"For the purpose of affording 'our f r ie n ds throughout the county full opportunity of subscri bing, and obtaining subscribers to onr.contemplated. German paper, we extend the time forcoaKitene.ir' [g the publicati on until the lit of March, instead of the first of January, as originally contemplated,— This arrangement will afford ample time for can vassing the different townships 'in the county, and enable us (if such be the desire of our party friends,) to commence the paper at a- favorable period. I* - -Farmy A. Knxer.r., the celebrated Shakopee: rean reader, will give the citizens of Lancaster an opportunity of hearing her in the play of "Anthony and Creopetra," on to-morrow (Wednesday) eve ning, at the Mechanics' Institute. We bespeak for her a warm reception. It was all a Mistake! It appears that the article tVe copied last week from the Examiner, relative to the corruption and extravagance of the Whig Councilslof New York, found its way into that paper in a mistake, and that all the praise we so liberally bestowed upon the Editor, for his independence and truthfulness, was so much labor lost on our part. We are really sorry for this, as we were not without hope that our neigh bor, who we consider an honest man, had at length got his eyes opened to the abuses of his own party, and that henceforth we were to have his potverful aid in assisting to combat error and advance the cause of. troth. But, so it is—and without presu ming to intimate that the Examiner has so far lost its balance as to be capable of argqing both sides of the question in as many weeks, we, must be con tent to plod along the beaten path of 'Democracy, unaided and unsupported by that paper. Like Ephraim of old our neighbor seems to , be "joined to his. idols"—we shall therefore despair of ever seeing him, permanently at least, on the • Demo cratic side of the house. Things at Washington. More than a week has passed away since the -day fixed in the Constitution for the assembling of Congress, and still-the House of Representatives is in a disorganized condition, unless patriotism pre vailed over faction, and tbey succeeded in electing a Speaker yesterday. Should they not have done so, there is no certainty when an organization will be effected—and in the mean time the public inter ests are to suffer, and public opinion is to be set at defiance, all to gratify the factious disposition of some ten or twelve individuals in different sections of the Union, who, show by their stubborn perti nacity-that, like Milton's'devil, they would rather 'rule in h-11 than serve in h—n." We deeply regret this spirit on the part of some of the representatives of the people. It is neither the spirit of republicanism—nor is it of patriotism or reason. We sincerely hcipe that better counsels will soon wevail, and that every member who makes a profession of Democracy, will, without any further delay, yield his individual preferences to the will of the great majority of his fellow members, and give his vote for the regularly settled candidate of the party. Mr. Coax, the gentleman selected for the station, is admitted on all hands to be talented and courteous; and if 'placed in the Speaker's chair would do credit to himself, and be an honor to the body over which he would preside with so much dignity. Then why not elect him or some other good Democrat, and proceed with 'the business of legislation? Those who delay the organization any longer will incur a fearful respon sibility of the people.

TAYLOR to the Presidency, says the Baltimore argu,s, we cannot help feeling a little self gratulation, tat we stood aloof from the mili tary lever end the no-party crusade that swept our country so . rapidly, and has just as rapidly died away. From the moment Gen. Ts.rxon endorsed the pledges, made for him by his friends in,the Philadelphia Convention,- all respect fur him ceased with us—all reliance upon his former pledges were gone. We considered him sold, body and breeches, to the Whig party; we so declared at the time, and his subsequent course has most abundantly con firmed the declaration. The selection of his Cabinet proyed conclusively the extent of the contract—they are all Whigs, of bitter partisan character. And, as if to foreshadow the course intended to be pur sued, one well known for his mein and vindictive persecutions, who had already, under the brief period of Gen. Harrison's administration, earned for himself the significant soubriquet of" the butcher," was selected to fill one-of the most responsible posts under this no-party President. The ruthless, un sparing proscriptions which has been pursued by Gen. Taylor (tor we charge the work of his agents to him) has no parallel in the history of our coun try. But this is a matter of small consideration in comparison with the gross blunders which have been made in the management of our foreign relations. When Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet assumed the management of affairs, our country occupied a proud and commanding positiOn amongst the na tions of the earth. The brillint administration of Mr. Polk had surrounded the Arnerican name with - a halo of glory, and taught the world to respect its growing power. We were not only at peace with all Nations, but enjoyed, in an eminent degree, the admiration and regard of all who had witnessed the valor of our arms; and the judgment of our states men. From this enviable position we have been precipitated, by the ignorance.or wantonness of the present ruling dynasty. Difficulties, restraints and embarrassments, envelope our intercourse with nearly all the prominent powers of the world; and the - moral power of the government is lost by the withdrawal of the confidence of the people—for no government can long, be respected abroad, when it Ceases to be respected at home. General Taylor's own position is sadly changed, and it must be a source of unmingled regret to him sell; to witness the withdrawal of that generous confidence which filled the hearts of his country men, and elevated him to the high position which he now occupies. As the successful General, who had added imperishable laurels to the standard of our country, Gen. Taylor would have gone down to posterity as one worthy the honor and regar:d of his countrymen; but, in an evil hour for his own fame, he ventured upon the untried field of political excitement; and hurried forward by the flood.tide of military enthusiasm, he has reached an elevation for which he has had no taining, and where his deficiencies cannot be concealed. The eye of the nation has been upon him, and under its eagle gaze the mists have been penetrated. The fact has been clearly proved, that mere military success is no guarantee for the qualifications of a statesman, and that he who could command an army, is, in this instance at least, utterly unfit to guide the helm of State. Will the Senate Approve of Gen. Taylor's Remorseless Proscrip tion by Confirming his Nomiva- tions? 