■i dinner to take a nap, and some time
hereafter the servants outside the
louse, hearing moans, entered her room
nd found her frightfully mutilated
bout the head and shoulders by blows!
rom an axe. An old negro woman and |
oung negro girl about the house were I
nested and confessed to making the I
ssault while the unfortunate lady was

tat so much injured as the ren
er it doubtful, even if life is spared,
;hetber she will ever regain the full

aent. and there was some disposition

The bankrupt Law.
While we do not assume to commend
or disprove the proposed Bankrupt Law
until its details are announced, we pre
sent below what the Richmond Whig
says of it, at the same time if what the
\V hig calls the Locofoco party, or any
other, propose such a bill of abomina
tions, as the old Bankrupt Law, wcare
ready to denounce it as zealously as the
warmest partizan can do :
The Whig says : When the Whig
Congress of 1841 passed the Bankrupt
law for tho relief of such men as would
voluntarily resign everything they had
to tbeir creditors, we all remember
what an outcry was raised by Locofo
codom. It was fraud, a swindle, a cheat
—it was a bill of abominations, it must
he repealed, and tho whole batch of
Whigs that voted for it must be sent to
Coventry. Well, the thing wosdono.—
The Whig party was overthrown the
| law was repealed. And now, It is to he
• restored, with all its object ions, all its
I sins,all itsabomlnatioiifC It is now,how
| over, a very different thing from what
it was then. It is now a just andne
j eossary measure. There is no fraud in
it now. No swindling can be attributed
to it at tho present time. It Is a pot
| measure—a Democratic (panacea for tho
relief of all ills, natural, commercial
political. So goes the world.
Wo do not exactly understand the na
t turn of this bill ; but, as it is brought
1 forward by Mr, Toomks, we presume
ii is intended to curry out Secretary
i ebb's rami idea of liquidation, that is
to say, it is to bo compulsory in Its
chiu actor, ami force every bodv and ev
rv kink to settle up at once. The effect
' ct suck an immediate liquidation, we
have taken pains to to point out more
| than once before If carried out in tho
Lums puqwsed by Mr. Cobb, it will pro
duce universal bankruptcy. It will

-trai :: : tL'= murder of MoFall :
Mkci-.l the murderer of '
m&siillo ; J. Wood, J. Mcßov. George .
ifjgaer, Jimea J, a. Taylor,
who were ccauned for counterfeiting,
we Vs.-I.ieve. and Lee Overman, a negro
who had been arrested on Saturday
night for a burglary committed at Shei- j
byville.
The manner in which this escape was j
effected was singular. As well as we
can learn, it was about as follows
Shears obtained a key with which he
cculd unlock his cell. This key he had
to use outside, while he was inside of 1
the grated iron door. The way he did
it was ingenious. He got a poplar stick
about three feet long, and about the '
middle of it inad# a mortice, in which '
the handle of the key would fit, and t
through the mortice, and of course j<
through the ring or bulge of the key he
drove a peg, so as to keep the key from
falling out. This stick he put through
the grating, and slipped up and down
till he got the key into the hole. Then
he pulled it as far as it needed to go.
Now the puzzle was to turn the key.
This he accomplished as ingeniously as
he did the other process. He fastened a
string to the upper end of the stick,drew
it through the grating, and pulled it
down as far as the hole in the grating
would allow, aud then he passed it
through another hole lower dowm, and
again pulled, and so on till he got the
key turned round and the door unlock
ed. He then went to all the other cells,
unlocked them, and set all the prison
ers loose.
Before doing this he had planned the
way to get out of jail. He, and the pris
oners in the cell with him had managed
probably by using the timber of their
“ bunks,” to pry up tho stone covering
of the cell far enough to allow the body
of a man to pass. This is the extraor
dinary part of the whole feat, as it ,
would appear impossible to move huge '
block by any means, much less by such
contriviauccs as could be manufactured (
in a jail cell. It was moved, however,
and propped up. The|way into the gar
ret a small chimney afforded the only 1
means of exit to the jail roof. By some
means Shears forced himself far enough ]
up this chimney to be able to pick out
some of the bricks above the roof, and
finally to make a hole through which a 1
man could crawl.
The road out was now open, and it is
probable that at this time the other cells
were unlocked. While this was going ]
on the prisoners were singing, as they
frequently do, vociferously, probably to 1
drown the noise of their operations.—
When all was ready,about three o’clock
they crawled out upon the roof, and
thence let themselves down into the
yard by a rope made of their bed clothes.
The prisoners have probably conceal
ed themselves in the woods, and will
travel by night, and in “ out-of-the
way ’' roads. There were probably con
federates in waiting for them as there
were marks of carriage wheels near the
jail.
Santlwlcli Island.
Dates have been received from the <
Sandwich Islands to the 27tli of Febru
ary. A severe hurricane passed over
Lahama on the 20th February, making
a wreck of Dt. Baldwin’s church, and
| unroofing the house of the American
| Consul. The missionary ship Morning
Star hail arrived at Honolulu after a
six months' absence among the Micron
csian group of Islands. Capt. Meashem
of 11. B. M.’s steam vessel-of-war Vixen
died on the 17 th February, and was bu
red at Honolulu. The King and Queen
- had returned from their visit to the
! Windward Islands. The French Com
i missioner had made some valuable pres
. cuts to the King, when a Mutual inter
charge of compliments took place, and
- the former good feeling between them
. which had been interrupted, seemed to
be restored.

