Prospect, Iff..
President Fillmore is ns cnlm as a summer's day,
without its hent. He is composed,nod tranquil amidst
the agitation around him. lie will act courteously
and wisely and according to the dictates of a sound
judgomont,. though not disregarding the advice of
experienced and trusted friends, lie has bad Mr.
Webster and Mr. Clay nud Mr. Vinton with him iu
counsel.
ty of complying with it. I do not think the matter
is yet settlOil, so far as Mr. Webster's nssent ie con
cerned. lie could not go into the office without sac
rificing his lucrative proiossional practice, which, nt
his'timo of life, he may bo expected to need theavails
of. If he has auy aspirations for the Presidency—
and he has us much right as any olie to entertain
ana ne nas us muen right as any one to entertain
them—they would be list ter promoted out of the
Cabinet than in. Mr. Crittenden would accept, it is
thought the post of Attorney General, which ne held
under Harrison.
The present Cabinet will be requested to remain
for some short time. Some of thomare very glad of
the chance thus to escape tho quandary in which they
were placed between the House and tho late Presi
dent. Mr. Clayton only teu days ago, urged the late
President to permit him to retire, for the reason, as
• he said, that neither his health nor habits of labor,
suited him for the situation. But the President
would not listen to the request. Mr. Ewing thinks
it a hard case, no doubt, to bo dropped out of offioe a
second time, by tho death of a whig President; and
would, Itis said, gladly remain. But Mr. Fillmore
cannot draw any invidious distinction between the
Cabinet members, by refusing the resignaiion of ouo,
and accepting that of another.
The effect of Mr. Fillmore's accession to the Presl.
deucy is decidedly favorable to the Compromise bill
pending in the Senutc. It was known "to Mr. Clay,
Mr. Cooper, Mr. King, Mr. Webster, and other Sena
tors that Mr. Filluioro was in favor of the bill of the
cominutee of thirteen ; and so some of them yester
day stated. The natural influence of his opinion op
the whig members, and especially in the House, will
be ns effective as that of President Taylor was in
support of Ills alternative plan. Some influences
lately countervailing the Compromise will, at all e-
venta, bo neutralized. On Tuesday morning, two
hours before it was announced in the Senate that the
President was in extremis, the adjustment bill was in
doubtful condition,as follows:—There were 2V cer
tainly for it, and 27 certainly against it.
The fate at the bill depended on the course of
Messrs. Berrien, King, Sebastian, Clarke and Greene.
The two first named Sinatojaaiould not vote for the
bill unless with amendments which could not be ob
tained, without hazarding it in the House. If they
declined voting at all, then it would require the votes
of two of tho other three gentlemen to give it a majori
ty. 29 !b 28. This showed the bill to be in danger,
what effect the lute events may have upon it remains

