The examination of Taylor for the Pacific Hotel massa
cre, has been progressing during the past week, but thus
far nothing has fastened the crime own hlm,and it is very
doubtful If the evidence yet to be beard, can convict the
prisoner. The excitement has greatly subsided and all
interest in the case bea ceased to exist. It is very evident,
however, that foul play was the prime cause of the disaster,
and up to the present time the vile wretch is not known.
We have not heard of any more deaths among the injured.
On Thursday last the steamer It. J. Lockwood wee do-
atroyed by fire at New Albany, on the Ohio. She was a new
boat, and was just about to round out from the wharf, on
her first and trial trip, with sotne 60 or 70 excursionists on
board, when she was discovered to be on fire. She was
run ashore and her passengers escaped. She burned to
the water's edge and sunk, being a total lose. Bhe was
built for the Missouri river trade at a cost of $42,000, and
was insured for $20,000.
The steamer Plasm, bound from Little Rock to New
Orleans, with a CO of 087 bales of cotton, was burned
last week on the Arkansas river, a few miles above Napo-
leon, and the boat and cargo are a total lose. No lives
were lost. The clerk, part owner, leaped overboard on a
plank with a large amount of money, but lost $5OO of it,
in coin. We did not learn tier value, but understand bad
au Insurance of $12,000.
Another terrible steamboat disaster and loss of life occur
red on the Alabama river. The Eliza Battle was burned at
Kemp's Lauding, near Demopolis, on last Monday, and we
regret to add thirty nine lives were lost, among whom
was Rev. Mr. Newman, of Louisville, Ky. We have not
heard the names of any others. Many were frozen to death
In the water Twelve hundred bales of cotton were also
burned.
Lucius Abbott, conductor on the Pacific railroad, charged
sometime since with embezzling the funds of the company,
and who was then arrested and gave bonds for his appear
ance, after which he abruptly loft f r parts unknown,
forfeiting his ball. returned to the city a clay or two since
and surrendered himself into the bands of the County
slarshal. lie to now in jail.
The past week hoc been a very dull I n e for local Items
Except the usual number of highway robberies, knock
downs and illsturbancea of peace, nothing has transpired .
Intelligence from Kansas reports more trouble at Fort
Scott. It Is stated that a large body of debased outlaws,
under the lend ofJim Lane, the notorious, hive attacked
that place and coinmilted many outrages. It Is further
added that three companies of the U. S. troops have been
dispatched from Fort Leavenworth to the scone of trouble,
to Il.iSt in quelling the insurrection. We are also informed
that Lane is inaugurating the reign of terror, and that
prominent pro,flaiery men are bring driven from the abo-
lid 'n strongholds. All this, however, 1100118 confirmation.
Why IF it that Congress further delays the admission of
Kansas? It is now acknowledged an administration meas
ure. and why don't the administration party in Congress
put it through at once, and forever settle this matter—
leaving the people of Kansas in a state to settle their own
difficulties in the future.
Ex-Governor King. of this State, has announced himself
as n candidate for Congress at the August election .
Jas. L. Ellingwood has resigned his position as Postmas
ter at Shelbyville, Ky.
It is rumored here that Dr. Chas. Leib has been op
pointed by the President Secret Mail Agent for Northern
Illinois.
The Democrats of Newpor , . Ky., carried the election P.r
city officers at the recent charter election.
Use. It. J. Walker's letter to the Indiana anti-Lecompton
m - eting created no unusual excitement in the minds of
the friend.. 01 the speedy admission of Kansas in this vicin
ity. In it he says: •• We have fallen upon evil times. Tine

every town, county and State rise up in their majesty to

Th r ee bridges across the Missb.sippi river now connect
St. Anthony and Minneapolis. The first in the Wire Sus
pension Bridge, completed in IS)), at the expense of $50,-
00. This is gen .rally recognized as one of the most beau.
tiful and substantial briges in the West.
The Truss Bridge one mile below, is constructed in the
most approved style, at the cost of $02,000. This is one of
the most prominent objects of interest around the Falls.
The third is a bier Bridge, built the present winter,
above the Suspension Bridge, and noon to be ready for
travel. It in 700 feet long, and contains a draw, with IL
swing of 170 feet, on a single abutment 40 feet wide—ad
mitting the largest boats that will ever get above the Falls.
It is built of wood and cost $24,000.
