Smith o’Brlen--Hls Inhuman
Treatment.
The Jhiblin Nation of the Ist of June, appeals to
Irishmen generally, Catholic and Protestant, those
desiring Irish’ independence as well as those cher
ishing union with England, to interfere by remon-
strance and save the life of the Irish patriot, Smith
O’Brien, who, the article says, is being slowly
murdered at Maria Island. Its language is fervid
and strong. It says:
He is caged in the closest solitary confinement
His food is scanty and loathsome. He lias no
comforts, no attendance. He is denied the common
requests of decency. For months he has not been
allowed a change of raiment or permitted to
change his dress.
“This will be questioned, disputed, disbelieved.
No wonder ; it is monstrous and incredible. But
we write every word of it on the authority of one
as incapable of falsehood or exaggeration as of mur
der. It is the literal truth.
“ Nor is this the whole. In the foul den where
he is "thrust, like a chained reptile, one generous
girl, of the age of ten years, daughter of the Gover
nor, sought, with instinctive charity of her sex, to
solace the captive’s ears and lighten his suffering
by kindly offices; and forthwith, on pain of new
privation, O’Brien was forbidden ever to speak to
her again. He lost thi3 innocent familiar, whose
childish beauty and guilelessness, perhaps, spoke to
his father’s heart of the orphaned darlings who
weep for him ,at home.
“In this monsters power—tortured, outraged,
maddened“lives your countryman, the son oi your
kingliest house—die generous patriot who fought
and fell for you and us all.
“Is this law'?. Is this justice? Who is so
brqtal here as to defend such barbarity?
partisan of British rule—what representative. 0 f
British authority—dare stand up in these brands
and * vindicate this dark, cowardly, and hellish
persecution?
“ Hoes the law of God justify it ? V oes the law
of man ordain it? Will the' people. 0 f England
sanction it? Will the people of Irejand endure it? 1
“You must interfere, and save \his man’s reason!
You must interfere, and save dais man’s life; for,
we tell you both are threatens d.
n'W’e say this advisedly. 'No human constancy
cah long withstand the torturing cruelty O’Brien
jmfiers. No bodily strength can triumph over the
O’Brien enduves.’’
After tether appeals to Irishmen to interfere
and save O'Brien, the Nation makes the following
announcement
“ These tidings have produced a profound im
pression in Dublin. They have excited intense
indignation. A committee is being formed of men
if all parties; and, if we have not mistaken Irish
hearts, there will be a denunciation that shall ring
through the land like a judgment peal--a remon
strance which it will not be prudent for any gov
ernment to despise, or safe for any government to
disobey. „ _ , ,
«We hear, indeed,; that the Queen of England
comes to Ireland this summer—comes for the ovi
ation that monurchs love from petted slaves. But
we warn her and her ministers, that so Burely as
Bhe sets foot on Irish soil, while O'Brien is thus
tortured and degraded, so surely, wherever she
turns, shall his name be thundered in her ears, ns
a malediction—so surely shall his blood be flouted
in her face. This promise we will see lulfllled.”
Bones of a Mammoth Non
descript.
Gso. S. King, in the Wakulla (Fla.) Times, gives
a very interesting description of some immense
bones, hooked out of the mammoth Wakulla
Spring, by himself and George L. Brockenbrough,
formerly of this city. To judge from the thickness
of the pieces obtained, (at the depth of forty-five
feet below the surface of the water,) the tusks must
have been 12 or 15 feet in length, 3 to 400 lbs. in
weight, and of pure ivory, encased bv enamel of
almost transparent whiteness. One of the leg bones
weighed more than 60 lbs. These bones are de
scribed as much larger than those of any mastodon
that has ever been discovered.* The history of this
mammoth is involved in doubt, and must give rise
to great speculation, in many ways. We expect to
see some American Cuvier turning the lamp of
■ science and study on these huge fragments and out
of these membra disjecta, filling up an outline of a
■ monster,’such as was never dreamed of.
