Death of Rev. J. J, Scow We noticed, last' week, very briefly,' the fatal assault made upon i Mr. Scott br Ben. Hickman. We find in th Cambridge City Newt, the following notice of it: j "On Thursday morning last, one of the most dar-; " ingact of brutality was perpetrated which Las ever com under oar immediate observation. and yet wthr i a myelery about it which will probably ; never unfold itself until the day of final retribution, j Some eighteen months ago the Rer. John J.'Scrtt j formerly of Hamilton Ohio, but lae'y of this city. with as we anderstood it a view of improving his health, purchased a small farm of a mia by the name of Benjamin Ilickmaa. situated about eight miles west of this place, to which he moved, and since which time he has engaged himseli during the week in tilling the ground, and with preaching on Sunday. Mr. Scott being a very exemplary man was much liked by his neighbors and congregation, and at the same time as he supposed there was no one, who was a better friend of his than Hickman. It appears that daring the the house of Mr. Scott and made himself quite -. .n e i i .1' : r laminar wun tne lamny, ana on ute morning 01 the fatal deed. called at-an unusual hour; finding Mr. S.,at hishog pen in the act cf feeding his hogs, I addressed him in his usual friendly mode of good 1 morning, at the same time pulled out a dagger ! and stabbed him in the intercostal region in a fatal manner. Mr. S. was then taken into his house j where he had medical aid, but expired in about; three hours. i Hickman lost no time after the above occurrence ' in hastening to a small stream, into which he throw himself and from which he was taken in a 1 few hours dead. What could hiYe prompted j him in this cowardly attack is as yet a mystery, J but it is supposed he was laboring under a pbanU.ru '. . produced by whiskey. j J J i - j ted, and his memory will bo long cherished as a good man, and an order loving citizen." j Out of Place. Our friend Johnson of the Eaton Register, is condemning, iu no very cour- J teous terms, tho conduct of the ladies of Mt. ' Pleasant and of Centreville, who destroyed the ' liquor in their respective towns. Such editorials, ! we think, are out of place, when they appear in ; the columns of so respectable a journal as the Register, is now, and has been for years. Self defence is recognired in all human Ftatutcs. When the statutes of the State, and the police j regulations are not sufficient to protect a citizen ! from an attack of tho assassin, he is justified, un- j der the law, to defend himself, even to (he takmrr I of the life of his assailant. In the face of that ! i imperative command of God, "thou shalt not' kilt,' the law says kill! But here is another case. The good order of society i attacked by the liquor seller the morality of community is des troyed the health of many citizens impaired their minds corrupted and vitiated their affec- ' tions seared and burned up the hand -of the son ' is raised against father and mother, and his arm is nerved to commit every act in the dark catalogue of crime. The law does not protect the oitisen from the perpetration of these crimes. It may punish after a trial and conviction; bur in case of an attempt to steal your property or injure your person, you do not have to wait for the slow and uncertain action of the law, but you take the punishment ia your own hands, and shoot down tho invader of your personal rights. Are you denounced for it as actuated by a mob spirit. On the contrary, generally applauded for your bravery. But if a woman, after her son or her husband has been brutalized, and she is daily in fear of her life, deems it an act of self defence to destroy the means which occasions this fear, she is denounced a mobocrat, and other terms of obliquy are heaped upon her. Consistency! what a jewel! Will Bro. Johnson inform s where the evidences of mobocracy arc to be found in the noble conduct of the ladies of Centreville? they went j peacefully to the liquor dealers, and purchased I their liquor. They paid for it far more than it j cost. It became their property, and they des-1 troyed it. Was it not their right to do so. There was no quarrelling no threats no denuncia- j tions. The simple request was made to quit the j traffic. But women done it to d it she stepped j out of her proper sphere; Oh! what a want of; delicacy was there, Mr. Johnson! We commend i to our worthy brother a bottle of Cologne! j CocjiT or Claims. Messrs. Gilchrist, of New j Hampshire, Lumpkin of Georgia, and Judge Blackford, of Indiana, have been appointed Judg- ; es of the Court of Claims, recently established by Congress, and the appointments confirmed by ' the Senate. This Court of Claims, says the State Journal, will be the most important judicial tribunal in the country, except the Supreme Court of the United otates. If we understand its duties correctlv. it is to decide on all cases of claims against the government. They are cases generally involv-; ing immense sums of money, and often hampered with doubt and difficulties of a life time of ne-' gleet and delay. The duties will be very oner-' out, and tae $4,000 per annum -salary will be well earned. j Defaultta Officer. -At the late session of the Legislature a law was ! enacted to prevent the defalcation of certain oiH-' cersy and provide penalties therefor It provides that any Sheriff, Clerk of the.

