Eighteen Hundred and Fifty. Fons. Theyear Fifty-Fodr, says a contemporary, is nearly at an end. A few days more, - and its shadow will have drifted forever from among us. It has been a good, pleasant year to many Pans, strewing untold blessings on our peens, and crowning life with unfading loveliness. To others it has brought only griefs and sor-: rows, shattering the skeet shrines of Hope, and pulling down from their pleasant niches all the deities of the household. Some it has brought to the marriage altar; others it has carried to the grave; some it has crowned with the halo of conquest, where the reaper's song floats over the summer fields of Life; others it • has shrouded in the shadows of defeat, and rendered desolate by the baptism of Despair. Many a strange thing and wonderful has there been performed in the year 1854 ! The Old ' Year is going rapidly hence—what testinpuy shall itbear of us at the Great Tribunal ? Shall it tell of time unimproved, opportunities wasted, energies sqiiandered ?—or shall it speak our praises as honest men and true, and secure for us the plaudits of the angels ? If we have clone our duty in all things through out the year, we need not fear unfavorable testimony in the Upper Court; but if we have not rightly performed our duties, we should hasten to redeem our errors ere it be too late. The year is almost gone, and they who would earn and receive its blessing, before it drops away, must move quickly—earnestly. There is not a monieut to spare. Canal Commissioner WILLIAM S.

LEIDIANOWF.K.I, is lecturing in Phil adelphia, on Napoleon and his Wars. Col.

His description of the great battle of Borodi no was exceedingly graphic and spirit stirring The Col. is now abouf eighty years of age, but still retains his mental faculties unimpaired, we are told, and hiN the same military bear ing and commanding appearance which he had when we saw him, For many years he has boon au acceptable member of the Minis tory in the Lntheran Church, and' we should judge...hat he isquite as successful in combating the enemies of our holy Religion, as he was in fighting under the banner of the great Cor sican. Would it not be well for some of our firom inent citizens to extend him an invitation to visit this place. and delivers course of lectures here?

