Office of the latel ll geneer, at
No. 21 South Queen street, nearly opposite
the Second Presbyterian Church.
Money Wanted.
We need money badly at the present time ; and
as we have a large amount standing on our bitolcs
for subscription, advertising and job worlre we
should be pleased to .see any number of our ria ,
trons step up, or down, as the case may be, to the
'Captain's office" and settle their accounts. Of
course this hint is not intended for those (and eve
have a goodly number of such) who are-always
prompt in paying the Printer.
THE GADSDEN TREATY. - A treaty, somewhat
'modified from the one which was rejected, has
passed the Senate; by the provisions of which we
get a strip of land (embracing the Mesilla valley,)
sixty miles in 17idth from Mexico, comprising about
28,009 square miles, which gives us the right of way
to build a railroad from the Rio Grand to the Pa
cific. We are also released from the claims arising
under the 11th article of the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, and that article is abrogated. Ti e amount
of these claims have been variously estimated at
from 4%1,000,000 to $10,000,000. We ale.• obtain
a recognition of the Sloo Tehuantegec route.
For all these advantages, our government is to
pay $10,000,000 to Santa Anna—that is, provided
be agrees to the treaty.
[l3' The nomination of TAmss C. VaisnrKE,Esq.,
as IL S. District Attorney for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania, was unanimously confirmed , by the
Senate, on Wednesday last. Col. Van D. is a gen
tleman' of fine attainments, an active, energetic
Democrat, and his unanimous confirmation is a
crimpliment alike flattering and well deserved. We
have no doubt he will make a capital officer.
Bleraut vs. Poraamc.—A history of the life and
public services of Judge Pollock, written by an
'intimate' friend of his in the western part of the
State, has been going the rounds of the Whig press
for the last three or tour weeks.
It seems that Mr. Pollock's father was a wealthy
farmer and merchant, residing at or close by Milton,
Northumberland county, Pa., and that his son
James received from him all the benefits of a full
collegiate course—that he afterwards read law and
was admitted to the bar. In the winter of 1848
he was elected to Congress to fill the vacancy oc
casioned by the death of Gen. Frick. The district
is now, and was then, strongly Democratic, and
yet he was elected. Mr. Pollock'slriend, however'
omits to state that both his predecessors were
Whigs. When this becomes known, his election is
not so wonderful after all.
How was it with William
,Bigler? Poor, and
obliged to toil for his bread almost from his infan•
ey, which is entitled to the most credit for the po
ition he holds as the nominee for the high office o f
Governor? The one surrounded from the beginning
by troops of wealthy and influential friends, ever
ready to encourage him in disappointmint and
sustain him in defeat—with all the advantages of
a liberal education; and the other compelled to
struggle alone, unsupported and unassisted except
by his own industry and perseverance.
Bigler has already served one term as GOvernor
of Pennsylvania. He has discharged his dutywith
ability rarely equalled and never excelled by any
of his predecessors. He is emphatically a sell-made
man—the reople are satisfied to continue him as
their Governor, and just as certain as the 2d Tues
day of October comes round, he will be elected to
till that high office for another term.
Mr JOHN M. Coorisn, Esq., late of the Pennsy/.
vanian, has resumed the editorial control of the
Valley Spirit, at Chambersbursz. Mr. C. is a racy
and spirited writer, and we wish him abundant
success on his return to his - 'native heath.' His
successor in the Pennsylvanian has not yet been
announced.
Mn. HIESTEU'S SPEECH.—The Washington Star
is loud in its praises of the speech delivered last
week in Congress, by the Hon. IsA.A.c E. HIEsTER,
from this district, against the Nebraska bill. The
Star is ta . vorable to the passage of the bill.
11:7" The storm of Thursday evening extended in
almost every direction, and was characterized at
some points by great violence. This wasparticularly
the case at "Philadelphia, New York and other in
terniediate points. Several vessels were capsized
and sunk, and much property was destroyed. Sev
eral lives were also lost ; During the progress of
the storm, a number of buildings,.in the above
mentioned cities, were struck by lightning.
As Nis A NTICIPATED.—A despatch from Cin
cinnati announces that Merrasw WARD, whose
trial for the murder of Professor BUTLRR, at Louis
ville, last fall, had been progressing for a week
previous, at Elisabetbtown, Ky., has been acquit
ted. Of courie,,nobody ever dreamed of Any other
resulein that region, however guilty he was of the
Cold blooded, deliberate murder of an unoffendiog
citizen. The murderer, however, belongs to a
wealthy and aristocratic family, 'whilst his victim
moved in the more humble walks of life. That is
the secret of his escape from the gallows, as it has'
been in other similar cases which have occurred in
Kentucky. .
