The Mercantile Appraiser's I.ist—an Ad ministration Notice—a runaway Apprentice. Foster and his Friends. The Lewistown Democrat copies a para graph from the Clinton Democrat, alleging that the extracts we gave a few weeks ago : were forgeries. All we have to say is, that if so they are very curious ones, and a wholesale denial will hardly answer.— We omitted a few paragraphs from the \\ atcliman's article because they evidently had more reference to those who voted for Gen. Cameron than Foster, and shall there fore feel obliged to either of the above Democrats if they point out which para graphs we published were forgeries. That the democratic papers at the time denoun- ■ ced Gen. Foster, there is and can be no doubt. For instance, what did the editor of the Lewistown Democrat mean bv' the following, which we find in that paper of January 15, 1857: " An fur Gen. Foster and his friends, al- they did not vote for the opposition candidate, their course, in declining to go in to eaueus, and subsequently refusing to sup port Col. Forney, was extraordinary and un wise, to say the least of it; and thus far no reasonable explanation has been made. We I forbear, however, expressing THE IV PIG- i NATION WIIICII TIIEIR COURSE HAS, INSPIRED, until the circumstances arc fully developed. < 01. John \Y. Forney, although stricken down for the present, through the treachery of a few unworthy members of his own party, as this day stronger in the affections of the people than ever before, and we trust Mr. ' Buchanan will rebuke the traitors and vindi- ' cute the party by placing him in a post, better ' and more profitable than the one out of which f ite was defrauded. His qualifications, his services, and his personal worth are all ac knuwleged, and it is due to him, as well as to the dignity uf the Democratic party that he should be fairly provided for. Such has been the course of the Demo cratic party heretofore ; and it should not be . departed fruin now. Y\ hen Gov. Findley was by unholy means, lie was sent to the L. S. Senate; so to Guv. Bigler; and the i same course was pursued towards Mr. Y r an Buren and Judge Campbell. Not one of tnesc precedents so strong an ap peal to the of the party as the present case. YY'e hope, therefore, the Pres ■•dent elect, when he takes his scat, will give Mr. Forney the position he so richly deserves, and which the Democratic party is anxious to see him occupy. It is not for us to name the place to which he is entitled. Suffice to ' say. in our opinion HE CANNOT BE PL V - CED TOO IIIGI1." A Southern Bully Nonplussed. Almost from the first week of the pres ent session of Congress a nigger democrat from \ irginia who figures under the name of Roger A. Pryor, has been endeavoring to keep up his name as a professed duelist, or would be murderer, by insulting remarks or conduct towards republican mem bers. Last week he took the liberty ol erasing from the reporters notes remarks which had been added by Mr. Potter of Wisconsin, and then iu bis usual taunting manner brought the subject before the House. Mr. Potter plainly t<#3d him that no gentleman would be guilty of such low lifed work, whereupon Pryor wanted to know whether he would stand by what he said? Immediately thereafter, the valiant Virgin ran sent a challenge to Mr. Potter, knowing full well at the time that the laws of Wis consin would disfranchise that gentleman lor accepting such challenge, while Virginia in effect recognizes no law against dueling. He however waked up the wrong passen ger, as the following proceedings will show. It is understood that after Mr. Potter re plied to Mr. Pryor's first note, that he would receive any message that might he sent to him in the District, Mr. Pryor ask ed trim it he would aceept a challenge, to which Mr. Potter replied that he would inform him whenever a challenge reached him. Mj. Pryor then sent him a challenge, to which Mr. Potter replied," referring him to Col. Lander to make the necessary ar rangements. The terms proposed by Col. Lander to T. P. Chrisman were