Carlisle Correspondence.
Carlisle, July 29, 1850.
Dear Editor:—You. have requested another com
muuicalion from me—hut in doing so you know
not what you ask, for u news” is an empty sound
here, and when there is no material to work upon,
of what account is my labor? However, should
my head become sore from scratching up ideas,
something niust be' said, and whether interesting
or otherwise, you and your readers are to .be th&
judges.
Although this town is pretty much at a stan
still, I returned to it after an absence of a few
months, to find someßanges. The green West
has called many good citizens to its embrace.
California, sparkling in golden light, has won oth
ers to endure its hardships; a few have sacrificed
themselves on the altar of Hymen, and some are
sweetly resting in the w happy grave.” Amid all
the confusion of changes, a very little personage,
though gigantic in power, has been working rapid
ly and surely, slaying all whom experience had
not fore-warned. r ’Tis Cupid, (mischievous god!)
who," with his arrows, has pierceS'the hearts of
many “ brave sons and fair daughters.” He, Alex
ander-like, must have worlds —of hearts —at his
r command. You certainly, Captain, have not grown
too philosophical to enjoy a small bit of sentiment
now and then. Allow me if you please, space for
a short “ Romance oj Real Life”
Some few years ago, a youthful aspirant for fame
left his mothers side to enter upon the duties of
academic fife. His parent’s pride and joy, his hap
piness, in all things, was to gain her -approbation ;
but,-alas!—the Ladies soon distracted hi? attention,
and his visits to the fair sex were corataint and un
remitting. One fair daughter of Eve in particular
■>was the point of attraction. After a mutual inter,
change of thought, these youngsters found their
tastes, feelings and opinions exactly coincide... He
called soon to see her—and that visit was but the
precursor of many others. They promenaded by
moon-light, and fhe stars almoat hid themselves in
fear for the continuance of such happiness on earth.
Their love was .mutual, and as the tender passion
is of all others best calculated to create a stir
among the jnuses, the young gentleman began to
cultivate his-talent for Poetry, delighted beyond
measure in having found a congenial spirit in the
fair one who occupied such a conspicuous place in
his affections.
s Twas an evening of loveliness—the Poet and
his loved one sat by the open window convening,
in a low, but earnest tone. “ See you,” she ex
claimed, “ that ‘stah beyond yondah locust tree ? I
admiah it mohe for its stationarahness, than for its
peculiah brilliancy—that stah is emblematical of
my love ioh thee!”. The Poet was in ecstacy, and
broke forth in most impassioned until from
fancy’s land they were snatched by the musical
bellow of a cow / The lady fainted from affright—
but was soon restored to consciousness by the ten
der assiduities of the lover. They still enjoy
“Love's Young Dream” and busy-bodies will
have it that at no distant day their hearts, hands
and fortunes will be joined indissolubly together.
But a truce to Romance, as well as every other
species of composition—for I am sick and tired to
death of writing. we had a great
time of it in this “anCient and venerable Borough.”
The mock funeral of General Taylor took place,
which drew together quite a large crowd of people
from town and country. The pageant was grand,
and the military display by the U, S. troops from
the Barracks and Volunteers added much to the
fine appearance of the Procession. The Address
delivered by the Hon. Fred. Watts is spoken ol
as a very fine production, But lam transcending
my limits, and shall say nothing more.
You see; dear Editor, I have succeeded in writing
something. Should it not exactly please your
taste—which I can hardly expect—you must
_„make due allowance lor the difficulties under which
has labored Your friend, the
NOVICE.

As the taking of the census, &c. will soon
commence, it should be remembered that
every facility extended to the assistant mar

.their tables so much, the more valuable, as
authentic and reliable statistics of the popu
lation, resources and productions of the coun

of subjects, and may appear inqusitive to
some persons, but we hope that they will be
freely answered, as the information ' sought
is of great value to the public.— Union.
JD~The Democratic press will not pursue the
* disreputable course the Whig papers did ten- years
ago, when every possible difficulty was thrown in
the way of the. Marshals, and all manner of false
hoods and misrepresentations resorted to in order to
throw odium upon the then Democratic adminis
tration of Mr. Van Buren. Our readers of both
parties will recollect the conduct of the Whig press
at that period, and the stotiep they so industriously
circulated among the people—knowing them to be
false—about standing armies, taxation, gold spoons,
&c. &c.— Ed. Intelligencer.
Virginia Tobacco Crop. —The Richmond
Whig speaks of gloomy accounts from all parts.of
the country. The late drought is said to have in
flicted a degree of injury scarcely known in the
history of Virginia farming. The tobacco crop,
especially, seems to have suffered more than any
other. In the county of .Nottoway, the heart of a
great tobacco region, the crop will not be one fourth
of an average one. From Goochland, IJowhattan,
Fluvanna, Buckingham, Albemarle, Charlotte, Hal
ifax, Prince Edward, indeed from the entire tobacco
regkfh, we hear reports equally unfavorable.
