Lancaster, July 25, 1848. Death of Francis R. Shunk, This afflictive event, expected for weeks’ has at last transpired. On the evening of Thursday-last, this great and good map resigned his spirit, to his Creator, in the full hope of a blissful immortality beyond the grave. •At about 11 o'clock, on "Wednesday night, his hands and arms began to grow cold. By Thursday morning, death's icy hand had been laid upon his lower extremities. Stimulants proved unavailing. By slow, but sure advances, the cold King advanced to his heart, anil at a few minutes before 7 o’clock, Thursday even ing, his spirit was released. His family ahd rela tives, the heads of departments, his physicians, his spiritual advisers, and a few personal friends, were v present at the final moment. His last words were addressed to his weeping wife -Don't fnt , Jane 1 am anxious for the end." : Francis R. Skunk .enjoyed a degree of popu larity among the people of Pennsylvania which has never been surpassed. Of the many distinguished men who have graced the Commonwealth, no one was ever more universally beloved. His de&th, although not unexpected, will cast a pro. found gloom over the public mind. To see one so strong in the affections of his fellow'-men, with an * intellect so well trained, a judgment so mature, a purpose so pure and upright, gradually wasting from incurable disease, and this at a moment when ’ the highest interests of the State had been com mitted to his charge—were circumstances well! i calculated to overwhelm the mind, and fill it with emotions of the deepest sorrow. Great consolation, however, there js in the thought, that our departed Iriend had been permit ted to reach lull-meredian oJ his fame, and that a general acknowledgment of his public and private worth has followed him to the tomb. It is rather for ourselves, than for him, that we are summoned to the offices of grief. He has escaped frpm ar duous cares and trying .duties, whilst we are left behind to mourn the loss of his services proud epitaph! thus to be lamented, and it is not exaggerated praise to say, that the memory of Francis R. Skunk will long be enshrined in the hearts of Kis fellow-citizens as that of the truly good man, who was called hence at the moment of his brightest reputation and of his highest usefulness! Beautifully have his life and death exemplified the lines of the poet: “ So live, that when thy sununons conies to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in .the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his coucli About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” Governor Skunk was buried on Sunday last, ac- cording to his own request, at the Trappe, Mont gomery county, his place of nativity. The funeral procession, starting from Royer's Ford, was l£ mile in length, numbering IS7-eamages. It is es timated that from 5 to fi.OOO persons attended the funeral. The funeral sermon, was preached by Rev. Mr. Miller, stated pastor of the Lutheran congrega* tion at the Trappe. Mr. M. stated that Governor Shujlk was born on the 7th of Aug., 1788. near the church-yard, and had taught an English and German school within a lew yards of the spot where his remains then rested. Gov. S.. conse. quently died within a few days of the completion of his 00th year. After further exercises, the coffin was deposited in the vestibule—then opened, that the people who had known him in life so well and respected him so much, might have an opportunity of viewing him in death. A continuous stream ol people, for more than an hour, entered at one door and passed out at the opposite, to pay their last re gards to their late respected Governor. The Brave Volunteers, We are proud to state, that Lancaster lias not been behind any of her sister cities in extending a cordial “ Welcome Home ” to those chivalric spirits, who have just returned from the high mission of fighting their countrytis battles in a foreign land— and who, under the blazing sun of Mexico’s tropi cal shores—upon the highest mountain passes—on arid plains, and.in stone-begirt cities—have planted their country's flag in triumph, returning with re covered Peace as among their proudest trophies. The company first to be greeted were the '• Siork ton Jlrtillei’ists” of Mauch Chunk, Capt. Miller, who came on Tuesday. They were met at Diller ville, by an escort, composed of the Mayor and others, and marched to the depot, where a colla tion was in readiness for them. They departed with the same train, leaving our citizens no time for fur ther displays of their gratitude. Saturday, however, was the gala-day—and the old city has rarely presented a more thrilling spec tacle. A dense mass of citizens crowded our streets, to receive the Ist Pennsylvania Regiment, on their way to Philadelphia. Amidst the roar of cannon, the merry peal of bells, the shrill fife and spirit-stirring, drum, the waving of handkerchiefs, and every possible demonstration of joy, they en tered the city. At the depot, in the presence ot assembled thousands, they were welcomed in an eloquent and patriotric address by Hon. Ellis Lewis, which was eloquently responded to by Gen. Patterson, Col. Wynkoop, Lieut. Col. Black, and Capt. Small. Before repairing to their several quarters, they marched through our principal streets, attracting the wonder of thousands. They remained here over Sunday, and at 3 o'clock on Monday morning started for Philadelphia—where a most brilliant welcome was in store for them. Honor and Gratitude be lorever the portion ot the brave men, whose deeds of bravery and cour age have ended in a blaze of glory this just and un avoidable war. JCrA r QABS AND Butler Hickory Pole, cut in 'the woods of Moore Connell, Esq., in Leacock, was raised on Saturday, in front ofp. Snyder's tav ern, corner of East King and Middle sts. Speeches were delivered in the evening by the gallant Capt. Small and by Col. Florence of Philadelphia. . Fatal Accident.