'This question is best answered by referring to the sentiments of his Prime Minister, as uttered by him some fourteen or fifteen years ago. 'We mean the sentiments of Mr. Secretary CLAYTON that able and distinguished Statesman who has used the moral power of the American government to crush the republican cause in Germany and Cuba, and who has demanded no satisfaction from Spain for a most flagrant outrage upon our flag, whilst dismissing the republican Minister of France for a mere imaginary insult to himself What said this renowned chief of the proscriptive cabal surround. ing Gen. Taylor, at the period we refer to' Let his own words, as we find them quoted in a late number of the New York Globe, answer. Here they are.: WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 [l7 - “The. Senate ought to know the ground upon which the removal is. made, If the President should tell the Senate it was on account of politi cal principles, he, in his place as Senator, would vote to reject every nomination made to fill the place, ad The precise day on which Secretary Clayton uttered this, we are not able to give, but our very able friends of the Union will doubtless give it in due time. It was uttered some time during Gen. Jackson's first term ; and towards the close of his second term, as can be seen by reference to page 504 of the 11th volume of Gales & Seaton's Reg ister of Debates, he repeated them as follows: December 4 u 7 " ." Mr. C. said the only control the Senate had over the power of removal was the right of rejec tion. And if a meritorious officer, who had dis charged his duty with fidelity and good faith, should be removed, the only remedy was to reject the partizan who might be nominated by theyres ident to fill his place: AND TOYS HE WOULD DO rejecting the first, second, third, and so on, ad iDfi• flitUM. Such was the maxim-he had laid down as the rule of" his conduct, and without information he should not know how to act !” Such was the cup Mr. Secretary Clayton was determined to press to the lips of Democrats, and to press on and on until we had drank it to the bit ter dregs, although General Jackson was under no obligations to spare a single political opponent.— Not so, however, with Gen. Taylor. If the inau gural address is to be regarded as a part of a Pres dent's oath, then Gen. Taylor was under the most solemn obligations to remove no public officers possessing character for honesty, capacity, and fidelity, and obligations which he could not disregard without virtually perjuring himself. Gen. Jackson's removals did not number more than a score, where Gen. Taylor's number hundreds, and, hence, if Sec retary Clayton. would "reject the partisan who might be nominated by the President" to fill the place of "a meritorious officer who had discharged his duty with fidelity and good faith," and keep on "rejecting the first, second, and third time, and so on ad infinitum," what should the Detnocratic Senate do with the notorious partisans who have recently been put in office through Secretary Clayton's agency I• But, above all, what should that body do with those who had beefs made important men through misdirected Democratic kindness, and who resorted to every expedient to induce Gen. Taylor to become the' executioner of faithful Democratic officials? What should be done with those whose hearts were so steeled to a fellow being's misfor tunes, that they could not spare him when - crushea to the earth by calamities, nor spare him long enough to find-a successor competent to fill his place? What should be done With those who used certain arguments to accomplish their sinister and selfish ends, and afterwards proved those argu ments to be mere subterfuges, by making things worse instead of better? What should be done with those, who, after being kept in office for years by Democratic administrations, turn round at the moment of their promotion by a Whig administra tion, and become the executioners of Democrats? But enough for the present. The Senate knows its duty, and will faithfully and fearlessly discharge it. —Baltimore Republican. December 5 December 6 December 8 PsNicssr.vssrs. Incm—We understand that the Board of Canal Commissioners, at their meeting in Philadelphia on Tuesday last, entered into a con tract with the Montour Iron Works, at Danville, Columbia county, and the Phcenixville Works, in Chester county, for the amount of iron rails neces sary to lay the track of the railroad to avoid the Inclined Plane at the Schuylkill. The contract price is $5O per ton delivered. Gov. Johnston and the Pardoning - The Federal papers froth Dan to Beersheba are. 'down -pell-mell upon the devoted head of Judge Portions, of Philadelphia, because, forsooth, his Honor - saw 'proper 'to:state that .the pardoning power vested in the Governor was abused, and that. numbers of the most outrageous culprits and hard ened offenders, have been turned loose upon society, within -the last year or-taio; to renew their depre dations upon society; 'The last Examiner, of this city, devotes two whole columns to the Judge—by way of reply to which' we insert the following - from the Spirit of the Tunes, which we think a sufficient answer to all the twaddle of our neighbor, who should remember that "facts are stubborn things," and that "actions speak louder than words:" It is amusing to see with what alacrity the Whig press of the State have rallied to the support of the North American, in assailing Judge Parsons, since our neighbor has attempted to divert public atten tion from the acts of the Governor. The, issue is not whether the Judge did wrong in making the exposure; but has the Governor abused the pardon ing power? Has he not inflicted a great public injury upon us, by opening the prison doors to the most hardened offenders? Has he not encouraged crime by such acts? And has he not, by failing to see the laws faithfully executed, as he was sworn to do, paralyzed the strong arm of the law? These are the questions to be answered, and not whether Judge Parsons has a good or bad temper, or some other Governor has pardoned a greater number of convicts than Gov. Johnston. The records of our prisons show, that fifty-one convicts have been pardoned by Gov. Johnston in ten months, one of 'whom only had been convicted of larceny, and all the others of the highest crimes known to the law—ranging through the grades of robbery, burglary, riot. Sic., up to arson and murder. We defy the North American or Sun to show such another list of pardons in anY six years of any administration. The public will not be driven from an inquiry into the facts, by counter charges .against a Judge who has the courage to enlighten the public mind upon the subject of pardons. Nor do we believe that the abuse heaped on the head of that Judge, by .the Whig press, will drive a faithful public officer from the performance of his duty. The next instance of misapplied