Association to th pople of jLthroW wW a nlL!Sf1 and dUappoin tmen i ou ' 8" , " ' -ter thWtU former. With all due . respect to toMfttafclv mustsay thatit It neither . fall nor a fair statement of the questions discussed; and ?t iio M w think. a shallow rlew into the srreat cice of political economy. It to rather of the speclat pleading order, calculated more to entrap the aiwary in the web of ophlttry.thim to ; reason. . ,,.:' i . v"'-v''i ' ! We hiTe it to neithwAa nor r state ment of the question inyolved, and we propose ; TiriViddre-Mweli'ndUinfUie Standard, , fweliave not yet received a copy ofthe pamph U) the foUowW case to put: -The overseer, with SO hands under Aim, making for hit employer 100 bag of cotton, worth ,$5,000, if receiving $600 paid $6, and the employer, for that hich produced bim J5.000, paid VNow this state ment of tha case to neither foil nor Mr, and what to more, without intending to be offenTe,lt to not true. It to not full, because it omita the im portant fact that the employer has land ai well as slaves employed in making the 100 bags of cot ton, and jipon which he pays a tax ; it U not fair, Wause theyroM income of the employer to given while that,of rthe overseer is nett ; it to not .true, because the employer in fact pays more than $10. tax upon tbe3egroe alone, besides a tax on the land with wlgtt) he makes this 100; bags of cot ton. ' J '" ' . Now we will undertake to give a sUtement of the case, which iwe submit to the Judgment of all practical men as the true one. We assert, then, as a fact that nine out of ten of the plantations in North Carolina, upon which 100 nags of cotton can be raised, will sell in mar - ketfor $10,000. Besides this, mules, horses, hogs, cattle, farming tools, are all required to carry on the orafaiions' of firming, and they all cost idoney. Stales and horses must be fed, negroee must be fel and,. clothed ; doctors, blacksmiths, carpenters, plow makers and menders must all be paid too out of this $5,000. A tax to paid both upon the land and the poll, to the county as well as the State, and rather more to the former than the latter for it is a necessary to support the county s the State government. The case sim- , ply and truly slated is as iouows : 20 negroes pay a poll tax to the State of $10 The same negroes pay an average county tax . .of f 12 $10,000 worth pf landVpays a Stato tix of . 20 The same land pays ad average county tax of 25 , Total, 67 Sixty-seven dollars, then, is tho tax which the em ployer must pay upon the property with which the 100 bags of wtton ar made ; and it must paid, oo, out of this income of $5,000, just as the over . seer pays $6 out of his income of $600. 'Buttbis is not the only deduction to which this $5,000 in r eome is to be subjected. W e make another esti ' mate for the authors of. the Address. The expenses of the farm must be deducted, and these we estimate as follows, . attain appeal ing to the judgment of practical men to sustain us : . Total receipts by employer from cotton crop, $5,000 He nays overseer's wages, ' $ ,600 Feeding and clothing 20 hands, at $70 each, 1,400 Wear and tear of mules, horses, wag - ons, &c, Ac., 500 ' 2,500 , Nett profit, , ; -2,500 Two-and-a-balf per cent, on the above r.ett in come of the employer, gives $62.50 just $4.50 less than, the tax he has paid. Tho tables are . completely turned by this . computation. Tbe overseer pays one per cent, on bis nett income, while the employer pays more than two-and-a-half per cent, on his. . Where, then, to the justice of this outcry against the slaveholder in behalf of the overseer ? We doubt not our , readers would excuse us from going farther to expose the fallacies of this Address ; but as we have said it evinces but little knowledge of the Science of political economy, we i feel bound to make good the assertion by proof.' ! We propose, too, to show that slave property in North Carolina pays directly and indirectly at least four-fifths of ail tbe public taxes, county and State. And if this be true, then sihe very basis ' upon which the Address rests crumbles under it . ts purpose being to. show that slave property does toot pay its due proportionof the taxes. In speaking of the merchant's tax, '.be Address says : " This $37,881 to paid, not by the merchants themselves, but, as every one knows, by the con sumers." True, every word of it ; and we shall - hold the authors ofthe Addrsss to this admission, and turn their own battery upon them. In tbe first place we would ,ask, who are these consumers that py the