BOARDING AMERICAN YEssELs.-The Toronto
(Canada) Colonist of the 20th instant has a calme
and sensible article on the subject of the recent
aggressions upon American vessels by Biritishc
cruisers, in which it says:
The over-zealousness of the British eruisers in
the Gulf of Mextico in their efforts to cutt off the
slave trade, has evidently occasioned a great
deal of angry feelincg at Washington, and we
cannot icgne surprisc at the result. The board
ing of vessels wheich on any reasonable ground
may bie supepo.sed to be shivers may be politzi
enough ; but the couarse recently pursned by
British conmmande-rs in the gulf implies a mutch
wider pretension, and, in our opinion, (10es not
admnt of palliation or defence. If it imply any
thing, itanmounts to a practical assertion of the
old doctrine of the right of search, to which the
American government and people will never
suibmit.

The last . shot was'fired af~cr she lead come to

ArrFAIRSJNEANSA5.-Affairs in Kansa!a$ from
hbeiug in a very bad state, have become gradual.
ly worse, until- they have reached a climax. We
have learned from Mr. Overstreet, a well'known
citizen of our conety formerly, that the aboli
tioanists have driven ever pro-slavery man from
Linn '.ounty, Kansas. TIhere were among these
several citizens of our country who were warned
byv thema to leavo in 24 hours or suffer -death.
'fhey stole eyerlhing they could lay their' hanzd
on that wsa of any value. The clothes of the
women and children were taken and they driven
from their homes almost in a state of nudity.
The band who was at the house of Mr. Over
street, was composed of about 30 men, all well
armied -an.i mounted, and led by a man naned
Muntgoimnery, who was oue it citizen of Jackson

When we have listened tt the stories of these
men whomi we know to le honest, peaceful citi

our i lood ) boil to think that we are Missourians
and will permit such outrages to be commnitted
on our very border. Such deeds as those vaga

RULES THAT MUST IN FUTURE BB OBSERVED.
All adrertisements from this date, not amounting to
roro than $10, must be paid for in advance.
Merchants and others advertising by the year, will
be required to settle every six mouths.
Ntl p.per will be sent out of the District unless paid
for in udvance.
All letters on business connected with the Office, to
receive prompt attention, must be addressed to the
, Edge eI.4 AdIrcrtiarr."
To these rules we will rag.dly adhere. Therefore,
tako nutice andi net accordingly.
pJ - Dint fall to read the beautiful story on the
first page, entitled "The Wife's Punishment, or Wo
mai.'s Stratagem." It is from the pen of our valued
cotrespondeut, " Jatssr Woot5Eisr.."
g" We invite the attention of our readers to
the tdvrtisements of Messrs. W. R. A T. S. IHcDsos
and Vs. L. Pass, Agt., who, it will be seen have just
received at large lot of Bacon, which they are selling
at reasonable prices. We took a look at irnsoss,
and found it the A No I Tennessee article. The
Messrs. II. also any that they intend selling Groceries
as "cheap as the cheapest," and we verily believe they
will do it.
SALE DAY.
A very respectable number of citizens were out on
sale-day. News from the erops, rather discouraging.
Oats, very poor. Wheat, not so good as was anticipa.
tel. Cotton, so-so. Corn, fair.
The candidates were very busy. The interest of
the e:nvass fur the Legislature is increasing. No
question as yet before the people.
FIRE.
On Tuesday the 27th May, Mr. SAMraLt. BAKn of
this District had his houses entirely consumed by tire,
-z total loss with the exception of some little machi
nery. Mr. B. ine an energetic and ingenious mechanic
and has the warm sympathy of his neighbors in this
disastrons misfortune. We understand a subscription
is in circulation to assist in relieving the immediate
necessities of him and his family. A charitable and
commendable step!
EQUITY COURT.
The annual term of this Honorable Court is pro

in brief buit expressive terms of the melancholy event;
ordering also that the "resolutions of respect," re
ported by Col. CannOr.t.. be entered upon the minntes
of the Court, and that the Court stand adjourned for
tbe day.
We note the attenmdance of several prominent mem

