Close of \ Otuuic* \ 2. The present number brings us to the end of j the sixth year since the Gazette has been in our hands—a much longer period we believe : than was usually allotted to publishers of this paper—during which we have endeavored to make it a vehicle of useful information and at the same time subserve the interests and advocate the doctrines of a party with which we have been connected for the last seventeen r eighteen years. Though occasionally cen sured by one here and another there—fault found with this or that—and sometimes mis . presented or abused—there is one subs tan- . tial evidence that wo have never been far wrong, namely, a good and steadily increas ing list of subscribers, which assures us that i.i the main we have represented the will and wishes of the Whigs as well perhaps as any other could have done under the same circum stances. There is however still room fur additional support, and if we are expected to devote our i.me and energies to the publication of the .Gazette —in short, if the whigs desire to re tain us in the post we have now filled for the time above mentioned—it ought to be extend ed not only by additional subscriptions, but , i v prompt payment of all dues to the office. : Y.'e have for some years endeavored to make ' both ends meet" by paying in cash all ne cessary expenses in the household or office, ! .mi! by some extraneous aid during that time, have been enabled to do so, as well as replen- j i-h tho office with an entire new stock of ma t-rial. Now we are again entirely dependent < n the receipts of the establishment for con dieting its affairs as well as " our living,'" auii under such circumstances it is hardly ne i wry to say that we need all we earn, and could well u e all due us. We publish on our last page an address re cently delivered by Rev. W. F. BRVANT in deft-nee of Masonry, which will no doubt be j read with interest by our readers, many of whom were formerly, and perhaps are still, I < ? posed to ihi institution. Our adopted citizens, who were told that Johnson and Buffington were in the city buy ing up the native vote, can see by the returns fronJ Philadelphia county that there was e slight mistake in the names of the parties treating for that vote —Bigier and Woodward, :r their agents, having been the successful ambassadors to the " churchburners,'' as the .democracy formerly delighted to call a certain faction. We suppose after this there will be lens said of a coalition between the whigs and natives than formerly, or :f spoken, it ought to be with a blush. Our friends, Thus. It. & J. McKee, have a crop of turnips, which, for size, flavor anil .quantity, probably exceeds anything of the kind yaised in this county. Families desiring a supply for the winter, can be accommodated by calling on them. A valuable cow, belonging to an industri ous colored man, residing on the McC'lure tract, a few miles below town, was struck by j the cars on Saturday evening, and so much injured the owner wts compelled to kill her. —— m ——— The Democrat says that it is authorized to give a jlat contradiction to our statement that an extra state flat, loaded with doubtful vot ers, was put on the canal. We made the statement on what we conceived to be good authority, knowing nothing ourself oi the facts in the case. The mail steamer Georgia left New-A ork last week for Aspinwall with 700 passengers, including 100 laborers for the Panama rail road. The steamer Prometheus for San Juan had on board upwards of 400 passengers. Ten stables and three horses were destroyed tv tire a* Albany on Friday. The State Election. A majority of the people of Pennsylvania have again decided that the acknowledged mismanagement existing on our public works —an increase of the State debt by prosecuting costly works for the benefit of contractors more than any one else—and heavy State taxation, are features agreeable to them, and therefore are to be continued until the voters, in their wisdom, shall decide otherwise. It matters not under what pretext this was done —whether in the name of " democracy," of party pride, or the " cohesive power of pub lic plunder"—such, in our view, is the doei sion, and it the Canal Commissioners, mem- . Iters of the Legislature, or other State officers, ; should take advantage of it, no lucofoeo tax- ; payer at least can have the right to complain. ! if the Canal Commissioners now choose to duplicate every collector's office in the State, i create two or three assistant cargo inspectors , at every port; double the mud bosses and j State fiats; if they choose to give Bingham A Dock the carrying trade over the State Ca nals, and thereby exclude every private boat- ' man : and to do whatever else may conduce to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer —no taxpayer who voted for William Hop- j kins has the right to complain. 