Arrest of a'flurderer.—The* Lynchburg (Va.) Expr-.-ss states that a young man named Cocke was arrested in Richmond a few days ago who, in 1851 shot a young man named Win. B. Sanderson at Holly Springs, Mi3s. The cir cumstances of the case the Express says, are as follows: “Some time in ISSI, Cocke was engaged to he married to a young lady at Holly Springs, Miss. Sanderson being an intimate friend, he requested him to address this,young lady himself, merely to test her faith to him. Sanderson ac cordingly addressed her, was accepted and they were married. In about twenty minutes after the consummation of the ceremony, Cocke ask ed Sanderson to step out into the street with him a minute. Having gone a little distance frem the house, C. drew a pistol and shot S. dead—the ball striking just above the mouth. C. made his escape. ’’ The Express adds that Cocke will probably be retained in custody until the Governor of | Mississippi makes a requisition upon the Gover nor of Virginia.

Beards as Conducive to Health. The N. Y. Tribune, of a recent date, con tains a very sensible article on Beards, from which we propose to extract a few of its lead ing thoughts. It is a short time since N. P. Willis, in writing of English Society, said “a moustache and an adventurer are convertible terms.’’ A change, however, has come over the English in this respect, as well as over the peo ple of this country. The appearance of a large number of refugee revolutionists in London, just after the revolution of 1848, all of whom cultivated the Beard in some shape or other* contributed no little to the accomplishment of the change. The reform was first begun by the Railway employees, who, constantly exposed to the exaggerated winds of forty miles an hour were extremely liable to take cold, with out the natural covering of the face. Others in the same trade followed, and in a little time, it was conceded that a railway man might wear a beard consistently with his health and com fort. But this was only a beginning; the ice was broken. An Englishman—not an old clo’man—could be found with beard. Wonder ous innovation upon customary and conserva tive John. • The hirsute reform is attracting the attention of the Britsli press. The question, indeed, of beards in England has arisen to the dignity of a movement. There is a positive stir about it, says the Tribune. The masons have joined the railway guards in the adoption of beards ; and the papers are discussing ihe extension of the new idea. A London physician asserts that the national malady, consumption, may be war ded off by wearing beards. The Tribune adds: As for America, the beard question is rapidly becoming more national. What with the par tial habit of wearing the beard, engendered by the Mexican War, California Emigrants, and the hundreds of thousands of.Germans who stick to it has ceased to be a novelty. In this country of spare visages and throats it may be particularly commended as the best preventive against the tooth ache and bronchitis. On this head we wish to be understood as perfectly se rious. There is no question that to the majori ty of men iu this couutrj’ the beard is a great promoter of health and comfort during our in clement winters, and those who have once tried it, are not disposed to again submit to tho razor —or to undergo the pains and discomforts of de nuding their chins of the covering nature has provided. The opposition to beards in this country re minds us keenly of the stupidity of the public in all countries in accepting and adhering to fashions. Heaven’s judgment upon monarchs —The king’s evil—aftlictedj George IV. This “fourth of the fools and oppressors” of that name, had a diseased neck which did not bear showing, and so a cravat of many folds, much resembling a table cloth or sheet, was wound about it. Os course the fashion for such cho kers was set, and the United States, which, prac tice “independence” in their national lyric, and spurn it in daily life, immediately copied it with out regard to difference of climate or pursuits. Every man here, accordingly to be fully dressed was a stupid parody of a royal debauchee. So when another monarch could not for certain reasons wear short dresses, her deficiencies reg ulated the skirts of the robes of American wo men, which accordingly swept the ground. Our not wealing beards, though an older fash ion than these two just cited, found its origin in kings and their flunkeys. Louis XIII and XIV of France, at a time when beards were properly worn, could not show any, owing to their ex - treme youth at the time of their coming respec tively to the throne ; so to pay a compliment to majesty the courtiers shaved, and after them the public and finally England copied it. Os course Provincial America did the same, and the Provincial United States haveupto within a few years never offered an example of a man who had the courage to leave his beard as na ture designed it—unscraped by the razor from boyhood up. Incredible as it may seem, one of the above mentioned foliies of fashion yet remains in such force in this country that a business man, as a general rule, dare not wear a beard. Up to this moment there are hundreds of thousands of em ployers, merchants and others, who will not have about them men wearing the natural and healthful covering of the face—the beard. We have known recently an applicant