REV. DR. CAHILL'S LETTER. "TO THE RIGnT HON. LORD VISCOUNT - : rALMEKSTON.' " Judge Kane, of rhiladelpbia, had teen hear ing evidence in regard to the alleged recruiting for the British army in tho United States. One jf the chief witnesses was a Mr. Sirobel, wliose evidence contains sonie extraordinary, if true, dis closures. This man Strobel, whose social stand ing appears to have been such tht .Sir Gaspard Lo Marchant asked him to dinner, and the officers of tho "Cth regiment associate! with him on terms of equality, swears psoitively that a plan for he enlistment of men iu tho United States for tho British service was concocted by Mr. Cramp ton, tho Gjvornors of the British Provinces, and himself, and that a commencement of enlistments was inada under it." IiATH?ARXlIAX. Oct. 23, 1855. Mr Lohd . The American papers of last Saturday week have brought to this country the abounding intelligence contained in the extract just quoted $ and two n.a'.Is havj siuca arrived from New York, whi!c ihe facta re ferred to remain up to this day uncontradic ted. So, my lord, you have advised your ambassador. Mr. Cramptou to enlist the Irish in America. You want them now in order to recruit your wasted army iu tho Crimea, or to garrison the growing weakness of your distant colonies. Glory be to God! that the 43atiablti cruelty of English law, in extermi nating and banishing the poor, faithful Irish, is now forced to acknowledge the national crime, by employing your ambassador to seek their return. Heaven be for ever praised ! that the perfidy of Lord John Ilussell's ad ministration (your former chief in the perse cution of Ireland) is now exposed before the withering scorn of all the nations of the civil ised world. So, you now offer a bounty, and pay, and the Queen's uniform, to the despised exiles, whom iriibiu the last Pfven years your administration starved, aud jibed, and ban ished. I thank eternal retributive justice in Hhc present instance, in thus compelling the public executioner of my country to confess wilh his own uuiuUiius cruelty to Ireland. I grateful to tho unerring laws of the Su premo Arbiter of nations that the conspirator against the religion and tho prosperity of Ire land stands at this moment jibbetted by his own coufession on the pillar of public scorn. Hut, Sir, besides the cruelty, there is an irreclaimable indecency in your ordering tho enlistment of the Irish in America. You held office under Lord John llussell, during the years of the cholc;a, the famine, the ex termination, sn 1 the expulsion of tho hated race. In those days of uational woe, when a heart of teel would be melted in seeing wail ing thou3aads sw?rm all the shores of your country iu mournful or wild despair, you would not pay an inspector to examine the leaking ship, nor would you appoint a sur geon to stay the ravages of disease, and save the lives of these illfatcd aud unhappy chil dren of Ireland. No ; you would not you certainly would not. And now, when you . want the ail cf their faithful hearts and their "invincible courage, you .meanly flatter the warm bosoms which you lately despised ; and you perfidiously seek the service of the noble nature which you cruelly baniahed. Beyond all doubt you permitted the savatra exteriiiiua- "tor, the ruthless ship captain, "th 2 sinking resxel, and the terrors of the tempest,, to ban ish, drown, and kill more than one million and 'a half of my friendless countrymen. The graves ia Gross Island, where ten thous and abandoned victims lie the abysses of the Atlantic, where many a broken-hearted faith - r, mother, and child mingle their whitened "bones, amid the foundations of the deep, bear : melancholy testimony of the reckless hatred and the ferocious bigotry which depopulated Ireland during the years of your former sub ordinate office.,- You are decidedly an accom plice in this Irish calamity ; and with such delinquency on your head, where can human tongue or pencil find languacro or coloring sufficiently descriptive of the tshauielessncss of . the man who could now stand at the corner of the streets of XV ew Orleans and Philadelphia offering a bribe to the survivors of your ex pulsion, pressing "by perfidious promises into England's service the living remnant of mis rule and shipwreck, and armincr with the sword of England tts very wen on whose necks, but a few years ago, jour laws would prefer to tie the hangman's rone? Honceal. palliate, explain this conduct sn von will it ;places England and yourself in a position of iu .uuTOincy wuicu is discreditable to the nation: it is a crime which your greatest enemy can never exaggerate by calumny, nor uiuaai uneiter ever exceed in slander. . . The apologists of the government and your blends may arrest that the lands of Ireland are held by lease, as in some ether countries