STATli r». LIDDELL. reason for not settling the difficulty, that Lid dell bad once taken advantage of him and would again. During one of the interviews Which witness had with Jones, witness told Jones that after what had happened if he (witness) were in Liddell's place, he would consider himself bound to kill Jones through to save his own life. This was sta necessity ted to Jones as an inducement to made some fmngeinem. Witness did not tell Jones fl.1» Maj. Liddell would kill him. Witness tu intimate with Jones and said " Charley, what in the name of God will you do then ! You can't both live here together in this state of things." This was not said with the view of conveying a threat from Maj. Liddell to Jones. Witness had at that time never heard ! Maj. Liddell threaten to injure Jones either ! in his own house or elsewhere. Witness never remembers to have told Jones that ** there were two men at Maj. Liddell's who would hunt him like wolves." Witness never knew such to bo the case, does not believe such was the case and could not, consequently, have told Jones so. When witness was at Jones', on one occasion, when Wooten was S resent, Jones told witness that young Mr. mith, a nephew of Mr. Percy's, had been at his house and made inquiries of him with regard to the Nichols' plantation, stating that he wished to buy the plantation, and that as Jones had formerly owned the place he wished him to explore the place with him and to give him his opinion of it. Jones there, or had anything to do with his going there. Smith's geueral character in the neighborhood was not a good one, though he was * young man of respectable connec mt - " - tions. fPitness believes the reason why the duel between Henry Huntington and Maj. Liddell did not come off was that, in witness' opinion, Liddell would have been assassina ted on his way to Texas. Liddell assigned that as a reason to witness. Glenn and Pryor were to be Huntington's seconds : they were both enemies of Liddell. Col. StantoD was Liddell's second. Stanton said he was not willing for Maj. Liddell to go to Texas unless Glenn would guarantee that he should return home without harm if not shot in the duel. Glenn refused the guarantee. Davis Beown, sworn.—-Witness was well acquainted with Moses Wiggins, and had known him for many years—was pretty much raised with him. Witness once met Wiggins soon after the latter had returned from New Orleans. Witness asked Wiggins if he had seen Charley Jones, and if he was well. Wiggins replied that he had seen Jones, and toon after said that he had no doubt Jones would pay a man well to kill Maj. Liddell. Wiggins was with Jones a great deal—was a great associate of Jones'—they lived close together during the summer season. Wig gins was intimate with Glenn also—-was with him a great deal—they travelled about the country together a great deal. Witness thinks that the conversation with Wiggins, alluded to above, occurred some time daring the year 1849, is not certain. Witness did not testify before the Grand Jury which found this biU Hobt. D. Pkrct, sworn.—Witness is veiy well acquainted with James A. Smith. S. is a nephew of Witness' wife. Witness is aware of the fact that Smith went, on one occasion, to Jones' house : knows that he went with so hostile purpose towards Mr. Jones : before Smith went to Jones', he told Witness that bis object was to see Pryor, so that he would know him : this was before Smith went to Maj. Liddell's. After Smith had been to Jones' house, Jones wrote a letter to Witness, in which he told witness, that his nephew, Wm. Smith, had been at his house ; that he treated him like a gentleman while there, and that he (Jones) felt no alarm on account of Smith. Smith went to Major Liddell's merely to assist in protecting his house, in case it should be attacked : he went at the request of witness. Before this, and just af ter Jones waylaid Liddell below Trinity, wit ness had advised Liddell to have his mends about him, as there was danger that his house would be attacked. Witness did not testify before the Grand Jury which found few bill. _ James Henslt, sworn.