_chairman, Thomas Lloyd, Esq., who was one
of Mr. Ltnehatan's fellow soldiers in Llie war
of ISI2, received Mr. B. at lion-do's hotel,
in Lanci:,sler. Mr. Lloyd, in addressing the
distinguished statesman, said:
?tr. Buchanan: Since the announcement
cf your return to this country, the citizens
of Columbia have felt very anxious to give
you a hearty welcome, nut only as a La n
'easter county man. but as a statesman of
the nation—one whom we admire and re- I
L-veet—whom we count as one of the might
iest among the living. I faring heard of
your anticipated NiAt to Wallington city,
the people of Columbia, without distinction
of party, in town meeting, appointed a coin
mittee to meet you here and escort you to
our town—them to be received by another
committee who will take the same pleasure
in offering you friendly greeting that is now
afforded to us by your presence. On behalf
.tkon, of the citizens of our toxn, we tender
you a warm and earnest welcome.
irt. Buchanan, in reply, stated that be
tended to him in every place he had been
Aince his return, and that fur his fellow-cit
zens of Columbia, many of whom he-had
known for years, ha had an attachment as
an old friend and neighbor, that nothing
,could destroy. Ito was happy to know , that
lie was welcomed in such a generous manner
to Columbia, and would assure the commit
tee that every feeling of friendship felt by
those represented, he fully reciprocated.-
Idr. Buchanan continued his remarks, and
appeared to feel C . % ery word he said. llis
tenerable appearance and kind manner,
Ecemect to inipmss all who heard him.
Upon his arrival here, be was met by the
committee of reception, and a crowd of eiti-
zens who WWI Ca /11111 with hearty congrat
ttla.tLas. A procession then (Ne,,rted him to
the Old Fellow's 11,:11, where Hugh
North, Esq., addressed idin:

your public vertices entitle you to the grati

"You know many of our people: they all

Fur these alone the wield would Uhl yowl

language of Henry Clay "contains all that

Fez your zeal ant? devotion to the inter-
PSIS and prosperity of the -.chide people, It C
have long been accustomed to look upon you
as the, ''uoblest Itoinan" of the Republic.
Pennsylvania is proud to acknowledge
you ms her “favorite son," and although she
long ago handed you over to the nation us a
full clan, she knows and feels that
that your heart throbs with pride and
pleasure at her prosperity, and her proud
position among tho States of the confederacy.
She delights to honor you because you
have steadily and firmly sanctioned and sup
ported, and exerted your influence in the
councils of the nation; fur the policy which
has developed her rich mineral rcscources:
bunt up her cities and her tcwn , ; multiplied
manufactories; mole homes and afforded
employment, fcr her mechanics and laboring
men; given the State an impetus that will

sure market for the agricultural products of '
the country and secured the largest reward
to honest toil.
We congratulate you upon your arrival at
rams in good health—we welcome yon to
the hospitalities of our town, and hope you
may enjoy a safe and pleasant journey to
the capital of the country.
Mr. North's remarks were received with
much pleasure by the crowd., and he was
frequently applauded heartily. Mr. Bu
chanan replied substantially as follows:
That he bud known Columbia for fifty
years—then it .Was a very small place, and
was known as "Wright's Ferry." Ile could
remeinber when he crossed the river in a
small boat before the Columbia bridge was
erected, and then the very beautiful and
now large town wa; a village with few
houses. Now, it is a beautiful and
I commercial town, and contains a population
distinguished for industry and energy.
fie referred feelingly to the terrible visi
tation of cholera in 1:45-I, which made the
people leave the town. Ire said, upon the
arrival of every steamer in England lie anx
iously directed his first glance at the news
from this spot, and how his hopes were ear
nest that the Almighty Power, who rules
and controls, would stay his hand. (Mr.
B. spoke very beautifully on this subject and
appeared to be deeply atfeeted.)
lie eulogized our republican institutions,
and spoke of the fear they inspired in the I
despots of Europe; he set forth the blessings
and advantages of preserving the integrity
of the union, and said our own people ap
preciate it smog when t isiting the countries
of the Old World, and though he had been
a strong party man, he knew no party when
out of the country, and spoke of this as a
characteristic of Americans. He said—we
leave those at home to tight party battles.—
When away we are all one.
We regret that we cannot give Mr. En
chanan's speech entire. It was worthy of
au inimical' Statesman, and of the man
who delivered it.
Upon the conclusion of his address he was
escorted by the committees, and a largo
number of citizens, to the Washington Ilense ,
where mine host, (Jul. Herr, had an ample
aml generous Ward provided. (The cotm it; tt ec
were derelict in not publishing a nt.te of
thanks to him, his estimable lady, and his very
gentlemanly and obliging assistant, Samuel
Robinson, Esq., who all exerted themselves
to their utmost, to make all pass off well—
and they were successful.)
After dinner, Mr. Buchanan, escorted by
our committees, and those from Wrights
ville, York and Baltimore, left for Washing
ton. A large crowd of our citizens escorted
him to the ears, arid every manifestation of
appreciation was rendered to him that could
not but be flattering to one who is recog
nized everywhere as the "favorite Sun of
Pennsylvania." '
lis reception, in the different places he
passed through, en route, ttr Washington,
was 1, cry cordial and every mark of welcome
was extended to him.

