WHOLE NUMBER 1344 VOLUiyp.;XI- NUMBER 99. WILMINGTON, N. C., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1856. . a p '' Pill III j I MISCELLANY. INDIAN MURDER IN MINNESOTA. Rumors were flying around our streets ton Saturday, oftrje murder of an Indi an, and of it we Have obtained the fol lowing reliable particulars : It seems that on Saturdayj, the 4th, one of the Sioux Indians cjtlled at the house of Mr. Urannel, a Frenchman, residing on the Minnesota river, -16 miles west of this city, and complained of having lost ia blanket. He had been previously at the house, sympathizing with his loss, Mr. B. and his j wife started into the fields to assist inj finding it. He wan tiered off some hundred yards, when the- treacherous' Indian threw off the garb of his friendship, and commenced a deadly assault Upon Mrs. Brannel, knocking her down, strangling lier, and attempting to violate her person. He held his victim firmly by the throat, but her cries for aid, (though smothered and interrupting, attracted her husband to the spot, who rushed o her protection. At his approach the Indian left his victim, and turned upon Mr. B. with a drawn knife when the Frenchman seized a loaded rifle, and shot his assail ant through the tiead. t The body of the Indian was then) drawn away by Mr. and Mrs. D., andj burried in a deep hole which they covered with brush. They 'considered that an immediate surrender and acknowledgment of the deed would expose them to fin attack of the Indi ans. But the concealment served them no better, for the dead body was dis covered on Monday, and a body of Slioux sent to dispatch Mr. and Mrs. B. who fortunately hearki of the pursuit and fled to this city. They have since left here, and are ijiow with the United States troops at tection. When Fort Suelling for pro fhey passed through this city, on Thursday last, the features oi the woman were frightfully distorted, and the colored narks of her assailant's lingers yet plainly visible upon her throat. j ; The remaining Sioux in that vicinity are desperate,aid have sworn ven gence. They have killed his cattle, deso lated his gardens, and stolen his furni ture, and now threaten to burn his house. They are continually prowling around, the place, in bands of 50 to 75, yel ling, like a se of infuriated :' fiend?, 'blood for blood j!" and declaring if they cannot get him, they will take some of his nearest neighbors; that they will have a white mjati's scalp to dance on before they are content. The neighbors are in constant tkrror, and hardly dare to leave their house s We learn that some of them hve been to St. Paul for protection, and jassi.stance of some kind should be -immediately, rendered; if there is no authority here to reach the case, let the trotps at Fort Suelling be summoned without delay for the de fence of thesf, settlers,, who are entirely innocent of any wrong, and who may at any moment become the victims of a barbarous reven St. Paul Times. A KENTUCKY JUDGE. They must have Judges in Kentucky who "say what they think," and that' too without regsrd to elegance of style, or good English.) Judge Mitta', in his re cent charge to the Grand Jury of Boone county, let himsfelf off in relation to the practice ot try inj concealed weapons in the following mjanner "Now, I think I am safe in saying that one man in twen ty has a six shoqter in his breeches pock et or a bowie kriife in his breast, and if you aint careful you will come in con- tart with some these travelling bf these young gentry, arsenals asl call them. They make it a of law to throw I point to learn enough you, in the wrong; you will then see them brace themselves against a wall, and when they think in the eves of the law themselves safe they blaze away. I want you to get right after these! fellows." A DUEL IH TEXAS SOUTIIERX CHIVALRY. YYm. Autrpv.l known as "Dock Au trey," and Wrnj. Carson fought a duel eight miles beloV Segnin, last Saturday. They used double .barrel shot guns and commenced at a hundred and twenty paces apart, and continued advancing and firing until j within six or eight .feet when Carson was shot through with six shooter ball and died in two hours. Autrey was not hurt, but some buck shot struck himj -upon the first fire, too much spent to do any injury, and a pis tol shot passed) through his vest and shirt just missing the skin. Autrey im mediately left, and was pursued by the Sheriff of Guadalupe county, and over taken sixty , railes from Seguin and brought back. ;We understand that sev eral others are I implicated as seconds. Austin State Times, Oct. 11. SIMEON AND WESLEY. The following jeearrerrcs is narrated by Dobbin, in reference to an interview be tween Simeon and John Wesley : "Three or four years after Simeon, whose name bas since become sacred in the an nals of the Church of Christ, was ordained, this young minister had an opportunity of conversing with the founder of Arminian Methodism; wishing to improve the oppor tunity to the utmost, be began to question mm mus : . "Sir, I uoderstind you are called