FiIIII4IICOII of the State: As the new year • approaches, may we not indulge a hope that the excitemeneand anxi ety that have so long 9haracterizeil,tha bnei ness community, especially an the Urger_ oi . ties, , will subside. - The condition of affairs New York, Philadelphia, taltimore, &c. fortiveral months has been - bad enough, and _ -the -wonder is that no more failures have curred where money:commands from 20 to 30 per cent. per annum, and "which affords such a rich harvest to note shavers. But, despite the storm that has overtaken business circles, the finances of Pennsylvania, under Democratio rule for the last threeyears, exhibit a highly gratifying aspect. The rev enues and expenditures ok the Commonwealth for the year, are thus officially stated : • RECEIPTS From ordinary taxation, Extra taxation and licenses, Total taxation, Revenue from Public Works, Amottqt, 'EXPENDITURES. By Interest on public debt, " Support of public works, (in cluding extra expenditures,) 2,294,000 ." Amount applied to other ob jects, Deduct Receipts Total, Deficit, To meet this, there was a balance in the Treasury, on the Ist inst., unappropriated of ! $1,240,928 72. It will thus be seen that there will be a la7rge balance left, after paying all, expenses, for the support of the State Govern- , ment, Common Schools, State Charities and the Sinking Fund for the gradual liquidation , of the State debt.. It will also be seen from the above that the revenue derived from the public works, not withstanding the great decrease (30 per cent.) in the rates of toll last year over former years, amounts to a very gratifying sum. Had the toll-sheet remained as it was prior to-1854, the receipts from the public works would have been at least $300,000 additional—much more than sufficient to pay the interest on the public debt. The Canal Commissioners will, most probably, restore the original rates—and, if so, the receipts fur the year 1855 will, in all likelilmud, reach two millions and a quarter. There can be no doubt that, if the present wise and eocnomical policy of Govern• Bun- Lea is pursued by his successor, that, in a year or two more ; the revenue from the public works, (now that no snore extraordinary ex penditures are needed for the Mountain Di vision and the North Branch,) will be more than sufficient to pay the interest on the ori ginal cost of their construction, and leave a large portion if the te.x annually assessed um on the people, to bo appropriated to the extin guishment of the public debt. • MORT: ANON. EX=SI A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Washington le.st week, declares it as his firm conviction that "Know-Nothing ism at the South is a misorp.ble sham." Right, as far no it goes; but is'nt it a "miserable sham" at the North, too? Is'nt it a "miser able sham" every where? Is'nt its principles "a miserable sham". e" Is'nt its objects `ta miserable sham"—its leaders a "miserable sham"—their claims to honesty of purpose a "miserable sham;"and worse than all, its "fears for the supremacy of Protestantism, a "miserable sham." If it is not, in all these particulars, a "miserable sham," then there never was a "sham." . Said a disgusted Know' Nothing to us the other day, "my experience in the Order, is, 'that every third man at least is an office-seeker. And as to the honesty of this new party, it is all pretence. There has been moire knavery, more dishonesty, more corruption in its brief existence now, than can he kid at the door of both the old parties put together." And this is undoubtedly so, our friend was right. It is a "miserable sham." Under the banner of Protestantism, with "Fox's Book of Martyrs" for a text book, it seeks to enlist the prejudices of the ignorant and bigoted against Catholicism; not because it believes Protestantism in danger, bat be cause its every "third man" wants office, and to get that office nothing is too sacred for its unholy hands.—Erie Obserrer. "THE FORTUNES OF A DAY."—Six Thousand Dollars Lost iu a Gambling Room."—About a month ago it was announced that a poor mechanic residing in Cincinnati, named Wil liam L. Walker, had received intelligence of the death of au uncle in Baltimore, by which he came into the possession of nine thousand dollars, an,in cash. He immediately went to Baltimore, it is said, and finding that he could not get possession of the money fur six months sold his claim for $BOOO cash, thus losing $lOOO. The'Cincinnati Gazette says: Overjoyed at the success which had -attend ed him, he hastened to his home. Five hun dred dollars was expended the next day after his return in purchasing new furniture, &c., for his house. The old furniture was sent to Woodruff's, and disposed of at auction, the whole being sold for $47, such was its inferior ~ character. Walker, with his little family, rented a house on Longworth street at $3OO a year, and expended quite a sum of money in having it repainted and whitewashed. Walker feeling himself independent enough to play the gentleman, commenced frequent ing, the saloons and restaurants on Third street in the day time, and theatres at night. He made acquaintances speedily: and very liberally treated them' to oysters and other refreshments, and in return his new friends invited him to play cards and billiards at their expense. The new sphere in which he was enjoying himself so eclipsed his better judgment, that he was soon persuaded to visit the gambling rooms. At first he won at near ly every game, and accumulated nearly $3OO. Night after night he continued visiting these sinks of iniquity, one of which is located on. Third street„ until he liad lost over six thous-' and dollars of the fortune he had received but a few weeks since. Walker says that when he lost four thousand dollars of the money he would have stopped, had he not expected to get the snm back again by continuing the game. He has now, however, stopped, and has sought redress in one of our courts of jus tice. Besides the fine furniture, clothing, &c., he purchased, he has only $1,700 of the $BOOO left, but promises hereafter to remain at home, and not squander what is left, but resume his daily labor and attend closely to the interest and welfare of his family.

