The Suicide of Dr. Poritinn.
Tho Americas News of tho 12th instant, gives
tho following account of the cause which led
t‘i this rash act. The News says “Dr. Per
kins cnine to this place on hist Tuesday, furn
ished with the moans of paying a note in Bank
upon which several of his friends were rospou
sible. Not having an opportunity to transact
on tho evening of hi. arrival, ho
put tip at Shaw’s house, for the night. Be
coming intoxicated during(the evening, he fell
a prey to tho snares of the gambler and bu t
his money. His noble* and sensitive nature,
overcome by the calamity which had befallen
him, he sought refuge from his troubles inn
termination of his life. For this purpose, lie
took a largo quantity of Morphine and also in
flicted several wounds in his arm, severing
radial the artery at his wrist.
“ The indignation of the good citizen* of the
city was excited to tho highest pitch, against
the perpetrators of the* deed which led to the
sa l occurrence. Tiie Mayor, P. If. Oliver,
called together the eitizon.s.onMonday evening
u * consider the matter, and to organize’ for the
suppression of vice in general, and of gambling
iu particular, in this community. The pro
ceedings of this meeting will he found in an
other column. During the mooting Charles lb
( raw ford, .l.sfj., pronounced a handsome eulo
gy ou the clmrocterof the deceased. Dr. Per
kins was ft man of brilliant iutelleet, noble and
generous impulses, worm attachments and
pure and honorable principles, lie Served the
county of Handolph in the legislature, and en
joyed n large share of tho, public esteem and
confidence.’ 1
The Irish census tables, just published, re
port that iu one year there were 21,770 deaths
from starvation! The editor of the Medical
Times, commenting upou this appalling state
ment, says: “ The figure must be far short of
the* truth. ThO harrowing details given iu tho
body of the report leave no doubt that multi
tudes perished by tho wayside, and in the
cheerless Irish hovel, whom neither policeman
nor coroner’s inquest ovev took note of.”
Golden Weddings.
Tilt following, which v;c iiiitl in uufxchangc,
Confirms us in the belief, tjpit “all is not gold
that glitter.*.” Wc liave always bad a doubt
if these “golden wedding” presentations were
bonajiilt gifts., The extract hows we wm pot
wrong in our irapre- ion *. Fi’i la ntirnhttg.
“Anew thing under the sun is reported by
a Baltimore paper, which, mutes that the bridal
gifts displayed on the table at weddings, arc
hired fronfjewellers for the purpose.
It is stated that-there is one silver coffee pot
in that city, that has figured at three dozen
weddings ns “the gift of my uncle.” That is
a little too much to be believed. The world, is
given to humbug, but tiic idea id’ silverware
to show fiS gifts, is t<io ridiculous to be credi

’ Several instance* of great confidence in
j Americanism, in Kentucky, occurred in this

two mule (lrivci s who risked sleek on the re

that Kentucky had gone for Buchanan By about

Peaceable Emigrants.
Gov. Geary, of Kansas, lias lately been fierce
ly abused in the Black Republican press, be
cause lie prevented, as they assert, a peacea
ble company of emigrants from entering the
Territory. How peaceable they were and for
what purposes they came, may be imagined,
when We state there was found with them tho
following implements of husbandry:
4 cannons,
155 breech loaded muskets,
I(10 cniuicu musket,
lit) sabres,
2 officers sabres,
11 kegs of powder,
2500 cartridges,
1 drum.
There was also a quantity of lead and sev
eral hundred of Sharpe’s rifles urnl revolvers.
The truth was, it was an armed batalion,
commanded by Generals l’ouieroy and Ferry,
sent into Kansas to promote civil war and
strife. Who will blame the Governor for his
course. —O.nre'/oJY. /W ladium,

Fast Theatricals.
A wager of SIOOO, has been made in New
Verb, by Brougham, that lie and his company
will perform in both New York and Philadel
phia in she sumo night, the distance being
nearly 100 miles apart. The arrangement is
to perform on Thursday evening ne.:t, a petite
comedy iu New’ York, fiuislilng by 8 o’clock,
then to tnko a special express train to Phila
delphia by ten, and perforin at the. Circus the
Extravaganza of Pocahontas. The ai rangemeut
will require the locomotive to travel about 60
miles an hour; and to provent any accident, it
is designed to have a man with a fiamheausta
tiouod at every mile along tho route and bon
fires every three milez. The performance is
to conclude with a banquet at the Girard House
to the New 1 ork guests. This is certainly one
of the most extraordinary wagers ever made,
and will require very nice calculation and ex
act time to enable the task to he :u • nnpli.-h.ed
successfully.— Sat'. Jltpwh.

Negroes not Citizens.
An important decision bus been made by the
.Secretary if State in reference lo the citizen
ship of negroes. A few days since an appli
cation was made by cloven persons of color,
composing a troup of minstrels about to start
up n a foreign tour, and the State Department |
replies through ti. 11. Thomas, Assistant Se
cretary, to tho effect that those being negroe*,
they are not citizens of tho United States;
that the question being raised as to whether
they were citizens within the intent and mean
ing of tho act of Congress regulating the for
•ign und coasting trade in 1821, Mr. Wirt, Vt
torney General of the United States, decided
that they wero not. The same doctrine was 1
held by the Supreme Court of Tennessee, in
(lie c; a* of the - State vs. Claiborne, and such
being the construction of the Constitution with
regafd to free persons of color, it is conceived
that they cannot bo hold, when beyond the ju
risdiction of this country, its entitled to the
full rights of citizens.
