JEREMIAH S.BLACK OF SOMERSET COUNTY. CANAL COMMISSIONER : HENRY S. MOTT, OF PIKE COUNTY. {£7* Wc invite the attention of our readers to the short and comprehensive speech of Senator Douglass, in another column, delivered to a large concourse of people in New York city— It explains the principles and objects of the Nebraska Bill in a few words, and is a trium phant answer to Whig misrepresentation con cerning this great .constitutional measure. — Read it carefully, and then say whether any true American is justifiable in opposing the principles contained in the Nebraska Bill. American Charge D'Affiiires to the Ecuador Republic has transmitted to the State Department a scries of official documents and extracts from the papers of the country, show ing the liberal feeling with which the govern ment and people have guarantied the free navi gation of the Amazon. and the earnestness with Which they invite the settlement of Americans amongthem. The Minister of Foreign Adairs has granted to the American company, who have been the first to attempt the regular navigation of the Amazon, the most liberal protection, and enjoined upon the authorities the granting of every assistance they may need. Tnu Hard Shells Address Wo clip the following from the Day Book ■ —••We have re ceived the address of the Ilnrd Shell members of Congress to then Constituents, giving their reasons for voting against the Nebraska Bill, and have read it. If this is all they have to say for themselves, the sooner they go over to the Abolitionists the better. They do not offer • single reason that is nut good against any and every measure of their parly, and not one that fntght not be offered os a reason for voting for Wm. 11. Seward. In short, wc should say Dorn reading this address that they are abont the best Seward men in the slate. We con gratulate Horace Greeley and Thurlow Weed on this new accession to their ranks.” ID* The principle of liberty of conscience, that the Constitution of the b nited States guar antees to all sects, has just been again deflated in the British Parliament, which has decided that Jews shall not hold a seat in that body, tmlcss they subscribe upon “the true faith of a Christian,” in taking the members'oath. Ix>rd John Russel endeavored to have this civil disa bility removed from the a majority in the House, of four only, defeated the trea sure., _ England, while forcing, Sultan Turkey to extend civil equality tohls ChristiaJf subjects, denies it to aportion of hcroivnpopu lation. , ... ./■ 017“ The Philadelphia News, a Whig-Know- Nothing sheet, has told its readers some dozen times that wo “hold the birth of Post-master at Carlisle.” Who has contradicted tliis, that the News has to repeat its information al>oiit every third day ? Now we think Hint paper is wasting both ink and paper in reiterating a matter that nobody denies. When the editor of the News was discarded by Ins own part\ and defeated for Assembly m the strong Whig city of Philadelphia, we only announced the fact once, and when he was charged by men of his own party with Legislative corruption. «V only referred to the matter in one number ofonr paper. A once told tale is enough, we should Chink, and it is strange the Sews never kmw this. Another Change or N \.mk. —We see by t' e Philadelphia papers, that the church burning incendiaries of that city, who formerly acted Under tho name of “Native Americans,” having first disgraced and then grown ashamed of that appellation, have discarded the prefix 'Native,' and now style themselves simply ,duirriraiis. Wo think the term j4ugfo-Amcrican would be their most proper and appropriate cognomen, for in feeling, sentiment and action they are es sentially and unequivocally Jinhsb' However, in tho alacrity with which they assume a uric and discard an old name, they but imitate the example of and show their close aflinity to their allies tho Whigs, to which party they are but mercenary auxiliaries. The Democratic party is always the same, in nam* , principle and ac tion; tho IVhig party, on the contrary, although clinging pertinaciously to tho anti-republican dogmas of old federalism, has assumed as many different aliases ns did ever n cunning rogue in his endeavors to shun the lour walls of a Peni tentiary I respectfully decline a discussion with tho Shippcnsburg News on tho subject of tho Nebraska bill, simply because we could not ex pect to gain laurels by harpooning pissnurcs. Tho assertion of the immaculate editor that during the whole progress of the Nebraska ques tion wo expressed no opinion one way or the other, ahd only declared ourself favorable to the measure after the bill had passed Congress, is an Unblushing and intentional falsehood—such a falsehood as none but tin abandoned libeller would put forth. Now it is well known to our readers that we have advocated that great mca aurtffrom tho first, in nearly every number of tho Volunteer* We tho Democratic Stato Convention for neglecting to endorse the course of tho members of Congress from this State who favored.tho passage of this measure. This was long before tho bill had passed tho Senate. Nay, more—we declared ourself favor- oblo to the principle recognized by the Nebras- bill many years ago, and in answer to the of the Chambersburg Whig, (in anoth er column,) the sage of the News can discover what views wo held on this subject in December, 1847. But, enough. Our course has been and fa approved by tho Democracy of this county, and wo care very Httto what hired scribblers for defunct Federalism may say of that course.