' Peath of Mr. Buchard Milleb. -We re-
pret to learn by the Telegraph to-day that Mr.
Buchard Miller an old citizen of Houston has
died after a sickness of near two weeks. Mr.
Miller is well known as the partner of Col.
Henry Fisher in the settlement of what is
known aa Fi&herand Miller's Colony in which
they have been contending with many dilli-
colties for years past. . "
Mr. Miller's sickness seems to have been
caused by exposure to the hot sun while can-
vassing the county previous to the. late elec-
tion ; and the Telegraph (ays the physicians
of Houston are divided in opinion as to wheth-
er th)j was a case of yellow fever." Mr. M.
had resided in Houston for about twenty years
and during all the yellow fever epidemics but
had never taken this disease We understand
that some of the oldest physicians pronounce
his a case of yellow fever if thi is the case

exposur to the disease is no protection with-
out having it It also prove that it must

Trinity Bay Aug 13. During nearly a
week since the landing of the Atlantic Cable
at Valentia Bav.Dr. Whitehouse the English
inventor and the chief electrician of the com-
pany has been experimenting upon his inven-
tions and testing his telegraphic registers.
Thus far his recording instrument which
was designed expressly lor the Atlantic Cable
and has been his study for two years does
not work through the Atlantic Cable. .
Dr. Whitehouse declined giving any infor
uiuuuii renpecung Ills operations onu cajici
ments on the other tide of the Atlantic.
Professors Hughes invention a printing
instrument which surpassed all others in the
experiments made with the Cable last spring
will undoubtly prove effective when it is prop-
erly graduated and a fair trial allowed It.

Tragical.
On Thursday the 12th inst. a young man
bv the name of James A. Strot: er late of
Abinirdoni Virginia while in tl fit of timpora-
fy derangement supposed to be delirium tre
mens tired upon with n uoll repeater onu
savcrely wounded one Willi m Beaty n res-
pected citizen ol this county and shortly af-
terward:! Committed suicide by shooting him-
self throilgh the head.
It is Imped that Mr. Bealy will recover.
The ball struck him in the breast just below
the vhoulder. while in a stooping position and j
passing tbrotlgli the upper portion of the left 1

miles
east of this place.
We have earned the followinfr particulars.
Strother was on his way to Puris; had stop-
ped a few days at Dalby's Springs in Bowie
county nnd on- the morning of the day in
question had started for Clarksville. Arriv-
ing at the residence of Col. Peters about 10
o'clock in the forenoon he stopped for dinner
nnd to have his horse led. Col. Peters was
sick in bed nnd had been unwell for several
weeks. We do not learn that any symptoms
of insanity manifested. themselves until to-
wards evening. Sometime in the evening
however Sifother who had been previously
invited into Col. Peter's room nnd hnd convers
ed with him freely in regard to his place of
residence destlnntioiii &c approached Ins
bedside apparently in a state of great excite
ment and telling him that he had $230 in his
pocket which he wished him to Keepi and a
fine cold Wrttch which lie desired his little
daughter to bave he requested the Col. to
shoot him saying that he would be killed that
nisrht anyhow nnd preferred that he (refers;
should shoot him. The Col. endeavored to
pacify him ; told him he did not want his
money and assured him he should not be hurt
while in his bouse.. Strothc-r repeated what
he had aid. urcincr Peters to shoot him
and finally proposed a Walk saying he had
something important to communicate. Pe
ters replied that he wa too unwell to wain ;
Strother then left him and walking out into
the gallery fired off one charge- of his pistol.
Peters becoming alarmed sent word . to his
overseer Mr. Wm. Beaty who was at work
In a field near by to come to the house and
bring a couple e-f the "boys" (negroes) with
him os he feared Strother was deranged and
might do some mischi f. Beaty at once
mounted a horse and repaired to the house.
On ridim? into the yard he was met by Stroth
er who was wildly brandishing a pistol about
his head and threatening to shoot himseii.. -Beaty
who had seen him at dinner asked him
what was the matter; tneu to pacify him nnd
told him to out up bis pistol btrother be
came (he more furious and swore that he
would kill himself but that he intended lo kill
him (Beaty) first and suiting the action to the
word he leveled his pistol and fired just as
Beaty was in the act of springing from the
saddle to avoid the shot. Beaty ran into the
house exclaiming that he was killed and

