Capt. Whitworth who was involved
in the killing of Ivey and Aston and
the wounding Of the McCarty
brothers some months ago in LeAore
county, having been acquitted of two
charges and bailed on the third,
returned to Rising Sun, in that
county, last week and was basely
assassinated. Sooner or later be-
yond doubt the towards who did the
work will be brought to justice,
though as yet no arrests have been
made. This sort of crime will not
be allowed to go UNPUBLISHED in any
decent community in the State and
it is safe to say that the mlscreants
will pay the penalty of their crime.

The Glory and Beneficence Of
erase.

1t is seldom that we find in prose or
poetry anything more truly eloquent or
infinitely accurate than the following de-
scriptiOn of grass, from the pen of Sena-
tor ingalls,:
Next in importance to the divine pro-
fusion of water, light and air, those three
physical facts which render existence
possible, may be reckoned the universal
beneticence of grass. Lying in the sun
shine among buttercups and dandeliOns
of May, scarcely higher in intelligence
than the minute inhabitants of that MINI
&c wilderness, our earliest recOllectiOns
are of grass; and when the fitful fever is
ended and the foolish wransle of the
market and forum is closed, grass heals
over the scar which our descent into the
bosom of the earth made, and the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket of the
dead Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her constant benediction. Fields tram
pied with battle, saturated with blood,
torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green
again with grass, and carnage is forgot
ten. Streets abandoned by traffic grow
grassy like rural lanes, and are Obliterat-
ed. Forests decay, harvests perish, flow
ers vanish, but grass is immortal; be-
leaguered by sullen winter, it withdraws
into the impregnable fortress of its sub
terranean vitality, and energies upon the
first solicitations Of spring. Sown by the
winds. by wandering birds, propagated
by the subtle horticulture of the elements
| which are its ministers and servants, it
sOftens the rude outlines of the world.
1t invades the solitude of deserts, climbs
the inaccessible slopes and fOrbidding
pinnacles Ofmountains, mOdifies climates
and determines the history, character and
destiny of nations UnObtrusive and
patient, it has immortal vigor and ag-
gressiOn. Banished from the thorough
fares and fields, it bides its time to return
and when vigilance is relaxed or the dy-
nasty has persisted, it silently resumes
the throne from which it has been ex-
PEELED, but which it never abdicates. 1t
bears no blazOnry of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor. but its
homely hue is more enchanting than the
lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit in
earth or air. yet should its harvest fail
for single year. famine would depopu-
late the world
