The fears expressed by the Nashville papers respecting the Lx-Presidcnt, have unfortu nately proved too true. He expired at his res idence near Nashville, on Friday evening, 15th inst. His disease was chronic diarrhoea. The announcement of this event, says the Baltimore American, conies with a sudden and painful surprise. The youngest of all who have occupied the Presidential chair since the beginning of the Government, it was natural to expect for Mr. Pout a prolongation of life for years to come. But fie has gone, and at short warning. It was but recently that we read in a Nashville paper an account ot his improved health —the tranquility of his retirement hav ing apparently served to restore a system en feebled by the labors of public life. No man who Iras ever risen to the elevated post of the Presidency of this Republic can be regarded afterwards as an ordinary man ; and whatever diversities of political opinions may exist among a free people, the mantle of the Chief Magistracy, once worn by the chosen of the people, must ensure him always the re peclfu! consideration ofhis fellow citizens while living, and impart associations of regard to his memory when he has departed. The events of Mr. POLK'S administration mark an important period in our history. Thi6 is not the occasion to speak ot them in detail, cor has the time yet come when they can be spoken of uith entire impartiality. Of his own characteristics as a public man there will also be differences of opinion, according as they are judged of by frieadi or by political opponents. For ourselves we can only bear in mind at present that he was human aud is dead. President Taylor has directed the usual mark of respect to be paid to his memory by the several departments. The merchants, as will be 9een by an advertisement, intend elcuna their stores or the 4tii of July. The prac tice heretofore, we believe, has •*-!! to close Ore •flut ters and keep the doors half open. L L JONES invites tbe attention ef our readers to h.s extensive stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, 4c. T J HOFEMAK advertises a variety of articles which are worthy the examination of those in want. '"C proposed amendment to the Constitution, provid ir.t fcr the election of Judges by the people, is publish ed in our advertising columns as required by law. The favorable action of the next Legislature on the Amend ri.tot is necessary before it can be submitted to a vote of the people. The Lrigade Inspector gives notice of an electoin for Major General. Persons interested in the estate of George Schwartz, • referred to Sheriff's notice. CO*AN EXTRA, containing eight columns advertisements, accompanies today's Ga zette. Although issued with considerable ex tra labor and expense, we feel compelled to resort to this method in order occasionally to relieve our columns from an unusual press (at east at tins season of the year,) of advertise ments. On Wednesday last, we hear it said, the Thermometer ranged as high as on the hottest hay of i'zst summer. Should the sun keep on broiling at this rate, HOPPER will please re serve a corner for us in his ice-house. "he Episcopal Sunday School intend cele -ra';ng the anniversary ot our National Inde pendence in a grove near Granville. Besides fins, no arrangements that we wot of for cele brating the 4th have been made. What has become of all the heroes who, on such an oc casion, used to boil over with pat-riotism? The Hollidaysburg Register has half a no n that Cooper and McClure, of Mifflintown, end Waiters and ourself had some idea of com n.itiing matrimony about the time of the pro .y-d State Convention, and thus make our oternporariea dance attendance at the bridal i irty. We can speak for Walters and ourself, iriend Jones, both of us having abjured the ills ■ hachelordom years ago, but as for Cooper ■.:A McClure, it may be true—the rogues no 1 jiit had fair eyes, blooming cheeks, and roller~rge Lip- who in piteous tones bewails the chop •g oil >,| locojheo heads from office.

