WALKER AGAIN. v ' The Republican Banner and Nashville Whig, of tbe otu lost, gives what appears to be a plausible account of the sitnation of Walker, which is more tavorabio than any lately reported. That paper tays: 'We have seen and conversed with Capt. Hen ry C. Cook, a native cf Sumner county, In this Slato, a ho is attached to the Nicaragtian army who served with distinction under Gun. Ilenning scn during tho siege of Granada, and who was on board the lake steamer, on bis return to the Uni ted States, when it was capt a red by gpeucer. He consequently brings tho very latest authentic and reliable intelligence that has been received from Gen. Walker's aimy. Ho assur'es'us that G-n Walker, when he left, was at the head of not less than one thousand men, with abundance of milita ry stores of every description and plenty of pro visions. Upon being questioned by ns as to the possibility of the General's getting entirely out of provisions he said that was impossible, as the urrounding country afforded a never failing sup ply of good beef. . -K ' Capt. C. hoots at the idea of General Walker's force being either defeated or compelled to cat.it ii late." THE BURDELL MURDER. - This caso has attracted universal attention for some tinio past.

The two Mifcscc Cunningham were then placed in charge of tbe coroner, and a subscription taken up for tbe benefit of the family of Farrell, who is detained as a witness, after which the jury was discharged.

HUGE CHARGE OF TOWDER. A big biatt took place recently at the Holyhead Eog.) Harbor Quarry, by which about 120,000 tons of atono were brought down and broken into masses. The charge, which was in four cham bers, consisted of 160,000 lba. of powder, which was fired by means of a voltaic battery. About 600,000 lbs. of powder are used annually at these qnairies, and 1200 roan are employed. SUCKING DOVES. The Troy (N. Y.) Times says: A young lady n.imed Mary (Davis, who is eighteen years of age, and belongs in this city, has been arrested in Balls ton, charged with tbe seduction of a precocious son of Mr. Henry Clark, of Albany, aged 16 year. The young lady induced tbe boy to elope with her, and they passed as brother and sister. She treated him with the most loving kindness, and footed all the bills at tbe hotel wl.ero they were stopping..

' 'Many, many long years ago, says tbe editor of coat. the New Orleans Crescent, when the writer's youth was in its flush, and when the future was looked upon as but a harbinger of new pleasures and fresher joys, Tilghman M. Tucker was elected Governor of Mississippf.Richard Stand ford Graves, Treasurer, and the whole State ticket ail Demo crats were triumphantly chosen to the posts for which Ihcy had been nominated by tbe dominant party. Graves was a young man of more than ordinary vanity. He was arrogant and presuming, yet when closely pressed, was capable of defending himself plausibly and vigorously. His ambition was of the vaulting description. IIo could not afford to wait, notwithstanding the Democratic party bad advanced blm more rapidly than was usual. The Treasurer's office rather fretted than gratified him, and as long as he remained in of fice, before bis exposure, bis longing gaze was continually fixed upon the Executive chamber iu the other end of the cap! to!. But, there were other aspirants more influential than himself cool, shrewd and cunning, of which qualities be possessed not a particle looking if the same di rection, and they very soon found means to take advantage,of his Indiscretions, follies Or crimes. just as the reader chooses, to mako him a victim. He was declared a defaulter and fled the State, although there are among tbe old citizens who en tertain a suspicion that tbe guiltier parties have never been punished at all. This suspicion was strengthened from the fact that,-, shortly after his flight, Graves roade.a proposition to the Legisla ture to settle all his indebtedness as far as he ould, and to expose the real criminals, provided be was allowed to return to the Suto without be ing subject to a criminal prosecution, and that his proposal was vehemently opposed in high quar ters ,not altogether faultless in public estimation. At au events, the proposition of Graves waa re jected ; and all memory of the defaulter passed out of the minds of men until last summer, when an unsuccessful attempt was made to bring ''blm from. Canada. wbere be bad been residing for ten years, under tbe extradition clause In the Ash- burton treaty. Upon examination before tho ju dicial tribunals in Canada, it was decided that the provisions of that treaty did .not apply to his case, and b was accordingly discharged. Some months ago, Gov. McRae received a let ter from Graves, which, in a special message, be transmitted to the. Legislature on the 26th ult. We append the following portion, and submit that it is really pathetic : !

