should have seen our camp in the morning.
The ground we were on was very sandy,
sloping towards the river. Some of the
men slept two on a blanket, which was
spread on the ground, and one blanket lor
a cover, and when they awoke in the
morning they found the blankets they had i
spread on the ground completely covered
with sand, which had been washed over
them by the rain. Others wrapt their
blankets tightly around their shoulders,
and took a sitting posture on their saddles.
I, for one, slept in a sitting position.
We started for home the next morning
after the engagement- Nothing transpired
on the route homeward worthy of mention,
water of the Kio Grande is of the
of coffee well creamed, but is as good

Thursday Morning, Nov, 13.
REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.
We observe that in Philadelphia, New
York, and other places it has been deter
mined to adhere to the existing Republi
can organization. We
propounded on all
"What is to be done?*'
who has been true to a union
sition, seems to feel that there is a
in this State which if combined would j
carry with it more certain defeat to the j
self-styled democracy than any other or- ;
ganization, and is willing to second any ;
project that will combine that strength.—
One of our cotemporaries proposes that j
the Americans and Republicans in this
Stale unite together under the name of j
American Republicans, hold county and ;
other meetings for the purpose of such an
organization, and call a State Convention ;
for the nomination of a candidate for Gov- j
crnor, Ac. There is some wisdom in this !
suggestion, though if such a State Con- i
vention should be called for the purpose !
of deliberating on the formation of a union
of this kind, care must be taken that the
wolves in sheep's clothing, who in the
last campaign played the part of traitors, i
be excluded from it. The difference be
tween genuine Americanism and true Re
publicanism is not so great as to prevent a ;
fraternization, for tune out of ten of each
are more or less imbued with the main
principles of both.
HON. JOHN M. CLAYTON, 11. S. Senator
frrm the State of Delaware, died last Sun- ;
day evening at his residence in that State,
after a long illness, the fatal termination of
which lias for some time been anticipated.
Mr. Clayton was a native of Delaware,
and has, throughout the greater part of a
life that had extended through nearly three
score years and ten, been intimately con 1
nected with the public affairs of that State, j
He has been elected three times to repre- j
sent her in the ( . S. Senate—first from 1
1829 to 1835, secondly from 1845 to 1851,
and the last time for the term beginning :
March 4, 1853, which would not expire !
until March 3, 1859. Mr. Clayton was
\
appointed Secretary of State by President j
Taylor, on the 6th of March, 1849, and !
continued to administer that office with
decided ability until General Taylor's j
death, July 9th, 1850, his resignation hav- ;
ing been sent in on the succeeding day.— ;
Mr. Clayton was an active politician of!
the conservative school. He was a warm. !
zealous and much valued friend of Henry |
Clay. In private and in public life, he
lias been highly esteemed by all parties, j
and although not a man of remarkable j
brilliancy, his death will be lamented by i
nil who admire patriotism, zeal and fidelity
to the best interests of the country.
By the death of Mr. Clayton the new
Democratic Legislature, of Delaware, will
have a second United States Senator to
elect.
Pennsylvania Jiailroad Company. —By au
advertisement it will bo seen that a second
dividend of four per cent has been declared
Au the stockholders, and those residing in this j
county are requested to call at the Banking I
House of Win. Russell, with their certificates, i
to receive their dividends. The object of this ■
is we believe to settle up the interest account,-!
some of which still remains uncalled for, and |
issue new certificates to tho holders of the j
stock.
Thisdividend, remarks the Lancaster Whig,
"proves what we have always said of this
road, that it is one of the most important and !
best managed roads in our country. Mr.
Thompson, its President, possesses many
qualifications not enjoyed by the Presidents
of railroads generally. With practical skill
he unites unusual foresight and prudence, >
and self-reliance that cannot bo moved by in
Buences that often lead men in such positions i
astray. He is seconded in his management \
by an able Board of Directors, and by able |
and energetic assistants. We do not believe
that there is another railroad corporation in j
our country so well managed in all its details
as the great avenue of trade between the At
lantic and the Great West, the pride and
boast of our State, and particularly of its
metropolis, the city of Philadelphia."