St. Anthony and Minneapolis are at the head of unin
terrupted steamboat navigation on the lower Mississippi,
extending a distance of 2,000 miles to New Orleans, and at
the foot of steamboat navigation on the upper Mississippi,
extending 70 nines to Sauk Rapids. Above the Rapids
navigations is easy for '2 or 300 miles. The largest class
boats have not as yet run regularly to these points from
below, on account of some bowlders above the fort, which,
at a law stage of water, render -their passages dangerous.
These will soon be removed, and navigation for the largest
packets will be unimpeded. Last year there were 62 arri.
rivals from below, bringing 4,720 tons of freight to our
levee. This is but the beginning of our commercial inter
course by river with the States below.
The steamboats Enterprise, H. 61. Rico and North Star
run between this point and Sault Rapids during the last
season.
Our trade with the upper Mississippi is destined to be
come important when commerce shall be more fully estab
lished with the Red river of the North and the immense
pine regions which nature has made tributary to us.
We were asked the other day, by a friend, for a list of
the former residents of Lancaster county, I.IOW in this city
and State, and the States adjoining, and were surprised at
the number, when we finished naming them—having no
idea that there were so many in the West. The list, of

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 11, 1858
Since my last but little legislation of a public character !
has been transacted in the Senate; the bill for the mini's-
elan of Kansas engaging the attention of that branch of
the Legislature. This, 11-absorbing
.question is however
rapidly assuming a shape that will make it a finality;
thus localizing the trouble, arresting the cry of dissolution,
raised in all sections of the country, and allowing the
political pulse to beat free once more.
Mr. Green, of Missouri, author and champion in the Sen
ate of the bill he reported from the Committee on Terri
tories, on Monday, notified the members of that body, that
on - the 15th inst., he would ask for a vote upon the long
mooted question. Mr. Green, who has heretofore been a
very quiet man, not often trespassing upon the time of
the Senate in the delivery of set speeches, has by his ceurse
upon, and management of. the question of which he is now
the acknowledged leader In that wing of the Capitol, taken
the Senate and the country by storm, and has prayed him
self more than a twitch for the keenest of the opponents of
the administration. .
'Tie now generally equceded that the bill as reported,
coupling Minnesota with Kansas under the " Lecompton
Constitution," will be passed by the Senate, without pro.
vino or amenthitent
The Charicelior of the Exchequer, Hon. J. Glancy Jones,
of the lower House, has succeeded in enlisting the atten
tion of Congress to the necessity of passing the apppropri
ation bills. In accordance with his urgent wish, the
House has palmed the bill making an appropriation for
defraying the expenses for printing, lithographing, ongra.
-vitig and binding of the books ordered by the 113 d and 31th
pongrees, amounting to $340,000.
The Consular and Diplomatic Bill has been reported from
the Committee on Nays and Means, and is now under con
sideration.
The bill authorizing the President of the United :italics
to reinstate the dropped and retired officers of the Navy,
who fell under the operations of the board of fifteen, who
sat in judgment upon their peers, has become a law. This
is but an act of justice to those gallant officers who have
been stricken from the nil) without a hearing, and they
can rest assured that 'twill be meted' out to them by the
President, in whose hands Congress has Tested their fate.
Mr. Stephens from the Select Committee of fifteen, yes
terday asked the unanimous consent of the House to
make a report; but it having been objected to by the Re
publican side of the Roues, he declared his intention of
assuming the responsibility of printing it.
This report assumes, that the committee did snot pursue
all the investigations called for in their resolution of in
structions, npon the ground that the House has no juris
diction over the subject. This report gives a truthful
history of affairs In Kansas, and concludes by recommend
ing the admission of the State of Kansas, in accordance
with the wish of the President, believing that the peace
Written, committed and extempore speeches on Kansas
are dill the order of the day in the House, and all are
anxious to give their eloquence to the country before the
questico is settled. Hon. H. M. Phillips, of the 4th Dis
trict of Pennsylvania, filled up hie hour with credit to him
self and the Dietrint he represents; and tho' his speech
NMI delivered late in the day his desk was surrounded by
members fr6m all parts of the House. Messrs• Montgom
ery, J. C. Kunkel and Grow, all of Pa., each successively
crossed his path, and at each tilt, their lances were
shivered, and they took very good care not to renew the
combat.
- .
Mr. Haskins, the only Democrat from New York, who is
opposing the administration, tried hard yesterday to clear
his skirts of the charge of desertion, but it was evident,
from his stragglings, that 'twaa an uphill task.