an Ar minian: now I jam sometimes called a Calvinist, and therefore, I suppose, we are to draw daggers Bat, before we begin to combat, with : your permission, I will ask you a few questions, not from impertinent curiositj, but for real instruction. Pray, sir, eo you feel yourself a depraved crea ture so depraved that you would never have thought of turning unto God if God had not put it into your heart?" "Yes," said the veteran, "I do, indeed." "And do you utterly despair of recom mending yourself to God by anything that you can do, and look for salvation solely through the blood and righteousness of Christ" "Yes, solely through Christ" i"But, sir, supposing you were first saved by Christ, are you not some how or other to save yourself afterwards, by your good vorks? ;No-; I must be saved by Christ from first tolast?' .'Allowing, then, that you were first turn ed by the grace of God, are you not in some way or other, to keep yourself by your own power?" No" - . "What, then; are you to be upheld eve ry hour and every moment by God, as much as an infant in its mother's arras ?" ; "Yes ; altogether." I "And i all your hope in the grace and mercy of God to preserve you unto his heaverly kingdom ?" i " Yaa ; I have no hope but in him." "Then, sir, with your leave, I will put up my dagger again ; for this is my Cal v.Tiianj ; this is my election, my jusrifica .'ion, my final perseverance. It is, in sub stance, what I hold it ; and therefore, if you please, instead of searching out terms and phrases to be a ground of contention between us, we will cordially unite in those things wherein we agree." HUMORS OF 'A FALCONBRIDGE." This is the title of a small pamphlet from T. B. Peterson, Philadelphia, worthy a perusal by such as would like a little fun to salt a dinner or a leisure hour with. We have room for one extract, the contents being mostly in the shape of funny stories. The following is a conversation between a market man who hates umangled English" and a customer who seems to have a pen chant to the opposite by way of abbrevia tion. The point is not brilliant but quite a hit "What's eggs, this morning?" says, the customer. "Eggs, of course," says the dealer. ul mean how do they go?" "Go? go where 2" "Sho !'' says the customer, getting up bis fury "what for eggs?" i "Money, money, sir ! or good endorsed credit !" says the dealer. "Don't you understand the English lan guage, sir?" says the customer. "Not as you mix it and mangle it, 1 don't," responded the egg merchant. " What is the price per dozen for your eggs?' Ah now you talk," says the dealer "Sixteen cents per dozen is the price, sir !" They traded PERFORATED POSTAGE STAMPS. In reply to a paragraph in the Jour nal, complaining that postage stamps could not be seperated except by a knife or scissors, Mr. E. W. Hadley, of Chica go has sent us a-specimen of stamps, peiforated by a machine of his invention. The stamps thus prepared can be sepa rated by the fingers. The English stamps are prepared in this manner, but by what process we do not know. Mr. Hadley says that his machine will per forate two sheets a minute, and can easily be made to perforate four. He expects that the government will adopt it. "STOP MY PAPER," . A country editor says he has recsived the following "stop my paper." "Dear Sir. I have looked carefully over your paper for six months for the doath of some indi vidual that I was acquainted with; but as yet note single soul I care anything a bout has dropped off; you will please have my name erased." v HORRIBLE DEATH ANOTHER BURNING FLUID ACCIDENT. Mrs. Miranda Hazard, a native of New York, 5 1 years of age, died Tuesday at her residence, in New York, from the ef fects of burns received on Thursday last, from the explosion of a can of burning fluid. It appears that she was engaged in fillling a lamp from a can containing the fluid, when the fumes took fire from a candle which she placed too near, and an instant explosion was the result. In a moment her ciothes were in a blaze, and she scream ed for help. Her son came to her assist ance, but before the fare could be extin guished his mother was fatally burned. A BIG DINNER. . The Czar of all the Russians, as part of the eeremonies of his coronation, gave a dinner, at the gates of Moscow ta 200,000 peasants. The following was the bill of fare on the occasion : "246 sheep roasted whole ; 480 tarts ; 28.800 litres of broth ; 480 dishes of jelly ; 7,200 fowls; 1.000 turkeys ; 1,000 ducks; 24,000 loaves of white bread ; 6,600 loaves brown bread ; 9,600 hams ; 46,000 apples; 46,000 pears ; 46,000 plums, 4,000 pails of red wine. At the bead of every table there was a sheep roasted whole, the horns gilt, and the nose lipped with silver. All the fruits were bung upon Cbislmas trees." i ACCIDENT. I A lad named Wilson Ramsey was kil led on the. Marietta and Cincinnati Rail road, at Frankfort, eigbtwn miles from Chillicoihe, Ohio, a few nights ago, by a collision of the trains. The damages to the cars, engine. &c, amount to $10 000 , SOAP AND CANDLES.