— Again wo must decline tho Aoitor of having any discussion with tho editor of tho News , having always made it a rule never to waste our amu nltlon upon small game when there were pig •ona in the woods! SO WE SAT, In the Izst Repository fy Whig, of Chambers? burg, is contained an article, headed * 4 Let the issue be made,” and so say we—with all our heart. The would'he Auditor General of Penn sylvania endeavors to be quite severe upon us, because we have given utterance to sentiments which we have long entertained, on the subject or slavery in the territories, and the rights of the people of the territories over that subject, while at the same time we happen to hold the office of Deputy Postmaster under.the General Government, This is the second lime that the i editor of the Il'Sig has made the charge that our opinions arc moulded by the paltry office we hold, or by the opinions of those from whom •Avc received the appointment. Now this is not only ungcnllemanly, but it is untrue. We would not change our opinions for the sake of office, neither would wc change our opinions to retain office. What we have stated on the sub ject of the Nebraska and Kansas bill, has been entirely in accordance with our long settled convictions. And this statement the editor of the Whig is bound to receive, or else he is de- ; sirous to become personally offensive to us. His remarks are gross, coarse, and ungcnllemanly, and he appears to glory in scattering broadcast the vilest insinuations about motives, Ac. The following extract is a specimen of the style and manner of his criticisms : The Carlisle Volunteer, edited by an office holder of course, has worked Its courage up to the sticking point, and is even ambitious to con vince the party and tho world how low a man can crawl under the lash of his master. Like every other Locofoco paper in Pennsylvania, the Volunteer never dreamed of the idea of “popu lar soverignty” until President Pierce bid it do so ; and allhongh we remember having'read that paper some eight years, we never learned frofn it that the Missouri Compromise restricted the principle of scli-government, or was in any oth er respect wrong, until the decree was made that repeal was to be a test of Locofoco orthodoxy. But now that the extension ol Slavery is engraft ed into the Locofoco creed as one of its cardinal principles, the Volunteer seems to glory in its shame, and to take pride in revamping tho false hoods of tho higher class of hired organs. ,ll not only discovers that the-Missouri Compro mise is unconstitutional and infimious, but it has assumed the responsible duty of thinking and judging lor the whole people of tho State, and all who fall to bow tho knoo as office-holders mus/ bow or lose thoif heads, nro denounced as Abolitionists and ns seeking to deny to tho peo ple of tho territories “tbe right to form their on n constitutions.” Our readers can judge of the taste with which the editor makes his comments. The following is the extract which has excited this Whig Ab olition editor’s wrath and stirred up his cab bage. Wc reiterate the same sentiments now : “Because the Nebraska-Kansaa bill has finally passed both Houses of Congress, and thus sc oured to the people who may inhabit those ter- ritories the right to form their own Constitn lions, the Whigs and Abolitionists send forth doleful lamentations, and are loud in their de nunciations of those who voted for this great constitutional principle. But, let our Demo- cratic IViendS-stand firm—let them meet their opponents on this question, and put them down by the power of argument. The Democracy of Pennsylvania are ready to make this question the issue before the people If our opponents de sire it.” And although this very knowing editor says he has read our paper for “some eight years.” he never krvjw,.us to entrain the sentiments we liaVfc lately expressed in the above extract. Wc 9,an only say that the editor has read our paper ,to very little purpose, and shows a disposition to make reckless assertions without regard to truth, or without caring whether they aro true or not, so that they accomplish a temporary purpose.