7/ has made ' his bed, and is bound to lie upon if. This may be looked upon by some as an ul- ; tra view of the effect of the late election : ■ perhaps it is, but is there not truth in it not- ; withstanding, for where is there a man in our : broad State who does not believe there is am p!e room for reform in ail that relates to the i administration of our government and legis lation ? If there is no room for reform, how comes it that a company of individuals, com prising men who arc actively engaged in the ' transporting business as well as two or three ex-canal commissioners, offer to lease these ; public works and pay poor tax ridden Penn sylvania one million of dollars net revenue per annum, when it is well known that under their j present management, they seldom yield more ' than one-third or one-half that amount? If i such facts are of no avail to break the bonds j of party, is not u vote at the ballot box an ap- j proval of their mismanagement, both pu-i and prospective? The vote throughout the State is sraa I ], and there is a heavy falling off in the whig poll especially, which will however be brought out at the November election, and ihus deter mine whether the electors of Pennsylvania shall again east their votes for one who, like Washington, Jackson, Harrison and Taylor, has rendered distinguished service to his country. With proper effort and a deiorinl- j nation to work steadily and earnestly in he- j half of ecott, we think this can be effected, for we are not a whit worse off now than we were at the election in 1848, when the loci- ; foeos had by fur a more distinguished candi date, and much more worthy of their support than their present nominee, yet Gen. Taylor led Cass up wards of thirteen thousand votes. And such may be the result again, if the friends of Gen. Scott remain true to their j Hag, and prosecute the campaign with becom ing zeal. Let every man interested in his election but see that his neighbor attends the j polls on the second of November, and our j word fur it that many a hamlet on mountain side and in dale, will send forth its hardy yeoman who has dwelt with pleasure on the name of the renowned hero years ago, and who will not desert him now when an oppor tunity i; afforded to show that "Republics are not ungrateful." * • *" On Saturday morning, as a train of cars was coming in, a horse of Mr. Collin", a butcher, which was hitched to a wagon, be came quite restive. He was seized and held bv the bridle. As the cars came nearer he ' r av 1 and planted, then trembled violently, sunk down, arid died in his traces. Was a like ease ever kqowo before, — Frank fori (Kg.) Commonwealth. _ 1 A tunnel, six thousand feet in length, with two thousand feet of side cuttings, is about to be constructed at Cincinnati, for the bene- . fit of all the railroads approaching from the Ohio side. The hills in the upper part of tin city rise two hundred feet above the level of the plain. A verdict of eight thousand dollars dam age", has been obtained by a man named Pi per in Martinsburg, Va., against the Balti more and Ohio Railroad Company, for injur ies inflicted by an accident to a train. The verdict has been sc: aside, and a yew tjriai granted. CARLISLE BARRACKS. —CoI. P. St. George Cook, who has been in command at Carlisle Barracks for three years, has been ordered to join his regiment in Texas. He is to be suo ! eeeded by Major C. F. Kuff. who has already arrived at the Barracks with his family. The Toledo Blade tells the story of a chap ; on a railroad, who apprehending a collision of the cars, put his life-preserver on, blew it up, and leaning his back against the car, re ; signed himself to his fate. The Central and Ohio Railroad from Co lumbus to Newark, is being rapidly finished. When it is completed, freight from the North and West will be brought through to Zanes viHe by this instead of the Sandusky route. A resurrectionist was shot dead at Cincin nati last week, in the City burying ground, wbile engaged in disinterring a corpse. Indiana Election. I INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13.—The few returns received of the election in this State yester day, indicate the election of Wright, Dem., for Governor, and a majority of Democratic Members of Congress. Ohio Election. The returns from seventeen counties exhi bit a Whig gain of 3100 on the vote of 1850. : The probability is that the Whigs have car ried the State by a large majority. ■ Florida Election. The National Intelligencer has letters from Floirda which indicate the success of the Whig ticket, Pennsylvania Election. We give the following floating returns from different parts of the State, which, j while they indicate the result, are otherwise 1 very unsatisfactory: Counties. Dem. maj. Whig maj.

