Death of Jh Richardson.
When we alluded to tho assassination of
this widely-known and talented geutlemnn
last week, our feelings ot indignation ana
horror towards the assassin, aud towards
that morbid philanthropy as we esteem
it which permits such murderers to es
cape the Ikaven-declarcd punishment for j
their sin, may have conveyed the impres
sion of unkind feelings towards the mur
dered man, or toward the journal of whoso
editorial staff ho was an honored member.
Nothing could have been further from our
iutention. 'A'e differ from that journal
upon the subject of the death penalty for
murderers, and thought tho assassination
of Mr. Richardson would be a severe trial
of their philosophy, , t Wo gladly give
place to the following, written by one who
knmvs the merits of the case of the la
mented man whose sad fate we record.
But alas! for his hopes ; Mr. Richardson
died on Thurday last :
"On Thursday last, at 5 o'clock, p. m.,
Mr. Albert D. Richardson, tho widely-
known journalist and author, was shot in
the Tribune publication-room by Dan'tl
McFarland. The ball entered his right
side, passed through the stomach, and
lodged in the fleshy part of the back,
making a very ugly ahd dangerous wound,
which it was at first thought must inevita
bly prove fatal j but we aro glad to say
that, at the presont moment (Tuesday
noon), there is good ground for hope that
he will recover. McFarland seeks to
justify the murderous deed by the allegu
tion that Mr. Richardson was improperly
intimate with his wife, and that he enticed
her to leave him. Our own acquaintance
with the circumstances enables us to give
the most emphatic denial to this ulloga
tion, as well as to every rumor affecting
unfavorably the- reputation either of Mrs,
McFarlandor Mr. Richardson. J. lie sim
ple truth is that Mrs. McFarland left her
husband in tho Spring of 1807, entirely
without Mr. Richardson's instigation, be
cause sho could not longer endure his bru
tality. We do not enter into particulars,
but leave them to bo investigated by the
court which will try McFarland for his
crime. If it was a sin for a man to be
friend a noblewoman struggling for bread
for herself and children under such pain
ful circurstances, and to offer to marry
her when it should be legal to so do, theu to
that extent is Mr. Richardson a s nner,
but no further. Soon after the separation,
Mr. Richardsun was walking in tho street
with Mrs. MuFarlaud, late ut night, when
Mr. McFarland approached from behind,
and, no doubt, intending to kill hun, sent
a ballet through his thigh. Mr. Richard
son refrained from prosecuting the mad
man, hoping that such generous forbear
ance would tend tfl ullay his malignity.
l'his hope, however, proved delusive. Mc
Farland, after nursing his feelings of re
venge for two years and a half, lias again
attempted in tho most cowardly manner
to take the life of Mr. Richardson. He
followed him, it seems, for days and weeks,
watching for an opportunity to fire upon
him by stealth, till at last such an oppor
(unity was found at tho place aud time
above mentioned. ' The assassin is new in
the Tombs awaiting tho judgment of the
law upon his crime. Mrs. McFarland,
who lately obtaiued a divorce in Indiana,
(her father and an eminent lady of this
city appearing as witnesses on her behalf),
has resumed her maiden name, and is
now, with hor mother, watching anxiously
at the bedside of tho man who, it is hoped,
will live to become her husband, one is
a woman of spotless purity pf character,
and of high literary attainments, and,
since she left her brutal husbaud, has sup
ported herself and one of her children
(the other being under the control of the
unhappy father) by her pen. Mr. Rich-
Ordson may have been imprudent iu avow.
Ing his lovo for her bo soon after her ir
revocable separation from the husband
who had made her life one of almost un
ondurable wretohodncps; ,but it was an
imprudunco which no generous mind can
regard as a stain,; His conduct from first
to last, us in duo timo will be abundantly
demonstrated, hag . been that of a high
fonod, honorable man. If Panicl McFar
laud could even prove all , his accusations
Hgumst his former wife and Mr. Richard
son to bo true, he would not thereby ex
cuse, still less justify himself for, taking
the ' law into his own .bauds; but,, those
accusations being false, ho mist bo regard'
cd simply as murderer, , and should be
dealt with accordingly. It is not compati
ble with .the safety of society to permit
men to escape tho penalty of their crimes.
Whatever symputhy it may bo allowable
to feel for a bloody .minded man whose
wife flees from his arms, R is certainly
asking too much to plead that lit may
with impunity seek the life of the man
who befriends her in her flight from a
wretchedness sho could not endure."

Lake Superior copper region, dated Nov.
10, says winter bus set in with great se
verity. "Mud Lake" was frown over,
tlio ice being from four to eight inches
thick, and several vessels' will have to
winter there. ' The1 weather this season
has no precedent in the knowledge of the
oldest suitor." Tho storra of the 17th and
18th ult., had no parallel on record. It
dismasted vessels in an instant. " Some
foundered, and many were driven ashore
and became total wrocks. ' In two instan
ces propellers were driven ashore with
full steam on and both anchors out, ; Ono
new propeller foundered.' Captains re
port that some of their men were stupid
and confounded, being impressed appar
ently with the idn.i if they attempted to
change their positions they would be blown
overboard, it Is calculated that noarly
1000 tons of copper, which was cxpcrited