' The spring, whence the bones were taken, is the
principal source of the Wakulla river, and must in
itself be one of the wonders of the world. Though
very similar in its accessories, in extent it is vastly
superior to the Fountain of Vaucluse, famed for its
romantic effect, and as the scenes of the loves of
Petrarch and Laura. There are yet and, in Jus
age of steam, probably there will be no such ro
mantic associations around Wakulla Spring—but
its peculiar beauty and magnificence will give it
fame.' The spring at its brim is nearly a regular
circle. From the South side of the rim at its
commencement, .one-third of the distance across
towards the North, appears the mouth of what
seems to be, and doubtless is, an immense horizon
tal. cavern, pointing, and discharging the water
from its recesses towards the North, or two-thirds
portion already described. The roof of this cavern,
composed also of a lime rock, where it is seen
terminating, and it is seen distinctly at every point,
presents an irregular and jagged outline, commen
cing on the east and west side, about equi-distant
from the rim on either side, and at the depth of 60
feet, it rises in the form of an irregular arch to
within 25 feet of the surface of the water. A con
siderable portion along its greatest elevation is
quite thin, and a number of holes or fissures may
be seen penetrating quite through the water
beneath.
The greatest depth of the water, which has a
blueish green tinge, when viewed, in any direction
but perpendicularly, is 114 feet; the mouth of the
great cavern 89 feet in perpendicular height, and
the width of the mouth at ite bottom 200 feet,
and the distance across the spring at the rim is in
every direction nearly four hundred feet. The wa
ter is so transparent that a boat on its smooth sur
face has the appearance of being suspended or
floating in mid air at a great height. In this sul
try weather, it - is refreshing to think of so noble
a fountain of pure and cool waters. In .classic
times with how many lovely nymphs and fairies
would not this fountain have been peopled 1

To oor Democratic Friends!
We have a proposition to make. It is this: -As
soon as one hundred new paying subscribers can
be obtained in Lancaster county we will enlarge
the “IrtTitilosncxE so as to add four columns of
reading matter to each number If one or two ac
tive men in each township and borough will make
the effort we have no doubt treble that number
car, be obtained in a few weeks. What say our
Democratic friends to the (proposition? Who will
be the first to move in the matter?
Public Documents. —Our acknowledgements
are due to Gen. Cass and Mr. Sturgeon of the
Senate, and Mr. Stevens, of the House, for pub. doc.
H7*The; AUo Californian of May 15, for a copy
of which we are indebted to our friend, G. W. Ba
rer, Esq., contains the particulars of another de
vastating conflagration which occurred at San
Francisco on the 4th. About 300 buildings were
burned, and the entire loss ol real and personal
property is estimated at about $4,000,000! The
fire is supposed to have been the work of incendia
lies. The paper referred to contains a diagram of
the burned district—from which it appears that,
with two or three exceptions, the buildings on three
entire squares were consumed, as also several hou
ses on a fourth or adjoining one.
The Crops.
The farmers ot this county are just about finish
ing the labors of the hay field, and never has there
been a finer crop housed, whether it regards quan
tity or quality.
The wheat and rye crops are very heavy, and
are now ready lor the sickle or cradle. The recent
reireshing showers have wonderiully improved the
spring crops, and oats, corn and potatoes bid fair to
be abundant Fruit, also, will be very plenty.
Take it altogether, it has been one of the most
productive seasons we have ever witnessed. Truly
Providence has been kind to us beyond our deserts,
for which we should be exceedingly thankful.
George Munday.
This eccentric individual visited-.our city last 1
week, and delivered three lectures to large audien
ces in the Market Square. He was peculiarly
severe in his remarks against Judges, Lawyers,
Doctors, and Preachers, and the way he bore down
upon fashionable pews was a caution to church
going folks. George is a genius, and no mistake —
a rara avis in his way. He talks “ like a book,”
and if he don’t make the fur fly off those who come
within reach of his scathing ridicule and withering
invective, it must be because their hides are imper
vious to the truth. George is an odd fish, and has
odd ways with him. He considers a hat a useless
incumbrance, and therefore dispenses with the arti
cle altogether, no matter what may he the state of
the weather. George is a republican in feeling, and
thinks that a man in ruffles is no better than he
should be. He despises all foreign fiddlers and
dancers, and has therefore no friendly feelings to
ward Ole Bnll, Paganini, Fanny Esler and others of
the same ilk. But we must stop. A column
would not •suffice to enumerate all his peculiarities.
