Fob Canal Commissioner, Nimrod strickland, Of CAej<«r County- O* We had some refreshing rains on Mon* day and T.uesday last. The grain, grass, and indeed crops of every description present a lux* uriank'appearancc. If nothing should happen to blight them, there will be an abundant yield of tbe cereals, as well ns of tho corn, p'otato andfrOit crops. - Street Repaired.—Our efficient Street Com missioner, Mr. W. B. Matthews, has recently piked and repaired that portion of Pomfrtt street between Hanover and Pitt steels* Tina-'im provement was much needed, and will render FomfVct one of the handsomest streets in tho borough. The manner in which tho job has been executed reflects the highest credit upon the .workmanship of Mr. M., as well os of the men in his employ. , By the way, as this street is now thoroughly repaired, and at considerable expense to the tax payers of the borough, we trust tho members of ouT Town Council will have sufficient nerve to prevent its being disturbed or ruined.' If the Cfa? and Water Company persists in running its pipes through the streets, it should bo compelled to leave them in at least as good condition as H found them. Cflimcii Repainted.-- 'The Second Presbyte rian church has just been thoroughly cleansed and repainted, and it now looks as fresh and smells as sweet as can be. The ceiling of the building is now of a beautiful pink color : the walls dove colored, and the pulpit, pews, Ac., arc painted a pure while. The church, inter nally, now presents a very chaste and neat ap* pearancc. Much credit is due to Mr. Thomas J. Bell, tbs contractor, for the very handsome manner in which he has performed the work, as well as for the artistic skill he displayed in its execution. Town Lots. —Mr. Andrew 0. Blair, having purchased the valuable foUr-and-a-half acre lot, situate ia the lower end of South street, recently belonging to Joseph Shrom, Esq., wo learn it is his intention to lay it ofi into building lots, which he will ofler for sale. Carlisle is steadily increasing in population as well as in prosperity, and os there is a lack of good building lots, at moderate prices, we have no doubt the ones now offered for sale will readily be disposed of. An Inhuman Act —Base Desertion. —We learn from the Sbippcnsburg News, that soon after the departure of the evening train east ward from that place, on Wednesday evening of lost week, a male child, probably five or six months old, was found on the outskirts of the town on the public road leading from Shippcns burg to Southampton Furnace. Its cries at tracted the family of Mr. James Hannon, who resided near where it lay, when they kindly took It in charge. Measures were Immediately taken to find out wtfo had so inhumanly de serted it, &c. Suspicions were founded on an unknown female who had been seen lurking iu j that quarter during the latter part of the after -0000, and who was noticed taking passage iu the cars. Constable McCartney, of Carlisle, wa& immediately telegraphed to*, who arrested the-woraan on the arrival of the cars here. She named herself Mary Arnold, and stated that she 1 was induced to forsake the child on account of 1 haring nothing to support it—that she wished ' to “go and sec a brother who resides in Lan- 1 castor city, and did not wish him to know that she had a child /” She was placed in the cus tody of iho Shrrifl during the night to await a farther hearing. The News further says that the child has been taken into the family of Mr. Geo. Shade, of Sbippcnsburg, and-the mother released. Editorial Lidbl Suit;— Mr. J. I’. Sanderson, publisher of the Philadelphia Daily Newt, has instituted a suit against Col. Joshua S. Fletchoi, of the Daily Sun , for libel. The alleged oflence consists In the publication from a country paper, of an article reflecting upon the character of the gentleman who controls tbo columns of the News. Mr. Flotchcr was hold in $lOOO ball to answer the charge. ASID Warnihg — A daughter of John Edlo man, nonr MUlUnburg, Union county, while in. dulglng In the too common practice of taking pins In tho mouth, accidentally got them Into tho windpipe. A physician was called, but too great fears are entertained of tho result, to mf fer an operation to bo performed. Much in flammation has been caused by tho pins In the Ideality whore (hoy are lodged. A distressing, lingering death Is apparently inevitable. ttv’" Wo see by Ihc Now York papers that tho Common Council have at last waked up to tho necessity of offering a reward for tho discovery of tho murderer of Dr. Bnrdell. Aflor waiting moro than throe months to give tho perpetrator of tho foul dood abundant tlrao to escape, and to remove all vestiges of everything that could load to his detection, tho Board of Aldermen, havo passed a resolution that a reward of two thousand dollars should bo offered for tho ar rest of tho murderer. The Board of Councilmen will, of- course, concur, and if tho Governor ahould offer a similar or larger reward, ft might load to a solution of tbo mystery iu which (ho Ourdoll tragedy Is still involved. Cs*Tho steamship Louisiana was burnt iu Galveston Bay on Sunday rooming. Eleven persons wore certainly lost In her, and Colonel Balnbridgo, of tlio army, and tblrty-ono others aro missing.

