A Significant Indication. —A gen tleman residing in | lowa writes that the land offices in .different sections of the liVesthre flooded with'applications for in formation from. Southern people. These applications are generally made in writing and refer to the state of affairs existing in the South as rendering emigration to the North desirable. Many ofj these applica- tions come from as far South as Texas and Louisiana. The fact is, the “ reign of terror*’ prevailing in Uhe 11 Cotton States” must jere long drive teas of thou sands of the best inhabitants away. The Cambria County Election i Frauds. —The famous Washington town ship election frauds arc stil| on the carpet in the Cambria county Court. At the' late Quarter Sessions, John W.

Cantwell, for the same offence, as Judge of the election, but his case was continued to .the next Court.

The decision places her in possession of all the immense property of Daniel Clark, of whom she is the only legiti mate child. Mrs. Myra C. Gaines, the contest ant in this celebrated case, furnishes the world, in her life, one of those strange eventful his tories, unlocked for save in the realms of ro mance. Mrs. Gaines was bom in Philadelphia in 1805. Her father, Daniel Clark, was a man of immense wealth, but of uncertain morals—his property lying for the most part and about the cities of New Orleans, Baltimore, and Phila delphia. Mr. Clark, in 1801, had formed a liai «on_with a'woman of supposed easy virtue, with nom he lived for many years, in Philadelphia. Mr. ‘Clark’s friends never recognized this woman —nor did Clark ever acknowledge her publicly ** hi* wife, hut op the contrary, it has! been proved, tl»at evengafter the daughter was horn, he persisted in draaring that h* was ahadfaelor. It seems, some months prior to Mrs. Gainhs’s SMVenvinto the world, Mr. Clark was lnduced to marry his victim, but with the cfisthrct understanding that the marriage »honh| -Sever be made public. Soon after iU bittb,^Eß6 ; was placed in the charge of a persoii inaiatimore, (whose name does pot transpire,} byyrijom-she was raised to woman-- hood. Hqr mother in .the meantime went away from Philadelphia, bat. where or when, or what ever beeaipe.of her is unknown. At the ake of twenty-two, Myra married a Mr. Whitney, a son of the ilate Judge Whitney, of Binghamton, - N6w York; by whom she became the mother of three children. Mr. Whitney died in 1886, and In 1840 she married General Gaines, of the Uni ted States larmy. Mrs. Gaines did pot, until some yrarh after her marriage to her first hus band, know anything of her parentage; she having taken , the name of the person who had charge of her, and ; supposed, as did her ac quaintances, that the persons with whom she lived were her parents. At the death of Clark, in 1830 or 1831, his kinsmen went on to admin ister upon; his estate, bat they foond a barrier in the person of Mrs- Whitney’s former guardian and supposed father, who interposed a claim for his protege, and then for the first time informed 1 her and her wondering husband, as to who and what she It seems that this person alone, aside from the family of Clark, know the secret of the marriage. At first Clark’s friend tried to bribe him. to keep the whole matter a secret, pnd for a. time succeeded in keeping him out of the way; but as they did- not-comply readily with bis demands for money, he communicated the proofs! more ' fully to, Mrs. Gaines, and she set. about: establishing her legitimacy. She. commenced her first suit against the executors of her father’s esti'e. as long ago as 1837 or 8, and it wi}s while in Washington attending to this business that.she .met General Gaines whom she married :n a few months after. General Gaines appropriated the whole of bis salary to ferreting out the availiable facts, and at last succeeded;in finding the records of. Clark’s mar ring*/11 Iso4, and be found also one or two of the witnesses who were present at the ceremony. In the first suits against the Executors she was unsuccessful, but .she and her husband were determined that the stigma of Illegitimacy should not rest upon her, and so to again bring the matter before the Courts, when she should he able to better prove the marriage of her parents, she commenced the present suits against Hemming and others, involving the Mc- Donough estates and other vast amounts of property in the South and West. The case has been fought inoh by inch by the other legatees; has been ; tried.. .with varied successes in the Courts of a half a dozen States, until this last decision of the Court of final resort. The first legal talent in the country has been engaged on both sides, and probably no case, as Judge Wayne remarked, was elver tried in this country involving so many nice points of law and fact as this. The Court of the United States has unani mously decided that Myra Clark Gaines is the only legitimate child of Jennie! Clkrk, and that, as such, she is to ali the property left by him. |Nor are the years and energies of the courageous woman too far spent to prevent her enjoyment of her