—Witness has re sided eleven years in this Pariah. Witness was very w«H acquainted with Glenn and Wiggins ; lived not far from Glenn on Little River. Some few weeks before Glenn was killed, he came to witness' field, where wit ness was ploughing at the time. He told witness that was a slow way of making money, and he could put bhq on an. easier road tb make a fortune ; witn««s enquired howl Glenn replied that if he (witness) would kill Maj. Liddell hé should have $ 1500 . Witness told Glana that ha had _ Liddell : that he would not taka the life of any man in cold blood. Glenn told witness if $1500 was net enough to fix his own price : witness refitsed on any tuna to have anything to do with the mat ter, and Glenn left. Soon after Wiggins eama aadptopoaad to witness to take up Glenn's proposition : sud that he would see that no harm came to him (witness:) that ha knew ail toe roads to Tsxaa; that he would show witness toe way there ; that he was able to raise $1500 or $2000 himself ; that he would join his mens with what wit nan would get for killing Liddell, and that together they would establish a Grocery in Texas. Witness »did not testify Worn toe Grand Jury which found tUa bill. H. C. Jons, sworn.—WR mm waa pres ent, in Trinity, on toe day whan an alledced assault waa made by ralâddal! on the person of T. W. Graves. This took place in • bar-toom of a hotel kept by wnaess.— jaHe yfl ( w i i dm into tu* loom ut oomptoy win» some other gentlemen—witaesB believes u witnem was Ptot matter at wa.; followed, aotn after, by dd att tdl Graves that ha had and Wtodai} w it n ess would have hand him if he had made nay anob witness was with* a few feat ef and Gravfts during-the whole n is the room wheat tow cum ifii wÜwnad in ft aft« <% had left; tliat was Si id tiung heard every __ „ Th( room at the time, but nobody was playing parties. There was a Billiard table in th ou it. Grant Likcbcum, sworn. —Witness was well acquainted with Glenn. Glenn was a violent man ; a few days, not more than three or four days before bis death, witness | in believes that he was the worst man that ever went unhung. Witness did not testify before the Grand Jury which found this suaded, and----- . was a dead man. Witness is very well ac-j ouainted with the man Dick Pryor; lias qua mica w - ' known him, off and on, for many a year.— i character — ho J Witness *i I Pryor was a notoriously bad was a gambler and a horse-racer. bill. Laxikgham, sworn.—Witness was acquainted with Moses Wiggins. Not long before Wiggins death, witness was overtaken by him on his way to his house. W iggins commenced speaking of the difficulty existing between Jones and Maj. Liddell. Witness told Wiggins that he regretted exceedingly the existence of that difficulty—that things had got to such a pass now in the parish that a man was almost afraid to express his opin of , . ... j.«. ' : ion about that difficulty, or even to think - ♦ WTWr ! about it. This was about the ti me that Pryor, Sam Smith, Emerson, Glenn, and Wiggins were in the habit of coming to Trinity armed, Lotns Napoleon and the Sultan de scended from American Ancestors. —The past history of the families of Louis Napoleon and the Sultan of Turkey, is full of interesting and marvellous incidents, some of which are, probably, not generally known to our readers. These two monarchs, now so cordially united in the struggle to maintain the integ rity of the Ottoman Empire, are both grand sons of American ladies. These ladies were born nnd raised in the same neighborhood, «Su the Hand of Martinique, one of the West Indies. They were of French origin, and compmfans and intimate friends in childhood and youfc. They were Josephine do Tascher and a ilss S-. The history of Josephine is generally knowi. She went to France, and married to M. de Biauharnais, by whom she had one son, En jene, and a daughter Horteuse.— Some line after the death of Beauharnais, Josepkiae was married to Napoleon Bona parte, atd became Empress of France. Her daughter Hortense, was married to Louis Bonaparte, then King of Holiaud, and the present Imperor of Franceis her son by that marriaga Miss Ü quitted the Island of Martinique some titUe before her friend. But the vessel that w»scarrying her to France was attacked and tale» by the Algerine Corsairs, and the crew inj passengers made prisoners. But this coistir ship was in turn attacked and pillaged by Tunis pirates, and Miss S. was carriedby them to Constantinople, and offered for sales« a slave. Her extraordinary beauty and accomplishments found her a purchaser in the Saltan himself ; and she soon became the ehiflady of the Seraglio and the Suita ness of Turkey. Mahmoud II. was her son, and thl present Sultan, Abdul Medjid, is tbe son of Mahmoud. Thut die two sovereigns who now occupy so largi a space in the world's eye, are grand sons of two American creole girls, who wore playmées in their youth ; and were as re markaTle for their beauty and excellent dis positiois, as for