We have not learned UT" A small log housi Ford’s Furnace, in the ji the City, occupied by col by fire on Saturday night how the fire originated, j Judge Lewis and his Traducers. Some of the more reckless and "unscrupulous of .the Whig papers are re-publishing an adyertise ment that appeared iff the Lancaster Journal, tAirfy fiog yean ago, offerings reward for the apprehension Oj the present Judge Lewis, who was then an ap prentice to John Wyeth, Printer in Harrisburg, but who had left his master, at theadviceof his friends and relatives, in consequence. of bad treatment— This, to say the feast of it, is a far-fetched and. most contemptible objection to urge against the Judge, and shows to what a miserable shift the Whig press is put to find something upon which they can found an objection to his election. The indiscretions ;of his boyhood, even if they can be called such, are to be raked upfrom the oblivion of the past—the musty records of the last generation are to be ransacked, and nothing that he has ever done, even in his juvenile days, is to be kept con cealed from the light of day! Well, be it so.— Judge Lewis seeks no concealments of his past life. He is perfectljr willing that these political scavengers shall scrape up every thing they can find, and publish it broadcast among the people. They may go back, it their morbid appetite for scandal invites them on, even beyond the period of his apprenticeship to the time when, a little boy, with satchel in hand, he attended the village school in his native county of York—and they may then frace his history, through all the mutations of for. tune that have attended him, to bis present exalted position as a candidate for the Supreme Bench, and whatever of. wrong they can find during that time they are at perfect liberty to publish to the gaze of the world. As it regards the charge above alluded to, all we have to say is, that a certain Benjamin Frahkiis was also a runaway apprentice from the printing business, on account of bad treatment—and, if his tory tells the truth, he afterwards rose to such em inence in the world that he was pronounced one of the greatest philosophers oi his age. So also, we predict, will it be with the runaway apprentice that is now so obnoxious to,the Whig press. He already stands at the head of his profession as a Jurist, and the people of Pennsylvania intend to confer upon him the highest judicial distinction in the Commonwealth—the sneers and the calumnies of the Whig newspapers to the contrary, notwith standing. 1 • Whig Consistency! It has been truly remarked by a contemporary that the Whig party is consistent in nothing save its inconsistency. This is somewhat paradoxical, but it is nevertheless true. Fearful of the effect that the “aid and comfort” furnished the Mexicans by their candidate for Canal Commissioner, when a member of Congress, might have.upon the pa triotic citizens of Pennsylvania, they roundly assert that the present “is not a contest between John Strohm and Seth Clover!” Well, this to a very great extent is true; but mark the consistency oi the fellows. In the next breath, they-lug the name of General Scott'into the canvass—point to the laurels he gained in this same Mexican war and tell their party friends that if they vote against Strohm they virtually vote against Scott! Nov?, if this be “a contest between John Strohm and Seth Clover," as the Whig papers assert, we should like to know what Gen. Scott and the laurels he gained in a war which John Strohm and the Whigs generally denounced as “unconstitutional and un just,” have to do with it. We believe the Presiden tial election does not take place until 1852, and it is not yet certain that Gen. Scott will be the Whig candidate. Verily, the Whig party is a consistently inconsistent party, and nothing else! Galpbinism Admitted! As the Mexican War was conceived in fraud, nothing but fraud can be expected to grow out of li. The millions which it is known to have cost will be found to be the initiative of a series of claims, real and trumped up, which will be pressed upon the government for the next twenty years Examiner .[■ Herald There could not be a doubt of the truth of the above prediction, that the millions which the Gal phinshave already drawn from the public treasury, “will be found to be but the initiative of a series of claims, real and trumped up, which will be pressed upon the government for the next twenty years,"— that is, provided the Whigs so long have control of the administi&tion. But as that is entirely out of the question, it is fair to presume that-the next. Democratic administration, which will come into power on the 4th of March, 1853, will bring back the government to its original purity, and throw a shield around the public treasury from the further peculations ot the Galphins. But what will the patriotic of all parties say to the charge so deliberately made by the Exami