THE GAZETTE. LE WIST OWN, PA. Thursday, March 12, 1857. ; TO OUR PATRONS. W bare this year, in addition to our regular expenses, j to meet nearly S3OO ou the Ist of April, and we trust there- 1 fore that our patrons who have heretofore so liberally res- \ ponded to this annual call, will do so again. The past few years, with their high prices, have been trying ones to us. ' for while everything else has gone up our terms for the : paper and prices ot Job work are the same as when we could purchase fionr at S4JO and S3.no per barrel, butter at 12i; cents per pound, and many other things in proportion; yet with ail this, such not ices as " We want money," " We Mist have money," Ac., are never found in the columns of i ttie Gazette unless it be at this season. This is not because we do not need it, (for to tell the truth we have been a bor rower in 1556,) but because these constant "duns" are cold- I ly looked upon by the public, and seldom produce any good. There Is one class to whom we have a special word to say. They are few in number, but totally regardless wheth er they pay or not. The day has arrived when we XC-T dispense with SCCH " patronage," and we here give them notice that we shall take an early occasion to strike their names off the books. _ A large number of subscriptions Inkhe Western-States, £o. will expire during the months of February, March and i April, and as these are discontinued at the expiration of tne time paid for, (except in a few special cases,) those wiahing the paper continued will pleas'- remft a gold dol lar, wapped in a piece of paper and enclosed in a letter.- - No western small notes will b" taken in payment.

The citizens of Mifflin county in favor of appointing delegates to the I n.un Convention are requested to meet in the Town Hail, Lew is*. j\vn, on MONDAY EVENING, March 10, 13-07, Lr the purp s3 of electing Delegates sai l C'jiiventkn. i ne extraordinary decisi ui of the Supremo ' Court of the United States, reversing the set- ' tied practice of the government from it 3 foundation to tin) present day as respects colored men, will be read with feelings of regret by thousands who, in special wonder, ask themselves what no-ant the Declaration of Independence in 1776 when it declared all men te be created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights? The most extra ordinary part of this decision however is the declaration of the Supreme Court that the first Congress, composed of many eminent men of the revolution who had aided in fra ming the Constitution, did not understand its provisions —for such in fact is their decision ! l>y it too, the idolatrous Chinese, the beastly Mormon, the priest ridden ladrunes of Italv, the semi-civilized horde of Mexican thieves, | and indeed ail others but tinged with a white skin may become citizens of this country by I wholesale, but no matter what his intellect, what his property, or what bis acquirements, ; the colored man i- henceforth declared l>v tL ► Supreme Cmirt to be an "animal" incapable of becoming a citizen of the United Stab*, though he may pay taxes, fight her battles, and shed his blood in her defence! If this is right, what, in Heaven's name, will be wrong hereafter? t^A.Holders of Lancaster Bank notes, says the Lancaster Examiner, should understand that if they demand payment at the bank, and have an endorstment to that effect made ' by the cashier, the notes so presented will bear six per cent interest until paid—or until a final dividend is made of the assets. The notes, it will be understood, will bear interest eniy from the time payment is demanded: and i those on which no demand is made, will of course not bear interest. 3®-The question of pay and allowances to i Lieut. Gen. Scott was fortunately settled du ring the closing hours of the late Fession of Congress. The arrearages due the veteran, it is understood, will amount to about thirty two thousand four hundred dollars, and his | annual pay and emoluments will hereafter be < fifteen thousand dollars. A grateful nation, .vc- are sure, says the National Intelligencer, •oi cordially approve this proceeding, and eem it fur less a measure of liberality than I e justice. 'road Robberies and Arrests. —For some past an extensive and well organized f thieves have been operating along :s of the Ohio and Pennsylvania, Ohio diani, and Fort Wayne and Chicago i ids, and heavy losses have been sus • by these companies.