Executive clem ency that we shall call attention to, is the case of the young man who was tried for an attempt to outrage the person of an orphan child, eleven years of age, and delicate in the extreme. From some circumstance that could not be penetrated by the Judge, counsel or auditory, the jury found him guilty of an assault and battery merely. It is charitable to suppose that the jury believed that no sane man could be guilty of the offence charged in the indictment. But how were the facts, as given in the evidence? This man attended his father's grocery store, in the vicinity of Lombard and Sev enth street, and had a wife. On the night in ques tion, he was closing the store. The windows were shut, when the child entered to purchase some arti cles, having been sent for that purpose by her aunt. She was seized upon her entrance, and carried be hind the counter, when the outrage was attempted. Mangled and exhausted, the child at length reached her home, and made known to her aunt her condi tion. A respectable physician was sent for, and the child attended to. The physician sent also for the alleged culprit, and questioned him. He admitted his guilt, and said that he "did not know what could have influenced him to perpetrate the act, but he believed that the Devil had got into him." He offered, besides, to make any pecuniary compensa. 1 tion within his power. He was arrested, tried, and made the best defence in his power; but the artless and straightforward character of the child's testi mony, left not a doubt of his culpability. The respectable physician who attended the child de tailed to the jury, in addition, the admissions made to him by the prisoner. The Judge (not Parsons,) in passing sentence upon him, said "he was somewhat acquainted with the character of criminal offences committed within I this County, and he was glad to say, for the honor of our nature, that a crime of so heinous a character was seldom perpetrated here. The jury, by their verdict, had put it out of his power to inflict a pun ishment commensurate with the offence—impris onment in the Eastern Penitentiary, for a long term of years. How tha jury could have arrived at such a verdict, he could not discover." "If you," address ing the prisoner, "have been guilty of any offence, it was that one manifestly for which you were indicted." The prisoner was then sentenced to two years imprisonment in the County prison. To have intimated at the time of sentence, that such an of fender—an offender who lad aside every humani zing principle of man's nature—would find favor with the Executive, would have been received with shouts of derision, as an idea too preposterous to be entertained. But, how stands the result? In a few short months, before even the feelings of an insulted community had been indulged with time to subside, the prisoner presented himself in the very Court in which he had but recently been convicted, the her. ald of his own shamelessness, and a striking instance of Governor Johnston's weakness! Now if this was not an abuse of the pardoning power, in the name of our common humanity, what act can be so considered? Confession of a Robber. The notorious Thos. C. Cunningham was tried in Boston, a few days since, for robbing a young man in that city, on the 24th of September last and after k i is conviction made the following remarks and confession : It has long been my earnest and sincere object to pursue an honest livelihood, but I have been ,i followed up and unjustly used by the authorities. 'j I triad to get an honest living in New York. I ' cut loose from my old associates, and commenced a little business, but the police, under the direction of the Chief, kept a constant watch upon my house. Next, that house was taken down and I had to remove to another, but the police followed and watched me still. I asked them why they pursued me so, and they said they were acting under the orders of the Chief, and we made an appointment to meet him together. But I went alone before the time set, and endeavored to satisfy the Chief that I was endeavoring to get an honest livelihood. He wouldn't believe me, and I then saw the Mayor, and when he heard my story, he said he believed I meant to change my course of life. Then I met the police who were watching me, and went with me to the Chief. After some more talk he had me locked up on some old charges that I had given bail for, but couldn't get a trial. I was kept in prison, and the business I had commenced was broken up, and all the means I had were exhausted in feeling counsel for these old matters. Then I came to Boston, intending still to pursue an honest livelihood, but couldn't get such business as suited me. and here I am. I don't blame any body here. The officer was mistaken in saying that when he took the gold pieces from me, I told him I had no more money about me. , But that makes no great difference, since the money was bound upon me. I am fully satisfied that there is no peace for the wicked, and the way of the transgressor is hard. It has been fully exemplified in my person, and in my situation here at this moment. I am fully resolved to endeavor to pursue an honest course of life, if ever I should be restored to liberty. I have a family, etvife and child—and have good friends and relations in New York. [Here the prisoner halted in his remarks, and wept. Having subdued his emotion, he proceeded.] I know the difficulties I shall have to meet. They have stood in my way before. After a man has been taken up and exposed. his character is gone. If he gets work as a mechanic, or at any honest business, his previous misfortune, being known to many persons, soon reaches his employer, and he loses his sivation. This is the difficulty in the way-of a man like me in returning to honest employment. But lam determined to make an effort, if I should again have an opportunity, and I can say nothing more now than to throw myself upon the clemency of the court. The prisoner was now sentenced to four years in the State prison. The prisoner's wife was present, and wept bitterly when the4entence was announced. It is suppose that she did not know his real character when she married him. MINNSYLVANIA P cam c Wongs.—The Harrisburg Keystone has the following statement of the revenue from our State works: We learn that the actual receipts at the State Treasury from Ist Dec. 1848 to Ist Dec. 1842, on account of Railroad tolls, are $1 ; 628,86013 From the same source the preced ing year, 1,350,555 03 Increase for the year 1848-49 over 1847-1848, $78,305 10 The 'estimated amount by the late State Treas urer, Mr. Plumer, for the year just closed, was $l, 650,000. The receipts have therefore fallen below the estimate $21,139 87. This deficiency was oc casioned by the long continued dry weather and a consequent want of water both in the Ohio river and in the canal. Had it not been for this, the re ceipts would have exceeded the estimate.