and hence that the extermination complained of is the legitimate result of property and land tenure. .. I deny the parallel between Ireland .and any other country on the face cf the globe ; because the landlords of Ireland, in a majority of .instances, are Orange men or big hts, sworn to exterminate the Catholic popu nation, if ttey. can? while the landlords of , other nations sustain,- aid, and protect . their W7 ,ther??re the .comparison ' of the uure oi. land in intlm '.rvtir,t-w,a Mnnnn-'V.A SBnllait T , 1 vvuuuiwi, wuva lie ?P " .IreW-l-till yoti make ths landlords both cases resemble each other, or till yon give to the Irish Catholic tenant a legal and equitable protectioa against the ferocity of the Orange aristocracy tilllhen they have the clear poer of depopulating Ireland and killing the Queen's subjects. Asajvroof of the logical accuracy of thfcso statements, I appeal to the history of ixodern nations, and fearlessly challenge even one instance, where two millions of human beings have been un housed, banished, and killed,' in any one country, within the period of seven years : and all this fu assise ire planned, carried on, and "executed by a steady machinery, which has reduced to powder the obnoxious race with the same mechanical and unerring result as -a mill grinds corn. The tenancy of other coMtries, under their landlords, as compared with this country, bear the same resemblance to each other as a flock of sheep nnder the care of the shepherd" and In the slaughter" ! house of the wolf. Oh, Sir, it is idle to talk of the duties of property towards a Catholic population, while a persecuting aristocracy own the land ; and therefore any minister of ; the crown who quietly looks on, while the people are decimated, is a willing accomplice in this legal massacre. But wait awhile, my Lord. China cocks, Durham pigs, Kent rams, and short-horned j bulls, are now the fashion in all our towns : ! special trains, courteous directors, dejenuers a la fourcliette, viceregal rhetonic, balls, and mangelworzel, have with a skillful variety ta ken the place of tho poor honest population, the old piper, and the merry dance. But ; wait awhile, and England and Lord Lieuten ant', and noble graziers may soon learn the approaching paralyzing fact that pigs can not handle a rifle, that rams cannot discharge the cannon, that bullocks cannot man a ram part, and that tho modern scheme of herds and flocks, and no men, is a mistake which, in the just ways cf divine vengeanco, may yet humble England to the dust, and make her lick the ground in slavery under the op pressive sway of a foreign master. Wait awhile, nous vcrrons. At each annual reunion of those agricultu ral spectacles, it mcaas, Ireland , that tho scheme of extermination is successfully ad vancing that large grazing farms are pro gressing that the people are disappearing. It is now the rage to convert the soil of Ireland- into immense bullock and sheep parks, and as a proof of her steady advance of the system, we must recollect the facts viz., that one hundred and ninety-six thousand Irish left Ireland in '52 one hundred and iifty thousand in '53 and one hundred and eleven thousand in '54 ! And, therefore, where the population of pigs and bullocks is recorded by the secretaries of these societies as an impo sing aud triumphant proof of the rapidly lm .provng, condition ojE Ireland, it stands pre cisely as an evidence of equal value to demon strate the frightful depopulation of the coun try. The entire aud wle aim of these socie ties in Inland is to advance the landlords and to expel the tenantry it is to encourage the growth of black cattle and live stock, and to diminish in the same ratio the census of the people. There is uo aristocratic anuual meet ing to wovk the mints of Ireland, to encour age labor, to advance commerce, or to foster trade ; everything which could even remotely make the people happy is cruelly omitted, and a plan which has the appearance of na tional advantage adroitly and persevcringlj introduced, in order to cover the withering expulsion of the whole Irish population. Ancient history furnishes one instance of national insane recklessness, which can be compared with the sanguinary English frolic of first exterminating and then attempting to enlist the expelled Irish. Previou.