Geld welcoumes them.to a pmrti.ipation in her forensic
prosnts ammd honors.
'The . terum will 'probably continue for the entire
week, as we bave a pretty full doeket with several
causes that may occupy some time in the dinmcussionm.
THAT PLANTATION.
Which plantation? The one in Baker county,
Georgia, which we are advertising to be sold. Let us
tell you that it is one of the choice places in that
ountry; at least we have the fact from a gentlemen
who only says what be knows and always knows what
he says. It is not for us to eneourage any citizen to
go either to Baker, oc to Texas, or any where else ;
but if amny one is going, we can confidently advise
him to call by and look at thmat plantation.

SENATOR HIAMMIOND.
This distinguished gentleman has taken a high and
considerate position upon the questiorq of war with
England. His views are beams of true statesman.
ship, and shine the more purely from being contrasted
with the gmarish flashes of hasty resentment whmichm
have found encourmagem:ent even among American
Senators. The following is an epitome of his re
m.rk' on the subjec&. Brief as it is, there is in it
the substane of a good set speech.
"Mr. Hlammondt disagreed with the Senatmr from
Georgia. lie was not willing to be smuggled into a
war by an amendmient to an aumendmsent. If the
British amris are belligerenmt, let us thrmw withm all due
solemnity the bloody spear. If we must have war,
let us declare war after dignified considteration. War
with Emngland wosuld Ibe the nmost umomentous event
that has happened in the past tthree centuries. pmerhmaps
in all the past. Perhap. hosilities with England are
soner or later inevitable, and when it comes he he
lieves England will be rushing on ther fate. Let us
avail oursel vcs of the chance affordedn by those reso
lutions, not to decide, until it lie forced on us, an event
which, whenever it comes, will change the face of
human affairs."
DEATH OF SENATOR HENDERSON, OF
TEXAS.
By a telegraphie despaiteh to the Augusta papers
from Washington City, datted 5th June, we gather the
following :
The death, of thme Hon. J. Pinckney Hlendlerson,
Senamntor from Texums, took place last night. The Sen
ate adjourned to-day in consequence of this sad event.
During the announcemnent in the Senate this morn
ing by time Hion. Samuel Houston, of the death of his
colleague, the old man wept like a child, and the
scene excited unusual feeling.
The funeral services of Senator Henderson, were to
take pltace in the Senate Chamber en Sunday.
The House adjourned out of respect to the memory
of Mr. Henderson.
It is understood that it is the desire of the Presi
det, that Congress should not adjourn at too early a
day, in view of the unsettled condition of public
affairs.
THE CHARLESTON STANDARD.
A brief response had been prepared by us to a cer
tain supercillious fling at the Adlrertiiser, by this
Journal. But as the paper is now defunct, we forego
the retort. In place of it, we record our regrets at
the Stanmdard'~s demise. It has long occupied a highly
respectable position in the ranks of "the fraternity,"
and has been, Invariably to us, a moat welcome visi
tor. The circumstances are to be deplored which
have caused its discontinuance. We trust its proprie
tors may make a succescful disposal of their interests
therein, and that its late energetic editor (whom we
know to be a "man of earnestness and purpose")
may soona be placed in another Gield commensurate
with his abmilities. [The said editor must let us ask
him whether any " Harry Skimbold"' of thenm all
could make as good an og-hand wish as that.]
AGRICULTUR AL PR EMIUMS.
The premiums awarded at our lastegricultul Fair
were delivered to the successful competitors on Mon
day. The Court House room wee attended by a num
ber oft intelligent citizens on the occasion. The pre
miums made a very pretty display, and were accepted
ty their reaiprients wtith graceful appreciation, not so
much for their iutriuisic worth (although they were
quite handsome) as fropa tbmp consideration of what
they represented, viz: the mued of aspee in an hon
orable competition of home industry. We tys& that
many ethers will hereafter be induced, to enter thisa
field of osofta emulation. No institution in our midst