Wed nesday nominated Isaac llaslehurst, of Phi In. dolphin, for Governor j Jacob Broom, of Phila delphia, and Jasper E. Brndy, of Allegheny, for tlio Supremo Bondi, and John 11. Llndor man, of Barks, for Canal Commissioner. Va rious measures of policy, expediency, &c., wore advocated, and a considerable number of tho delegates wore opposed to making any nomina tions at ail.

In our last wo gavo a brief account of the bloody-riotthat took place at Washington on the., Monday previous. Wo to-day give more fulV'-pfrrliculars, and oak the attention of our readers to them. All will seo that this riot,' like those of Baltimore, Louisville and New Or leans, was brought about by tho “Plug Uglics’ 1 of a damnable Know-Nothing organisation. It baa keen ascertained to a certainly, that on the evening before tho day of the municipal election in Washington, the Know-Nothings of Balti more assembled in their lodges, in obedience to red signals posted in all quarters of tho city.— They then, at a late hour of the night, selected some fifty of their most desperate members, armed them to the teeth with knives and revol vers, and instructed them to repair to Washing top tho following morning, take possession of tho polls, and; at all hazards, defeat the Demo cratic ticket. These desperate men—these law less blackguards, rioters and scoundrels—hav ing been appointed to perform a certain purpose, proceeded to their work as soon as they reached Washington, by making a terrible attack upon peaceable voters with pistols, bowie-knives and stones. Tho attack, so unexpected and uncal led for, took the voters by surprise, and tho 1 consternation that followed may be imagined. Tho Police of tho city were driven from tho 1 ground, and compelled to fly for their lives.— J Fortunately, tho Mayor of Washington is a Democrat, and, assisted by tho United States Marines, dispersed tho scoundrels, captured their cannon, and sent a number of them homo feeling a little sore from the effects of their ex -1 ploiis. They haro received a lesson that will teach them that they cannot visit tho National Capitol to practice their favorite amusements. In Baltimore, where tho Mayor and Police arc Know-Nothings, they can put law and order at defiance, take possession of tho polls, and mur der peaceable voters at pleasure, but they must not attempt to gratify their passions in this way where Democrats arc in authority, for if they do they will be shot down like dogs, os the}* deserve. Much as we regret the consequences of this riot—for a number of innocent persons were killed by the Marines—yet 100 much credit cannot be awarded the President, the Mayor of Washington, and the officers commanding the military, for the prompt manner in which they discharged their duties. They deserve and will receive the thanks of tho people of the whole country. We said, In our paper three years ago, that this Know Nothing party, if permit* ted to go on, would have to be put down by the strong arm of power. We felt convinced, judg ing from the oaths of the order and tho thou sands of worthless vagabonds belonging to it, that it would write its history in blood. In the cities, particularly, the party embraces tho entire rabble—the very scruff and scum of so ciety—vagabonds, thieves and robbers—men who are ripe for arson or murder at a moment's warning. In all the largo cities where they hold power—in New Orleans, Louisville and Baltimore—they have obtained it by fraud, violence and murder—by putting law, justice and order at defiance. If the people of those cities desire to bo governed by such men and made the slaves of a rabble, it is theirown busi ness, but God forbid that our National Capitol should ever occupy a position so humiliating. All honor, then to President BuoiiAKipr, the Mayor of Washington, and the United States Marines, for saving the scat of government from I the blot that was attempted to be affixed to her. land Sgeco/fll/00, (From all quarters of iho West we have re ports of the continued speculations in Lpnds A letter in tho last Dubuque Herald, written from tho Osage land office. lowa, says that there are about two thousand persons in at tendance on the land sales, and that great competition exists between speculators and the settlers. This competition had been carried In bidding 8101 per acre for the wild land. The settlers had held a meeting, and organized themselves into a club numbering seven hun dred. and had determined that every settler should have the privilege of bidding of! a quar ter section of land, in addition to one quarter by pre-emption, at government price. Attempts were made to settle all