Take him all in all, and he is about as strange a
compound of mind and matter as can be found any
where in Christendom.
Tbe Fourth of July.
Thursday next will be the seventy-fourth Anni
versary of our National Independence—and we
hope to see it commemorated in such a way as
shall evince our gratitude as American citizens to
those worthies, who, under the guidance of Hea
ven. achieved our liberties. Truly, “the lines have
fallen to us in pleasant places'.” From feeble be
ginnings we.have grown, with a rapidity unequalled
in the annals of history, to be the mightiest nation
on the face of the earth—and what were once
thirteen sparsely populated colonies, confined to the
territory between the Atlantic Ocean and the Al
leghany Mountain, are now thirty mighty sove
reignties, composing a Republic that stretches
across the continent from ocean to ocean. The
“ stars and stripes” of our country are respected
throughout the world, and the monarchies of Europe
stand aghast at our unparalleled advancement in
all that constitutes true greatness.
And yet there are those amongst us—in the north
and in the south—who preach up disunion,
who would glory in seeing this mighty fabric of
free government shivered to pieces! and who are
even plotting itß destruction. Heaven grant that
they may be foiled in their unholy eflbrts, and that
our : glorious institutions may be perpetuated to tho
latest' posterity. To preserve them unimpaired,
should be the determination of every patriot heart
and no more appropriate time can be set fipart
to pledge ourselves anew in favor of the Union,
than the ensuing celebration of American Inde
pendence. Would that the spirit which animated
the patriots of ’76, were felt in all its pristine
purity and vigor by the representatives of the peo
ple, at Washington, on Thursday next. It that
were the case, a peaceful and satisfactory settlement
of the difficulties that now engage-their attention,
would be speedily effected.
“ The First Prayer.”
We are indebted to George R. Graham , Esq.,
editor and publisher of that best of periodicals,
Graham's Magazine, lor a copy of his superb pre
mium engraving with the above title. The engra
ving, is done in the highest style of art, and is 18
by 24 inches in size. He proposes sending this
exquisitely finished picture," and another entitled
i “ Christ blessing little Children,” together with his
Magazine, for one year for the sum of $3. These
iuducemeats ought to bring him lots of new sub.
scribers.
ID" We see in the last number of the Erie Ob
server a letter from Judge Thompson, the able mem
ber of Congress from that district, declining a re
nomination. Judge T. has setved his constituents
long and well in Congress, and hu determination
to retire at the end of his present will be a
source of regret to his numerous friends through
out the State.
jr'We learn from the Pennsylvanian, that In
J. M. Foltz, of the Navy, Surgeon at the Wash-1
ington Navy Yard, has been superseded at that sta-!
tion, according to custom, having-occupied it for
two years. During this time he has made hosts of
friends by his skill in his profession, and his cour
teous deportment. Dr. F., we believe, was former
i ly a citizen of this county, and is an ornament to
bis profession.
TnE Cabinet at Baltimobe. —The rabid Gal
phin correspondent of the New York Tribune, wri
ting from Baltimore, says:—“lt is much to be re
gretted, but it is nevertheless the fact, that the
present Administration, so far as a portion of the
Cabinet is concerned, has rendered it peculiarly ob
noxious and unpopular with many of the Whigs
of this city, who were the first to support honest
old Zack Taylor. The injury done the Whig party
cannot easily be remedied.”
, JET The population of Boston at the present
time, it is ascertained, is 138,780 —being an increase
in ten years of 53,789.
New Mexico.
A new element of discord has been thrown into
the councils ot the Nation, by the action oftheiiH
habitants of this Territory in forming »
stitution and demanding admission into the Union.
