MORNING NEWS. BY JOHN M. COOPER. W. T. THOMPSON, EDITOR terms: ( DAILY PAPER $4 00 | TR\-WKEKLY $2 00 All Now Advertisements appear in both papers. Horrid Assassination.—A most horrid and shacking mtfirdor was committed inlhe vicinity of Decntur, on Thursday, the 21st u't., by Dr. G.-W. Buchannn, upon the body of William II. Lashly. Most of our readers will doubt less remember that Buchanan was arrested for stealing a watch in the summer of lust year, which coused at the time and for months after, considerable excitement in Newton county, l’ublic opinion seqmed to sway to and fro for a long time in reference to the matter—but there ore circumstances attending the commission of the last offence,which go far to substantiate the truth of the first charge which was preferred against Buchanan. The facts connected with the commission of this most aggravated offence have boon communicated to us somewhat in de tail. It appears that during the excitement in reference to the charge which was first prefer red against Buchanan, that Lashly Was one of the number who believed him innocent, until Buch- atinfi, presuming upon his friendship, inquired frequently if be over heard John Dunn, (who wus the principal witness for tho State in the watch Case,) “Say any thing about him or threa ten hts litis," to which Lashly replied that he had not. Buchanan thon stated to Lashly, “that it made no difference whether he lmd heard Dunn say so or not, so-bh would tell him so, and stand pp to it in u court of justice.” “That,” he said, "would answer the same purpose, and that three or four hundred dollars was no object to him.” Ho also reminded Lashly that he was Very poor and dependent, and had to work hard fpr a living, and, therefore, ne had bettor accept the offer.” To all of which, Lashly in dignantly replied, "that he would not swear a lie and send his soul to hell for him or any otbar man.” Mr. LuBhly kept the particulars of this con versation to himself' as long os he could; but, finally, ho could contain hithself no longer, and communicated them to several citizens, who advised him to take out a warrant and have Buohanun arrested. He suid “hi* had resolved to make Buchanan’s propositions public, even at the Sacrifice of bis life—that ho would per mit no such villainy to remain concealed within .his breastj” but declined tho advice of his friends, stating as a reason, "that ho looked upon n man who would mnko such a proposi tion none toe good to serve cheerfully in the Penitentiary for years, and come out and take his life for exposing him.” That he would, however, suggest a plan, which ho believed to bo the only safe one, which was to induce Buchanan to renew the proposition in the hear ing of others. That he wanted to reveal the »ecfet, but Would like to he forced to do so, as lie thong,,t he would be in less danger of los ing his life than if he voluntarily prosecuted him —Luslily manifesting, during the whole recital, fear and apprehension that his life was in im minent danger at the hands of Buchanan. The melancholy sequel proves that lie did not mistake Buchanan’s tiue character. On the 21st ult., about 10 o’clock, A. M., he Went to the new budding of Mr. Lashly, about half a •mile from' Decatur, where he was ut work. Some conversation immediately ensued, wffir.li was in part heard by the Sheriff and Mrs. Mur phy, at a short distance, who went to arrest Buchanan, and hear what passed between him and Lashly. Buchanan first inquired of Lashly if he had any water. Lashly pointed him to u spring about fifty yards from the house, and came down from the roof and started with B. in that direction, walking before him. About half way between the house and the spring, Buchannn drew down his double-barrelled gun, and shot Lashly, placing the gun nearly to his head, and shooting oft' his left cheek and nose. He then deliberately took the gun which Lashly had, (he having been out turkey hunting that morning,) placed it to his head and shot him again, mangling it in a most shocking manner. He then laid Lashly’s gun down by him, and left in a fast walk in a westorly direction. This was done in full view of Mr. Muyphy and Culppel Williamson, who, being unprepar ed, did not venture to show themselves, lie be ing armed with a good shot gun and a brace of pistols- He, doubtless, did notapprehend that any human eye saw him commit tho murder, and no doubt, designed and intended to return to Decatur, believing that the crime would bo charged.to some one else. This is inferred frtjm tho'f'act that he left his horse behind-him, and about $30 in his office, and, on leaving * town, endeavored to impress several persons with the belief that he was goiug to Mr. Jones’ house, which is about one mile from De catur, and was seen to go in