ate the most cherished of her own sons, did she
suspect him ol being unsound in regard to the pro
gressive principles ol the radical Democracy ofvour
State. Our candidate must be' “not only pure but
above suspicion."' He must be a man who will take .
up the Banner of Democracy as it fell from the i
hands of Francis R. Bhunk, and bear it onward," j
without altering a motto or effacing an inscription * He ;
must stand clear of factions and cliques and all their ;
corrupting influences, and beone in fine, whom the.;
sturdy and honest democracy of the Keystone can-"
regard as the candidate of their party and the expo- ■
nent of their principles. : i
Such a man Centre County recognizes in Col. ,

Defeat of the Indians by the Oregon Regiment—Ac
riiieniu! Death of Cot. (lillian—Peace Proposed—
Troops |f anted—Sultrily of Provisions ami Am
munition.
St. Louih, August ■>.
P Ten men have arrived he to from St. Josephs and
from Oregon, having been 87 days on the road.
They bring'intelligence of a battle having occurred
on the I Oth of Murch between the Indians and the
Uregon’Regiment, when the former were defeated
with’ a loss of fifty killed and as many wounded.
On the American side nine were killed and ten
wounded. The pursuit-of* the flying hostile*. after
being kept up lor some distance, was abandoned
for want of provisions and ammunition. The reg
iment has so far been successful in defending the
territory, but are greatly hindered by the scanty
supply of provisions and ammunition, anil an in
sufficient number of horses.
Colonel Gillian, the commanding officer of the
regiment, was accidentally killed after the battle by
the discharge of a ride.
Propositions for a treaty of peace have been en
tertained by the Indians, but they had come to no
settlement.
The government has made a requisition for three
more companies of dragoons to act against the In
dians, and reinforcements from the States are anx
iously expected. ..
The Moimon settlement at Salt Lake is in a
very flourishing condition. v
The party arrived at St. Josephs report having
met a Targe party of emigrants at Secret Water,
and that Colonel Garland and Major Brunt had ai
med at Fort Maim.
'Thirty-two Indians were killed in the engage
ment between Lieut. Ryall’s command and theTa
munches on the Ist of June last.
• 'IHJASTS.—'The following toasts were drank at
the reception of the Massachusetts Regiment, taken
from the Boston Post :
■ 'The Massahusetts’Boys —Contractors for all sorts
of jobs; nations fed or fought, clothed or conquered,
railroads built ami children raised and educated, at
the shortest notice.
The Schoolhouses of New England —How the
young idea is trained to shbot here our enemies
have lately seen in the copious issue of bullets and
bulletins.
The-Cartridge Box and Ballot Box —The two great
engines in the accomplishment of national indepen
dence. The former brings-foes the lattei friends
to a pfoper^evel.
Musket Balls and Cannon Balls —A metallic cur
rency which "forms a basis of exchange between'
hostile nations, when ministerial-paper has ceased
to be discounted.
General Santa “ Anna —The chance of fate may
again make him a candidate for the presidency of
Mexico. He has no objection to running.
Thk Great Cities. —The New York Son re
marks that London has a population of 2,OUU.‘a»U ;
Paris, 1,000,000; New York, over half a million 1
and then, contrasting the position of the three cities,
and their disparity of age, expresses the opinion
that another hundred years —when from the Bat
tery to the Harlem, there shall be no space but
streets, public squares and gardens,—will place the
.commercial metropolis first on the list ot cities
Eight hundred years ago, when the conquering
Norman landed in England. London was a town
of note—but little more than two hundred veins,
a£o. the Island of Manhattan was a wilderness in
habited by savages. We are proud to think that
in an average of respects, the American.-: are the
greatest people; America the greatest couutiy
while .New York will be the greatest eity on the
globe.
What is ms religion ? is a question often asked
respecting Lamartine, by friends of Republican
France. His own answer will be beard with deep
interest. He says:
“ I believe in C'hvist, because he has introduced on
earth the most holy, the most fruitful, and the most
divine doctrine that-ever shed its beaTiv-oii human
intelligence. Christ has spoken as reason spnaWs:
Tffe doctrine is known by its morality, in the-same
manner as a tree is known by its fruits; the fruits
of Christianity are perleot and divine, the
author of which is the Divine Word, as he so styled
himself '
Servants,
The right management 'of servants is by no ,
means beneath the attention of a lady who wishes ;
to have a firm and judicious 1 control of her own ;
household; she should be-careful in her selections,
but having made them, should avoid an irritating
and capricious mode of treatment. Good servants
are invaluable, but it will be difficult to obtain or
keep them, where they find it scarcely possible to
give satisfaction; there can be no doubt that ser
vants are often exceedingly troublesome, but they
are frequently made so by injudicious treatment.
A firm yet kind demeanor T -an avoidance equally of
harshness and familiarity, has often made a good
and reformed an indifferent servant. It need scarcely
be hinted that nothing is rpore vulgar, than to oc
cupy the attention of company with complaints of
servants and the annoyances ol the domestic econ
omy.

