rev tks Ocua San WfaalJMeiltBmhl I ask the above question In regard to the following mysterious paragraph, which appeared in the wave of the 3rd Inst: "The New Jersey Baptists propose to establish a private State CobveUtion of their own. Tlwy have 140 churches.'' Professing to be-poated in the doings 1 of the New Jersey Baptists, and never heard of this remarkable pgp- ' puaal on their pert before, I would tike to know more about it For thlrty- ' one years they hare had a State CW* ' vsntlon of thdr own, the primary ob- ■ (ert of which is to spread the Gospel In the State. Why they should wish 1 now to make R privets, I can't understand. The Baptists of New Jersey 1 are not tshamcd of what they do in - Convention, and have no reason for ' privacy. It has never been proposed, thought of, or talked of. In the above paragraph the W ave has in some way impoeed upon, and tho Baptist denomination In New Jersey slandered. ; Please give us the authority. A Baptist.; [Ilad we given publicity to the above paragraph editorially, we might, perbe held accountable for having in "someway been imposed upon," as friend, "A Baptist," seems to think. Not so, however. The article question appears in n column of Freshest Gleanings," on the third . page of last week's issue, which was taken bodily from the New Y ork Mail, and which " A Baptist" must have overlooked, as the proper credit was given in a line under the title-head at the top of the column. We lay no chum to in&Illbitity against error or Imposition, for we are all liable to either at times; but having printed tho above aa a news-item merely, we think we are free from the imputation.

Both parties make Ihia a session of retrenchment and utility to the State. Tlx vast | number of private bills, (especially ' those relating to Insurance Compa1 nics) which were expected to be 1 "rushed through," have met with a check very dissatisfactory to many members of tlx " Lobby." There lias | been very little party feeling perceptible in tlxir doings. This is as it should be, and we sincerely hope they ' will follow out the course they have so ' auspiciously began, and make this ses1 sion an honor to themselves and a ' benefit to their constituents.

Tlx resolution was referred to fi Committee on Pensions. Mr. Van ° Winkle, the chairman of thai commit- I able to perceive that Mrs. LIdcoId, as v widow of the late President, or in 1, other character, is entitled t» a £ I the lady herself under the 'guise of ' I a pension; but no evidence has been , t j to them or reasons asslgne.1 ; why such provision should be made, j such afiu. the intention llie commit- , | submit the reference should have | , i as the Committee on Pensions, at least ' ' : some years past, have not thought 1 I objects of their appointment to n-rom- 1 J mend, in .any case, the granting of any ■ special pension, or any pension of a j | ! greater amount than is allowed by j • . j some general law.

We have learned the particulars of tragic afihlr which occurred near I vllle, in this county, a few days | A young man wooed and won the hand of a young lady whose broth- j was violently opposed to the match, ! and who swore they never should marry. Tho her&ie, though perhaps misguided, young lady, yielding to the ! persuasive arguments of love, consented to an elopement. Accordingly they 1 clandestinely repaired to a neighbor's | to consummate their anient desire. — ' But the resolute and desperate brother waa upon their track, and Just as the happy couple were on the floor, about I to be made one, a ball from Ms pistol i penetrated a vital part of the bridogroom's body, and he fell in Ux arms j of the devoted girl, who, true to him death, assisted by friends, conveyed j to the bed, where, at her request, i the ceremony was finished, she ex- j claimed that she " had rather mourn a j dead husband than a dead lover." In j a few minutes the newly-made husbaud j expired. The deatroyer of Ma sister's : happiness has not been seen since he 1 fired the fatal shot.— PulatHa (Tenn.)