TORE " STRANGER" COMIC AGAIN.
[Seene opens in piaza of Corar's Hotel.]
Ed. Ah my dearfullow! Glad to see.you amongst
as once more. How do you do, when did you arrive
and what's the news?
Straa. To reply laconically, in the up-country
style, I will say; "well:" "yesterday:" and "none at
all." The truth .is, I havo come here to learn the
news. You people of Edgefield, it is said, consider
your little town the centre of the universe, and should
therefore of gourso know more than all the rest of
us. The 'elatiale should have a wider scope of vis
ion than we of the common sort.
Ed. Now there, you are jeering us. Come, none
of that. To be sure Edgefeld is a great place; and
we are cognirant of most things, I admit. But there
are a few little circumstances of the outside world
which a cosmopolitan like yourself may be allowed
to be more familiar with than even we of Edgefield,
-such for instance as the price of maearoni in Na
p1es, the prospect of the fig-erop in Smrna, and a
few others less important particulars of intelligence.
We allow you that much.
Strcang. Upon my honor you flatter us,-you, who
have no railroad, no telegraph. and only a tri-weekly
mail communication with the rest of mankind !-you
who are isolated here and cut off as it were from
Rd. Iuld there:-why, sir, it is this very position
of things that gives us our peculiar character of ex
cellence, Celetial excellenee if you will'so have it,
We get the news only after it has been sifted and win
nowed by the coarser barbarians around us,-men
whose very complexions havo the dark tinge of their
steam-engines and whopse visions are dimmed by the
dust kicked up in their mad career. Thus we are
ever the favored recipients of the truet if not of the
"n,,.rest news." Like ]tasselas in the Happy Valley,
we also have space and leisure to inwardly digest and
properly appreciate the absurdities of the ignoble herd
of mankind, as they are revealed to us through this
filtering process. I need say no more, to show you
the decided advantages of our stand-point of intel
ligenee and observation.
Strang. And are you in earnest sir ? Do you real.
ly hug this fond delusion to your soul? Is it true,
that, on these pretentious grounds, your little town
here is to be kept immured in a slothful retirement
At only for Fee-jee Islanders? Can your people so
easily soothe themselves into indifference to the greal
race of progress and development which the descen.
dants of Alam are running on almost overy other
spot of the civillized globe ?
Ed. Tut, tut, man! Have I not said that this is
our special strength ? The rest of the world, sir,
are our laborators. We sit in judgment upon their
fast follies anmid the deop wisdom of our reflectivc
seclusion. We scorn the wealth and magnificenet
attained by them in their dirty turmoil. We have
our peaceful pleasures all to ourselves. Cold water
and vegetables (with chickens and an occa:ional bil
of mutton,) make up the delicious sustenance of our
physical man; And a charming repose of thought se.
cures our mental faculties from premature dohay.
But it is of no use to argue a settled point. Say nc
more,-our village fathers, with all the solemn force
of an intelligent loaferism, have decided that it shall
be so; and as well might you attempt to amend the
lans of the Mdes and Persians, or accelerate the
steady and d.gnified tread of the stately elephant.
.e't.'hn. I'm dumb, sir-dumb as a church mouse.
in the language of the Roman ritual, "pax cols
cu.,, ;"-And "speaking of guns," I see there a stone
edifice arising in your midst, which "mine boat" of
the Sa.na lMo:M:s has informed me is to be a veri.
tle Roman Catholic Temple.
Ed. True, sir, very true, with the exception thal
it is called a churcha and not a temple.
Stra.g. Oh, I meant no allusion to idol-worshil
by the term ta'ns ;-lt was only a fancy expression
applied to what giver promise of being a fancy build
ing.
*Ed. It may lbe called " faney" perhaps, in thai
it is of the picturesque old Gothic style; hut as tc
all other points. Ifsancy it is a rerality.
Straang. OIf course, of course,-aud apparently a
very solid reality. It will at all events prove a very
handsome architectural addition to your town. Ought
it not, sir, to stir up the members of your Protestant
denominations to a 'little more munifience in the
end.,wment of their sanctuaries ? I have oftee
thought that the houses in which the worship of the
Living Go'd is attended to should be built of stone it
possible, or at least of more durable 'materials than
are commonly used in our country.
Ed. And why ?
Strrag. First, for thenanifest reason that it ic
due to Hlini that Jli churches should surpass in ex
cellence all the other buildings of earth.
Ed. True.
Stag Secondly, it is better for the religious wel
fare of men that they should worship od where
their fathers worshipped before them. There ih
something imposing, in feeling that we knaeel where
our ancestors before us all likewise knelt. It essen.
tially paromu.tes veneration and religious fervor. liow
can it be expected that American Christians will
ever experienee this salutary influence, with the
fimsy and perishable manner of church architecture
still so general amongst us, especially in the country
and in country villages ?
Ed. Y'ou are entirely right, and I agree with you
that the present instance isa a good example set to all
Christian denominations. Puaritr'ndvn mnay ire against
you, baut Truth and fiuty clearly sustain your posi.
ion. Arid now, sir, yhall we not take a partial stroll
about the village anal see what changes have occurred
in the appearance of things since last you were haere.
[(The popoced a str:t" aa takena, and the SynA.r~
GhR anrd the Entrron are nme a'uted in the latter'a