John Chambers, formerly a member of Congress from Kentucky, and more re- i ' recently Territorial Governor of lowa, died on Tuesday afternoon, September 21, at the resi- \ ] dence of his son-in-law, near Paris, Bourbon < county, Ky. Governor Chambers was born 1 in New Jersey about the year 1779. At the i | age of 13, be emigrated to the State of Ken- • < tucky, and settled in Washington, Mason < county. He began the practice of law at an 1 early age, and by his promptitude, energy, . and ability, soon won a large measure of sue- j cess. As an aid of Gen. Harrison, with i the rank of Major, he performed gallant ! ] service in the battle of the Thames, being j one of the foremost in the pursuit of Proctor, j During that campaign, an intimacy was es- j ( utblished between the noble commander and 1 his aid, which continued to exist through life. ] The people of county on repeated oe- ) easions chose Governor Chambers as a repre- * sentative in the State Legislature. In 1828 j he was elected a member of Congress, served I f that and the next year, and then declined re- j election. In 1835 ho was rechosen, and 1 continued a member until 1840. While in , 1 Congress he acted with the Whig party, and remained a zealous supporter of its princi- - pies and men until his death. Upon the ac- 1 cession of General Harrison to the Presidency, ; the venerable patriot offered his compatriot , in arms, in whose talents he placed great re- i i liance, a foreign mission. This was declined, ' and subsequently, the appointment of Gov- i ] eruorof the Territory of lowa conferred upon , him. In the exercise of his duties as Gov- * ernor, and tire collateral ones of Superinten- j ' dent of Indian affairs, he manifested his usu- | al ability and prudence. lie was eminently , successful in pacificating the aboriginal feuds I to the west of lowa, and was often honored { by the Indians with gifts, titles, &c. In 18 Pi Clarke succeeded him by appointment of . President Polk, and with feeble health Gov- ( ernor C. returned to his old home in Ken- ' tucky. The last public station he filled was 1 that of Ipdian Agent, which occasioned a , tour to Minnesota and tho purchase of a large i amount of lands. This was under President ' Taylor, an early friend. The Charleston Mercnrv notices the death j at Castle Pinckney on the 28th September, of, Brevet-Major John P. Roland, Capt, in the 2nd Regt. of U. S. Artillery. The deceased was a native of Pennsylvania, and entered : the service of his country at the early age of 11. as a cadet of the I . S. Military Academy. - , i Prom thence he was promoted to a commis- j ] sion in the Regiment of which lie was a mem- < ber, and served with it up iu his death. At ' the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca do la j ' Palma, lie was the Senior Lieutenant of Dun can's celebrated battery, and commanded the j section which under the orders of his Captain did so much to secure the triumph of the . Aim rican arms on the Bth of May. At Monterey, Lieut. Roland commanded and i served the howitzer which contributed power fully to the expulsion of the enemy from the Obispado. For gallant and meritorious con- j duct upon these occasions, he was successively breveted to the grades of Captain and Major. Major Edmund Ross Riddle, his son pun- j can S. Riddle, and his brother, Samuel S, j Riddle, natives of Pennsylvania, died re- , 1 cently in Talladega county, Alabama, within a few days of each other, of Dysentery. ' Major llidrlle, says the Philadelphia Sun, was formerly a contractor on the public 1 works of Maryland, and subsequently, with Col. Fremont, surveyed the Columbia S. C. Railroad. His brother also completed va rious contracts, amounting to several mil lions of dollars, on the internal improve ments of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and other States. The Right Rev. Philander Chase, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, died re cently in consequence of a fall received in traveling, lie was born in 177-7 —consecrated Bishop of Ohio in 18i9, and resigned the charge of that Dioccss some years afterwards in consequence of pecuniary difficulties con- ' nectcd with Kenyon C liege founded bv him r ... —became Bishop of Illinois in 1835, and there established Jubilee College. lie is suc ceeded as Senior and Presiding Bishop by ; Rt. Rev. T. C. Brownell, of Conn., whoso health is fast failing; the next Bishop iu or der of seniority is Bishop Meade, of \ irginia. Gen. Tuos. JEFFERSON SUTHERLAND, who figured here some years ago, as many of our readers will remember, died on the 7th ult., at. tho lowa Mission House, in Nebraska ter ritory. Gen. S. was well known as the leader of the Canadian rebellion, or rather the troops which