An Error.— ln our leading editorial of lasi week, a vexatious error escaped our attention until after the edition of our paper had been worked off. It occurred in the article headed “ The Tonnage Tax,” in ihe paragraph read ing thus—“ The act of the last Legislature, exempting this corporation (the Pennsylvania Railroad) from taxation, and thus robbing the people of three or four thousand dollars annu ally, was one of the most stupendous acts of corruption and villainy ever enacted by a body of men calling itself a legislature." Instead of reading " three or four thousand i dollars annually," as above, it should read “ throe or four hundred thousand dollars an- i nually," Ac. The good sense of our loaders, I wo hope, would point out the omission when they read the article. Senator Bigler's Speech. We publish on our first page, a full report of the able and argumentative speech recently de livered by Senator Bigler, at Clarion. To uso tho language of the Pittsburg Union, “It is a clear, manly, and conclusive answer to the po sitions assumed by Judge Wilmot, and shows the fanatical and Impracticable character of (ho appeal which he is now making to (ho people of Pennsylvania. Whether Wilmot has gained anything by inviting Senator Bigler into the ' contest by bis frequent allusions to his pohli- ' cal course remains to be seen. In our humble opinion, ho would have done better to let it . alone. Tho efforts of tho republican candidate to make capital out of the slavery question in & gubernatorial canvass are falling lifeless. He 1 haw utterly failed, thus far in hts course, to pro duce ft solitary demonstration of enthusiasm. — The people of Pennsylvania arc mostly practi cal thinkers, and they regard the single speech of Wilmot as a ridiculous attempt to revive an exploded issue for the purpose of eflecting his own election to office.” Bbideet and Coriu.ttion. —H. B. Swoop, Esq., Chairman of the “American” State Coin • mittcc, published some startling statements in the Dully News of Monday morning, relative to the bribery election fund used last fall to cor rupl the public press of this Stale. These presses were bribed with money to the support of Fubuont. Some of them received §O5O, oth ers 3-100, $3OO, 6250, &c. Mr. Swoop gives the names of sixteen of these bribed presses, and the amount they each received. The money was paid them by Gov. Foul) of Ohio, who. it will be remembered, visited this county in the' early part of the campaign last foil. Two of the papers mentioned in the list, arc published in this county. We refrain from giving their names for the present, for it gives us no pleas ure to see men of our own profesion occupy so unenviable a position. We had our suspicions last fall that Fonu had been sent here, with money in his pockets, and that lint money was used for the purpose of changing the tone of certain papers, but we never knew the faot, and of course could make no statement from our own knowledge. We arc sorry that Ford’s corruption fund ever reached our county, for. instead of rejoicing at the position in which certain editors are placed, we really pity any man whoso avarice leads him into an error that approaches crime and shame. (XT' Tho Boston Courts have had on ui&l n physician named Holman, alias livery. and a 1 Mrs. Robinson, on ibo charge of templing lo extort money from a gentleman by threatening (o accuse him of criminal intercourse with Mrs. Robinson, who is the wife of a member of the Suffolk bar. The woman.it appears, has been practising for years this species of extor tion, getting very large sums of money from timid men. Tim last intended victim had the moral- courage to refuse to bo plucked, and brought hjs case into court, where a jury gave a verdict against tho parties engaged in the conspiracy, and they have been sent to the Sloto Prison for five years.