‘* ; Long before the passage of the Com promise bills of 1850, we advocated the princi ple of popular sovereignty in the territories hkelv to bo acquired from Mexico, and conten- ded strenuously that the Missouri Compromise, equally with the Wilmot Proviso, was uncon stitutional. On referring to our files, we find that so far back as the 80lh day of December, lr-17. seven years ago. wc made the following .remarks upon this subject, when we neither Kgld olficc or expected to hold office under the gcKeral administration : •‘The Congress of tho United States, under the '(institution, we believe, have no power, wlmt \er over the subject. If they acquire territory, h they aro likely to do, as indemnity for the. mirages commuted against us by Mexico, and uid us the necessary result of tho just war wo are io\\ waging with that nation, they arc utterly mwerleas to say whether It shall bo free or whether it ahull be slave territory. Congress vnght not to be required or expected to do a vain >r useless thing. The question of slavery is ox •lusivi ly a mailer ol domestic policy, which be rings to ear’ll State by virtue of its soverignty, which it never surrendered to the Federal Gov ernment. It is expressly declared in the run dilution of the IT. States that “tile powers not lelegated to tho Ctilled States by tho Constitu- tion, m>r prohibited by it to the States, are re served tib-Uie States respective)} , or to the peo ple."—Article in. Amendments. Con. LT. S. Congress, then under the Constitution, 1 as no power to declare whore slavery shall exist, or where it shall not exist, In the acquisition of any territory by tho Union. If It had such power, 1 it can abolish slaver}’ now in the several States, where that institution is tolerated, or establish slavery where it Is not. And If tho view taken hy the adherents of the Missouri Compromise be the true one, it proves 100 much for their purposes, and places a weapon In tho hands of the proviso men, which may eventually strike dow a their domestic institutions, and prostrate their cherished interests. if tho Federal Government can say that to such a line slavery may bo tolerated, and to such a line no slavery shall exist, It is surrendering tho subject to the discretion of Congress, and Is conceding all that tho most rapid Abolitionist can desire. Either tho power exists, or It does not. If It docs, how long will tho South have any guarantee that tho line of 86 degrees, 80 minutes north latitude, fixed in the Missouri Compromise, will not bo supplanted by another, more consonant to tho disen lion of somoCongroqs which may assemble in tnturo, who may sny that slavery shall not bo tolerated north of 30 degrees north latitude, in tho territory which they may admit Into the Union, or acquire by conquest, or as indemnity. Tho truth is, this power was never delegated by the States or (ho people to the Federal Government. Tho institution of slavery is entirely a matter of local concernment. Virginia or South Carolina may abolish slavery if they choose. Massachusetts or Pennsylvania may establish slavery in their borders If they see proper to do so. ilow Idle then to bo wasting words, or fighting windmills, about a matter which in llic end can result in nothing. If the proviso men carry their point, they gain nothing, and If the Missouri Compromise men gain thclr’s, they aro no bettor off than tho friends of tho pro viso. The people Olsthoj\pquired territory will decide that mutter fo* themselves at Inst. Why not then drop this firo brand, throw away this apple of discord, which at best will turn to ash es on tho Ups of those who attempt to cat it?— Lot ns insist on indemnity being given by Mex ico, but say nothing whatever on the subject of slavery. This is tho true ground—it is tho only conj/t'fuf/ona/ ground which can bo occupied.— Tills was Joficrsons’s position, lie was opposed to tho Missouri Compromise, but acquiesced In It after It was made, for tho sake of peace. That compromise was tho result of forced circum stances, and was not satisfactory to those who loved tho constitution ns Its framers made li lt poured oil on the troubled waters for a time, but it was not a final adjustment of tho vexed difficulty as passing events now prove.” Will, now, the editor of the Whig make us the amende honorable ? A COMBINATION TRIUMPH* JudgeCoNnAD,th6Precsoil-Abolition-Nativ(s Prohibitron-Know-Nolhing-Whig candidate for Mayor inAhe consolidated city of Philadelphia, has been elected over V.vux, the Democratic candidate, by a majority of over 8,000. This result wc looked for os a matter of course, well knowing that the Democracy could not com pete with the formidable combination arrayed against it. Judge Conrad was the regular nominee of every faction of the city, and by some kind oflcgcrdcmain succeeded in securing, the united support of them all. All these fac (lions claim his election as their triumph. The ’ Native papers crow lustily over what Ibcy.caU “a great Native triumph the Know-Nothings shout loud oyer.their “victory.;” the.ultra tem perance men arc.boasting of the success of their “regular tickct,”andlast andlcast,the remnent ; of the old Federal lYhig party, raise a feeble shout because of the “brilliant Whig victory.” ; Thus each faction claim Judge Conrad’s elec tion as fActr victory. Wo predict