merchant's tax of $37,-884-. Who ( buys more than tbe slaveholders, their wives and sons and daughters ? Ask the merchant, and be will tell you that slaveholders purchase at least four-fifths in value of all the goods be sells, and consequently pays four-fifths of the merchant's tax. r ShouM any one doubt this, we challenge him to gOvto any merchant in any town in North-Carolina, and be will find our al- legation to be true. Let him make the experi ment at all events. Again, in speaking of certain taxes paid under the tax law of 1856-'7, the Address says : $1,000 in goods purchased paid $ 3.33 1,000 in clothing, : 10.00 ' -1,000 in liquors, . ; 55.00 1,000 worth of carriages paid ' 10.00 . 1,000 worth of pianos, 7.50 2foW who, we ask, paid these taxos 1 "the con sumers," " as every one knows," says the Address. True again; and who are the consumers of these articles 7 Who buys carnages, pianos, liquors, goods, &c? We venture to assert that there are not 20 pleasure carriages in the State but what are ' owned by slaveholders that there are not 100 pi anos owned by other than slaveholders. Of these articles they are' virtually the exclusive buyers and consumers, and of course the exclusive payers of taxes upon their sale for. the consumer pays, the tax, says the Address. It to true beyond ques tion, that but for the custom of slaveholders, nine ' tenths of the merchants in the State would be compelled to shut up shop. Thus it is that the' slaveholders pajMirectly and indirectly at least fDur-flfths of all the public taxes. And here to the secret in our political economy which the authors of this address seem not 10 have discovered : La bor is the great lwsis of all other interests, and in Ifortb Carolina slave laboi to almost the only pro ductive labor we have that to, labor that actually creates wealth from the products of the soiL Let os look a little more minutely into this sub ject Edgecombe county, with slave labor, pro duces 20,000 bags of cotton annual worth, at the estimated price putupon cotton by the Address , one million of dollars. Now. if Edgecombe yields . one million from' slave labor, we think it will be' considered a moderate estimat to say that all the other counties in the State yield twenty-nine mil iona more--thirty in all. Now, will anv one pre tend that free labor, exclusively, in North Caroli na, sends into market as much as two milions of dollars worth of produce ? It certainly falls short of this amount.- , If these be facts, all may see whence are derived the resources of the State s-whence comes the money that purchases the pianos, carriages, liquors, i clothing, silks, velveu, and tbe thousand pther costly articles sold by our merchants and trades people, and whence comes .the money, too, that pays our mechanics and manufacturers including the identical overseer who gets his $600 out of ,t the products of slave labor. Yes, the product of ;,. slave labor pays the income of most of our u Work V ing Hen," nod pays them the money, too, with which they pay their taxes. - BatllMooiMumer" pays the tax says the Ad dress, JUl admission I "Let v$ see bow it works oak Th employer who makes bis 100 bags of cotton withJO bands a Urge orop by thejby eonsumet ' theUbor of the overseer, and pays him ' $600 wages including his 6 tax.

THE 1RREPRESIBLE CONFLICT IN V NORTH CAROLINA. The Raleizh fN. G.) Standard of a recent dote contains a long address to the people rf the State bv the " WakeCounty Workingmen'pfAssociation," which cannot fail to be regarded as an illustration of jhe "irrepressible conflict' which ever exist be t wen freedom and slavery. The objectof the as sociation is to bring about an equalization of tax ation in the State, so that slave property may be compelled to pay its equal portion of tbe public burdens, xne constitution 01 me Diaie, as u was remodelled in 1835. provides that slaves between the ages of twelve and fifty years shall be subject to a poll or capitation tax, equal to mat paid Dy white men ; and that those over fifty and under twelve fhall be exempt from taxes. According to the address of the association, this leaves 187,913 slaves, worth $112,567,800, untaxed. The 150,925 who are subject to taxation are valued at $139,000,000, and the Ux paid on this highly productive slave property is only $75,462, while real estate, worth 97,842,431 pays 146,150. Mere then, is a striking instance of partiality , to slavery One-half tbe elaves, worth fifty to seventy-five millions, at least, and estimated by tbe address at one hundred and twelve