Massachusetts. They have gone into particular
heroics over the great Know-Nothing victory, and
vpfeeeatad Gardner in a sic smixr tyrant is
attitude, with his heel on a certain specimen of the
genu-i rrptilia called abolition. If anything were
wanting to show the abolition sentiments of Gard
ner, and the cause of joy over his election by Southern
m n, it is only necessary to state that, Thursday
last, the Know-Nothings of Massachusetts held a
State council at Worcester, and Gardner was pre
sent. Daring the progress of the session the ques
tion of sending delegates to tbrt Cincinnati K. N.

The late election iu Hear York lias dearly
demonstrated the fact, that amid the confusion of
parties and the fanaticism of polities, there is a band
of good men and true, who are not only willing but
determined to carry out those National principles
by which they are distinguished. We allude to
t'te Hard ; who, though defeated in the recent
election, presented a bold front to the tide of fanati
e'stn which rolled over them, and retired from the
fi -Id with the consciousness that they had served
th ir country well. While this highly conservative
element in New York pobtics remains, we have hope
thai the leaven of truth and right will pervade the
m3te, and that by November, 1054, popular senti
ment will be to elevated aad enlightened, that a

Our Relations n nil Cireat flriiuiu-
The arrival of the Pacific, while it brings more
lull and exact information in regard to ihe purposes
and object of the British government in dispatch
ing an additional naval force to the West Indies,
has, at the same time, served to confirm the as
surances which we gave to the public a few dajs
since, that there is nothing whatever in the diplo
matic relations ol Great Britain and ihe United
States which net d awaken a moment's solicitude
on this side of the water. It is abundantly mnni
test, lhat in both countries there exint in the minds,
as well ol government us of people, a right ap
preciation ol ihe value ol mutual pe ce to each,
with a corresponding determination not to let go
its advantages fur any secondary or inadequate
cause.
It is true, that one most important question is
the su'Ject ol cirnest discussion between the two

expedition wearing the appearance, at least, of
menace against the United States.
But, as the United States are acting in ihe clear
est and most indisputable right in repressing and
punishing all foreign recruitment within our juris
diction, and as that right IS uneq iivwc illy admitted
by the British Government, it would seem to be
impossible that that su jeel should produce any in-teri-p'iou
ol our amicable relations.

The fire was undoubtedly die work of an ui

third story to the cellar, and targe balls of cotton
saturated with spirits of turpentine, were found in
various places. The most intense indignation
exisls against the perpetrator of this dialiolical
crime, which ha In en attended with such disas

Uortlblc Affair.
An esteemed correspondent sends us the fol
lowing, w hich we lay before our readers :
A man, who was raised in the edge of Nortl
Carolina, adjoining Lancaoter District ol tin

Lewis, in the upper part ol this District. Said
man (B. F. Therrell by nam- ) and his w ife sep i

nothing has been known of Therrell, until yester

went away again, and that he expected to leav

and her (Mrs. Lewis1) oldest son Edn und, to

who seemed u have been visiting Edmund as m

loue. aj,e berd nun fire off" annarently i ih
house, at which she quickened her pice, and
reaching the yard, she lelt her horse and pro

encountered Therrell, coming round the house
with the rifle still on his shoulder ; she asked htm
what that shooting meant, but receiving noanwer,
and seeing no one else about, she ran into ihe
house, and found her son E 'niuud sitting by the
fire cross -legged, with a book open on his lap,
erect in his chair, (wiih n traces of any distur
bance having taken place.) perlectly dead, shot
through ihe head with a rifle or pitol. This
sight brought a scream from tbe old lady, at which
her daughter, Therrell's wile, came in, she having
apparently been walking out alone at the lime.
Cornelia on seeing her dead brother, likewise
screaoied with terror; in the meantime, Therrell,
hearing his wife in ihe bouse. ra in. seized her j
violently ands'arted for lhe door, sfae screaming
and he dragging her forward.
Mrs. Lewis and her little son immediately set
out la alarm the neighbors, and on their return,
accompanied by neighbors, ihey f nind all silent

