Money Winted.
We need money badly at the present timt); and
as we have a large amount standing on our books
for subscription, advertising and job work, we
should be,pleaseii to see any number of our pa
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 (end we
have a goodly number of such) who arl always
prompt in paying the Printer.
The Signed.
The Governor has signed the bill for the sale of
the Main Line of the Public Work!. He has thus
—and very properly, too, we think—thrown the
responsibility of the measure upon the Legislature,
in both branches of which it passed by large ma.
jorities.
It is said that no bid will be made by the Cen
tral Railroad Company. It that be the case, it is
'questionable whether there will be a purchaser ;
at all events r it is somewhat doubtful whether the
works can be bold at this time. Tnere is a strin
gency in the money market, growing out of the
warlike condition of Europe, which would render
it difficult, perhaps, for any other Company to ef•
feet a loan. We shall see.
The Nebraska Bill.
We presume this bill was taken up in the House
of Representatives, on yesterday—Mr. Richardson,
Chairman of the Committee on Territories, having
given notice to that effect a few days since. ;We
sincerely hope, if it be taken up, that the House
will work away at it, until they get it through in
some shape or other, for we are heartily sick of
the everlasting din that is kept up about the.meas
ore in and out of Congress. There are one or two fea
tures in the Senate bill which we do not like—but,
either that or the House bill can be amended and
put in such a shape as will satisfy all reflecting
and - reasonable men, and in a short time silence
the clamors of the opposition. The leading prin
ciples embodied in both bills are right, and in ac
cordance with the sentiments of the people. We
hope to see them sustained, and the Compromise
measuies of 1850 adhered to in every particular•
But, we say again, if the bill is to be passed at the
present session, let it he done without any further
delay, so that an end may be put to the agitation
which is kept up by the Abolitionists and Free
Boilers of the North and East.
THB STEADIER CITY OF GL/EGOW.—The Phila.
delphia Bulletin, in speaking of this ill-fated steam
er, says:—.Ship after ship arrived from England,
and it became certain that the missing steamer
haskhot returned to Europe. News was received
fiom - Fayal, and almost the last great stay of hop
ing frearts was destroyed, the missing ship 'had not
leached the Azores, while from the West Indies
there cams no tidings of her safety. Meanwhile,
sixty days have sped away, and those who have
hoped on through all the gloom that surrounded
the object of their anxiety, and have clung to eve
ryxtraw of promise, after undergoing all the tor
tures of suspense, now feel the bitterness of des
pair.
Merchants who had Merchandise on boili the I
lost ship, court upon their insurance, or carry the
amount of their consignment to profit and loss,
while they send out orders for goods to take the
place of those that have, in all human probability,
gone to the bottom of the deep with the towering
hopes and faltering fears of four hundred sodls.
Some of the friends of passengers on the Glae.
sow, either impelled by some irresistable impulse,
or ignorant of the operations of the telegraph and
the newspapers, repair daily to Queen Street
Wharf, and gaze earnestly down the river for the
arrival of the-ship. They return each evening to
their desolate homes dispirited and wearied, but
the next morning sees them again wending their
way wharfways to - again return disappointed. We
much fear that the fate of the City of Glasgow
like the long lost President, will remain shrouded
i n mystery forever.
Arm:taxa'ENv.—The Legislature adjourns sine
die to-day. In another column Will be found a list
of the acts passed relative to Lancaster county.—
We are right down glad that the Legislature has
adjourned; and it only Corroaess would, withqut
any longer delay, pass. the Nebraska bill, in such
shape as will be satisfactory to the people, and such
other bills as are absolutely necessary, and then
follow the praise-worthy example of the Legisla.,
tore, we shiitild thank our stars and take courage.

' ISSCREASE or FEES.--A bill has passed both
branches of the Legislature repealing the Fee Bil I
of 1821, and restoring that of 1814, in relation .to
Justices of the Peace and Constables' in the coun
ties of Lancaster, Lebanon, Dauphin, Chester, Al

This `will materially increase the fees of these of

The War in Europe.
