[Fr< m the Philadelphia Sun, of Thursday.] Terrible Tragedy in Philadelphia. About half past 5 o'clock yesterday after noon a terrible tragedy was enacted at the St. Lawrence Hotel ' No. 101S C'liesnut street, which resulted in the death of Richard Car ter., a resident of Tamaqna. The deceased was a native of England, was about 47 years of age, and lias beeen in this country about twenty.live years, lie was engaged in the coal trade with the firm of J. & It. Carter, and was also the President of the Anthracite Bank, of Tamaqna. He has been in the habit of visiting 111 is city frequently, and always, we believe, so journed to the St. Lawrence Hotel. He ar rived iu the city about 11 o'clock yesterday, and at half past 5 was a dead man. The af fair created an iutcuse excitement, and the thousands of persous were attracted to the Hotel for the purpose of obtaining informa tion and seeing the body. Their curiosity in the latter resjiect was not, however, gratified, as the body was placed in a room and locked up. Mr. Carter was an athletic man, stand ing about six foot two inches and weighing, we should suppose, ovir 200 pounds, lie was a married man, but has no issue by his wife. His wife is at her home in Tamaqna, and the sad news of the death of her husband was telegraphed thither. The prisoner gives the name of Thomas Washington Smith. He is a line looking limn and, when taken in custody by officer Albright of the reserve corps, was in a high state of ex citement. After being conducted to the May or's office he was asked what we had upon him when he said "a pen-knife and some papers." He was then told that must submit to be searched, when he said, "his word was his bond, but they might search him." We learn the following statement, which was made to an officer by Smith, shortly after the arrest. " A short time since I made the acquaint ance of a young female at a seminary, and took her for a virtuous woman. Mr. Carter represented her to ine as being his adopted daughter or ward. I married the girl, and shortly afterwards discovered that she was Carter's strumpet, he, Carter, while represent ing himself as her foster father, u.-ing her as strumpet. She was delivered of a child about 4 months after I married her. Mr. Car ter claimed to be a man of honor, and occupy ing a highly respectable position, I reposed every confidence in him. Having been cruelly deceived by this gross outrage, I was deter mined to be revenged. This statement was rapidly made while the prisoner was in a high state of excitement. About 7 o'clock the prisoner was brought up before Aid. Eneu, for a hearing. As sev eral witnesses were examined at this hearing who were afterwards heard before the inquest, we only give the cxidence of those not exam ined on the two investigations. The Mayor's office was densely crowded, every space being occupied. Officer Albright testified to arresting the accused, and taking from him a bowie knife, (the blade of the knife is about II inches in length, and is very heavy. It was encased in a sheath of red morocco, upon which was written in ink, " Tom Wash. Smith, I)e Bowes Review, N. 0, and Washing, 1). C.) A Colt's six chamber revolver was also taken from the accused. After the hearing, Smith said to the Aider man ; " 1 acknowledge that 1 killed the man." Alderman Enen told the accused that lie would no doubt be tried for his life, and he ur gently advised hint to keep quiet. The prisoner then struck his breast in a rap id manner, and said, " I stand here, sir, as an honest man." He was taken down stairs, and placed in a cell. Lieut. Dickhait was charged with con veying the accused to prison. After the com ment was given to the Lieutenant, lie went to the accused and requested him not to commu ideate with liirn on the subject of murder. Smith was then placed iu a cab, ami J riven rapidly to prison. On the route, ho told the Lieutenant if that woman and his knife were sent to liirn at his cell, he would not trouble the law. The jury rendered a verdict that the de ceased came to his death from injuries re ceived by pistol shot wounds fired by the hands of Thomas Washington Smith, at the St. Lawrence Hotel, on the 4th of November, 1857. Smith boarded at the Madison House, in Second street, above market, and on his way to prison told officer Albright he might have the pistol, and he wonld find the accoutre ments belonging to it, at the above named house. There is still one barrel loaded in the pistol. It, together with the knife, which has been recently, is in the hands of the Coroner. f>n his way to prison he said, " Why, the rascal even said he was going to see my sister." We learn that Smith consulted David Web ster, Ksrj., a short time since, on the subject of obtaining a divorce from his wife. He is a Marylander by birth, having been born in Ce cil county, says he lias hosts of friends in the county. His position, as agent of f)e Howe, would seem to warrant this statement as being true. When his wife shall be hunted op, no doubt there will souie important evidence ad duced from her. The Phil adelphia Bulletin gives the past history of all the parties, all follows : Mr. Carter was an Englishman !