The boys fired off a few crackers, ns usual, and, our citizens, in great numbers, re paired. to Harrisburg, to participate in the great celebration there. The Sunday School Scholars of the First Presbyterian Church observed the day by a celebration at the Barracks. The number was large, and the dinner excellent.— Our atoms and shops nU closed their windows, in respect for the day, but kept open their doors in respect to their customers and their pockets. _ Can Public Schools.— The annual examina tion of the Common Schools of Carlisle, took place during the last week, and was creditable alike to teachers, scliblarsand the cflicientßoard of School Directors; After the several schools had got through their examinations, the exer cises were concluded on Friday evening, by an exhibition of the High Schools in Marion Hall, consisting of Declamations, Compositions, and other interesting exercises, accompanied by Vo cal and Instrumental Music. The evening pre vious Miss Underwood's and Mr. Ecklcs’ schools were exercised in Declamation and Geography, at the close of which Mr. Downing, of the High School, delivered a very interesting and in structive lecture on Education; We are happy to state that our Schools were never in a more tlourishing condition than at present, and this is mainly attributable to the commendable zeal manifested by the School Directors, who are ever careful to select compe tent teachers, and occupy much time in visiting and superintending the schools. 3?ATM#-and Distressing Accident. —Con bad FBiLKer. a worthy and respectable German laborer, iu the employ of the Cumberland Val ley Railroad Company, was killed on Tuesday afternoon last, by the locomotive of the passen ger train going west, about two miles from Car lisle. It appears that Mr. Keeker, incompony with his father-in-law. were at work repairing the road, and when the train was near them Mr. F. observed one of the tools lying on the track which might probably have done some harm, and in endeavoring to remove it he was struck By the locomotive on the left temple and thrown upon the Cow-catcher, and carried a distance of about one hunSrcd and fifty yards. lie was dreadfully cut andbruised and had many of his limbs broken. Mr. F. leaves a wife and two children to mourn the loss of one who was kind and affectionate and on whom they depended I for support. The Coronor, Mr. Jos. C. Thomp son, was called on to hold an inquest on the body, and the jury, after hearing the evidence, rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Melakcholt Accident. —We are pained to learn that on Saturday afternoorj lost, the Ist instant, two fine, promising boys, named Henry C, Steiner and Samuel Givler, each aged about 8 years, were drowned in tho mill-dam at New ville, in this county. It appears that the lads had went into the water to bathe, and having dived where tho water was deep, they both stuck fast in the mud, from which they were unable to extricate themselves. A smaller boy, who had been in company with them, instantly ran to tho mill and gave the alarm. Tho work men hastened to their assistance, but arrived too late to.save their lives. Tho ladies were token from the water, but the vital spmk had fleA They were tho sons of Daniel Steiner and Samuel Givler, both residents of Newville. and tho sudden and untimely end of these lads has east a gloom over that entire community. The Volunteer has recently been improved in appearance by new typo and somewhat enlarged. But as any one may And by laying the sheets to gether It Is still considerably less than the Her ald in dimensions. —Here 14. Thank you. neighbor, for requesting a com parison of the two papers. This is magnani tnoua, for any one making the comparison, wilh be compelled to admit that the Volunteer con tains nearly double the amount of reading mat ter that the Herald contains, as well as the latest news. Take the papers of last week, for in stance, and it will be seen that the Volunteer contained clomunsof closely printed reading matter, and the Herald 13 columns. We arc very willing, therefore, that any one should "Jay the sheets together” and compare them, for we will be sure to gain the victory over our neighbor. Summer Travel. The summu' heats have been fully inaugural- ( ed, ajid the testimony of the calendar has the | confirmation of ourffeclinga ns to the particular i season of the year. The thermometer now tra- ] vela regularly up to the nineties, with an ap- , parent ambition to get still higher. Wo may ( conclude, therefore, that the summer solstice