the;.Mayor | elect will find it a much more difficult matter to satisfy the cravings of these diffcrenjUactions than he may have imagined*. He has been suc cessful in making them all believe'that their peculiar views corresponded with his own, and that he would dispense his immense patronage to them with a liberal hand. But his difficul ties will begin when *thc men who supported him ask for their reward. Tboihyinds ol them will find out that they have been duped, and then the factions will wage war against each other, and a Kilkenny fight will be the result. Notwithstanding the defeat of Mr, V ads, his position to-day is more honorable than that of his success ml rival. He scorned all bargains with chqnm, and refused all promises to intol erent facUons. Ho proclaimed himself a Dem ocrat and nothing else, and with this dcclara t lion he was willing to stand or fall. Helms been. ; defeated, but be maintains his'integrity and j the integrity of the Democratic party. Soon j will he see the factions that combined to defeat him crumble to pieces, and disappear like chaff | before the wind. The game of fraud and de ception may succeed .for a time, but the hearts of the people are still true, and their “sober sec ond thought is alwaj's right and ever efficient.” i The democracy cannot be put down by the stratagems of Federalism, no difference what I name that party may assume to accomplish • their nefarious purposes. ' Liitest Californian News. Two weeks later intelligence fitira California has been received by an arrival at Ncfl* Orleans. The French* Consul at San Francisco, having been arrested and taken into court to testify in the case of the Mexican Consul, has struck his flag, and will not raise it again until ordcrcd.to do so by the Emperor. The Mexican Consul-' was found guilty of violating the neutrality laws, but recommended to the mercy of the court. Colonel Fremont had arrived* at San Francisco with his party completely broken up. Only tM#nty men remained wkh him, the great er portion of his original party having deserted after crossing the Colorado. The ship Golden Fleece has been totally wrecked in the harbor of San Francisco, and the barque Walter Clnx ton has been capsized there with the loss of thir teen lives. The steamer Gazelle Ims. burst her boiler on Ihd Columbia river, Oregon, killing twcnty-flvopersons and wxmndiiig tliiky.othcrs. , Significant. —The first act of tho Russian Cabinet on tho receipt of tho intelligence of (he treaty between Prussia and Austria, says the PHiadclphia Ledger, recognizing the indepen dence of the Lower Danube, as a part of the Sultan's dominions, to be an important con- ' dition of the interests nfGermany, and contem plating a summons to Russia (q 'evacuate the Principalities, was to double ihr levies of men fur the current year. Tho Czar set-ins deter mined to makegood his woid.s that bo “would never yield." England and France arc both also increasing their armies. The allies seem at last to see the magnitude of the task they have undertaken and are now preparing for a long and terrible war. Their first efforts were those of intimidation only : but Nicholas has shown that he is not to be deterred from Ins purpose by a mere show of force, and that be can give blow for blow when it conies to the close en counter. The Black Warrior Affair. —lt has al ready been announced that the Spanish govern ment had agreed to remit the fine of £O,OOO imposed on the owners of the Black Warrior.— It now appears by the despatches and letters to the Spanish and English Ministers to our own government, that the Spanish government posi tively refused to allow any damage that may have resulted to the owners of the Black War rior. But the F.ngUsh government fearing a rupture between Spain om\ the United States, interposed at this point of negociations and in duced Spain to agree to pay all reasonable losses. Spain has accordingly asked our government for an estimate of the actual damages. This difficulty, therefore, as far as money isconcern ed, may bo considered as settled. Health of Lirrria. —One of the great ob jections urged by tho opponents of Coloniza tion has been the mortality of the climate of Liberia. Late advices however, affirm that the ratio of deaths is smaller than in this country. The Public Ledger speaks our anticipations in regard to this enterprise: A century hence, when Africa shall have been civilized to a great degree, through the influence of Liberia, and when a great ami free Common wealth will stretch along tho western coast and far into tho interior, tho services of those who founded the colony, and the momentous char acter of tho undertaking will bo universally, re cognized. Wo but anticipate tho verdict .of generations to come when wo pronounce the establishment of Liberia one of tho greatest movements of ttio age. •_ A Sad Picturk to Look Upon. —One morn ing lost week, says the Philadelphia North A meriemi, a young man, who had once bccuja bright shining star in a popular