Da.Jnim J. MtEßtf.—Oor respected townsman,
Dr, Mykss, has been appointed by the Secretary of
the Treasury, Surgeon of the Marine Hospital, at
Pittsburg. This appointment, wo believe, will be
well.received by men of ell parlies. Dr. Myers has
been a practicing.physician in this county fur many
years, and is welt known as a gentleman of great
skill Ini'his-profession. As a citizen and neighbor he
is kind and accommodating, and fur (his reason we
regret that he is about lb leave Carlisle. Wo fuel
satisfied that he. will bo kindly received by the
hospitableipoople of the .“smoky city of the weal.”
Licrimc ox Music,—.Our friend Mr. Charles
H. Spubkokr, of this borough, delivered a lecture
on Mnsio at Education Hall, before a very large
audience, on Thursday evening last, to which we
had the pleasure of listening.. A few evenings
previous, a gentleman, who pretended to under*
stand something of music, had delivered a lo lure
in the same place,'in which he advocated anew
system of teaching; and condemned the present
mode, Mr. Springer's lecture was in answer lo
this gentleman, and although we do not pretend
to much knowledge in tnusie, we feel tfo hesita
tion..ln saying that Mr. Sprenger defended the
“old system.” very ably,and we think,complete
ly floored his opponent. Mr. S. is thoroughly
educated in music, and a master performer on
the piono. He is by birth and education a Ger
man, and as yet has not a very perfect knowledge
of our language. His broken English and quaint
sayings during the delivery of his address, or his
11 talk," as he called it, were received with shouts
of applause and roars of laughter—in which lat
ter enjoyment he look a full pail himself. Alto
gether tlie lecture not only afforded instruction,
but at the same time a great deal of mirth.
1 Tii.\NKBoitiNo Day avas very. generally ob

body likes it. Certain, sorts aro rather
than otherwise, and humbugging, (if-dono
gently and'skilfully,) is a pleasant sort ’of tiltilalion;
fiut our-Whig friends stems always to relish It, and
the gusto with which they receive it Is quite refresh
ing. Thus their whole dealings with, in, from, and
by .General Taylor, from first.to -last, furnish a case
in point. Thus all the sagacious sayings of (hat
profound statesman .have been carefully up,
and aro "familiar words” in the Whig family; though
we have not .heard of their having been established
among the people generally, or of their assuming a
place .among the bon motp of other-nations. They
seem to be confined to select circles. Perhaps they
will not extend beyond these. It Would be a pity to
deprive their keepers of tho pleasure (hey must foci
in repeating them over and over again. ~
Hut while wc wish nut to interfere with (ho family
interests of the Whigs , In regard to these precious
reminiscences,-wo cannot permit tho views of'bur
own distinguished statofcqien to lie mistcnrcscntcd.
Wo.have often hud occasion to correct errors of. this
sort, and wc expect, from tho limited conscientious
ness of our political opponents, to perform the,like
duty hereafter.’
Tlio lubl exploit at manufacturing “protection”
cttpilal is the assertion going the rounds oftlio Tuy*
lor press', llial Mr. Walker, Secretary of llm Treasury
under Mr* Polk, has abandoned his freo trade views,
and gone hcailily ngoinal the tariff of ,1846. The
nicana ol .this sudden conversion was—personal ob.
servation. Mr; Walker has-recently paid .a visit
to the interior of Pennsylvania, his native Stale,—
While at Polisville, when ho Itad an opportunity, of
witnessing the operation of the coal and iron business,
ho .was waited upon by a large number of persons,
without respect to parly, and forthwith the consoien.
lious press trumpet it forth to the country.that Mr. I
W. is a convert to the doctrine of protection I j
Now, of course, therein not a wordof (ruth in this
statement; and because of its shallowness, it Is next
lo useless lo refute it. But wo wish to suggest one 1
or two thoughts to our conscientious, ail-lhc-doccncy
opponents. It is some years since wc studied the
rules of evidence, but they have not entirely escaped
our memory. One of them, we recollect, intimates
that in order to render a story credible, it ought to
bo reueomblo in itself.. W© should esteem it a favor
If any one would show us how this rule wilt apply to
tho story in question. That Mr. Walker—who by
his splendid abilities brought tlio Treasury Depart
ment to the most admirable completeness—whose
reports in point of clearness and strength aland
second lo none since tho .foundation of the govern
ment—who permitted no sources of corrcol infoimU.
(ion to escape him—and who left (ho department in
a most'prosperous condition—that ho should abandon
a)) his theories, the fruit of years of patient toil, and
suddenly cast himself into the arms of high tariff
men—and all this brought to pass in the course of
of an evening’s sojourn at Pottsvillo—is not exactly
reasonable. It is supremely silly and absurd. The
other thought wo wish to suggest is that such state
ments arc not likely lo benefit the parly that circu
lates diem. In tho first place they are very 'likely (6
bo exploded, and secondly they presume rather far,
upon tlio common sense of common people. Very
common people reason more shrewdly than our, Whig
friends imagine. They know, for example, that a
staunch orthodox Scceder, or a confirmed Episcopa
lian would not instantly embrace Mormonisrh, oh.
seeing Prophet Smith perform one ofhis sham mira-.
clos: and it requires ho vast stretch of intellect lo
emutuda Hut Mr. Walker would be likely toaclivUli
an equal amount of independence. Wo recommend,
that If stories must bo gotten up, they be
likely slot lei—stories worthy of the occasion. We
approve the course of the man who, ns ho. could not
avoid swearing, sat down in his cool moments and
composed regular set forms of curses; and then he
used them with sublime effect when tho provocation
occurred. Let protectionists profit by the example;
and if they must unavoidabjy falsify, wc submit that
an ingenious plausible lie, is in its moral quality no
worso. than a flat one, while intellectually it may pos
sibly bo some extenuation that it is ingenious.
Since writing the above we have seen a letter to
the Pennsylvanian, from which wo make tho follow,
irg extract:
“During the evening ho spent here, Mr. WulKcr
was wailed upon by a largo number of gentlemen,
without distinction of party, who-were anxious to
have him spend some time in the coal region; which
invitation, owing to previous engagements, he was
obliged to decline. Sumo of our whig friends took
occasion to broach the subject of the tariff, the pros
tration of the coni trade, &0., which they attributed
to the ruinous effects of the tariff ofMG. ’fllr. Walker
|ivlencd very attentively until they wore done speak
ing, and then heaped upon them u few fuels from his
mental store-house, which not only effectually silen
ced the whole parly, but was sufficient to convince
the most sceptical that the tariff of M 3 was an ex
ploded Idea.".
Wo think Mr.Walkcr is not converted yell

