Col. John Wilder Shot Down in Kansas City Without n Word of Warning.. I From thejlansas City ( Mo.) Journal, Mitrchit).l ,is with:feelings of the most intense horror and indignation that we chronicle the brutal ' and unprovoked murder of Colonel John Wil der, senior editor of the Journal, yesterday, in broad daylight. As far as we can gather the facts, Colonel Wilder was standing at the northeast end of the hallway which runs through the Court House, in conversation With Mell H. Hudson, the City Clerk. The murderer, James H. Hutchinson, engaged in a conversation with Mr. ,Sol S. , Smith, and pointing to Mr. Hudson and Colonel Wilder, asked if "that - man was not Wilder ?" Mr. Smith told him he did not knorv. He then drew a revolver from his breeches pocket, cocked it under his coat, and walked rapidly toward Col. Wilder and Mr. Hudson. When within about sixteen feet of them he muttered, "Now, sir, defend yourself," and fired, the ball striking Col. Wilder in the breast, and travel ing in a diagonal direction toward the heart. Col. Wilder did not at first seem to realize that he was mortally wounded, as he walked through the hall toward the Recorder's room, where two gentlemen, one of whom. be recog nized and called by name, assisted him into the City Attorney's office, in the northwest corner of the Court-house. Here he was laid on the floor, and Drs. Bennett, Morris, Porter, Dickson and Woodson, were speedily in attend ance. Their skilful efforts, however,were of no avail, for in about twenty minutes he breathed his last. After firing the , fatal' shot, the -murderer cocked pistol a second time. OfficerslO'Hare and Halpin, and Marshal Keck beard the shot and advanced to arrest Hutchinson, who re treated a few steps and pointed his revolver, but Officer Halpino - clasping him from behind, he was secured before he could do further mischief. He was taken into the Recorder'S Court room and searched, when two revolvers were taken from him. He was then; to keep him from the crowd, taken down stairs and locked up: The pistol with which the murder was committed is of the old Smith & Wesson pattern, Pond's make, a six-shooter. All the ehrimbers were loaded, and only one was dis- charged. Col. Wilder was born in Concord, Mass., about 1836. He entered Union College, at Schenectady, N. Y., where he was graduated with high honor in 1857. He was subsequently graduated at the Harvard Law School,and prac ticed law in Btiston and vicinity until the breaking out of the war. In the year 1862 he entered the army as a private in a Massachu setts regiment, but was rapidly promoted until he attained the rank of colonel—He was at one time in command at Key West, Florida. After the close of the war he remained awhile in North Carolina, in the practice , of his profes sion, where be met with signal success. In February, 1867, he came to Kansas City, where he has since resided. Soon after his ar rival he purchased this paper and became its editor. From that time to this his history and labors have been part of the history andlabors of this growing city, and are well known. He held the position of Professor of Medical Ju risprudence in the College of Physicians and Surceons, and delimed the opening address at the inauguration of that enterprise. With larg,er possibilities and promise he has been suddenly cut off in his early manhood, and the work he stood ready, to do for us now seeks other hands. Pennsylvanli, Leah+blau,*. The Pennsylvania Senate was not in session Yeiterday. The House of Representatives met last even ing. Mr. Adaire presented the report of the Committee appointed by the House in the early. part of the session, to ascertain whether the funds of the State Treasurer had been mis managed, and whether corruption had been used to elect a State Treasurer. They said that 'a Senate Committee had been busy in ascertaining the facts about the State Treasury, and that it had not been possible for the House Committee to fix the charge of corruption upon any person in connection with the election.of State Treasurer. The Committee offered a resolution appropriating nine hundred dollars to pay their expenses, which was laid over. 'Mr. Miller introduced a bill authorizing masters, auditors and examiners to have power to sub puma witnesses and compel their attendance. Mr. Dailey, a bill preventing laborers, me chanics or real estate brokers from being de frauded of their commissions or wages. Mr. Elliott, a bill relative to mechanics' liens, pro viding that when buildings are erected by con- tract, the building and ground shall be liable to the contractor alone ft r work done and mate rials furnished. When the contractor neglects to pay the persons employed by him it shall be their duty to notify tile owner in writing, and the owner shall thereupon retain so much of the amount due from the contractor. Mr. Bunn, a bill authorizingjuries in eases of felony punishable with death to render a verdict that the prisoner shad either suffer death or may be imprisoned at hard labor for a term not less than fifteen years. or the natural life. No prisoner to be sentenced to death unless the jury shall so determine. Also a bill that when Councils shall fail to pass an appropriatitin bill for the School Department before December 3st, such failure should be construed to be a renewal of the appropriation of the current year fur the year next ensuing.

NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Rule of the Monk ; or, Rome in the Nineteenth Century.„ By General Garibaldl.--- At first sight , this piece of rhndomontade is a not very different performance from the per- • formances of Emerson Bennett and Sylvanus Cobb, Jr. There are the same abductions, romantic flights, superb. brigands, and heroic stage-battles: CliaPters bear such romantic and liquorish headings as The Conspiracy, The Beautiful Stranger, The Subterranean Passage, The Spy in Venice, or The Cairolis and their Seventy Companions. The..lovely daughter° of the strong-armed sculptor loses ensnared by the beastly Cardinal Procopio.This monster's penultimate victim meanwhile goes mad upon his slaughtering his and her child, and is not rescued from the dungeons beneath the convent but at an immense fictive ex pense of toreblight,winding stairs,torture-cham hers filled with corpses, profligate abbesses, et ccetera. in short, there is the whole machinery come down from Otranto, in its oiliest and glibbest condition. Adventures do very strong could only appeal, to a reader unambitious : of being harrowed, if set forth in a style of some distinction, or else If interspersed with a good deal of didaCtic matter which might be sup posed personal to the writer. But the distinc tion has in translation completely vanished from Garibaldi's prose,and even his philosophy is set forth in a style that is a kind of travesty of the letters which come from time to' time out of Victor Hugo's inkpot,—just as we have noticed in Garibaldi's manifesto and broad-, side eloquence a gaudy imitation of Napoleon Bonaparte. The book, we ought to say, Improves as It goes forward, and it gives the reader's blood a sort of heroic shock to re member that the insurrectionary action of Oc tober, 1867, with which the tale concludes— however incoherently narrated, and however redolent of a kind of N. Y. Ledger sublimity —is actually for better for worse the rehearsal of the hero of it, who calls himself theatrically The Recluse. An Appendix contains an interesting but too oratorical account of the Montana campaign by Ricciotti Garibaldi. This book must be read with a little cosmopolitan charity; in it, as in the Italian railway-carriage in which we traveled with him three years ago, Gari baldi drapes himself, and red-shirts himself, .and velvet-caps himself, a good deal too much for a strict Saxon taste; bitt we should re member that it is an Italian appealing to the people of Italy. The hero is best as an author in passages like the following: GARIBALDI ON ARMY PANICS On the other band, bow contagious is fear. I have seen whole'armies seized by a terrible panic in open day at a cry of " Escape who can ;" " Cavalry;" " The enemy," or even the sound of a few shots—an army that had fought, and would again tight, patiently and gallantly. Fear is shaareful and degrading, and I think the southern' nations of Europe are more liable to it than the cooler and more serious peoples of the north ; but never may I see an Italian ai my succumb to that sudden ague-lit which kills the mon, even though he seems to save his lite thereby ! ABANDONMENT OF THE WOUNDED. And the wounded? At ! if there be a cir cumstance that is hamm lug and terrible in those butcheries of men called "battles," it is certainly that of abandoning one's own wounded to.the enemy! Poreri ! L, one moment the faces of your friends—of your brothers, who bewailed your hurt, who tended you with such gentleness, will disappear, to be succeeded by. the revolt ing, horrible, and triumphant faces of the mer cenalies. At the best they will be brutal.; at the worst, they, infringing every right of war and of people, will sleep their base bayonets in your precious blood ! tits ovi 0; or THE DUEI.I.O. What shall we say of duelling? 1 have al ways thought it, disgraceful that men cannot come to an understanding without killing one another. But, on the other hand, it is not time for us, who are still oppressed by the pow erful of the earth, still the despised of Europe, to preach individual or general peace, to advo cate the forgiveness of privase outrages, when we tue often so publicly outraged. Wei :Who' are trampled upon in our rights, our con sciences, our honor, by the vilest section of our nation—we, who, hr order to be allowed life, consideration and protection, are com pelled to debase ourselves, must not quite despoil ourselves of our one protection! Away with duelling, - then, when we shall have, a lloestitution a well-organized Government—when we shall enjoy our rights within as well as without, ; but, in the present dangerous times for honor and right, we can not proclaim peace. ' HUMAN AMELIORATION. I who write this am well persuaded of the truth of the perpetual amelioration of the hu man race. lam wholly opposed to the - cynic and the pessimist, and believe with all my heart and soul in the law of human progress by vari ous agencies, under many fornis, and with many necessary interruptions. Providence has willed that happiness shall be the final end of this sad planet, and suffering race; but its de crees work slowly, and only by the submission of mankind to the higher law of light is happiness attainable. Not by miracles will men become regenerated. Voltaire has well said— ,' J'en - ai vaincu plus d'un, je n'ai force per . sonne, Et le vial Dieu, won ills, Est un Dieu qui pardomie." If humanity does not improVn along with the progress of knowledge, as it:sbould do, : the fault must lie with the various',. gpVeminents, for with kind treatment and jodlcions care, even the wild beasts of the,. forest: become do mesticated, and their fierce .pasSions are tamed.

