FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ROMAN
TIC AND TRAGICAL AFFAIR.
It is uow stated that William E. Caldwell and I.oui
aa Knapp, tho parties to the indent tragody at Troy,
•were formerly engaged to ho married, but that dur
ing hia absence, on a voyage to China, ahe was im
portuned to marry Knapp, nud alio yielded, although
»ho still loved Caldwell. Their mooting, after a long
separation, resulted in her declaring her determina
tion to desert her husband. Sho did not wish to live
without Caldwoll, nnd told him that sho could not,
and that it was her determination to remain with
him, notwithstanding sho was tho wifo of another.
Caldwell finally loft hot, on a visit to his friends In
Albany, promising her to return to New York in a
few days. A friend of Caldwell says:
“After the bout was under way, and wliilo ho was
walking the deck, to Ids uttor asnmishm mt, she ap
peared before him. The thought at once pierced
him that she hud indeed abandoned her home, nnd re
solved, regardless of all the tremendous consequences,
to Htiarc hia fate; and her word* shortly corroborate
rd what had passed, like lightning thro' his soul.
” hey immediately proceeded to hia state-room, and
there they resolved, in the face of all tho terrible cir
cumstances around thorn, to never part again. They
did not part; but arrived at Albany, and took lodg-
lngs at the Delavan House. IIp left her there, nnd
made hia contemplated visit to Whitehall, and return
ed in about ten days, she in the meun time receiving
her meals in her room, according to his suggestion,
in order to avoid observation. He returned and took
rooms with her at tho American Hotel, where he
wrote the published letter to thef editor of tho White
hall paper; he remained at the American n few days,
nut thought it was too public a place, and engaged
lodgings at a private house in Jay street, where he re
mained about a week; then took tho eastern cars and
went to Williamatown, and was surprised and pur
sued by somo one, as he remarked in Troy, that he
had whipped two constables and escaped, tho par
ticulars ol which will soon appear. He escaped in a
one horse carriage, and arrived at the St. Charles Ho
tel on Tuesday morning, about 4 o’clock. They were
resolved to die;— with Jtis own hands he opened the
portals of eternity.”
Tho following memorandum in pencil, and appar
ently in a lady’s hand, was found in the room of tho
hotel at Albany in which the bloody tragedy was per
petrated.
“Dear Ma : ^ ou take my black hat. Give my ear
rings with blue stones to dear sister Caroline. The
rest of my things let Henry do as ho pleases with.
The ring on my forefinger let brother Bill take off and
wear lor my sake. I hope you arc us well prepared
to die ns 1 am. Adieu.
“Don’t let any body wear Frank's clothes, for my
sako.” J
Another account of the affair snya :
Caldwell (tho deceased) had been convicted of bur-
glury, (not “arson” as stated in another paper,) and
sent to the Auburn State Prison, from which it is
said, he was soon discharged, on proof of his inno
cence. For this statement, however, wo do not pre
tend to vouch, though it was known that ho was of
respectable connection.
Mrs. Louisa C. Knapp, (the otlior victim,) had a
husband livingin corntortablecircumstances, in Mur
ray street, New York, Frank H. Knapp, who has
lor some time past been suffering from intestinal
consumption, so that for the last six months he has
been incapacitated lor business. Caldwell had be
come an acquaintance of his family, in May last, nnd
hod finally cultivated an intimacy with his wife, that
was considered objectionable by Jvnnpp, and Jed to
some unpleasant remarks between them.
On tho day after President Taylor’s funeral in New
V ork, (the 24th ol July!) Caldwoll called upon Knapp
and induced him to lido out v.'ith him from two to
four o'clock in tho aiternoon. While they worn out
t.uldwell sought to explain hia conduct and relievo
Knapp of uny suspicion. When they returned, Knapp
Invited Cnldwcll into Ids house, but the latter excus
ed himself by saying he hud an engagement that after
noon at five o’clock. When Knapp entered ids houso
ho missed his wife, but thou.-hi she had gone to her
sister's or mother’s. lie soon discovered a trunk of
her s gone, but the servant could not tell where it had
gone. He went to her mother's, nnd found she had
not been tliore. He then supposed she had gone to a
sister s in the country, hnd on returning, found under
tho tolds of his bod, a noto in which sho stated sho
had gone to her sister's. He supposed she had pos-
sibly gone oil in a mill', nud would be back in a day or
two. Ho went to tho sister’s and found she hud not
boon there. Inquiry at the steamboats led him to be
lieve that Caldwell und his wifo had gone up the Hud -
soil the same night About a weok subsequently, a
g entleman irom Brooklyn saw the guilty pnir in Al-
any. They appeared to be going from tho etcambont;
he did not know the gentleman, but was acquainted
With tho woman. Since that timo nothing was heard
ot the wretched pair until intelligence wns received
of the horrid tragedy Rt the St Charles.
The woman was twenty-four years nnd seven
months old. Sho hnd been married six years, np-
noared to love her husband, and died childless, having
lately buried her infant, aged noarly two years.—
Caldwell was some thirty years of ago, and had boen
loading a dissolute life.
Wo nro disposed to think that the truth in regard
to this shocking affair lias not yet come out Wo
cannot bring ourself to believe that tho woman,
wretched and abandoned ns sho was, 'consented to
her own death at tho hands of her seducer. It is
much more probable that ho murdered her, intend
ing to make it appear that sho had committed suicide,
hut after the deed was dono, fear of detection nnd
remorso impelled him to self destruction. There is
something entirely too romantic in tho implied con
fidence of bis victim, who according to the accounts
must have submitted her neck to hit knife, and then
folded her arms around him in death.