-ly to the subjugatiou of Greece to the lloinan power, the Greek legislature (so like England) fear ing that their numerous slaves would join the Romans, put all their farm slaves to death, and never recovered the famine, which lesulted from their massacre. And, without urging the facts of history beyond the legitimate de ductions of logic, there can bs no doubt that England al?eady feels, and shall soon, very soon, feel in her very heart's core that the ex pulsion of one million and a half of the Irish peasantry is a freak of Protestant policy which denudes her empire cf the necessary military force, which reduces her to a mere auxiliary force in the Crimea, and which humbles her to a state of acknowledged and slavish depen dence and subserviency, to tho supreme and arbitrary will of France. Oh, God ! what an army lies on the bottom of the Atlantic, and in the Irish gravepits, where the most infa mous persecution has buried at least three hun dred thousand of the finest men that ever the world saw. It' there be justice in Heaven, and if there be revenge for incredible crime. there must be a fate reserved for England commensurate with the multitudinousuess of her national crimes, and which the full chalice of her iniquities to Ireland, must Boon call forth in the palpable catastrophe of national chastisement. My Lord, will you kindly inform the fath ers and mothers of Ireland how manv of their banished children you have recruited for Eng land in America : do, Lord Palmerston. do. tell us, the success of your officer, Mr. Cramp- B TV f"- . 11 ton '. uo, oir, teu us, now many men trom Clare, from Mayo, from Meath, from Skib bereen, have joined your ambassador ? But if the ambassador fail in his sewme' why do you not employ your former friends and com panions, Gavazzi, Acluln, Astrazzt, Mazzini, Kossuth, and Cicerouecchio ? You cannot fail, my lord, in your scheme, as vou can be. by your former associates in European and English policy.' ,Wby not enlist a refreshing uauauon trom your quondam correspondents, the ' free corps" bf Switzerland who sacked the ' convents, robbed ' Mount St. - Bernard. banished priests, and killed " nuns. Verily, my lord, you are the man to recruit tor Eng-. land, from amongst your virtuous and moral bands of the Continent. ' ' : . ..,T$ut you have the foreign German Legion; ..j 1 .I . r j . . 1. I auu ju uiti ta oartuaian contingent, most dear to England, since they have confiscated church property, expelled bishops, closed con vents, and imitate your own Henry and "Som erset. But these legions and these contin gents, besides losing at present three millions sterling by them, demonstrate that England has no army of her own to defend your em pire ; and, again, they prove, that having no military capital at home or abroad as a first rate power, she is henceforward doomed to be the tool of France, the slave of a predomi nant nation, an old diseased skeleton, having nothing left of her former vigor,' exoo-pt the inherent and inseparable marrow of Protes tant bigotry and persecuting intolerance. Pray, tell me, mv lord, . whether Mr. Crampton intends coming to Ireland to recruit for the Crimea ? I can refer him to certain districts in Ireland where men of his kidney mav be likely to find recruits for the honor and safety of England. Perhaps you would think of sending him to Dingle, where the : Soupers have purchased some Catholic souls at ten shillings apiece. The contingent, with corrupt Bible in one hand, a sword in the other, and perjury in their mouths, would charge the enemy with more courage than the Connaught Rangers? lie might try Kells, in the country Meath ; examine the eoup kitchens in Connemara, look in on the Island of Achill, and learn as he passes along how much the Queen s name has been exalted in Ireland by her clergy publishing tracts of blasphemy, formeuting rebellion, and collec ting tens of thousands of pounds from the gullable English to turn the Gospel into re venge and to worship Uod by a lie. Ah ! my lord, the bigotry, the insolence. the iufidelity, and the hypocrisy of England, are detected at last : and your servant, Mr Crampton, under your command, is merely a 1 cal tool in your hands, endeavoring to rem edy the results of a system in this country which shall soon, very soon, end in the just and final degradation of England. Oh, Lord ! how long ? Yes, there is truly an indecency in this enlistment in America : it is a reckless defiance of all the honorable feelings of socie ty. What would be thought of the man who, having murdered a parent, would then em ploy his orphan child to polish the sword with which his father was assassinated? Yes, I repeat again and again, it is most indecent of you to originate this unfeeling outrage on the broken heart of Ireland : and now this cruel freak has been received in America will best appear from the following extract from the Aeifl York Herald, a high Republican jour nal : Mr. Crampton owes it to himself and to the character he has borne during his long residence at Washington to explain this mat ter, if he can, in such a manner that will sat isfy the public. Some such explanation is not less due to tho country ho represents. Nothing would be more likely to embitter tho feeling on this' side of the water than an im pression that the Queen's government is so contemptuously reckless of our laws as to au thorize their systematic infringement by the highest British functionaries in America." 