ner, that “ the Mexican War was conceived in fraud ?" What will the brave Volunteers of Penn sylvania, who., so enthusiastically rallied to the standard of their country," say to this infamous li bel upon their government? Will they respond to it, by giving their suffrages to. the favorite candi date of the Whigs in this county, Johs Strohm, who refused, when in Congress, to vote supplies to our suffering soldiery then gallantly fighting their country’s battles in Mexico? We think not—on the contrary, we believe, that there are hundreds of patriotic Whigs, even in Lancaster county, who will affix their seal of dfsapprobation to such base and treacherous conduct by voting for his Demo cratic competitor, Gen. Seth Ceover, of Clarion county. JD" A communication in the last Union & Tri biine strongly recommends our portly friend,.Alex ander Hamilton Hood, Esq., as a candidate for President Judge of this district, in place of Judge Lewis whom the Democrats intend to elevate to a seat on the Supreme Bench. Mr. H. is undoubtedly one of the great men of the age, and it must be a source of lively gratification to his ‘numerous friends’ in Strasburg to find that the brilliant effulgence that emanates from this “living magazine of history,” is no longer to be hid under a bushel, and a knowl edge of which confined to that particular locality. The corruscations of his genius are to shoot forth in every direction, and will shed new light upon the dark and perplexing intricacies of the iaw.— Hot.content with taking that old dolt, Blackstone for his guide, the writer assures tne public that he will pry into the fundamentals of the law and “ex plore the sources from whence it originated.”— Shades of Mansfield, andTlale, and Marshall, and Story, and Tilghman, preserve us! Hide your di minished heads, ye Taneys and Gibsons and Coul ters and Bells! Here is an intellectual and legal giant—a “ profound thinker,” a “good logician,” a “skilfuldebater,” a “clear and forcible writer,” a “ living magazine of history”—in short a perfect prodigy of learning, a rara avis , containing in his own capacious cranium all the learning and knowl edge of all the lawyers, doctors, preachers, histori ans, and literati of ancient and modern times! We are proud of the fact that such a towering genius exists imour midst, and are sincerely glad that the seat at present occupied by such a pigmy in the law as his honor, Judge Lewis, is to be so admira bly filled with asuperabundance of weight, such as has rarely, if ever, been seen upon the Bench! What a pity that so much legal acumen and pro found erudition should have so long been permitted to remain in obscurity, and “waste its sweetness on the desert air.” But such, alas! is too often the fate of true genius—and the good citfzens of Lan caster county are placed under lasting obligations to the correspondent of the Union <5- Tribune for thewonderful discovery he has made. What a pity hbhad not made this thing known before the meeting of the Whig State Convention—as we then should have had the counterpart of Blackstone, to be a Candidate for a seat on the Supreme Bench, in stead of such a buehwkacker as Meredith or Coulterl Verily, Shakspeare, was more than half right when he said, “ some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrus* upon them.” 1 Infiunonfi,Slanders! - . - A foul, malignant and infamous article appeared in the Miltonian a .week or two-ago, charging all manner of crime against Judge Lewis. This base tissue of abominable slanders has since been copied jinto. the Harrisburg Telegraph, and also into the National Whig, a scurrilous Whig'"’prgan ; of this: City, and will no doubt be,greedily seized upoh by the baser sort of Whig papers all over the State, In the vain hope of defeating his election. The, character of Judge Lewis. is proof against such villainous assaults. - Here,- in 1 Lancaster county** where he has resided for a number of years, no' man occupies a more exalted position,’ whether as a Jurist or an honest, upright citizen—and to show the high estimation in which he is held in the very section of country where these outrageous false hoods had their origin, and where he long resided, prior to'his coming io Lancaster, we copy the fol lowing articles from two of the leading Democratic papers in, that region—the first one'from the very ,town where the Judge resided, the editor ot which |paper has been intimately acquainted with him for .more than twenty, years. : j Judbe Lewis. —A scurrilous article appeared in the inafMuncy Luminary, the production of some janpnymous scribbler, charging Judge Lewis, one of jhe Democratic candidates-for the Supreme Bench, fvith all manner of offences. The author, who! ever he may be, will effect nothing - by his vile at-* tack, as the most stupid reader will see at a glance that the whole thing is a mere .Peg Beatty Slander, originating in malevolence, and personal spleen.