their varied and singular fortune^ But these women—in the height of their power—iemembered all the friends of their youth, çid provided munificently for their welfare. Many of the friends of the Sulta nen left the Island of Martinique, and settled at Constantinople, where their descendants still rende, and enjoy the favor of the Sultan. The Sultaness died in 1811, the Empress Josephine in 1814, and their grandsons now rule jbver two wide and powerful empires ; and $re entering, as friends and allies, upon one the most momentous and sanguinary struggles in which Europe was ever involved. —Pkttburg Post. A singular marriage recently too place in New Castle, Del. A young lady of Brandy wine, had some week or so previous com mitted to jail a young gentleman for being naughty; * * * * The young gentle man it is said was willing to make all right by marrying the lady, but the young gentle man's mother—these old ladies are queer tilings, they forget when they were young, and their many shortcomings—would'nt con «pp»t to the marriage. So the young lady ; dapped toe gentleman in jail ; where after keeping him just long enough to get a taste of prison life, she made her appearance, on the aforesaid day, and very coolly gave him his <du»ce of two things, either to come out like a maw and marry her, despite of his old mother sml all the world, ' and the rest of mankind,' or else stay in jail thé balance of his life and rot there. This was a hard alter native,'|nd the young gentleman, after a brief consideiation, came to the conclusion that it was better to be hung in toe matrimonial halter, than* to rot in jail, so he came out boldly and the Rev. Dr. Spottswood soon had his neck ornamented with th e noose that is " tied by the fongue and can't be untied by the teeth," and the happy roupie returned in the can for their homes. But it is said that the young man, whether from happiness at finding himself a married man instead of the ipmato of a prison, ojtftom some other cause, forgot to stop in Wmnington .where he lan ded his wife, but continued on to Philadel phia! **d has not beat heard from since.

No number matter, th great contain over twelve hundred pages of the very best reading | matter that capital can command from original sour ces, or ta-te select from the vast mass ot available material. The aim of the editor w iD be to produce ft publica tion which shall be valuable in matter, and choice in taste and style: and he flatters himself, from the known talents of his contributors, that he w ill be able to present as many good original articles to hi. read era as anv publication of the day. He shall not. however, hesitate to publish, trout time to time, arti cles from English authors, and translations from the best German and French writers, provided the pieces have never before appeared in print in this country. Essavs on important political subjects will likewise be inserted, an»l criticisms or the literature of America and the movements of the age. The review depart ment, in which a large and liberal spirit ol criticisms will always be maintained will be extended. _ For the defence of American literature the editor will always be ready ; for tbe maintainance of a correct tone in the Magazine, he will, if possible, be still more watch ful. Each number will contain an engraving from a splendid steel plate. In addition to the choice de signs and engravings of Devereux, who will still -up plv illustrations for the text in the body of the book. The aim of the editor will not be, so much to increase the number of his engravings, as to secure for those he publishes the utmost finish which the artist can give them ; for common wood cuts are so easily mul tiplied, that tlie most indiflerent publication may out rar.k in dreary display the choicest period'ynl. The editor'does not feel, that with his own readers, hc can increase his claims to their respect br insisting on any verv great superiority of Graham over several similar publications, but thinks he may safely confide ! in their friendship for the Magazine, and in its past j management for its present list, a id such increase as : naturally grows out of an extended circulation in a country where readers are multiplying so rapidiy. Of the January number the first etiilion will be 3»V 000 copies, and'tbe editor trusts his old friends w ill be so prompt in renewing old clubs, ami extending the ll«t among new ones, that the first edition shall be but half of what the now year will ultimately estab lish as the permanent circulation of Graham.