that direction un til he passed out of sight—hut immediately turned north and went and killed Lashly, and in less than fifteen minutes was at Mr. Jones’, seemingly in'fine spirits, lively, perfectly calm, and free from all excitement. He remarked to Mr. Jones “that ho had come out to get his dinner," and asked “what he should do to pay for it.” Mr. Jones replied “that he did noc know,unless he brought the old lady water to chok with." He immediately took the pail atid went and brought some water, and after his return was talking in a lively and animated tone with the fam'ly, when an acquaintance of Mr. Jones' rede up and remarked that Buch- a^anan lmd killed Lashly. Oa lieari ng this Buch- Mkauan left suddenly, and h^i not since been BBiheard of. It is evident that ho did not in- pf* tend to leave tho country, but had determined to kill Lashly, and if suspicion should rest Up on him, ho wps no doubt fully prepared, in his •own mind, to prove un alibi. This fiend in human shape laid his plans well, and had not Mr. Murphy and Col. Wil liamson went with Lashly, ut his own request, they Would have been successful. But the deepest laid plans to conceal crime are some- j times frustrated, and it has become an old ...saying that “Murder will out!” We sincerely hope that Buchanan will not escape, hut that he will yet be apprehended, and made to suffer jlte pepalty ttffixed by law, for tho commission of a premeditated cold-blooded murder. Buchanan was raised in Georgia, and has friends in various parts of Mississippi, where he will probably tarry until he determines defi nitely upon his course. He is n man of low startle, well set, about five feet .six or eight in ches high, heavy eye brows, black eyes, and dark red complexion and dark hair. He speaks low and l.as a bad downcast counte nance, but affects to be vprj social. He is a great lady’s man, and remarkably food of but- f termilk, which ho rarely fails to inquire for, but seldom cats meat of any kind, especially pork wti.br:**. about I; is be- licved.that at least $1000 reward will be im mediately offered for his arrest. Mr. Lashly wns born in Virginia, hut his father moved'tp Murfreesboro, North Carolina, from which placo be emigrated to Mississippi. He was 4 pour man, and ha! a wife and thteo children, who' were entirely dependent, upon hiaeiertjftns for support. He was considered by his neighbors and friends a very honest nnd good, but simple man.—Eastern Clarion, Paulding, Mississippi. Kidnapping a Girl.—During tho confusion- arising from the fire on Magazine nnd,Duplantior streets, on Sunday night lust, a week ago, a girl, aged about thirteen yours, an adopted child of a Mr. Bloomfield, residing somewhere in that vicinity, was kidnapped. The particu lars, so far as they have become known, have been related to us by Cuptuin Forno, to whom Mr. Bloomfield made application yesterday, to assist him in recovering the girl. At the time of tho fires she was on the street with a young child of Mr. Bloomfiold’s family, and wus induced to enter a houso occupied by a woman who has hitherto borne a fair reputation in tho neighborhood. About dusk the girl was forced into o cab and driven off, und ihe child sent home to Mr. Bloomfield. By some means, how has not transpired, Mr. Bloomfield yester day discovered the cub driver who took the girl off. He acknowledges that he took her, hut says tile women who engaged him represented her to ho a runaway slave, and in the twilight supposing her to be a light mulattress, he was not surprised at the coei cion used, und drove her to a Iioubo near the Lafayette line, where another woman, apparently tho mistress of the house, took charge of her. Tho cab driver proffered to take Mr. Bloomfield to tho house, und, since they sturted, Captain Form) has heard nothing further of tho matter The case is certainly a mysterious one, and if it be real ly a kidnapping, is one of tho most audacious we have ever heard of.—N. O. True Delta. «Awfut, Tornado at FIoboken.—About 5 o’clock on Saturday evening last, during the westerly storm of snow, hail, and rain, a sudden hurrienne struck the green-house of A. E. Ste vens, Esq., near his residence, on the hill just above Sybil Cave, und rotally demolished this beautiful ornament, seriously injuring an aged man who happened to bo inside at the time, and whirled a tree, toots and all, to the distance of 15 or 20 feet The green-house was about 30 by 100 feet, and 25 teet high, formed in an arch style, of frame-timber, wire, and some thousands of glass-panes—vulued at several thousand dollars. Tho glass was scattered like hail in every direction for a quarter of a mile, literally covering the earth with frag ments. The fonce-encloBuro where the atiria! balloon was somo time since building, was gathered up ns if hut a handful and dashed in on awful wreck flat to the earth.