Strang. Yes, inadeed; I moust adnait (and I do
so with plerasure) that your academical institutions
seem to be properly cared for and well sustained.
That Male Acadenry over in the sequestered gribve
has deciadedly a scholastic air. Anal what a hand
some, manly set of sturdents ! I dent know when I
have seen a finer sample of Young America.
Ed. Fine fellows they are, and, as I am informed,
studious and amnbitious of excellence. We pride
ourselves upon those lioys.
.S'ruag. Not without reason, doub~tless. Your
Female Seminary also presents a very inviting ap
pearance.
Ed. Yes, sir; and our girls are as charming as
our boys are clever.
Struag. I thought so. That was a pretty bevy of
them we saw issuirng from the schooh-yard as-we
passed along. Some there pierhaps who will he the
cause of many heart-achmes to the rougher sex; or
which is far better, whlo will make themselves bless
dngs to others in their quiet journey of life.
Ed. No doubt of that,-none in the world. You
have only to knew our Edgefield girls to diseover
that they are jewels. They are the traue grit, and so
r'nk wherever they go.
aStran'g. Well, sir, it is a good thing and a pleas
ant, to see flne schools well attended by industrious
scholars,
Ed. (catching up the remark) And presided over
by capable, energetic and faithful . teachers such au
ours. AUl exactly so.
:Srca:g. Yet, in passing this commendation, I
must be prermittedl to suggest that the approach to
your Male Academy grounds' is sadly in need of re
pair. 'Those gullies in front are ahominable eye-sores;
And they might be remedied at an expense of $20
to $'30. Now what is this little outlay when you pie
ture to yourself what an ugly, rough and discredita
ble place those same gullies will become in a year or
two.
Ed. Oh, that plae is to be fixed, I think ; the
Trustees have had it under consideration.
Strong. " Under consideration," fudge ! jt wants
no consideration. It- is destroyinag in large part the
beauty of your Academy location and should he at
tended to at once. But 1 beg pardon-I had forgot
ten that you do every thing here with the measured
"tread of the stately elephant."
Ed.. No need for raillery, sir; our trestees are
not so elephantine in their moatons as you might im
agine. They know what's what, and, thus knowing,
so do.
S' rang.. Well, it is a little singular that they can't
bestir thasspives to this little extent. I. think yen