is , upon us. and for the coming two months, with ( temporary alleviations, must endure all the an- , noyances of a high temperature; and while we | maintain our habits as the most industrious and pushing people In the world, suller under a , summer climate that is provocative of indolence ( and case. Business, however, sympathises with the lassitude of the season, and its ever beating pulse now throbs but slowly and unevenly, pxitamost frequented marls. But though business pauses in its activity, it would be felly to think that its votaries arc less earnestly employed. Having made business their pleasure for ten months in the year, they take the converse of their usual habits and make pleasure their business for the remaining two. It is not in the nature of the American to re main uno'ccupicd; and'ho pursues his holiday enjoyments with the keen activity Hint marks him in business as ti.o shrewd bargainer, Abo ■ astute rival, and tho successful tradesman. Iho excitement ho misses liy a relaxation from busi ness is sought ill the exaltation of new scenes and in tho pleasures of rapid motion. lie joins the migratory multitude of summer tourists and lilts nervously about; travels thousands of miles in search of enjoyment, and only becomes satm thfiSu todfc^VhiSXxSy'‘back igain to business. « CONSISTENCY,- TDOD ART A JEWEL.” TheFcderal.orWhig, or as at present known,- the Know-Nothing party, (a most appropriate name,) has,- of lato years, been consistent in nothing but inconsistency. The old Federal party, notwithstanding the obnoxious princi ples promulgated and advocated by it, was at least a respectable organization, and numbered many of the best men of the country. The miserable doctrines, however, advocated by the elder Adams and Alexander Hamilton, made it necessary for the Federalists to abandon their organization, and with it many of their leading principles. This being done, the old Federal ists assumed the nhrao of “ Whig,” and added- a few more articles to their political creed. They declared themselves in favor of high tarifis, a United States Bank, a distribution of the pro ceeds of the public lands among the Slates, a Bankrupt law, and other obnoxious measures, and these measures they advocated with zeal and determination, and maintained a kind of consistency for many years. But of late they j appear utterly lost to a\l shame, and what was I once the “great Whig party” is now a miser able faction, with no fixed principles, and with no visible head. We have not time and space, nor do we feel inclined to expose all the late In consistencies .of that party of fog-ends; but we may mention a few of the positions assumed by our opponents, and which they discarded im mediately on discovering that they could not make their professions accomplish their base political purposes. During the last Presidential campaign, Gen. Scott, in the hope of cajoling the people into his support, took the stump to deliver electioneer ing harangues, and in every speech he made— some hundred or more—he referred, in sicken ing flattery, to “our adopted fellow-citizens,” besmearing them all over with compliments.— He spoke of their bravery in battle, of their in- dustry and patriotism. The “rich brogue” of the Irishman, and “ the sweet accent” of the German, was music to his cars, for, said he, ‘T [Gen. Scott,) have been accustomed to hear that brogue and that accent in every battle in which j I have ever been engaged.” These speeches of | Gen. Scott, so laudatory of adopted citizens,! were published, and endorsed by every Whig paper in the country. They' fairly adored “our adopted fellow-citizens” at that time! During the same campaign, too, these same papers shed rivers of crockodile tears, because, as they told us, the Slate of New Hampshire (the homo of Gen. Pierce,) contained a clause in its Constitution declaring that a Roman Cath olic was not eligible to ofDcc. A prominent New York Whig travelled all the way to New Hampshire for the purpose of obtaining infor mation concerning this part of the organic law of that on his return he delivered a speech in Philadelphia, and attempted, by false hood' and misrepresentation, to make it appear that General Pierce had been favorable to this clause in the Constitution of the Granite State,, Hundreds of thousands of cop ies of that speech ! were scattered broadcast over our country. This county was literally flooded with them, and , every Catholic "Whig had his pockets crammed with Robinson’s speech. The Whigs were dis tressed beyond measure that Gen. PierceVown State should “sanction such an outrage.” Our neighbor of the Carlisle Herald almost went into spasmodic convulsions when he referred to the subject in his columns, and wc confess he. tantalized us not a little by constantly remind ing us that GcnrPicrcc lived in the State that, “denied religious toleration.