Jrbwe for tre rmtrrder of Iris wife kept the accus-ed as a boarderand under his im. meliate and direct instigation committed the crime. It is my settled opinion, founded on ex periencre and long observatiin, that. oif all tle murders committed yearly in the United States, nintety.nine in one hutidred are under the insti. gations of the prisoner, Alcohol, and by his :ad vice and assistance. I will say the sume of the thefts and (of other crimes which come to tihe knowledge of the public, and undergo a legal exanination. Aft.

This has been, I tinid the prcoportiont fur many years.

The time has at last come, when, by a righle oue.dcisihn of my country, I am doomed to an igntnghins destruction. Before I go henet-, and am buried forrver inl an execrable ghive, I wikh with sniinble'solemnity to .nake a hiuele confession of my. guilt, and to lift my wairfting I voice aginst those insidious i-nemies to..the pecIL!e ai(d happiness or imin, that capti-vate his I heart while they destroy hi-s soul. - I acknowledge the truth of the tes imoinY brought against me, the f.irness of my tritl and' Lthe justice of my semtence.-,t is but deserved retribution, that it should be executed bVWATFP., to whom, notwithstanding his spot less irincerite, I have ever been ai implicable enemy, and have injiired in the estimation of thousa nd, to whom lie was friendly. If all 1tie evils which I have propagated in the world, had been enumerated ill the idiet ment against me, a general confes sion of their trith, would -4iayd'been: but oh, how little did my accusers or the 'pitnesses against me know if the secret machinatidns in which I hace been engaged to bring ruin upn the family of man. When I was yet it yntjt.h, unknown to the 'ommhiunity,'i y first device vas to gain access to the hearts or tbe muhitude, by representing myself' .s a philanthroList.- To this end, I he eame servaRts to a .physician. Alas! alas! I an sorry to say, my-well meaning patron died my slare. lie wassoi captivated with my in.sinna ting qualities tha't lie introdnueeil in most enien sively, and with fiigl ciomi niendat ion to all his customers, and I soonl bec;nie the adniraitri'of the sick and the well. My popularity was so great, that all myt nniitances spe-i became Ity w:11rim friends, and indeed, in most cai es, such was the power of my h.seintation, that they fell deeply in love wili ne id felt that I was positively indispensable to iheir happines-. I now entered into a leigue with sin, and our .way was irresisible. By inhlamiiig the passion of men, I destroyed their judgenient and stupefied their calnsciences, so that they at once becaine weak and wicked. Sometimes they would mnourn over the evils I was tcoducinis in ti a Co il ni - m :e, than my bewite itg power 1 ,ie loenI ai inito w illinig captivity. They felt iot their danitner; licy knew not that the pimson that drove ol her, to plirenzy. wa- cirenlatitig in their owl) veins: they could noL be made to believe that they were Yoluntary aigemts in the work of des trUcLioit. Thus I had milliontis in reqiiAiol, who never felt. the cord that bound them, and wi.t not till they were beyond hope, that their strength was departed." As Ily influence increased I became bold ; I entiered the conli'is of state and porodtuced wars ; I wenit into ariies and stir red up relbellistn and ireaso;4m on board of ships at sea. I caused revolt and mutiiny : in legl:t tive aemliesi, violence and dicord : it hctes. hIrk-.iding andi hypciisy in families, unnatur.l alienlationl( anld conljngarl 1jin-lily ; and poiverty. disea-e and diaii ererywhere. ii titm whole career, SIN and you all kitow who is the father ol' sil, was lly ini-eparable comlla , and though I do niot mike this di-cliosure withl the hope of pirdon ; this I carniot expect. I AM con seit'us of ttot meritiing it; for imy guilt is too open, and read of all Ilten, to Ierit i : yet as I know that MY accomiuplice is ill ai larg. I wish betfore I !) lcute, to apprise tit 1utblic, THAT WiE.N I A.1 REMoVED, ht will be more easilv restrained ; his -ris w ll he less sitcessful. andl 'with the s: nce vitilamnce, lie w il be. uitehI more easily detected and subdued thant when we were associates."

