Since it has been ascertained that Gamble is
elected, we have already heard it whispered
that the work of decapitating locofoco office
holders along the line of canal will be com
menced in good earnest in January next. Look
out, gentlemen—a set of hungry cormorants,
with anaconda rnaws, are on your track—the
guillotine is ready—the axe sharp—the execu
tioners unrelenting—and ail you have to do is
to bare your necks and submit to the work with
as much grace as you can command .'
READING RAlLßOAD. —According to a report
of the New England agent, the Reading Rail
road ia indebted rri*re than seventeen millions
of dollars'. With such a millstono around its
neck, the stockholders had better deliver the
whole concern to the creditors at once, as it
will certainly never pay them a dividend.

Riot and Pire in Philadelphia.
On Tuesday night the rowdies of Moyamcn
ting made an attack on the coiored population,
which ended in the destruction of several
tuiMings by fire and the loss of several lives. I
The California House, at the corner of St.
Mary and Sixth streets, had long been an ob- j
ject of hostility to the whites. One cause of
this was a report that the proprietor of it, a
mulatto man, had living with him a white wo
man as his wife. Soon after the rowdies with
their blazing wagon reached the corner, an at
tack was made upon the house. The windows j
were pe.ted in with stones, and after a desper- ;
at struggle the blacks inside were forced to
retreat from the house by the back way. The ;
active rioters were at this time comparatively i
few, and half an hour at least elapsed before
•hey gained an entrance into the bar-room. ,
The blacks during this time were not idle, and
made several rallies down St. Mary and Sev
enth streets with bricks for the purpose of j
driving off the whites. Pistols and guns were j
occasionally discharged on both sides. It was
about 9 o'clock when the rioters effected an en
trance into the house, and then the fixtures ot ■
the bar-room were broken up and a bonfire j
made inside the house. The building was soon
in flames, and at 12 o'clock at night had ex
tended up St. Mary street, burning two brick
dwellings and a carpenter ehop back The
heal had abo >-r fire ' > the frame tavern on
the lower corner kept by Mr. Mcllvain, and
thence fire communicated to the Montgomery
House adjoining, and a -table on St. Mary
street, belonging to Mr. Bell.

of the disturbed district, and planted cannon io

Election Returns.
Had any stranger been in Lewistown lost
year and seen the energy and perseverance
with which the whigs labored, and again vis- j
ited our town on Tuesday last, he could hardly
have believed that these men had fallen into
such a state ot supineness end inactivity as
characterised their movements on the latter
day. A few, it is true, who are ever at their
posts, did all in their power, but so few in num
ber were they, that no attention whatever •
could be paid to dilatory or doubtful votes.
The consequence was that an open held pre
sented itself to our more active opponents, who
improved the opportunity with all the skill and
tactics for which they arc proverbial, and thus
achieved a triumph they may well be pioud ot,
and of which the whigs ought to be heartily
ashamed. Some cause for dissatisfaction may
have existed—not with the ticket, but with
other matters to which wo may some day re - j
fer—but notwithstanding there is no excuse
for having voted the entire loeofbeo ticket, as
a considerable number most undoubtedly must
have done.
In some of the townships our friends, under
the circumstances, did well, while in others
the usual apathy that invariably follows a suc
cessful campaign prevailed in its full extent.
Th-s is certainly a very strange method ot sup
porting those whom the people Inst year ele
vated to power. In the case of the National
Administration, there arc enough slavery men
elected to Congress from the South, when
joined to their present allies of the north—ab
olitionists and professing tree soilers—to com
mand a majority in that body; and now, in this
State, instead of electing a Legislature willing
to give the measures of Gov. Johnston a fair
trial, they have sent a majority of partizans j
who will spare no efforts to embarrass him. If
the interests of the State should suffer through
this negligence—if the people in a few years
should be saddled with more taxation to supply
the money that will be squandered on the ca
nals, those who aideJ in bringing about this
result, can Jay the blame on their own shoul
ders.
We subjoin the returns for Canal Commis
sioner. which will vary but little, if any, from
the official result:

MILLS BCRNF.I>. —We regret to learn that the
valuable mills of the venerable Bishop Chase, of
Illinois, attached to Jubilee College, of which
he was the founder, were destroyed by fire a
few days since. The loss is eight thousand
dollars, there being no insurance upon the pro
perty burnt.
NEW VORK, Oct. 9.
We learn from Boston thai the British brig
St. John, from Galway, Ireland, for Boston,
struck against the Grampus Rocks on Sunday
last about 9 o'clock in the morning, and sunk
almost instantly, having broke in piecis. By
this painful calamity, it is estimated that 99
passengers found a watery grave. The cap
tain, crew and some passengers were saved by
floating on pieces of the wreck. Twenty.five
of the dead bodies were washed ashore and
picked up on Monday morning.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 8.
Five large steamboats lying at our wharf
have been destroyed by fire. It broke out on
the Falcon last night a little after 1L o'clock,
and a strong north wind prevailing at the time,
the flames spread with great rapidity. The
Illinois caught first, then the Marshal Ney.
then the North America, and then the Aaron
Hart. Every effort to save them proved una
vailing. The Robert Ferris and the America
shoved out at the commencement of the fire,
and were saved, with but a trifling loss. Of
those burnt there areoniy two hulls now in
sight, the others having sunk. The total loss
in freight is estimated at a quarter of a million
of dollars, of which our insurar.ee offices sus
tiined but little loss.

SEWH FROM THE PLACER.
The Peruvians and Chilians have been pret
ty thoroughly routed in every section of the
Middle and North Forks, and the disposition to
expel them seems to be extending throughout
the whole mining community. Our advices
from the Middle and North Forks are verv fa
vorable. One party of twenty on the North
Fork, within some twenty miles from tbesnow,
were averaging per day each. A gentle
man direct from the Middle Fork informs us i
that many of the old miners are doing better
this year thnn la?L Yet many are returning, :
who either have no luck or no energy; we !
think it a want of the latter commodity.
We learn that a party are operating on the
Middle Fork with a submarine armor, by
wiiich arrangement they take out many thou
sands daily of the du®t. They think, when
they get their apparatus f-iirly at work, they
will average §10.900 per day.

The California says there was much sick
ness at the minesat last accounts. The " sick
ly season" comprises the months of July, Au
gust and September. Two small steamers
are plying on the Sacramento. The accounts
! from the placers are very good. The Califor
nia says: <ve have no prodigious gold stories
to relate, but confining ourselves to the simple
assurance of good hick to those who labor, we
' trust not to defeat the expectations of the most
j visionary. In fact, ail accounts agree that it
requires the severest toil, hardship and depri
vation in the mince to realize any considerable
amount of of the golden treasure. The Kana
i kits of Happy Valley have suffered severely
from dysentery, and when we visited them
from their wan and faded features, we felt that
1 they longed for the sunshine of their native
isies beyond the sea. The Cat-ears and Chi
nese endure this climate better, and the latter
I people do not seem particularly affected by the
severity of our cold nights and fogs. Although
wo have no rain, the dews amount to perfect
| night showers, and they lack the general in
i fluenco of ram from their coldness.

