Gen. ISuiler a Bariiliurjic'S’.''
During the List war with Fugland. Gen. Bi'td.ji
performed one ol ,lhfi noblest deeds of herm-m on
record. In one ot the severest battles y, iih the
British and Indians on the Xorth "Western tmutier
a large number of the savages had touud tlu-ii wa;
into a limn, from which they poured a deadly lire
upon the American troops. The American t om
nia nder said - that Hen a must he hum!, and in
quired -who would volunteer to perUum iT- peril
ous task. " After a long pause, the vuulhtul Butler
gallantly stepped forward, and. providing him-eh
.with a torch, proceeded to the Barn amid a shower
y»f bullets from the rides ol the Indian-- and soon
fired it.so completely as to envelope k in.lhime?.
and returned unharmed to the American lines, when
every spectator considered his death inevitable!
Tlfe firing of that Barn deprived t-lte enemy of his
strongest position, and soon gave the victory to the
Americans. Gen. Butiei' is, therefore, the right
sort of a Barnburner—he burns the Barns occupied
by his country's enemies—and he is in every other
respect a man Worthy ol the admiration and con
fidence of-his countryman! He and his great asso
ciate oh the Democratic ticket, are bound to be elec
ted by an" overwhelming vote !
Pen nsylvaxj a Rail Road.—The Company
which has this great work in charge appear to be
pushing it with considerable energy. The contracts
are all progressing as rapidly as is consistent with
- economy, and the road will be put in action as far
as Lewistown during the ensuing winter. The line
to Huntingdon will be ready lor the rails early next
summer. Tlie light work between Huntingdon and
Hollidaysburg will be contracted for in time lo be
completed as soon as the points now being com
menced are ready. This arrangement lor the work
has been made in order to bring capital expended
into activity with as,little loss of interest as possible.
It is expected that the road will be ready to Hun
tingdon iu the summer following the- present, and
to the Portage by the opening of navigation the
spring.
Pithy isn Sensible.—A Georgian in N. York,
writing to the Macon Journal, on tlie subject of
Federal prospects, concludes as iollows: 1 would
say something about the prospects of Gen. Scott,
but fearing Marcy lias already said too much, 1
will take the liberty of being silent.'
Ax Accession. —The Hon John W. Crockett,
formerly Representative in Congress from Tenn
essee, has been associated editor of the N. Orleans
National. • *
letter from Andrew Jackson to
| Lewis Cass.
Not the least gratifying feature in the nomina
tions made at Baltimore is the fact that both Cass
and Butler enjoyed in an unbounded degree the
confidence and esteem of ANDREW JACKSON,
andlihat their election to the Presidency will per
petuate in the National'governrnent the principles
and policy of that illustrious Patriot. In lbfll,
President Jackson appointed (Jon. Cass .Secretary
of War, from which he was only relieved in I N'T,
by tbe mission toJfruiice. Here In* gained iiiip'U
hbijble laurels by bis emux' on the quintuple treaty,
and by bi* celebrated pamphlet on the Hiifltt oj

so late as the month 'of .1 illy, 1S l.'i. lie addressed
the ifollowiiii* h'Uer to (fen. Cass, in acknowledge

i-. characteristic of the old Hero—frank.'generous,
and warm-hearted, even to enthusiasm. Huzza,

My Dear Sir: — l have the pleasure to acknow
ledge your verv Iriendlv letter of the 25th of May
last. It reached iiie in due course of mail ; hat
.such were my debility and afflictions, that I have
been prevented from replying to it until now ; and
even now it i.s with great difficulty that I write. In
return fo’’v our kind expressions in regard to mvi.ell.
1 have to remark, that I shall over recollect, mv
dear General, with great satisfaction. the relations,
both private- and oiiicinl, which subsisted between
ns,. during the greater part of mv-administration.
iiavuig full confidence in your abilities and repub
lican pr.nc.pics, I invited you to mv Cabinet, and I
can never forget with whaf discretion and talents
you met those great and delicate questions which
were brought before vou whilst’ you presided ou-r
the; Department of War, which entitled you to mv
thajiks, and will be ever .recollected with the most
bvcily feelings of friendship by me.
But what has endeared you to.everv
e:ui was the noble stand which vou took as our
minister at Paris, against the 'quintuple treatv, and
which, by \ our talents, energy, and fearless respon
sibility, defeated its ratification bv French—a treatv
intended bv Great Britain to change onr international
•law,--, make hm mistre. s of the seas aiid destroy the
national iudepcmh nee, not onlv oi’onrcounlrv, but
of' ail Knrojm, mid enable her to become the tvrant