>y birth, and when he first came to Schuylkill County, some years ago, lie began to work as a miner, lie saved money, and became a largo property holder and a man of influence, llis wife, who is also English, is some ten rears older than he was, and they never had any children A few years aero he became acquainted with a Mr. John McCauloy, residing in Luzerne Co. whom he assisted in business. Mr. MeCaulev had a young, intelligent, handsome, daughter, in whom Carter became interested, and he had her placed in a seminary at Wilmington. He used to aceoinpany her to and from Wi!- miugton, stopping frequently at Philadelphia, his wife not being informeil of his movements. At school, Miss MeCaulev was understood to be his uiece. It is presumed that a guilty inter course between them was iroin ,r on all this time Mr. Carter is about 45 years of age. About a year ago and while Miss McCau ley was still at Wilmington, she became ac quainted with Mr. Smith, through a sister of the latter, who was a teacher at school. Mr. Suii'li v\ as fascinated by her ami proposed mar riage, which she, being rather of a fast char acter, accepted. The marriage took place at M ilmington. liiose best acquainted with Carter, believe, that instead of wishing her to marry Smith, he was opposed to it ; that he was himself sincerely attached to her ; that lie wished to have her to himself, and that lie would have married her if it had been possible. Soon after the marriage Smith discovered that his wife was far advanced in pregnancy, and he refused to live with her. A seperation took place, and Mrs. Smith was provided for by Carter. She gave birth to a child eiglu or nine months since, and is living with it in a town near this city, where she lias been well taken care of by Carter. Mr. Carter bore the reputation of being loose in his moral principles in his younger days, and his conduct towards Miss McCauley more recently gave rise to considerable scan dal. He was in the habit of having her to meet her on Saturday, at a hotel in this city, and after remaining there over Sunday, she would return on Monday to school. They al so traveled to Niagara and other places.— Smith alleges that his intimacy was kept up after their marriage, and lie also informed Lieutenant Dickhart, while on the road to prison, last night, that in the conversation at the hotel yesterday afternoon, Mr. Carter told him that he intended to visit his (Smith's) sis ter at the school at Wilmington. Smith was at one time engaged as a clerk in the store of his victim, at Tamaqna. He was doubtless under the impression that Miss McCauley was an adopted daughter of Mr. Carter. The acquaintance was formed through the agency of Miss Smith, at the school Miss Smith bears a most excellent reputation, and she had not the slightest suspicion of the real character of Miss McCauley. The latter is now with her relatives iu Chester County.— Her father resides in Luzerne Couuty. SERMON BY A MISSIONARY FROM SYRIA.— The Ilt'V. 11. 11. Jcssnp, a missionary of tlit* American Hoard, at Tripoli, Syria, and son of Judge Jessnp, of Montrose, was in this City on Sunday and preached in the morning at I lie' Green 11i11 Presbyterian Church, and in the evening at Calvary Church, in Locust street. Mr. Jessnp's inornir.g discourse was exceed ingly interesting, it was founded on the text from Jeremiah : " Tiiey have forsaken the fountains of living waters, and hewn out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water." The subject was the state of moral degradation which the entire East has fallen into in consequence of their desertion of true Christianity The Mahometan religion was taken as a fair specimen of the religions of the East, and the speaker told just what he ' himself had seen and heard of tllat religion at ■ the scene of his labors, there were from ten to ' fifteen thousand followers of the false prophet. j The sketch was a striking and impressive one, ' and was followed by a practical application of great force. A chapter of the Xew Testament was read previous to the discourse, and the landmarks and Eastern customs referred to in it were ex plained with a force which such expositions do not generally possess, except from the lips of of those who have actually passed through the sacred scenes which they describe. We understand that Mr. and Mrs. Jessup set out for the scene of their l abors in Syria in the course of few weeks.