Murder. —The Augusta Dispatch of
the 16th, says we learn from private sour
ces that a brutal murder was perpetrated
on the 9t!i inst., at Chester South Carolina,
upon llobt, Morrison, a highly esteemed
and respectable citizen of that place by
Vfm. Hodges and Joseph Howerton, who
succeeded, in making their escape. No
particulars given. The culprits are thus
described :
Hodges, the main culprit, is ; bout five
feet, seven or nine inches in height, dark
complexion, light make and a carpenter or
cabinet maker by trade. Also, lie is said to
be a rioted gambler,
Howerton, his accomplice in the affair
is also a light made man, of the same
height as Hodges, light liair and of a fairer
complexiug. lit is a coach-painter by
trade. They are supposed to be lurking
about tlie upper portion of this State, or in
North Carolina.

‘l'liß (Bible.
The Bihle is a precious and rear gift from
God to man. It is filled with treasures im
perishable and uricqualod. For let eastern
caverns spangle with diamonds and give
birth to gems of every hue, still the search
er after truth will find, in this Divine arca
num—the field of. onv scriptures,’the pearl
of great price, the white and perfect stone
of absolution—a luster when all the bril
liants of the mines shall be extinguished
and lost.
There is no standard work, whether an
cient or modern, so well adapted to all
men’s moral and intilectual wants a3 the
j Bible. It is the only universal classic;
whether we view it for its beauty, sublimi
ty, and grandeur; its simplicity, and its
1 purity; its relations with time and its con-
I section with eternity ; which is so equally
j important and interesting to the whole hu
man family.
Was Aristotle —was Plato—was Socrates
j ainNSeaeca intilectual and classical in their
| writings, is there wisdom, profundity, pers-
I picuity as well as purity ? Bat if in these,
• how much superior in every respect is the
Bible. If these great minds labored and
partly succeeded in dimly painting the
: beautiful pictures of nature so as to make
;an impression on the human mind—a slight
resemblance of the truth of God’s works:
. how far above all these does the Bible as
| cend! The writers of this holy hook
were inspired ; they were enabled to look
far into the future, as was proven by their
;p’ ophisics—they were the Penmen —the
i very limners of the God of nature.—
I Truth with all its universality and purity
j can be found —not in the writings of the
Plantonie the Augustan or Elizabethan
schools, but in the writings only of those
i good and great men whose tongues were
’ touched with fire, whose minds were enlight
! fned by a sparkling ray of wisdom direct
! from the source of all light, the throne of
1 God.
Since the Bible is such a good book—so
pure, so beautiful, so holy, and an cmena
j lion so recently from the hands of God,
why is it not introduced into every family
and school room, studied in childhood and
made the rule and guide of every ones ac

New Counties. —We see that four new

i from Lowndes and Thomas.

I ■
! extract:
I Happily, matters of this decriptiori are
I now beyond ‘the possibility of permanent
ispute, since the laws that regulate them
are well defined, The United States show
: ed In the analogous case that occured with
j Pen: about five years back, that they were
! prepared to deal with such casesnccording
Wo exact and liberal interpretation, and
there is reason to anticipate that, if the
Haytien proofs are as irrefragable as they

Will be no resolution to set them at defiance

: Now, here : s the most sensible para
’ graph on the subject of matrimony we
have seen in a long time. It is a plain,
practical common-sense view of a highly
important question, and such we common 1

Have A Home. — Young men have
lately written to iff, fsking : ‘Shall we
marry, possessing only small means :
If the means are adequate to meet the
wants of the man and the future wife, why
j not ? But they should be sufficient for
j this, elso the most painful consequences
! may ensue. Moderate means are ample
1 for tlie real nceeessaries of life, too, which
‘ought to satisfy human beings, so far as
externals are concerned : insuring social
; and domestic enjoyment meeting the real
j purpose of existence —their own advance

home, young man, before you have a
wife.
At last have means to provide one.. You
have no business with an Eve till there.is
a paradise to place her in. Secure, the
j garden, arid the Eve will follow. If you
| are unaolc to provide an Eden, wlm ..ought
jto trust you with an Eve ! Sacred as we
! regard love, we do not believe in divorcing
it from common-sense. This experiment
is generally fatal to both happiness and
respectability.—Wake from mere dream
life; exert 3' our energies ; procure means
by some kind of honest labor ; secure a
heme; then ask your own heart and the

