Tab Case of Wellington »• Smith—Un
pleasant History
■ [From ilia Richmond Comj-ijex.]' ,
As a. good deal of interest is felt respect
ing this affair, we have taken some trouble
to ascertain the facts in the case. \Tc do
not wish to pre-judge in this or aiiy other
criminal transucluini-but, in justice to our
readers, we submit several- facts, which it is
believed are welt authenticated. .
• There is a lady in. town ,wl)o calls herself
■Mrs. Marcia Smith, and asserts that the is
the wife of one. J. Augustus Smith, known
here as a teacher of penmanship under the.
cognomen of Wellington.
. There is evidence of the must satisfactory
nature that this Mrs. Smith is- the daughter
of an aged, excellent clergyman at the north;
-that she has highly respectable ’connections
in Boston,-Lowell, Manchester, N. 11. and
Herkimer, N; Y. She has testimonials of
good standing as a Christian, and in all her
present affliction she has manifested an ad
mirable spirit.
She Was married to J. Augustus Smith
ten years ago in Albany. N. Y.. B.nee then
she has travelled much with him as the as
sociate teacher of penmanship, she being
well qualified to teach that and other brun
ches uf practical education. Abu it two.
years since. Smith proposed to-go south, and
did so with one Aiken, of whom, we under
stand, nut much good can be said. At the
suggestion of his comrade. Smith changed
his name to Wellington, and, moreover, by
him, it is said, was furnished, with false tes
timonials, purporting to come from respecta
ble clergymen, on the strength ol which,
with other articles, he (Wellington) won the
confidence and the turn'd of a worthy young
lady'in this city.
Soon after the'marriage the parties visited
Boston, where Mrs. Smith and another lady
were>a3Sociated in teaching. A gentleman
culled at their school .room one day, while
''Wellington and lady” were in town, and
said in the hearing ot Mrs. Smith—"a man
who once taught pepmanslvp hereabouts by
the name uT Smith, went to Virginia, changed
his name to Wellington; and has returned
with a young girl; They board at No. 7,
—.—. Row.” Mrs. Smith, as soon as the
first effects of therahock had passed off, went
to the place, saw'the young “Mrs. Welling-'
ton,*’ and, incognito, learned from her own
. u«s*'Tofcn\orB;(hs<r
With a heroism of heart “which drinks
the blood,” she kept the murderous tidings
smothered in her own bosom, lest she should
exasperate her brother, and bring down her
uged parents with sorrow to the grave.
since last..limt.&be..bas -known mf
this matTiage, hut said-nothing. A few
weeks since, while she was pining away with
secret agony,fhe rumorYcacht'd her brblhbr
in-law, respecting the true cause of her pri
vate surrowsTT He delicately, and yet di
rectly, demanded if site knew' whether her
husband was or was not married again?—
She was thus obliged to tell all. Her friends
are not rich, but. they scorned the recreant
who would Ihus desert the worthy, and of
course demanded that she should cut ofi'all
ties of affection fur him. This was hard.—
Bhe was a WQman —a wife—a mother. As
the man who had won her affections, who
had for years reciprocated her kindness, and
who was the father of her two children, per
haps-fortunately how dead, she loved him
still, and wished to see him once more.—
Bhe came here alone, with the least possible
publicity, only to secure, if she could, some
pecuniary aid, as had been promised, and a
final leave, but without the remotest idea of
revenge Or prosecution. She shrinks from
the strange and unexpected notoriety, and
has a bald face only when imputations of
guilt are Hinted. It is believed that great
wrong has been committed, and we can only
hope that impartial justice may fall where
the guilt lies. For Mrs. Smith there is but
one source of consolation. A friend has seen
u letter which sliehas written to her husband,
.in which she tenderly .commends him to the
"furgiving, mercy of God, and, for herself)
pants for the repose of-the grave.
. Wellington was arrested on Wednesday.
Yesterday he was examined before the-May
in ’s Court, but his case was adjourned to
Monday be tore the conclusion of his exami
nation.
Ohio Wheat Crap of 1842.—The Cincin
nati Republican of file 22d October says—
“We learn from a friend, who has been
"spending a few .days at different points in thc
tircat Miami Valley, that the Wheat which
' has been sown the present'Fidl in this fertile
section of. the Slate, amounts to about three
times the usual quantity. If the farmers in
the other principal grain districts of the State
have sown .any .thing like ajre'xtensively,
with a favorable season, the Wheat product
of 1842 will .be. very large.. The secd.along
the Miami has'come up .well, and the: fields
present a beautiful and healthy appearance.
The fly has'shown itself in soinu districts,
but has as yet done but little damage. En-
Jire exemption froit>"its"ravagcs is not to be
'.expected, but the present indications are that
it will be far loss destructive than it w.as last
-fall. ,
The Red Man of the Wes*. —The St.
Lnuis.Ei'a slates that a census was taken du
ring the late attempt to negotiate a treaty
.-with the Indian tribes of the. Sacs and Foxes,
and the whole number id'souls was found to j
be 2300.' ,But a few years ago the total !
number was between 7000 and 8000, and
(lie gentleman who gives us this information
says that he has seen 1600 warriors in the
field at one time, mounted and armed for
battle.—Since'.then llie., whites have been'

