BAKER, Ek, the able Superintendent of the Columbia and Philadelphia Railrfiad, but at too late an hour to m:ke any extracts We shall do so in our next Tan RAcasn P4rtata Cies.— This case was brought to a close quite summarily in Baltimore on Wednesday, by the claimants. The evidence on the part of the petitioner having been so uniform arid complete, and the number of witnesses putting at defiance the slightest suspicion of collusion, the counsel for Mr. Schoolfield, at his instance, aban tinned the claim. The Sun says, that the investigation was marked throughout by the utmost courtsey, and 'all the amenities of the profession. The gentlemen up yt,loitited by the State of Pennsylvania to attend to the case have won the unbounded respect of all rho have witnessed the manner in which they have borne themselves. 137 F. A. MUHLXNBERO, A.

Professor M. is a gentleman and a scholar, and will till the sta llion with marked ability. 7 The Canal Commissioners have reduced the Tare on the Columbia Railroad, on all the lines, to 24 cents per mile. The Central Railroad Compa ny have also done the same wise act. On the Har_ risburg and Lancaster Railroad the fare is still kept up,to 3 cents per mile. We have as yet seen nothing in the Legisla_ tive proceedings particularly worthy of note. The Standing Committees have not had time to block out business of pOblic and general importance, and until that is done very little' of interest to our read. ers will take place. fclT A man named JOSEPH Firm, was murdered in his store, at 222 Chesnut Street, Philadelphia, on Wednesday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock. Who committed ;he murder is not known. The Mayor of Philadelphia has offered a reward of POO for his apprehensiod. Col. WILLIAM HOPKINS, the new Canal Commissioner, took his place in the Board on Tuesday last, in the room of Mr. Gamble, whose term has expired. The Board has been re-organ ized by the appointment of Wee. T. Monrsols, Esq., President, and Tnouss L. WILSON, Esq., Secretary. Er Gen. Join , M. Bicitzt, has. been re-elected State Treasurer, by the Legislature. He has filled the office for the last three years with distinguish ed ability, and his reelection for another term is a compliment well deserved. MICESIGAW U. S. Secovroa.—The Hon. Charles E.

This disorganizing sheet at one time had the merit of being conducted with ability, if it had nothing else to recommend it to public favor; but since the death of Mr. McFarland and the with drawal of Mr. Diffenbach, it has sunk into a harm less, old-maidish, imbecile concern, which contains but little to excite either praise or censure. Now Ml=l=gi tion of some mammoth cabbage head, a dissertation on the most effectual way of curing cows of the hollow horn, or a recipe for destroying the fly in grain, and the grub-worm in corn. These, to be sure, are doubtless interesting in their way to cet. tain antiquated readers of both sexes; but it is not the kind of mental aliment that should be furnish ed by a journal published at the seat of the State Government, and the organ, par excellence, of the great Michigan statesman. For the last two or three months, the only thing calculated to attract attention in the Keystone is the low, contemptible and infamous attacks of its Washington correspondent upon Mr. Bucturca.ii.— The Swiss mercenary who figures over the signa ture of " Rittenhouse," is doubtless well paid for these repeated and continuous assaults ; but wheth. er he receives his reward bf infamy from the own• er and master of the Keystone, who resides in Dau phin county, or from a higher source in Washing ton, or from both, is matter of conjecture. Be that as it may—one thing is certain that the guer• ills band who own, write for, and control the Key stone, at the present time, are as deficient in talent as they are destitute of common decency, and the nominal editor is a suitable instrument in their hands to disseminate their filthy abuse throughout the Commonwealth. But why this continued abuse of Mr. BUCHANAN? He is now, and has been for nearly four years, a private citizen. He crosses the path of no man. If he be politically defunct, as his enemies pretend -to believe, why do they seek to galvanize him into a living, moving, acting statesman? Why kick at the dead lion? 