— |Any'man’s character may bb assayed by h cow ardly guerrilla from a chapparel ambush, and if the public will give heed to such attacks, every vile assassin may sheath his dagger in the breast of virtue, without detection or punishment. Judg'd Lewis is too well known both as a citizen and a jurist to be injured in this way, and ,we confidently predict that if the author of the base article above alluded to, will only unmask himself, the public will behold either some Sunday saint and every day sinner—some immmoral God-defying rascal, or one whom the J udge in his official capacity has beeh inquired to sentence for stealing sheep.— Lycoming Gazette. Judbe Lewis. —Somebody has written a very abusive article against Judge Lewis for the Banbu ry American, which has appeared in the Miitonian. We shall make no reply to it, for, to insinuate that Judge Lewis was connected with counterfeiters, and is unqualified by nature and education for the Su preme bench, requires no relutationi The writer says, the Judges should be beyond cavil. or doubt honest and capable. It is to create a doubt that this outrageous article of the Miltonian was writ ten. But the writer has defeated .his purpose by the grossness of his charges and insinuations. The communication removes every doubt that the op position are willing to resorf to any means, how ever despicable, to defeat the democratic candidates for the Supreme Bench.— Sunbury Gazette. . Democratic National Convention. i A late letter from Tfew York to the Cleveland Plaindealer, contains some information in reference to the next Democratic National Convention, which will be found interesting. The writer says: j A committee of Democrats have been in this city, for some weeks, making-arrangements for is suing the call of the Democratic National Conven tion. Baltimore has been fixed upon for the great National Gathering; although the members of the committee ; from ; the North-west wished a more central point—Louisville or Cincinnati. [Nathaniel H. Greer, of lowa, appointed by' the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, (B. F. Hallett, of Boston,) to fill the vacancy on' the Committee from lowa, occasioned bythe death of[Ex-Governor Clark, has now heard from nearly every member of the National Committee, chosen by the delegation of the several States, in the last Baltimore Convention; and it can be certainly re lied upon that the Convention is to be held at Bal timore. [The time has not been fixed on by the Commit tee as yet; some are for an early day in May, some for June, and some for a later-period. A Modern Solomon for Judge. It will be remembered, says the Columbia Star of the North , that as one of the Commissioners to sell the stock oi the rotten Susquehanna county Bank, Judge Jessup offered a'resolution to allow stopk subscriptions to be paid in “ current bank notes,” while the act of incorporation required that thestock should be paid for in specie. Dayton, the Nejv Jersey financier, was convicted of peijury for swearing that the Morris county Bank had a cer tain amount of specie funds when it actually 1 had onty that sum in bank notes. But Judge Jessup wopld have been able to secure an acquittal for Dayton by showing that notes are specie, for he even ventures to prove that potatoes may be specie, as appears by the following extract from the Montrose Leijiocrat: : , “[We recollect talking some two months since, with one of the Commissioners'to sell the stock of thejßank, in reference to this same Resolution, of fered by Judge Jessup. He informed us that when thelJudge introduced, the Resolution, it was objected to by some, because it conflicted with the law of incorporation. The J udge supported it in a speech, illustrating it in this wise. - If a man owed him specie, and he was in want of potatoes for which he must pay specie, if he took the potatoes of his debtor, it was all the same and he could say with truth that the debt was cancelled. A species of legal reasoning we presume never heard of in our. Supreme Court to this day, and the gentleman added, “according to that, I could-not see why it woiild not do just as well to fill the vaults of the Banjt with potatoes, and issue bills on them, and so I vqted against the resolution!” Wouldn t a man like that be an ornament to the Supreme Bench. What a pity it is that the legal juggler could not have Signor Blitz for a colleague on the ticket, for then we should be at least amused if not instructed by the legerdemain which should say “there, now you see specie is potatoes—there you see potatoes are specie.”