AVIIY Tills AGITATION t Wo ask, In nil seriousness, why It is that tho Black Republicans insist on continuing tho dis cussion of tho slavery question 7 What good can result from it 7 How can tho discussion of this question benefit tho people 7 Pending tho Presidential contest last fall this subject was discussed in every county 0/ every State In tho Union. It was regarded a national question, and It was right and proper that tho people shahid understand it thoroughly, so (hat they might vote They did under stand,and then voted ns (hoirjudgmenl dictated. Wo supposed, and the people bcilovcd, tho question had been settled at tho polls, and that tho verdict they had rendered had decided it forever. It was admitted by all that to continue the discussion niter the people hid passed judg ment upon it, would bo unwlso as it would bo useless. Pur several months after tho election, the opponents of democracy remained passive. They had been defeated, and, as nil wero led to believe, their principles defeated with them. They had fought tho battle (upon Issues presented by themselves,) and had lost It.— Why, then, wo ask onco more, do oar oppo nents dcsiro to fight the contest over again 7 Instead of discussing tho subject of slavery In tho territories, let Mr. Wilmot define Ida po position in regard to Slate affairs. He is run. ning for office in Pennsylvania, and not in Kan. sns, as his speeches would seem to imply. Kan sas is abundantly able to take care of herself, if lutcrmeddlers will but let her alono. Under the wise administration of Gov. Walker, peace has been restored to that heretofore distracted ter ritory, and in a short time tho people of Kansas will ask Congress to admit her into tho sister hood of States, with a Constitution framed by themselves. What right has Mr. Wilmot, then —what right have tho Black Republicans of Pennsylvania, to interfere with Kansas/ The people of that territory, we feel sure, do not de sire their interference, and will feel very much obliged to them if they mind their own business. Gen. Packer, tho Democratic nominee for Governor, In tho speeches ho has made, discus ses Slate questions and State policy. 11 0 gives his views In regard to questions in which our 1 people arc directly interested. Why is it that Mr. Wilmot is unwilling to pursue a similar policy? Let him drop tho absurdity about “ bleeding Kansas," and confine himself to to pics legitimately before tho people, and In which Iho people liavo an inlercrt. Wo have had enough discussion in regard to wool and ne groes, and ail tho appeals and eloquence of At>- olifion stump speakers, will fail to deceive or blindfold tho people. As pertinent to tho present condition of af fairs, wo publish below Hknbt Clay’s famous letter to bis biographer, Colton.

Douglas, by tho editor of a Republic paper, the Newburyport (Mass) Herald, is graphic and amusing. It appears that he was a pas senger with Judge Douglas on a trip in the cars from St. Louis to Chicago, at the closo of the celebration of tho opening of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad in June last; That little man, with n big. round head, a brow nliflost as broad os Webster’s, and a quick, active eye, that rolls under the heavy, projecting brow, watching every other man, and not allowing a motion to escape hitn-Awith arms too short for his body, which is full and round, ns though it never lacked the juices that supply life : and with small, duck legs, which, had they grown as thick as his back bone, (and they would probably, if Providence had not forsocn that no would want back-bone more than legs in his battle oflife,) would have made him of respectable stature, that little man is no less than the great politician of the West, who has attracted more attention in the Inst four years than any other man of the nation, and done more to give direction to public affairs than even the President, with a million and a half of voters at his back, and the army, navy, and treasury of North America at Jus com mand. It is the "Little Giant,” Stephen A. Douglas, with whom we parted company at Vincennes, and who has slowly come along, feeling the public pulse, to learn the political health of tho “suckers,” up to Springfield, the capital of the State. The means of success in Senator Douglas arc very apparent. First he is really and intellec tually a great man. Eastern people who view him only ns a low polilitian, should disabuse their minds in relation to one «ho is to exercise a wide influence in the affairs of the country, and very probably- for he is yet y’oung —‘o be the head of the Republic. He is massive in his conceptions, broad and comprehensive in his views, and in a good measure is endowed with all those powers of mind that make a states man. But ho is