The Louisti ie Journal of Saturday says : On Thursday evening about five o'closk Mr. Julius C. Buky, of Bulliitcounty, living four or five miles from Ml Washington, went into the room where kis wiftf and daughter, a very beautiful young lady sixteen or seventeen years old, were quilting. The daughter remarked that she wished to vie it a neigh bor. The father obj cted. Words passed, and the daughter retorte J somewhat unbecomingly. There upon he struck her with a cane, and, drawing his revolver, shot Ler through the head, and, while she was falling, shot her again through tbe back. She died ioslanily. At the sound of the report hia aon rushed to the room and met his father upon the tbresholJ retreating to the yard with his pUtol in . hia band. It being evident that the father waa about to kill himself, tbe son struggled for tbe pis. tol, but the father clung to it desperately, and, af ter getting a abort distance from the door, succeed ed in blowinc is own brains out and fell dead.

The New York Tribune learns that a wealthy gentli-man of that vicinity has just given to four of the prominent painters of that city commissions of an unusual magnitude. The artibti in question are Messrs. IIui tington, IIL-ks, Rossiter and Baker. Each is lo paint a p'cture fifteen feet by nine, group ing from twenty to thirty distinguished living per sanages of this country. Thus, Mr. Huntington is to paint the eminent merchants; the picture of Mr. Dirks will represent men and women who have be. come famous in American literature, that of Mr. Bossiter will give tbe portraits of sciontific men, and that of Mr. Baker of artists. These interesting works are to be commenced immediately. .... A wiiterin the New York Timre gives the terrible intelligence that Mr. Henry Stevens; of Ver mor.t, agent of the Smithsonian Institution in Paris, baa discovered a collection of four thousand letters wholly in the handwriting of Dr. Franklin. The writen says. A great many of them were written from Passy, mar Paria. It is not generally known that Franklin ib vented tbe manifold copying ink and press now in such general mercantile use, whereby facimile of each letter is immediately transferred into a book of tissue paper. Franklin kept dupli cates taken In this manner, of all his letters, public and private. The prime cost of the collection was XI, 000, but Mr. Stevens went to the further heavy cot-t of having the whole of them sorted, repaired, ' mounted and handsomely bound in Russian leather. Tbey are indexed also. Many of the letters had . become illegible from age and damp, but, such, carefully laid out on highly-glared Bristol board, were pass -d under heated metalic rollers, with great pressure, which has quite restored the writ ing. .... The Louisville Journal of Saturday says "Doubtless our readers remember the circumstances attending the death cf Mr. Fraxer, a farmer residing lt-sar L'xington, and the subsequent trial of his wife and overseer, natml Gregg, on the charge of hav ing murdered him. They ware acquitted, and bare since married and settled near Maysville. A few dajs ago Gregg was taken out of his house and thoroughly castratad, by a party of nun supposed to be from Lexington." ....

' The Conventions to nominate a candi date for Congress in this district; for Floater for the district composed of the counties of Davidson, RobertsoD, and Montgomery and for the Senate in the dis trict composed of Robertson, Montgomery, and Stewart, meet .at Clarksville, on Tuisdat keit, thk 14th of April. The delegates from the several counties should prepare immediately to attend. There is no time to be lost. The "old pilot," of the Union and Amtr ican, admits that he, with a great portion of the Southern people, was willing, prior to 1850 and during the excitement of that year, to abide by the Missouri Compromise line. But when this offer was rejected by the North, it wa3 nothing but right that we of the South should throw ourselves back npon our constitutional rights. This is plausible enough; and if bis course in op position to that line, had been based upon these conservative grounds, it might well be pleaded against a charge of inconsisten cy. Bat this was not tbe case. At one time holding it as a fair and equitable line of demarcation between the conflicting in terests, prejudices and peculiar institutions of two sections of the country; at another denouncing it npon grounds the most radi cal, as being unjust, unconstitutional, and onerous to one section once claiming it to be an amicable and peace-bearing compro mise, again Fpurning it as an outrageous and intolerable wrong, which had its incep tion in a spirit of aggression on the part of the North, and of which the South was duped or betrayed into an acceptance. These positions, we are inclined to believe, are totally irreconcilable. We have no disposition whatever, to disturb the philo sophic equanimity of the "old pilot," by re ferring to these things. These issues have passed, and the Missouri Compromise has bcen declared unconstitutional by the high est and, perhaps, the ablest judicial tribu nal in the govenment. We do not consid er the question itself as a matter of any vi tality, since this decision; nor do we con sider the positions heretofore occupied by public men or political writers, of any ma tenal consequence (provided they are wil n to abide the decision) except so far as jt indicateg the consistency amj patriotism I AT f ba rvt AtiifAe 1-kwr aw t aU A. a 1 " ""-vW.c vj w...iU luCj were acuiaiea If the "oU P" can mingle " philosophy " with his self-felicitations upon this subject, we do not object. We only desire to ap- prise those Who mould their Opinions and shape their political conduct according to that model, that they may very soon be re quired to look to some new land mark, and to trim their sails to a fresh breeze, in their career upon the political seas. We are here enabled to show, also, how unreasonable is the opposition of the Union and American to the lion. Jonx Bell. When the subject of the repeal of the Mis souri Compromise, by the Kansas-Nebraska b;h, was before the Senate Mr. Bkll chose to adhere to the opinions which he had previously entertained, in common with a Wat nortion of th Sontl.Prn nponlo." , ... n . , . aiiu oiiuuacu luc repeat us tue violation Ol a 1 compact, ana eminently calculated to stir up and inflame the passions of one section against the other. For this simple adhe- rence to a previously entertained opinion, and one which was concurred in by our neighbor, he is most perseveringly , de nounced as a " traitor to the South " an ally of the abolitionists as an intriguer for the Presidency, and as an able and ac complished schemer, who is more to be feared by the people than any other man in the State. If the " old pilot " is sincere. why not accord sincerity to Mr. Bell if one is honest, why not the other? These questions, it is immaterial for the Union end American to answer they are submit ted, with all respect, to the reflecting and fair-minded democracy themselves. It is for them to consider whether they are ar- rayed against their Senator with their Own consent: and whether thev are holding - , - rf . o opinions dictated by a party press, or such as are endorsed by their unprejudiced judg ment and an enlightened patriotism. The constitution of Tennessee restricts the right of voting to citizens of the United States. With this, our neighbors of the Union and American are perfectly satisfied. I . . . . - .

