BEAUTIFUL CAPS. — A day or two ago we stepped into the extensive Hat and Cap Estab lishment of N. J. Ritusiix. uho exhibited to us a lot of the most elegant and beautiful Caps ever brought under our inspection. His as sortment is at present unusually large and di versified, and he is therefore euabled to please all who may favor him with a call. See ad vertisement. It w ill be seen by cn announcement in ano ther column, that J. THOMAS has made ar rangements to receive Tomatoes, Pickles, &c., by railroad, for the accommodation of epicu reans. The Sheriff of Lancaster county publishes a notice te the hews ef dohn-Graybill vi to-day's paper. J. M.

The Workingmen of Hollidaysburg held a nseeting last week in favor of the Poor Man's lotw, passed by the last legislature, exempt ing from levy and sale on execution property to the amount of 8300. The Harriaburg Union learus that the Board Directors of the Central Railroad, have de •.■errnined to place the grading of that portion ot' the Pennsylvania Railroad between Johns town and the vicinity of Blaireville under con tract early in October next. T KE CHOLERA. —We observe by our ex changee that the Cholera is fast decreasing in malignity in every section ot our country.— The number of deaths arc comparatively few, and from present indications it is but reasona ble to suppose that it will soon be wholly ex terminated. la St. Louis, t lest accounts, but four deaths had occurred in one week. In Cincinnati, it is still prevailing to some ex tent, though in a much milder form than for merly. lu New Yoik and Boston the num ber of deaths range from 6 to 15 daily. The editor of the Lancaster Tribune, who lately paid Lewistown a visit, pays the follow ing merited compliment to our hotels: *• Unlike most places of its size, Lewistown boasts several very fine Hotels, one of the very be.-.tot which is that of Mr. MOVER, fronting on the Public Square, and immediately oppo site the Court House. The Hotel itself is a very fine looking building, with elegantly fur nished parlors an 3 sitting rooms, and having wtiat is of still more importance to the travel ler, large and well ventilated chambers, with clean and comfortable beds. The table is lib erally supplied witli every thing that is desira ble, and the landlord himself is a quiet, gentle manly fellow, whom you like at the first glance, and from whom you part with reluc tance. He has, besides, the merit of being originally from Lancaster-—having formerly resided in Marietta—and lias therefore a claim upon the patroimge of euch of our people as may travel that way, apart from the excellency of his hotel. We speak from experience w hen we say that his house tms no superior any where out of Philadelphia." A laige and enthusiastic meeting of the friends of the National and State Administra tions was h*ld at Philadelphia on Monday evening last, to ratify the nomination of IIE.N --MV M. f'ULXKFT, as the whig candidate for Commissioner. Speeches were delivered by several distinguished individuals, among whom wn.-i tbu candidate himself, whose cogent re mark* relative to it,e Public Works were re ceivtd with the most unbounded applause. PCHT OrriCK Houtficuv.—A young man by the name of Knowle*, a clerk tn the Poet Of fice at New Hope, -Bucks county, was com untied in default of bail to prison, on Monday ot last week, charged with breaking the seal o a let er, and furit c '>• SIOO wh ch was en cW! therein. Ul'R DUTY. The tall election is rapidly approaching, end soon the political contest will begin. It becomes the duty of tire Whig party to recon- NOITRE —TO LOOK about AND see how things STAND —BEE whether the next election can BE car ried. The next will be no ordinary election. | Th<? vacancy produced by the expiration of Mr. Power's term, in the Canal Board, will have to be filled—members of the Legislature will : be voted for —and the Locofocos, who have met a disastrous defeat, will arouse themselves to action as in the days of yore, and to meet them we must be prepared. It becomes the duty of every Whig voter, who desires to see Whig rule perpetuated, to go to werk, and organise for an important con test. The victory gained last Autumn, has shown the people that when the Whigs are determined, they can be successful, no mat ter what odds they have to contend against.