Death or tub Duke op Wellington. —The Foreign I nows by the Canada, announces tbo death of llio | Duke of Wellington, oh'Thursday, the Hlh ull., from an apoplectic fit. Arthur Wellesley, tho Duke of Wollinglori, eon of the. Earl otMornlngton was born in 1769,Jand was in his 84lh y»ar, at tho per!6d of Few oahicahavo bcotv'mo'ro re* Oow'ocd in history,-than that of the “Iron jDuko,” and fow men hive lived so long engaged 'fa the active affairs of life, or events ofsuch a rhomcn»juB t character. Ho colored tho Army aa an Ensign, Ik his 18th year. In hie Slat year ho'Was sent to tho House of Commons, To five years from tho time he > entered tho service, ho had reached tho command pfj a regiment, without having soon any active service. Tho Grat service ho saw, woe in India, against Tip poo Sultan, whoro ho speedily roso to the rank ol Major Gchcral. Noit ho was engaged in the Mo« liratta ivor, which,ho brought to a successful close.— In tbo Peninsular campaign in Spain and Portugal, ho did good service for his country, against Franco, and received tho title of Baron Douro, and Viscount Wellington, for fighting llio battles of Talovora, and tho Douro, against Soull. In 1615 ho, with Blucher* fought tho balllo of Waterloo, which destroyed Na* poloonV power In Europe. Ho has held the highest civil offices In the gift of tho Crown, and hod pen* •ions and honors showered upon him, such as no other person in England probably over received. His policy in political life, was always to cling to old institutions and systems, at long as they could safely bo maintained) and then to accept the now.— No nomo fa the history of England, of the present 1 century, has been connected with more momentous | events, than that of the Duke of Wellington. Tlio only argument, says tiio Bedford Gazette, cm ployed against Gon. Piekce by Fodoral Presses and Federal Speakers, Is low, scurrilous, personal abuse, destitute of any point logiro it force. The big whig and the little whig, all sing to the same note, each trying which can excel the other in giving utterance to llio lowest dregs of blackguardism. Mo wonder that Daniel Webster, President Fillmore, and all IhiT leading Whig members of Congress, turn away from such an association in utter disgust, and repudiate the candidate of their choice, Gon. Scott All tho VOLUNTEERS In the Mexican war, of any dis* linclion, both officer and private, go for the “gallant Pierce'* and oppose Scott!—-and they have all brand ed the slanderers of Pierce as fit associates for tho enemies of our common country! Such is tho ver dict of our glorious Volunteers—a verdict that wil bo fully endorsed by the Freemen of this country in November next. - - Thanksgiving Day. — It is expected, says a con temporary, that llio Governors of the various Stales will concur in a day of general thanksgiving this year as was done (ho last. Th it is as it should be. A few weeks since, five young girls entered the baths on tho Rhine, at Cologne. They wore hoard laughing and talking in,lhe bathing room which they occupied, when suddenly the noise ceased. Tiio mister of the establishment, feeling somewhat alarm ed, opened tho door, and found that tho floor had given away,and that the whole parly had fell through into the river and been carried away by the stream. (£7 George R. Macvarlane, Eiq., died at liis rcai. donee, in Ilollidsysburg, on the 27ih ull., from the clTi'Cle of injuries received at his brass foundry, by (ho falling of a heavy casting upon him. Tho unfortunate gentleman was immediately removed to liis residence, and ovary effort made for his relief, but lie expired in less than an hour. Tho deceased was widely known and universally esteemed. He was the proprietor and editor of the Keytlone, publish' cd at Harrisburg; an Associate Judge of BMr county; a prominent member of tho Sons of Tem perance; and thoGrsnd Warden nf tho Grand Lodge of the Indcndcnl Order of Odd Follow of Pennsylvania •• Sou* Bowls," of immense size, are now bcin made by the Feds, Which are placed on wheels fur the purpose of convoying their speakers, glee clubs and delegates to their different places of meeting.

Strange to relate, however, he was AC* oidentslly found on the ninth day, at a distance of six miles, by a party who were not in search of him, and si the time that a party who had sgula taken up the search, had got on his track, A dog had found the scent and led the first party to the spot* The little follow, when found appeared . quite un concerned, and gave a very sensible account of his adventures.' lib Whs afraid of bbing' ohaklUod for loitering in the woods, and did not return with lljo otliorjtMTdrin, and When Kb tried to got' biok ho oould not find his way.

