COURT PROCEF DINGS. —A considerable
number of criminal cases occupied the at
tention of -Court in the early part of the
week. Among the eases tried was that of
the Commonwealth vs. John Bullekin,
•
an intelligent Hooking boy of twelve years
old, who was indicted for setting fire to
the barn of Mrs. McClellan. near Belle\ ille,
during the past summer. The principal
evidence was the boy's own confession
made some weeks after the thoughtless
act had been committed, but nothing was j
/ohcited from she witnesses to show that
there was anv malice in it, which the law !
absolutely requires to make it a capital of
fence. "The witnesses generally testified
in favor of the boy's previous good char
acter. Judge WILSON charged the Jury
with a brief but lucid explanation of the ;
law respecting such cases—after which |
the Jury retired and returned a verdict of
.N OT GUILTY.
NEW YORK. —The returns from this
"Stafte, as far as received, show a thorough
and substantial victory of the Whigs over
the Locofoco Coalition ! The four Whig
Senators are probably chosen, and the
Whiffs have ten out of the sixteen Assem
blymen.
The election returns from New Jersey
-
show a decided whig victory.
STATE TREASURER. The following 1
names are already announced in the Lo
eofoco papers for the office of State Treas
urer :—Richard Yaux, Esq., of Philadel
phia ; ('ol. John Snodgrass, of Westmore
land ; Jacob Wcidle, Esq.. ef Lebanon ;
Win. 1). Boas, Esq., of Dauphin ; f'ol. I
Asa Packer, of Carbon ; and Wm. Haekett,
of Northampton; Jacob Dillinger, of Le-j
high. Cannot the State of Mifflin bring
forward a candidate ?
DEATHS FROM CHLOROFORM. —A recent
number of the Medical Times says :
4 An accident of a very melancholy na
ture lias just occurred in Glasgow. Dr.
Adams, resident physician to the Clyde
street Hospital, having occasion to use
Chloroform, inhaled it himself to try its
strength but without any serious conse
quence ; repeating, however, this experi
ment, and incautiously increasing the dose,
the effect was fatal : he fell hack and im- !
mediately expired.'
The EM'nion Medieale of Sept. Bth, !
-a\s:— 4 fin the 211(1 of August, Md'me ;
Labrune, a healthy married woman, resid
ing at Emigres, in l'ranee, died from the |
effects of chloroform vapor. She wished
to have a tooth extracted, and prior to
the operation inhaled the vapor, which
was given to her at her own desire. Com- j
piete insensibility was not produced at the i
first trial; more chloroform was placed on j
the handkerchief, and she drew a full in
spiration. Her countenance immediately
became pallid; her features were visibly
altered ; there was a dilatation of the pu- 1
pils, with a convulsive rolling of the eyes,
and no pulse could be felt. Every attempt
was made to restore life, but without suc
cess. She died as if struck by lightning.'
RECEIVING HIS DESERTS. —The Danville
(Va.) Register, of the 26th ult., publishes
the following :
A man named Bow-en. residing in the
neighborhood of Berger's store, in this
county, was killed, a few days ago, in an
attempt to resist with fire-arms the officers
of the law, who had been directed to take
him in custody, for the commission ola
high misdemeanor. Bowen attempted to
kill his wife by shooting at her with a ri
de, through a window, at the residence of
HI father-in-law. Judge Taliaferro, is
sued orders for the immediate arrest of the
on 4 law : and the Sheriff summoned sever
al persons to assist him in executing the
Judge s orders. Bowen confronted them
in the yard with rifle and revolvers, the
tonne r of which, after a short parley with
them, he levelled at one of the party, who
dropped from his horse at the instant, and
thereby saved himself, as the ball aimed
lor turn barely grazed the top of the horse's
bead. Bowen then advanced on the
c." wd with a revolver, when, finding they
fither run or fight for their lives, a
volh'V of pistols and musketry was dis
charge J at hun, which brought him to the

MIIM.ETOV. N, Sept. 26th, 1549.
Mv Dear JSiu : Very cordially 1 thank you
for tour friendly attention in the transmission
of the Pittsburgh Mercury, wherein some no
tice is taken of Pennsylvania interests, con
nected with my natne, while a member of the
U S. Senate.