— Then we had all the influence of the Nation al and State Administrations to combat with; now we have obtained possesion of those for tresses, and it is our bounden duty to maintain them at all hazards. It is time, then, it we want to reap the benefits t/fthe late victory— if we desire the measures (or which we con tended at the last election enacted—to look calmly at the importance of the coming con test, and arouse ourselves is action. It mist not he concealed, that the Locofocos will make a stout resistance, fight desperately, and leave nothing undone which will work to their suc cess. We have reason to believe, that, like demagogues, they are already at work, barely coalescing with various factions of certain places, to promote the success of their party and men. Will the Whigs ofthia county; who so nobly came to the rescue at the last election, hang back, when we must but reiter ate iHp sentiment* to which we gave expres sion last fall. Think of these things, friends, and answer when the timeshall come. — Schuyl kill Miners Journal. ARE ALL AT WORK. The time haa now arrived for every Whig to he active. By an united and concerted ef fort wc niayelect Henry Al. Fuller Canal Com missioner, and secure a Whig majority in the State i-egisiature. By remaining idle a few weeks longer, we shall wake up to a sense of our danger w hen it is to late to secure a full attendance of our Whig friends at the polls.— Lot it not be urged ttiat wc cannot succeed, and that there is therefore no use in making the effjrt. The history ot the past shows tiic fallacy of such an opinion. Pennsylvania was carried for the lamented Harrison in 1"?40, and again for James M. Power in IMb. In Oc tober I"4S, the Whigs again triumphed with Gov. Johnston as their candidate, and in No vember following gave a majority of 14.000 lor Gen. Taylor. Let uo one therefore excuse his negligence and indifference, with the ground less assertion that we cannot succeed. Let all go to work and see that the proper organiza tion is had to secure a full Whig vote. This need but be accomplished to elect Mr. Fuller by a greater majority than that given for Gen- Taylor; for it must be borne in mind that Mr. Gamble cannot, under any circumstances, receive as Urge A vote as that cast for Gen. Cass. There remains now but a brief mouth to or ganize our forces and prepare them for the day of election. If we wish to succeed, wc must go to work now. We cannot afiord to lose another day. The preparatory steps for effi cient organization have already been too long delayed. Let us now arous) to our duty, and from henceforth labor we were wont to do in '-16 and'-IS, and there can be no douU j wc shall again triumph. FELLER'S POPILARITT. —The popularity of our candidate for Canal Com miss tone r, Mr Pul ler, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, maybe infer red from the position he occupies at home, in Luzerne county, and from the fact, that fie was elected to the Legislature last fall by the peo ple of that county, which has usually given a Lo cofoco majority of from eight hundred to one thousand, by a majority of alnxod fourteen humlrcd win ' We may well be proud of such a nomi nee. i FROM EVERT portion of our commonwealth, we are in the receipt of good news with regard to the coming election. The nomination of Mr. Fuller, appears to have infused a new spirit in to the party and aroused its members to action. The election i* pregnant with importance, and we expect to see every Pennsylvania:! do his duty. RTIODT IJTLAND KLBCTION.— Nathan I\ Dixon, the whig candidate for Congress in tins State, was elected by a majority of over GOO. This is another whig gain, the District having been heretofore represented by loeofoeof, and i the change is only -attributable, says the Provi dence Journal, to the " depression of the man ufacturing and mechanical business," and the conviction'that such a state ot affairs "couid not be relieved without a change in the pre sent revenue laws." MASS MEETING TO RECEIVE THE PRESIDENT. A mass meeting of the people of the city | and county-of Philadelphia is called, for Thurs day evening next, to make arrangements for 1 the reception of the President of the' United Slates, who is expected to pass through'that ' city on his return to "Washington. ' J KEVTOCEY LKGIHIATURK. —The Frankfort ( "Commonwealth" gives returns, official and reported, by which it appears thnt tfie wliigs , have a majority of -übout 30 on joint ballot in , the Legislature. V \ At a meeting of the editor* of the 10th Con f rretJional district, held on the 520 th ult., Col - I "W H Hutter W:J* chosen to represent the dis j trict in the Fditor.ai State Convention. The truths expressed in the following arti cle of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, on the subject of the late elections, are so much to the |njint, that we are induced to give it a spuce in our columns: TIIE LATE ELECTIONS. "There be vanquished who are victors."and never is the maxim of the poet truer in its ap plication, Than when it is used in connection with the defeut of a party, which has sacrificed its majorities, to an adheratice to principle, in an opposition to the basei interests ol its antagonist. The rocent assertion ofthe North ern Whig press, that the liberal feeling upon Slavery-extension, in the South, was monopo lized by that section of the Whig party, has been lolly borne -out by the late elections in that quarter. The Northern partisan who can rejoice at the result of those elections, shows his recreancy to tho principles ol free dom. The