'Do say the least of it, this is un_ accountably strange conduct for men who pretend to the least degree of common sense. If they wish him to remain dead, which of course they do, why brea the into him the breath of lite? The truth is that " slander always loves a shining mark?" But his enemies show in all this a strange inconsistency. It is the most short-sighted policy we have ever known, and verifies the truth of the old adage, that " whom the Gods will to destroy they first make •mad." Time will show that the guerillas of Pennsyl vania and their puny and miserably weak organ have been assisting to bring about the very state of things which they have been laboring to prevent. The name and fame of JAItIES BUCHANAN is dear to the American people, and will be held in veneration long after his enemies are forgotten. His services and the eminent abilities he displayed as member of Congress, Minister to Russia, in the Senate of the United States, and as Secretary of State during the eventful and brilliant administration of Presi dent Ponx., have given him a world-wide reputa tion, and he now stands confessedly second to no man in the Union in every thing that constitutes the able and accomplished statesman. The Central American Treaty. Mr. Clayton, in answer to the attack on him in the Uuited States Senate, a few days ago, sends to the National Intelligencer a copy of Hon. Wm. R, King's letter, in the original correspondence to Mr. C., in relation to the British Treaty, showing that the treaty did not include British Honduras. Mr. Clayton to Mr. King. JULY 4, 1850. DEAR SIR am this morning writing to Sir H. L. Bulwer, and while about to decline altering the Treaty at the time.ot exchanging ratifications, I wish to leave no room for a charg e of duplicity against our Government, such as th at we now pre tend that Central America in the treaty includes British Honduras. I shall therefore say to him, in effect, that such construction was not in contemplation of the nego tiators or the Senate at the time of confirmation.— May I have your permission to add that the true understandinv . was explained by you as Chairman of Foreign R elations,' to the Senate, before the vote was taken on the treaty 1 I think it due to frank ness on our part. Very truly yours, J. M. CLAYTON. To Hon. Wm. R. King, U. S. Senate. Mr. King to Mr. Clayton. JULY 4, 1850. MY DEAR SIR: The Senate perfectly understood that the Treaty did not include British Honduras. Frankness becomes our Government; but you should be careful not to use any expression which would seem to recogni e the right of England to any portion of Honduras. Faithfully your ob't serv't, W. R. KING. To Hon. John M. Clayton, Secretary of State. THE CL•TTON AND BULVTED National Intelligencer of Tuesday, we find a state ment from the Hon. John Bragg, M. C., which says Col. King's language to Mr. Cass was based upon a supposed statement of facts, very different from the facts as they actually exist. After the negotiation and ratification of the Treaty by the Senate it was sent to England, and returned with a proposition that it should be considered as ratified on the part of the British Government provided a condition should be annexed to it recognising title and jurisdiction in that Government over a certain portion of Honduras. Col. King never saw the proposed provision in writing, but understood it was insisted on by Lord Palmerston. He very promptly told both Mr. Clayton and Sir Henry Bul wer that with such a condition the Treaty could not get a vote in the Senate. Mr. Clayton after wards informed him that the provision had been abandoned, and he considered the Treaty ratified by the British Government precisely as it had beep ratified by the Senate. When Gen. Cass called on Col. King for his recollections upon the subject, the latter supposed that the Documents furnished by the State Department showed that Lord Palmer ston's demand had been yeilded to in all its extent instead of abandoned, as he had been told by Mr. Clayton. Upon this supposition he did say what Gen. Cam represents him to have said in his state ment. In reference to British Honduras, Col. King .was well aware, that Great Britian has long had certain privileges there, and from these he did not suppose, nor until very recently did he imagine that any body supposed, she was summarily ousted by the Bulwer and Clayton Treaty. Tan 'NON BUSINESS. e have just been look ing over a long list of Sheriff's Sales in the Clarion Democrat, and, strange as it may seem, among all the property to come under the hammer, there is not a single Furnace This would be almost in explicable, if we were on the eve of an election.