And the excitement aid iU feeling in CongrMi has
been increased by the present belief at Wmdung
ton tliat this step has been taken at the instigation,
or through the persuasion ot the ministration.—
We are" fearful' thrit this precipitate movement
will throw insuperable difficulties in the way of
adjusting the Slavery question, and that the excite
ment will increase in intensity, so as to prevent
any satisfactory settlement of that knotty subject
Should this turn out to be so—arid should it prove
true, upon investigation, that.the administration has
urged New Mexico to take this step—what a fear
iul responsibility Gen. Taylor has been made to as
sume by his Cabinet? In our humble opinion one
of two things will follow this New Mexico busi
ness ;—either it will have the effect to expedite a
settlement of the . great question before Congress,
or else it will render a satisfactory adjustment im
practicable. We hope for the best, and shall look
with much anxiety to the proceedings of Congress
which may be expected to grow out of this move
ment. Had Mr. Clay’s hill once become a law,
New Mexico would have been provided with a
territorial government, and at the proper time,
when her population was sufficiently large and of
the right kind, would have presented herself before
Congress with a State constitution, with or without
slavery as her people might determine,. and her
admission follow as a matter of course. As it is.
we think the movement premature and ill-advised,
and are the more, strengthened in this impression
from the fact, based upon information promulgated
by the delegate from New Mexico, Mr. Smith,
that in a population of about ninety thousand, there
are but twelve ot fifteen hundred American citizens
—the remainder being composed of half-civilized
Mexicans and Spaniards, and some ten or twelve
thousand Pueblo Indians. The number of Ameri
cans is too small to think of a State governfhent
and it may well be questioned whether the motley
crew of Mexicans, Spaniards and Indians are the
right kind of people to undertake the control of a
sovereign State of this Union. This case is entire
ly different from the application ol California,
where the population is mainly coposed of Ameri
can citizens, many of whom are highly intelligent,
and all of whom are capable of exercising the
rights peculiar to State sovereignty. The latter
ought to be admitted without hesitation—the form
er should be placed under the tutelage of a Territo
rial government until she is fully qualified to enter
the great sisterhood of States. These are our no
tions of the matter.
gjr- The Examiner & Herald has a tjueer way
of making it appear that Gen. Jackson was in fa
vor of paying the Galphin claim, by producing the
testimony of Mr. Forsyth before an investigating
Committee of Congress, who emphatically states
that the President (Gen. Jackson,) refused to permit
an article respecting it to be put into the treaty. If
this is the kind of evidence relied’ upon by our
neighbor, to substantiate his charge against Gen.
Jackson, we hardly suppose he will be able to sat
isfy his readers of the truth of his allegation.
The Washington Republic, the Galphin Organ,
is not so bold as the Examiner & Herald—but,
nevertheless, in the course of a long article defend,
ing that barefaced swindle, has the unblushing as
surance to assert that Gen. Jackson would have
sanctioned the validity ot that iniquitous claim,
if he had lived The impudence of this reckless
assertion, and its kindred one made by our neigh
bor, is only equalled by the bold and daring pecu
lations committed by the party in power. The
good old patriot of the Hermitage never was guilty
of a dishonest or dishonorable act in the course of
his eventful life, and it wont do, at this late day.
for the Galphins to make use ot his honored name
to hide the iniquity of their own base misdoings.
Cheap Postage.
Now.is the time for the country papers to strike
for cheap postage. The bill reported by Senator
Rusk, contemplates some wholesome reforms, the
reduction of the postage on letters to two cents, the
abolition of the franking privilege, &c., but it does
not- embody the alteration ot the present law for
\ which thecountry press have universally contended:
the free circulation of every paper within the county
or representative district in which it is printed.—
That’s our ultimatum! Let the country press of.
all parties repudiate all Congress men who do not
support this measure.— Williamsport Gazette.
We second the motion our heart—and
if we could hope to have any influence with the
member of Congress from this district, Mr. Ste
vens, we would urge him to exert his talents and
influence in favor of a free circulation of newspa
pers, in every county of every State in which they
are printed.
