Wedded Love's First Home
I:=
'Twas lar beyond yon mountain, dear,
We plighted vows of love;
The ocean wave was at our feet,
The autumn sky above;
The pebbly chore was covered o'er
With many a varied shell,
And on the billow's curling spray
'fhe sunbeams glittering fell.
The storm has vexed that billow MI,
And oft that still' has set,
But plighted love remains with us,
In peace and lustre yet.
I wiled thee to a lonely haunt,
That bashful love might speak
Where none could hear what love revealed,
Or see the crimson cheek;
The shore 'was all deserted,
And we wandered there alone,
And not a human step impressed
The sand beach but our own.
Thy footsteps all have vanished
From the billow beaten strand—
The vows we breathed remain with us—
They were not traced in sand.
Far, far we left the sea girt shore,
Endeared by childhood's dream,
To seat the humble cot that smiled
By fair Ohio's stream;
_ In vain the mountain cliff opposed,
The mountain torrent roared,
For love unfurled her silken wing,
Ana o'er each barrier soared ;
And many a wide domain we passed
And many an ample dome,
But none so.blessed, so dear to us,
As wedded love's first home.
Beyond those mountains now are all
That e'er we loved or knew,
The long remembered many,
And the dearly cherished few;
The home of her we value,
And the grave of him we mourn,
And there;—and there is all the past,
To which the heart can turn;
But dearer scenes surround us here,
And lovelier joys we trace,
I , or here is wedded love's first home,
Its hallowed resting place.
The Shirt Tail Fight
FROM MY GRANDFATHER ' S RECOLLECTION OF THE
Said my grandfather one evening—
"About fifty of us had been engaged for several
days in performing a secret duty, and were return
ing. We had to - pass very near the British lines,
and to avoid being taken, and also to save a wide
circuit of miles, we resolved to encamp in a secret
place we know ot, through the day, and tinder the
shadows of night pass unseen on the direct course
to General lorgan's camp. The day was beauti
ful, and we had chosen for our resting place and
the spot we had chosen for our resting place was one
of those greasy nooks shut apparently from - Abe rest
of the world by lines of hills, impenetrable under
brush, , md a gigantic forest; a small but clear and
deep stream ran by it, and the sun was at such an
inclination as to throw half the little spot in shade.
We laid down. our arms, relieved ourselves of our
knapsacks, and spreading the scanty store upon the
grass, ate with a good appetite, refreshed ourselves
from the limpid waters of the streams and then
each amused himself as he could.
After resting a while some went to the bath,
and one by one, as the pleasure seemed to increase,
followed, until the whole party were in the stream.
This lasted for about halt an hour, and the most of
us had returned to the shore and were dressing,
when a new feature was given to the scene by one
of the number saying that he was going to wash
his shirt. Now most of us had worn these pecu
liar garments, one, two, three, and tour weeks, and
some even longer, without their having been once
washed, and there was no doubt of needing it very
much; for, mind you, the man in those days who
could afford two shirts—whole shirts—was a curl ,
osity. The idea therefore was a, good one, and
many immediately began disroing themselveS
again, and were soon as busy as washerwoman,
rubbing away like fulling mills. As the pieces
were finished, they were hung in the sun on limbs
of trees, or spread out on the grass. Many were
still engaged at their washing some were stretched
on the.g'round in deep sleep, some were wrestling,
some jumping, some collected in knots, telling
stories, nearly all naked as the day they were born
—in fact, as happy as fellows could be with but
one shirt, and that drying in the sun, and -but a
morsel in the knapsacks, when we were started—
yes, indeed, really frightened—by a volley of mus
ketry, the balls of which whistled by us, fortunate
ly, only making a few slight flesh wounds.