YIVIA ; the SciTet oj Power. By Mrs. E. D. N. Southwortb, author of " Lost Heiress," " Deserted Wife," &e. Neatly bound iu cloth for $1.25, or in two volumes, paper cover, for SI.OO. It seems the aspiration of Mrs. South worth i 3 ever to rise from excellence to excellence, and to make each succeeding work superior to all that have preceded it, and as she generally ' succeeds, ber last work is, in almost evsry i case, her best. In striking originality and i beauty of conception, und strength and viv idness of delineation, as well as in her pecu- I liar power of fascinating the minds and hearts of her readers, Mrs. Southworth stands alone. • TUE BORDER ROVER.

V> AILIINGTON, March o.—The President this afternoon in the following nomina tion of Cabinet officers: Secretary of State—Lewis Case, of Michi i 'g an - Secretary of the Treasury—llov.ell Cobb, cf < Jcorgia. Secretary of War—John B. Floyd, i f k ir ■ ginia. Secretary of the Navy—Laac Toucey, ol Connecticut. Secretary of the Interior—Jacob Thump son. of Mississippi. Postmaster General—Anson V. Brown, of Tennessee. Attorney General—Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania. The nominations were immediately con firmed by the Senate. THE DRED SCOTT CASE. WASHINGTON, March G.—The opinion of the Supreme Court in the Dred See tt case was delivered by Chief Justice Taney to-day. It was a full and elaborate statement of the ! views of the Court. They have decided the following all important points: First—Negroes, whether slaves or free— j that is men of the African race—are not cit izens of the United States, by the Constitu tion. Second—The ordinance of 17c7 had no j independent constitutional force or legal ef- I feet subsequently to the adoption of the Con , stitution: and could not operate of itself to confer freedom or citizenship within the North west territory, on negroes not citizens by the Constitution. Third—The provisions of the act of 1820, commonly called the Missouri Compromise, in so far as it undertook to exclude negro slavery and communicate freedom and citi zenship to the negroes in the northern part of the Louisiana eession, was a legislative act exceeding the powers of Congress and void, and of no legal effect to that end. In deciding these main points the Supreme Court have determined the following inciden tal points: First—The expression "territory and other property," in the Constitution applies (in terms) only to such territory as the Union possessed at the time of the adoption of the : Constitution. Second—The right of citizens of the Uni ted States emigrating into any Federal terri tory and the power of the Federal govern- < | mint there depend on the general provisions of the Constitution, which defines in this as in all other respects, the powers of Congress. \ 1 bird—As Congress dues not possess power i itself to make enactments relative to the per- I sons or property of citizans of the United States iu Federal territory, other than such I as the Constitution confers, so it cauuot con- ! I stitutionally delegate any such powers to a Territorial government organized by it under i the Constitution. fourth—The legal condition of a slave in i the State of Missouri is not affected by the j temporary sojourn of such slave iu any other State, but at his return his condition stili ; depend- on the laws of Missouri. As the I plaintiff was not a citizen of Missouri and therefore could not sue in the Courts of the j 1 nited States, his suit must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 1 he delivery of this opinion occupied about i three hours and was listened to with profound attention by those in the crowded court room, j I fifcjrOn the 25th ult., a young woman, nam ; ed Anna Hewitt, was barned to death at Shimpstown, near Mercersburg, Pa. Her I clothes accidentally took fire, and before the j flames could be extinguished site was almost i 1 entirely denuded and her person frightfully ■ burned. She lingered until the following day. , SEBuJesse Yount, for many years a well known citizen of Indianapolis, Indiana, died j March Ith, of a disease resembling poisoning. J He had eaten some pork, and it is supposed that it must have been diseased, as the hog ; cholera has been prevalent among the swine . in that vicinity. 8*?-.,, Geo. R. Mowry, E*q., who li.ia for some time held the post of First Assistant j Superintendent and Engineer of the Pennsvl- | vania Railroad, has resigned with a view*of j removing to Chicago, llis friends at Altoo na last week presented him with a black eb . ouy cane, highly polished, with a magnificent j gold head.