A Danbebous Counterfeit. —The Reading
journal says, several Ten Dollar noteß on the new
Bank of Danville, were passed in the vicinity of
Reading within the last few days.—They are cal
culated to deceive, as no counterfeits have been re
ported upon this Bank. They may be readily de
tected by the central vignette, which in the coun
terfeit,is an eagle.—The genuine 10’b of this Bank

full blast, with men at work, sc, The public
should be on their guard in receiving the notes of
this Bank, as soveral men passed through Reading
a few days ago, engaged in passing off these notes.
The Germans who Perished in the Grif
fith. —The Geiman Staats Zeitung, of New York,
states that the number of Germans who perished
in this fatal disaster, was one hundred and fifty.—
They were most of them from the Grand Duchy
of Baden. The Germans in Cleveland formed a
committee to provide for the proper and decent
interment of their corpses. The committee went
to the spot where the bodies were lying, and deter
mined to purchase it, to have them buried there,
and to have the spot enclosed, and a monument
erected over them. It is now ascertained that there
were on board the Griffith, when she took fire, 2u6
deck passengers, 45 cabin passengers, and 25 of
crew; making a total of 336, of whom only 35
were rescued.
jp- The Free SoiLers in the Connecticut Legis
lature, who hold the balance of power in that body,
have succeeded in preventing the election of a U.

of things is likely to exist in the Maine Legisla

Mewnra. Claysmat^ooP® 1 *
We dip the following article from the Cham
bersburg Intelligencer, one of the leading Whig pa
pers of the State, whose editor is not willing that
any portion of hit political friend* shall reed
s». Clay and Cooper out of the party. He thinks,
and rightly too, that they have too long and faith
, fully served their party to be thus unceremoniously
thrust otit of it, and he is not willing .to stand qui
etly by and see them guillotined .before his eyes.—
We hope the Examiner 4r Herald, of this city, whose
editor, if we are correctly advised, has.always been
a devoted friend of Mr. Clay, will follow this praise
worthy example of his Whig contemporary, and
fire one gun, at least, into the guerilla ranks:
We have already alluded to the conduct of our
political opponents, and a few members of the Whig'
party, in attempting to cause a quarrel between
Messrs. Clay and Cooper, and President Taylor, and
‘their respective friends, and we cannot bnt express
regret that the North American should even indirect
ly countenance this ill advised policy. A Gettys
burg correspondent of that paper says:
As ever, they [the Whigs of Adams county,} are
faithful to their colors, and will not be seduced from.
their allegiance by the efforts of factious politicians,
nor will they give countenance to the standalone
course pursued towards the State and National Ad
ministrations > by one , now in a prominent position,
and formerly a resident of this town . They took
pleasure in contributing to the election of President
Tavlor, and they are not the men now to desert
him. Whether the attempt to break him down be
made by a Pennsylvanian , a Kentuckian , or the res
ident of any other State, their rebuke will be un
sparingly. administered.”
The Daily News, we think very properly, rebukes I
both the N. American and its correspondent We
are not like the News, acquainted with the source !
of this attack, but the bitterness and injustice with
which two persons in the first ranks of the party
one of them having been its acknowledged leader
for years—have been assailed, give strength to the
suspicion that it has been prompted by personal
prejudice and enmity. The hold which Henry
Clay has taken upon the heart of Pennsylvania is
not a spider web to be broken by the breath of an,
anonymous scribbler for a newspaper ever so res
pectable. His virtues, his genius and his services
to the party and the cause of humanity, will be
remembered, admired and rewarded by a gratelul
posterity, long after the present unfortunate differ
ence of opinion between hinp and President Taylor
has been forgotten.
Convicted of Bigamy.