The Crops in Ohio.
The Columbus, (0.) Journal of Saturday week
has the following gratifying intelligence:—
“ Our exchanges come to us with glorious ac
counts of the crops of Ohio. Our wheat crop is
excellent, botK’in quantity and quality. Probably
there never was so abundant a crop raised in this,
the first wheat State in the" Union. It is now all
harvested and secured. Our loss last year was
probably folly ten millions of bushels.”

The funeral pageant in h ,Jllur 'h e I &,e P res ‘"
dent Tat lor took place, in this City, on Saturday
last. A Procession was formed about 10 o’clock,
composed of the Mayor and Councils, Members of
the Bar and of the different Professions, School Di
rectors the several Beneficial Associations, Fire
Companies and Citizens—accompanied by appro
priate Music —and altogether making quite a hand
some display, although not so large as was antici
pated, in consequence, we presume, of the threaten
ing appearance of the weather. After marching
through several of the principal streets, under the
direction of the' Chief Marshall, accompanied by
his Aids and Assistants, all of whom were on
horseback, the Procession halted at the Lutheran
Chucch, where an appropriate and highly eloquent
eulbgium was pronounced by Rev. Samuel Bow
man, D. D. At the close ol the ceremonies in the
Church, the large assemblage was dismissed.
- During the march of the Procession the Stores
and other places of business were closed—the bells
were tolled and minute guns fired, adding much to
the solemnity of the occasion.
-It was a fitting tribute of respect to the memory
of a Patriot, who, during a long fife in the service
of his country, .had earned for himself a niche high
in the Temple of Fame, and whose death is regret
ted by the whole American people.
07" A. Both. Hamilton; Esq. has retired from
the Pennsylvanian , and is succeeded by W. V. Mc-
Kean, Esq., a young gentleman of fine talents and
excellent business habits. The editorial department
still remains under the charge of the-Halented and
energetic Forney.
07* We learn from the Saturday Express that
Mr. Meeser has retired from that establishment.—
For the present it is conducted by Mr. Pearsol alone.
The Balloon Ascension
On Saturday next will draw an immense crowd
of people to this City, from our own and the neigh
boring counties. Our estimate is not that “all the
world and the rest of mankind” will be here, but
that thousands of our fellow citizens will embrace
the opportunity afforded to witness what promises
to be one of the grandest and most magnificent
sights ever seen in these diggins. The ascension
is to take place we learn from the lot of Mr. Bren
eman, opposite Franklin College, in North Lime
Street, where Mr. Wise and his fellow passengers
will bid adieu, for the time being, to terra Jlrma,
and take their flight into the upper regions of the
atmosphere.
The following account of a singular Balloon As
cension, which took place in Paris, on the 7th inst.,
[b taken from a letter published in the New York
Courier. The-letter is dated Bth of July, and the
writer says:—
Yesterday I was witness, as was all Paris, of a
balloon ascension, which was perhaps unique in the
history of aerostation. Margot ascended in 1820,
mounted upon a stag, but both he and stag were in
an ordinary car. Yesterday. M. Poitein ascended
on horseback; and without a car. The horse a fine
and spirited young white animal, was suspended
beneath the balloon, in the place usually occupied
by the car. Bands passed beneath the belly and
well seenred, left the animal in an easy position,
with the legs free. M. Poitevin, clothed as a jock
ey, mounted the horse, which was saddled and bri
dled in the ordinary manner, and gave orders to cut
loose. The horse seemed loth to quit his mother
earth, and remonstrated a little when he found that
he was being taken off of his feet. But once in
,the air he became as motionless as though he had
been struck with paralysis. He must, in fact, have
been not a little astonished, and itprobably was that
astonishment which struck him dumb and motion-
less. They moved off and up rapidly, now hid,
now seen amid the clouds in a north-east direction.
We have not yet had accounts of the descent and
do not know whether it was happily and safely ef
fected.
Neutral luk.
Mr. W. Meeser, of this City, has furnished us
with a sample of this unrivalled ink, the inveniion
of our townsman, Dr. Wm. B. Fahnestock. We
copy the following notice of it from the Pennsylva
nian of Thursday last, all of which, from having
tested the article ourself, we can fully endorse:
“We write this paragraph with Fahnestock’s
Neutral Ink, the properties of which cannot fail to
commend it to universal attention and patronage.