The Washington &ar, in an article on 'The War
in Europe:says it 'never before beard,' even in
Washington, 'so many and so totally different opin
ions expresssed on a subject by the same number of
commentators or critics. All, however, appear to
concur in the opinion, that the people and govern
ment of the United States are to be almost alone
gainers by the dire contest. This opinion is pre
dicated on the now unanimously prevalent belief
that we will be able to preserve our neutrality.--7
England and Fiance having agreed to respect cur
rights as neutrals, the infraction of which would be
likely to seriously involve us in the contest,against
the side or interest failing in such matters to do
us justice. As for our taking u p arms in any con
tingency OE results of war, ass party to the affairs
of any trans-Atlas tic g overnment, nb public man
'in Washington dreams'of such a thing. Our busi
ness is to let them fight it out, trading as tar as
possible with all sides and extending our commerce
and strengthening our national interests wherever
the confusion and embarrassment of the commercial
affairs of the nations engaged may make openings
for us. - So much for Washington opinion of , the
proper position and action of the United States in'
the current condition of European affairs.'
The same paper says that the general belief in
Washington is, that 'ere the close of the war there
will be extensive revolutions all over the Continent,
to end in very radical changes of more or less of
the governments. It is thought by thebest informed,
that the Prussian government must eventually side
with Russia,if but through fear of consequences afar
off in the future. That is, alter Austria shall
have been driven by a like cause to take the same
course. And further, that when Prussia shall be
come so involved; France will cause the revolt'
tionary standard to be raised, wherever by so doing
she can paralize these allies of the Czar, who
would use the same weapon against them as we
explained - a day or two since, were they to side
with his enemies, rather than under his standard.—
It is further thought that Russia is impregnable at
home. That is, that her out-posts only can be suc
cessfully attacked by England,France and Turkey,
and tat the treasury of England will stand very
little of the draining incident to protracted war, be
fore her people will be clamoring for peace. Her
foreign commerce is necessary for the very suste
nance of millions on millions of her subjects. The
Czar will not fail to cripple that in a thousand
ways. He will aim to make her millions of fac
tory people, of all sorts, his practical tithes; attack
ing their judgment and sympathies through the
most approachable avenue—their stomachs. He
has but to send them to bed hungry for a month,
to create a most astonishing change in their esti
mation of their own governMent, ever popular in
England, when work is plenty and bread cheap,
and most execrable whenever any combination of
circumstances bring about a different state of things
though the government may not be justly accoun
table for the existing want of work and breid in
the slightest degree:
americans at Court.
The London Morning Advertiser contains a
long and well writkin article on the subject of
"American Democracy,' in the course of which
the following remarks are madb iu relerence to
the appearance of the American Minister and his
Private Secretary, in plain citizens' dress, at the
court of Queen Victoria:
We are led to these remarks by the singular ex
amples of democracy presented in the clothes of
American citizens at her Majesty's Drawing Room
on Wednesday last. It is not long since democracy
and good sense—tor such it was called by the pub.
tic journals—arrayed itself against the pageantry
of tie Court of Jamea—a court as firmly gird
led with tae i. on canine, or etiquette and non§ensP,
as the people of England tire proverbial for their
good and liberal ieelings. Democracy and good
sense were represented in the person of plain
James Buchanan, a man of the people, 'd citizen
of democratic Arrierica, and her Minister Plempo-f
I:elltlary at the Court of Her Gracious Majesty. I
lie, at a court so tenacious of its etiquette, could
break over the ancient barriers of scarlet cloth and
warners, the act was worthy 01 the man, and prized
de It was . by Englishmen, might have served as an
example to govern the course of American minis
ters in outer parts of Europe. With every respect
for Mr. Buchanan, and- - the nation that should be
proud in such a representative, we are sorry to say
, his example has not the. desired effect; but Ameri
cans'can no longer cnarge the blame to the osten
tation of our court; it belongs to the paltry pelan•
try of their own citizens. .