*' BeyOnd’qucfition I the Whigs consumed' more ink and paper on this subject than any other that was mooted during-the entire campaign. Scott’s laudatory of “our adopted fellow-citizens,” and the restriction clause in the Constitution of New Hampshire, were their songs by day and their j dreams by night. They were dreadfully dis- i tressed, poor fellows ! One of the principal Whig orators in the j campaign of which wc have been speaking, was ' Judge CoMiAn, the present Nalive-Nnow-Noth mg-Whig Mayor of Philadelphia, and ho, too, spoke eloquently against tlie “outrage” contain ed in the Constitution of New Hampshire, and' used his best efforts to prove that Gen. Pierce sanctioned the objectionable clause. Jlc was then also a great admirer of “foreigners,” and complimented them on becoming citizens of “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” where they could exercise the civil and religious rights common to every American freeman. — For the sentiments of this same Judge Conrad in 1841, wc refer the reader to an article in another column. In his address before the “ Philadelphia Repeal Association.” he spoke the sentiments of a wan. He then declared that “ ALL PEOPLE, OF WHATEVER CLIME OH class, were oru BRETHREN, and boldly an nounced that those whose sympathy did not stretch beyond the paltry limits of his sect, his parly, or his clime, were neither good Chris tiaiys nor good men —but mindless, heartless, TJIhonLKSM LI MPS of ACCIDENTAL and MISNAM- Fa* humanity !” These were nis own wonna, a[s will be seen by an extract from biff speech on that occasion, which will be found in another column of the Volunteer of to-day, accurately quoted. And yet this is the man, who, a few weeks since standing within gun-shot of the magnificent bequest of Stephen Girard, (who was a foreigner.) declared m his inaugural ad dress that the interests of Philadelphia demand that he shall appoint no naturalized or ad opted citizen to any place of trust !—thus URANDINO HIMSELF, and those who “sympa thize" with him, ns MINDLESS, HEART LESS, THUOBLESS LUMPS OF ACCIDEN TAL HUMANITY, destitute of Christian prin ciple, and not worthy of being recognized as good men. Is it not humiliating to sec a man thus degrade himself in tho eyes of t|io people? By his own words he stamps himself a heartless knave, unworthy of being recognized by “good mem” And the Whig papers of this Stale, those im maculate journals that, in 1852, talked so flip pantly concerning “ our respectable and worthy adopted citizens, 1 ’ and dealt out their anathn mas against Gen. Pierce and the Democratic party because of the restriction clause in the New Hampshire Constitution, where do wo And these editors now? Kvery mother’s son of them defending the narrow, soulless and bigoted views of a faction of Know-Nothings ! Those Whig editors, who but two short years since disgus ted decency by their sycophancy towards our adopted citizens, now deny those citizens the rights guaranteed to them by the charter of our privileges. They declare that no foreigner, no difference what his merits, is worthy to hold office In tho United States; nay ‘ clnro that no ono holding to the Catholic rch- gipn. shall be eligible to office!. The Whigs were Wont to talk of proscription for opinion’s sake. What kind of proscription are they now waging?- A* proscription of religion—a pro scription because of a man’s birth-place. “Per secution fof conscience sake is of hell,” says a contemporary,.and this is the persecution, this theprbssjiption our Fcdoral-Whig-Know-Noth ing adversaries now eulogise and defend. Yer ily, men who engage in such a crusade “ are not,” in the language of Judge Conrad, “wor thy of being recognized as good men.” “ lie who sows the storm shall reap the whirlwind.” THE DEMOCRATIC AND FEDERAL PARTIES. At the present time, when the old Federal party is rent asunder and divided into innumer able petty factions, it is a source of pride and gratification to the Democrat to know that his party occupies the same position and contends for precisely the same principles which it did in the days of its illustrious founder, Thomas Jefferson. Then, as now* U.wUs known by the name of the Democratic Party, and in its ranks, at