Artesian Wells in the South.—At Millwood,
in Greene county, Alu, there is a mill owned by D:.
Withers, called tile Artesian Mill. The water whicu
moves it is derived entirely from six artesian wells
which range ui depth from 300 to 600 teet. They fur
nish 1090 gallons of water per minute. As the wuter
is nowhere visible under the mill, says tho Beacon,
it lias when in motion the appearance of a self-acting
piece of machinery.

Monday Morning, September 12, 1850.
Largest Circulation iu the City!!
Marine Disaster.—Arrived at this port on Satur
day last the schr. Lysander, Capt. Powers, 46 days
from St. Juandc Nicuguarn, Central America, bound
to Now York. She is in ballast, and put into this
port iu consequence of shortness of provisions, loss
of sails, nnd being in a leaking condition. She brought
to this city Mr. IV. B. Noble, of Stateu Island, Now
York, who was wrecked in the bark Lucy F.llen,
Capt Catts. of Boston, oh the coast of South Ameri
ca, on tho 17th of June last.
All the crew of the schr. Lysander have been sick
with chills and fever. Capt. Powers informs us that
when four miles off of St. Juan, he picked up a bout
which contained five seamen, and brought two of
them to this city—the otlior three wont iiito port in
in the boat. They were a portion of the crew of tho
brig Nathan Rally, Capt. Rally, castaway on Cere-
na Roof, about the 8th of July lust. The Captain,
Mato and two pussongors of the Nathan Dally took a
bout and proceeded to tile Island of Old Providence,
Central America, hut it is not known whether they
reached it.
Sickness at Jacksonville, Fla.—We learn
that the broken-bone fever, which has been prevail
ing in Jacksonville, Fla, for several weeks, is subsid
ing, aud now but few cases occur. At one time up
wards of 40 persons were down with it.
8t. Mnryis Southern Rights Club.
We invite tho attention of our readers to the pro
ceedings in another column of tho mooting at St.
Marys for tho purpose of organizing a Southern
Rights Club in Camden County. This movement is
hut another evidence of tho strong feolling which per
vades tho people of Georgia of all parties, in refer
ence to the great sectional question now agitating
and convulsing tho country from its political centre
at Washington to its remotest borders. The prearn -
bleand resolutions disclose the character and objects
of tho association, which we doubt not will meet tho
cordial approbation of all who feel tile necossity for
unanimity and concert of action in the maintenance
and defence of Southern Rights. One prominent
feature of tho association is to disseminate informa
tion among the people in relation to the question at
issue, a feature that cannot be two highly approved.
Give the people unbiassed truth, let them bo tho
roughly informed on the subject in all its bearings,
and they will act wisely prudently und patriotically.
It is thus that confidence and unanimity will bo re
stored nud tho South rendered invincible in defence
of her just lights."
Wd trust that tho recommendation contained in'
the fourth resolution will be duly considered, aud
that those among us, of both political parties, whose
position devolves upon them responsibility of moving
in sueli matters, will take tho proper steps to obtain
a similar organization iu this city.
Despatch—Tho fine steamer Hancock, Captain
Murray, arrived from Augusta early Friday morn
ing, discharged 670 bales cotton and a quantity of