In if suing a Prospectus to ask subscription to the CoMMKBcaL, the subscriber feels it a duty to define bis pottiiioD, so ss to leave do doubt upon the minds of his patrons as to the principles bis pa per will MiHiain. Id the mutations of past years the Editor has had one paramount principle before bins. SOUTH ERN RIGHTS, under the Constitution, have been the aim and object of all his efforts. Several rears ago. we Inserted in oar Prospectus the fol lowing words: 'Tas Commkrcul is model of political independence; Devert lieles. South eun Rights will always supersede the churns of exert) ttartu of event name." From this avowal it was not difficult to judge what would le our course wnetj toe boar arrived that should place tbose rights within a tangible Mine. The Message of onr great and good President Pikbck. in which be asserted the rights of the South under the Constitution, contained the pre cise doctrine that The Commercial had advocated for many years, and the Cincinnati Convention having sustained that doctrine, we foood ia tlie GREAT NATlUflAli ViSMUUKAllV f A til I, those with whom we could conscientiously act nnder the influence or our judgment and the im pulse of oar heart. The principles avowed in the Cincinnati Platform, will be sustained now and so lone as are remain-In public life. We believe Buchanan and Bbeccenridge will be the honest and faithful exponents of the prin ciples to which we adhere, and oa which the safety and happiness of tbe South depend. Pure in private character, honest in public lire and of unimpeachable patriotism, their election can alone preserve this Union from ruin and disas ter. . Those who have heretofore read oar paper, know that we have long desired to meet tbe pres ent hour, when the 8onih will demand her rights without stint or compromise, and see bow many of tbe National Democrats of tbe Free States will sustain ber just pretensions,' Enough will be found, we hope and believe, to bear our Banner through the "battle and tbe breexe." aod assist us to trans! a It oa tbe ramparts of tbe Constitu tion. - ; lrsttict attention paid to reports of Markets, domestic and foreign.

PROSPECTUS OF THE " S0UT0ERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Miscellaneous Journal, lo be publish d weekly, at Wilson, JY. C. THE existing condition of political parties, snd of psrtizan strife, naturally suggests the estsb lihingof such a journal as the "Southern Senti nel' pro pose j to become. The present, Indeed, is a crisis in our political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has been invaded ; the laws trampled and spat opont religloualiberty assailed ; ballot boxes broken and burnt; the landmarks of our political sncesiry partially effaced; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; strange and questionable men have been puthed mo high positions; and fanaticit-m, unchai ned from its axe and its faggot piles in the North, is heard to howl among us in the South. These evils, so far as it humble abilitica shall serve, ..THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to Incul cates reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men of the past and by the Fathers of the Democratic faith. It will defend not only political but beligious liberty, and will do battle apainst ev ery political heresy that may appear, whether hatched m caves or culverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space tolitersry topics, orlsina I and selected, as well as to miscellaneous subjects, which shallinclude Agricultural and the latest Com mercinlintelligence. In brief, no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one of the most useful and efficient journals in the South. The first number of the Sentirrel will be issued about the first of the next month, and sent to sub scribers at tho rote of $2 per annum: S2 60 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the rear. Discount made in oehalf of clubs, who shall take five, ten or more copies. J. F. KEENAN, Editor. Jan. 17. 130-3t PROSPECTUS OF THE PLYMOUTH BANNER.

A BOOK FOR EVERY SOUTHERN METHODIST Early in 1856, probably in the month of Febru ary, I expect to publish a new work to the panic-, ularfeatures of which I beg leave to call your at- lemiun. . s The Annals of Southern Methodism,for 185 win oe a it mo. volume of not less than MD pages well printed, from stereotype plates, upon good paper. It will contain all available statistics in every department of the operations of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. SOUTH. The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal visi tation; accounts of the seesiona of all the Confer ences held in 1355, the appointments, numbers, Ac; a summary of all reported revivals, notices of the dedication of new Churches; reports of College Commencements, with all else connected with our educational movements; a resume of our Mission' arv oners tions. embracing whatever seems of ane- ral Interest in that department; the movements of me tract ana Sunday Srnool societies; wnatever appertaina to our publishing interests, with an nouncements of all New Bcoka published by our Concern, or written by Southern Methodists ; what the Church is doing for the instruction of Slaves Historical and Biographical Esaays; interesting personal reminiscences; and a miscellany of im portant facts and incidents. THE "ANNALS." It isbelieved, will be a fair and full daguerreotype ot the progress of Southern Methodism. It will occur to you at once, that if I have suc ceeded in preparing this volume with any reasona ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agree able book for present reading, but that every year will add to its value as showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture of its history. THIS DIGEST Will be specially valuable aaa Book of reference.