1 intend, at my convenience, to Write a se ries of letters on your past and present career -not that 1 consider you an able "statesman -you are an artful debater rather than a con summate politician but I addrecs myself to you because I look on your lordship as the exponent of a policy which, sooner or later,, will bring ruin on your country, Louis PhiU ippe onco said of you, that "such was your obstinacy of temper, that you would reckless ly expend the last shilling in the British treas ury, and fire the last shot in her locker, soon er than yield even to reason." But, if he had added that you were a Christian without any defined creed, and a politician without a fixed principle, he would have most justly ' defined jour lordship's public character. I have taken it into my head that I know you better than any living man : and I dare say I should surprise yourself were I to produce the docu ments I co aid Bustain the definition already given of your lordscip's inherent and essen tial official characteristics. I look upon you to be the most disastrous minister that Eng land has ever selected in her policy, and cou- cons.der you, beyond all comparison, to be the greatest and the most perfidious enemy thd Catholic Church has ever had either in ancieut or modern times. You sometimes throw a bone adroitly, to be picked by a hungry aspi rant of Catholic fame you occasionally fling a sprat on the political current, by which you Bucceed in catching some silly fools, who are ignorant of your crafty skill ; but with this occasional semblance of petty concessions, you are of all living men, if you dared, the most willing accomplice to forge the chains and rivet the fetters on the Catholics of the whole world. . Who can forget the speeches which were Uttered by you and Lord John Russell at the close of the last session of par liament? Ihe mean and cowardly attack on the Pope pronounced by you both can never be forgotten t and the motive which prompted these combined orations is as transparent as your known hatred of Catholicity. Of Lord John Russell it may be said, that it is a pity he has suivived the year '50. Like an old actor, once the Jupiter of the stage, but fal line bv degrees till at length he fills the offics of snuffing the candles at the theatre, he has sunk below himself and below notice, and now Btands,. by the public decision, for the Zero of political consistency and national honor. ' i ' ,' In your ! speech at the close of parliament in last August, you attack the weakness afld the tyranny (as you called it") of the Papal government, and of the King of Naples." Aye, you saw that the King of Sardinia had confiscated church property, and imprisoned and banished bishops, had closed convents, and had blasphemously laid hands upon the consecrated rights of aires, vou. therefore. concluded . that . the wicked King would be consigned to the just reprobation of the church of which he is a member for this public sacri lege ; and hence, as the true exponent of the principles . of English ecclesiastical spoliation. Your lordship, taking up tbs xpiring ebor8 of Russell's bigotry,' closes the session of the last Parliament by palliating tho lobbery. by praising the plunderer, and by launching at the head of the church and the Catholic King of Naples the stereotyped abuse and historical lies, of which no one can command a more op ulent conital than the preseut premier of Eng land. What a study of incongruities do vou present in your official personalities ! You appoint a Catholic chaplain in Ireland, and at t'je same time you try to unpope Pio the Ninth in Italy ! You give liberty of Catholic wor ship in a gaol in Ireland, and you denounce Gatholic doctrine on the continent I You pro tect a Catholic convent at home, and you de molish all conventual life abroad 1 You lick the ground after a Catholic Emperor ia France, and you spit in the face of a Catholic King in Naples ! - Your words are all peace, but your tti;Bs to all discord! You the advo cate of all constitutional law at home, and you are the personal friend of all the revolu tionists abroad ! x ou advise a universal calm. and you always appear as in a storm. Your lordship resembles 44 Mctber Carey's Chick ens" on sea ; you are the harbinger of bad weather : your appearance foretells disaster : you delight in shipwrecks ; you live amid de serted rocks, and you grow fat on the dead bodies cast upon shore nit turn dispar swi. In my conscience I look on your conduct during the Russell administration as the prin cipal cause of the continuation of the present war. You encouraged the devolution cf Hun gary by perfidious promises of English co-op eration