We pledge ourselves to our friends to
give them every satisfaction in our

solicit from them a continuance of

for the most part at an advance

Indiana. Official Dignity.
-The close of the late session
of the Legislature presented a
scene of rather novel interest
in the history of Legislation.
The nomination of the Judges
of the Supreme Court by
Gov. Ray gave great dissatis
faction to the Senate, and after
various reports, resolutions
and messages, the difference
was blown into a perfect hurri
cane by a message from the
Governor, impugning the mo
tives, of the members in some
of their proceedings. v Several
of the Senators rose in their
places and charged the Gover
nor with using his ofiicial pat
ronage for electioneering pur
poses, declaring that the State
was disgraced by him, and
praying that Providence would
avert a similar calamity for the
future. The Governor, hear
ing these denunciations as he
was sitting in the lobby, rose
and attempted to defend him
self, but sat down in a few min
utes, apparently overcome by
the intensity of his emotions.
On the last day of the ses
sion, a committee of the Sen
ate waited upon him to ask if
he had any further communi
cations to make, to which he
replied in the affirmative. On
the return of the committee, it
was unanimously resolved not
to wait for his communications,
and the Senate, adjourned sine
die. N. Y. Jour. Com.
Horrid Murder. On Sat
urday evening, last, about' 8
o'clock, Mr. Samuel Harvey,
a respectable citizen of this
county, who resided near Bath,
was deliberately murdered on
his own plantation, by a runa
way negro, while endeavoring
to effect his arrest. The im
plement used in the perpetra
tion of this diabolical act, was
a knife or other sharp instru
ment; from the wounds of
which Mr. II. survived no
longer than noon of Monday
following, having been stab
bed and cut in a most shocking
manner. The negro made his
escape, and has not yet been
taken. A reward of S100 is
offered by the brother of the
deceased, for the apprehension
of the murderer.
We understand that, a few

hours previous to the commis

William Harvey, had his hand
nearly cut from his wrist by the
same negro, while endeavoring
to secure him.
Postscript. The mur
derer is taken. He was ap
prehended without resistance,
on Thursday night, and is now
safely lodged in the jail of this

"Roman Liberality. "We
find the following article in the

Rev. Bishop Dubois, Catholic
Bishop of New York, stating
that he had received from the

often thousand crowns, towards
building a college on the Hud

More Frauds in Cotton.
On Friday last, two bales of
fraudulently packed cotton
were detected, both from the
gin and press of Asa Sowell, of
Moore county, and one of them
owned by him. A writ was

which will bring him to answer
the charge at our next Superi

Bank Robbery The City
Bank, in Wall Street, was en
tered by means of false keys,
some lime after closing the
bank on Sunday evening and
Monday morning, and robbed,
as near as can be ascertained,
of near two hundred thousand
dollars in bank bills, and two
hundred Spanish doubloons.
Sixty nine thousand five hun
dred dollars of this amount
were in bills on country banks.
None of the notes lodged for
collection, checks, or any other
sureties held by the bank are
missing. There are no marks
of violence perceptible on any
of the doors leading into the
bank, or on those leading to
the vaults. Activei measures
were immediately adopted by
the board of Directors to trace
out the villains, but we do not
learn that they have as yet
made any discovery which en
ables them to direct their pur
suit to any one given point.
So ingenious have thieves be
come of late it would really
seem that locks are no security
against their depredations.
And as the city watch, whose
duty it is to guard our property
by night, the numerous recent
robberies show that there is
little dependence to be placed
on them.
The Bank has offered a reward
of ten thousand dollars for the
recovery of the money stolen.
It is said that the death of
Mrs. Nancy, wife of Mr. Charles
Jarvis, hair dresser, by suicide,
was induced by the oppression
of a creditor who had imprison
ed her husband for a small
debt which he was unable to
pay. She entreated the credi
tor personally, to liberate him,
and his refusal drove her to
take laudanum. Boston Pat.
