wishes fur his continued prospetity.
.Our acknowledgements ate constantly due
to Hun. 4.. E. Roberts, of 'Washington, fur
keeping us cell supplied with pub. doe's.
- His attention Anti kindness in these 'patters
are duly esteemed.
To the gentleman who IQ tt. 1:1,1 o C4ifornia

thanks. Containing, as they ilo, the full
.ke'ports of the doings of the Vigilance Coin
niittee, in that state, their contents are par
ticularly interesting.
POMTICS
-The state of affairs in the political world,
.P 3 becoming mere and inure exciting, as the
days pass by. Wars and rumors of n - hrs
are heralded forth, and even the most piffle
oUstrver is occasionally drawn into
an argument as to the fitness of some par
.riculo.r candidate fur the occupancy of the
Presidential chair. There is no subject of
.'.l:ldlWion before the people at this time
that leads to more strenuous efforts for the
satisfaction of the opposition, under the
"stern sense of duty and the desire to test the
pissiiiility of a man being convinced against
his will. The different candidates are stren
uously supported by their adherents, and
every one seems sanguine that his favorite
will win the race. In this hot weather we
advise every on to keep cool as they can.
Pomebody will be elected who will save the
country; and whoever he may be, we are as
sured by the past experience in political
agitations, that he will be sustained by a
majority of the people: Let the result be
rhiat it may, our bright land, under the
blessing of God, will continue to prosper.
E.DITOILLLL ,CoURTESIES.—A number of the
editorial friends of J. Lawrence Getz, Editor
of the Reading Gazelle, met him, upon the
invitation of Major F rests, of the Germantown
Telegraph, at the hospitable mansion of the
latter, /ast Saturday afternoon, upon which
occasion Mr. Getz was presented with a
handsome service of plate, by his editorial
brethren, for his successful effort in our
Smte Legislature, last winter, in procuring
a modification of the Libel Law. Major
Fleas did the honors, and entertained the
company with that princely hospitality for
which ho is noted. The meeting is said to
have been an extremely agreeable one.—

gerrln a discussion in Congress, a few
days since, Keitt, of South Carolina, pre
tended to desire to make an assault on Mr.
Hickman, of dila State, but was "held by
his friends." Mr. Hickman very coolly
waited for his approach. Keitt, no doubt,
was like the fighting men in this vicinity—
desirous to be held. The West Chester Re
pabliecin, printed at Mr Hickman's home,
and edited by an intimate friend of his,
says that "Mr. Keitt would have found him
self out of breath if he had not been re
strained by his friends." Southern . bully

WILL THEY PIO4P
It appears that Mr. Brooks of Bouth.Car
olina, challenged Mr. Burlingame who, ac
cepting. ?pi:Anted the place of meeting in
Canada. Mr. Brooks publishes a statement
wherein he says it would be at the Tick of
his life to go through the enemy's gnuntrY:
to meet him at the designated spot, And that
should be be successful in getting there and
killing Mr. Burlingame, he would not be suf
fered to raturn home alive:
Tird rhnior of this aittir got abroad in
Washington, and on Tuesday, Mr. Brooks
was arrested . and held to bail in $5,000 to
keep the peace.
Mr. Burlingi,tme. had in the meantime,
started fur Canada, and accomplished his
journey so far as Now York ; when he re
ech ed the intelligence that Mr. Brooks did
not intend to follow him. Re sent word im
mediately to Washington ; that he intended
forthwith to return. He KM answered to
pursue his journey to Canada, and await his
appointed time, but some of his friends an
ticipate his return. Meanwhile, the police
officers of that City are on the look out for
him, a warrant having been issued fur his
arrest.
On Thursday, Mr. Campbell published a
card in the Union, requesting a suspension
of public opinion in relation to the state
ment of Mr. Brooks, until Mr. Burlingame's
return to Washington.
It is presumed that this duel, in embryo,
will be "amicably arranged by the friends
of the parties," to the mutual satisfaction of
all concerned, as has been the ensd in nu
merous instances heretofore, The chivalry
of our Congressmen is Vronderful—it often
leadin" belli"erents to believe that
Ile w•ho fights. thrn runs away
live to ii;ltt :mother clay.