What RaitRoans u fob Farmers. The fol
lowing paragraph from thM Athens (Tenu.) Post
shows what railways do for farmers. The far
mers of the three counties named derive a clear
profit this year alone on the single article of wheat
of more than $200,000 from the railway. Their
400,000 bushels of wheat sell for $200,000 more
than it would have realised if there had been no
railway to take it off :
"VVueat. The price continues at $1, One
hundred and nineteen wagons unloaded at thede.
poi here on Tuesday . the 6ih This county will
, export, ol the late yield of the harvest, one hn
j dred and six'y thousand bushels. Oilier counties
ilon the line of the road will nerh ns do as well.
o - i r
The three coundes ol Br.idly, McMinn, and Mon
roe, from the informs' ion now in our possession,
we have no doubt will sell for export over 400.00Q
I bushels, at an average of one dollar per bushel.
Here, then, is the snug sum of between bur and
five hundred thousand dallarsi diffused among ihe
people of these counties for the single article of
wheal alone, the product of a sinjde harves',
How much wheat did i he 8" s-ime counties export
before the railroad was built, and at what price ?
Not more than twenty-five thousand bushels, and
that small amount was sold at an average of fi.'y
cents per buh- I. In the mainwhile lands have
quadrupled in value, and iheowners have actually
become rich by enhancement, almost without an
effort of their own."

Foul Murder. A friend writing us from
El'zab :h City, N. C, under date the 16 h says :
' This morning, between four and five o'clock,
William Charles, Esq., in going to his farm in this
County, (Paoquotank.) was shot dead, at a place
called the Pear Tree BuriaJ Ground, not quite a
mile from this town. Air. Charles was a prominent
and influential citizen, and represented this County
in the House of Commons in 1946. The perpe
rator of this cold blooded murder has not yet
ieen discovered ; indeed, Mr. Charles was so
universally beliked that suspicion does not rest
on any person. The assassin, it is supposed,
was secreted during the entire night in the thick
under growth of the Burial Ground, and as ibis
peaceable and inoffinaive man was returning
home in his buggy, commuted the diabolical deed,
ilaeing- fourteen buck-shot in his left breast, near
ts heart. Money could not have instigated the
nurder, as hi pocket. book and wa'ch were left
untouched. Mr. Charles leaves a wife, several
hildren, and many relatives and friends to mourn
lis loss. Much excitement prevails in the com
nunity on account of this shocking deed,"

The War of 1812 Notional Convention.
Hon. J B. Sutherland, President ol the Con

lefenders of the country in the war of 1812, who
met last January in the city of Washington, to
assemble there again on the approaching anni

to the resolution adopted at their last session, to
which time and place the Convention adjourned.

Pure Air. In about two and a half minutes,
ad the blood contained in the human system,
amounting to about two gallons, traverses the
respiratory surface. Every one, then, who breathes
n impure atmosphere two and .a half minutes,
has every particle ol his blood acted on by the
vi-iating air. Every panicle hus become less
vital, less capable of repairing strictures, or of
arrying on lunctions ; and the longer such air
s respired, the more impure does it become, and
he blood necessarily becomes more porrup'.
Atmospheric Aib. This element, when it
titers the lungs, contains about two gallons ot
carbonic acid in every five thousand of air. When
i' escapes from the lung, it contains two gallons
in every one hundred. From this it is easy to
see how much solid carbon is continually thrown
from the system, and how much must necessarily
he consttimly supplied.
A Hint o.n Household Management. Have
you ever observed what a dislike servants have to
any thing cheap? They hate saving their em
plover's money. 1 tried thi experiment with great
success the other day. Finding we consumed a
vast deal of soap, I sat down in my thinking chair,
an4 look ihe soap question into consideration, and
I found reason to suspect we were using a very
expensive article, where a much cheaper one
would serve the purpose belter. I ordered half a
dozen pounds of both sorts, but took the precaution
ol changing the papers on which the prices were
marked before giving them in the hands of Betty !
"Well, petty, which soap do you find washes
the best?'1 -O! pjecse sir, the dearest in the blue