— On Saturday last, a son oi Mr. John Baumiller, of this city, aged about 10 years, was so badly injured by a car running over one of his legs, that he died from his injuries on Sunday morning. JP"* Among the returned from Mexico, looking .well, is our townsman, T) r . A. Cassidat, who in Ris office of Assistant Surgeon has won golden opinions from the soldiers. JO-Our City Councils Wfwith commendable propriety, appropriated *350, to defray the ea pense of receiving the volunteers. Onr Choice for Governor. Prior to the assembling of the State Convention, we hold that every Democrat possesses the un doubted right to urge hia personal preference, by all honorable and proper means. When this is done, calmly and dispassionately, without resorting to abuse of rival candidates, it is productive of no harm, but often of much good.. Free inquiry and free discussion are among the important elements of Democratic success, and ho aspirant for popular favor should hesitate to subrhit himself to this wholesome ordeal. As an humble laborer in the good cause—solici tous only for the perpetuation of its principles, through the agency of good and true men—we have likewise our view of the future, and no false diffidence shall deter us from their prompt and un restrained utterance. On -a survey of the entire ground, both of personal and sectional •competition, we have reached the conclusion, that ho name would be more acceptable as the Democratic can didate for the office of Governor, than that ot Col. WILLIAM BIGLER of Clearfield county. We accordingly' this week raise his name' to our mast head, only to be lowered when commanded thereto by the authoritative voice of the State Convention. If geographical claims be consulted, certainly no section of the State is so well entitled to this honor as the ,l glorious North, which from time immemo rial has greeted us with an annual avalanche of Democratic majorities. On the score of personal and political merit, too, no man comes better re commended than Col. Bigleh. He is by profession a printer—having commenced his political career, at the early age of 19, as editor the Clearfield Democrat. He is the architect of his'own fame and fortune, having risen in the world without the ad-j ventitious aids of family wealth and influence. In 15?4lhewas nominated as the Democratic candi date lor the State Seriate in the district now repre sented by the acting Governor Johnson, and he car ried it by,-31941 majority! In his own county, where the Democratic majority is usually only from 1.9 u to 2uri, the vote stood : for Bigler 1400 —against him 1! Such is the endorsement he brings from his immediate friends and neighbors. Col. Bigler's moral character is not only pure and unspotted, but he is beloved by all who know him for his exemplary and unobtrusive' virtues.— He is in the meredian of life, with his physical and intellectual faculties in their fullest vigor. As a Democrat, he is sound, reliable and consistent, free from faction of every hue and kind, and would faithfully prosecute to completion the reforms so well begun by Governor Skunk. It is our honest belief, that if nominated on the 30th of August, he bear our time-honored flag forward to a certain and brilliant triumph. C'ass ! BuTLF.n ! and Bigler ! Why there’s a befit ting euphony in these watchword?, that will send a thrill of horror through the domain of whiggery. trom which it will never recover. It is a flag, rich in the resources of popular enthusiasm-, and redolent of victory. Tribute to SliunU. A meeting of the Young Mens Democratic Asso ciation ot the city of Lancaster was held at their hall, on the evening of Friday, July 21. John W. Jackson in the chair. William Wilet, secretary. On motion, George F. Meeser. E. W. Hutted George,A. Miller, Washington Baker. H. B. Swarr M D. Holbrook and George W. McElroy w/xt ap pointed a committee on resolutions, after a brief absence, reported the following, jvhich were unanimously adopted: T. It having pleased the Divine Will,;to remove to ••another and a better world ' our State Executive, Francis R. Skunk, who by a long life of usefulness and patriotic devotion to the public service, had justly endeared himself to his grateful and admiring fellow-citizens—Be it. there fore, Resolved. That, in common with our republican triends, every where, we mourn the departure of FnANcis R. Skunk as an irreparable public loss, leaving n void which it will be difficult, from any resources of virtue and patriotism, to fill. Resolved. That whilst Fiiancis R. Skunk com bined in his character all the virtues of a fearless Patriot and enlightened Statesman, we class among his highest excellence his unbending devotion to the principles oj Democracy, of-which he was ever one oi the ablest, purest, firmest, and most consis tent advocates. Resolved. That we shall deem it cause of public felicitation r all our future State Executives treas ure the example of the lamented Ex-Governor, as affording, like that of the venerated Simon Snyder, a model fit for imitation. Kcsolvvil. That in manifestation of our profound respect lor the memory of the illustrious deceased, Tlall ol this Association be shrouded in mourn ing for the space of thirty days. Resolved. That a copy of the foregoing proceed ings, with the assurance of our sincere condolence, be transmitted to the bereaved members of the family. Rrsolved That Benjamin Cuampnets, Esq , be requested to deliver a Eulogy on the deceased, at a time and place to be hereafter designated. On motion ot James Boon, Esq., it was Resolved. 