Vrnertivri LaNns.—We direct the _attention o r
capitalists to the advertisement, in another column,
for the sale of extensive and valuable properties in
Bath co., Va. These lands offer great inducements
to purchasers, and we are sure some of our Lan
caster county Warmers could not do better than in
vest their money in that section of country.

new Court House is intended to represent Jusvict

give it quite a different meaning.

hail, passed over this city on Thursday afternoon
WHAT POSTMASTERS MAT FRANH THEIR OWN
PRIVATE LETTEas,&c.—Each postmaster whose
'compensation for the last preceding year did not
exceed $2OO, may send through the mail all let•
ters written, by himself on his private, business
which shall not exceed one half an ounce in weight
Tree of postage. If the compensation exceed $2OO,
then he has the nght to frank only such letters as
relate exclusively to the business of his office or of
the Post Office' Department. No postmaster can
receive or send free any printed , matter; and in
every instance where a postmaster receives a com
munication addressed to him as postmaster which
is of a private character and designed to promote
private interests, with an evident intention of giv
ing circulation to it without' paying. postage, he
will return the same to the person ';who sent it
under a new envelope, with the charge of letter
postage endorsed thereon.
A DAUS. DAT Courna.—Thealmanacs say thft t
there will be an extraordinary eclipse of the sun
on the 26th of May next, such , a one as none but
'oldest inhabitants' have witnessed in this vicinity.
It will be similar to the great eclipse of 1808, since
which time there has been noneresembling it near
er than that of 1831, when eleven twelfths of the
sun was obscured.
137" It is thought the Legislature will adjourn
sin. die on Thursday next.
What are Letters of itiarquel
Is a question, says the PennsYloarrirk whicl4prob
ably;tnany would be glad to; have a definite an
swer to just at this time. Letters of. .Marqoe are
extraordinary_commissions Ousted by public au
thority to owners of ivvessel,iauthorising such ves
sel to make capture and prizl!ThOf the - persons,Ships
and property of the"subjects of !mother nation
which has committed injOries, but neglects or re
fuses to give propel' redress therefor. The vessel
itself which bears this commission, is sometimes
called a Letter of Marque.
The term marque is derived from the Anglo Sax
on mearc, a bound on boundary. Letters of marque
and reprisal, as they are more fully termed, sig
nify literally, therefore, commissions authorizing
the passing of the frontiers or boundary, for the
purpose of taking in return. •
• In their origin they had reference to specific in
juries in capturing, detaining or with holding the
property of individuals in time of peace, and is
sued only to the party injured, or his agents. Their
issue was not regarded as a declaration of war
though formal hostilities might be the ultimate
result. .Some consider Them.a species of hostility
an imperfect war;' but strictly, they are not a
'breach of the peace' between nations; though a
forcible redress of injury is contemplated. The
force may not unaptly , be likened to a distress for
rent, which in a measure, ni a remedy placed in
the hands of the injured party—the landlord him
self.
It is unnecessary to trace the modification and
regulations to whiCh letters of marque have been
subjected from their origin to the present day.•—
Reprisals between nation a9d nation, as one means
of obtaining justice, are of very ancient origin, and
have their foundation in the nature of the relations
of dttlerent powers. Though not of frequent occur
rence now, yet as late as 1834 President Jackson
in his annual message, suggested the propriety of
resorting to this method of obtaining satisfaction
of our claims against France.
Letters of marque and reprisal, however, with
reference to operations at eta were not known till
a much later period, when the increase in the num
ber ot the ,rnaratime powers, and the advance' of
commerce gave rise to their necessity. In modern
practice they are seldom, it ever, issued until war
has been declared or is in immediate prospect.—
Merchantmen, in time of war, often deem it advi
sable to carry larger crews than usual, and more
f
at less of an armament, fo purposes ot defence;
and not unfrequently take out letters ot marque,
,with the view, if opportun ty oilers, to indemnify
themselves for the increased risk and expense of a
voyage, by taking prizes. Privateers or vessels fit
ted out at private expense, ' for the express purpose
ot cruising against an eneMy's commerce, are com
missioned by letters of mal•que. The term is now
applied in a general sense, to the authority under
which all lawful private armed ships act.
In the United States, the power of granting let.
ters of marque and reprisal, is vested by the Con.
stitution, in Congress. In the war of 1812, this
power was exercised in the act of June 18, 1812,
declaring war; and provision made for the guidance
and regulation of partirs applying for such com
missions, and of vessels sailing under them, by the
acts of June 26, 1812, apd January 27, 1813.
These acts were temporary in their design, and are
now obsolete. Special legislation would be re
quired upon any future occasion which called for
a renewed exercise of this power.
It would .be a violation of the Neutrality Act of
April 20,1.818, tor any American vessel to be
commissioned as a letter f marque in the service
Of any foreign power, against a nation with whom
we are at peace; or for any vessel to be "fitted out
and armed in any of our ports, for the purpose of
cruising under letters of marque against a friendly
power.