in every sense competent, fail to get employment in the office of a corporation, the Board ol Directors, iu their sapient deliberations rejecting him because he wore a beard, which was essential to his health. Perhaps as we write, the majoritvof fogies, retired from business or old in its traces, are of the same opinion. The same men fifty years since shaved their heads like Bedlamites and wore horse-hair wigs be cause it was the fashion. But we say to Y oung America in counting houses and work shops, never touch your beards with a razor. Despise the dictates of fashion, and let the hair of the face grow silken and soft, only trimmed by the scissors. Your health will be improved; your teeth will be sounder; your liability to colds and bronchial and lung affections will he sensi bly diminished ; your convenience will be daily consulted; your manlv beauty,no despicable thing as it is the type of what ought to be the dower of every man—will be indefinitely increased, and the true and poetical contrast to feminine love liness be once more secured, which is impossi ble under the starved, scraped, wiry caricatures which shavelings now present. A Pretty Little State Debt. The Richmond Examiner, under the head of “Paragraphs showing that the public debt (of Virginia) is growing up like Jack’s Bean Staik,” says: The letter of the Clerk of the House of Del egates transmitting a statement of the appro priations solicited from the state at the present session, will produce many a frown upon the honest brows of the Virginia people It will be observed that all of the appropriations sought are not there enumerated ; many of the bills be ing of the character of Simon’s net, fashioned to catch many or few fishes, (not to mention the loaves,) as fortune may decree. This is more especially of the Turnpike bills, and the grand aggregate of wants, all computed, will not fall short o i fifteen millions of dollars. That sum, piled on top of the present State debt of twenty seven millions, will elevate the tax-payer, into a region of beatitude very similar to that in which Jack of the Bean-stalk, found the huge Giant, with a club large enough to crush, at one blow, as many people of Jack’s size as there are tax payers in the State of YTrginia. It then gives a paragraph to show how ap propriations are carried through the Legisla ture —a inode, we may remark, not peculiar to Virginia: lie who has closely observed the legislation of Virginia for several years, will not be at a loss for reason why extra or long sessions result it large appropriations. He will have observed, that for the first two or three months of the sit ting of anew Legislature, nothing is done; and that for the rest of the time, every species of leg islation that members choose to ask for is car ried through, as a matter of course. The ex planation is easy. Legislation has got to be system of mutual favors between members—a system swapping “my support of your bill’’ for your support of my bill.” A member cannot sustain his vote at home, in favor of millions of dollars of appropriations, unless his own “little bill” is carried along with the general batch.— Hence such a thing as a general policy for the whole State is no longer known. The legisla tion of the State has got to be nothing but a medley of partial measures, local in their scope and intent, and as conflicting and annihilating in their general effect, as the combatants in the famous Kilkenny fight where nothing was left but the tails of what were the semblance of perfect animals. The Late General Armstrong. General Robert Armstrong of the YY rashing ton Union, whose death we have heretofore announced in our columns was a native es East Tennessee ; his age was about 65 years. He removed at an early day to Nash ville, where he lived as Merchant and Postmas ter until 1845, when Mr. Polk, the President elect, gave him carte blanche, to make choice of any postofjionor or profit in the gift new Administration. As he had been his confiden counsellor while canvassing for Governor of the State, and his most efficient and influential friend in the hotly contested Presidential cam paign against Mr. Clay in 1844, this mark of gratitude was not undeserved, and the result was the selection of the Consulship at Liver pool, to which General Armstrong was ap pointed. Few men enjoyed so long and constantly, and so nearly, the confidence of General Jack son, as this gentleman. His personal influence over the old Hero was almost unbounded, and unlike the mere parsaites who followed his for tunes for the advancement they promised, it may be said, in just praise of his memory, that lie never abused it to selfish or wicked ends. - The intimacy was first of the camp, and sub sequently of the hearth stone. The respect was entirely mutual. Thepolitica! promotion to which this inevitable position at the hermitage might have raised General Armstrong, was uniformly declined. The Post office at Nashville was be stowed on him in 1829, and was accepted as the means of support to a large family. He made an efficient officer, popular with all par ties, and so generally and highly regarded by his YY’hig neighbors, that on the incoming of Gen. Harrison’s administration in 1841, they not only refused to petition for his removal, hut interposed an influence at Washington to pre vent it. General Armstrong earned his military titles, to the highest of which he was promoted in the Florida War of 1836, by active field service.