difficulties on this basis by the settlers furnishing names of persons who were bidders ; but this had nut been done up to the time the informant left. With such ac counts as these, we would hardly think those capitalists who have been furnishing largo a* mounts of money to keep this wild speculation alive, seduced it by the tempting offer of largo rates of interest, would care to continue the supply longer. That these speculations arc destined to come to an end soon, we think no rational, thinking man can doubt: and when the end docs come, look out for such a crash in credit, and such a tumble in the price of land - all lands, not only those in (he West, but those hero at the East—as has seldom before been , experienced. Tue Dravjs “ Americans.” —ln evidence of the dogroo of humility and decency possessed by Iho thirty “Plug-Uglies,” who so precipi tately decamped bylho 3 o’clock train fiom Washington on Monday afternoon, ft may bo stated that on their passage in the curs tu Balti more (hoy expended the contents of their ro- 1 volvcrs, originally Intended for the persona of I (ho citizens of Washington, upon the bodies of (ho cows and horses that were grazing in the fields along the road. There must have been several hundred shots tired. When the train arrived at the fork of the road on (ho ruhurba of Baltimore, (ho thirty “Plug-Uglies” got out, undoubtedly for (bo purpose of avoiding (ho risk of an arrest at the depot. The other passengers must have felt themselves especially fortunate and agreeable in such company. The testimony on which wo make this statement, says the National Jnltlligencer, is unimpeacha ble. Life im luxas.— The San Antonio Ffcrnld records a most brutal murder near that city on I the 16th. of one Or. Thompson, from Bandera, near (Juadulupc. It seems the unfortunate victim and two trlonda. Clark and Polandcr, returning home, from San Antonio, had en camped for tho night miles from the city. Hewasfoundthc next TOrning atlhccompmur dered and his two friends badly wounded hav ing no doubt been left for dead by tho robbing ond murderous assassins. Cliirk has since died. A reward of $250 has been oflered' by Mr. James, of San Antonio, for the apprehen sion of the murderers., Tlio Herald also records the discovery of a Mexican, about a mile below 1 San Antonio, with his throat cut. Ho was found in a field covered up wltU brush. THE FftllTS OF KNOW-NOTIUNOIftU IN NEW ORLEANS. Tho following sketch from life of Kno w-Noth ingistn in New Orleans, appalling ns it is, Is but tho counterpart of tho picture presented wherever the pestilent faction has unfortunately gotten into power. It is tl)0 natural nirflnovi table fruit of sdeh QfiOrgalhirrttion, as thousands predicted, and as every man of reflection must have foreseen. It is indeed marvelous that men who dcsiro to hold a respectable position in so ciety should permit themselves (o be brought in contact with such foul and shameless cor ruptions this. The Garland spoken of below, was the Know Nothing Treasurer of New Orleans, and pro prietor of the Crescent newspaper, the organ of the party. While noting ns treasurer, ho se cretly absconded with a princely outfit in mo ney abstracted from the city' t reuse iy. He took passage bound, wo believe, for. some* foreign port; wag pursued and arrested at the mouth of the Mississippi, with the money in his pos- j session. Ho was pul through the forms of a criminal trial and acquitted. Let none say that these facts are not substantially true. — | They are as notorious to'every body in New Or leans as the sun-light at noon-day, j New Orleaks.--This doomed city of slung* I shots and brass knuckles is a vast caldron of I pollution, bubbling and boiling over with vice and crime of every grade aud color. Ever since I it has been undcijjiaow-Nothing rule, murders have been perpctratcd/lmd corruption is now regarded by these official pirates as commenda ble and praiseworthy. Wo shall not attempt to give an account of the mock trial and unjust acquittal of the notorious City Treasurer, Gar land, and the subsequent base and criminal acts of the worse than criminal council, who have become the laughing-stock of the country .while I their deeds of glaring injustice, and even viola-1 lion of law and wholesome public sentiment, have caused them to stink m the nostrils of every honest man that knows anything of their I proceedings. We arc sorry to say that the pros-1 poets of a change for the belter in the ruined metropolis of New Orleans are by no means flat tering. Repeatedly, we have told our readers that it was utterly impossible to check the ca reer of crime, so long and