Hail; brave Mexicans! We envy, your valor and constancy in freeing your land from thp mercenaries of despotism! Accept, gallant de scendants of Columbus, from your Italian brethren, congratulations On your redeemed liberty!, On you was 'to be imposed a like tyranny, and you swept it away, as a noble and free river sweeps away impurity. . We alone -talkative, presumptuous, vain, boasting of glory, liberty, greatness—are yet enchained l—blindfolded,freeing ourselves with words, but unlit, to accomplish, by deeds that political reconstruction which alone would give us the right to sit down beside the other free nations. Trembling before the despotism of an unrighteous foreign tyrant, we dare not, for fear of him, walk ahout in our own homes, tell the world we are our own masters,or tear from our wrists the fetters which he has fixed there ; and, more humiliating and degrading still, he has left the prey, which the indignation of the world forbade his appropriating, and has said, " Keep her, cowards ; become cut-throats in my stead; but beware of meddling with my will !"

We htwie at various times, says the Pall Mall Gazette, given a warning account of the Buffo Scilla banks. The following letter from one of our describes the burst ing of the bubble : FLORENCE, Sunday, Feb. 20. The great subject of conversation here is the catastrophe of the banks at Naples, of which your readers have doubtless heard something already. The first of these establishments was opened some time back by a certain M. Run •Scilla, whose success was such that he had soon as many, as eighty imitators. For a time 'everything went on swimmingly. Fifteen per cent. per month was the, least that was Offered to the deposi tors; those who were last in the field vying for the favor of their dupes by even still more magnificent promises. It is true that seve ral journals from the first called the whole scheme by its right name, warned the police to be vigilant, and. implored the interference of the Government to save the people from their own folly. Still a large portion of the public preferred to believe the bankers; the depoSits went on increasing; and the very evening before the bubble burst worthy people could be heard condemning the conduct of the press as an unfair attack on the credit of a man who was enriching his countrymen in the easiest and most agreeable manner possible. It was true the profits offered seemed large, and, if you choose to say so, incredible; but not more so than the re sources and the genius of M. Scilla. The next 'nothing came the news that M. Scilla was, with his comrade Costa, in his proper place, in gaol. Of his eighty competitors forty have been already arrested, eight are in hiding, and the rest for the time continue their payments - underthe - strict surveillance of the police. The sums intrusted to the banks are said to have amounted to nearly 3,000,0001. sterling, the moneys seized to about 300,0001. The telegrams which had been sent to the. provinces began to produce 'their effect on Wednesday, by the arrival of crowds of depo sitors-in the,city, hoping to save something out of the wreck of their little fortunes. In-some districts the number of the travelers was so large that two engines had to he put on to the trains, just as is the case on the occasion of a grand spectacle at Naples. All these country people, as fast they arrived, took their stand round the offices of the defaulting banks, and could be seen, with countenances of stupid despair, gazing upon the scene of their mis fortune. Among them were a number of women who, unknown to their husbands, had in vested the family funds intrusted to their keeping, and whose distraction was. aggravated. .by the thought of the reception that the news of the loss would procure them at home. In many of the groups priests predominated ; indeed, it was reported that in many villages no mass was said oil Wednesday, owing to the absence of all the clergy in Naples, Aud what perhaps gives as vivid an idea of the extent of the dis aster, is the fact that the theatre of San Carlos was closed for the evening, owing to the Ce trona being taken with convulsions on learning the loss of a considerable sum which she had placed in the hands of M. Scilla. The same is said to have been the case with most of the other performers of this theatre,iol which M. Scilla was part proprietor, the dancers included. The carabineers stationed round the offices of the arrested bankers have hitherto prevented any but isolated acts of popular vengeance. The cashier of Id. Scilla, who, from the condi tion of a petty tobacconist, had in a short time attained to competency, was recognized in the street by some of the victims of his employer, and met with a perhaps not' unmerited beating ; after which another body proceeded to the lodgings of one of the bankers who has es caped, and, not finding him within, thrashed his porter, The police had also to rescue a collector who, on presenting himself at the Bourse, was greeted with cries of " Out with the swindlerl out with the robberl"—cries which were quickly followed by personal vio lence. • . The arrest of Baron de Cunctis, one of the bankers, was made with some ingenuity. Sur prised in his house by the police, he found time to escape by the balcony. The authori ties instantly sent to the house of his mistress, whom they found in her drawing-room, with thiee gentlemen, all of whom denied' : any knowledae of the Baron de Cetuctis." - . The agents, with a profusion of txpaies, asked leave to, search _ the. gentlemen's.:pockets :,:in those of the first they. finind nothing, in those of the second only a few francs,but on the third were discovered bills to the amount of 6,000/. I , You must be De Cunctis," said the officer' so he was. Years andlEeap Years.. 