— Pennsylvanian. Tbe Golden Banner. Ir the event of Pennsylvania winning the Flag prof osed to be given by California, in case Col. Will iara Bigler has a larger majority, in proportion to the number of votes cast, than Col. John,-the. Democratic State Central Committee propose pre senting the same to the county which shall give the largest vote for our Gubernatorial candidate, in Proportion to the whole number of votes polled. If we might be permitted to guess gs to which will win the prize, we should take little'Monroe county' in preference to any other. \ SiHeuian Przko.mxsojt. —A short time since, Mr. Samuel Evans, of Atlantic county, New Jersey, with] a team of mules, was in the woods, and while hauling out a log preparatory, to loading, from un der a large tree, he was struck down with his four mules by an electric shock. He did not lose his conciousness, but he was wholly unable to move handlor foot, and his mules were in the same help less condition- After remainining in this state for about fifteen minutes, vitality returned, first in the fore finger and thumb on one hand, enabling him to rub them together. Fearing the mules might re cover before he could get from-among them, he worked fingers, and by slow degrees regained the use of his hand, then-his arm, &c., wheji, by great;exertion, he dragged himself out of theireach of the .mules’ heels. The mules gradually recov ered also, and he got them upon their feet. A bright red line marked his arms and down his chest and legs. He felt sore for some days after the oc currence. There was a cloudless sky at the time, and no indication of lightning or rain. The tree was completely shivered to splinters. U-JT The slanderers of Judge Lewis must forget that he was "nominated to the Lancaster District, and his appointment almost unanimously confirmed by the Senate, {there being but three votes against him in'that body, not one of which was from the northern section of the State,) long after the time when it is alleged he committed the offences charged agauwt him. This of itself,.if?there was nothing else, is sufficient to nail the base falsehoods to the er, and stamp with infamy the vile slanderers bus seek to injure the fair fame and character estimable citizen and upright Judge, j [The Court of Quarter Sessions, for this r, is being held this week—Judge Lewis pre- ■ - ■ J\ Wife.

Governor Johnston forgets .his connection with the celebrated » Tape Worm,’’ called the Gettysburg Railroad, which, as some one about that time remarked, “ commenced in the woods and ended nowhere.” If so, it may be in teresting to him to be advised of the facts that he sustained this utterly project, in every stage of its progress through the Legislature; that seven hundred thousand dollars have been expended upon it by the State; that it has been universally' pronounced so totally useless as to lead to its entire abandonment; and that, consequently, every dollar of this has been lost to the Treasury; for which Wm. F. Johhstox is as justly liable as any other individual. He may forget, too, a certain other scheme of plunder, (and of which, by the way, he was the father,) which, had it been continued, would' have led to another loss of about seven hundred thousand dollars'. This was the Kittaning Feeder, that was commenced at the town where the gentleman re sides; and on -Which forty thouynd dollars were ex pended that have-been sunk to the State. What an insulting degree of arrogance and impudence do we therefore find exhibited in the speeches of this especial pattern of the Whig party; and how easy is.it to show that he has aidedj as far as was in his power, as much as any man in Pennsylvania, to entail debt and consequent embarassment upon the State. In these two plunder schemes alone he has lost to the State more than seven hundred thousand dollars, and this is pretty strong evidence of a will to act upon a larger scale. As it respects the Sinking Fund we are not dis. posed to deny to him the merit of having sustained the project; but we utterly deny that he was the originator of it. He well kuows who is the author or projector of that wise measure, and if he shall continue to characterize it as "my measure,”—which we are told, he almost universally does, —he may have his memory refreshed on that point before he leaves the western part of the State. It is said that, income of his speeches, the Gov ernor has stated, unqualifiedly, that 11 there teas no public debt created during the administration of Gw Ritnerf If he has made such a remark at any other place, we think he will scarcely have enough assurance to make the declaration in Pittsburgh. He is, however, to be here at the assembling of the great Convention of his friends on the 20th of Au gust, when we shall give him our especial attention* —Pittsburg Post. The Choleha at the Caharies.