since the late destructive fire in our borough, pieces
of timber-were found still burning amid the ruins

workmen engaged in cleaning out the cellar, slate
that in a heap of charred rubbish they found seve

with tolerable brightness when exposed to the air.
The fire, it will be remembered, occurred on the

Biography of a- Patriot, Hero & Statesman.
WM. O. BUTLER.
Born April 10th, 1791. in Jessamine county, on the
Kentucky river, son of Pcrcival Botler, a native
of Pennsylvania, and a soldier of the
REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
Descended from a family that never could be equal
led by any other in America for true patriot
ism. His grandfather, a• noble-hearted,
generous Irishman by birth, emigrated
to America in his young days,
settling himself in the back
woods ofKcnturky. His N
five sons all fought 0 e
in the revolution,
headed by
their old
father,
whose
wife
sold
“ Let him go. / can get along without him, and raise
romething to feed the army besides'*
ThLg extraordinary zeal induced General Washing
ton, the great and illustrious “ Father -of his
_ Country,” to give at his own table, in the
~ ’ presence of company,
“THE HUTLEIIS AND THEIR FIVE SONS.”
These live sons had ten hoys, all'of whom were'
engaged in the lust war with Great Britain, and
gained great distinction. Among them was
William ()., who, at the first sound of
the war bugle,‘joins a company of
KENTUCKY INFANTRY,
As a private, but is soon promoted. Engages in
two lights with the British and Indians on the
banks of the Raisin, performing many
deeds of daring -courage. Although
but a youth of 16,. be bravely
runs the gauntlet of
4, non BRITISH AND INDIAN RIFLES,
To set fire to a barn in possession of tiie enemy.
Not satisfied, he returns and stirs up the fire a
second time. Escapes unhurt, though voL
Je\ after volley is tired at him!
Is taken'a prisoner soon after, ami marched through
' Canada to Fort Niagara, suffering like a dog
from cold,-hunger,andfatigue. Exchanged

and joined General Jackson at the
. South. Fights bravely at Pen
sacola, then repairs with
hiseonunand to New
Orleans! Ap
pointed an
AID TO GENERAL JACKSON,
And bears a conspicuous part in the glorious Bat
tle of the Bth of January, which saved
our Country from destruction and
British tyranny!
At the termination of the War, he retires to private
life, from which he is called by the people,
and ejected a-Representative to the
NATIONAL CONGRESS,
Where he occupies a bold, manly, democratic
stand on all public questions. Fights manfully
for the passage of the bill refunding the
odious and unrighteous fine of
SI.UOO TO OLD HICKORY!
Is re-elected in a strong Whig .district, and de
clines a third election. He is nominated by
the Democrats for Governor of Kentucky,
and came within 3,000 votes ot being
elected in that strong Whig State,

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of
extending a love for the fine arts throughout the
United States, and to give encouragement to Ar
tists beyond that afforded by the patronage of indi
viduals. its promoters believe that these arts can
never attain their due rank in-this country (already
bo far advanced in many of the other elements of
civilization) until adequate encouragement be given
to the highest efforts .of the Painter and Sculptor.’
For the accomplishment of this object, the Soci
ety has adopted the following
PLAN:
1. Each subscriber of Five Dollars becomes a
member ot the Art-Union for one year.
The money thu? obtained is applied, first, to the
procuring of a large and costly Engraving, from an
original American Picture, of which every member
receives a copv ; and next, to the purchase of Pic
tures, Drawings, or other works of Art. with the
funds distributed by lot among the members for
that purpose. t
Tims, for the sum of Five Dollars, every member
is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (\\ orth alone
the amount of his subscription) and the chance of