shout of triumph, however, has gone up. Northern Ijocofbcoism has re-asserted its unity with the ultra slavery spirit of the South, and the Democracy of t lie Free Slates has, once more, ho wed subserviency to the despotic rpir it which has so long held it in disgraceful bond age. Eight Whigs should have been elected to Congress in Kentucky, yet three ol the eight have been lost, and why ? Simply, because the most prominent and influential \\ lug in the State was an avowed Emancipationist, ami the Congressional Candidates ot his party were more or less tinctured with his spirit: while every Locof'oco paper, and every prominent 1 xi oofoco politician committed themselves, body and soul, to the perpetuation of slavery in their own Stale, and the extension of their peculiar institution to all new territory, without limit.— These are undeniable facts, and let them be marked. SLAVERY has given the new vic tories to Ixicofocoisni in Kentucky. The fact is recorded, and Northern Democracy is wel come to it, in ali its length and breadth. Loud rejoicings have also been held over the meager majority which has elected Edward Stanley ot North Carolina. \\ by that meager majority! Simply because by bis lib erality of principle, voting against tho odious gag-rule and lite Si ivory extension resolutions of the legislature of (us own State, he bad demonstrated los devotion to the cause "friglit and humanity. What causes for rejoicing by the free Democracy ofthe North! Cut tlie causes for rejoicing 6top not here.— In Kentucky, Aylett Buckuer. the Southern advocate in Congress of tho Wiimot Provi so, and John l\ Gaines who introduced a bill, at the last session ot Congress, for the aboli tion ot slavery in the District of Columbia, have been beaten by rabid Slavery-extension ixKofbcos. Humphrey Murshall, stigmatized as an abolitionist, Ims been elected, it is true, in the Ixiuisvillo District: but by a majority that has been a grateful subject of congratula tion, among the Northern Ixicotoco ranks. — Another cause tor rejoicing, just as legitimate ns these, is found in the defeat, through Ixico foco influences, of every Emancipation Candi date to the Kentucky Conventien. ll is a delightful concert —the magnificent Duitt of the Democratic party. North arid South. The jSasliviUc Union, the leading 1.0-cofoco cofoco paper of Tennessee, gives a column of triumphant. music over the result of elections in that Stale, and very obligingly explains the cause of the triumph. It elates that the de feat of Neil S. Brown, the Whig candidate fur Governor, was attributable to his opposition tonne of the resolutions of the Democratic Con vention. And what was the resolution 1 Re sistance to the Wilmot Proviso t and ail kin dred measures, at at! hazards, arid to the last extremity. Because Neil S. Brown opposed this incendiary resolution, he tailed in Ins elec tion and the shouts of the "fierce Democracy" went up in Tennessee, and found an eclio in the hearts of the free Democracy, a!! over the Union, and re-verberated among the green lulls of "Free Soil" Vermont! The echo ceat>cd not iiere, hut sweeping backward in its track it bioppcd in Indiana, directly across the r,v er trorn old Kentucky, and joined itself to the shout cl a District of Locofocos, who, by join ing themselves to the "Free Sobers," h-d elec ted Geo. W. Julian, a Van Bureuite,over Sam uel W. Parker, Whig. We repeat the maxim: "There be vanquish ed who are victors," and though we could have . wished for a stronger Whig ascendancy in the House, than, by the best fortune, we shall ; obtain, we cannot look upon our reverses in the Slave States a-any thing lecs lhau a high mor al triumph. The position ot the two parties of the country has been unmistakably defined. The Southern Kncufocos are the Slaveiy-ox tensionists ot" the South. Slavery-extension is the ground upon which they hove (ought and won "their recent battles. It is undeniable.— Northern Locofocos have demonstrated tiuir liollow-heartednesss, by professions of Free Soii principles, and yet rejoicingover the de feat of the friends of Free Soil at the South. MonTai.iTT tv YORK, PA.—'the York Advo cate gives a melancholy account of the state of health in that borough. It states that from four to eight persons have died daily, principally children, from diarrhcca and dysentery. The : physicians arc kept so constantly employed that it is difficult, even in the most urgent casts, to obtain their immediate services. The number j of cases were, however, at last accounts, fast j decreasing. ItonMßi.r..