We du not anticipate any very serious re
sults from this anticipated duel, being firmly
convinced that one of the parties is "afraid
and t'other darsent." Altogether the whole
affair has a good deal of the appearance of
a farce.
ACCIDENT ON TIIE N. P. R. R.—The
latest accounts give the number of killed at
this awful accident, at sixty-six. Many of
the wounded it is said cannot recover. The
excitement and distress among the friends
and relatives of the killed and wounded in
Philadelphia, is described as unparalleled
and terrible. This painful accident should
induce the enactment of laws of the most
decided character. Life is too precious to
be placed in the hands of unaccountable and
reckless agents, at a nominal price. Rail
road cotnpanies and other corporations
should be held responsible in more ways
than pecuniarily.
TIIE RECENT RAII.R.OAD DIM ASTEIL—Tho
Coroner's jury in the railroad nocicent, on
the N. P. R. lt., gave in their verdict. The
following was the most important particu
lars of the verdict:
Third. That the said collision was occa
sioned by the criminal negligence of Alfred
iloppcl, who, as conductor, was in charge of
the excursion train running from Philadel
lhia to Fort Washington, and who careless
y and negligently ran his train beyond the
sidelin • at' • e 11111. _ „ _
3Torth•Ren • -vlixenia n . - ntp rfor
the running of excursion trains are insuffi
cient, especially in this. that there is no pro
vision for special instructions to the conduc
tors of the regular trains when excursion
trains are on tho road.
*A w s paper is an impersonality.—
Readers, in general care very little, and cer
tainly are not at all concerned to know who
may be the writer of a particular paragraph.
A newspaper's material, if it he anything,
cannot, now•a-days be exclusively the pro
duction of one man. It is immaterial who
writes—unless in a case that demands per
sonal accountability or personal offence—
and an opposing, journal would be better
employed iu answering the arguments or
overthrowing the positions of an article, than
in assailing or alluding to its imagined au
thor. This is a point of newspaper etiquette
which should be observed by all who would
maintain the decorum and dignity of the
press.
,j -Preston S. Brooks says lie shall come
back to the House, and he feels constiained
to assure those who voted for his expulsion
that "for all future time his self respect re
quired that he should pass the. 4 strangere."
The members must feel somewhat relieved
at this assurance. The danger was that in
stead of passing them he wculd stop up be
hind and rap them over the head with a
cudgel.
NFAMOCS OWTRACE.—The engineer of the
mail train, that loft New York at six o'clock
on Saturday evening. when between King.-
ton and New Brunswick, discovered the
track, about 400 yards in advance, a sleeper
and a piece of iron rail, apparently placed
there for the purpose of throwing the cars
off the track. He was fortunately able to
slacken the speed of the train so that the loco
motive threw the obstruction off the track.—

Daoirxr.n.—A boy named.llstek; son of
a boat captain, was drowned, on Monday
evening last, in the canal Basin, near Mr.
Fraley's boat yard. Ile was walking the
plank -from the boat tb tLe wharf; when
from some unaccountable ,catise, ho fell over.
Not more than two mintxtf4! elapsed until
his
,body was reoi'vey,* yet - in • that brief
space his soul, in all human probability, left
its earthly tenement, as all efforts to restore
him to life were unavailing. jle was about
10 years of age.
There seeing to be a wanton waste of life
about that ennui basin ;--some fatality—as,
every few weeks, we are sorrowfully com
pelled...to record the death of some one, by
drowning. Could there not be light cast
upon the waters when the nights are dark;
or watchman stationed near to prevent fu
ture accidents of this kind t We think there
should be some effort Made to prevent such
disasters-in the future by those who have
authority.
ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening last, a
boy of twelve years of age, son of Mr. Thos.
Groom, Despatcher at this place, jumped off
a train of burden ears, while in motion.—
unfortunately he slipped and fell; his hand
was nearly cut off by the flange of one of
the wheels and it seems remarkable that he
escaped With life.
We would take this occasion to speak n
word of warning to the boys ;—tbey are en
tirely too reckless, riding as they do on the
caw-catchers; jumping on and off whilst the
trains are going fast and in other ways risk
ing life for the "fun of the thing."
