A Hard Hit.
The National Intelligenoer 7 in .passing a eulogy
Upon the manner in which Mr. FitixoßE Bail been
administering the affairs ofthe nation, indulged in
the following remarkable aUnsion: -
« His able and patriotic 'management of public
affairs will constitute one of the brightest leave's in
the administrative history of the nation. The ship
of State was nearing, if she was not already among,
the breakers ; the storm-cloud, collected by the fell
spirit of fanaticism and sectionalism, hung darkly
and portentously over the destinies of the country,
when, by ah extraordinary visitation of Providence ,
he was called to pilot her.”
This is remarkable! It is a truthful acknowl
edgement which few whig journals have had the
courage to make, and which no democratic journal
could make without calling down the censure ol
the opponent party. Gen. Tatlob, it as much as
says, had charge of the ship of State, and had.run
her among “the bbeakebs.” “By an extraordi.
nary visitation of Providence” Gen. Tatlor was
relieved of the helm, and Mr. Fillmore “was called
to pitot her,” and just i«i time to save her from be
ing wrecked! ; This is a literal rendering of the
sentence, and undoubtedly the genuine meaning of it.
It is true, too f* The administration of Gen. Tai
lor was not onlya failure, but it was the most
mischievous and weak one since the organization
of the Government. What it would have become*
had Providence not come to the relief of the nation,
to save it from the mischiefs into which the whig
party had involved it, we can only conjecture but
that this “extraordinary visitation of Providence,”
overruling the counsels of the whigs, resulted in
saving the nation from grave dangers, and, probably
anarchy, we are not permitted to doubt.
Twice have these “extraordinary visitations of
Providence” been exercised to save the country
from the evils projected by whig triumphs; yet the
party, thus severely rebuked, stiff-necked, self willed,
and short-sighted, are again intent upon the
course which has so signally been met by the dis
pleasure of Omnipotence, It seems to be one ol
the provisions of Providence that they shall not
learn wisdom from experience.—lnquirer.
CROPS.—The Memphis (Tenn.) Enquirer, of
the 19th ult., says:
“The reports as to the Cotton crop continue to
be morp and more distressing. We saw a gentle
man yesterday from-De Soto county, Mississippi,
who had 229 acres of Cotton, from which he does
not anticipate realizing thirty bales. The Corn
crop is for the most part hopelessly ruined.”
The Louisville Courier, ot the 16th ult., says
‘•Our telegraphic dispatches from Clarksville and
Nashville speak of the great drought prevailing
near those places, and which threatens great de
struction to the Corn, Tobacco and other crops
•We hear complaints of the drought from nearly
every portion. : of Kentucky.” 1
The Nashville Banner, of the 14th ult., says
*e
“The long season of dry weather has been very
injurious to the Corn crop in this county, which
will be unusually short. The Cotton crop is in a
good condition and promises an abundant'yield.—
We learn that in Cannon, and portions of Wilson
and Rutherford, there have been tine rains recently
and that the Corn crop will -be heavy. In Giles
both the Corn and Cotton crops are represented as
being promising."
The Crops in West Jersey.—The Woodbury Con
stitution says that in Atlantic and Cape May coun
ties the people are everywhere complaining of a
very severe drought. Up a little distance From the
shore the corn and potatoes were suffering {or want
of rain, none having fallen, except a light sprinkle,
since the first woek in June. The roads are . un
usually heavy, hot and dusty. Immediately on the
shore the moist salt air has preserved the crpps, and
the corn and potatoes generally look well. A suc
cession of showers lell during Saturday night, which
probably reached all the parched region, and re
stored life life to suffering.vegetation.
Muiidkr in Michigan. —The Detroit Tribune
>
of July 25th, contains the following:
A diabolical, murder was commitied in Muske
gon, some three months since, but not discovered
until last month. The discovery was made by a
man out hunting, who came across a spot of ground
in the woods, which had recently been dug and
supposing something of value migh be buried there,
came home and took another person with him, and
dug down three feet when they came to the corpse
•of a man. He was taken up and carried to Musk
egon, where an inquest was held on the remains,
whiclfdeveloped the fact who he was, and threw
suspicion on his brother-in-law of being the mur
derer. The.name of the murdered man is J. Burke.
The suspected murdered is John Cary. Both are
Irishmen. Mr. Burke was but recently from the
old country, and was in the possession of some
§5OO or §6OO, which his brother-in-law coveted.—
Circumstances were developed in the examinations
which left no doubt but that Cary was the m'urg
derer.
Some three or four weeks after the man was ;
killed, Cary wrote home t 6 the father of Burke,
counterfeiting Burke's hand writing, and soliciting
some forty pounds in money, to assist him in ma
king a purchase of some land in the northern part
of this State. To which a reply was received from
the father of Burke (and his wife of course) who
appears to be pretty well offi that he had ordered
thh transmission of a check for 100 pounds, as he
would need the money for making improvements
on his new farm. This letter was intercepted; and
the fact of other deception and lies on the part of
Cary, go a great ways in fixing his guilt. He is
now confined at the Jail in Grand Haven, Michigan,
and will be tried uext month; for the crime of mur
der. His wife, it appears, has left there. Every
body seems to think that she must have been ac
cessary—before or after the fact. The old man in
.Ireland has been written to, and will probably be
present in person or by agent.

