The usually quiet and law-abidin; le of the county of Henry have been inteweely orciton for the ag three or four days, in consequence of a terrible tragedy—or rather triple tragedy—that was enacted in their midst on Saturday last. The Particulars reached us last evening through a source entirely reliable. The details although not as fullas wesball doubtless be enabled to give at an carly day, are sutticient to cause a thrill of horror at their mere recital. It appears, according tothe version given us. that some years since, a grand-daughter of tae venerable and talented Vincent W iteher, Esq., of Pittsylvania county, married a yventieman rom the ce ee enty of Heary, whose name was Clemniens is christian name we have been unable to ascertain. The maiden name of Mr. W tcher's grand-daughter was Swith. The par- ties lived happily together until about eighteen months since, when, upon the most unfounded Suspicions, as we have been informed, Mr Clem mens desired a separation from his wife. and im- mediately instituted proceedings for a divorce, at the same time impeaching Tee honor as the grounds for bis course. Last Saturday was set apart for the tzking of depositions, and the parties met ata magisterial Precinct iu Henry county Mr. Witcher appeared ty defend the suit and Protect the honor of his grand-daughter.

We state this fact because other and incorrect versions of them are now be- ing extensively published by the press. By the way—the indignation of the Douglasite newspapers against the Democratic party of the Senate for daring to adopt resolutions upon the Territorial Slavery question is, to say the least of it, very amusing, in view of the fact that such action on the part of the Democratic party of the body (Senate) was forced by Mr. Brown’s méve- ment and that of Mr. Pugh in behalf of himself and Mr. Douglas. Mr. Brown introduced very ultra resolutions in the Senate, which would probably have fallen still-born with his vote and that of two or three others in their favor if Pressed toa vote. But Mr. Pugh took a position wit& reference to them in which it was well- known that Mr. Douglas coincided, that made it necessary that some common understandin; upon the subject should be arrived nt among the De- mocracy of the body, if possible. This understanding has been arrived at with unexpected unanimity. But four out of thirty- eight Senators hesitate to subscribe to it—Mesers. Brown and Clingman, who are said to hold that it does not go far enough; and Messrs. Pugh and Douglas, who eschew it because it is directly antagonistic to Mr. D.’s squatter sovereignty idiosyncracy. It was adopted in caucus simply as being necessary to Democratic Senatorial con- cord, without thought of action on the part of the Charleston Convention upon it. That it will, however, become the subject of controversy at Charleston, is now bighly probable. And that it will prove acceptable there, isto be inferred by persons of common sense, from the fact that out of thirty-eight Democratic Senators—the whole strength of the party ia the body—but four de- cline to sulsscribe to it. > Tux Batrimorg DELecates —Asan attempt is being made to create the impression that the ad herents of Mr. Douglas have carried the Baltimore city (4th) district for the Charleston Convention, we may properly state that the story is all gammon. The truth is as follows: ‘The convention met at the appointed time, when it was found that of the nine uncontested wards Mr. Douglas had carricd three, with six against him. The questions of the contested three wards came up; and after re- ferring them to the proper committee the conven- tion adjourned over until the next night. After that adjournment, the Douglas delegates from his three uncontested wards and the Douglasites claiming to represent the three contested wards, met, and undertook to elect Mr. Robert J. Brent and a Mr. Lanahan as delegates to the Charleston Convention. The regular convention met on the next evening as adjourned over, and having dis- posed of the contested wards question, duly elected Mr. Thomasand Mr. Gwinn. The Douglasites claiming to represent the three contested wards were rejected on the ground that their claim to seats in the convention was based wholly on the violence of notorious Knew Nothing clubs who interfered to carry those Democratic primary elec- tions. Such are among the means resorted to by the adherents of Mr. Douglas to give him the ap- pearance of ngth in the Charleston Conven- tion in advance of its meeting, when and where all such ‘Douglas demonstrations’ will pass at their true value only - HEALTH oF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.—We un- derstand that the condition of Judge Black's health continues about the same as It has been for the last few days. with aslight change for the better.