profession, wjis brought to tho office of the marshall of Police, in a state of intoxication. He was laboring under delirium tremens. Rum had rendered him friendless and homeless, and he had become a street vagrant. Begging to bo pcnnitftd to go to tho house of a kind hearted old lady who had known him in youth, and who had promis ed him shelter and assistance if hewouldreform, his request was complied with. Ho had hard ly gone a square, however, before his resolution failed him, and the same evening ho was found by an officer among a set of vagabonds, stripp ed of his shoes and coat, which ho had parted with to gratify his insatiable thirst for the poi son that was consuming both body and mind. Tho unfortunate victim was Beat to the Alms house- THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OP r illE COUNTRY. Tho great national democratic Party of the Union, says tho Baltimore Republican If Argus, is the parly under whose guidance the Republic has advanced with giant strides to its present proud cnnncncc.’ ..Under tho fostering care of those liberal principles which the Democratic party have ever maintained, our States have In creased from thirteen to thirty-one —onr popu lation from three millions to twenty-six mil lions ; while the improvement of tho country has kept pace with the increase of itsinlmbi .tnnts. What is there, in this view, to induce any right thinking man to‘abandon his party or his principles to take up. with any new aud untried organization. The principles ofthc Democratic party proclaim ag their primary object the se curity of an equality of rights and privileges to all men; they assume that nil true legislation is intended to secure the greatest good to the greatest number. What belter principles docs any other,organization proclaim? What greater good does any other party propose to accom plish? Arc not the principles of the democratic party the principles of the gospel? Arc not its ends the elevation of Immunity and the estab- lishment of the great brotherhood of man ? Do not itS'Hgamcnts bind together the true men of the North and the South, the East ami the West, and thus preserve our groat Union from the curse of sectional warfare and civil strife 1. Why, then, we repeat, should any good citizen leave the ranks of such a party ns this lo enroll himself beneath some sectional banner, whose solo end must be a temporary triumph - at the expense of those great cardinal principles upon the observance of which rc.‘ts the future peace and perpetuity of our national organization.- We confess wo can see no motive for deserting the standard of democracy, hut a thousand good reasons why the friends of (lie Union and the friends of equal rights should adhere with un flinching firmness to that organization which has effected s 6 much good in the past, and through which so many triumphs and so many blessings have been sccnrol.. We believe the principles of tho demoerjUt/party are in con formity with the inunutahle principles of jus tice, and that the happiness of the masses is in dissolubly connected with the perpetuity o£- those great landmarks which have been set .ujU in the past history of the parly. With ’tljfcHf' views, we honestly adhere to our old principles and trust confidingly to lh4 “ sober second thought,” which will assuredly come hack to the conclusion that principle is a much safer guide in all eases than mere cr]>rilicncy. Ouu Spanish Relations.— We are gratified to be able to state, says the Star, according to authentic information nowin Washington, there can bo little doubt thatoiir affairs with Spain 'rill one and all bo speedily and adjusted. It seems to be well understood a mong the foreign Ministers here, that the Span ish'Cabinet Imre met all the propositions of the American government in n spirit of frankness and cordiality almost u&fxiunplul in the pre vious history of our relations with that Power. Indeed, they (the arc now satisfied that there is, at this moment, a better feeling and nndorstnndingpbelween the cabinets of the United States than between those of the latter powerjbbo the one side, and Frrthce and England On the other. On Satur day last there arived in'thin city, privately, a bearer of despatches to the Spanish Embassy, Just post haste from Madrid. He is sjiid to fie a lending public man at home. We have not yet learned his name and title, though we know that lie has-been in close consultation nioi e than once with the new Spanish Minister.

