“ Csueollna’n Lament for her Dead.-
"Death loves a shining mark."
This is ott» happy Easter-dav, whose service tells
Of in mortality and life beyond the tomb :
Anthem to loud anthem with joy responsive swells,

And Piety has deck’d, with fragrant forost boughs,
The sanctuary walls, in honor of her Lord—
And kneeling at his least of love, renews Its vows,
And seeks the blessing promised In his sacred
Word.
The solemn service o’er, with heahs elate, they rise,
And haste to bend before the Throne, with private
prayers
And sweet thanksgivings, which may pierce the up-

of the passenger car on tlio Central Rail Road,
broke down at the 90-mile station yesterday
afternoon, and in consequence of which tho
Western mail did not roach the Post Office
when it was closed last evening.
The Gas Works.—We are gratified to per-

buildings. The walls of the Retort House are
bettor than six feet in height. The building
will he 28 by 95 feet. It will huve an iron roof
framing, and bo covered with slate. Tho Tank
or Gas-holder lias been dug out, and to-day the
brick work will bo commenced. This morning
the contractors will commence laying (he pipes
at the corner of Congress and East Broad sts.,
and we are iufornied that they will all be laid
in thirty or for^ days from this time. The old
Fort is rapidly undergoing a change, and in a
few days the old Mnguzinewill also disappear.

By referring to the advertisement, it. will be
seen that this splendid work of Art, will bo ex.
hibited in this city, this evening, und to-morrow
afternoon at 3 o’clock. It is truly one of tho
finest productions of the kind in our country,
combining os it does, instruction with amuse
ment. Few of us ever expect to traverse thegreat
Father of Waters, to its source. There, how
ever is no one who would not delight to see the
broad and beautiful vallios of tho Missisippi, its
vast tributaries, its broad prairies and towering
bluffs, its precipitous witter falls, lofty forest
and its far-famed cities, towns and villages, and
the peculiar water-craft that traverse it. To
those desirous of seoing this, an opportunity is
now offered to make a flying trip up the Mis
sissippi, a distance of 2000 miles in a single
evening, froe from the inconvenience and cares
of baggage, and the danger of bursting boilers,
or snags and sawyers. Through tickets for The

that Mr. II. V. Lovell takes his benefit nttha

of the responsibility of tho management has de

Attempt of a Son to Murder his Father.—
Considerable sensutidh prevailed in North
Nevon during the past Wfeek by the report that
a young man named Robert King had murder
ed his father. On the 18th instant, Thomas
King, the son, camo home between ten and ele
ven o’clock, and knocked for admittance, Sarah
Hatch (the housekeeper ) and the father were
in bed.. The father got up and let his son in,
and they went to bed together. Between three
and four o’clock on the following morning,
Sarah Hatch waa aroused by Robert knocking
at her door. Skft asked what he wanted. He
replied that his father was very ill, and that
J something was the matter with his throat . She
*. desired him to get a candle, which he did, and
brought it up. Directly she got into the father’s
oom Robert King struck at her with his fists,
entoak up the poker and struck her across
s of her body with it until she fell
! the floor. He had served bis
. _ i way. He then decamped^