greater still in energy of character. There are those who think that a defect of him next year would ho his death in politics ; but the man who sprung from a cabinet-maker's shop in Vermont, nnd without father or friend, worked his way Jo an honorable place upon the bench of judges, who entered Illinois with less than fifty cents in money nnd not one cent in credit, and has acquired great wealth and the highest station and influence, is not easily to be wiped out. But if he is great in mind, nnd greater in energy, he is greatest in these win ning manners from which the world calls him a demagogue. Scarcely a man, woman, or child in (he cars escaped his attention, or was passed by unspoken to. At one moment he talks with the old. stem-visaged politician, who has been sourced by a thousand defeats and disappoint ments. in the next to that well-formed and genial Kentuckian, who has just sought a free State ; now he sits down wjth tho little girl ap proaching her teens, and asks of her school studies : and he pats the little boy on the head, and in the presence of his fond mother and firond father (what father is not proud to see iis l>oy noticed ?) says & word of hts mild eyes or glossy locks. Again the lady is approached with a (nir word and a bland smile, and goes homo pleased to tell her husband or father how he looks and what he says, and then half a dozen arc about him. nil standing together. He can talk religion with the priest as well ns politics with the .statesman, ho can congralulnc the newly appointed Bu chanan office-holder, who has supplanted his friend, tell the displaced friend of tho “good lime coming," when his wing shall be up : and at every station, more regularly than the con ductor. Mr. Douglas is upon the platform, with a good bye to the leaving, and a welcome to the departing traveller—a shake of the hand with one man that stands at tho depot, and a touch of a hat to another. He knows everybody ; can tell the question that effects each locality ; call the name of ever)’ farm owner on the way ; tell all travellers something of the homes they left that they never knew themselves, and sug gest what they are adapted for In fids liTo, nnd what place thoydcsoive In heaven. Now such a man ns that. In contact with eve rybody, knowing everybody, nnd capable of pleasing everybody, and at (bo bottom wrapped up with the one idea of preferment, power, and dominion among monels not easily to he put down ; anti his opponents might ns well believe nt once, flint when they tight him they light a strong man—alittlo giant Indeed. lie would he popular In Boston or anywhere else, and half the “three thousand clergymen” ho denounced would have their hearts stolen If ho could speak to them a half hour.

Nothing will afford me higher salifaction than the execution of this trust, whenever the public opinion of the peo ple of the State shall concentrate upon some Honored son, distinguished above all others, lo receive this precious token “in strict compli ance with the bequest of the donor.” Until L can thus execute the trust of the great and good man whom "T represent.

The steamer Empire City, left Havana about an hour later than the Central America, and the two vessels were in sight of one another un til the afternoon, when the Central America outran the other and was seen no more. On Thursday, about noon, as we learn from the captain of the Empire City, one of the most severe gales even, known began, continuing without inlernnssion until Monday atl2o’clock, the wind varying during the lime from north east to southwest around by f.e west, and blowing furiously from each point. This tem pest came very near wrecking ihe Empire City, but she was able to get into Norfolk on the 15th inst., but in a desperately crippled condi tion. The same gale caused the total loss of the steamship Norfolk, from Philadelphia bound to Norfolk, and a number of other vessels. Havana. September 18.—Henry U. Childs, one of the rescued passengers, states that the Central America left Havana on the Blh inst., having had delightful weather and a calm sea frum Aspinwnll to that port. On the after noon of the day of sailing from Havana we had a fresh breeze, and on Wednesday it blew very siron". At night it increased and rained in torrents. On Thursday the wind blew a hur ricane. and the sea rose very high. On Friday the storm raged with unabated fury, and at eleven o’clock, A. M., it was llrst known among-the passengers that the steamer had sprung aleak and was making water fast. A line of men was formed, who went to work in bailing the water from her engine room, the fires having been already extinguished by the furnaces being overflowed. We gained upon it so much lhat the firemen were enabled lo get np steam again, but this continued for