ENGLAND Aar]) Curse..-By the recent European
intelligence it appears not improbable that the pot.
icy of England towards I Cuba may undergo some
change. It seems that Spain, instead of yielding
cheerfully to the demand of England to join in the
coalition against Russia, refuses to do so, unless
England and France gurirantee the safety of Cuba
against the United States. This refusal is regarded
with much indignation hy England, inasmuch 'as
she has been the faithful ally and protector of
Spain, and expected more friendly treatment. The
London Gazette, in commenting upon this subject,
says that 'politically it ,would be wrong to allow
the United States to possess Cuba; but morally and
commercially it cannot to soon change masters.' It
also says, that it the United States have any de
sign of taking that country, the present opportuni
ty is a very favorable one, 'as in all probability
France and England will be too much engaged in
the Present war to pay any attention to so dishonored
a country as Spain, and its slave-importing colony of
Cuba: Alter commen ing upon the impossibility
of suppressing the slave trade in Cuba as at pre
sent governed, and the despotic character of that
government, the editor boldly declares he consid
ers it a matter of certamty, that Cuba will event.
ually be added to the dominion of the 11. States,
and that 'setting aside the policy of the question, it
will be a fortunate event for civilization and hu
manity.' These sentim i nts are strange to the Eng
lish press, but they ar& none the less manifestly
just and true. That thelcause of humanity and the
commercial interests not only of our nation but of
the world, would be adanced by our possession of
Cuba, cannot be doubt d by any one who candidly
i,, ,
investigates the subject The article in the Gazette
shows that at least a portion of the. English peo
ple are beginning to look at this matter in its true
l':ht, and without being blinded :by a senseless
•-'eeling of jealousyandlanimosity towards the Uni
ted States.—Pennsylmaian.
Waco CAPITAL -11l will be rememberid that
the first pardon granted by Gov. Bigler, was to
George F. Alberti, of Philadelphia, convicted and
sentenced to the Penitentiary, for kidnapping. The
facts of the case, prole that he was tried and
convicted by an Abolition jury, and sentenced by
an Abolition Judge, irf the face of all law. These
things were all made palpably plain by the Phila
delphia Argus, at the time the pardon was grant
ed, by giving a detailed statement of the whole
case, and every h - onorable man gave Gov. Bigler
credit for the act. But the woolly heads were dis
satisfied, and nursed heir wrath. The name of
Alberti was almost forgotten, until the execution
of Jewell, in Piitsburi, when one of the woolly-,
head organs declared that the executioner was the
notorious Alberti. The hue and cry was taken up
by the whig press throughout the State. One ad
ded that Alberti had also officiated as executioner
of Spring—another th i rd he had taken up the busi
ness as a trade, and Was about to traverse the coun
try as a public _han&rian. These complimentary
and enlhrged notices o Alberti ware not intended for
his benefit—they wer only used for the purpose
of having a fling at ov. Bigler, whose name was
invariably coupled wi h the announcement.
It appears, howev , that the assertion of Al
berti ever serving:as e ecutioner is a sheer fabrics.
lion. He has proved it such by affidavits of the most
respectable persons of Philadelphia, and has brought
suit for libel against the originator of the story.
Now with these facts before them, we should
suppose the Whig paers would make the amende
honorable. But not word do they say on the
*: !i
subject. They have ad a fling at the Governor
over Alberti's shouldrirs—they have given curren
cy to a lie—and theylnever correct errors. Can a
party so hard run foil argument against an oppon
ent have any hope oluccess , We grow not.

The Canal Coonnlenilonern.
A. moat reckleas and savage attack having been
made on the Canal Board, by the Democratic
because they saw proper to reduce the tolls on the,
State road, the following commuldcation explana.. 3
pry of their course, has been sent in to the Legis-
C• 11.0. COIOII7.ISSIONEIIS '
Harrisburg, April 24, 1854.
Hots. B. Crum,
Speaker of the House of Repreunicuives :
Srms--As rumors have been put afloat in rela
tion to a reduction of tolls, which if left uncontra
dieted, might have the effect to depreciate the value
of the main line, it the bill for its sale should be.
come a law, the board deem it doe to the Legisla
ture to place before it a true statement of the case.
On the 18th of March last, a toll sheet was fixed
on through freights Carried by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company over the Philadelphia and Co
lumbia saitroad„and its own road between Phila
delphia and Johnstown. The company immedi
ately complained-that the rates, as compared with
those paid over the whole main line by other tran
sporters, were unjust and excessive. Since that
time a correspondence has been kept up on the sub-.
jece between the board and the company, the result
of which was, that the board_ became convinced
that a reduction in favor of the company was de
manded by the principles ofjustice. Accordingly,
on Saturday last, a reduction of two cents per.looo
pounds on first class, and of five cents on fourth
class freight, carried by the company over the Co
lumbia railroad, to and from the points above des
ignated, was agreed upon, to take eflect on the Sd
of May.
