THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOMD TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. THE GLOBE. Huntingdon, Wednesday, Feb. 29, 1860 CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE. Letter from our Ex-Reporter. PITTSBURGH Feb. 27, 1860 Mit: EDITOR :—Many moons have waxed and waned since I last wrote you over the non de plume of Ex-Reporter, and doubtless, many of your readers suppose that I have forgotten you entirely. But not so. When .1 started from home, I secretly resolved that I would write you a letter whilst in this city, and now I will endeavor, as far as my ability extends, to execute my purpose. I arrived-here at 2 o'clock, Saturday morn ing. and plat up at the Mansion House, one of the best Hotels in the city, and under the auspices of George Aurentz, Esq., a clever, and obliging gentleman, who spares no pains to make his guests feel perfectly at home, and when combined with the attention of his gentlemanly clerks, no one can feel otherwise. His table is of the very best, and is furnished with almost every luxury the market affords. Should any of your friends hare occasion to visit this place, I would recommend to their favorable consideration the Mansion House. Since I first left Pittsburgh—almost eigh teen months ago—many changes have taken place, passenger railways introduced and in active operation, whole blocks of houses have been torn down and others erected in their stead. One of the finest buildings I ever saw, is one erected on Fifth street, between Wood and Market, where the Second Presby terian Church used to stand. The building is five stories high, and the front is one mass of iron. It is occupied by almOst innumera ble business houses of almost every kind, from top to bottom. Business is stagnant here at present. Several large establishments are only run ning about one-third of the time—just enough to keep the thing moving. However, the operatives appear to be in pretty good spir its, and inform me that they feel pretty sure that business will resume its former activity in the Spring. Such at least appears to be the general impression. There appears to be a split in the People's Party of this city, in regard to the Governor ship and their nominee. The Commercial Journal, a rampant Opposition paper, refuses to support Andrew G. Curtin, the nominee of the late State Convention which net at Har risburg on the 22nd, while the (Prz , 2l/e, an other of the same stamp, goes in for him body and breeehes. They are talking very cross to each other about it. The Opposi tion, in the city, as far as I can learn, have two favorites for the Presidency—Cameron and Seward. Some say Cameron will be the nominee, while others assert he will not stand a ghost of a chance. Others again say they have no particular choice. Doug las stock is advancing every clay. The Post, until lately, a strong Administration paper, says that Douglas will be the Charleston nominee, without a doubt. Douglas is de cidedly the man of the times, and should he fail at Charleston (which we are not at all afraid of) the Democracy of this country will undoubtedly be thrown out of power and position for the nest four years. No man in the Democratic ranks can be elected so easily as Stephen A. Douglas. lie holds a place in the affections of every true Democrat, no other man in the country dare hope to gain. Ile is the only true conservative Democrat named in connection with the Presidency, and should the Charleston Delegation do their duty, he will be nominated on the second without a doubt. With him as their standard-bearer, the Democracy are certain of a triumphant success, without him, they are sure of an ig,nominous and disastrous defeat. Ex•RrronTsit. WAIMEN COUNTY, 111., Feb. 22, 1860 DEAR a LOBE have thought for some time past, of writing to you, as you have no correspondent about here I believe. I have been in this State about four years, and have seen the good times as it was at first when I came, and the hard times these last two years. Times are a little better now than for a couple of years, and money seems to be a little plen tier, still it is very scarce, especially with some who have pressing debts to pay. Wheat is now worth one dollar per bushel at the Mississippi river, and corn abont3o cents ; the market at the Railroad, is not quite so good. There is an immense quantity of corn in the country yet for sale, and a great deal has al ready been marketed. I expect it will he more than the above price before another crop comes in. Seine are holding theirs for the summer market. There is some political talk out here, about the approaching campaign. The voice of the Illinois Democracy seems to be unanimously for Stephen A. Douglas as the best candidate for the Presidency. I think his chances for nomination by the Charleston Convention seems to be very good, at least I hope it may be the case. The weather here this winter, has been ex tremely cold nearly all the time, till within the last few weeks it has not been quite so cold. There was a couple of times that the thermometer was as low as 20 degrees below zero. There was snow part of the time—but snow as a general thing, never lies very long here at a time, so