V , 1 4 WILMINGTON, N.C, SATURDAY MORNING; AUGUST 4, 1855. WHOLE NUMBER 1163 Ar-OLUME X NUMBER 61 . i i ii r i it I hi v v, r MISCELLANY. Interview of Mra,'E. O. Smith with, the . 'VelIed Murderess." A few days ago, 'Mrs. E. Oakes Smith proceeded on a Woman's Rights mission to Troy, to the 'Veiled Murderess, who had very Iare ntitldns of Woman's Rights, in a rather promiscuous concubinage, and who, at last, exercised the largest liberty bf poisoning the last man she lived with, knd whbse sentence of death therefor the Uoveirnor of New York has now commu ted to imprisonment for life. We quote from a long account or their interview the following: Mrs. Oakes Smith. 'I have come to see youand to help to save you from the final penalty, nd in that case yon would be , willing to live.' ; Mrs. 'Veiled Murderess.' 'No, no; I want to go home to my God; I am prepared for death now. The mode is nothing to the E how that I am at peace with God. He is more merciful than men. He will forgive me and allow my death to atone for my evil life. No, I want to die, and 1 long for the day to come. My dress is all ready very decent it is. I shall be carted out her fingers were touching the side of her heck and die. No one will see my face. I shall be very still; and my Saviour lift ing her eyes will pity me.' Mrs. Oakes Smith. 'But if you goto prison or an hospital and preserve this frame of mind, you can do good to others, you can teach the ignorant, and comfort the suffering, and take care of the sick and dy ing.' - -.- Mrs. 'Veiled Murderess.' 'I don't know I don't know; it is better for me to die; I might live thirty years in a prison; death seems1 better. Ob, I am so sick of the world. Look here, please, my poor hus band, and - do not know where I am they know nothing of all thi3.- My father ' and mother are both dead, I have conceal ed my family name; while I live people are furious to know about me when I am dead all will die with me. I have promis ed my brother to be very still; to die with out betraying, anything, and when I am gone I shall cease to worry and distress my family. " Here I am shut out from the world, of no use in it, sick of It. Oh, let ine go home to my God.' . Mrs. Oakes Smith. 'If you" are execu ted you will be the last woman who will endure the penalty in our country. It will . raise a storm of indignant protest which will compel our rulers to annul the statute at least where a woman is to be the vic tim.' (She smiled in a very sweet, heaven- ly manner ) , Mrs. 'Veiled Murderess.' 'Then 1 shall v do some good in my death. Is not God very good if He will permit a sinful crea ture like me not only to atone for my wick ed life by this violent death, but nay even allow some good to grow out of it Mrs. Oakes smith. 'You are a Roman Catholic r Mrs. 'Veiled Murderess.' 'I am now. And since I have had some one to talk to me to tell me truly about myself and my duty to God I airi a great deal happier. The Sisters of Charity ctime and talk to me very kindly; they tell me not to wish to live, but to take God's mode of drawing me back, to himself, patiently arid willingly.' Mrs. Oakes Smith's Continent. There was a manly courage and good sense in this forlorn desire for death. Removing the veiL Mrs. Oake3 Smith. 'Are you willing to remove your veil V . Mrs. Veiled Murderess. 'Oh yes for you, but I do not like to have strangers come and stare at me. On my trial I felt 1 could not; I could not be looked at. It seemed to me I should make other women ashamed.' Mrs. Smith's Comments. She then laid aside her veil and showed me her hair be ginning to fall off, and her head much too large for the vital region except the lungs. She smiled like a child when 1 put my hand upon her temples and expressed my sympathy for the grief she must have en dured, and the trials which would disturb and madden such an organization. Here she wept Mrs. Oakes Smith 'Will you tell me lrly whether you are guilty of the crime for which you are condemned 1 What you may say shall not harm you in the least' Her eyes assumed a wild expression. Unveiled Murderess.- 'No,. I am not guilty. Now, these enemies who accuse me know that' I am not guilty that I nev--er dreamed of poisoning my friends. I don't know about it. She began to talk wildly. I bad been sick I had been sick I was mad for awhile, because gave me something that took away my senses. I try to think over a great many things that happened, and I can't under stand them. I can't tell exactly how I got here. I know I'm a wicked woman, but I did not do that 1 am the victim of a con spiracy. A political party wished to crush John C. Mather and Myron H. Clark, and so they took me. They could do it, you know I, a poor woman.' Mrs. Smith. 'You have confessed every- thing to your priest?' , ' i Mrs. Murderess. 'Oh, yes, and he knows t'm innocent; but he tells rue it is better for toe to die, arid so I will die l Mrs. Smith 'Where you happily mar ried? - Are you willing to let me know all about your early life?' Mrs. Murderess. 'Oh f yes, 1 was mar ried very young, and to a man I could not love. lie was a good man, but I did not love him, and my first sin was in deserting my family. Mrs. Smith suppressed here Mrs. Smith on her Phrenology and Phy siognomy.' Phrenologically her brain is low above, the ears, and her coarse black hair grows down upon the" forehead even lower than that upon the bust of the cele brated antique of Clite. She has two 'pro- jectioc3 in the region of what is called Con structivenes, extending backward, which of themselves would be sufficient to throw the whole character out of balance. When you add to this brain, a refined, lady-like form, round and compact, with a tempera ment of the highest and most excitable kind, it will easily be seen that education might, retard and modify her destiny, but would hardly Jserve to re-create her into a reliable or very safe character. - She evidently is possessed of a remarka bly healthful organization, capable of great endurance, and indicating Idngevity. Her eyes have a look of force and vitality, and when not excited by an insane mood are really fine. She is perhaps thirty, and though an idealist would never call' her beautiful, she is quite perfect in kind, and the vulgar mind wouli call her handsome.' The N. Y. Commercial well says: We protest that if such morbid sympa thy is to be shown towards a murderess, if moral responsibilities are to be overslaugh ed by phrenologically developed destiny, without a word of rebuke or a line of anti dote, a sad and bitter