For the IntelßEM. ,
HARRIBBIIRG, July 29,1852.
Ma Eritrea ;—Having had occasion to visit the
western part of Pennsylvania, on my way I delay
ed a day at the Capital of the State. During my
stay there, I took a walk to view the Legislative
Halls public public buildings and offices of government.
Thee° beautiful buildings and elevated ground on
which' they stand, and the variety of trees on the
eurrotinding ground make a splendid appearance—
and the pure•and fresh air you breathe is calculated
to enliven, elevate and give vigor to the mind.—
From 'the dome of the Capitol I was much delight
ed with the beautiful view of the handsome town of
Harrisburg, and the range of mountains and beau
tiful surrounding scenery which were presented to
. my eYes for several miles.
I also visited the Governor's rooms, which are
neatly furnished and fitted up. I was kindly recei
ved by the Governor in a gentlemanly, plain and
Republican style, without ostentation. In his con
. versation he is free and frank, and gives evidence
of sound judgment and great firmness. His plea
sing and cheerful countenance is an indication of
goodness of heart, which makes all who visit him
feel dt ease. During my conversation with him
which lasted more titan an hour, an incident of a
pleasing character took place. A youth entered
the !limn, and with a smiling countenance present
ed to! the Governor a handsome bunch of flowers,
tastefully put up wtth the following note :
"Gtivernor BIGLER—Sir : Your Honor will please
accept, with the compliments of the donor, this
'email tribute of respect, as an appreciation of your
good and well guided judgment in the imrtant
position you now occupy as Governor of our State.
ONE OF THE FEEBLER SEX."
This small tribute of respect was gratifying to my
feelings, and is an evidence that even the Ladies
apprdve of his nets and judgment as Governor of
the Mate.
All who visit Governor Bigler leave him gratified
with 'a deep sense and impression on their minds
r
that ' ill be lasting—of this truly popular , great and
good man. His pathway is strewed with flowers.
Prov deuce has raised him up from a poor Printer
boy to honor and distinction, and has designed him
for yet greater and more useful purposes at the head
of our State Government. '
I rim thus far on my return home from the West
and North West—Much pleased with my trip. From
my intercourse with all classes of men, without devi
atingl from the truth and according to my judgment,
Pier e and King will have an 'old fashioned major-.
am ity,
, uch as there was in the days of Jackson. The
"'Democracy of Pennsylvania are united, firm and de
ter Mined and hundreds of Whigs are joining their
mike in support of Gen. Pierce and Cul. King.
The Governor is a man of much firmness and
true (republican principles, and freely expresses his
opinions with full confidence of a glorious victory
in the triumphant election of Pierce and King, the
DeMocratic candidates. A REPUBLICAN,
Who admires Worth and Merit.
• 'XXII Congress—First Session.
WASHINGTON, August 3.
Saorra.—A large number of petitions were pre
sentbd, and appropriately referred.
The Chair presented a message from the Presi
deni of the United States, in answer to the resolu
tion of Mr. Mason, calling for information respect
ing the Fisheries, accompanied with the Report of
the acting Secretary of State. The President, in
reply, says that the U. S. Steam Frigate Mississippi,
under the command of Commodore Perry; has been
orddred to the Fishing Grounds to protect the Amer
iced fishermen.
Mr. Cass moved that the whole subject be re
ferred to a Committee. He made a most able
speech; showing that the present claim of the Bri
tishiGuvernment was unfounded, and should be re
sist d at all hazards.
Mr. Davis followed, and took the same side of
:111. the lquestion.
Mr. Hamlin followed, showing that the construe.
lion placed upon the treaty of 1818 by England,
wad untenable:
The Senate then went into Executive session, and
shoftly thereafter adjourned.
Hoces.—After the presentation of petitions, a
• resillution was adopted to terminate the general de
bats on the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation
Bili, one hour after it was taken up in Committee
of tie Whole.
• •
MeLarlahan, from the Committee on the Ju
dietary, reported a new fee bill to regulate the
charges in the United States Circuit and District
Courts.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, and resumed the
consideration of the Civil and Diplomatic Appro
priation Bill.
Mr. Howe, of Pa„ having the floor, made a
speech against the 'Fugitive Slave Law.