Horrible Attempt to Murder n Wife
by, her Hniba: *
Public Indignation has seldom
more cold blooded murderous atte;
which, on Thursday last, was planned by B
mon, farmer and citizen of Kingsville. The contem
plated victim was the wife of Harmon—young, am
iable, industrious, and wedded to him but three
months ago. She brought to her husband a hand
some property ; and ft appears the destle on his part
to have this to himself, waa the motive .ns the facts in
evidence show, which moved him to plan the murder
of his young wife. On Wednesday M ge. H. noticed
a strangeness in the movements of her husband. He
seemed wraptup in thought, and finally became round
her, told her he wished ne was rid of her, and look
ed at her ttxedly. , He afterwards plncgd his arms
round her waist, and then round her uock, mid en
deavored to coax her out the doors. He was perfect
ly cool.
He wished her to go out to the well, said the buck
et had fallen in, thqt there was a whip! cloth at the
bottom. She finally went out, but stood on the side
of the curli opposite to him. But ho worked
round, pushed her violently, and she narrowly escap
ed being precipitated in. She then escaped to the
house. Her husband was moody nnd silqnt. He did
not go to bed at his usual houri but hung on, and
wished her to go before him. She finally retired.
Through tile night he never slept. He got up, went
out of doors, nnd rolled bn the grass in tllodour yard,
then went and rolled on the bed till daylight. Mrs.
H. had no one to consult with, and the strange con
duct of her husband bewildered her. His violence
at the well he explained to bo done in jest, and lie ear
nestly wished her to go out thereagain. She refused.
Hi® artifices to entice her out, and his manceuvers to
get his hired .nan out of the way, showed a cold-
bloodcrLpei^verance in his purpose, unparalleled in
the annals or crime. This was on Thursday moru-
mng. The hired man was sent into the woods to
hunt tho cattle.
Mrs. H was engaged, as far as her feelings allowed
her, in her household work, when her husband again
wanted her to go out to the well, and, on her refusal,
he seized hersuddenly—carried her out by main force,
in spite of her struggles to escape the deuth to which
she now felt he had doomed her. To stifle her cries,
be placed his hand firmly on her mouth—his fingers
and nails digging into, and holding on to the upper
part ot her lace, and’lacerating her eyelids. He had
her now at the well; but the death struggle was not
over. He could not force her over the curb, Sud*
denly, he kicked away the curb, and plunged her
headlong down the well—thirty feet. The water
was about three feet deep. He looked down, and saw
that Mrs. Ilarmon was alive. She had turned in her
descent, and was standing there with the water to
her waist. He now called to her, and wished to draw
her out. She spoke—she feared it was but to throw
her in again. He then went to the barn, and procur
ed the cords used in tying up the cattle. Mrs. H. was
at »ffth drawn, up alive; her husband had not ac
complished his purpose, and now he was anxious for
her to change her clothes.
The hired man arrived at this juncture, and was
told by H. that Mra. H. had fallen into the well. He
shortly left and went to his brother’s—returned, and
harnebsed his horses—said he was going to have them
shod. The situation of Mrs. H. was dreadful—dread
fully bruised, her face bleedfng, suffering from so
8**. eata flbock, and dreading worse. She went out
ot the house, and through the green, and over the
fences, to Mr. Parker’s, at whose door she fainted.
It was long before she recovered and could tell what
she suflered, and what she had escaped. Parker
went over soon after to Harmon’s—found him cool
ana collected, and had some conversation with him
about the crops P. alluded to the accident; and H.
assured him it was a sad accident. Upon complaint
made to S. G. Thurber, a warrant was issued. Har-
mon was arrested and kept in custody through the
night; but he escaped from the person in charge,
took to the woods, and was not retaken till alter
a long search. He drew a knife on Benson, who
first discovered his hiding place, and threatened to
rip him up.” He waa secured ; Ilia examination
has been hofnm Vnnnivn r rv.,,—v m m_
before Esquire Thurber, of Kingsville,
and he la committed to the county jail, on the charge
ot an aaaBult with intent to kill. His bail was fixed
at$8,00. Mra. H. lies in a precarious state, at her
father's house, in Kingsville.—Ashtabula (Ohio) Tel

Furious, Animal. . On Monday afternoon, a wild
kteer broke, out of anincloaurc on the Thunderbolt
Road, nnd dashed through several of our streets at a
furious speed. When In South Broad street near the
common, he attacked a lady, who fortunately escap
ed with slight damage to her dress, and tile fright
which the attack occasioned. Mr. M. Houlihan, a
city officer, in attempting to gapture him, w«s severe
ly gored in the right ride aqd we regret to learn ia

ble exertion, the steer was captured and shot.
Mr. Fillmore and the South.
The Richmond Enquirer, in commenting on tho ldt»
ters oi Mr. Fillmokf., extracts from whiuh we pub;
liabed yesterday, alludes to Other expreassions of
opinion by that gentleman, which had escaped our
memory. The Enquirer admits that the Albany let
ters ate very good as far as they go, but adds:
“The correspondence leaves the other odious opin
ions of his fatuous Erie letter, viz: in favor of abol
ishing slavery iu the District Of Columbia, and in fa.
vor at excluding the South from the territories, totally
unracanted and in full force.
“Wcculmly, but in fear, awiiit a formal proclamation
of bis opinions, in hissiow position, and in thepi esent
critical state ot tho Country. Let him-cali around
him a new, able and patriotic cabinet, and pursue a
just and liberal coursd—und lie*will save the Union.
Butlethim adhere to]his former opinions and asso
ciations, and yield to- the pressure from the Norih,
at once the Union is snapped into fragments.”
It ia said that Mr. Fillmore's viewa have under
gone a muterlal change on the Suntheru question
since its recent agitation in Congress, and that he is
anxious that itshould be amicably settled. Itis
known that he is unfriendly to Seward, and thathe
is favorable to the passage 'df Mr. Clay’s Compro
mise hill. Many sensible and patriotic men of
the North, becoming convinced that further pres
sure against the South on this question would
be fatal to the Union, haVe manifested a deter
mination to take high con-Aitutional ground and
tQ resist the spirit of - fanaticism and dentagogu-
ism which hus sodght to control the political
action of the country. VVe still entertain a hope,
and the intelligence from Washington, is such os to
encourage that hope, that Mr. Fillmore will meet
the expectations, of good men of all sections, and
thatto his wisdom and patriotism, the country will
owe the amicable settlement of this vexed question
and the re-establishment ot the national harmony and
concord.