out from a clump of bushes near the road-
side in which he had secreted himself and fa-
cing Potee fired at him the negro then re-
turned the shot. Both shots were without ef-
fect. Strojher continued his flight and the
negro returned to the house. About dusk . a
pistol shot was heard in the direction tajfen
by Strother. During the night some ofthe
neighbors were collected and early nexttnor-
nirrg diligent search was made nnd by means
of dogs Strother was" tratleti)pVound at
a considerable distance from the ftMrie dead ;
his pistol which waa a fivesbooteri with one
remaining chartre. was lying beside him. One
charge he had fired into the air from the gal-
levy; one at Beaty J one at in negro ana tne
fourth at himself.
When too hear a man complaining thnt his
-newspaper is "horribly stupid and uU edited
as it ought to te. it a eignten.rrCT
he m consideraiMy jn i- . f' i
I vtt4 lor Judge Buckley but I would
8'ffa 1 Petition to bim to Rsiign if elected."
. Tl4s It a common sentiment In the mouths
of the organixer. We at first thought ii on-
ly one of those desperate piece of braggado-
cio used by some of their oiatnrt that they
would support him even "if convicted of ne-
?ro stealing." But we have heard the remark
roin Mime ronecinntiout men whom we have
always recognised a scrupulous democrats
and leader of the party who are enjoying the
rewards ui otiice. And when we have inquir
ed lhr meaning of so strange sentiment
they lull us that they believed ibe worst ol
(he charge made again! the Judicial nomj
nee or at any rate ihe wanner of meeting
mem was so onieciiouitbir thai he could never
have the corilJcnce of the country of tlm
tar of aultdrs and of his brother Judges.
And therefore the 'hior of the democratic
pnrty rcquiieA .that he Buckley should resign
if elected. When asked "why did yoil vote
for him entertaining these convictions" thtv
answer "Oh! every legal democrat was boutid
in honor bv the nomination ! strange logic
(his. It is worse than Know Nothingism.
We remember that on the Saturday before
the August election in 1S65 we addressed
the people of Bastrop) county ngainst Know
iNollnngism. And as Judge Hancock the
American candidate for Congress and orator
Povk were lo reply to us nearly all the vo
ters tif the country attended. We read the
ritual and the "obligations" terrible oaths
they were lod nnd ihese trenllcmcn agreed
that they were genuine! We reasoned witli
tho people to convince t'le'in thai the constitu-
tional right of choice at ihe polls rose above
all such party contrivances and thnt every
voter had the tltrht to vote for whom He pleas-
ed regardless of nny siich oath subscribed by
a dark lantern. Judge. Hancock who is a lib-
eral man reared in a democratic school ad-
milted ihe view and only argued to prove the
soundness of Ihe vic'H-sof Ihe new party.
We were afterwards much gratihed when
n member of the secret order told a relative of
ours that he had voted the full democratic
ticket (we had a "democratic ticket ' Hint
year without any nominations;) (hot he had
reasoned with other members ol the order at
Bound Rock nnd told them how Paschal had
convinced him that he was not morally bound
by (he oath but that he could not convince
them and so they voted agninst Bell and Du
val with very much grief.
And who can toriret that the order in this
city as late as the Saturday night belnrc the
election relcaced their members from the sup
posed obligations so far as Bell was concern
ed ?
Tho enlightened men of the American or-
iter were freenirn compared with the rnre
ni ff of the orcanizurs who through tho
Austin oligarchy enact the reign of lerrof In
the liame of the democracy. The first allow-
ed their men lo vote lor political o"onents.
C'.'.l !n n'e judicial' canvass there were
two democrats candidates for an office not po-
litical. One was a native of the soil reared
in the principles of liberty nnd indoctrinated
with the purest democrncy-tieeiloiii ot thougri