1 hat the church bells be tolled whilst the remain-; of the Ex-Governor pass through.the ci-ry- [Signed by the Officers.] Mr. Buchanan —the Governorship. From the Daily Pennsylvanian of Thursday. The able editor of the -York Gazette alludes to the contingency of the nomination of James Bu chanan for the Gubernatorial chair, and this, it will be seen, in terms of eulogy such as show the high sense of the merits of that wise and well poised statesman. He is right, however, in suppos ing that James Buchanan is not. and will not be, a candidate for this high position. Such, we know, has been his own invariable response to the numer Otis letters which have been addressed to him upon this subject—and such, we are sufficiently author ized to sav, is his unalterable decision. To the nu. merous Democratic journals that have suggested his name, we know it will be enough to say that, as he began, so will he close, with the present Na tional Democratic administration, the acts of which ire destined to shine upon the pages of history through all coming time. Grateful for the ardent md : devoted support of the Democracy of his na tive State, this distinguished Pennsylvanian has no desire to interfere with the aspirations of those able and well-tried gentlemen whose names are pressed in connection with the Gubernatorial office. PYom the Reading Democratic Press. Hon. John Ritter—declines! Among the names brought forward by the De mocracy to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of Francis R. Shunk, is that of the Hon. John Emitter, and we know of none that has been more favorably received or who would be more cheerful !y supported by the Democratic Party. We regret to see in the Saturday paper, that he positively de dines being a candidate. There are but few men in Pennsylvania, who do not know him as a firm, straight-forward democrat of the Shunk and Snyder school, one who has been the coadjutor and cotem porary of these great and good men, and who would carry out the letter, spirit, and principles of the Democratic party. Old Berks is rich in this material—her democracy are unswerving in the pursuit of right, and wherever a man is wanted to meet the crisis—or a majority needed to beat the enemy—the State looks to Old Berks to furnish the man and to do her duty. The name of Gen. Keim alone remains her choice, and upon no one could the Democracy of the Keystone unite with a great er majority than upon him. Raising the Flag. The Centre Democrat, the Brookville (Jefferson county) Democrat, the Lewistown True Democrat the Clearfield Banner and the Jersey Shore Republi can, have simultaneously hoisted the name of Col. Bigler for Governor. „ I The Aaronsburg Berichter, Democratic German paper, has also raised the Bigler flag.

Columbia (Lancaster Co.) Spy. Obituary. PIED.—On the lCth of April last, on board the sUip Gloriana, bound liom Calcutta to London, in the 36th year of her age, Mrs. CHRISTIANA M. SCOTT, wife of Rev. James L. Scott, Missionary at Futtehgurh, in Northern India, and daughter of the late Rev. W. F. Hocstosr of Columbia. Mrs. Scott was one of a little hand of missiona- ries who sailed for Northern India, from Philadel phia, on the 13th of October, 1838,. under the di ■'ction of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis jns. Endowed by nature with a mind of vigorous id superior cast, and great decision of character, id early devoted to God, she was eminently qual ?d for the arduous sphere she had selected. Long fore her departure to a foreign land, her labors long the destitute and neglected at home, gave lication of those traits of character which aftef irds led her to devote herself to the work of car ng the gospel of peace to the Heathen. Many idents will be remembered by those who knew ’ we N> which foreshadowed the career which she isequenlly marked out for herself, and which, so ig as health and strength lasted, she unshrinking : pursued. / Once satisfied ol' the call of duty, her resolution is piomptly taken. With a faith in the proVnises God which knew no wavering, with a,-fesigna n to his will which allowed no murrpfir, with a 1 devotion to his cause, in which there was no serve, she entered upon her course 7 with iinnuess 1 persevered unto the end zeal, he climate ol India, which 4ias proved so fatal the energies of so many American ladies, diu hot many years impair the .vigor of her constitution.: 2 was enabled to labo/ long and earnestly in the id she had chosen. \w her school, in her'family, deb was necessarily large, and in the assistance she rendered the gentlemen of the Mission in their translations intp'the language of the country, which she had speedily acquired, her energy and industry found a boundless sphere of action. But there is a limit power ol physical endurance