Itossuth's Address to his Country. - - In the eta& of European — intelligence, brought by the recent arrival, we find the following farewell address of Basurra, the great Hungarian leader, to his country, written at Orsova. It is one of:the' most pathetic, eloquent and powerful productions we have ever read; and we are sure no apology is needed for laying it before our readers - Farewell, my beloved country ! Farewell, land of the Magyar! Farewell, thou land of sorrow! I shall never more behold the summit of thy moun tains. I shall never again give the name of my country to that cherished soil where; I drank from my mother's bosom the milks of justice and liberty. Pardon, oh! pardon him who is henceforth con demned to wander far from thee, because he com batted for thy happiness. Pardon 'one who can only call free that spot of thy soil where he now kneels with a few of the faithful children of con quered Hungary ! My last looks are fixed on my country, and-I see thee overwhelmed; with anguish. Thy plains are covered with blood, the redness of which pitiless destruction will change to black the emblem of mourning for the victories thy sons have gained over the sacrilegious enemies of thy sacred soil. How many grateful hearts have sent their prayers to the throne of the Almighty! HoW many tears have gushed frogs their very depth to implore pity! How much blood has been shed to testify that the . Magyar idolizes his country, and that he knows how to die for it. And yet, land of my love, thou art in slavery ! From thy very bosom will be forged the chain to bind all that is sacred, and to aid all that is sacrilegious. 0 Almighty Creator, if thou lovest thy people to whom thou didst give victory under our heroic ancestor, Arpad,' I implore thee not to sink them into degradation. I speak to thee,mv country, thus from the abyss of my despair, and whilst yet lingering on the threshold of thy soil. Pardon me that a great number of thy sons have shed their blood for thee on my account. I pleaded for thee, I hoped for thee, even in the dark moment when on thy brow was written the withering word "Despair." I lifted my voice in thy behalf when men said, "Be thou a slave." I girt the sword about my loins, and I grasped the bloody plume, even when they said, "Thou art no longer a nation on the soil of the Magyar." Time has written thy destiny on the pages of thy story in yellow and black letters—Death. The Colossus of the North has set his seal to the sen tence. But the glowing iron of the East shall melt that seal. For thee, my country, that has shed so much blood, there is no pity ; for does not the tyrant eat his bread on the hills formed of the bones of thy children? The ingrate whom thou hadst fattened with thy abundance, he rose against thee; he rose against thee the traitor to his mother, and destroyed thee utterly. Thou hast endured all ; ; thou hast not cursed thine existence, for in thy bosom, and far above all sorrow, hope has built her nest. Magyars! turn not aside your looks front me, for at this moment mine eyes flow with'tears for you, for the soil on which my tottering steps still wander is named Hungary. My country, it is not the iron of the stranger that bath dug thy grave ; it is not the thunder of fourteen nations, all arrayed against thee, that hath destroyed thee; and it is not the fifteenth nation, traversing the Carpathians, that has forced thee to drop thy arms. No! Thou hast been betrayed; thou hast been sold, my country ; thy death sen tence hath been written, . beloved of my heart, by him whose virtue, whose love for thee I never dared to doubt. Yes! in the fervor of my boldest thoughts, I should have almost as soon doubted of the exist ence of the Omnipotent, as have believed that he could ever be a traitor to his country. Thou hast been betrayed by him in whose hands I had but a little space before deposited the power of our great country, which he swore to defend even to the last drop of his heart's blood. He hath done treason to his mother: for the glitter of gold bath been for him more seductive than that of the blood shed to save his country. Base gain had more value in his eyes than his country, and his God has abandoned him, as he had abandoned his God for his allies of Magyars! Beloved companions, blame me not to having cast mine eyes upon this man, and for hiving given to him my place. It was necessary, for the people had bestowed on him their confidence; the army loved him, and he obtained a power of which I myself would have been proud. And. nevertheless, this man has belied the confidence of the nation, and has repaid the love of the army with hatred. Curse him, people of the Magyars!— Carse the breast which did not first dry up before it gave him its milk. I idolize thee, 0 thou most faithful of the nations of Europe, as I idolize the liberty for which thou bast proudly and-bravely combatted. The God of liberty will never efface thee from his memory.. Mayest thou be for ever blest! My principles have not been those of Washing. ton, nor yet my acts those of Tell. I desired a free nation—free as man cannot be made but by God. And thou art fallen; faded as the lily, but which in at.other season puts forth its Rowers still more lovely than before. Thou art dead—for liath not thy winter come on but it will not endure so long as that of thy companion under the frozen sky of Siberia. No! Fifteen nations have dug thy tomb. But the host of the sixteenth will come to save thee. Be faithful, as thou hast been even to the present. Conform to the holy counsels of the Bible. Lift up thy heart in prayer for the departed.; but do not raise thine own hymn, until thou hearest the thunders of the liberating people echo along thy mountains, and bellow in the depths of thy valleys. Farewell, beloved companions! Farewell, COM. radesl—countrymen ! May the thought of God, and may the angels of liberty forever be with you! Do not curse me. You may well be proud; for have not the lions of Europe risen from their lairs to destroy the ' rebels V I will proclaim you to the civilized world as heroes; and the cause of an he roic people will be cherished by the freest nation of the earth—the freest of all people! Farewell, thou