every period of its history, wero to be found all those who were anxious ,to promote the and interests of all classes, in every section ofouf wide-spread country;- In its doc trines, and in the course of policy which it pur sued, the Democratic party sought no selfish ends, nor did it confine the sacred object of its mission to the aggrandisement of any one sec tion of the Union. It sought only "the great est good of the greatest number,” and it Ims always been the object of the champions of the democratic principle so to legislate as to extend to all the right of suffrage; to oppose all laws having for their object the creation of monopo lies, and to guard with jealous care tho Consti tution as it came from the hands of its framers. Our party has extended to the exile from every dime the right hand of fellowship, and those who have fled from tyranny and oppression in tho old world, have found in happy America a safe asylum, and under the beneign influence of our free institutions, have become prosperous and contented citizens. The old federal party, on the contrary, was, from the foundation of the government opposed, to the idea of popular sovereignty. It strove hard to confine all power in the hands of the few, by excluding the many from any v partici pation in the affairs of government. It has opposed the enactment of every law having for its object the extension of the territorial limits of the Union. It was bittcrly hostile to the purchase by Mr. Jf.FFEUSON of Louisiana, a measure which added so much to the extent and power of the United States; and it was ns ; bitterly hostile to the annexation of Texas. It opposed the war with Mexico, a war which was forced upon us by the acts of Mexico, and tho successful termination of which addid to the territory of the Union the two fine countries of California and New Mexico. During the late war with Great Britain, the leaders of the old federal party, more especially those of New ] England, instead of advocating the cause, and t fighting for the rights and honor of the country which gave them birth, secretly encouraged the foreign foe, giving him “aid and comfort,” and ‘openly rejoiced at the success of the British arms. So inimical were they to the cause of their own countr}*, that their clergy went ho far as to declare that it was “Unbecoming in a moral and religious people to rejoice at the suc ccsff of our aims !*’ Indeed, the leaders of the federal party, although claiming to be the ex clusive friends of America, have always sym pathized with British interests and wfth the British people. They Have never heartily loved or admired our free institutions, and they have never ceased to contemn and persecute our adopted citizens, for the simple reoson that they i almost to a man join the party of the country i and fight under the flag of Democracy. Bui ' enough. As in times past so. is it now ; and the federal party, no matter what name it may 1 asm me, whether National Republican. Whig. Native American or Know-Nothing, is the same intolerant and proscriptive party, characterized for its intense hostility to everything Democra tic, and loving only that which, is illiberal, ar ristocratio, and anti-American. Death ov Jons May.—' The celebrated down John May, who can never be forgotten by the patrons of the National Theatre, under the man agement of General Welsh, died at the Block ley Almshouse, within a day or two, of disease of the brain. Mr. May has not performed for a considerable period, owing to his mind being impaired. “He was a fellow of infinite jests,” in the h«y day of his professional career, and it is to be regretted that in his hour of distress he ] was so far forgotten as to be allowed to die a i pauper. Dead. —The Shepherd of the VaUcy, the Cath olic newspaper in St. Louis, which created so much bad feeling in the community by its rank intolerance, is dead. According to its I teachings, rcligiouslibcrty waathcproliflcßOurco 'of evil, and the Bible was little better. The publisher, in his valedictory, says his paper did ’lit pay. He was losing money, and hence was compelled to suspend its publication. In this country it was scarcely to be expected that such opinions would pay, and it Is, therefore, not surprising that iheShepherdgot nosupport, even from those professing its own religious faith. Mistaking the Magnolia foe. Casbaqes. Lost week o port}' of German emigrants went ashore from a boat on the Mississippi river, and gathered large quantities of the leaves and (low ers from tho magnolia trees, which they took on hoard, hoiled and ate, from the effects of which one man died, and four others came near dying. They had-mistaken the leaves of the magnolia lor cabbages, supposing that in this fertile country cabbage grew wild, and from sixty to seventy feet high, ns does the magnolia on tho const. Tim leaves of tho magnolia re semblo those of the cabbage, but arc poisonous. Cleaning Wall Vafeb.