—According to a statement in the Sangamon (111.) Journal, of the Gth inst., a lain ify in Mason county, iri that State, consisting of j nir.e persons, were attacked witfi cholera, all of whom died but one child. The surviving child was removed by the neighbors, and the house then set on fire and consumed, with all its con tents, including the eight dead bodies. Frederick Smith, indicted tor the murder of Frederick Foster, was tiied i.u the Quarter Sess on of Adams county before Judge Dnrkee- The jury returned a verdict of gnilsy of mur der in the Jirst degree! A motion for ti new trial was tiled by the counsel for the prisoner. •Disc* ACK rot. HIOT. —We learn that at A camp meeting, held last week about five miles from York, a set of rowdies gathered undc.ommcnced their operations of mischief, by throw ing stones among the congregation and at the preacher's stand, breaking several tamps and endangering , the fives of those present. Not succeeding as they expected, and fearing detection, they made a hasty retreat. On the following evening they ! renewed the assault, but were still more unfor tunate than the previous evening, as several of , lhcui were arrested and others recognized. Sev eral others arc strongly suspected, and will it is to be hoped, receive their just punishment. Dysentery is prevailing to an alarming ex j tent lu Trer.ton, N. J. ; VOR E I G.N NEW S. ARRIVAL or THE CALEDONIA. Austriv and llckcary. —The intelligence by this arrival is of little importance, except that part of it referring to the progress of the allied | lmperia'ists in the war waging upon Hungary. 1 An engagement between the Hungarians under | Gorgey, and the Russians at ISJishkolz, on the left bank of the river Sajo had been reported ; but the result of the battle was left doubtful.— We now learn that the engagement was one of fhe most important of the whole war, and, so far as is yet known, though unattended with any decisive result, the advantage seems to have remained with the Hungarians. After the battle of Waitzcn, in which Gorgey succeeded in breaking the line of the combined armies and effecting his retreat, Prince Paskiawitsch des patched tien. Gralibe in pursuit of him. On ! the 22d of July he reached Losonz, but found that Gorgey had quitted that place with his rear guard that very day. The next day he j continued the pursuit, and on the 2ith fell in with the Hungarian General with a force of thirty thousand men, strongly posted at Misb kolz. Meantime General Paskiewitsch bad al so sent three other regiments against the Hun garians and an attack was at once commenced hy the Russian division under Czeodajetf. The battle lasted three days with varied success, the fortune of war being equally divided between the combatants. On the 26th, however, Gor gey withdrew his army. The correspondent of the London Chronicle says, that he 'gave in,' representing it as a de feat ; —but the Times says that 'Gorgey, whose manoeuvres are wont to puzzle his antagonists, quitted his position and marched in the direc tion of Tokay.' At all events the Russian Gen i cral Grabbe w as sent in pursuit and crossed the Tlieiss at Tissa Fured. His march was one of immense difficulty, the route lying over morass es, atid the bridges having been destroyed by the Hungarians. The Russians at last jtireeed i ed in crossing the river, though in a sad plight and with the entire loss of their baggage : they forthwith commenced throwing entrenchments around the position which they had taken up. Here our latest accounts leave them. The Times, in an editorial article, speaks of the issue as decidedly ur favorable to the Russians, ft is also stated that the intelligence received at Vi enna by special courier from the carnp of Prince Paskiewitsch was not allowed to transpire.— This is the sum of aU the intelligence from that part of the Hungarian army under Gorgey on the Upper Theiss. General Paskiewitsch reach ed Debreczin on the 22d of August, and took possession of that place without opposition. ' The second edition of the Times' on Friday, states that there was a private report at Vienna on the 12th, of a great battle between the Rus sian General and Dembiuski, having been fought during two days between Debreczin and Gross wardein, in which Paskiewitsch was defeated. Rut this was only a rumor and might prove un true. From iszegedin no accounts had been receiv ed i* Vienna for tbp iast six days, and none of Prince Paskiewitsch for above four days. It is worthy of remark, that the intelligence which the last courier brought from the Prince's camp on the 7t'n inst. was not allowed to transpire : ft was privately -tuted at Vienna that the Rus sian Marshal has had two days' battle with Dcm binslfi. This battle is asserted to have takan place bet ween Debreczin and Grosswardein. Our correspondent has received intelligence from Rum. of the 7th inst. The imperialist ar inv at that place had been reinforced,anci it was believed that the Man was at Mossorin M. Kos suth was on Ist inst. at Perlaz, and on the 3d he went to Panczova. It was believed at Vienna that the Imperial ist army which has been concentrated to oppose the progress of the Hungarians from Comoro, would begin to act 0:1 the 13th inst. Ihe Kol ner Zritung states that the city of Raab has been occupied bv a large Hungarian force, which