land dyed with the blood of the brave! Guard those red marks—they will one day bear testimony on thy behalf. And thou, farewell, 0 youthful Monarch of the Hungarians! Forget not that my nation is not destined for thee. Heaven inspires me with the confidence that the day will dawn when it shall be proved to thee even on the ruined walls of Buda. May the Almighty bless thee, my beloved Coun trymen! Believe: Hope, and LOte.t. *The Arpad alluded to Bit Kossuth is the cele brated chief or khan of the Hungarians, who, when driven with his tribes from the banks of the V,olga, towards the end of the ninth century, settled oiDthe Theiss, and, as the ally of the Emperor ArnoM, beat the Moravians in the year lA. Under the weak rule of the son of ArnouldAtWis, surnamed the Child, he became master of P . annonia, which the Hnngarians have since then kept possession of. Arpad gave his name to a Hungarian dynasty, which began with St. Stephen in 997, and which kept the throne tilt the death of Andrew 111.,, in 1301. This race of kings is known as the Arpades THE INDIANS VICTORIOES AT LAKE SUPERIOR.- By the Detroit Free Press of Monday we have late news from the Lake Superior country. The Indi ans have driven the Quebec Mining Company from their location. The mines were surrendered on the 14th ult. The Indians and haltbreeds, to .the number of about one inindred and fifty, under command of McDonnell, left the Saut on Saturday evening, reached the location of the Quebec company on Monday night, and proceeded quietly and cautiously to lay their plan of attack. Two pieces of artillery were placed so as to command the works, and the forces disposed in ambush so that at a moment's warning they could rush upon their victims. The plans were so quietly carried out that the miners, to the number of one hundred and fifty, were not aware of the presence of marauders until completely in their power. The agent of the company was suddenly attacked by a party of the assailants, who threatened him with death in case of resistance.— A surrender of the mines, tools, &c. was then de. mended, which was, after some hesitation, complied with. • The .Ohio Legislature. COLUMBUS, Dec. 5 The House is fully organized . The Democrats have elected all their officers.

Both members from 'Hamilton claim seats, and ask to be sworn in. Warm and animated discussion on both sides. COPPER AT Prrrsnro.—The works erected at Pittsburgh for the smelting of Lake Superior Cop per, now smelt from six to eight tons per day. The Detroit Free Press remarking upon this, says the !mount of mineral melted this year is 900,000 pounds—the product of which is $540,000 or 60 per cent. But as copper is largely mixed with the slug to be melted over, the average yield is estima ted at 55 per cent. From the amount of metal re ceived and that to receive, about 600 tons of cop per will be made this year at the Pittsburg furnace. Clasp_ of Dr. Par4man., Winotidedlist — Week the mysterious disappear once of Dr. Parkman, of Boston, and, the arrest of .Professor Wass-ran, of the Medical College in that city, on suspicion of being his murderer. The Boston Transcript, of the `_lst. inst.; furnisbeSl4" following details rspecting this horrible affair: SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF DR. PARKMAN'S BODY—HORRIBLE SUSPICIONS—ARREST OF PROF. 3. W. WEBSTER. . Since last evening our *hole population has been in a state of the greatest possible excitement, in consequence of the astounding rumor that the body of Dr. Parkman has been discovered, and that Dr. John W. Webster, Professor of Chemistry in the Medical School of Harvard College, and a gen-. tleman connected by marriage with some of our most distinguished families, has been arrested and imprisoned, on suspicion of being the murderer. Incredulity, then amazement, and then blank, um. speakable- horror have been the emotions which have agitated the public mind as the rumor has gone on, gathering countenance and confirmation. Never in the annals of crime in Massachusetts has such a sensation been produced. As we have been informed, on what we deem to be good authority, strong suspicions have been en tertained ever since the disappearance of Dr. Park man, and especially since it has generally been be lieved that he was no longer living, that the place of his concealment was in or about the Medical College (a branch of Harvard University) in North Grove street, in this city—and accordingly a con stant watch has been kept about the building. The principal reasons for these suspicions, which We have heard assigned, are as follows: Dr. Parkman held a note for $450 against Prof. Webster, which had long been overdue, and upon which, although it was secured by a mortgage of some real estate in East Cambridge, the Doctor had several times importuned for the money, and been from time to time put off. At length he applied to the officer who disposed of 'the tickets for Prof Webster's course of lectures ; to know if -there was a sufficient balance due for the Professor to take up his note. This circumstance is said to have greatly incensed Prof. W., who, on Friday morning of last week, called at Dr. Parkman's house, No. 8 Walnut street, and left word "if he (Dr. P.) wanted his money on that mortgage, to call at the Medical College about 1 o'clock that afternoon." The Doctor is known to have proceeded to the College at the time specified—was seen to enter, by several persons in the vicinity, but was never seen to come out. The statement that he was subsequently seen passing Gragie's Bridge has been, as 'we hear, satisfactorily contradicted. On his way to the Col lege, Dr. Parkman purchased some groceries at a store on the corner of Vine :and Blossom streets, which he ordered to be sent to his house, but left in the store a bag of celery which he said he would himself call for in a few minutes. At this time, it isl Stated, a person wishing to do some business with him, waited two or three hours in vain, in order to see him when he should. come from the College. It is said Prof. Webster admits that Dr. Parkman was at the College about the time mentioned, and that, although he asserts he paid him the $450, he cannot show a receipt for it—when it is well