TUE WATER P/PES.—Met arc happy to an
nounce tuour citizens that the extended pipes
are in progress of connection. The Water
Company is . at wok• now and we presume
that, very shortly, we will have water that
is fit to drink. Fur sonic time past, the fluid
has been well mixed with mud, and we have
heard much complaint, many persons hav
ing entirely ceased to use thoir hydrant wa
ter finr drinking or cooking purposes. If the
reservoirs were cleansed, as was stated some
time ago, it is n little singular that the sedi
ment in the water has so increased. Any
parson doubting the thideness of the hydrant
water will be convinced by keeping it in a
vessel over night and making an examina
tion of the bottom, in the morning. if the
connection of the pipes fail to produce the
desired result, we think every citizen inter
ested in the welfare of our borough, should
at once exert himself towards procuring a
better article.
THE ST. CUARLES FtIONACE.—We ore glad
to learn that the loss by fire at the St.
Charles Furnace was very considerably less
than the estimate made in last week's
Spy. The total lass will not exceed $l,OOO.
Seventy hours after the termination of the
fire, the furnace was in blast, and it has been
doing well since. Even under the present
enterprising management, this satisfactory
state of attars is much better than was ex
pected. We trust the blast will prove sue,
cessful in every way. At the time of the
chilled—and it seeing remarkable that it
"came out" under such a run of ill luck.
MARBLX QUARRIE?.--W paid a brief visit
a few days since, to the extensive marble
quarries, lately re-opened, on the property
of M. M. Strickler, Esq., near this place.
From appearances there is an almost exhaust
less quantity of marble of the best quality and
greatest beauty—suitable for mantles,
which can be procured at small cost. Mr.
Strickler hai already filled several orders in
the east and wet, and, wo learn, the demand
is increasing. Seine of the specimens of the
black mottled marble will compare favora
bly with any found in the best quarries of
the U. S. We shall give a Adler description
of these (parties at some future time.
tarWe call the attention of the proper
authorities to the gutters and alleys in many
parts of our town. Should the present hot
and dry weather continue, the filth in many
places will not conduce to the health of our
inhabitants in ally very great degree. Let
the proper officers at mice attend to this mat
ter, as it is one of the utmost importance and
demanded by every one. The citizens too
should look well to their collars and yards,
and use such measures as aro best to prenerve
the unusual good health of the place.
W Crell TUE SIIUTF.—We hope an eye will
lie kept on the Shute during the prevnlenco of
low water, as heretofore it has been dammed
up when the water Wag insufficient to sup
ply thin Tide Water Canal. This company
has no right Co do this and it cannot be per
mitted.
ACCIDENT.—We take the following from
yesterday's bland Main
Ott Wednesday evening last, Mr. Elliot
E. Lane, of the firm of Lane Brothers, of
this city, met with an accident by which one
of his was fractured below the knee.
lle was riding with Mr. Sheaff. in Manor
township, when coming to a short turn in
the road, the horse being under rapid move
ment, before he could be brought up, the
vehicle was upset by some stones and stumps
—they were thrown out, and Mr. Lane in
jured as above, besides being bruised some
what on the hzad, but not seriously. Mr.
Shea ... escaped uninjured.
The services of Dr. Cassidy, of Millers
ville, were immediately obtained, who set
the limb, and yesterday Mr. Lane was vis
ited by Dr. F. A. Muhlenberg, and he is re
ported as doing well.
ACCIDENT FROM FIRE A mts.—Yesterday a
boy named Henry Donelly, aged 13 or 14
years, a son of Captain James Mildly, re
siding at Roseville, 3 miles from Lancaster,
wbile attempting to draw the charge of a
shut gun, by some means drew the trigger,
and the whulo contents of the barrel were
. received into the back of his left band, tear
/ ing the flesh and mangling the bones in a
; dreadful manner. The boy was brought to
the office of Dr. Henry Carpenter, who on
examinirt4 the wound was of opinion that
two of the fingers and the thumb may be
saved; thr ethers will have to be taken off.

