He strongly urges the government to deprive the inhabitants of the Lombardo Venetian kingdom of their recently acquired freedom ot locomoticn, and at the game time orders a document to be inserted in the oflicial paper which can hardly fail to incroase their animosity ‘towards their foreign marter?, and may possibly incite ‘em to imitate the detestable examole of a man whom they will henceforth regard as « political martyr. Orsini, who bas been permitted to write to his fam'ly, fees been further allowed to receive a visit from his e's- ter, a respectable lady, who has been always adverse to ber brother's poiitics. Following the example of General Changarnier, General Bedean bas written a letter to the Belgian papers, stating ‘Sbat, as the decree which banished him has not been an- alled by a counter decree, he shal! not avail himself of ‘the permiszion published in the Moniteur to return to France.

To Tre Enrtor or Tax New York Henantp— Jarra, SvRiA, Feb. 17, 1858. Permit me to give to the columns of the Herat a brief detail of the horrible murder of my brother and fiendish outrages commutted upon his wife apd the family of Mr. Diekeon, formerly of Groton, Massachusetta. My brother and I emigrated from Prussis, our native country, in November, 1849, arriving in Jerusalem feb- ruary, 1850. He, being a practical farmer, engaged in agri- cultured operations near Jerusalem. In the spring of 1°52he removed to Jaffa and turned his attention more particularly to the raising of cattle, In the spring of 1853, on a visit to my brotber in Jaffa, | became acquainted with some Ameri- can residents there, and engaged with them in an agricul- tural mission for the benei of the poor Jews. In Decem. ber, 1853, Mr. Dickson and family arrived to engage inthe same bepevolent cause. In November, 1854, my brother married one of Mr. Dickson’s daughters, who, having pur- chased a farm about 1}; miles from the city, was livirg on very friendly terms with the Arabs, my brother and his family residing with them. In June of 1956,! also married a danghter of Mr. D., and we lived about half a mile from them on land purchased by Wm. Ballard, Eeq., of New York, and Dr. W. M. Englea, of Philadelphia, for the benefit of the poor Jews. We all lived peaceably with the natives and tried to sbow them the advantages of civilization over ignorance, Wo always tried todo them good by giving them medi. cines, and dressing sores and wounds for them. Though we were often annc yed, and several times robbed, yet we bever were suspicious or had a thought that our lives or persons were in danger. Bot on the night of Monday, January 11, 1858, persons came to the gate of Mr. D.’s yard, (in thie country every house outside of town ie currounded by « wall cight or ten feet high,) demanding wimittance, to look for a stray cow which they protested was in with my father’s and bro- ther’s herd, and said that a neighboring shepherd had told them. This was denied by Mr. D, and my brother, who also told them to go away, that the Coceul always bad told them never to open the gate at night to apyboty. After some words they left. In about halt an hour they returned, and strenuously declared they would be admitied, as the cow waathere. They were again re- fused, when they commenced using bard language, but finaliy said they would sleep outwide the gate until the morning and then were quict. Not miatrusting mischief my brother retired, but acter a little while, the dogs being very uneasy, Mr. D. took a ladder, set it aguicst the wall, aad going up softly looked over it, and saw five men there, He fired a gun into the air, loaded with powder oh y, to show thom that they were not destitute of dro- arms, After thie, all being quiet, Mr. D. also retired, but bardly got into bed when the begaa such a fu rious barking that ho got up again aad went out, when Le found that a gat was broken down, though nobody entered. He went back and told my brother, who got up, dresned , took & gun, and they weat out. My brother sa: tw Mr. 1, “Do not fire, father,” and Mr. D. gave him the gun. They advanced’ within’ three or four feet of the broken gate, when one from oulside fired obliquely and bit my brother in the lower part of the abdomen and groin with a heavy charge of buckehot. He fell exclaim. ing “A ball has bit me.” Mr. D., who stood behind him, took the gun and fired at randor, as he did not see anybody: My brother succeeded in crawling to the house, where reeking with blood he fell exhausted on the floor, exclaim- ing to his wife—Mary, I have got a ball.”” Ho grow ver fant, and vain endeavors were made to stop blood, which was flowing profusely from his wound. Mr. D. bad followed him immediately, and fastened the doors to the best of his ability. But is ina lequate to de- scribe the scone which followed. ln afow minutes the thieves followed and commenced an attack upon the door, which they soon succeeded in bursting open, and Gve rudiue entere’, armed with guns, swords and pistols. One immeciately, with a large club six or seven fest long, aimed s blow a Mr. D.’s with ail hur — le threw up his band to ward of the blow, but with a thril- Ling groan he fell senseless to the ‘oor. daughter oR her ¢: hueband and rafsed her father, while the biood gushed from the wounds u; his bead and hand.