The board, in fixing that time, were satisfied
that the bill for the sale of the main line would be
officially disposed of by the Executive before the
resolution went into effect. But should anything
arise to postpone the enactment of the law to a I
later period, the resolution is so guarded as to
place its repeal within the power of the board at
any. time. The case then stands thus If the bill
becomes a law before the Ist of May, the resolu
tions cannot be binding on the company purchas
ing, if it conflicts with the provisions of the law.
The Legislature may rest assured that the board
have not done nor will they do any act which
may remotely affect the sale of the works, and that
should the emergency arise, the resolution will be
suspended.
In conclusion, the board must be allowed to in
dulge in the expression of their surprise that any
one should believe that they would resort to such
an expedient to prejudice the sale, when it is known
to every member of the Legislature who thought
proper to ask their opinion, flint a majority of the
i board favored the measure.
WAL HOPKINS,
THOS. H. FORSYTH.
The Main Line.
We are not convinced by the mere passage of
the act for the sale of the Main Line of the State
Improvements, that it will be to the advantage of
the people or the State. A correspondent of the
Pennsylvanian, who declares himself in favor of
the sale, this sums up the advantages likely to ac
crue to the Commonwealth by the passage of the
10 million bill :
The bill as it now reposes on the Executive table
proposes to sell the main line of the Public works to
the highest bidder. The minimum price is fixed
at ten millions of dollars; one filth of the whole
amount to be paid to cash, or State bonds; and the
balance on time payments, with the same tenders.
The bill also grants the privilege of constructing a
railroad from Columbia to Ohio, and the privilege
is unfettered with any of those disagreeable little
provisions which jealous
,legislators are always
rudely poking into the faces of schemers. It re
quires no prophet to predict, that if the main line
is sold at all, it will be sold at the minimum price.
State. Fives are now selling at 87—or at a discount
of 13 per cent, and as these securities will be re
ceived in lieu of cash, it follows, that instead of re
alising $10,000,000, the State will only receive $B,-
700,000. Again : The loose property, etch as cars,
trucks, engines, tools, old iron, &c., is included in
the sale, and by competent persons it is estimated
to be worth at least one million of dollars. Nor is
this all. We venture to assert that there are capi
talists in Philadelphia and New York who would
eagerly give two millions for the railroad privile
ges which this bill secures. After making these
deductions, let us see what the State actully real
zes :
Nominal proceeds of the sale,
Deduct 13 per cent—being the dif
ference between the par and mar
ket value of State Fives, $1,300,-
000 ; loose proper;}, belonging to
the State, $1,000,000; estimated
worth of the railroad privileges,
$2,000,000 :.Total, $ 4,300,000
Actual proceeds of the sale, $ 5,7.4)0,000
This Esau mode of bartering is essentially
Penney lvaniaish in all its features. The great chain
of improvements, connecting the Delaware with
the. Ohio is not only to be disposed of for the con
temptibly small sum of $5,700,000, but no security
is revved fronahe purchasers jarfour fifths of the pay.
ments. It is no wonder that the lobbies of the Leg.
islative halls at Harrisburg have been so well filled
with agents of transporting and railroad compa
nies from all parts 01 the State and Union. But the
whole matter now rests with the Governor, and
we have no doubt but what he will be influenced
in his decision by what he conceives will be for
the best interests ot Pennsylvania.,
RIISSI►A DIPLOMACT.—Some additional diplo•
matic correspondence has been published in Eng
land, which reveals a few points of interest. By
these it appears officially, as communicated by
Austria to England, that the mission of Count
Orloff, the last Russian Envoy to the Courts of
Prussia and Austria, was to persuade them to en
ter into an engagement with Russia to the follow-
iag effect:
'The' Emperor of Russia proposes the strictest
neutrality as the attitude to be assumed by the two
principal German Powers and their confederates,
and an armed defense of this neutrality against nny
who might threaten to infringe it. Russia would
engage to aSsist them, for this purpose, with all
her forces, to an extent which should hereafter be
determined by a joint arrangement to be coneluded
by military commissioners. She would further un
dertake, in case the events of war should lead to a
modification of the state of things existing in Tur
key, not to adopt any resolution on this subject
without a previous understanding with the Courts
of Vienna and Berlin.'
The King of Prussia at first declined this propo
sition. The Emperor of Austria declined making
the engagement unless the Emperor of Russia
would bind himself to limit the field of his action,
not to extend further his military operations in
European Turkey, not to seek territorial aggran
dizement, or any right of interference in the inter
nal affairs of Turkey, or any new rights not re•
suiting from ancient treaties. The Emperor of
Russia refused to make any such agreement. The
Emperor of Austria is surprised at this, as the Em
peror of Russia had previously declared his inter'.
