POLITICAL
The National Republicans having, settled
their candidates,' the contest for the Presi
dency may be conbidered as having fairly
commenced.. It is well enough even for
neutral papers, to take an occasional obser
vation of the state of.afairs as they exist; to
throw a'careless glance over the troublous
seg.' of politics and state candidly their own
impressions as to coining events. •
In :the• line.rot.dnty then, we record the
nomination' by thellepublicans of Cot John
C. Freniont as President and William T.
Dayton, of New .Jersey, as "%I'm President.
Cul. Fremont is.a native of South Carolina
and -is about. forty years of age. Ills
achievements flit-a:pioneer iu the exploration
of the ItOcky Mountains, :kid the 'gallant
_hearing he exhibited during the conquest of
California. are' &initiar to the country. In
all the eircunistitncesinWhichhe was placed
during those exciting periods, his deport
ment was that of a brave, sagacious and
prudent - man; and whether on the trackless
'paths of the lonely snow-covered Sierra, or
amid the turmoils of the battle field, his
coolness and self possession never forsook
him. Calm; resolute and undismayed, he
met with similar fortitude the perils of star
vatioB in the ; wilderness, or death in the
fray; and displayed an equal capacity for
command or endurance. In his reports to
the Department on the subject of his expB
- Cul. Fremont has shown quick ob
servation, careful examination and wise
conclusions; and given evidence of superior
native intellect, diligently culthated by
stray, emnbined with a wide range of iufur
motion. During his brief term of service in
the United States senate, lie made a most
favorable impression on that body by his
modest demeanor and his statesmanlike
vier: and in his carious publications on
t.r..-pies of public concern, there are abundant
7mofs of enlarged and liberal opinion. In
reference to the slavery question, his posi
tion is identical with that which is rapidly
becoming the universal sentiment at the
Nurth, viz: no interference with the institu
tion where it exists under the sanction of
the Federal Constitution, but hostility to its
extension over soil which is now free.
Of Mr. Dayton we have but little knowl
edge; only knowing that he stands on the
same platform as Cot. Fremont, and that ho
received a-heavy majority, indh.o'Convention.

canvass is thus "narrowed down, it will, lie
hard to calculate on the issue. While the
friends of Mr. Buchanan are enthusiaitic
and confident, the Republicans and their
friends are growing as sanguine as needs
be, and are becoming more and. more dis
posed to meet their foes and fight fur the
soil inch by inch.
Many of the old line Whig papers have
not yet thrown out their banners, although
a tendency to wheel in, is becoming mani
fest. As the battle grows warmer they will
all take bides and we anticipate quite as
spirited, a political campaign as any we
have had for years. Whatever will be the

FROM CALIFORNIA.
The latest i_nteitigeuee from California is
somewhat exciting. Mr. King, editor of
the San Francisco Baklin, was murdered
by a gambler named Casey, in revenge fur
certain articles in the paper reflecting on
him. Mr. K. was shot in the public street,
by daylight, and survived but a short time.
The Old Vigilance Committee immediately
organized; a snob took possession of the jail
on Sunday, the 18th ult., and. at the time
the steamer left it was supposed both Casey
and the murderer Cora, who killed Mr.
Richardson, would be bung. The Vigilance
committee limo deglarca their intention to
drive the gamblers Ti:Sxri itha State.
In addition to the abote, the following
particulars of this melancholy act will be
read uith intere:A:
—Casey, who murdered Mr. King, was a
member of the 13oard of Supervisors, and
the editor of the Sunday Tithes. The at
tack of the Vigilance Committeo upon the
jail was male in military order, a force of
2,50 armed men surrounded the prison
with a brass eighteen pounder pointed at
the door: when all was ready for the assault,
the committee .nude a formal demand on
the Sheriff for the surrender of the jail. The
Sheriff was totally unprepared, and surren
dered hamediately, and the prisottors, Casey
nod Cora. were tekeu by the committee and
carriol to their head-quarters. As soon es the
death of Kin; was announced. the bells
were tolled, the stores closet', all business
suspended, and the fronts of the buil4ings
draped in tuoupting: Cora and Casey were
both tried before a revolutionary tribunal
of ttventv-talue jurors, and sentenced to be
hung. they were to be executed on the
day fallowing the funeral of fling,
The excitement had esteutki throughout
tlip Stuto, and thousands of armed men
were ready to hasten to the assistance of the
eletiemsts in the city.