Touchino Tribute to the Illustrious
Dead.—Tlte Charleston Mercury of Tuesday
morning contained a telegraphic account of the
proceedings in tho Senate on the announce
ment in that body of the death ot Mr. Cal
houn. The remarks of Mr. Butler Mr. Web
ster,' Mr. Clay, Mr. Kusk and Mr. Clemens
are given, in which those eloquent men gave
utlorunce to thoughts nnd feelings worthy ol
themselves’’and the occasion which elicited
them. Commenting upont ho sublime moral-
spectacle thus presented to tho world, The
editor of the Mercury very appropriately re
marks—“Wl.at a scene it must have been! How
utterly tho memory of nil past differences and
struggles faded obt In' the sublino presence of
death! Thb attitude of Clay and W ebster on
that occasion was very noble, and most worthy
of their history, their fame, and their, present
jiosition. The survivors of that illustrious
triad—thejthree great Senators—throwing tho
mantle of their eloquence over the body of their
dead patriot, there on the battlefield so often
grandly illustrated by tho conflict of their giant
powers. friend said to us earnestly, “j
would rislflCALHOUN’s claim to immortality on
that day’s proceedings of the Senate ! ’ Cer
tainly a mpre imposing tribute lias not been
paid to ani American since the death of W ash-
ington. The three senators were so nearly of
an age, th/distinction of each had been so early
won, so ujiform and great, and the fame of
each is safblendcd with the career of the oth
ers, that their pnrting seems like the rerc’lng
asunder oj:somo complicated growth of the
primeval forest- That it, was to the survivor;
nn occasion of deep and extraordinary emotion,
they have not permitted us to doubt. Through
their high tribute to the abilities and patriot
ism of Mr. CALHOUNtheFc runs a current of
warm familiar sorrow—the memory of a com
panionship broken up forever—and falling
tears are jseen amidst that halo of glory with
which they encirclo the pale brow of tho dead
Senator.’’)
Thursday last was devoted by Congress to
the funeral obsequies of Mr. Calhoun. Tho
telegraphjc.uccouiit states that the Senate was
called to $r<ier at 12 o’clock, but long before
that hour the galleries, and every other portion
of the Ghariiber to which visitors could obtain
access, wen 'denaely crowded, and hundreds
wor# unubK to obtain admission. At 10 min
utes past 1C o’clock, the members of the House
of Representatives, proceeded by their offi
cers, entered the Senate Chambei, and took
tho seats assigned them. Tho .Judges of the
Supreme Court, and the President and his Cab
inet soon afterwards entered, those in the
chamber rising to receive them. The Presi
dent was ctnducted to a seat-on tho right of tho
Vice President. Tho Diplomatic corps, which
was largely represented, occupied seats near
the centre of the Chamber. A large number
of the officers of the Army and Navy, and other
distinguished men, occupied the sefas in tho
lobbies. At minutes after 12 the coffin con
taining the reftiains of tho deceased was
brought into the chamber, in charge of tho
Committee of Arrangements,and followed by
the relatives, the South Carolina delegation in
the House of Representatives, and other friends
us mourners. The corpse was placed imme
diately in front ol the Vice President, and af
ter the performance of the Episcopal funeral
service the Rev. 0. M. Butler, the Chaplain
of the Senate, preached the funeral sermon,
tiaving taken his texfc from the 7th verse of the
87th Psalm. The procession was then form
ed—Senators Mangum, Clay, Weiister,
Cass, King nnd Berrien officiating as pall
bearers. There were upwards of two hundred
carriages in tho lino of the procession, which
moved to the Congressional Burial Ground,
where tho remains were deposited to await
their remove! to South Carolina.
The public offices were all closed, and
draped in mourning, nnd every mark of res
pect was shown to the memory of the illustri
ous deceased.
From WnuliinKtou-
The Washington correspondent ol tint
Charleston Courier says—
We are to have another Report on tho con
dition and resources ot California, from Wil
liam C. Jones, tho son-in-law ut Mr. Benton
Mr. Jones went to California, lust August, on
business connected with private speculation
and the affairs <>t Col. Fremont, hut, ut. the
sumo time, with some Government Agency,
which devolves oil him the duty ol making a
Report. It appears that the view ol Mr.
Jjunes, on the subject of lund titles in Califor
nia, are very different from tho9C ot Mr. T. B.
King. Mr. Jones considers large tracts of
land as private property, mid coveted by Span
ish grams, which Mr. King cluims ns belone-
ing to tbe.Governmcntof theU-S. It is verycer-
tnin that a wide field of spcculntionand litigation
is opened in California on the subject of land
titles. The authorities of San Francisco and
of numerous other towns and cities that have
been founded in California, are selling lots ot
laud, and giving titles to them, which undoubt
edly belong to tho United States; and the peo
ple of the country will never allow such titles
to be disturbed. After a while,the local author
ities will sell the gold regions or portions of it
There is now going on aproccss of squatting on
the gold lands, which the people of California
respect and guaranty ns conferring a fee simple
in the property. Some of these places, which
are thus reduced to private ownership by usage
of the inhabitants, are vastly valuable.
Persona, here, who recently left California,
say Col. Fremont’s is the richest mine in tho
world. His gold mine ho holds under some
old Spanish grant. They say that the people
of California—or, rather, those who will, after
a few years, constitute the population of Cali
forma—will never respect any such system for
the regulation of the public land as Mr. King
has rceomended. They may respect it as long as
it may suit, thoii convenience but they will reg
ulate the subject with a sole regard to their
own interests.
A negotiation is now going on between Sir
Henry Bulwer and Mr Clnyton in regard to
tho British jurisdiction in Central America, so
far ns it may interfere with the views of the
United Stutes in regard to the Oceanic Canal.
Mr. Squiers’ treaties with Nicaragua, Guute-
mula, and other States of Central America, are
before the Senate for their ratification.
The Speaker of tho House is entirely exon
erated from any blame in regard to his correc
tion of the terms of Mr. I’reston King’s mo
tion. Tho committee of the Whole wi.l not
be formed to report the California Bill, but it
can be superseded by various other proposi
tions. A propositin of compromise, embracing
a number of distinct features, will be offered in
tho Committee, and be voted upon. Every
thing is uncertain, except the fact tliatCuiifur-
nia will he brought into the Union.