— It will be remembered that a few short months ago the Sheriff of that county, according to Whig authority, was knocking down the furnaces by the score, and spreading ruin and desolation through out the land—all owing to the rascally tariff of 1846! But a most singular change has occurred, and all within such an incredible short space of time as to give it almost the appearance of magic. The election is over, the price of iron has advanced, and the wail for protection to American industry is no longer heard. The Sheriff can no longer get iron master into his clutches—he laughs at and de fies him—he is coining his gold as if he was lord and proprietor of a mint, but (the truth must out) the wages paid his laborers now, when iron is worth $45 per ton, is not a dime more per week than it was when it commanded only $2O per month ! Who were the crocodile tears shed for when iron was low?—the iron master or the laborer Oh ! rare Wbig consistency!—Hollidaysburg Standard. Er We learn from the message of the Governor of Maryland, that the finances of that State are in a prosperous condition—the surplus revenue of the• year being $548,000, after the deduction of $677,- 000 for current interest on the Public Debt. The revenue of the State for the coming year is estima: ted at $1,500,000, with reduced expenditure under the biennial system. The Governor urges the abolition of stamp and other indirect taxes. Free Banking• The Public Ledger says:—" We hear it intimat ed that another effort will be made, at the recent session of our Legislature, for a law authorizing the establishment of free banks—or, more proper- ly speaking, the privilege to make debt a capital for banking. We are not much in favor of any system of banking; we believe that all banking may be abused, however well guarded, and know that free bauks have practiced more flagrant injus tic on the public than banks under any other sys tem. It is a system, too, without any check- upon its • possible excess. As it exists in other States, there is absolutely no limit to it but the insuffi ciency of the basis stocks. The consequence is, when too many of them are in operation, there is a fierce competition for the emission and diffusion of their papery injurious to the best interests of the State, though the security for its payment may not be directly diminished. It is nevertheless, impair ed in the end in this way. The great multiplica tion of bank paper absorbs the pudic securities for its basis, and at the same time by the edition of its amount to our mixed currenc) , cheapens specie and drives it out of use, perhaps out of the coun try. The country is stimulated into a morbid ac tivity, and business is overdone. By and by, a de mand for the metals which this paper only repre sents, springs up. Now, it is well known that, should such a requisition be made on all the banks at once, there are few, indeed, that issue bills that could promptly meet it. There is not specie enough in the country, within reach, to enable them to do so. Should a plethora occur, then the excess will be returned an the banks which issued them, and the larger the number of these institutions, the more numerous the probable failures to respond to the respond to the request for specie. And it is no answer to say that the note holders are protected from less by the ultimate sale of the pledged secu rities, because four-fiitths of the holders are quite unable to wait the sale and winding up of concern. They have to submit to whatever shave may be imposed. In times like those which occurred twelve or fifteen Years ago, these institutions would be driven to extremity, and sales of immense amounts of State and other securities would be made to redeem the circulation. Of course, how ever, good and certain to be paid, they all might be at maturity, jhese would be depreciated greatly below par, and the holders of the notes to the end would have to sustain the loss. We are quite sure that no such law can be obtained in Pennsylvania while the present Executive is at the head of affairs and for the stability of the currency, hope no at tempt to worry it through may be rLade. In IS3S, '4O, as all may know, the Pennsylvanla loans would command in the market only one third of their face value, and those of New York were some twenty per cent below par. Even the United States could not procure a loan but at a considerable dis count. This evidence of debt, therefore, it strikes us, is no reliable material as a base for banking, while the system is seen to be, in practice, more ,able to abuse than any other.