The amendments to the bill were further debated
at rnsiderable length, when finally, for want of a
quorum, the House adjourned.
Scarcity of Water.
The New York papers inform us that the Croton
rhie r has been found insufficient to supply the pop
..elation of that city with water, owing to the lavish
and wasteful manner in which it is used. The sub
ject has been made a matter of inquiry by the au
thOrities. and the following are some of the facts re
poked by the Committee:
'The minimum flow of the Croton during a
drought is less than 27,000,000 gallons in 24 hours.
Now all that flow is brought to this city, and yet the
suiwly is now down in the receiving reservoirs more
than three feet lower than the top water line, ann
the distributing reservoir is not full by ten feet. The
ipiantity that can be delivered in one day is limited
tolthe capacity of two pipes of three feet diameter,
so that if the Croton River could afford us any
greater supply, we could not get out of the diffi
culty for some time. The Committee state that
thle cost per gallon is three-fourths of a cent, and
•
that the daily loss by waste amounts to $500,000
per annum. The Committee conclude their report
by the suggestion that, unless our citizens volunta
ri!y refrain from the waste, it will be necessary to
pss an ordinance stopping the supply of water to
all steam vessels; to interdict the use of street
washers for two or three months, and to close all
phblic and private fountains, and to compel the
street sprinklers to obtain their supply from the
Rivers."
)11r Tan TnauAarzPzc GRANTS.--The Louisville
Times has an article on this subject, in which the
leillowing facts, the editor says, have never been
!lade public:
It will be remembered that Commodore Porter,
of our navy, engaged in the service of Mexico du
ring her revolution against Spain, and continued in
her navy until the close of the struggle. Alter the
war waa closed, Mexico offered him a grant of land
as the reward for his valuable services, and gave
him the selection of it. He selected the region ly
ing about the Gulf-side terminus of the present pro-
Posed Tehuantepec route, which his sagacity, even
tit that early day, taught him would be inevitably
demanded by the commerce of the world. Corn.
Porter possessed himselfof, and preserved, deposi.
led in an iron box, well secured, the evidences of
this grant, and at his death bequeathed them to his
ion, Lt. Porter, now of our navy. This box, a few
days after the death of Com. Porter in Washington
bity, was found to have been abstracted from the
Ware where he had always kept it, and has never
been recovered to this day. But there can be no
'doubt of the binding force of this grant, and its pri
ority to all other grants of the same ground. We
ill presume that the evidences of it are in existence
' 'among the archives of the Mexican Government,
and we have reason to believe that Col. Sloo, who
as been intimately associated with, and perhaps is
an authorized agent of Lieut. Porter, made this
grant the basis of his successful application to the
Mexican Government for the grant he which has
bbtained. If such a grant as that to Corn. Porter is
to be found among.the records of the Mexican Gov
ernment, and we have no doubt of its existence, it
of course flunkies all subsequent grants and takes
precedence, and our own Government, with the
proofs of it presented, would of course be compel
led to withdraw from insisting upon the Garay or
Hargous grant.
GEN. Planck rN MEXICO.—Ths editor of the
Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald, who was a soldier in
the Mexican war, thus speaks of Gen. Pierce:
"It was our lortune to become acquainted with
him personally during the Mexican war, when he
commanded one of the brigades of Pillow's
division of the army; and we have seen him par
ticipate in nearly every perilous battle field in the
valley of Mexico, and canspeak of him, knowingly,
as a brave and chivalrous soldier, and one of the
most gentlemanly officers of the army."
SAVANNAH, Aug. 3.—A disastrous conflagration
occurred here this afternoon, destroying seventy
houses, and involving a loss of from $75,000 to
$lOO,OOO. The flames swept every thing, from
Hubby street north to Margaret street, sout as far
as Laurel street and east to Canal street. The
houses were principally of wood, and thus the pro
gress of the fire was with difficulty arrested. One
hundred families are lett houseless.