The American Live Stock Insurance
Company.-—We understand that an Insurance
Company under the above name, has been com
menced with a capital of $50,000, at Vincen
nes, Ind., having for its object the insurance of
horses, mules and all descriptions of live stock,
against all combination risks; fire, water,acci
dent and disease, and contemplates establish
ing an agency in this city.
We do not see why such an institution should
not be well patronized here. While this kind
of insurance is new in this country, incorpora
tions of the same kind have long existed in dif
ferent parts of Europe, where they proved
highly successful und profitable to the commu
nity, and commended themselves to tho con
fidence of the people.
JDreadful Suicide Near Princeton.—On tho
18th inst. Mrs. Alice Wickoff, of Millstone, cut
her throat with a razor in a temporary fit of in
sanity. Mr. Wickofl'had been sitting with her
a short time previously to the commission of-
the fatal deed ; but left the room a few minutes
to attend to something in the yard, and on his
return found his ijife lying on the floor, dead,
with her throat cut from ear to ear. Her babe,
which was only a few weeks old, lay by her side,
literally drenched with its mother’s blood.
Twice, a few days before, sbe had jumped Intp
a well from which she bad been rescued by her
husband who kept a watchful eye on her move
ments. She was young, beautiful, and highly
esteemed, and leaves two children. Several
of her ancestors committed suicide. -

Desperate Outrage.—Probable Murder.—
On Monday last Lawrence Cummings of this
city, and .a man, name unknown, went lo the
house of Casper Russyurm, living in South 1st
street, Harsimus, both in a state of intoxication.
Russyurm’s family consists ,of himself and a
Mr. Farrell, bi| housekeeper; there was also
residing with him, temporarily, a Mrs. San
dals.—Shortly after Cummings entered the
house he made an attempt to commit an outrage
upon Mrs. Sandals; she resisted, and Mrs
Farrel reprimanded him severely for his con
duct, when he seized an axe lying near, struck
her with it on the back of her head, and on oth
er part3 of her body until she was supposed ta
be dead; the other man, in the mean timo, hold
ing the doer from the outside, thus preventing
Mrs. Sandals from giving #n alarm,*or calling
for assistance. The woman'is yet alive, but
the physicians say her wounds are mortal.—
Her head is awfully mangled, and several of her
ribs are broken. Cummings was arrested yes
terdayon a charge of assault and battery, and
brought before Justice Bedtord: during his
examination Dr. Lutkins sent word to the court,
stating the facts of the case, that the wounds
inflicted on the poor woman would in his opin
ion terminate, fatally; the Justice then commit
ted the prisoner to the County Jail, very justly
refusing tp accept of hail. The 6ther person is
yet at large.—Jersey City Telegraph.
C5P The Cincinnati Commercial lias been
publishing reports of the trial of General Rees
E' Price on a writ de lunatico inquirendo.
We think the following selections from the
speech of the General to the court, will con
vince any man (who has not been an inmate of
a lunatic asylum) that Price is ‘'week in the
upper story."
“The first of March 1850 is memorable—
the day of trial by Gentile law, before u Gen
tile judge and jury, of the Lord’s elect, whose
right is to judge and rule tho nations.
Tho Lord’s servant, accused of Lunacy by
Stephen S. L’Hommedieu, anil tried by Gen
tile standards of sanity (whig and democratic)
is in the opinion of one witness insane on reli
gion, nnd in tho opinion of another witness,
insane on nationality ; these opinions were cot
oborated.by other witnesses in general terms
without specification. The witnesses were
cross-examined by the lord's servant, and it
was apparent tho Bible was not the standard
of tlieir sanity. No, the Lord’s servant, alone,
stands in the judgement by the Bible standard.
I demand that Stephen 'beocme separate
from the demon-weed tobacco, and thnt ho no
longer insult a lady’s presence until washed
from its pollution. Let tho Baptist take him
in hand, and not only dip him, hut empty his
pockets from tho weed, and scrub him, that he
may bo restored.
1 thank Judge Wiseman for giving me my
raccoon-brother, John A. Matson, to guard my
legal rights, according to G> ntilo law. J le is
worthy. I will promote 1dm, nnd make him
tho royal head of the raccoon tribe, with a rac
coon dominion over the States noithwcst. of
the Ohio river, and also embracing, south of
the river, Tennessee und Kentucky. He shall
have authority to banish from his tribe hard
cider,^swine's flesh and tobacco. He shall
hold ia his tribe the rank of Maj. General; and
he has authority to organise an army for the ac
tive service, enrolling those only who owe noth
ing, and whohave become purified from Gen
tile abominations.”
Gen. Price is a brother-in-iaw of John A.
Watson, Esq., who ran fur Governor of Indi
ana on the Whig ticket at tho lust election, und
was defeated. Gen. P. hus for many years

A Smart Woman.—The Grovo Hill (Ala)
Recorder states that in the country of Choc
taw, a new one created at the recent session of
the Alabama Legislature, a woman was charged
with murdering her husband, nnd employed
a legal gentleman, whose name it is not neces
sary to mention, to defend her promising him
two negroes us his fee. He undertook her de
fence, and contray to the expectation of all, she
was acquitted; he called upon her for the two
negroes, when she gravely informed him that
the negroes belonged to her daughter. Not
relishing the idea of being cheated out of the
negroes, he instituted suit against her for per
jury, which she defended and mulcted him for
tho cost! In a short time she gave birth to an
illegitimate child, made oath that he was the
father, und compelled him to enter into bonds