officer when elected could do no political thing.
Of choice nil good inert desired tc vote for the
sober man whnse escutcheon was above re-
proach. They did not wish to establish n bttd
moral preccdeiit lor then' children llut here
were leaders mostly rcnegrndes of Sam teach-
ing the people that a failure to support the
ticket was "high treason to the party and to
the country ;" and that the teacher to the con-
trary was A "Judas Iscafiot" and what in
their cJllmation was worse "a Benedict Ar
nold" Good men nnd honest men were thus
frightened into voting against their consciences
with the mental reservation that they would
petition Judge Buckley to resign !
Such a proposition of the ends aims and
objects of the organization of party is enough
to make honest people despise the very name
of political associations. Such infamous sen-
timents are not democratic. They are the
teachings of the bandit for spoils lucre nnd
every evil. Democracy requires no man to
violate his conscientious notions of moral du-
ty. No principle of democracy is inconsis-
tent With the purest religion and mornliy.
Organization in the hands of sucbtenchers is
like the Goddess of Reason in the hands
of Robespiere's Directory. - Democracy
allows freedom of thought an. of ac-
tion ; and all rituals oaths caucuseji'and
conventions ivhich attempt to get above our
oaths to support the constitution in the moral
sense of KH oath are the Devil's contrivances
to overthrow liberty itself. Let us hear no
more of such despot:; sentiments. Aus. Gaz.
The Massacre at Jeddah. The London
papers publish the following despatch from Consul-General
Greene at Alexandria received at
the Foreign Office wa Malta giving an occount
of the massacre at Jeddah of which we had a
brief notice by telegraph I
Her Majesty's ship Cyclops arrived at Sues
from Jeddah on the 3d inst.
On the loth of June the Mohammedan in-
habitants of Jeddah roso and massncreed the
Christians. Among the victims were Mr.
Page the English Vice-Consul ; M. Eveillard
the French Consul and bis wife and about
twenty others. The English and French Con
sulates were plundered. The Cyclops was an-
chored about two miles from ihe town nnd du
ring the night some Greeks Swarn off to (lie
vessel. The next morninsj two boats Kent to
Ihe town were attacled and obliged to fire on
those who endeavored to cut off their retreat.
On the 19th the governor-General of the
Hedjas who was at Mecca arrived with S00.
The Cyclops left Jeddah on the 24'h and
brings up the Christians who escaped including
the daughter ol the French Consul and the
french interpreter both badly wounded and
Iwenty-four others.

represented by Capt. Randall fonaerly the
well known commander of the opposition line'
of steamers on the Pacific side several years'

with to go round to the racihe to run in con-
nection iviih .a line of s'.eamerspn the Nicara-

arc pretty nearly comp'eted by Mr. J. L. Whirr-'
for steamers to run on thia sidi from ''New
York to GreytcAyri. A steamer of light draft
fdr the .conveyance of passengers across - the
Lalte (Nicaragua) is also in readiness; which!
will be sent up the San Juan river between tho
mitldle nnd last bf August; aLwhicIl time (lie
river will be sufficiently high to admit of her
pnssaVc into the lake without difficulty. . The
Washington will peobably depart for her voy-
age around Cape Horn in ten days: and in!
forty-five days thereafter the first of the pas
senger steamers for Greytown will leave New.

route. If nothing occurs to interfere with ar-
rangements now far advanced it is contem-
plated to have the new line in full operation
by the 1st of October. It is understood (ha'
great dependence is placed upon the large in-
crease in travel occasioned by the Frazer river
discoveries for the support of the contemplated"
line.

'P. S. 1 art sorry to inform- you that a par-

was coming to the post to report to the Com
manding officer firing upon him with arrows
and guns killing the horse Cbemutes was ri
ding. Me states that there were about lb or
I? of them all well mounted and armed.
When he first saw them they asked him if
he was an American but on bia replying (hat
he was a Chickasaw they immediately made
an attack upon mm out ne maoe nis escape
and came into this post. The commanding
officer has sent a parly of soldiers under the
command of Lieut. Oppler.' They look with
them Black Beater the Post interpreter and a
party of citizens but as the soldiers arc 011

any chance to get sight at the Comanche.
This is the aecond thing of the kind thnt has