The sound of musketry, although it surprised
us a little at first, we were too much accustomed to
hearing, to remain long under a panic; so the next
moment each of us was,in possession of his musket,
and himself covered by a tree. We had not long
to wait before a large body of British broke thro'
the uncierbush, which had before concealed them,
and rushed with fixed bayonets upon us. But their
progress was suddenly checked. by our fire, which
laid a large number of them dead before us. We
had not time to re load, when the enemy again
charged down upon us, and we were forced to give
way. We ran some distance; and reloading, stood
our ground. Up to this time we had not thought
of the condition we were 'in. when one of the offi
cers, all at once, cried out, "Boys will you lose your
shirts?" then casting our eyes around quickly, we
gave a shout. "Now for our shirts!" As soon as
the British came to our view, we poured in a well
directed fire, and immediately charged with the
bayonet. So suddenly had this movement been
made, that, having supposed that we were still run
ning the other way, and then came their turn to
run. After diem we shouted still, with our new
watchword—"shirts!" The officers of the enemy
having at length succeeded in securing the atten
tion of the men, wheeled them ; and gave us a re
turn fire, which, killing, as we supposed, some of
our party, we again took to our heels ; and the red
coats, taking up our cry of '•;shirts," came pell-mell
after us. Again we turned 'and charged the British
running, they in turn again charging upon, each
party shouting "shirts," until it finally became a
regular shirt-tail fight.
"At length becoming somewhat exasperated with
the game, and constantly reminded of our shirts by
the enemy screaming it in our ears, and recollect
ing, too, that we would not cut a very pretty figure
returning to quarters sans culottes, we made one des
perati charge, and finally succeeded in gaining the
(lay by driving the British from the field. Several
of our party were wounded, but none killed. Not
so with the British. The dead were scattered all
over the little green space and through the woods;
and, putting on our garments, and leaving the dead
to be buried by their own people, we took the cir
cuitous route which we had avoided in the morn
ing, (thereby having been obliged to fight a little
battle,) and reached the camp about midnight,
when we caused no little merriment, and often of
terwardp when we relate our adventure of th e
"shirt tail fight."
Large Contract.—Four gentlemen, residents o
Springfield, Massachusetts, have agreed to build the
Ten e Haute and Alton (Ill.) railroad. This road
extends 175 miles, entirely across the Southren part
of Illinois. These gentleman have contracted to,
build the road, furnish the iron, build the depots cars
locomotives, &c., putting the entire road in running
order, within three year's, for the round sum of three
million of dollars. The route is comparatively an
easy one, and it is believed that the road will be
completed within two years.

Our New York Correspondence.
NEW YORE, June 3, 1852.
Ma. Exton:—The result of the Democratic
National Convention is looked for by the Wings with
great anxiety; their hope of success in the coming
struggle being founded, not on the strength of the
candidate whom they may present, but in the per
sonal weakness of his opponent. Difficult as it
may be to effect the Democratic nomination, the
Whigs are in far the most embarrassing pz.sition.
Of the thirteen candidates for nomination held in
view by the Democratic Convention, there is not
one who does not stand well with the American
people. There is scarcely' one of them who would
not be an acceptable nominee; ,and the selection
might almost be made by drawing lots, without
danger of disturbing the harmony, the unity, and
the integrity of the great Democratic party.
On the other' hand, there are only three names
to go before the Whig Convention—Fillmore, Web
ster, and Scott; and of these, only two' have any
elements of popularity, and these are so sectional
in their character, that the nomination of either of
them must he fatal. The Whigs of the South will
not tol6rate Scott, and those of the NOW' are de
termined to . reject Fillmore. The majority of the
convention will, unquestionably, be for Scott; and
his nomination is therefore as curtain as can be.—
If the Whigs would take a good lesson from us, and
adopt the two-third rule, all their " old fogies "
would be thrown overboard, and a moue dangerous
opponent could be selected than we are now likely
to encounter. Daniel Webster has declared that
the Whig party required democratizing. and he
ought to know. I doubt not, that with his fine
abi,ities, he often regrets the untoward circum
stances which threw him into the arms of the Fed
eral party.' 'Had he been a Democrat, the highest
honors in thernation's power to bestow might have
been hie, loiig ago. As it is, the world has, in his
person, a remarkable illustration of the truth that,
without sound political principles, no man can se
cure the affections of a free people, be his talents
and acquirements vast and comprehensive as they
may.
