Otniltmm j—t The Tariff resolutions introduced
%gr Mr, Strohg were debated on Wednesday lait,
tad pa**ed,only 24 voles being recorded against
them. Boideeply is Pennsylvania interested In
t« increase off duties on iron end coal, that I
think tbe resolutions would hare passed without
a dissenting voice, but for party rancor, which
induced cine of jthe Opposition members to add
a resolution reflecting upon the President
this is to be regretted, for in Pennsylvania there
is opposed to a protective tariff, let
poUlkians be fOrced into whatever attitude they
may. But that these resolutions! will have any
.effect, rdo n|t believe. lam rather disposed
to think tbat ilie independent sovereigns who ait
at Washington; will be- disposed to treat with
contempt anijf effort to instruct them in theitdu
ty, especially when suchinstractions cpme from
what they! in t|cir lofty grandeur look upon as
a very inferiptf body.
.Insuring against loss by firo, in Philadelphia
has become an. uucertain business;- "Within the
lost few years the Legislature has granted' a
large number!' of charters for new companies,
and it is said that many of them arc noW open
and doing business upon fictitious capital. Un
der such circumstances it is the duty, as well as
tbe interdst, of the solvent companies to crush
outf the existence of these bogus institutions, or
suffer hereafter for their short-comings.
To effect Ibis, some gentlemen arc now here,
working for -the passage of . a bill having for its
object a thorough monthly examination of the
standing end condition of each insurance compa
ny in the cities. This bill, if it, posses, will be
likely to knock some of the bogus companies
higher than a kite, and it is not unlikely that it
will send to jCoveutry some that have standing
in the community.
The contested election case, Wiley vs, Duf

The Philadelphians are after more Passenger
Railway 1 charters, notwithstanding nearly all
the main thorough fares are already occupied.—
Broad street,;it appears, was, by some means or
other, overlooked last winter, and several com
panies are after it with several pieces of timber.
It is supposed to be the last really profitable
speculation left jn that line.
There’ are ‘Some six or seven applications for
bank charters, and also a bill pending for a free
banking law. If there is to be any increase of
banking capital in the State, I say let it bo ou
the free banking principle. Let the people who
have bank-notes in tbeir pockets have the assu
rance that they will be redeemed, and it will
put an end to the everlasting currency-tinkering
No bills of any moment have as yet been pas
sed, but I Uye in the hope that we shall soon
have something to write that will, at least, be
worth the Ink and paper used. Yours,

Tub South Carolina Commissioner. —Mr.
MemmjngiSr, the Commissioner sent by the Leg
islature of South Carolina to Virginia, has been
addressing the Legislature of the latter State oil
the subjectiof his mission. He argued that, if
the Union must be continued, the South must
demand otliei and more efficient guarantees, or
make concession aftec. concession until she has
losi. all influence, all consideration and all right
in the Confederacy. He urged the propriety of
a Convention of the Southern States to consider
the questions growing out of the relations of the
South [to tlie Northern States. There is some
diversity fn the South as to the propriety of
Mr. Memminger’s mission. Mr. Ferry, one of
the ablestincmbers of the South Carolina Leg
isluture. publicly expresses his belief that it is
in bad taste and Quixotic— it was like a neigh
bnr going-to a gentleman and telling him his
honor was-wounded, and he must resent it or
fight, yifginift was able to see for herself what
her lionbr required, and did not need the promp
tings of South Carolina.

some twentyptiye applicants, and six appointed:
for pasters- and folders about thirty five appli