JO* The Democratic Convention of Dauphin
County, nominated the three Whig Judges of that
county for election. This is singular, very. Will
the organ 'of Gen. Cameron, in this county, who
•eems to have such an exalted opinion of the Dau*

strange movement? We apprehend there is more
under this thing than meets the eye. The rest of the
ticket is composed of “ good men and true, 5 ' and it
is a subject of wonder that three-more good Dem

Important to Farmers & Thresh
ing Machine Makers.
THE subscriber respectfully informs the public
that he has lately completed a TRIPLE POW
ER INTERNAL GEARED HORSE POWER,
which outrivals any other in use. It is made §n
tirely of Iron, both Frame and Gearing. The Jour
nals are CasuSteel —its weight is 600 lbs. On trial
it has proved itself capable of performing from 50
to 100 per cent, more work than other Powers with
the same labor of the team. It is warranted to
hold 8 horses. „_ _c ui?n
* I have also completed a combined THRESHER
AND CLEANER, which is capable of Threshing
and Cleaning from 300 to 500 bushels of .wheat per
day, with from 6 to 8 Horses, and an equal number
of hands. 4'horses can thresh with it from 100 to
200 bushels per day of wheat, and 400. to 600 of
oats. It is very convenient for those who follow
Threshing, and for two or more farmers to own -in
company ; it'is more convenient to move than any
machine in use. The Machine stands on the wag
on while threshing—the Power is loaded on the
same wagon in moving—two horses are sufficient
to move it; it will save enough labor in threshing
2000 bushels to pay its extra cost. It will thresh
in the field or by a stack as conveniently as in a barn.
The cylinder'and concave can readily be adjusted
so aB to thresh with equal facility both tough and dry
grain. It is free from the complication and liability
to get out of order of other machines of 1 the kind,
and of less cost—price $lOO,OO. -