THE Sr. LAWRENCE 110TEI.:—WO had oc
casion to visit Philadelphia a few days ego,
and upon the advice of a friend we deposited
our satchel at the St. Lawrence. We do'nt
carry much haggstge—editors seldom do,
owing to a weakiness they have. However,
our physiognomy must have impressed the
gentlemanly proprietor, WILLIAM S. Cslte
nw„ Esq., favorably, for we received every
attention front him and his polite assistants,
and we do not hesitate to say that in ourexpe
rience of hotel life in Philadelphia—and we
have stopped at several establishments of
the (diameter in our time—we regard the
ISt. La wrence as a model. Although but
I recently started, it has won the position of
r. first class hotel and see take pleasure in
recommending, our to try it. The
,ituation is a tcry convenient one for busi
110q4 or pleasure, and we know all who de
light in a quiet home, will find this estab
lishment up to their expectations. Its loca
tion ran be a,eertuined by reference to our
ads ertisi ng.
COLUM MA r , i , k: . : CFACTI7III7ka: CoMPANY.—In
pursuance of a notice in the Nry of last
week, a nombor of the stockholders of the
Columbia Manufaeturing Company, met in
the Town Ilall, in order to determine what
action should be taken upon the charter,
granted by the last Legislature, embracing
the indiNitioal liability elause. The ineot
ing was ealltil to artier and Isatte Pau ar
pointed Chairman. Several of the Stock
holders expres , ttrd their tiews upon the rub
ject: some being favorable to liftng the ehar-
•cr and opening hooks for the subscription
of stock:int - der ttP present prorisious in or
der that arrangement: might be made for
entering into the hairless at once, without
any further delay. Others, not wishing to
beettme individually responsible for the
debts of the company, proposed that the
matter 'ay in Cr Iliad the meeting of the
i next I.egiAat um at which thne,they thought,
the oljectionable clause would is all proba
bility lie stricken off'.
Withouteeming to any definite conclusion,
it was proposed to adjourn until next Tues
day mooing, May 20th, to meet at the Tuwn
Hall, in order to give time for further con
sideration. All who are interested will
please bear this meeting in mind.
Tun. CONVLIZT.-Mr. and Mrs. John
Cooper Vail, agreeably to former announce
ment, gave a literary concert, in the Odd
Fellow's Ilall, on Wednesday evenitvg last.
The audience was a very re-pectable and
appreciating, one, and the performers must
have been gratified with their cordial recep
tion at their first appearance in Columbia.
Mrs. Vail has a remarkably good voice
which only needs more cultivation to give
her an eminent position as a vocalist, and
Mr. Vail in his delineations of celebrated
characters, succeeded admirably to the sat
i•faction of all who heard them. We regret
that Mr. 'Keifer, of Lancaster, was unable
to take his part, but his place was well filled
by a young gentleman of the same city, who
played a solo on the violin which met with
much favor. Altogether, the concert was
`sang
agreeable entertainment, and Mrs. Vail
sang 7ery sweetly.
SarWe call attention to the card of Mr.
4"Amns B. HOLLINS in to-days, paper, and ask
those of our merchants who deal in articles
of his line, to do themselves justice by look
ing through his stock upon - their next visit
to Philadelphia. We have known him long
and well and have in days past, bought goods
of him: at iates we ct.usidered "lower than
to be obtainecrelsewhere." We really think
it would be to the interest of all who buy
queensware to give Mr. Mum a call, as
lie sells a little cheaper than any body else.
LV3lBElL—Although a great number of
rafts havo conic down, but few stop here.
The demand at this place has not been
near. so great as that of last season,
owing most probably to the supplies on
hand. The prices are hard to ascertain;
our answer, on enquiry, generally being
—"well about the same as last year, except
callings," which rate at $2,00 per M. feet
less. We d) not desire to pick a quarrel
with those who deal in the growth of the
forests, but as caterers for the public, we
like to find out things and "takin' notes,
print eat" for the edification of others. Our
own private opinion is that the rates for the
better qualities are not so high as lust year
and that buyers are slow. We believe that,
"all round," lumber is lower by a good deal
than quoted prices—fur the simple reason
' that many are buying who would not, with
their yards full as they are, invest so freely
if they did not receive liberal bargains.
This view of the lumber market may be re
ceived, not as official,. but as "our private
opinion publicly expressed."
Sr.siinixa A rr.t n.--Jamcs 'Mel fenry was
stabbed on Monday evening last, by Henry
Fisher. jr., both citizens of this place. The
evidence as given at the examination before
Esquire Evans, was to the effect that Mal.
and Fisher were returning in the cars from
Lancaster, where they had been spending
Whit-Monday, when a war of words was
commenced. between them, on account of
some member of the fair sex, who was in the
car at the time. Several persons in the cur
interfered , to prevent a fight, when Fisher
drew his knife and stabbed McHenry in the
abdomen. The latter, we understand, Suf
fers \ cry much front his wound. Fisher was
bound over in the sum of :.;;500 for his ap
pearance at court. Until further investiga
tion we have no comments to make.
LITERARY NOTICES
'We are glad to know that Peterson,
the enterprising Philadelphia publisher, has
in press and will have for sale by the first
of June, a work by Mrs. Caroline Lee Bents,
entitled, "Limlo—or the Young Pilot of the
Belle Creole." This will be a republication;
yet this fact should not injure its sale. We
read it several years ego and believe it the
best story Mrs. Rentz ever wrote. It was
the first novel of hers that we ever perused,
and though she has been called away to
eternity, we think the "good lives after her,"
and believing so, and that there is much
, , .
may glance at this notice.
Xter-The June number of 17ofIcy's Lady's
Book is calculated, we think, to make the
ladies like* it better than ever. Of course
they all take it, and any recommendation of
ours may seem out of place; we cannot,
hoverer, help saying that the colored fash
ion plate in this number is superb—the best
thing of the kind AV e have ever seen. The
literary contents sustain its well established
reputation, and altogether the June number
is a first rate one.
X.S..The United Stales Magazine. (J. M.
Emerson, No. 1, Spruce street, N. Y., $l,OO
per anuum,) is undoubtedly one of the cheap
est and best publications of the kind in the
world. The publisher intends making al
tcrations in the form of its issue with the
neat number, and we trust he will receive
ample remuneration. The grand object of
this work is the Popnlarizing eg . ,Wiener
among the. //MISC., of die people, and judging
by the past, it will be successful. This
magazine is no catchpenny affair but a bona
• lids useful family book, the perusal of which
will be of benefit to parents and children—
to every member of the household. 'We do
not say this lightly, but after a close ac
quaintance with it since its advent, We
sincerely trust it will receive the encourage
ment of emery one interested in the literary
and scientific prosperity of our country.
ACKVOWLEDGEREST OF TUE WALKER Goy-
E de.inutch from Washington
announces that Secretary Marcy has ac
knowledged the • Government of General
Walker in Nicaragua, by receiving his Min
ister, Padre Vijil, who 6hortly afterwards
presented his credentials to the President,
and was received with all the honors, as the
representative of one of the recognized na
tions of the world.
RESCUE OF THE FOLli. BURIED MEN.—The
four persons who have Wen buried for a
fortnight in the Coal banks at Blue Rock,
Musk county, Ohio, were got out alive on
Saturday last. A correspondent of the Co
lumbus Statesman says:
"Some six hundred people remained till
one o'clock yesterday morning, when the
rescued were brought out to the crowd, with
their faces covered, and their bodies very
much exhausted and emaciated. Their
families were not permitted immediately to
meet them, and everything done to make
sure of the results of the long labor, viz: the
preservation of their lives. Pierson the old
est man, had a fluttering at the heart; the
others seemed to be "as well as could be ex
pected." Their faces were covered to pro
tect their eyes, The boy, Savage, it is said,
made enquiry the first thing, after a "chew
of tobacco:" the rest after their families and
friends. They hail taken borne sleep on
some dry dirt which they had piled up for
that purpose, but had no idea of the time
that had elapsed."
The only food they have had during their
whole imprisonment was the dinner pro
vided for two men. The workmen had bur
rowed through four hundred feet of rock and
earth. The men were rescued at a point
I seven hundred feet distant from the entrance
to the mine.

IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
CIIEAP SANATSRY SCIISTANCES.—It will no
doubt be 'very useful information to many
persons during the coining hot weather to
be told what are:the Lest substances {,r re--
moving offensive i odors from sinks, &e. Cop
peras, or sulphate of iron, is a very excel
lent substance for slushing drains and sinks.
By dissolving luilf a pound of it in a pail of
hot water, and throwing it into a sink once
per week, it will keep down all offensive
odor; and from the situations of many
houses in all war t :cities it would greatly tend
to health and pleasure for the inhabitants of
each to do this. The chloride of lime or the
chloride of zinc will answer just as well, but
these are expensive substances in compari
son with copperas (sulphate of iron.) Lime
is also very useful. and is no doubt a cheap
deodorizer, butl it is not a very good one:
copperas, therefore, is preferable to all these
substances. But there is another substance
which is far superior to either copperas, the
chloride of Hind or zinc as a deodorizer, both
as it respects its qualities and economy; we
1 mean charcoal powder—made of ground
I wood charcoal.; Charcoal powder possesses
the quality of labsorbing ammoniacal, sul
phuretted hydrkgen and carbonic acid gasses
1 in superior degree to any other substance.
Inaced in the vicinity-, or spread among de
caying animallor vegetable matters, it ab
sorbs all the-offonsixo and hurtful gasses,
and keeps the gr sweet and wholesGme.

