S7inonr and Wool.
IV the gditcr of the New York Tribune,
Sir: I find the following; parftgranh in the
Ullca IlfraUlot yesterday :
Nilthrr the Aram nor the World hs tt answered
the oiimHod wheihpr (General John K. Wool re lined
lo nbeke bands with Horailo Seymour at a funeral in
waauiDgion county id ise.
Perhaps Ihe undersigned can enlighten tho
lublic on this sut.ject if neither the Argusnor
ll or a will. 1 was present at tue mnerai spoken
of tbat ot General David A. Russell, at Salem
and remember the circumstance very dis
tinctly. Both General Wool and Governor
Seymour were passengers ou the same tram
to talem. but did not meet uutil arriving at
the dcot in that place. Governor Seymour
accosted the General very politely, and offered,
his hand, which he (Ueueral Wooli otfi'n-"
slvely relused. The affair created consider
able remark at the time, and drew lorth some
strictures, even from Republicans, ou the
grouly General's want of etiquette. On return
ing lo Albany, the train was met at Cambridge
by a large crowd, and Wool was loudly cheered;
but wnen some sanguine Democrat called for
cheers for Seymour, groans were (riven Instead.
All this General Wool enjoyed hugely. Ho
tbe Oeneral lins oreu seduced into his present
support of the Democratic candidate, whom, lu
lh03, bethought unworthy the notice of a sol
dier, Is, however, a matter I cannot attempt to
explain. Possibly he fancies himself neglected
by the Republicans, for it Is well known that
vanity is his ruling passion.

Murder upon Impulse.
Tbe singular story which follows, and which
is taken Irom a recant number of tbe London
J"ctrs, furnishes an additional cate lor the study
of psychologists:
"Gunner Berjamin Sheldon, who was hanged
at Lurk now lor having shot and killed Botnbir-
dier Wall, made a strange confassiou. Ou the
day of the murder he had been led 'by the kind
cess of hisfiieuds' to drink to excess. 'In the
evening,' he says, 'I must have been at roll-call.
aitnontu 1 do not recollect it; and the first
thing I do recollect, after leaving the canteen
when it was closed, was finding myself at tho
cot of Corporal Wall, with a carbine In my
hand. I cannot tell whether Corporal Wall was
asleep or awake. It was then, as in a moment,
1 lelt impelled by some uncontrollable impulse
to t-hoot him. I tried not to do it, but I bad no
power it was as if I could not leave the soot.
It seems to me as it 1 had been under a strong
and irresistible temptation of the devil. I do
not remember discharging" the carbine, or
sptaking to anyone; but ray next conscious
moment was, when I was being baudcuffed in
the guard-room, as one of tbe handcuffs nipped
me. It was not until tbe next morning, when
I was told of what had happened, that the cir
cumstance of having been at Corporal Wall's
cot flashed upon me."
