Sheriff MILLER'S three prisoners made an
attempt to escape on Sunday night last.—
They took a screw from their bed, and by
heating it they succeeded in burning off a
plank at the window, then removed a quan
tity of stone, but before they had got through
the wall the Sheriff heard the noise, and by
the time he arrived in their room, strange as
it may appear, they were all in bed and
sound asleep. They could not believe that
they had made an attempt in a sound sleep
to escape; but the Sheriff was of the opinion
that they would sleep sounder in cells, in
which they were immediately placed for safe
keeping.
A HOME TIIRITST.—In the National House
of Representatives, on Thursday last, Mr.
Haskin, an able Democrat, from the state of
New-York, declared his intention to vote
against the Lecompton Constitution. He
said be "would not consent to make slavery
perpetual in Kansas. The President indul
ges a vain hope if he thinks the passage of
the bill admitting Kansas into the Union un
der the Lecompton Constitution will stop agi
tation. Agitation will then have but com
menced. If it were not for Executive pat
ronage, he did not believe that ten Northern
Democrats would vote for the admission un
der the present constitution. He considered
the attempt to admit Kansas under that Con
stitution as the most stupendous fraud Con
gress was ever called upon to consummate."

From an Occasional Correspondent.
HARRISBURG, March 23, 1858
MR. LEWIS : Last week, having occasion
to go eastward, I spent a few days very pleas
antly at - the Capital of the old Keystone,
in observing the things about town. The
weather was pleasant and added much to my
comfort. I called to see the new Governor,
and found him very busily engaged in the
affairs of the Commonwealth. Next, I visit
ed the Attorney General and the Deputy Sec
retary, (the Secretary being absent) and
found them to be very agreeable gentlemen,
well-fitted for the positions they occupy.
In the House of Representatives, I found
my friends from the Juniata region, Doctors
CHRISTY, HOUTZ and BOWER enjoying them
selves and watching with care the interests
of their constituency. Mr. HOUTZ from our
own county, though remark - ably unobtrusive
in manner, has by his manly, moral bearing
won the confidence and esteem of his fellow
members. Though not much of a talker, he
thinks for himself and acts accordingly.
In the Senate, in the person of WILLIAM
P. SCHELL, old Huntingdon has a steadfast
friend and au able, independent and fearless
representative. Having the experience of
two sessions in the other House, he enters
upon the performance of his duties in this
body with. the skill of a practiced legislator.
The Senate embraces many gentlemen of
talent and education. I noticed in this body
the familiar face of Col. TUOMAS P. KNOX,
of Montgomery, wearing as ever, its pleas
ant expression. The Colonel, whose hair is
becoming silvered by the advance of age, is
now serving his last sessiton. Whilst vigi
lant and faithful in watching the interests of
his county, he does not forget or fail to prac
tice, those courtesies which characterize the
true gentleman. His frank and modest dis
position, as evinced in every-day conduct,
has endeared him to those who have came in
contact with him, and, with his legislative
experience, has made him a popular and ef
ficient member.
TITIAN J. Corrny, one of old Huntingdon's
sons, represents the counties of Indiana and
Armstrong. He is regarded as an able law
yer; he is a pleasant, forcible speaker, and
never rises to speak unless he has something
to say, and then he says it well.
I am compelled, from the lateness of the
hour, to desist from writing more, and per
haps shall, at a future time have more to
say in the same line.
From Washington
[Correspondence of The Press.]
IVASIIINGTON, March 19, 1858
The fall of Lecompton and the Calhoun
regency is fast approaching. It is patent to
everybody. Ultra pro-slavery men do not
attempt to disguise from themselves this un
welcome truth, but, on the . contrary, are im
pressing it upon the minds of their people.
Yet, while this is so, we are not startled
with efforts of disunion on the part of the
South ; nor will there be any such efforts if
there is anything to found a judgment on in
the calm resignation with which the support
ers of the Kansas policy of the Administra
tion prepare for their defeat.
Members cast about for the measure neces
sary for the adjustment of Kansas affairs,
and, so far as I know, there seems to be a
singular unanimity in favor of the proposi
tion of Mr. Montgomery, of our own State,
which in Thursday's issue was wrongly
ascribed. to Mr. Phelps. He proposes that
the Lecompton Constitution shall be referred
to a Convention to be created under law of
the Territorial Legislature, which nobody
pretends was not fairly elected. This Legis
lature will not expire until November next.
When the Convention has amended the Le
compton Constitution in whatever respect
they shall deem proper, then their entire
work will be submitted for the ratification or
rejection of the people. General Denver is
fixed upon as the means by which the ma
chinery of State Government shall be put
into operation. He is an honest man, and
is taken rather than any man whose name,
whether justly or not, is mixed up with the
Calhounism of the recent election frauds in
that Territory. Of course, provision will be
made in the Constitution for the election of
Senators and a member of the House of Rep
resentatives from the new State, and when
they present their certificates of election
they are to take their seats, and Kansas, by
this act, becomes a State of the American
Union.
Mr. Montgomery has unflinchingly stood
his ground in this fight, and now that it is
near its close his firmness has given him the
respect and confidence of those even to
whom he has been opposed. They believe
that his measure, which Mr. Crittenden sta
ted in his speech the other day as the propo
sition substantially which would command
his vote, is dictated by a pure patriotism,
and no doubt therein lies, with its evident
justice, the secret of the general approval
which it has elicited.

