Cleve? land, a young man about twenty-five j years of age, visited his friend War? ren George, at Eust Orringtou, Me., for the purpose of pussing tho night. Some time during the night Cleve? land arose and out George's throat from ear to ear, nearly severing his head from his body. His mother, nu old lady seventy years of age, then helped him to conceal the body in the cellar; after which they robbed tho house and fled. The murder baa bnt recently been discovered, and has created a great sensation, from its brutal nature. Tho old lady was ar? rested a few days since, and young Cleveland was apprehended in Boston on Friday night.-New York Times. FAIR RETORT.-The Mobile Regis? ter regards it aa especially unjust that | the Northern papers have denounced the assassination of Pollard ns "a characteristically Southern crime," (when the Southern presabas univer? sally censured and denounced it,) and then collects accounts of several crimes of pearly as atrocious a cha? racter, perpetrated in this region, which have provoked scarcely a Hue of editorial comment. The retort is fair. Our criminal record is aa black as that of the Sooth, without as much incentive or provocation. [Neto York Express. Tho Burlingame mission hus com? menced its deliberations. Tho re? cent act of violence committed in the Chinese waters by au .English war vessel is condemned by Mr. Bur? lingame. It was unwarranted, he contends, to commit such an act previous to referring the circum? stance which occasioned it to tho highest English authority in Pekin. The London Times takes a somewhat similar view of tho matter. The opposition to the admission of the Georgia Senators seems confined to Gov. Bullock and his personal ad? herents and tho colored members who were expelled from the Georgia Legislature on account of their color. Gen. Meade and other prominent Republicans in Georgia, advocate the chums of the Senators elect, and urge their admission. The Aloa, which has just arrived at Mobile, direct frorn Bombay, is built entirely of steel. It is tho first vessel of tho kind over seen in Mobile. About 1,000 persons have been thrown out of employment by the disastrous conflagration, in Lynn, Massachusetts.