taiNCASTER ITtys.—The corner stone of
the second Methodist church of t.l city,
was laid on Monday C'Fening last: Ailarge
concourse of persons wits in attendance and

George Green, convicted on the 19th
of April, 1854, ofi highway rubbery and
horse_stealing; and matepeetitoaeven years'
imprisoimient, died:l4V= countylos' on on
Thursday night last. , His disease was con
anciPtion. Shortly before hiti - diath the de
ceased said that his name was not Green,
but Henry C. Nye, -and that he was raised
in Troy, New York, Where he served out his
apprenticeship to the carpenter business.
A German girl, about 12 years of
age, died in the emigrant train of cars a few
days ago. She was in company with her
parents who were emigrating west. Her
death was attributed to the excessive heat
and indulging freely in cold water.—Exam
incr.
SAD AccttiEsr.—A child of Mr. Elias M.
residing in worth Queen street,
Lancaster, aged heniieen S and 4 years, met
a sudden death on Tuesday evening, from
falling while playing at the street door.—
He tripped against the scraper, and fell in
such a manner that his windpipe struck the
knob of the scraper, causing his death with
in flfteen minutes.
For the Colutabin Spy
Ma. Ser—l am no croaker, and don't
know that I have any relations in the
"Trepitl" family. In fact, my bumps of
firmness and combativeness present very
salient points on the map furnished me
many years since, by a distinguished profes
sor of phreno—and many other 7 -ologies.
So much by way of preface; now to the sub
stance of the matter. Everybody knows
how long we have been without rain, and
almost everybkdy knows or feels, that a
much longer continuance of the drought will
superinduce sickness of some kind. Now
fur one, I should be sorry that neglect should
lend its aid to other causes of disease, and
the filth allowed to accumulate in the alleys
and thoroughfares of our borough, bring
down upon us a pe'stilence. We yet feel the
results of the awful '54, and a few more
such visitations will certainly give our once
cleanly and healthy town, a character that
we shall regret heartily.
Let the proper officers look toll—they arc
human as well as you and I, and owe the
duty to themselves and families as well as
to the public. Another grievance you have
already noted. I refer to the "soup" served
out to us by the Water Company, at the rate
of from six to ten dollars per year. Its ap
pearance indicates a richness of material;
but as the ingredients do not seem to be
well cooked, some think it unwholesome.
The piles of oyster and clam shells lying at
the foot of Walnut street, and the yeasty
debris carried to the sate locality through
the sewers, Add a deal to the consistence of
the fluid pumped into the reservoir, and may
serve to make it a healthful beverage, but for
•
the soul of me, I can't say how. The fish,
in the blaotand stagnant reservoirs, appear,
RFlV al gTeft B iiiNin t ess7qln t o h uetn i aft,
does much to enliven the pools, and prove*
to a demonstration that the fluid is not yet
per se, a poison. This reflection is produc
tive of great consolation to the timid. It
may be Mr. Spy, that some folks allow their
cautiousness to lead captive their judgment,
but don't you think a little more attention
to cleanliness, on the part of the authorities,
would put an end to the carping of the fear
ful, and give rest to myself and the murmur
ing multitude? MAncrs.
TUE REPORTED BATTLE IN OREGON.—The
I Fildt inglon Star publishes letters from army
officers in San Francisco, expressive of doubt
respecting the story of the slaughter of Col.
Wright and one third of his regiment by Ore
gon Indians, brought by the last California
arrival. That this story was disbelieved in
San Francisco shown by the Alla Califor
nian of the 20th ult., which contains the fol
lowing:
"The statement we published yesterday,
to the effect that CA. 'Wright had been kil
led in an engagement with Indians, must be
incorrect—certainly so—because it does not
correspond with official papers in C en. Wool's
possession from Col. Wright. He writes
from Curvalis on the sth of Juno—one day
later than on the day on which it was report
ed that ho had been killed—but makes no
mention of a battle having been fought. He
dates from his own camp on the Notches
river, which, he says, has lately risen to a
height which naturally procludes the pos
sibility of either party approaching the
other."