— As many of our Indy readers may desire, at this season of house cleaning, to renovate tho paper on the walls of rooms, we copy from a late number of the Ohio Cultivator n method 1 prescribed for so doing. Take about two quarts of wheat bran, enclose it in a bag made of thin, open flannel, or strain er cloth, and with this rub tho paper, Blinking up the bran occasionally, so as to keep the sur face fresh. With this apparatus, smoko can ho easily removal from wall paper. Grease spots can be partially removed by rubbing them with chalk, and then laying over them several thick nesses of brown paper, and pressing on a hot llat-iron. THE COHINB ELECTION. la view of the approaching election, our De mocratic contemporaries, in every section of tho State, are urging upon their readers tho impor tance of a thorough organization —of union and harmony among tho members of the party, and of a united effort on tho part of every Democrat to thwart tho machinations of our federal ene mies. This is the-proper *OOlll6O, and cannot be too highly commended. The federal leaders, hopeless of success under their own cognomen, have assumed various abases, hoping thereby to keep in tbe background their odious principles, and ride into power, as they have once dr twice before done,'’under a*" new name. Tbe.Gcltys burg noVicing tho near approach of the electionjVeiy truly remarks: —“"We can-, not too, earnestly urgerupon our Democratic brethren the hnportaiiCo of the coming election. The federalists are actively engaged in organiz ing lhcir forces for the fight: and-it is reasonable to. expect that tho most I desperate and reckless means will be resorted to, for thc pnrpbse of carrying their pernicious doctrines. Already, remarks a, cofccmporary, arc they engaged iu of every description, by which they hope to poison the minds and confound the understanding of the people. .. Deception, .falsehood, pipe-laying, fraud, bribery and corruption, will again be re sorted tffliy our federal opponents. How im portant, therefore, is it that the democratic party should be prepared to meet and effectually repel tho many federal-glanders put in circula tion by*the adherents of James Pollock. The cause of democracy is the true and only legitimate cause of thapcople —by its perpetu ity only, can the pcopUfof this country expect prosperity and happiness. It is the same glo rious cause for which our forefathers fought, bled and conquered. It is the cause which, know's, no baseness, cowers to no danger, op-| presses no weakness —destructive only of des potism, it is the sole conservator of liberty, la • bor and property. Arouse, then, Democrats, arouse!” Vermont —Tliq Democratic Convention of Vermont met at Monpclier on the 21st. Merrit Clark, of Poultney, was nominated for Gover nor, and 'William Mattocks, of Bcacham, for Lieutenant Governor. Resolutions were passed complimenting ■the administration of Franklin Pierce inetrongterros, but dcclaringibe support of or opposition to the Nebraska bill, should npt bo test of party faith. The following resolution is sup posed to refer to the Know-Nothings: Resolved , That tho Democracy of Vermont, bel taring that our free constitution sanctions no proscription on account'of birth, openly and em phatically condemn any organization, secret or otherwise, that would aim to deprive any citi zen, native or adopted, of his civil political or religions liberty. The Convention was quUo fully attended. Some of the opponents of the Democratic party, sa} r s the Pennsylvanian, were never more bitter and malignant than at this moment.— The approach of the great Presidential contest in 1856, has piled fuel under the cauldron that now begins to boil and bubble. Everything is made to bend to that one object. No measure is judged by its real merits.. Distortion, per version, mendacity, is the rage. ' The Preside ncy is certainly a great game to play for— under .these circumstances, it m*gbt~co«the country too' much, in fluences of the organization. In that lies tho safety of iH&OTuntry, as the rock of her salvation.. 1 Tray» Sgyethcart and Blanch, may bark and howl.’ - alias Gree ley, may plot to blow uf*llio Capitol. Mr- Sumner, ns Benedict Arnold, may conspire to break up tho Union—but It is all in vain while wchavc the Democracy to rest on, whose abiding virtues arc proof against all lime and changes. Wchavesccn the storm rage with far more desolating violence, and with one wave of the people’s wand, made all calm as a summer’s morning. There is no danger to freedom in the ravings of its enemies. Let them sweat out their fever, till ambition finds its level on the stool of penitence and disappointment, where Urn affiliated elements of the opposition are predestined to very cool meditation among the tombs of their hopes. ___ Whig and -Abolition Morality.— The coali tionists in the New Hampshire Legislature are struggling with desperation to attain their ends, and would seem to lid practising new arts in legislation. UVe learn from Concord that on Tuesday a committee of five was appointed in the House of Delegates, td inquire into certain charges made against the coalitionists, in at tempting to bribe members, and of drugging their liquor : and a bill having special reference to the punishment of bribery and corruption was introduced. Connecticut Abolitionism. —The Whig- Abolition coalition in Connecticut is running into all thccrazy extremes political frenzy usual ly generates. They have adopted the most stringent measures to defeat the fullllmcnt of the provisions of the United States constitution, and arc attempting to alone for their long in justice to their colored friends by endeavoring to secure to them the right to vote, and have authorized the Speaker of their Legislature to invite colored'ministers to ofllcialo with white clergymen in opening tho sessions with prayer. Coming State Elections —Elections arc to bo held in twenty-five of tho States within a period of about three months. A majority of the members of tho next House of Representa tives arc to bo chosen, and in Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, lowa, and California, Legis latures'arc to be elected which will choose one Senator each, except that of North Carolina, which will elect two. The New EniiLanb Cleuot.—The commit tee appointed by the meeting of clergymen in Boston during nnnivcrsary'wcck, to confer with clergymen of nil denominations in regard to the expediency of calling a convention of the New England'clcrgy to consult ns to their duty in tho present crisis of freedom in our country, have decided that it is inexpedient to hold such a convention.

A late number of the Pennsylvania Patriot, printed at Harrisburg, in this State, uses the following strong, but by no means unwarrant-’ cd language, in speaking of. tho. qualifications ' and characters of many of- those. persons who, ! within the ,last few years,' have' teen honored 1 with scats in the Legislature of Pennsylvania. | Wo trust that the. Democratic party, at least, , will weigh well the'seniimcnts contained in this [ little article, and endeavor to profit byit. '.Says 1 tho Patriot :—“ In a number of the counties in this State candidates are announced for.the Le gislature. As some of these counties will soon hold.their nominating Conventions, wo deem it our'duty to express our views in reference to the kind of men that should be, elected. Itisa lamentable fact that too many have .been sent here who were totally unfit to disqtiafge the duties which dcvolvcdiipon them. Instead of being qualified to make laws, some of them-had not the’capacity to construe, in telligibly, a law made, by others. The Demo cratic, as weU as Whig party, has been dis graced by such weak representatives. We must also make another confession, humiliating as it, is,.that bur legislatures, for a few years back, hp.ve hecn cursed-with a class of men who cared nothing for tho interests of their constituents or (heir sole object seeming to be the readiest way. qf lining their pockets with gold, even though the accomplishmcnt of their wish was at the expense'of their integrity and utter disregard of their solemn oaths. Knowing, as we do, these facts,- will any our duty to speak plainly of them I - The masses of the people are honest, and they have only to know that they have been deceived and disgrac ed by those in whom they have-confided, to prevent them from honoring such men again. jThero are : men of intelligence and unbending 'integrity-in every county 19. the.