AMERICAN VOLUNTEER, JOHN b. BItATTOSN Editor & Proprietor, CARLISLE, PA., JUNE 9, 1859. Democratic State Nominations. POU AUDITOR GENERAL, RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT, ' Of Philadelphia POU- SURVEYOR GENERAL, JOHN ROWE, Of Franklin County . Another Fire. —The large Stable belonging to Mr. Wm. GbXham-, at the south‘end of Han over 'Street, in-lhis borough, was entirely do slroyed by fire on Sunday night last; about 11 o'clock. Mdst of our citizens had retired to bbd, and considerable time elapsed before the firemen were upon the ground. After their ar rival, however, they worked manfully, and con fined the liamcs to the one building. The fire was the work of an incendiary. The property. we learn, was partly insured. Hail;—We notice by our exchanges that hail storms have been common of laic in all sections of our country. In many places the growing, crops have suffered very materially. Milk and Water.—The resolutions adopted by our opponents in their County Convention hbld in this place on Tuesday of last week, may be called milk and water. ~ Why is it that bur opponents keep talking so much about “Republican- principles” in their papers, and yet are afraid-to open ,their lips on the slavery subject when they meet in Convention ? They are too timid even to announce a single princi ple or suggest a single measure, State or Na tional. Opposition to the President is the only string they harp upon. Contemptible. Maref.d'Citangk of Temperature. The weathbr of Tate is-as capricious and coquettish as a spoiled‘beauty. -Thursday and'Friday of last.week were hot, sultry and oppressive days —much like August weather. .Blit Saturday was a very different kind of day, and as even ing approached it became exceedingly chilly, even cold. Stoves that had been stowed away were hauled out. and pedestrians could be seen with overcoats well“buttoned up.. The entire night continued freezing cold, and on Sunday morning ice was formed in rain.- yessela the thickness of a pane of glass. Truly, pur cli mate is becoming very uncertain James Maomanus, Esq.— Several of our De mocratic exchanges, we notice, speak very fa vorable of James Macmanus, Esq. of Belielonte, asWho next Democratic candidate lor governor of Pennsylvania., We consider it a little pre mature to agitate this.qucstion now. After the October election lias taken place, will bo time enough to look about ns lor candidates for 1800. We may be permitted to remark, however, that JJmes MacMANt’9- is a gentleman of sterling worth, and a most-estimable man in every re spect. AVe have known him intimately almost them our boyhood; and' alivays- found Kim the same fearless and zealous- dbfender of the raea and measures* of the great Democratic party, buying our residence at Harrisburg Mr. M. was a.member of the House of Representatives for several sessions, and was regarded the loading man on the Democratic side. , As a lawyer, le gislator and citizen, lie has so conducted him self as to secure the confidence and esteem of , hbnest men of both parties.* With him as-our candidate we feel satisfied that his election would follow by-an immense majority. Wo believe Mt. M. was born and raised in our town, and ftom-a poor hoy he lias, by his own unaided ef forts, gaincdi.a.position that any man might be proud of. ~ - Virginia,— The majority for Letcher, the Democratic-•candidate for Governor, will be about GiSDOI The Democrats have carried every Congressman except one. try- in Washington, on Monday, the election ot municipal officers resulted in- a Democratic triumph. ~ , • • .rr~y~ The municipal election in New Havonj Oonn., resulted in the success of the Deraocrn tic ticket, with the exception of’ a few council men, who were elected by the Republicans. Terrible- Storm. -The Shippensburg News says there occurred' about 2 o’clock on Friday, the 27th ult.,ono of the most terrible and de structive storms that ever visited this county. The path of its destruction, so far ns we have been able to ascertain < commenced' one or two miles from Roxbury, and moved in a north easterly" direction. It was accompanied by thunder, lightning, rain and hail, and did a great amount of damage to the district nearly ten miles in. length arid one in breadth—over which it passed. In the vicinity of Roxbury and ns far as Newburg, entire crops were de stroyed, orchards uprooted, houses and barns removed from their foundations and shattered to pieces, fences blown down, &c. A new bank barn belonging to Mr; Jos. llederlv, situated four miles north-east of Newburg, was blown 1 down, and the very foundation shivered to atoms. Two carpenters, Messrs., D. Shell and ' Smith,'engaged at tho time in finishing 1 the building, becoming alarmed at the intensity of the storm, got under a