Excitement at Taunton.
Taunton, Mass., is somewhat excited by the fol-
lowing occurrence
A few days since Charles Richmond, "Esq;, of
Taunton, was arrested and held to bail in the sum
of $5OOO, on a complaint preferred by Chas. A.
Van Zandt, for attempting to procure the murjler
of Galen Hicks, also of Taunton; and for forging
the name of Hicks to two notes of hand. The
atrocity of the charge naturally created a strong
sensation among the citizens of Taunton, where
Mr. Richmond has resided from his boyhood, and
is universally respected as an honorable and upright
man. The marks of his enterprise are visible
throughout the town, and probably no man has
contributed in a greater degree to its welfare'. Pre
vious to 1837 he wap very extensively, engaged in
manufacturing, under the firm of Crocket & Rich
mond—-but the revulsions of that period were felt
by him as well as others, and since that time he
has conducted business on a limited scale. Re
cently he has been engaged in the manufacture of
cotton goods. In December last, Mr. Richmond
failed in business, and it is. said that Mr. Hicks is
involved thereby (as endorser for Mr. R;) to an
amount exceeding $lOO,OOO.
Mr. Hicks alleges that some of the endorse- i
ments are forgeries: and a man named Charles!
Makepeace, who formerly was in the employ of j
Mr. Hicks, comes forward and says that in Octo
ber, 1840, Mr. Richmond gave to him (Makepeace)
a vial' containing Croton oil, and offered him a
large sum of money if he would administer it to
Mr. Hicks; and that about one year afterwards
Mr. Richmond gave him a vial of Prussic acid,
and then offered him several thousand dollars if he
would administer a few drops to Mr. Hicks.—
Makepeace kept this attempt at bribery a secret
until after Mr. Richmond failed, last December,and
until, in some business transactions with Mr. Rich
mond, lie considered that he had not been dealt
•with justly.
The examination of the charge of attempting
to procure the murder of Mr. Hicks took place in
the Court house at Taunton, yesterday, before the
Hon. Oliver Prescott, of New Bedford. The room
was crowded to excess ;*\he whole town seemed
to partake in the. interest of the case.
Charles Makepeace, the person whom it was al
ledged Mr. Richmond attempted to bribe to com
mit'the murder, was the only witness examined.—
He was on the stand three hours, and his testimony
was such a mass of contradiction and equivocation,
that it was deemed advisable to proceed no fur
' ther. The commonwealth accordingly entertained
a nolle prosequi on all the complaints against Mr.
Richmond, and he was discharged, amid the gene
ral rejoicings of the assemblage.
Wine.
This*.wine takes its name frqm the province in
which it is made. It takes much labor to prepare
it from the juice of the grape suitable for market.
It also takes much money lor bottles and corks,
many of the lornier breaking during -fomentation.
Ten per Cent, breaking is not regarded as a loss,
because the wine is considered better, and rises in
proportion.
M. JSqueson, a wine merchant of Chalons sur
Marne, it is said, has cellars in which he foments
his wine, more than a mile in extent, lie alone
pays lor corks yearly s3n.uo<t, which is $0,0(11)
more than the salary of the President of the United
States. What all of the merchants of the old
Province of Chanipaigne pay— corks, would de
fray the salaries of the President and Congress ;
and what all the wine growers in France employ
for that purpose, would pay all the expenses of our
Government, including the Mexican war.
A bottle of tilts wine iq the Province of Cham
paigne can be bought for about •$) cents. Now the
jolly fellows of the United State's think they tret
the best of this wine to drink: Why shouldn’t
they Don't they pay two, three and even five
dollars a bottli? ? The lidlowing fuels show them
the chance they have of drinking pure wine. With
a ticket a prifle can he calculated on with more
certainty purchase of a bottle of the wine