Pattonsville and Woodberry turnpike road.
Executive interposition against legislative en
actments has become, almost an every day
occurrence. The Governor's grounds of ob
jection to the bills returned by him, may be
just, yet, notwithstanding this, the unprece
dented frequency of the exercise of his pre
rogative, has caused not a slight murrner of
dissatisfaction among the Senators and Rep
resentatives. Eleven memorials, praying the
repeal of the tonnage tax were presented, al
so one remonstrance against the same.
TUESDAY. Senate.—=Petitions and remon
strances were presented as follows, viz : By

ing a bill relative to directors of the Poor of
Washington county. house.—The supple
ment to the act incorporating the Hunting
don and Broad Top Railroad Company,
passed finally. This authorizes the compa
ny to issue six thousand shares of preferred
stock, providing a majority of the present
stockholders, holding two thirds of the shares
of stock shall so determine; the money so ob
tained to be applied to the payment of the
floating debt of the company. The bill char
tering the Bedford railroad company also
passed finally. The evening session was oc
cupied by the consideration of the Philadel
phia city passenger railroads.

ted as follows, viz ; to abolish taxes on
groud rents and mortauces • for the better
prevention of disturbances of public meet
ings ; relative to fees of prothonotaries and

viz : A supplement to the School law, and
for the erection of Marion county. Bilis in
place were read as follows, viz: One by Mr.
Houtz relative to road taxes in Union town
ship, Huntingdon county ; one to provide for
the punishment of embezzlement by bank of
ficers, clerks, servants, &c., and agents of pri
vate individuals and companies. The even
ing session was consumed in the considera
tion of the Delaware River Railroad bill.
THURSDAY. Senate.—The bill releasing the
bail of Daniel Ziegler, a defaulting Treasur
er, of Mifflin county, was considered, and be
ing amended by exonerating George Trunk
one of his securities, from all obligation by
the payment of one-third of the amount due
Commonwealth, it passed in that shape.—
House.—Petitions were presented as follows,
viz : twenty-six for the repeal of the tonnage
tax ; two remonstrances against the same ;
four petitions for a modification of the School
law ; seven for the repeal of the County Su
perintendency, and two against the same.—
Bills were read in place as follows, viz : re
lating to Mechanics' liens ; relating to Alder
men and Justices of the Peace. Bills were
reported as follows, viz : for the reduction of
the State debt; to abolish the Board of Ca
nal Commissioners; exempting persons over
sixty years of age from serving as jurors; re
lating to marriages ; relatinr , r' to limited part
nerships ; to enable courts to adjust certain
cases without a jury; relative to forms of ac
tion ; to authorize the Supervisors of Tod
township, Huntingdon county, to construct a

tain defects in the law for the more secure
enjoyment of real estate. House.—The Gen
eral appropriation bill was under considera
tion and passed finally. The remaining part

tion of private bills. The appropriation bill

lature at seven hundred dollars.
GETTING TUTU: PAY.-A. letter from a
Washington corespondent of a New-York pa
per, lets the cat partially out of the bag, in
the following paragraph :
" Various members and movers of the re
cent Harrisburg Convention here are getting
their rewards in shape of contracts for the
Mormon war and valuable offices. Popular
sovereignty pays well. The Departments
and members of Congress are crowded with
Pennsylvania applications for furnishing
mules, wagons and other outfits for the mili
tary expedition. These fortunate men will
yet be immortalised in print to verify their
disinterested patriotism."

In the death of Mr. Stryker, the communi

an efficient officer, a liberal supporter, and a
most worthy .and consistent member; his
companion mourns the loss of an affectionate
husband, and five small children are left
without the protecting care of one of the
kindest and best of parents.
We have rarely, if ever, witnessed an oc

minds of a very large concourse of people, as
the death of our lamented friend. But we
sorrow not as those who have no hope, for we
have much encouragement to believe that
our loss is his eternal gain. F.

IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWERS !!
DR. GUSTAV LIN NARD'S
Taste Restorative Troches, the Great Substitute
for Tobacco.
It is a well known and incontrovcrtable fact that the use
of Tobacco is the promoting cause of ninny of the most se
vere MENTAL AND PHYSICAL, DISORDERS to which the
race of man is subject, as careful analysis and long and
painful experience have clearly proven that it contains
certain narcotic and poisonous properties most dangerous
in their effects, which by entering into the blood derange
the functions and operations of the Heart, causing many
to suppose that organ to be seriously deceased.
TOBACCO affects also the entire nervous system, mani
festing itself—as all who have used the noxious weed will
bear testimony—in Lassitude, Nervous Irritability. Water
Brash, Dyspepsia, and many other disorders of a similar
character.
THE TASTE RESTORATIVE TIIOCIIES are designed to
counteract these baneful influences, and have proved com
pletely successful iu a multitude of cases, and wherever
used. Being harmless in themselves they exert a benefi
cial enct upon the entire system, restoring the taste which
has become vitiated or destroyed by great indulgence, com
pletely removing the irritation and accompanying, tickling
sensation of the Throat—which are always consequent
upon abstaining from the use of Tobacco, and by giving a
healthy tone to the Stomach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining their con
stitutions and shorteninr , their lives, should use these
Troches immediately and throw off the injurious and un
pleasant habit of Tobacco Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges aro put up in a convenient
and portable form at the low price of 50 Cents per Box.—
A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom all orders
should be addressed.