On this occasion the American minister was
accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Welsh. It
MUSE indeed, have been somewhat novel to the
young 'secretary, who (like a true scion of his
country) toliowed the example of his minister, to
find himself, surrounued by gorgeous costumes,
contrasting with hisplain clothes. We confess it
required the summerng of wore material courage
than tee are possessed of. There is America in
her plain cluthes—Ja great country that; said the
ambassador of a continental State, and the whisper
reached the ears ol the young man in black. The
tome of the .sentiment found a response in his
breast; but he knew that pageantry had its power
still, and could not resist these sensations which
force themselves upon lie when placed in the posi
tion of an innovator: But her Majesty's gracious
reception soon dispelled his sensitiveness. Prince
Albert, with open hand gave him a warm and cor
dial pectin; and the respect with which he was
received in the diplomatic circle, completely
restored his confidence. The Turkish amblissador
with sands extended approached him, and congra
tulated him upon lolloWing the example of his
minister. rrouching Mr. Welsh on the shoulder,
he amusingly remarked, in not very good English,
•Abt, you represent your great country. Your black
coat just and true, 1 like it, because it is in charac
ter with the institutions bf your count*"
Bvmsxso me Emor.—The Buffalo Courier very
truly says : '‘Our political history discloses the cu
rious fact, that no individualhas been burnt in effi
gy in this country for any act he may have com
mitted as ar.Rublic man, whosgpopularity has not
been materially increased by the operation. Bur
ning in effigy has been a common affair since the or
ganization of the Government. In 1776, George
Washington, Patrick Henry and John Hancock
were burnt in effigy in the streets of our cities. In
1800, Thomas Jefferson was burnt in effigy, be
cause he advocated the war with England which
secured to American seamen their rights. In 1834,
Andrew Jackson was burnt in effigy, because he
crushed a famous swindling concern called the 'Uni
ted States Bank,' and beat the British at New Or
leans-in 1814. In 1846, George M. Dallas was
burned in effigy, because he voted for the people's
tariff, which is now in operation, and which did
not make the grass grow in the middle of the
streets in our cities, as many of the croakers pre
dicted it would. But no man, we believe, has in
this country had the honor of being so freely sub
jected to this species of federal indignation as the
distinguished Senator from Illinois.
Jonas Elx.scx.—The Whig candidate for the
office of Judge of the Supreme Court, Hon. DANIEL
M. Smyssa, in his letter accepting that nomina
tion, incidently pays, in a graceful manner, a well
deserved compliment to our nominee. He says:—
{
A Judge should not only keep the judicial er-
Mine unsullied, but should take care that his robes
are not soiled by traversing unclean and miry
paths on his way to the bench. This being my
principle of action, to the correctness of which I
am sure you will subscribe, neither you nor the
public will expect any course of action on my part
that would be in derogation of it, and I feel equal
ly assured that my able and distinguished compet
itor, as eminent for the virtues of his private char
acter as for his legal ability, will hold it sacred
and inviolable.
f[7 JOEIN CHARLES GARDINER, whose trial for
perjury, alleged to have been committed by him
on the trial of his brother, Dr. Gardiner, was to
have taken place lath week in the Criminal Court
of Washington City, has forfeited his recognizance
and left for parts unknown. We suppose his bail
have been *amply indemnified. This is the finale
of the celebrated Gardiner fraud.
Acquittal of Ward.
The press, with unequalled -unanimity, speak in
terms of condemnation of the acquittal of M.
F. WARD, who was recently tried in Kentucky tor
the murder bf Professor Btrzcza. We quote the
following, amongst scores of notices which we have
seen from almost every section of the Union:
The Baltimore Clipper says;
•The intelligence of the acquittal of this man
,Ward, will excite the astonishment of every law
abiding citizen in the Union, out of Kentucky, and
will go very far to warrant the conclusion that
jury trials in that State, when the defendant hap
pens to be blest with the possession of wealth, or
influential friends and connections, is a grand hum
bug. • • • • • If Mr.
Butler had been shot under similar circumstan
ces by a poor man—:the culprit would, we have
no doubt, been tried and hung within three months
,titne—but as the Wards were wealthy and influen
tial, and Mr. Butler was only a poor, but worthy
schoolmaster—such an administration of justice in
Kentucky was not to be thought of. The whole
trial has been a solemn mockery.'