— He was a volunteer Lieutenat in the campaigns of 1813-15, and was severely wounded at the battle of Talladega, against the Creek Indians while gallantly defending a field piece, of which his company had charge. In private life, he was a kind neighbor and generous friend ; and although his party affinities were warm and de cided, they were uniformly held subordinate to his social relations. We are indebted for the above to the New York Daily Times, of Friday. John Mitchell and Nebraska.—ln the Citizen of Saturday last, Mitchell defines his position on the Nebraska Territorial bill, now the sub ject of Universal discussion The following ex tract Irom his article will suffice to show his views: “For our part, we would hail its adoption as another triumph of the patriotism and good sense of Congress over the folly, fanaticism, and treason which would dismember this glori ous Union, by the vain pursuits of an empty shadow to the loss and destruction of the sub stance. “It is a grand mistake, an abuse of language to call the Missouri Compromise a compact be tween the North and South; If it was in the nature of a compact, it is rendered null and void by a later one, the Compromise of 1850. If it is contended that the first alone is valid, then wo reply that there is one older still and far more binding—the compact of the Consti tution. But there can be no compact made by Congress in its legislation for all the States in common. It cannot pass a law to bind its suc cessors and poster ity for all future time; and least of all, can a geographical line prevail over a great principle and say, “Thus far shalt thou come and no farther. The principle now at stake is, that the people in every State and Ter tory have a right to make their own laws, and no Congress has the power to prevent them.” Matrimonial about Mr. Fillmore Contradic ted.—A Buffalo correspondent of the New York Express says that there is no truth in the re port that any “engagement” exists between Ex President Fillmore and Miss Porter, of Niagara, as stated from Washington by the Washington gossippers. The Ex-President is leading a very quiet, retired life—and if he U thinking any thing of matrimony, nobody knows any thing about it. Yciting America. There is something in this cognomen which when seen or pronounced, carries with it a sen sation of pleasure—not that Senator Douglass i3 believed to be the man of all others more en titled to it, but for some kind of feeling which we cannot explain. Is it not that we 1 ave all read of some others who have gone before the modem Y'oung America, whose history has left an impression on the minds and the hearts of the present generation which sends out a re sponse as soon as this sonbriquet is sounded in their ears: Senator Douglass began too late.— He is over forty ! But here are the true origin al Young Americas. At the age ol 29, Mr. Jefferson was an influ ential member of the Legislature of Virginia At 30 he was a member of the Virginia Conven tion ; at 32 a member of the Continental Con gress ; and at 33 he wrote the declaration of In dependence. Alexander Hamilton was only 20 years of age when he was appointed a Lieutenant Col. in the army of the Revolution, and Aid-de-Camp to YVashington. At 25 he was a member of the Continental Congress ; at 30 he was one of the ablest members of the Convention which fra med the Constitution of the United States; at 32 he was Secretary of the Treasury and or ganized that branch of the government upon so complete and comprehensive a plan that no great change or improvement has since been made upon it [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. John Jay, at 29 3’ears old, was a member of Congress, and wrote an address to tho people of Great Britain, which was just ly regarded as one of the most eloquent produc tions of the times. At 32 he prepared the Con stitution of the State of New York, and in the same year was appointed Chief Justice of tho State. W ashington was 27 years of age when he covered the retreat of the British troops at Bra dock’s defeat; and the same year was honored by an appointment as Commander in Chief of the Virginia forces. Joseph Warren was 29years of age when he delivered the memorable address on the sth of March, which roused the spirit of patriotism and liberty in this section cf the country ; and at 34 he glorious'y fell in the cause of freedom on Bunker Hill. Fisher Ames, at the age of 27, had excited public attention by ,the ability displayed in the discussion of questions of public interest. At the age of 30, his masterly speeches in defence of the Constitution of the United States had exerted great influence, so that the youthful ora tor of 31 was elected to Congress from the Suffolk District over the Revolutionary hero, Samuel Adams. Joseph Story entered public life at the age of 26. He was elected to Congress from the Es sex District when he was 29, was Speaker of Massachusetts House of Representatives at 32, and the same year was appointed bv President Madison, a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. DeW’itt Clinton entered public life at 28 ; Henry Clay at 26. The most youthful signer ol tho Declaration of Independence, was W'm. Hooper of North Carolina, whose age was but 24. Os the other