APPARITION OF DR. HUGIIES, "WHO WAS RECENTLY HUNG. Dr. Hughes, while standing on the scaffold, with the rope about his neck, declared that he should be with the earthly community as much after death as before, and he seems determined to keep his word. Among the many persons who called to see Hughes in his cell before the execution, was an honest butcher of the Teutonic persuasion. This man, from the moment of his interview with the doomed doctor, became much atflicted with Hughes on the brain. Scaffolds and gibbets, and men dangling by the neck, were constantly flitting before his sleeping and waking eyes. After the doctor was executed matters grew worse and worse; the butcher being unable to sleep nights at all, owing to the ghastly visions that appeared before him. The climax to this strange state of mind was reached last evening. Upon that occasion the butcher entered his .barn in order to care for the inmates thereof, when who should he see, standing by the side of the horse, but Dr. Hughes, dressed in the same suit of clothes that he wore before leaving the planet, and looking just as natur al as life. The butcher gave one loud, piercing and unearthly yell, and fell upon the stable floor in a swoon. His family, hearing the cry, hastened to the barn, where he was found just in the act of recovering. With a wild eye and blanched cheek he pointed to the stall, and enquired whether Dr. Hughes was still there. Upon a negative answer being returned, he declared that he had just seen him, and that if he wasn't in the barn he must be in the immediate vicinity. With an unsteady step, and with the assistance of his wife, the butcher was enabled to reach the house. Helias not yet reofmnvaA frnm llin froio'Vtf c>f locf evening, still remaining in a high state of mental and physical excitrment. We hear, also, that the inmat es of the jail were likewise thrown into great terror and excitement yesterday, owing to the appearance of Hughes, who entered the prison, and walked about the corridors, as was his won't before the execution. He looked perfectly natural, and was dressed in the neat black suit that he wore 1 ipon the scaffold. As he walked ip and down the corridors, he ivas seen to occasionally pass his , land about his neck, at the same :ime giving vent to a squirting 1 found from beneath his teeth.? ' He finally walked up the steps ] hat led to his cell in a cool and 1 oisurely mannerly manner, and, j ntcring the apartment, sat down 1 md commenced writing poetry. .

FTTH IE NEW YORK NEWS IIaS led against despotism for four years of Mood and terror in asscrtian ofthe sanctity of the Constitution* A patriotism .sufficiently broad to embrace both sections.had been its only tiuide, and it refers now with honest piide to its record to show that it has Dot turned to the right or the left tinder all the violence of arbitraty power. True to its principles as THE NEWS has been through the reign of terror, it challenges public confidence in its honesty and independence for the future. The polit'cal transition of the present day to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Standing now us it always ha?, on the inviolability of the constitution, according to the interpretation of the strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a g< nerous convcrsatisra- As a true and tried exponent of sections amity it occupies a position which makes it the filtig mediutoi in holding up to the party- of order in both section interests and principles that gave breath and vitality to their alliance. jVs an intcrsectional agent, devoted to frce'dmcn of election, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of the habeas corpus, and opposed now as for four years of terror it has been to the centralization that dares to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidate for support before the great body of this once free people. The Circumstances of the moment make the dissemination of the principles of The News a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in iis doctrine must if be entertain a true sense of freedom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but ratlior wit'i the earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love or liberty to do so, the proprietor places the canvas9 he makes here of the public generally in the hands of those men who give him the npproVal of their consciences as his individual agents. Ev. cry reader of TnE News canr.ot avoid the conviction ofduty which is here pointed out as the ground of the request that lie urges its claims for a wider support upon all of his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to the cause of"strictconstrution," iuterscctional conciliation, and all the rights of the eitizeu under the system set up by our fathers of liberty regulated by law. The proprietor of The News calls, therefore i n _ _ a? upon jjooci aim true, uonscrvauves throughout the country to discburge to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the -country's fortuues, the duty of giving to the influence of his paper, daily, semi weekly or weekly the wilier power for pood which it seeks here through the sen ice of its individual supporters.