HUMBUG.
When Taylor promiacd. lo.be Iho President of the
pooplo and nol.of,* parly—when Im reiterated ao
positively andfrequcnlly that he would yield himaoli
to no party schemes—when his friends told us that ho'
hated and loathed proscription, and would proscribe
no inun for opinion's sake, sensible men forsaw what
has since happened,.but all did ..not suspect that ill
would turn out so magnificent a humbug'as il really I
has. It is altogether unmatched In tbo'history of
(his country. ' The wonder is, that the authors of it
have apologists among those who have any self re*
spcct left. However, one humbug begets another,
still more monstrous than its predecessor. These
same parlisa ns are now actually deny ing that proacrip*
(ion for opinion's sake is practiced under the present
administration, and actually maintain'that Taylor &
I Co. have violated none of. their.-pledges.-. This last,
attempt at imposition surpasses 01l yet.- If Iho poo-., 1
plo enn stand it, than they are made to bo hum- 1
bugged, and well they answer the end- of their
being.
CHARITY.
Render, bo thou mian or woman, asks the Philadel

the friendless, homeless, and houseless?,' Does your
heart ever give utterance to Us noblest impulses, at
beholding poverty in tottering, .ago,,or seeing (he
child or miiforlund ask alms? The.present is the
lime to think of this, and to think seriously. The
winter, the dread visitor of the poor, is upon us.—
Many there are, in every community, who, by mis
fortune reduced, and by the cold ungrateful world
steeped in poverty, are yet as virtuous and descry
ing as those with whom fortune list-dealt more
kindly. Wo arc alt. brethren, the y children bl
one Gud, who “scelli.all.", Do not deal harshly with
those who have less of worldly goods. Remember
in the sight of Him, who rules winds and waves, all.
are alike, and all differences and distinctions ccaSo.
Bo charitable. The time may come when you will
be in the poor manVsilualion.- Turn not away tlje
seeker of alms from thy door. Let (hd noble attri
bute of your soul, charily, have its unbent sway.—
Give to tho poor—console the unfortunate—comfort
the distressed—encourage those in adversity, bo mer
ciful, kind, humane and charitable, and you will have
a covenant with Heaven, roebrded. by angels. - The
grateful, tears .of the relieved . will .besprinkle and

A Splendid Entertainment.—Tlio
correspondent of tlio Pliiladelphla in tils
loiter of tlio 28lh tilt/ thus speaks of Vparfy given
in that city by ono of the editors of thr Republic,—
It must have been a splendid affair, and'is'evidence,
wc think, that the editors of the President’s organ |
have not suffered much /from tho « ruin ” which |
they suy has been produced by tho tariff* of 1840. ,
Among tho festivities with which th* new session
of Congress was ushered ini it would be ungrateful
in mo not to mention tlio splendid entertainment |
given by Mr. Bullitt, one of the editors of the “ lie- ,
public,” on the occasion of moving into his house in 1
E street. It was decidedly the most monificcnl en
tertainment ever witnessed in Washington—the
While House particularly not excepted. It partook,
in quality, of tho best French style, and, in quantity,
of the true old English. It Mr. Bulbil hud given
on entertainment to the survivors of tho battle of
Buena Vlsto, they would have found plenty not only
to satisfy thuii appetites, but to gratify every taste.
Gov. Letehdr, the newly appointed ministorto Mexi
co, was omong iho invited guests. Various kinds of
French, Spanish, and Portuguese wines were produ
ced,and bets made on tho best Madeira, valued, at
815 a bottle, when that furnished by Mr. Willard, of
Willard’s Hotel, w#s almost unanimously pronounc
ed Iho best juice of tho grupo in Washington. So