H., in a letter o the N. Y. Herald, gives a rather graphic descrip• ion of the personal appearance of Gen. Pierce, as follows : "I have had the pleasure of several little inter views with General Pierce. He is a man of mark, a man of education, a man of acomplishments in the ways of the world: a shrewd politician, and of broad and comprehens . ve views as a statesman. His face is expressive, and genial, and intelligent. He is affable and pleasing in his mariners, modest and unpresuming, yet cool and self-possessed in a :emarkable degree. He evidently feels that he has not yet been tried to the measure of his capacities; and, what is better, he has the power involuntarily of convincing you of the fact. He has an agreeable voice, speaks rapidly, freely, fluently, and correctly; Lint he keeqs his own counsels in all matters re quiring the exercise of a saving discretion. "In person he is about five teat nine inches high, straight and slenderly built He has not that breadth of shoulders, nor that depth of chest, in dicating the most vigorous constitution. His com plexion, to, is pale, and his face thin, excepting the extraordinary expansion of his lower jaw; but he is one of that wirey, active class of men, all muscle and nerve, and capable of all' sorts of hardships and endurance. Fremont, who has sustained the most incredible trials of starvation, and cold, and snow, in the depth of winter, among the inhospitable peaks and dreary defiles of the Rocky Mountains, and the Sierra Nevada, is one of the same sort— spare and delicate, but elastic and muscular, and tough, and hardy as Kit Carson. James K. Polk, who could ride on horseback sixty miles a day, in the middle of July, and make three or four stump speeches of a quarter of an hour each, was of the same spare construction. So was Marion ; so was Napoleon in his prime; so was Wellington ; so was Horatio Nelson; so was Jefferson; so was Old Hickory, and so was Harry Clay. General Pierce has precedents in the greatest abundance to make a merit of being neither a Falstaff nor a Hercules ILLUSTRATED NEws.—We have received the third and fourth numbers of this excellent pictorial sheet, and cannot help noticing the very great im provement already manifest. Although the first or specimen number was good, yet in matter, ty pographical appearance and embellishment the is sues now before us far exceed it. The word fail is not known in Barnum's vocabulary, and we have no doubt that in a short time he will equal, if he does not excel his contemporaries. The price of this excellent paper is only $3 per annum, or six cents per copy, which places it in the reach of almost every person. Pons OPERLTIONS.—At Louisville and New Al bony there were 284,747 head of hogs packed, down to Monday last, and there had yet to come in several droves, which will make the aggregate of this season's operations reach 294,247. This year then will exceed last year's business by 100,- 000 head. From Franklin, la., 23,300 heed were shipped, principally to Madison. At Springfield. 111., 22,- 000; at St. Louis, 35,000, and at Terra Haute, la, about 10,000 head were respectively killed and .packed. r The thermotnetor stood at 10 degrees above zero, in this city, on yesterday morning. TY AND COUNTY ITEMS VIEW OP Lsac►srsa.—We are indebted to the Examiner for the following excellent description of the drawing of the City recently taken by Mr. C. Parsons:— - - - We have before us a large and beautifully fin ished picture of Lancaster city, drawn from na ture, and on stone, by C. Parsons, published by J. T. Palmatary, and printed in tints, giving it a rich and life-like appearance. The view is IS by 34 inches, taken from the south west portion of the city, and exhibits every portion from Woodward's Cemetery to the extreme boundary, a frontage nearly one mile in length—the churches, the pub lic buildings, and the hills beyond the city, every thing ; are faithfully depicted—presenting at one view, a panorama of the most pleasing description. No one can look upon this picture without reali zing that Lancaster is indeed a beautiful city. The artist has done his work well. All of the general featu'res of Lancaster city are preserved with great truth. A picture like this of Mr. PalmatarY's should of course be in the possession of every cit izen of this place, and there is hardly a more ap propriate ornament fur the walls of dwellings than such a neatly framed " View of Lancaster city." For sale at Spangler's and Murray & Stoek's Book Stores. , It can also be obtained of Francis H. Carpenter and J. Franklin Reigart,Esq'rs. 117' The Lancaster County Conference of the Pennsylvania Lutheran Synod will meet at Mount Joy, on Friday evening, the 4th proximo. rf3 The Rev. Mr. Noble, late Pastor of the 2d Presbyterian Church, of this city, has accepted a call from the Presbyterian congregation of Bel Air, Maryland. EPHRATA TOWNSHIP Ana/D.—Mr. Jacob Wen ger, Innkeeper, of New Berlin, Ephrata township, this county, on the 30th ult., slaughtered a bog; fed by him, which, after beir g dressed, weighed 991 pounds. MARIETTA AND MOUNT JOY TURNPIKE.-- Books for subscription to this stock will be opened on the ith of next month, at the hotels of Samuel Miller, in Marietta, and Henry Schaffner, in Mount Joy Borough. BURGLARY.—On the night of the 3d inst , the dwelling of James M. Hopkins, Esq., at Eonowin go Furnace, was entered, and a number of articles stolen. A reward of $lOO is offered by Mr. H. for the detection of the thieves. 12L7 Mrs. BA..xxn, lady of Geo. W. Baker, Esq Recorder of San Francisco, and formerly of this City, sails from New York, on Thursday next, to 'sin her her husband in California. Henn To BEAT.—The lady of Mr. Jacob Boas, a worthy Democrat of the glorious North-West Ward of this City, gave birth last week to three children—one girl and two boys ! The girl died a few hours after its birth; but both the boys are " alive and kicking." They onght to be named PIERCE and Krim NUMBERING Housas.-The attention of our City friends is invited to the card of Mr. Jeffers, in another column. The numbering of the houses would be a most desirable improvement, and we hope property holders generally will embrace the present opportunity to have the matter attended to. FIRE.--On Tuesday evening last, about 6 o'clock, a frame stable, belonging to Mr. Schneider, a Ger man, situate in an alley, between West Orange and West King streets, in this city, was consumed by fire. Report says, that it was set on fire by a boy, as he was seen running from the premises when the fire broke out. Tits Ges Cost PANY—Offer Accepted.--We learn that a meeting of the Directors of the Lancaster Gas Company, the proposition of "Gas Burner," published in the Examiner of last week, was ac. cepted, and that the gentlemen holding the major. ity of stock are anxious for the public interest that arrangements for the transfer be entered into as soon as practicable. $1,982 99 803 38 214 80 240 00 11620 73 99 344 25 34 12 23 76 COLUMBIA WaTy.n.