Ouu Coai. Rkuion. —The capacity and fu ture prospects of the Wyoming coal field, says the Luzerne Union, furnish a subject of both local and general interest. Tho wide world docs not exhibit a spot, where such a mass of fuel is deposited for tho benefit of generations to come. No coal field has over been discovered, which unites such a quantity, quality, and cheapness of mining. The bjisin is uniform, and tho different veins arc found in regular stra ta. Tho coal is the purest anthracite, adapted to every domestic use, to all steam purposes, and to the making of iron. The supply may be said to bo inexhaustible. The industry of centuries, with the increasing demand, cannot remove this vast deposit. It is estimated by the most experienced miners, who have studied our coal formation, that in the centre of our Valley, wo hove not less than seventy feet of coal in the different veins under thg surface. — The quantity under each aero would almost surpass belief. With a coal deposit so rich, the future prospects of Wyoming Valley must be onward and upward. We shall soon have a bcc-hivo of operators, miners and laborers—all earning and coining money. Pennsylvania and Baltimore.—Central Pennsylvania finds a largo market for its pro ducts in the city, of Baltimore. It appears that during the single month of May, the following articles passed over tho Baltimore and Susquo hanna Rai1r0ad2,083,059 feet of lumber, 8,422 bbls. flour, 4,474 bushels wheat, 4,582 bushels rye, 8,627 gallons milk, 5,978 tons of coal, 2,827 bbls. whiskey, 970 cords wood, 612 tons marble, 312 tons marketing, 401 tons iron ore, 1,153 tons pig iron, 100 tons groceries, 1,- 900 hogs, 842 tons bacon, 328 tons salt pork, 7 tons cheese, 404 tons lard, 20 tons butter, 3,388 tons lime, and 1,785 tons limestone.

County Democrat, in reviewing the present position of parties, says: “As we will soon bo in the. midst ’of another exciting gubernatorial contest, it is proper to cast our eyes along the political, horrizon to ascertain, if possible, whether the signs betoken victory or defeat for, tho Democracy. « Checringly do our eyes greet a firm and unwavering host, ready and eager for the fight, on whoso banners may be found inscribed—“the Union—its perpetuity and progress”—the same ensign under which the democracy have so often marched to glori ous victory. Everything indicates the trium phant election of our State ticket, should the democracy maintain the same feeling which now pervades their ranks. Union and lmrnion} r aru essentialelcmentsof success, aud we fondly hope that every democrat will see the absolute neces sity of preserving our thorough organization.— United, wo may confidently expect another tri umph of tho principles of that party under whose guidance we have arrived nearly at the acme of national greatness. United, no obstacle can bo thrown in our way to impede our pro gress or endanger our success. Our ticket is headed by one whom it should be a pleasure for every democrat to support.— No official act of Ins administration is blamcablc, nor has our State ever enjoyed greater prosper ity than under the administration of William Bigler. Ever watchful of the interests of tho State he has faithfully, honestly and democrat ically administered the government—winning for himself not only the admiration of the good and great of his own, but.of our sister slates. His messages are quoted in every part of our grtat confederacy—being based upon sound, principles—breathing nothing but gOifyinc democracy; andovincinga tmeandun wnvpring devotion to therintcrcsts of the Com monwealth. His administration, thus far, has been eminently successful, and we have every reason to believe that he will be triumphantly re-elected. That he will be, there is no doubt, if the democracy but remain true to themselves and tho principles which “has made and pre served us a nation.” But should dissension crccp into our ranks, through local divisions or otherwise, our bright anticipations may lie blasted and our hopes of success never realized. can only hope for success, when sectional bickerings and petty jealousies sow the seeds pf disorganization in our ranks ; hence -tho necss.ty of a firm determination lo preserve paccand harmony m our party. In the coming contest we will not only have to meet our old opponents, the whips, but a combination of wings, natives and abolitionists, an organization rather formidable, but which can be overwhelmingly defeated by tho united notion of tho democracy. Toko Warning by Your Cucmlcf, Mr. Jefferson, in oneof his most eloquent letters, says the Washington Union, declares that democratic measures arc often carrud ns much by the wanton violence of their enemies os upon their own intrinsic merits. This sound truth holds good, and is repeatedly confirmed and illustrated, to this day. We ni-c admonish ed eloquently by the abuse and the desperation of such fanatics as disclose their fell designs in the anger of disappointment and defeat. Mr. Seward ’scooland complacent harangues against the institutions of thp South, apd hence against the constitution—that of Thursday evening, for instance, when lie seemed desirous, of goad tho friends of the Union b/ his hgaytidscrand in cendiary philosophy—these things, revolting as they ISO} of useful instructions (o us. Who supports that Senator Sumner, while he advocates the clergy of New England in one breath, and tries to induce a Boston mob tons sassinatc southern men in pursuance of their rights—who supposes that his sentiments do not full upon the