so fatally persisted in by the official vagabonds of the Know Nothing parly. When we gave on account of the 'stab bing in the back,’ with an intent to kill, by that precious pair of assassins, Logan and Phillips, we also staled that they would never be con victed. We stated that neither of those two ruffians. Harrison or Adams, would be found guilty of any of the numerous deeds of assassin ation that the whole outraged community know them to be guilty of. We stated that no mem ber of " the party” could be convicted in the city of any crime, lb mattered not how enormous the guilt and public the facts, for no man can be found in New Orleans, with a sufficient a monnl of moral courage to go into open court and give evidence against one of this blood stained band df terrorists. No ; for if they should, their fate is forever sealed. No man that would go into the Criminal Court and tell facts against one of the gang, would live twenty four hours, if he should bo so lucky as to get out of the court house alive. Some less than a dozen true bills have been found against the no torious Adams, the head and front and petted assassin of the gang. But what is the result of all those official proceedings of the grand ju ry ? Just nothing at all; yes, worse by far than nothing,for while the grand jury are spend ing their time in examining witnesses, and fcrrctling out the criminal acts of these official ruffians, the City Council go to work, with a very natural instinct, and promote every ruffian to a lucrative office that they can make room for. The truth is, it. will not do for ony mem ber of this blood-cemented parly to be convict ed- Even Perry Lyons, the notorious peniten- 1 tiary bird, cannot be convicted, simply because the man that would swear against him would not live twenty-four hours. Jim Wingfield, the witness against Logan and Phillips, can't \ be found. Well, there is no more Justice to bo expected in ony of the courts, while (his band of villains hold sway, than there would bo with f the wily “Billy Bow Legs,” of the swamps of 1 Florida, to rule. The fact is, we am astonished at nothing in New Orleans, after the acquittal of Garland, and the election of Adams .to the Ilccordership of the Fourth District. Wo arc quite prepared for anything, and will probably see mom of these daring cut-throats m power before wo see less. Leuirlativk Loddtibo abd Doiubo.— They have a trial In progress in Boston, in which the secrets of lobbying nnd boring In the Legisla ture arc being revealed to the uninitiated. One witness, called a» an expert, on account of bis groat experience in the halls of legislation, as a member of the third house, testified that lobby ing consisted in preparing eases, attending to hearings bolero committees and making argu ments—boring, in taking the facts in the case and pumping them Into the members. In tho first class, ho was familiar with tho charges for services, but of tho other, (ho kind of labor which ho said tho plaintiff performed, and which was of a lower grade, lie did not know the prices current. These are tho influences which are supposed to exist around over)- legis lative body, from Congress down, ami account sufficiently for tho fact that private Jobs find so much more favor than pnbflo business, In which only tho people arc Interested. Landlord h Duties. —Ueforcannouncing the licenses granted by the Court on Wednesday morning, says the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, udge Pearson proceeded to make some prepa ratory remarks, explaining the duties of land lords. lie slated that they were bound to ac-1 commodate nil persons who asked for it. so long as they had room ; that it madono difference if the applicant was a person of mistrustful ap pearance-taverns were regarded by the law as places for the accommodation of travellers, and their proprietors had no right to turn any away, no matter whether they thought them able to pay for their lodgings or not. His Honor said that this was clearly the object of the law, and no license would hereafter be granted where it was known that this part of the landlord’s duty had not been complied with. These remarks j created no little excitement among the tavern | keepers present, many of whom expressed them- I selves in objectioflablo terms against the view taken by tho Judjjc. If this bo the true intent' of the law—and it doubtless is—there has been a wide diversion of it heretofore. ITT* The dark clouds which have so long hung over tho Newburg murder appear to bo lifting, and some rays of light aro thrown upon tho case. Tho body of the woman has been Identi fied by a French negro as his wife, and some Important testimony, which is for the present kept strictly private, h2s been secured by the Coroner towards finding out tho murderers, if murderers they are. A Olaiu.