Lion of maintaining a . defensive position on the
north side of the Danube. The Emperor of Aug.
tria, therefore, declined the Russian proposition,
it being plainly stated in the documents that the
Russian Envoy was not able to give - satisfactory
guarantees that the interests of Austria will not be
compromised by . a dissolution of European Tur
key.
Gov. Biomes VETO OF THE VOW{ COUNTY
Baax.—The Boston Post, in an article upon this
subject, pays a well-merited tribute to Gov. 8.,
and says:—
'We have always confessed our esteem for the
veto power as a very important and salutary ele
ment in our forms of Government, and the use
which the able and popular Governor of Pennsyl=
vania has made of it in this instance is by no means
calculated to weaken the respect Which the public
entertain for this great check and saieguard. Tho'
this veto message is short and unostentatious, and
the idea of its effect on his re-election probably
never entered the Governor's mind, as such an idea
never should effect an executive officer in the dis
charge of his duty, we cannot but believe that the
voters will find in it an additional reason 'for sus
taining Governor Bigler in the coming annual con
test.'
Tux New HOLLAND Munnen..—A few weeks
since, we expressed an opinion that the man
named Freeman, who was found dead near New
Holland, had committed suicide. It appears . how
ever, that those.persons cognizant of all the circum
stances, as connected with the finding and appear
ance of the body-1.-the disposition of the clothing,
and the evidence adduced before the Coroner's ju
ry, cannot but believe other than that he was mur
dered. We merely gave the rumor of his supposed
suicide as it reached us, not pretending that,our
version of the affair, was the correct one. If the
unfortunate man was murdered, every effort should
be made to bring the offenders to punishment.
The Altrate at 'Smyrna..
The President flu'submitted to the
Representatives all-the corresporidence , _ . rehatilig
the seizure and release gouts !at ,S
na.. Nearly all the infnnation-centetniiii ip Vim
correspondence has heretofore beenjiutilititied; : l6lat
several letters, in i additidir to those'alreadt iri print,
accompany the messaie of the 7 President. !FroJfin •
these we make i few extracts.
Captain Ingniham, in communicating to theNa:
vy Department, under date of Smyma,July 3,1863,
the circumstances of the seizure and rescue of
Kosztai says :
'I have taken a tearful responsibility upon t me
this act,-(Kosztes release;) but alter Mr. Bro
had informed me that Boszta had (aken the o•.
of.allegiance to the Vatted States and lonsviorn. •
allegiance to Atistria, that he was an Americ
citizen, and had been under the protection ,of
American Legation at Constantinople, 11. could
hesitate to believe , he was fully entitled to prof
Lion. It was a case of life and death; for it Kos
had been taken' to Trieste, his fate was seared; .
could I have looked the American people in
face again, if [ had allowed a citizen to be ; exe
ted and not use-, the power in my hands to prot
him, for fear of,doing too much The easy mlin
ner, also, in which he , was given up, and the con
vention that should be held by a third party, until
his nationality could be established, is evidence shat
they were not sure of their ground.
'Should my conduct be approved, it will ;be. due
of the proudest moments of my life, that I have
saved this gallant man from a cruel and ignomin
ious death. On the other hand, should the co9rse
1 have pursued, be disavowed, 1 must bow, to the
decisioni but, whatever may be the consequence to
me, 1 shall feel I have done my best to support the
honor of the flag, and not allowed a citizen to beep
pressed, who claimed at my hands the protection of
the flag.' A •
Mr. Dobbin, the Secretary of the Navy, in !his
reply to Capt. Ingraham, dated August 19, 1853,
•
says : a
'This Department does not fecl milled on to en
large on the various questions of internationaLlaw
involved in the proceedings adopted by the offiCers
of the different Governments concerned. These
questions may hereafter become a subject of discus
sion between the respective governments interested.
I deem it proper at present to content myself by
assuring you that prudence, promptness, and spirit
which marked the part you bore in the transaction,
is approved by this Department. It is a matter of
gratulation that the affai. terminated without a re
sort to collision and bloodshed.
'The President desires that upon all occasionsiand
in all parts of the globe visited by the American
navy, the rights and the property of American 'ciii
zens shall be watched over with vigilance and!pru
tested with energy; but he with no less earnest•
ness enjoins it upon the officers of the navy to exer
cise due caution to avoid the slightest itilractidn of
the laws of nations and scrupulously regard! the
rights of others. Respect the flags &other nations,
and with more pride you can demand respect for
your own.'