Correspondence of The Star. Ix THE SeNaTE, yesterday, Mr. Gwin, from the Committee on Finance, to which was referred the Dill from the House of Representatives malypg appropriations for the payment of invalid and other pensions of the United States for the yeer ending 30th June, 1961, reported it back without amendment, and asked its immediate considera- tion, which was agreed to; and the bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Seward proceeded with his remarks on bis bill for the immediate admission of Kansas, undet the Wyandotte Constitution. He said he would speak somewhat of the condition of the country, and incoming forward among political astrolo- ‘ers, it would be an error of judgment and not of dtpadtion if his interpretation of the feverish breeze by which the country was disturbed should jd to foment, rather than to allay, the national citement. He should say nothing unnecessarily of persons, because in this coun’ y the welfare and happiness of society depend chiefly on insti- tutions, and very little on men. He should dwell but briefly upon incidental topics, beeause they were in their nature ephemeral, and because he had always found that it was safe to snbmit the solid truth to the judgment of an enlightened and honest people. He proceeded to discuss the ques tion of slavery in the abstract and in practice, contrasting the condition of. the ca; ital States? of the South and the ‘labor States" of the Nort! allnded to the doctrine of popular Sovereignty a8 applied to the Territories; argued that if free 3) ch were allowed at the South as at the North ere would be a republican party in every South- ern State, and, therefore, that party was not liable to the evi dobalird of being sectional; denied that the republicans favored negro equality; lamented the misguided conduct of John Brown and bis followers, who had afforded another illustration that they who take the sword iis a means of effect- iug political changes or reforms are liable to perish by the sword. (n the conclusion of his remarks— Mr. Douglas replied to that ard’s speech which alluded to the action of the democratic nan in the passage of the Kanszs- Nebraska bill. He also attributed the new phrase of *‘capital States’ and ‘labor S-at-s,?’ which the Senator from New York had just Invented, to his desire to get on the side of the masses, in the struggles es capital and labor in New Eng- land, and secure the votes of the shoem«kers for the republican party. Mr. D. denounced the re- publicans with much bitterness as responsible for ail the agitation on the question of slavery, which has convulsed this country and brought the Union to the verge of dissolution. Mr. Davis animadverted on some of the remarks of Mr. Seward, wherein that Senator expressed reat devotion tothe Union. He regarded the Senator from New York as one of the most indus- trious sappers and miners of the Union, by tbe doctrines which he has promulgated year after year. The question being stated on the motion to refer the bill introduced by Mr. Seward to the Commit- tee on Territorice— Mr_ Brown moved to amend the motion by in- structing that committee to inquire whether, in the formation of said Constitution, the act of Con- yress approved May 4, 1458, entitled *+An act for the admission of Kansas into the Union,’ has been complied with in all respects, and especial- ly whether a census was taken of the population of Kansas before the election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention; and, if so, whether it appears from that census that the whole number of inhabitants was equal to the ratio of represen- tation required for a member of the House of Rep- resentati ves. Mr. Toombs replied to Mr. Douglas, and Mr. D. rejoined. The discussion was continued until after 6 o'clock, when, on motion by Mr. Brown, the subject was postponed until Friday, and the Sen- ate adjourned. Hovse.—The House having resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Washburne, of IL, in the chair.) re- sumed the consideration of the President's annual mearage. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, addressed the committee on the slavery question. He mentioned that neither Congress nor the Constitution can abolish slavery in the Territories, which are the common property of all the people of the Union. He was opposed to the reopening of the Airican slave trade, and condemned the sentiment ef disunion i itical demagogues. bio, next addressed the very question, and ‘a was right in pro- le conflict exists be- rtion of Mr. Sew- Mr. Grow, of Pa , discussed the land policy of the Government, and the propriety of ceasing for- ever the sales of public lauds, and dedicating them forever as free homes for freemen. He re- ferred to past legislation on the subject, and ho the bill introduced by bim in the e rt of this session would receive the early consideration of Congress. ‘The present system opened the publie lands to the wildest speculation and most injurious monopoly. He denied the right of Government to sefze upon and devote to its own par, an nnoceupied wilderness. By means of land grants and donations, as well as by direct sales, this Gov- erament was responsible for abstracting from the bands of free labor $1,283,000,000 for the right to till the soil. Government had just as much right to survey and sell in lots the free atmosphere, or any other of the free gifts of God to man. He de- fended his proposition against the charges of leveling and agrarianism, and contended that the homestead policy, to which the republican party were fully committed, would ultimately increase the revenues of Government, by increasing the amount of consumption of dutiable articles of comfort and luxury. If the land sales were to zo on, he was in favor of at least restricting the sales to actual settlers. Mr. Junkin, of Pa . spoke in favor of protection for American industry, and in condemnation of the free trade policy of the demo. r:tic p rty. ‘The committee then rose, and, at teu minutes past five o'clock, the House adjourned. ae Proceedings of 1e-Day. In THE Senate, to-day, Mr. Johnson. from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill to ex- tend the swamp-land act to the States of Minnesota and Oregon; passed. Mr. Wilson, from the Committee on Military Alaits, reported a bill for the establishment of a fort in the valley of Red River of the North; laid over. Mr Gwin moved to take up the West Point ap- propriation bill; so ordered, and tue bill was read F oved to amend, by providing for the payment of the proposed volunteer Texas-ron- tler reg ment. Mr. Hale ‘was opposed to the further increase of the Army, as involved in this amendment Mr. Wigfall contended that no increase of the army was co itemplated, but that the proposition was simply to provide fora resident volunteer force wuich could be mustered out of service whenever its services were no longer needed. Mr. Fessenden was opposed to the amendment without some cificial informution showing that the propesed appropriation ws necessary. Mr. Davis contended that official information as to how the present regular army was employed was already before the Senate {in oiticial docu- ments. He suggested that the Administration could not call out a volunteer force without an eta tion to that end, and as the Senate has ail the in- formation on the subject that the Administration had, he did not see why they should nct act : once Mr. Crittenden was speaking against the ainend- ment when our report closed.