form* part of General Aulich's army. Weisel burg has bc<-n evacuated bv the Imperialist gar rison, and the Hungarian ilirssars have entered the place, though they have not yet taken pos session of it. The road of Stuhlweissenburg and Pesth is likewise in the hands of the Hun garians, for Hussars and Honvcds made their appearance at Vcsspriru. Large bodies of Hungarians (it is stated no less than 15,000) advanced in the island of Shutt to Sommer.dn, and some of the Hussars have txen pasM'd through tli€ *ubcrbs ** Pn*s*bunj. All the towns and provinces of Austria have been drained of the last troops which could be spared to collect an efficient garrison for Pres- j burg, and 25,009 men, most ot" them young troops, were got together, and even they are wo- : fully in want of horses and artillery. Presburg cannot, there lore, be pronounced to be sale, and Vienna too ;■< in danger of a visit from the Hus sars. The condition of the imperialist armies j would indeed be desperate it the late rumors of a defeat which Prince Paskicwitch suffered between Dcbrazin and Grosswardein were to prove true. The above comprises an outline of all the in telligenec relating to the principal operations of the week. The sortie of the Hungarians from the fortress of Comorn seems to have been a most energetic and important movement. The losses of the Imperialists in killed and wounded , and in captured men and cannon, was much greater than was at first reported. The cap ture of Itaah is also fully confirmed. The re treat of the Imperialists from that city was ail but a race, in which the soldiers cast away their muskets, swords and knapsacks, v. liile the Rus sians arrived at Presburg in their shirt sleeves. Rumor speaks ot five battalions ot foot which are. missing, and those among the Imperialists ; that have been actually engaged bear the rnark< < of the satires of the formidable Hussars. The impression which these reverses produced at Vienna is profound and lasting. A letter from Rome of the f>th instant say? : ' Our capital, so perfectly tranquil during the last fortnight, has suddenly resumed a warlike appearance, f'orps of cavalry and infantry arc encamped during the night on the principal squares; the horses are saddled, and the guns loaded. Four pieces of artillery arc pointed on the Piazza del Popolo, towskrds the three great streets, the Corso, % ia Repelto, and \ia del Itabuino. Squadrons of cavalry, and strong detachments of infantry patrol at night the streets of the city. Gen. Oudinot, on being informed of the measure reducing by one-thifd the value of the paper money, and anxious to prevent a popular insurrection, asked that the j decree should not be posted up through the town ; but tho Pontifical Commission placed un der hi* c\ s his declaration of the day betorc, by which he resigned all his power into Un hands of the delegates of the Holy Father, and the general was obliged to allow the promulga tion of the decree.' The other acts of the Pontifical Commission are equally ominous. They comprise the iV establishmctit of the €olo*loslloßl courts ; the abolition of all laws enacted since the Gtli of November, 1848; the dismissal of all persons who served under the Republic, anil other persons ! so absolute and despotic that nothing but the presence of French troops prevents a general convulsion. In short, the French Republic has, ' liberated' the Romans with a vengeance. Latest Foreign News. The U. S. mail steamer Washington, ("apt. G. \V. Floyd, arrived at New York on Monday 1 from Southampton, bringing dates from London i to the kO-h, two days later than those received 1 by the Caledonia. The Washington brought about 400 tons of French, German and British goods 011 freight, j and nearly '3)O passengers. The intelligence by this arrival, though iuter -1 csting, is not of great importance, t The news from Paris alludes more particu larly to the uneasiness in the public tnirul regarding the reported deigns of Presi dent Bonapaite and his Ministers, in reference to a change in the lorin of the Constitution, preparatory to declaring Louis Napoleon Em ]ror or Consul for life. Although the official journals endeavor to discredit these rumors, yet they were acquiring a certain degree of consistency. M. l.edru Rollin had returned to Paris to stand his trial. M. Pierre Bonaparte had been fined 2bo francs for striking M. Gas tier in the Legislative Assembly. The opening of the Paris and Strasbourg and Paris and Ly ons Railways had been indefinitely postponed. The weekly returns of the Bank of France were unfavorable. The treaty of peace between Austria and Sardinia had received the ratification of the two powers. The latest intelligence from Vienna informs us that a buttle had taken place on the sth of August, between the Hungarians and Imperial ists, near Szegeden, which continued uninter ruptedly for several hours, and on which oc casion, we regret to learn, the Magyars were