— I Tho whole town of Lawrence, In Kansas territory, is claimed by Robert Rohl tallc, an Indian and land-holders have been no tified by tho receiver ond- register of the Land 1 Office at Lccompton, that they would oiler proof in support of his claim. Ho claims tlio location by a reservation granted him in tho treaties of 1842 and 1856, by and between the U. Stales and tho Wyandot tribe of Indians. The True Republican Platform*. • Tho following seftthnents wefo uttered by a Republican Abolition Convention which recent ly hold a session'itiNew York. We copy from, tho Washington Union: - It was.amidsti«ib applause and encourage ment of men ahii -Women, calling themselves philanthropists,'that l£e reverned and irrevern ed orators of the ftnif-slavcry cause spoke thus In New York: The Rev. of Massachusetts, (white,) declare#*- “All tho leading in the world is not worth so much astho" poorest 4 pistol shot which any slave ever gave his master.” Robert Purvis (black)— “Looked forward with joy to the time when revolution shall overthrow this atrocious gov ernment.' 1 ■ Rev, .Andrew F. Foss, of New Hampshire, (white)— 7 . “The slaves needed no arms from tho North. They only needed td boletalone, and they them selves would twist off their master’s necks. It was what ho would do. Ho would twist oO any man's nhok who will hold him os a slave. — Ho drew a flaming picture of the day when there would bo a servile insurrection through out the land. 1 !* Wm. Wells Brown (black) said— “Ho would rather see the jlnve emancipated by insurrection' than any oilier way. His pray er was that tho next wind or telegraph from South Carolina would bring news of an insur rection by tho slaves.against their masters— ’He would like to see it, though a million ol men should perish in it, and it should fail.” The Rev. Henry Garrett (black) said— “lt will not always bo borne. Our people will not always consent to be trodden under foot; they will arm themselves some day, if need be, to secure their rights. It will not be a cosily armament neither —a cent a piece will do it farmed with a box of heifer matches, the black man will have the power in his hands. 1 ’ Fred Douglas said— “Men wondered at the late poisoning at Washington ; but men who whip and prosti tute their cooks,,and scourge their niggers, might expect to meet death in the pot. The slave holders are crying to us that we arc try ing to make our niggers cut their throats ; and the reason is they know they deserve to have them cut. To him no sign of encouragement was so interesting os the insurrection at the South." Associate Justice of Kansas. The appointing of the Hon. Joseph Wil liams of lowa, to Ibo Associate Judgeship of the Supreme Court of Kansas, in place of Judge Cunningham of Pennsylvania, resigned, is a roost excellent selection, and secures to the bench of the Territory an able and experienced jurist. Judge Williams was formerly Chief Justice of lowa. to winch Stale he emigrated from Somerset county* Pennsylvania. He is a practical printer, and at one lime published the Upland Union, at Old Chester, Delaware coun ty, which paper, in 1839, ho disposed of to that old and steadfast Democrat, Alexander McKee ver, with a view of derating himself to the law. in which ho had already earned an enviable ref utation. Ho possesses fine legal abilities, be sides beidg “a fellow* of infinite jest." We de fy the most rancorous parly animosity to hold out against his irrcsistablc pleasantry. Ho is familiar with border life, aud bis good humor will bo better than bayonets in settling Kansas troubles. Not long since ho called at the St. Nicholas Hotel, in New York, to sco the Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, t\ow Attorney General ,of Uip United States, meeting him, ho left the following card: I Compliments of the Chief Justice of lowa to the I Chief Justice of Pennsylvania: f O Jerry, dear Jorrx, /bund you at Mat. And memory, burdenoq with aoonca of tho past, Huturna to old Somerset's mountains of snow. Where you woro but “Jerry and I was but “Joe. ” It is announced to-day from Washington, that since bis appointment as Associate Justice of Kansas, Judge Williams has been promoted to the position of Chief Justice in place of Judge Lccompte, removed. The interests of the Ter ritory could not have btfen belter served. Ah Important Political Decision.