This advertisement Was issued IN consequence
OF the discovery " tho murderer Of the widow
spelling and her daughter, aud the recovery of
the spolls Of lis fearful crime. upwar of twenty
years after 1t had been committed
In July, lS52, the police Of Amsterdam saw on
the floor OF the house on Harlem street where
Catharine Spelling lived with her daughter Dor
othy, notice to The effect that the two women
had gone to the country. This notice aroused
no suspcions. but when the old lady and her
daughter did not return after the lapse OF six
weeks the police entered it. A fearful sight met
their eyes. The widow and her daughter, with
their thrOats cut from ear to ear, were living on
the floor in an advanced state OF accommodation
while all the bureaus were rifed Of their yalua-
bles.
1t was ascertaned that the murderer had ear
riel OF diamonds. money, and bonds amounting
to nearly one hundred and fifty Thousand dollars
Time passed by, and the double murder was al
most forgotten, until on the 3l OF July last the
hJlae in which the crime had been committed
was torn down. Between it and the adjoining
house was space Of about one foot in width,
and hemmed in there was found a male skele-
ton. At the bottom Of tins space, lay a large
leather pocket, containing the diamonds the
money aud the bonds Of the murdered widow,
This skeleton was undoubtedly that Of tho muir
dersr OF the two women, who after aasaHsinating
them and baggng his plunder, had tried to es-
cape over the roof OF the house, but, slipping his
foot had fallen into the space between the two
bindings. There he met with the Just retribu-
iion Of his terrible crime. lie died there the ex-
cIuclatiug painful death Of slow starvation

What's the matter with the mails!

What's the matter with the mails! Is
a question that We have been request
ed to PROFOUND for the benefit Of the
public generally. A friend tells US
that it took him about ak weeks to
get an answer from letter written to
Monroe, La, about ten days to get
one from Delhi to Rayville, and three
weeks to receive one which had been
mailed to him from Winnsboro. If
this be the case there is certainly some
thing out Of joint, and the question
arises, where is it. The mail trains
being very regular in their trips
makes it appear that the fault is
among the post masters.
Will our Monroe, Delhi and Wins.
boro exchanges please tell us what
kind of post masters they have?
Take hold of this subject, brother
quill drivers, and let's Sift the matter
little and find at whose door lies the
difficulty.

tinc,ion of past sectional feeling, pres
ent party difference, or of birth. race
of color" 1t is incontestable that by
the order of q Federal Judge, made ef-
fectual by military force, Official
body, claiming to be the regularly
elected government Of that State, has
been superseded and another body
with rival claims substituted in its
place, and that both claim the ale
glance and obedience Of the people
The disorders, moral, social and po-
! litical, have followed upon this snom-
alous state of things are depicted ia
lively colors by the sufferers; but
it NAV be we'll believed not too strong
/ OF in excess of the truth An appeal
has been made to the President for re-
dress, but that official appears TO have
devolved the duty Of Interpretation
upon Congress, which was in session
while these transactions were in prog
ress, but that body has adjourned
without action on the case, and the
President in their recess still refrains
from interfering, and peope Of this dis
tressed State are thus lett, at least for
the present, to their fate. Were this
received as the deliberate decision OF
those entrusted with the constitution
al powers of the Government, we
would he forced to conclude that, in
stead of preserving and enforcing the
pledge in the constitution that "the
United States shall guarantee t. ev-
cry State in the Union a republican
form of government" they were CO.
operating to foil and defeat it. But
We hope for better things. Therefore,
Resolred, That this General AS
scmbly does earnestly unite "in the
appeal now being made by the people
of Louisiana TO the President for IN
extra session of Congress, in order
that necessary and legal measures
may be inaugurated by that honora.