.TExriv T.lsn ANn Thtrukant—A letter has
been going the rounds of the newspaper
press purporting to be from Jenny Lind
Goldsmidt, sympathising with Mr. Barnum ,
and attributing to him the entire credit of
the concerts given by her for charitable pur
poses when fu this country, and otherwise
puffing Mr. Barnum very extensively. We
questioned the authenticity of the letter on
its first appearance and on that ground de
' dined its publication. These suspicions arc
now confirmed, Mr. Barnum himself stating
that the letter is a forgery and could not
have emanated from Mrs. Coldsmidt.
INUNDATION' IN MISSISSIPPI: Accounts
from the interior of the State of Mississippi
inform us that the water courses are all
swollen to an unprecedented height, flooding
the lowlands, sweeping away fences, bridg
es, &c., in their progress, and submerging
the young crops of cotton and corn. At the
town of Enterprise, the Chickasaha river
had risen 561 feet, overflowing its banks
and covering the roads to the depth of eight
feet. This is the greatest rise ever known
there. On the Mobile and Ohio railroad a
train of three cars going South from Swan,
ran off the track from the undermining of
the approach to Okatabba bridge. The
trackmaster, who was enjoying a ride on
the cow-catcher, was thrown into the stream,
but escaped by swimming. A few other
slight breaches in the railway had also been
made.
Tun POSITION OF - THE COSTA RICANS.—A
correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune,
writing from Costillo, gives the particulars
of the battle of Rivas, and states that Gen
eral Walker was induced to leave the place,
and fall back On Granada, in consequence
of being nearly out of ammunition. The
Costa Ricans immediately re-occupied Rivas
which they commenced fortifying anew
They are said to be well armed and officered,
the latter being principally English and
Germans. Their arms, or such as have been
taken, appear to be of English manufacture,
and the prisoners state that nearly all their
arms and ammunition have been furnished
by English agents, through whom they are
constantly supplied. They have possession.