The Marshal of this District hasat last been appointed.
Mr. gelden being the successful applicant. This gentle
man is a Democrat of almost halta-centnry standing, and
we believe the selection will give general satisfaction tc the
citizens without regard to party. Asa pirty appointment,
'tie said not a solitary objection can be offered, and with
that view of the case, we think Mr. Buchanan has been
exceedingly fortunate in the selection. Next week will be
an exciting ore in Congress.

HEAVY DEFALCATION OF A BANK
OFFICES.
The particulars concerning a heavy defalca
tion in the Union Bank, Wall street, involving
the sum of $lOO,OOO were made public yester
day afternoon. The first book keeper of that j l
institution it appears absconded from the bank
on Monday, taking with him a large sum of
money. An examination of the boos showed
that a•series of embezzlements had been going
on for the last six or eight weeks, and that the
book-keeper was a defaulter to the tune of
$lOO,OOO. It appears, as far as we have been
able to ascertain, that the- attention of the
President and Cashier of the Bank was first
called to the dishonesty of the defaulter by
detective policeman Jos. Keefe. This officer
it appears discovered the book-keeper in the
gambling saloon N. I Ann street, on a certain
occasion. lie was then betting freely, and lost
a large sum at faro. The officer suspected that
all was not as it should be, and accordingly he
watched the movements of the individual close
ly , and found that he frequently visited the
gaining table, losing tens of thousands of
dollars in the course of a few weeks. After
carefully weighing the matter, Keefe decided
to inform the President and Directors of the
Bank of the discovery he had made concern
ing the ways and habits of their book keeper.
The officers of the Bank were loth to believe
their employee was dishonest, and consequent
ly they delayed an investigation of the case
until it was too late. Instead of arresting the
defaulter on the spot, they allowed the matter
to remain for a few days, when the book-keep
er became alarmed at the suspicious glances
that were cast upon him, and took to his heels,
leaving the Bank in the lurch. On Monday
forenoon, about lunch time, the book keeper
slipped out of the Bank, and has not since
been heard of. On finding that the suspected
was non est, the President and Cashier exam
ined the hooks of the bank. when they were
surprised on finding that the defaulter had
embezzled sums amounting in the aggregate
to $lOO,OOO. They immediately proceeded to
the Mayor's office, and laid the matter before
the chief magistrate of the city, but no relief
could be afforded them. A warrant was issued
for the apprehension of the accused; but up to
last evening the police were unable to find any
clue to his whereabouts. There are other par
ties keeping accounts in the bank who are
implicated with the defaulting book-keeper,
but their names have not yet been made pub
lie. We withold the name of the book keeper
until the matter has been more fully investi
gated. The accused is a young man of very
respectable connections. He was a fast liver,
and unfortunately for the sake of his welfare
was strongly addicted to gambling.
[From the Brockville Recorder of March 4.]
MURDER OF A WHOLE FAMILY IN
Yesterday morning, the appalling intelli•
gence reached town that a whole family had
been murdered the previouli evening, about
two miles from Dublin Corners, and about ten
miles from Brockville. On making inquiry,
we found the intelligence but too true, as it
appeared a man by the name/of Thomson,
his wife and a hired man, had been brutally
murdered by some unknown persons.
It appears that the murdered - body of Thom
son was found lying on the bed fearfully
mangled. The body of his wife was fou❑d o❑
a chair, dreadfully cut, while the body of the
hired man was found in the barn literally cut
to pieces. These are all the particulars we
could gather before going to press. Dr. Edmon
son, coroner, has left town for the purpose of
holding an inquest. It is said that Thomson
kept several railway laborers as boarders, but
whether or not any suspicion attaches to these
persons, we have not heard.
WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
WASLIINGTON, March 10.—At three o'clock
yesterday the Senate went into executive ses
sion and took up the case of Mr. Cook, the
Chicago Postmaster. The documents called
for by Mr. Douglas, and received from the de,
partments, did not substantiate one of the
charges prefered by Douglas. He had staked
his reputation to the Senate that he could
prove the charges he had made ; but he failed
in every point. After consuming - about two
hours in trying to make out a case, a vote was
taken, and Mr. Cook was confirmed by a vote
of twenty-five to eighteen. Never was a
Senator so worsted.