work-bench near the ( barn, and a few minutes thereafter the barn was j blown upon them. The former had his leg , broken, and it was yrith tho greatest difficulty i that he was taken from the ruins. The latter . cscaped'uninjurcd. Mr. John'Stofeu and son . at the time were out-with a team, and narrowly escaped with their lives. After the storm had subsided, they found themselves, team and all, in a clover field; a-short distance from the road side, where they had been blown, but of which Mr. S. was unconscious. Besides these many other lives were imperilled. It is. impossible fOr us to give all the particulars of this fearful tornado, as an unabriged 1 account of it would occupy too much of our space, yet we believe we have given-the essential-facts. During the storm, the entire horizon became as dark as night and the most vivid' lightning, daried: athwart the sky, and a continuous roaring and commotion kept up among the clouds. ■ American Agriculturist for June, is well filled with a vast amount of interesting, useful, and valuable information on rural af fairs, It is also embellished with a number of well-executed wood engravings.

The Now York Tribune, says the Bedford Gazelle, it must be acknowledged, is oho of the principal organs of the Black Republican parly. TFiat journal is at present studiously and active ly laboring to cbinont together the Black’ Re publican parly of the North and the ‘Know- Nothing Opposition party of the South, prepa ratory to .the grout presidential battle in 1800. Now, it is well-known that the principal stock in trade of the Tribune and its Black Republi can followers, is a professed opposition ,to sla very. Therefore, Is it not a little odd that we should find Mr. Greeley courting an alliance with such rabid pro-slavery men as those who have the control of the Opposition in the South ? Is it not a little singular that the Tribune, which has been belching forth its thunders against sla very in interminable volleys, should now be found cheek by jowl with the very fiercest and most unoompromislng advocatas of the “pecu liar institution I” One would be astonished to see oil and water mix; not loss astonishing is it that the rampant opponents of slavery—the jot black Abolitionists of the North--are ready and i anxious to affiliate with their political antipodes, io pro-slavery men of the South. Can sucl an affiliation bo one of principle? Can such an amalgation have any unity ‘ of purpose ?_ No principle save that which declares that “To the victors belong the spoils”—no unity of purpose, save that which nerves the hungry office-seeker in his hunt after the public plunder—can lie at the foundation of such a coalition. Mr. Groo- ley and bis Anti-slavery compeers are either trying to bury their Abolitionism for tho sake of ensuring themselves the spoils, or they are facing to the right-about in their political opin ions. Tlie truth about tho matter, is simply that they want success —they want the loaves and fishes of office. .Their party has been an expensive speculation and they must-make spine money out of it, or it will he a losing one into tho bargain. Hence they are willing to throw principle to the dogs, and to let.tiie “ poor no. groes”—even those that Pierce' Butler sold— rattle their chains uncared lor. That our readers may see what are tho views ot tho Southern Opposition bn (lie slavery ques lion, and that the Northern Abolitionists who are now plotting to coalesce with Opposi tion, are seeking a union with the most ardent propagandists of slavery, we publish tho annex ed resolution, which is a part of tho platform of the Opposition in the 7th -Congressional district of Kentucky. The, resolution was written by Garret Davis, a leader of the Kentucky Know'- Nothing's.: “Resolved, That if is the right and. duty ol Congress to sco that slaves and all other proper ty in the Territories of the United States are properly protected, and secured to the owners j, and that, if tho Legislatures of the Territories,, which derive their powers from the the laws of Congress, tail to pass laws necessary and proper for the protection ot slave property, it is the duty Of Congress to intervene and itself pass such Taws.” ' - " The President and the Mormons. —At- torney-General Black, under the instruction of the President, has replied, to the joint letter of the Utah judges on the,subject of the military force with which the Court for the second dis trict.was attended during the ■ term recently held at Provo City. He says it is very proba ble that the Mormons have been guilty of crimes for which they deserve the severest pun ishment, and that it is not in tended by the gov ernment to let any one escape against whom the proper proofs-can be produced. With, that view the District. Attorney has been instructed to use ail possible dilligence in bringing cririii nals of every class and ufl all.degrees to justice. The usual and established modes of dealing with public offenders must be before apy others are adopted.'' 