that Mr. Potter, though disclaiming allegiance t > the code, would fight Mr. Pryor in any place, in doors or out, in the District, with Lowie knives. This was declined on the ground that the weapons were barbarous, and not usual among gentlemen. To this Col. Lander replied that Mr. Potter detest ed the whole system of dueling as barbar ous and inhuman, but being called to ac ,7 count for the exercise of free speech on the floor of the House, he consented, not accustomed to the usual weapons of • the duelist, to meet him in any way that ■ would place them on equal terms, and to name the time, place, and weapons; but as the weapons named by Mr. Potter, through 1 Col. Lander, were objected to, Col. Lander, 1 without 31 r Potter's knowledge, tendered himself to Mr. Pryor without restriction, which was also declined by Mr. Pryor, on the ground that he had no quarrel with Col. j j Lauder. The chivalrous Pryor ended this matter ' by publishing an acceptance of Mr Potter s terms which wa3 not delivered! We think after this exhibition of his prowess, and t the fact that 3lr. NeLon of Tennessee a j few months ago gave him more cause for a challenge than Mr. Potter had, and from which he backed out, lie had better retire from the post of chief bully. j Among the surprising things in all these ; transactions, is, that although there are severe laws in the District against sending, carrying, or receiving a challenge, no ef fort is made by the officers to put a stop to ; it. If principals and seconds were dealt with according to law, they would all soon be in the penitentiary. The Covode Investigating Committee. George Plitt, late Cleric of the Circuit Court of the Ciiited States at Philadel- I pliia, in his examination before the Com mittee. said that as Treasurer of the Peun- I sylvania Ftate Central Committee of the ! Democratic party in 1850, he disbursed ; seventy thousand dollars. He was very I oblivious as to most of the items of expen diture, having burnt his books of account ! as soon as he knew that his old friend James Buchanan was certainly elected.— His testimony was, however, very rich, and makes sad work with the Administration. ! James Vandyke, of Philadelphia, tes tified that he was still United State.s Dis trict Attorney for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania, not having had official noti fication of his removal, although he under stood that the name of his successor had been nominated to the Senate. He be lieved the cause of his removal was his re fusal to combine with other Federal office holders in Philadelphia in their manage ment of inter-party politics, although the President put it upon other grounds—to wit, that the personal relations between the Collector and the District Attorney must be preserved in order that the public duties should be properly conducted. Mr. Vandyke stated that all the public duties, between the different officials and himself, had necessarily to be conducted by corres pondence, since, unless it was so conduct ed, the successors in office could not know the condition of any cause pending; and that his political differences with the col lector never interfered, either on his part or on the part of the collector, with the proper discharge of official duties. Mr. Covode enquired whether the witness knew of any combinations among the Fed eral office-holders in the State of Pennsyl vania, to control party politics, and wheth er any removals had taken place because collector's subo dinates would not obey the dictation of the collector'! Mr. Vandyke replied that he had always considered that there was a thorough com bination among Mr. Buchanan's office-hold ers in Philadelphia, with a few exceptions, for the purpose of controlling inside party politics in that city, and that many per sons have been removed because thev would not obey the dictation of the collec tor. Potter and Tryor have been arrested and given security to keep the peace. i here are 105 soldiers of the Revolution still living. The youngest of them 19 89 years old.