—Jersey City Sentinel. Illegality of the Webster 'Trial.—A pam phlet with this title, by Lysander Spooner, has been published. The uuthur holds that Dr. Webster was not tried by a legal jury, because three persons were excluded from the panel on account of their opposition to capital punish ment. He advances the singular opinion, which if put in practice, would defeat tho end of justice in nine cases out of ten, that “if the punishment prescribed by statute be such as to disincline, or deter the minds or consci ences of the men drawn as jurors, from u con viction, the statute must fail of execution, rath er than the jury be packed [?] to avoid that obstacle.—Boston Jour. Tuesday Morning, April 23, 1850. . LARGEST CIRCULATION! 1^ The Daily Morning News has now a circu lation larger than that of JKJTII THE OTHER DAI LIES TOGETHER,mid consequently is the best advertising medium. We state this fact in justice to ourselves and for tho benefit of the advertising public. EjE" ® co P n g 0 for our rates of advertising. KP Advertisements should bo handed in at an early hour, to insure their appearance in the paper of the next morning. Wo are indebted to a commercial friend, for the following despatches;— FIRST DESrATCIt. Charleston, April 22d, 12 o’clock 10, P- M. Up to this hour, six hundred bales of Cotton huve been sold. Tho quotations arc: Middling fair 121; Fair 13; F ully fair 131 cents. SECOND DESPATCH. Charleston, April 22d, 1 o'clock, 10, P. M. Market unsettled; 800 hulcs Bold. Middling, 12 to 12f ; Fnir 12} to 13 cents. Boston, April 15. Elopement from Boston.—Quite an excite ment has been created at tho north part of this city, by the sudden disappearance of a fine young girl, about 15, named Mercy Belinda Steadman. Sho is nupposed to have left with a young man about 21, known as John Cary or John Win chester Carey, a painter by trade, for the pur pose of being married against the will of her parents. On Friday, the young miss left home with her elder sister, who is mhrried, to visit tho family of her lover, and on returning down Han over st. Mercy slipped down Cross st. and has not been seen since.—Mesmerizers have been consulted as to - the whereabouts of the parties, who pretend to have seen them at the U. S. Hotel, in Providence. A telegraph dispatch was immediately sent there, when it was as certained that no hotel of that name existed in Providence. A Philadelphia Mystery—A Philadel phia letter to tho Baltimore Sun says— The lovers of tho marvellous have been great ly excited this morning by tho discovery of hu man remains walled up in a vault, in tearing down an old house on the lower side of Wal nut, below Third st. The remains had been en closed in a mahogany coffin, built up in an erect position at the rear corner of the cellar, and an arching over it. The vault wns just large e- nough to contain the coffin, and before being broken open presented the appearance of an abutment to increase tho strongth of the wall against which it rested. The wood of the coffin was so much decayed that its strongth could not be well arrived at, though the head and foot boards were entire. On the top was the remnant of an oval plate of copper, which in its day had probably been sil ver-plated. Tho bones within it were mostly- decomposed by the quick lime with which the coffin was filled. Whether this is the evidence of somo foul murder, or merely u freak for the disposition of the body by the relatives of the deceased, is only a matter of conjecture. The house was formerly the residence of . the Bul lock family. Immense Cargo.—The ship Dairiada, Capt. Kelly, of Belfast, which was cleared for Liver pool oil Saturday, by James Mageo & Co., takes out the largest cargo, vie. believe, ever shipped from this port. She has 4253 bales of cotton, weighing 1,958,073 pounds, and valued at $220,419. In addition to which she has 100 tierces of beef, 50 barrels of pork, 1500 staves, and a lot of returned passengers’ stores. What a prodigious amount of property to beailoatin one bottom.—A’. O. Picayune, 167A. Centennial Anniversary.