I avail myself of the occasion to express the
hope, that " as the signs of the times" portend
a disscussion of the tariff, during the approach
ing session of Congress, there may be no ex
citement, no parly prejudices, or other false
issues raised to influence the legislative mind
of the country towards the adoption of mea
sures adverse to the general interest.
The tariff policy is of momentous importance
to all the great industrial pursuits of our coun
try. The public good is the rule by which
we should be guided in the performance of re
lative duties ; and to this central point the le
gislature should invariably direct all its deli
berations. At an early day, I look lessons in
the school cf Simon Snyder on this very ques
tion of protection to the infant manufactures
of the Union; and time has had no effect to
change my views and wishes, which have been
expressed in the Senate, in favor of the per
manent establishment of a home market, asthe
only solid basis of national prosperity: And
here I may add, it is very remarkab.e that all
the Democratic governors of this Common
wealth, down to Governor Shunk, have main
tained ground in favor of protection to home
labor. Nine consecutive messages of Governor
Snyder are text books to sustain and cheer the
sound portion of our Democratic friends, who
will not surrender to the free trade doctrines
of British capitalists.
" We most command otir own consumption
and the means ot our defence," lias been the
sentiment of Pennsylvania from the dawn of
independence. And as a freeman, born upon
the soil, I may be permitted to regard, with no
ordinary solicitude, the onward prosperity ot
the iron, coal and agricultural interests of this
State.
The new settlements being opened up m the
far West, embracing the Territories of Texas,
California and Oregon, must ot neces-ity in
crease the surplus produce of the soil. Upon
foreign countries our farmers can never depend
with certainty for a permanent profitable mar
ket. It is therefore the safest and wisest poli
cy to create a home market for the fanner, by
encouraging domestic manufactures, under
such revenue lawß as shall secure tothc Amer
ican mechanic the rewards of his labor in his
own market. Let the panper laC of V"o
contmuc but a few years to flood ... country
with the productions of foreign workshops, and
if the past history ct the world furnish facts by
which we may be guided in our deliberations
on this subject, then I venture to predict lhat
all the leading interests of Pennsylvania and ot
the Union—the iron, the coal, the salt, the
wool, the tlax, the hemp, the paper, the hat,
the sugar, and the gunpowder manufactures,
with others to tedious too mention, will be en
tirely ruined through the length and breadth
of the land.
The rioctme of" let trade regulate itself,"
is beautifully illtmrnted, if it were net de
structive in its effects, by the present condi
tion of the couutry importing imrneode quan
tities of British iron, although we have it home,
the raw material in abundance, industrious
and skilful mechanics, and ample capita! to
oomrnand our own consumption in this re
spect. With these facts staring us in the face,
is it any thing short of an insane policy to
preach up free trade to benefit the overgrown
money changers of Great Britain, thereby
working injury to American labor. 1 feel a
lively sensibility on this subject, and whether
i am in error or not, I freely stale to you, that
1 look upon the permanent and prosperous e s --
tablishment of free labor, in this country, ns the
most effectual means, in the mysterious opera
tions of political events, to subvert the thrones
of heirarchies and despots upon the continent of
Europe, and to elevate the masses of equal
rights and rational liberty, the destiny of man
kind.
These views incline me to ho|>e, that every
man who is anxious for the weltare of our good
old Commonwealth and for the integrity of the
union, will stand up for protection of Ameri
can industry, on grounds of patriotism. We
must be wholly independent of foreign sup
plies; American labor must not be sacrificed
to feed the squalid operatives of Great Britain.
Accept assurances of my sincere regards.
Your friend, &c. SIMON CAMERON.

COLLISION ON THR COLOMBIA RAILROAD.—
About 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, a seri
ous accident, attended with a loss of life, arid
a considerable destruction of valuable property,
occurred on the Columbia Railroad, between
Parkcsburg and Coatesville. The locomotive,
"Clarion," with a freight train, going upwards,
was approaching the station near the latter
place to take in water, when the coupling of
part of the train broLe. Twenty cars, all heavy
laden, were thus liberated, and there being a
heavy downward grade, they ran down by their
own gravity with immense speed. Tbev went
on as far as the Coatesville bridge, where they
came in collision with another train which had
left Parkesburgsome fifteen minutes previously.