Advices from Commissioner Reed are of a
most encouraging nature. He hopes to con
clude his mission to China by the autumn of
this year, and return to the United States.
The President has appointed the following
cadets at large for West Point; George
McKee, Samuel M. Mansfield, Singleton Van
Buren, William B. Beebe, George N. Bomford,
William H. Betts, Charles 11. Suter, 'William
'Bartlett, Roland S. McKenzie and John It.
Blocker.
Gen. Seth Clover, of Pennsylvania, has been
appointed Indian Agent in Kansas, vice Mc-
Caslin, removed.
J. C. Spencer has been appointed District
Attorney for the Northern district of N. York,
vice Gory in.
Col. Selden, late of the firm of Selden,
Withers & Company, was yesterday nominated
by the President as Marshal of the Di strict of
Columbia.
OLD GUARD
Mr. Flinn, nominated as Navy Agent at
Washington, was also sent to the Senate by
the President.
The first Committee of Investigation ap
pointed by the House during the present
session, to wit: the one directed to inquire
into the whole subject of printing, engraving,
&c., and the alleged frau in connec
tion therewith, meet to-day for the purpose of
agreeing upon there report.
The probability is that there will be the two
reports, and that the majority will be in favor
of establishing a Bureau of Public Printing,
or a Public Printing Office, to belong to the
Government, and execute all its work. The
Reports will present a great variety of facts
tending to show extraordinary extravagance
and profligacy in the execution of this branch
of the service heretofore.
The House Committee on Territories will
probably report in favor of sending three
Commissioners to Utah with the Army, in the
hope that the Mormons will embrace the
opportunity to disavow their rebellion, and
agree to submit to the laws of the Union.
UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.—The Newark
(N.J.) Journal of the 4th inst. says:
Nine years ago to-day, a youth, eighteen
years old, was impressed into the service of a
monarch of Europe. Three years later he ar
rived at Philadelphia, having deserted and
secured a passage to this country in a Phila
delphia packet ship. Six years ago today, he
wandered about the streets of that city a
homeless wanderer, without friends, money or
wardrobe, and unable to speak a word of
English. After vainly searching for employ
ment, he attempted to commit suicide, but was
restrained. The next day he succeeded in ob
taining employment, and received thirty cents
a day for his services. In a short time his
health became impaired, and he was again
reduced to the lowest depths of poverty a n d
wretchedness. He recovered and experienced
a variety of fortunes, until we find him three
years ago upon the stage. Since that time he
has been in varied circumstances and different
kinds of business, and about a year since came
to this city with a considerable sum of money,
which he saved. He is now worth some thou
sands of dollars, and will to-night commemo
rate, together with a few of his friends, the
sixth anniversary of the failure of his attempt
at suicide, which he regards as a Providential
escape.
! • CONFESSION' OF A ITIIIRDEJIBB..
William Williams, now in our jail under
sentence of death for the murder of Hendricks,
has voluntarily made a full and free confes
sion of his guilt. He states that on the fatal
Sunday of the 3d of May, Daniel Hendricks
came to his hotise and asked for something to
drink. They drank together three times, and
both became intoxicated. Hendricks offered
to sell the watch—alluded to so frequently in
the testimony during the trial of the case—
but Williams had not the money to buy it.—
They went together up the mountain as far as
the spot where the body was afterwards found,
Hendricks having requested him to go over the
mountain with him. Williams declares that
when he first accompanied Hendricks he had
no intention nor the most remote idea of com
mitting murder. But when they reached that
part of the road where Hendricks was killed,
Williams from an evil impulse threw him
dowii and began to choke him. Whilst doing
so, Hendricks asked him, " what he had done,
that he should do so ?" and Williams replied,
" nothing ;" and still continued to throttle
him, until he became livid in the face. He
then released his hold, and got on the dead or
.dying man with his feet, and thus finished his
diabolical work. He then tore the watch from
the guard chain, rifled his pockets, and took
off a ring, which he had on at the time of his
arrest, and afterwards secreted it in the drawer
of the table at which he took his meals, in
Miller's tavern, while under arrest. One week
after that, he went up the mountain where the
corpselay and looked at it, but did not touch or
disturb it. He states that at the time they
left the house, he had no gun, nor did he at
any time fire one off near the body. He says
he cannot account for the holes and the pebble
in the body, unless the former were made by
bugs. The fact nos of the justice Of his con
viction is rendered beyond all doubt, and will
teed to remove many prejudices against the
propriety of convicting on circumstantial evi
dence. From this conviction, it appears that
the only reliable testimony in the case is the
circumstantial, whilst the positive—that rela
ting to the holes and pebble—is the doubtful.