6iiTfie whole the Pre sident is very decidedly of tiie opinion, first, that the Governor of the Territory alone has the power to issue a requisition upon the com manding General for the whole or part of the army; second, that there was no apparent oc casion for the presence of the troops at Provo; third, that if a rescue of the prisoners in custo dy had been attempted, it was tho duty of the Marshal, and not of the Judge, to summon the force which might be necessary to prevent it; , fourth, that tho troops ought not to have been sent to Provo without the concurrence of the Governor, nor kept there against his remon ’ strancc: fifth, that the disregard of these prin -7 ciplcs and rules of notion has been in many ways extremely unfortunate. The national Democracy is the only or ganization which, in this country, has stood fast and firm. It stands now where it always stood. Buffeted, and besieged, atilt it is as stea dy as-tho rocll:of the ocean-that stems a thou-. sand<witd waves on tho shore: Around Its or ganizatiori will cluster again in 1860, as they did in 1855, the conservative influences of pub lic opinion—making tltein voice known as the decision of the majority of the American peo- The Cumberland Valley Bridge; —We learn that the workmen will resume operations on the Cumberland. Valjyy bridge, about the beginning of next week.' This will give em ployment to a number of tin smiths, carpenters, laborers and' others. The material used for. covering the bridge is a superior article of gal vanized iron, a large quantity of which is now on hand’rcady for the workmen to commence operations. Not a Candidate.— President Buchanan, re cently, in alluding to tho insinuation of the Op position journals, that his Visit to North Caroli na was with a view to a nomination for a second term, said that nothing was further from his in. tention than this, arid ha would avail himself of the first opportunity publicly to disabuse the minds of those who suspected him of the design again to become a candidate for the Presidency. Descent or Police upon Gamblers.— A fow nights since, some* police officers made a de scent on a gambling crib in Harrisburg, Pa., but the alarm had been' given, and a universal stampede took place, out of doors at)d windows, and over yards, pairings arid (oucos. So preci pitate was the retreat, that tho officers did not succeed in making any captures. The Indies of the Ev.

The Black Republicans, by the assistance of Americans and disafleclcd Democrats, have been enabled to win a few victories in the North ern States, in consequence of which they now talk largel y of what they are goihg to do here after. They are as boastful over their unimport ant triumphs, as if they had a sure thing of the Presidency for twenty years to come. Some of those who helped them to gain these triumphs, however, seem to differ with them concerning their prospects of future success. The Phila delphia Daily News, a jpurnal which did as much as any other opposition paper in the State, to elect the “.People’s Party" ticket, last- Fall, has some plain talk in regard to the strength of the “ Republicans.” In the estimation of the News, they are not so formidable after all. - The. Neivs is a regular Opposition organ, and we, therefore commend its remarks to those of bur political opponents who entertain the Quixotic idea that the vßepublican” party is invincible. Thus discoursed! the Neivs: ■ The free States have nearly two-thirds, of the members of.the popular branch - of Congress; and nine-tenths of the peop’e who will go into new Territories, have no interest in slavery, and are opposed to its extension. There is there • fore , no danger of -the extension of .slavery but Republicanism, like a great coward, is ter ribly afraid of a very little boy, and will listen to nothing.but opposition to slavery extension, insisting that it must he made- 11 the be-all and end all” of our national politics. Suppose the more rational part of the community were will ing to yield to these timid suggestions, and the tricksters who direct their movements, what would be the result? Simply To keep away frora their organization all sensible and prudent men. and as they make up a handsome number, the Republican party must be left in hopeless minority. With all the steam, gas,‘and fustian that could be got up in 1856, the Republican parly mustered hut u third part of the voters of the country, and there is no probability that they will ever get so large a portion again.