A Funeral Instead ok a Bridal Ceremont.—
Miss Nancy Bailey, of Merrimac, formerly employ

for the purchase of her wedding dress, bonnet, and
bridal cake, &c., preparatory to her marriage on
Wednesday next. 'She had completed her purchases,
and was on the way to the depot, Saturday evening
when the cars left. She therefore returned to the
house of a friend, Mrs. Mitchell, on Canal street,
near the Jackson Corporation. About half p- lls t
tliree on Sunday afternoon,as she sat at the window,
she threw up both hands, exclaiming, “ Why, there
is Mr. Drew P (the name of tlje young man to
whom she was to be married, and who is a resident
of Concord, Vt.) Mrs. M. went to another window,
but no one was in sight. At this moment a-crash
of glass called her attention to Miss Bailey, who
had fallen forward against the window. Help was
instantly called, and she was placed upon the bed,
but with two gasps she lay a corpse. And when
the bridegroom comes, it will bi» to lay her in the

Reminiscences of Washington. —Mr. Peter
Cotom, a respectable, bookseller of Richmond, Vir
ginia, writes to the Republican as follows:
t: In the spring of 1707, wnen Gen. Washington
was leaving the Presidential-chair, and returning
to Mount Vernon, (the seat of government was
then in Philadelphia,) I was employed-in the store
of Mr. George Keating, book-seller, in Baltimore,
as a clerk. A short time previous to the period of
which I am now speaking, Mr. Keating raised a
company, of Grenadiers, and through his kindness,
I was made Orderly Sergeant of the Company. It
was announced that Gen. Washington, on his way
to Mount Vernon, was to pass through Baltimore,
and my company ordered to meet and escort him
through the city. Qapt Keating’s company was
the only company that turned out on that occasion.
“Our company met Gen. Washington about a
mile from the (then) town of Baltimore. He was
escorted to his lodgings at the Light street ‘Foun
tain Inn.’ During the time we tfere in the long
room of the hotel, we were all introduced to Gen.
Washington, and he received us with that kindness
which was always manifested in his character. I
shall never forget the shakd of the hand which the
General gave me; Soon afterwards, I commenced
the business of book-selling in the town of Alexan
dria, (then a part of Virginia, and now a part of
Virginia—God bless old Virginia!) I received
orders from Gen. Washington for books, stationary,
&c.; during the time I was in business there. On
the 4th of July, 1799, General Washington was
invited to a dinner, made up by subscription, and
given at Spring Garden. The joke, the laugh, the
song went round, but I observed that, although Gen.
W. smiled, he never laughed.’ 1
A Curious Fact, if’it he a Fact. —A corres
pondent of one of the Cincinnati papers states that
the Buena Vista battle field is still covered with
bones, coats, pants, shoes, knapsacks, &c. And
what is .most singular of all is, that a few Mexi
cans who were left unburied, arc still on the battle
field entire. Neither putrefaction nor the wolves
prey upon them, but they are dried up like mum
mies. The only way he has heard it explained is,
that the Mexicans cat so much pepper that it pre
serves their bodies from putrefaction, and at the
same time spoils them for the taste of wolves.—
Certainly tfiey do not decay, and the wolves will
not prey upon them. This is a good story, but
about as fanciful as any which we have seen for a
long time.
HT* The following is given as Gen. Houston’s
opinion of the Treaty: lie says, four fellows got
together without any manner of authority, and
having nothing better to do, agreed to make up
what they pleased to call a Treaty. Four copies
were made; one was sent to the Britisli Charge
d’Affaires at —another to the French
Minister—a third to Wall street, and there being
no special demand for the last, they sent it to
Washington.

He who reads his great poetical pamphlet, the
Absolom and Achitophel, after having previously ac
quainted himself with the history and characters of
the time, will perceive that, however he may have*
admired it before,he may still be said never to have
read it; and he will neither wonder at the great
name which the poet has transmitted to posterity,
nor deny him the highest prerogative of genius—the
power of stamping on his works the impression of
immortality.— Professor Smyth on History.