We learn farther that several persons were also arrested in the neigh. borhood of the Gap, in this County, the same day on a similar charge. They were all taken to Fhtl adelphia to stand a trial before the Circuit Court of the U. States. A portion of the Marshal's force proceeded to Harrisburg, on the hunt of others be longing to the gang. r Mr. JONATHAN Donwxxx, residing in this City, is the Agent for the sale of " TEIE ODD FEL LOWS' MANUAL," a highly interesting volume of nearly 400 pages, handsomely bound and furnished at $2 per copy.

To the Board of Directors of the Common Schools' of the City of Lancaster: GENTLEDIEN—Intending noon to leave the City of Lancaster, I herewith tender my resignation as a member of your Board. I have been connected with it for a long time, and have been treated by you with uniform courtesy and kindness. I re turn my heartfelt thanks for your kindness, and as sure you that .he recollection of it will be °source of satisfaction and delight to me as long as I live. In parting from you, with whom I have been so long engaged in promoting the cause of Education, permit me to express my best wishes for your present and everlasting happiness. May God abundantly bless you, and grant that you may succeed in rendering the School under your control as efficient as I know you desire them to be. . . With feelings of sincere respect and affectionate regard. I am Gentlemen, your friend, JOHN C. BAKER. Lan. Jan. 6. 1803. . The following Resolutions were then offervd and unanimously agreed too, viz : Resolved, That the Board of Directors of the Common Schools of the City of Lancaster, accept with unfeinged regret the resignation of the Rev. John C. Baker, D. D. Resolved, That Dr. Baker's uniform kindness, punctuality, faithfulness, and ability, in the dis charge of his duties as a Director, and more espe cially as Chairman of the Superintending Commit tee since 1890, furnishes a model for every member of the Board ; and that his withdraw al creates a vacancy which it will be difficult fully to supply. Resolved, That this loss will be even greater to the youth of the City, than to this Board, for they will be deprived of that regular visitation, paternal encouragement in well doing and mild but firm re buke to ill conduct, which have been so long and so faithfully administered, and probably turned many a straying step into the paths of rectitude. Resolved, That the Board cordially appreciate Dr. Baker's kind christian wishes for their welfare, and most sincerely hope that the remainder of his days may be as happy elsewere as they have been useful and honorable here. Resolved, That as a permanent testimonial of the feelings of this Board, these Resolutions shall.be ehtered at length on'the minutes, and that a duly certified. copy of them shall be prepared by the Secretary and presented to Dr. Baker by the Pres ident in person. Resolved, That the letter of Resignation and the Resolutions passed this evening be published in; he papers of this:city. i Extract from the Minutes of January 13, 1853. J. ZIMMB.RMANJ Opening of the Leb'n and Cornwall Plank Road. • On'TtiesdaY, the CoMmissioners and other offi cers of this road, with several invited gentlemen, passed over it preparatory to establish the gates for the collection of tolls. The one track of the road is now completed, and in accompanying the party, we found it to afford,a most admirable means or communication between this &trough and its ter mination.' The length of the road, we believe, is about five miles; extending from the Canal, at North Lebanon, to Cornwall, thus connecting two very important points, to the prosperity of Lebanon • county. The first ground, in its commencement, e think, was broken the 15th' of July, it thus be ing completed, under various 'difficulties, in less than six months, showing a highly commendable energy on the part of those in whose hands it was entrusted. This road, as far as completed, is but the com mencement of what is expected to be a connexion • with the Lancaster and .Manheim road at Manheim. which will afflud us a very decent communication with the first named place, anti with Railroad, (if we are to have no Railroad of'our own, of which, however, we do not now despair,) which will.give our farmers, in the winter season, a better