On Saturday afterncon last William Howard, a young man, was murdered by his brother, sammel Howard, in Alexandria county, Va., where they both belong, and to whose orderly and respectable citizens they have long been a nuisance and a terror, in connection with a of Iswiess desperadoes with whom they associate’ The murder was committed on the rvad leading from Georgetown by the toll gate en the Columbia turnpike, to Alexandria. ittiam Howard passed by the toll gate much ‘icated, and laid down by the road side at the foot of the hill, about one hundred yards south of the gate of James Roach, Esq. In haif an hour bis brother Sem came down the tarnpike to the toll gate, armed with a large knife, and being drank. He flourished the knife in presence of the gate keeper others, threatening how he would make the people about the farm of Anthony Frasier ‘stand benk.”’ He bore enmity to Mr. Frasier and his employees and servants, which he was in the habit of expressing when he was intoxi- cated. Leaving the toll gate he proceeded down the road to where his brother lay sleep- ing, and awakened him On doing so, the latter at first eudeavered to make him go away; but finally got up and preceeded with bim some diztance, perhaps half a mile fur- her down the road, where the altercation en- sued in which the murderer stabbed his vie- tim some five or six times in the back and one wound at least penetrating his heart, d probably producing death instantly. The murderer not loug afterwards, bloodied over, with sleeves rolied up and knife in hand, went up to the baggy of Mr. McLean, lumber dealer in this city, who resides near where the erime was perpetrated, and was about entering bis gate when thus accosted : McL , knowing his bad character, motion- ed him away menacingly. His crime only became known by the discovery of the corpse of his victim yesterday morning by persons passingoverthe road. Suspicion was instaatly fastened on Sam’l Howard, and he was prompi- ly sought for at his home four miles farther up m the county; and was found there in bed, bis bloody shirt and knife being discovered under the bed On being arrested he inquired if his brother was dead, and, being answered in the afirmative, manifested great anxiety to learn whether he would be hung for kiiling him. At first he manifested indisposition to go to Alexandria with his captors, alleging that there was no law for his arrest on that day— Sunday. He was, however, taken down to Alexandria, and lodged in the county jail, to be examined to day for final commitment. Both these men are said to have been en- «ged in the riotous conduct that took place at the recent county election at the Alexan dria county precinct, wherein many outrages were perpetrated by them and other such char- acters from the neighborhood and this city, all cf them professing to be very intense Americanz. Panonaxa ov Cain AND Japan.—The put- lic exhibition of this admirable panorama commences to-night at Iron Hall. At the pri- vate exhibition given by the accomplished artist on Saturday night to his friends, we no- ticed the veteran King, Clark Mills, Bessau, Stanly, and a large number of the prominent rtists now stopping in Washington. This panorama consists of a series of tsb- leaux, some sixty in number, and really af- fords the spectator a very delightful and in- structive trip to these interesting countries at the slightest possible expense and labor. Com. erry, who commanded the United States ex- edition to Japan, bears testimony to the trath- fulness of these views. Mr. Bayard Taylor, who says he has looked with his own eyes upen nearly all the scenes represented, ac- knowledges “its remarkable accuracy and fidelity to nature.”’ The first part consists of pictures from sketches collected in China by Mr. West who went to China in the suite of Caleb Cushing, U.S. Minister to that country, sailing in the t frigate Brandywine, and remained in ina seven years, during which time he veiled most extensively, and saw more of * Middle Kingdom” than most foreigners. The latter portion of the exhibition is from original sketches by Wm. Heine, artist of the late Japan Expedition, painted by George R West and William Heme Mr. Heine, being one of the suite of Com. Perry, took advan- tage of the facilities afforded him by the Com- mander-in-Chief to take sketches of the most remarkable events of the expedition, and cf anese scenery, customs. and manners.

Lost Caipaex —Some pains are taken by the suxiliary guards to restore lost children ‘heirparents Frequently little children have Seen sent to the guard house, where they re- main until called for the parents. On Satur- ty night, a child was taken to the guard house ; a member of the guard was despatched with it, and after a long walk found its home. le said he was well paid for his trouble by se thanks of the parents, who were rejoiced bave their little one returned unharmed. Fires —On Saturday night, about 9 o'clock, ‘se alarm of fire was caused by a bonfire in ‘te northern part of the city. About 2 o'clock = Sunday morning, the frame building on the © rner of Tenth and G streets, was discovered ‘o be burning. The fire was extinguished by guards on duty before the building was usly injured. The house belongs to Mr. Kins, and was occupied by Mr. E Davis «a shee shop. The loss is small; and, we Sear, covered by insurance. , \'0lxG to Rowe —AtSt. Dominick's Church, ! i, op yesterday, the respected Pastor, ‘se Rev.