you drove Sardinia into a war of usurpation you kissed the hand of Kos suth, the most unprincipled political wretch in existence your spies maligned the reli gion, the laws, the customs of Austria your press slandered the court and the Empe ror and you have, by a policy peculiar to yourself, as the Captain Rock of Europe, driv en the enmity of that Catholic Empire into unmitigable revenge against England ; and, as if to add mockery to your republican poli cy. Lord John Russell is sent to negotiate a peace, and to induce Austria iLii most in sulted and outraged kingdom to enter into a coalition with England ! while it is notorious to every diplomatist in Europe that Austria would prefer a coalition with ltussia, or with any nation on the earth, 60oner than form a national alliance, and trust the known perfidy of England. I say you have incurred the ir radicable enmity of Austria you have pre vented an alliance with her you have lost her assistance in the present struggle you have given strength to Russia, and in my soul I look upon you, from your revolutionary conduct, as the principal accomplice in the destruction of the allied armies of the Crimea. Has it ever occurred to your lordship, in reading the continental journals, in studying the speeches of . ministers, and observing the conduct of cabinets, that you have :;ever heard any abase of the Queen of .Lng'and never observed any officer of any court advise the confiscation of what you call your church pro perty never knew any ministerial papers to be paid for unceasing calumny of the -hnghsh court, of the English religion, of English manners? .And, again, has the idea ever presented itself to you, that no Catholic coun try has ever employed lying liible-readers, has ever nired clerical slanderers to visit the houses in England, or in any other Protestant Country, and by tracts of blasphemy, by a forge of infamy, passing all credibility, prom ulgating lies against everything Protestant? One moment s reflection will teach vou the contrast between England and Catholic Eu rope on this irritating subject ; and if (as I can assure you) Catholicity feels deeply woun ded by this lyinj practice of infidel Protes tantism, will you tell me how has our gracious Queen leen able, at her " lata visit, to look France in . the face, or how can you have the hardihood to raise your eyes in the presence of your master and England's present superior, the .Emperor Napolean? Be assured, my lord, these arc questions of deeper import than strike the eye at first sight. - You ridi culed France when you thought France was we?ik. You now flatter France when you see France is strong. Your press despised the Emperor when you fancied he was an outcast, and now you fawn on him when the canon of Boulogne is heard r in Saint James's and the Champ de Mars, under a French sun and a French sky, reveals the glancing sheen of one hundred thousand lifted spears in the presence of your Queen But, then, the royal entente cordiale is a guarantee for future peace ! ! aye when England found it her interest to strike France, she did so, ar an expiring voice from St. Helena has told ; and, believe me, when France shall find it her interest to re turn the blow, that same voice will sound in the ears of France like the summons of resur rection, and arm millions of her children in coats of steel to avenge tho national stain, or advance the imperial interest. Aye, entente cordiale ! Tshaw 1 Wait, my lord, till the Crimea shall be evacuated wait till France takes possession of Asia, and plant her eagle on Turkish soil firmly and time will tell the tale that your petty auxiliary battalions, with their Btupid commanders in dreamy sen ility, shall be ordered home by your, imperial master, giving to England, of course, some commercial advantages, but keeping for France tho possession of the soil which she alone has iron, and pushing her conquests aud their real glories as far as the Indus. In fact. England deserves from France merely the freight of her ships in deporting the munitions of war. Her ofiice has been that of carrier to the French army She was laid at tho Alma she was asleep at Inkermann and she owes her life, beyond doubt, on that occasion, to the trench sho was mad at Ualaklava, and she was beaten at the Redafl." And how could it be otherwise ? All her generals are all Swaddlers to a man they are all old Bible-readers, tract-distributors, street preachers. arid psalm 6irigers. ' Between the gout and tha Bible, they were late every where, and be&ted every where. Old Haglan was id bed at Inkermanri -eld Simpson pray ing in a trench at the storming of tho Redan and old Burgoyne laid up in the gout, while the men walked trp to the middle in mud, in last winter, as they staggered, laid down, and died on their way from the shore