There is some reason to suppose that, in the
event of Scott's nomination, the zealous Compro
mise Whigs will bolt, and run Fillmore in opposi
tion. If any reliance could be placed inthe threats
of politicians, there would be no doubt of this, but
the greatest professions of resolution and firmness
have so often been overcome by considerations of
individual interest that it is impossible to exercise
much faith. One of the most recent indications of
the Fillmore men to bolt, is the fact that, at the
last meeting of the General Committee of this city,
they voted against a resolution pledging that body
to support the regular nominee. Qui viva verra,
as the ilexicans say.
Recent travellers through the British North
American provinces testify to the rapid growth of
a democratic spirit among the population, and there
I can he no question that they are fast ripening for
the consummation of that inevitable destiny which
points to their' annexation to the United States.—
In Upper Canada, this spread of republican ideas
is more noticeable than elsewhere; and it is men
tioned as an indication of th• greater sympathywhich
the people have with the Union than with Great
Britain, that the settlers' houses are more frequent
ly ornamented with portraits of Generals Scott,
Taylor, Wool, Butler, Pillow, and other heroes of
the Mexican War, than with the Queen, the royal
babies, "the Duke," or Nelson's Victories, which
usually decorate the dwellings of legal Englishmen.
Such things may appear like trifles in themselves
but they show which way the wind blows and show
' that the Canadians are watching our progress with
a growing desire to be partakers of it.
Much complaint is made of the practice of banks
borrowing money from each other upon small inter
est, to loan to their customers at high rates. Owing
to this, the abundance of money does not so mate
rially benefit the business commnnity as it ought to
do. If the current of gold from California, Austra
lia, and the Ural Mountains, continues to flow into
the usury market of the world, as abundantly as it
has done for the past year or two, the rate of inter
est on bank loans will probably be reduced. It is
unreasonable and unrighteous that the safest busi
ness men in New York should have to pay such
high rates, while the merchants of London, and of
the other cities of the old world, can procure what
ever accommodations they may desire, on merely
nominal terms. This condition of things gives for
eigners great advantage, and goes far to turn the
balance of trade. .
- • .. -
Talking of gold reminds me of a highly original
means of getting rid of surplus cash, in vogue
among the miners at the Australian diggings. They
go into the towns, convert their dust into bank-bills,
and then put one between two pieces of bread and
butter, and eat it up. The correspondent of a Lon
dnn paper says that he has seen several £2O bank
notes thus devoured. .£1 and £5 notes are used
by these gentry for lighting their pipes ; and so anx
ious are they to ape the gentleman, according to
their conception of that hard-to-be-described ani
mal, that they will throw down a bank.bill for a
plug of tobacco, and affect to . consider themselves
insulted, if the shop-keeper offers them back their
change.
Mr. }foulard, the basso of the "Alleghenians," a
well-known and popular troupe of singerS; has
written a very readable letter from San Juan del
Sud, to the Musical World of this city. This
troupe left New York for San Francisco, about the
middle of last March, by the Nicaragua route. Mr.
Boulard's letter is dated April 7, and he says : "We
ought to have been in San Francisco by this time;
but we are not there, and nobody this side of Par
adise can say when we will be; at any rate, we - are
certain that no one connected with the Nicaragua
route can give us any reliable information on the
subject. It is now just four weeks since we left
New York, over two of which we have spent in
Central America, among the mosquitoes, reptiles,
and other natives; none of whom are such associ
ates as a well-bred yankee would voluntarily se
lect The " Alleghenians " must pay for their
obstinacy, like other people. They were advised,
repeatedly, in my hearing, by persons who had trav
eled both routes, to tape passage in one of the ves
sels of the U. S. Mail Steamship Co., to Aspinwall,
from which city there is a railroad nearly all the
way across the Isthmus. By this route, they would
have been put through in one-half the time.