RIOTS. i>v\eral disgraceful riots have taken I .ace along the line of railroad .11 Huntingdon ' | county, in which several shantees we reborn 1 i'own and considerable properly destroyed.! Ie Huntingdon Journal slutes that Mr Gil ; espm, a contractor, was attacked to one of these affrays and se.tously injured. The only j cause for these proceedings is the old Irish 1 leud between the Co.inaught men and Far : "\vn.s; If the rascals were to knock each ! otlur's b.ains out, and leave property and unof- j tending citizens alone, there would, we think, be few tears shed for their loss. V/O~SAM HOPPER, the carpenter, we have j been told, lately erected a two story frame honso in sixteen days from the time ground was broken tor the cellar; and if he does not | become properly appreciated by our citizens as a carpenter, we fancy SAMUEL HOPPER, the Ice Merchant, will, should this melting wea ther continue through summer. Ilia ice has : imparted sucii a refreshing feeling to every- i ; thing with which it has been brought into con tact during the past week, that we could not well see how to do without it. It is a luxury within the means of nearly every one, and as | his list is rapidly filling up, better take it I while you can got it. The overflow at New Orleans is falling fast I —the water having receded five inches on the ; 12th instnnt, leaving large deposits of mud in ; the streets. - 1 . THE CHOLERA IS committing fearful ravages in St. Louis, there having been 99 interments : on the 19th. On the same day 111 Philadel j pliia three cases and two deaths—in New York 30cisesand 13 deaths—in Cincinnati 31 deaths A Washington letter of June 10, published j in the Philadelphia American, says—The Pres ident will probably visit Bedford Springs in the , month of August, and afterwards comply with his promise to the citizens of Pittsburgh, made when on ins way to bo inaugurated. He pro poses then to journey thruugh the interior of! Pennsylvania, and to attend the Agricultural Fair at Syracuse, N. Y. j PHILADELPHIA, June 17. Riot and Bloodshed. —Our city has again been the scene of another diagraccful riot among its firemen. The disturbance cornmen- ! ced about neon to-day between the Moyatncn eing and Franklin companies. Before the scene closed one man was killed and several I wounded. . LOUISVILLE. June IG. Desperate and Fatal Encounter. —At a public speaking which took place to-day in Madison county, between Cassius M. Clay and Joseph Turner, a quarrel ensued, which resulted in a rencounter between the parlies. They first drew pistols, which snapped but did not go off. They then attacked each other most fearfully and fiercely with bowie knives. Mr. Clay was stabbed through the heart and ex- j ptred immediately. Mr. Turner was severe- ! ly wounded 111 the abdomen and groin, and has since died. i This dreadful tragedy has caused great ex citement and much sorrow among the friends of both parties. Another account says Mr. j , Ciay was only wounded and is still living. THI Pf.n* DISTRICT FRAUD* —lt will excite surprise J and indignation wherever it is known, says the Daily > News, that the perpetrators of the gross frauds in the ! district of Fenn, Philadelphia county, at the last general j election, have been discharged from all responsibility by tbe locofoco Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions. It will be recollected that the most palpable violations of j duty, were charged upon the officers of the election, in j | making fraudulent returns of the names of the voters, j : and that the evidence as to the fact, taken before the : ! magistrate bv whom they were held to baii to answer, ! ! was of the most startling character. Upon the finding of indictments against parties, a general demurrer was i ! entered, alleging their insufficiency, which having been ' ! argued some time since, was decided on Saturday by 1 j Judge Parsons, quashing the indictments, and discharg- i Img the defendants from custody. The ground upon which the decision is based is, that the facts in support | of the charge of fraud and violation of duty, were not sufficiently specified ; and that officers of an election, such as clerks, inspectors, and judges, having different duties to perform, cannot he jointly indicted for a misde -1 meanor in office, unless it he stated in the indictment to 1 be such an act as tbe law reqnires'all to participate in. Such are legal technicalities, and such the proceedings which are rendering our courts and legal forms 11 mock- > ery of justice It is said that Judge Parsons in this opin i ion, expressed the unanimous sentiment of the Bench.— j We, in condemning it, express the unanimous opinion of j | outraged freemen. These forced constructions of law have already greatly weakened the confidence of our people in the judiciary, ami will yet lead to such a revi i ion of our legal forms as shall abolish those technical 1 lies of law, through which the most guilty now escape. 00~ For Market* see last column of this page.