Stewart, of Missouri, has been hung and burned in effigy in Independence, Mo., for vetoing the free negro bill. ihe Clearfield Journal says that on the fifth inst., Mr. Robert A. Hull, of Unionville, captured a young bear near the plank road, about a mile and a half north of Julian Fur nace. He " bagged'' the " varmint" and car ried it home alive. A man named Samuel P. Smith, for a long time a resident of Tyrone, was arrested in that place, a few days ago on a Warrant charg ing him with forgery. He was taken to Mil ton in custody of the officer. On the sth inst., a't Lumber City, in Clear, field Co., a man by the nfime of James Hock ecber'ry shot another called " devil" John lhompeon, killing him instantly. Hocken berry was arrested and lodged in jail, to await his trial. So say tho Journal. Proceeding's of Congress. The bill admitting Kansas into the L n ion passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday of last week by a vote of 134 yeas to 73 nays—more than two-tlisrds of the patent democrats having voted against it. The bill, as passed, declares the State of Kansas admitted into the Union under the Wyandotte Constitution, on an equal footing with the original States, in all respects whatever. The boundaries begin at that point on the western boun dary of the Missouri where the 37th parallel ! of north latitude crosses the same ; thence west on the said parallel to the 25th merid ian of longitude west of Washington; thence north on that meridian to the 40th parallel of latitude; thence cast on the said parallel to the western boundary of : Missouri; thcncc south with the western boundary of that State to the place of be ginning: Provided, That nothing con tained in the Constitution of Kansas shall be so construed as to impair the rights ot person or property now pertaining to the Indians in the Territory, according to the exist ng treaties, nor shall their Territory be included with the State until the said tribe shall signify their assent thereto. Until the next general apportionment, the State of Kansas shall be entitled to one member of the House of Representatives. The remainder of the bill contains the j usual land provisions and conditions. Among those who perished in the Hungar ian was the Rev. James Stuart, a Young di vine of great ability and promise, whose un- ; timely demise is much lamented. He was j the son of Mr. Lewis Stuart, commission merchant in Glasgow. The office holders convention, alias demo cratic, will meet at Charleston next week. Among the politicians from this State who will figure as delegates, are Arnold Plurn iner, Isreal Painter. Gen. John Ross, and a number of others who understand canal nav igation. A man named Wood, for using some lan guage relative to the Johr.

Morton, a tavern keeper, deliberate ly shot \\ m. Riley, a young man, in Alexan dria, Kentucky, on Monday.

We learn from the Cumberland (Md.) pa 1 pers that the recent flood in that section was the greatest that has been known since the year 1810.

God in His boundless lovo looked down Upon His garden fair. Ar.d His omniscient eye beheld A bud of promise rare; Alas ! the storms of life, he said, Will nip this hud, I see. But in the eden of my love, The flower shall bloom for me. Far in the shining courts above, A lovely flower is seen. And in arisen Saviour's love 'Twill ever bloom, I ween. Then weep not. though thy darling child, Has left this house of clay, She has but gone at God's command, To live in endless day: O. weep not parents for your child, For peaceful is her rest. Her spirit now in sweetest bliss, Sleeps calm in Jesus breast. At New Oxford, Adams county, Pa., on i Thursday morning, April sth, Mrs. ELIZA | BETH, wife of John Barnitz, aged GO years, ! 1 month and 8 days. The death of this estimable lady has left a void in the community in which she so long resided not easily replaced. The residences j of the poor and needy, the wayfarer bv the roadside, will sadly miss the kindly heart that was ever ready to minister to their wants, ! both temporal and spiritual, for go long as she was able to be about no call of this kind i was ever made in vain. Although long suf fering with rheumatic pains, and towards the j close of her eventful life sadly afflicted, her thoughts centered altogether in that future which " eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, | neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive of the glory which is in reserva tion for those who love God." Well hath it been said " there is but a breath of air and a beat of the heart, betwixt this world and the ! next. When the good and lovely die, then I the memory of their deeds like the moon beams on the stormy sea, lights up our dark- I ened hearts and lends to the surrounding gloom a beauty so sad, so sweet, that we would not, if we could, dispel the darkness that environs it." So has it been with the deceased, who leaves the partner of her life and many warm and devoted friends, for a while longer to sojourn in this temporary abi ding place, but who, while life remains, will : not cease to remember her as one whose lamp was trimmed with oil. Be it their aim to em ulate her virtues and Christian resignation, so that when their eyes shall close to scenes of earth, and the body yield the spirit to Adonai's judgement and mercy, we all may be ready with the " Apaen" that ended her 'mortal career. ! ,Tkou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb} | The Savior has passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of his love is thy guide through the gloom. Thou art gone to the grave, we no longer behold thee. Nor tread the rough paths of the world by thy side; But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee, i And sinners may hope since the Savior hath died. I LOCAL AFFAIRS. Pennsylvania Railroad.