Excitement in Key West*
The Key West Key of the Gus of the
27th November, gives an account of what
came near being a serious affair between j
the’ citizens of 1 hat place and the United ‘■
: States soldiers stationed on the island. On
| the 24tli a soldier by the name of Wilson
I was detected in the act of breaking into the
residence of a citizen, for which he was nres
ted and carried before the Mayor, who fined
him twenty-five dollars, in default of which
he was remanded to the guard house. In
: the evening some citizens, thinking the pun
ishment insufficient, repaired to the guard
house, took the prisoner out and adminis
tered to him a very severe flogging, after
which the)* returned him to the guard
house, from which he was subsequently re
leased l))’ another party of citizens. Re
turning to the United States Barracks, the
soldier told liis story to his comrades, who
; became greately excited, and swore ven
’ geance against the town and its inhabitants.
1 The Mayor hearing of their threats of voi- j
leucc, promptly communicated with Lieu
tenant Webster, in command, who exerted
himself to prevent the soldiers from carry
! ing out their purpose. At night some forty
| of the s'ddiors, seizing their arms, stole out
of the barracks by the hack way and
marched for town.
A detachment under an orderly sergeant
was sent after them to bring them hack, but
lin coming up with the hostile party the
detachment, with the exception of the ser
! geant and two ot the men, joined them. —
1 The armed soilders then marched into the
town with fixed bayonets, took posession of j
! the Exchange, bilinrd saloon, and demanded ]
| the proprietor, declaring their detennina- j
tiou 10 cowhide him. The- bells were rung ,
j and the citizens assembled without arms, j
! hut determined to resist the troops, and for
a time the danger of a collision was immi- [
; nent. By the effort of Orderly Sergeant j
: Kearney, who, alter the desertion of his j
: detachment, had followed the soldiers to j
prevent difficulties, if possible, they wore I
! finally induced to retire to their quarters, j
The City Council was convened and
strong resolutions passed, exprssinga deter
mination to bring the violators of the law,
the citizens who whipped the. soldier, to in-!
justice. The resolutions were aftenv ards j
endorsed by a meeting of the citizens. Great i
excitement prevailed, but it was expected :
that no further violence would grow out of j
; the affair. The nutherites and citizens give. 1
■ credit to Lieut. Wed her for his very prop- 1
, I et department throughout the affair.

1 Re-Opening of the African .slave 1
• , Traisk. —Two hundred and seventy-seven
■of the ‘ cargo ot Africans recently landed
nettr Brunswick, were (nought up the >So
, vannali river; am! put ashore yesterday j
evening ah mt 3 o’clock, at the mouth of
horse creek, three miles below this city r.n
1 the Carolina side. One. of the river boats !
’ is supposed to have taken them from the
’ boat which brought them by Savannah in
1 the. night, to a point tweve miles above that
city.
We learn on good authority that the
, original cargo consisted of 4xo, and that not
one of <hem died, or was seriously ill on
the, p ; sage. It is supposed that the Wan
’ dercr acted, as a decoy boat, and that the
i I vessel that brought them is at large. Citi
zens of our City are probably interested in
the enterprise, and those brought up the
1 : river are supposed to be then:, share of “the
, spoils ”ad have beeri ‘distributed-on their
plantations. It is quietly hinted that this
is the third cargo landed by the same coni

Mexico. —We learn from the special
, correspondent of tile New York Timex,
. that important dispatches have been rc
. ceiveilfrom Mexico, and submitted to the
Government. No indication is given of
, their character, though it is intimated that
, they may entirely change the programme
of the. M,- sage on Mexican affairs. Men 11-
j time, it is uu.lerstood that >Senor Mata, the
, .Juarez Minister, who rccontlj* left Wash -
. i)igton, lias gone to Vera Cruz to obtain full
, powers from Juarez to negotiate a treaty at
, IV ashington for the settlement of all Amer
ican claims against Mexico, and to guaran
tee the right of way across Chihuahua,
Sonora and other Mexican territory, to
California. It is believed to be the iiiten
- tion of our Government, in case he succeeds
1 in his mission, to receive him immediate!)’,
i and to recognise the Jaurez Government —
s unless some new and important change in
-'lexica 11 affairs should occur.
Man Shut.—On Saturday night a
- ; dispute occsred at a house on Bridge street
. between James Berai.d and James Childs,
; which resulted in the latter shooting
Berand with a pistol. The ball entered
the side just above the hip, and probably
lodged near the spine. The wound is con
sidered a dangerous one. Berand was
carried to the hospital, and Childs escaped.