— We sometime since mentioned the ravages of the cholera, in the Canary Islands. The British Consul gives a most distressing account of the ravages there. The pop ulation was about 10,000, but seized with panic on the Bth of May, when the disease first broke oub flight soon reduced that to 4,000. “ Fathers left their children, and children their parents; all ties of relationship were forgotten and nought but the safety of the moment was thought of. Many were the victims of such conduct. The roads were soon covered with dead bodies, and the disease seized its prey in many of the adjacent small towns and vib lages. Every calamity now rapidly approached. On the 10th, 11th and 12th, the deaths were up wards of one hundred daily. The hospital was overwhelmed with the dying andthe dead. Assis tance was nowhere to be found. No pen can give an idea qf the suffering—the living could not bury their dead before corruption commenced, and the only remedy left was the soldiers to seize on any one theyi could find,—some to dig trenches, and oth ers to hunt in the narrow defiles and filthy huts for the bodies that had been abandoned by all connected with them. This state of things continued with unabated, rigor till the 16th; the echoing noise in the void :and empty streets, of the sledges and carts conveying the naked bodies, covered by a few mats, made but comparatively little impression, as the only anxjety was that they should be hurried away.” Dreabful Murder.— A correspondent of the Utica Observer gives the following particulars of a murder perpetrated at Waterville, Oneida county, N. Y., on the sth inst., of which the telegraph'had previiously apprised us:—Tvvo men, (laborers,) one named John Perkins, the other a negro, both in the employ of the Loomis family, had been mowing together since morning. . Toward 5 o’clock in the afternoon they halted for a moment, when the ne gro was heard suddenly to exclaim, “He has cut me, and lam killed.” He immediately staggered from the spot some ten feet in the unmown grass and fell to the ground. A surgeon was sent for, but it was nearly an hour and a half before he ar rived ; the negro was then taken up and carried into the house. On taking off his clothing a wound of the most fearful description was presented—a frightful gash, reaching nearly around his body; the lower bowels protruded from the wound, and the spinal column was 'nearly severed. The scythe which Perkins had used during the day was found pear the place where the negro fell, and it was cov ered with blood.. The unfortunate young man lived nearly .ten hours after the wound was inflicted, and retained possession of his senses. On being told by Dr. Preston that he had but a short time to live, and that if he'had anything to say relative to the affair he had no. time to lose, he stated that he re ceived his injuries from Perkins, who inflicted them intentionally. Coroner Harris held an inquest this forenoon, which resulted in-a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Perkins made no attempt , t 0 escape, and is now in custody. He will have an examination to-morrow before Justice Church. [Perkins has been examined and committed for trial.] Distressing Accident.— At Chainville, Mont gomery county, on Saturday evening week, Thos. Clark was killed from the effects of carbonic acid gas in a well. Subsequent to the unfortunate man being overcome by the foul air, efforts were made to hoist the body by grappling irons, says the'Nor ristown Herald, and several times they succeeded so far-as to get it within ten or twelve feet of the surface, but tbe clothes giving way it would fall downward, thumping and striking, and chilling the blood in the veins of the hundreds who had assem bled at the scene of disaster. Experiments were then resorted to to to .drive the foul air lrom the well, and shavings and straw were burned in a large bucket, which was lowered into it A large cedar bush,was then procured, which was worked up and down in it by means of a rope, and by this means the foul air was so far expelled that a lighted can die would hum at the bottom of the weld A man then descended, and haying fastened a rope around the feet of Thomas, he: was hoisted to the surface. His clothes were found to be entirely stripped from his body] his neck broken, his head very badly fractured; and his body lacerated. i Lawrence County. The Democratic Convention of this county, met at New Castle on the sth inst, and,. after forming a ticket, unanimously adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That we have übdimimshed confidence in the integrity and democracy of the Hon. Jxhes Buchanan, and hail with unbounded satisfaction bis increasing prospects for the nomination as the next Democratic candidate for the Presidency. EJ* tie Presbyterian Church of Donegal, in this county, have given a unanimous call to Rev. James Rogers, (late'of the Princeton Theological Semi nary,) to! becoma thair Paitor. Trutliwell Spoken. The following communication is from the pen of one o/"the inosi prominent and influential Dem ocrats in soath-western Pennsylvania. It embodies the true sentiments of the Democratic party, and should be read and pondered upon by every well wisher of the Republican cause, who is sincerely desirous for its success in ensuing Presidential election: ' Mr. Editor: Sir—The