SANSOM, of the Fulton De mocrat, was in town this week. He is a candidate lor Sergeant-at-Arrns, and has warm friends in eve ry part of the State. His chances lor success seem to stand No. 1. GEN. HUMPHREYS, of Cambria, is also a can didate. He held the post year before last: and made a courteous and efficient oliicer. VYe regret that we have two candidates in the same District—especially two such clever fellows. RATHER IXSAVOttI. K7*The Philadelphia Metes, of last Friday, gives utterance to the following sentiment. The Xews, it Will be remembered; is a K. N. paper—and is one aji the number in whose "no-trils Know Xotbingism STINKS," but still hangs to the Order! The Edi tor must love sweet smells, e-pecially as he wishes to add "Republicanism" to the odor of which he com plains : "The truth of the matter is, as we have repeated ly asserted, Know Nothingisin is in extreme baj odor; it slinks it the nostrils ol all who do not belong to the Order, and of a vast number who do; ami )u-t so long as American principles are attempted to be curried but through the agency of Know Nothing Councils, so long will the attempt prove a signal lad lire." WHO WOULD BELIEVE: IT ? OS** By the last Cha.nbersburg Repository and Whig (the lire eater in opposing Know Xothiiigism last summer,) we learn that CM.. McCi.lek has transferred all his right, title, and interest to the Transcript, (K. N.) whose editor he so vehemently denounced last fall, and whose paper he stigmatized as the "little croaker. " The Colonel's valedictory does not say a word against the midnight enemy to his country he so lately fought, but woos it like a sucking dove! He promises that the "tone of the paper in future will do no violence" to the IS/t/g" who stood by him in h.s late bold efforts to crush out the oath-bound conspirators ! If the Repository does '•no violence in future" to the anli-Know-Nothing Whigs it will war the K. N's to the bitter end. but we don't believe any sucb thing, neither do we be lieve the gallant Colonel does. Should his declaration prove true, however, we will take eany occasion to make the fact known. Messrs. I.vsteu and ( nooi.sq his successors, are polished gentlemen in their persoti al relations, and eloquent writers, but the political sentiments of the former, as promulgated through the Transcript, are revolting to every principle upon which our government is based. Ha may do better. We hope he will. THE JFG LAW. [{jjr~Aa ice predicted, the jog Law turns out to be a perfect farce. Nobody regards it—and in nearly every case of indictment the Bills are ignored. Those who got drunk before its pas sage, get drunk still—and every lover of the article rinds easy access to the Bottle. Legis lative enactment may mitigate, in some degree, the great evils of intemperance, but it can nev er eradicate them, and every over-stringent act that is passed, will only add to the genera! deg radation emanating from the use at intoxicating Liquors. It is moral and not political Reforms to which we are to look for a cure to this scourge, which has destroyed its millions, and will destroy its millions more, because men love "darkness rather than !i;rht." There never was and never will be any honesty in political Temperance movements, and we shall never tail to oppose them with a!! the ability we pos sess. If those .Ministers wl o have spent their time in promulgating the horrid and wicked doctrines of Know-Notbingism, counselling men to take an oath which binds them to perpe trate falsehood, had spent their time in giving Christian advice to the poor inebriate, Temper ance would he a thousand fold further advanced than it is to-day. What! convert men into Heathens, by swearing them to violate the Constitution under which they live, and then invite them to a Temperance festival What a mockery Col. MCCLI'RK, of the Chambershurg Whig, "breathes freer" under the belief that he has not entirely lost his reputation. \\ e are glad to hear he has a little left, for the man who would denounce a certain organization as the "most wicked of the wicked"—RlDTPbLE them whilst smarting under their D FIFE A i'—and immediately afterwards turn round and court them, we should suppose would he rather des titute of any kind of reputation ! it is said the hold Col. is to become the ORGAN the Ad ministration at Harrishurg. If so, we may look for verv discordant music front that quarter. friend, TRAUCH, of the Ilollidavs burg Standard, we