The Caot’3 in Alai Asia.—The Greenville SoiMh
Alabamian of the 13th inst says—Owing to the heavy
rains with which we have been visited, the crops, both
of corn and cotton, have been seri msly injured In
thia section. More titan a bare average crop cannot
be expected.
Accounts from Sumpter and Greene counties, in
the same state, are less favorable. The boll worm has
appeared in some sections at least a month earlier
than ever before, and threatens the entire destruction
of the cotton crop, which, owing to the heavy ruins,
is very backward. The corn crop also promises to
be short, owing to the unfavorable weather, and the
ravages of the cut worm iu the early part of tho sob
sou.
" ' A® regards the operations of the new Administra-
tiou, I have nothing positive to Rdd to my fast. Mr.
Webster is still mentioned in connection with thi,
^ „ connection with the
State Department, but Mr. Fillmore’s Free Soil friends
atrermously object. They require that the Department
shall go into the hands nfone of tliffir own faction-
but from all accounts, Mr. F. is inclined to do as he
pleases. His views have undergone material change
—rj since his election, In regard to his anti-slavery doc-
triae, and he will be found worthy tho confidence
of-the majority of both sections. In the subordl
nate posts, a great many changes maybe expected,
especially in the South and Northwest. The foreign
diplomatic body will be almost wholly changed—
But here permit me to predict, that if Mr. Webster
is chosen for the State Department, Mr. Abbot Law
rence will be retained as Minister to Great Britain

Mr. Benton has been at variance with the acting Exec
utive, and cannot hope to act longer behind tFie "cui -
tidn. Indeed to sum up, the old regency is wholly
dissolved, scattered nnd disbanded. ‘
To-day Mr. Fillmore called around hinianumbor oi
his immediate friends, and has taken council with
them in reference to these selections; but the public
will learn nothing of hia final intentions until Monday
•next. The South wenr smiling faces, for some cause

Steamboat Casualties in 1850—A list of tho steam"

the loss of four hundred and sixty-one lives, and a
number of persons injured and scalled, besidea loss
of property.
Strange Incident.—VVe were informed a few day'
ag j, of a very singular incident which happened to a
colored boy at a carpenter’s shop in the upper part of
Fayetteville. The young men at work in the shop
were making a coffin, and called in a colored boy who
was passing along, to get into tho coffin to see if it
would fit him ; and he asking them who they were
making i t for, they told him jocosely, forhim, when
in fact it waa bespoke for opolher person. When
the coffin was taken to tho corpse it was made lor the-
body had swelled so much, it wds impossible to get it
into it, and the coffin was taken back,und a box made.
In a few days the prophetic joke 'became realized ;
for the boy died and was buried in that coffin. A'

and fa neatly bound in cloth, iu uniform style with
Hume’s England, just completed by the same houee.
These popular publishers have laid the Americt®

by Prof. McCulloch, late melter and refiner of the
Philadelphia mint, off ering the government, for the use
of the mint, a method of refining millions of dollars
ot California gold as readily as small quantities are
now refined, and at but one half the cost of labor and
materials now required. By this method he states
that the mint at Philadelphia could refiue ton millions
of dollars per month, and the interest be saved to the
government on the large bullion of $2 500,000, now
kept in the mint for the accommodation of deposi
tors, by advances without acharge upon their bullion.
Such a discovery, at such a time, is the most oppor
tune thing that could happen, and cannot fail to exer
cise an important influence on the commerce and bul
lion trade of the world.

the growing taste for country villas, which are fist

an evidence of tho improving taste of our peoplein

The History of the Confessional. By John HrnM

New-York: Harper & Brothers. ;
The learned author has given to the Protestai
world an able and searching argument against til
modern innovations sought to be made in the AdoI
tolic Plan of the English Church. Puspyij,^
Maskellism receive a powerful rebuke, vvliih; a
Church of Romo is boldly assailed. Tli* antlf
wields a graceful pen, and hfa argument will be r A
with satisfaction by all who have a taste for p u J
forcible and eloquenjt style, however they may gig;