millions, goes untaxed at together; while 'thercmaining half of tbe slaves are taxed only hull as mucn a tne land. Inere are other still greater inequalities : as. for instance, $31,980,000, money loaned, pays $76 774 taxes, or more tban $248,567,800 worth of slave property Here tbe discrimination in favor of slavery is in seven-fold ratio. Tbe Workingmen's Association demand change in the constitution, so that property of all kinds may be taxed upon tne ad valorem principle, or acvording to value.' Tbe present arrangement, which entirely exempts young staves from taxes, would seem to have been designed to encourage tbe rearing of slaves for market?, or, at any rate, such is itd effect. On the other hand, capital vested in manufacturing and merchandise is taxed enor mously. A thousand dollars' worth of land pays $1.50 A negro worth that amount, or even twelve or flfteenjhundred dolIars,'only pays 50 cents : while a thousand dollars invested In manufacturing, to taxed, ten dollars ! Is it surprising that a SUte wbicniadberes to tnis policy is more remarkable for the number of slaves it rears for market than for the amount of its manufactures ? This is an important movement in North Car olina important aS well for the character and influence of the men engaged in it, as for its ob ject. Its movers are not obscure "visionaries," but prominent and leading members of both political, parties ; and although the Address disclaims party purposes, it is not improbable that a new organi zation of parties will grow out of it Tbe Stand ard is theleading democratic paper in the State, and the editor favors the move ment ; while tbe State Senator from Wake, a dem ocrat, is a prime mover in tbe enterprise, and pro bably the author of tbe Address. It filds favor in the western part oi the State with all parties, and is published with approbation by the Greens Ixrougb Patriot tbe leading Opposition organ in that section. The Patriot my & that it is satis fled, from the signs of the times, that the Opposition State Convention will take ground for a change in the constitution, so as to engraft the ai valorem prmcipleof taxa'ion upon it at the peril of the western members seceding, and running an inde pendent ticket. ' From the Hartford (Conn.) Evening Press. CANNOT KEEP OUT OF IT. While the administration papers of the South are endeavoring to put down all discussion oi the 'slavery question by discussing one side of it con' stantly and to tne exclusion of everything else, biiu tu imui me agitation vy gelling iunousiy Bg itated themselves, they occasionally find tire up-Iv subject disturbing them at home in a most uncoin- lortaoie way. The Raleigh (N. C.) Standerd of a recent date, contains a long address to the people of the State by the "Wake County Workingmen's Associa tion" which we should expect to hear the demo cratic journals characterise, as an incendiary doc ument. It has the same general effect as Helper's impenaing vrwia, (a dock addressed to ine non slaveholding whites of tbe South by a native of North Carolina, and extensively advertised by the New York Herald and Hartford Times ;) it comes from non-slaveholders and will lead them to inves tigate more fully the influence of the system upon their interests. , The object of the Association is to bring about an equalization of taxation in the State, so that slave property may be compelled to pay its equal portion 01 ine pupiic Duraeus. , Here follows the statistical portion of the above article from the Era, appropriated without credit. The Press then concludes as follows : Tbe Standaard, which publishes the Address, is tne leading democratic paper of the State The Greensboroug Pc.trict publishes it with approbation ; the western part of the State, where there are fewer slaves, strongly supports it, and the opposition State convention will probably take ground for a change of the constitution. And so the irrepressible conflict goes on. . j : Shocking Accidxnt xrom Wxabxvq Hoopid dkirts. On Friday last, a girl, aged about 15 years, and daughter of Mr. Ls K. Barr, residing near Hagerstown, waa frightfully , burnt whilst washing near aflre in an outhouse. The Herald says that the young lady had her back to the fire, and having on an extension skirt, the latter came in contact with the flames as she leaned over or pressed against the tub in which she was doing oar wor. oue was instantaneously enveloped in flames, -and though thrown down- and rolled in the snow by her mother, the fire was not extin guished until tbe flesh on tbe poor girl's back.