are pleased to observe, has been appointed by the Canal Commissioners Cargo Inspector at that place. We congratu late him upon this slight testimonial of regard, but could have wished that lie had received a much better appointment. Mr. T. is one of the reliable men of the Commonwealth, and pub lishes a paper equal to any in the country. We hope his services will b" properly appreciated in the future, for they certainly have not in j days gone by, or he would have been invited ; by-the Canal Hoard to occupy positions on the j Portage road heretofore given to men of no in- j iluence, and unworthy the name of Democrat. ; The appointments by the Canal Commissioners this year have given general satisfaction. We • never had a better Canal Board than the pre- j sent. ISAAC liver*, of Somerset, will be warmly supported for next State Treasurer.— He is true Democrat and would fill the office with honor and dignity. FROM NEBRASKA —A letter from Col. Man ners to the Surveyor General of Nebraska, \ states that the surveys in that Territory have been discontinued in consequence of the hostil- j ities of the Pawnee Indians. They pulled up all the posts set upon the north side of the riv- j er, threatened to destroy all landmarks, and i said that every man of the party who did not | leave hv noon should be shot. ADJUTANT GEIIUL QUESTION.: Attempted Usurpation oj Gov. pollock UIS REBIkE! In consequence of the many efforts made in BED- ; FORD COUNTY, especialt?, toprejudice usinthe eyes ; of our immediate neighbors, for the course we adopt- i ed in refusing to yield to Gov. POLLOCK'S appoint- ! ment of Adjutant General, made, as we conceived. and as the fact turned out, in violation of the plain j letter of the Lair, we trust we will not be consider ed vain in laying before our readers, through our own columns, a few ot the many evidences that have ap- : peared in almost every part of the Commonwealth in i justification of the position we assumed. The extracts which follow were witten in endorse ment of an article which appeared in the Philadel- i phia Pennsylvani-an, immediately after the decision of the Supreme Court, which we published with an explanatory note, and are from the most distinguish ed papers in the Commonwealth. Such tokens ot friendship, in such quarters, are more to be valued than ifap mere emoluments of office ; and our object in putting tbem upon record, ut home, is merely to j show the malicious character ot those who have i made it their business to misrepresent this question: We copy the above article from t'.ie Bedford tm zctte, ot the 2d instant. In the note appended be Gen. Bo v.mian he makes a clear and very satisfactory e.v planation of the mueh-talked-of omission on his part to file the requisite bond. We are glad to be able to lay this explanation before the public, as it will place the General right, and go far to show the flimsy pre text ori which the present Executive sought to de prive him ot his office. \ Pennsylvania never had a better Adjutant General I than Gko. W. Bowman. He has been courteous, en ' ergetic, and punctual in alt his official transactions, and no man in the Commonwealth can say that be ever either neglected his duties, or used his po ition i otherwise than fairly and honorably. For the de termined stand he took against the attempted usur pation of power by the piesent Know-Nothing Admin istration he deserves the thanks ol the Democracy everywhere. It was no? tor pecuniary gain that he refu-ed to vacate his place for a renegade, because the salary of the office is a mere nothing; neither via- it lor the love of popularity, as he hail already gained more honor for his services in the office dur ing the Mexican war. than will be attached to tiie Adjutant General's position for a scoie of year- to come; but it was to show to the "powers that be" that they could not step outside of the law to reward those Who had aided tri elevating thcin .—Harrisbarg j Patriot and Union. ! We give place, with much pleasuie, to the above ! complete vindication of Gen. Bowman, who, as we [last week remarked, has been an honest, faithful and deserving otlicer. Having strictly complied with the requirements of the law, 111 regard to his official ' bend, he i-justly entitled to his salary, and should the ! pre-ci.t State Treasurer decline to pay the money ap propriated to his u-e hv the last Legislature, we are ! well satisfied the nest Legislature will lose 110 'ime i in making provision for its payment. Gen. bow : man has never been a cut no rani <>i the people's money. ! On the contrary, he has invariably refused to receive a dollar more than his regular fees of office. Alter ! the organization of the Troops for Mexico, the Legis lature offered to htm a handsome compensai'pn lor his | valuable extra services, but with a disinterestedness j as creditable as it is rare, he declined the offer.