signers, ’1 homas Haywood, of South Carolina, was 30 ; Elbridge Gerry, Benjamin Rush, James Wilson, and Matthew Thornton, were 33. Arthur Middleton and Tho mas Stone were 31. The Nebraska Bill iu the Senate. SPEECH OF MR. TOOMBS. Mr. Toombs said he approached the consid eration of this bill with a heart full of gratitude to a wise Providence, that after a protracted contest of years this question was about to have a solution, net by any temporary expedients but upon the broad principles of constituti mul justice and right, which was tho only ground upon which it could be satisfactorily and per manently settled In entering upon tho discus sion he desired to resemble the Athenian orator, who, before speaking, always “prayed the gods that he might utter no word inconsistent with justice and truth.” There was a marked differ ence between the argument made by the oppo nents of this bill and those by its friends. The friends of the bill had uttered no word which might not he accepted by the people as the truth, while the free soilers who lived, moved and had their being in excitement and agitation, had sent forth much that should never have been addressed to the people. These latter had re vived the old speeches in opposition to the com promise of 1850, and delivered them again against the bill. They are battling now against the same great truth asserted and established bv the legislation of 1850. The Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) in his speech, not only traduced the people of the South, Gut also his countrymen ol his own section, by’ styling all those who did not hgree with him in his free soil and abolition sentiments white slaves. If true, was it an argument to address the South to change her policy of African slavery, that there might be white slavery ? Was it an argu ment to the Soul!) that white men should be degraded in order that there might be elevation to the blacks? It was a libel on the North to style all who were not free soilers white slaves. He had seen lately in New York proof that it was a libel. There were men there who declined all political association with free soilers and aboli tionists, and who even refused office as the proof of that association. These men in New York city who did this did not stand alone. One hun dred thousand freemen in that State had sustain ed the act. W’ere these men slaves? We could not boast like Ireland that our land produced no reptile ; but while admitting that we had reptiles amongst us, we could boast that we bed an intelligence of freedom, and a constitution which was superior to their venom. The ques tion now before the Senate was the same old one of the right, power and expediency of Con gress interfering in the regulation of tho domes tic concerns of the people of the Territories.— Much has been said of compacts, and honor, and faith and inviolabity of sacred obligations. Who spoke of these things ? The men whom no oaths could bind, no obligations of duty or oflaw could swerve from the execution of their fell purpose. The Senator from New York spoke upon public faith, and sacred honor, and solemn compact ; and he, when Governor of New York, and sworn to execute the constitution of the United States, refused to execute it on the ground that a slave was the subject of a felo nious exportation of property. Some of these Senators knew something of compacts to defeat the will of the people. By 6ome of these foul compacts—coalitions they were called in Mas sachusetts—the people were defrauded of being properly represented, that some of these men might lie sent to the Senate. Men who owed their elevation to such fraudulent compacts as these, now talked of plighted faith, honor, and the invi- lability of contracts—who, while open ly declaring they will not carry out a compri mise, talk to others about observing them.— Wiiat did this conduct mean? It disclosed that they were insensible to shame. He would consider the provisions of this bill under four aspects. First, that it was wise, just, constitutional, and ought to be adopted. Sec ondly, that it had received the acquiescent ap proval of nineteen twentieths of the public sen timent of the United States. Thirdly, he w ould reply to tho objections to the hill; and fourthly, he would disprove that this bill was a departuie from the ancient policy of the republic, and dis prove that that ancient policy was prohibition of slavery. There was no objection to the con stitutionality of allowing the people of the Ter ritories to settle this question as they thought proper. Those who advocated the prohibition cf slavery by Cong'ess, as well those North as South, who deny the power in Congress to do so, all admitted it was constitutional to leave the question with the people of the Territories to decide for themselves He did not believe that sovereignty over territories w'as in the Congress or the General Government. The Supreme Court had said something about sovereignty in Congress, but he did not pla.e much confidence there. That court was undoubtedly the safe de pository of private right, but be knew of no usurpation of political power by the General Government but what the Supreme Court had found some authority for it. He believed all sovereignty over Territories was in the people of Territories. Congress had no power giveu it. The sovereign power was in the States Number 10.