— The wire-workers of the parly, howeVer, keep up the idea that their strength is increasing— their real aim being to get their own candidate nominated by a Republican Convention, to carry as many northern states as they can for him, arid. thus get the election into the House of Re presentatives, where they think they can engin eer him through, and thus secure the spoils, honors, and powers of the General Government. This is, without doubt', a pretty scheme; biit while they-are carrying it out, the Locofocos taking courage from the division of their ene*. mies, will muster all their forces, and taking up a candidate who has not become odious to the people, they will elect him. ' . : The President in North Carolina. The President left Washington on Monday week last for North Carolina, on a visit to the University of that State, accompanied* by, the Hon. Jacob Thompson, SecretaVy of the Interi or. ' Upon their arrival at Weldon, in that Stale, on Tuesday, they were formally wel comed by Gov. Ellis and Ex-Gov. Bragg, and other distinguished'eilizens. v The following are the remarks made by Gov. Ellis, and the reply of the President. It will' be observed that the latter publicly reiterates the declaration of his inaugral; that he will retire to private life at .the end Of his term. This puts to rest the rumors so constantly cir culated by opposition letter-writers, (hat he has been looking-forward to a second term, and shaping affairs to control the Charleston Con vention for that end-: ; - address of gov. suits." I welcome you, Mr. President, in the name, of the people of North Carolina.. Fellow citi zens, 1 have the honor of introducing lb you James Buchanan, .President of* tho United States. It needs not That I should speak to you of his character and public service. They are a part of the history Of this great country, nnd. as'we value that country, so will wo value his services in its'behalf.', It-has been said of a distinguished Marshal of France, that he fought five hundred battles for his country, and never one against it. So may ive say of the illustri ous Chief Magistrate who stands before you, that he has fought one hundred political bat 4 ties for hia country, and never one against it, Let those forget 1 those battles who can, but never can the bosom of a Norlh Carolinian cease to pulsate at the remembrance of ,Them. His efforts for the good of the country, have only been circumscribed by the Constitution and the Union, limits beyond which no true patriot dare go. At the close of half a century of pub lic life, wc can sincerely congratulate him on its results; and to-day, while Europe is strug gling in the smoke of war with her millions of soldiers, we assemble in peace to pour forth the grateful tribute of a people m token of the re cognition of these results. (Cheers. J REPLY OF PRESIDENT BUCHANAN. I reciprocate with all my heart the cordial welcome I have just received from the,citizens of North Carolina. I have long contemplated a visit to your great and fruitful State, but have never been able to do so till now. I must have come now or not at all, for the age I will have attained when my term shallhavc ended, and when I shall go into retirement, is that at which man is warned to remain at rest and prepare for that great event which must over take us all. I. have always admired this Slate. It is truly conservative, and while the fire of liberty burns as brightly in the bosoms of North Carolinians as in the hearts of any of, the inhabitants of this Union, the love of law and order are equal ly prevalent. Liberty, as cherished by all par ties in North Carolina, becomes a great civil blessing, unmixed, as it is, with' lawlessness, which would make it a curse. The Governor has spoken of roe as a' suppor ter of the Constitution and the Union, and he has spoken truly. I ever expect to be. As long as this great charter of liberty remains unimpaired, we shall*.be the .greatest the happiest people in the world. But let it bo battered, and we become the scorn of the'world and the hope of tyrants. Thank God there is no danger lo it from North Carolina, for while she may have had her differences in politics, she has never wavered on the great question of the Constitution. [Loud and prolonged cheers ; God bless the Old North Slate 1 [Cheers-] The United Democracy.—A little while ago we were told that the Democratic party was annihilated; but now the N. Y. Tribune says: , ••Nothing is more certain than that, with all the violent distractions of the Democracy, and their seemingly hopeless divisions in particular sections, the party will present a united front' after the nomination at Charleston, and it will require the harmonious and concerted action of the whole Opposition to secure success in 1860.” That’s true, Mr. Tribune..’ Don’t base your ■hopes of success upon the passing disagreements which have temporarily divided the Democratic parly. On all the great national issues, it is still one in sentiment, and when the proper time comes, will bo found united in its organization, and prepared to meet the enemy in the open field, and'fair fight of popular opinion. Heavy Damages.— ln St. Louis, on Thursday, Miss Eftlo Carstang, a lady of about tweilty-flve, obtained a verdict of one hundred thousand dol lars' against an old' gentleman named Henry Shaw, for a broach of promise of marriage.— The defendant is sixty-flvo years of ago, and, of course, very rich. The case has .been on trial for some days, and excited much Interest. BONAPARTU LEAVING HOME. The Parting scenes at the Tuilleries. Tho an extract from tho letter of the Paris correspondent of tho Post: “ For sev eral hours previous'to that at which lam wri ting, Paris has presented a scene of ' animation which belongs alono to largo, cities and great events—the event on the present occasion being the Emperor’s departure from tho Tuilleries at six o’clock’, to head tho army of Italy. A 80. napario was - once more turning ids back on Pa ris to join the imperial eagles on tho plains ol Italy. This day will be memorable in the mod ern'history: of Europe, for great events must follow. The people of Paris seemed tofeeUpo occasion, for they flocked from all quarters of tho city at an early hqur, and took up position along the Rue do Rivoli to tho Lyons Railway station. Every window was crowded with spec tators, whilst the pathways on either side pro sented a dense mass of human beings, so closely packed as to prevent the possibility of circula tion. Before the departure of the Emperor took place, several, carriages passed down the Rue do Rivoli,'With the ladies and friends of of ficers attached to the Emperor’s stafl-and house hold. They all drove to the railway terminus, there to bid farewell to those nearest dearest to them! Prince Jerome, all tho members of the imporiarfamily, the Ministers of State, and ma ny personal and-particular friends of his Majes ty, proceeded to the Tuilleries about four o’- clock, to bid farewell to the Emperor, and con sole tho Empress. Majesty, I was told by one present; observed his usual calm and confi dent aspect, saying a kind word to all who ap proached. The little prince was amongst the group which surrounded the Emperor and Em press, and appeared, I am informed, remarkably amused and childishly delighted with the bust ling scene. There were about two hundred persons permitted to approach their Majesties on this occasion. . Ejactly at half pdst five, the Emperor mounted oh a magnificent charger at the foot of the grand staircase of the Tuil- levies dressed in the uniform of a general of di vision, and wearing the cordon of the Legion of Honor. His Majesty was preceded by the Hun dred Guards as he rode on followed by a few Cavalry of the Line, and then a carriage con taining the Empress, and a second vehicle.with the ladies in waitings, “Long live the Empe ror!” “Long live Italy! ’ burst from the lips of thousands of well-dressed persons, and I heard the same shouts echoed faintly long after the. glittering procession had passed out of sight. The crowd was most enthusiastic, so far as I was able to judge. Leapt June.—The leafy beauties of the sweet month of June are now upon us,.and all who have not becoihe pupils we advise to edu cate their senses to an acquaintance 1 with the softness, fragrance and melody that abounds— the trees deokcd;m their garniture of leaves, the birds glistening and whirling anti splashing in thesnri like clirsteVs of winged gems, and filling the grand arch of the heavens with their melo dious songs. All around us what throngs of birds and what variety of plumage! What un-, ravelling iof buds and weaving of beautiful leaves is everywhere going on ! Come out into the sunlight aqd grow young again with the renewed of tbejgrcen carpet of the earth, quiv ering in life. . .The fashion of business shuts the eye to the rifch,luxuriance and graceful beauty t of the wSylrig^aippin-anticipatioh ,'of the pro fits of the barest', Let us learn to prize and enjoy the varied-seasons rounds, and to open the infijost chamber of the heart to the refining, health giving, joy inspiring influence of thcbrighthiia blessed leafy June. And as we gaze and admire the outward adornments of the eafth with -their manifold attractions and uses, let the thoughts and affections within us unite in the production of every interior virtue and.grace to illustrate our lives and, regulate our conduct, and to restore to us the delights of the garden of Eden : “Jubilant | let ail tbe earth he glad, , For June, June, how is here: And earth’-s in matchless beauty clad.