which no zeal ca.ti extend: and in the winter of IS4G-7, the offejjf ot overtasked energies manifested itself in do?eases“of the lungs. Her physician prescribed an immediate change oi climate as absolutely necessary, prohibiting a longer residence in the plains of India us certain to prove fatal. She accordingly set out for Simlah. a missionary station on the Southern slope of the Himalah mountains, live hundred miles North-west ot Futtehgurh in March, 1840, where she spent the summer. Ihe sacrifice of selfish considerations, which characterized all her actions is evident in the circumstance that in this journey and residence at Simlah, she refused ’to draw her husband away from his labor to accompany her. It is a formid able journey for a lady to take alone,*' she writes to a friend, “ but many do it, and why should not I 1 home ol our brethren are disposed to blame Mr. Scott for allowing me*to go alone: but I think in this they forget their calling. Mr. Scott is in excellent health, and has a most important field of labor: and just because it would save us the trial of parting and be more pleasant to go as a family, where we could all enjoy the fine mountain air, is it his duty to desert his post 7 We think not.” An examination of the lungs at Simlah by a distin guished physician confirmed the opinion previously entertained of pulmonary disease, and, under his advice, she reluctantly determined to return to this cpuntry as the only means of prolonging .her life. Her health, however, continued to improve under the influence of the bracing air of the hills,.and she returned to Futtehgurg in October somuclfbet ter that her friends were induced to hope that she might live for many years. It was at first deter* mined that Mr. scott should accompany her home but finding herself so much improved in health and strength and unwilling to withdraw her husband from his important post until a substitute could be provided, with that spirit ot self-sacrifice, which has been before remarked she resolved’to make the formidable journey alone- Her excellent husband writer- to a friend •• 1 commit her to the care *bf God, who will take better care of her than I can do. I feel confident that he will raise up friends for her on the way and will bring her home to you in safety. You must not think, however, tha’t I send ;her unwilling to go. It was her own proposal and 'h still her own wish.” She sailed from Calcutta on the 29th of January l£4fc. in the British ship Gloriana for London, with two of her children, little girls of eight and six years, and a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Freeman, a brother missionary. Up to the time of her sail ing her symptoms continued to improve, and it was supposed that the sea voyage would do much to wards her recovery. Her triends were confident that she would reach this country in the present month with confirmed strength ; but the insidious disease which was preying upon her., and which appeals to delight in deluding the hopes of its vic tims, and those to whom they are dear, was working steadily, though unseen. Ow the 25 of .March the vessel arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, where she landed and spent a lew days on shore. From some cause, not known, her disease which, previous ly, had been remarkably quiescent, developed itself with fearful activity, and on the 19th of April she kept her bed never more to rise from it. She grad ually’sunk away’ without pain and calmly breathed her last on the evening of the loth ot that month, the Sabbath. Her friends have had assurances □ that she died firm in the faith in which she had jlived and to which she was a martyr. In the ab- Sj sen ce ol any detailed account of her last moments • the words of her bereaved partner, in a letter to a tffriend, written during her absence at Simlah, will S not he inappropriate. “I do not fear for her.

Columbia, July 7, IMS. Bolters in tlie North. Of the eleven whig papers published in New Hampshire, four refuse to hoist the Taylor flag viz: the Manchester Crisis, Exeter News Letter Amberst Cabinet, and Claremont Eagle. The first declares its course in the following terms : “ When Gen. Taylor ia informed of his nomina tion, he will probably, according to the custom of candidates, give, in connexion with his acceptance the grounds on which he consents to be the candi date of whig party. Then, if he appears to re present what we have always believed to be whig doctrines, we shall most willjngly support him. If on the other hand, he makes no clearer exposition of his political belief, he can never have our uofe.” lET General Cass I know very well, and I have no persona! unkindness towards him. I have been an inmate of his family in foreign countries and have always found him to be an amiable, kind hearted man. For aught I know, his personal character is unimpeachable.— John Van Buren. TYF-'l'rue republicans can never lend their aid and influence in creating geographical lines in the East West, North or South. r> So said the democratic national address in 1985, when Mr. Van Buren was first nominated—and which was signed by Silas Wright It was true then, and it is true now. ’ From the Pennsylvanian. / The Gallant Dead. / Both the Pennsylvania regiments have /bought home with them,;it appears,.the of those of their gallant companions, who fell/in battle or died on the march from fatigue, the hospital from disease.