TEE!. GAP GII*A.WS,-It Ino*:t in
thiicounty andihronghont % the State, that a
regularly organized band 0: villains under
thorname of the: "Gap Ost:tlaws(i.f,...;has Pang

quea Valley. 41`heir celebrity . has not, how
ever, heiziconfin - iid . ,to sitate - VtAz..ti 3 Oftec-i
tionf=blay are - katWii over the 41 — ot coun
try, and have their different &Aliens and-de
pots throughout the union. The leader of
the gang is an Old man ab9ut seventy , --a
smooth, sleek-tongued rascal, who is as slip
pery as an eel, who has grown old \ in wick
edness and crime, and whose Idstory, could
it be written, would present a greater vari
ety and generally successful practice of vil
lainy than the records of the most notoriona
"lives of criminals" that have ever been
published. For over forty years has he had
the reputation of being prime mover and in
stigator in every act of lawlessness-and in
famy in the county; of being an adept in
crime—a perfect "prinee_of devils"—prime
imp of Satan and agent of the powers of
.darkness. Assisted by aids who do jus
tice to their commander, he has long held
the neighborhood of the Gap under subjec
tion. If one attempted to have any of his band
answer the powers that be, for some crimi
nal act, anonymous letters threatening the
burning of their property and deaikwere
received by the prosecutors almost immedi
ately, and when arson was threatened it
was almost invariably followed by the real
ity. Their depredations have not been con
fined to a single crime; they stole everything
from the copper on a dead Man's eyes to the
most valuable silver plate, horses, &e.—
Counterfeiting they carried on extensively,
manufacturing money to meet their dern4uds.
Barn-burning, poisoning animals or injuring
them so as to render it merciful to kill them,
&c., have been the frequent acts of the
Gap outlaws. When brought into court which
was very rarely, they could prove alibi at
sight, and perjury was among their least
crimes.
We are happy to believe that a process of
extermination has been at last commenced
against this infamous band, which is likely
to result in its breaking up. Several of the
ring -leaders, Bill Bear, young Clemson and
others arc now in the hands of justice, and
we trust it will be meted to them in full.—
The cause of these arrests, was the stealing of
two valuable horses from Jacob Sheeler, of
Warwick township, Chester county, some
two or three weeks ago. The neighborhood
was aroused and suspicion was directed to
wards.thc Gap. Upon the arrival of the
pursuing party in that neighborhood, the
citizens of Penningtonville, Christiana, and
the surrounding country, joined in an en
deavor to arrest the thieves,•and followc
them to Baltimore and Washington. Thei
efforts were fruitless, but we have heard du
the horses have been recovered and are
the hands of the officers of Washington cit:
Among the gang arrested is a man nanu
v Z
~'na~SS~Etoey hi
led to the discovery of caves, metal for cow
torfeiting, goods of all kinds, &e., evidenel
the guilt of many usually thought to bolo,
to the "Gap outlaws," as well as several
spot:table men in the vicinity who 'haw
never been suspected of • connection with
then. We trust the officers will - will - perform
their full duty, and not iltop until qiciy
man, no difference whatt r his station, who
has had any lot or part in this matter, is
brought to answer at the bar of justice.—
The Gap gang has long been a reproach to
Lancaster county; it has been a terror to
many honest people, and it is high time
these disgraceful and criminal, outlaws
should suffer.
Lem: ocr, TITIEVES.—We direct the atten
tion of all those who assist in maintaining
themselves and their families by stealing, to
the advertisement of the iron-masters in this
vicinity, as published in to-dayla.paplw, and
advise that to take the hint and not take
more scrap iron. It is said that a few mer
chants who claim respectability, employ
children and grown up men to steal scraps
for, them at reasonable commissions, and
thereby become the recipients of stolen .
goods. Extensive - quantities—whole pigs—
bars of iron, &c., &c., have been traced to
stores in the neighborhood, whose owners
' are noted for sanctity, morality and proud
' nent positions in the reforms of the day.—
So
says a correspondent, who is looking up
this matter. Should this state of things
continuo, there will be furtherdevelo pements.
In the mean time those engaged iu this trade
had better glance at the advertisement, and if
they cannot discern profit at first sight, upon
its re-perusal they will not, we trust, accuse
us of not giving them due notice of some
; thing to be made in the way of keeping up
their reputations.
PLANK ROAD TO THE CEWETERY.-A pro
ject is ()afoot to make a plank road to the
cemetery, and we are glad to know funds
are nearly all ruined. J. G. Hess, Esq., is
the originator of the enterprise, and ho de
serves the thanks of the community. We
trust this improvement will lead to others,
in the cemetery grounds; such as beautify
and make pleasant the last resting place on
earth of those who have preceded us to
"that bourne from whence no traveller re
turns." A measurement of the distance to
the cemetery has been made, and the prelim
inaries so settled as to warrant us in saying
the project will go forward to completion.
A MAN SnoT.--1. black man by the name
of Peter Hall, said to be connected with
Bear, one of the Gap desperadoes, was shot
recently in Lli,imus!er county, at a pointnear
the compass tavern in this county, by a
white man named .4.braham Dolby. Dolby
keeps a kind of a groggery, and Hall passed
on him a counterfeit gold dollar in payment
for liquor. After Dolby discovered tho
de
ception he went to Hall and demanded that
that he should redeem the base coin, but
Hall refused saying that he had a grudge
against Dolby. Dolby brought out his gun
and toil the negro ho would shoot him if he
did not give him good money. The black
fellow still refused, and Dolby shot him,
wounding him very seriously.