just passed the U. S. House of Representatives ap
propriates to the Atlantic seaboard $528,000, to

ARRESTS 70EL MANBLAitGHTER. — The right
no course
I L
has been commenced ring the gnilty perpetra
tors of the Henry Clay urder to Justice, and we
hope it will be persisted in. Warrants have been
issued at New York by he United States Marshal .
against Thomas Collierone of the owners of the
Henry Clay, and on bo of her at the time of the
calamity, Capt. TalmanJohn Germaine; engineer,
James L. Jessup, clerk, and Edward Hubbard, pilot,
on a charge of Manslaughter, in causing the death,
of Stephen Allen, A. J. Downing, Mrs. Maria Bai
ley, Miss Maria Bailey, Mary Ann Robinson, Eliz
abeth Hil man, Matilda Wadsworth, J. J. Speed, and
many others. Mr. Collier gave bail in the sum of
$lO,OOO to answer the charge. Mr. Radford, an
other owner, (said to be wealthy,) became his bail.
The arrest was made under the act of Congress of
July, 1838, which provides that if by the miscon
duct of the captain, piloq or other persons employ
' ad on board, in their respective duties, the life or
lives of any person or persons shall be destroyed,
said captain or others rail be deemed guilty of
manslaughter, the trial to be before any Circuit
Court of the U. S., and punished by imprisonment
at hard labor for a period of not more than 10 years.
The arrest of Mr. Collier; was based on the idea that
being an owner of the yessel, and on board at the
time, he came under the denomination of persons
employed on board. M'. Radford was not on board
at the time. The same amount of bail will be re
quired for, the captain acd other officers against
whom warrants .have teen issued, as has been re
quired in the case of Mr Coliier.—Sun.
A SUCCESSMA or 7ilrsitoirrunEs —A merchant
of this city, a few months ago, purchased a country
residence. :some seven miles irom the city, and re
moved throve with his family to spend the summer.
His family consisted .of imself, wife and three chil
dren.rt About the seco d week after their arrival,
the youngest child was taken sick and died; the next
week the second child died, and the wife lay almost
at the point of death. The servant was sent to the
city for a physician, and while driving a valuable
horse, drove against a Imilk cart, the shells of the
latter piercing the side of the horse and killing him
instantly. On the serv a nt's return he was sent out
I
to the garden for str wherries when he fell and
broke his thigh, and i not expected to recover.—
The gentleman on th recovery of .s wife pur
chased a costly, and, she thought, a well broke
s
trotting horse, and on t e first trial, having his wife
and remaining child in a buggy with him, the horse
ran away, throwing ail out, severely injuring his
wife and child, and himself seriously. They all re
mained a few days at a farm house between the
place and their home, until they were sufficiently
convalesced th_
be removed thither, where they now
are. These mistortts, all happening in such
,
1 quick succession, are t uly remarkable. Every in
cident mentioned is strl cily true, and the gentleman
alluded to is well kno% n in the city, and a person.
DISEASE—Up
al acquaintance of ou.—Cin. Com. 21st ult.
THE PREVAILING to the present
time, some twelve or fourteen deaths have occurred
in this place from a disease that bears considerable
resemblance to the Asiatic Cholera, but which we
believe our physicians have not' yet agreed to call
by that dread name. I It is a matter of no great
consequence what name may be given to the dis
ease. The most important fact connected with it is
that it carries, off thosi whom it lays hold of in ear
nest, quite as speedily as they would be carried off
by the real Cholera. Perhaps some who have suf
fered have been to blame, in that they did not op
pose the disease, at it'f. first approach, the skill of a
physician and the power of medicines whose heal
ing virtues have been jested. We would earnestly
counsel all who have the slightest reason to believe
that the disease is aßout to take hold of them, to
apply to a physician and follow his advice to the
very letter. Many h ve "cures of their own" for
diarrhea and cramps;,,but as we would advise no
man to undertake tolcut off his own leg when its
amputation was remiired, neither will we advise
any one to rely upon 'this own cure" for relief from
a disease which has given convincing proof of its
power to destroy humitn life.—Chambersburg Spirit.
THE WHEAT HARVIST.—The wheat harvest in
the Southern and Middle States is now over, and
from nearly all quarte i rs accounts concur in repre
senting an abundant yield. In the sections of the
country where the cop has been garnered, says
the New York Express, the grain is reported at
being of an excellent quality, and as more When
was sown in the United States last year than ever
before known, the conclusion is inevitable that the
crop is the largest on ever harvested. These facts
naturally induce the lielief that in the absence of
any extraordinary, idreign demand, the prices of
Wheat and Flour wilt rule very low for the next
year.