commenced that outbreak. He was a practical printer, a scholar, lawyer, politician, ; editor, reformer, phrenologist, and Lieutenant under General Simon Bolivar, in South Amer ica, where he was severely wounded. He had also traveled iu Italy and Asia Minor. ; The Hon. Benjamin Hardin, the famous " butcher knife whetted on a grind stone" of old Kentucky, died a few weeks since, at Bardstown, at a venerable age. Ho was a man of talents and influence—twice in Con gress, and a frequent incumbent of other public stations. In debate, he was an ugly | customer, and in political affinities, a consis- j tent and reliable Whig. John Yaaderlyn, a distinguished Ameri can Painter, died at Kingston, N. Y'., week before last, aged 7} years. He painted " Ma rius among the ruins of Carthage" at Koine many years ago; and the picture of the Landing of Columbus" in the Rotundo of the Capitol at Washington, is also by his pen cil. The Whigs of Cambria county recently held a meeting at Jefferson, Ralph Bogle, Esq., President, when a pole, measuring two hundred and twenty feet, was raised. The Law of Obstructions on Railroads. Judge Gibson, in a case tried at Pittsburg before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, where a suit was brought to recover of the Erie Railroad the price of au animal which had been killed on tho road, laid down the doctrine that "an owner of cattle, killed or injured on a railway, has no recourse to the company or its servants; and that he is lia ble for damages done bv them to the company or the passengers." The Court below had given a different judgment, and Judge Gibson, in reversing it, said : "The irresponsibility of a railway company for all but negligence or wanton injury, is a necessity of its creation. A train must* make the time necessary to fulfil its engagements j with the post-office and the passengers ; and it must lie allowed to fulfil them at the sacri fice of secondary interests put in its way, else it would not fulfil them at all. The maxim of " saltts populi" would be inverted, and the paramount affairs of the public would be postponed to the petty concerns of the indi vidual. Every obstruction of a railway is unlawful, mischievous, and abatable at the cost of the owner of it, without regard to his : ignorance or intention. The lives of human beings are not to be weighed in the saun. scales with the lives of a farmer's or graz ier's stock; and their preservation is nut to ! be left to the care which a man takes of his uncared for cattle." Attack of Savage* upon an American Brig. —We learn by private letters from Rio de Ja neiro that the American Brig Mary Adeline, A. Oaksmith, of New York, master, arrived at that port on the 9th of August, from the coast of Africa, where she hyd a most peril ous and thrilling adventure with savages on the river Congo. She was hound into the river, with a valuable cargo from Rio Janeiro, and, on rounding Shark Point, unfortunately got aground near the shore. The natives seeing her helpless condition, flocked to the shore to plunder the vessel, and. in the course of the day, their numbers amounted to some three thousand. They made a furious and savage assault on the vessel, which was most bravely and gallantly defended by Captain Oaksmith and his crew for some hours, tillt'ie British armed brigautine Dolphin, which was ( fortunately in the river, came to his rescue, and saved the \e. - 1 and cargo, and the lives of all on board, though not without the los of life on tb< part f the savages. On the following day the British steamship Firefly came into tic river. apd promptly rendered every possible aid, together with the Dolphin, to relieve tin M -.ry Adeline, which was a: length got aflogt, and enabled to pursue her voyage without much loss or damage.— New York Tim ex. A correspondent of the National Intelli gencer was •' struck lately in r> ading tho ac counts of nearly simultaneous public execu tions, by the variety of modes which exist in Europe of executing capital punishment. In Spain a criminal has just, been strangled (garrotted.) In Prussia another has been bih aded i."id-. and block. In England one has been t<ang> - 7 . In France one has been guillotined : and another, condemned by court martin!, has been s/iot. In many parts of Germany, teJonding with a sword is still the mode of executing capital punishmenr. ROBBING I N:: DYING, —Mr. J. M. Brown, of Batavia, Clermont, county, Ohio, a wealthy merchant of that place, d ; ed at his residence lately, before day. and wlble dying, and when his friends wr-.- surrounding hi- bed, some scoundrels broke into his store, and after fiireing open his safe, took thorefropi over ?3000 in ciish belonging to him, and over 82000 that had been a day or two before de posited for safe-keeping by a friend.