freight, took on board about 160 tons of freight for
tile interior, nnd departed at 10 o'clock on Saturday
morning for Augusta.
• I3P Wo observe that Col, C. R. Hanleiter has
been dismissed from the employment of tlio Western
Branch Telegraph Company in consequence of his
having written the Gaduielle letter to tho Georgia
Citizen. The citizens of Atlanta have nlso had a
meeting in which' they express their “ decided con
demnation of the striking assimilation to abolitionism
which its (the letter’s) sentiments manifest." The
Colonel publishes a card in the Atlanta Intelligencer
in which he disavows being an abolitionist nnd de
clares his Intention to remain in his native State, and
to protect himself from violence. We formerly
knew Col. Hanleiter. If he is obnoxious to the
charge of abolitionism his sentiments on that subject
have undergone a radical change since 1844. He is
a zealous pnrtizan, nnd somewhat indiscreet, nnd
though we were surprised to rend such sentiments
from his pen ns those contained in the fetter alluded
to, still wo are inclined to attribute them to the hasty
cbulition of personal or party feeling rather than to
any settled principle of hostility to tile institutions
of the South.
l-l^The Georgia Citizens made its appearance on
P riday, ou a half sheet. The editor shows no dis
position to accede to tho demands of tho late meet
ing, We have had no .advices from Macon of a later

SOUTHERN RIGHTS CLUB.
St. Mnryis, Camden County, Geo.
The Southern People Not opposed to Primary
Meetings.
Whereas, A momentous crisis now impends over
us—a crisis in which are involved our dearest rights
and privileges, nnd whereas in the present state of pub
lic affairs, in regard to Southern rights, it is the avow
ed determination of the Northern People and party
to cxcludo the Southern People from any and nil
share in the Territories, of right belonging to the
Slavcholding as well us non-Slavoholding States, tor
tlie purpose of liemining in the Southern States with
a cordon of Free States, with the express intention
finally and ns speedily as possible of entirely abolish
ing the,institution of slavery; and whereas tho North
ern people have declared and reiterated their purpose
of abolishing slavery in tho Southern States by any
means whatsoever; and whereas they are pursuing
those purposes in utter disregard of the Constitution
al compact, Wliich connects the States of tho Union,
qpculy iu the federal legislature, and in their legis-
latures, nnd by all the appliances of power, wealth,
influence and the Press, ns Well as by devious and vilo
artifices, Riid whereas the South with suicidal magna
nimity hns ceded to the North the grentest portion of
the Territory which sho now possesses, und has for o
long series of years compromised to her own injury,
every difficulty growing out of the attacks of the
North on her domestic institutions; and whereas
these proceedings on the part of the Northern Peo-
IVii aro outrages and encroachments, eventually in -
volving consequences at which human nature shud
ders, wliich now demand a ction ; it behooves us uni
tedly and firmly to organize in self defence and for
self preservation; and whereas unanimity, harmony,
nnd concert, nre indispensably necessary to success
ful effort and to give respectability and force to ac
tion—Therefore,
Resolved, That wo who are .here present, whoso