J ames Hardy, alias 'Rev. Mathew S. Allen, has
just been convicted of bigamy at the Supreme
Court in Lockport, Judge Marvin presiding. The
particulars of this case are somewhat curious, and
are pregnant with warning. At the age of 22
years he made his appearance at Hempstead, L. L,
in the character of a Methodist Episcopal Minister,
and was soon married into a respectable family.—
Previous to this marriage, as is now proved, he had
in several instances been a seducer, and ever after
wards continued in the career of an unprincipled
libertine. He ill treated his wife, and finally aban
doned-her and his four children. After
Long Island', he successively imposed himself upon
congregations in Delaware, Lowell, Mass., and in
Kingston, C. W. In July last, he offered himself
as a clerical candidate to the Presbyterian Church
in Lewistown, and succeeded, by means of forged
certificates, lauding his talents and piety, in ob
taining a ministerial engagement. He preached
with no little applause, although it was soon dis
covered by the discerning few, that his sermons
were mainly plagiarisms—the patchwork of other
men’s labors. He floated for a while swimmingly
on the flood tide of village popularity, and soon
contracted marriage with the daughter of one of
the most respectable citizens of Lewistown. But
his superior personal appearance and his wiley
address, could not permanently sustain him. With
in a few weeks after this second marriage, evidence
of his spurious character as. a clergyman, and of
his previous iniquities came to light, and he was
arrested and committed for bigamy. On trial, he
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to labor in the
State prison of Auburn, for the term ot five yeafs.
A degree of precaution and scrutiny, such as is
exercised in all the more important transactions of
business life, would probably have saved the good
people of Lewistown from so vile an imposition.—
New York Courier.
A Whig’s opinion of Ctalpl
Some of the Whig letter writers from Washing
ton, unlike our Whig contemporaries of this city,
are too independent to cloak up the Galphin swin
dle, perpetrated by the Cabinet ot the “ Second
Washington." One of these writing to the Wash
ington (Pa.) Commonwealth, a thorough-going
Whig paper, says:
“I must say what I think in regard to this affair.
Whether Democrat or Whig be concerned, this
whole Galphin claim is a mass of cheating and cor
ruption, by which a quarter million dollars have
been filched from the public treasury, one half of
which has gone intd'the private pocket of the Sec
retary of War—not one cent was ever due from
the United States, and not one cent was ever au
thorized to be paid by law.”

misfortune, has again made its appearance, and

Anti-War Whiggery.
Two years ago, says the Pennsylvanian, the
Whigs of this State never held a meeting without
denouncing Mr. Polk and the Democratic party, on
account of the Mexican war. Not only was the
commencement of the war charged to be the act of
. Mr. Polk, but it was constantly proclaimed that no
cause existed to justify it. Those who opposed it
in Congress were prime favorites with the Whigs.
Corwin's bold bad speech was copied and circula
ted in myriads by the Whigs, and Whig praises
were showered upon its author. Not a word was
spoken against the men who, by opposing the war,
received the gratitude of Mexico. In short, to op
pose the war, .to vote against it in Congress, to re
sist all applications for supplies to our brave army,
and, finally, to sympathize with the common ene
my—these were as essentially a part of the Whig
creed, as to oppose the Democratic party is at the
present day. Since that time, no change in the
policy of the Whigs has taken place until recently.
Now it is discovered that to have voted against the
war is to establish a title to public disapprobation.
The party that was the only obstacle to an early
peace, and the strong sympathizer with Mexico,
now refuses nominations to those who have been
ready to carry out its commands!
Having thrown Mr. Stbohm overboard for. his
course against the war, the least that the Whigs in
the late State Convention could have done, would
have been to pass a resolution that* the war was a
righteous one, and that they were guilty of false
hood and something worse, in so long and bitterly
opposing it. They have failed to do this, but the
impression of their confession of wrong is not the
less generally known. They have thus lost the op
portunity of admitting what it would be folly for
them to attempt' now to deny.
National Common School Con-
ventlon.
This body is to hold its second session in the city
of Philadelphia on the fourth Wednesday (28th) of
August, 1850,
At its first session the following resolutions were
adopted:
First. That this Convention will meet in the
City of Philadelphia, on the Fourth Wednesday m
August, A. D. 1850.
• Second. That in the judgement of this Conven
tion the Friends of Education in all its departments
ought to be enlisted in its deliberations, and that in
issuing notices, or an address for the next annual
meeting, the address should be so framed as to com
prehend both those interested in Common Schools,
and those connected with Colleges, Academies, and
other Institutions. * •
■ Third. That the President of this Convention
be requested to prepare, on this principle, a short
address, to be published by the Committee at least
three months before the next meeting urging the
attendance of the Friends of Education throughout
the country.