to the camp. And, as an illustration of the irradicable and incomprehensible disease of Swaddling inhe rent in the nature of these old jibbering gen erals, they have never, in one instance, borne testimony, or s -.id one little kind Word in their despatches of the invincible courage of tho poor Irish who stood in the front rank of ths raging battle who flew with lightning fash against the red iron shower of death, and, with an Irish cheer from their faithful hearts, buri ed their victorious steel in the bosom of the enemy, and saved, and won, the day. Yet, not a word of praise from the English or Sco'ch generals the old gouty chiefs the hoary, gen ii, armed Swaddlers in the Lord. But the time may not be far distant when the Irish people and Irish courage may re ceive more patronage when England will re cover from the gout when the Protestant clergy will learn to preach sermons, and not Grange orations and when the mania of lies, and Swaddling, and Biblical bazaars, and Protestant lace, and Lutheran hosiery, and evangelical needle-work, shall cease to be a national necessity, and be succeeded by a compulsory voioe of truth, shame and common sense. . . Ireland has fallen into a lethargy, within the last eight years, from the paralysis of fam ine and persecution ; she has lost her speech from the terrible stroke, and she can never forget that while lying in her bed of sickness, the treacherous Protestant Church Bent her emissaries to try and rob her of her faith in her last struggle of existence, and thus to add damnation to death. But I here counsel Ireland, now that her present living children have escaped the national grave, to resume their former energies, to meet eiery week in Dublin, to raise the old shout of defiance against your English bigotry ; and I under take to say that within two years the Protes tant Church Established will begin to crumble before the indignant combination of all clas ses; and the tyranny of England will crouch to the voice of nuited Irishmen under the ap proaching pressure of European policy. I have the honor to be your lordship's obe dient servant, D. W. Caiiill, D.D. K NOW-NOTHING COX VENTION AT LoCISVIXUS. There was a Mass Meeting of Know-Nothings at Louisville last Tuesday. The Times speaks thus of one of the speakers: Gen. Williamson, of Pennsylvania, was announced for a speech, when a snobbish looking man, with an enormous wig, made his appearance and announced, to the great de light of his audtenee, that ho was all right on the goose." We never heard of Gen. Williamson before; but as he was introduced as a specimen of Pennsylvania Samism, we, with great patience, listened to his tiresome harangue in the hope that the opinion of Penn sylvania Samon the Nebraska bill would be revealed. But on that question the martial spirit of Pennsyvania was most prudently The nearest he came to an ex pression of opinion upon that subject was, j that after the Know-Nothings have elected J. the I'r.sident, ana a151.nuu1.eu mc uwsiucj would enter upon a consideration of the sla very question, and so settle it as to preserve the Union. . . . . - . Immense applause greeted this portion of the orator's speech, and he took his seat amidst the highest demonstrations of approbation on the part of Bartlett & Co. It says further 1 . t . , Altogether, the Convention has been a failure. The number in attendance was small, and the speaking unsuSerable. It ha3 been a uuii, ce vy, siupiu auair uiuujuuui, the only thing accomplished by it - has been Mncnnintinn of an intolerable quantity of bad whisky, and the expansion of a large amount of foul breath.

We saw ves- terdav (says the Philadelphia Ledger of the 23d) a 5 bank bill 01 tne t nuaaeipma xan altered to a 20, and the alteration so skil fully done, that persons unacquainted with the notes of that bank would bo likely to be deceived. This ntite, which is a genuine $5 altered, may be detected by holding it to the light and observing the difference of shading in the figures 20.. which is lighter than the general shades of the note. A mors certain mark of detection, however, is in tho differ ence of the vignette. On the fives, in the upper left corner, there is a vignetls of two reclining female figures, with the Goddess of Liberty between them, and on tho right hand of the note, a female figure. Beated, with a bird and globe in her right Land and a spear in the left. In the twenties there are two beds of, Washington above, two female fig ures, sail vessel on right, houses on left, spread eale below ; a likeness of Franklin on tho right end of the note, and a bust of William Penn on the left end. As this altered note has ihe pictorial representation belonging to the five dollar bills, persons may easily fee that it is not a twenty, as it purports to be. Value 67 the Grass Caor.

