Peace to their manes I A DEPRAVED VILLAIN. ; A few days ssnce the officers of the Fifth Ward Police received (information that two young feenatee, nsuned Louisa Slowly and Catharine Blauvclt,one of them an intcrest inir child only 13 years of are and the other a girl about 17, had left the residence of Uieir parents under such suspicious circum stances, that there was no doubt some foul : means had been used in their abduction. Accordingly, Captain Moneypenny, accom panied by two of his officers, made diligent search for the misguided creatures, but with out effect, until Saturday last, when their labors were crowned with success, as in paw ing down Church strret, they beheld them on the steps of one of the houses in that locality awaiting the opening of the door. Oa being conveyed to the Station House, they said that they had been induced to leave their residence, No. 433 Hudson street, at the earnest request of a man named William Murray, who promised to put them in a way of obtaining plenty of money if they would go with him. The elder of the girls first submitted to his proposals, and finally per suaded her companion to follow his advice. The first place to which they went wag to an infamous house No. 25 Elm street, where they were locked in all night. On their liberation in the morning, Murray continued to urge them to pursue a course ol life which would enrich them. The- arts this villain used proved successful. They ngreed, and went to No. 22 Manhattan Place, where they resided until the day of their arrest, when fearing pursuit, they fled Tor the purpose of seeking a safer place, and wene caught while in the act of ringing the bell of one of the "boarding houses for young ladies," in Church street. Search was immediately made for the depraved man, who wished to profit by their ruin : and he was arrested at No. 25 Elm r-rt t the nc nf boasting of his success. The charge being fully proved against him he in i J it. a, wer in the sum of $1000. Such is one of the contrivances resorted to .Jar the purpose of thronging our streets with t degraded" females, and peopling with fresh Victims the already crow Jed liouse of ill fame. Murder and Arrest of the Murderer. The Cleveland Herald learns by a tele graphic despatch from SanJusky dated Dec. 19, he following particulars of a robbery, murder and arrest ; A drover by the name of David Johnson stopped at a hotel in Marion, Ohio, when by some means the landlord learned that he carried $2000 with him. Johnson proceeded .from thence about 12 miles to buy cattle. The Landlord followed him and shot him. The drover feignfd death while he was drag ged into the woods, forced between two logs, and covered with brush. After the landlord left he made himself heard to a passer by. 'Put me in your waggon and drive to the tnv-ern-as fast as possible.' said the drover. On arriving there the landlord came out to fnke the horses, the drover rawed his head n.nd exclaimed 'That is the man that shot me. he hns $2000 of ruy money and ten minutes after he expired. The landlord gave himself up aod confessed the deed and is now in jail. From the Ntv Orlcant Daily Delta. LATE FROM YUCATAN, By the arrival here yesterday, of the hrig , Harriett, Capt. White.ney, ten days Irom Sisal, we have received the Boleton Official of Me rid a, to the 6th instant. The recent capture of Peto, a most impor tant strong-hold in thepeninsuala, feas given quite annul her aspect to the destructive war. so long ragmg betwen the Yucatecos and the Indians. "This victory," says the Boletin. ''has diffused a higher and purer satisfaction among the inhabitant ol the State, than has reigned there for a very long time." It adds, (hat is of most vilml importance to the cuntry, and has already restored to the con trol of the government a vast number ol ctiizens. as well of European as of indigenous origin. Vost the Doletin of the blh in$t Arrival. At Sisal, just arrived from Vera Crux, the national schooner Rafaela, with $14,000 for the State government and $1200 for the Charitable Soriety of Merida. On the same day. arrived Irom .New Orleans the American bark F lorida. with 330 volunteers, and 60 sacks of corn, for the municipal au ihontjes ofMerida. The promptitude with which Col. White performed his engagement with the Yucatan government, relative to the volunteers contracted for, and to be rais ed in the United States, merits the I ighest panegyric. Tbe same compliment is due to Major McDonnell and Capt. Kelly, who accompany him. The foreign battalion ofvolunteers lately arrived ax Sisal, are now in this city. They will afford a firm rallying point and an effi cieoi support to our combatants, as they are inspired with ardent enthusiasm for the cause of the gov ernment They have already cap tivated the public esteem by the good con duct and particularly by the 6ra deportment of their officer. The remainder of these papers it filled with account! ol skirmishes and guerrilla en counters, which are recorded as alwavs ter minating to the advantage uf the whites. rVinism Dandridge Epes, convicted of ths murder of Mr. Muir, was hung yesierdsy. A lane number of persons were prcaeot lu wIidcm the execution.