we never have very good sledding, and I have never seen more than one sleigh since I came 'West. A man was recently shot and killed by a woman in Oquawka, he was attempting to enter her house through a window, when she ordered him to go hack, he kept on trying, to climb in when she shot him, killing him in stantly. I guess it was rather a bad charac ter that the house bore, it is little difference —the woman gave herself up. The weather seems mild these last two days with a prospect of an early spring. F. T. P. Educational The friends of the present Common School System have reason to congratulate them selves for the firmness, the unwavering fidel ity, manifested by successive Executives, the heads of the School Department; and for the achievements won by their zealous la bors. For the last few years the Governors and State Superintendents seem to have been the men for the times. Our first acquain tance in The Department was with IL L. Dieffenbaugh, the present Dept. See. of the Conmonwealth ; and_ we shall never forget the anxiety, the earnest sincerity with which he seemed - to lOok forward to the success of the System. Without the pleasure of his personal acquaintance, we hope and we be lieve there is a better day coming for him. Gov. Pollock, and his excellency, Gov. Packer, have considered their official duties with no careless indifference. In the midst of tumult their messages have gone before the public. From our stand-point on the beach they have - appeared like columns of strength with the waves of tumult and pop ular prejudices drifting around them. H. C. Hickok, the present State Supt., too, has had an eventful time in probably the most trying era, of the System's history. Our observation has been closely fixed upon the movements of the Department during his official term. That term is now drawing to a close. Mr. Hickok will leave his present position, and carry with him the confidence, esteem and gratitude of the educational men, and a host of friends throughout the State. With an unusual zeal, and a conservative policy in his course, the-system has grown into favor. Mr. Hickok is a good public speaker : his earnestness and eloquence has sustained him in positions that few of his predecessors have been necessitated to meet. If Gov. Packer would think proper to re-nominate him, the Governor's friends in this county would be satisfied with the result. A Terrible Winter's Journey [Prom the St. Paul Mianesotian and Times, Feb. 10.1 Mr. Anthony, one of the party who was lost on the prairie, and whose sufferings are depicted below by the editor of the Nor' Wester, published at the Red River Settle ment, called upon us yesterday. The fol lowing account is taken from the Nor' Wes ter, the second number of which lies before us : Never have we met with a more sad and melancholy narrative than that which it is our painful duty this week to recount. The boiler of the Anson Northrup not being in a fit state to commence work in the spring, the Messrs. Burbank, of St. Paul, resolved to send over to Fort Garry, during the winter, a competent person to examine it ; it was ac cordingly arranged that he should go to Georgetown, a newly formed station at the mouth of Buffalo river, about 200 miles from here, and that Governor Mactavish should de spatch a party thither to bring him on to the settlement. The engineer, it would seem, had arrived at Georgetown somewhat sooner _ than the date fixed upon, and having waited there a few days, he grew impatient at the delay, and requested to be sent on. Mr. Mackenzie, the young gentleman in charge of the station, de layed a little longer, and then started with two others, besides the engineer, make the grave mistake of taking mules instead of dogs. None of them had traveled the route and, of course, could not possess a correct knowledge of the road or the dis tance. Mr. Mackenzie said it was five or six days' journey, and provided supplies accordingly. On Friday, December 23d, they started, go ing eastward, in order to fall in with the trail from Crow Wing. They had not been out longer than two or three days when the mules began to "give up!' They then felt that they could not reach their destination in the tittle anticipated ; and what was worse, that their provisions would fail them. A feeling of incipient despair crept over them. here they were hopeless, in the heart of a vast dreary, unknown prairie, in a cold week of the black month of December, far beyond the reach of all sympathy and aid, with star vation staring them in the face—their condi tion was one of desperation. On Thursday the 29th, Mr. Mackenzie resolved to start ahead and try, by a bold effort, to reach Pem bina, and send back succor to his compan ions. The engineer accompanied him. The d a y W as cold and stormy, and a bitter blast Coon the North drifted the snow in their faces and drove them back. They all camped to gether that night near Pine river, about fifty miles from Pembina. In the morning the brave hearted Mackenzie started again—star ted never to return, and, alas I never to reach his destination. This time he was alone. He seemed to have a presentiment that he would not get through, and he named David Tait, the man who had been with him at Georgetown, a present of his gun, in case that he had him self no further need for it. He wore but one thin coat, and was lightly clad throughout wishing to be as little burdened with clothes as possible, as he intended to run most of the way. A hit of pcmican, the size of his fi s t, was -all the food the party could supply. Ile put that into his pocket, provided himself with matches, and shook hands onee,more.