Such was the force of the shock, that Some
twelve cars were demolished and three, others
were driven completely over the bridge.
Two men, in the employ of the State, were
at work repairing the road near the spot, and
not seeing the cars coming on the north track,
were struck by them. One of them, named
Lynn, was instantly killed, bis head being sev
ered from his body. The other man, named
Patton, was seriously hurt, and is not expected
to survive. It is stated that the men in charge
of the cars which broke loose, had left the train
and gone into the hotel at that stopping place.
They were employed by the transporters, and
their contact is highly censured. Had even
one of them been on the train, he might have
used the break, and thus prevented the disaster.
FALL OF A CHIFKI II SFIKF.. —The tall
spire of the Second Presbyterian (JJturch
in Wheeling, fell with a tremendous crash
on Friday evening of last week, striking a
German workman who was standing near
the building, mangling his body in a fright
ful rnainu r. The spire lud been only re
cently finished, and the scaffolding re
moved hut a short time before the accident
occurred.
RIOT. A serious riot occurred in Rcad
mg oil Monday night last, between the
men attached to Spalding Ar Rogers' cir
cus ami a number of the citizens.
foreign NEW S.
BY THE HIBERNIA.
Tike steamer Hibernia, alter a very
rough passage, arrived at Halifax on the
2d instant, bringing one week later news
from Europe :
TURKEY AND RUSSIA. —There is no la
ter news in the European Times, the only
paper which has come to hand, from ci
ther Constantinople or St. Petersburgh,
and of course we have got no solution of
the difficulty between the Porte and the
Austrian General. The belief, however,
among well informed circles, is said to be
that Russia w ill pocket the affront rather
than provoke a collision with trance and
England. There is a rumor from Paris
that in consequence ot the relation in
which Louis Napoleon siaitds with the
Czar, lie would gladly forego '.lie support
of the nation in behalf ot Turkey.
A correspondent writing from Belgrade,
011 the Ist ult., states that the Hungarian
Refugees were still at Widden ready to
set out for the destinations they may se
lect. They were divided into three corps,
an Italian, a Hungarian and a Polish one;
each camp is under the order of a Col
onel, and each man receives such daih
rations, according to his grade, as British
troops. Prince Alexander of Servia had
behaved verv well towards them—allow
ing them free passage through his territo
ry and provinces. Rem, Dembeuski and
several others have not only embraced fs
lamism but entered the Turkish army.—
The Porte is said to have appointed the
Isle of Candia as the residence of the re
fugee Magyars.
FRANCE. —The deliberations of the Na
tional Assembly were almost wholly de
voted on the l 4 ith and 13th ult., to the re
port of M. Thiers on the Russia question.
The report is decidedly conservative and
at variance with the express views of the
President's letter to M. Thiers. The
conclusions which M. Thiers arrived at
are that liberal constitutions arc incompat
ible with the Pope's independence as tem
poral sovereign, and that the independent
Church and the rights of people are at is
sue. The latter, he thinks ought to give
w ay.
At STRIA AND HUNGARY. —A treaty be
tween Austria and Prussia, was signed at
Vienna on the 10th ult. It provides that
Austria and Prussia assume the adminis
tration of the central power of the German
Confederation in the name of all the Gov
ernments m the Confederation until the
lirst of May next year.
Human in his administration as Milita
ry Governor of Hungary loses 110 opportu
nity to pursue the bloody course peculiar
to him. He had murdered, under the
guise of Court martial, thirteen Hungarian
Generals, who laid down their arms at the
clotie of the war. Count Bathiny, late
Prime Minister of Hungary, has also been
shot. He had been sentenced to be hung,
but leaving cut his throat with a dagger
sent him by his wife, it was impossible to
strangle him, and he fell pi< reed b\ bullets
from a hie of Austrian soldiers.
Several hundred Hungarian oflic
furnished with passports, from Comoro,
have passed through Berlin on their wav
to the West. Some are going to America,
klapka is s ud to be among them, and to
have embraced the resolution of crossing
the Atlantic, with 300 others.