The total Imports of New York, since January
Ist, of the present year, have fallen short of those
of the corresponding period of 1851, no less than
37,654,228. Of this decrease, the sum of $2,939,-
808 has occurred in the item of dry goods alone .
Yours truly,
THE LATE JOHN HrATILAND.-A Paris letter
has the following tribute to the memory of this
American Architect :
While on the fine arts, let me pay a poor trib
ute to the late John Haviland In the death of this
architect, America has lost a great man. Our stan
dard of greatness being not high; we let such men
go down to the tomb unnoticed, while liberty is
.made to weep when a village politician or barbecue
hero dies. Such men as John Haviland are no
more replaced than were Oliver Evans, John San
derson, or Edgar Poe. He studied his profession
nine years, and then travelled over Europe, perfect
ing his taste in the consideration of antique and
medieval masterpieces. America is a poor place
for an architpet ; if he has genius, his best ideas
never are materialized; they die with him. So
was it with Mr. Haviland. Some of the grandest
conceptions that art and democracy could combine,
intensely American, were his, and were never de
veloped. They lie dead in his portfolio. But his ge
nius was felt in something ; in the radiating system
of the architecture of the Eastern Penitentiary he
set a model, which England, France, Russia and
Austria have imitated, and which will reform the
prison discipline of all Europe. His architecture
of the "Toombs," New York was pronounced, by
a competent European authority, the most com
plete design in America. Such a genius deserves
particular notice in our national biography, and
emblazonment at the capitol, as one of the pioneer
artist-heroes of country. Nature singularly gilled
him ; a frame of iron, a hand as steady as a ma
chine, equally remarkable with the pencil of the
sportsman's work, and, heart as warm as friendship
could desire. W. H. F.
'lnc CORNWALL RAILROAD.—Certain parties are
threatening
the state with a rival to the Columbia
railroad, by way of Lebanon valley, Cornwall, &c.,
and they assert that various charters granted at one
time and another by. the Legislature, will enable
them to build a direct railroad from Harrisburg to
some point on the Reading railroad, making the
distance from this place to Philadelphia less than
by way of Columbia. We are told by persons
conversant with the contents of the charters refer
red to and the authorirty granted by them, that tin
der their provisions no such connexion would as is
threatened can be made. It would be well for the
belligerents referred to, to look to this matter in
time, lest their gas be expended in vain.
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR,CMWMAIDSTHE GREATEST REWARD."
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1852.
The Texas Fair.
A great Southern Fair was held at Corpus Christi,
on the Bth ultimo. It is thus described by a cor-
respondent
"Corpus Christi, at this time, presents one of the
most novel, exciting, and extraordinary spectacles
that was, perhaps, ever presented in the United
States. There not being sufficient accommodation
for the great- crowds of people who continue to ar
rive, large tents have been put under the Bluff, giv
ing the place something of the aspect it wore when
thL Army was encamped here. .In the crowded
streets pre seen the wild Ranchero, mounted on a
Mustang pony, with his gay trappings, and silver
band around his hat, while from his belt is exposed
a pistol,—to the pretty and modest Mexican madien,
with her rebosa fluttering in the wind; American
ladies, on horseback and in carriages; officers 01 the
army; border chiefs and Texan frontiermen; Caman
che and Lipan Indians; gamblers, merchants and
traders and a fair delegation of citizens from the ad
jacent States.