means of getting their produce to market than they now enjoy. For this improvement, of Which we now have the advantage, we will be able to appreciate its ben efits in theway of convenience in travel, and the in creasing prosperity it will bring to our borough, we are cbiefiy indebted to the enterprise, liberality and discernment of the Piesident of the road. Mr. C. B. Grubb, aided by some of our 'enterprising citizens, and assisted and advised by H. B. Swatr, Esq., of Lancaster. These gentlemen• have the honor of in troducing what we take to be a new era in Leba non county, for we be•ieve this but the beginning of what is to follow. We expect it to have such an influence upon our people in relation to improve ments and enterprises for the" proper development of our dormant abilities, as will awaken a new life and develope a prosperity which is now but little dreamed off. Improvements, like many other things carry with them a kind of contagion, which is nat urally and rationally increased, when great advan tages are seen to attend therm. Every improvement of this sort will demonstrate' with a practical and irresistible force the advant4res that are derived from public improvements Which open out and de velope the recources of the country, and we cannot but think that whm our people shall bare seen this small work. of which we are speaking,in ope ration, they will be desirous;of enterina• ' upon others of more magnitude, and that a railtoad from this pkce , 0 Reading will be one of the consequences . The day was wound up by the cheer of one of Reinhard's best suppers, which was partaken of by a number of gentlemen who felt that the occasion was one worthy of a free gathering around the fes lire board. The head of the Board was presided over by the President of the Lancaster and Man heim road, Mr. Sheaffer, of Manheim., The eve. sing was very pleasantly spent in partaking of the good things provided, in conversation, offering of sentiments, speeches, &c., While the bon 1710 ES of our neighbor Weidle and others would often set the table in a roar.--Courier. The Veirdict The "V hig Central CoMmittee" of New York, have been holding, it seein,l, a coroners inquest over the defeat and death of - hi! late Whig party. A'l the evidence that could be elicited by a thorough post martens investigation, Tor the last two months, has been made 'available land the Committee find, by the following, that the disorder, although a chronic one, existing for ha long series of years," hastened the victim to an untimely end, by the set. ting in of the "military chieftain" fever, and the dis agreeing advice of 'eminent Whig doctors." We copy from the Tribune : ; "Mr. Nicholas Carroll Presented a lengthy repor from the Corresponding Committee, detailing a his tory of the recent Whig defeat—tracing the causes for a long series of years+and ascribing the saving of the Union to the effortg of Mr. Fillmore upon his accession to the Presideftcy by the death'of Mr. Taylor, and claiming that a different result would have been effected ‘;vith Mr. F. as a candidate.— This document reflected very severely on many em• inent Whigs, and took ground against military can didates. Mr. C's report Was after some discussion, adoPted, and ordered to be Published." The Tribune, which is one of the principal mour ners, wipes its eyes with , a Corner of its "old white coat," arid thus slobbere its sympathies over the "senseless clay:" The Whigs have been pierced, (we mean no pun) and must go to pieces, A routed army must or ganize anew, replenish with fresh recruits, and ap pear on a new field. Weakened by desertion, torn by feuds, demoralized by. faithless leaders who have betrayed it into the bands of the enemy—its bro ken squadrons in full flight—it is impossible it should be able to recover at once, and turn with the least prospect of success upon the overwhelming numbers of its flushed and triumphing antagonist." Mayoralty Mn. Encrort:—As the time is approaching for the Democracy of the city to meet in Convention to settle a candidate for' Mayor, to be supported at the ensuing election,thename o (REUBEN S. ROH RER is suggested by many of his friends, avid ii brought before the Conyention would receive the support of many Democrats of the N. W. WARD. The time is again approaching