A BIGE OF SORROW.
Br 31AxCt'S.
There's a voice from the visions of midnight arouhd
me,
How solemn and mournful, how death-like the sound!
That breathes to my slumbers the woes which cur.
round me
And echoes the words "all alone, all alone!"
There's a voice from remenbrause which breathes in
my ear,
The pleasure I've witnessed, the rorrow I've borne,
I list to the fate which awakens a tear,
While hearing the accents "alone, all alone."
There's a voice from my fancy whos hopes have been
blighted,
That weeps its illusion in heart-rending moan,
There's a voice from the sorrow of love unrequited,
Which tolle me again I'm "alone, all alone."
When I turn to the scenes of my childhood to rove,
And muse on the objects now faded and flow,
When I think of the few that are left me to love,
I then hear the whisper, "alone, all alone."
Vainly I knock at humanity's portal,
And ask for that friendship alas ! I have known !
The world shuns the prayer of the life-wearied mortal,
And mny heart sighs tde answer, "alone, all alone."
And while there are those who are seemingly dear,
There still is a voice whose serene gentle tone
Reminds me that tho' for awhile they are near,
At last I shall fnd I'm "alone, all alone."
Sadly I go to my own silent slumber
And kneel in my thoughts at a heavenly throne;
Sweetly I dream that 'mid joys without number,
I live, love and hope without hearing "alone."
And oh! if there be in you regions above
A place where the torments of life are unknown,
Where days are unnumbered and sorrow is love,
Surely there will be rest for the child of "alone."
THE CROPS.
THE Cnois.-The Lumpkin Ga., Palladium, of
the 2d inst., speaking of the crops in that sec
tion of the State, says: "Wheat is being har
vested, and despite the rust, we have been blessed
with a fair yield. Oats bid fair to be ruined by
rust. Corn and cotton is indeed promising. AN e
doubt whether a better prospect has been seen
ior many years. Our hearts should swell with
gratjtude to the Giver of all these blessings for
the same."
WE are now in the enjoyment of weather
most favorable to crops of all kinds-warm and
sufficiently moist. W1 e believe the unanimous
verdict is that the crops in this section of Geor
gia never held out a better promise.-,Macon
Telegraph, June 1.
WHEAT in this vicinity is now nearly ripe. We
have examined some fields, but have not observ
et'-any of the bad ('ffects of the rust, about
which so much has been said lately in the pa.
pers of this State. We think the farmers here
abouts will gather at least the usual yield, what
ever losses maay be met with in other locations.
-Madison (Ga.) Visitor.
\VIW .-The wheat in this section, (says the
Athens Ga., -u/ck'au, oftlie 3dinst.,) looks well,
and we think it is now-the most of it-out of
the reach of rust.
. Fon some time past we have had fine weather
for the growing crops, and we learn .from well
informed planters, that the prospect for a good
yield is most excellent. As yet nothing has
suffesred from dry weather in this section. The
wheat crop in this vicinity promises an abun
dant yield.--Georgia West Point Citizen.
Rrs-r rx Gnaz.--The wvheat and oat crops
throughout this section have been entirely de
stroyed by rust, and we learn that in some pla
eses it is lbeginuing its inroads upon corn. There
will not be sufficient wheat and oats made to
fur-nish seed for the next season, and it is great
ly feared that the corn crop, notwithstanding the
favorable season, will lbe very short.
Albany Patriot, June 3
Tum Cnor Paosa'-crs.-We had an opportn
uity on Saturday last of seeing and conversing
with a number of our friends from various see
tions of the county, in attendance on the demo
cratic Meeting, and was happy to learn from
them in person that their crop prospects, both
corn and cotton, were upon the whole very prom
ising.-Tallahassee, Sentinel 1st inst.