During tho southern campaigns, a woman of mas culine energy of character lived on. tho bank of Broad River, in Georgia. Tho name of this heroine was Nancy Hart, and she was celebrated in that portion of tho country for her hostility to tho lories, und firm adhesion to the Whig cause. She took no p-uns to conceal her sentiments, and did 00l fear to confess them upenly. She unproved every opportu nity to serve her countrymen, regardless of conse quences to herself. Ono day site perceived a occurred that ho was pursued by tori«-> *rnv lug. 1 ' ive urged his panting steed madly onward. No pursuers were yet in sight, but loud shouts and exo Orations wero board in (ho rear. Mrs. Henri's cabin was constructed with a front and back door one being directly opposila tho other ; those doors sho msunlly throw open, leaving a free passage through miu a largo swamp behind it. < ‘Having dune this, she ran quickly and lofl down the bars in front of llio cabin, and waved her hand for the horseman to come on. lie obeyed the signal, und entreated Mrs. Heart to save liini; but ihoro vs os no necessity ho should do that, lur she was always ready lo assist her Country, men in dn-lrcas. •Ride through the cabin,' sho cried,'and into tho swump, ami leave (ho rest to mo ’ Tho man followed her directions without loss of time, and wm soun in the depths ol tho swamp. M n>. Hart quickly replaced, the burs and closed the doors These arrangements were scarcely completed, when tho pursuers came up. They stopped at the houtu and shouted lor uur heroine to appear. Alter a little lime she did so, with her head and face wrapped up in shunts. •What do yon want?' she cried. 'Why do you dis tress a poor, sick woman 7’ •Wo aro in pursuit of« notorious rebel,' (hoy ans wered ; 'and waiitkd to ask if you had seen him pass (his w«y«* ‘What kind of a florae was, ho on 7' asked Mrs. (lari, resolved to retain them as long as possible. 'A sorrel hurso,' replied tho lories. 'With a short mu no and tail /’ sho continued. ‘Ves,' was the reply. 'Aod the man wore—' 'Nevor mind what ho wore !' interrupted the lead er, impatiently. 'lf I do not know wl|al ho wore, how can I tell whether I have seen him 7’ irjoincd Mrs. Hart. 'Hang it, have you seen anybody 7' reiterated the tory, angrily. 'Yes, I saw a man on a sorrel horse, turn off Into the woods about two hundred yards back.' Tho lories w heeled thoir’horses end galloped away, completely deceived. A few days aflcr this event, a party of roynliats from the British camp in tho interior, called it her cubin,having heard something of the deception which sho had practiced to save (ho life of a follow being. They wero five in number,'and fresh from scones of plunder and bloodshed. They entered without the observance of ceremo ny, and the loader began to question Mrs. Ilartabout tho escape of (ho Whig. ‘I hoar, on (ha way, that you lately assisted a rascally Whig to escape from a party of ode men,' ho said. •That's tree enough,'eho replied, nothing daunted. •1 opened my cabin doors, lot down the bars, and he rodo through inlp tho swamp. When hia pursuers bamo Up, I pulled (ho wool over their eyes 'finally, and they galloped off in another direction. •And you daro to boast ofil!' exclaimed the lea der. •1 dare say what 1 please (a my own house,* re lumed Nancy. •Got us something to eul,' he added. •1 have got nothing in the cabin,' rejoined Nancy. Your friends have stolen all my pigs and poultry.' •Thoro is a turkey,' said (ho tory, pointing td (ho yard. •It Is (ho last I have,’ replied our heroine. The tory shot U down, and Mrs. Hart Was ordered to prepare and cook it. She unwillingly complied, and while thus employed, laid a plan lor Ilia destruc tion other visitors. At a short distance from tho cabin was a spring, from which slid obtained water for culinary purposes. Near it wns concealed a horn, which was employed by Mrs. Hart to warn her hutband and neighbors of tho proximity of enemies. By giving it certain sounds agreed upon by Mr. Hart was U> know what was passing at homo; whether hia presence and tbdl of his neighbors was required, or whether he should botako himself to the swamp, or keep within a certain distance, prepared to alike his appearance when wanted. Wlille Mrs. Hart was preparing the fowl, alio sent her little girl (a child often years) to tho spring for water, with directions to blow tho horri ill a certain manner; for she had been previously Instructed irt (he art of making tho signals. The signal ‘to be on hand v»W| some of (ho neighbors,' was made, and the girl returned With thb waleK “ Wbal’e,that born blowing foil" asked one of theturlea. . ( To warn liny husband lo keapbui of (he way,* replied Kan'ey,boldly. “ Wo should liko to gbl hold of him," rejoined tho loader, with aa oath. “ Wo*d make bln dsneo in the air." Tho fowl was cooked in duo time and placed be fore the torioe. One of them complained that it wna ‘Mough t ”to which Nancy remarked “that it waa plenty good enough foMorieu." “ Give us aome water to wash it down with, old woman,” added another. “Jane.”cried Mr.. Hart to tho lltllo girl, who Blood at the door, as she had been instructed to do “ go end gel some more water, and bo quick about it." J&uo caught tbo pall and rsn to the spring a*, fast as her nimble feet could carry her. Presently Mrs. Hart heard tho signal for her husband to oomo to her assistance as quickly as possible. M Tb° ra ’> that horn again !