. .1 -Jt-jg ? ?i 9h? Deoision of the Sapreme Court.. The decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case will be properly recognized a the most important of the many weighty Settlements of Constitutional law that have grocceded from that illustrious tribunal.? pinionaled fanaticism and sectional prejudice will continue tho clamor against it, already so loudly begun by oomo of our Northern coteinporaries, but the result will J not be Affected thereby. It will stand ?3 tho authorilive settlement of mooted Constitutional points by the only tribunal com potent to pronounce the decision, and gather around it the increasing general assent of our people, until it assumes a moral, as it already has a legal force, in dire;ting public sentiment into a confirmed modo of thinking upon all tho important points affected by it. We nro not so quixotic as to suppose that tllis or any decision will quiet the boctiowtl excitement of tho country upon the sUvory Question. The right to agitate is dho that no judicial authority can limit, and fco long, as in this case, agitation is the lever that works upon Northern prejudices for the attainment of political power, it will be resorted to. But the decision will have power in backing the exortions of conservative men ; it will force anti-sluvery agitation into * more open and avowed field of opposition to Southern institutions not out of but in Southern States, and will give to the friends of Southern rights advantage ground they cannot fail to occupy. Briefly expressed, it will put the latter upon solid, safe and conservative ground of Constitutional law as authoritatively defined, whilst it will drive their opponents from behind the shel tcr of disputed points, and force them to take their pwition upon the open field of hostility to the Constitution as it now exists. Wilmot provisos and Congressional restrictions upon tho rights of inhabitants of territories are henceforth banished from the armory of sectional agitation. They are no longer allowable weapons. [Ilaltimore American. Another Mysterious Tragedy in Missouri.?A very mystci ions murder was committed near the town of Mexico, in Missouri, on Tuesday afternoon, 24th ultimo. Capt. J. \V. Rickets, living a short distance from tli6 town, was found lying dead in the road near his own fence, with two loads of buck shot, some eighty-three in all, through his body, several of which had peiforatcd the heart. r, .1.- i t.- i i ? ? n i>c<-iii3 niiii 11113 iimruervr nau ticnucrntely planned the attack. Cutting some J rail* ao a* to keep himself out of the mud, ho had placed thorn in the corner of the j fence which Captain Rickets was compelled to pass in going home, lie had made two square blocks of wood w hich were lied to his feet like sandals, to prevent being tracked. and waiting till Captain It. came near he shot him dead. It is supposed that he first fired one barrel of a shot gun, the load taking ellcct inthc side ; that the load not instantly producing death. Captain It. having tnrnej towards the assassin, he fired a J second barrel, the load taking effect in the I breast. James X. Rodman, a brother in-law of Ricketls, has been arrested for the murder. Iticketts had charged Rodman with forgerv, and the matter was to be tested at the approaching term of the Circuit Court. The '.rings which bound the sandals or blocks to the feet ot the murderer, are proved to have been bought by Rodman the day previous at one of the saddler shop* in the place ; tiro course of the murderer was traced I to the point where the 1 locks were cut ofl'| and the sitings were thrown up in a tree; I the track* of a man were followed to ihe hack door of Rodman's house, and from the I front door there were tracks leading to the not wherfl Kicketts was murdered llodmnn I wiiii seen to leave his house wiih a gun on that evening, and to return shortly after the deed was committed. Tiif. First Christian Ciicrcii is the United States.?Captain John Smith gives the following interesting sketch of the earliest state of the infant Church in the original settlement of Virginia : " When I first went to Virginia, I well remember we did hang an awning (which is *n old sail) to three or four trees to shadow us f-oni the sun; our walls were rails of! wood, our seats unhewed trees ; in foul J weather we shifted into an old rotten tent for we had few better, and this came by way I of adventure for new. This was our church till we built a bomelv thing like a ham, set; upon crotchets, covered with rafts, sedge,! and earth: so was also the walls, that could neither well defend wind nor rain. Vet we had daily Common Prayer, morning and evening, every Sunday two sermons, and every three months the Holy Communion, till our minister died." This extract i* from a very rare tract (so' scarce that we do not know of any copy in | this country,) entitled " Advertisements for] Unexperienced Planters of New England," I ete., printed in 1*31. The minister referred to was the Rev. Robert Hunt, the first English clergvm who accompanied the colonists of Virginia.