—-It will bo seen by the notice in another column, that tho Un ion Society of this city, one of tho oldest asso ciations in tho United States, will celebrate its One Hundredth Anniversary, this day, by tho observance of suitable ceremonies. Tho mem bers will assemble ut their Hall at 12 o’clock, M., when the society will bo organized for the tiansaction of business. In tho evening, at 8 o'clock, tho Annual Address will ho delivered tho Second Baptist Church, by tho Kev. Mr. Tustin. Tho public are invited to attend. ES? 1 * Typographical misprints aro always annoying, and sometimes laughably ridiculous. The Lexington Locomotive says it is indebted tc a member of Congress for pup dogs. We suppose he means pub. does. Wo once read of the sinking of a steamboat, which, in ascend- tho Ohio, ran foul of a rat. Tho omission of / changed a raft to a rat. H®” By reterenco to an advertisement in another column, it will oe seen that the piopri- etors of the Savannah and Charleston U. S. Mail Line of Steamers, in order to afford our citizens an opportunity of participating in the funeral honors to be paid to the remains of Mr. Calhoun to-morrow, have reduced the price of through tickets to a single fart). The Metn- mora will leavo her wharf for Charleston this evening at 8J o’clock. Prof. Webster.—The Lowell Courier says: We here it said that Dr. Webster is desirous that as eaily a day as possible should be assign ed for his execution. Wo rather doubt it. While there is life, there is hope, and it is not imj^ssible, though hardly probable,that his sen tence will bo commuted. Vandalism and Sacrilege.— Some per sons on tho evening of Saturday week enter 'd St. James’s Church,St. Johns, (Lake Cham plain,) under the charge of the Rev. Charles Bancroft, rector, and removed a monument therein elected by tho officers of the 82nd Regt. in memory of Mr. Perry of the same reg iment, carried it into the grave yard and there broke it in pieces. A reward of $200 is offer 'd by the members qf the church for the dis covery of the*offenders. Texas Seat of Government.—Tho Hous ton Telegraph of the 11th inst., says that verbal returns have been received at Austin, giving that place a majority of 900 votes over all other places for the seat of Government. This majority is independent of the Rio Grande vo te, which is doubtless almost unanimous for Austin. Of tho result, therefore, no doubt ap pears to be entertained. The valuo of pro perly is said to be rapidly advancing in Austin. More Foul Play.—We mentioned a day or two since, that the body of a girl 18 or 20 years of age, was lately found in a drain at Saco, Mo., with a rcj)e tied about tho hands and neck. Since the discovery, a quack doctor has disappeared. It is supposod that the girl died under medical hands. Left for Execution.—It was rumored in Boston on Monday, that the Governor and Council had decided finally in the case of Pear son, not to commuto the punishment, and that the day of execution was fixed for the 19th of May next. The Cause dfislligh Water at N. Orleans. —A Baton Rouge correspondent of the Albany Argus attributes the increase of water in the lower part of the “Mississippi river, of late years, to the fact that the river has been short ened move than forty miles by cutting of!' the bends. The effect is to let down the water faster than tho 'hannel below will carry it oft', and as overflow^ <jie consequence. ' ESP Tho Louisville Journal of Commerce mentions tho occurrence of cases of Cholera on the bonts plying on the Mississippi. Nine deaths occurred on one boat a few days since. Court Martial of Captain Hunter.— The trial of Captain Hunter before a Court Martial, is now going on in Annapolis. The charges have relation to tho affair at Alvarado, during the Mexican war, which Captain (then Lieut.) Hunter made an attack upon and cap lured, without orders and in violation of orders. Broese and Aulick, and Commander Buchanun. were examined on Tuesday. Mr. Hagner is the Judge Advocate. Chaplain at Rome.—It is stated that the Rev. Mr. Hastings of Boston, has been ap pointed by Mr. Cass, Chaplain to the United States Legation at Rome, and the Government sanctions his preaching every Sunday at tho Embussy—a concession which the English have been vainly endeavoring to obtain for the last sixty years. Premiums for Liberia.—-The Philad el- phiu American, states that Ellicott Cresson, Esq.) of that city, feeling strongly the impor tance of cherishing a spirit of agricultural en terprise among the’citizens of the new African Republic, has generously proffered, through the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, to bear all the expenses of providing four silver medals for the encouragement of African far ming. The Institute has accepted the over ture, and accordingly valuable medals will be awarded for tho largest crops of coffee, cotton, sugar, and palm oil, prodneed in Liberia in 1851. [Special Correspondence of the Morning News.[ Highly Important from Florida! ANOTHER INDIAN WAR ANTICH’ATF.D. BILLY BOWLEGS' PROCLAMATION^ By the fast sailing Fishing Smafck Cockle, Capt. John Smith, which reached hero at a late hour last night, we are in receipt of our cor respondent’s letters from BigCypress, enclosing tho following important Proclamation of tho ronowned Indian Chief, Billy Bowlegs, which will he read with absorbing interest by the people of the United States.