— Great Britain, even quite recently, in its Judicial deci sions, acknowledged the binding force of tlio principle that British subjects could not throw off their allegiance, hut Wore always subjects of the Crown, to whatever part oi the globe they went. This principle has boon relaxed in a re cent instance. Mr. Lawless, a merchant of Grenada, and a non-combatant in the late Nica raguan troubles, was dragged out of his house and shot by the Guatemalans, when they took Grenada. Ho was formerly o British subject, but became a naturalised citizen of tho United States. Ills mother applied to tho British Gov. ornmont for,.compensation for tho loss of her son’s life and properly. Tho reply was, that ho had renounced hii allegiance by becoming a ci tizen of tho United Stales, and was not entitled to British protection. Tho decision Is stated in 1 a loiter ifom Lord Clarendon. Thus Is the doc. 1 trine u( expatriation fully admitted. * Mas. Cl'njumoiiam Bcrdsll.—ld tho Surro gale’s Court on Wednesday, several affidavits wero read in support of a motion for a commis. slon to California, to fake the testimony of Whllobcad C. liydo, between whom and Mrs. Cunningham (Burdoll) it Is alleged that an en gagement of marriage existed while she was liv ing In Bond street. Further testimony was ta. ken all tending to prove,that Dr. Burdoll was in Herkimer on the 2fllh, 20ih and 27th of October last, which lact scorned to bo pretty clearly cs labllshod. It will bo recollected (hat his repu ted marriage with Mrs. Cunningham took place on tho 28ih of (hut month. New Wheat.—At Augusta, Georgia, wore shown, on (ho 80th of May, some samples of now white Wheal, (raised by Messrs. John Mil ler and Samuel Clarke, Jr., farmers in the neigh borhood qf that city,) nrhloh looked exceedingly tine although not dry enough for the mill. The yield of Wheat on tho ftirma near Augus ta, says tho Constitutionalist, Is very promising, and in a low days cutting will bo over and thrashing will commence, Wo bollovo that it Is tho general impression that tho Whoot crop of Georgia and Tonnossoo, and wo might include tho whole country, has noror presented a more flattering appoaranco for an abundant yield.

Pratt, ono of tho . Mormdn Elders, bctrays-ftn.’optsodo'and a re i suit perfectly in.keeping with tho nature of Morroonism. "This man, being in San Francis 4 co, becomes acquainted with a demoted wife, tho ; mother of three small childrctf. ‘ Wllhthorie vclish arts generated by his creed And perfected by practice, ho induces her to embrace Mor uionism, and elope with him to Utah, where she becomes his ninth wife- The children, which she had been • prevented from taking with her, are sent by the father to her parents at New Orleans. After some months, he learns that the two youngest have been abducted by the mother, who, in order to carry out her plans, pretended that she had abandoned tho Mormon faith. Agonized, if not rendered desperate, by this intelligence, the father starts for New Or leans. whence, led by vague traces, he flics to New York, St. Louis, to Houston, back to New Orleans, thence to Fort Gibson in the Cherokee Nation, where be lights upon letters from Pratt to Mrs. McLean, his faithless wife. Ho takes out a writ for the arrest of the guilty parlies, has them arrested and brought before tho Com missioner for examination. By some means Pratt is discharged. He mounts his horse and | makes oil, but is pursued by McLean and shot i dead. * Such are the briefest outlines of this melan choly allair—yet embracing seduction, poly gamy, kidnapping and murder, as only a part of its hincous ofltnccs to God and man. Can a system comprehending such rottenness and cor ruptions, stand ? Human nature cannot endure it—by its own inherent laws, it will vindicate itself in one way or another. If enactments and police prove insufficient, the very instincts of humanity will rise up to tho rescue. Even within the pale of the sect—no matter how powerfully guarded—tho elements Of rebellion will breed and burst into life. Man is not a demon, and there are principles within him which cannot becrceded and tyrannized wholly out of him. And much os wo deplore such scccns of violence, yet oven between passions, between brutalities, there is a great choice.— But as regards this Utah problem, we trust that the instrumentalities of law will yet prove amply sufficient. Emigration in 1857. We find in the New Yorker Abend-Zeitung some interesting facts respecting the emigration from Europe this year, which promises to be unusually large. According to all accounts and appearances, Germany will furnish a con tingent equal to. if it docs not exceed, the great migration of 1854'. Before the end of the ycai* she will probably send us a force equal in num ber to the entire population of two or three of the petty German States. From all of Germany, including those to which the emigra- tion fever has hitherto been a stronger—such as Pommerania, Western Prussia. Brandenburg, Ac.