The Exhibition consists of Mexican fabrics and
manufactures, magnificently wrought blankets, em
broidery, fine saddles, bridles and spurs. One sad
dle, wrought with silver and gold, cost $6OO. Fine
stock composes the principle feature of the Fair.
and there are as fine brood mares, horses, cattle and
sheep here as I ever saw. This is certainly one of
the best of countries for raising stock. The speci
mens of cotton and sugar are also very fine. The
samples of prime and mess beet are worthy of es
pecial notice. The beef is cured by the vacuum
process of preserving meat, invented by Dr. Lard
ner. By this process all the air, blood and animal
heat, which compose •the spoiling qualities of the
meat, are extracted, and the beef thoroughly satur
ated with pickle, so that it will keep sweet for years.
The operation is effected in from 24 to 36 hours,
according to the temperature of the atmosphere.
On account of the revolutionary movement on
the Rio Grande, not as many Mexicans have come
in with their goods as was expected; but still there
is a very good showing.
After each day's race, a sale of stock and lands
took place. Good mules sold from $24 to $32.
Mexican 4? horses at $2O. Cattle at $3 per head
Mares, from $6 to $l3, and back town lots at $lOO.
The stock Sold for cash, and the lots, one-fourth
cash and the balance at one, two and three years.
Thus, you will perceive tha emigrants may soon
make themselves a home here for a few hundred
dollars. As high as 1,000 head of cattle were sold
in one day, and as many as 60 lots at one sale.
Extent of American Railroads.
7. C. G. Kennedy , Esq., of the Patent Office, at
Washington city, at the request of the French De
partment of public works has prepared a paper
giving the statistics of American railroads, which
contain's much valuable information. We make
the following extract :
No authentic statement has ever been given of
the capital invested in the railroads of the United
States, but we have the means of forming an esti
mate upon which much reliance may be placed.
The subjoined table exhibits the amount of capi
tal, as near as can be ascertained from published
reports and other sources of information, expended
on their railroads in actual operation on the lst Jan-
nary, 1832:
New England States,
New York,
New Jersey,
Penna., Del., Alaryl'd & Virginia
North Carolina,
South Carolina,
Georgia,
Alabama,
Louisiana,
Tennessee
Kentucky,
Ohio,
Indiana,
Illinois,
Michigan,
Wisconsin,
Total cost of railroads in the United
States,
The amount invested in - the lines under construc
tion it is impossibly to estimate with even an ap
proximation to correctness. Their cost, when
completed, will be considerable less than that of an
equal length of road now in operation.
TILE Suns TitAux.—An exchange paper says:
Some of the protectionist prints are callidg upon
the journeymen shoemakers to take the Whig side
in politics, for the reason that, under the tariff now
in force, enacted by a democratic Congress, great
quantities of boots and shoes are brought into the
country from France. The rich dealer, according
to them, makes a heavy profit on his imported boots,
while the. American journeyman starves.
The Poughkeepsie ✓American has taken the pains
to look a little into the matter of the import of
boots and shoes, and, on'consulting the Annual Re
port of Commerce and Navigation for the year 1851,
made up in the office of Mr. Corwin, Mr Fillmo:ie's
Secretary of the Treasury, it finds that in the year
ending January 30th, 1851, there was an importa
tion of 162,243 pairs of boots, bootees, children's
shoes, &c., valued at $83,762.
As an offset to this importation, there were in the
same time exported, 77,478 pairs of boots, and 20.5,-
198 pairs of shoes, the produce of the United States,
valued at $458 838, leaving a balance in favor of
the export side of the account, of $375.076.
Late California News
NEwYonx, June 2.—The steamer Northern-light
from San Juan, via Aspinwall, on the Isthmus, ar
rived here to-day, with three hundred passengers,
and a small omount of specie not reportad.
She brings San Francisco dates to the 6th of May.
The previous dates were to the 18th of April,
consequently the advices by this steamer are 18
days later. . . .

The steamer Columbia sailed from San Francisco
on the sth, bringing down one hundred and eighty
passengers, and one million eight hundred and thir
ty-six thousand, eight hundred and forty-five dollars
of gold, on freight. _ _
The steamer Winfield Scott also left San Fran

The Legislature have passed a flour inspection
bill, which was pronounced odious. Also, a hill
appropriating $600,000 for the payment of Indian
war claims.
