which he claimed was bat the Law OF
nature. Mr.. Mcfarland objected to
being interrOgated with reference to
the circumstances which caused him
to visit the Tribune Office last evening.
He said he did not notice which way
Mr.. Richardson went after the shoot
ing. On leaving the Office which he
did Immediately after, he walked up
Center Street, and feeling weak and
hungry, stepped into a restaurant-he
did not know exactly the location
and partOOk of q stew and cup of eOf-
fee. Proceeding up town, he called
on his brother, and, in company with
him went to the WestmOreland Hotel
where he registered his name and was
given a room. Hearrived at the hotel
about o'clock, and was arrested
about 10 o'clock, by Capt. Allaire, Mr..
Mcfarland received a number of re-
pOrteIs last evening, to whom he gave
many particulars Of his trouble with
Mr.. Richardson He inquired Of the
Tribune reporter the condition Of Mr..
Richardson, it being then midnight,
and when told that he would probably
recover, he received the news with
apparent indifference, although he
had previously expressed his sorrow
for the crime he had committed. He
seemed quite comfortable, and was
smoking the entire time, and evident
ly sought to assume e nOnachalent
air.

ask the sympathy of no one; but
/ am already fearfqlly punished, not
knowing what moment 1 viii be ar
rested for my crime. And what then?
The State Prison, or suicide, if I pre-
fer it. will also state why 1 wrote
the note to HOlladay & Calhoun in the
braggadOciO style that l did. / want
ed to kill all the love and respect that
my wife ever entertained for me, and
thereby lessen the sorrow or anxiety
that she might feel for me after she be-
came aware of what I had done. You
who have up to this time thought or
imagined what q luxurious and ex-
travagant life I am no doubt leading,
are for once disappOinl ed, as I am one
of the most miserable criminals on
the face of the earth! You who have
families that you love, do you think it
would be no punishment for you to be
an outcast from their society and that
of your friends? Oh! it is almost en-
Ough to make q raving lunatic of me.
And sometimes l feel as if my very
brain was on fire, when l think of
what I have lost-friends, family, pO-
sitiOn, character, everything worth
living for, and to think where l might
be.
''There is nothing man knows in grief or
in sim"
Hall so bitter as to think t0hat might hare been.
This is all believe that I have to
say in extenuatiOn for the crime have
committed. Had I remained in
Brownville until the time came for the
next 'settlementn with the company
ION the 30th,) everything would have
been exposed, as had kept the Su-
perintendent in ignorance of it as long
as possible.
To sum it up in few words, my sit
uation was this: Arrest, trial State
Prison, if I remained. III abscOnded,
l might escape, and perhaps before l
was arrested return all that had Ia
ken.
Censure me orgambling, but blame
me not for the rest. OF one thing you
can rest assured-there is not more
miserable man on the face of the
earth than J. K. BEAR.
The above letter, together with one
to his wife, were dropped in the P. O..
in Brownville, on the evening Of Dec.
I'd, directed to the Advertiser Office.
They were both undoubtedly sent to
some one in Brownville, under cover
of another envelope, who dropped
them in the office on Thursday eve
ming. There is no manner of doubt
but that the-entire letter to the id
Uertiser is in the well known hand
writing of J. X. Bear. Colonel Ma
jors and Captain Carson recognized
the hand writing on the back of the
envelope, and they took the letter
from the postoffice and brought it to
us, knowing it to be from Bear.

LITERARY bachelors may find COM
fort in the following quotation "I
cannot but admit that many men of
genius have, from some cause, repu-
dated matrimOny altogether. When
Michael Angelo was asked why he
did not marry, he replied, 81 have es-
pOused my art;" and when a young
painter told Sir Joshua Reynolds, that
he had just taken wife, and was pre-
pairing to pursue his studies in Italy,
he exclaimed, Married then you are
ruined as an artistW 1t was an axiom
with Fuseil that the marriage state is
incompatible with the high cultivation
Of the fine arts, and such appears to
have been the feeling of many distin-
guished painters and sculptOrs. The
great metaphysicians, Hobbies, Locke,
Bentham, and Butler, are as solitary
as SpinOsa and Kant, and the eelibate
philosopher Hume conducts US to the
other bachelor historians, GibbOn and
Macaulay, The account given by Glib
bon of his first and last love is exceed
characteristic: " hesitate from
the apprehension of ridicule when I
approach the delicate subject of my ear
ly love. L understand by this passion
the union Of desire, friendship, and
tenderness which is inspired by q sim
gle female, which prefers her to the
rest Of her sex, and which seeks her
possession as the supreme or the sole
happiness of our being. I need not
blush at recollecting the object Of my
choice; and though my love was disap-
pointed Of success, 1 am rather proud
that was once capable Of feeling such
a pure and exalted sentiment The
lady was afterW ards Madame Neeker.
and though GibbOR' might presume to
hope that lac chad made some i'm
preston on a viituOus heart, - his IA
ther would not hear of it. ttAfter a
painful struggle yielded to my fate.
l sighed as lover; obeyed as a SON.
The application Of such a style to such
a subject points the man almost as
we'll as the black figure shipped out bV
Mrs. scissors, and exactly cor
responds with the notion of him which
his history suggest. The bachelor

in the air by some form of balloon, our Padu

shaft, with two arms to which beautiful wing;
are attached. These wings strike the air al
about the same angle as the wings of a birt

than the.,wings used on any other f wing ma

their own county people, who are not without in
erest in the naintainance OF first class Hotel at
their county seat. The Proprietqrs, if properly
supported by the business men of 6taHnton, and
the farmerg of Augusta county, will be able and
are determined 10 make their house second To nonf