Title pver- Tbe Southern Pacific II All road. We present to onr readers this morning the letter of Ueo. S. Yerger, Esq., accept ing the Presidency of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. It will be read with interest by all who are properly impressed with the importance of this great project to the whole country, and especially to the South. It is evidently the determination of those who have now taken it in hand, to push it forward to completion as rapidly as possible. .. - . '. ,' It is natural, when any . one with whom you have been on the best terms politically, and regarded as one of- the pillars of your cause, gives you the 'cold shoulder," on ac count of a dereliction of duty on your part, whether real or supposed, for you to dislike and to seek occasion to disparage him, to weaken the vigor of his opposing arm. The Union and American but follows this instinct of human nature when it warH upon its for mer counsellor and friend, General S. P. Amrnt. It is aware of the power of the blows which he deals when he enters the lists armed for the fray. It knows that he is a "whole team" when fully enlisted in any cause. But having lost, by its espousal of principles which every true Democrat ought to embrace, the aid of this veteran, it is now contriving to deprive the American party of the advantages of his services by belittling bim. Go to neighbors, you can't win at that game. Better let it be.

Having, sft-r the most msture refl-ction, deter mined fo sccept the Presidency of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, I deem it a dutv to the public to state the present position of the company, nd its prospective ability to accomplish tbe great objects which its chsrter contemplates. , . A thorough investigation has convinced me that the road through Tex is cannot only be built with the means which the company must neesrily here- fit r po sess, by reason of the munificent grants of land to it, (to wit, 10,240 acre per mile ) but that a larre surplu of trillions will be distributed mong the stockholJrr.' ' . . .. There is no precedent in the anna a oi puttie en terprise which equals the liberalitf and enlightened generosity of Texas, ss exhibited in the charter of the Southern Pacific liailroad Oompanv, awl the laws passed in relation to the construction of. rail roads io that State. - The raid 'under its charter and these laws, is, I might almost sy, a Js'If-'uf- jtaining wotk, whici only requires to be begun, earn estly and sealouaiy, to be completed. . Ten miles of the road have been graded and crocs tied, within the time required by the charter; the iron neces sary to lav tbe twenty miles to be finished by the 16th of tebmary next, is now in this city, snd on its wsy up Red River; the force on the road, and the contracts already made, will emble it to com pletely finish the te .ty miles long before the time specified in the charter, which done, all the condi- iods are complied with, and t' e chartered rights of the company are forever secured. It would be In vain to enumerate in a brief no tice like this, much less to dwell up-n the results which must follow the completion of this roed. The dullest intellect can embrace at once their vatne83 and beneficence, as regards its influence, either on commerce, the desti iy of the empires and the sta bility and strength of our Union. These are mat ters of which every man must be his own juda. Believing as I do, that if this charter shoul I be for feited, that this great enterprise might be retarded a lifetime that it would be seized upon and ridden as a political bobby that it would revive and in vigorate theftrupgle before Conrrss ,lortheJtorta- ern and Middle routes; and it would engender bad feelins, sectional animosity and bitter controversy. I considered, independently of tbe van individual profit, which I believe will enure to the stockhold ers, a duty to accept the position teodi red to me, more particularly when its success seemed to me certain if prosecuted with energy. IcoDsiJrr it not only as a great national enter prise, but one that will be especially beneficial to the South, and no city in the Union would di-rive more lasting benefit from its completion than the c!ty of New Orleans. If tbis road is constructed through TexAS, no one can doubt that it must and will be continued through the Mesilla Valley to the Pacific. By a connection with tbe Opt lausaw road, New Orleans would, for all commercial purpose?, be its eastern terminus. A large prt of the im mense trade and riches of the Pacific, the Mexican Provinces, Western Texas, ew Mex co Ac, would, by means of these two roas, be centered in New Orleans. Indeed so soon as the road is finished to El Paso, it will become the great highway to California, a by means of stages from that point, the mails and pasSencets could be carried to San Francisco in little more than one-half of the time it now takes, and at one-half the eipense showing conclusively that tho road must hi come the thor oughfare for the public miils and Pacific travel long before it reaches the Pacific. I csnnct doubt that this road will prove a gr at national benefit; that with judicious manttement it can soon he made, that the charter privileges and grants are of a character to realize to the