— l'/tila. Bulletin. R.vvin Wti.uoT—No office in the gift of the people could add a paf.tidc of lustre to the name of this great and-.glorious bearer of Ire doin's standard. lie is defeated, because lie is a giant Statesman and embodiment of great living principles. Henry t'lay was defeated, and so was William Wirt, and John (juiucv Adams, and Daniel Webster, and W infield Scott, and John C. Fremont. And yet there are hut few really intelligent or patriotic men who do not honor either of these names more than that, of John Tyler, David 11. Dorter, \\ illiani Bigler, James Buchanan or poor Fierce 1 David Wilmot can not be brought down by any defeat like that of Tuesday. He is the same he was before—fearless, honest and free. He is ready for the next fight for Free dom and Protection, and he will yet lead the Patriotic army of Free Republicans to perma nent and glorious victory.— Muirh Chunk Ga zelle. XKWS FROM KANSAS —Sr. Loirs, Thursday, Nov. f>.—A letter in the St. Louis Democrat. dated Lecoinpton, Nov. 2, says that Walker had left there a few days before, and his desti nation was thought to lie for Washington.— It is stated that Walker's object in stationing tlie troops at Leconipton was not exactly to protect the Convention, nor to watch and lie prepared for any action his Pro-Slavery ene mies might take against liitu ; but because the Legislature liavimr a large Free State ma jority, they will probably repeal'thc obnoxious laws and depose the office holders ; in which ease a repitition of the bloody scenes in the early history of the Territory is apprehended. The Constitution will be submitted to the peo ple, with a Slavery clause which will be ob jectionable to the Free-State men aud too moderate for the Pro-Slavery nltraists. KI.KCTIOX FRAUDS IN KANSAS. —The follow ing paragraph, which we copy from a Kansas letter, (says the Pittsburgh Commc>rial Jour nal,) is quite interesting and suggestive : On Governor Walker's return from the Precinct of Oxford, he halted at Lawrence, and taking out of his portfolio a large roll of paper, said to the crowd liiat he would show them the curiosity, if they promised not to destroy it He then unrolled the returns of the precinct of Oxford, (in Kansas) which con tained one thousand six hundred and one names, all written in the same handwriting, and which measured exactly* fifty four feet in length ! All the name*, except one hundred and twenty, were copied from " Williams" Ciucina'ti Directory," those commencing with the>aim- letter following each other as regu larly as they do on the pages of that book ! FIIOM WASIIINOTOX. —Saturday, Nov. 7.- The War Department has just received dis patches confirmatory of previous reports that the Mormons are bent on a resistance of the I nited States troops.

The citizens of this place, for the purpose of intellectual improvement and recreation, dur ing the coining winter, have organized a Ly ceum, which meets every Tuesday evening, at the public School House. The next meeting will be on Tuesday evening, and the following has been selected as a subject for discussion. " lles<,lceil, That the Drama has a salutary influence." The ladies are particularly solicited to at tend and a general invitation to the public is extended. The exercises are both interesting and entertaining. PUBLIC LECTURE. Rev. THOMAS K. BEECHER lias been invited by flie Alpha Kpsilon Society to lecture in the Court House, ou Monday evening, ami will de liver his celebrated Lecture on " RLAY." • The price of admission, to defray expenses, will be 25 cents. This is the Grst of a course of popular lec tures which it is proj>osed to give in this place daring the winter. The success attending this, will in a great measure determine the success of the enterprise We trust that our citizens will take enough interest in such a laudable undertaking, to demonstrate its practicability and place its success beyond a question. Mr. BKKCHKR has a widely extended reputation as a popular lecturer, and we have no hesitation in saying that those who attend will be more than satisfied. Besides, every citizen should feel an an interest in sustaining an attempt so praiseworthy and profitable. Neighboring towns, with resources not equal to ours, are able to enjoy the pleasure of hearing the most popular lecturers of the day, and wc trust for the credit of the place, that such an opportu nity for general improvement will not lie al lowed to be a failure for want of public interest and patronage. fey The trial of Frederick Cueva for the murder of Oscar I)e Granval, which has been going 011 in the Hudson County Court, New York, before Judge Ogden, for the last eight days, was concluded on Wednesday night.— The jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter. They were only absent two and a half hours. The prisoner will lie sentenced on Wednesday of next week. THANKSGIVING DAY. —Eleven States unite in the appointment of Thursday, Nov. 2t>, as a day of Thanksgiving.