{“state, and we do hope that the Citizonshf each will maketheir nominations from that class.' Thfcy owe tins much to the CommonVealth—they owe it to themselves. -We arc really at a loss to know why some persons seek so pcrscvcringly, a scat in tho Legislature. If they are honest, it is not profitable; if they lack ability, it is not honor able. The position does afford opportunity for gentlemen of talents and integrity to make their mark, bpt those, possessing peithcr, are daily-exposing their want of Ihe'fortncr, and always despised for their want of the latter.” Annexation of 'an Italian Pjunctpalitt to the United States.— A letter from Paris to the New York Tribune, dated June 10th, in forms us that the Principality of Monaco, 6n tho shores of'the Mediterranean, between Nice and Genoa, with a population of- 5600 souls, and two small seaports, is a candidate for ad mission into the Union of American States.— It contains three cities, which cover nearly nil its area. -Two of them declared themselves in dependent in. 1848, while tho other remained faithful to Sardinia, which government has late ly taken stops to annex them to its territory,— To this not only the people, but tho Prince of Monaco, who has an interest in them, object, andnow offer to sell them to tho United States. It is said our Secretory of Legation atParishas undertaken to investigate the matter. The sea ports arc said to ones, and would prove ’ vftTtfable tO"US, r wJiile the territory is described ns rich in mines’df silver, iron, mercury, &c. PnOGBBSS OF THE CIIOLEIIA. —The cholera has appeared at St. Paul, Minnesota, and seve ral deaths have taken place. Al Nashville, Tenn., on Bis 21st instant, there were seven deaths, ana four more on the 22d. The town of Fayetteville, Tenn., is nearly deserted, on account of the appearance of the epidemic. The ; Nashville tfntoirftys that three-fourths of the cholera deaths there have taken 'place among persons who use spring water, while those who coniine themselves to hydrant water, and are otherwise prudent, have nearly all 1 escaped.— This, it says, is not mere theory,- but a well demonstrated fact. Threatened Duel. —It is asserted that a chal lenge passed from Lieut. Faunllcroy, U. S. N., to Lieut. J. G. Sliiin. also of the Navy, while the parties were ntPanama, several weeks ago, Lieut. Strain, it will be remembered, was in command of the party which Recently crossed the Isthmus of Darien in search of a ship canal route- Pauntlcroy was also of the party, and, in the course of an altercation, was accused by Strain of cowardice. Hence the challenge, which was accepted by Strain on condition that the meeting should not take place until after the return of the party to the United States. The Knud Iverson Monument. —The com mittee in Chicago, to whom was committed the duty ofinvestigating the circumstances relating to this affair, have decided not to build a monu ment to the drowned boy. as the evidence did not establish that he was drowned for refusing to steal. The Committee is composed of sensi ble men. It is getting entirely too fashionable now-a-days to fabricate martyrs for the fun of building monuments to their memories. An American Vessel Boarded rt a Bri tish Wau Vf.ssel! —Captain Allen, of Ihe packet ship Minnessota, arrived at New York on Saturday morning, from Liverpool, reports thef jllowingJ—May 25th,lat. 3500,10 n. 1000, was boarded by her B. M. steamship Gladilalor. which demanded the ship’s papers for examina tion. Captain Allen asked the officer by ‘what authority’ ho boarded his ship and demanded his papers. The officer refused to give any satisfactory answer. The Ward Trial. — A Mr. Crutcher, onoof the jurymen on tilt IV“rd trial, has pubiisheda card touching tho case. Sir. O. was the last juryman who consented to tho verdict; nnd Ids consent lie now says was obtained by deception on the part of his fellow jurors. From tho com mencement. two-thirds of the jury appear to have been zealous partisans of Ward. Only one of them united with Mr. Crutcher, at first, in voting for a verdict of manslaughter: and ho was'tho very one by whoso persuasions nnd rais rcprcscnlotions Crutcher's nssent.to tho verdict wns at last obtained H7"Miss Delia Webster, who was convicted some years ago of stealing and abducting slaves from Kentucky, hut was paretoned by Gover nor Crittenden, Ims recently hod some of tho old indictments revived ngninst her. A warrant wns issued for the apprehension of Miss Web ster, which was served, hut tho lady being very sick, could not bo removed. A guard of three men was appointed to remain, tend, and watch her, but she managed to escape, nnd Is now out of tho State, which is probably all that was de sired in lh6 recent proceeding sgalnst her.
