Murder Trial. The negro man who mur THE SUN. MARRIED, At Frederick, on the 17lh Thomas Haller (printer,) of Baltimore, to Miss Lydiu Ann Shearer, Frederick. Also, on the 13th Alonzo M. Rams dell, of New Miss Margaret Ann Walker, of Frederick.

A Shocking Peed The Norfolk Herald, of Wednesday, relates a shocking occurrence which took jilawe in that borough on the day previous. A man (or rather a monster) by the name of Flannelly, who, in a state of excitement pro hoarded malice, would be driven from the field; and few would be willing to incur the expense of publishing their political compositions, except the patriotic, the ambitious or the interested. The patriotic would cheeffully bear the expense, for the sake of their country; and the other two classes for their own sakes; and dered Mrs. Hall, at Hempstead, Long Island, in April last, has been tried, and the jury could not agree. The plea of religious monomania was set up, and it seems was partially success' ful in saving his neck.

Another. A few days since, a young man named Aaron Clear, in descending from a car laden with wood, on the Delaware and Atlantic Railroad, fell across the track while the car was under way, and was almost instantly crushed to death Sprinufield Muskets. We see it stated in some of our exchange papers, that ninety-six thousand muskets have been manufactured at the Springfield (Mass.) Armory, within the last four years. They are all in store there, ready for use in case of necessity. Accident from Fire Arms.

On Tuesday last as two men, George Davids and a Mr. Gra- ham, were amusing themselves in firing at a mark in New York, the gun burst, instantly killing Mr. Davids, and badly wounding Mr. Graham, Railroad Accident. On Tuesday morning, a train of cars from Syracuse, N.

was thrown offthe track near Oneida Creek. The cars were dashed to pieees, and two passengers, one named Gil more, had their legs broken. From Rio Grande. Capt. Hale, of the brig Boxer, at this port yesterday from Rio Grande, states, that on the nisht of the 15th July, the town of San Jose de Norte was at tacked by a party of Republicans, under the command of Bcnto Goozalves, chief of the Republican partv, with a force of 1,400.

After they had succeeded in getting into the town, they were repulsed, though not until altera hard fought battle of eight hours, during a terrible storm of wind and rain. The number of dead and wounded on both sides amounted to seven hundred men, and the town suffered great injury from the cannonading. This unexpected attack on the town caused the inhabitants to entertain serious apprehensions for their safety, and had the effect of paralyzing what little business was previously doing. At the last dates from Buenos Ayres which reached Rio Grande, there was no prospect of a suspension of the blockade, every thing remaining the same as at the date of our previous accounts The Boxer sailed from Rio Grande about the 2d of August Patriot. Ectekpean Vocalists Ii will be seen by an ad.

vpriiseincm in another column, that the Manageress or the I'altiuiore Museum lias engaged these distinguished Vocalists for a few nights longer. Their performances last week were highly grati ying, and duly appreciated by 1 rge ami fashionable auilienr.es. The Quartettes, To Greece we give Our Shining Blades, and Near the Lake, were rapturously encored, and produced an enthusiasm among the audience, such as we have seldom seen. We woul I therefore say to all those who have not heard them lose not the opportunity, if you wish to hear glee singing in its greatest perfection. Common Sense.

one is so foolish a to suppose for a momnl that we can live without eatine, any more than, a tree could derive nutriment from the" air alone, without toe soil. Chameleons may live on air, though it is well known that such air is full of living insects. All, thertrlore, know that it is what we put into the stomach which causes us to live. We make ovjr our bodies iroin the stomach In from three five years we make over our bodies entirely. Thus, what is part of us to-ilay is absolutely not a part of us to-morrow.

The secretions, such as perspiration and other evacuations, continually make our rjodies waste, ajiil it is fretn the stomach thai we supply this tstc; all we have to do to make our bo ultimately healthy, is to prevent unhealthy pmiclcs from mixing with the blood. Purgation does this for us, provided the purgative vre employ ontaius in it nothing which will weaken or do us injury. a dreth's Vegetable Universal Pills, for this purpose, will Ije found a 1 that is required: because they purge from the stomach and bowels the superabundance of humors that may haveacrumuhved in the system, hetore they have ti ne to produce putrefaction, anil its natural csusequences death.