The Governor sub mits bis proposition to the" Legislature, with the remark that if It meets the approbation of that body, be "shall interpose no objection. ,Tb Ylcksburg Whig thus concludes an article on tbe subject ; We observe that the subject matter haa been referred to a select committee, and we confess that wt shall ba gratified If the Legislature will allow Graves to return to Lis old homo. ' : LOWER SECTION OF THE CITY". ; A night or two since, a daring and murderous outrage was committed upon tho person of Mr. John Henry, residing in Plover. street, between Seventh and Eighth, and Washington and Federal streets. The facts as related to us, are follows Mr. H. had called at the bouse of his attending physician; -after this be passed down Eiebth si, and when near Catharine, he was accosted by two men, one of whom struck bim beneath the ear. Tbe other fellow then came on the other side and struck him a blow in the face, which caused the. blood to fiow freely, and staggered him so that be fell into tbostreet. The rascals then deliberately searched the pockets of Mr. Henry and took from one of them a "pocket book conta4uing eight dollars. This occurred shortly after eleven o'clok. The two highwaymen then lifted Mr. Henry up, ndsHpporting him on cither side, theyIed him to his residence some six squares distance. Mrs. Henry supposing there was no enebcides her husband ' at tbo door, promptly opened it, when sho was horrified at seeing her husband covered with blood and mud; She had n-t long, however, to indulge in any surmises, for the highwaymen entered tho room, and demanded of her if there wero any pistols in the houso. She informed them there was not. Tbey then drew knives and walked deliberately to a bureau, which stands in the f rent parlor, the drawers of which they open ed, and took therefrom a piece of fine cloth, two gold chains, one valued at eighteen, and the oth er at fifteen dollars, two pair of ear rings, a set of silver spoons, 20 in money," two shirts, and a fine The villains, after securing the above des cribed plunder, turned to Mrs. Henry, who stood in tbe room, with a babe in her arms, and demand ed two rings from her finger. She refused to give them up, when one of them took his knife, swearing he would cut her finget off if she did not comply with his reqaest. The poor woman then took off the rings and handed them to tbo scoun drel. At about half-past twelve o'clock, a eentle- man, whose attention was attracted by tbe ciies when several squares off, ran to tho scene. The robbers had, however, fled, nod in passing through to the back door, tbey had a difficulty in opening it. The fellows then scaled the back fence and left. ' - On Saturday morning, a lady who resides in the rear ot the house, saw a man searching for something about the grate of Mr. Henry, and her dog flew at tho fel.'ow. Ho immediately drew a pistol and said he would shoot her if she did not call off tbe dog, which she was glad to do. This fellow, from his description, is one ot the same ruffians that robbed Mr. Henry, and be evidently dropped something iu bis flight. BLACK BURTINO. cw roax, Feb- 17. The .residents of Grand Street en Sunday were gratified by a very singu lar and instructive pageant. It was a military funeral which might have transferred them in imagination, to aocieni Carthage or modern "Hay- tl. The African population alone: Grand street were lining the streets as they awaited thU gor- geons spectacle of colored woo. Not only wen. sables tbo wear; but sables wore the sable hab.li- iuvum; it, was u ne roai in suustance as-welt as ru. The curious spectator, watching this un- wanie : agitation of tbe descendants of Africa. might at length perceive the cause as tbe head of the column appeared, eonsistiog of a company of colored gemruen marching in reversed order and with the butt ends of lb sir muskets tncki-d under their arm pits in tbe old fashioned style which white folks have dropped for a number oi years." ... After this guard of honor came a score of "pus; sons msrehing like tbe invited friends of a tar get company, arm and arm. tbeadiplayed some device or regalia on their bi easts. Theri ramJ, the members of a society with badges, silver stars, 4ms Then a second military company with a vast profusion of officers, wearing enorraons epau lets, and littla boys( colored) bearing flags rolled np and wreathed with crape. Then came the hearse and cofHo, attended by twelve eisantic 'blackamoors, their beads surmounted with tail bearskin caps, their bellies covered w.tb bock skin aprons, and a glltreriog ax blade suppoi ted on the right shoulder ; a number of coaches con cluded the mournful processioa.. : : , Such was, the display, and heartfelt no donbuj waa the grief, bitter the -bereavement, sad the" blow to the relatives and frienos uf tbe deceased. We would not say a syllable-of heartless levity because it wai only one of a different race that has fallen. Death, at all events, levels us all. Bnt we see in this Impotent Imitation of a ridicu lous custom, the folly and burlesque of eocb pro cessions. Tbe grotesque uniforms, the stranga ceremonies, and' the queer performances at tbia grand Ethiopian mi itary funeral, should make the whole thing absurd, It was such a lesson a? a Napoleon tolght take of a Fa untie.

