If anonymous rs picked up in railway cars were legal lence to ineulpate individuals, the liberty. the life of the best citizens would be at the cy of every unprincipled villain, and we uld be degraded to a state of society worse that during the reign of terror in the nch revolution. These remarks are elicited the following which wechp from the Nash- le News of the Sth inst Tre Tnatcuer Lettrer.—The attempt made i Jobn Brown at Harper's Ferry, scarcely cited more indignation among Southern peo- je, #gainst their Northern brethren, than the bricated letter which led to the arrest of Dr. almer, in Memphis. And many of those well- eaning Southern men who are now institu- ing Vigilance committees, and through them fering needless insult to men from the North, e their perturbation of mind to that anony- jous raseality, even more than to Brown's ad- nt inte Virginia.

And we have heard fr since a tremendous talk through the South about Northern teachers ur reflec- tion might have saved much of this trouble to our dear brethren of the South: there is nothing so indispensable in the composition of a real ab as fanaticism. Are educated men generally disposed to be fanatical? We ven- ture, that if statistic accounts could be made out, of all the fanatics in these United States, or in any civilized country, there would be found a less proportion among teachers of letters, than among any other class of men Those who would poison the Southern mind against goods teachers, made an attack upon eur Southern interests, more deadly than that eld Brown.

The Malone (Franklin county,) Palladium, ¢o tains an account of a murder and suicide mitted in the town of Dickinson, Franklin emnty, New York, on Friday evening, the 6th inst The particulars of the affair. as gathered in the vicinity, and which were mainly sustained at the coroner's inquest, are as follows : Some week: past a Mr. Meacham became jealous of his wife. and it scems had too good reason to beli sv. They quarreled and separated about three weeks previous to thi sad ocetr- rence. Mrs. Meacham returned, with two or three of their five children to the house of her darents. Meacham brooded over this state of things, and at diverse times threatened to shoot toe guilty wife and her parsmour. Mrs Meach- became alarmed at the earnestness of these treats, and some two or three weeks since uaile a to ap leva and Meecham as required to give bonds P ci = eh sted nds to keep the peace the dsy of the murder Meecham heard bis wife had committed a second act of delivy Ate ers another person. which so tisperated him that he proeced . ake his threatened ee So The house of Thos. Cook, the father of Mrs ‘echam, and where she was at the time, is ‘tne twenty or thirty rods off the turnpike, in lonely hollow and i nearly a mile distant yother habitation. On the evening of er, Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Meecham, and v little children. one a S years and the her 10 months old. were at home. Mr. Cook da son, a iad Il or 12 years of age. were at neighbor's by the name of Dustin, who keeps ‘avern in the vicinity. Between the hours 7 and S Meecham entered the house of Mr »k ssid to him “good evening, ade no reply, but i iate! ed “where is Melisan 2 | immediately Mrs. Cook told him she was on the bed get- pg the children to sleep. Mrs. Cook says he tle. and had » desperate Sppearance, and ne his threats, she became exceed- ly alarmed, and bas bnt an indistinet recol- tion of what transpired. except that she saw m move towards the bed—that she heard the charge of fire-xrms—that she saw him drag towards the door, and heard the little boy f. © tirandma, Henry has killed Melissa; be eut her neck just as he does a deer.” echam went to a table at the end of the om and commenced reloading his pistol rs. Cook said to him, ++ you geing to kill je.

As she was asing from the door-yard she heard the report f the pistol agin. She. however, proceeded, td bad passed about two thirds of the way hen meeting her son she sent him back to larm the neighbors. Mr. Dustin and others epaired immediately to the spot.