'however, that they will injure, to any great de

this part of the Academic grounds.
Ed. My dear sir, I perceive you are, as usual,
disposed to be severo upon us.
Strang. Perhaps it is because yiu are, "as usual,"
liable to criticism. But no:-I have no desire to
censure, except where it is palpably just to do so.
There are many features of your little town that are
truly pleasant to behold. There ii an air of neat
ness and comfort about it which certainly distin
guishes it above most other villages of my acqunin
'tance. Walking down your main street just now,
it was good to look at the proces of whitening up
the yard fences on both sides. Of.course all these
fences will be whitened now, to bein keeping. Other
wise the tot ensemble of the street will rather partake
of the shabby-genteel,-partly decent, partly dirty.
But with all renewed at the same time, the effect will
be very pleasing. And by this sort of. concert of ac
tion heroafter, the appearance of your "grand entry"
can always be kept uniform in it-s neatness.
Ed. Sir, you are 'certainly In the right again.
While you are partiular in your notions, you
are also sensible in your suggestions; ani I
wish our villagers 'could allrhear you talk. I am
sure they would heed what you say.
Strang. I hope so. The truth is I like old Edge
field, if she is a long way off from the big road.
This you know though already. -I only repeat the
expression of my regard, that you may not think
me cynical in any observations I have made or may
hereafter make.
Ed. My friend, you are a fair and a reasonable
man enough; and I have great respect for your opin
ions. Give me now a succinet estimate of the good
and the bad you have seen about' town in our walk.
Strang, Certainly, without hesitation.-I will be
gin in what you call the Buagggthtside. The Chan
cellor's residence has been much improved,.I see. It
is but little like the barn it ised to be. Put that
down
Ed. Good ?
Strang. C'est cela niene. But the rocky road in
coming down the hill from his' house is still barba
rously rough. Mark that
Ed. Bad, of course.
.trang. . The rest of Buncombe remaining about
the *gme, you may characterize any way you please.
Ed. Indifferent then.
Struaaj. Let It be as you say.
Ed. So there we have Buncombe, good, bad and
indifferent. Now come over the branch into the
town proper.
Strunag. Well, sir, here's your fine looking Odd
Fellows & Masonic Building. Mark that "good."
Ed. Good. Go on.
Strang. Then hero's your.admirably expansive
public square-perhaps you may mark it "better."
E.l. Better;-Proceed.
Strang. And in the midst of this commodious
square is your beautiful little enclosure of trees,
now almost interlocking their exuberant branches in
seemingly affectionate contiguity. Put that down
"bost,"
Ed. Bert; Hurrah for us !
Strang. But, on the other haul, I must mention
your rather common Court House.
Ed. Shall' I mark it "bad?"
, Strang. Yes;-And there's that shocking street
that loads out by the big old Hotel, which may be
said to be " worse."
Bd. Worse ; well, sir.
Sgtrang. And lastly (Stranger gets up and edges
toirurde the door of the satasrn) here is this ugly,
dilapidated, crazy, dirty, disgraceful piata of your
abominable old Printing Offie,-and that's-(hoarse

was fair and just, so that no charge oaf E.recuatire

AGRICULTUR AL 'PRCEIUM.LIST.
.The attention of the farmers and planters of Edge
field is again asked to the Premium List of the Dis
trict Agricultural Society. It is hoped that many
more citirzens will become members of this Society
before the Fair in October next. Whether they do
or not, it is earnestly asked that they will make pre
paration to become exhibitors on that occasion. Those
who mauy do so should read over the Premium List
carefully and choose at once the departments in
which they will compete for premiums. And here
we give the assurncee that these Premiums are not
imaginary.. Those given' out at the last Faair may
now be seen at this place in the shap'e of beautiful
ups (silver plate) of various sizes; the pitcher
awarded to Mr. Lou HiLLr, as an extr'a premium for
the haest Devon Bull, is as beautiful a prize -as any
society is in the huabit of giving. The premium plate
fortheo next fair will be still better; And we hope
all will come into this most useful competition. As
we may not publish the Premium List again, those
wishing t', have it for reference should preserve the