SPIES, Bullet Master, j-The Daily Circulation op the Son is more than ft times greater than that of any other daily paper of Baltimore consequently the rates ef advertising in the Sun are only about one quarter as high, in proportion to circulation, as in any other daily paper in the city. Newspapers for the People.

The newspapers of this country, both neutral and partisan, are in the habit of claiming for our people, a far higher degree of general intelligence, than has yet been attained by those of any other country on earth. This claim is, we think, justly made; we have more than once had occasion to make it; but at the same time we have not been, nor do we yet intend to be, so extravagantly emphatic in the assertion and support of it, as to lead the people to fancy, that they have attained the very highest pinnacle of human improvement, and that in consequence they ought to cease to seek a higher point of excellence. Merited praise is not flattery, that which is undeserved is; and as it respects the intelligence of the people, the former is a salutary stimulant, exciting them to farther action; the latter an opiate, raising false ideas of excellence, and calculated, by repeated doses, to lay its subjects asleep in the lap of a dangerous contentment, satisfied with present attainment. Intellectual excellence is to be purchased only by strenuous and unceasing effort; and surely when a nation comes to believe itself at the summit in this respect, it is in danger of lapsing into a retrograde motion, for in this track there' is no sta-tionary point Our purpose, however, is not now to discuss this subject at length, nor to enumerate all the particular respects in which an advance in the way of improvement is necessary, the necessity being in fact general. Our purpose is more especially to shew, in as brief a space as possible, what a newspaper ought to be in this country, consistently with the character claimed for the people by the press.

Are the newspapers what they ought to be? Let us take a county anywhere in the interior of the country, and suppose a paper just established in it. Does this consider itself a vehicle of information to the whole people of the county, or to only a particular party? The latter is universally the case. It advocates one set of doctrines, and throws itself exclusively on the party holding them for support; and it publishes no facts, however well vouched, nor any opinions, however correct, that militate against the interests of that party, or, as is almost always the case, the clique of political aspirants, whose instrument the editor is who have made, and can unmake him. It is not then a journal for the whole people of the county. All may read it, it is true; but all may not use it for the dissemination of intelligence, the exposition of doctrines, or the inculcation of opinions.

Cfne party is thus excluded from the use of its columns; and the result is the establishing of another, in op position to the existent one. The editors then consider themselves pitted against each other, like fighting cocks or gladiators, and instead of seeking to elicit truth, the contest is, as to which shall gain the advantage. Then comes mis-state ment, mystification, evasion, indirection, falsifi cation and sophistry appeals to pre- judices, the senses to any and every thing, save and except always the judgment, the reason, the intelligence of the people, for which, at the same time, such a vast amount of credit is given them, as if in that respect they were the very personification of perfection. The people are set in array against each other, and converted into enemies seeking, as it were, each others' destruction, rather than as friends engaged in a search after truth and correct principles, to guide their actionjin their capacity as sovereigns. The respective journals bedaub them with fulsome laudations on their intelligence, while they treat them as ignoramuses.

Neither press will let its supporters see more than one side of any political question, lest conviction should be adverse to its own interest; and while both express "the utmost confidence in the honesty and intelligence of the people," they at the same time treat them as knaves and fools. This picture, by no means overcharged, and but poorly sketched, has hundreds of originals, not alone in the country, for our large cities throughout the Union are full of them. The general features are the same in town and country; the journals of the latter being for the most part transcripts of those issued in the former, and the editors in the one case being the copyists of those in the other, with some rare and very honorable exceptions. Such papers may be very popular, but we apprehend it would be difficult to prove them to be newspapers for the people, admitting the people to be intelligent. No newspaper can be properly considered as fit for an intelligent people, that fears to trust them with both sides of any question.

Such a one prove by its partial conduct, the insincerity of its praise, and the mockery of the incense which lays on the popular altar. A newspaper for the people must be independent, fearless, and free from the shackles and obligations of party, owing allegiance to truth alone, and devoted to hs exposition. Take an interior county, as above, and give it such a paper, (we would not limit the number, but there is not, we believe, a county of any State in the Union, but could support one such,) let it be equally the organ of both parties, but bound specially to neither. BeniK well supported, It could command the semct'S of the best talents, for the exposition of political truths; and being dependent on no clique or party, it would have no motive for any specks of dishonesty. If individual for office should desire to use its co-lumns fur their own advancement, or if cliquts, parties, or fragments of parties should seek a like privilege, let it be open to all alike, and let all be compelled equally to pay for the service.