Under the last ol these resolutions the President,
Hoßi.cz Math?, has issued an eloquent address j
which we have received, but have not space now
to insert. Nor is it necessary, as the friends of
Common Schools in this State will be fully repre
sented, by the delegates appointed by the State Con
vention held in Harrisburg last January.
Reports upon the following topics it is expected
will be made by Committees appointed at the last
meeting of the Convention:
1. Territorial or civil of the State-
involving the extent to which the District System
should be carried, and the modifications of which
the same is susceptible.
2 School jlrchileclure —including the location,
size, modes of ventilation, warming and seating, &c.
ot buidings intended for educational purposes.
3. School Jltendance —including the school age
of children, and the best mode of securing a regu
lar and punctual attendance of children at school.
4. Grades of Schools— the number and charac
ter of esah grade.
5 Course of Instruction— Physical, Intellectual,
Moral and Religious, Esthetical, Industrial. Studies
—Books, Apparatus, Methods.
6. Teachers— Their Qualifications—their Ex
amination and Compensation—Normal Schools,
Teachers’ Institutes, Books on tha Theory and
Practice of Teaching.
7. Support —Tax on Propartv, Tax on Parents,
School Fund.
8. Supervision— State,‘County, Town.
9. Parental and public interest,
10. Supplementary Means—Library, Lyceum
Lectures.— Ex. If Her.
Tai Brines Courti Gold Miss.—We learn
from the Hamburg Schnellpost, that the agent of a
Company in New York recently visited the mine
ol Mr. Focht, in .Windsor township, for the pur
pose of ascertaining its value, and negotiating for its
purchase. After a careful examination ol the
“pigeer,” he offered *lOOO for each acre through
wMgh it extended, but Mr. Focht, after considera
tion, refused to sell, determining to work the mine
himsgjf, and enjoy all the profit which may be de
rived from it. According to the statement of the
agent, the Mine contains very little gold, but an
abundance of the purest silver.
jyy-Two notorious counterfeiters, named War
burton alias Bristol Bill and Charles Meadows,
were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in the

plunged the blade of a large case knife full three
nches into his neck, just back of the right ear.

JETIt is estimated that the amount of Coal now
annually mined on the banks of the Ohio and its
tributaries, cannot be less than 35,000,000 bushels
worth, at the points of consumption, not less than
*2,500,000. The rate of yearly increase is proba
bly not less than 20 and perhaps 25 per cent. At
New Orleans, this rate of increase is said to be mors
than 33 per cent, per annum; and the yearly con
sumption of that city is said to have reached 3,000-
000 of bushels. Twenty years ago, says the Louis
ville Journal, the idea of using coal as fuel on river
steamboats was regarded as preposterous, and now
it is a question whether this will not, in a few
years, be the fuel exclusively used on boats between
Pittsburg and New Orleans.
There have been several arrivals from Europe
within the last week or two, but the new is not of
much importance. The news electoral bill had
passed the French Assembly, disfranchising over
three millions of voters, but so far the government
of Louis Napoleon has been able to keep down any
rising of the people.
Mihister to Ehoeahr. Washington. June 25.
The Senate yesterday confirmed Mr. Lawrence as
Minister to England.
The last Harrisburg Telegraph contains the fol*
lowing synopsis of a decision in* curious- “Will
Case,” the Court, now in session:
long m. Zadk. Error to Bedford. In this can
thetestator made his mark —the scrivener attached
the wrong name to it—Jacob Long instead ofDa
vid Long. The will was dated in 1844. Testator
died<in 1848. The Coart below rejected the will.
Gibson C. J. .Under the act of 1833, this'exe
cution would be imperfect; that act allowing the
name of the testator to be written by another. . But
this is not the name of the testator. The right to
make wills is a positive, not natural right; and the
directions of the statute must be followed.