It contains no acid, gathers no sediment, and flows
freely until the last drop on the point of the pen is
exhausted. * Unlike all other inks, it does not cor
rode either pen or paper, and in our presence, while
oxalic acid obliterated ordinary^ink, the Neutral Ink
defied every effort that was made even to pale its
deep black color. These properties have long puz
zled chemists and others, and will make the discov
ery of the Neutral Ink a great event for the preser
vation of records, and for all public purposes. The
English government have offered a premium for an
ink without corrosive qualities, and there is no
country, where ink, of this description, would not
be immediately adopted for public records, mercan
tile and banking purposes, and general correspon
dence. The inventor of the Neutral Ink is Dr. W.
B. Fahnestock, of Lancaster, in this State, an ac
complished chemist, welt known for his scientific
attainments. He has been four years in its piepa
ration, and now challenges competition: The right
of disposing of the ink, for the United States, is
vested in Messrs. W. Meeser and Henry Gibbs, of
Lancaster, and for Philadelphia, in Beates.& Baker,
wholesale druggists, corner of Third and New- sts.
Not the least important consideration of all is the
fact, that it can be furnished as cheaply as, any of
the best quality of inks now in use. ]
Io~The last Bedford Gazette has a rejoinder to
a reply of the Lancaslerian, in reference to a notice
of Col. Frazer’s speech at the Williamsport Con
vention, by the former paper. This may have been
well enough—but we regret to see the Gazette trav
elling so far out of the record, as to drag into the
controversy the name of Mr. Buchanan. Such
displays, iri our humble opinion, are not calculated
to do any good—and we hope our friend, Gen. Bow
man, for whom we entertain the highest respect,
will refrain from such a course for the future, un
less there should be absolute uecessity for doing so.
The Storm at Danville. —A letter from Dan
ville of the 25th inst., says:—“We have not yet re
covered from the disastrous effects of the late storm.
Thousands upon thousands of shocks of wheat and
rye floated down the Susquehanna. Part of our
borough was inundated, and accessible only through
boats. Several of our iron establishments were
compelled to stop—among others the Montour Rol
ling. Mills, the fly-wheel being over five' feet under
water. The farmers on the low lands have lost an
immense amount of property.”
[D~We regret to perceive that there are two
Democratic candidates in the field, for Congress, in
the district composed of Westmoreland, Cambria
and Bedford counties—A. McKinney, of Westmore-
and Joseph McDonald, of Cambria. This
is extremely unfortunate at this peculiar juncture
of affairs, as, if both remain in the field, there is
danger of a Whig being elected in that strong
Democratic district. 5 We sincerely trust this diffi
culty may be healed without delay, and that the
Democracy of those counties may present an un
broken front to the common enemy. It would be
a lasting disgrace if such a district, with a Demo
cratic majority of at least 2,000, should be repre
sented in the next Congress by a Galphin Whig.
ID 3 * Several splendid Farms, in, Lancaster county
are in the market. See advertising columns.
«U* S. Senator.
The following axficle we copy from the Valley
Spirit) a sound Democratic journal published at
fchambersburg, Pa., and recommend it to the atten
;tion of our Democratic readers. The objection to
the present-mode ofinominating U S Senators carries
great force witih. it, an<£cannot fail to impress all
with its unfairness. The reform proposed is worthy
the attention of our Democratic friends throughout
the State, a«Lwe fiopeTo see the subject agitated
by the piess until a change is effected:
We do not altogether like.the present mode of
selecting candidates for United States Senator, and
.we hope that the next Democratic Convention
which assembles in Pennsylvania will reform the
system so far as our party is concerned. We care
not what plan the opposition pursues.
When the time for electing a Senator comes
round, the Democratic members of the Legislature
meet in caucus and select the candidate. The gen
tleman thus selected is (and properly too, under the
system,) regarded as the choice of the entire party,
when in fact nearly one half of the party have had
no voice or influence in the selection. In a Dem
ocratic legislative caucus, the Democrats residing
in counties in which whig influences predominate,
no matter how large the Democratic vote and bow
small the whig majority, have no voice whatever
in the selection of the man who is to expound their
principles in the Forum of the Nation. The choice
is made entirely by the Democratic counties, in
accordance with usage but in violation of justice.
Perry county has a voice and a vote in the matter;
while Franklin with double, and Lancaster and
Allegheny with each treble her Democratic vote,
cannot speak in a whisper and have not a feathers
weight! In fact—to place the absurdity of the
existing system still more prominently before the
reader—the sixteen or eighteen hundred Democratic
voters of Perry have a share in making the nom
ination, while the forty-five or fifty thousand Dem
ocrats residing in the whig counties of the State
are allowed no part or lot in it! Is there no room
for reform here, and should it not speedily come ?
In our opinion, the nomination of candidates for
the U. States Senate ought to be taken out of the
hands of members of the Legislature, and be vested
in the State Convention, to which every county
sends delegates and where the whole body of the
Democracy is represented. What say our cotem
poraries to this ?