' A- N'anour Escape. —T\vo boys, about 13
■ or 14 years of age, on-Tuesday morning took
a, rope; each fastening end round his
; body and thus connected they stood ,phe on
each si'dejof, the rail mail track in Dealt st.,
_ at the. foqtbf Centre .Market Space, the tope
lying across the rails. While ra'this posi
t i 'O a butdien train caine across Pratt street
■ bridge, and in passing on towavdpthe depot.
the horses and the forwald car passed over
the rope, which was caught by tjie wheels of
the second and wound tip, dragging the boys
with, great velocity and force towards the
car. Qne ol them had the presence of mind
to jump in between the two cars, some col
ored men at nbout’the’samc time seizing the'
horses by the head;’and before the motion of
the cars was arrested, and just as the heacl
6f the other boy was about to be drawn un
der the wheels, Mr. Lloyd, machinist, east,
side of the Falls, below I’ratt street bridge;
seized him, and jerked him away with such
force.as to break the rope, thus saving hi.m
from a violent death by his humanity and
promptitude. This ought to be a warning
tq buys, to keep from playing about the rail
road.—Ball.~Suiu: ~ "
•Another Slave Question. —The Gqyernor
of Georgia in,his late message to the legisla
ture, brings to their notice a correspondence
he has had with the Governor of New York,
in relation to an application for a man who
store a slave and-escapcd to New York.—-
He says that the proper papers were prepared
and authenticated, and a demand made up -
on Governor Seward for the'arrest and de
livery of the fugitive. Guv. Seward has de
clined to comply with fife dcmand'until he
has received proof ol the facts and circum:
stances. “This proof, although entirely
convenient,” states the message, “I’declin
ed procuring, as I was fully satisfied that 1
had complied with the letter and spirit of
the Constitution ami Act of Congress.” He
therefore recommends the passage of a law
by the‘legislature of Georgia, subjecting to
inspection any package of goods that shall
be shipped, either directly or-indirectly,
from the State of New Y'ork, or any other
State manifesting a similnr.disposition; and
-that competent officers he appointed to exe
cute the same; and that all suspected persons
coining from such States be required to find
security for their good "behavior, and parti
cularly that they will not interfere or have
intercourse with the slave-population.— lb.
The Murder in Queen Ernie’s County.—
\Vc stated a two since murder
had been committed at Peters’ Conner, in
Queen Anne’s- county, on Saturday night
last.- The Centrevilfe Sentinel gives,the
'following particulars:— Balt. Sun.