The Baltimore American says:
'The Wards were imprisoned and in legal course
brought to trial. On that trial they were surround.
ed by all the influences which toeir wealth and
high social position put within their command, and
defended by such an array of eminent legal attain.
ment and forensic eloquence, as has perhaps never
before been.assembled in any case in this country.
All the facts were against them, and the youthful
witnesses who beheld the murder tolcetheir story
so plainly and with so much agreement that every
one felt the case to be beyond the-power of legal
quibble or question. That murder had been coin•
witted there was no room for doubt, and the only
question open to we jury was the decision of its
grade. But in the face of all this, an acquittal was
predicted, and that prediction was verified.
• • • •
Whatever of sympathy may be felt for the crim
inal, and however those bound to him by ties of
blood and friendship may rejoice in his safety, there
should be no excuses accepted, no palliation allow
ed,.for those who, treacherous to society and to
themselves, have pandered to that escape, and pros
tituted the law into a mere convenience for the
sanction of a gross and palpable murder. They
deserve and can expect to receive no consideration
from an outraged public sentiment. Wherever the
details of this trial become known, their condem
nation will be certain, and, we may hope, the wrong
which they have united to commit on justice will
re-act in producing a healthier tone in the public
mind in relation to the undue influences that are
allowed to make their way into the jury box, and
o cause results so subversive as those exemplified
in the Ward acquittal.
The New York Times, in commenting - on the
result of the Ward murder trial. thus charges the
Jury and Counsel with falsehood
`The whole drama was enacted to induce the
Jury to affirm a lalsehood. And it has succeeded.
We do not believe John J. Crittenden entertains in
his heart the shadow of a doubt that Butler was
murdered. We do not believe that a single man
on that Jury believes, that the man they have ac
quitted is innocent of the crime laid to his charge.'
• And the Boston Mai!, commenting on the trial,
and evidently anticipating a verdict of acquittal,
notwithstanding the clear and undoubted guilt of
the prisoners, uses the following strong language:
`The particulars of the murder case in Kentucky,
where the two brothers, Ward, proceeded to the
school room ol Professor Butler, having previously
provided themselves with loaded pistols, for the
purpose of destroying an unoflensive man, of culti
vated mind and gentle manners, and there murder
edrhim in cold blood, are still fresh in the recol
lection of the public. His offence was inflicting a
mild and very moderate chastisement on a refrac
tory schoolboy. Bad such a crime been committed
by a man in middling circumstances, instead of
Insolent members of a spurious aristocracy, the
populace would hardly. have waited for the slow l i
and snail-paced progress of the law; but would
have seized the malefactors and hanged them on
the limb of the nearest tree. But in this case we
see treacherous, cowardly and cold-blooded 899c1.8-
sins borne to the Court House in tue Governor's
carriage, and the most eminent lawyers in the State
prostitute their talents and the prestige 01 their le
gal fame, by volunteering their services to cheat
the gallows of two of the most fitting subjects that
ever swung from its ignominious summit. An ac
quittal will place an indelible stain on the escut
cheon of Kentucky, and`we hope the jury will pause
before they inflict it. An acquittal will be a dec
laration that law is a mockery that crushes the
weak, but connives at the atrocities of the strong;
that a man of weattn may trample upon those
who are his superiors, if placed in an humbler po
sition in li.e; may dye his hands in blood and com
mit crimes that. the Russian despot, or the most
intolerant tyrant that occupies a throne dare not, in
this age attempt, antlthat his wealth will shield him
frompunishment. The eyes of the whole country are
fixed on this trial, and, we hope the scandal of an
acquittal will not be added to a crime sufficient to
transfix, humanity with horror. These Wards have
I become somewhat famous from the influential po
sition of their family in Kentucky, and the public
scandal in connection with the celebrated divorce
_of Miss Sallie Ward from Colonel Lawrence, now
attache of the American embassy to London.'