Arrival of Major Ben: Perley Poore at Bos
ton, tciih his Barrel of Apples. —Major Ben:
Perley Poore, the late Fillmore candidate for
Congress in tho Sixth District, arrived in Bos
ton on the 7th, with his wheel-barrow and
barrel of apples—which he had wheeled all j
the way from West Newbury, a distance of '
thirty six miles, in two and a half days. The
job was in fulfilment of a bet with Col. Bur
bauk, the Fremont State Senator elect, that ,
Fillmore would get more votes in Massachu- !
setts than Fremont. The Major, wheeling
his apples, was escorted up State street about
2 o'clock, by the Fillmore Clubs of Boston .
and Cliarlestown, a military company and a
mounted cavalcade of citizens. The novelty
of the performance collected many thousands
of the people, and the Major was greeted with
tremendous and tumultuous applause on all
sides, lie delivered the apples to Col. Bur
bank on the step 9 of the Tremont House,
when both gentlemen delivered congratulato
ry speeches, mounted on the barrel. Ten
thousand people were preseut.
A Vile Coquette. —A piece of perfidy is re
lated of a bride at St. Joseph's, Mo., which
has happily not often a parallel. It seems
that two young men were addressing a young
belle up town, and that she smiled equally
upon both. At 9 a. m. one bridegroom was
made happy by her pledge of hand and heart,
jLidat 9 p. m. the other was made happy by
jr of her person. They fled at
tHHT and were wedded at Bloomington, just
miles distant, and continued on their
way to realms unknown.
JiayThe St. Paul (Min.) Pioneer, of the
23d ult., says:—"lmmense is the destruction
of property this year by fires in the woods, ;
and on the prairies and meadows. We hear j
the amount of hay consumed estimated at a
thousand tons. In the rear of this city, up
and down Rum river, all around Minnetonka,
through the Big AVoods, out about Glencoe
and Hutchison, and in parts of the Minneso- 1
ta Valley, the fires have done heavy damage; I
and the atmosphere over an extensive area
has been so smoky as to darken the sun."
LOCAL, AFFAIRE.
THE POOR HOUSE. —By a notice in another ;
column it will be seen that the directors in- ;
vite proposals for the Stewardship of the j
Poor House and separate proposals for rent- j
ing the farm on shares. The latter is tin- ;
doubtedly the correct course as regards the j
farm, but wo have some doubts as to the pre- I
priety of the former. We believe a far better |
plan would be to appoint some sympathizing, j
trustworthy and competent man to the stew- \
ardship, pay him him liberally enough to
make it the interest of himself and matron to
perform their duties faithfully, and we have
no doubt the Almshouse would soon become,
it ought to be, an asylum to the poor
and unfortunate. Their condition it is true j
is often the result of their own mismanage- j
mcnt and misdoings, but that is no reason I
why they should bo either neglected or treat- !
ed harshly. Were HE who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb—who causes the rain to |
fall on the possessions of the just and unjust j
—to judge us by the same standard we too ]
often judge the inmates of almshouses, there !
would be some fearful retributions where !
there is now fancied security.
ESCAPE. —Two prisoners, George Smith and
a colored man who had both been sentenced
to the penitentiary for three years, were con
fined in a cell of the new jail, and with the
aid of a chisel managed to break through the
brick wall on Monday night, and although
hobbled thus escaped. The jail still in an
unfinished state, and having once effected a
passage into the hall there was no further j
impediment to their flight. As no trace I
whatever of their whereabouts can be found,
it is strongly suspected that some outsiders
assisted both their escape and concealment.
Prof. Armes delivered lectures on
Memory in the Town Hall on Saturday and i
Monday evenings, and is now engaged in '
teaching a class under his system, which is j
said to be both new and interesting. Major
I Elbow thinks if the Professor will go about
1 town and teach a number to remember to
, pay their debts, he would be entitled to a
niche in the temple of public benefactors.
OYSTERS, <fcc. —John Albright, who has
thus far proved himself an excellent caterer
to epicureans, has titled up saloons for ladies
and gentlemen where they can discuss the
merits of bivalves, roasted, stewed or raw, at j
their ease. The first evening we get into !
Valley street, we shall give him a call, of' j
i course.
Jtey'The Court, at its session last week, j
i confirmed nisi au application for opening an j
i alley along Kishacoquillas creek, in the rear .
j of Elizabeth street, from belew the old brew- j
| ery to Butler's slaughter house. The report
! we believe recommends the filling up to be
done with cinder.