VViUllNUTON, N. G. -y Tuesday, January" 2, isi9. The Commissioners of Navigation hive issued sn order, thst sll vessels arriving from N. Orleans, shall perform a quarantine of IS days, before they are per mitted to come up to the town. This measure of wise precaution will be very gratifying to our com munity, among whom some uneasiness prevails rela tive So communication with New Orleans, durtott the prevalence of the cholera there. COMPLIMENT TO COL. PAINE. Our readers were Informed some months since, that many of the friends of Col. Puine in this place, had It In contemplation, to shew their appreciation ol his gsllant services, by some suitable public demon stration. The presentation of a pair silver oltchc rs, wss finally resolved upon, and we are hnppy to be able to state, that the pitchers are now in this plua . They are extremely beautiful, chaste and rich j nnd are the more appropriate, becuuse ol their groat du rability. They will soon be delivered to Col. Vaine in Ral eigh, and oi r townsmen Messrs, Wm. A. VVrioht, Thos. D. Meaijeb aud Rout. VV. Cowan have been selected to perform the grateful tusk of presenting them. CHOLERA IN NEW ORLEANS. Accounts from New Orleans are very gloomy. As many as 150 are reported to have died in one duy, of cholera; and although it is stated that the disease is abating, we see no ground for such a statement. An important fact has been mentioned to us, relit, tive to this terrible disease which is, that in all its history, it has never been known to prevail in sandy regions. If there is no mistake in this, there is no cause for alarm on the seaboard i N. Carolina. THE DIFFERENCE. We find the following telegraph in the last Balti more Sun : " Alexandria, Dec. 28th, 8 I.

The rumor that death in conjunc tion with a battalion of quack physicians, had caused the ossjfssi nation of the renowned Doctor Clickener for spoiling their trade, is, we are most happy to learn, contradicted. They made the foul attempt in the shape of a variety of diseases, but hejust took a dose or two of his own all-conquering Sugar-coat-ed Pills, and scattered the enemy to the four winds of heaven. Dear Reader, those Sugar-coated Pur gative Pills areas sweet ass sugar plumb, neither gripe nor nauseate, though tfey ore splendid purga tives ; and hence oil sorts of people take them, and get well, which Is the cause of the malice on- the port of death and the quacks. ANOTHERTESTIMOMALTOTBE WONDER FUL EFFICACY OF WISTAR'S BALSAM, Nswinoton, Con. Feb. 1, 1546. Mr. S. W. Fowle; Sir: Having purchased of Mr. Charles P. Wells, your agent at Hartford, Wlstar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and being so much gratified wath Its effects in my own case, I am disposed to give you and the pnblic a ttatcmcnt of my case that others similarly atllicted may avail themselves of the benefit to be de rived from this truly valuable medicine. I was taken with bleeding at the lungs about the last of April, LS45. I immediately applied to a phy-slciarr-and followed his directions-for a considerable time ;. but I still continued to bleed every few weeks, and' to all appearances I war rapidly sinking to the ynve. I then applied to other physicians and al though under the treatment of some of them I be came a little more comfortable, yet the attack of blee ding recurred every few weeks until f had the sev enth, at which time the quantity of blood" dischar ged was near half a !eo-cup: Every successive at tack seemed to reduce mo lower till si last I had no appetite. I' had n severe pain in my right side, so that I'eoald hardly turn myself in bed witht help; -and the pain at times was so severe that I could not refrain from groaning. A't times I also had a severe pain in my chest and left side. I now asked my phy sician what he thought of my case. He replied that 1 ought to know the worst of it rtiaf Be thought I should not get well. This was on the 16th of Sept. I then purchased at the store of Mr. Wells a bottle uf Wistar's Balsam. I continued to use it and from the first two bottles I did not notice much ben efit except that sny appetite became better and an ulcer upon my lungs discharged, alter which I be came comparatively free from pain. After taking the third bottle I gained in flesh as much as one pound per week for five weeks. I have now taken seven bottles, and ain able to do a good deal of work in my shop ; and although I am not quite as strong as formerly, I have every prospect of becoming so. 1 w ould rhcrcfore recommend to the public Wistar's Balsam as being a most invaluable medicine and one every way worthy of their entile confidence. I have not a doubt that through the blessings of God It has been the means of raising me from the grave. Yours, dec, S. B. LAMBERTON. MARINE NEWS.
