Wo recommend them to cultivate an inti mate acquaintance with the “Sort of the South.” — Suv. Republican. The Affair at Niagara Falls. Quito an excitement prevailed at Niagara Falls yesterday, in consequence of tiie arrest of a person employed as a waiter at the Cataract House, on a charge of murder, by Deputy Mar shal J. K. Tyler and officer lfoyington, of this city. We give the facts of the case as we received them from the officers who made the capture of the supposed criminal. A few days since Mr. Tyler received a newspaper and a letter through the post office from Saratoga, the paper being the Savannah Courier, ami contain ing notices of various rewards offered for the apprehension of the murderer of Mr. James M. Jones, on the Oth of July, 1849 ; and the letter being addressed by the brother of the murdered man to the deputy marshal of the district, and con veying information that the offender was suppo sed to he acting in the capacity of a waiter at the Cataract House at the Falls. The first notice of reward is dated July 0, 1849, and is offered by the Mayor of Savannah, the sum being S2OO, and the murderers at that time being unknown. The next is $ 12,000, of fered by Malcolm D. Jones, a relative of the deceased, for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders ; and the third of S3OO, offered by Alfred E. Jones, for the arrest of Patrick Sneed, lie being then discovered to havo been the murderer. Some weeks since, a citizen of Savannah, being at tho Falls, discovered in the person of one. of the waiters the man Patrick Sneed, and communicated the fact to Mr. A. E. Jones, whom lie subsequently met at Saratoga.— Hence Mr. Jones’ information to the deputy marshal. Upon enquiry at the Falls, Messrs. Tyler and Boyington discovered that the man Sneed was passing at the Cataract House by the name of Jos. Watson, and had been employed there about two years. His appearance left no doubt in tho minds of tho officers as to identity with Patrick Sneed, the murderer of Mr. Jones, and they therefore proceeded on Sunday to make the arrest. Having applied to the proprietors of the house for their assistance, which however they declined to give, although desirous of offering no obstruction to the law, the officers after dinner instructed a hoy to call their man from the room, on pretence of being desirous of re munerating him for his attendance upon them while iit dinner. The ruse succeeded, and Sneed or Watson came into the hall. He was immediately ad dressed by the name of “Patrick” by Officer Tyler, and told that he was arrested on a charge of murder. Mr. Boyington then clapped a handcuff’ upon one of his wrists, hut before he could fasten it on the other the fellow shouted lustily for assistance, and some seventy to a hun dred negroes came pouting out of tho door of the dining room into the hall. By this time the officers had got their prison er to tho front piazza, but ho was speedily clutched by tho waiters and dragged hack into tho dining hall, tho officers following, without relinquishing their grasp. In the hall he was torn from their hands, nearly every vestige of clothing being stripped from his person. The doors at the end of the hall were then shut and barred, a number of the waiters remaining outside and obstructing the passage of the two officers who endeavored to light their way through the crowd. At this time, a gentleman in the hotel called upon the guests to assist the officers, hut all was confusion and uproar, and none appeared anx ious to interfere; the gentleman himself was struck at by a negro, who was armed with a hatchet, hut ho warded off’ the blow and knock ed his assailant down with a chair. He then shouted for his pistols, and his wife, who was among the outside crowd, quickly brought them down. They were not, however, used. Finding their efforts to reach the door fruit less, Boyington drew a revolver, and placing it to one man’s head pulled the trigger. The cap missed fire, thus saving the man’s life, but the act occasioned a stampede, and the officers for ced in tile door. By this time the man had been got out at the back of the premises and was hurried down the steps to the ferry and placed in a boat. The ferryman, however, after getting into the middle of the stream, returned to shore in tho other boat, leaving his cargo in charge of some of his companions, iti order to ascertain with what offence the man was charged. Upon learning the truth ho signified to the officers that he would drop down the river and land their man at the steamboat landing above the suspension bridge. Tyler and Boyington quick ly started for this point, hut they were prece ded and followed by troops of negroes, some two hundred and fifty of whom arrived at the landing before them. Finding a band of Irish laborers, some three hundred in number, near the spot, the officers requested their assistance, which was willingly given, and the newly found allies set to work in earnest, strewing tho ground with negroes, knocking down all who opposed them, and pursuing the refugees with stones and yells. The blackguards showed fight for a few min utes, but soon they left the field in possession of the assailants, who seemed to the sport and to live Donnybrooke fairly over again. The officers having now a clear field, landed their prisoner, placed him in a carriage, drove some distance until they reached the Lockport rail road, when they took the cars for Buffalo. The accused was safely lodged in jail, and will be conveyed to Savannah as soon as the necessary papers can he obtained. e learn that the man arrested has no negro blood in his veins. He is by trade a cooper, is about ;> leet 7 inches high, has red hair and is slightly freckled. The description in the Sa vannah papers fils him exactly. Our officers displayed much promptness and courage, and deserve the highest praise for their conduct du ring the exciting scene. ihe hearts of two such men would not quail before a whole army of lawless desperadoes, nor would any consideration of personal safety deter them from doing their whole duty in eur rving out the law. —Buffalo Commercial, of Monday Evening. m The Cherokee Election. Sometime this month the Cherokee nation in the West holds its election for members of the National Coun cil and Sheriff. The red skin candidates have taken the stump, the townships have been canvassed, the people have been harangued and ere this they have obeyed the city of “Rally Freemen to the Polls! and exercised the invaluable right of suffrage. Among the candidates for the dignities of the nation wo observe the names of the following gen tlemen : Daugh-at-Mush, Joseph Cornsilk, Ti-til-se-na Hog, Fool Peter, Little Hair, Young Squirrel, Josiali Deer-in-Water, Wall-yon Skee, VVjiortle Berry, Spring Frog. These are the names for the vox popul to to sound through the trumpet; these are names to arouse the patriotism and the energies of partisans, and to excite an enthusiasm at the polls of the ahoriginies quite equal to any ever got up by their fellow citizens of the European races. We shall look anxiously to see wheth er Josiali Deer-in-Water, Esq., has been swamped, or Whortle Berry, Esq., plucked, or Little Hair, Esq., has been scratched; and, the only reason that we can see why the result of this interesting election lias not been made pub lic by the telegraph, are that the operators have been fantic an the magnets have gone crazy in endeavoring to transmit the names of such vic tors as Ti-ul-se-na Hog, or Wali-you-skee.