— ! Many of our Berks County Volunteers know him personally, and vie hear hut one op nion from them i of his courtesy as an officer, and constant efforts to ' please them in all things compatible with bis posi ■ tion.— Reading Crasetle and Democrat* TIN: QCKSTION SETTLED.—We publish an article ' from the Petimi/ivauinn upon the Adjutant General | case, uitlinii explanatory note from (fen. Bowman, which settles that long mooted question, "Who l.s ' Adjutant General V' 'l'o displace Gen. Bowman was one of the first acts ; of Gov. Pollock, and this first act of a Know-Not b ! ii.g Governor was a usurpation of power. Gen. Bow man being a clearer headed and better legal man : than bis excellency, and being ol sterner stuff - than Mr. Pollock and his know nothing friends supposed | him to be, took a inanl v and determined stand against j this infraction of the law, and has taught Mr. Pol ! lock a lesson which will be a warning beacon to him j and all other usurpers of power, j Gen. Bowman has tilled the office of Adjutant : General under different Democratic Executives, with distinguished ability, and bis manly resistance a j gainst the attempted usurpation of power by the pre j sent Thug Governor, is a matter of no ordinary im portance, and distinguishes the General a a man of ability and nerve.— Johnston Echo. ' AnjL'T.iNT Gexecal BOVVM AS. —Some attempts i have been made to create a fai-e impression in re ; 'ration to the gentleman whose name stands at the bead; and we believe our readers have perused with ! -atisfaction the articles heretofore republished in the 1 T~nio>i, which present ttie true rharacter of the deci sion made in his case by ihe Supreme Court. Gen. i Bowman is a bold and vigorous advocate of Derrio ! cratic principles, and one who maintains his own o j pinions with uncompromising perseverance. His manly a-=au!t against Know Xothingism made him ari object of the deadly hate of the present State ad mir.i-tralion ; it was willing to adopt any measures, however unwarrantable, to cru,h him. But lie has ■. triumphed over the miserable artifices of the Kxeru j tivc, ai d stands nn-cathed and secured from calumny. 1 —Pittsburgh Union. The Bedford Gazette, of which paper Adjutant j General BOWMAN is editor, copies the above remaik i ot the Pennsnlvaniau, and appends the following in explanation ot the tiling ot his'illiciai bend. We are ! glad that thin controveisy as to who is the legal Ad jutant General of trie State, ha- been settled by the highest legal tribunal. At the time Gov. POLI.OCK appointed POWER to this position, we spoke of theap i pointrneut as being ilit-ga], and we are convinced j that Gov. Pollock knew this himself. For the pur j pose of tickling "Democratic Know Nothings," he ! was induced to appoint a man to an office not in hi*gift \ to enable k. n. editors to prate about the Governor's libeiality toward democrats who had lurned traitor to their party to join Infidel Know Nothingisrn. This j was the object in view when Gov. Pollock dared to appoint Power to an office contrary to and in the face of The laws of the State. A Greater piece of decep tion was never attempted, but it is on a par with most of the acts of our present weak and contempti ble administration.— Carlisle Volunteer. ! GEN. BOW-MAN.—In to-day's paper will be found ; two able articles from the Bedlord Gazette in rela tion to the Adjutant Generalship, and ail w ho remem ber the services ot Gen. Bowman during the Mexi can war, will rejoice that he has been so fully sus tained, not only by the Supreme Court, but bv the calm, honest expression of PUBLIC OPINION. Gen. Piowman has made the most efficient Adju tant General Pennsylvania ever had, a fact generally admitted. The attempt to wrest the office from him has been soundly condemned. The salary of the of fice is meagre, and does not pay him for the trouble. We hope, however, that his back pay may be forth coming. It is his by every lule of right and justice. Somerset Democrat. Wrongs of Publishers. We have a