The following is the corrertpil official vote for the delegates to Congress for Oregon Territory : For Lane, Democrat ..... 6,17S t accomplished gentlemen in aine position relatively to the MIIIU that the President does to the Army. What woul he said if President PIERCE tvonld flood the ccu try with some thirty or forty thousand aids-de-cafi 4 with the rank of I.ieut Colonel.' 1 rather thijk that the youngest giaduafe of West Point, or tie greenest appointments in the new Regiments, woiti laugh at it—and 1 am quite sure that not a gentiitl would present arms to them. These appoinfrneits by the Governor are a positive NUISANCE— BL RLESQI E upon the Militia—and an insult to tie Regimental Officer. The title is degraded. "Col nel" and "Dunderhead" have become synony mot? terms. It is due to our VOLUN TEERS that tfe Legislature should enact a law rescinding the Cott mi-sions now- issued, and limiting the number (if i ny are allowed, which 1 consider unnecessary) hereafter to two, or at most three." SOMERSET COI\TV. 017" This County done better, perhaps, at the lae election, (allthings considered,) than any other coui ty in Pennsylvania, except, perhaps, Lancaster aid Allegheny. Somerset used to give its 17 and IStO federal majority, but one year's reign of Know XoH tngium has brought it down to an average majority ot about 200, notwithstanding the large ralculatiais of our friend, Col. Euik, made in Bedford last Au gust. We can account for this handsome result n two ways . lt. 'The "Democrat," under the editorial contnl ofC. F. MrtctiEi.L, Esq., proved itself one of tie most efficient papers iri the Commonwealth, its origi nal articles cutting like a two edged sword, and car rying conviction wherever they reached a con-oiei tmus tnan —and, 2d. The influence of Judge Kim mem., and his friends, convinced hundreds of K. N's of thar error, and induced them to turn their batteries - gainst those with whom they acted la>t year. We cannot but look upon the conduct of our Presideit Judge, in so manfully and so boldly expressing his ; litter detestation of this DISREPUTABLE organiza tion, with the highest admiration arid esteem, as ur are satisfied does the entire Democracy of the State, as well as a large number of old line Whigs who re- j fused to how at the feet of this great agent in prt motmg the kingdom of Satan, llis patriotism acil i love of country will not soon be forgotten by an en- j lightened and law abiding People. There is no tru-t in thi.i goverment with which we would not entrust Judge Kim MEM. —ami higher honors than a District Judge are in reserve for hitn. 'XJf*'The premiums awarded at the Late Agri cultural Fair will be found on the first page— ; ind, ol course, u ill prove interesting to the put- ■ lie generally.

An Incidkvt.—A few mrmttrs since a lady belong ing to thi< city went to New York and pu trip at one of the Broadway hotel. Alter going to her room for the night,she took out her pocket book and watch, laid them on the table, and then sat down to read.— While engaged in reading she thought she heard breathing from some one apparently near by, but finally concluded it must be imagination. Soon after she commenced making preparations to retire, and in adjusting her hair she dropped one of her hair pins. While stooping to pick it up she di>rovered a hat under the bed, and a c!o-e ob-ervation revealed to her sight the full-length figure of a man. With out evincing any emotion she threw a shawl over her shoulders, went out of the room, locked the door af ter her, and stepping into the hall, she rang a bell which snmmoned to her assistance the proprietors, who called in the assistance of a police ofiicer and the intruder was arrested. There was found on the prisoner a hottle of chloroform. He >vas convicted on the testimony of the lady, and sent to the state prison six months. The sequel to the whole was the dropping of the hair pin New Haven Jo nrnal HORRIBLE MURDER. j A correspondent at Dndglassville sends us j the particulars of a horrible murder, committed ' on Wednesday night, on the person of .Mrs. ; Hannah Shingle, a widow lady about 60 years | old, residing in North Coventry township, I Chester county, one and a half mires south of j L nionville. The house was entered bv means of a ladder placed against a window in the sec- I ond story, and if appears that the murdered wo j man was down stairs when the murderer uas climbing in the window above. She went up to see what was wrong, taking her axe with her, as she was accustomed to do. Upon com ing to (he head of the stairs, she was met hy Ihe villain, when a desperate struggle ensued. He pushed her to a bed which was near bv, suc ceeded in taking the axe from her, hit hi-r some five or six times across the head, and killed her almost instantly. She was undoubtedly killed on supposition that she had money on the house, as the murderer rifled everything in the house, where he supposed money could have been con cealed : even an old clock case downstairs, was broken open. One ot the neighbors states that she was ill the habit of putting money some times iu the clock. The murderer succeeded in getting all the money she had, with the ex ception of S") 12:3 which was found in one cor uer ot tfie Bureau. As yet, suspicion rests up on no one : and the villain is still at large. Mrs. Sfi tngle was living entirely alone upon her pro- j perty, and had done so lor some years.