Resolved, That the purpose of this organization
is the formation of a Southern Rights Party, the dis
semination of facts, and knowledge on the points at
issue between the North and South, the public read
ing ot such valuable papers, and documents bearing
on those points ns nro not published in the different
papers taken by the members of the Club, and speak
ing, discussing, and consulting as occasion may re
quire.
Resolved, That we hold ourselves ready nt all times
1.1 furnish to the people of any portion of the Coun
ty such papers or pamphlets on these subjects as we
may have or enn procure ; nnd if requested one or
moroof the members will atony timo address a public
meeting iu any part of the County on those important
subjects.
Resolved, That wo earnestly request flic formation
ot a Central Club, based upon theso vitnl principles,
and with these truly Southern objects, in Mncon, or
somo central point in the State, under whose lead
and direction we will cheerfully plnce ourselves ;
mid that we respectfully request and recommend the
organization of similar Clubs in ench County, aud
as fur ns practicable, in the several election precincts
in each County in tho State, with whom wo hold
ourselves ready to correspond and unite in eft'ort.
Resolved, That we respectfully suggest to the peo
ple ot tho other Slavcholding States, similar organi
zations and concert on these all important matters.

Painful Occurrence.—The wife of Gen. AvazTa-
nn, the Italian patriot, while sitting at the window of
her reaidonco in Broadway, N. York, on Sunday eve
ning, fell asleep, lost her balance, and was precipita
ted upon the pavement below. Tho window, which
opened on tho floor, was in tlie second story, nnd the
height of the fall was about 12 feet. She alighted on
the side of her head, and wns picked up senseless.—
Very little hopes of her recovery nre entertained.—
What makes this ovent more painful, Geu. Avnzzana
is absent from the city.
The Fugitive Slave Bill.- The Washington
Suutliern Press regards this hill ns intended to seduce
Maryland, Virginia nud Kentucky from tlie common
cause of tlie South, nnd adds that where s laves aro
disposed to escape, nnd a vast community of a Hies
aro on their borders, no law can lie effectual.
The Fugitive Slave Convention.—The New
York Tribune, in some remarks on the Douglas Con
vention, ut Cazeuovin, says:
It is reported tlint this convention wns instigated liv
Mr. Chaplin, and that lie went to Washington to pro
cure some fresh fugitives to give it eclat.

How would such on organization do in Savannah ?
The Storm in Barnwell. A letter from Silver-
ton to the Editor of tlie Augusta Republic gives un
account of the disastrous ravages of tho storm in that
section. Tlio writer says •
The wind, however, was more severe where there
was a slight opening. About plantations the sad tale
was told. Fields strewn with trees, fences broken
cotton ,and corn blown down. Where there was’
cotton open (and there was a good deal) it was nearly
entirely destroyed, from the fact that during the
blow there was more or loss rain, which completely
immersed tho cotton in mud and water, placing
much of it beyond tho reach of ever being gathered
Thus you see, from a long drought nnd then a storm,
the crop is much injured, so much so, that I fear
barely a half crop will he the result of this year’s
labor.
We have n high river. In conversation on yester
day with a swamp planter, I learn that tlie crop on
the river opposite this will be nearly eutirely lost,
l’he storm left the corn flat, and now a big freshet
will make sad lmvoc.