Hungary is to be divided lienei forth in
to ten districts, each to have its own Pro
vincial Assembly, vet the deputies are to
be chosen by a majority of votes of the |
population.
ROME. —The accounts from Rome are
still unsatisfactory. The return of the
Pope is soil talk* <1 about, but when he
will return L still a subject of conjecture. !
There has been a misunderstanding be- j
tween one of the Cardinals and M. De i
Ooreellas, the Frenchman being offended
at a letter he received from the Ecclesiastic,
in which he complained ol the number ol
traitors tolerated in the Eternal city. The
point was referred to his Holiness, who
disapproved ot the Cardinal's conduct, and
threw hint overboard.
The brave Garribaldi has left the Island
of Santa Madalina for Gibralter, where he
will sail for Loudon and ultimately to tin
F uilcd States.
I RELAX l). —The Anti-Rent conspiracies
of Ireland are extending throughout all
parts of the land. The local journals are
filled with accounts of arrests for abduc
tion of crops. No doubt that in the South
ern and in part ol the Northern provinces
there is a general determination on the
part of the peasantry to defraud the land
lords of the rents to such an extent as
would seem calculated without much doubt
to consummate the ruin of the country.
The fearful effects of the potato blight, le
ver, cholera, and other diseases, by which
Ireland has been distracted, seems likely
to be far exceeded by calamitous results
of the moral pestilence that is spreading
throughout the land. A conflict attended
with fatal results took plaee on the 13th
at Kitterby in King's county, when three
policemen were killed and several others
severely injured.
CIKCASSIA. —The fall of the fortress of
Aehulga, the residence of Schamil, the
celebrated chief, after a desperate and pro
tracted resistance, is announced m letters
from St. Petcrsburgh. On the 29th of
August the assault was renewed, after
three days' useless negotiation, every inch
of ground being fiercely contested by the
i besieged, who fought with obstinate bra
very. The defences were covered with
heaps of dead bodies. 'l'he loss ol the
Circassians was estimated by the Rus
sians at 1000 nun killed, exclusive of
j those wounded, and 000 made prisoners.
! Scharnyl was not to be found ; he had
I contrived to escape with one of his sons
j and one of his mistresses. Another of
fiis sons and his lawful wife were slain,
and a third son was taken prisoner.—
Srhamvl himself was wounded in the arm
"by a musket ball. The siege of Achulga,
thus successfully terminated, had lasted
eleven months, during which period the
Russians lost 22 officers and 422 men, ex
clusive of those wounded.
ARRIVAL OT THE WASHINGTON.
Bv the steamer Washington, at New
York, we have received London and
Southampton papers of the 20th ult.. as
likewise the Paris and Havre journals of
18th and 19th—none of which were
brought by the Hibernia, in consequence of
the early hour of her sailing from Liver
pool.
The Havre cotton market was very ac
tive, and a considerable and steady rise
had taken place, 111 sympathy with the ad
vices from Liverpool.
Advices from Paris mention tL ,t the
dissension which had existed between the
President of the Republic and the majority
of the National Assembly on the Roman
question had passed away for the present,
and it was believed some middle eourse
i would be adopted, whereby the Ministeri
al crisis, for some days so imminent would
1 be avoided.
Fresh executions of Hungarian patriots
. had taken place and were to take place in
Arad and in Pesth by sentence of Austrian
Courts Martial. One of the first notables
of Hungary, the octogenarian Beothy, was
condemned to death. The brutal retalia
tions of the Austrian (Government has tilled
, all Europe with horror and disgust.
At Constantinople, the Turks were ac
tively preparing lor war, and hostilities be
tween the Porte and Russia were deemed
'to be unavoidable. The British Ambassa
dor had received despatches, stating that
lite English fleet was on its way to the
Dardanelles, and the French Mediterranean
squadron was also under orders to rendez
vous at the entrance of the Dardcnelles.
The Turkish army in Constantinople and
i's environs, 129.000 strong, was daily
drilled and manoeuvred.
FRANCE. —In spite of M. Mole and M.