Thcj Mount Vernon timber is now be ing manufactured into canes,’gbblets, necklaces, armlets, picture frames and trinkets in various shapes. ■, i Sickles in Pursuit of Peace.— Tho New York-correspondent of the Charleston News, says“ bapiel E, Sickles, on dit, (who is back from Washington,)’is to sail for Europe about the middle or-last Of June, there to spend a few months in quiet repose, and recuperate bis pre sent shattered political - energies.

He’was married in 1828, and leaves no children. ' Lord Godolphin, his cousin, succeeds to the title, It is retnarka hie that the throe sisters, and the only American ladies, we believe, who married British noble men, had no offspring. The elder, the March ioness of Wellesley, died a few years since, and her two sisters,.the Duchess of Leeds and the Baroness of Stafford, are now dowagers. These ladies wore renowned for their pesonal beauty, and they were'all widows when they mat ried their noble husbands. Theirnieoo,Mias MoTa vish, married a brother of the Earl of Carlisle.

A Man Shot by his Wife. An Infuriated Woman Seeking Venge ance.—Tho Lancaster Express, of .Thursday evening last, gives tho particulars of the shoot- ( ing of Isaac Wagner; by his wife. Wagner is well known in the northern part of Chester county. The Express says: Yesterday after noon, about two o’clock a man named Isaac Wagner, employed in hauling ore for Jacob Scheuok, Geiger’s Furnace, was shot at Miller’s Tavern, on tho Willow street turnpike, about, three miles from Lancaster, by a woman named Catharine Wagner,' who claims to be his lawful wife. The particulars of this aflair, as we have bcem able to obtain them, after considerable inquiry, are substantially as follows: In the morning this woman appeared before Alderman Van Camp for the purpose of making complaint against Isaac Wagner, for bigamy and assault and- battery, staling that he had married her in. 1851 —Rev. Dr. Brainard, of Philapelphia, performing the ceremony, and she produced a certificate of marriage, duly authen ticated. She further stated that they had lived together three years, and that she had two chil dren by him, one of which is still living, about, seven years old, residing with Wagner’s father in Montgomery county, where they had lived after their marriage. Wagner lefrher, went.to. Lebanon and there married another woman with whom he lived some time, then left her, and is now living with a third woman near Quarryville. , - The complainant, according to her state ment, has been following Wagner iip, determin ed to have vengeance upon him. For some lime past she had been living as maid at a hotel near Philadelphia; from thence she went to Leba non, saw and conversed with Wagner’s second wife; .from Lebanon she came to this city, and then went down to where Wagner lives, near Quarryville. There an altercation ensued be tween them, and in her complaint she states that he struck and otherwise assaulted her, getting down on her body with his knees.. She then returned to Lancaster and made complaint as above stated. A warrant was issued and placed in the hands of officer Gormley, who proceeded to Quiger's Furnace, where he found the team which Wagner had been driving, but it seems that he had been apprized of what, was going on, and had left the team in charge of a friend, and proceeded out the pike to Miller’s tavern, where he awaited the arrival of the team. Officer Gormley would not -go further in search of the fugitive unless the woman would pay him $3 to indemnify him for expenses in curred. This she hesitated to do, and both># turned to the city. . The next we hear of Mrs. Wagner, she sud denly appeared before Isaoo while he was feed ing his horses, three miles from toWn., Some words passed between them, and as he turned to pass around the wagon, she fired, and shot him in the back. As he ran toward the house, the blood flowing profusely from the wound, she fired a second shot, which however did not take effect. She still followed him up, until he was taken into the house by those present, and the door was closed against the infuriated wo man, who brandished her revolver and declared she wqSlil shoot. the (list man who dared to interfere, with her. She then walked off out the turnpike, which , was the last r we heard of her —no one present venturing at that time to ar- rest her. ■. ■ ■ , ■ In the meantime, Wagner’s clothes- were re moved, when it was ascertained that the ball had. fairly entered his back, making a hole large enough for a, finger to-ehter, but, not withstanding the wound bled profusely, be started off on foot in search bf a physician to dress the wound, since, which time we have been unable to learn anything of his whereabouts or condition. - 11 Wagner denies that he was married to this woman, blit admits having lived with her for several mouths, seven pr eightyears ago. This declaration is contradicted by the. woman’s oath and the marriage certificate exhibited to •the alde'rman. When he received the ball in his back, he was not more than three or four yards distant from where the woman stood, and seems not to have suspected that she had a revolver until the shot came. There is astrong probability that the wound is more dangerous than he or those present supposed, and wo would not be surprised to hear of it .resulting fatally. Mrs. Wagner in Prison.—Since the above was written, we learn that Mrs. Wagner was committed -to prison last night, by Justice Hu ber, to answer the charge of shooting her hus band. What dobs it Indicate. —The forest trees have a heavier foliage than they have borne for many years.