“But, one of the principles entertained and car
ried out by Simon Snyder—still held by all good
Democrats—was an open and avowed hostility to'an
increase of Banks or banking Capital, which brought
down upon his devoted head the bitter hatred and
unsparing denunciation of the then Federal (now
Whig) party.”— lntelligencer .
“Those whose memories go so far back as the
last session of the Legislature, will be able to judge
for themselves how far the ‘good democrats’ of the
present day carry out their prdfessed hostility to an
increase of banking capital.
“It is well known to every one who has paid
any attention to the doings of the Legislature for
some years past, that a bank charter is just as cer
tain to pass with a locofoco majority of twenty in
that body, as with a majority of Whigs. To talk
about ‘democratic’ hostility to banks, therefore, is
as bold and impudent an imposture as was ever
contrived by Jo. Smith or any other professor of
humbug.” —Examiner Sr Herald.
D7* We the fact that, in too many
instances, members representing Democratic con
stituencies, have been found the willing instruments
of the money power that seems so potent among
legislators of the Whig stamp; but that they are
truly and sincerely Democrats at heart, or honestly
represent the people who elected them, may well be
questioned. The true Democratic platform on this
subject, was laid down by Simon Snyder, in 1814;
i we believe, in his celebrated veto of the bill creating
! an enormous batch of shaving shops, which after
wards (having passed the Legislature by the Con.
stitutional majority,) proved such a curse to the
people and so disastrous to the prosperity of the
Commonwealth. Simon Snyder was abundantly
sustained in his course by the Democratic jt’umamy
of the State, and to this day his name is held in
grateful remembrance by the honest and upiightof
all parties. The same doctrines were held by the
lamented Shunk. His admirable veto messages,
as well as the doctrines laid down in his annual
messages, are considered text-books for all true
hearted Democrats, and honest “Old Frank’s” name,
lor his fearless course against monopolies of every
kind, will be held in grateful recollection by the
people through all time to come.
The great body of the Democracy are anti-bank
—at least they are opposed to any increase of the
banking capital of the State ; and it will not do
for the Examiner to say that, because a few profes.
sing Democratic members of the Legislature have
proved recreant to their trust, that therefore the
whole* party is corrupt. On the same principle
might the basest treachery and ingratitude be
charged upon the other eleven Disciples, because
the twelfth one—Judas Iscariot—had betrayed his
Lord and Master.
We recollect a case in point. In 1833, Charles
B. Penrose was elected to the State Senate, from
the Cumberland district, as a Democrat pledged in
opposition to the United States Bank. : Tis true a
large majority of the Democrats ot Cumberland
had no faith in his Democracy, and therefore relused
to nominate him-. But the Hon. Jesse Miller, and
other prominent men in the party in Perry county,
thought differently, and succeeded in preventing a
regular nomination at the time, and had him elected
as a volunteer candidate by the aid of Whig 9,
Anti-masons, and a portion of the Democrats.—
Well, he got to the Senate, and one of his first efforts
in that body was an able and eloquent speech in
defence of General Jackson and against the United
States Bank. This was in 1834. In 1835, he
made several speeches in Cumberland county, and
electioneered against the late Col. McClure, then a
candidate for the Assembly on the Wolf ticket, on
the ground that if he (McC.) was elected he would
go for the United States Bank. In 1830, what do
we see 1 this same pretended anti-bank gentleman*
in the very teeth of all his previous declarations’
turned a complete summerset, and, in company
with some three or four other professing Democrats,
succeeded in giving a State charter to that infamous
institution.
No one pretends to say how that Mr. Penrose is
a Democrat—and none who had kept an eye on his
movements as closely las we did, for a year or two
previous to his election to the Senate, can say that
he was then,*or at any previous period, entitled to
the appellation. He was always a Whig at heart,
and has been caressed and cajoled by the Whig
party for the last twenty years. How sensible men t
like Mr. Miller, could ever have been deceived by
such a politician, if deceived they were, is beyond
oar comprehension.
We have adverted to this prominent case in the
history of Bank legislation, to show that the great
body of the Democratic party are not in favor of
Banks, nor are they responsible for the conduct of
those whose have so grossly misrepresented their
wishes. These bank Democrats, as they are called,
are mostly Whigs in disguise,' and the more they
go in for giving a loose rein to bank domination,
the more they ingratiate themselves in the favor
and friendship of the Whig party. We never hear
of a Whig paper condemning one ol these men for
their recreancy to the cherished principles of the
Democratic party. On the contrary, they are petted
and fondled, and in due time rewarded with the
highest honors—as in the case.of Governors Ritner
and Johnson, to say nothing of Henry Clay and other
distinguished statesmen who gave in their adhesion
to the United States Bank.
For the present we leave the readers of the In
telligencer and Examiner to judge whether in stating
that the Democrats, as a party, are opposed to an
increase of Banks or banking capital, we are guilty
of “as bold and impudent .an imposition as was
ever contrived by Jo. Smith or any other professor
of humbug.”