stock holders an immense profit, that securing thi char ter and building at once even fifty m I s of the roar), will effectually sdJ forever secure this route as the connecting link between the Pacific and At lantic oceans. But in relation to all thes matters,' candid pub- lio muatjuilge fur itself, from the fo lowing st .le nient of facts : The Legislature of Texas pissed sn act incorpo rating a railroad company under the name ol "Tex aa Western Railroad Company," which, by a subse quent act was chsnge l that of the "Southern Puci- fic Railroad Comptuj. This is the charter under which this company has been organizer). Uj the terms of the charter the company is authorized to construct a railroad from some suitable point on the eastern boundary line of Texas, and running such course as they might determine to El Paso, on the Rio Grande, giving to the corporation all the neces sary powers to carry into effect the ol j ct of the grant. . The charter gives the right to take and nclJ so much of the public land, through which the load might pa's, not exceeding two hundred feet wide, for the track of ther oad, and such aduitioual width as might be necessary for depots, ic. It sho gives to the company eight section ol land fur every mil of railway actually completed by it and ready for nse. The deith of three miles on each side of the road is reserved for the us of the company and the State, each being entitled t alternhte aertions. By an act ol the Lefiisltture, passed in 1854, the company became entitled to eight sections morrf, to be located on any of the public hods of the Slat), making in all sixteen sec tions of land to fie mile, or eight millions and seven teen thousindcre of land for the whole line of rca I. By another act of the Legislature of Texas, the Boird of School Commissioners wtra directed to loan to lesally incorporated railroad companies, out of the School fund in their hands, (being UniteJ States bonds, bearing five per cent.,) six thousand dollars for "every mile of railroad, when said com pany shall have completed, in a good and sub.tin tial manner, a continuous section of twenty-tive miles, and graded an additional consecutive section of twenty five m l s, and the same for every addi tional consecutive section of ten miles which shall be completed and graded." This munificent donation, it will be perceived at once, is not only sufficient of itself lo build lhe road, but will, if the same is well located, and tbe com pany properly matisged, alter hiiislmig tne roui, leave a surplus of millions of dollars to be divided among the stockholders. Althoush I have determined to sccept the office of President, yet I am free to say tb-t I should not have done so, if tbe road ha I not been placed unuer Southern control aud direction. The Nortnern stockholders, however, satisfied that they could build the road themselves, yet they bt lieved that it could b more sati-lactonty, sareiy andexondi iou If done by combining with the South. Tbe rotd runs through Southern territory, and can be more at curtly overlooked from tbe Southern por tion of tbe directory. Its management can be more economically cooducted from a Southern em porium, and iu uccess awaken a aider effort, snd diffuse a more extended and general aat'sUction. These confiJi rations have induced the liberal offer of removing the office and control of ibe con.pmy South; of electing a Southern President and a ma jority of Southern directors, and of offering an issue of stock upon as favorable terms as tbe first hold ers acquired it, to enable the South to obtain a ma jority of the rotd, in interest as well as direction. These nronositions have been cirried into effect by resolutions hereto appended, passed by the Board of Directots, snd made a part of th contract of sub scription, and $6,000,000 of the 5 per cent, stock of the Northern stockholders are 10 oe piaceu iu my hands, aa a fuither guarantee, if wanted by Southern purchasers. I should think when this is ur.demtood that every ground ol suspicion, jeaiousy, or d;squit is removed. No company of men can do more, and few aa much. The stock issued is up m condition that I Per share is p ii at the time of subscription, ai.d (bt no more shall ever be calhd in cr required of " stockholder f rever. Thi condition has appeared to some as olj ctiooatle; but when it h coi.s lerd that tbe money raided from these sobscriptions, and the asaets of the company are sufficent, as I am sati.Sed is the case, to complete the road to a p tint at which thernntnf the charter are obuiua'l-, it will be agreed that the limitation is a afe ne. The company will then be in possession of property and mean to enable it to go on and t uiid tbe road, without a Bcr fice of it land, and with a reaiona bl certaintv of succef s The highest estimates made for the completion cf the road through Texas, furnishing the augiues, cars, Ac, is twentv millions of doll irs. If the land shoul J only average five dollar per acre, its sale will amouut to upwards of forty mil lions. This, after building and equipping tbe road, leave a suiplus of twenty roil ions. The conci ion of th company can be seeo t a rlance, from the statement Iro.u th hooks furnish ed me, by Edwin Post, E , the Vice President, and herewith appended., II r.