' ; ! Mr. Clarke was surprised that hisfriends should have prepared this resolution without consulting him, and refused to withdraw his previous resolu tion, Mr. Haskin asked a question of Mr. McKse, which elicited from Mr. Clarko, rf New Tork, the words, " It to none of my colleague's business.'?- Mr. Haskin still on the floor, spoke in a loud tone, saying he wanted to show in what, position bis colleague had stood. His colleagueclaimed to be an an'.i-Lecompton democrat, but had been cir cus riding. , There were loud and repeated cries of Order I take your seat I - As the disorder was increasing, a member ner vously called for the Sanreant-at-arms. Many members rose to theft feet and come rose to tbe main aisle, near : which Mr. Haskin was standing. . Mr. Keilt's voice was beard, amid tbe calls for order and the noise of the Clerk's hammer, saying. " whenever there are personal grievances they should be settled out of the House 1" Cries ofOrdbrl Order I Mr. Harris, (Md.) who was near the side of Mr Haskin, claimed his right to the floor at the Clerk's band. J , The excitement constantly increased until eve ry one seemed to be apprehensive of personal col lisions. ) x Mr. Keitt advanced to the mam aisle onUnuc- ing to talk, as -did Mr. Cobb, (Ala.) and others. A number of members were speaking at tbe same time, the Clerk in tbe meantime smartly rapping with the eavel, while the hisse from tbe floor and galleries, and cries of "order 1 from all sides of the House, added to the general tumult, Cries of "take your seats!" hissing and the Clerk's rapping were frequently repeated. Soon the Serjeant-at-Arms advanced, display ing his mace of office, and commanding the peace Quiet waspartially restored. Mr Harris (Md ) claimed tbe floor. Mr. Morris (Pa.) objected to all proceedings) till order was secured. , The' Clerk requested the gentlement to take their seats, with which invitation they complied, Mr. Dttvidsnn (La.) wished to say that, when he next came to tne Uouse be would bring bis double- barrel shot gun with him. (Juaugbter.) Mr. Harris (Md.) was astonished at his friend from Louisiana. It seemed the gentleman was disitosed to make game of the House. "Laughter. 1 The very best evidence that gentlemen could give of their own self-respect and dignified demeanor was to organise the body, and show that these temporary excitements can be quieted as rapidly as they arise, and can never again be renewed on this floor. Applause. .They should conduct themselves as dignified representatives of a digni fied people. Renewed applause. Mr. Clemens (Va ) Will the gentleman -give way ? Mr. Harris I will ! not. Mr. Harris then asked a question of Mr. Hickman, who replied that he was willing to dispose of all tbe pending propositions without dobato, or be was willing to withdraw his poposition, .if the gentlemen thought an organization could thereby be ad vanced. Mr. Harris asked whether Mr. Stevens, of Penna., would withdraw his pending point of or der. I Mr. Stevens replied that be was willing to vote on it instantly ,and on all the pending propositions, wunout lurmer aeoaie. Mr. Winslow moved that the House proceed to vote for Speaker.: Air. Clark (Mo ) exclaimed W ever, till the House votes on my resolution. j Mr. Harris (Md ) remarked that i he wou'd hereafter present tbe substitute agreed on by the committee for Mr. Clarke's resolution. Mr. Clemens, as a member of tbe Virginia Del egation, said he hoped he would never again wit ness such a scene as that of to-day, whether in public or private life. He was standing four feet from Mr. Haskin, and when the latter addressed his colleague, Mr Clark, who had said it was none of of his business, he mw Mr. Haskin put his hand in his breast., and therefrom fell a revolver. There were immediately loud cries for order . Mr. Harris (Md.) said that he did not yield the floor to Mr. Clemens. - Mr. Haskin proceeded to say that the falling of the pistol was accidental ; therefore when it was said' that he either drew, or attempted tc draw a pistol, they state what to not within the pale of truth. He would never use a pistol unless he was unjustly assailed. ' After some humorous remarks from Mr. Ethe ridge and others, the House adjourned. Washington, Jan, 13. The Senate to not in session to-day. j HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Smith,' of Virginia, said there were two propositions in the resolutions offered by Mr. Clark, of Missiouri. First, that the doctrines of the Helper book are insurrectionary and hostile to the peace of the country.! Was not th's true, to the very letter ? He asked the question. The next proposition was that no member of this House who endorsed or recommended the doctrines and sentiments therein affirmed, is not fit to be the Speaker of this House Was not' this also true to the letter ? He wanted an answer. Mr. Bingham said he wished only to say to the gentlemen, to tbe House, and to the country, that when the gentleman from Virginia I denounces that book without limitation as an incendiary production, he denounces the last will and testa ment of Washington, which is contained in that book. The resolution denounces the " Unanimous declarations of the convention of Virginia in 1786, instructing the Congress at Philadelphia in that year. The resolution denounces all the truthful words of , the distinguished McDowell,! of Virgi nia, namely : "You may yoke your slave to la bor as an ox ; you may compel him to hire to work, and work to hire, and yet tbe idea tbat he was created free will abide with him because be his the right to the hope of immortality." 1 The reso lution denounces thelivingsentiment of Jefferson, copied from his notes on Virginia, namely : "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God to just, aad has no attribute to take sides against slaves for their rights and liberty," I The gentleman from Virginia should also re member tbat the denunciation in the resolution f is also a denunciation of. the words of the1 Con- tinental Congress, when about entering 'upon a seven years' war, wherein it was said in the ar ticles of association by the mem be -a thereof, tbat they held every man or, community of men as enemiej of American liberty who were not oppos ed to the traffic in slaves. I L- VTbe resolution also denounces that part -Of the. declaration or lnaepenaence wmcn ooiu.j W AVI V 1 - 1 notds j tnese irutbl to be self-evident: Tbat all men are creat ed equal, and endowed by their Creator with, ceri 3-,1 1.1 VV, life liK- erty, and the pursuit or happiness, etc, ana mat when any form 01 government Deeomeavjiew-tiw-, tive of anv; of these ends, it to the. right of the 1 people to alter or abolish it.