B@-_ 1 fie Board of Revenue Commissioners have fixed tho valuation of MifHin county as follows: Property subject to tho tax of 3 mills, $4,309,834 Property subject to the tax of 1 per cent., 20,722 Property subject to the tax of 2 per cent., ' 2,000 Aggregate, 4,399,156 Tax on watches, $155 75 LEWISTOWN STATION. —The railroad busi ness transacted at the Lewistown Station, du ring the month of February, as shown by the books of D. E. Robeson, Esq., Agent, is as follows: Freight received, $983 20 " forwarded, 3,685 24 Tolls, 1 58 Passenger receipts, 1,100 80 Total, $5,770 82 Aniung the principal articles of freight forwarded, are the following: Poultry, 2,705 lbs.

No. Horse-, 38 Cattle, 119 Hogs, 333 Sheep, 325 NET AND SEINE FISHING. —By an act ap proved April 27, 1855, the following section tf an act to prevent the destruction of trout ia the Let irt Spring, in Cuntberlan 1 countv, wa-. extended to the " tributaries running in to the Juniata rivet, in Mitdin county " If any person shall enter into and upon the premises of any^owner of laud on the said Letart Spring, n' any time of the year, ' for the purpose of fishing in said Letart Spring, in said county, with seines or nets of any descrij 'ion, shall forfeit and pay the sum of'ten dollars for every such offence.'' By tha wording of this section it would appear that act extending it to Mifflin county, not only prohibits net and seine fi-u --ing for trout in the tributaries af the Juniata. but for ail oifier Ji.sh —in short, it prohibits net and seine fishing altogether in those wa ters, except with the approbation of the laud owners, on whom it now rests to permit it.— As spring is the time when most fish ascend the waters of the different streams for the purpose of spawning, it is the very time of year w hen such fi*h ought not to be caught: and we have no doubt should the act be faith fully carried out for a few years, the Kisha coquillas, Jack's, and other streams would s oaagain be alive with suckers, fall fish, ic. ! - Tor the LewUtowr.

I Mr. Editor —Having taken a etroll into the j country last week on one of those fine days in I'ursuit of pigeons, it brought me into that j romantic place, Dry Valley, whose inhabi tants are noted for that kind openheartedness which makes the stranger feel at home; and and as it wastheevc of the exhibition of twoof their public schools, I was invited to witness the performance, to whielf I readily consent ed, having had the pleasure of being present at a Sabbath School Exhibition at the same place last fall, of which 1 gave you an ac- j count at the time. Public Schools in the • country being conducted on rattier a louse j system as a general thing, 1 did not expect ] much, but was most agreeably disappointed, the arrangement throughout being admirable, ! reflecting much credit on the teachers, Messrs. S Creighton and T. G. Bell, who I learn are j held in high repute as such, and judging! frwm the masterly performance of the scholars they are deserving. The school met in Dry Valley M. E. Church which was decorated with much taste by tho ' girls of the Valley, and to enliven the scene ! The performance was intermixed with soDgs, : accompanied with music from the melodeon, which was performed by Miss 11. Alexander and Miss Hoover—the latter for skill of per- i formauee and melody of voice beiDg hard to excel. But sir the whole thing was excellent, there were sixty pieces, Dialogues, Rceita- ; tions and Addresses, spoken by the scholars in a masterly manner, and listened to by at least four hundred people with perfect order. : SPECTATOR. jpy" P.. nut forget the meeting on Monday ' evening. eaHI. s.

His good genius, however, did not desert him, fur a friend of his brought him a couple of large boxes and pots of llolloway's Pills and Ointment, which he thankfully accepted, and commenced using, the result was perfectly miraculous, for in | two weeks he was able to get up, and could see and hear well; at the expiration of a month he was perfectly cured and able to re- I sume his work.