Maguire, * Auc- toneer, Tar Nation Gane ar Laner—Escare oF PrisonErs.—About nine o'clock last night the guards at the jail discovered that Ray, Croggin, and Bailey, three of the gang of burglars who were arrested about the time of the escape of Washington Nailor, and David ¥. Moors, who was committed for voting in several precincts at the last election, broken jail and escaped. They had been con- fined in the northern cells of the jail fronting the high wall on G street. They got out of the cell, and cut an iron bar out of the win- dow, which let them into the yard. They then scaled the high wall by means of a rope, it is thought. A party of men were seen ing from the wall in different directions, and they are to have been the prisoners and their friends Information of the escape wes carried directly to Captain Mills and Mayor Magruder, who immediately stationed the guards to intercept the fugitives should they attempt to leave city. A search was also made at all the old haunts of the parties, but they were no where to be found. It is said Moore and a smaller man, probablyBai- ley, were seen to leave Moore’s house on Eley- enth street, and take a westerly direction. The police and court bailiffs were sent to the different roads, but at the time of writing this no certain information relative to them has been obtained. It is generally sup) that they were furnished with the implements to effect their escape by friends who had been allowed to visit them at the jail. Since writing the above we have visited the jail. The iron bar removed was the same upon which Edwards operated when he attempted to escape. The cut made by Edwards had been covered, in repairing, by an iron socket. The present cut is made near the intersection of the crossbar, and in such a position as to escape notice, having. in addition, been appa- rently filled with bread crumbs. The process of cutting bas evidently ocoupied considerable time, and was apparently done with a saw constructed from a knife blade. They must have had a key to fit the lock of their cell, and to enable them to make their way into the passage fronting their cells, as tho lock is uninjured, and was evidently.not o— by force. From the yard they made their way up the wall, at the southwest cor- ner, where it joins the jail, by means of a rope constructed of bed-ticking ; then crawl- ing along the wall to the northwestern corner, thay let themselves down to the street bya Tope attached to the top of the wall by a hook which implements were evidently provided from without, as nothing of the description was obtainable in the prison. The prisoners were first discovered as they were creeping along this wall by a gentleman by the name of Reed, who lives opposite the jail. Mr. Reed saw six persons getting down the wail, which shows that assistance was af- forded from without, as only four prisoners escaped. Mr. Reed immediately gave notice at the jail of the escape. The guards on duty were Messrs. Waugh and Latruite. They had been through the prison and examined the cells just previous to the eseape of the prisoners, and found them apparently asleep ; fifteen minutes after, the prisoners were discovered to be gone. An examination of the jail shows its miser- ably ricketty condition, and we do not wonder that it has been indicted by the Grand Jury. Last week, the prisoners committed on suspi- cion of robbing Mr. Denton S. Porter, at Wrenn’s hotel, made an attempt to escape, and with acommon knife made ina short time a formidable hole in the soft brick-work of the wall of their cell; they designing to make their way into the female quarters, and from thence into the jail yard. The guards, how- ever, heard the noise of the cutting and frus- trated the attempt. Three of the Nailor party, viz: Belt, Steele and Demaine, remain in jail. Tue Testimoxiat Bexerit to Mr. George Kunkel, at the National Theatre to-night, will no doubt be largely attended, as Mr. K. de- serves a bumper. Our crowded columns pre- vent a more extended notice, but the mere announcement should be sufficient to fill the house from pit to dome. Warca Retvurns.—The report of the east- ern watch-house shows but a single prisoner last week—Chris Goodwin, workhouse. No prisoners at the western lockup. Sunday morning: F. Edgar, drunk and dis- orderly ; workhouse thirty days. J.C. Rust, drank; do. Tobias Williams, (eolored,) drunk and disorderly ; security and cost Terence Boyle aud John Ready, riot; jail. Jno. 0.

Cutcago, June 13.—Persons from Kansas City report that a collision between Whitfield’s men and the U.S. troops is imminent. The former is reported to have threatened to hang Col Sumner for ordering them to leave the Territory. Sr. Lovts, Jane 14.—A lotter dated the 8th instant, from Lawrence, discredits the report of the hanging of Governor Robinson, who is at Lecompton guarded by United States troops. in the battle which occurred at Franklin two pro-slavery men were killed; and in the bat- Ue at Palmyra five of the pro-slavery party were killed and several wounded. Three free- soilers were wounded _It is reported thatthe mails were searched at Franklin. The report that J. M. Barnard had been killed proves to be false. The Anti-Fillmore Convention. New Yorx, June 15.—The convention has accepted the Republican proposition for a fu- sion, and passed a series of resolutions look- ing to that result. One resolution proposes that the convention should nominate a candi- date, and also appoint a committee to confer with the nominee and afte:wards with the Re- publican Convention. The plan is, as under stood by outsiders, to nominate George Law, who will decline in favor of the Republican Convention on the 17th. Mr. Law made a speech to the convention advocating the restoration of the Missouri compromise and the eonstruction of a railroad to the Pacific. The following informal ballots were had by the Seceders on Saturday afternoon, (the whole number of votes cast being 122 :) First ballot—Banks 42, Fremont 36, McLean 19, Stockton 13, Ex-Gov.
