k, Tlie Seiiato is engaged in a sort of parallel
debate on Intervention and the Irish

two mljects, both of which have crept
into the Senate ns an episode to Footc's
resolution. It really strikes tho 44 Observer"
that when the American _ Senate is
devoting its time almost exclusively to debating
sympatlietic resolutions- in behalf
of Hungarian and Irish Kxils, that thebusines
of American legislation has descended
to a very low ebb, indeed. Hie House
was occupied tlio whole of yesterday in
debating Gen. Lane's resolution providing
a dor passing certain tr??>j?s on the route to
Oregon and California to protect emigrants,

Fatal Affray in Cumberland?Oreat
Excitement.
? Fr
Cumberland, Md., Feb ) 1?0 1-2 P. Fr
M..?A terriblo tragedy was enacted here Fr
this evening resulting in the instantaneous Fr
death of W. O. Sprigg, son of Joseph _j=;
sprigg, Es<p, of this county by the hands
of Robert Swan, brother of the late John j0.
Swan, and formerly a Lieutenant in Capt. jiU]
Archer4s company of Voltigeurs in the
Mexican war. It appears that a difficulty
had ex sted between these two young men (
for soino three w coks. I will not under- to_
take to state the particulars of the affair? wo
but this evening Kobert Swan entered the ..
Hotel kept by Mr. Hetfelfinger, armed ,n'
with a double barrel shot gun, loaded, as ,
it seems, with n patent wire cartringe, con- . '
taiuiug, bird nnd squirrel shot. Uponcn- c
tering the bar room where Sprigg was, '
the latter being unarmed, attempted to es- ron
capo the bsck door. Swan, however, tired
at him just as he reached the door; a few ,
scattered shot struck him upon tlie left
cheek and shoulder, sprigg then turned .
and attempted to make his escape into n '
the reading room, but just as he reached
the door Swan fired his second barrel,
which took effect i^i the back part of the Ca
neck?the charge passing through the
head and coming out the right eve. lie
fell dead instantaneously. Swan hits been Wl'
arrested, aiul intense excitement exists
in the con inunity. ?'
Moiir ok tiik Terrible Tragedy.? ca
Cumberland, Ftb. 12.?The dreadful tragedy
which occurred here in Iiaruuin'a
.Hotel lust niglit has produced the most pin
intense excitement. Jn<
So indignant was the populace last night, ,
after the dreadful deed had been porpetrutud,aiul
the coroner's inquest had been J1'0
held on the body of young Sprigg, that
il was with extreme difficulty the jieople "
could 1*j restrained from taking violent
possession of the murderer and punishing
him ou the spot. The officers, however,
succeeded, together with the persuasions *
of the more sobcrthinking part of the coin- |j
inunity, in causi g the enraged citizens to
desist. Sprigg was altogether unarmed ,
when he was shot, which shows he did
not anticipate an attack. He was a wor- '>u
j thy young man, and much esteemed by ^,,|H
jiii wiio Knew mm??in?i neon engaged n? m
an Agent *i tlie Railroad. His funeral bnl
takes |?!ae?' to-morrow. mo
The terrible aet iijhui the part of Swan, bci
.seems to have l?oeu deliberate and |?reniedilated.
He went directly to the hotel nui
w ith his loaded musket, and without giving J
a moment's warning, tired the fatal shot. I
It is also stated that after the murder,
when under arrest, lie declared that it was wo
his delilierate intention to kill thedecensod ! (]j-s
and seemed to exult in the tact, as lie pat- or
toil his gun and seemingly applauded it en<
for being faithful to las trust. He is be- I nui
i lieveil to have been under the influence of P'r
li<piur w hen lie |>or|?etrated tin; deed. lie I !
w as a young lawyer in practice at our bar, ,k'
and highly esteemed l?v all who know !MM

Secessionists and Co-operations.
The former advocating the' separate

operation of all, or some of the slave-holdf
States. Besides tin-so two great parties,
i have in the State, although in the minor,
thy* Union party, who ?r? opposed to
cession under any circumstances, bvllovf
our wrongs arc exaggerated, that we
vc no cause to complain of the Federal
ivernnient, and that we had hotter remain
we nre. Then, again, we have a party,
