Alford, of Sampson County, in Ibat State, who was
killed on the night of the 0th iu.tant, while on his
way borne from hunting one of his horses, about !)
o'clock at nigiit. it appears, from the munr.er in
which the hushes had been cutout, thnt the assassin
had prepared a place ou tho road-side, from which
he shot him in the back, sending a number of large
buckshot through his right arm and into liis body.—
He kept his scat in his saddle for some fifty or sixty
yards, when he fell, and i-ls foot fastening in the stir
rup, he was dargged some ten or fifteen yards. Tho
horse ran home, his saddle covered with blood, and
the murder was soon after discovered by his afflicted
family. Mr. Alford was a worthy man, a useful citi
zen and a consistent member ol‘ the Methodist Church.

Opinion of <t Northern paper.—-The editor of the

cause Congress has done the South justice in the set
tlement of the Texas and Territorial questions: Lis

of the South! ,

Did the following comments upon the above par
agrsph, by the editor of the New York Express, es
cape our eotemporary’e notice? While he is giving
the opinions of the Northern papers on this subject,
wc think it is hut due to his renders thnt he should
give the views of the sane ns well as those of the in
sane. The editor of the Albany Journal is a rabid,
free soil fanatic, whose implacable hostility to nur in
stitutions and utter contempt for the remonstrances
and thrents of the South, will not permit him to be
content with anything short of an immediate and un-
condition-1 surrender of every right claim--d by our
people; while ti-o editor of the Express heliums to the

Opinions of a Northern Taper. — “Freedom’s
Haulier” not being trailed in the dust hy se
curing for that a banner California with an extent
of teritorry on the Fauitic that sttrcchcs tlio dis
tance of Cape Cod frt m Charleston, S. C., tiny, by
the exclusion of slavery from the whole borders of the
Pacific Ocean, we must look ior the triumphs of sia
very wo eupoae first in New Mexico and second ill
Utah.
New Mexico if we may judge from Iho expression
of tliePeople of New Mexico, who inserted a Wilmot
Proviso in their State Constitution is, ns safe ns Cali
fornin was with a like Proviso in that Constitution.
To extend slavery there as all Northern men contend
and as Courts in the Sl"Ve States have often derided, it
first becomes necessary to repeal the local Mexican
anti-slavery law. As that however, is not repealed
and is not likely to be,—“Freedom’s Iinnncr,” we np-
preheud does not trail much in New Mexico. The
Kditor of the Journal only indulges in figures of
speech a;id flourishes with his rhetoric.
“Freedom's Banner" then, must be in great peril
among the Mormons of Utah. The Mormons must
tie going to introduce slavery. But they will meet
with n difficulty at tho onset, and that is, they have got
to repeal the anti slavery Mexican law, which forbids
the creation of slavery in our Mexican acquisitions, un
til it is created by law. In the Utah Territorial act is an
article t'nrbiddhug any legislation at all upon the sub
ject of slavery. But then, if the Mormons were nei-
or so much disposed to huve slaves, there would be
no profit in holding them.—Their climate, ill the
main, corresponds with that ol' New England, ami
Northern New York, and nobody there would be
hired to support even a family of slaves, old men,
women, and children, for the work the able bodied
among them would do. In addition to all sueh con
siderations as these, however, the religious creed of
the Mormons is ns adverse to slavery as that of the
Clunkers. No Mormon cun hold a slave, and yet be a
Mormon. Besides there is no disposition to have
New Species of Cotton.
Col. Greene, whose highly cultivated plantation
is on the Iil&nd opposite this city,, has leit. on nuf
Round Table, ’where they can be seen tiy the public,
three branches taken from Cotron stalks now grow
ing on his ground. Tho Seed from whieli the Cot
ton was grown wero sent, about two years since, to
the lute Capt. SwiNNEV, of this city, by whom they
were given to Col. Greene, with a view to ascertain,
by planting them, tho qualities of tho species; but
Col. G. did not learn the name of the Cotton, net- lrom
whence the seed came. This is tho second growth
from the seed,,-the firs'--planting having given him
only a few stalks, from which he saved the seed
which he planted this year. The stulks now stand
ing, measure about five feet in height. The limbs are
from 12 to 14 inches in length, and are covered with
bolls, some of which have opened, yielding a short
staple Cotton of remarkable fin- m-ss. The greatest
peculiarity of the plant is the large number of bolls
which it bears—as nluny as 130 having been counted
on a single stalk, and 10 bolls on a limb only that
number of inches in length. The bull opens treely.
and tho Cotton adheres well to tile boll, which ren
ders it less liable to be beaten out by the weather
than ordin l-y Cotton, The limbs, from which the
stem of the bull shoots, not at the joints or forks, us
in other Cotton, being short, the plant can be more
closely cultivated tliuu any other, Col. Gbeene
thinks ihat four plants could.be accommodated on
the space ordiuurily occupied by two. The pluut bus
theappearunce of Doing very hardy,and certainly is—
jud-ting fioin the flourishing condition of those on
Col. Gbekne’s plantation—well adapted to our soil
But few of tho bolls on the limbs in our possession
are matured, and us we did not learn the time of
planting, we are unable to speak of the time required
to bring the species to maturity. Col. Gbeene.
whose judgment in sueh matters is better informed
Man our own, thinks very favorably of me species,
both in regard to its quality and productiveness.—
Perhaps some of our planting triemis have received
some of the same seed, and will be able to give tho
public further information in regard to it.
The Rumored Cuua Expedition.—From all
parts of tile country we hnve rumors that another
Cuba expedition i-. on loot, and our own citizens for
some days past have been excited by the various re
ports. The fact that there is considerable activity at
the various navy yards is adduced ns a proof that
government lias some knowledge of n new move
ment on the part of Gen. Lopez and his followars.
A correspondent of the Ijew York Herald has the
following, which trenches on the marvellous:
“We learn that nt least half a dozen ships are or
dered to get reudy to sail to Cuba, and that six thou-
ssnd men are enrolled for the new invasion ; buty
what is more important, wo understand thnt Mr-
Webster is luvoiably inclined to enter into liegotia.