only a few minutes, when the fires were again extin guished. nnd the engines were abandoned. The hailing, however. |wns continued in ail parts of the vessel, and kept up until she finally went down. During Friday night, the water gained gradually, but all being in good spirits, we worked to the best of our ability, feeling that when morning came we might probably speak some vessel, tpul be saved. The fatal Saturday, came at last, but brought nothing but an increased fury of the storm Still we worked on. About 2 o’clock. P. M., the storm lulled a little, and the clouds broke away, so that our hopes were renewed, nnd we all worked like giants. At 4 o’clock. P. M., we spied a sail and fired guns. Our flag being at half-mast, it was seen, and the brig Marine, of Bogton, bore down upon us. We then con sidered our safety certain. She came near, nnd we spoke lo her explained our condition j She laid to about a mile distant, and we, in J only three of the bonis, saved nil the women I and children, and they were safely put on board the brig. As evening was fast approaching wo discov ered another sail, which responded to onr call ' nnd came near us Cupl Herndon told them onr crippled condition and asked them inlay by send a boat, as we had none left. She promise!) lo do so. but this was the Inst we saw of her. except at a distance, winch grew greater at every moment. I At 7 o’clock we saw no possibility of keep ing nflnnt much longer, although if we could do so until morning, nil would he saved in a j short lime. A heavy sea for the first time broke over her upper deck, nnd our hopes faded away. Life preservers were then furnished to iho passengers, ami wc sent up two reek eta.— A tremendous sen then swept over us, and the steamer, in a moment, went down. I think I that some four hundred or four hundred and fifty souls were launched upon the ocean, at the mercy' of the waves. The storm at tin’s time had entirely subsided. We all kept near together, nnd went ns the waves took us.— There was nothing, or very little said, except each one cheered and courage was kept up for i two or three hours, and 1 think for that space of tunc none had drowned. But those who could not swim became ex hausted. nml one by one gradually passed to eternity. The hope that boats would he sent to us from the two vessels we had spoken In. soon lied from us, and our trust was alone in Providence : and what belter trust could you or 1 ask for ? 1 saw my comrades fast sinking, and nt one o’clock that night. 1 was nearly alone on the ocean, some two hundred miles from I however heard shouts from all that could do so. that they were nol far from me. but I could nol see them. Within an hour from this time, I saw a vessel, ns I judged, about one mile from me- Taking fresh courage, I struck out for the vessel, ami reached it wjxtn nearly exhausted : but was drawn on board by ropes. It proved to be a Norwegian barque, from Bnlizo, Honduras, bound for Falmouth, England. I found on Imard ol her some three of my comrades, and at nine o’clock tho next morning wc had forty nine noble fellows on tjnard. And these arc all I know of haring been saved. Wo cruised about the scene of disaster, until wc thought that alt alive hail liecn rescued : and then set sail. THE SURVIVORS AT NORFOLK. lIOIMCS KVTKIIT AI N’KI) THAT CAPTAIN’ UKUN’nON AND OTIIKII3 WKItK KKSCUKt). Wastmn'otov. September 20.—A despatch from Norfolk. received by the Petersburg Ex press. says that the brig Marino arrived at a Into hour nn Friday night. The passengers think that others hare been Raved, qk they row several lights in the distance on the fatal night of (ho disaster. There are also strong hopes of the safely of Captain Herndon, who was on the wheel-house when the Central America went down, and wbh last seen clinging to a plank and strug gling manfully for his life. When the survivors brought by the Marino entered Iho parlor of the National Hotel at Norfolk, many thrilling scenes were presented. The ladies would look aroumU and. failing to recognise their husband, brother, or Ron among the assembled crowd, would givo utterance to their grief in loud cries, or fall helpless lo the floor. The scene was distressing in Lho ex treme, and beggars all description. A meeting of the citizens of Norfolk was held for the relief of the distressed survivors, and the clothing stores were thrown open and nppnrcl furnished to many who were nearly naked. A fund of SBOO was contributed hy (ho citizens to aid tho Rtiflercrs. Dr. Harvey. of Placcrviltc. awards great credit to Captain Herndon and all bis officers, except tho chief engineer. He says they stood to their posts nobly, and went down with the ship. Great praise is awarded to Captain Johnson, of the barque Ellen, and his officers and crow. Gkn.