when it will be come our duty as citizens of this place, to nomi nate a candidate (or the office of slayor for the coming year. There can be no doubt but that the choice of a suitable person for that high and re sponsible position is of the utmost importance to every one. But from what party may it not be well asked, should that choice be made ? To this question there can be .bat one answer. We live in a Democratic City ;—we profess to love the faith 'of our forefathers, and while this is so, to select a Whig to rule over us, Would be doing neither more or less, than to acknoWledge that among so many, we could find none able to discharge the ditties of the office. No not one. This would be a slander upon the Democracy of our City—one which should not for one moment be tolerated. But who, it may be asked, should receive the nomination ? Among the number! of names presented, we find the name of Redpss S. ROEMER. Is be not fit for the Office? He has lived in our midst from his youth ; he has stuck with unflinch ing integrity to the Democratic faith -has filled at various times offices Conferred upon him by his fellow citizens, and - in every respect he was as well qualified to discharge the duties as any incum bent thus far elected. Why then not nominate and elect him? To cast him aside and elect a - Whig would mit a stain updn our Old Democratic City which years of hard labor might not be sufficient to efface, A DEMOCRAT. Far the Intelligencer. Mn. SANDERSON :—Have we any Sign Painters in Lancaster? I am induced to ask this question by perceiving, the last Saturday's Express, an editorial notice and advertising card, informing the citizens of Lancaster, that a Mr. Jeffers will call on them in the course of a few days, for the purpose of offering his services to number their houses. 1, for one, believe that we have sign painters, perma-. nently located among us, who are fully competent, and willing and ready, to execute numbers tor houses, stores, &c., whenever the owners know what the regular number ought to be, and this can only be ascertained by a regular and uniform plan being adopted, either by our COuncils, Mayor, or a corn mittee appointed In/ the citizens themselves---and then when our citizens feally do know what num bers below" ' to their houses, I feel confident they will prefer having them HOME MADE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Senator Upham, of Vermont, died at his lodg ings at the Irving House, in this city, this morning about 11 o'clock. He had been sick for ten days past of varioloid, and at the time of his death, was attended by his wife, who arrived here a few days ago. The deceased] was aged 58. Early to-mor row morning the remains will be temporarily pla ced in a vault, in the Congressional Cemetery, from whence they will, in a day or two, be removed to Vermont. The customary announcement and eulogies'will be made to-morrow in both Houses of Congress, lollowed by adjournments, which will probably be all the business transacted to-morrow. In executive session, this afternoon, the Senate confirmed the rumination Silas H. Hodges as Com missioner of Patents. The Senate also had under consideration the nomination of Mr.U3adger for the Supreme Court, I and bad made some progress with the debate there on, when the death of Senator Upham was an nounced, and put a stop to the proceedings. The impression is gaining ground that this nomination will not be acted upon finally until after the 4th of March. Bonin!, Jan. 1. - l.—The funeral services of the son of Gen.

The cir cumstances of the case are peculiar for Dauphin county. It is alleged that Duff, who had been pay ing his addresses to Eliza, an honest girl living op posite Harrisburg, invited her one evening to accom pany him to town to attend church. While there he invited her to be married, and they went into the lecture room of the church, where, the girl says, the ceremony was•performed, as she supposed by the Rev. Mr. Urie. Mr. Urie knows nothing about it, nor has he any' such case on record. The parties went to a respectable boarding house, and have been living two or three months together.— Ori' Monday the parents of the girl sought her out, and took her home. • ENGLAND. — The new British Ministry has been lormed as follows Preinier—Earl Aberdeen.