He transmits a draft for $(J,41l to ' cover the quarter's expenditures, hut adds that he has little hope of its acceptance, two quar ters being already in arrears, lie inquires why the Government refuses to recognize his authority in the Indian Supcrinteudency in the , Territory, and administers a series of sharp rebukes. He avers that the scurvy treatment of the Indians by overland emigrants is a fruit ful source of mischief among the tribes, and that the reported march of the troops towards Utah only aggravates the evil ; and adds a recommendation that travelers omit their ne farious practice of " shooting down an Indian whenlthey happen tosee one." BRIGIIAM YOUNG is silent on Mormon affairs. THE AMERICAN' AGRICULTURALIST. —We take pleasure in recommending the American Agri culturalist to our farmer friends. It is a good useful and readable paper, and one which should be a welcome visitor to the fireside of eve-* ry farmer in the land. It contains good reading for the Gardener, the Horticulturist, the Fom ologist, the Florist, and even for the general reader who, though no cultivator of the soil, yet delights in the pleasant details of soil cul ture. Take our word for it, brother farmer, than one dollar a year invested in the Ameri can Agricultural ist, published in New York by Orange Judd, will be the most profitable speculation yen can make with that amount of money. r-arTl'ic Syracuse (X. Y.) Courier says the salt business is greatly depressed. A compa ratively small port-ion of this season's yield has been shipped, and manufacturers generally are in straightened circumstances. SINGULAR CASK. —For some time past, a case of alleged lunacy has been lingering in the courts of N'ew York city, the details of which have furnished rich food for the scan dal mongers. Yesterday, in court, it came to a sudden and unexpected conclusion. While a lawyer was arguing in favor of the the re lease of the female, Mrs. Caroline Woodman, of the insane asylum, at the suit of her friend, Mr. Furniss, the proceedings were interrupted by the appearance of the brother of Mrs. W., who handed to the court an application signed by his sister, requesting that the proceed ings in her name should terminate, as she had arranged matters amicably with her husband, was about to return to her father's home in Mississippi, with her brother. The ease then ended, but we lind in the New York Post of last evening, an affidavit sworn to by Mrs. Woodman, which furnishes a history of the wrongs she has suffered at the hands of the man Furuiss, who assumed to be her friend.— - The narrative is quite long, and furnishes one of the most lamentable instances of human de pravity and cruelty on record. It seems that she she has been for more than a year follow ed, tortured, seduced, beaten, robbed, without mercy, in Paris, Uoston, New York, Philadel phia, New Orleans, and other places, at hotels, and private houses. She was taken to Paris by her husband afi invalid, and left there to undergo skillful medical treatment while his business obliged him to return home. She there got acquainted with Furniss, who ac quired a power over her reputation through weakness, which he ever afterwards used to ex tort money. She there loaned him six hun dred dollars. Corning to A meriea he borrowed, extorted, and stole from her money, jewels, Sir., all the time, when she did not give him what lie asked, he beat and abused her.— Sometimes he raised disturbances in her rooms at hotels, to force her to give him money.— J'y some strange infatuation she suffered all this in silence, keeping it from the knowledge of her husband, until at last the latter aeei dently found it out. Her incarceration in an insane asylum was done to keep her out of Furniss' clutches as her husband could no lon er live with her. TiiKPnnr.tr'> MvftnEß TRIM..— The case of Charles I>. Phillip?, tried at West Chester last week, before Jpdgc Haines, for the mur der of .T. Cleaver Bartholomew, near Paoli, Chester county, resulted in the verdict of man slaughter. The trial attracted great attention the murder of Bartholomew being committed in May last, under circumstances and in a man ner, which, at the time of its commission, pro duced a great sensation. The prisoner was de fended by Thaddeus Stevens, Joseph J. Lewis •and John Hickman, Esqrs. and the prosecu tion was conducted,by Wm. Butler, the Pros ecuting Attorney. The jury were out seven hours, at flic end of which they returned a ver dict of Manslaughter. lie has not yet been sentenced. The penalty is imprisonment not less than two or more than six vears. AN 17x WORTHY EXAMPLE. —The " National Democrats'' of Lecoiupton, true brethren of the party of that ilk in Pennsylvania, have held a meeting to denounce Governor Walk er for beiivg so undemocratic ;is to reject a fraudulent election return. They had resolved as follows ; " That this meeting will not imitate the un worthy example of tlm Governor and Secre tary, by going into an investigation of the fact as to whether the Oxford returns contain ille gal votes or not."' We have thus high democratic authority for saying that to inquire into the illegality of'elec tions is an " unworthy example" for democrat ic office holders to set. W hat an abandoned party it must be which stigmatizes au honest act as being "unworthy," Another sale of public lands has been made in Minnesota, under circumstances sim ilar to those attending the sale of the Fort Snelling Reservation. A tract of the best land in the Northern Mississippi, known as the Fort Ripley Reservation, consisting of 57,000 acres, was recently purchased by a combina tion of speculators at an average price of four amis au acre, —s2,2Bo- in