Argus say's, that hav ing heard that Mrs Wi'son, after her die.; charge, had freely narrated the circumstan ces Attending the murder, so far as shit knew them—we obtained from an authimili , tic source, the following particillarc—, "Mrs W. hays, that 'on the morning of the Murder, she has no doubt she was u wakened;(as she always rated) by the blow that killed her husband. She started up, and discovered his head tossing atidtit lon the pillow. He did .00t speak afteeihe awoke, She started from thebed sad lit la light.' Then she oltw he hid been struck, (with the pole of an axe,-sha laaa_no_ doubt - , as ahe Des. it - th - tife r 613.11, and it could ridt bei found afterwards) and the door, which was open the night before, was open. She ran to call Benjamin Wilson from the other part, when as she reached the entry, as she partialiy turned her bead towards the stairs, she saw Thorn standing upon them' She at once said to him, 'You have killed Blisha:' fie gave her a look that fright ened her, still mote than she was befort. - and threatened her, if she ever ttild that, he would kill her, and that she would be considered equally guilty with hiro, if found out, they would both be hung. .gy this means, he compelled ` her to return to the moth, and assisted him to cover up the blasting evidenceS of the deed.

Mrs W. says that white she was it, Benjamin's pall, Thom must have attempted to wash the blood out the plan. ket as discovered in the tub, dispdaed of the axe, &c. It is inconceiveable, she continries, what she has suffered with these facts on her mind, and yet afraid to aiiiiti g e them, from fear of Thorn. and ignorance of opera tion of the law.