CONTiIkET OF COURT
An unpleasantsoecurrenee took place in

It appears that Mi. Pennypacker came in
while Mr. rßittliagtoh was addresing: the
Court, and after 4. word to Mr. D., asking
him to suspend his remarks' while he offered
a paper for confirmation.. Mr. P. presented
the paper. Judie Baines glanced at it and
said to Mr. Darlington, "proceed with the
argument." Mr.:P. then said, there is a
person waiting tolare this attended to—the
Judge remarked Ilritb greater emphasis, "A°
on, Mr. D., with the argument"—Mr. P.
reached fur the paper which he bad lain
upon the bench, when the Judge said, let it
alone, it will be-attended to after a while.—
Whereupon Mr.l said to the Judge,' "you
need'nt get peer' h about it." "Sir?" said
the Judge, and 111 r. P. repeated it. The
Judge then, add.ressing the Clerk, said,
":Mr..Parker, enter a rule on U. V. Penny
packer a member of this Bar, to show cause
why he should no be punished for contempt
of Court, returnable to-morrow morning at

he was fined fifty dollars and costs.

The New Orleans School of Medicine
is the first instance known to us of the ex
tension of the public school system to the
study of Medicine in all its branches. In
this institution it seems that the usual pro
fessorial system is invaded, and the system
of instruction - made more to accord with the
ordinary methods of imparting knowledge
in respectable educational establishments.
Every branch, including clinical teaching
and dissections, is nevertheless embraCed in
the school course, and that important section
' on the diseases of women and childien made
distinct from obstretics, with which it is
commonly associated.. A museum has been
ordered from Europe, and in Materia Medi
cs a full and very eonaplete set of artiCleS,
specimens of plants, &c., has been collected.
The College building is situated in Common
street, directly opposite the Charity Hospi
tal, a location obviously convenient.
ESCAPE or PRISONERS IN MENICO.—John
A. Cullen;of Virginia, and E. J. Wilson, of
Kentucky, two of the passengers of the
barque Archibald Gracie, seized some six
months ago at La. Paz, Mexico, as a fillibus
ter, have arr Wed at New Orleans. All on
board the barque were thrown into prison,
and have ever since been confined. Re
cently, however, six of them made their
escape, and the two referred to allege that,
after travelling a d r on r y journey on foot of
some . 1500 miles through Mexicb, they
reached Vera Cruz, and there embarked for
New Orleans. They describe their treat
ment and that of their comrades •in prison
as heartless and inhuman, and complain
bitterly of the indifference of our govern
ment to their fate.