— It was a last sad farewell ! Had 14-reached Pembina in due time, his companions would have received assistance on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Sunday morning pas sed, however, and Sunday night, ton, without bringing any help. Their worst forebodings were now confirmed, and the feeling of pain ful suspense gave way to a feeling of desper ation. On Monday morning David Tait pushed ahead, and by great exertion he succeeded in reaching Pembina the same evening. A brief inquiry confirmed his worst apprehensions— Mr. Mackenzie had not been there. Mr. Rolette at once provided two men with every requisite and sent them away, Tate accompanying them. They fell in with the remnant of the party shortly after mid night on Tuesday, and after supplying their urgent needs they went off in search of the ill-fated Mackenzie. They sought him in vain all that day and night, and on Wednes day they came upon traces which brought them to his corpse. After leaving his com panions he seemed to have followed the trail for a considerable distance, and then to have lost his way. Night came upon him, and, bewildered by the growing darkness and the drifting snow, he made towards a clump of trees, with the intention probably of kindle ing a fire. If such was his object, he seems to have been unable to accomplish it ; and his beaten track shows that to keep himself from freezing he had spent the hours of that lonesome night in running around in a cir cle. With the break of day, he started again across the trackless waste, every step that he took carrying him further from the spot which he was straining every nerve to reach. Another weary day of fruitless travel was followed by a second night more dreary even than the first. Again he had managed to stave off what he must have felt to have been the hour of his dissolution by long hours of ceasless activity. A third day's journey brought him towards Lae des Roseaux. Here he attempted to run around as before. But the strength and courage which had hereto fore sustained him, now forsook him. lie dragged his tired footsteps through the loose snow towards a tree, from which he plucked a branch and hung thereon a shred of his tattered coat as a signal to mark his dismal resting place ; he next tore off an other branch of the same tree, which ho placed as t pillow for his cold bed, and then laid upon it his weary head and died. The powerful body and determined spirit which had so long braved the merciless storm, in spite of hunger and fatigue, had at last to succumb l His right hand was on his heart, ALBERT OWEN, County Supt and his left hung by his side, firmly holding a compass. The body gave indications of having undergone intense suffering. Some portions of it had been frozen and thawed many times in succession before death inter vened and released it from further anguish. Meanwhile James McKay had been des patched to Georgetown to bring on the engi neer. But, as already stated, the hapless party had left before his arrival. They had taken.different roads, and thus he had missed them. The remains of the deceased were brought b Pembina, on Thursday week, and to Fort Garry on the following day. The body con tinued there until yesterday, when it was conveyed to St. Andrews, and interred side by side with Mr. Mackenzie's father and mother. The "Little Giant." 13lie7tigan Democratic' State Convention DETROIT, Feb. 22.—The Democratic State Convention assembled here to-day, for the purpose of electing delegates to represent Michigan in the Charleston Convention. . George V. N. Lathrop, ex-Senator Stuart, George W. Peck, and P. 11. Riley were elec ted delegates at large, together with eight dis trict delegates. Resolutions were submitted by a select committee and adopted, reaffirming the prin ciples set forth in the Cincinnati platform, acknowledging the binding force of the deci sions of the Supreme Court, denouncing John Brown's raid, and charging it on the Repub licans, presenting Senator Douglas as the choice of Michigan for the Presidency, and denouncing the present and past State Ad ministrations. The Convention was full and harmoni ous. The delegates were elected by acclama tion, and the resolutions unanimously adop ted. Wisconsin Democratic Convention CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—The Wisconsin Demo cratic Convention met at Madison to-day. A resolution endorsing the course of Sena tor Douglas was adopted by a vote of 165 yeas to 22 nays. The Convention adjourned till this evening, when it will elect delegates to the Charleston Convention.