A Marrying Genius. —There is a man in the
New York Penitentiary who has had twenty-seven
wives! He is just thirty-six years of age, and has
been engaged in the matrimonial business ever
since he was sixteen, and has, therefore, had a wife
about every seven months, allowing an interval of
two months for getting rid of the old spouse and
courting the new one. He declares his intention
to increase the number to a hundred before he dies,
if his genius is not cramped within stone walls!
jD**Do you tear that, girls! *
Wblslnconiteitencf^TomConvln.
We see it stated, with a great flourish, in some
of the Whig papers, that President Fillmore had
announced his determination to select no Cabinet
officer from any State that had sent delegates to the
Nashville Convention. -This, perhaps, was a wise
determination—it would have been better policy,
however, to have kept his mind to himself on that
subject, in the present condition of the country.
But, whilst we are not disposed to find fault with
the new President for excluding from his counsels
States that were suspected of entertaining designs
against the integrity of the Union, we do object to
the inconsistency of his conduct in taking to his
confidence, as one 'of his constitutional advisers,
such a man as Corwin, of Ohio, whose course in
the Senate during the Mexican'War approached as
near the crime of treason to his own country, as
it was possible to do, without committing the overt
act itself. A man that would so far insult our gal
lant soldiers who were nobly battling for the rights
and honor of our country in a foreign land, as to
encourage the enemy by telling them to welcome
our troops withlE7““bloody hands and hospitable
graves,” - TQis not a proper person to be Secretary
of the Treasury. No wonder that he was burnt in
effigy, when his speech reached Mexico, by our
brave volunteers then in that country. The ap
pointment is in truth an open insult ’ to the whole
country, and is sufficient of itself to make the pres
ent administration as unpopular as were their Gal
pbin predecessors. This same Corwin was the
leading orator and apologist for Mexico, during the
war, in. the American Congress—and for this,; we
presume, he has been rewarded by the President
with the second post of honor and responsibility in
his administration! Even the State of Pennsylva
nia, as a contemporary very justly observes, with
all her political claimsupon his favor, and with
the fact before his eyes that her sons fought bravely
in the war, was not able to induce him to forego
his settled purpose of placing this arch enemy of
the country’s' honor at the head ol the most impor
tant branch of the public service.
The appointment of Corwin is a bad beginning
for the new President. If he is to be the master
spirit of the administration, it will sink so low in
public estimation that the hand of resurrection
cannot reach it.
Rather Equivocal.
The New York Tribune closes an article of more
than a column in length, laudatory of the new Cabi
net with the following left-handed compliment:
“ On the whole, then, we conclude that the new
Cabinet is an able one and will faithfully discharge
its high responsibilities; but it has not been made
up in such manner as to strengthen the Whig party."
We coincide exaactly with Greely, especially in
the latter clause of his paragraph, a portion of
which we have placed in italic.
$3“ We hope that one of the first acts of the new
Administration will be the removal of James R.
Snowden, Treasurer of the Philadelphia Mint. He
is one of the most bitter locpfocos in the State, and
his retention in an important and lucrative office
up to the present time has been a subject of deep
mortification to the Whigs of the interior. If he
had a spark of manly spirit, he would have resigned
as soon as the new administration came into pow
er.—Union ff Tribune.
Does our neighbor want that office himself? It
looks very much like it, when he talks so feelingly*
about the “ deep mortification” the Whigs of the
interior” have to endure at seeing it still filled by a
Democrat. CgJ. Hamersly is about the only
Whig wp know that has experienced any mortifi
cation on the subject—and whether his is a disin
terested sorrow, we shall leave his friend “ Mose n to
determine.
But why does the Union object to the continuance
of Col. Snowden as Treasurer of the Mint. Is it
because he is not honest, capable and 7 attentive to
the responsible duties of his office? Not at all—
none of these things. On the contrary, he is uni
versally acknowledged to be a gentleman of the
strictest integrity, and one of the very best officers
that ever had charge of that Institution—then why
does our neighbor object to his continuance. The
answer is at hand—he is a Democrat , and Co!;- H,,
wants him ousted on that ascount, so that, per
chance he may get it himself—or, at all events, that
it may be filled by a full-blooded, red-mouthed
Whig, of the genuine Galpkin species. There
might be fine pickings there, some day, and the
Galphins would be the 'b'hoys that could feather
their nests, if opportunity was afforded. There is
no danger of the Government losing any thing
with Col. Snowden—whether it would be so for
tunate if a change was made, must be left for time
to determine. At all events, we hardly suppose
Col. H. has much chance for the appointment, in
asmuch as he belongs to that faction of the tesse
lated Galphin Whig party which ivas in the ascen
dant.
Gen. Taylor’s Property.
