ctaNmsioN 'OF A MURDERER.
As we have .already stated, two -men, Andreae
Halt and Barnet 01:inneli, were hanged at Troy
on Thursday last, one for killing and robbing a
Mrs. Smith, the other for the murder of en Italian
Music.boV.` 'Before ho was led out to the scefrold
Hall lade the following confession to the Rev. Geo.
C. 13aldwin,.Pastor of the Baptist Church of Troy.
We copy•it from the Albany ,Atlni:
The condemned—by this time the deceased—was

interrupted by religious sentiments, awakened du=
ribg e f ldrovival".at Petersburg—and he lived a mor
al life•for.twoyears. 'lits relapsed and took again
to roil eries to :slept:tint himielf. In a moment of
passion he:. planned the murder of a man who had
•quarrelte • d with him, but' being baffled by circum
stances, abandoned it. •In arty • life he says his
mind dwelt ori plots of murder, and the best meth
ods of .escaping detection: and he finally conclu
ded that the beat way was to use a club well adapt
ed to the purpoSe.
' In 1847, from revenge, he murdered, near Troy,
a companion, whose bo dy he and-theplundered; re
cital et. this bloody deed, and of the attempt to con--
coal the,brly,lS•nimit - piteous. • Thefts, burglaries,
attempls at arson, and unexpected p'ans of murder
for reiwige and plunder, bccupied his time for the
year isc s geeding the murder for which he was, con
'lle was engaged to be married; but at this
time, reflecting on the crime which had forfeited his
life and .would, if discovered, disgrace his friends,
he felt remorse, and contemplated and prepared
suicide. He was dissuaded by the tears, of his
sis
nho inspected his purpose.
He was Only turned from* one crime to fall into
another. He alerted amid thunder and lightning to
Petersburg, and there- slept in a barn at a distance
from Smith's house.. He knew that Smith had
money, End had often been tempted to think of mur
der as the means of getting it. In the middle of
the forenoon % he woke, formed his plans of murder
and then slept' again. He took a wooden handspike.
He reached • Smith's at night and called him out. of
the hritise, telling him that the cattle had broken in
to hismeadow behind the barn. Smith went with
him to . the place, when Hall struck him with the
hand spike, killing hini tit a blow.returned to
the house, en t iced Mrs. Smith for t he axe, received
it, asked again fur a drink of water, and when she
offered it struck her a fatal blow. She continued a
long time groaning, and he struck her again and
again, but "it seemed as if she Could nut die." The
plunder of the house gave him tt SOOO in notes and
*12,000 in bills end specie, besides the gold beads
that he took from the neck of Mrs. Smith, Jvhich
formed afterwas the principle evidence fur convic
lion. After his conviction he attempted to break
jail, and bad already formed new plans of arson and
murder.tigainat his enemies.
Smotaxo•Arto -Snurritto.—A French legislator
has ptqpised to the Assembly to pass a law—asked
leave to bring in a bill, as we say—to tax smoking
and snuffing, the proposition being, that every per
son intending -:to smoke or snuff shall obtain a li
cense terdo - soobe price of which is to be fixed at
five franc—ninety four cents. The author of the
,propaitton estimates that this will produce a tax
of forty.millions of francs, which presupposes that
eme in about every four and a half persons will pur
chase licenses. •Nothing is said about chewing,
from Which we infer that the number of tobaCco
masticators must be but few.
In the,linited States more tobacco k used, we
supposei to proportion to our numbers, than in any
other part of the world, fur the plain reason,
that it is cheaper here then any where else, and where
cheap it is sure to be used to excess:lfor a man ap
pears to be almost as unrestrainablv a consumer of
tobacco as the tobacco worm itself;' and they are
the only two animals—the 'one the noblest in crea
tion, the other the ignoblest—that can endure it.—
This is singular, if it is so, end dernonstrates that
taste - for the wend is only an acquired and forced
one.
A tepc on iobacch chewing:, smoking and snuffing,
at the,French rate, would produce in the U. sista, :
not less than six or seven millions ofldollars per an
num, upon the supposition that not n great number
would relintinieh the indulgence in preference to
paying the tax.