The Senate joint resolutions on the Compromise
measures had also passed the House.
The dreaded anniversary of the great fire passed
off quietly. thouA so great was the fear of the in•
habitants that a similar calamity would visit them,
that all the engines of the city were ranged in the
streets, with ropes strecthed, &c.
Intelligence from Shasta reports the killing of
one hnndred and fifty Indians by the whites who
were enfuriated at the murder of Mr. Anderson, by
the Indians.
A memorial signed by many of the most substan
tial citizens of San Francisco, depricatinz hasty
legislation in the matter of Chinese emigration, has
been presented to the legislature. In the mean time,
intelligence from Sacramento announces great ex
citement in regard to the Chinese amongst gold
diggers along the banks of the American river, and
their forcible expulsion from the digging .vas taking
place daily. One morning 200 were driven off from
one locality. There was but one opinion among
American miners in regard to the importation of
Chinese into the mines. They are fully determined
to submit no longer.
The Legislature had closed its session.
The house of Seldon,
Withers & Co., of Washing
ton City, have realized a gain of $340,000 on the
Virginia State Bonds, for the sale of which they

for which they agreed to account to the State for
$1,000,000 at par, and two per cent. on the re
maining $3,000,000, being entitled to any excess

Extraordinary preperations were made on the I
road from St. Petersburg to Warsaw, for the jour. I
ney of the Empress and her numerous suite. When
the Emperor trels alone he generally does so in
a more simple htanner. The road for 400 English
miles was repairerl•and swept by hand, every stone
being removed, and at every post station 176 hor
ses were kept ready harnessed, that not an instant
might be lost. In Berlin the expected arrival of the
Empress was a l mounced by the increased severity
of the police inspection of travellers on the railway
stations. For two days past no person was allow
ed to get out of the carriages till after his papers
had been rigedly examined; all persons coming trom
Poland were detained, without exception, for spe
cial examination.

Tempest in al Tea Pot.—The letter of Chevalier
Hunslemann, late Minister from Austria, relative to
the conduct of [Mr. Webster, in making speeches in
favor of Hungary, &c., places the good sense of the
Chevalier in no very handsome lignt. He evidently
does not comprehend either the people or the insti
tutions of this country; and his return home, there
fore, will be all the better for himself and Austria.
The Chevalier complains of Mr. W. as if quite
unable to distinguish between his public conduct,
as Secretary of State, and his private conduct, as a
citizen. The Chevalier also finds fault with the
ridicule bestowed on him by the press, as if the gov
ernment here, as in despotic,Austria, could order an
editor to publish or not publish What it pleases,
could hang the editor aforesaid' if recusant, or sus
pend his effigy . and shoot at it, (as the Austrians
did with Kossuth and his companions,) should the
editor betake himself personally, to some • other
country! Go to, Mr. Chevalier! You're a noodle.—

[l:'The Reading Cotton Factory is now fairly
under way and doing a splendid business: Of the
300 looms in the building, 200 are in full operation
turning out an average of six thousand yards of fine
muslin per day—or between forty and fifty thou
sand yards per week. In a few weeks more, every
loom in the building will be in motion, when the
daily manufacture will average at least 8000 yards,
which is set down as the lull capacity of the mill
in ordinary working hours. The new operatives
have already 'acquired considerable dexterity, and
will very soon attain the proficiency of old hands
at the business. They work by the piece, and are
thus paid in proportion to the amount of wotk turn
ed out. Thp muslins of this mill are of very supe
rior quality and command a ready sale in the mar
ket. The Journal says, much credit is due Mr.