future of infidelity, anarchy and crime is before us, the contem plation of which must make the most hope ful despair and the most confident quail and shudder.' f MYSTERY OFIEMORY. There is, moreover, proof of a very decisive character; that no experiences of which the mind takes the slightest cognizance, irom earliest imancy to the most extreme old age, ever become ob literated from the eternal structure of the soul, however impossible it may be to recall some of those experiences during our ordinary states of body and mind. This proposition, which is rendered ex tremely probable by an interior contem plation of the conscious nature of the soul, is confirmed and establ.sned by the numerous instances which might be cited, in which all the experience of a whole life, however miuute or long for gotten, have been suddenly and almost simultaneously revived by some acci dent or other occurrence which brought soul and body to the brink of a total sep aration. A factof this kind, which can not be otherwise than intensely interesting to the psychologist, ws not long since published in the Rome (N. Y.) Daily Sentinel,' whose editor vouches for its truth. It is to the e&ect, that several years ago, A held a bond against B for several hundred doflais, having some time to run. When the bond came due, A made diligent search for it among his papers, but is was not to be found. Knowing to a certainty that the bond had not been paid or otherwise legally disposed of; A concluded to frankly in form his neighbor. B of its loss, and to rely upon his sense ofjustice for its pay ment. But to his surprise, when he in formed him of the loss, B denied ever having given him such a bond and strongly intimated a fraudlent design on his part, in asserting that such a trans action had taken place between them. Being unable to prove his claim; A was compelled to submit to the loss of the debt, and also to the charge of dishon orable intentions in urging the demand. Years passed away, and the affair al most ceased to be thought of, when, one day while A was bathing in Charles River, he was seized with cramp, and came near drowning. After sinking and rising several times, he was seized by a friend and drawn to the shore, and carried home apparently lifeless. By the applicaiion of the usual remedies, however, he was restored ; and as soon as he gained sufficient strength, he went to his book-case, took out a book, and from between its leaves took out the id en tical bond, which had so long been mis sing. He then stated that while drown ing, and sinking as he supposed to rise no more, there suddenly stood out be fore him, as it were in a picture, every act of his life, from his child-hood to the moment that he sank beneath the wa ters, and that among other acts was that of his placing that bond in a book and laying it away in his book-case: Arm ed with the long-lost document, found in this marvelous manner, the gentle man recovered his debt with interest.

Those vho vUh to 6 speedily and effectually cured, thould shun the numer ous trifling imposters, who only ruin their health,' and apply to Dr. Johnaton. DR. JOHNSTON. . , Member of the Rjyal College of Surgeons, London graduate.fromone of the most eminent Colleges of the United States, and the greater part of whose, life haa been spent in the Hospitals of London, Par is, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has efiected some of the most astonishing cures that, were e ver V no wni Many troubled with ringing In the ears and head when asleep, great nervousnsss, being alarmed sudden sounds, and bashfulnese. with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE. , , When the misguided and Imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed, the seeds of hia painful disease, It too often happens that sn ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from educstlort and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay, ing till the conrtf..utlonalsysmptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased noes; hoc.tursl pains in the, head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, progress on with frightful ra pidity, till at last the palate of the moufh jor th bones of the nose (ail in. and the. yicjim, cf i awful disease becomes a horrid object of co aeration, till death puts a period to his dread: - ferings, by sending him to "that bourne ; i whence no traveller returns." To such there, t , Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable secreyi and, from his extensive prac tice in tbe first Hospttalsin Europe and America, he can confidently recommend a safe and speedy, cure to the unfortunate victim Of this horrid diui esse. It is a melancholy fact., that thousands fall victims to tbis dresdful disease, owing to the un skilfulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the use. of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and either aend the unfortunate sufferer to sn untimely grave, or else make the residue of life mis erable. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who hsve Injured them selves by private and improper indulgence.

DR. JOHNSTON'S INVIGORATING REME DY FOR ORGANIC WEAKNESS, . - By this great and important remedy weakness of the organa is speedily cured snd full vigor restored. Thousands of the most Nervous and Debilitated individuals who had lost all hope, hsve been imme diately relieved. All impediments to MARRIAGE. Physical or Mental Disqualifications, Nervous Ir ritability Tremblings snd Weakness, or exhaustion nf the most fearful kind, speedily eured by Dr Johnston. Young men who have Injured themselves by a certain practice indulged in when alone a habit frrcpiently losrned from evil cornpanions, of at school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impossible. snd destroys both mind and body. , What a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, and the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects snd enjoyments of Jife, by the consequences of deviating from the path of nature, and indulging in a certain secret habit. Suc persons, before contemplating ' MARX1AGE, . . Should reflect that a sound mind snd body sre the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happinesa. Indeed, without these, the journey through life becomes a wear pilgrimage: the pros pect hourly dsrkensto the view; the mind beccmrs shadowed with despair and filled with the melan choly reflection (hat the happiness of another be comes blighted with our own'. . , OFFICE NO. 7 SOUTH FREDERICK-ST.,' ..