The crop of our own State promises to be still greater, and superior in size and fla vor than' it has ever been. "The prices are also expected to be very low. The season has been exceedingly favorable for their growth, and those who take pride in exhibiting the finest berries, are sure to reap a rich reward. Humboldt’s Last Woeds. —The sun shone brilliantly into the room where Humboldt, died, and it is reported that his last words," addressed to his niece, were“ Wie herrlich dieae SlraK. ten; ate acheinen die Erde zum Ilimmel su ru/en! [How grand these rays: they seem to beckon Earth to Heaven!”] What expression could have been more characteristic, than this, of the great philosopher, whose whole life had been spent in the study of Nature, guided by an abl. ding faith in Nature’s 7 AsioNisHUiO.—ln giving an account of a “drofful fight,” a western paper says: “Jim Vort was shot through the left breast with a pis tol loaded with two balls and a brass watch chain i stabbed nine times in the abdomen; his throat cut from oar to ear, and bisbrains knock ed out with s iron bar.” The editor closes his description by stating that Vort died: Vort must have been a sickly person to have died ftom such trifles. The Odd Fellows’ block of buildings, at Dubuque, lowa, including the Post Office, Uni ted Land Office, Odd Follows and Masons’ Lodge rooihs, and the Peoples’ Theatre, with several stores and offices, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 26th ult. The contents of the Post and Land offices were saved, but all the property of the Odd Fellows and Masons was destroyed. The loss amounted to $50,- 000,on which there was an insurance of $lO,OOO. Mr. Boehamm’s Administration The Detroit Free Frees of the 19th ult., con-, tiling a well written .and comprehensive review of the policy and liicasurca of President Bucha nan’s Administration, showing that they are' entitled to the applause and approval of the Democratic party in the Union,.and summing them up as follows : » 1. TBif Administration has produced a settle ment of the Kansas question and established perfect order in that long distracted Territory. 2. It has put an end to the fillibustering ex peditions of Walker & Co. , 3. It. has put an end to the rebellion in Utah, and established order and peace in that Terri tory. ' ' .... 4. It has prosecuted the war against the hos tile Indians with redoubled force in Washington Territory, and compelled them to sue for peace on its own terms. 5. It has done the same in Oregon, and forced the Indians to relinquish hostilities and sue for peace. C. It has done the same in the war with the Indians in New Mexico, and in like manner compelled them to sue for peace. 7. It has made o uew and highly advantage ous commercial treaty with China. 8. It has made a new and advantageous treaty with Japan. , ' 9. It has obtained > most important diplo matic victory over England by extorting from her an abandonment of the long assumed right tosearchrAmerican vessels. - 10. It has established an overland mail to California and the Pacific coast. 11. It has admitted two new free. States into the Union, and thus secured a large extension of the field for “ free labor.” 12; It has sent a naval expedition to Para guay, and obtained an apology for insults to the American flag, indemnity for injuries re ceived, and grants of new commercial privileges and rights of navigation. ■ 13. It has paid off more than nine millions of public debt, at a time of pressure in the money , market and general embarrassment in the busi ness of the country that is without a parallel in Our history. ! 14. It has reduced the expenses of the govern ment from eighty-one millions to less than sev enty millions, and will soon have them* gradual-' ted to a scale of about, fifty millions. : 15. It is engaged in the negotiation of a treaty with England for the settlemenrof the difficul ties and, disputes that have arisen under the Clayton-Bulwcr treaty, with every prospect of. .success. 