THE NEW MOTIVE POWER.-A second trial trip was made in New York harbor by the new Caloric ship Ericsson, on Wednesday, and with the most astonishing and satisfactory result. The Tri bune, nays of the new invention, that " we are pre pared to say, without hesitation or reserve, and not merely on our own judgment, but on that of every gentleman in the company, that it proved utterly and beyond possibility of doubt the existence of a new motive power, as sure and efficient as steam, while it is free from all danger of accident, and is vastly cheaper and more manageable. The demon stration is perfect. The age of Steam is closed : .the age of Caloric opens. Fulton and Watt belong to the past : Ericsson is the great mechanical ge nius of the present and the future." Sow ra MisfxspTA.—At last dates, the snow out at St. Paul's, Minnesota, was on an aserage a foot deep. It is said to be a toot and a half deep in the woods. The Pioneer states that it is from two and a half to three feet deep in the Rum:River pinery, about 100 miles above St. Paul. Tag CALouic S l iir.—The success of the Eric son on - her trial trip at New York was complete.— The 13r;stun Transcript sums up a . few o: the advan tages which caloric has over steam thus :-1. The caloric engine burns about one-tenth as much fuel as a steam engine; hence a caloric ship of the largest size may circurnnovignie the globe without stopping to take in coal ; hence not a sail will be seen on the ocean in fifty years after the success of the new principle is certain; hence machinery will be applied to a thousand arts which now require manual labor:; hence the possibility of that long desired machine plough; aid hence the coming of that good time when arduous manual toil will ab solutely cease under the sun. 2. The cost of the caloric engine is about the same as the steam en gine, minus the cost of the boilers. 3. Only one fourth as many engine men will be required on board a caloric ship to ate iecesssary afor steamer. 4. No smoke whatever will issue from a caloric furnace when anthracite coal is used, and conse quently no huge, unsightly smoke pipe will be ne cessary, and the rigg,ng will be clean as that of a sailing ship. 5. There can be no bursting or col lapsing of boilers, for the simple reason that there will be no boilers; to burst. The worst accident that can happen to caloric engine is for it to spot; nor is watcntulness imperatively required, as in no case cede dangerous accident occur. 0. Owing to the 'extreme simplicity of the caloric engine, the wear and tear will be very slight, and the duration of the engine proportionably long. If but half these advantages are secured by the substitution of calo ric for steam in navigation, it is obvious that very important results nay be anticipated. It is not ex pected that the 'Ericson will equal the Collins steamers in speed ; but her success will prove that a higher degree of power may be attained it want ed. Owing to the' great difference of expense in navigating the caloric ship, passengers will he taken at greatly reduced rates. We congrtaulate Captain Ericson oa the happy issue of his grand experi ment. New York. 277 $10,159,059 00 $38,790,935 00 A HErimir BURNT our.—The Cecil Democrat rnishes the following item: ' " Andrew Job, the hermit, who has lived in the forest on the borders of Chester and Cecil counties for fifty years past, was burnt out an Saturday night week ; the old dilapidated Isuilding.in which he has so long resided, having been reduced to ashes. The fire originated in this wise: The old man, who is now about SO years of age, Was un well for the first time within fifteen or twenty years. Thinking to be more comfortable through the night, he made up a larger fire than usual, and took up his position sornewhat nearer to it. The sticks having burnt in two, fell over and scattered the fire, it is supposed, out over the floor. When the old man awoke, the house was on fire, and the fire had communicated to his clothes. The house was speedily reduced to ashes. He has since ta- ken up his residence with Mr. Daniel Job, his nets'r ew, of this county, .who resides a lew miles limn the Brick Meeting House. "The hermit is upwards of 80 years of age, of stout, muscular Ironic, and remarkable for his strength. His hair and beard descend to his .waist, and neither have felt the comb or razor tOr half a century. His flesh is rough and husky, and a stranger to the purification of water. His clothing consists of a blanket thrown over his so olders and tied round the waist, descending nearly to his feet. His feet in cold weather are wrapped in rags. is voice is hollow and sepulchral. He wove see. freely and chsertally with visitors, when thq\de port themselves respectfully, otherwise he has very little to say, and seems to shun those who regard him merely as an object of curiosity. His neigh bors send him many . of the necessaries of life, and he receives their lavors without manifesting any gratitude, or troubling himself to return thanks for their kindness. It is said, in the neighborhood,that the reason of his leading the lifi , of a rechise, was, that he was crossed in lose; since which time he has not beheld the face of a woman is ilk 'pleasure, ar.d even sent from him his own sister, who for merly shared his domicil with him. llis sister was older than himself; and lived to the advanced age of 92. She died a week or two ago. It in thought that the change in the old minfs manner of living will shorten his days, as he seemed much averse to society in his own home." - Book Notices .