While the 'players' are here, read the follow

the lione Journal, detailed it in his last issue. To
catch the point of the joke remember,all along that
Knowles wrnte the " Hunchback."
During the first rehearsal of the " Hunchback," a t
Drury lAne Theatre, Knowles, who personally su
perintended the stage-directions was frequently an
noyed by the remarks of the actors. Some of them
very umuch doubted the success of the play. Clarless
Koblo thought the part, of Sir Thomas Clifford un
worthy of his talents ; he consented, however, to per.
form it, for his dlaughter's sake. This nettled Knowles,
who would not listen to a single suggestion.
"Give Sir Thomas Olifford another entrunco and
exit speech," said Kemnble.
" I can add nothing mere," replied Knowles.
Hero the parties turned from each other, and the
business of the stage went on for a few moments lon
ger, when It was again interrupted'by Kemble:
"IExeuso me, Mr. Knowles; but this part absolute-.
l requires an addition: a alight alteration would
render it more effective. You smust make another
speech for Sir Thomas."
Knowles colored, and, turning abruptly to "the
patrician of the stage," gave vent to his feelings in
these terms:
"M -i-s-t-e-r Kemble, brains are not shingles, sir ;
and, if they are, I am no carpenter I"
Kemble smiled at the oddity of the expression, and
Knowles left the theatre in a badl humor, and quite
discomfited.
At night, the bickerings of the morning were for
otten-the house was crowded with the fashion and
taste of the English metropolis-the play was ap
plauded andl cheered throughout-and the certain
fell amidst the most animtated applause ever board
within a.theatre. First the author (who, in conse
quence of the indisposition of one of the actors, per
frieod the Hunchback) was ealled for, and made
his bow:-his reception was cordial in the extreme.

kerchiefs was universal throughout the building. And
next came Mr. Charles Kemble, who announced the
play for repetition, amidst a shower of bouquets.
" Well," said *Knowle, when they were out of
public view, " what ulterationa can you suggest now,
Mr. Kemable ?"
" Nothing in the tert," said Kemblo; "but I'think
the cast of the piceo might ho improved."
" Ah, there," said Knowles, "I allow you to be a
bettr judge than myself; any suggestion of yours
is well worth attending to-what is it?"
" Why, sir," said Kemble, intending to hit poor
Knowles in a moat sensitive part, " I think if Master
Waltr were in any other bands than your own, the
effect of the play would be improved."
Knowles looked confused; but he immediately
rallied his spirits, andl asked -Kemblo what fault ho
had te find with his performance ?
" Why," said Kemble, "you are imperfect in thae

TRAGEDY IN TEAB.
BELTO%, Bz.i. Co., Texas, May 18.
I have to record an awful tragedy that occur- *
red in Brown county, in this State, last week.
Two entire families consisting of ten persons,
were all murdered in cold blood, for money,
with the exception of three children, the oldest
a little girl eight years old, and one an infant,
who was found sucking its mother's breast, 24
hours after she had been murdered. They were
murdered by four men from Lampasas county,
who professed to be out on a surveying expedi.
tion. They knew that those fashilies had money,
and they went disguised as Indians, thinking
that by murdering the whole families, none but
Indians would be suspected. The little girl,
however, recognized one of them, who had fre
queutly been at her father's house. She made
her escape into the field where her father was
ploughing, where she found him murdered. She
then went nobly to work with her little hands,
and completely covered him up with dirt, to
keep the buzzards off until she made her way -
to the nearest settlement, and gave the alarm.
The neighbors all then collected, and went in
pursuit, and finally trailed them to their homes
in Lampasas county, where they arrested them
after a desperate resistance by themselves. and
friends. The party were all men of property,
and respectably connected. The party having
them in charge passed through 'oyell county
last Wednesday, on their way with them to the
lace where the murders were committed, where
have no doubt they will lynch them. They
were securely bound, and guarded by about for
ty men. They expected that an attempt would
be made to rescue them; if so, they intend to
shoot the prisoners the first thing.