Even the National Intelligences is compelld to
praise the above official extracts. It sayi:
We confess, on reading them afresh ourselves,
we know not which to 'most admire—the high
principles and honorable feelings evinced by the
naval commander under most eying circum6an
ces; the propriety, judgment and kindness With
which the act of the officer was treated by the
Secretary of the Navy Department; or the humane
and just sentiments which Mr. Dobbin sJ finely
expressed on behalf orlaimselt and the Chiet ;Mag
istrate, in his reply to Capt. Ingraham. The rules
of conduct for our naval commanders abroad laid
down by the President in the last paragraph of the
Secretary's letter are not surpassed, in our judg
ment, in clearness, justice, discrimination, or beau
ty, by any State paper of similar import. We con
fess that we are proud to see maxims so just -and
so honorable to`the country sent abroad by our
government.
NEw RUSSIAN Mcsisrzit.-The N. Ylffuine
announces as certain, the appointment of Count
ALEXANDER DE MEDEN to succeed the deeased
Mr. Bourse° as Russian Minister at Waliiligton
Count Medem belongs to one the most aristocrat

in the diplomatic career, having passed throdgh all
its inferior grades. He was some time in th'e East
principally as Consul General in Egypt. From
thence, two years ago, he was sent as Minister to

Brossair.—Alderman Mitchell, of Philadelphia,
had before him on Monday afternoon, young
man named John P. Shindle, on' the harge of
having more wives than the law' allow . It ap
peared from the tdstimony, that he had married e
respectable and handsome young lady in Lancas
ter, Pa, in 1852, and took her to the cit , where
they have been residing ever since. In January
last Ite married another young lady in he city,
equally Pretty and respectable. On Su day, the
last lady heard of the perfidy of her hue and, and
she went into convulsions immediately, a d during
the examination before the Alderman, s e appear

married the Lancaster lady, but unfortu ately for
him o she confronted him with the certifica, a of her
marriage. Both ladies were present daring the

position in which they were placed. Th ' accused

OLD BULLION IN A HUM—Some of our readers
may have noticed that Mr. Benton failed in getting
one of hii favorites appointed as Postmaster in St.
Louis. The old gentleman takes this fact in high
dudgeon, and proposes .to p . ay Mr. Postmaster
Campbell off after the following fashion. Original
certainly, but ooness spunky man usual:
Notice to my Friends and Constituents in the city of
St. Louis.
The subjoined correspondence will explain the
reason ot the notice which I now give: which ie,
that for some time past 1 have sent nothing to my
friends or constituents in St. Louis through the
post office in that city and after the day of the
publication ol this notice in St. Louis will receive
nothing which shall be sent to me through that
office. 'My coriespondence will go through the ex
press line of Adams & Co., who generously offer
to -fetch and carry gratis for me within the limits
ot the Postmaster General's letter, and their office
will be my post office in that city. Teostas H.

THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES or RUSSIA.-111 Gu
rowski's intelligent work on Russia, he gives no
flattering account of financial resources of the Em
pire, which become more and more embarrassed,
since not all-the resources of the nation and of the
soil are within the greedy grasp of the Imperial
Treasury. Direct taxation is not known ie Russia
The nobility cannot be directly taxed, neither can
the soil nor the serfs. The latter pay a small cap
itation tax, of about a dollar a head, which income
is destjned•to maintain the local administration of
the different provinces, or governments as they are
called. But millions of this tax remain for years
unpaid—and this arrearage.increases and extends
daily. The whole revenue Of the Empire amounts
to 125 and,l3o millions of dollars. Of this amount
nearly the half is yielded by the liquor monopoly;
the custom houses give about 26 millions, from
duties on exports; the crown domains about 34
millions. Nearly two-thirds of the entire revenue
is absorbed in the maintenance of the immense ar
my. Tlth remainder of the revenue, after deduct
ing the arreareges of the several,departments, but
principally of the crown domains, has to maintain
the general administration, pay the interest of the
public debt, support the large imperial family and
finally supply the expenditures of the Emperor up
on his favorites and his lavish extravagance other
wise, fur which his private personal income fails
by many millions to suffice. 'the rational debt is
nearly 1,320,000,000.1 The yearly interest thereon
is more than $20,000;000—a little more [Mint per
cent. on the whole. The war in Hungary contrib
uted mightily to drain the already depleted treasu
ry: This war, and all the military manifestations
since, outrun considerably the current revenues—
the real official resources of the Government resorts
to the Banks and their deposit!.

GEORGE L&w, THE ‘MOSIETTEER2—The Wash.
ington Star, which ought to know what it talks
about, and doubtless does, says it learns that
George Law, Esq. has cold out all his interest in
the Atlantic Ocean Mail steamer line between
New York and Aspinwall, and his stock in the
Aspinwall and Panama railroad, it is said, for about
a million and a half of dollars, having realized,
his trienda in Washington intimate, some two
millions in all. Moses Taylor and Marshall 0.
