that the private •interest of our Pinegrose frtends,

when the lasts are initiations, when the maw spring

hay,. 'no words to express our disgust. Let thespeople

coal Incorporattons. These were created to benefit
the Goverimeii political Irtends of the Key stone, and

bands of Espartero. Another rumor current is that
Don Carlos has surrendered to Lord John Hay, and
claimed the protection of the British flag" In either
case the war in Spain is necessarily at an end.
If Don Carlos has surrendered to the English flai,
we trust it will not- be again dishonored, as in the

last, Mr. Mod, proprietor of the celebrated
ionabla ice Cream store in Chesnut Street, opposite
'the Stabs Eftruse, shot Stis daughter,, whose personal
beauty has Seen so great an attraction. It appears
that Miss Wood about a fortnight since,- married- a
Mr. Peak; clandestinely, and on its duicovery, the
father became phrensieil, shut up his, tore, and on
the fatal day above referred to, his daughter having
been perabaded by her mother to -return -home in
hopes of conciliating the father, was 'ablit . thrtiitgh
the head 'with a pistol a and died altuoititutitlitly.
The event has, as they be anticipated, mined much
excitement, and 'We murderer has been committed to
Moyamensing. The Philadelphia Gazette gives the
following extracts from a 'letter received from 'the
, counsel of the unhappy man.
Drtin Six :—Wc desire to rectify some of the et
rors of the press, null respect to the melancholy
occurrence of yesterday, which bear hard upon the
prisoner arid his distressed family.
The tact is that Mr. W. was a px.itive frenzied
maniac when he shut his child. There is abundance
of evidence about it, sea it trill be blade clear, un.
less the press takes captive the public mind and de
, rues him a fair trial.
Mr. Wood was attentive and kind to his daughter
from di,: hour she re., ntercd his house, and prior to
the marriage was devotedly affectionate to ner. The
fit of insai.ity that happened on Monday was - the
first moment of other feelings.
We'have seen Mr. Wood to day , he c.in remem
ber only faintly, as a dream, the events of yesterday ;
he does not remember, 'even, in what part of the
hou.ce the act took plaCe. l'i'e is toleraLly composed
to day, but in a stale of the 11108 i poignant grief.—
Yesterday the Sheriff ordered Iwo men to be statism
ed in his cell, to prevent him from doing violence to
himself; his condition of insanity and wildness was
so remarkable. This is not the first attack of insan
ity he has suffered ; he sustained a suurlar aliena
tion of mind some two years ago. • '
There is one circumstance with regard to the hap.
less Mr. Wood—whose bloody act has excited so
rtiddh interest for the past twenty-tour liours'in this
community —w h tch, among those whb knew him by
sight, could scarccli have escaped observation. His
face always bore the impress 01 :ouch thoughtfulness,
care, and solicitude, and the marks of ill health be
side, His countenance was never otherwise than
pale, and sometimes deadly so. We have always
thought him an Industrious man, or many plans, anx
ious to get on in the world, and sacrificing in the en
r, both health and peace of mind. His pros
Kett itOricreased amazingly— but it did not sanely
litinrind it may without violence to a serener judge

Such is the estimation in which honest David is
held abroad p—Our state is a by•wwd, and its honor

were taken as soon as offered, the public works were

passport throughout the Union, now, .• none so poor
to do at reverence!?'
A full length Likeness.— Alexander H.-Everett,
the present loco loco leader in Massachusetts,. and
chief spokesman for the party, four years ago thus
portrayed Mt. Van Buren:
Throughout these proceedings we see distinctly
the character of the man, a narrow, sordid, selfish
spirit, pursuing...tilde ends by little means: no lofti ,
ness of purpose. no power, depth or re of mind,
no generosity of (Meng : no principle : of course no
faith in the existence of any such qualities to other;‘.
He enters on the high and "lacred concern of gov

!anyer he sat down to 'play all fours at the *-house,
and is just as ready to employ any trick that Lri
crease his share of the SPOILS OF VICTORY."
And in describing his cabinet qualities, he said