5,000 VOLUNTEERS TO BE RAISED!
The Austin (Texifc) South Western American of the
16tli ult., received at New Orleans, says that the Gov
ernor's message was referred to a committee of both
Houses of the Legislature, consisting of thirteen
members of the Senate and twenty-one members of
the House, who held a mooting on the evening of the
15th. The American says:
The first resolution agreed on and which was pass
ed unanimously, wns : “That Texas would maintain
the integrity of her territory ut all hazards.” Tho
committee adjourned to meet this morning, when wo
have no doubt, the proper means to effect the first re
solution, will bo adopted. f
On the 16th, bills were introduced into the Senate
by Messrs. D. C. Van Derlip, of llcxar, and J. B. Rob
ertson, of Washington, providing for the raising of
troops for Santa Fe, which wore severally rend a first
and second timo and referred to the select joint coin-
rpittee of both Houses. The American publishes tho
bill introduced by Senator Robertson. It is entitled
“An act to raise a certnin number of volunteers to
suppress insurrection in the county ot Santa Fe."
By it the Governor is authorized to cull for 5,000
volunteers, to be organized into five regiments of one
thousund men in tho aggregate each; the companies
to consist of one hundred men cttch in the aggregate,
aud to be officered according to the regulations of
the United States army. Each volunteer is requir
ed to furnish his own horse, arms and equipments,
nnd is to receive the same pay as United States
troops of a like character; and 'in addition, ou
receiving an honorable discharge, is to receive as n
bounty, for three months' service 320 acres of lnnd ;
for six months, 640 acres,and for twelve months,1280
acres. Two regiments of the volunteers to be mus
tered into service immediately, nnd the other three
to hold themselves in readiness to march at a mo
ment’s warning. The Govenor is authorized to take

The Galveston News, of the 21st, copies the mes
sage of President Fillmore and the letter of Secreta
ry Webster, and snya it has no room for comment
The Journal received tho letter too late for publica
tion. It publishes the message and says ;
We have not hnd an opportunity of exnming close
ly the President’s message, in relation to the bounda
ry of Texas. We have seen enough, however, to
know that it will meet our approval.
Several fights with the Indians have taken place,
Captuins Ford, Oaks, and Wallace have had encoun
ters with considerable bodies oflndians aud have kill
ed and wounded several of the savages. Wild Cat
has played false, nnd having crossed the Rio Grande
to the Mexican side, without permission, is on his
march towards the sources of the Brusos, at tho
head of some seven hundred wurriors.
There are rumors from the Arkansns Irontiers that
other bands, numbering one or two thousand war
riors, are hovering along the eastern settlements,
as if they intended to follow the footsteps of Wild
Cat.
Harry Love, after an absence of six months on an
exploring expedition up tho Rio Grande, lias returned
to Brownsville having ascended that river a distance
of 1400 miles from its mouth, being 1000 miles above
its present head of navigation, 'l’his perilous voy
age was performed in a small keel boat manned with
twelve mon. A report of the expedition is shortly to
be given to tho public.
-* It is stated that a storm of great violence was
experienced at Pensacola last Friday, the 23d inst.—
The waves of tho Gulf were unusually high—break-
i ig on the bar and beach, it is said, as high as forty
teet. While raging, a schooner was seen west of
Round Fort dragging her anchor towards the Bliore,
on which there wns a strong probability that sho
would break. Passed Midshipman Dyer, of tho U. 8.
schooner Flirt, the engineer of the Navy Yurd, Mr.
Hale, and four seamen, in an open boat, attempted to
go to her rescue. As they approached tho schooner,
finding their own safety in a critical condition, they
attempted to return, but without success. The boat
was finally swamped, and all bands were lost. Neith
er tlie bodies nor the wreck had beeu seen. It is said
that there were other wrecks, but as far as known no
lives lost.
Slave Cases at Harrisburg. Tho Virginians;
who attempted to arrest their slaves ot Harrisburg, by

- Tho Pnnco of Nepaul, who has been a gr ea
lion tor some timo in the English capital, has become
captivated it seems by a Lola Montes sort of a girl,
of great beauty and high spirits, who has for some
time past excited much attention nt the Court ond of
London ; first because she has boen talked of as pos
sessing nil unenviable but fashionable reputation ; nnd,
secondly, because she courts uotoriety by tlie stylo of
her equipage, and th*: dashing carelessness of her
driving. She seems determined to make a figure uud
is retkless of tho mean3. It is said that the Nepauloso
prince has taken such a fancy to her that she is to
accompany him to tho East. It is also said that her
Majesty has been much scandalized by tho appear
ance of this young lady in the Napauleso ambassa-
dor’s box at the opera, tlio said box being next tho
one occupied by her Majesty herself.