public mind almost as so many profanitiesagainst the Almighty himself ? Take next the treasonable tirades of the New York Tribune, which seems to regard the South as one great powder magazine, ami itself as com missioned to fire the train and blovyiijiousands of human beings into eternity. Do we not de rive from such exhibitions ns these new Ideas of our own obligations and duties—new insight into the dangers that our common coun try ? KT’* Count Nesselrode, it is said, has been in sulted by the people of St. Petersburg. On passing through the streets in his carriage he was hissed, hooted and menaced, and was forced to take refuge in the house of a friend. He was accused by the people of being the cause of the war, of not having taken sufficient care to pro vide against its casualties, and of having shown indificrcncc and negligence. Put whatever be the cause, the symptoms of popular indigna tion wore not to be mistaken. It is probable that the inhabitants of St. Petersburg have al ready began to feel more severely than the peas ants of the interior tho evils which war brings with it. They arc nearer to those parts which are exposed to hostilities, and they must bo a mong the first to suffer. Washington's Faubwhi.l Addrf.ss. —We notice a statement in one of tho newspapers, says tho Harrisburg Borough Item, that a clergy man, wo believe in one of the New England States, has translated thfa important document into the German language, and that several thousand copies had been sent to Washington City, and from thence distributed throughout the country. This is well enough; but we are certain that tho translator did not know that tho Legislature of Pennsylvania, uniformly, for the last fifty odd years, had a translation made and from five to ten thousand copies in German and double that number in English printed an nually, and circulated. We believe that Penn sylvania is tho only State in tho Confederacy that pays this mark of respect to the memory of tho “Father of his Country.” His native State docs not do this much. OIT'A correspondent of the Philadelphia Led ger suggests the use of the skins of dogs slaugh tered by tho dog catchers in tho manufacturing of riding and driving gloves for ladies and gen tleman. Cloves made from this material arc said to bo superior to any other for this pur pose, and that there is not a dog whoso skin is not worth more than the cost of catching kill ing and preserving. A Long Fast.—A handsome young woman from Bremen recently arrived in New York, and, with a friend, proceeded to Wisconsin.— While returning from there, she lost her friend in tho cars, and being unable to speak a word of English, and entirely destitute of money, she went three days and three nights without tast ing a particle of food. At the end of that time, she received assistance in New York. Governor Bigler, In noticing tho recent address prepared by Governor Bigler for tho opening of -the House of.Kefuge for delinquents, tho Boston Post In dulges Iho following-well■ deserved compliment to ournblo Qhlef.Mngistrato.; ' The now House of Rbfdgo adjoining-Girard College, in Philadelphia, was opened and dedi cated a short time since. Gov. Bigler was not present as was expected, but an address which be had prepared for tho occasion, was’ read by Mr. Clack and Mr, Hughes. We have it with pleasure, as we do Gov. Bigler’s public papers generally. In (he first place wo take it the Governor of a State who, with his official duties, finds time to devote to objects of benev olence, in which the public are interested, and improves occasions to address Ms constituents thereupon, deserves commendation 5 for these acts, opart and distinct from tho positive require ments of Ids office, prove that ho is not indiffer ent to anything which concerns the welfare ol tho State, and that he is willing to think and la bor.ln his day and generation for tho improve ment of tiio institutions to be transmitted to succeeding generations. Should it be said that tho affectation o i taking an interest in philanthropic projects is a ready means of acquiring popularity, it may bo replied nt once that tho people arc sufficiently intelli gent to detect affectation and cant in these mat tors, and if a candidate fo» their favor is seen to act from no higher motive than a dcsifo to win votes at an election, ho Is more likely to be de spised than trusted. These remarks arc no{ called forth by any imputations which his opponents have made upon the author of tho address in question, for wo have .seen none.