An Abolitionist cavghl.On Monday
evenino' last, one of thnse nlous and be-
rtevoleiitiphilanthntpist?, heated, no doubt
bythctr6ctrine9 ofTappan, Garrison, and
Jiirney, attempted to reiluce their theo
ries to practice. Fur this purpose he hell
a secret nocturnal meeting with ,. slaves,
endeavoring, with all his powers of per
suasion, to induce them to rob their mas
ters, and fly to a land where all colors
were alike. U must have been a most a
musing entertainment, for the gentlemen
who, within hearing and seeing distance
themselves unseen, unheard, saw the free
papers forged saw htm pocket the sup
posed stolen money, the reward of his
disinterested zeal in the cause of free
dom, heard his generous phillippics against
slavery, and his scripture quotations in
general. Need we say he was introduced
to Judge Lynch, who administered the
law to him with great renrct, 'tis true,
but with perfect justice, all admit. i"The
application of such punishment is deeply
to be deplpred in any country. We la
Ynent it more than any thing, save the fa
naticism, .and villainy which alone can jus
tifyit. ' Deeply must the necessity for
such a remedy be deplored, and awful is
the responsibility assumed by those who
in their writings and doings, instigate
others of humbler rank in life, but of more
courage, and less prudence, to rush on
their own ruin. Their conduct is base,
ns it is cowardly.

THE ARSENAL.
Fayetleville, May 26.
We have the pleasure of informing our
readers, that the bill lor the establisTnnent
of an Arsenal of Construction in this town,
has passed the House of Representatives;
and that there is supposed to .be no doubt
of its passing the Senate. This is an im
portant measure to several of the South
ern States, when it is recollected that
lhere is no, suclu establishment from the
Potomac to the Savannah River. Its lo
cation here will be 'a protection against
danger from any quarter : .It. will intro
duce amongst us, a superior class of Me
chanics ; cause the expenditure of a large
'amount of public money here, both in the
erection of the necessary uuuuings, anu
in the support of the establishment ; and
bring into use the Coal of the' Western
counties. We look upon it, apart from
its great national importance, ns likely to
exeicisc an important influence upon the
prosperity and consequence of Fayette
villc; It will make an intinfate connec
linn with her, desirable to all parts of the
State, and of the adjoining States ; ami
will doubtless exercise some influence in
accelerating the construction of Rail
Roads to connect her with them.
We understand that the hill makes an
immediate appropriation of about 840.
000, and that the buildings and site are
estimated to cost g I34;58t. 25 acres of
land will be required ; and the building's
will consist of
2 Arsenals estimated atT20,000 each.
1 Great Magazine, capable of containing' 3000
barrels of powder. J1'2,000.
3 Officers quarters, at $8,000 each.
1 Barracks, at $13,000. -
- 3 Gun carriage sheds, at $3,000 each.
1 Smith's shop, at $3 528-
3 Timber. Sheds, at $2250 each.
1 Office, at $2,430.
1 Carpenter's and Carriage maker's Shop, ?3,

$6,480. .
1 Armorer's shop, $1,890.
1 Tinner's and Cast'ins Shop. $1,260.

each.
1 Laboratory, &c. $3,275.

Walls, graduat ng, &c 8tc. $3,900.
It is not intended, we observe, to man
ufacture small arms or cannon, at the
arsenal ; but gun carriages, and everv
kisid of equipments and accoutrements,
for artillery, infantry, cavalry and rifle
men. A large supply of arms, id" every
description, will of course be deposited

THE HON. EDWARD LIVINGSTON.
The New-York newspapers of yesterday
communicated the mournful and unexpec
ted intelligence of the death of Mr- Living
ston. He expired at Montgomery Place,
his residence, in Duchess county, N. York,
on Monday last, after a sudden and. rapid
illness. Though arrived at the advanced
age of seventy two, the strength of his con
stitution, his activity of mind and body, and
his general health seemed to promise many
more years of life, which, as long as it last
eil, ,vould have been devoted to the exer-
else of private and public usefulness.
The incidents of his career are too well
known to require that brief recapitulation,
which only we should be able to. give in the
columns of a Gazette ; but they are such as
have made his name distinguished," not in
his own country merely, but throughout the
civilized world. More than this ; they have
connected that name with brilliant manifes
tations of public excellence, and the most
endearing and bencvolent instances of pri
vate worth. As a statesman, a lawyer, and
man, his character is radiant with wisdom,
knowledge, philanthropy and virtue ; and
if he has descended to the tomb sooner (as
indeed he has) than the wishes of those who
knew him only as a distinguished citizen,
and the deeep affection of those who fondly
cherished him as a personal frien'd, might
have hoped, he has not gone too soon to
leave behind him a reputation to which lit
tle could have been added, by lengthened
years.
As a statesman, he has connected him
self with the hTStory of his country, at once
by the aid of his personal exertions, and the
ornament of his admirable talents. "While
yet a youth offifteen, at Princeton College,
he was one of a little company who enroll
ed themselves to meet the enemy in the war
ol the revolution, leaving then his duties.
as he left without hesitation, his profession
at a later period, to volunteer his services

yet with a simplicity and modesty as unob
trusive as they were attractive. ' r
, His professional labors were for many
years constant and excessive, yet lucrative
as they were,ne never limited them to his per