Toiers, who have become the directors of
the F' gitimatist party, the President of the
Republic and the majority of his Council
have ranged themselves on the Eastern
question, on the side of civilization, and
against the sanguinary pretensions ot the
Czar. Thus as we have announced, the
Mediterranean fleet has received orders to
repair to Sm\ rna, where it will join that of
! \dmiral Parker, to act in concert, in case
of need, according to ulterior instructions,
and advice has been sent to the French
Ambassador at Constantinople of the order
that has been given. The Republic lias
! now It sail ot the line armed at Toulon,
and three frigates. All these vessels do
not form part of the Mediterranean licet,
but they could join it belore tle ir services
would be required.
The steam fleet in the Mediterranean is
not less respectable, being composed of 12
frigates ; and if it should become necessary
to embark a force of 25,000 men, the
means of transport would not be wanting.
We do not believe that Russia would at
tempt the risk of war with Turkey, allied
to Frame and Great Britain, hut that is
for us onlv an additional reason for approv
ing of a demonstration wliieh will consoli
date European peace, by showing those
whose ambition would lead th< 111 to disturb
it. with whom they would have to deal.
BICUARIST. Oct. I.—The Turkish and
Russian armies have lifted up their tents,
which were pitched out of the town, and
have taken their quarters in the tow 11 it
self, adding about 20,000 people to its pop
ulation. The Turks are quartered in
large khans on the right hank of the Dein
boritza, a small river which runs pictur
esque through Bueharist, and the Russians
on the left hank. The town affords a eu
, rious sight for an observer. Russian and
Turkish uniforms are constantly seen
crowding the streets.
St. Louis, Nov. 0.
A revolting case of rape and murder took
plaee the other (lav. near Palmyra. \ ne
gro belonging to Mr. Glasscock, commit
ted violence on Miss 11 right, an interesting
little girl, I I years of age, and then mur- |
tiered her. For fear of being detected, :
the inhuman monster turned round and
killed her brother, aged I 1 years. The
w retch has been arrested, and trill he
burned alive on Friday.
Young ltarnum, who was shot in St.
Louis bv the French brothers Montesquieu,
is much better, and hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
QIJINCY, (111.) Nov. t".
Last night about fifty negroes, of all
ages and sexes, with teams, stampeded
from the Missouri side of the river. The
slaves were owned by Miss Miller, Mr.
McKiin and Mr. Met'uteheon, of Sugar
Creek, and Mr. Ellis of Montieillo, Lew is
county. The slaves were overhauled on
Saturday morning, and after a desperate
resistance and the loss of their leader, they
were captured. The slave who was killed
belonged to Miss Miller.
CONSTRUCTIVE MILEAGE.--— lt appears
that Mr. Comptroller Whittlesey has just
put his rr/o upon the account rendered by-
Mr. Dickens, tlio Secretary of the Senate,
of about #It),000, which he paid to the
mi miters of the Senate, as constructive
mileage : that is, he paid all of them, but
three who had scruples in the matter, the
mileage, for going home on the -Ith of
March last, and returning the same day.
It is stated that Mr. Whittlesey submitted
the matter to the President, who promptly
requested him to do what he helieved to
he right , and let the consequences take
care of themselves! Mr. Dickens will,
therefore, have to ask Congress to make up
the expended sum. The paid Senators
w ill hardly refund any part of the $40,000
they have receiv ed, according to precedence,
though not according to law and justice.
BE KIND.
Re kind to thy father—for when thou v-er
young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accent that fell from thy
tongue,
And joined in thine innocent glee.
Re kind to thy fattier, for now he is old,
His locks intermingled with grey,
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold;
Thy father is passing away.
Be kind to thy mother—for lo on her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen,
0 veil inay'st thou cherish and comfort her
now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy mother—for thee will she pray
As long as God givcth her breath,
With accents of kindness, then cheer her lone
way,
E'en to the dark valley of death.
Be kind to thy brother—his heart will have
dearth
If the smile of thy love be withdrawn ;
The flowers of feeling w ill fade at their birth,
If the dew of affection be gone ;
Be kind to thy brother—wherever you arc,
The love of a brother shall he
An ornament purer and richer by far
Than pearls from the depth of the sea.
Be kind to thy sister—not many may know
The depth of true sisterly love,
The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Thy kindness shall bring to tliee many sweet
hours,
And blessings thy pathway to crown,
Affection shall weave thee a garland of flowers,
More precious than wealth or renown.