'The year 1000 will not be a leap year. 1800 and 1004 will be leap years. To explain this we must give a short account of the change of style in the calendar eflected by Pope Gregory Mil. Ile found that the error of eleven minutes in the Julian calendar had amounted to ten days. lie therefore ' deducted ten days in October, 1582, and, to prevent a recurrence of the error, it was ordered that every year ending a century should not be considered a leap year; except the multiples of the year 400. Thus, 1(100 was a . leap year, but 1700 was not, nor - 1:00; nor will 100014; but 2,000 wilt be a leap year, and' every 400th year after it. In England and America the Gregorian calendar was not adopted until 1752; consequently with us 1700 was not a leap year and we were eleven days out. These were substracted, and at the time the measure enacting the altera tion caused considerable uneasiness, and some few riots among the poorer people, who could not comprehend the matter, and raised the cry of "Give tis back our eleven days!" The Greeks and Russians still retain the old style; so that there is now a difference of twelve days between their date and ours, because they have considered 1700 and 1804 as leap years. The term " bissextile," as applied to the leap year, was given by Jane Caesar when he reformed the calendar. He gave an additional day every four years to February, as being the shortest month, and caused it to be inserted between the 24th and 25th. By the Roman mode of reckoning the 22d of February was called the sixth before the Calends of 'March, and the intercalary day was, therefore, named "bis sextus dies," the second day,and the year " hissextilia," contained the second sixth day.

Assured that, In the selection and negotiation of su perior Railroad Loans, we are meeting a great public want., and rendering a valuable servic . e—both to the holders of Capital end to those great National works of intorno' improvement whose Intrinsic merit and sub- Stantial character entitle them to the use of Capital and the cUnfidence of investors—we now offer with special confidence and satisfaction the FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS (F THE Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company. The Chempeake and Ohio Railroads connecting the Atlantic coast and the magnificent harbors of the Chesa peake Bay with the Ohio River at a point of reliable navigation,and thns,with the entire Railroad system an d water transportation of the great West and Southwest, forms the additional Fast and West Trunk Line, so imperatively demanded for the ac commodation of the immense and rapidly growing transportation between the Atlantic seaboard and Europe on the one hand, and the great producing re gions of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys on the other. The Importance of this Bond as a new outlet from the West to the sea reunifies it into one of national consequence, and in sures to it en extensive through traffic from the day of its completion ; while,in the development of the eaten stv e agricultural and mineral resources of Virginia and West Virginia, it possesses, along its own line, the ele ments of a large and profitable local baldness. Thus the great inicrests, both general and local, which demand the completion of the CHREIAPRARR AND Onto RAILROAD in the Ohio River, afford the, surest gnat-entre of Its succo,es and value, and render it the most important : and sub. stantial Railroad enterprise noir in pro. gress in this Country. Its superiority as an East and west routn. and tnie promise of an Immense and'profitable trade.awaiting its completion, have drawn to it the attention and co•opera lion of prominent Capitalists and Railroad men of this city,of sound judgment and known integrity, whose eon nettion with it, together with that of eminent citizens and business men of Virginia and West Virginia, Insures an energetic, honorable and sue cesafal management. The Road is completed and in operation from Rich mond to the celebrated White Sulphur Springs of Weat Virginia, 277 miles, and there remain but 200 miles (now partially constructed I to be completeJ, to carry it to the proposed terminus on the Ohio river at. or near, the mouth of the Big Bandy river, LSO miles above Cincin• mitt, and 3r.0 miles below Pittsburgh. Lines are now projected or in provers through Ohio and Kentucky to this point, which will connect the Chesapeake and Ohio with the entire Railroad systems of the West. and South. west, and with the Peel road. Its valuable franchises and superior advantage* will place the CHEnAVEAKE AND 111110 RAILROAD COMPANY' among the richest and most powerful and trustworthy corporations of the couyry ; and there estate a present value, in completed road and work done, equal to the entire amount of the mortgage. The details of the Loan have been arranged with 'ae rial reference to the wawa of all classes of investor'', and combine the various features of convenience, 'safety and protection against loan or fraud.