Medical College, and Dr. Webster, Professor of
Chemistry in that Institution, has booh arrested and
committed to jail, upon suspicion of having commit

Lost evening, tho. mutilated remains of a body,
sbpposcd to bo those of Dr, Purkman, wore found
under Iho Medical Cdllege'i.whore he’was lust seen;
alive!’ At cloven o’clock, Professor Webster, of the
College, was arrested upon suspicion of having coni
milted*tile murder, and was’ lodged in jail. When
arrested lie displayed tho greatest agitation; Tho;
wliblb affair is about to undergo a rigid investiga
tion. Tho 'evidence is bcllevcd lo be wholly of a cir
cumstantial character.
A subsequent'dispatch says that - Dr. Pdrkrmin’s

icol College, in Dr! Webster's private room i trust ty*
burned. Dr. W. Is how confined In tho Levered

ANOTHER DESPATCH.
i Boston, Saturday night.
The excitement in the city growing but of the ar
rest of Professor Wooster, charged with tho murder
of Dr. Parkman! is very great. - About the furnace
of tho accused have ( becn found a jaw bone! some
■ buttons, and some gultl.,' Tho discovery of iho rc»
mains was first made by Mr. Littlefield, a pdr.tcr in
(ho College, who broko through a brick walJ liuo the
private vault, to which none, but'Mr. .Webster had
access. The friends of the latter are confident of his
innocence of (ho crime, but tho evidence'ls thought
sufficiently strong to hold him for trial, provided the
remains found cun bo identified. The excitement
prevailing to a very late .hour, the authorities have
found it necessary (6 order out the military to pre
vent a popular outbreak.
FURTHER DUCLOSURES.
Boston, Sunday afternoon.
Further disclosures have boon mndo to Hay*, reld«
ling to tho. supposed murder of Dr. Parkmhn, but
nothing.positive has been adduced to fasten the
charge of murder upon Professor Webster. In the
Professor's laboratory a chest has been lound, in (ho
bottom of which, covered with tar, further remains
of a mutilated body wero discovered. The feetand
arms have boen recovered; and tho fragments nro bo*
ing put together in their true position. A number
of chemists and physicians are eiigngodin analyzing
the osties;found in (ho grate of the room. , - .
The inquest will commence on Wednesday next.
Tho police assort that they have further Information
against (ho accused, which will not be divulged until
the gelling of the Coroner's inquest, ' .
-From (he peculiar shape of tho limbs, after (hey
had been- put together, there is but Utile doubt that
they.belonged to Farkmun. .
The accused, this morning, is very quiet and com
posed,'
Tho military were out last night, but no disturb
ance took place.-- .
Melancholy Sniotde at Niagara*
A , letter from Niagara Falls, of the S7lh nil,
•says i, - ’
Our Ttilngo was this morning thrown into a
deep gloom by a report that a young lady had
probably committed suicide here, during some
time last night, which is undoubtedly 100 true.—
The circumstances are as follows:
The train-of oars yesterday morning brought
hither a young woman of fine personal. appear*
once; and about twenty-five years of age, having
with her two bright looking boys, four arid six
years old. After taking rooms at the Kagle Ho
tel, she called for writing materials, and nothing
more was known of her until this morning, Be
tween seven and eight o’clock, the bell oflhe
room she had occupied was rung.by tho little
hoys.. They were enquiring for their mother.—
Upon the table was found three letters—one di
rected to'Major Miller, U*S, A., and one to the
Hon. John Norvell, Detroit, Mich., and one iq
the proprietor of lhe Eagle Hotel j also the ring
lets of oho side of her head, her gold watch, two
trunks of clothing, a silk puree containing some
gold and silver coins, and her wedding ring.
The children slate that their moihdr hod bid
them good-bye-and kissed thorn, after they had
gone to bed—that they had last come from Win
chester, Virginia, am) that their father was in
I Florida.
Enough has been found to warrant the belief
that the unfortunate lady leaped from tho bridge
that leads to Goat Island, and was swept over the
falls. Upon the second pier was found her bon
net, which had been trodden upon. .Her black
crape shawl was found tied to the railing of the
bridge, to let .her down- upon’ the pier, which, is
some six feel below the “railing. She undoubted
ly did this to indicate to those who should look
for her, that her mind was made up for the fear
ful leap into the yawning chasm below.. Her
father has been telegraphed, and the children have
been hmdiy taken charge of by iho Hon. Augus
tus S. Porter,. ■ ■ ■ • . - ®
The following is a copy of a letter addressed
by Mrs, Miller to Mr, White, of the Eaulo IW
tel i
2b the Proprietors of the Eagle Hotel t
My mind is made up. 1 have no wish to live
any longer. I shall go where my body will never

Please take care of my two little boys till they

reside. They are the sons of Major Miller gf the
army, n6w in Florida, and grand-sons of the Hon