jpgy» Rev. A. S. Finch publishes in the Brock
pprt Adver'iitT a can! of warning to the public,
und h.s brethren, tire clergy* in particular,
against a woman whom ho married early last
fall, and who has since deserted and ruined him.
He explains how his ruin was accomplished.—
While attending the Brockport camp-meeting,
a woman, small in stature; wearing spectacles,
and prepossessing in appearance, appeared,
pursued him in a carriage, and told him of her
esteem, and'how much she was ,worth, and in
duced him to marry her. He consented, the
knot was tied, and she, having accomplished his
rnin, Ibrsork him, probably to find another vic
tim. Mr Finch assorts in his card that this
woman has served two men, at least, in the
same way oefore—bne residing at Belleville,
C. W., the other in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin
man she left in a destitute condition, with three
children to provide for.
The Cleveland Plaindealer announces
that Mr. J. W. Fitch, U. S, Marshal of Northern
Ohio, on the preceding day received a bundle of
official documents from the Chairman of the
Harper’s Ferry Investigating Committee, com
manding him to summon Joshua R. Qiddings,
R. Plumb and John Brown, Jr., to appear be
fore the committee and testify under path all
they may know of the organization of “ The
Sons of Liberty.” or any other organization
connected with John Brown’s “ work in hian
sas." If these witnesses refuse to obey the
summons, they are to be arrested under warrants
which accompanied the subpoenas The Plain
dealer also states that the Sons of Liberty, at
West Andover. Ohio, have decided deliberately
to refuse to obey tho summons, and to resist if
any attempts are made to enforce it. The same
action has been taken at Oberlin,
Hunting a Pantueh.— Abraham Niv ling, of
Janesville, and Amassa Smith, Sr., of Beccaria
Mills, Clearfield county, went recently to the
Moshaunon woods to bunt panthers. They
soon struck the trail of a very large one, which
they followed for four successive days, camping
at nights by a large fir*, without shelter or any
kind, daring very cold weather. On the fourth
<l»y, 27th of December, the animal caught a rab
bit, after devouring which, it proceeded about
two hundred yards, and laid dowu. Here the
dog found it. when it took to a tree, ascending
to the height of about seventy feel. Nivling
raised bis guo, and brought it down the first
fire, the ball entering the nostrils, and, after
traversing the neck, lodged in the breast. The
•‘varmint” measured twelve feet six inches
from end of nose to tip of tail.
An Inhuman Motuee.— ln Chenango, N Y.,
the other day. a woman, named Julia Anne Ca
dy was arrested charged with attempting the
life of her illegitimate child. From the state
meat of the little one it would appear that its
inhuman mother thrust it head foremost in the
stove, and held it there until she thought it was
dead ; she afterwards placed it on a bed, which
she set on fire, and then leaving the house hur
ried to one of her neighbors, to whom she Sta
ted that her place was on fire. The child, in
the meantime, recovered sufficiently to be able
to leave 'he house, and when the mother return
ed she found it out of doors, but burned to such
iyt extent that its life was despaired of. The
wretch was arrested and committed to await the
result of the child’s injuries.
Cause of.Camiuienb Explosions —A rorres
pouilent of the Uoston Journal t-xplains this mat
ter,; — "Explosions are not genenlly caused
by contact of the fl.iine with the fluid itself, but
with a gas that is always escaping from the
fluid when open to the air. I’cople not under
standing this fact, think they may safely fill
the lighted lamp, if they do not allow the flame
to touch the fluid itself, but the invisible gas
arises, ''touches the flame, the lamp expljdes
anil the consequences are sad, perhaps fatal.—
Never bring a lighted lamp within u foot, at the
very nearest, of open fluid.” Experience has
demonstrated, by a great sacrifice of human
life, that the fluid should never be brought with
in a foot of the lamp.
OgL- A most distressing occurrence lately
took place in the town of Bloomer, Montcalm
eounty, Michigan. At tlio raising of a large
barn, a couple of small boys were playing with
a large hro.adare, when one of them suggested
to his playmate to lay his head on a block and
let him cat it off, which wag done, and the sharp
heavy axe instantly servered the head from the
.body of (be little fellow. Just at this instant a
large "bent” of tlmframe was poised midair;
but the men engqged in it were so shocked at
the sight that they let go their hold, when the
huge timbers, with a tremend >us crash, fell to
the ground, killing three men instantly.
Tut, Consequences. —Speaking of disunion,
the Richmond Dispatch says : “It is impossible
'to exaggerate the horrors and sufferings wbidh
for years wohld follow & dissolution of the Union
For ourselves, we have no idea of a pcaceful
dissolution. As we have said before, it would
be war from the star*, war to the knife, and-tfae
knife to the hilt The widely extended border
between the North and South would be a lino of
blood. Every accessible bay and inlet of every
river would be entered, and, ever and anon,
large masses of men burled upon the Capitals
and important points Of Southern States.”

power to alleviate by every possible menus tinman suffer

humane and benevolent can do an action more in accor
dance -.villi their philnntbrophic views, than by calling the
attention of llieir afflicted friends and acquaintances to the

Sir'll is a common observation that there are mote
sufferers from debility, among Americans, than can be
found among any other civilized nation. The reason Is
obvious. We take too little exercise, and forget the waste
of the body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In all
such cases, ordinary medicine can do little good. ITbst
is required is just such a tonic and inelgoratotj as Dr. J
Hwtetter has glvi-n to the world, in his CELEBRATED
•• BITTERS.” The weak anl nervous denizen of tbs
counting-house, the exhausted toiler upon the shop-board,
and the prostrated student of the midnight lamp, bsvs
found a wonderful regenerator In the “ Dittans,” and P 1 *
fer it to more pretentious, but less efficacious medicines.
But it should not be forgotten that tbs agent which is ee
magical in Its influence upon a frame which is msrsly de
bilitate*!, is equally powerful In assisting nature to exp**
the most terrible forms of disease. Who will uul *'
trial?.