our nah'nnn! honor ami injurious to our nali-uial
ty. l lni n, indeed rw emi "lit have hung our harps
upon the willow.-., and resigned dur national inde
pendence to Great Britain. But, I repeat, to vonr
talents, energy, ami tearless responsibility, we are
indebted for too shield thrown over us from the im
pend mil danger wincli the ratification of the quintuple
(••oatv by France would have brought upon us.—
For this act. the thanks of every true American.am!
the applause of every true republican are yours:
and for ihir. noble act 1 tender win mv thanks.
I admired t)r>. course of Dr. Linn in the Senate,
in urging his Oregon buT; and 1 hope his energy
will carry it into a law at the next session of Con
gress. They will speak to England a language
which she will understand—that we \vill not-.uhtnii
to be negotiated out t-f our territorial rights hereafter.
Receive assurances m mv friendship ami esteem.

Shobtesisg the Mississippi.— The process of
shortening a river, may appear something hew un
der the sun r but is has actually been accomplished
in the Mississippi, one of the largest rivers in the
United States. During a recent freshet the river
made a bolt" through its banks at Raccdurei,
where there was a considerable turn, and took a
straight course tor the nearest part of the stream,
cutting off twenty-eight miles in the length of the
stream. The largest class of steamboats pass
tlu'ough up and down without any difficulty. It is
about four hundred yards wideband the banks con
stantly caving.i _

Strange SnciPE.—A week or two since, a man
named Bruce, living near Cincinnati, Ohio, com
mitted suicide in the tollowing manner:
” He went to the church-yard and dug his grave
beside his wife, who had been buried some sixteen
mouths before. Having procured a cofiin under
some pretence, lie conveyed it to - his destination
unobserved. He then took off his clothes, except
his shirt, put on a night cap, and laid himself in the
cofiin winch he had previously placed in the newlv
maue grave, with a loaded pistol in it. He now
drew on the cover of the cofiin, and then placing
the pistol to his right temple, and fired it. It is
supposed lie died instantly. There was no doubt
that Bruce was crazy, as lie had been partially so
since Ins wife's death.* 1

"VVTIIAT has caused this great commotion our

Lozenges, the lame of which has spread froinMaine
to Georgia, and from the Atlantic to the Rocky
M ountains-—all over the land wherever a mother
has a noisy and troublesome child Dr. ShermanV
Worm Destroyer is enquired after and resorted to—
the trouble is removed, the child becomes endurable,
anti whenever a child is suffering from worms when
it gets a taste of the Lozenge, and feels the relief
it produces it begins to cry for more. The very
worms themselves kick up adust about them when
ever Sherman’s Cough Lozenges are known, no
medicine is so earnestly sought after, because it
costs but little money and gives great relief even in.
the most inveterate cases. Rev. Mr. De Forrest.
Rev. Mr. Eastmond, Rev. Mr. Streeter, and a host
of persons of the first respectability have given in
their testimony -concerning them, and they say
there, is no medicine like them, and the Camphor
Lozenges are equally surprising, who ever heard of
the most severe cases of headache being cured in
a few. minutes. Yet sucli is the fact when Sherman’s
Camphor Lozenges are used. Palpitations also are
quieted, nervous diseases and depressions of spirits
removed, and affections of the bowels permanently
cured, and Rheumatism, Pain and weakness in the
back, chest, side, legs, arms, and various parts of
the body is cured by Sherman’s Poor Man’s Plaster
which is not only a friend to the poor but also to
the rich, and as it is only 12£ cents is within the
reach of all. For sale by