. We„do not recommend to our legislators to tax
this Ittsurp—the use of tobacco; We only notice
what is proposed in another republic, what it may
be well enough to remember, as well as the Propo
sition of M. portails to tax refractory and unmar
ried old widower s -and bachelors, which produced
lately a good deal 'of consternation among the two
doomed:fraternities, and a good tie'al of merriment
at their expense.-4rashington -Globe.
ER1141740 :tyro, 41Et.i.".—The New Orleans,
police, about ten days since, made a sudden descent
upon a noted gambling house., The Picayune
says:-43ponfercing the door, the scene that ensued
beggars titiscription. Some forty or fifty gentleman
who were present, merely fur anitisements sake, we
supposgovete thrown in utter ed./sterna? inn and dis
may, forthwith beat a rapid - retreat, som by jump
ing thrmight the glass , doors, others to drive out of
the secontiliori.Windows, and some by the balus
trades, sheds and glitter spouts. It-was- about the
6 ,biggesiicare" . that has been on for some time. In
tinitViniftg room ) were found two highly interesting
"Calitilternytt,!''entonced in bed, appearently suf
fering all the pangs of some distressing malady; but
on one of thent . ilksilvertently crowding a ver suspe
cious looking foot,from under the bed cloths, encased
in a dirty 4 Yfullifier," the suspicions or the searching
,officers were.at once:aroused, and they concluded
that the atta , dt under which the invalids were ev
idently stifering, must have been very sudden.—
They weie consequently uncovered, when it was
found they had turned in all standing, they were be ,
ing rather unusual for sick folks, they were with
others, carried - to the tombs.
Tue MRAN :WAS or FEDKRA !ASH .—The day ,before
the adjournment of Congress, Mr. Duncan, Fed
eral member of the House from Kentucky,) from a
select commitree, made a report what the powers ex
ercised by. the President in establishing a tariff of
duties at Mexican ports during the war, and appro
priating the money in a way not designated by the
act of Congress, are not warranted by the constitu
tion and the laws, and are in derogation of both."--
This report was made last at the close of the Pre
siden's term• of service, and of course that officer
could have no opportunity of !ustifying himself
against the charge made. How characteristic of
the cra verrapiri tor Federalism. li the members be
longing to Mr. Duncan's party were convinced that
the constitution had been violated by President Polk
it was theft' anti- to•have impeached him, that tht
facts might .be presented to the country. That
would have been the manly course:—.but to exhibit
a charge•agaiust him just aa he was about to retire
from office, has very. much the appearence of aiming
a kick at the dead Lion.' But, what is too mean
fur the Federalists not be guilty of—aye, whatl—

THE LATEST FROM CALIFORNJ4.
,
Irwin the Boston Evenin; Traveller. r
We stated iw Friday's Traveler, that we had seen a
private letter from San Francisco, dated January_,
20th, which contained statements in" respect to the
'gold mines, exceeding, if anything, the marvellous.
ness of former accounts. It having been very court
eously suggested by one of our contemporaries, that
the whole thing-was a deception, we now publish
the let-. e. • ' with a single exception—sand with
the naive ci' t : writer attached. It was written to
a relative ift t ,- city, and there is no room to doubt
its authenti it; ; . . „
Ski: Fits:vase°, is',2 o t 1 SO,
Dear Uncle—s-1 set mye_elfdown -- to - _ write a • few .
lines, to let you know that 1 amin'the , land of the
living, and that I 'arii .f 1 0 . 4, enjoying tolerably good
'health; While Ivatrid the gold diggings. my health
Was bad fur month or so; fur there we had_ no,
houses, and-for the most- part had to seep on the
gro und or untler,rocks,,where we could get a place.
Talk.elthe,array-1. never saw half the , hardship
-while I was in the service, that I have seen in the
gold dligings. Could we have houses, orgond tents,
however, we could be comfortable, even at the dig
gings-.
As for gold. I have gold. I hare got plenty. I
have.gnt about 793, pounds. It seqs'here for from
12 to 16 dollara the ounce. I. was in the diggings
three mouths and a half, and if 1 had had something
to wash out the dirt clean, I should have got as much
again; for we can get nothing near all of it out. 1
have - ti number •of pretty' - large pieces-;--One piece
weighing five pounds.