defeated, losing five pieces of artillery and 400 prisoners, amongst whom was Prince Wore liizskv. During this engagement. Gen. Rom berg forced the passage of the Thciss at Ramska and captured two or three field pieces and a num ber of prisoners. By these combined successes, the whole Imperial Army was said to be again united. Other accounts from Vienna mention that tie Hungarians had taken possession of Vesprim and Papa, and were threatening Peslh. IUINOARV. Defeat of the Hungarian*. The steamship Niagara, Capt. I ding, arrived at Halifax on Wednesday morning, bringing five days later intelligence from l&urope. The news from Hrangaty is of an extremely deplora ble character, it seems that after several terri bie conflicts, a>l terminating in the prostration and defeat of the Hungarians, Georgey has final ly been compelled to surrender to the Rus sians. The intelligence from the scat of war in Hun gary, is of the most disastrous kind. The Hun garians have been defeated at ail points, and the cause which Uiey so courageously upheld against fearful odds, had fallen past redemption. The pre-delails of the circumstances which led to this unfortunate and unexpected result cannot be ascertained from any accounts within our reach. Part of the main facts are that the Hungarians have been forced to lay down their arms and submit conditionally fo the Russian forces. A meeting, including Kossuth, Georgev and Bern subsequently took place at or near Xrad, at which it was determined at once to put an end to a war as sanguinary as useless. Georgey addres-ing the Council of War protested that he had no hopes for the cause of Hungary—that all resistance was in vain and that nothing but ut ter ruin would attend the prolongation of the struggle. Georgey's remaining induced a num ber of the Hungarian Ger.erals to side with him on surrendering not only Georgey's corps, but also part of the beseiging army at Tamasoac— numbering in all from to 4fJ,OO(J men—that stood Georgey and the war party, headed by Bern, Kossuth and the leading members of the Hungarian Parliament, had nothing left but to hasten to Opova Ris stated that they have al ready entered upon Turkish Territory, and it is also stated that M Kossuth carried with him the insignia of the Hungarian Empire, inclu ding the State jewels Georgev surrendered to Prince Paskiewitch under th* one condition, if condition it can be called, that the Prince should intercede with the Austrian Emperor for himself, his troops and his country. It is asserted that Georgey s desperate resolu tion was prompted by the mutinous conduct of the Hussars. Ei.vaxrfa OF PKSSSTLVASIA.— l'iie State Treasurer of Pennsylvania has just published an official statement of the finances ot Penn sylvania, from which it appears that there was in the Treasury, on the 14th inst .after the pay ment of all expenses, ordinary and extraordi nary, a balance to the credit of the State of no less than §800,165 00, while from the second pari, being the Treasurer's estimate of the state of the finances on the Ist of February, 1650, it appears that (here will be, on that day, a cred it balance of §164 236 13, applicable, as an un appropriate excess, under the act of April 10th, to the completion of the North Branch Canal. The Treasurer says: The large appropriation of over §1,200,000 to the l'ublic Works, by the late General As sembly, will discharge the State indebtedness thereon, and will tree the Treasury the coming year of that burthen. In consequence we may safely caicuiate that no more than $300,096 will be required bv the State Works the en suing year. In this view of the subject, there can be no hesitancy, in saying that the State debt may be reduced at least three hundred thousand dollars next year, and at the same 1 time give, under the act of the 10th of April last, iiie sum of from §750,000 to $900,000 towards the completion of the North Branch Canal. THE APDUCTION OF Rev.—The abduction of an individual named Rev, at New Orleans, a month or two since, with the advice and consent, as is alleged, of the Spanish Consul at that port, still excites a good deal of attention at New Orleans, where the matter was undergoing a protracted investigation. The Spanish Consul is under bail to answer the charge. Recent de velopments look as though there were more truth in the charge than at first appeared. The Washington Republic, in an article on the sub ject, speaks very decidedly, and says, 1 the out rage is one which the American people will not submit to; and although the President of the j United States has recently evinced to the Span ish authorities and to the world a determination to suppress all underhanded efforts to seize the Island i f Cuba, yet we know that, when once convinced that a free man, be he a foreigner or native, has been fraudulently and forcibly kid- j napped in an American city, by order of the Spanish authorities, he will be prompt to resent the insult, and