Two very important advantages would thus he gained to the people; first in order, though not in importance, they would be treated to alar smaller quantity of electioneering trash than tiny now receive, leaving space in the pa per for other useful rending; and secondly, the facts, arguments, opinions and doctrines of both sides, would be laid before the same set of readers.

Mrs. Flannelly, in order to avoid the brutal usage of her husband, had sought employment in a family, as a servant, and was so occupied when the wretch made the attack on her. In the horrible situation she was, she walked up stairs to the mistress of the family, who had not then risen from her bed, holding the protruding entrails with her hands. A surgeon was immediately called in who pronounced the wound mortal; though the ill-fated woman may probably linger to conclude a life of hardship, in all the agony of corporal suffering. Flannelly is in jail to answer for his most revolting and unnatural crime.

A Man Robbing Himself. A fellow named George Ililyer, a clerk in the employ of a large house in New York, the other day returned to his employers and reported that he had been knocked down and robbed of a sum of money which he was carrying to a bank to deposite. He brought a negro woman to testify to the fact of the robbery. When the police became ac quainted with the fact, the idea struck them some how or other, that Ililyer was himself the robber, and that the supposed highwayman was his accomplice. They therefore arrested him, and he confessed that such was the fact, and disclosed the name of his accomplice, William Hawks.

The money was recovered, and the delinquents both committed to prison to await a trial. A Swartwocter taken. Proler, the blacking maker, who recently absconded from New York, and who not only swindled the merchants of New York out of about $100,000, but wrote back insulting letters, taunting them with their simplicity in letting him do so, the New York Sun says, has been arrested in Holland, and made to "deliver up the deposites." A strap ping New Yorker pursued the runaway in one of the steam packets, got to Holland before him, and actually made a prisoner of him on board the ship in which he had left America. Slavers Taken. Capt.

Hickling, of the brig Audubon, arrived at Boston on Wednesday, from west coast of Africa, states he was boarded on the coast, July 20, by British gun brig Lynx, which reported that he had captured two days previous American brig Plant, from Havana, with 900 doubloons, and a full cargo. The schr Octavia, White, of New Orleans, had also been taken and sent into Sierra Leone. The Plant was formerly of Portland, but has been owned in Havana for some time. Casualties. The Snow Hill (Md.) Banner states that Edward Dickerson, residing near that place, cut his foot with an axe, a short time since, and bled to death before any assistance could be rendered to him.

The same paper states that a Mr. Powel was drowned near that place, while attempting to board the sloop Canton, upon which he wished to take passage for Baltimore. Matamoras. The Eliza Ann arrived at New Orleans on the 10th inst. in nine days from Matamoras.

There had been no later advices from Mexico. All was quiet in Matamoras, except the bustle and excitement consequent upon the presence of 4 to 6,000 Central troops. There was no fear of an attack from the Federalists; on the other hand, an invasion of Texas was openly talked of. Caucht in the Act. A thing that called itself Sophia Mitchell, was arrested in New Orleans on the 9th by the police.

An examination disclosed that it was a maledisguised in female apparel. It seems that sometime since it obtained a situation as chambermaid on a Havre packet, from New Orleans, and in that capacity waited on the lady passengers. Incicests in New York.

Political Row. A political meeting was held at Marietta, Ohio, on the 11th instant, at which a row took place several persons were seriously injured, and one is said to have been killed. Duow'NED.

John Smith, a seaman on board the sloop Martha and Sarah, of Wilmington, fi ll overboard on Tuesday, the 8th during a heavy blow, and was drowned. Another Candihate. A portion of the whig party in the city of Philadelphia, opposed to the election of Mayor Sw ift, have nominated Henry Troth, as a candidate. as all three exist in both parties, the people, hearing the pleadings on either side, through the same medium, would feel themselves to be, like christians, seeking truth in the same vo lume; and though differing iu opinion on some travelling in fraternal union towards the same goal. Such a paper would be in reality one for the people; and such in character, we believe, will be the papers of this country be fore many years shall have passed away.