known that Dr. P. was very methodical in his business matters. It is also stated that during the whole of the past week, Prof. Webster has kept himself very seclu ded—that his rooms at the College have been kept constantly loiked—circumstances quite unusual with him. From these and other alleged facts, such suspi cions were aroused that, in the Professor's absence last evening, Mr. Ephraim Littlefield, who has the care of the College building and grounds, was in duced to break the partition wall to the vault under the private laboratory of Professol Webster, in the basement of the building, and there discovered one leg. and a portion of the trunk of a human corpse! in a condition which made it apparent that the remains had not long been there deposited. This discovery, with the fact that Prof. Webster is not an anatomist or surgeon, but simply a chemist, and having nothing professionally to do with the dissection of bodies, was ample to give rise to the astounding suspicion that Dr. Parkman had thus been most foully and diabolically murdered. Prot. Webster was accordinglly arrested at his residence in Cambridge, by officers Clapp and Rice and lodged in Leverett street jail last night, to await further developments. We hear that hewas in tensely excited on the occasion and gave , way to violent exclamations, some of which, if reported correctly, would seem to strengthen the chain of circumstances pointing to the deepest guilt Among other language of a similar import, it is currently stated that he used the following: "Can it be that that infernal scamp (supposed to refer to some ac complice) has BETRAYED Me!" There are a thous and rumors of this sort afloat, but how much credit to attach to them we leave our readers to judge. We learn that a further and thorough investiga tion was made in the Professor's laboratory this morning, when in the ashes of the furnace were found pieces of bone from the skull and other parts of a man's head, together with several false teeth, some coat buttons, and some grains of gold, appar ently from a watch melted down. On the stairs leading from the laboratory to the lecture room above, were found spots made by a strong acid capable of destroying marks of blood which might have been there spilled, or of almost instantly con suming the flesh if thrown upon the person. It is known that Dr. Parkman carried a gold watch and wore some artificial teeth, but as yet we do not learn that any real identification has been made concerning these articles, or of the portion of the body found. It is stated as a suspicious fact in connection with the recent unusual closeness of Prof. Webster's laboratory, that from its chimney an uncommonly dense and constant smoke has been observed to issue for several days past, and that a great amount of pitch pine kindlings has been used there. The most thorough investigations are now being made upon all the matters to which we have allu ded. The Medical College is undergoing the strictest search throughout, and it may be expected that some definite information will soon relieve the all absorbing excitement, which - is prevalent, in con sequence of the mysterious facts already developed. 117* Later intelligence from Boston goes to strengthen the conviction that Professor Webster is guilty of the diabolical murder, and, as a con sequence, the public excitement runs very high against him. He still protests that he is innocent. It is said the defence will set up an alibi, and be able to prove that the Professor was in Cambridge, on the evening of the alleged murder, when a light was seen in his room. 113 - Col. JAMES WATSON WEBB, the newly appointed Charge d'Affaires to Austria, sailed on the Ist inst. for Liverpool, on his way to Vienna. This is quick work on the part of the valiant Col onel—but there's nothing like pocketing the outfit and salary for a year, any how, even should the Senate take it into their heads, as they most assuredly will, to reject the nomination as one 'not fit to be made." The Col. knows a thing or two, as all who are acquainted with him will admit, and he thought it quite advisable to be.aboard a vessel and under full sail for Europe, before the day arrived for the meeting of Congress—else the fun might all have been spoiled. With eighteen thousand dollars of the public funds in his capacious breeches pocket, what need he care how soon the Senate say he shall be recalled! It will be quite as good a speculation, all things considered, as one "Col. James Watson Webb, of the Regular Army" made during the hey. day of the United States Bank. FnsrnrcrnE•—A man named Wm. Bender, residing in Perry county, in this State, was murder ed by his own brother, Benjamin Bender, on the 25th ult. The Murderer had an altercation with his sister, and the'decehsed, on attempting to inter fere in her behalf, was stabbed by the prisoner with a knife in his body in four different places, which in a short time afterwards proved fatal. The pris oner is said to be about 24 years of age, and the ~deceased was about 18. Shocking! DEATH OF GEN. Ciascu.—We regret to learn that Gen. Dnivcsiv L. anscu, died at Macon, Ga., on the 27th ult., after a short but severe illness. As A soldier, a statesman and a gentleman, few men occupied a more distinguishedposition. His Indian battles were among the most deadly that ever.were fought, and he proi7ed himself to be "every inch a soldier." His death is a public loss. V' Spurious notes of the denomination of $lO on the Lancaster County Bank are said to be in circulation. They have for a vignette, Neptune in his car drawn by horses—a locomotive and train at one end—and at the bottom (enclosed in a cir cle) these words: "real estate pledged and private property holden." The signatures are well execu ted. Support yotur County Papers, We ask the attention'- of the Democracy of Lancastercam' tY, of that portion of them who do not take a' county paper, to the fol lowing remarks 0i1ier:43.4 Robinson, a member Qfstlie !2 9th Congress from Illinois: "Sometimes I hear it raid that two dollars is too much for a County paper; that larger ones can be had froM a distance much cheaper. Well it is very _true that you can get, papers, cheaper—and it is equally