Davis, the Superintendent, and the overseers of the
various departments, for the admirable arrange
ment that obtains throughout the building. We con
gratulate the' stockholders upon the prospects of a
fair and remunerative business from this time for
ward.—Reading Press. •
Importations of Sugar and Molasses.—The im
portation of these necessary articles, which enter
so largely into the consumption of every family in
the country, has reached an,extent calculated to
astonish those who have not looked particularly
into the subject. During the year 1851, the im
portation of broWn sugars into the United States
amounted to 366,537,861 pounds—value $12,882,-
274; of white or refined sugars, 17,000,000 lbs.—
value $1,000,000. Of molasses there mere imported
36,376,772 gallons, valued at s3,7o7,sBl—making
the total valuation of the importation of these two
articles $17,589,855—0r nearly one-twelfth of the
value of the , entire imports of the year, which
amounted to $216,224,932. The principal import
of sugar is from Cuba; 276,000,000 lbs., valued, at
$10,000,000, coming from that island.
Tits PLANK ROAD.—The stock for the new plank
road from Manheim to Cornwall, a distance of
about five miles, we learn has all been taken, and
that the timber is about being or perhaps .by this
time has berf, contracted for. Mifflin, an accom
plished engineer, who has had considerable experi
ence in plank roads, will be on the route on Mon
day, and the work will de commenced as Soon there
after as possible.—The timber will be sawed by a
portable machine which will be brought on the
road. We are very glad to see this enterprise
going ahead, and presume it, will soon be extended
to Manheim, there connecting with the Manheim
and Lancaster plank road, and thus form a connex
ion with Lancaster.—Couricr.

Whig Economy.
In this way does the Louisville Democral talk
'Sixty millions of dollars per annum!—only
think of it! Nearly one hundred and fifty tons of
gold, or twenty-five hundred tons of silver! The an
nual expenditures of the feedral government in gold
would load a train of one hundred wagons with a
tan and a half each; or in silver, a train of sixteen
hundred. Two thirds of the annual product of Cali
fornia can not more than keep the treasury supplied
The statistics of our cotton crop are sometimes
reckoned immense, but in ordinary seasons the ex
penditures of the federal government would swallow
up the whole of it at market value. Sixty millions
gone. sunk in. unproductive hands! This sum would
educate every youth, male and female, in the United
States. It would build three thousand miles of
railroads, as about twice as many have been built by
the State of New York, with all her wealth and en
terprise, and nearly one third as many as have been
built in the 11. S. up to this date. This is paying
dearly for Government. Suppose a man earn 50
cents per day over his expenses, it would require
the earnings of 384,000 men to supply the treasury
of the U. S. if they were day laborers, to support
that system of extravagance and profligacy at
Washington."
RE-APPEARANCE OF THE CHOLEUA AT THE WEST
AND Soura IV-EST.—The Cholera has appeared in
Louisiana, and several cases have proved fatal but,
the disease has been confined to a single plantation.
It has also broken out at Cairo, on ti _e Mississippi,
'where one steamer was obliged to leave twenty
passengers sick with it, nine of whom had died at
the last dates. Three or four citizens of the town
had also fallen victims, among them being the Post-
Master. The people were all leaving the place.
The same disease bad, at the last accounts, increas
ed so much at the frontier town of St. Joseph, Mo ,
that the citizens were under great apprehension of
an epidemic. The California emigrants had nearly
all departed for the plains.
GLORIOUS HAnosoxy—The New York Courier
and Enquirer says that the nomination of Mr. FILL
MORE for the Presidency by the Whig party:would
be a sure' precursor of defeat. The Washington Re
public says that the nomination of Mr. WEBSTER
would involve the party in irretrievable ruin. And
the Glasgow (Ky.) Reveille says that the nomina
tion of General Scorr would be the deatlkknell of
whiggery. Truly, whiggery is in a fix..
Potatoes a Profitable Crop.—Mr. Robert IV, Lewis
near Charlottesville, Va., planted last year on a
piece of land less than an acre, upon which he put
fifty loads of manure, six bushels of mercer, potato
es, from which he raised three hundred bushels of
very superior potatoes. Last week he sold a por
tion of them at $l. per bushel.