I'roeliimfttion for Thaoksgiiing.
A beneficent God has blessed the people of
this Commonwealth with health and abundance.
The fieids have yielded bountiful returns to the
labors of the husbandman. The enterprises of
the citizens, in all branches of industry, have
been appropriately rewarded. Peace with all
nations has been vouchsafed to the country.
Civil and religious liberty, under the institu
tions of free government, have been preserved
inv iolate, and the largest measure of earthly
happiness has been graciously dispensed by an
all-wise and merciful Providence.
These blessings demand our gratitude to Him
in whose hands are the issues of life—who con
trols and directs the affairs of men—whose will
is Omnipotent to save or destroy, and who min
-1 gles in the justice of His Judgments the attri
butes of His mercy—before whose power na
tions are exalted or cast down—and they call
upon us, as one people, to unite in solemn
Thanksgiving—in humble supplication and praise
to the Almighty Author of every good and per
fect gift, for these His undeserved blessings to
iiis weak and sinful creatures. They require
the profound reverence of penitent hearts, sen
sible of the unworthiness of humanity, and of
the enduring mercy of a righteous God.
Believing these solemn truths; deeply im
pressed with the duty of devout adoration and
.humble prayer ; in compliance with a venerated
custom, and the desires of the great body of the
people : I, WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON, Governor of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
appoint arid designate THC'RSIJ.I F, the 29Hi
diiy of Sore mber next, as a day of general Thanks
giving throughout the State : and 1 hereby re
commend and earnestly invite ail the good peo
ple of this Commonwealth to a sincere and pray
erful observance of the same.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty-fifth day
of October, in the year of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and forty-nine, and of the
Commonwealth the seventy-fourth.
By the Governor.

use the Brandreth's Pills,and rely upon it, that the pain

The quantity of impure humors discharged from the
body by the ac tion of the Hrandreth's Pills, is replaced in
the course of a few hours with new and pure blood, by '
the digestion of a moderate meal. Bv purging the body
with this medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en- .
tirely purifi. d and regenerated.
That the blood is the life of the body. I presume is un
disputed, therefore I shall say that it being the Seat or
l.tt'K, it must also be the seat of disease. If disease be in
the blood, we should abstract the disease only, not the
blood It is the impurities which must be removed by
purgation to secure our health, in ailstates of the weatner,
in all situations, and in all cliniatas. The blood, like a
good spirit, is always trying to benefit the body by its
struggles to expel impurities But it is not capable to ef
fect its own purification at all times : to do this it must
often have assistance. \\ lien the blood is loaded with im
purities, especially in this climate, the consequences may
be fatal, provided the blood is not purified al once, and
this is sure to be effected if Brandreth's Pills are used.

until the close of her life. She was a consis
tent member of the Lutheran Church, mild and
unassuming in her deportment, and a firm be
liever in the great truths of the Christian reli
gion. She was respected by her neighbors and
loved by her An affectionate mother
and devoted wile, she faithfully discharged the
duties of tfic domestic sphere, and though a suf
ferer from painful disease of fifteen years
continuance, meekly submitted to her sufl'erings
without a murmur. She gradually sunk tway
before the sjow but certain ravages of the de
j stroyer, and yielded up her spirit to Him who
gave it almost without a struggle. Her com
posure and tranquility of tnind were truly grati
fying to her iriends. She believed that in death
she would exchange tins earthly for a heavenly
habitation, and that her spirit would be receiv
ed into the glorious company of the angels and
saints, made perfect through suffering. "Bless
ed are the dead whodie in the Lord ; yea, henee
tortli, saith the Spirit, for they rest front their
' labors and their works follow theiu." A

Money Matters, Trade, &c,
The Wheeling Gazette says, another counter- I
feit of the one dollar bills on the Ripley Branch I
of the State Bank of Ohio, exceedingly well ex- I
ecuted, is in circulation. The red impie-sion I
on the back is genuine ; and the best, if not the f
only, distinguishing mark is, that in the coun
terfeit the star or areola at the end of the bar
enclosing the words " State Bank of Ohio," is
set in the centre of a square block, which is not
the case in the genuine.