Democrats in the west ern part of the State are at a loss to comprehend the.course the editor of the Harrisburg Keystone is Gen. Cass should be his favorite candidate for the Presidency, is not surprising, as Te . r y emm ent statesman, annevery Democrat SUs °° f cont °« has an undoubt ed right to express h,s preference for the man of ?E°i 0, t ce w,t , h «d energy as he mav choose to employ; but that he shonld place himself tnsneh an atmnde of hostility to Mr. Bnchanan, and by his severe denunciation of that distinguished and prominent candidate, assume a position which will utterly preclude him, as an honorable man from supporting him in the event of bi ß nomination’ is, to our plain mode of judging, very extraordinary! ir the denunciation of Mr. Buchanan, by the leading organ of the Cass.party in this State, is to be understood as giving the friends of Gen. Cass such a position in advance, as to preclude them from a hearty and honorable support of Mr. Buch anan, should he prove to be the choice ,of the Bal timore Convention, and thus to operate as a threat, I can assure the Editor that the standard of Gen. Cass in this part of the State will have but lew followers, and such doctrine but few admirers. Any thing in the slightest degree tending to an alienation of the party, or that may prevent a cor dial, hearty and united support of the man who may be chosen as our standard bearer by the Conven tion, will meet no favor in this quarter. If the friends of Gen. Cass imagine that his in terests are sustained,'or his prospects for a nomi nation advanced by heaping abuse upon an honor able and prominent competitor, they greatly mistake the intelligent attachment of the party to their principles. The Democratic party, in great ques tions like the present, are not governed by feeling —not influenced by sentiments of personal esteem or of ill will toward particular individuals. Their aim rises infinitely above this, laying hold of the great political principles involved in the contro versy, to the preservation and success of which, they should be willing to yield all personal par tialities or dislikes. In the west we will advance the interests of our respective favonties with as much energy and hearty zeal as does the editor of the Keystone; but E E Ca -, e DOt t 0 place ogives in such an attitude of hostility towards a competitor as would, in the event of his nomination, prevent our sup porting him, or to render that support, if riven ridiculous and absurd. b * A WESTERN DEMOCRAT. Tli© Judicial Ticket. It is tbe absolute and imperative duty of every man who professes to be a Democrat, to vote the whole of the Democratic judicial ticket. There is no apology, for backsliding or scratching a single r.ame on it. According to the usages of the party, the ticket has been formed. There is no charge of fraud connected with its formation, and the party creed demands a hearty and unflinching response from every republican. The Whig appeal, that the North has been abandoned, is insincere-—it is heartless at bottom. There is no sympathy on their part towards Democrats which has a particle of of reality in fact. Democrats, don’t listen to this; it is from your old enemy, and beware. 'There is an attempt being made to injure the election of Judge Campbell. This is all wrong. As we have said before, we repeat now—that if there is any reason in the world, why one man on the ticket should have a warmer support than another, it is in favor of Judge Campbell, on the score of relig ious intolerance; because with the qualifications and correct political principles of the judge, no man can cavil or complain—no Democrat* \oe mean. We hope to see the whole of the Democratic ju dicial ticket elected by such a majority as will settle Whig claims and pretensions in all time to come. Of Bigler and Clover, it will require all the cyphering and mathematical propensities of Sam Slick to cypher up their majorities. —Luzerne Democrat. How tbe Tariff Works I American manufactories that are not overworked seem to be doing good business. The Newark'Ad vertiser says the Bay State Mills have recently sold 100 cases, numbering nearly or quite 5000 shawls, for the Canada market , to a regular dealer there, who can afford to pay a duty of 12 per cent, and sell his goods alongside of British productions at a profit The production of shawls from some of principal mills the current year will be as follows: James Roy & Co., nearly all long shawls of beau tiful designs, 30,000'; Bay State Mills, the great pioneer in this work, 385,000; Waterloo Co., 22,- 000 , Empire State Mills, 30,000; Peacedale Mill, Duncan & Cunningham, and one or two smaller makers, say 25,000 ; making a total of 492,000, or nearly half a million, of the the medium and better class of goods produced in this country in a single year. * Be Raines have also been so successfully manu factured, says the N. Y. Herald, that a