deep conviction, that without any inconvenience to themselves, or injustice to honest subscribers, the Deputy Post masters might greatly contribute to the interests of Newspaper publishers. Under existing regu lations the editor is simply informed that his paper sent to a certain office, directed to A. 8., is not called for. The officer is generally fa miliar with the circumstances and whereabouts of the subscriber, and we can see no good reason why he should not tell us whether Mr. A. 15. is dead or alive—whether he or his es tate, is, in the Post Master's opinion, responsi ble or iriesponsible—whether he has removed, and if so, to what post-office—if dead, who his Executors or Administrators are, &.c. The form of the blank notices now used by the Dep uty Post Masters, could be so altered as to an swer the purpose without any additional expense —and we hold that the change is due to the editorial fraternity, who, as a class, are the best abused, poorest paid, and worst defrauded set of subjects in Uncle Sam's dominions. If the reform requires an act of Congress, let us see to it, that it be passed during the next ses sion. Editors have no little to do with making Congressmen, and have a right to ask tor just protective laws in return. If as we suppose, it is within tjie power of the Post Master Geneial to remedy the evil, we trust that our Democrat ic brethren of the press will urge upon the De partment the propriety and justice of issuing the proper order immediately. Harnsburg Tele graph. LATEST FROM EUROPE. We have news from Europe one week later, by the arrival, at New York on Thursday, of the steamer Pacific. The London Times con tinues its warlike articles against the United States, and has managed to create an extraordi nary excitement in England, so that it was ru mored '.hat an actual rupture had taken place between the two countries, and that the Amer ican miaist°r was about to leave. The latter report is contradicted by Mr. Buchanan himself. When the allied fleets withdrew from Odessa, the most of the Russian troops there were marched hack (o Nicholaielf, and the fugitive inhabitants returned. The liners ol the fleet at Kinburn had left there io make a reconnois sance of Cherson. The fort and town of Kin burn were still occupied bv If), 000 allied troops. The allied gunboats have been up tiie Bug to make a recmnoissance. (General Cod ring! on lias bean appointed commander of the British forces in the Crimea. A beliel pe varied that the Russians meditate an attack upon the allied positions at and about Sebastopol. Lord Pan mure telegraphed the information to General Simpson, and for many nights the troops slept on their arms. It was also owing to this cause that the advance of the allied troops was coun termanded, and the forces recalled to their for mer positions. The Allies are repairing and arming Sebastopol, and keep up a desultory fire against the north side of the harbor. An article in the London Times savs that the main body of both armies of tiie Allies will at once go into winter quarters, and that the operations lor the expulsion of the Russians from Ihe Crimea are abandoned f>r the season. At the same time that the allied fleet in the Sea of Azof]'destroy ed Taman and Funagina, it made a successful demonstration against Temriouk. The object of the expedition was not only to deprive the Russian troops of shelter during the winter, but also to procure materials for housing tiie allied forces at Cape St. Paul and Yenikale. They des'royed and carried of! large quantities of building materials, and found about seventy disabled guns. From the Baltic fleet the news is tiiat some English ships had effected recon noissatices in the Gulf of Peroau. A number of Russian coasting ships had been burned, anil a steamer bad bombarded the batteries of Gamla- Carlebv. A trifling engagement had occurred at Bernalhem between a few Russian soldiers and some English marines from the corvettes Archer and Desperate, which resulted in the retreat of the Russians, and the demolition of the Custom House by the victors. Several of the ships had suffered from storms. The Eng lish fleet, which recently numbered one hun dred and four vessels, is now reduced to fifty, while only two French ships remain. The re mainder of the squadron is withdrawing from Nargen to Kiel. HIE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS Fuller returns of the recent State elections correct a good many of the lying telegraphic reports ami leave the Know-Nothings, aftetf ail their noise and bluster, very little to rejoice over. They have Massachusetts, always an anti-Democratic State: Maryland, generally the same: and New-York, bv a mere plurality, which the combined vote of the two divisions ol tfie Democratic party far ontnumbers. On the other side, the Democrats have triumphant ly carried, by a clear majority over all oppo nents New-Jersev, Louisiana, Mississippi, am! W iseonsin. Massachusetts.