We regret to see it stated in a letter to the Nerv
York Express , that Gen. Taylor’s family are not
likely to be as comfortable in a pecuniary point of
view, as was generally supposed. He left no will.
We subjoin the following extract fronj the letter
referred to :
“ When he left for Mexico, it is stated, that in
three sealed letters, he left directions for the man
agement of his property, in case of his death there,
in which was supposed to be a will, —and these three
letters were not opened till after his burial here, —
but no will was amongst them, and the directions
applied to a property which is now almost wholly
changed in its form.
“ Indeed his family now have no home, and there
fore, Mrs. Taylor, it is supposed, will not return to
Louisiana. His plantation on the Mississippi has
been sold since he came here to enable him to pur
chase a sugar plantation below, so that that home
is lost. Previously, however, he had purchased
another, midway plantation, but that has turned out
to be a very unprofitable piece of property, making
no crops, in consequence of being flooded repeated
ly. Then the homestead is gone to make one pay
ment on a sugar plantation on which something
like seventy or eighty thousand dollars must now
be due—and the middle plantation is under water.
Probably some of the Presidential salary was relied
upon to meet the further payment on the sugar
plantation, but that salary is gone. You see from
these general facts, that General Taylor died in a
very unfortunate time for the interest of his family.
He had, previously however to Col. Bliss’ marriage
with his daughter, settled upon her a considerable
sum of money.”
Rights of married Women.
We learn from the Pennsylvanian, that in the
Court of Common Pleas for the city and county ot
Philadelphia, on the 13th inst., Judge King render
ed a decision in reference to the rights of husbands
over the property of their wives, under the act of
Assembly of 11th of April, 1850. This is the first
decision under the new law, and it will be seen by
the decision that a wife has not only the absolute
control over her own property while living, but may
dispose of it as she pleases, by will, at her death,
without regard to the husband’s courtesy. -
The case before the Court was that of George
W. Gamble, and the point decided on was, that
since the passage of the act above referred to, the
husband of a wife, the owner of real estate in her
own right, has no interest in such estate—that he
cannot either sell, lease, charge, or encumber, in
any way, without her consent; that the only, inter
est he has in such estate, if it can be called an in
terest, is his expectant right therein for life, in the
event of the wife dying intestate, seized thereof;
that this expectancy depends upon such intestacy,
because she can, by will, dispose of it absolutely,
without regard to the husband.
What a Heathen ! —A down east editor publish
es the following diabolical paragraph:—
“When you are asked to hold the baby, trot it
hard, pinch it, and make faces at it when the mo
ther is not looking. You will soon be relieved of
-the precious charge.”
A man who would write such advice deserves to
be—put to bed without his supper, and serenaded
all night by a score or two of cats!
TroftnoMr«Mt«r,
** The'death warrant of Professor Webster was read
to him in prison, on the 22d instant Hie Boston
papers, say he was perfectly calm, listened atten
tively to the reading of it, and when, it was finished
exclaimed God's will be done, lam reconciled
to my fate.”
His execution will take place on Friday the 30th
of August, between the hours of 8 and 11 o’clock,
A.-M. 1 I
■' The Boston Journal of Saturday week, says:
Dr. Webster first learned the decision of the Ex
ecutive Council, in his caie, by reading the report
in an evening paper. It U stated that he was but
slightly agitated, having, ks we are inlormed, pre
pared himself lor the woi9t. It is further stated
upon authority, that he has expressed ol
late no desire to have his sentence commuted, and
that he appears to have a more realizing sense of
the awful condition in which he is placed, and also,
that hie is evidently preparing himself for the awful
fate which surely awaits him.
Yesterday aftemoou Mrs. Webster and family
visited him in his cell. They had not then learned
the decision of the Governor and Council.
Higjh Sheriff Eveleth visited the prisoner this
morning, and found him quite calm, exhibiting no
observable change in hi 9 general appearance.
H&Exceilency Gov. Briggs has fixed his signa
ture to the “Death Warrant,” which has been duly
transmitted to the High Sheriff.
The family oi the prisoner, for a long time past,
have studiously avoided reading all newspapers
whatever, and hence cannot have been advised from
that source, of the progress of any matter pertain
ing to the painful case, in which they are so imme
diately interested.
The prisoner expressed the hope this morning,
that his family would be kept in ignorance of the
day fixed for his execution.
In connection with this case it may be stated as
a somewhat singular coincidence that John W.