compel a speedy atonement for the outrage from the Spanish Government.' The above paragraph is from the Gettysburg Star. The Spanish Governor of Cuba, has sur rendered Hi v on the demand of the American Government, and he has already returned to New Orleans to testify on the trial of the Span ish Consul. TUB IKON TKAOE. —The American Rail road Journal, in the course of an article upon Iron Trade, makes the following remarks; 'This great branch of national industry con tinues very much depressed, without any pros pect of immediate improvement. Nearly ev ery mill in the country lor making Railroad bars, if not every one, has suspended work : and we may calculate upon a genera!abandon iiienl of the manufacture of pig and most kinds ! of bar iron, unless it is further protected by the revenue laws of the country, or unless an en i tire revolution takes place m our social con dition, bringing shout the same state of things that \vc now witness in Grist llritain, the country from u hich we draw most of our sup i plies of this article. The Noiristown Register says: 'Mr Lap, iel Hallow-ell, residing in Ixiwer Marion town ' ship, this county, met with a serious acciden on the Philadelphia and NorrUtown Rai| roa i few days since. Whilst seated in one of the | ears attached to a train in rapid motion, w • his arm resting upon the window, in passing number of cars upon an adjoining track the arrn was caught by a door, which from some cause I had heeu suffered to remain open, and badlv j. jured ; it was broken in several places and othr wise disabled. The physicians attendant upon j him, have decided it necessary that the arm should be amputated.' It is stated in a western paper, that a num. lier of boxes, witt dead bodies in them— the remains of gallant men—American soldie-rs who tell in Mexico—have been stored at New Orleans, for a long lime past, with nobodv t 0 claim tliem. One of them marked LM. Prv or, contains, it seems, the body of Dr. MePhsli | of Tennessee, and was brought to New Or leans two years ago. The Secret Expedition. Notwithstanding the proclamation of the Pres ident of the United States, which we published I several weeks ago, it would seem by the follow j ing, that the organization of a large armed forte I is in actual course of accomplishment: St. Louis, September 3. A letter has been received in this city from Hound Island, midway between Mobile and New Orleans, which says that 1000 men of the j Secret Expedition had arrived there, and would sail on board the steamship Taney, on the 20th August, for an island about 100 miles distant from Vera Crux. The writer is a member of the expedition, who thinks that Sierra Madre 1 will be the place of destination. 20,000 men from different parts of the United States were : expected to rendezvous at a point near Yea Cruz. ST. Lou lß, Sept. 3, 1649, By later advices from the Plains we learn that the cholera is raging among the North western Indians to an alarming extent. It had disappeared from among the Southern tribes and those on the South Arkansas river. TLe Indiana along the Missouri river continue greatly incensed against the whites for intro ducing the epidemic amongst them, and were committing daily murders on the inoffensive inhabitants, out of revenge. HE UNPREJUDICED.— Let no foolish per son* be to prejudiced against this now truly celebrated medicine as to despise this advice ; let it be used immedi ately on pain being felt: no matter w bete it may he, whether in the head or feet, whether it be in the backer abdomen, whether arising from external orintecnalcausr, usa the lirandreth'c Pills,and rely upon h, Urn'.he pais will go, the body will be restored to health as sooaas na j ture has received sufficient ASSISTANCE from tsetr effect The quantity of impure humors discharged from the body by the action of the Brandretb's Pills, is replaced in the course of a few hours with Bew and pure blood, fey the digestion of a moderate meal. By purging the body with this medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en tirely purified and regenerated. That the blood is the life of the body, I presume is an | disputed, therefore I shall say that it being the SgsTor LIFE, it mutt also be the seat of disease, if disease be in the blood, we should abstract the disease only, not the blood. It is the impurities which must be removed by purgation to secure our health, in ail states of tbe weataer, in all situations, and in all climates. The blood, like a good spirit, is always trying to benefit the body by ill struggles to expel impurities. But it is not capable to ef fect its own purification at a!) times: to do this hmust j often have assistance. When the blood is loaded witbia puritles, especially in this climate, the consequences may be fata), provided the Mood is not purified at once, and tins is sure to be effected if Brandveth's Pills are used Purchase the genuine medicine of the followingager.il: JOHN A.