- The w Pot Office Bill. We find in the Globe a synopsis of this bill.; Everything is to be prepaid after July, and the, postage to California is to be ten cents instead of six. The "bill provides that, instead of the ra;es ; now established by law, there shall, after the ! commencement of the next quarter, be charged; lor every single letter ia manuscript or paper cfV any kind in which information shall be asked for , or communicated in writing, or by marks or signs, conveyed in the mail for any distance between ; places in the United States not exceeding three ' thousand miles, three cents; and forany dUtance : exceeding three thousand miles, ten eet,ts. For t a double letter the charge is to be double, for a trible letter, trb!e price and for a quadruple letter, ! quadruple these rates. ' f Every letter or parcel not exceedirg half an' ounce in weight is to be deemed a single letter, ! and every additional weight of half au ounce or less than half ounce, is to be charged with an i additional single postage. Upon all letters passing throuffh or in the mail of the United States, except f uch as are to or from a foreign country, the pos- j tage is to be prepaid except upon letters and packages addressed to officers of the Government , on official business, which shall be so marked on ; the onvelope. And from aad after January 1, 1855, the I Fostmasfer General may requiro postmasters to ' p!ac postage stamps on all prepaid letters upon j which such stamps may not have been placed by the writers. All drop-letters, or letters placed in j any post office not for transmission through the j mail, but for delivery only, are to be charged with ( postage at the rate of one cent each, "and all letters . which are hereafter advertised as remaining over, ; or uncalled for, in any post office, are to be) charged with one cent each, in addition to the 1 refiTilar postages now are. j No postmaster or other person is to be allowed to sell any postage stamp or stamp enve'opes tor any larger sum than that charged therefor by the i'ost Otrke Department; and any person who ( violates this provision is to be deemed guilty of; a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, is to bo lined in aDy sum not less than ten, nor more than f re , hundred dollars. The following amendments were madt? to it, : and accepted: j Provided, That nothing herein contained f-Lall ; be so constructed as to alter the laws in relation j to the franking privilege. ' Andf it father enacted, That for the greater security of valuable letters posted for transmission ir the mails of the United States, tho rostmnster General be, and hereby is authorized to establixh ' a uniform plan for the registration of such letters ' on application of parties posting the same, to re -' quire the prepayment of the postage as well as the : receiving the same in such a manner as the1 Postmaster General shall direct: Providtd, how-' ever. That such registration shall not be com- j pulsory, and it shall not render the Pest Office j Department, or its revenue, liable for the loss ' of 6uch letters or packets, or tho contents there- j of. Doings of the Legislature. We are indbt-1 ed to our friend Solon Turman, Secretary of the Senate, for a list of the acts passed and approved ! at the late session of the Legislature; but as the ' titles to the respective bills convey but the slightest idfca of their provisions, we have concluded not to publish the list. Mr. Turman says 44 ; bills nd 5 joint resolutions of the Senate have : passed the House; 70 bills and 3 joint resolutions ' of the House passed the Senate, all of which re- j ceived the approval of the Governor. Eighty-1 sue bills of the Senate failed to pass the House. ; and 18 bills of the House failed to pass the Sn- ' ate. TAtKI3 RlOIIT OUT IS Meeting. The St. Louis Intelligencer speaks out very plainly ia relation to certaiu men in high places. In noticing ; the visit of Sam. Houston to Boston, he says: 'What singular notions our Lr. S. Senators have ; now-a-days. Pettit has been spending the winter at Iudianapulis to keep the Old Liners in power ' there. Dixon has been staying at home, at Ilea- i der son, Ky., attending to a new wife. Atchison has been pipe-laying and wire-pulling in Kansas : and Missouri; and Houston is gadding around ; with an Indian blanket over his shoulders, thir.kinghimself wonderfully popular and in the straight road to the Presidency, because his name is "Sain." In tho meantime the Abolitionists are taking Congress, and Douglas and Bailor, (ol S. C.) are getting drunk and blackgu&rding them."

rus'itive Slave Law in Ohio. Great excitement was created among the color-; ed people of Columbus, Ohio, on Monday last, by ' the announcement that a slave girl had been ta-, ken from the persons with whom she was travel-' ling, by a writ ot habeas corpus. The Ohio State Journal gives the following statement of the facts of the case, and result: The name of the slave girl is Rosetfa Armstead. She originally belonged to John Tyler. tx-Pros-ident o the V. S. Mr. Tyler gave her to his daughter, the wife of Rev. Dr. Deanison, an Episcopalian clergyman, living in Louisville, Ky. , A short time since, Mr. Dennison died in Louis-! ville, leaving a young babe; and Mr. Dennison ; requested a relative of the family. Dr. Miller, 1 then on a visit to Kentucky, and who was about to return to Virginia, to take charge of the girl Rosetta. whom he intended as a nurse for his lit-; tie "itl. ' The Doctor accordingly started with the girl in his charge; but the state of the Ohio river made it necessary for him to take the railroad. He reached here on Saturday night, and as the cars did not leave on Sunday, he was compelled to lie ' over. The news soon spread through our city ; that a slave was in our midst, and the Rev. Wm. ' B. Ferguson, a colored Baptist minister, made' complaint before the Judge of Probate, and the ! Sheriff was dispatched a; 12 o'clock on Saturday: night, to take charge cf the girL Mr. Galloway. Mr. Carrington and Mr. Taylor were employed as ! counsel for the girl, and Mr. Heath Ware in be- ! half of the ewcer. j Dr. Miller stated to the Court his agency ia the i case, and asked as a favor that the case might lie oyer until the 1 4th inst. at which time Dr. Dn- ; nison could reach here, and he could take Mich measures as he might deem advisable. j But. the girl declaring that she desired to re- i main in freedom, in Ohio, and the legal question as to her rights being conceded, she was. as a ; minor, permitted to choose a guardian- L. G. j Van Slyke. of this city, was selected, who gave j bonds, and took charge of her person, to await ; the trial. If she shall hereafter wish to return tw i her friends in Virginia, there will probably be tc obstacle thrown in the war. . i XiTMake- few premises, and live up to roar' engagement. . s .. . -1