The Wheeling Tmes says that a man named Moses Greer, while repairing the .telegraph wires at Bridgeport on S.iturdayfell from the top of a pole to the ground, alighting upon his head. ' He was very seriously injured, and -doubts were at first entertained as to his recovery. Greer must have an uncommonly hard skull or the ground at Bridgeport ruuht be exceedingly soft and clastic. A SEVRF SENTENCE COMMUTED. The Louisville Democrat of the 11th says: It will be remembered that the four negroes who wero concerned In 'the Briar creek tragedy, some time ago, iu this county, were sentenced to receieve two hundred lashes each.

TOUCHING INCIDENT. - , -A correspondent of the Methodist Protestant, after alluding' to the attacks of the Northern re ligious journals on slavery, relates the following interesting anecdote: Being in Surry county, Va., in the fall of 1S50, I attended a religious meeting held in. an old col onial church; one of the relics of our union with England. After a warm sermon, an invitation was given to seekers of religion to approach the altar of prayer. Among others who availed them selves of this hivitation was a gentleman, I judge, of forty-five years of ae. There me,;n,.,l in , much sympathy felt for hLaby-tboso present, and I judged bim to be a man well thought of in the neighborhood; which I learned was a ;fact. But I was particularly attracted by the manifest sym pathy of an aged negro in the congregation. I judged him to be a man of eighty years; his frame ence aihlectic and erect, was now bent ne nea'b. the accumulated weight of years. I learn ed that the relation of master and slave subsisted between the penitent at the altar and the veepin old mari at his seat; which was near to the endf-careo of wheat, arrived here thSafiemonn door-of the church. The penitent, truly agonized in prayer, and old Jeffrey, for this was the name of tho negro, evidently joined with deep "feeling tbe prayer of the wrestling "mourner. It was not long ere a shout, as from those victorious in bat tle, went up and the walls of the house resound ed with tbe praises of the victor; the wrestler had prevailed, prayer was answered, and the "happy convert was nowhere and now there, embracing friend? and receiving their hearty congratulations. But none in that house were more joyous than old Jeffrey, and raising himself on 'his staff, which gave Jum rupport, he made bis way toward bis hPPy jonng master, (as be called him,) and the mastef at the same time making towards his slave, tliey met about midway of the church and the convert fell on the neck of his eld servant and wept with joy, in tbe isle of the house-of God and in tbe face of the congregation. And words like these were spoken by 'Jeffrey i "Bless God my poor boy, I have been- prayiag for you this long time." . - ' There was no dry eye in that assembly; and the two. master and Slave, were the only objects of attraction for the time.