Communicated.
On Tuesday morning last, of congestive fe
ver, in the 19th year of her age, Miss ELIZA
BETH GRACE, daughter of John and Theodosia
Kennedy.
In the death of this interesting young lauy,
her family have sustained an irreparable loss,
i ler gentleness of disposition, her uniform kind
ness of heart and sweetness of manners, en
deared her to a large circle of young friends,
wfio have felt in this mournful dispensation of
Providence as if one whose life was interwo
ven with theirs was suddenly snatched from
among them. V- hile they iiave sincerely
wept her transit from this earthly scene, they
have felt how piercing is the thought that they
have ga/.cd on her sweet countenance for the
last tune, felie has thus prematurely, in the
spring time of life, sunk down into the clods of
the valley ; but ahe passed away as gently Hs
the infant's slumber, triumphant in death.
Fear fled away, for she cloved her eyes on all
beneath the sun full of promise—buoyant in
hope—fixed in a deep rooted faith, which feels
that the soul is immortal and hvea beyond the
grave.
Long will her young friends gather around
her last earthly resting place, and while they
strew roees on her grave, may they fondly
cherish her memory, and so walk through life
that their fast end may be like unto hers. All
will fall as surely—none more calmly.
" Thou wert so like a form of light
That Heav'n benignly called thee hence,
Ere yet the world could breathe one blight
O'er thy sweet innocence :
And thou that brighter home to bb-sa
Art (tagged with all thy loveliness."
Obituary.
Died, on the 14th September. ALLAN C. MII.I.IKEN,
son ol' James Milliken, Esq , of Lewistown, l*a , aged
3t years and i months
The deceased was a graduate of the College in this
place, and the intelligence of his death will send a thrill
of sorrow through the hearts of all who knew hiin
whilst here, l'ossessing in a high degree those qualities
of character which never fail to command our regard—
kindness and warmth of feeling, an amiable and gener
ous disposition, gentleness of manners, combined with
integrity of principle and manliness of deportment, he
was beloved by his associates and resjiected by all with
whom he eatne in contact. His talents and acquire
ments w ere of no ordinary character. Whilst he ranked
high in his class as a scholar, as a writer, and especially
of poetry, he had no superior. He excelled in the delin
eation of true feeling and emotion—in the natural and
touching expression of genuine sentiment. Ills intimate
Acquaintances will long remember the sweetly melan
choly strains in which he mourned the loss of some friend
who had been snatched away, as he himself has now
been, by an early death. Although be was peculiarly
modest and unobtrusive, his merit was soon appreciated,
and he was selected by his Society as their favorite re
presentative in the literary contest oflbe College, and in
the event proved himself fully w orlhy the high estima
tion In which he was held A: the graduation of bis
class, he delivered, by the honorary appointment of the
Faculty, a poem, which bore the marks of true genius,
and confirmed the bright hopes in regard to his future
course which his previous performances had excited.
After leaving College he returned to hut home in the
lalley of the Juniata, and commenced the studies of the
legal profession, lie hud nearly completed the course
requisite for admission to the bar, when declining health
compelled him to relinquish his pursuits. Hoping that
change of scene and the excitement of a journey would
reT >re Ins failing strength, lie accompanied a friend to
th: West Wherever he went the noble qualities of his
disposition gained for him the love of those in whose so
ciety he was cast The transient intercourse of a travel
ler among s'rangers w is so flu lent to secure for him their
affectionate regard, and tnanv whose acquaintance with
him was thus ca-ual, will receive with heartfelt sorrow
the melancholy tidings uf Ins death Many of them will
doubtless < all to mind with peculiar interest the language
w hi. h lu- so kindly and earnestly addressed to them, con
ceriinig their soul's salvation His modest and gentle
manner—the sweet and noji-ical tones of his voice—the
in ltd expression of bis countenance, constrained gven the
most indifferent to religion to listen with attention and
rcqu.-ct, while he talked to them on that subject, on .
which his own feelings had become so deeply interested, i
After an absence of everi months lie returned to his 1
home, apparently in restored health, but it was soon •
plainly manifest that he had returned hotue hut to die.
Although he had been travelling through a section of ;
country where ilie cholera was raging, and had seen one
and another stricken down at Ins side by that fttal epi
demic, it pleased the Lord to spare his life throughout his
journey and bring bini back to be soothed and cheered in
his dung hours by the presence and affectionate atten- ;
turns of dt-votedly attached parents and friends. Me had
been with Ins relatives hut a lew days, when his sickness
laid him on the bed of death Here it was that tiie gen
uineness and strength of his faith in Christ were most
strikingly displayed. No murmur nor complaint es aje i
ed Ills lip . in all his suffering, but He patiently submitted
to his Heavenly Father's will He endeavored to coin
f>art his Humming friends by reminding them that it was
the l.ord who gave and the Lord who taiceth away—that
he could not but do right and that ever blessed should he
Ins name During his whole sickness his mind remained
clear and unclouded, anil h- enjoyed much communion
with God, in fervent and eloquent prayer When the
last moments of his life had come, peaceful and calm,
without a struggle and apparently without pain, he
breathed the dying praver of Stephen, "l.ord, receive my !
spirit," and like Rlcphen "fell asleep in Jesus."
•' May we die the death of the riglueous, and may our last
end be like his.''
His body lies in the Cemetery at I.ewistown, in a spot
pointed out by himself to a friend, previous to liis sick- |
ness. It is in tiie midst ol'a clump of trees, near the wa- ,
ler's brink He selected this retired place, ns he said,
that when his friends visited Ins grave,they might heat
the flowing stream murmuring forth a ceaseless requiem
Thou art gone, but shall not be forgotten until the ma
ny hearts that now mourn thine end are cold and lifeless
with thee iri the grave. He who now offers this feeble
tribute to thy memory, will ever "remember sweetly" j
tin- 1 ist liii< sof poetry you ever penned—
" That upon earth there were true hearts like thine.
And in the heavens, there is a gracious God."
