• Cat:ca.—The Washington Union in alluding to
the events in China, says if the ports of that coun
try were thrown open to the world. no other nation
could compete with the United States for the corn
merce of the Chinese Empire, and it regards the
present moment as auspicious for the overthrow of
that system of exclusion, which has so long shut
out of their ports all foreign nations, It says : •
" A territory of more than five millions of square
miles, four thousand walled cities, a-population of
three hundred millions, an army of nearly two mil
lions of soldiers, a fleet of a thousand sails, and an
annual revenue of two millions of dollars, are some
of the evidences of its immeasurable wealth.—
Among the productions of its soil, every acre of
which is is the highest state of cultivation, areseen
nearly all the richest offerings of the vegetable and
mineral kingdork Its manufactures, especially of
porcelain and silk, are unsurpassed by any nation.
What incalculable benefit would the United States
reap from an unrestricted commerce with an em.
plre so teeming in wealth . 1 . What a market (or
the product of American skill and industry might
be found among the redundant population of China!
The surplus production of our agricultural labor
would be espeCially acceptable to a people who.
reap a scanty and precarious subsistence from an
overcrowded soil.
Gaear Consm.kowatosi.—The Bytown, (Cana
da) Advocate 01 last week, gives the following ac
couni of a destructive fire in the neighborhood of
Portage du Fort, and which extended to the dis
tance of eighteen miles :
"We have just been informed informed by a gen
tleman who arrived from Portage du Fort last
night, that a tremendous fire took place in the
township of Westmeath on Monday. The fire ori
ginated near Beech's post office, and urged forward
by the northwest wind, it extended for a distance
of eighteen miles down the river, burning fences.
and blocking up the roads with fallen trees, and
doing otherwise a vast amount of damage. We
regret to learn that a great number of houses have
been destroyed around Portage du Fort, with
Gould's wharf, the new ivbarf at Bolton's, Bolton's
house, and every article of furniture it contained,
and a number of new government bridges.
Ourinlormant, who was travelling by land, states
that such was the extent and fury of the flames that
lie was obliged to take refuge in the centre of a
small clearance, where be had to remain from
• o'clock in the morning till 5 in the evening, before
he could venture for Ward with safety. it ; is easy
now to account for the dense smoke with which
tee towel was filled on Monday night: From the
account given us, we fear-that a terrible amount of
damage has been done.
Portage du Fort is on the river Ottawa, sixty
miles north of Bytown, and contains about 500 in
habitants. between Westmeath and Portage du
Fort the population is thinly scattered and the set
t lements are chiefly on the river.

ANECDOTE OF SECDF.TARY Mency.—The hard
pressure for appointments to office under the new
administration, at Washington, gives rise to some
amusing incidents. The following is told us of the
Secretary of State:
0 Among the host of besiegers in the pursuit of
place was a woman who was extremely•anxious
that her husband should be made postmaster, in
some country village. She was most persevering
in her solicitations, in season and out of season.—
She stood at the Secretary's door when he came nut
of his room in the morning; she intercepted him
on his way to his meals; she followed him to his
lodgings at night. On one occasion she remained
there unusually late; the Governor listened to her
as long as he could, when he requested her to ex
cuse him, but she lingered. At length every gen
tleman but one had gone, and the Secretary took
off his shoes. Still she stood her g round , quite un
moved. Growing desperate the Secretary finally
rose from his scat, and proceeded, to strip off his
coat; then, turning to the woman, he exclaimed:
"Madam, I am going to bed; and if you don't with
draw, I shall write to Mrs. Marcy about- you:"—
The lady immediately retired—from the room.
LAST MOMENTS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT.—The
Southern Republic has received from Mr. F. K.
Beck—a kins Man of the Vice Presidenta brief ac
count of the last moments of Mr. King. It says—
" He was quiet and resigned to the fate which he
had seen for some time awaited him. Shortly be
fore six o'clock on Monday evening, while a few
friends were sitting around his bedside, the only
ones he would allow to his sick room, he suddenly
remarked that he was dying. The watchers arose
to their feet in some excitement, when the c6lonel
said—' Be still—make no noise—let me die quietly.'
He refused to have the balance of his household
notified of his dying condition. His physician came
in and examined him. The Col. said to him--
' Doctor, I'm dying.--It seems as though I shall
never get through with it. lam dying very hard
Take the pillows from under my head ! The pil
lows were accordingly taken from under his head.
but affording him no relief, the doctor turned him
from his back to his side, when he died. in a mo
ment.
Caisson IN Ten SHIPMENT OP PRODUCE.—The
St. Louis papers state that it is difficult to obtain
a New Orleans cargo there. Prices are down to
the very lowest figure. The river is in fiQe condi
tion, but boats are frequently compelled to go less
than half freighted. The leading staples of the
country, such as tobacco, hemp, lard, corn, whis
key, provisions, and many other articles of grain
and produce, are being shipped to the Ohio river,
or eastward by way of Chicago and the railroad
routes, and thus it is that the business of St. Louis
is taking new and almost unthought of channels.—
Tobacco, herrip, lead, and provisions by the hun
dred and thousands of tons, and grain by the boat
load has been sent to the Lakes and the Ohio river,
which, by the previous course of trade usually went
down the Mississippi to New Orleans. This speaks
for railroads and other inland communication, but
it augurs no good to the commercial and business
prospects of the Southern metropolis. The ascen
dency of New Orleans over the trade of the West,
in the shipping and forwarding business, is being
diverted to other channels.
DATIGHTER MURDERED HT HER FATHER. -
The Memphis Whig reports a most revolting mur
der, as having occurred at Hernando, Miss. A man
named Robinson, a dissipated and profligate fellow,
sold a,negro of his daughter's, who, when the pur
chaser came to take the property away, refused to
giVe the negro up. In a fit of anger her father took
his gun and tired at her, lodging the contents in her
body, inflicting a mortal wound. The girl lived in
great bodily pain and suffered until the next morn
ing, when she was relieved from her misery by_the
hand of death. The murdering fiend fled, and had
not since been heard from, although the officers of
justice were in hot pursuit.
PREVENTION OF FEVER AND'AGUE.—The
Oxygenated Bitters give a healthy tone to the stom
ach and digestive system, and act as the surest pre
setvative against Fever and Ague, as well as other
infectious diseases, by using a small dose of one or
two teaspoonfuls every day, the system is foitified