called'Peters’ Corner, in (lie upper part of
the county. A fight ensued, in which knives
-or daggers -were used freely, and one or
more persons were,very badly, if not dan
gerously wounded. -'.-Vffer tile ■fight'irasrov-'
er. Clothier took one of the belligerents,'who
was most severely .wounded', .into a private
room, and sfcnt after a physician to dress Ids'
wuun Is, turned the remainder”of them out
doors, and closed his house. This treatment,
it appears, incensed Burrows,, and,two of
his sons, whahad been the principals in the
fight. They commanded Clothier'to open
his dyor, which he refused. They then
ilveatened to break it open, and Burrows,
■followed by his two sons, proceeded to flic
kitchen door, to execute his threat. The
elder Burrows, who was a stout athletic man,
succeeded in forcing the door, and was met,
as he entered the door, by Clothier, with a
loaded gun,'who instantly lodged its contents
near the region of the heart. Burrows fell
backwards out, of the house, and expired in
a few minutes; his two sons took to flight.
Clothier waS promptly apprehended and
lodged in jail, to await his trial, which will
probably take place this wetk.
An Affecting Case. —A wo.man named
Eliza Betts, the wife of an industrious and
highly respectable man in Philadelphia, was
a day or two since in the Court of Sessions
found guilty of “shop-lifting.” The jury
recommended her to the leniency of the
court, and she was sentenced but one week
to prison. The Spirit of the Times says:—
“The prisoner had been repeatedly known
to commit petty larcenies in stores, but the
impression witli most persons who have had.
any acquaitance with lier, is, that though
apparently a confirmed thief, yet the propen
sity, was not a vicioils but a morbid one, a
kind of monomania, and therefore she is uiA
fortunate, and an object' of pity. The im
pression that she has been affected as above
stated, is confirmed by the fact that her bus-''
band is in comfortable circumstances, and
that nothing like necessity could have com
pelled her to steal.” . '
The victory in New York has baffled the
hopes of the Whigs. They counted upon
lief to make up their previuus losses. Their
presses have been recently blazing forth an
article signed “Onward,”who expatiated
upon the defeats of the Whigs in 1840, “be-'
fore the great Whig Harrison Revolution,”
when the Vart Huron pafty carried almost
every state (Kentucky, New York and Ver
mont excepted) from Maine to Louisiana ”
“N. York” (says “Onward”) was surround
ed by the enemy, and the Van Biiren flood
swelled so high as to leave scarcely* an Ar
rarat for the Aik of Republican liberty to
upon. The eye of the patriot as he
gazed around him, upon every side, us far
nk the hurizon’s verge, was greeted with a'
cheerless black sea of Lucofucoism—Van
Burcu seemed undisputed master of the Un
ion; and his baleful reign peipetual. And
so thought his'followers. But it w.as a do
j ceilful triumph—as 'deceitful as those which
I now fill wi;h a false joy the hearts of his par
tisans. Their victories now, like their vic
tories thertf are but the sure precursors of
their final overthrow.” -But Off piclis! Even
New,York is now as much against them, if
not more so, than.tlie rest.'"'She has follow
. cd in their wake, surpassing (hem all in (he
volume of her wave and* the.irresistibility'of
'her impulse—ami (here 1 is' no Arrarat left
for the Whig Ark to rest.upon. The fact
is, the great Harrison revolution 1 was effect
ed, by means'which have disgusted and a
ronsed -the people—and the reaction is ter
rible upon the humbuggershand the Pipe
Layers; Onwards has become backwards.
■ And tlre change, e/tnnge,. Which Mr. Web
ster'invoked, is converted into.-a* fearful
change upon the discomfitted and chap-fallen
1 Whigs. Yet. it is nothing but
i justice,. They well deserve the fate which

Hartty Crawford, commissioner of Indian affairs, and
Major 1). D. Mitchell, superintendent, arrived in that
-city, front the Sac and Fox agency, on the Boa Moines
liver. The Bulletin stales that tho commissioners
were unable to treat with tho Indians, notwithstand
ing the liberal oilers that were made. The Sacs and
Foxes promptly and positively refused to sell a singlo
acre,of their lands, A correspondent remarks that
‘‘this will bo a sad disappoinUiicnt to the pcoplo of l

boundaries of their territory,* and furnish an outlet to
tho emigrants that arc daily pouring in,from tho neigh

BEAUTIES OF/THE BANKING SYSTEM.
This is certainly, ns far ns Banks and other mon

Wo'cau scarce open a,newspaper witliout finding

In truth, we have been so accustomed of Jate to meet 1
with such daily evidences of the dishonesty of. men
placed within the limits of temptation, that we invol
untarily . .entertain a feeling-of disappointment when
wo peruse a journal that does not contain sdme novel
instance of that character. Habit and recent events
have so schooled us to look upon every man'connect
ed with a Bank as a rogue in embryo, or in reality,
(such is the demoralizing influence of an association
with'corporate monopolies) that we are rather surpris
ed than otherwise when we recognize an adherence to
integrity on the part of such individuals,
This is a shocking picture, but'a faithful one, of the
present state of the limes. Heaven only knows what
Bunk projectors will have to answer for in the way
of immorality, corruption and crime, and. their gener
al diffusion throughout all the ramifications of society**
13anks have proved to .our country the fruitful source
of all evil. They have turned out to be the poor man’s
curse, instead of his friend;- and, as at present man*'
aged, arc neither necessary, convenient, nor useful, |
except to the swindler, the speculator and the thief.— j
The misery, ruin and distress they have brought upon
our people are incalculable; while all the good they
have over accomplished might lie narrated in very fevy
aryl simple words. Could the thousands thby have
brought down from allludnco to beggary—could the
widows and the orphans that have been robbed of the
last dollar that stood between them and starvation—!
could the, host of trembling drunkards, of abandoned j
women, of bold scoundrels,‘confirmed ouflaws, and
novices in fulopy, occasioned by the mismanagement'
of. Bunks within the last fifty years, bo arrayed in]
, one vast arpiy before • us, what a hideous and disgust- ]
ling picture it would'present. What material for sad
and shuddering reflection! I
Thinking of these things, we came across, the oth
er duy, in an exchange paper, the following list of:
robberies; all of which have graced the anndls of Bank
ing in our country within the past year* It exhibits

its contemplation, we- think is-calculated-to satisfy

The Daily Gazette will, bo printed on a royal

intention of publishing a daily paper at tho seat of

enable us to gkve full roports of the proceedings of

placing in each House a competent stenographer,
the ability and professional experience of one of
whom at least, is universally admitted both here
and elsewhere. In._addUipn to this, we [have en-.