Applause The ' gentleman refers to the sentiments of dtotinguished revolutionary men ; many of .them I endorse 'others are false ;n philosophy and ' false in fact, uut wnere j. make a bargain I stand i by it. The genf leman howeves makes a bargain and then spurns it. If Thomas Jefferson entertained certain notions on the question of slavery, what had tbat to do with the Federal Constitution ? Did not the convention which framed the con stitution adjust that question ? Mr. Bingham. "JNo the word slavery was ex punged from tbe document." Mr. Proith poin'ed to tbe clauses in the consti tution relating to slavery, and. tbe rendition of fugitive slaves,-and asked the gentleman from Ohio why he did not respond in a' somewhat pe remptory; tone. r'L s - ' Mr. Bingham. "I want the gentleman to xmw I am not bis slave'." Mr. Smith. "If you were I would make you behave better than you do now. You would get what you need." .Laughter.! : Mr. Bingham 'Will you let me answer in my own way; or will you direc. me what to say ? Mr- smitb. ! will direct you to tske your seat till I get through" Mr. Bigham I regret to find tbe gentleman is so ill-mannered. Mr. McKnigbt, of Pennsylvania, said to , Mr. Smith he bad not read the Helper book, nor should he do so until ton years hence, to see what occa sioned the present tempest in a tea-pot. Mr. Smith thought it the gentleman's duty to read the book, to enlighten himself. Several gentlemen Messrs Davidson, Taylor and Boulignv made some explanations as to why they bad voted for Mr. Maynard. Mr. Stevens played off" a joke. He said gravely that he bad been misepresented in a certain news paper, and sent it up to be read. The clerk was about to read it, when he discovered that it was printed in German. Tbe laughter was general, of j 1 . 1 . . ,'- 1 1 - course, aim uere iu iunuur uiiueu. Mr. Conklin cal'ed attention to a telegraphic dispatch sent from this city, in which it was said that be bad passed a note to Mr. Barksdale. He wished simply to say that the statement was with out foundation in fact. Mr. Barksdale corroborated this statement. Mr. Vallandigham remarked tbat he had been tbe "second" of Mr. Conklin in massing over to M. Barksdale a bit of court-plater in an envel ope. 'This was all that passed between them, and gave rise, no doubt, to the report referred to f Laughter. Mr. Hatton, of Tennessee, made a speech to show that the democrats and southern oppositionists together could not e'ect a speaker, and pointed to the fact that the two, by uniting on Gilmer, could secure the support of other gentlemen, and thus con Id succeed in electing him. Mr. Barksdale, in the course of the de&ato, ask ed Mr. Hatlon why he would not join the demo cratic party, in resisting the aggressions of t he .re publicans, instead of continuing bis guerilla war fare 7 Mr. Hatton replied that in his canvass he said that he had declared that the man who took high er ground than be did be had not yet seen, and that if one such could be found, he was willing to surrender to him an open track. Mr. Barksdale asked if tbe gentleman had yet voted "for Speaker, for any member other tban one belonging to the American party ? Mr. Hatlon replied that the time had not yet been when bis vote . would hnve elected a demo crat ; but the time was when the democrats, who claim, par excellence, to be the defenders of the rights of the South, could have elected a Southern man in the person of Mr. Gilmer Mr. Barksdale replied that Mr. Gilmer was ac ceptable to a portion of Jk black republicans, and that he would never vote for bim.' Mr. Pennington made a speech to sho w that the discussion was of no practical utilitv, and in con elusion offered a resolution for the adoption of the plurality rule. This was met with stern opposition from the democratic side. After further proceedings, the House adjourned till Monday. THE NEW YORK HERALD. The New York correspondeit of the Mobile Register makes the following revelation. Speak ing of the Herald, he says i The Herald has some very extraordinary men engaged upon it. The principal eaitorial writer is the celebrated Doctor Jones, who is the real author of tbe "impending Crisis of the South," by Helper. Tbat book was 1 ompiled bv Doctor Jones in the Herald office, from facts and state menu that hove been atu-sted by Mr. Bennett. Helper may have assisted tbe Doctor. As a rroof of this let me call your attention to the fact that nothing of any consequence was said about tbe book until a few days before the meeting of Con gress ; then the Herald opened upon it, r publish