of study and reflection, were freely given,

establish, are less known, it is only because
his system of criminal law is so enlightened
sojiumane, so iraugui wiui viva ulc wuh
sacious, blended with an universal bene
votence, that it eclipsed all his other labors
in the field of jurisprudence, and of itself
ranked him with those good men of the same
profession, who, in the language of Bacon,
" transmit the fruit of their"" virtue- to the
ages to.come,,
But as a man, even moTe than as a states
man or a jurist, will the loss of Mr. Living
ston be felt by those who knew him. Ge

it : but it was lightened up 'by that which
charm more than talent or knowledge, a
temper uniformly lively, generous and be

not to diminish the warmth of his affections
and the buoyancy of his spirit. Misfortune
if it came upon him, while it was not unfelt,
was yet met without ciuerulous apprehension
and 'encountered with resolute equanim
ity. In ihc bosom of his family, among
the friends whom he-loved, his simplicity,
his kindness, his consideration, his disinter
estedness, were as endearing as they were
constant and spontaneous, lie -delighted
to dwell among and cultivate the beauties
of nature, as if he had never known the
bustle of politics and the bar. The last days
of his life were passcdamong the same love

from his youth, and where lie returned af

which was indicative of the warmth of his
sensibility and the purity of his heart.

ANOTHER MURDER.
On the 1 4 1 h ult. a horrid murder was
committed, in the neighborhood of Chalk
Level, (Pittsylvania,) by Peter M'Cu I lock
on the body of his wife. A Correspon
dent of the Danville Reporter says:
I hasten to communicate, that early
on Saturday morning last, were found al
the house of Dr. Dillard, in Pittsylvania
county, Peter M'Cullock and his little
daughter, about two years oM, both with
out clothes except ihfir under dresses,
M'Cullock very bloody, with a bloody
razor in his hand: On being interrogated
as to what was the matier, he voluntarily
answered he" had killed his wife the : night
before. The Doctor, confident fro-m his
appearance that he had committed some
dreadful' violence, had him immediately
confined," and in company with another
g-ntletnan, Mr. C. Ward, rode to the
house d" McCullock a distance of 2 miles
anil a scene most shocking to humani
ty presented itself; they found the corpse
of his wife Iving in the yard murdered in
the most savage manner, her throat cut
from car to ear, to the neck bone, am! sev
eral other dreadful wounds inflicted With
live razor and strange to tell, there is no
cause whatever conjectured, unless jeal
ousy. The lady has ever b rne a fair, ir
reproachable character, and Mr. M'Cul
lock heretofore, that of an industrious,
honest man, but suspected for a consider
ably time to be partially deranged, and ol
late very turbulent and dissipated. A
Coroner's inquest was held, and returned
a verdict of wilful murder."

Monday May 23.
Mr. Walker, of Miss, presented thC proceedings
of a meeting in one of the counti'eff of the State of
Mississippi, on the subject of the recognition of the
Independence of Texas. He moved to take up the
subject at oftce.amt with this view, he moveda re
ference of those Proceedings, and certain Resolutions
previously offered by Mr. Morris and other Senators,
to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Walkermado some observations in a very
enthusiastic tone and temper, in favor of immediate
action on the subject.
7 Mr. Morris was in favor of passing on the subject
before we proceeded so far ns to commit ourselves to
any particular line ot policy.
Mr. Preston repeated what he had formerly said
on this subject, as to his delight at the progress of
this struggle for rights and free institutions.
Mr. Webster expressed a wish that this question
would not be pressed unlit we should have official
intelligence of the establishment of a Government in
Texas. Whenever that should take place, he would
be in favor of a recognition , of Texas.. But there
were"thcr important matters connected with the sub
jectwhich must be considered whenever the ques
tion should conic up. ;
Mr Mangum took a somewhat similar view of
the subject, and moved to lay ; the subjVct on the ta
ble. : .
Mr. Calhoun also recommended patience to the
friends of Tcxason the fbor , and moderation to the
Tcxians themselves. -He s:iid that Texas coulJ
never again be subjected to Mexico, and that the
Texians bad Mexico in their power but he repeat
ed his hopes that the advantages in their hands
would be used with wisdom. ; He expressed a hope
that Mr. Walker himself would reflect, and consent
to lay the motion on the (ablc.
Mi. Linn joined in ttiis recommendation.
Mr. Walker replied, " Now's die day and now's
the hour," and made some further observations to
sustain his position, but they , were not so temperate
and judicious as the friends of Texas could have de
sired them to be.
Mr. Calhotlh repented his suggestion that those
who wished well to Tejcas would wait until suffici
ent information should have been received. He ho
ped there would be information which would enable
the United States to recognize the Texas Govern
ment before the rising of the present Congress.
Mr. Mantrum followed, and again urged the im
propriety of any immediate action on the, part of
Congress, because the ellect would be a war A'lin
Mexico, unless Mexico should be restrained by pa
ramount considerations of expediency.
The motion to refer was then agreed to.

according to their population.
Mr. Cushmg, ot Mass. being entitled to me noor,
went at length into aii argument in favor of the
measure proposed. He presented calculations and
estimates in detail, to show, that upon a modeiate
estimate of the income of the country, and taking
the largest amount ot expenditure, which any one
had suggested, as prpbably within the requirements
of the Government or the country, there would re
main at least nine or ten millions unexpended and
unappropriated in the Treasury.
Mr. Hayncs followed in a speech of seme length
upon the same subject, in opposition to the propos
ed distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the
public lauds. 1