—The full returns of the vote for Governor in Massachusetts have Ivm received, and show the following result : For Gardner, K. V, hi,787: Rockwell Republi can 36.789: Wallv, Whig, 13,4-70; Beach, Democrat, 35,018. Tlie Daily . Jo'vertiser counts the representa tives elected to the Massachusetts legislature a$ 15° Know-Nothings, 58 Whigs, 3:2 Democrats, 66 Republicans (freesoilers,) 5 Liberals—ma ; king a united opposition of 161, and 3 majority ; against the Know-Nothings. M ississiE-ri.— VVe have news from Washing ton, on the authority of despatches from Jack son, that all the Democratic members of Con gress, in Mississippi are elected. The Leg is Ia- I tore is also Democratic, by 30 majority. The Democratic State ticket has a majority of 5000. W iscoxsrx.—The last telegraphic despatch j es represented the contest in this State as verv j close, and favored the success of the Knoiv i Nothings. But the Chicago limes of the 9th ! puts that matter straight by a reliable letter from .Madison, which states that sufficient re turns have been received to insure the re-elec tion of Governor William A. Barstow, by a ma jority, in all probability, equal to what it was j two years ago. Cn an Lit" ton Mrxictrxr. Election.—The mu nicipal election in Charleston, S.

For a mere trifle of four cents a week any one ran become a subscriber to a newspaper arid this amount is so small that even the poor est can afford to take the paper. The gratifica tion and pleasure its persual brings—even if an occasional paragraph not exactly suited to all tastes tinds its way into the paper—will amply repay the subscriber for the trifling expenditure. And yet, says the K< ading Gazettr, how many there are, who think they cannot afford to take a paper. Let all such, whenever they feel in clined to throw away a penny or a three-pence uselessly, just put it aside in a little box, or in the corner pf their bureau drawer, and see how soon they will have the amount of a year's sub scription saved. A newspaper is useful to eve ry man, and every family, and often is the means of benefiting the subscriber to twenty or fifty times its cost. The description of a coun terfeit note, has saved many an one from loss. A knowledge of the markets, has enabled many a farmer to realize from $lO to SSO, and some times SIOO more on the sale of his produce.— The publication of some valuable recipe for housekeepers or mechanics, has been worth an incalculable sum in numerous instances we could name. An advertisement of lands or personal property for sale, lias assisted many a subscri ber to purchase just what he wanted, at a price much below his calculation. And so on, in a thousand cases, is the newspaper of use and j value. Who would be without it when it can jbe had fur four cents a week—l alf a cent a i day. DOUBLE- IIE A DEII iIIKDfIOISAI. Hon. Mr. Slidell, United States Senator j from Louisiana, in replying to an invitation to ! be present at a Democratic festival at Baltimore, thus shows up the inconsistency of Know-Noth ingism : "Look at Massachusetts: there Abolitionism,! religious persecution and the most galling sys-' tern ol social espionage and despot ism, under the garb of temperance, go hand in hand.— From the pulpits, instead of the meek and per-j suasive toueg of Christian pastors, inculcating 'the pure and unpretending morali'v of the Gos i pel, peace on earth and good will towards men, ! are hurled Ihe defiant and angry denunciations |of wily demagogues and excited partisans.— I May God long avert the day when the mon strous cemhination of the politician and the priest, whether Protestant or Catholic, shall find luvor with the masses of the American people! There the 1,100 anti-Wbiaska preacheis thun der forth their anathemas against the abomina tions ol the lewd woman of Babylon, the type! ol the Scarlet Prostitute of Rome. But what .-ay their affiliated lodges in Louisiana, where Catholics form so large a portion of the consti tuency ? They 'roar you as gently as sucking doves.' 