The Admission of California. We published on Saturday, an extinct from tho correspondence of the New York Herald, in which the writer assigns the reasons for the extraordinary efforts now making in Congress, to have California, wo may say tho boundless California?, admitted into the Union. The wri ter intimatesihat tho anxiety and indecent haste which has characterized the course of certain Senators, and others at Washington, is in con sequence of the vast interests which they and their friends have acquired in certain Mexican claims in that country, which can only bo secur ed to them by tho admission of the territory os n State. That this is true, in part, we have no doubt. The whole history of California is one of reckless speculation and covetous-, mercenary overreaching. Thousands havo rushed to' the “field of tho quartz of gold,” in organized and armed bands, and boldly seize upon its golden acres. Adventnrers and gamblers of every grade have staked off their claims and pitched their tents upon tho lands acquired by the blood and treasure of the nation, and now they clam orously demand tho legalization of their whole sale system of land piracy by being admitted at once into tho Union—(or the personal accom modation and benefit of these adventurers and speculators, all the forms and precedents of legislation aro to be disregarded, and tho sov ereignly of a vast realm, embracing almost the entire coast of the Pacific, is to be formerly surrendered to them. It is to be regretted that some means cannot be adopted to show the people the true interests involved in this mat ter ; interests that have brought together the very antipodes of party, in the movement for the speedy and unconditional admission. Ben ton, whoso son-in-law, Col. Fueemont, is said to have ucquirod a California fortune in somo twelve or eighteen months, which makes him the richest man in the world, and Horace Greely, of the Tribune, whose agent, Bayard Taylor, has but recently returned from the discharge of this duties with which he was commissioned in California, are both moving tho Heavqns to secure tho admission of the new State. We aro glad to seo Messrs. Foote, Clay, Webster, und Cass, occupying tho positions they do on this question,nnd we sincerely hope that tho wholo matter may bo thoroughly sifted in the committee to which- it will he referred with the other exciting subjects with which it has been connected, We believe Benton and his co-laborers have good reasons for so vio lently opposing tho reference. We trust these reasons will be disclosed, and that such provi so may bo engrafted upon tho bill of admis sion, ns will effectually protect the nation from the stupendous frauds which we lmvo reason to believe are contemplated. We havo no objections to the admission of California with proper restrictions and limita tions. But let it be done culmly, deliberately, and honestly.. We alluded some time since to the Mormuii proposition to embrace California nnd Deseret under one govenmont. This suggestion of the saints, no doubt, looked to the independence of that country, if its claims to unconditional admission to the Union wore rejected. We would not be at all astonished to see such a movement. But even if it were possible for them to accomplish it, we doubt whether this Union would ho greatly tho loser by the rid dance. It would he quite as well, perhaps, that the exclusive possessors of the country should bo at the chaige of maintaining their title and authority, as that wo should give them posses sion, and thon he at the trouble and expenso of ptotccting them.

The Charleston Courier of yesterday m or „. ing, attending to the programme of the ar rangements which have been made in tlmtciiy to receive tho remains of the Hon.

Every organised Association has been called out. The Civic authorities—the Firemen—tho Masonic and Odd Fellow’s Societies—the Be nevolent Societies—tho Military—every thin"' that can add to tho mournful pageantry of grief, has been called into requisition, to demonstrate by all outward feeling, the deep regret which inwardly pervades every member of our com munity on this solemn occasion. From information reserved yesterday, as will bo seen by a notice in our columnB, the body will reach Charleston on Thursday morning, on which day an entire suspension of business has been recommended by the proper author ity, and we are sure will be universally observ ed.