host of new mills are racing into it in jealous eagerness to make big fortunes. Presently, says the Herald, they will completely break down the business by overpro duction and charge their self-made ruin to some nonsense about the tariff— Mining Register, . Attacks on Judge Lewis. The infamous falsehoods published against Judge Lewis in the Harrisburg Telegraph and its filthy coadjutor in this City, y’clept the National Whig are thus alluded to by an intelligent correspondent of the Pennsylvanian writing from Northumber land : - As to the slanders against Judge Lewis, they amount to nothing when it is known through whom they originated. And as to Judge Campbell, he will get the full vote of his party, notwithstanding the assertions of the Sunbury American to the contrary, as the oppo sition of that press can have no weight with the true Democracy.” D7~The New York papers contain the particu lars of a most brutal murder committed in that city on Saturday week. The Courier-says— A man named John Sullivan, keeper of a junk shop, in John street,, occupied apartments at the above number—his wife, two children and cousin lived with him. It is said that Sullivan and his wife were in the habit of quarreling daily and an noying persons living under the same roof with them. Yesterday, about noon, it is alleged, Sulli van, while intoxicated, (fttme home and commenced breaking furniture, and abusing his wife in such a manner, that she left the room where he was, and fastened herself in another room near by, Sullivan continuing to destroy his own property. Edward Smith, a young man, boarding with Mrs. Ferris, in the same house, went to his apartment a little after one o’clock, and advised him not to do so, when Sullivan laid violent hands upon him, and endeavored to throw him on the floor. Smith tried to get clear of his antagonist, but did not succeed. Sullivan called for his wife Julia, and his cousin Mary Moran, who came to his assistance, and also attacked Smith. The latter becoming enraged at their united efforts to injure him, threw Sullivan on the floor and had mastered him, when the wo men clenched Smith, and held'him down until Sul livan brought a knife from tbe cupboard, and stab bed him. He died in a few minutes, and Sullivan and his wife and cousin were immediately arrested. Heavt Failure.-—A large dry goods firm, in Baltimore, stopped payment on Saturday week with liabilities amounting to about $300,000, at least one-third of which are caused by losses in California shipments. Several heavy failures have also occurred in Philadelphia, within the last week or two. Revenue op the Post Office Department under THE Late Law.— The National Intelligencer gives the following as the increase under the late postage law, for the quarter ending March 31st, 1851, the accounts of which have just been settled: “ Tbe nett receipts of postages during that quarter amount to $1 723,828 43. For the corresponding quarter of 1850 the amount was $1,462,1G5 64. showing an increase of $261,762 79, or about 17f percent. Should tbe receipts of the last quarter of the fiscal year (the accounts for which will not be fully settled until October) show a similar in crease, the revenue account for the year will exhibit the gratifying increase of eighteen per cent nearly.” On the Ist of July last, tbe new postage law, which reduces the rates of postage, went into ope. ration, and it will be interesting to see the effect the reduction of rates will have upon the revenue of the department.

Editor : lam happy to congratulate you upon the gratifying result of the Reading Conven tion of the fourth of June—the pleasing selection of the truly great and gond Bigler, by that noble assembly of Democrats, for Gubernatorial nominee For he is a worthy man. -The blood that courses in his veins, is no sluggish current of a mercenary Whig, but the warm blood of a reliable, true-hearted Democrat and philanthropist. His, the enduring and ardent love for his country; his the deepest scorn for a mean action; bis the inexpressible in dignation when the spirit of fanaticism rears its snaky head in its vile attempts at poisoning the pure fountains of our glorious Union. •• For (ha fnteniffcnci I love to contemplate Bigler the Man. Nay, even Bigler the Printer’s boy, tugging at the press and laying the foundation of his future greatness. I like to contemplate Bigler the stripling Demo cratic editor, sitting in his printing room, clad in the garb of the poor peasant boy—neglected and unknown—ardently .devoted to the cause of his country and the happiness of hia fellow beings with pen in hand advocating the rights of sun-hurnt tod. I like to contemplate Wm. Bigler dressed in the garb ol a son of hardship and toil, laboring with tho sun-burnt lumberman amid the tall pines ol the ““jthern wilds of the majestic Susquehanna, rhl'-fl’idJt” d J vith his fellow oarsmen yonder, on the-floating lumber, teased