services of our late Washington Correspondent,
whose style of writing, the forcible, energetic,'and.
fearless inanner.in which lie laid bam tho doings

PROSPECTUS
Of the SiaUy Keystone.
Terms $2,00 for the Session.
THE undersigned being fully aware of the im
portance of having a Daily Democratic Paper,
published at the Seat of Government of Pennsyl
vania, during the sessions of the Legislature, in
compliance with the request of a number of their
democratic friends, purpose to publish the KEY
STONE DAILY, during the approaching session
on a Royal Sheet at the Tow price of two dollars
for the two cents per single copy.
The great pbj'ect’ib bo attained by the publica
tion of a Daily paper aLHarrisbiirg during the ses
sion of the Legislature, is to give Reports of the
Debates in the two Houses, on all important pub T '
lie questions, more at length than has heretofore
been customary, and to gel those reports out be
fore the public, more expeditiously than by the
slow process of- a ‘semi-weekly paper. There is
ah anxiety in the minds of the . reading public to
obtain the earliest information in regard to all pub
lic movements! and ns the measures to bo brought
forward and discussed, at the approaching session
of our Legislature, will be of the very first import
ance, to the people at largp, We conceive,that there
can bo no more suitable'time than the present,.fof
the commencement of an enterprize of this kind;
As one of the proprietors of the Keystone is a
professional stenographer, and has lorig been en
gaged as a Reporter In Congress, in the Convene
tion to amend the Constitution, and in the State
Legislature, he confidently hopes that ,he will be
enabled to conduct the Legislative Department of
the paper, in a manner entirely satisfactory to those
members whose remarks he may report" and; the
public" at- large. Ho will be assisted by compe
tent reporters, and will at all limes attend in onej
House himself to ensure-faithful and accurate re
ports of debates in the Legislature. The other
proprietor will take charge of the Editorial De
partment of the paper, arid* as ho. has heretofore
had considerable experience in conducting a De
mocratic Journal, r ia another part of the State, he
hopes to be able to make the Keystone acceptable
not only to his political triends, but to the reading
public. - ■ w
We shall also have o correspondent at Wash
ington, who will give a daily synopsis of thejju
siness transacted in the National Legislature; and
on account of all (he political movements, which
may be made at the seat of the general government.
As we shall incur, a very heavy expenditure,
over & above our own labors, in getting our Daily,
and in employing Reporters, Correspondents,
wo trust our friends throughout the Stale, will ex
ert themselves to give our paper as wide a circula
tion as possible*.

The sembwGjekly paper,will be two dollars the

Our Daily will he furnished at-two cents per

lars during the Session, lo be paid before its final
adjournment;
These prices are exlrentcly low, there being but
Utile advertising custom in the country. But, be
lieving that the Democracy of (he State will be
greatly advantaged'by an earlier and fuller circu-,
ration of political information than has heretofore
been derived from lhe Seat of Government, and
being encouraged by many of .our friends lo bo
lievd also that sufficient patronage may be,obtain
ed to save us front]any considerable loss in the en
tcrprize,vwo have concluded to take the'risk for
the'sake of the important object,in view. -
We feel great confidence in our ability at the
Seat of Government to make as pleasant and use
ful a daily paper for the general reader, as may be,
found elsewhere, ot least during tho sessions of
the Legislature and Congress; and if encourage
ment be afforded us, bur arrangements to thift end
shall bo made without regard To the cost, so that
the earliest and most accurate information on sub
jects of a public nature be procured, and the char
acter of the paper reach the proper standard of ex
cellence in ol her respects. • - •
Since the Pennsylvania Reporter was establish
ed fifteen years ago, it has yearly contained as full
raporlsmf the Legislative, Congressional, and oth-,
or official proceedings ns could be published in &
semi-weekly journal. The indention has always
been to represent all public transactions with iin-'
partiality, and in as intelligible a form as was
found practicable by close attention and freely
making tlie necessary expenditures. A daily sheet
however will afford additional ad vantages, in al
lowing greater detail in our reports, andjnore room
for miscellaneous reading; and we shall of course
accommodate our arrangements for the Sessions of
-the Legislature and Congress* to this increased
requisition at our hands. " 4