And even at home, the Louisville Democrat has
a long and very severe article in reference to the
verdict, which concludes as follows:
'We have been denounced for the mildest notice
of this case heretofore. We were told to wait for
the regular course of justice. Well, we have had
the regular course of justice—we have had law and
order; and what has law and order done ? God de
liver us from law and order, it these are their fruits.
We know that the popular mind and heart are
right on this subject. Public sentiment did not do
the deed. It seeks no vengeance, but justice : jus
tice is outraged,one of our purest, noblest, and most
useful citizens had been slaughtered in our midst.
Law and order says he was killed in selkiefence.
Was ever such a judicial lie' uttered before high
heaven? We care not what others may think; nor
do we wish to wound the feelings of the innocent;
but we shall write and publish what we please inthe
name of the insulted memory of the righteous dead,
most wickedly assailed by this verdict. There re
mains but one tribunal this side of the grave, where
Butler sleeps, that is the tribunal of public opinion.
There are some men seeking public favor in this
region, who have made themselves very officious
in this business. They shall have the attention they
need. The whole case and the testimony will be
laid before the public, as well as the testimony ex
cluded by the court. The court would admit no
testimony about the whipping in school, but it was
indirectly brought in by the defence, and cut a fig
' ure in the speeches. The prosecution was ready
to have annihilated all, that could be said on that
point by overwhelming proof, but it was shut out.
The deceased was not to be assailed—a pledge
• promptly given, but not redeemed. The friends of
the deceased will see toll that this subterfuge shall
not avail the living, nor injure the dead.'
Irr As might have been expected, after theresult
of the trial of the principal.offender,,a none prosequi
has been entered in the case of young WAnD, in
dicted with his brother forthe murder of Butler.—
And thus ends this solemn mockery on justice.
THE NEBRASKA BILL IN NORTH CAROLINA.--
The folloWing resolution concerning the principles
of the Nebraska Bill of Senator Douglass, was
adopted at the Democratic State Convention of
North Carolina on the 19th ult.
Resolved, That the bill now pending before Con
gress, to organize the Territories of Nebraska and
Kanzas, has our hearty approval, and we tender
to Senator Douglass, and other members, from the
non-slaveholding States, our thanks for their man
ly and national course on this question.
NEW BOOKS, &c
We have received from the Publishers, DEWITT
& DATENPOILT, N. Y., a neat little volume of 250
pages, entitled "Spiritual Manifestations Examined
and Explained; being a Refutation of Judge Ed
monds, or an Exposition of the Involuntary Pow
ers and Instincts of the Human Mind.' By Jan
Boyne. Dons, Author of -The Philosophy of Elec
trical Psychology," "Immortality Triumphant,"
&c.
From a cursory glance at the coptents of
the volume, we are satisfied it is no catchpenny af
fair. On the contrary, it appears to be a searching,
thorough, ciitna and puilosopnical examination and
refutation of the "Spirit Manifestations," as repre
sented by table-turnings, rapping mediums, &c. &c.,
written in such plain language that a child may
understand it, and yet so logical in its arguments
—so sound in its deductions, as to defy the ablest
critics to deny its conclusions, or to refute its rea
sonings.
The.book is elegantly bound in cloth, and fur
nished at the low price of seventy-five cents per
single copy. As it will doubtless be money well
spent, we advise our readers to send on their orders
to the Publishers, accompanied by the cash.

The Prohibitory Law.
The following are the principal provisioas of the
Prohibitory Liquor bill, as it passed both branches
of the Legislature, and is now a. law. It will be
seen that it merely submits the naked question to
a vote of the peop.e, and the decision of Le ma
jority will, of course, be considered in the light of
instructions to the next Legislature:

On motion of Mr. Bright, the third joint role was
so amended as to allow any amendment to be
malle'to appropriation bills, intended to carry out
existing laws and treaties, whether the same be for
private relief or otherwise.
Tne Senate then again resumed the considera
tion of the Indian Appropriation bill, which was
debated for some time.
A. message was received from the President ye
toinglhe bill appropriating lands for the support
of the indigent insane.
