GsxTLxxxiT : An extract from an Alabama pa-.
pernndcr date .Huntsville, Nov, 4th. attracted my
attsonon a few days ago, giving an account ot tne
murder of a young jnan by the name of Alexander
Porteus, as having been perpetrated in a most shock
ing manner about six weeks previously to that day ;
and as I believe the perpetrator of. the murder pass
ed jhere the first of the month, . I have thought prop
er to address you apprising you of the circumstan
ces inducing that belief. . . ,
. During the first week in this month about day
break, as a servant boy was passing along ths public
road about a mile from Raleigh, he was accosted by
a ypung man Whom he describes as being genteely
dressed in a broad cloth frock coat" and pantaloons,
who-had a pair of saddle hags or his arm and a gun
on his shoulder, iirn'o enquired of him thei way to
Milton in this State, now far it was to the nvcr, how
far before the read forked, and how far be (the bey)
was travelling on the road. When the boy infbinw
eU ..him he was going about haJf a mile further, the
JSpug man , told hhaif he would carryj his saddle
bags as far as he was, going, that he would give him
the saddlebags and part of. theis 'contents the boy
agreed to carry-the hags without any eompenaation;
hut when they parted, the youcg man emptisd his
saddsehags, took out. some few articles of clothing
and gave the boy the saddlebags, a shirt, a shirt col
lar, stock and a circiftgle. v. On my return home, the
bey told me of the ciicunietance, and I directed him
to bring me the things, tlaiaking there was somei
thug rvery suspicious in the cireumstance.- ' I found
the saddlebags ahnosT entirely new, with no name
on them, hat the mark still on them Which ws 1
E M, 6the circingle bad nothing but the price,
which appears to be 6s 4t & also new; on the shirt
I could find no na'me but. the shirt collar, whicKwaa
very , black, was marked AV sfi Ponwca l,These
articles are all now iaUny-possession, and I will re
tain them until I hear from .you I made ennhy
in town the day after I learnt the circumstance from
the servant, but could gain jk mfonnation of such a
nian being there; and it was not Until I saw the no
tice in tha paper ; dial the matted occurred' to? me a
gain. 1 regret that so long a time has elapsed since
the y pung.man passed here and that I have no clue
to his footsteps but I have no doubt het was the
perpetrator of the act If this information shall be
(Qf any service to his frlendsf; or the meana-ef detect
ing the murderer, I shall he rejoiced and' any aid

- The Post 0W?ce Avdebate of unusual in
terest sprung up in the Senate ubexpected
edly,. last week, on this subjec t The Re
port of the Minority of the Committee, ap,
pointed to investigate the affairs of the Post
OfRcet,concltided by re'cmmending a fili
for reorganizing the Department As soon
as the bil I was read M r. Preston rose an
said that after the disclosures ihat had been
made by. the Committee in their Report, of
the flagrant delinquencies and Brnipt prac
tices in the General Post Office he was ut
terly astonished to hear -the Committee 'pro
pose nothing more, than a legislative pro
vision for the re -organization of the Depart
ment. Does any one believe there is no
turpitude 'm this important branch of the
Government ? Docs any tbelieve that there
has not been found in it a foul and mon
strous corruption, most disgraceful to nsas
a 'government that has been in existence
so short a period ?" Could any one shut
his eyes upon the fact, or misunderstand
what was meant by the declaration of the
Chief Magistrate, that " the whole Execu
tive power was his, antT he was responsible
for the use of it ?" Were the corrupt a
gents of this department to be screened
from merited condemnation & punishment?
He would not give two-pence for any mea
sure f reorganization, if it was not permit
ted us to put a brand upon those 'culprits
,Avho havej been proved guilty of so much
turpitude. Mr. Cuthbert replied with great
warmth, and spoke in reprobation of the
apparent attempts to detide upon the me
rits or demerits of the Post Office Depart
ment on party grounds. Mr. Calhoun ask
ed, who ever dreamed of Party, or the in
fluence of Party being brought to bear on
so momentous a question. He had listen
ed to the Report with the utmost attention,
and could not disguise his feelings of pro
found melancholy and deep humiliation at
the disclosures which had been made. It
remained to be seen whether the Senate and
the country would sustain these disgrace
ful, corrupt, and fraudulent practices. . He
declared that if no other Senator stept for
ward to da it, he would move a resolution
setting" forth the sense of that body as to
the guilt of those who were concerned in
these corrupt and fraudulent transactions.