1 want you to comeout here; you can get jest as
much gold as you want. I know where there is a
ledge, that is almost solid gold; but I shall not tell
any body, nor work at it, till my friends come out.
I found it out by one of the Indian Chiefs, whose
life I saved, When he was about to be murdered. A
great inaey.are killed, and nothing is said about it.
The-excitement is so great that every body has
been digging gold, and every one here, has got, a
plenty of gold.. Living here is now two dollars a
day. It has been ten dollars.
The gold Country is immense. 1 have been five
hundred mile up the country; and the further we go,
the thicker the gold is. I think on the river where
I was, the-fountain head is-in the mountains, but it
is awful travelling to get up to my ledge. I know •
where there Ls plenty' of silver hi the mountains.—
WO found th a t when I was with the Indians. They
took me prisoner, and! was with them nine months.
At last I diseovered that one of the chiefs was a
Free-mason, land he at once set me free. I find
that a great many of the Indian chiefs are Free
masons. I was made a Mason by the recemmenda
tion of an aged friend, before left Michigan. I
left there when the war first began, and went and
'Ailed Culotiel Fremonei regiment. We crossed
the mountains, and I gut- taken by the Indians. I
was relet.sed in consequence of being a Mason; and
1 would advise all that intend to coins out to _this
wild countrY to be masons, fur they will find, true
friends among the Indians: The Indians hold ma
sonry to be T acred—which it is.
If you wee here, you could make money at your
trade just as! fast es you please; for mechanies here
will not work at their trades, because they get rich
so much feeler at the gold diggings.
You never saw such a set_as there is in this place.
There are people of all nations and of all colors. 1i
Congress do l eti not make some laws, and strtct ones,
too, Ido not know what we shall do. It will bit
"the tinniest! fend • off." The population here are
getting to be awful bad; and it is caused by that
curse of thekarth, Rum. If that had been kept
nut, there would have been no trouble here. It is
warm went er hero now. No snow. There was
some snow t the diggings, but not much.
If you ceme out, come with a number. The more
that come tOgether, the better they can do. I un-
derstood yeaterday that news had come from Mon
terey, that they had found an inexhaustible gold
mine, aboutkio miles from there, and also some sit
ver mines; ut tee take no notice of the silver Mines,
. ._ .
which can be got at, at half the trouble of the gold.
Quickeilver i is here in abundance, in all the hills.
Don't delay in coming, and bring a good company
with you. If you can get here in July or August,
you can ge up the country before the rainy ;cation
commencel, and then you can get •tixe.l, so that you
can work at the mines all winter if you please.—

tt. e
recent attack of Tuotuss [I. BENTON. Santee!. from
11 issonri, n the lust administration, is as foreign to that
gentleman's chivalry in earlier life, as, it is consistent with
his more recent eccentricities. A few months age he
put the golvernment to an expense of nearly two thousgiod
dollars for the publication of a speech. assailing a dying
roan—arse indeed, hardly was the speech itself conclu
ded ere the object of his venom had breathed his last :
Now. W4l Mr. Pima has left the Capital—when his
members of the Cabinet have nearly all departed to their
homes—'le begins an assault upon the Into "administra
tion, which would not discredit the spirit of its most ma
lignant old unscrupulous enemies. Mr. IttaTox may
desire to l ipropitiate the new administration, which has
just conferred an important appointment upon his near
connection, and may soli:irily affect the fortunes of his
distant friends; but the J good sense, of the country Wlli re
volt (om a scheme, which, in order to gratify personal,
disappointment or revenge, or to promote personal ambi
tion, awaits the absence, of the recent President and the
most of his friends, to crush him, when I)O+AS - ire oppor
tunity to defend himself. Mr. Burros is an able man.
and Ices a great-man; but the last hours of his life seem
to be poisoned by the unnatural desire to blacken all the
fame of his earlier years, and of assailing and insulting
the great party with which he has •acted so long. The
excuse for his last ebullition is the WI to the Alexi