RIDE ON AN ELEPHANT
Bayard Taylor, in his book of Eastern
travels, just issued, gives his first elephant
riding experience as follows:
The 'Rajah had kept his promise, and his
big she elephant had already arrived. She
knelt at the keepers command, and a small
bidder was placed against her side, that I
might climb upon the pad, as I had ton
unable to borrow a howdah. I had a pack
age of bread and cold roast beef, to servo
me as a Willi, but was careful to conceal it
from the driver: otherwise himself and the
elephant, with all her trappings, must have
undergone purification on account of the un
clean flesh. I took a reluctant leave of Mr.
Keene, seated myself astride of the pad, with I
the driver before me on the elephant's neck,
and we moved off. The driver was a Sikh,
in a clean white and scarlet dress, and a
narrow handkerchief bound around his head.
His long well-combed hair was annointed
with butter, and, as his head was just under
my nose, I was continually regaled with the
nnctuous odors. Ile carried a short iron
spike with which.lic occasionally punched
the elephant's head, causing her to snort and
throw up her trunk, as she quickened her l i
pace. 1 found the motion very like that of
a large dromedary. and by no means un
pleasant or fatiguing. Though walking, She
went at the rate of about five miles an hour.
I noticed that the driver frequently spoite to
her, in a quiet, conversational tone, making
remarks about the roads and advising her
how to proceed—all of which she seemed to
understand perfectly, and obeyed without
hesitation.
Form DROWNED. — The body of a young
man, apparently about twenty-two years of
age, was found floating in the Susquehanna
river, opposite this borough, on Monday
evening last, and brought to the York county
shore, where an inquest was held on it by
Justice llruner, of Columbia. From what
information the inquest was able to obtain,
it was supposed to be the body of Washing-
ton Zook, or better known perhaps as Wash.
Mathias, who, with another young person,
were drowned on the 20th ult., at York
Haven, in this county. by the upsetting of
a skiff in Conewago Falls. There were three
persons in the skiff at the time, one of whom
was rescued, the other two drowned; only
one of the bodies of which has yet been
found. The deceased was clothed in a red
flannel shirt, ornamented on the breast with
stars, heart and buttons; pantaloons of
striped cassinett, coarse boots, and a nearly
new black Italian cravat round his peck.—
' He had on his person 52 cents in money,
and two pocket knives, but no mark by
which to identify him. The verdict of the
Jury was "accidentally drowned."—York

A WHALEMAN AMONG ARABS.
The whaling brig Lewis Bruce,of Orleans,
Capt. Ryder, arrived at Boston on the 7th
inst., from the coast of Africa, where she
has been cruising for several months in
search of whales. She brought home 310
barrels of oil and 25,000 lbs, of bone. The
whalemen during their voyage were often iu
the vicinity of the wandering Arabs, who
frequently came down to the coast from the
Great Desert. Capt. Ryder was once cap
tured by them while on shore, and they at
tempted to get him on a camel and carry
him off alive; but the captain was too cour
ageous to be thus made a slave of, and he
manfully resisted, when the savages shot
him in the legs to cripple him, and he in
turn shot one of the Arabs dead. Fortun
ately at this juncture he was saved by other
whalemen coining to the rescue, who drove
the Arabs olf and carried the wounded man
to his vessel. Capt. Ryder recovered from
his wounds and came home in command of
his vessel. There were about a dozen wha
ling vessels on the coast, and the seamen
had carried on considerable trading with
the natives, who are repr.Qented as being
exceedingly treacherous. The men while
on shore always went in company and were
well armed.
PASCHALL'S FEVER AND AGUE MIXTURE.
Some weeks ago we called attention to the
announcement of this remedy for Chills and
Fever, and kindred diseases, on the strength
of the knowledge we possessed of the stand-
its Proprietor, and the very unusually re
spectable certificates of its value which
were given in its-favor. We felt that neither I
that gentleman nor men of such high liter
ary and} social standing as Mr. G. P. R.
James, the Author and British Consul, Cha's.
W. Morris, of the Safe Harbor Iron Works,
and others, would permit their names to be
used unwarrantably or in furtherance of
empirical ignorance, and pretension, and
we therefore ventured to recommend the ar
ticle somewhat warmly. Further informa
tion and the experience of this neighborhood,
serve only to strengthen our first impress
ions, and we feel constrained once more to
bear testimony in its favor. We are con
vinced that it is fully worthy of the patron
age of the public.
The advertisement of Mr. Morris will be
found in another column.