to and fro by the'proud waves of that lofty stream. Or yet again, I love to contemplate Bigler the poor, friendless printer boy, elevated to the giant statesman, presiding over the Senate of hia native State, supporting with firm countenance and determined resolve, the measures of the lamented Shunk, and with him, opposing the nlgAnd schemes of dishonest ambition against of the Commonwealth. contemplate this son of toil, to whom, the public, there never came an hour of idle repose ; because his anxiety to faithfully discharge the duties of his station, stimulated him to steady exertion. Too pure for party intrigue, soaring far above the foul atmosphere of faction,’ the only aim of his pure soul was the good of his country. * And lastly, still more do I like to behold this noble son of Nature’s creation, standing before tho proud Democratic Freemen of the great • Keystone State as their chosen candidate for the highest office known to the Constitution of Pennsylvania. For with this true nobleman of soaring genius—known to every cottager in the State, as their standard bearer, they have nothing to fear from the fangs of Whiggery or wolves of faction, that sally forth from their dens; for the name of this Man, clad in tho coarse garments of toil, will reach the heart of his brother peasant in the cottage, his brother mechanic in the work-shop and Ki« fellow husbandman in his field, bid them look from their toil, and know them selves Men—call them forth to battle, that with tho Tush of the mighty torrent, will carry tho stronghold ot the enemy and drive factionists howling from the camp with a victory that will resound from tho Aroostic to the Rio Grande. A LABORER. tor the Intelligencer. Mr. Editor A low, miserable and libellous Whig paper, published in this city, reprinted a few days ago, ao advertisement ofa runaway apprentice, published many years since by Mr. John Wyeth. Does Uncle Sam advertise the names of deserters from the Navy? If we desired to'do the Whig party any service, we would call the attention of Naval Officers to an individual residing in the city of Lancaster, who agreed to render certain service to the United States which has not been.performed. Look out for the Blue Jackets and the Marines.

Immense Flight of Grasshoppers.— On Sunday last at about 12 o’clock. M., a flight of grasshop pers passed over our city, continuing some three lours, and extending some miles to the east and west, which, in point of numbers; exceeded all computation. The sky was perfectly full, and in the rays of the sun, myriads could be seen, looking like snow flakes, moving about in circles, and ap parently going southward. Some eight years ago, a similar phenomenon was observed in this city, but this is said to have been on a much larger scale. —Reading Press. Dyspeptics, Read!!

Mrs. Francis R., wife of John M. Araweg. Esq.! aged 22 years, and 11 months. It is with feelings of deep regret that we notice the death of the young and amiable. The interest .which nature prompts us‘to feel in the welfare of those we admire for their good qualities, awaken the most agonizing yearnings when compelled to contemplate their death. The subject of ibis no tice, cut off in the prime of her young days and whilst surrounded and associated with all that could add to the enjoyments of life, is a sad illustration ot the insecurity of earthly existence and tbe un fathomable ways of Providence. Truly, (t in the midst of life we are in death.” In health it hanga above us like the sword over the head of Damocles; m sickness, like the slowly advancing yet destruct ive Pendulum. There is, however, an Inspiring nope that clings around thesickened soul und brings with it the highest consolation. The trials and vi cissitudes of a turbulent world are about to yield to the enjoyments of a ** land paved with gold,” on. whose smooth and glittering surface the troubles and' turmoils of < arth arc unknown. To the deceased such has been the change. Schooled from her in-. lancy in the paths of virtue and recti'iide, she never departed from them, and,thus was happily enabled to exclaim, “ O death! where is thy sting 1 O grave ! where is thy victory 1 ” Kind and forgiving, generous to a fault, and the possessor of the highest and moot amiable domestic qualities, her home was at once made the theatre of tranquility and- enjoy mentj gentle and modest in her deportmenttowards others, she gathered around her many warm and admiring friends; affectionate and dutiful in her re lations as a wife and mother,-her los9 will spread a solemn gloom over her husband and kindled that time can never efface. We sympathize with the sorrowing and afflicted, but bid them take cheer.— “ The happiest hour for the good, is that wherein they die.” Of her it may be truly said, “ None knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise.” On the 12th inst., in this city, Mrs. Ellen O’Neill, niece of the Rev.
