proposals have been issued by Messrs.
Thompson & Ilomans, of this city, to
publish an Army and Navy Journal, upon
the plan contemplated by our prospectus,
which has been for some months before

have contracted for a press and paper
large enough to publish a sheet contain

it as an extra from the Telegraph; thus
reducing the postage to one and a half

Thomas G. Marshall, were in the room
with the sons, but were not injured, al
though so much shocked as not to see
the lightning or hear the thunder. The
sufferers are all recovering
Shocco Springs. From the unprece
dented number of visitors, who have
thronged to this agreeable watering place,
during the present season, we would con-1
elude that our citizens are beginning to
appreciate its advantages. It has been
a matter of much surprise to us that, the
the citizens of n State possessing such
ample sources of recreation and amuse
ment, as North Carolina, should seek for
them in the Northern States, and lavish
their wealth upon strangers. Many can
tell you all about the beauties of the
Hudson, and the efficacy of Saratoga wa
ter; but they arc ignorant of the beauties
which adorn their native State, and of the
virtues or its mineral springs. They talk
to you in glowing language of the pictu
resque scenery of the Catskill, but know
nothing of the grandeur of their own
mountains; and were it not for an occa
sional traveller from other States, and a
few foreigners whom chance directs
through this isolated but beautiful region,
we should hardly know there was any
thing like attractive scenery in North
Carolina. Whereas there is no section
of country in the United States better
calculated to elicit the admiration of the
traveller, or where the amateur of plea
sure, or the low country valetudinarian,
could spend their summer months more
agreeably or more advantageously than
in the western part of this State. And
while Saratoga, While Sulphur, and ihe!
Brandywine Chalybeate Springs, arc re
sorted to by hundreds of our citizens ev
ery year, Shocco and Buncombe have
been but comparatively little known, and
shamefully neglected. The water at the
former is said to contain many valuable
medicinal properties, an analyzation of
which is contemplated by Mrs. Johnson,
as soon as she can procure a competent
person to examine them. The water is
said to be efficacious in resuscitating de
bilitated constitutions, counteracting bili
ous diseases, improving digestion, dis
pelling lassitude, and the consequent de
pression of spirits. The country round
is notoriously healthy, while for beauty
and diversity of scenery, it is not surpas
sed on this side of the mountains. The
neighborhood is wealthy, and its inhabi
tants hospitable and refined.
Mrs. Johnson, the proprietress of these
Springs, encouraged by the patronage
she has received during the present sea
son, designs improving and embellishing
the premises, before the ensuing summer;
and she will doubtless spare no pains, to
render her visitors comfortable and a
greeable. We hope a liberal public will

elbow, which caused a very painful frac
ture of the os humeri. We learn that
she is doing well and is likely soon to re
cover. We cannot avoid mentioning
here, as an extraordinary sample of fe
male presence of mind, that, immediately
after receiving the fire of her attempted
assassin, the young lady blew out the
candle to escape a second assault upon
her life! There was no grown person in
the house but Mrs. Lucas, who retreated
up stairs, and by her screams alarmed
the surrounding neighbors. But the
most awful and fatal part of this bloody
tragedy yet remains to be told. No
sooner had Mr. Heath fired upon Miss
Hoover, and, as he supposed, killed her,
than he tied to his father's barn yard, a
short distance from the house, and there
re-loaded his rifle, deliberately laid down
on his back, placed the muzzle of the
piece under his chin, folded the barrel
firmly in his arms, touched the trigger
with one of his feet, from which he had
taken the precaution to remove the shoe
and stocking, and discharged the whole
loading into his head. So effectually did
he perform the horrible deed, that it is
believed he never moved after it, as he
was found the next morning in the same
position in which he must have laid down.
An inquest was held over his body on
Saturday, by the Coroner for this coun
who pronounced a verdict of death by de-
locrate suicide.
The only alleged cause for the perpe
tration of this inhuman crime is, that the
young man had paid his addresses to the
young lady, who declined his proposals;
and, stung by ihe mortification of disap
pointment, he resorted to the dreadful
expedient which he did to revenge his
hopeless attachment. We understand
he sustained, through the neighborhood,
the character of nn honest, industrious,
and peaceable citizen.

Horrible Suicide. About 8 o'clock on
Friday night last, Mr. James Heath, a
young man who resides in his father's fa
mily about 10 miles from this place, went
to the house of a Mrs. Lucas, a near
neighbor, where a young lady (Miss Hoo
ver) resides, and deliberately shot her
with his rifle in which he had put two
balls. Providentially, however, in eleva
ling the piece to the window through
which he fired, its muzzle struck the
glass, which caused the young lady sud
denly to move from the position in which
she was reclining at the moment of time
he took his aim, and thus escaped with
her life, though not without having recei

and fore finger of the left hand and the
other through the same arm above the
