The Murder Of Engineer Kellogg

dent gives the following particulars:
The Navy Department to-day received
news Of the fatal affray at key west, be-
tween surgeon William Nj. King and
Chief Engeneer Mortimer i. Kellogg,
which resulted in the almost immediate
death of the latter The particulars,

category of military crimes in time o

Capt. Clary's dispatch says that al

The First Senatorial District.

Since our last issue MIR. Watt Il e
member OF our State Senate from the
first district has died. This leaves the
present delegation tn the the Senate a
tie-l6 Republicans aud like humber
Of Dem Jcrats. Mr.. Watts place can
only be filed by an election in bis
district which must be called BY the
speaker OF the Senate, and which must
take place not later than thirty days at
ter said call shall be made. Whether
MIR. Speaker White will make this call
before the meeting OF the Legislature
we have no means Of knowing. The
Fir.t Senatorial District is politically
very close, and the result of an election
considerably doubtful. The Repupli-
cans, during the last Congressional
election, were divided into two factions,
anu the feeling between them was quite
bitter This state OF things, to some
degree, still, unfortunately, exists. Mr..
Watt had two years yet to serve. His
seat was contested by his Democratic
opponent, and it was only at the close
of the last session of the Legislature
that thar Committee reported in his favor
and he was confirmed in his election
There are quite number Of candidates
offering for tho unexpired term, but
they have all been more or less connec-
ted with the rival factions mentioned.
We regret to see this, and hope that all
these'parties will withdraw their claims,
and unite upon some competent candi-
date who has been in no way connected
with the late family fight. There are
many such in that district, and it is OF
the highest importance that a Republi-
can should be returned from it. This
can be done by united effort, and the
Senate saved to our party. Never was

RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT.
REV. 9. N. HEARD, EDITOR.
He Has Said T.,

Several years ago, when preaching for
time at church on the other side Of
the Atlantic, my attention was attracted
by little girl, Sabbath after Sabbath,
in the coruer of certain pew. She in
variably kept her dark sparkling eyes
fixed on the minister, indicating an un-
divided attention. Several times I had
determined to speak to this intantile
worshiper after the service, but before
reaching her she was always gone.
Week after week | watched her, and
found that like faithful sentinel, she
was ever at her post, manifestiug the
same devout interest.
On inquiry found she was not, nor
ever had been, a pupil at the Sunday
School. and further information pro.
claimed the fact that she was a beaut-
full oily among thorus," or an exquisite
flower,
"Born 10 blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air"
No frieudly:hand had led her to the
sanctuary, and no one cared for her soul,
But Isvael's gentle Shepherd sought out
his tender lamb, and brought her TO his
house, where she heard the music of
Cavalry, which melted her heart and
drew 1t to Jesus.
One Sabbath, | looked for my little
hearer, but she was not there: soon a
lady called and requested me to visit a
little girl who was sick. On entering
the chamber, what was my surprise TO
find it was my little hearer. On con-
versing with this dear child of twelve
years, I found, to my incxpressible de-
light, that | was conversing withsa ma
ture saint already ripened for glory.
Never shall | forget her sweet smile,
her more than earthly joy, and her
beautiful aud unwavering confidence ,in
Jesus. When asked how she knew that
Jesus had heard her prayer for her
mother, whom she thought she should
soon leave, she replied in voice sof,
and touching as an A1olian harp: "HE
HAS SAID IT. He HAS SAID IT." That
was .enough;tor her. Never did l have
6rmer illustration Of the meaning oi
faith, than from the lips OF that girl
who in holy triumph soon passed away
Surely out Of the mouth of babes and
sucklings. the great Redeemcr perfect'
praise. Let not the Church, let not min
stcrs or Sunday School teachers, let mo-
parents suppose that very young chill
dren are too young to come to Jesus
! He himself declares ''of such is tn,
! kingdom of heaven. "-.Americaa Mes
