DIABOLICAL AND ACT SIXTV THRSOXS POISON F.D. The N. O. of the 11th inst. says that a riend of their's has received a letter from his brother, who resides in the parish of Sabine.

It is dated on the 2d and besides some reference to matters of private business, contains the following startling extract There has been one of the most unexampled acts of poisoning committed in Shelby county, Texas, that I have ever heard of. There was a wedding at old Mr. Wilkinson's of an orphan giil he raised, at which all the invited guests were poisoned, including the bride's-maid and groom's man. Out of sixty persons poisoned, thirty, Dr. Sharp says, will certainly die.

Ten or twelve are already dead, including two sons of preacher Dritton, two Castleberry's the one a young man, and the other a young woman one of the Slaughters and his wife. Strange to tell, none of the family was injured, nor yet the bride and groom yet one of the bride's-maids died in the house. Old Wilkinson has absconded. This portion of Texas is in arms, and wo betide the guilty. What I write you is the fact, without exaggeration.

It is supposed that the negrons Avere hired to administer the poison in the coffee, or food, by a disappointed suitor, ho was present at the wedding." Daniel Wkhs ter in Character. We have perused Mr. Webster's speech delivered on the occasion of his dining with the Charleston Bar. The subject-matter of that deliverance, was the LAW. And the discourse of so profound a man on a subject where he is so completely at home, is full of interest.

In contrasting, however, many fine things spoken of law and lawyers, on that occasion with the practice and practices of both, as commonly experienced by the unprofessional, we can hardly decide whether Mr. Webster is In earnest or in irony. Sure we are, that some of his legal auditors must have unilrd, (if they did not Initgli) in their sleeve." This, however, is not a fair criterion whereby to judge the Ltne, nor eminent lawyers." We could not form a just notion of true Religion nor of eminently good men by forming our estimate of their merits according to much that we see in practice among ministers'and professors." As reading most impressive lessons of humanity, wisdom and virtue, we admire the following passages of Mr. Webster's speech and we earnestly commend the perusal of them, to those lawyers in our midst, whose unfaithful practice assures us that either they have never attained to a just and lofty apprehension of the great ends of law, or have lost sight of them in the dark and crooked pursuits of selfishness. If there constantly passes a private and public judgment on the duties and the doings of the clergy, like judgments are constantly rendered i an.

It is undergoing the same improvement in this country that it has done in Hritaiu. 1 he revenue is auiiually increas-ing, and we have no doubt at no vei distant day the p.ist Hire will suppnit itself, without diiuving upon the general treasury for any sup- I port.

This distinguished native actor is now performing an engagement at the llowery Theatre, here he is winning golden opinions from all the lovers of genuine acting. It is difficult to speak of his pel formances in language which does not seem extravagant to those hose blood has not been stirred by his iu.iterly impersonations.

He is the fust Aiu-eiican ho, having achieved great success as a Tiasiedian, hasuiatched that success in the higher Comedy. The same actor whose passion thrills us in Macbeth nnd Othello, moves our miith with equal potency in benedick, Rover ami Dick Dashall. This is a species of distinction to which Mr. Forrest has never attained, and which, indeed, has rarely been enjoy- ed ill an eminent degree by any actor since Car-rich trod the stage. In Mr.

Murdock, his distinction is not the result of either nature or art alone, but of a happy concurrence of both. He trained himself for the highest achievements as an actor, as though nature had been niggard of her gifts; and nature endowed him as though she had intended he should be indebted to her alone for his success. He has cultivated a line person, till every movement reveals a grace and a voice of line natural qualities has been improved to the very highest state of elocutionary perfection. We never see him gesticulate, or move across the stage, but his flexible anil graceful figure recals tons Hamlet's description of nature's paragon.

ncharlereil lilicrtine still. Ami the mute Homier lurlieih hi man's His voice is one of great compass, of exquisite tone and almost infinite variety, and modulated to express the minutest shades of feeling. In richness, sweetness and variety, we have never heard its equal. When Mr. Murdock re-appeared on the stage about a year ago, we predicted for him a success which has since been more than realized and yet, if we have not grately mistaken his capabilities, he is only on the threshold of his brilliant dramatic career.

Mr. Murdock has not only reinforced the stage, but has allied himself to the Drama itself. He wishes the Traditions and History of his own country, to take shape, and find expression in the dramatic literature of the country, with all the aids to bejderived from scenic illustration and the actor's art. His taste, his generosity of character, his surprising ability to represent, will elicit whatever genius for dramatic composition the country may possess. On Monday next, Mr.

Murdock is to produce the new play of Witchcraft," which had such extraordinary success at the West. As we have had no opportunity to see the new tragedy, here we extract the opinions of two of our Cincinnati cotemporaries. The Daily Commercial says We need not say the piece was triumphant, its conceptions, its beauties and its representations are in every one's mouth. To say what we could, justly, of this piece anil the players in it, would fill columns The plot is admirable and intelligible of itself, while the language israrely if ever equalled and but seldom exceeded, in the whole range of dramatic literature. There are points in this play that cannot be eradicated from the mind so deep and full are the impressions made on the beholder." The Atlas says Leaving Shakspeare out of the list, this play may challengea comparison with any English tragedy on the stage." No doubt, many of our readers will embrace the tirst opportunity to see the play for them- tify thejeulogies which it has received from the Western Press.

For the Star. Messrs. Editors I have for years examined the progress of the destructive worm, which infests our city, and destroys the beauty of the foliage and we have indicationsof great destruction by them the coming season. The bug from which they originate, has made its appearance in swarms. It, when full grown, is the size of a bumblebee, and can fly a distance.

This bee deposits its hundred eggs iijion the leaves of the trees, which, in a few days, produces the black worm. This worm lives about a month, and then winds itself a leaf, and lies a few days in a dormant slate, hen it ushers into life the beautiful white miller. This miller flies in every direction, deposits its numerous eggs on the underside of the remaining leaves of trees and shrubbery, wn, eegs aie transformed into the grey rat- terpillar, or cankerworm, which i so destructive to the vines, the fruits and flowers. This worm seeks a place where frost ill not destroy it, and assumes a crust or shell. which remains until Spring, and produces this large bug which has now made its appearance in such swarms.

These are farts which every minute obeiver will discover, and seek their destruction and this is the time, for they are not quite mature, an I have not yet been able to deposit their They get into warm sunny place, and on the roofs of houses, from which the writer ha gathered hundreds and buried them det-p in the ground.

And feel no lifsit.it ion in saving that that provision ol (he new Constitution which has thrown the appointment of Judges upon theagitatod current of popular election and political management, is fraught with the most perilous of novelties and the most tremendous of experiments. I'nder the ancient republics, important lessons were put forth, which History has continued to read in the ears of all men, and which it behoves us to ponder. Time, alone, does not give experience nor does all experience result in wisdom. It is much to be questioned whether we, as a people, with all our borrowed light and experimental attainments, have the political of the Athenians in the time of Thurydides. And at a later period, when de- maaroguery had perverted the great heart of the nation even when it had desecrated the sacred olfiees of their religion by vilifying the noblest l.itiil period when the lnlluence ot partizau 1 demagogues invaded the august court of the Areopagus, and defiled the temple of Justice.

From that period, the decline and ruin of the republic was precipitate and complete. Among all parties the election of the judges will furnish the true criterion and searching test of patriotism. From the Act" passed May 12, IS 17, to provide for the election of certain judicial nod other officers, and to fix their term of office," we place the following sections before our readers.