TESTIMONIAL TO Mg. SCIINETC.-A discus

form which the proposed testimonial to.Mr:
Stunner shall tale. Services of plate are
voted too common, and there appears to be
a disposition to procure the Senator's statue
and give it a prominent position in one of

ancient "State of Denmark," it appears, by
the late arrivals, is thinking about enforcing
the sound dues. Having heard that Ameri
can ships of war were about to take port or
cruise in Danish waters, that government is
actively fitting up her little navy, to be
ready for anything. The narrowest part of
the sound is to be commanded by the guns
of a man-of-war. It will not amount to
much, however, as such obsolete import du
ties will not long be submitted to.
Da... Ex-President Fillmore was to sail

NEBUCILADXSZZAIL:—It is stated in the
London alt/as, that Colonel Rewlinson has
lately discovered in a. state of perfect pre
servation, Whit is .lielieved tO be themnmtny
of Nebuchadnezzar. Tho face of the rebel
lious monarch of Babylon, covered by one of
those gold masks usually found in Assyrian
tombs, is described as very handsome—the
forehead high and commanding, the features
marked and regular. A post-mortem exam
ination
has been made and the stomach
found full of grass.
. novel mode of curing intemperance
is soon to be tested in New York. An Asp:
lum for inebriates is about to go ints opera
tion in that city, under the auspices of Dr.
J. W. Turner. A charter has been obtained
from the Legislature, by which the "United
States Inebriate Asylum" is authorized,
with a capital of $50,000, and poWer to'in
crease it to $200,000. The principle on
Which the institution is to be conducted, is
that intemperance is a disease, and should
be treated as such.

A correspondent of the New Y-orlc , r4wie
presents a doleful pictureof the einiditiiii;f
Walker's forces in - ‘ - Nicfiregua. He -
that Walker has a force of about eight h
._
dred men, living 'almost 4ollyon riee
..
..
tortelia, destitute of:the , "- ° 3l4periupplieeitf
clothing, receiving :no pay, — but iiecup '• • g
the dwellings of the L zecpti ' . 5
them. The men ae — enerallyed,,
and this feeling extends even to •- - •_, .-
officers, some of whom are concerting meas
ures with other parties to supersede Walker:
Many of the officers would leave, but they
dislike the appearance of desertion. Walker
arrogates to himself all power and.a.uthority
and his despotism is extreme. Rivas, the,
nominal President, is" a mere tool, and, in
fact, is not at all inforrned,lta-to the purpo
ses of Walker. The means of exit; both by
the Atlantic and Pacific, are carefully guard
ed, so that no one can leave without the per
mission .of Walker. Thus the unhappy
men who once get there must stay. The ex
piration of a term of service makes no mat
ter, there being no greater freedom after
than before it. Officers who resign Their com
missions are forced into the ranks. No one is
allowed totalk of government affairs, either
forpragainst,undersevere penalties. Agreat
many of the passengers from New York, on
the first trip of the steamer Orizaba, were
conveyed to Granada and compelled to join
the army. Walker's men take, without hesi
tation, whatever property they or theauthop.'
ities may reqUire, no matter to whom it may
belong.
° Government paper is offered in pay,
which is valueless. Correspondeilts of news
papers published in the United States, dare
not write the truth. Sickness has prevailed
among Walker's army to such an extent,
that five-hundred of his men must have died
during the year which he has occnpied the
country. The disaffection is well known to
Walker, and after his return from the fight
at Rivas, be was so much afraid of it that
he appointed a body-guard.
A BUSHEL OF GOLD Dowats.—One of the
honest *Lys of turning a penny up about the
Gap, is by passing counterfcitnioney. Coun
terfeit notes and coin passed in the upper
part of Chester and lower part of Lancaster
counties can generally be traced to the
neighborhood of the Gap, and there the trail
is lost. It is said there is a whole bushel of
counterfeit gold dollars buried at a certain
point in the Gap hills, and that they are to
forthcoming one of these days.-IV. C. Repub.

Var. on the 18th inst. with Liverpool dates
to the 7th. It is represented that there we
much talk concerning the American difficul

ticipated. The dismissal of Cranipton, was
spoken of as sure to take place but the an
nouncement scarcely effected the funds.—

skirHolloway's Ointment and Pills, an un
failing Remedy for Scrofulous Sores.—The
eldest son of Anthony Barnet, aged 14, of
Galveston, Texas, was an awful sufferer
with scrofulous sores on his limbs. The pa.
rents took him to several doctors, and did
all in their power to alleviate him, but he
only became worse. A sister of Mr. Barnet,
who had been cured of a lmd leg by Hol
loway's Ointment and Pills, took the child
under her protection, stating she would try
what effect a few weeks residence with her
would do. No sooner had she got him at her
own house, than she tried Holloway's Oint
ment and Pills; they soon caused an im
proved appearance in the child, and after
using them about ten weeks, every symptom
of his disorder had vanished like snow be
fore the sun,—such is the power of these
wonderful remedies!! They will also cure
all disorders of the skin.