•
The 1 resident states that 'he cannot believe the
bill to be authorized by the terms of the Constitu
tion, awl, though deeply commisserating the un
happy condition of the insane, he does not consider
them exclusively meritorious objects of sympathy.
II Congress has the power and the right to be
come almoners for the indigent insane, it has the
same poWer to extend its benefits to all indigent
persons, of every class, whether insane or not, and
so establish hospitals for the poor, the sick and the
needy, a power belonging to the States. If it be in
the power of Congress to provide for one class of
objects of charity, it is to extend that charity to all.
It was not designed by the constitution that the
government shall become the general 'almoner of
the people.
He then argued that any attempt on the part of
Congress to interfere'with the local counties of the
States is derogatory zo them, and must tend to
builti up a centralizing influence, over-shadowing
the independence and-sovereignty of the:States. He
contends that Congress only has the power to die
prise of the pubflc Lands for the common interest
orthe nation. By an act of Congress the lands are
pledged for the payment of the public debt. He
can see no difference in appropriating ten millions
of dffilars or an equal number of acres of land. •
Insomuch as lands approximate to money, acon
stitutional difficulty arosk„ which attracted atten
tion. He considers that ;the granting of alternate
sections of laud to the States fur the purposes . of
improvements whereby the value of the reserved
sections is enhanced, is perfectly proper, because
it would be toe course of the prudent land holder.
The message, on motion of Mr. Foot, was laid
on the table and ordered to be printed.

Mr. Brown was anxious that public attention
should he called to the message. He proceeded to
snow that the bill had received his favorable sup
port, and argued in favor of its passage, notwith
,tanding, the veto. The message had not spoken
hie conviction as to the constitutionality of the
hill.
Mr. Foot sustained the bill, and suggested that
some future day be fixed for the discussion of the
message. He examined with,considerable freedom
the otioctions of the Piesident, discussing them .se
rialim, and at length.
Mr. Hunter said as it was proposed to postpone
the discussion, it was not a proper occasion now to
debate the question. At the proper time the friends
of the President would meet the issue. In passing
'however, he would say that the country was deep

Mr. Butler favored the message, but wanted the

Mr. Dixon intimated that he ,should hereafter

the message. He expressed his surprise that the
constitutionality of giving either money or lands
should be denied. That it was constitutional for
marine hospitals and railroads was fully admitted.
Messrs. Bell, Douglas and Stuart continued the
discusSion.
The subject was then postponed, and the Senate
adjourned.
Hooss.—The Speaker laid before the House the
resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Kentucky
asking that the Bounty Land act of September,
1850, may be so amended as to embrace in its ben-
efita the adult children of soldiers, when there are
no widows and minors; and in favor of a grant of
lands to the State of Kentucky for educational pur
poses. They were referred to the Committee on

The Housa.then went again into Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union, and resumed
the consideration of the bill to establish the office
of Surveyor General in New Mexico, and to grant
donations of lands to actual setlers therein.
After a lengthy discussion, the bill was finally
ordered to be reported to the House-
Several other bills were taken up and discussed.

CITY AND COUNTY ITEMS.
Scactoz ELECTION.-All election for twelve
School Directors, for this city, was held at Fulton
Hall, on Tuesday last, and resulted in the choice of
Messrs. A. L. Hayes, R. Moderwell, E. C. Darling
ton, A. W. Russel, Charles M. Howell; John Metz
ger, Amos Slaytriaker, B.F. Shenk, J. S. Crumbaugh
Joshua Jaca,W illiam Shuler.and George W. Reich
enbach. There were about 750 votes polled, and
the three last named gentlemen were run in oppo
sition to Messrs. Gillespie, .11mmph and Wade, who
were on_the regular ticket.