— Read- j ins* Gazette. FATAL RExoorxTitr:.— A rencontre took place on th" 16th iosl., near V\ alterboro', ColMon District, in which Job Benton was instantly killed bv Pinckev W bite, the weajwn used be ins: a gun, loaded with buckshot. White has been committed to jail to await his trial. White's mother and two sisters have also been •arrested—one of the sisters a little cr irl, as wit ness, the others as accessories. The cause of the crime is alledeed to have been slander ol White and his mother by Benton. White voluntarily surrendered himself to the Sheriff immediately alter having committed the deed. —Charleston (N.. C.) Courier. Inauguration of Gov. Andrew Johnson. Tin- inauguration of the Hon. Andrew John son as Governor of Tennessee took place on the 23J inst. Upon taking the oat!) of office, Gov. Johnson delivered the following patriotic ad dress : Gentlemen of the Semite, of the House of Rep resentatives, and Fellow-Citizens : It is not my purpose ou the present occasion to make an address to you. Two years ago I presented, in the form of an inaugural address, mV views in regard to national and Slate policy which I thought then ought to be pursued, and would now, if it were necessary, reiteiale and j endorse them as being sound and correct. — j They were my views and sentiments then, they ! are mine now, and I have been confirmed in 1 them by relief two and expejience. The lea- I ding and fundamental principle* of Democracy i were then laid down, constituting, as they do, j the lour great cardinals of my political creed. They are inherent and self-existing in the na ture of man, and will cease to exist only with man's total annihilation from the earth. They were taught and practised by the Founder oi our holy religion, and they will have followers and advocates so long as His precepts and ex - j ample are respected and received by the civil ized world as being of Divine origin. The Democratic party of the nation is now passing through a severe and trying ordeal, contending with an enemy tjj.it cone s as a thieJ in the night, cautious and subtle in its approach, noiseless 1:1 its footsteps, and swift in its pro gress ; in its transitory pause exerting an iniiu ! ence upon the morals, religion, and politics of j the country, as withering and deadly in its el- I feet as the poisonous emission of the Upas tree lisup m ail animal life, But Democracy has I heretofore passed similar ordeals; and it will, I as I confidently believe, as it, lias done on for mer occasions, rise from the present contest purer and stronger than at auy former period of our country's history. The people have heard the struggle that lias been going on ; they have been aroused to a sense of the great danger that surrounds and threatens our institutions ; tiiev ; are in their might coming up to the rescue, and will save the couriti v and preserve the consti j tution from a practical violation of some of its | most essential piovisions. Democracy knows, and it is to be expected, too, that every plan, effort, and undertaking that has a tendency to improve and to elevate the great mass of trie people, is naturally incli ned "o excite the illwili and opposition of those in possession of considerable learning, wealth and power, or those who contend for undue a i vantages over their fellow men. It is impor tant, therefore, always lo b'-ar in n ind, that ' whatever tends substantially to benefit the com mon people will be generally viewed with hos ! tility by the pseudo aristocracy of the country. Hence, genuine Christianity and Democracy ; both originate with, and have mainly been sup ported by, men of humble origin, circumstances, : and situations, whom those puffed up with un due wealth,assumed learning, power, rank, and authority, generally profess to despise ibr their low birth, poverty and ignorance. Anything which has a tendency to promote i genuine civilization, Christianity, and Democ racy, is most in accoidance with the interests and feelings of the mass of the people. VVe must, therefore, look to them chiefly for an im pulse or true sense of equal justice and fellow feelings, and for whatever imports a common good, or the promotion of