An Affecting- Story A CLH1 Lost A child of Frankliu Gray, of Proatoa county, Va., (two years of age) attempted to folic w iU father to a neighbor's, a mil dist ant. The mother, missing tha child, became alarmed, and at onca instituted search. She followed her husband, but heard no tidings of the lost one. . Father and mother, spreading " the alarm, joined by ajmpathizii-g neighbors, set out on a search, aud all that day and night they continued the search, but morning came, and still the little wanderer was cot found. Court was in session at Kingwood. (the county seat.) and on Saturday morning adjourned to allow all in attendanoe to aid in restoring the child to its anxious perenU. The party numbering now about 200 persons, searched the woods all day, but sot till the hunt had been well nigh abandoned, as even ing was coming on apace could any inform tion be had of the child's condition or where abouts. . Mr. B Hawley, as he was returning home, and within half a mile of Mr. Gray's house, found ths child, but it was dead It had perished - from exposure, having been without food, wandering in the cold dreary woods from Friday morning. Shocbuso MraoEa va Savannah. A most shocking murder was perpetrated last niuht, about half-past nine o'clock, at the Arbor Bil liard Saloon, on Bryan street, kept by Mr. J. M . llay wood. On repairing to the place some twenty minutes after the occurrence, we found a large concourse of persons assembled in the saloon, and the body of a young man by the name of Francis Hyatt, the bar-keeper, lylnR upen the floor dead, having received a pistol ball in his left temple. The shot must have caused instant deata, and the unfortunate young man lay upon the spot where he had fallen. Uyatt, who cam from New York to this city, is said to Lav been a very quiet, inoffensive "young man. From what we were able to learn, there ap peared to have been no collision between hint and the person who fired the fktal shot. Tba proprietor of the establishment was absent at the time, and only a few persons are known to have "been present. Three or four persons have leen arrested and a preliminary investigation of the matter, before Esquire Russell, was going on at the barracks, when we left there at 12 o'clock. We were, however, unable to learn any par ticulars of a character sufficiently authentic to justify our reporting them at this time. Coroner Eden held an inquest on the body of the murdered man, which resultad ia a verdict that the deceased came to his deaVh by a pistol shot fired by some persons bn knewn to the jury.

A State whose Legislature deliberately, unblushing'y. impiously violates her constitutional obliga tions and whose people resist tho execution of law, even to the shediirg of blood, is uot en titled to . comity. from us ; - and I feel that I would have. betrayed the dignity of my trust had I hesitated to affix on such cocduct the eeal of official condemnation. The interchange of civilities with a people who feel it to he no dishonor to pre vert the recovery of stolen property, will hardly reclaim the faultless, and is incompatible from the respect which honesty owe3 to itself." Marks on. Newspapers. We Je&rn from the Washington Star that it has been decided by the Post OiEce Department that a mere mark above or around an advertisement or other article tn a nw"fopcr docs. not subject tho newspaper, to letter postage; as by such mark no additional information is either asked for or communicated. This however, -should not.be understood as allowing any device to be used by which information is asu'ed for cr given. Any device a letter or figure, for instance to indicate the period of subscrip tion' has expired, cr is about to e-pire, is a clear vijlation cf law, subjecting the paper to lettet postage by weight ; and if that is not paid, tho Postmaster of the oEce of delivery is required to return the paper to the mailing office for prosecution. Tho penalty is fire dollars. . 3T"A Boston correspondent of tho Neir York Evening Post gives an insight into the workings of tho Prohibitory Liquor Law in Massachusetts, lie saj-s: ' The obstinacy of juries, in liquor cases is on the increase, and is extending over Ih'e State.