!Er Whether these last named candidates were.
defeated on account of their religious faith, or be
cause of their foreign birth, or for any other cause
no assigned or apparent, we know not; but if, as
is alleged by some, it was for the reasons assigned
and those alone, we have to regret that such an
element has been introduced amongst us, and es
pecially into the School Board. Heretofore, the
custom has been to call a public meeting, without
distinction of party, for the purpose of nominating
candidates, and the names of gentlemen were
placed in nomination and elected without any re
gard to their political or religious opinions. This
rote was found to work well, and under it the
schools have arrived at-an enviable degree of pros
perity. The same custom was observed prioi to
the late election; and for the first time three of the
candidates, representing different political parties,
though not belonging to the same Church, were de
feated. What, then ; :we ask is to be the result of
this thing, it a man is to be proscribed and hunted
dowh merely because he belongs to a particular
branch of.the Christian Church, or because he hap
pens to have first breathed the free air, of Heaven
in a foreign clime? Are our Common Schools,
which were created for, the benefit df the masses,
without any regard to birth or religion, to become
sectarian in their management and tendency; and
are naturalized foreigners in the community—not
withstanding they are required by law to pay tax
es for the support of the system, like the rest of
our citizens—to be excluded trom,all participation
in their-directory? Is this right—is it Democrat
ic.?
We sincerely deprecate such a state of things in
this community, and trust that all good citizens, of
every political party and of every religious faith,
will set their taces.against the introduction of any
policy into our Common Schools which can only
be prolific of evil, injurious to the cause of popular
education, and destructive of the peace of society.

ST. Loris, May 1, 1854.
On Wednesday, the 26th ult., we were visited
by a most terrific hail storm. About 3 o'clock in
the afternoon it commenced raining Most fMiously,
which soon turned to hail; some of the pellets were
as large, and in fact larger than pigebn eggs The
wind blew a perfect hurricane, the lightnineflashed,
the thunder roared, and the window glass Exposed
to the fury of the hail suffered considerablyi Chim•
neys were blown down, houses unroofed,' steam.
boasa tore from theia moorings and trees uprooted.
One man was killed and several others were badly
injured. Ihe town of Carondelet, about six miles
below the city, suffered still worse—some tenor
fifteen houses were'leveled with the ground, chim•
neys shattered and window glass riddled in great
profusion, but miraculous as it may seem, ho lives
were lost. The fruit and young vegetatioir
vicinity is almost, if not entirely ruined. At Jet
ferson Barracks, twelve miles south of oureity, the
tornado was quite destructive. Upwards. of forty
apple trees were uprooted; a fanning mill was car
ried over a house to a distance of 200 or 300 yards
and torn to pieces; large oak trees twisted off, and
much injury was done in that neighborhoOd. The
extent of the storm and the havoc therefrom is not
yet known, but supposed to have been veryj destruc
tive in its course.
the steamer John M . Faddin sunk on Thursday
last in the Ohio river, about 75 miles belciw Louis
ville, by coming in collision with the steamer S.
F. J. Trabue, by which three lives were lost. The
AfFaddin is a total loss with her entire cargo which
was large and valuable. She was valued at $lO,-
000.
Col. Benton, chagrined sad perplexed at the -ap
pointment of an Anti.Bentonite to the Post Office
of this city, has notified his friends here and else
where, that he will not in future receive any cur
respondence which passes through the St. Louis
office, and that, he has made arrangements with Ad
ams & Co's P.xpress for the transmission of his
mails. I cannot conceive what this last new freak
of Col. Benton means. Certainly the postmaster
here will care very little if his mail matter be for
warded or brought through any other source than
that of Uncle Sam. It will not incommode the gen
tleman who has been so fortunate in receiving the
appointment, or inconvenience or embarrass the
Post Office Department in the least. But, suppose
his object be to prevent Mr. Armstrong trom know
ing who his correspondents are in this city, is it
not reasonable to Col. Benton, as well as to every
other man who is at all familiar with the manage
ment of a post office in a city like mire, that the
post master has nothing to do with the receiving
and forwarding of the mails! Our office here em
ploys ten or fitteen clerks, whose duty it is, and
who are paid good salaries for faithfully perform
ing thar duty, in the making up and distribution
of the mails. I venture to say that Mr. Armstrong,
cares very little who Col. Benton corresponds with,
and moreover, would not probably, in the course
of his whole term, ever see a communication from
him to either of his correspondents, How his friends
will like the nets postal arrangement is yet to be
seen.