SAD AFFAIR-A WOMAN THROWS HER CHILD OVERBOARD FROM A STEAMBOAT AND JUMPS AFTER IT.-A melancholy affair oc curred on board the steamer Fanny Bullitt, during her trial-trip from New Orleans to this port. Among the deck passengers were a woman and her child, a boy of about two and a half years of age, who had taken passage at New Orleans for Louisville. The woman had recently been separated from her hus band, and the circumstance seemed to weigh on her mind to such an extent at times, that she was in a frenzy of excitement. What were the reasons for the separation could not be ascertained, but the woman was well dressed, as was also the child, and she was evidently an American. While the boat was a short distance above Helena, on Tuesday, the woman was observed standing on the guard of the boat, holding her little son by the hand, gazing into the muddy waters of the stream with an anxious look. As she seemed to be quiet, but little attention was paid her. All of a sudden she was observed to clasp her child in her arms, and after kiss ing it frantically and glancing upward, threw the little fellow into the river and jumped after him. The boat was promptly stopped, the yawl launched, manned, and started after the unhappy mother and her child. After considerable effort they were rescued in a senseless condition and taken on board. The ladies in the cabin took them in charge, and endeavored to restore them to consciousness. As regards the little boy they succeeded, but all efforts to revive the poor mother were un availing—her spirit had fled ! A_ purse was made up for the little boy by the gentlemen on board, and it was said that Captain Dunham would adopt him as his own. All inquiries as to the name of the unfortunate woman were fruitless. Her body was taken on to Louisville."—Menzphis Avalanche, 91/i. SPITEFUL REVENGE.—The following singu lar occurrence is rumored as having taken place within the last few days : A young man residing in town, who has been a regu lar visitant at the residence of a young lady citizen, and whose attendance upon the same was understood as a prelude to an eventful proposal, was sitting by her side at the fami ly tea-table on a late evening, when during the course- of a rather jovial conversation, the mother of the lady turned upon him with the smiling question: " When are you and M-- going to get married ?" The gentle men responded, with an appearance of great astonishment, that ho had never entertained any such intention, and proceeded to joke upon the idea. The young lady immediately arose without a word, and went into a room adjoining, from whence she shortly returned, with a bottle of vitriol in her hand, and with out a sylable or gesture of warning, dashed the terrible fluid into the unsuspecting face of him whom she had supposed her lover, shockingly disfiguring his features, instant ly destroying the sight of one eye, and inju ring its fellow hopelessly. This most bar barous result of a lover's disappointment is, we think, without a modern equivalent. Beffalo Courier, Feb. 1. BADLY SOLD. —A little affair happened the other day which is too good to be lost. Mr. A. called on one of our farmerP., and asked him the price of oats, and was informed that they were worth 35 cents per bushel. He agreed to pay 40 cents on condition that he should be permitted to tramp them in the half bushel. To secure the bargain he paid for twelve bushels, and the next day took his wagon and went after them. The farmer filled the half bushel, after which Mr. A. got in and gave therma most vigorous tramp ing, contracting their proportions considera bly: The farmer thereupon emptied the oats into the bag without filling up the measure. Mr. A. raved, but it was no use, the farmer had complied with his part of the agreement. and as an evidence, told Mr. A. after he had measured the oats, ho might tramp thorn all day.—Tersey Shore Republican. SECESSION Or A SPIRITUALIST.--The Spring field Republican, in an article upon " Man ifestations" and " Phenomena," says : " Perhaps the most serioits blow that Spiritualism has received, is the defection of Rev. T. L. 'Harris, lately the inspired poet of the new movement in this country, now a Swedenborgian minister, and at present lec turing against spiritualism in England. He does not deny the fact of possession, by spirits, but thinks they are spirits of a low order, both in intellect and virtue; that they are of the same class with the demons spo- . ken of in the New Testament, and that they pass themselves for the spirits of the friends of those consulting them, or of distinguished men, in order the better to deceive and ac complish their destructive purposes. The effect of this possession Mr. Harris says he has felt in his own mind and person, and he describes it as most fearful. Only a few years ago it had such a hold of him that it gave a fixed rigidity to his muscles, and a terrible unearthly expression to his coun tenance. Ile had known many excellent and amiable persons under this influence to have their energies crushed, lose their appetites, be deprived of sleep, find their self control destroyed, and their bodies wasting away and their mind enfeebled, as if under some fell disease. Mr. Harris gave a shocking ac count of the moral influence of the doctrine he has just abandoned, and we have no doubt he greatly exaggerates it, with the zeal natural to a new convert." ZED".