these Bitters, would presume to travel without them-

' DEATHS.
In this city, on Tuesday last. Hon. WILLIAM
.TENKINS, in the 74th year of his age. Mr. J. for
a number of years held the office of Recorder of the
city, and in his day was one of the ablest and most
distinguished lawyers at the Lancaster Bar. For the
last four or five years he lived in retirement. He
was universally respected in this community, and
leaves not a single enemy behind him. Requiescat
in pace.
Wir.a.rem. SENKINS, Esq., was for upwards of
forty years a practising member of the Lancaster
Bar, and among many prominent men he stood in
the foremost rank. He was a man of quick parts
and sound judgment, and he was more than this—
he was truly "a man without , mile," one in whom
was united the greatest simplicity of character,
with fine mental capacity, perfect amiability of
temper, and unbounded kindness of heart.
It pleased God during the latter years of his life
to deprive him in a great measure of the use of his
limbs, and although a man of most active temper. ,
ament and habit, he has never been known to mur
mer at the infliction but has passed many years re
ceiving from and shedding forth happiness and
pleasure to all around him. He " fell asleep " at
the age of seventy four—a gentleman in every sense
of the word, God's noblest worka good and up
right man. •
The Inland Daily has the following short bio
graphical sketch of Mr. Jenkins:—This gentleman
the oldest member of the Lancaster Bar, died at his
residence in Duke street, in this city, on Tuesday
afternoon last, after a protracted illness, in the 74th
year of his age. He was horn at Windsor, Caernar
von township, this county, on the 7th of July, 1779
He graduated at Princeton College, in 1797—studied
law with James Hopkins, Esq., in this city, and
was admitted to the Bar on the 10th of Ahgust,
1801. lu the Winter of 1817-18, under the admin
istration of Gov. Findlay, he was appointed Prose
cuting Attorney for this county, which office he
filled for 23 years with marked ability'and fidelity.
In 1845, he was appointed by Gov. Shunk, 'Recor
der of the Mdyor's Court', the duties of which office
he discharged until the abolition of the Court by
Legislative enactment, in 1849. Since that period
he has appeared but little in public, having been
disabled by disease.
Mr. Jenkins was engaged actively in the duties
of his profession for a period of 40 years, and du
ring much of that time was acknowledged to stand
at the head of the Bar, He was a lawyer of exten
sive reading, ready application, and sound judgment
and an advocate of great power and address. He
has left behind him a reputation, personal and pro•
fesssional, to which his friends can always turn
with the highest satisfaction.

arranged like those of the year. Fn the spring of
youth, when all is lovely and gay, - then as the
green cover is spread on all the face of smiling na

take or the season. Fine taste, as well as fashion,
decrees the necessity or nicely adapted garments
to age, circumstances and seasons. • The limn
whose head is silvered with age, who feels not the
blood of youth dancing warmly in his veins, should
not run into extremes of dress, nor yet should he
permit his clothing to be so far behind the times as
to render him ridiculous. There is a becoming
fashionable dress, suitable for the age and seasons
of life as well as the seasons of the year. You can
be suited in handsome style in clothing that is well
and fashionably made, of good materials that will
fit well and become the figure and season, at the

OO all the numerous medicines extant, (and

which could compare in its effects with this prep.

and in all diseases of the lungs and throat where
medicine can giva relief, this will do it. It is

SUNBURY, Jan. 24th, 1861.
Dr. Ayer :—ln the month of July last I was at
tacked by a violent diarrhcea in the mines of Cali
fornia. I ret , rned to San Francisco in hope of ro
ceiving benefit from a change of climate and diet.
My, diarrma ceased, but was followed by a severe
cough—and more soreness. I finally started for
home, but received no benefit from the voyage.—
My cough continued to grow worse, and when I
arrived in New York,'l was at once marked by my
acquaintances as a victim of consumption. I must
confess that I say: , no sufficient reason' to doubt
what my friends all believed. At this time I com
menced taking your truly invaluable medicine with
little expectation of deriving any benefit from its
use. You would not, receive these lines did I not
regard it my duty to state'to the afflicted, through
you, that my health, in the space of eight months,
is fully restored. I attribute it to the use of your
Cherry Pectoral. . Yours truly,
WILLIAM W. SMITH.
BTON , Pa., April 12, 1848.
Dear sir Feeling tact I have been spared from
premature grave through your instrumentality by
the providence olGod, I will take the liberty to
express to you my gratitude.
A cough of the alarming symptoms of Consump
tion had reduced me too low to leave me anything
, like hope, when my physician brought me a bottle
of your "Pectoral." It seemed to afford immedi
ate relief, and now in a few weeks time has resto
red me to sound health. If it will do for others
what it has done for me, you are certainly one o
the benefactors of mankind. . _
