A murder in. high social life was com mitted at the Sturtevant. House m New York on Tuesday. $ M. Walworth shot and killed his father Mansfield Tracy Walworth. The fathes had been divorced fronr his wife, the mother of the murderer, and had repeatedly written her threaten ing, tetters. It was for this that his son killed him. The murderer walked to the nearest station house and surrendered im mediately - The deceased was an author and was son of the well known author, Chancellor Walworth. A post mortem examination revealed the fact -that his brain weighed fifty ounces. Young Wal worth's counsel will plead insanity, we are informed by the telegraphy as the ground of defence.

The newspaper is . cf eat, its voice is respected, not as the expression of any individual s opinion; but as w"uuiy "ic " f "r"r is a never failing index of the politi cal sentiments and feelings of that community, if ' it is fair, honest and outspoken in its utterances. As the voice of the People the Conservative Press of every : land is listened to with the deepest attention by the Kings and the Rulers, and those who have been chosen to represent the people. Monarchs and Presidents rejoice in its good will and tremble m at its wrath. ' If the people are pleased with any measure tne ruiers win Know it through the columns of the honest, and truthful journals of the country ; if the wrath of the people is arous ed, the government will hear it in the ominous mutterings of the Press. Not only is the newspaper a power .in the land as an exponent of pub- lie opinion, but it is great as a chan- nel through which' the thoughts, opinions and varied experiences of the leading men of the country, find their way to the ear of the world. The greatest thinkers of the i those who mould opinion and give airection to tne current oi thought, speak through the pages ojf the newspapers: and thus great revolutions in science or politics are brought' about. Much of the finest talent is engaged in newspaper wri ting, and that in itself is a vast pow er, as it is Mind that controls and directs the muscular energies of mankind and .shapes the . destinies of nations. The daily paper tells every mor ning the history of the world for the previous day, bringing intelligence from every quarter of the globe, and faithfully recording r man's progress m every department oi human agen cy and activity. It is a faithful mir ror of the times, reporting with eqpal care the virtues and the vices of men, the deeds of good and the deeds of evil, the triumphs of war and the achievements of peace. It shows "virtue her own feature, scorn her own visage, and the very age andbodyof the time has form and presence." And more than this it i3 the hi8h province of the independ en; hQne"sV; fearless press, not only to "eye Nature's .walks and : catch the manners living as tbey w will," but to "shoot folly as it flies, and vindicate the ways, of God to man."

The President and thef; members an extended con- of the" Modoc much praise" was It i. .jLl .1 y.-' T fA.liiii inan- fteemrit, since his assumptioW of the command. It was, however, deemed proper to take no formal action at this time, in reference to th'edfsppsitoLri ;.to be' made of the prisoners; but to await the reception of the official report of Gen. Davis, which vyill furnish the full particu lars of his operations. General Davis will . make bis report to Geh. Sco field," and probably inquire what dis- position ue snaii . niaKe ui ma pus oners. General Scofield will refer the matter to headquarters here, and the Government will then make its decision. ' The-view's expressed by General Sherman sce-n to be pretty generally shared in oJfi cHal circles, and the impression is that all of the captur ed Modocs, who are amenable to the civil law, will.be handed over to the State authorities. Many of them are already under indictment for niuider, and there can be no doubt that they will speedily get what Gen. Davis promised them ' justice." Captain Jack and those who par ticipated with him in the murder of Gen.Canby and Dr. Thamas, have two chances for hanging, if turned over to;, the civil authorities or if tried by drumhead Court-Martial, to which they are liable for having vio lated their flag of truce. Z Gen. Sherman to-day repeated his opinion that the whole tribe should be turned over to the civil author ities, but expressed fear that the civil f courts woum woric too ' ' L t 1 1 M. would work too slow. -He thtlthough he instructed Gen. Gillemto exterminate. the Modocs and that the troops could not have t he heart to shoot them down when they threw up their arms and asked for quarter. Gen. Sherman's appre hensions that the civil courts will be too slow are no-doubt groundless. It is true the despatches say that Capt Jack is playing the insane dodge, but that won't go down in Oregon, THE QUAKER CITY. Burning of a Factory-Heavy Lou . PHitADELPHiA, June 4.

OUR 1.IVIKG AND OUR DEAD ; OR, Testimony From the Battle-Fields. Under the above title I propose to pub lish first in newspaper, and subsequently in book form, a series of articles giving the war, record of North Carolina from the election of Lineoln in Nov., 1860, to the close of the war between the States in May 1865. My plan embraces three divisions: 1st. Accounts of each skirmish and bat tle on the soil, or upon the waters of North Carolina. 2nd. Accounts of every battle fought during the war on the soil of any Stuto, in which any of the troops of North Carolina took part esjecial care being taken to show what those troojis did and suftl red in each ot those battles. "arm what glory and renown our officers and men l'airlv won. 3rd. " A Southern Chart for all time." An explanation of the third division (if the proposed plan will be submitted at a later day. That 1 mav acconmli&h this arduous, but pleasing self-iiMtl work, 1 invoke the aid of all mv brother soldiers, and ask them to furnish me material which can l;c arranged and digested so as to form a com plete record of the heroic deeds of the sons of North Carolina upon the battle fields f the Confederacy ; aud especially do ask all who can write to furnish me details of ev ery battle in which they participated, and the part borne by their immediate com mands. The time may not have come to write this portion of North Carolina's History ; but it lias come to collect material and ar range it for the use of the future historian. The living actors will soon pa? away, and much valuable information, unless gatli . ered now. will be lost forever. Hence, after waiting for several years for some one more competent to undertake the task, 1 have determined to devote the remaining veal's of my life to this labor of love. I yield to none in love for my native State, or in admiration for the gallant men who have shed imperishable glory upon her. I prefer to give these accounts first i:i newspaper form, in order that omissions p.nd errors, 11 any occur, may be pointed out and corrected before the work shall pass into more enduring form which it will assume, should it prove what I desire to make it, a valuable acquisition to the war -Lrecord of the South. Several prominent actors in the war hare already promised their co-operation and the valuable aid of their pens to lessen my labors and to make the work complete, and I hopetof nlist an army of valuable aid of their pens - to lessen my labors and to make the work complete, and I hope to enlist an army' of valuable co-laborers in the good cause as readily as did' North Carolina enlist her sons to fight the battles of the "Lost Cause." General -officers from other States, who commanded North Carolina troops, are re-snectfallv- asked to cive me all the infor-. mation in their possession, relative to the conduct aud bearing of those troops. In'eudeavoring to do justice to the sol diers' of my native State, I certainly shall most carefully abstain from doing injus tice to those from any other. My brethren of the press will confers favor by giving the whole, or such part of this Prospectus as they may deem proper, one or. more insertions, calling attention thereto. , Address "Our Living and our Dead, Newbern, N.
