WRECK AT CAPE HENRy.-It is reported
at the Exchange reading room that the
schooner Reddington, from Rockland, Me-,
to Richmond, Va, with fish and lime, went
ashore at Cape Henry on Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday Captain Gregor went to
Norfolk for assistance, but finding the
Messrs. Baker, wreckers, fully engaged, he
returned to the beach, hoping to obtain the
assistance of wrecker in that vicinity. At
that time the schooner lay well up on the
beach, her bow in soft mud bank, and she
had formed quite bed. If the weather
continued good, and assistance could be
had, she could probably be got of. Her
rudder is gone, and she has been on fire
from the lime, but it was soon extingutshed
without much damage. Her sails and the
deck-load of fish have all been landed on
the beach. The vessel did not leak at the
time. The above particulars were received
per letter to Loud, Claridge & Co., from
NorfOlk.-BaI. Sun, 18th.

FURTHER ACCOUNTS OF RULoFr's ATRooI-

FURTHER ACCOUNTS OF RuIoFr's ArRooI-
TIEs.-[f'rom the Troy Daily Times, Jan.
H. In this connection it is proper to add
fact in Rulof's history that has evidently
been overlooked. Soon after his marriage,
and while he was living with the family Of
his tuther-in-law, Mr.. Schutt, in Dryden, he
was employed as physician to attend his
wife's brother and that brothers child in
sickness. These both died suddenly while
under his care. Nothing was thought of
il, however, until after the disappearance
of his wife, when 1t was remembered that
he had shown much ill-feeling to this
brother-in-law because the latter had op-
posed his marriage. And though there was
no means of proving this first double crime,
which was soon succeeded by another Of
more tiendish atrocity, yet there Is scarcely
n citizen of Dryden who does not believe
TO this day that young Schutt and his little
child died from poison at the hands of Ru-
left. How many others have fallen by his
murderous hand will probably never be
known, for he is not man to whom the
galows can present sufficient terrors to
force him to confession.

Message OF Gov Scott, OF South Caro-.
lima Relative to Martial Law-He
Declines IN Declare 1T.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. T.--Gov. Scott,
responding to the inquiry of the Legisla-
ture why military force was not employed
in certain counties, says substantially that
he can hardly venture to pronounce the
counties in which cases of Individual out
rage are reported to be in condition of
Instruction. In my opinion" he says.
"the civil law of the State ought to be sufi-
cient to suppress disorders" He says he cam
not contemplate the use of an armed force to
punish individual violations of the law in a
time of profound peace, and calls the atten-
ton of the Legislature to the fact that all
the cases of reported violence are indi-
vidual. None of them have assumed the
character Of public combinations. against
the law, and they are within the regular
jurisdiction of the criminal court. -

CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE.-[New York cor
respondence, January 6, Of the Chicago
Journal -Chief Justice Chase has come to
New York to spend the winter. He, along
with his daughter, has taken rooms in a
pleasant neiehborhood just out Of Fifth
avenue. Though in feeble health, he is
able to walk about the house, and occa-
sionally upon the street. He receives calls
| from his old political friends, and is quite
| cheerful. 1t is very plain to see, however,
him. that his present physical prostration is
Il source of no little unhappiness to him.
He seems to have abandoned all idea Of at
| tanning the Presidential chair, feeling that
| his health would never permit Of his ac-
cepting nomination should one he ten
, dcred him. In case the bill continuing the
salaries of Judges resigning because Of ill.
health should become q law, the
| Chief Justice will probably resign.
| He feels that he has not enough to sup
port him in good style without his con-
| tinuing to draw revenue from some
source. He is, however, worth about $780,
| OO0 Though / am by no means an admirer
Of Judge Chase Of 1S6S-'7O, l can but adj
mre his integrity. Probably no American
ever enjoyed better opportunity for
III king IL colossal fortune than did Mr..
Chase when he was Secretary of the Trea-
sury. But he made no more than his sal
airy, and as late as year ago he did not feel
that he could afford horse to ride to and
from home in Washington. He has always
been tremendous worker. This was par
ticula,ly the case when he was at the head
of the Treasury Department. His brain
was over-taxed, and, in fact, it has been
ever since. The relations existing between
him and the President are of a friendly
though not intimate nature. A marked
characteristic in Judge Chase's character is
his power of retaining the regard and friend
ship of his personal followers. When. two
years ago, he was ready to go into the Tam
many camp, these old friends, abolitionists
of the strictest sect, were ready to go along
with him. Now, he is constantly receiving
visits from whilom Radical friends, who
call to let him know that they still stand
with him politically. wherever they may be.

The Philadelphia Telegraph Republican,

talks 10 carpet-baSger as follows:
"Mr. Abbott, Of North Carolina, pro.
poses to attempt to get seat in the United
States Senate, not because he received a
majority of votes for that position, or be.
cause he is legally elected, but because his
successful competitor, Governor Vance, is
disqualified. If the latter allegation is well
founded it seems an infinitely better reason
for ordering new election than for admit.
TIM, to the Senate man who is not the
legal choice of the people of North Caro-.
lima. The Republican party of the South
has already suffered so much from arrange
ments similar to that contemplated by Alb
bolt that they should all be discountenanced
in future. A large portion of the Office.
holding southern Republicans have proven
miserable and traitorous time-servers at
best, and it is an exceedingly improbable
task to exercise doubtful powers in behalf
of any of them. They are too poor lot to
justify heavy Investments"

AN AWFUL DEATH-Burted in q Sno,o
SHde.-[From the Idaho Statesman. i
William james Hicks and his brother, John
Brisco Hicks, lett Rocky Bar on the morn
ing of the Sth instant with the mail for At
lanta City. 1t was one Of the most stormy
days ever known in these mountains. They
left this place at the hour of O'Clock in
the forenoon, and had progressed very
favorably on their journey some nine or
Just come upon the grade of Ball noun
tain, when all of a sudden they looked up,
aud just above them WAS snow-slide
coming with the velocity OF lightning.
Jimmy Hicks was in advance, and had
just a few seconds before looked at his
watch and noticed the time, which was
O'Clock. AS Jimmy saw his impending
doom, lie turned his snow.shoes down the
hill, excaiming, ooh, God! Oh, Bris !"
This was the last ever seen of poor Jimmy
alive. They were carried down the noun
tain nearly quarter of mile, into what is
known as "Black Warrior" the younger
brother, Brisco, being carried up to one
side of the gulch, while Jimmy was taken
down its centre over deep declivity of
rocks. 1t is almost miracle how Brisco
Hicks dug himself out of some ten or twelve
feet of snow, and that, too, in the midst
of pitiless storm which was raging fu-
riously at the time, and travelled all
night without snow-shoes in snow up
to the arm-pits, with no food, and not even
pair Of gloves, one Of the coolest nights
OF the season. Nothing but thoughts of
his dead brother, his home, his mother, his
dear little sister, could keep that boy alive.
He arrived home Friday morning at about
8 o'clock, nearly frozen-both feet badly
frozen-and proclaimed the unwelcome
news to frantic and heart-broken moth
er, who nearly became crazed over the sad
event. In a few hours the good people Of
Rocky Bar had turned out nearly en- masse
to do all that kind hearts and willing hands
could to find the missing one, which was
done about noon of Saturday, and his re-
mains brought to the place that night.
