Truth id indeed stranger than fiction The Palmetto State, and Flor ida (setlled chiefly by South Caraliniam.) who in years gone l»y were always chafing un- (ler theeonseiouaarre of haring to more in the orbit of the Cnion, and who four years wobld hare preferred annihilation, to a re turn within the coih of the Federal compact of Statea, are now the first to wheel into line, and “accept the situation.” But, extremes meet in polities as elsewhere. ■>' However, Carolina in order to vindicate her character for consistency (said Wbe a jewel,) uwntfnitmi womeeoynema^ first. When Gov ernor I'cnnr urged the Legislature to inter polate in t(io State Constitution, the Federal cuusCitution&l amendment, they pointed to the section reading aa follows: “Congress shall hare power to enforce this article (aboli tion of alavcry,) by appropriate legislation,*’ and meekly expressed ‘-the apprehension tlmt Congress might under this second section cl.iim the right to legislate fortlie negro after ‘ ivery waa aboliahed." A favorite maxim of the wily TiiAitTnAun waa, that “oral language is given us to con ceal our thoughts." As a postulate to this ingenious proposition, we may conclude, that a printed political text may hare two diame trically opposite meanings, when submitted to the apprehensions of two antagonistic in tellect*. For, on Governor Perry communi cating to the president the fears of the legis lature, should they adopt this clanse, Mr. Seward replies that it “is really restraining in its effects, instead of enlarging the power of congress.’’ §o that what appears to the Carolina representatives as an atigury of evil, is interpreted by Bfr. Seward as a positive guarantee of security. The governor at all events is convinced, for lie takes occasion to say to the legislators, “I nm happy to find that the secretary of 8tat4 ,v, tlocs not regard those objections well founded, but considers them qnerulous and unreasonable.” We trust the example set by South’ Caroli na and Florida will without delay be followed by the other States. Manifesting even passive spirit of opposition, or hesitation to tlmt which is.unavoidable, is puerile and un worthy of our people. TVe shall, under the cir- ,cnmstances,licst consult our self respect nnd interests by conforming to tlic wishes of Air. Joiixsox. A graceful yielding, or rather co operation iu the drastic measures exacted, will appear so much in oar famr nnd upon tliS credit side of the political ledger.

From the Boston Post, of tlic 2<nb. we take particulars of the brutal murder in that city, the facts cf which were mentioned by tele graph a day or two ago: One of the most brutal murders that has taken place in this city for many years, occurcd on Sunday morning, tho particulars of which, as near as can he ascertained, arc as follows:— About 5 1-2 o’clock yesterday morning, as officers Goodwin, F. F. Ham and E. Crocker were passing down Hanover'street, their at tention-Was attracted to a sailor boarding house, numbered 300 of that street, kept by Simon Jackson, by groans, as if procccdi: ‘ from some person in great distress. Tho o; cera immediately entered the house and found the proprietor, Mr. Jackson, lying on the floor in a front room, apparently in a dying condition, caused by a blow from an axe or hatchet, which had penetrated the skull aliout two inches above the left ear, from which the man’s brain was protruding, and £ resented a horrible appearance. Drj Mag- ill was immediately called, and upon ar riving did not consider any surgical opera tion of avail, or accout of the nature of the wound, Mr. Jackson was found to be in sensible, but life was not extinct. . Mr. Jackson received the fatal blow in his own sleeping room, and probably was lyin_ on his right side, ns the location of the gash Would indicate. The fact of Iris being found in the .front, part of the house strongly indi cates that, after the occurrence, he summoned all his energies to give an alarm, and man aged to crawl through the .entry into the front room. As an evidence of this, portions A- G. Magrath, cx-govcmor of South Caro lina, the provost marshal of Savannah (Capt. Retnick) received instructions on Saturday last from headquarters to proceed forthwith in the steamboat -itarhulit tu Fort l’ulaski, where''both prisoners were detained, and set them at liberty. At about two o’clock in the afternoon Captain Remick, together with a few officers, arrived at Fort Pulaski, and at once proceeded to the cells of the prisoners. Having announced to them their release on condition of their taking the am nesty oath, the news was received by both ] irisoners with joy, and the oath freely taken. iVithout any further delay, the prisoners got ready what baggage they had and came at board the “Starlight.” - Got; MagraA in excellent health and spirits. He [conversed freely on general topics during the trip to Savannah, and seemed heartily to en- fjoy the fine weather. Mr. Scddons, though not 1<\-- cheerful, seemed to have held out with less force against the inroads which a long confinement mnst necessarily makeup- on the constitution of even the strongest man. He was pale, haggard and careworn, which gave a very gloomy and sad expression to his regularly formed features. Tlic first moments of excitement, in consequence of their hasty release, having passed away, towards the end of the trip, which was tedious in consequence of the head tide and a defect in tho machinery of the boat, both prisoners become silent and pensive, and further efforts to draw them back to lively conversation proved unavail- wy. certificates have been issued, and in tlic same period the redemption only rent-lied $1,184,- 000.

The cause which led to this murderous act is supposed to have originated in some trouble which Mr. Jackson had on Saturday night with a boarder in relation to some money matters. At a late hour the difficulty was not amicably settled, and with murderous re venge in his heart, the demon silently stole into the chamber of 3Ir. Jackson, and there deliberately buried an axe or hatchet in the head of his victim, who was unconsciously sleeping his last sleep. That the murder was not committed for money is quite probable, as Mr. Jackson had in his room between five and six thousand.dollars in money, mostly in U. S. bonds.

Joxx Bell axd Horace Maynard, —The Chattanooga Gazette tolls the fol lowing : ' A day or two since Mr. Bell visited tlie Capitol. He was warmly welcomed by his old friends, both radical and conservative, All were pleased to meet him. In the door of the senate the feeble patri arch (for he is fast declining) met Maynard, as all others of Hke politics had met him, cordially. Col, Bell had a right to suppose that the wanderer from the Narrngansctt tribe would do likewise, and hence extended bis hand to him. How was he received? With the frigidity characteristic of the Abo rigines; Jlaynard peered insolently in his face and inquired; “Mr. Bell, I suppose ?” Ob, we wish tlie State could have seen Mr. Bell recallt he heroic spirit of his youth, and heard him exclaim scornfully, “No sir it is not Mr. Bell.” W'e thank thee, John Bell, for rebuk ing this man. .. v»i>-8ld»AT It is well for Horace that Mr. Bell bad joined tlie clinch the day before.