true r thit, if you are determined to bring city or eastern papers into- competition as to size and price with your county paper, the idea of con tinuing county papers had as well at once be aban doned. Our county papers cannot compete with them in this respect, and they do not pretend to do it. If you want county papers, if you think they are of any consequence to you as the orgaa of your party at home, or for their local intelligence and news, you must expect to pay a little for these considerations. I should think it an awkward and clumsy business in this county now, for our party to enter a political contest without a paper to aid them to organize, through which to call public meetings, "conventions," &c.,—to - publish proceed ings, to defend our candidates, publish their names and print their tickets--in short to conduct the can vass. I imagine we would fight under disadvantages and against odds, that would be felt and appreci ated.' Canal Commissioner. Ma. Enrroa :—The name of Joax L. LICIHTNEIIi of this county, has been recommended by a corres pondent of your widely circulated democratic paper, for Canal Commissioner, to succeed Judge Long streth. I heartily concur in what the writer of that article has stated concerning the gentleman recommended. The writer of this communication is personally acquainted with Mr. Lightner, and can truly say, that a more unexceptionable candi date cannot be selected in the State. It is admitted that the Eastern portion of the State is entitled to the candidate, and, in all probability, Lancaster co. will be honored with the man; for she certainly has claims that will undoubtedly be duly consid ered. Permit me, therefore, to recommend Mr. Lightner. He is emphatically the choice of a large majority of the democracy of Lancaster county;and would receive the largest vote of any democrat in the State for that office. Mr. Lightner is extremely well known in the Eastern part of the State, and wherever known is esteemed as a gentleman of the strictest integrity; as an upright citizen and honest politician. His acknowledged business qualities render him a most competent person to discharge the important duties of Canal Commissioner, and would bring with him honesty of purpose and a fixed determination to promote the best interests of the good old Commonwealth. He is of unblem ished character,.a thorough going democrat, and an honest man. Mr. Lightner has never sought office, and it is with a degree of reluctancy that he per mits his numerous political friends to use his name in connexion with that office. Ike is fresh from the ranks of the people, whose faithful public ser vant he would be. To those who know Mr. Light ner nothing need be said ; but to the democracy of Pennsylvania we would say, that our worthy citizen has ever stood upon the broad platform of democ racy, whose eternal principles he has faithfully battled for in sunshine and in storm. He has all the requisite qualifications, being a real business man, and familiarly acquainted with our vast system of improvements. His name is now before the- de mocracy of Pennsylvania, and the next convention cannot select a more popular and deserving man. TRUTH. For the Intelllgencer. A Great Nuisance• Mu. EDITOR:-I have often wondered why the City Officers have not ventured to abate the intoler able nuisance so long existing in Market Square. Every day in the year may be seen congregated in one huge mass, Geese, Hogs, &c. &c. squealing and grunting, to say nothing of the emission of a very unpleasant odor incident to congregations of this kind. The good people inhabiting houses in the vicinity, I am inclined to think have acted all along with great forbearance, in fact until "forbearance has ceased to be a virtue." They are now anxious that something may be done by the City Officers to prevent the accumulation of such disagreeable companions, the majority in the neighborhood be lieving their absence is desirable on account of their noise and gabbling which render it impossible for business men to put up with it any longer. Will our City Fathers see to it? _ AN INHABITANT. THE Resc.A.M—We learn from the St. Louis Republican, that last spring a scoundrel, assuming the name of Francis Rives, appeared in that city, and married a young and very respectable lady.— They afterwards settled in Peoria, where, three months after marriage, he deserted his young wife , robbing her of a considerable amount of jewelry, and everything she had, and taking in her friends to the amount of several hundred dollars. After leaving her, he went,to Albany, N. Y., where, as suming a military dress, he passed himself off for Lieut. John L. Eaton, U. S. Navy, and soon after contracted marriage with a young and wealthy lady of that city or its neighborhood. But before the honey-moon was over with his new bride, he was detected and exposed by two gentlemen of St. Louis. Since then, it is understood that he has yet another wife in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is time fot the newspapers to take hold of him. He is yet at large, and we hope a general hue and cry will be raised, so that he may be punished without delay. RUSSIA AND TURKPI.—The diplomacy of Rus sia has apparently trit4phed over the generous policy of the Porte. Our former advices communi cated the important intelligence, that the Emperor of Russia bad consented to withdraw his claim for the extradition of his subjects, who were implicated' in the Hungarian rebellion. But the London Times, of the 10th inst., contains a letter, which states that the matter is definitely concluded, the Porte having pledged itself to keep in safe custody, in one or more of the Turkish fortresses, all those refugees whose names may be mentioned by the Russian and Austrian governments, and immediately to banish the others— probably with the exception of those who may in the meantime have embraced the Mahometan re ligion—from the Turkish territorities. Of course, this perfectly authentic news completely confutes all the reports, according to which, Kossuth and some of his colleagues are already on their way to join Messrs. Pulsky and Teleky in England.