Tragedy at St. Louis.—Two young men,
named Montesqui, and representing themselves to
he French Counts, on a huffing excursion to the
West, arrived a few days sinde and put up at Bar
num’s Hotel, in St. Louis, Mo. On the 29th ult.,
about 11 o’clock, as young Mr. Barnum, a nephew
of the proprietor of the Motel, was proceeding to his
room, one of the Frenchmen fired at him. unexpcct
edly, and the ball passed entirely through his body.
Albert Jones who lodged in an adjoining room, ran
out on hearing the report of the pistol, and was shot
through the head by the same |»erson and died im
mediately. Two gentlemen, who had by this lime
reached the gallery, wero struck with buckshot.—
Mr. H. M. Henderson was wounded in the fore
head, and Mr. W. II. Hubble in the arm.
The assassin was immediately pursued to his
rcbm, where, after a severe struggle, he was arrest
ed. He is the younger of tho two brothers. No
cause lias been assigned lor the commission of the
horrible deed. Both the gentlemen were arrested,
: and affected to be insane.
The trunks of the assassins were opened the ne\t
’ evening, and letters found in ilium proving them to
be Parisians of wealth and family. Splendid equip
ments and $1,500 in German gold coin were found
in their trunks. The brothers are evidently insane.
They both fired fatal shots. They have refused the
services of counsel, and say that they will plead
their own cause, and that their crimes were justi
fied by the order of God.
So intense was the popular excitement that the
Mayor ordered out a large police force to protect tho
jail.
A despatch from St. Louis on the 2nd inst., states
that the assassins have been removed to Jefferson
Barracks for safe keeping and iheir oWn personal
safety. The excitement in reference to them is a
baling.
The New Haytien Nobii.ity.—All the secre
taries. commissaries, gendarmes, and espions of the
late President Soulouque, now “Kaustin the First
of the Hay lien Empiie,” have found themselves
suddenly transformed into so many illustrious limits
of nobility. The official decree showers upon va
rious persons a superabundance of lilies. The Min
ister of War nod Marine is made Duke of Tiburon,
Grand Marshall of the Empire. Giand Cross of the
Imperial and Military orders of St. Faustin, and
Grand Cordon of the Imperial Order of the Legion
of Honor. Four persons figure as their Serene
Highnesses the Princes of tho Empire, and fifty
nine with the title of llis Grace are made Dukes.
There are comparatively few of the peoplo that
apply themselves to work for a subsistence, the |
■great majority preferring to beg or steal enough to
keep body and soul together. Some of the happy
recipients of patents of nobility are said to be guilt
less of a whole pair of pantaloons, orany appearance
of a shirt to their backs.
I Mr. Bontsco.—An idle story has get into circu
lation, tn the effect that Mr Bodisco, the Esteemed
Minister of llussia, (now on a visit of leave to his ,
own country.) having incurred the displeasure of
liis Sovereign, has been banished to Siberia. The
story, it appears, went from litis city in a letter to
‘the New York Courier, and was thought by our
correspondent of sufficient consequence to be tele
graphed to tis the night before last; but wo thought
it a Iteax, and did not publish it. Wo can now
state, in contradiction of the story, that letters were
received by Mr. Bodisco’s family by the last steam
er, dated St. Petersburg!! as late as tiro begin Ring of
October, and informing them that he would return
'to the U. States early in the Spring.—J\al. hit.
Illinois Senator.—We learn by Telegraph
that Gen. James Shields who is now eligible to the
office, has been again elected a United States Sen
atpr by the Legislature of the Slate of Illinois. The
election took place on Saturday last, and resulted
in 72 votes for Gen. Shields and 21 for Cyrus Ed
wards. Tliqre appears to have been a warm con
test between Messrs. Shields and llreese in the
Democratic caucus, which nominated the former
on i lie twenty first ballot by a majority of four votes.
—J\ut. hit.
Mr. G doinqs.—During the recent election cam
paign in Ohio, this gentleman did not hesitate open
ly to advocate the election of Locofoco candidates
for the Legislature in preference to Whigs. The
Ohio State Journal states that in all his public ad
dresses be did not fail to assault the Whig party to
denounce its men, misrepresent its doctrines and
i ^position. It is well that he has so thoroughly de
fined his position. lie can hover.no longer as a
epy upon the outskirts of the Whig party.—lloch.

A guerrilla company of thirty American adven
turers, employed by the Mexican State of Dunrago
against the Apache Indians, on the 3d September
encountered and put to flight a body of from two to
three hundred of thoso formidable savages at a place
called Talaveras, distant one league from Papasqui
are. The fight, as such fights must ever be, was
of a sanguinary description. The Apachts lost a
large number of their chiefs and warriors in killed
and prisoners, while the guarillas had but one killed
and eight wounded.
CO-The declaration of independence was read for
'the first time to the people of Philadelphia, in inde
pendence Spun re from the Stale house window, by
Col. John Nixon, an active soldier, the son of Rob
ert Nixon, of Wexford Ireland. Charles Thomp
son, an Irishman, prepared the Declaration for pub
lication. Maj. John Dunlap, an Irishman fom Ty
'rone a printer, and the publisher of the first daily
'paper in the United States, printed and publish
ed it.
The PitF.ss.—Give me, said Sheridan in one of
his speeches, hut the freedom of the press, and you
may have corrupt Kings, Ministers and Statesmen,
yet will the liberties of the ) cople be secured. Those
who conduct a newspaper, should not abuse this
tpower, nor lorget the respect due to all, as men and
citizens. He should grant to them in whatever ca
pacity, all that he himself would require, and noth
ing more can be demanded.
> A Soldier s Death.— Lieut. Col. Dickenson,
of the Palmetto Regiment, being wounded at the
storming of Churubusco, was left in the hospital at
Miscoac where he died. The Buffalo Courier says
that in the delirium of fever he heard a drum beat
the reveille at early morn. Raising himself with
an effort, he looked calmly toward the window,and
said in his deep tones of command, “Battalion halt!
xirder arms! rest I” and falling hack, he'expired.
CO-The annals of horse-racing have never pre
sented a more singular circumstance than the chal
| »enge which the London Jockey Club has received
I through the medium of the English Consul Gener
alin Egypt, from the Pacha to run a match for

-club to send os many horses, and to put up where
they please.