Webster committed the murder on Friday—he was
; arrested on Friday—the verdict of the Coroner's
(secret) Inquest was made public on Friday—one
of the regular days for bis family to visit him at
the jail was on Friday—the final decision of the
Executive was given on Friday, and his execution
is to take place on Friday.
lD“The Com xt is now plainly visible to ths
naked eye, near the bright star Arcturus, in the
constellation Bootes, which is nearly vertical to the
spectator, ami in a W. S. W. part of the heavens*
It is only distinguishable from a common star by
its blurry and hazy appearance. The best time in
the evening to see it is about half past nine. TJhe
Comet is better seen with a small telescope or with
an opera glass. A tail of five degrees long, too
faint to be discerned with the naked eye, is visible
in large,telescopes. Its length is four millions of
miles, and daily increasing. The nucleus of a few
hundred miles in diameter, is very dense, apparently
a solid body.
It passed its Perihelion on the 22d inst., and is
now distant irom the earth about forty millions of
Dreadful Deaths. —At Chatham Four-Comers,
Columbia county, New York, on the evening of the
Bth instant, a can of etherial oil, from which a
lighted lamp was being filled, ignited and bursted.
A half gallon ol fluid was scattered over Mrs.
Holmes and Miss Lucy Lord, and both were envel
oped; in flames. Mr. Holmes, who was returning
home from a visit, came in time to extinguish the
; flames, which were consuming his wife, and to
snatch his child from a burning cradle. The wife
and mother, however, was so badly burned that she
survived only to the next evening. Miss Lord fled
towards Col. Bishop's Hotel, where her mother was
and notwithstanding the efforts of numbers who
were attracted by her terrible screams, the fire was
only subdued when all her clothes were consumed.
She> was carried into her mother’s presence all
charred and roasted, and died at 9 o’clock on Tues
day morning. The . fire in the building was soon
extinguished.
Thrilling Incident. —On Saturday last, a mid
dle aged man living on Navy Island, started in a
small canoe, with his son, a lad of some twelve
years old, for Chippewa. The distance is short—
less than a mile, we should say, and although the
current of the river is quite rapid, the trip is not
attended with any hazard, if the boat is managed
with ordinary skill. But in this case, the man was
very drunk, and embarrassed the boy, so the boat
drifted helow the mouth of the creek before the lad
could approach the shore. Seeing the impossibility
of reaching the Canada shore, the boy turned her
towards the head ol Goat Island, paddling with
surprising strength and dexterity, his father barely
steering, without rendering him any efficient aid.
The boat was swept down with frightful velocity,
but the boy struggled most perseveringly, and when
she was drawn into the rapids, he had propelled
her so far across the Canada channel as to direct
her course the between middle and iuside Sister, the
little islands lying outside of Goat Island, near the
upper end. There is a fall of some fifteen or twenty
feet just above the little islets, extending nearly
across the Canada or main channel of the river.—
Mortal aid could not have availed the poor boy and
his father, if the boat had pitched over this fall.
They must certainly have gone over the great Fall,
which man has never passed ahve. Aware of the
imminent peril, as the boat was on the verge of the
small precipice, the lad sprang into the water,
drawing his father after him, and maintaining an
upright position with great difficulty, upheld his
helpless parent until they were rescued by the peo
ple from the village at the Falls, who had collected
in large numbers on the shore opposite to the point
were the boat was abandoned. The boat was dashed
to pieces in passing down the rapids, and the frag
ments were carried over the Falls before the man
and his son were taken to the land .-‘Buffalo Express.
Terrible Storm in Canada.— The Toronto
Globe says: On Friday afternoon, the 19th inat.,
the townships of Brock, Scott and Reach, were vis
i»ed by the most terrific storm ever remembered,
and not inferior to the hurricanes of the tropica)
climates. For a width of about a mile its course
was marked by the entire overthrow ot the forest
trees—houses and barns were swept away like
children’s card-houses—the growing crops on whole
clearings entirely destroyed—cattle carried off the
ground, whirled in the air, and killed in their des
cent to the earth. Those persons who happened to
be in the line of the storm describe it as the most
awful spectacle they ever witnessed, and from
which there was no security, except in their cellars.
They had barely time to seek refuge under ground,
when the buildings above them were carried away.
The destruction to cattle and growing crops has
been very great, but we have only heard of two
lives being lost, although the injuries by frac
tures and otherwise are innumerable. A farmer
named John Irvine, in Brock, has had the whole of
his buildings, household furniture, and the growing
crops on a large farm destroyed.
Sad Mortality. — Ravage s of Cholera. —The St.
Louis Republican has received a letter dated Lib
erty, June 21. giving the following sad account of
a party of California emigrants:
The writer says that his wagon, to which were
attached his brother and himself from Union coun
ty, 111., H. J. Ostetter, from Chester, 111., and two pf
the Mac Dills, from Union county, 111., left Indepen
dence in a company of twenty-seven persons, on
the 11th June; that when one day out, one of the
company was attacked with the cholera; that on
the third day— having travelled sixty miles—they
were stopped by the cholera and small pox break
ing out amongst them; that they remained en
camped two days, during which they lost ten men.