But the act of 1848, when a mark is made, dis
penses with the name, as an essential part of the
signature, as it dies with the mark, when the name
is written by another fey his direction. ■ The im
pertinent ipark, as it could not corroborate, ought
to weaken it. True, a name is an index to the
mark, but does not conclusively point to the marks
man; he may be individuated % proof aliunde. —
Had the act of 1848 said nothing about the name,
the mark without a label attached to it—and the
name is no morethan a label—would have satisfied
the statute, and nothing else would have done it.—
As we have the testator’s true and proper mark,
the attachment of a false and improperlabel.to it,
is a surplusage which never vitiates. The mistake
of the scriviner in affixing such a label, cennot a
void that which was perfect without kt. The. fal
lacy is in supposing that the name under the statute
governs the mark, when there is one, instead of be
ing governed by it. The name affixed by the scri
vener may intimate a falsehood; but the. mark,
when it is made by the testator, never. The latter
when proved to be genuine, may satisfy the statute;
the former, without the testator’s authority, cannot.
This will was made before the act of 1848, but
the death was after it—and the will, contrary to
the opinion of the Court below, is ruled by it.
Judgment reversed. King, for plaintiff in error;
Cox, contra.
The Pacific News of April 29th, has a very sin
gular article in relation to an alleged discovery Of
a mountain composed entirely of gold and silver.
The first mention made of this most marvellous of.
nature's productions, was in a letter written to the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, which/ht the time
was thought to be a. clever parody on the wonder-
ful accounts from California. Subsequently aprty a
of emigrants, fitted out for a'spot about sixty miles
east of Pueblo de los Angelos, having hearf of the
existence of vast quantities of gold in another di
rection, changed its destination. We continue with
the relation given by the News:
The route lay in a northeast direction from the
place of departure, and full of difficulties. Striking
the Mahahve river, they followed its course some
distance, crossing and recrossing as necessity com
pelled, some days as often as fifteen times, leaving
it where it makes a bend to the southeast, toward
the Colorado into which it empties. Obstacles
were encountered at various parts of the journey
almost insurmountable, in the shape of mountains
of rock vvhich they had to climb, and mountains
of snow which they could not avoid; narrow gorges
through which they had to pass, and still narrower
cliffs along whose crests nothing but a mule could
pass with a prospect of safety, and where the slight
est mis-step would land rider and all hundreds of
feet below; but they pushed on about 230 miles
from the Pueblo, the point for which they started.
Here, among the eastern spurs of the Sierra Ne
vada, they found the object of their search—gold—
aud silver too; and in such quantities as they had
not dreamed of—a perfect mountain of rocks with
silver and gold mingled and commingled in solid
masses, weighing from one to many tons, ihe
quartz proved to be exceeding hard, to such a de
gree that, during their short stay, all their imple
ments, made for this particular purpose before start _
ing, were completely worn out in the operation ot
drilling and blasting.
The strangest part of the whole discovery is yet
to be toldi These large boulders of gold, silver and
quartz have the gold in the south end and the sil
ver in the north end. No exceptions were found in
their examinations, the silver being the most abun
dant of the two. In the words ot the person who
was on the spot, “there is enough of silver there to
sink every ship in this harbor."
Possibly some may look upon this account as a |
jest, and, so far as the practicability of putting the
discovery to any use at present is concerned, it is
so. All the water to be found for miles and miles
I around is highly impregnated with salt or saterat
us, or both. Not a single drop of water free from
one or the other of these properties did one of the
party get the ten days of their stay. The whole re
gion is a perfect waste, and disease and death must
inevitably follow any prolonged stay. On their re
turn they met a large company going to the same
spot A true statement of the difficulties and dan
gers of a further prosecution of the expedition in

Forrest and Willis.
Quite a controversy is going on in the N. York
and Philadelphia papers respecting a richly de
served caning that the former recently gave the
latter in the Park. A man that would tamper
with and assist in destroying the peace of a family,
as the latter did, (if we are to believe the evidence
before the public,) deserves all and much more than
he got and we are amongst those who believe that
Mr Forrest did nothing more than any other hon
orable, high-minded man would have done, under
similar circumstances.