'I here, forsooth, opposition to Catholo cism is no part of the Knovc-JVothing creed.— They assert boldly, and attempt to prove that j religious proscription is not one of the watch- j j words of their order. Tin y appeal to their j ticket, and point complacently to their Catholic ■ candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Treasurer, as conclusive refutation of the j j baseless slander." Thus, it seems that whilst the Hindoos of j Massachusetts appoint boorish committees to ransack the apartment in Catholic female senii ! nanes, and insult the lady teachers, their bietli j t en of Louisiana select Catholics as their candi- j | dates for the highest offices in the State ! and ; j why I because a majority of the people of Lou isiana are Catholics, and they wish to secure ! their votes.— Philadelphia jlrgus. CCTTINO A House's THROAT— Jirrest of the Cut-Throat—Bloody Conjlict, and rescue of the Prisoner. —Yesterday afternoon, the atten tion of High Constable Scott, of Allegheny, was attracted by a large ciowd on Ro boson | street, and on making inquiry he learned itut a ! man named Robert (or "loafer") Bell, in corn- j | pany with two others, had assaulted a wagoner, j i who fled and took refuge in a house : and that i j _ O ; Bell, being chagrined at the escape of the man, : bad vented his malice by cutting the throat ol j the horse with a dirk-knife. Officer Scott started in pursuit of Bell, and I surprised him while sitting on lite bank of the | Allegheny river, below the outlet of the canal. Bell had his knife open in Iris right hand, and on recognizing the officer, fie sprang to his feet, and attempted to slab hirn. Scott ran back- I wards until he could draw his mace, when he tapped Bell on the head, and knocked him down. The blow was so slight tiiat Bell so >n recovered, and made a second attack, when a • - i tremendous blow Irom the mace brought Imn senseless to the ground. The officer then took j i the knife, and called upon the citizens to aid ! ; him, as he did not u ish to injure the man fur- ; titer. The crowd refused to assist, and b gan to j mutter about the biutality of the constable.— , During the brief time that here elapsed, Bell again recovered, and though bleeding profusely, ! he made a desperate attack upon the officer; with a paving stone, was struck with tiie mace and felled a third time. On recovering, Bell agreed to go to the lock-up peaceably, and they started together ; but before they had proceeded , the distance of a square, the prisoner attempted 'to escape, and was again knocked down. The crowd here began to sympathize with the pris oner, and w hen the officer started with him, he was assailed by a volley of paving stones, none of which took effect. He vi as then beset in the rear, his ariris were held, and the prisoner per mitted to run. At this juncture he drew a re volver, and presented it at the breast of the ring-leader as be was about hurling a stone, ! when the white-livered villain screamed most piteously, "Oh, for (mil's sake don't shoot don't shout—we'll throw no more!" But j "snap" went th- pistol, the barrel of which had sliglitlv turned, so as to prevent the hammer j j from falling upon the cap. The dastardly whelp, ! finding himself still alive took to his heels and all tiie rest followed closely on his - trail. On turning to look tor the prisoner, the offi ! cer was mortified to find that lie had got beyond ; his reach. Bell was seen on the west Common, about: 1 dusk in the evening, covered with blood from i head to foot. He is a notorious villain, anil i has been for many years. He will, no doubt, vet be taken, and we hope those who assisted in j his rescue will also meet with merited punish ment. The man who owned the horse became so j terrified on witnessing the affray, that he fl ii, and has not yet made known his name, ft is thought that the horse will die. Pittsburgh Union. Dreadful Explosion on the Central Railroad, Gu. - We regret to record a frightful disaster that occured on the Central Railroad, near station ' U2J,, about 2 o'clock, P. M, Wednesday lat.