justice, hnmanitv, prosperity, and happiness to mankind in gen } eral. V irtup and intelligence, talent and genuine learning, honest industry, economy, and real merit, combined with a heart that loves its kind, ]of whatever clime, tongue, or condition, con stitute the onlv aristocracy that can ever com mand and receive the respect and admiration of the American people. An aristocracy like this has my prefounrl respect, and no other lias, ft is principles and sentiments iike these which enable the patriot and philanthropic to ex claim, in sincerity and truth, that the world is my home, and that every honest man is my brothir. In assuming the heavy responsibilities of a second gubernatorial terra, I must be permitted to state that I have, or feel that 1 have, p. r formed every duty which has been imposed on me hy law and the constitution with strict fidelity : and do now enter upon the second term, as I did two years ago upon the first, with a fixed and unalterable determination to discharge every duty growing out of my official station with punctuality and strict justice to all. It is with no ordinary pleasure that f avail my self of this occasion to fender one time more to the sovereign people of the State n'V unfeigned gratitude for this additional evidence of their confidence in trie as a man and public servant. I will and, in conclusion, that the people have never deserted me, and, God being willing, I will never desert them. DISCOVCRY'OF DIAMONDS IN VA. —On Monday, the 27th of August, a most singular discoveiv of two diamonds was made at "Dudley's Ferry," King and Queen county, the residence of Will iam Blocks', Esq., A correspondent of the Richmond Whig details the circumstances of the discovery of these diamonds, which are in deed somewhat remarkable. It appears that as a Mr. Taylor was engaged sawing the timbers for a boat, out of an <>ak root his saw struck some hard substance, which, upon being punch ed out and examined, was found to be a dia mond of the size of a black eyed pea—shortly after a smaller one was also found iri the same root. The teeth of both saws were knocked out by the contact. The oak tree to which this root belonged was probably a hundred arid fifty years old, and was growing a few weeks ago in the ground bordering upon a swamp upon Mr. H.'s [dace. These diamonds were in shape octahedron, as i most diamonds are in their natural state—of! course they cut glass finely and were transit)- : cid, apparently of'the first water. When found j they were imbedded two or three inches from ■ the surface of the root, causing a defect in the wood of it for some distance around. Can any one state another instance of a diamond being found as these were, buried in a root beneath the ground, probably for nearly a hundred and fifty years? It will be remembered that about a year ago, a laboier, while digging in the streets of Man chester, just opposite Richmond, discovered a diamond a few feet below the surface of the earth, which proved to be one of enormous size, and \vas valued at some four or five thousand dolijrs. Connect the recent discovery with the one of last year, and it would seem that there are many of these precious stones imbed ded in the soil of old Virginia.— Petersburg Erpress. Desir uc.lt re ConJlugraliun—Several I.ires Losl and a number qf Persons fl out)ded.— We learn from Leonard's Worcester Express, that about 9£ o'clock this forenoon, fire broke out in the basement of the large five story fac tory building in CordaviMe, Southboro, ami that as the train from Worcester passed the spot a few minutes after lt> o'clock, the ruol aud a portion of the walls of the building-bad fallen in, and the whole structure was a mass of burn ing and smouldering ruins. The factory building was over one hundred feet in length, and about fifty in width, live sto ries in height, and was owned hv M. H. San ford, Esq., and occupied by the Coriiaville Man ufacturing Company. The flames communicated with a saw mill, dry house, and other buildings, ali of which were destroyed, and the depot building on the j Worcester Railroad was in imminent danger of sharing the same fate at the time the train pass ed. The saddest part of the story is, that in their fright, alter the alarm of fire was given, some J of the operatives in the factory leaped from the tipper windows, and at least, three of the num ber were killed almost instantly, while several others had their iimls fractured, and were oth erwise injured. Upon the train reaching Framingham, infor mation of the calamity was given, and two phy sicians immediately left for the scene ol the melancholy catastrophe. Physicians liom Natick also repaired toCor daville upon learning of the calamity.—Bos i ion Journt be mistaken," savs the German : "I have owned the horse for three years."