They have thirty years tO tun from January VS, 3870, with interest at six per cont. per annum from No vember 1, 1869. PRINCIPAL ANO INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK• The Interest is payable in MAT and NOVEMBER, that it may take the place of that of the earlier Issues of Five- Twenties, and suit the convenience of onr friends who already hold Central and Western Pacific Aondd, with interest payable in January and July. and who may de sire, in making additional investments, to have their interest receivable at different seasons of the year. The Loan is secured by a mortgage upon the entire Linder Road from RichMond to the Ohio River, with the equipment and all other property and appurtenances , connected therewith. A BINNING FUND OF 6100,000 Pit ANNUAL 18 PROVIDED POR THE REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS, To - TAKE EFFECT ONE YEAR AFTER TILE COMPLETION OV TUE ROAD The mortgage is for i 5,000,000, of which e 2,900,000 will be reserved and held in trast for the redemption of outstanding Bonds of the Virginia Central Rai/road Company, now merged in the thrtcsaPEAKE AND Onio. Of the remaining 813,000,000,a sufficient amount will bo sold to complete the road to the Ohio river, perfect and improve the portion now in e peration,and thoroughly equip the whole for a large and active traffic. The present price is 90 and accrued interest. A Loan so amply secured, so carefully guarded. and so , certain hereafter to command a prominent place among the favorite Securities. in, the markets, both of this , Country and Europe, will be at once appreciated and' quickly absorbed.

The Court decided, in the case of the Grapeshot, that President Lincoln's provisional courts in Louisiana and elsewhere were legal tribunals. Tuts Secretary of War yesterday sent to the house of Representatives Col. Baker's re .rt Va 1/6 CAlocunion against tue Fiegans. General Sherman, in submitting the report, says that General liardee ' a most humane and con siderate offieer, justifies the expedition, and adds that he will direct General Sherdian to call on Col. Baker for a detailed report, to meet the charge that the greater number killed were women and children. THE robbery of the Waverly, N. Y., Na tional Bank, took place early on Sunday morn ing. The door of the vault and safe were blown open with powder, the explosion shat tering the windows of the bank. The loss to special depositors is large, to the bank small. There was no one in the bank on Saturday night or the following morning, and the rob bers were doubtless aware of that fact. . • Lairs advices from Nuevitas have been re ceived at Havana. General Goyeneche had arrived at Cascorro, and would sum march on the town of Guaimaro. General Puello's forces occupy Sabaniero and San Miguel, and were erecting fortifications.

General Jordan lately sent six hundred Camaguey insurgents toward Cinco Villas district, but when near Remedios they were met by the Spaniards, twenty-seven of their . number killed, and their advance checked. The Spaniards lost one killed and ten wounded.. The Insurgents, in superior numbers, lately attacked Fort Charcas, but were repulsed by the garrison of colored free-. men from Havana. eicane Bather Peculiar Relies. A Hungarian Roman Catholic clergymen, at present in Rome ' writes to the Presburg Gazette a curious account of a visit paid to the Church of St. Augustine in that city. " After walking for half an hour," says the writer, through streets uglier and dirtier than any that could be found in our small Hungarian towas,l reached at last the Church of St. Augustine. When I entered, there appeared to be no one in the building, but an old bare-footed sacristan soon appeared and otlered(of course for a small con sideration) to let melee the marvelous relics the church possessed. Having conducted me into the sacristy be showed me, on a rich velvet cushion inclosed in a small glass case, the cord with which .Judas Iscariot had hanged himself. Itly cicerone maintained the relic to be authen, tic, and I coda' not hurt his feelings by an expression of doubt. Another glass case con tains a wing of the Archangel Gabriel. I learned on inquiry that Pope Gregory VII. had obtained this gift from the angel by his prayers, and my guide informed me, with a look of deep significance; that he knew a pious man, the possessor of a feather front this angelic wing; who would be happy to dispose of it in favor of another devout man. As I did not take the hint, we continued our exam ination of the reliquary. I was next 'shown the comb of the cock that crowed when Peter denied his Master, then the staff with which Moses divided the waters of the Red Sea, and afterwards the ,beard qf :Noah. My cicerone took care to inform me, every now and again, that in consideration of my being a 4 pious man,' I could obtain a small portion of these invaluable relics at a very moderate price." The Presburg Gazette addS to this letter, by way of postscript : " Our worthy clergyman does not seem to have been shown what, in our opinion, is, thepearl of the collec-' tiOn in question : it is one of the steps of the ladder on which Jacob, in his dream, saw the heavenly hosts ascending and descending."