—Daily Sun. 11J WasnE Is lizarrusnn Puassiss, who came to this country from Germany, in June or July last, is a Turner by trade, and was last heard from in Philadelphia, which, place he left for Lancaster, Pa. Any information respecting his whereabouts will be gratefully received by his brother, MELCHOIR FOREMAN, as he is particularly desirous, to learn where he may be found. Any person in possess ion of any information concerning him will confer a favor by addressing MELCHOIR Pummels, in care of the "Neutralist," Skippackville, Montg'y co., Pa. Awror. Daira.—A workman engaged in a plaining mill in Syracuse, N. Y., was caught in the machinery, on Friday last, which whirled him round with great rapidity and tremendous power— his arms and legs at every revolution striking the knives of the Planer! In one minute his legs and arms were torn from his body, and scattered in thousands of fragments about the building, some of which were thrown out of a window into the river! —and as soon as the machinery could be stopped, his limbless trunk fell to the floor, utterly denuded, save the cravat about his neck. Judge Dolmas, of York, held Court last, week in this City for Judge Lewis, who recipro cated the compliment by holding Court:for him in York. It is proper to remark that Judge D. has fully 'come up to the expectations of our citizens— .roving himself to be an able and accomplished Jurist. ArnsigtronieS/Paiintingti. , We were verx.Mueh gwitifted, with a recent visit we paid icithe Gallery of Mr. ARTHUR ARRSTRONO, in the Mechanics' Institute. Mr. A. we believe is a native of this city, and if: talents of the highest order as an artist, combined With sauvity of man. nets, sad an exceedingly accommodating disposition, deserye ample encouragement, then is he richly entitled to it at the hands of the public. His paintings—and his gallery is ornamented with some splendid productions from his pericil, which exhibit 'taste, skill and conception of the highest order of genius—are well 'worthy a visit from all of our citizens in town and country. We intend, when we have a little more leisure, to renew our visit, and take a note of his most celebrated paintings, for publication. We ' hope that Mr. A.'will be lib• erally patronized--as a native and gifted artist he is eminently deserving of it. Proceedings of Councils. Tuesday, Dec. 4th. The select and Common Councils met.

" SARTAIN'S UNION NIAGAZINE" for January is on our table, and does indeed deserve its high rep utation. We are delighted with its appearance, and, can give it, with "the beautiful things" it contains, no higher eulogium than the following, by one of its contributors:— THEY'RE not the gems of s it plundered sea, The wealth of a pirate's 'treasury;" Nor the angry gleams in,a spinster's eye, When she grasps her "plates" in ecstasy; Nor the fashion-paint ozi a faded cheek; Nor the evil wish that the tongue must speak ; Nor a lady's "pages" decked for show, With their awkward limbs in liveried glow. Lovelier things than these are in " Sartain":— The jewels that shine when the case is gone ; The winning look and the gentle tone; The painter's touch and the poet's thought; And wisdom's wealth into beauty wrought:— These are the beautiful things of Sartain !" Er A double no. of "Peterson's Ladies National Magazine has been received: It is the commence- ment of a new volume, and amply embellished with beautiful engravings. "Les Modes Parisiennes," the fashion plate, is fine—suiting the ladies exactly.— This Magazine is edited by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens and Charles J. Peterson. They are sparing no pains to make it a good reading periodical, having engaged the services of some of the beat writers, among which are Mrs. Osgood, Mrs. Neal, Clara 'Morton and others. 'fi7•Junn & ',quarter have :kindly placed on our table a beautiful volume entitled "The Guide to Social Happiness," by the distinguished Authoress, Mrs. alas, in which is a fine portrait of herself. Looking through the book we find it highly inter esting. The contents are "The Poetry of Life," of Painting, Sound, Language, Love, Grief; Woman, Religion; of the Bible, Imagination and Impression, with "Pictures of Private Life," glowingly illustra ted; also, "A voice from the Vintage." It is just, the kind of work that has been long wanted, brea thing Truth and Instruction; and we are pleased. to see that in this age of Fiction, there are some can did minds who aspire to the Useful. But no words of ours can give this volume popularity—the name of its writer, the gifted Author.of " Women of the Revolution," is sufficient to pave its way into every house.

Senate, occasioned by the resignation of B. C. Howard, Esq. This last named gentleman was appointed bp the Governor immediately after. the resignation of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, but bad not taken the seat which he now resigns. Mr Stewart's appointment will only holik_good untiltha Legislature of Maryland make an election. • Erg - It is rumored, says the Pennsylvanian, that President Taylor expresses great sympathy for the fall of the Hungarians, in his anticipated message. Why hid he not show his syrnpathy for this gallant people in some tangible form, during their glorious struggle? Or why did he not show his sympathy, when Kossuth and his compatriots were threatened with a Russian halter? We presume that these "omissions" will be enumerated under the same head with his violated pledges. "Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel!" POISONING.-At Buffalo, last week, Thomas Pratt was convicted of attempting to take the life of his step-mother, Cynthia Pratt, by poison. His father, when he died, gave to the step-mother a life interest in his estate—an arrangement with which the prisoner was dissatisfied, and had said that the step-mother should not enjoy it long. He was in the habit of sending milk to the step.mhtoer, by the hands of his little daughter, five years; old. At length, after drinking some of the milk one day, Mrs. Pratt was taken violently ill; again the next day, and the next; the milk was examined and found , to contain a white 'sediment. This was examined by physicians and chemists, and found to be arsenic. The symptoms also were those of arsenical poison.