However, this may be cleared up or be recon
ciled by future developments. As the matter
stands now, William Williams was legally
and properly convicted of the crime for which
he will suffer death on the 21st of May—just
about one year after he so ruthlessly took the
life of his unfortunate victim. We understand
that a full statement of his confession is being
prepared by one of his attorneys, and will be
published in a short time.—Harrisburg Herald.
SINGULAR ATMOSPHERICAL PHENOMENON. -
The Bingham (Mass.) Journal says:
A moot singular state of the atmosphere
was observable through the day on Monday
last, along the line of the seacost in this region
of the country. It was nothing more nor less
than a mirage, which is a scientific term to
describe that condition of the atmosphere that
produces an optical illusion, arising from au
unequal refraction in the lower strata of the
atmosphere, and causing remote' objects to be
seen double as reflected in a mirror. and to
appear as if suspended in the air. This phe
nomena was seen by thousands of persons on
the coast. ships were seen sailing in the air,
and distant parts of Cape Cod were distinctly
visible in the vicinity of Boston : large rocks
ond islands were clearly painted out tipm the
clouds, and various other singular appearances
were discerned by many eyes. We believe
the like of this has never before occurred on
this coast.
?las 13ii,i.s.—We perceive that attention is
being directed in several cities to the sub
ject of the constantly increasing bills of the
gas companies,—and from some statements
that have recently leaked out respecting the
construction of the meters, and their unrelia
bility, it is evidently time that the matter
should be investigated. Privately we hear the
same complaint in every direction. Here in
Germantown there has been special cause for
dissatisfaction. Within the last year or two,
the gas bills have increased from twenty-five
to fifty per cent.; and, if we are not mistaken,
a neighbor informed us that his bill had
doubled, without any greater consumption of
gas. Our own bills have gone up full twenty
five per cent., without adequate cause The
truth is, the gas people have us at a disadvan
t4ge. They make their own meter, of the
accuracy of which we know nothing : put what
fdrce they pleas upon the gasometer, and give
ud such quality of gas as they may see proper
to supply.
There surely ought to he, in common fair
ness, reliable gas and meter inspectors appoint
ed, in order that the community may feel
satisfied that they are not suffering either real
or imaginary wrong from those who now have
everything in their own hands.—Germantmen
Telegraph.
VENERABLE MINISTERS.-A correspondent of
the Boston Traveler says: There are fur
graduates at Darmouth college whose united
ages exceed four tandred years, viz : Rev.
John Sawyer of Bangor, Me., aged 102 years,
4 months and 9 days : Rev. Labia Ainsworth
of Jaffrey, N. H., aged 100 years and 7 months
Rev. Ethan Osborn of Fairton, N. J., aged 99
years and 6 months, and Rev Zach. Green of
Hempstead, L. 1., aged 98 years and 1 month.
The aggregate is 400 years, 6 months and 9
days. 'Messrs. Sawyer, Osborn and Green are
reported to he quite vigorous. Mr. Ainsworth
is very infirm. He has declined more rapidly
during the present winter, and his death may
be i expeeted before many weeks. He has been
paStor of the church in Jaffrey seventy-four
years.
A HEAVY FAILURE.—The very heaviest fail
ure which has ever oceurred in York, Pa., took
place on Saturday week. Mr. Alexander
Demute, one of the oldest and heaviest dry
goods and grocery merchants, failed on that
day for a large amount. His liabilities are
rated as high as $BO,OOO, and even $lOO,OOO.
He has left for parts unknown.—Harrisburg
Telegraph.
TIMES IN CHICAGO.—A New York merchant,
who has had occasion this winter to know how
business was done at Chicago, was in this city
the other day, (says the Rochester Union,) on
his way homeward from that place. He says
every thing real and personal is mortgaged.
He asserts that he found no less than eight
thousand chattel mortgages on the file in the
Clerk's office; and he further asserts that those
papers reach the personal property of nearly
every merchant and business man in Chicago.
DEATH OF MUNROE STEWART
PITTSBURG, March 10.—Munroe Stewart,
one of the McKeesport murderers, who was

in prison last night of small-pox. He had
been held for trial on another charge.