ing extracts and abusing it editorially, day after ,dav, until members of Congress engage I in tbe discussion, and tbe fortune of Dr. Jones, Helper and Benedick, the publisher, is secured. Bennett is & very shrewd man, cunning as a fox and deep as one of his own bcotch glens. If any deviltry is to be concocted be can do it and beat batan ten points in the game. A MODEL CRIER. An old paper, turned up in general cleaning up, contains the following : , In a bea itiful town of North Carolina, an old court-crier, who had grown gray in the cause and deaf as a beetle, was in the habit of calling the names of witnesses (which he generally managed to get wrong) from the second story window of tbe courthouse, in such a stentorian voice as to be heard with diftinctness a square or more. Qn one occasion, in the course of a very serious and somewhat important suit, the presence of a witness named Arabella Manks, was needed. The crier, like a parrot, sat nodding on his perch, when he was aroused from his slumber by an order from tbe Court to call the witness. Looking anxiously at tbe Judge, with his hand behind his ear, in order to catch the sound correctly, he said: " What, your honor?" " Call Arabella Hanks," said the Judge. Still in doubt, the poor crier arose from his seat, and said again, with a much puzzled look : " What, your honor 7" " Call Arabella Hanks, crier, and delay tbe busi ness of the court no longer,'' said the Judge much provoked. ffr-vf. "The old crier, thereupon, with a countenance indicating both doubt and desperation, proceed ed to the window, and in his loudest Voice called out; ' " Yaller Belly Shanks I Yaller Belly Shanks ! Yaller Belly Shanks' come intocourty It is needless to say that the seriousness of the courtroom was convulsively dispelled, and quiet was restored only to baga:n disturbed by the laughter caused by the criert who, in answer to the Court as to whether the' witness answered, said: . " ' . r " No, yoir honor ; I don't believe there is such a person in the county, for I have lived here forty years, and I never heard of bin before," ' Cold Weathkb. The Houston Telegrapb makes tbe following extraordinary statement. As near as we can ascertain, .there were from fifty to sixty people frozen to death wUhin the State of Texas during the last cold weather.' Of these, at least forty were under the influence of liquor when frozen. , There were 'many thousand bogs, cattle and sheep frozen to death also, none of L whomit to fair to ; suppose,.; were under the in- Buenoe 01 spiriu. . - . . ...... .. ,v - A New T rk letter of Monday sava the failure of a wbolesale grocerybouse w ts reported this afternoon.

CONFESSION OP A MTJBDERER IN NEW , , YORK. j On the morning of the 27th of November ast,a sailer, named James Quinn, was shot dead on board vf the schooner John M. Clayton, lying at the foot of Twenty-ninth street, East River. Be fore breathine bia last deceased stated thatta bad been murdered by a man named Thomas Down ing, who came on board the vessel in the night time for the! p urprwe of stealing. Downing was arrested the day after Qjuinn'g death, and commit ted to the Tombs to await the action of the Grand Jury. On Saturday evening a boatman mtmed Lawrence Ten Eyck made his appearance at the Twenty-first street ward station-house and said that he was the person who shot the deceased, and not Downing. - He came to the station-house, ho said, for th purpose off delivering himself up. and gave the otneor in command a detailed state ment of tbe ccurrenco on board the John C. Clay ton, on the night ot the murder. Ten EycK said that he went on board the schooner in the even in?. Quinn iwas making a fire in thi cabin at the time, and asked him what he wanted. He re mained but a few moments, when Quinn told him be mu6t go ashore, and th reatened to shoot hire if he did not comply with his request., Deceased bad a gun in his hand at the time, and fearing his was going to Bhoot, Ten JSyck made an effort to get tbe gun out of his bands, and in the struggle which followed the weapon wm discharged, tbe entire charge entering the abdomen of deceased, j Ten Eyck says the shooting was purely accidental, but fearing that he would be charged with murder he determined not to say anything ibont tbe matter. Latterly, however, the affair preyed upon bis mind to such an extent that he could not sleep at nieht. He therefore concluded to rrake a elenn bre ast of the matter, jnnd rescue an' innocent man from ignominy and imprisonment. , Extraordinary Insukakckd Dividend. The Lexington (llo.)