Cuba.
The New York Times is for the acqui
sition of Cuba as a Northern measure.
The following are its reasons :
The St'ites considers the acquisition
of Cuba as a matter of special irapor
tance to the Southern States. We do
not—nor are we surprised to find,
among the Southern men, that differ
ence of sentiment and of action which
the Slates deplores. The Cuban ques
tion is pre-eminently a Northern question.
The only way in which the acquisition j
of that Island could benefit the South,!
would he by adding one more slave
State to the Union and so increasing
j the political power of slavery. But C'u-!
ba, if acquired, must he a province be
j fore it isa State—and we shall have half a
dozen more free States before she enters
tlie confederacy. Besides, slavery is a
very different tiling in Cuba frem what
jitis in South Carolina. The acquisition
|of Cuba would put an effectual stop to
the African slave trade, introduce a ri-
Jval sugar-growing country to Louisiana,;
land offer the example of a slave State
| where slaves are legally entitled to
earn their own freedom. Commerce!
would be the great interest which
would profit most by the Americaniza
tion of Cuba—and the commercial sec
; tion is, therefore, the one which will
be most zealous in its support. New
York city is far more deeply interested
in the accomplishment of this purpose
than tlie Southern section of the Union.
It would add ten or fifteen millions
|yearly to our trade—offer new markets'
Ito the grain and flour of the West as j
well as to the manufacturers of New
j England—and add immensely to the
j military strength and national stability!
;of the whole country. Hundreds and
! thousands of Northern capitalists would
invest in its plantations and make it
I their winter residence—and in all essen-!
tial respects it would he commercially,
socially and politically the dependency
of New York and the North, and in
steail of becoming, as many persons
fear it would, part of a future Southern
slave empire, the bonds of commerce
; and of interest would make Cuba, if an- 1
j nexed, one of the strongest Union States
in the confederacy.
Bolton Acquitted.—We undersand
that the jury in the case of the State.
I against Isaac L. Bolton, for the murder j
of McMillan, of Kentucky, returned a
verdict of “not guilty,” at Covington
yesterday afternoon, and that Bolton
I returned to this city on the seven o’clock
train last night. We think it time that
the execution of the law should he plac
ed in other hands, when such palpable
| treachery as this is e.AHkI on in the face
|of all laws, both hummi and divine.—
Thus again is another instance of the
| taking of human life, in cold blood,
justified by a juryoftwelvemen, calling
; themselves honest. What good citizen
can feel himself protected by the laws
of his State, when the carrying them
out isdono as it has been in this instance.

relieved from State tax upon their polls. Such \ <
is not the case. All persons citizens of the }
United States, between the ages of twenty-one j
and sixty who reside here are at least subject j (
to poll tax, and all persons are required by law |
to come forward and give in. By so doing, you
will save yourselves from being returned as de- <
faulter and double-taxed, and me from the dis- i
agreeable duty of having to do it.

jjsT O x v g e nated Bitters.—
, The annexed statement of Prof. A. A. Hayes, M. j
; D., State Assayer, is ample testimony of the j
; scientific manner in which tliis medicine is com- i
1 pounded, and recommends it to professional
men :
1 An opinion having been asked for of me, in
1 consequence of the formula for preparing Oxy
genated Bitten being known to ine, I express
the following in form :
The composition of these Bitters includes those
, medicinal substances which experienced physi
cians have long resorted to for special action on
the system, when deranged by Fevers, Dys
• , pepsia, Agues and General Debility, resulting
! from exposure or climate influence.
These are rendered permanent, and remain
I active in this preparation, as a consequence of
j the scientific manner in which they are combined■
It was a well founded inference that the pre
j paration used iD smaller or larger doses, would
prove a valuable General Medicine, which ex
-1 perience has demonstrated.
I In this medicine no metallic salts can be found
j by the most delicate chemical trials.