“ cried tho loader.— “ What are you at now, old woman ?” *' Tolling ray husband (hat my guests are not gono “I forbid you to do it Again," -JJ.J ttio tuiy emphatically. The lories bad placed Choir muskets in a row against the wall. By slipping a piece of wood from between (ho logs, Mrs. Hart contrived to make an aperture largo enough to pass out two to the little girl, but while In the act of banding bor a third, aho was detected. The Cories sprang to their feel, tut (ho heroic women presenting tho musket, threatened to shoot tho first who stirred. While standing irresolute, Mr. Hatt and tho neighbors rushed In and secured thorn all. On account of tho many acta of cruelty which they had committed at various times, no rher cy was extended to them; they were executed on (ho spot. This incident is well authenticated, and may bo relied upon os being literally truo. OeVirlng’s Straits and the China Seas. Among tho Items in tho Navy Appropriation Bill which hus become a law, (hero is ono to the amount of ono hundred and twenty thousand dollars for tho biting out of a squadron fur tho survey and rocon noissance of Behring's Straits, (ho Arctic Ocean, and the courses of trade between America and Chins. This is an important enterprise end pregnant with promises of useful rcsolls. The possession ol the Pacific coast ee Ihn Wo*, lorn boundary of our territory, and tho rapid growth of communities and commerce there, devolve, now upon the government new responsibilities and duties In connection with the new oooao empire which has thus come under our away. Tho Atlantic, so long. the thoroughfare of our trade with Europe and Afri ca, lias become familiar throughlout its whole ex panse. But tho Pacific is comparatively a new -world of waters. Mr. Senator Seward, from whose ad mirable speech on tiio subject of this proposed sur. vcy we quoted eomo weeks ago, in reference chiefly to (ho •whale fishery, grounds his advocacy of the expedition in question upon the broad and Comprohon. •ive basis of tho wants of commerce, tho require monls of tho ago, and llio great national interests which make it our special duty to carry it forward. Ho slates in reference lo tho Pacific and its adjoin ing seas that not only has no Asiatic prince, merchant, or navigator ever explored this Ocean, but that they have forbidden that exploration by European navi gators, who hove perlurmed whatever lias been done ut the peril, and ol ton at the cost of imprisonment and dealt). Wo have made no accurate survey our- iclvcs, lor we have just arrived und taken our stand >n the Pacific coast; and yet maps and charts aro as ip iijp BOtt-fannw,iiinu iu>.jnonu ucnls and guides arc to him who traverses deserts if unimpressible sand or wastes of (tackles snow. The cuuisu ol the whole fishery fur soma few years past renders a survey of the sous contiguous to Beh ring's Straits particularly important to that interest, in whioh our naval and commercial prosperity is so deeply concerned. Tho whales, driven from their old haunts by tho constant persecution of their hun ters, huvo found a now retreat in the scae ol Ouho- tusk and Anadir, smith of Behring’s Straits, and in (hat part of llio Arctic Ocean lying north of thorn. But tho navigation of those waters is besot with dangers for tho want of charts founded on accurate surveys. The expedition fur this useful service now to be organized is everywhere spoken of with favor. It mems to meet with genor«l Approbation, as an enter l»riso called for by naliumil obligations, not only to aur own commercial interests but in llioso alto ol the whole commercial world. Wo hoar it stated in severul quarters as a cuirvnt rumor that the command of the squadron will bo given to Commander Ring gold, than whom there is probably nu officer in the Navy bettor filled tot such a boivico. Ha command ed one ol the vessels oi tho Exploring Expedition under Captain Wilkes, and acquired much distinc tion by the manner in which he discharged tiie responsible duties of his trust in that arduous and perilous enterprise. Ills more recent survey of the coast ol California has s.till further illustrated his peculiar capabilities fur such undertakings. We hope (ho rumor which assigns him tu the command of the now Expcdilon may prove (rue. Such an appointment ae an initiate lathe enterprise would lurnisli a happy augury and give a fair assurance ol succcsalul results. —Baltimore American.