Roberts, with various Wall street capitalists, are
the purchasers of his interest in the steamships
and railroad lines.
The career of George Law has been, to say the
least of it, very extriordinary. Thirty years ago
he was poor and unknown. His touch, like the
Pand of Midns, is, credited with having turned
verything to'gold. His musket speculation is yet
in embryo. The clipper brig 'Grape Shot car
ried from New York twelve or fifteen thousand
somewhere, to some parties unknown. She-was
last heard from off the Belize. near the mouth of
the Mississippi. We should not be surprised if,
having made his fortune, George Law now enters
on the career of a politician, and it he iv the Hard
candidate, instead of Greene C. Bronson, at the next
New York gubernatorial election: Money, it will
be recollected, goes a great way in such matters
in that quarter.
INGEgIOUS CLOCR.—Mr. Zahm, Jeweller, corner

Attached to the clock is a figure representing a tree
in full leaf, covered with various kinds of birds,
moved by wires, fluttering and chirping as though
they were alive. It is a most ingenious piece of
mechanism, and was -manufactured in Boston.
A San Aeon:mix—A man named William

cause his death which occurred on Friday morn

:'?' - The Shift; lowa for Superiniendent of I
Public Instruction, has resulted in the selection of
Mr. Eads, the Democratic candidate; by a highly
complimentary and respectable majority. The next
election in that State takes place in August for
Governor and other State officers The Whigs,
Abolitionists and Free Soilers are moving heaven
and earth in the endeavor to carry the August elec
tion. The Whig State Convention nominated Jas.
W. Grimes, of Desmoines county, as their candi
date for Governor, an open and avowed Abolition
ist. This selection does not meet with the ap
proval of the old tried Whigs ofs a past age—the
stout-hearted compromise men of other times, or
the Whig s with professed Rrinciples. A portion
of the taig press has dergiunced the nomination
as a bare-laced trickery—unworthy the action of
Whig State Convention—dishonest, corrupt and de
moralizing in its tendencies, and prone to bring an
irredeemable defeat and a damnable and lasting
stain upon the Whig party of lowa, lorever. It
appears that the Whig s in that State can be sold
like sheep in the market, and that in this instance
have sold themselves to the Free Soilers and dyed
in the wool Abolitionists, who attended the late
Whig Convection at lowa City, and fought against
• any other than Abolitionists being nominated; they
pledging themselves then and there to support the
Whig ticket with such men upon it; but they
were not successful in the entire selection of
candidates, and forthwith called a convention at
Crawfordsville on the 28th ult., and nominated men
of Free Soil and Abolition taint, and passed the al
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That we recommend the Free De
mocracy to cast their votes for James W. Grimes,
of Des Moines County, for Governor, because we
believe, if elected, that he will maintain and carry
out our principles.
Thus you see the Whig Party is being torn asun
der in all quarters; in lowa they have sold them
selves, their principles (if they ever had any) and
their former pledges, for the sake of catching tile
votes of a ragged and miserable faction, thus help
ing to sink them deeper into the abyss of infamy
and prostitution. •
The Democrats die firm in the maintenance ot
the time honored principles and ustiages of the
party, and adhere strictly to their former senti
ments and pledges. Their candidate for Governor,
Cyrais Bates, is an editor, a spirited and aple writer,
an influential and much esteemed citizen of that
State, and withal a sound Democrat. He has re
signed iris dignified and responsible station as edi•
for of the lowa Star, and entered into the politicel
campaign with all the zeal and energy in his power
for the success of the party and the maintenance
of its great arid glorious doctrines. This is a sac
rifice for which the people oh lowa should not be
ungrateful.
Judge Wm. E. Leffingwell, of the Fifth Judicial
District of lowa, has resigned his post and accep
. the Attorneyship of the Lyons (Iowa) Central
Railroad.
The Hon. R. S: Bingham, ex-democratic mem
ber of Congress, has accepted the Wei) ',dent Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor di Michigan, after
the expiration of the time to which Mr. M'Clel
land was elected—now the present Secretary of
the Interior—and Hon. Nathan Pierce will run as
Lieut. Governor on the same ticket.
'Uncle 'fom'e Cabin' has been adopted among
the collection of books in the Methodist Episcopal
Sunday School of Dubuque, lowa. Novel reading
must be regarded as very instructive to the rising
generation.
In the State of Alabama there are 100,000 chil
dren who receive no school education whatever.
The Receiver of Public Monies, at Shawneetown,
Illinois, reports the cash receipts of the quarter end
ing March, 1854, at $95,000 and that the warrant
receipts amounted. to sls,ooo—total $llO,OOO. It
appears from this that government has disposed of
in three months 83,500 acres of land in that dis.
trict alone. This is a good evidence of the future
wealth of the 'Sucker State.' -
The cholera is reported to have broken out at
Keokuk, lowa, among a company of emigrants to
that State—ten or twelve deathehave occurred. A
citizen of the place died after a few hours illness.