Tux WrIEAT .11.11CVEST.—The Rochester
Democrat says: "But little wheat has yet
been cut in the Genesee Valley; but the
work of Harvesting the grain that has be
come, on acoount of scarcity and high prices
literally "golden," began early in the week.
and some portion has already been Fatly
housed. There will bo more cut next week,
for the hot days we have just experienced
brought forward the crop very rapidly.—
There will bo a fair average as to quantity;
and as to quality, the best. A single sam
ple, sent from Livonia, h,2 been , con here.
The berry is bright and beaut. Vol, giving the
millers hopes of seeing their hoppers once
more laden with genuine, undamaged Gen
esee wheat—the imperial grniu of the world.
The farmers in the vicinity of Jordan, On
ondaga county, have commenced cutting
their wheat. The crop in that section it is
thought will be above the ordinary yield."
FEELING Antsti.E.—The London Times,
in a 4th of July leader, looks across the
broad Atlantic at American - progress and
energy, and "fells proud of our race." The
77)nes is evidently in one of its amiable
moods, and is willing to take as by the hand
in friendship, spite of our bad manners, yel
low vests and fdlibustering designs. But if
American energy has led to such progress,
why plot so continually to prevent ita ex
pansion t Why not rather assist it to con
quer nature. establish law, and impart the
blessings of peace, order and civil liberty to
thoi vchole of Ibis broad continent.
EDITORIAL GLEANINGS..
TBE/GREAT BALLOON ASCENSION.—The
Boston Daily AAA.,liser of yesterday says:
The long anticipated balloon ascension "by
Mons. and Maddine Goddard came off yes
terday evening at the Agricultural Fare
grounds. An immense concourse of spec
*ors was present—Lperhaps fifteen thousand
porsons....The ascension *as advertised ,to
Come off at 61. o'clock, but-the ballocin was
not inflated till nearly eight o'clock. At
that hour Mons. and Madame Goddard, Mr.
J. Sleeper, of this Port Folio newspaper, and
a gentleman from Charleston, entered the
basket, a small pony being attached to the
bottom of the basket. The balloon refused
to rise With so heavy a freight, and M. God
dard went up without an 3 ", companion. The
balloon then sailed off slowly in a westerly
direction, and when at the height of about
two hundred feet, M. Goddard descended
from the car and standing on the back of
the pony, waved his hat to the crowds below.
Ile then returned to the car, and immedi
ately began to let out the gas. Ile descended
in West Italbury, about eight minutes after
he went up.
CANADIAN INDEVENDENCE.—The Montreal
Post says:
"As sure as the destiny of Canada points to
an issue, so sure, if Canada remain united,
will that issue be independence. It may be
a question of years, but it is worth waiting
for. It may be a question involving subor
dinacy to England for a time, but the direct
tendency of that country's legislation is to
train us for independent self government.
We are at present too few in population,
but its rapid increase will soon obviate that dif
ficulty. We may be divided but only on so
cial and local questions. We may fall out
by the way, but let no stranger intermeddle
with our quarrels; our fort:lnc:ls in our hands
—we may make or mar it, just as prudence
or folly may influence us; but let no fanati
cal speculation, no political stratagem, di
vide our unity of effort."
ANOTHER BRITISII CONSUL IN TROUBLE.—
Strange reports are published in the New
Orleans papers concerning a summary pro
cess served upon Mr. Muir, the British Con
sul in that city. It appears that he was
travelling on board the steamer Niagara,
bound fur Cairo, in company with a French
lady, when the other ladies took exception
to their conduct, and sought redress from it.
The Briton and the fair daughter of France
were requested to leave the boat, and on
their refusal to do so, the parties were put
ashore at a wood-yard in one of the most des
olate and inhospitable bends of the river
above Memphis. The ladies of New Orleans
intend to present a testimonial to the captain
of the Niagara.
eitßi-The notorious Lola Montez—the once
"favorite" of the addle-pated old king of
Bavaria—after having horsewhipped and
revolvered sundry and divers men, in Europe
and America, has finally "caught a Tartar,"
in Australia. It appears that having been
engaged to perform at the Ballarat Theatre,
for a 111cCrosby. she quarrelled with and
abused him about accounts. The "better
half" of Mr. C. finding that,Lola_hatl,”got
syroanrcr t a.
gross with a whip; and, after breaking it,
she then siezed the unconquered heroine of
many fights with the "lords of creation" by
the hair, and severely punished her. "When
goose meets goose, then comes the tug of
war."