vast wealth. Mrs. Games, though now in her fifty-fifth year, is represented as being an agreeable specimen of what old people delight in sailing “ladies of the old school.” She is in good health, and possesses an abundant flow of animal spirits, which have buoyed her up for over thirty years under cir comstancea of an'unusually trying nature. Nbw Sieax Car. —The Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad Company have made or- v rangements to put a Steam Car on the road, to run between Huntingdon and Hopewell. The car, -which is a combination of Locomotive, Pas senger, and Baggage car, has been contracted for, and will be running about the first of June, and for convenience and utility, will be a popu- * lar institution. It will seat comfortably, about forty passengers, with a baggage room next to the engine, sufficient to hold the baggage, mails and Express matter. The engine will be set on the front platform within the car, and work on an entirely new principle, and will have suffi cient power to hani a second car when necessa ry, and to run -twenty-five ’miles an hour. We understand the Company intend' to offer strong inducements to cncoorage and increase the travel, by; s redaction of fares, and taking on and letting off passengers at any point on the road, virtually making every farm bouse, and road crossing a station, and charging only-for the distance traveled. The car-is being built by Murphy A Alison, celebrated ear builders in Plain. Tbo nngine by/ Neafie & Leoy, Penn’a .Works, Phil’a, both .being superintended by Messrs. .Cries & Long, the patentees. We sup pose the Passenger car on the Sbonp’s Run Branch will be run as usnal for the accommoda tion bf those having business at the mines, and to enable onr citizens to connect with the trains' for Huntingdon at Saxton.— Broad Top Miner. Kxhtuckt Satb ih thk Old Umios.—JSx- SecretaryGutbriedelivered a speech at Louis vilie, Kentucky, onthe 16th inst., opposing se: cession, and deprecating the precipitation which the seceding States had displayed. He urged that Kentucky was perfectly safe in the old Union, While »he would -bp continually assailed should she go with the South, arid insisted that there was no necessity ait all for Arming the State. There is to bo no civil war. He be lieved Lincoln to be an honest man, who Would march to the music of the Union, and that there .Would be no war unless Mr. Lincoln and his party W er ? the most blood-thirsty beings in the world, Which he did riot; believe. He Was op posed to shaking' hands with those who had de serted them in tiroes of .peril, and As be had been bora ia xhe Union, lie koped to die in its bosom. , -- Edward P.

Pa. It has proved fatal in a number pf instances recently, HHH Terrible Tragedy in the Pittsburgh. Prison. The eoftaty Jail in nttaboith wu th« bomm of n most ontil tordinwry ond iloody tr*gedj yesterday morni ig, the particulars of which ere detailed by the Chronicle of lharsday evening, m follows: A men named John Lewis, committed for va gtkney by iieqnire Janeey, of LawrenccTille, ires murdered in cold blood by e fellow namejd Andrew MoMollisa, with whom ho had bad ho previous acquaintance, and to whom no provq oation, whatever 1 , was given for the commission of the dreadful deed. It appears that McMul len is of unsound mind, and some two years since was before' the Court on a charge of as sault and battery. The" testimony showing, however, 'that the man was a lunatic, a verdict of acquittal in his ease was rendered, and he was ordered to be sent to the Hospital for safe He remained there till about three montfas, since, when he was discharged, appa rently eqred, and since then he has been leading a dissolute life, | passing a part of his time in jail, and the balance among bis friends, some of,whom arc said to be well to do and respecta ble citizens. Saturday morning be was com mit ted for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, but at the time he gave no indications that his old malady bad returned, or that bis mind was in the least disturbed. He was placed in cell Nb. 18 on the grounjl floor, and every night, since he has had one or more persons to sleep with him. Lost night the deceased was brought in and' taken to McMullen’s cell, where he was locked up for the night. He did not appear to be \drnnk at the time, and demeaned himself like a quiet inoffensive man. During the night great noise prevailed. ia the cell, bat unfortunately the man on the guard failed to hear it, and no attempt was therefore made to ascertain the . cause from which it proceeded. The fact, how ever, revealed itself this morning, when the turnkey came to unlock the door. On the bed inside lay stretched the body of the unfortunate Louis,' his face covered with bleed, and features' so disfigured that recognition was barely possi ble. He was still living, but so near .his end that but some three quarters of an hour elapsed ere his spirit haa departed for another world.