S acred Scenes and Characters. —By the Kev. J. T. •
Headley. This work may very properly be consid- !
ered a companion to the “ Sacred Mountains,” by
the same author. It is to illustrate and “ render
more life-like” the sacred writings. It is not the
author’s design to supersede the Bible. But his
wish is to excite solicitude to obtain, and to be
come intimately acquainted and perfectly familiar
with its history dotrines and laws; to know its truth,
to imbibe its spirit, feel its power, and partake of its
salvation; in a word, to prize in some measure as
it deserves, this treasure which is indeed beyond
price. We predict for it a circulation far beyond any
of the author’s former works. — The News, Jan. Ith ,
Sacred Scenes and Characters. —By the Rev. J. T.
Headley, author of the “ Sacred Mountains,” &c.
This work will add greatly to the reputation of the
author. In literary merit it more than equals his
“ Sacred Mountains.” Mr. Headleyexcele in his
glowing style and vivid descriptions. His works
are a rich treasury of all the sublimity of thought,
moving tenderness of passion, and vigorous strength
ot expression, which are to be found in all the lan
guages by which mortals declare their minds.—See
Daily Globe, Jan. sth.
Rambles and Sketches.— By Rev. J. T. Headley.
We have not for a long time sat down to a book
with more pleasing anticipations, or found those
anticipations more fully'realized, than in the pefu
sal of the work before us, and we know it will be
hailed with graiification- by the many admirers of
• the talented author. Hi’s “Napoleon and his Mar
shals ” was, perhaps, as popular, and found at least
as many enthusiastic readers as any book that can
be mentioned. We think the Rambles aad Sketches
are destined to be as popular at least as any of his
previously published works. There is not a dull
chapter in the work, filled as it is with “ an infinite
variety.” The author has ample room and verge
enough for the employment of his fine talents to
great advantage and most sucsesfully has he re
complished the task. The biographical sketch of
the author is interesting and “well considered,”
and adds much to the value of the book, which is
got up in a very neat and attractive style by the
publisher.—See Portland Transcript;Dec. \sth."
Mr. Headley is one of the most promising wri
ters of this country, and we have here on of his
best books—one on which he can safely rest his
fame. It possesses the fatiguing charms*of perfect
simplicity and truth. There is a graceful frankness
pervading the composition, which engages the in
terest of the reader in the author.as well as in the
subject. His rambles about P.ome, Paris, and
London exhibit a thousand lively traits of an inge
nuous nature, upon which.a man of taste will dc*
light to linger. We predict for this a sale equal to
that of any of the author’s works. — See New York
News.
The collection is one of which, no author need
be ashamed. It consists, indeed, of some of Mr.
Headley’s most brilliant and highly flashed compo
sitions, of those specimens of his abilities by which
he may be judged with the safety to his
fame as a word painter and tHtnker.— See New York
Tribune. Dec. 17, 1849.

THIS company having been doing business for
nearly one year and a half, have the satisfac
tion to state, that they have accumulated an earned
capital of over $ 125,000 above all losses and ex
penses, besides a large surplus to be disposed of
in the shape of a dividend. The Directors coniine
themselves to the safest kind of property, dividing
their risks into two separate classes, there being
no connection of thfc one class with that of the
other/except that the business of each is under
the supervision of one Board of Directors, thus
giving the public the advantage of two
with the expense of one office. The success ot
this Institution has far surpassed the ino6t sanguine
expectations of its friends.
The rates of premium are established with a
view to avoid the odious and expensive mode of
assessing, thereby enabling the Directors, by keep
ing a close watch of expenses, to make large div
idends to each insured.

ern improvements, and are No. I in every sense of
the word. This Line leaves • “ ‘ ™
NO. 272, MARKET .ST., PHILADELPHIA,
every day at llj o’clock, A. M. (except the Sab
bath) for Lancaster, Columbia, York and Harrisburg,
and on its return leaves H err’s hotel, Columbia,' at
12; Lancaster at 12t, and Downingtown at 2 o’clock,
P. M., and arrives at Philadelphia at. 4 o’clock, in
-'time to take the eastern line at 5 o’clock for New
York.
The cars are attached to the Way Train, and
run in the rear, which gives them a decided pre
ference over any other cars in case of a collision
or a run off, which under the best of management
will sometimes occur. Our passengers and cars
must, from their.position in the train, be compara
tively free from danger.
The subscribers are aware of *the monstrous
monopoly against which they have to contend, but
they are determined to encounter it, and relying
upon the encouragement ot all who are opposed to
monopolies and.in favor of low rates of.rare, they
will run this line at the following rates, viz:
THREE CENTS PER MILE,
no more nor no less, under any circumstances.
These are the lowest rates at which passengers can
be carried over the road under the present rates of
toll charged by the State, which are two cents per
mile on each passenger, and $4,92 on each car.
In order that our friends may not mistake “OUR
LINE,” we give the color of the cars, which is
tbueblue, and ask the patronage of a generous
nublic to sustain us in our undertaking. *