— Their relevancy will ho found in reflecting how ollon men in public life arc called upon to per form gratuitous services 5 how-they are some times censured for refusing; and how often thoir best endeavors in this way arc requited by ill natured remarks from persons not capable of doing tho task half as well; oven if their indo lence did not provertt them from undertaking it. Tar Indian War, —Every Arrival from Texas and the Indian territory brings intelligence of the depredations of Indians upon American property and attacks upon parties in the legitimate pur suit of their business, and even upon small par ties of United Slates troops. The last accounts from'Western Texas represent Wild Cat ns at the head of five hundred Seminole and Caraan chc Indians, who recently attacked a small par ty of soldiers and traders, killed nearly tho en tire party of soldiers, twenty-five in number, and some thirty traders, among whom were six Ame ricans. Scvenl gther scattering squads won' also killed in the vicinity, ami one family. The Indians were heard to say dining the fight that they wool! kill everything and desolate the country to the Rio Grande. The Western Tex an, alluding to these depredations, says : “Wild Cal is nt the head of nil this, and we believe that the Mexican nation holds about the sime position with tlu-se Indians that England held with the American Indian tribes in the United States and C utada during the Revolu tion and the lute war. However, we will not go so far as to siy that Mexico odors these Indians a reward for each scalp, hut we know that they have great inducements held out to them, and as for Wild Cat, he is now reluming his compli ments to our Government tor the many favors they have granted him, and ho, no doubt, ex pects that we shall sooner or later purchase his friendship by giving him “bitr heap of money and, regarding liis treatment Imretofore, he has very plausible reasons to expect this.” The United States Government should lake (his marauder in h nl, and teach liim sikssmi which will he of service to him and his followers. Tub War in Ei.’luiim:. —lloiles no good tq Turkey. It has in its inanouvers all the sti lish arts, tricks ami delays of monarchical di plomacy.

England seemed much shocked, at.Uu‘6 frankness, but the whole game now playing is to sec who shall have the largest slice of Turkey. England kilows that her prestx/re. in India will .suffer seriously if Russia shall once reach down to the Medium nunn. The men ot money and stock rule the diplomacy of England, ami it is now said that the Rolhehilds are to haven small empire to themselves in Palestine. Turkey will intfrtr a debt to the allies for their present assist incc that she will mver be aide to pay other wise than with territory, or submitting to such a proleclomlensnowcnrscs and crushes Greece. Russia will most likely obtain the Dohrudscha, Molda\ ia and ‘Wallaehia, and the allies the pol itical control of the remainder. It is not intend ed that there shall be much lighting, but a little is needed to keep up appearances. • Monky Lost in tmk Maii.h. —The Washing son Star lias the follow ing interesting decision : —An applicant for a patent, nn his withdrawal of his application, iiiMnielcd llie('oimnissioner of Patents to fonvnrd In him by mail the sum of twenty dollars due him fnni the f loverniuent on said withdrawal. The money was sent agreeably to his instructions, and was lost hi course of transmission. On Ins application to be remunerated said sum, it was held that the Post-office Department is es*abli.«,hid for the con venience of lluj people, and is a medium for ; them to transmit and receive intelligence and all mailnhle matter ; but it is not an insurance ofllce. The postage charged is no more in the estimation of Congress than u fair compensation for the services actually rendered, and is not a reward for any risk nm in conveying mailable matter. If the Postmaster General, or the President and Fenatc, have appointed a d slimi est Postmaster, the I'nilcd States are not bound to remunerate l hi Wan individual sustained by his having violated the law, ami there is no lia bility imposed on the United S ales in this case, from the fact that they were the trustees of said applicant, and sent the money by mail ns he directed. T 7" Walker, the Filibuster. has surrendered lo the United Slates authorities, lo save him self from falling into the hands of tho Mexicans. Ho is to be tried for violating the laws of the country prohibiting lilting out armed expedi tions against other countries. Their is another offence which ought not to bo overlooked when the law conics to deal out justice to this indi vidual, and that is the deliberate murder of Uvo of his men, whom ho had shot, under a sentence of court martial, composed of other pirates like Walker. Should ho escape conviction under our laws, which is scarcely probable under the testimony, tho Mexican government will doubt less clcmand his surrender, to answer for the crimes he was guilty of in Sonora. 017" Thu Emperor of tho French has taken another step, and a very important one, in tho path of free trade, by entirely removing the re striction which existed upon tho importation, under the English flag, for consumption in Franco, of any merchandise the produce of Asia, Africa, or America ; and also upon the impor tation, under the English ling, of European products shipped elsewhere than in the ports of the United Kingdom or its possesskiHs in Eu rope.