Our Massachusetts exchanges contain many very affecting incidents connected with the late terrible calamity at Lawrence. We find the following in the esta Journal : Thomas Nice recognized the body of his wife by a ring she wore on her finger. He had searched anxiously for her body, as she was found in the list of the missing. A charred and misshapen mass brought into the room of the dead, he examined. as he examined all. Upon a bone in the elasped skeleton of the hand, he found 4 ring. pon it was engraved hisown name. It had been presented by him to his wife on their happy bridal day. When he found this sure token, his sad consolation triumphed for a moment over his burning sor- ow. He waved his hand aloft and cried for joy. When he looked again upon the blacken- ed corpse, his loss feel as it seemed with adead- e 1ing weight upon his soul,and all was changed. {fe fell upon his attendants, venting the wildest grief. Nothingcould command his attention besides, and he was borne from the room rav- ing wild a: a maniac, exhibiting a feeling strong as could be pictured by the most extravagant imagination Mrs. barrett, wife of James Barrett. of Law- rence, hud lost a child. She, too, was a fre quent fisitor at the dead-house. Saturday af- ternoon she came, accompanied by a younger daughter, bringing a miniature likeness of the lost. The :miniature represented the features of a young lady of unusual personal attractions. Her lively beauty danced in her youthful, fresh and face; an expression of a nature almost angelic beamed in hereyes. With this the mothe sister came seeking the origi- nal among the dead. The lost one was found, but the fair face was burned away; the lithe and graceful form was now a shapeless trunk, which was recognized only by the fabrics of the dress she wore, a small part of which was not destroyed. The mother threw herself on the remains; she aroused herself and gazed upon the miniature, and from that her eyes again wandered tothe remains of her child. She fainted and was borne away. Those present turned away heart-sick. Those who had stood firm through all until now melted until their sympathy awakened tears that fell like sum- mer rain. Among the missing first reported was James Harty. He came from New York nearly a year ago. accompanied by his only sister—his only relative in America. They had long lived for each.other alone. His form below the head was found to be perfect in death, only the flesh was literally roasted by the fierce heat. His body was recognized by a key and portmonnaie in his pocket; added to this evi- dence his boot was pulled off, and, upon his stocking, was found his initial letters, which had been carefully threaded there by his dear sister, who now sought him, and thus found him in her despair. The trunk of the deceased was taken to the City Hall, and the key found in his pocket fitted the lock. To add to the grief of the sister, while it proved again that the vilest depravity can exist among the most awful scenes, the trunk was broken open by some villain while it remained at the City Hall, and all that was practically valuable, as well as all that was highly prized as sacred mementoes, was stolen from it. An incident is related of a young and beau- tiful girl employed in one of the upper stories of the mill, who, when the crash came, was thrown prostrate upon the floor by a piece of shafting which fell across her neck, preventing her rising. The coupling which connected the shaft prevented the latter from strangling her; and in her comparative ease, and confident of a speedy delivery, she calmly watched the ef- forts made by the rescuers ty extricate her. She would have been saved had the fire been stayed but for afew minutes. But the flames swept over the spot, claiming and obtaining its victim. —_—+- 0 Financial Distre it the Far West. From gentlemen who have recently returned from the West. we receive inelancholy accounts of the state of financial mattersin that region. The effect of inflated, extended, extravagant speculations in wild lands and town lots has re- coiled with great force upon not only the capi- 3 who have invested their money, but upon the enterprising pioneers who, while building up the material interests of the coun- try, used their spare money and their credit in purchasing new Iands and estates. The crash of “oT brought down judgments numberless upon the devoted heads of thousands of indi- viduals of this class in Iowa and Minnesota, and ruined men who would have been rich had they sold out before the crisis. More th ne of the men who were the first to plant civilization in the bowling wilderness. who have built up cities and towns. were of- fered extravagant prices for their property and refused them. Instead of selling out and curing & competency of real capital, they in- volved themselves in debt, and when thee came, which swept away the weak banks and bankers of that region, their property was patched over with judgments, and a large pro- portion of it will have to be sacrificed for less than a quarter of its real value. We have heard of many individual cases of peculiar hardship. One man from New Orleans tnvested $30,000 in St. Paul a few years since, and a few months ago he determined to ‘-real- ize’ upon it. He sold it for eighteen hundred dollars! A gentleman who lives in Minnesota informs us that a few days since he was passing through the streets of St. Paul and saw one of the citi- zens, who had been a large dealer in real estate, chopping down his well curb with an axe. He stopped and inquired the reason of a proceeding so erratic an apparently so rash. ‘Come into the yard and I'll tell you,”’ said the chopper, and he proceeded to state that he had been unable to collect acent of moneys due him, for some time, and borrowing was cut of the question. He had not a stick of wood in bis house to cook his dinner with, and as he objected to starving and freezing, he was sacri- ficing the well curb to his absolute necessities. In Davenpert, Iowa, a gentleman who, with * partner, trausacted the heaviest grain and lumber business done in that section of the country, is now earning his bread by driving an {xpress wagon. The city of Davenport is Tend broke. No watchmen, no g8s, no money in the city treasury to pay for anything. Iowa is, in fact. worse off than Minnesota, where a good crop of wheat was raised for exportation last year. Two good crops will restore the North- West to something like prosperity. But the Pressure it is now undergoing will ruin thou- sands of individuals, and check the general growth of that region for several —Bos- ape ea 4 several years. — Bos AmMAtcAMATION Batt Is New Yorx.—A | ae amalgamation ball came off on Thurs- ay evening at the Assembly Rooms, Prince street. composed entirely of black men and white women, no white inan or black woman being admitted. The News says: “The room was tastefully decorated with banners, flags. &c., and portraits of celebrated Abolitionists, conspicuous among the number, being a beantiful colored photograph of John Brown, surrounded by a wreath of Jaurel. At 1 o'clock the festivities were brought to a close by the arrival of Broadway gamblers and shoulder-hitters with bags of flour and soot concealed about their persons. They com- menced by throwing the flour over the black men and the soot-on the white women. At this junctare the lights were extinguished, and then commuincet & scene which beggars description. Word was then conveyed to Capt. Turnbull, who shortly after arrived with ® posse of policemen of the Eighth precinct Lights being again restored, the Captain or- dered the hall to be cleared, an injunction which was immediately complied with, and thus ended the amalgamation ball which af- forded a rich treat to those who witnessed it.” enteral ne oot {77 The latest Lond: Albert is suffering from a Peed cnet Prince MISCELLANEOUS.