The trial of Ward, for the murder of Professor
Butler,in Keutucky, has been concluded, andthe pris
oner acquitted. The evidence in the case has turn
ed out quite different from what was at first im
pressed upon the public mind. The fact cannot be
concealed, however, that the influence of wealth,
and the position and standing of the family of the
murderer in that community, bore heavily In hi
favor on the trial. Kentucky will be strongly cen
sured for thus allowing crime to go unpunished.
Mr. Thos. B. Logan, formerly of Lancaster and
who for many years acted in the capacity of Treas
urer in Bates' Theatre, both in Cincinnati and this
city, died of typhoid fever in New Orleans on the
19th ult. Mr. L. was a promising young man, and
gained many warm friends whilst in this city, who
deeply deplore his death. He possessed consider
able talent, and has written many popular plays
for the drama, in which he frequently personated
a prominent character. He leaves a wife, who 1
believe resides in the northern part of Pennsylva
nia, and his mother is still living in your city.—
This will be sad news for her—but
Life is short and time is fleeting
And our hearts, though strong and brave,
Still, like muffled drums are beating—
Funeral marches to the grave !
Drs. Atlee, Parker, Weidler, Ream and Kenagy
fruit your county, arrived in our city yesterday, all
in excellent health and .fine spirits, to attend the
National Medical Convention which meets in this
city to-morrow. There are a large number of phy
sicians from different parts of the Union in attend
ance, and from present
. appearances the Conven
tion will be very large.
Gen. A. C. Dodge, the distinguished Senator
from lowa, is reaping golden honors, for the noble
stand he to.,k on the Nebraska question—he is
praised and applauded by both political, parties.—
No speech, if 1 may except that of Stephen A
Douglas, has attracted more general attention and.
approbation than that of Senator Dodge. A bright
career is before this gentleman, and at no great
day he will rank as one of our ablest statesman.
Dr. Eads the Democratic candidate lor Superin
tendent of Public Instruction, in the State of Iowa;
has received the handsome and complimentary ma•
jority of 3,000 over hieopponent ! This speaks well
of the lowa Democracy, and it is to be hoped that
at the August election they may triumph over the
Free Soil-Abolition-Whig ticket combined.
"StOle Bull has invested $30,000 in Chicago, and
it is supposed that it is his intention to remove his
countrymen, who have settled in Pennsylvania, to
the West at an early day, where he has secured
employment for them. We hope his colony will
not prove to us as the Mormons did, a selfish,over
bearing and unmanageable people, and possessing
a little power, carry it too far. One hnndred and
fifty emigrants, men, women and children, recently
arrived at Galena, 111., from near Bangor, Maine,
en route for Minnesota. A Galena paper speaking
of them says--'They were the most respectable
looking emigrants that have passed 'through this
city for some time; they will be an honor to any
state or territory, they possess the appearance of
honesty and industry, besides, hey belong to the
Democratic party! Sylvester King, thd stage driver
who robbed the eastern'mailis week, or two since,
near Warren, 111., has been arrested find made full
confession of his guilt. He sai hde took but $l5
and that he delivered up. He will be tried id Chi
cago. The Democrats elected their Mayor in
Quincy by one vote. The Whigs as a matter of
course attribute his election to illegal voting. The
rest of the Democratic ticket, with one or two ex.
ceptions, has been successful.
Business in Oregon is very dull. Gold, the cir
culating medium, is said to be very scarce. In con.
sequen& of this depression of business, property is
being sold there at a great sacrifice. The territo.
rial legislature have enacted a law sy which the
people at the next June election are called upon to
express their views in regard to the formation of a
State government. This election is for the calling
together of a convention for the framing of a State
Constitution: should a majority decide in its favor,
then delegates will be elected to the Constitutional
convention, there to frame a constitution to be sub.
mitted toj the people of that Territory in June
1855. Oregon is knocking at the door for admis
sion into the Union as a State, and if she is 'good
lookinewe will let her in!