'[he steamer Australia, which left our port about
a week since for the Missouri river, with a large
crowd of Mormon emigrants, destined for the Great
Salt Lake Valley, is reported as having had consid
erable sickness and a number of deaths on board.
Twelve deaths had occurred on this boat at the
last accounts, and a great number of others,
were then sick. A. Mr. Taylor, residing
bodies at a landing, where several dead
were taken off and buried, died alter a few
hours sickness. The disease is said to have been
cholera, but I think more likely ship lever, con
tracted on board the vessel which brought them to
New; Orleans. But we must admit, that dreadful
scourge, the cholera, is hovering around us, and I
greatly fear its prevalence to a 'greater or less ex.
ter.t in our midst during the summerseason. Sev
eral hundred English, Danish and French Mormons
are now in our city preparing to set on their jour
ney to the 'Great City' in a few days. Sickness is
already among them, and several deaths are reported.
The.packets bound up the river continue t o go
crowded with emigrants, should they continue to
come from the Ohio river much longer, as they
have been for the past six weeks, the State of lowa
will be full, as nearly all are making that State
their destination. ir The papers in the North arid
East say the 'immense emigration west is bound
for California and Oregon: This statement is not
correct, for not 20 out of every hundred intend to
cross the plains. The emigration to California, as
I stated in a previous letter, will be small, compar
atively, to former seasons; but a heavy emigration
'is wending its way into Oregon, Utah and Nebras
ka.
Your State- is sending thousands of hardy far
mers and skillful mechanics into the west this
spring, to till our soil and build up our towns.--
Pennsylvanianscan be found in all parts of the west
ern country; our own city can boast of a large and
respectable delegation, who represent the 'Keystone
State' in a manner highly creditable to themselves
and those they left on the green hills, and in the
fertile valleys of their native home. And many of
those with a little experience of the manners and
customs of the country, join in the sentiment—
A
home in the West for me.' •
An •lowa paper says in regard to the overland
emigration:—
'lmmigrants to lowa are crossing at this pl ace
in large numbers. From appearances we think the
stampede for California and Oregon is rather run
ning down at the heel, as not one in a hundred
teams passing this way is bound to those regions.'
The Legislature of Utah has beet) organized,
and Governor Young's message is a sound docu
ment, and represents the finances of the Territory
to be in a, prosperous condition: It is said that
ten thousand souls have emigrated into that terri
tory the past year, a considerable portion troni the
Northern European States and British Islands. The
message takes strong ground in favor of the con
struction of the Pacific Railroad, and gives a sensi
ble, view of territorial improvements, the establish
ment and fostering of manulac tures, &c.
Dr. Nott, of Mobile, who seems to understand all
about the yellow fever, predicts that it will attack
the Atlantic cities next summer, and particularly
Philadelphia.
In regard to the new treaty_with England, in
which Mr. Buchanan has displayed his greatstates
manlike sagacity, the press of all parties untie in
one accord in acknowledging and setting forth
the, incalculable 'advantages which will 'flow
therefrom to our commerce and to that of the
world. It is considered the most important treaty.
to our commercial interests that has been adjusted
for the last hall century. The credit of this her.
rassing difficulty belosigs exclusively to the Hon.
James Buchanan;'whose acknowledged ability and
love fe,K American interests has brought about the
final settlement of this long pending and vexed
question, which .at one time involved us in a war
with Great Britain; and what that struggle failed to
accomplish, has now been finally terminated by
the American Minister at the Court of St. James.—
Without instructions from his government, aed up
on his own responsibility, undertook and conclu
ded this treaty between the United States and G
Britain. The American people, when the opportu
nity offers, will show their high appreciation arid
regard tor-the able and statesmanlike manner in
which -Pennsylvania's Favorite Son,' and America's
noblest champion has so eminently and so fearless
ly considered our commercial interests, and secured
the perfect freedom of our commerce upon the
high seas agaidst. the right of search. The day
will come when JAMES BUCHANAN will lead the
Democratic party to victory andlrenown.
The Santa Fe mail has arrived at Independence,
in t his State, and a dispatch from that plfce to this
city, dated April 19th, says:—
Dr. Henry Connelly, Gov. Merriwetner, Mr. W m.
Cunningham, Mrs. Smith, wife of the Missionary in
New Mexico, and Perea, and any number of Mex
ican traders, have arrived at our western fiorders,
intending to proceed to your city at once. They
were twenty three days in making the trip from
Santa Fe, and had pretty good success in accom
plishing their journey. Just at starting, on the 25th
of March, a very deep snow fell in Mexico.,—the
first during the winter or spring.
At Pawnee Fork, the Indians were very trouble