PECULLMATIES OF GLASS4.—It is a curious
fact in science that glass resists the action
of all acids except the boric; it looses
nothing in weight by use or age; it is more
capable than any other substances of reciev
ing the highest degree of polish; if melted
several times over and properly cooled in
the furnace, receiving a polish which almost
rivals the diamond in brilliancy. It is ca
pable of receiving the richest colors produced
from gold or other metallic coloring, and will
retain the original brilliancy of hue for ages.
Medals, too. imbedded in glass, can he made
to retain forever their original purity and
appearance,
Fonotvt7 , 43 AND FoncErmm.—There are
two things that a woman, however thor
oughly she may forgive them, never forgets—
neglect and unkindness; and when once
these have cast their shadows across the
bright, eager gladness with which she yields
up her whole soul as a thank-offering to him
she loves, man with his stronger, sterner
nature can no more bring back the delicacy
and freshness of that young affection, than
he can restore to the peach the bloom which
his careless fingers have defaced. The love
may still exist in its full reality, but the
bright halo of early romance which surround
ed her has been dispelle.l. never more to
return.
Matts.—The mail which left the
post office in San Francisco June 6, to be
carried on board the Golden Age, contained
40,659 letters ant over 40.000 newspapers.
The mail numbered 149 bags, being nearly
fifty percent. more than are ordinarily used to
despatch one of their eastern mails. These
were filled mostly with newspapers contain
ing notices of the exciting occurrence of the
times. The largest mail ever despatched
from Stockton to the Atlantic States left
June 4. The number of Newspapers mailed
was over 3,000, and 1,200 letters.—Boston

FOLLOWING
A BAD 1:3: AIIPLE.-At a late
hour Tuesday night, at the Metropolitan Ho

The Trenton Gazette ie responsible

while the lady proprietor was arranging a

THE Caors.—The wheat crop of New York,
judging from all accounts, hue been serious
ly diminished by the ravages of the :weevil.
In some counties there Will not be half . a
crop.
Of the crops at the West the Cincinnati Ga
zette says: .
"The crops in the West arse now pretty
much secured, and we' have - no change to
make in the statement heretofore published
as to the general result. Taking the *whole
of the wheat growing States, the crop may
be set down as an average: -This, ofcourse,
gives a much larger supply in the country
than at the corresponding date last year,
stocks of old grain being much larger than
in July, 1855."
From Canada West the accounts are con
tradictory.
AMERICAN MAcruxErtv ENCLAND.—We
are pleased to know that the inventive ge
nius of American mechanics, and the .per
fection of American machinery are now du
ly appreciated in England. They have the
Bigelow loom for the weaving of velvet and
other tapestry carpetings, the American
Type Casting machine, the American im
provements in self-acting spinning mules,
American patent axles, McCormick's and
other reaping machines, &c., &c., and now
they are ordering and introducing the Type
Revolving Printing Machine of Messrs - . Hoe
& Co., of New York, the most perfect Print
ing Press ever invented by the genius of
man.
A BRAVE Boy.—The St. Johnsbury (Vt.)
Caledonian tells the following rather tough
story•
"Not long since, a youth of sixteen years,
was out in the town of Victory, gathering
spruce gum. While thus engaged, his dog
started up a bear, and immediately attacked
him. The dog being of small size, the own
er undertook to call him off, and in doing so
attracted the attention of the bear. The lad
was armed only with a gumming pole, a stick
eight or ten feet in length, with a knife-blade
at the end. The bear made at him with
mouth wide open, when the lad thrust the
knife end down the bear's throat, killing
him almost instantly."
THE MAMMOTII CAVE EXLARGED.—We are
informed that last Thursday a party of five
gentlemen, consisting of Stephen Bishop, the
guide, and three students, Robert Taylor,
Clarence Bate and William L. Stone, discov
ered a heretofore unknown passage in the
celebrated Mammoth Cave, two miles long.
By this discovery the cave, already the
largest in the world, is found to extend elev
en, instead of nine miles. This passage
was found by the party to lead to chambers
which they consider vastly superior to those
already known, both in extent and grandeur.