Some wag of a typo in our city, on Friday night
last, took advantage of the excitement, and deter
mined to have a joke at the expense of the public.
Ho had a gulley of pi set up, to which he affixed a
startling heading, announcing “Another Landing o'
Troops at Matanzas!" “Great Excitement at Havanal”
‘Tremendous Battle!” &c. &c. A few prefatory lines
informed the render that in consequence of the nb-
si-nce ot the translator th“ Captain General's procla
mation and the details of the affair were published
as received I Tile knowing ones merely rend the
head, pocketed the slips, and then disappeared. The
news, however, spread like wild-fire, and a great rush
was made to the oflice of the Morning News, by those
who supposed that, as a mnttcr of course, we were
fully posted in the news. We saw an old gentleman,
with specks, at 10 u'clock nt night, looking over the
slip, and apparently much interested with its con.
tents 1 We have not ascevtained whether he suc

Excitement among the Colored Population—Effect of
the Fugitive Slave Bill, tyc.— i'll ere is some excite
ment here utnoug the colored people, owing to the
passage by Congress of the fugitive slave bill, and
tlie power it gives to the slave owner to enter the free
States and take possession of his runaway property
wherever he finds it. Many of them are preparing
to leave for Canada in order to escape from those that
they expect will soon be in pursuit of them. On
Saturday, a large number of them left the city, and
some ot the first hotels are left very bare of servants

Tho Chattanooga Gazette.
We had the pleasure of a call on SuturdHy, from
Mr. Parham, Editor and Proprietor of he Chatta-
noogu Gazette. Mr. P„ is tho pint meet- of tho press
in Lower East Tennessee, having located himself in
Chattanooga some fourteen years ago, when the
piacewas scarcely to bo called a town, and when it
was not known out of sight of the smoke of tlie few
cabins that occupied its site. The Gazette, growing
with the place, bn* become a large and prosperous
paper, aud now affords an excellent medium for the
auvcrtiseinents of our morclmuts who desire to in
vite the trade of that rapidly improving section of
our sister State. A business intercousse between
' Chattanooga ,.nd Savannah has been growing up
since the comply tion of our State Rond to that point,
and it ouly needs a little fostering hy our business
meu to render it a source of great commercial ad
vantage to beth places. The natural tendency of the
trade of the adjoining districts of Tennessee is to
Savannah, and there is no surer way to secure it than
for our merchants to inform the people, tbrouzh tlie
medium of the press, thnt they are prepared, as we
know they are, tu supply their wants on ns reasonable
terms as they can have them supplied else where. A
liberal eytein of advertising, under such circum
stances, may always be charged to profit— never to
loss.
THE Spirit of Compromise in Congress.—
The great Compromise is hut a few weeks old, and
we have the following as itsfiruita. The proposition
to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia having
been madeinthe Senate a few dayssinco,received first
four, and atterwards nine votes 1 The snme prop
osition in the House, on Thuesday received F1F i Y-
(two votes, and sevytty tacit votes or dodges. The
majority of the Northern men voting, voted for the
measure. Setting down the Northern dodgers at fifty,
wo have this hopeful assurance—that there ate in
the present Congress at least one hundred members
from the free States, who will either rote for or will
not vote agninst tbo proposed mea«urc. These are
indications which should not be overlooked by our
compromise friends in their rejoicings over the glo
rious settlements, by which peace bus been obtain
ed and “the country caved.”
rightitis hard to deny, or the equality of enjoyment.
But the South being unlucky in tho settlement of
the«e acquisitions, an si-ti-tlnvery people having
nre-occupii il California, New Mexico nnd Utah, de
manded a partition of these Territories, and a dedica
tion of nil of them South of 36 30 to Southern i mi-
irration, that is, to slavery. Has the South got that
demand! Is the ultimatum of the Nashville Conven
tion the actof Congrsss? Oh no!—hut how then is
“Freedom’s Banner trailed in tho dust,” und how then
has "slavery obtained a victory."
“Freedom's Banner" thus being triumphant in all
alilo'-nin, anil in New Mexico and Utah, Texas
musf have got some 25.000 square miles “to curse
with slavery,' thnt did uot belongto her. and the Ten
Millions Texas Bonds must have educed the Northern
members into this base surrender of Freedom to

