AN AWFUL TRAGEDY The MEMPHIS EAGLE furnish es the details of a most awful tragedy and the swift vengeance of the excited populace, which oc curred in that city on .Wednes day, Jan. 1st: -y-i "On Wednesday evening, our community was convulsed .by one of those violent, excitements, be fore which customary 1 barriers give way. ' A 'horrible murder was. followed by a summary and terri ble punishment. An excited pop ulace learning that . Mr. John K. Chester. Recorder of Memphis, a most faithful and diligent public servant, and an exceedingly amia ble gentleman, had been- brntaHy and causelessly shot down- by a runaway slave who claimed to be free, took the law Into Its own hands, dragged the negro' from ihe calaboose, and hung him on the nearest tree." The facts as detailed are briefly' these: The negro, In company with a white, man, -called at fke i Recorder's office, with a free pass, to which' he desired the Recorder's seal attached. Suspecting the. oy to be a runaway, and. the papers a forgery, he questioned him as o the facts, .which the 'boy denied. The Recorder made inquiries, out of doors, and being confirmed in his suspicions, returned to interro gate the boy again, which he did say those present.

Her heart, however, was with the boys, about C000. of whom were , waiting out side, and she hastily dismissed the girls to lmake room for-them. As .soon as the Theatre .was cleared, they rushed In with happy hearts; and on the fair songstress making " her 'appearance, they greeted her with enthusiastic cheers, .for , which she thanked them "most kindly. After order was restored, she sang '"Hpme. Sweet Home" for tb,em; and. after a piece from the orchestra, she came forward and addressed the children. She said fit ;af forded her gratification to contribute to their pleasure, and asked them what they would have her sing.' Some of them cried out one song, and some another, until four were called. She then plea santly addressed them, and re marked that, as they seemed di vided she would sing them all, provided they would sing for her afterwards. This was received with great enthusiasm, and she proceeded to sing "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth," followed by th "Bird Song." the "Flnte Song," and the "Mountaineer's Song," the first of which she re peated. . The boys then sang for her "Hall Columbia" and the "Star-Spangled Banner" very fine ly, and she clapped them most heartily, waving her Jiandkerchief over her head. .After giving her three hearty cheers, the boys were dismissed and the performance was over. She seemed as much delighted as they were. Perhaps the most acceptable kind of flattery consists less in eulogizing a man's actions, or tal ents, than in decrying those of his rival. r . Soul-cheering it is to live in an age, when, a thought is stronger than a sword, public opinion more powerful than a standing army, the people's mouth more potent than .the cannon.

TO THE PUBlJC After tedious months of impa tience and anxiety, we are enabled to send forth the first number of the Oregon Statesman; and. in ac cordance with a time-honored cus tom,, we accompany it with a brief Index of our designs. First, the Statesman will be faithfully devoted to the interests and prospteriy of the Territory. Oregon is our home the land of our adoption and choice, and her interests are our interests, her welfare is our welfare; and the promotion of her advancement, the development of her varied re sources, agricultural, commercial. mineial and manufacturing, will always .receive our; first and fore most attention. Nor shall we per mit ourself to be influenced by anyfeelings'of rivalry which may exist between different points and sections; we go for the whole of Oregon, every part and parcel, be lieving that the interests of all are -so- connected' and interwoven that the growth and improvement of one point or portion, contrib utes in a greater or less degree to the growth and improvement of every other. In politics, the Statesman will be Democratic, devoted to the in terests and adhering to the usages ot that party, and defending its measures and members .against the. jinmeri.ted assaults of political-opposition. Schooled1 to cher ish the great truths promulgated by that patriarch ot Democracy, THOMAS JEFFERSON. and strengthened by observation . and experience in the conviction ' of their correctness and adaptation to our. form u of government, we hall labor to propagate and sus tain' them with whatever ability we possess. a In Territorial politics. the Statesman will labor to secure and preserve the integrity and unity of jthe Democratic party. Irrespec tive of local interests or personal aims; and we shall therefore re fuse, on all occasions, to lend our columns lo further the purposes of tactions, cliques or Individuals To make 'the Statesman the true and. faithful organ of the whole Democracy of Oregon, , will be the heighth ot our ambition.; , - . .. ; . But w, bile we shall -be firm and unflinching in - the advocacy and defence of our own opinions, we shall endeavor to observe a court-: eoua; and 'respectful r demeanor towards those; who may 'chance to differ with us, awarding to all the same freedom of opinions that we claim-for ourself.