Latest from Europe.—Tho Hibernia arrived
it Halifax, on the 2nd inst, but brought little news

Russia would pocket the affront offered by the Porte
rathor than provoke a collision with Prance and

OBITUARY.
DIED, on tlic 2nd inst., at liis residence in this place,
after a short illness, Mr. John Kennedy, aged about
65 years.
DIED, at his residence on the Calf Pasture, near
Deerfield, Va., on Wednesday the 26th of September
last, Mr John Clayton, in the fSth year of his age.
Mr. C. was for many year, a consistent and zealous mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church of Rocky Spring, and
constantly attended on every Wednesday evening, a
piayer meeting at a School-house, near his residence.—
Although few attended some limes, ho was always one
of that few—believing in the promise that where two or
three meet together in the name of that Saviour whom
lie loved, he would bless them, lie lived to see all his
children (seven.) one after the other connecting them
selves to the same Church to which he belonged, but
the youngest, and she did on the same week that her Fa
ther died. It would not be saying too much to say that
there is net a more correct man living than lie was even
previous to his connexion with the Church, in all his
transactions with his fellow-men. Mr. C. had been
wasting away in flesh for some ten or twelve months pre
viotis to his death, yet never said that he was sick or
had any pain. A few days before his death, he had an
attack of paralysis which deprived him of Ins speech._
In that situation he pointed out to his friends, a-i expres
■ sivc of his feelings, the Ilymn commencing “I would not
| live always, I ask not to stay.” Mr. C. is a great loss
| to his family and friends and to the Church of which be
, was a member. But we believe that what is their loss
is his everlasting gain. J. S.'G.
! DIED, ou Tuesday morning the 30th ult., in Mt. .So
lon, after an illness of about 24 hours, Hannah Corne
lia, infant daughter and only surviving child of Reuben
and Caroline Bryan, aged 5 months and 24 days.
Though our young branches arc torn away,
Like wither’d trunks we stand ;
With fairer verdure they shall bloom,
Touch’d by'tho Almighty’s hand.
Transient and vain is every hope,
A rising race cun give ;
But in endless honor and delight,
Our children both do live.—Comm.
DIED, on the 15th of October, in the 4 tth year of her
age, .Mrs Elizabeth Davis, consort of Mr. Braxton
Davis, of this County.
The deceased was a consistent and highly esteemed
member of the Presbyterian Church, in the communion
of which she had lived for more than 21* years, main
taining throughout this period a wail: which gave most
satisfying evidence of sincere and genuine piety. Her
sickness was painful and protracted*. At times her mind
as well as her body was prostrated by it, yet her faith
! failed not,and her patience endured to the end. “Blcss
; ed arc the dead who die in the Ja>rd.” '’Gcal shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,neither shall
there be r.ny more pain.”
To her family her death is a heavy lore—the lore of a
pious wife and a pious mother. Hut let them make God
their refuge—Ho will not forsake the orphan children of
the pious mother.—Oomm.
Dl ED, on the 27 th of Oct., at her residence r.ea'r Derr
held, Augusta County, Va.. .Mrs. Ann I.anoe, wife of
Mr. Abraham Lange, in the 42nd year of her age.—
Lange was a loving and obedient wife, a tender
and afteeticnate mother and kind friend. Her loss is a
severe Otic to her children as they are young and oeed
a mother s care, one being only a lew hours old at the
time of her death. Hut we hope that what is their loss
M her gain, from the evidence she gave of her accep'sftce
; with God through the merits of her Saviour. Her last
I words were, I am going home to Paradise, to God and
to Glory. J. S. G.

SICKLY SEASON,—There is not a man, woman, or
child, but should take medicine at this season of the
year, but more especially at this present time : for there
probably were never so many causes existing at one pe
riod us there are now, so likely to produce a state of
sickness. I he repeated changes in the atmosphere, by
acting as they do upon the constitution, and quality of I
the blood itself, give occasion for the most fatal and ma
lignant disorders. The bile becomes (and often without
any warning,) in a most acrimonious condition from these
repeated changes, and if the stomach and bowels have
been neglected previously, the first symptoms require
immediate atteliliou. Even those who have a healthy i
disposition of body, are subject to sickness under these !
circumstances. Therefore to prevent any danger, we I
ought carefully toguard against a costive state of our bow
els. Once or twice they should be evacuated in twen
ty-tour bouts. I here are many causes which produce !
unhealthy blood : sometimes it may arise from grief, at I
others when the system is in astute of fullness it can ■
take place from sudden joy ; close application to literarv i
umleifaking can produce it—in all eases where many !
persons have to be seen and spoken to, w hich producing
nervous excitement, is a fertile source of unhealthy blood
occasioning lliut slow nervous fever which has carried
off some of our best men, men martyrs to their reputa
tion, but which a knowledge'of the powers of It ran
ilrelli 3 Pill.* Wuxi Id have prevented. ^Tliosu who desire
to secure their health, under almost nnv nil verse 6‘rfcuA -
stances,can do so by having Huanorktii’k Pills on baud, I
and at once resorting to them when the first feelings ol j
disorder take place in their bodies. As this advice is
used so will the health he. The time will yet be when
a man that makes a good medicine shall be honored more I
than he who is an adept in war.