under old Mexico, nothin" was lost to - Freedom.'’
New Mexico. East of tho Rio Grande, as hounded
by Pearce’s Boundary Bill, tlie act that passed, i i foil
one degree of lougitnde longer than was the real
New Mexico; and all that part of the New Mexico,
North of 36 30, and East ot the 104t degree ot Ion-
gitude, if. is never pretended belonged to New Mexi
co when under old Mexico. Congress secured to
New Mexico thousands of square miles beyond that
New Mexico, of which Santa Fc was the capital. The
fact that Mr Clay’s Omnibus Bill secured to "Free
dom,” 25,000 square miles more than Mr. Pearce’s
Boundary Bill does, is unquestioned—but let them,
who killed the Omnibus settle -hat ivi h their con
stituents. Congress, in Pearce's Boundary Bill, not
only extinguished the too often recognized claim.
which Texas had to nil Territory East of tile R'o
Grande, but extinguished the unquestioned Texas li’le
to all North of 36 30 aud to the Territory between N w
Mexico on the East and the 1 t'OfAt d-erce of longitude.
It is nthr falsehood to say Congress surrendered to
Texas 25.000 square mils of Free Territory. The
North lost over 25 000-quare miles of T.-xn- Territo
ry. by tho overthrow of Mr. Clay's Omnibus—und
that is solemn truth.
Now if nur worthy cotempornry can controvert
these “opinions of a Northern paper,” or if he can
show us that there is anything in this view of tlie
case thnt approaches to anything like a fair adjust
ment of the matters involved in the slavery ques-
tion, nnd whieli should'cause the Southern people to
congratulate themselves upon the consummation of the
coiiinrumise scheme, then we will agree to cense all
opposition to measures which wc have not the com
prehension to understand, nnd never murmur more.
We have never de-ired to obtain any advantage over
the North, We have felt that wo had a right to de.
maud justice in the settlement of this question, but
have always been willing to compromise much of
even right and justice fqr the sake ef peace.
The Seminol Delegation and the Florida
Indians.—The Fort Smith Herald, of the lst inst..
informs us that the.detachment of Seminoh-s, from
Florida, under the charge of Maj. Garnett, U. S. A,
arrived in that town ou their way to their home in
the West. Among the detachment are the members
of tlie delegation thnt went from that country a few
months ago, to Florida, to try to induce their Sem
inole brethren in that region to remove West. They
inform the Edit >r of the Herald that they have uot
been very successful, and that the Florida Indians
would not freely meet and hold council with them.
At ono of their interviews a Seminole Negro Chief
attempted to persuade Bowlegs to emigrate, which
highly incensed him, and Bowlegs replied that he
would hold no talk and transact no business with any
delegation who wero compelled to hnve a Negro Chiel
as titeir spnheenrn. The Seminole delegation are ol
tlie opinion that the Florida Indians cannot be re
moved hy force—that their hannn icks are iuuccessa-
ble, uml that they could continue a war on the whites
for twenty years.

Mysterious Affair. An excitement was created
in New York on Wednesday Jnet, by a report thut 130
out of a 150 children at the Infant Asylum at Moni*
s an in' had suddenly disappeared. This was found
io be a grossly exaggerated statement, but it was
found thnt a number of bodies were interred in the
grounds of the Asylum, of which no satisfactory ac
count could be given. A coroner’s inquest was hold,
bur nothing materia) wus elicited. The matter is to j
go before the Grand Jury. Some of the particulars
in regard to the condition of the bodies found are
sufficiently disgusting. A Quakeress named Mary
HhntweH. is the principal ot the Asylum, and she is
•till an object of suspicion.