The counties yet to be heard from officially
j will very much reduce the present Democrat
ic majority. Of the 130,000 Union tickets
! polled, about 87,000 are for Fremont, and
j about 43,000 for Fillmore. Fremont will :
have a very large majority over the entire !
; Fillmore vote, Union and Straight.
The Philadelphia Bulletin of yesterday af- !
j ternoon says it has the official vote of 58 j
i counties in this State, which with six report- j
ed foot up as follows :
Buchanan, 225,904
Union, 200,202
Straight Fillmore, 25,909
Total opposition, 220,171
If this is correct, the combined opposition
' vote beats Buchanan 207, and makes his ma
| joritv over the Union ticket 25,702.
j There are considerable discrepancies, in
! some counties, between the Fremont and Fill
! more Union votes and the total Union vote as
i returned. So far as we can ascertain it, the |
Union vote is divided about as follows: Fre- ;
| mont 142,000, Fillmore 55,000. The entire j
vote of the State will exceed 400,000, which j
is 37,000 more than the entire vote at the Oe* !
tober election.

Hollowafs Pills unquestionably the most
j efficacious remedy in the Union fur Asthmat
ic Complaints and Coughs.—The number of
j cures these wonderful Pills have effected in
ali parts of the Union, more particularly in
1 cases of asthma of long standing, and coughs,
leave no doubt upon the mind of all who
have used them, that they surpass anything
1 of the kind ever made known; by a persever
ance with this admirable remedy, the sufferer
| is quickly restored to health, after every oth
er means have tailed; and it is a truth beyond
] dispute, that there is no case 6f bilious dis
order, or liver complaints, but that will
quickly yield to the powers of this mighty

AN ASTONISHING MAN,
Famed Throughout the World. —New York i
and London are now the great manufacturing
depots for Ilolloway's Pills and Ointment.—
From No. 80 Maiden Lane, this city, and No. 1
244 Strand, London, are sent forth, daily, ;
millions of boxes and pots of these inestima
ble medicines. The heavy duty imposed by
our government upon patent medicines, and
the large and constantly increasing sale of
j Ilolloway's Pills and Ointment in this coun- \
i try, determined their proprieter to make this I
city his residence. Our republican system of j
government is also in harmony with the pre-
I dilections of Professor llollowav; and though
j Kings aud Emperors have conferred upon
i him honors and especial favors, these will
never be so gratifying to him as the grateful
hearts of millions of free citizens, who with- j
j out any endorsement of sovereign authority,
. fieely patronize his celebrated remedies for
! the prevention and removal of disease.
As a member of the medical faculty, liav- i
j ing long witnessed the inefficiency of the pro
fession in curing disease, and being familiar i
with the errors and follies of the profession, j
we feel it an imperative duty to acquaint the
American public with the arrival of this dis- :
i tinguiahed physician in our city. His fame,
| in a measure, preceded him to our shores, but i
i the extent of the good be has done in the i
' world has never yet been proclaimed to the i
| American public. Great as his reputation is,
! it is destined to increase far beyond that !
! which ever adorned the character of any man ;
j whose profession was that of healing the j
I sick. i
We shall embrace other occasions to cx
i plain to the American people (he system, the ;
theory and mode of cure adopted by Professor
i Holloway. His Pills and Ointment, the one 1
! taken internally, and the other applied exter
' nally, act in harmonious conjunction, and if;
! his directions are followed, will eradicate ev- j
| cry disease incident to man in all climes.— I
I They purify and cleanse the body, and restore
| healthy action in every organ. Our space
: wiil not permit us to say more at this time
. respecting this distinguished man and his
| celebrated remedies. He has one ambition,
j and it is an honorable one. He wishes to
have the world for a psitient; and he will sue
: oeed in his desire.
It is our object to address the American
public in a series of articles, showing conciu- !
-ively that, in the whole history of medical
science, no medicines hare ever been offered J
for ilieir use which are so efficacious inrestu- ;
ring health and preventing disease as those
iof ProfeSsor Holloway. In tiiis series of ar
; tides we shall necessarily explain much ef
the human system, and those physiological
laws of life controlling our bodies, both in •
health and disease. The American public
are sufficiently intelligent to judge of their
interests, and it is no longer in the power of
these styling themselves regular physicians I
to conceal from them important truths eon- .
corning their health.— Xic York Citizen.