— Near him stood uVlcMullen, apparently contem plating bis bloody work. He bad a piece of stick in bis hand, which was covered with the gore of his victim, and looked stolidly on while I the turnkeys shrunk with.horror from the bloody spectacle before them. In. reply to the inter rogatories of one of them, he merely answered that he beat th<| deceased because he could not speak German, land declined saying more. He was removed to I another cell, while his victim was washed and a physician sent for, but before he could arrive he had died. “Hidden roa Fifteen Cents. -•-Among the coses on the list now before the Supreme Court lof this State is a most curious one. It seems that away up in Luzerne county lived a man nuiped Elisha Harris. He owned a large farm, and was ' supposed to have saved considerable mpuey. Ho was an eccentric and close-fisted individual, and he lived entirely se cluded and alone. In July, 1858, he died His administrators could find no property be yond the ordinary househpld'furniture, &fi. — According to custom, they hid a vendue. The vendue was well attended, it being inferred that the money which it was supposed the deceased died possessed iof had been concealed some where, and old : chests nud bureaus probably never before sold so well at an up country sale. Well,'ope David M. Huthmaeher,. an honest Dutchman, wept to the sale, and arbondescript article of furniture was struck off to him for fifteen cents. It was a square block of pine wood, about .three feet long and tea or twelve inches square,! supported by four legs, each about a foot an|d a half in length. On the top was a horizontal wheel, with an iron spindle at tached to it.- it war an outlandish affair, and it might, for all we-know, have come out of the Ark, and beenapplied to antediluvian uses.; — David paid bisjjfifteen cents, hauled bis purchase home, and threw it on the wood-pile. In course of time it camel to be split open for firewood, when, lo ’ it wps found to contain $8,754.50 in gqld and silver! coin and promissory notes.— David, tho’ poor, was honest, and he informed the administrators of his discovery. The result was that a suit was entered to determine to whom the treasure should belong.' The lower Court decided against honest David, and. he ap pealed. Such jiras the case that came up a few days ago, and it occasioned much merriment.— No decision has yet been made. A Bill job Dne Bat.— Mr. Lincoln and his finite stopped one day ' at the Delnyan House,/ formerly a rigiijl temperance hotel, in Albany, but he and his wife dined with a friend. The proprietor of toe hotel has presented the mod est bill of $1,120 for that dnys’s eating and "drinking. There vyere sixteen persons in all really entertainjed, and the charge was therefore §7O for each. |The items- are curious fora Temperance house; for instance, there is the sum-of §357 for wines- and liquors, and §l5O for broken stoves and chairs. If sixteen per sons drank $357 worth of liquors, a cost of twenty?two dollars worth each, the only won der is that they did not' break their necks as well as $l5O worth of stores and chairs. This extraordinary,pill bents the experience of the Japanese and English princes.. Fate, op a Lady Gambler.—A letter from Frankfort of tqe 19tb ult., says; “The day beforO’ yesterdijy nn English lady, who had re sided at Hombqtg: for aome time, and who had been aWistant visitor to the gambling saloon's, where by degrees she had lost almost-all her property, left’ town and went to the village of Eirdoff, aboutihree miles distant. She ascen ded the tower of the new church there, and, hav ing first tied her legs together, threw herself from the tower, to the earth, a distance of about one hundred feet. When picked up she was still, living, bui was conveyed to the hospital at Homburg, in aldeplorable condition.’’ Death from Htdbopuobia.— Mrs. Townsend, wife of a respectable farmer iu Ararat, Susque hanna county, was seized with symptoms of hy drophobia while riding with Mr. Townsend, some days ago, and died during the night follow ing. Two years ago. while crossing a field near her father’s bouse, she was attacked by a large dog, from which she happened to escape with out receiving any wound of which she was con scious. It is pow supposed that* the animal was mad, and tbs' virus penetrated her system .through some abraision of the skin. i Teeasok Defined ii» Texas.—J u igo Frazier, In his charge to the grand jury, defined treason as a crime to b« 'looked after in the event of the State withdrawing from the Union. After the State has fully • and unconditionally severed the connection State and Federal gov ernment, then nil who adhere to the Union and so manifest the fact, are guilty of treason—sub ject and liablei o. Indictment by the grand jury under the constitution as It how exists. After secession, any word, deed, or act against the independence of the State would be treason. Resc mptioh. — -Wb have to-day to announce the unconditional resumption of specie pay ments by the banks in this city. It is a safe more, and cannot but agd to the impression that our political complications are tending to ward a peaceful result.