THE PEoPLE ON THE RIO GRANDE AROUSED-WAR ON THEIR DWN HOOK, ETC. The Brownsville Flag of the 20th u.t. com plains very loudly of the outrages being com. mitted by the Indians in various parts of the State. Besides those which we- have already recorded, it says: " The proceedings of a public meeting, held a short di,tance above this, will recount another. r. At, La Bobeda men- have been killed, and at Sanita G.ertrud'esand five more at a rancho be tween'Rio Grande City and Corpus Christi; and every. *day- but brings additional accouwts." The following correspondence gives more par. tieulars. It is dated Nealville, May -13th: " Yesteriay a man from Baston saw some In. dians in the act of cutting up a cow which they had killed near the rancho. He gave notice to the people of the ranch, and five men went out to see about the matter. They came upon the Indians unperceived, and one of the party fired upon an indian, who fall, but subsequently crawled off into the chapparel; the rest of the Indians fled, and the Mexicans began to collect the spoil, when the Indians rallied and the Mexi cans ran, leaving one man badly wounded, and with an empty gun. Another was wounded in the hip by an arrow, but not so badly but that he could run. The other wounded man not making his appearance, a larger party sallied out to search for him, but owing to the darkness could not find him. This morning the search was resumed, and the man was found dead, having three wounds, two with arrows and one inflicted with his own knife; and by this time, the Indians must have recrossed the river as there could not be found any traces of them on this side. We are here determined to declare war on our own hook, if we cannot induce " Uncle Sam" to do something for us soon, as we are being continually plundered by these In. dians and half-bloods, who one day raik as Mexi. cans and the next as Indians." A public meeting had been held on the sub ject, at which a series of resolutions calling on the Mexican authorities and citizens to remove the Indians, and effectually protect the citizens from their depredations. The following is one of the reseutions passed: " Resolutd, That we desire to live in peace and harmony with our good neighbors on the opposite side of the river: but, that,if they con tinue to let tifese Indians remain among them, and to come among us to murder and rob, with their iniead consent, we shall, in self-defence, be cumpelled to place all on the same footing, and to hold them, as we now hold the Indians, without the pale of law, and worthy of death whenever or wherever they may be found." I1onriD MURDERS ON LoNG IsLAND.-A triple murder of a most diabolical character was per. petrated at Cutchogue, in the town of South. hold, Suffolk Countiv, Long Island, last Friday time previously left the employ of Mr. Wickham, is suspected of being the perpetrator of the hor rid deed. There is no doubt but that he inten ded to murder the whole family, and then fire the dwelling. Providentially the servant girls twoke, and effected their escape from the premi ses, thus saving their own lives, and to some extent frustrating the designs of the villian. The excitement in the neighborhood (if the catas throphe is intense. It is some thirty years since a Muirder was committed there, and the people very naturally are in great alarm. The whole region is up in arms, and vigorous measures laavc been adopted to capture the murderer, who had, up to Sunday, succeeded in excluding his pursuers, thouiugh known to be lurking in the vicinity. A reward of one thousand dollars has been otl'ered for his apprehension. MELANCHOLY CAsE OF DROWNING.-On the 30th tilt., after the very heavy rain three children, M.irtha Hyde, aged 13 years, Rebecca Davis, :aged 9 years, and George Schlobecker, aged aint 6 years. on returning from School at Davis' school-house, taught by Mr. Whittemore, in Ilart ford county, Md., went to see the water rushing from one of the streams into Winter's run, which was very high and full, and falling fronm a plank which they used as a footway, all three wvere drowned.

ILus~oIs WnIEAT CRP.-The season is noW so far advanced that growers can judge, with much accuracy what are the prospects of the ap proaching wheat crop; and the accounts which reath us from all parts of the State give promise of a full and bountiful harvest. WVe learn from one of our millers, who has just returned from a tour throughouit this part of the State, that he has never seen fmter wvheat fields anywhere, and, *tha t, if nothing interventes to cut o11' the promised -y'ield, the crop will exceed all calcutlation.