Next day the men were so alarmed, that they pro
posed to turn back, and the resolution was adopted
almost unanimously. On the return route, there
were seven more deaths before they reached Inde
pendence. where the company separated—only ten
of the twenty-seven surviving. They left every
thing behind them, except their mules. The names
of John and Henry Mac Dill are mentioned among
the deaths, but no others are given. Ostetter and
Hailleman, of Illinois, lost three mules on the jour
ney.
fU* The steamship Crescent City, which arrived
at New York, from Chagres, on the 22d inst., brings
news of another terrible fire, on the 14th of June,
in San Francisco, by which over 300 bousea were
consumed, and three millions of dollars worth of
property destroyed. This is the third great fire in
that unfortunate and apparently doomed City with
in a short period.
The Crescent City brings $lBO,OOO in Gold dust
—and also intelligence that rich Gold Placers have
been discovered in Oregon.
Tfie eoal .
The North Jbnerican of Wednesday last has the
following Dereference to the injury likely to be
sustained by the Coal trade from the late storm,
which we hope may turn out to be incorrect v
We learn from parties competent to judge, aw
who have taken, the trouble to ascertain the facts,-
that the damage done to the Schuylkill Canal, and
the Delaware Diviskmof the Stale Canal, by the
late fteshet, will cause a serious inter
ruption to the'coal business on those works. Our
accounts, also, irom the Laekawana region, are of
the most gloomy character. The old mines of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. are completely
overflowed, and consequently not more than one
half of the usual supply from that region may be
expected. Competent judges, we understand, esti
mate that the injury done these* works is so great,
as to require from four to six weeks to put them
in navigable order. We trust, however, that the
amount of injury is exaggerated; but should it not
prove so, it will seriously diminish the receipts of
coal at the shipping points for the next four or five
weeks, and must also tend to enhance its value, as
at present there is no accumulation of stock in any
quarter. The loss from the-suspension of these
works, will amount weekly to about 70.000 tons,
which, if continued lor four weeks, would give an
aggregate of 280,000 tons, and for five weeks of
300,000 tons.
The American Ambassador at Rome. —A let
ter from Col. Webb, of the New York Courier, da
ted Rome, relates this following circumstance:—
“Major Cass reached here after'the flight of the
Pope and his court. He was, consequently, the
only representative of a foreign government at
Rome, at a period when several of the leaders ol
the Revolution, finding that further resistance to the
French was impracticable, resolved to destroy the
monuments of Rome, and leave for their conquerors
but a barren victory. Major Cass was aroused
from his bed at two o’clock one night, and inform
ed that several of the leaders, then in conclave, had
just given orders to undermine and blow up St.
Peters, the proudest monument of,human skill the
world has ever seen. Without loss of time, he pre
sented himself before the assembled vandals, and
by appeals, remonstrances and threats, in the name
of his country, and in behalf of the civilized world,
he compelled them to abandon their purpose.”
The Galphins. —The Boston Post makes the
following truthful remarks: The patriotism of the
Galphin cabinet is exhibited in their refusal to re*
tain office for a few days to enable the President
sufficient time to select his advisers. No—they
cared nothing about the exigency—the interests of
the country which required consultation and delib
eration in filling the departments—they had got all
they could expect, and, influenced by the same sel.
fishness which has marked their whole career, would
not even unlock a travelling trunk to oblige the
president or to render a service to the nation! We
repeat what we have said, viz: that never did a
cabinet leave office so universally reprobated as will the
gentlemen who surrounded the late President.

Inhuman Outrage. —ln Culpepper county, Va.>
on Wednesday week, a negro man who had been
twice tried and convicted of murder, and to whom
a new trial had been granted in each case by the
General Court, on account of the illegality of the
proceedings in the inferior Court, was forcibly ta
ken from the Jail by a mob and hung upon a
neighboring tree. The poor fellow protested to the
last moment that he was innocent of the crime al
leged against him.
fUT* The St. Louis Republican notices the estab
lishment of a new manufacture in that State, viz,
pottery. The material of which the ware is com
posed is said to be found in quantities sufficient to
supply the whole United Spates. It is called kaolin
clay, or decomposed granite, and is found about 5
miles from Caledonia. The supply is inexhaustible.
It requires very little labor to get at it, being visi
ble in the ravines near the top of the ground, and
the Ozark mountains aie formed of it. Fuel is
abundant, the mountain being covered with pine
and qak trees, .and water is also, plenty.
A Bereaved Man. —On board the Griffith, on
Lake Erie, near Cleveland, during the recent burn
ing of the steamer, there was a party of thirty-one
Englishmen, principally from Cambridgeshire.—-
Most of them were intending to settle in Medina
county, 0., where they had relatives. Only three
of the party survive. One of them, Robert Hall,
who was himself saved, lost his mother, his wife>
two sons, two daughters, two brothers and two
sisters—ten in all.