The Speaker decided that as that resolution was not in possession of the House, objection having been made to its reception, the gentleman could not proceed unless by unanimous consent. Objection was inade. Mr. Adrian regarded this bbjection to his pro- ceeding as aakind aud unjust. The Speaker having celled for reports from Standing Committees, several unimportant bills were presented. Mr. Washburn, of Iil., introduced the follow- ing resolution : Resolved, That the Commit‘ees on Commerce, Elections, Foreign Relations,Territories, Military Affairs, Post Office and Post Ruads, Judiciary, lavalia Pensions, Naval Affairs, and Public Lands, be authorized to employ each a Cierk, at the com- Pensation of $4 a day while actually employed. co resolution was agreed to bya vote of 104 to 73.

Mr. Newman also published the following card : To the Public —I deem it due to say that I de- mounce the late charges that have made against me as false and slanderous, of the most malignant character. 1 shall demand an imme- diate investigation, and hold the originator to a strict accountability. assured the whole matter has been commenced for the purpose of destroyin; me, that scoundrels may be ted from c rascalities, and shall immed! jately start for Wash- ington city to anin ition. ly, Taz.

There seems to be an organized gang of burglars in our city, as robberies and attempts to rob are quite common in the neighborhood of Water street. No less than three warehouses were broken into last night, being the ship-chandlery of J.C. Jo 5 itecbonnan house of Mr. Stribling, and the flour and feed establishment of Messrs. Beall & Shoemaker. All were entered from the back doors, a ladder being used to get into Mr. Stribling’s. The object of the thieves seems to have been money, as nothing, else is missing. They had but little success, as they only obtained $20 from Mr. Johnson’s, $1 from Beall & Shoe- maker's, and about $6 in coppers from Mr. Strib- ling. There was an pases to force open the iron safe in the last-named gentleman’s counting room, which, fortunately for him, failed. No clue has yet been obtained to the robbers.