all. The Post Office Department lias de cided that under under the present laws post tnasters aie uot compelled to receive cents in payment for either postage or postage stamps, nor from any one person at any one time more than thirty cents in three cent coin. All be yond this I'cAs in their discretion. Governor Walker's Second Proclamation. Three days after Governor Walker's first proclamation Was issued, rejecting the so end ed election returns from the Oxford pfeelfict in Johnson comity, a second proclamation, was is sued setting aside the returns from three pre cincts in NlcGee county, on account, as the Governor expresses it, of " the monstrous fraud*," there perpretratcd. Governor Wal ker has endeavored to tulfil, as lar as the re turns arc concerned, the promts of impartiali ty which he originally made to the free-state men of Kansas. These proclamations at lirst surprised and then exasperated the border ruf fians. A a meeting of the " National Demo crats assembled/" astlicy say, " in Lecomptou" on the day after the first proclamation was promulgated, resolutions were passed in denun ciation of the Governor, and calling on the President to recall him in disgrace for an al ledged transgression of instructions, and as* sumption of authority. This charge is founded upon the fact that there is a parliamentary rule which provides that s legislative body may determine upon the qualifications of its mem Iters. On the other hand, it is argued that the organic law of the territory, requiring the Governor to give certi ficates of elei tion to those candidates having a majority of legal rafts, constitutes that officer a judge of the returns. From intimations which have been permit ted to become public, it appears that the ad ministration has resolved not to punish Gov ernor Walker by a formal removal, but to con sure him in snch a manner as to compel 1 his resignation. By a despatch received this morning, we learn that lie left Kansas yester day for Washington, where he will have an opportunity of repljiftg to the charges of the border-ruffian party, and of learning the views of the administration in regard to his policy.— Evening Post. AII-WA-OA HOUSE. —We are glad to announce to the numerous friends of the Ah-wa-ga House, Mr. IJrower and Ren Wilcox, that Ren and IJrower have entered info partner ship—the Ah-wa-ga to be henceforth under the firm of IJrower fc Wilcox. This, if any thing- can, will add to the fame of the Ah-wa-ga as a well kept, comfortable, first class Hotel, second to none on the line of the New York A Krie Rail Road. Mr Wil <• >.\ has been for the last ten years engaged in Hotel Life, and can boast of many warm friends and aequantancee. In Ithaca, when the right hand man of Col. Seymour, he stood among the most esteemed and respected, and when the Colonel came to the Ah-wa-ga, Ben Wilcox came also. Since then the traveling public on the line of the New York A Erie, and the citizens of this County, have known and valued his warm yet gentlemanly attention and never failing vigilance. The comfort, convenience and taste of his guests appear to be his special study, and none who have expe rienced Ids kindly and respectful attentions will likely exchange them for any other. We congratulate Mr. Brower on this impor tant acce.-aion. It will materially relieve him from many of the most ares inci dent fo the important position which lie holds, enabling liiin to throw IV* personal snpervision of the thousand and one details of Hotel man agement on younger shoulders—on a person whose experience iii catering to the public taste is excelled onlv bv Mr. Brower himself. The large number of permanent boarders, including s -veral families of the highest respec tability, and the numerous guests that crowd the bountifully supplied and elegantly laid ta ble are the best criteron to judge of the popular ity of tlie Ah-wa-ga House under the supervi sion and management of Grower A Wilcox.— Ouegu Tunes. A CASK OK TiuNsFr-uov. —A woman's life was curiously preserved by her husband in Stafford-hire, England, lately by the process of transfusion. She lay at the point of death, as a last resource a vein was opened in her arm, by Dr. \\ lieateroff, surgeon <>f Cbannoek and one in the arm of her husband, and as the blood flowed from the latter it was transmit tal by snitable apparatus to the vein of the wife. After seventeen ounces had been thus injected the pulse became perceptible and the colorless lips reddened, the glassy eye bright ened, and she thankfully said : " i am better." The case lias progressed very favorably, and the woman is recovering. PHOT AT. — A iwan who was watching an eel ware in the Lackawanna river near this village was shut at by an unknown person about twelve o'clock on Sunday night last. He was not seriously injured, bnt it was what a sports man would denominate a " lond call." He felt a sensation as of hot iron being drawn across his body, followed instantly by the re port of a gun. He was considerably frighten ed, of course, but the extent of the damage consisted only in a red streak across his waist made by the passage of the ball, and a loss of a portion of his vest. — Krranlon Republican, Some excitement was occasioned in Phila delphia, on Saturday, by an application made by the Directors of the Bank of Pennsylvania lor an attachment against the' property'of Mr- Allibonc, late President of that institution.

It is now alleged in the affidavit of the Directors that he absquatnlated with £2OO, 009 of funds belonging to the Bank, and an attachment is asked to cover the loss. It is asserted that certain brokers in Philadelphia were privy to the frauds alleged to have been committed.