— We have taken special pains to get the (acts, and the following slatement may be relied on. j The engine, Maryland, attached to sixteen cars, and on her downward trip, stopped at the sta tion above named, for wood and water. Soon * after starting again, her boiler exploded with a terrible crash, killing instantly the engineer and 1 fireman, and seriously scalding the braketnan on j the tender. The road in the in mediate neigh- : borhood of the accident was torn up for some one hundred yards, and several cars damaged— to what extent we have been unable to learn. The locomotive was thrown forward at least one hundred feet from the point where the ex- | plosion occurred, and landed crosswise on the j track. It is said to be a complete wreck, though built of the best material, arid perfectly ; ; sound before the accident. It was ma mi factor- ■ ed by Baldwin, of Philadelpdia, and been in i . the service of the road about four years. The enginerr.an, whose name was Kelly, was , found lying by the side of the locomotive: j while the fireman, Mr. Barns, was blown high | in the air, and fell about two hundred yards in , advance of the train. The name of the brakes- j ] man, we learn, is Michael Slienahan ; though , severely injured, hopes are entertained lor his , recovery. He was also blown dp and lodged ; on the third freight car from the tender. j ( From the most reliable information v could gather, it would appear that this frightful ac | cident was caused by the carelessness of I he en gineman, in allowing the water in the boiler to become exhausted, and then turning i a stream ;of cold water upon a highly heated furnace.— |He has paid the penally with hi# life. The loss i to the Company is estimated at some li,OOU. A Remarkable Man. A correspondent of the Kentucky Statesman ; gives the following sketch of an old citizen in Paiaski county, named Elijah Deny, who is perhaps the oldest man in Kentucky : ''He was one hundred and eighteen years of age on the 10th of September, and is as active as many men of foi ty. He works daily upon a farm, and throughout his whole life has been an early riser. He informed the writer that he had never drank hut one cup of coffee, and ! that was in the year 184*8. lie served seven years in the war of the Revolution, and was wounded at the siege of Charleston : he was al so at the siege ol Savannah, and in the bat'; .• Eutaw Springs, lie was also pns nt at \ |'battles off Jamden, K ing : s mountain, and Men* s Corner. He served under Colonel Marion, and was an eye witness to the sufi<-rings arid death of Colonel Isaac Hayne, of South Carolina, an early victim to the revolution. He is spright ly and active, and would be taken at any tune to be a man of middle age. He is a strict nem | ber of the Baptist Church, and rides six mil' s |to every regular meeting ol his- church. He : has lout sons and five daughters—all lining— the eldest being now in his sevnd v-eighth and ; the youngest in his fii'ty-fir-t year. Such is a bi ief sketch of this aged soldier and republican, who is perhaps the only surviving soldier ol Francis Marion, Sumptor, an'd Horiy." DOMESTIC TKAGEDY. — At C hicago, on VVed • nesday evening, Edgar E.

He induced her j I te take a walk with him that evening, having I premeditated the crime. They ha\e a child ; eighteen months old. Her name was Manner, ! ; and she was man led at the age ol fifteen, at | Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

And now for the rap-sheaf to this colored ; column, furnished in the following extract from ! ihe Express, the know-nothing organ at Cleve land, Ohio, which rejoices over the assistance rendered by the negroes to the dark order at the . lection in that cilv : "The colored population generally voted for the fhnencori ticket day before yesterday. In f this they showed good judgment, and they will ' have no occasion to regret their action. They ! rejoice with us in Sam's frit/moh over a weak, I corrupt A'ebraska ad mi mist rat ion: the colored, people ore natives, and much better citizens I than the hords of Catholic Irish who are yearly J floating to our shores." | The free negro ofOhio is "much better" than j the alien-born citizen! This is "American j doctrine" in Cleveland. It goes even further j than the doctrine of the know-hothing Massa chusetts house of representatives, which has i passed a hill asserting the equality oi negro chil- j dren with the children of poor white persons, j whether native or foreign-born. U ; ,J lVlns. SWISSHELM ON BABY SHOWS. —Mrs. Sw jssheim has been to a "baby show," and rather intimates, if wr can understand her, that she don't quite like them. Here is what she savs, at any rate : "The poor dupes of mothers are to be pitied ratiier than blamed.