—reports reach us of large parlies leaving for the nearest seaports, on their way to Ame rica. Most of these emigrants are well-to-do agri culturalists and mechanics. Their reason for emigrating is not want or oppression, hut rather the reverse, ao excess of prosperity : on unac countable rago for speculation, or a desire to acquire wealth more rapidly, has induced thou sands of people, considered "well ott” among | their neighbors, to (urn their baebs-upou their native homes and set out for the West. Tliig acquisition to tho labor and capital of the United States certainly deserres a warm welcome. Tho ready money in possession of these emigrants will alone form a considerable offset to our annual exports of specie, while their labor will be in demand for tho cultivatioi: of the territories beyond the Mississippi. Struck nr tux Comet.— Tho good people down at Indianapolis, Ind., wore terribly fright ened on Tuesday evening. They believe “down there’* that tho comet is going to knock our Ut- lo planet “ all to smash,” and have been greatly exercised about It for some time. With this belief, and under this excitement, they were thrown into a state of alarm on Tuesday oven, ing that is described as “ perfectly awful,” by seeing the moon rise from behind (bo eastern bills, as rod as blood, and looking like the great head of o fiery dragon. They thought It was the copiet—that it wos about to strike— (hat tho end of all earthly things was at hand, and they I sat themselves to work, with prayers and tears and supplications, to “ make tbolr peace,” and to bo ready to “go up.” So frightened were I they, says tho Lajayette Journal, (bat the alarm I bells were rung, and the tiro-engines brought out, and tho excitement and confusion for n few moments woro indescribable. Tho idea of calling out the engines, under such circumstan. cos, was worthy oflho genius of Dame Parting- ton, who undertook to repel an Invasion of tho Atlantic with her mop. Tho appearance of tho full orb above (ho horizon soon restored the people to (heir senses, and converted (heir shrieks of affright and frenzied appeals to heav en Into a general guffaw. An Innoobnt PlattuiHo.— The swivel ta ken from the Baltimore rowdies at Washington was a brass six-poundcr, and when uloaded by its captors was found charged nearly to tho muzzle with musket balls, cartrigcs, paving stones, shot of various kinds and ono or two pocket-handkerchiefs as- wadding. This was a very effective instrument for carrying an elec tion when tho opposition voto tvas too strong, much more so than a sluflcd-ballot box, for it would get rid of tho opposition votes and voters at tho same time. Military Affairs.—General Scott, with tho approbation of the President, has Just issu ed tho following orders:—The two companies of tho Second Oragroons to move from Fort Randall to Fort Leavenworth. Tho Colonel of tho Second Infantry to dct&ch three compa nies of that regiment, two to occupy Port find ling, and one Fort Ridgcly. Tho Fifth Regi ment to bo replaced .in Florida by volunteers, who aro to proceed to Joflcrson Barracks and there await further orders. Tho Tenth Infant ry are ordered to Fort Leavenworth, eight com panics at once, and two to leave Forts Snul. ling and Rldgely as soon os they are relieved by tho companies from the Second Regiment. Tho above movements will bo mado with tho least possible delay. Tho military orders were sent by telegraph on Monday, both to' Now York ond Leavenworth. 07” It is calculated that ton thousand now townships and villages havo boon laid out, on paper, recently, In tho now lands of (ho West, ora States and Territories, and U Is supposed that at least ton million dollars cash and twenty millions credit havo gone out within two years to bo invostod there. Interesting to Topers. Tljo recent death of a young man in Bramp ton, Canada, 1 from fasting fho “essence of brandy,” with which ho was manufacturing- Cognac, and the revelation of fho fact that strychnine is largely used In the manufacture oif whiskey, has awakened some attention to fho nature of fho drinks which aro sold for pure spirits. Brandy, gin, wine, and whiskey are so adulterated that comparatively little pure liquor can bo purchased. Most of the brandies are a mixture of diabolical ingredients, caustic enough to burn oak chips, to say nothing of the delicate tissues of tho human body.