16. It isengggcdin the negotiation of a treaty with Nicaragua, for the right of transit of American citizens and property across the Isth mus, and for the payment of American clajros, with encouraging prospects of success. Such is the record. Now why is not this an Administration that the whole Democratic par ty of the Union can rally around and sustain and encourage ? Tins Black Man in Massachusetts.— The Boston: Courier, in lecturing Carl Shurz. the Wisconsin Geunan who went to Boston to set the Yankee Republicans right on political questions, thus enumerates the privi leges of the negro in the State of Massachu setts ; ■ “Here the colored man votes; here colored children and white children go to . the same schools; here the races are allowed to inter marry, and, as we have seen, do not fail to avtfil themselves of their privileges’. And there is nothipg in the laws of the State to prevent a colored man's serving off a jury if the subordi nate functionaries on whom the duty of select ing jurymen is devolved choose to put him there. The black man there stands oh a perfect equality with the white man, except that he cannot serve in the militia, and for this the United States are responsible, and not the State.” The white man, % if ; He be‘born in a foreign land, if Republicanism cari have its way, can not vote for two years after he is declared to be a citizen; he cannot.servc on the jury, but if bis adopted country demands his help, he must shoulder his musket the day he is naturalized, and peril his life and shed his blood in her de fence. .. . Phauoau’s Locusts.— The year 1859 is con sidered to be the locust year. Wo well remem ber their coming in 1833) at which time they hung from the branches of the trees in our pub lic squares like hpney bees, when “hiving.”— These singular insects came again in the year 1846, and there are, doubtless, many in our community who remember the ringing sound with which they made the public squares vocal. We think they made their appearance in the month of Juno. It is said they come every thirteen years. If this bo correct, we may shortly expect to see them among us. They appear to be harmless. They come suddenly, and take- their departure just as quickly.. Hon. Howell Conn’s Slaves.— lt is' stated that a firm at Macon, Georgia, lately sold the crop of cotton belonging to the slaves of Col. John B. Lamar and Hon. Howell Cobb for $3,- 969 71. This is all clear money to them; and it is further stated, that the same slaves sell sugar cane syrup, chickens and eggs, which amount’ to at least ono-half as much more. Not year Sumptuous.— The allowance for the keep of French soldiers is six sous for two meals a day. French soldiers in garrjson'have, every day of their lives, .two basins of soup, with the strings in it which they call moat, and perhaps a few bits of onion or vegetable, byway of giving a flavor; besides this, each man has 1J of coarse -bread., When on service they have a little wine; but otherwise, except on grand occasions,such as reviews, they have hone, nor any spirits, beer or coffee. 05” Grasahoppera havo again made their ap pearance in Bucks county, Pa., and promise to be very annoying, if not destructive, the coming summer. In Upper Makofleld and Hilltbn townships, they have attacked the young corn, and, in some instances, the tops of the potatoes, and it is feared, from these demonstrations, that they are going to be froublesume. A Webstkhun Gem.—Tho following beau tiful gem, taken from one of Webster’s speeches, should be printed in large and bold type, on thick card paper, neatly framed, and placed upon the walls of every school bouse in the land, to shed forth a light on the teacher’s path way, encouraging him to press on in the im perishable work in which be is engaged : •* If we work on marble, it will perish; if we work on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust. But if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with just fear of God and their fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, but which will brighten to all eternity.” , IC7” Miss Judson, who eloped from Pontiac, Mich., wit# a negro, and married him, to the great disgust of all her friends,' is to be render ed still more notorious. The whole story is to bo dramatized, and will shortly bo produced at the Metropolitan Theatre, Detroit.