''''Viiii - ajiiii t iliii)*iii iiiiiiiiiainCial: -- r . - In the House of Representatives,a few days ago, Gen. Walbridge, 'of New York, delivered it - speech in favor of repealing the present dirty off - Foreign coal. • He spoke of coal as "One of the necessaries of life. Ithas become so with; in this lait fifteen or twenty years. PreVibusly the feel usedin domestic affairs was timber, atatthe employment of coal for machinery pur, .•, . , -poses wee - inconsiderable.' The advance in . the mechanic arts, in motive power, by the universal application of steam on railways and ocean and inland navigation, ‘ has entirely changed our relations to this important article —in fact, has revolutionized the age in regard to it. Yet it stands on the statute book of 1846, in schedule 0 of the tariff of that year, as subject to an ad valorem duty of thirty per , cent—equivalent to forty-five per cent, taking 1 into connrthe cost of freight and charges on iits value in the country—and is therein com -1 piny with the luxuries of life—"ale, porter, i beer, and articles embroiderd with gold,silver, or other metal!" This enactment continues, notwithstanding the annual consumption of" coal in the United States has reached, at this period, about 10,000,000 of tons, the present cost of which may be fairly estimated at from $6 to $B-a ton at the place of consumption, showing that the people of the United States are paying for this one of the great necessaries of life between 60 and 80 millions of dollars per annum, under a tariff levied upon them which, as hereinbefore stated, is full 45 per cent protection. Nor is this protective prin ciple of legislation respecting this great neces sary of life of recent origin. • For we find, since the formation of the government a heavy restriction has been constantly laid upon this indispensable article." Again, he said "Coal has been forcibly described as the indispensa ble aliment of industry. It is a primary ma terial, engendering force, giving a power su perior to that of natural agents, such as wa ter, air, &c.. produce. It is to industry what oxygen is to the lungs, water to the plant, nourishment to the animal. It is to coal we owe our steam and gas. It replaces in the workshops and domestic hearths the charcoal which had become too costly under the last head; in our northerly latitudes it is destined always to acquire increasing and more gene ral use. The employment of coal will behence_ forward no other than a question of cheapness, and in the present age the first interest of in dustry is above all to see ameliorated the ways of communication, to lower the tolls up on the routes and canals." Towards the close of the speech the follow ing striking passage occurs, with which we close our extracts, regretting that we have not room for others equally forcible : The means for the extraction of this one of the great necessaries of life are at hand, and all that human ingenuity and enterprise could desire, and from these rich deposits a stream of wealth, now swollen, flows into the coffers of the producer. When we reflect that that i article under a high protective tariff is be , coming and to ii great extent has become, an ! indispensable anent in every household—that it is daily growing into universal use for all domestic purposes—that it is indispensable in i the machinery which fashions with artistic 1 skill and elegance the-implements used and necessary in every family—that it is equally needed and employed in the manufacture of ' farming utensils and tools in the mechanic arts—in travel by land and by water—indeed for all the arts of peace, and equally indispen sable in the art of war, and for all the means of national defence, is there any reason why there should be an oppressiveand unnecessary tax upon that which so seriously affects the interests of every citizen of the republic? Every principle of justice demands that the i shackles on this trade, which the existing tariff imposed should be stricken off, and that the traffic of this important article should be opened to the freest competition. $1,510,000 1,790,000 $3,300,000 1,918,000 $5,218,000 $2,076,000 1,224,000 $5,594,000 5,218,080 $376,000 FINANCES OF PEI‘'NSYLVANIA.—The State Treasurer of Pennsylvania has made his an nual report Er.. t!IP fiscal year ending on the 30th ult. The receipts of the year, (including a previous balance on hand of $724,417,) amounted to $0,678,088, and the expenditures to 55,424,983, leaving an available balance on hand on the 30th ult. of $1,240,928, against 5724,417 at the close of the fiscal year 1853, being an increase of $516,511. The increase form canal tolls is $24,369, and it is supposed would have reached half a million had not the tolls been reduced 30 per cent. The Philadel— phia Ledger referring to this report says: The temporary loans during the year just closed is only $735,435, and of this sum $19,- 000 has already been paid, and $lOO,OOO more will be paid in a few days. The tem porary loans made in 1853 amounted to 84,- 205,333, to which, if we add $104,004 prem ium on loans, gives an aggregate from that source of $1,309,337. With a greatly lessened amount of loans however, wa have the very handsome balance of 81,240„928, with two month's receipts, which will probably equal expenditures. before the time for payment of the next semi-annual interest. State tax payers will feel gratification at this exhibit.

Sanborn, of An i clover, writes to the Boston Medical and Sur!. gical Journal quite an interesting letter in favor of wearing the beard. He takes the ground that the custom of shaving the beard among nations of men is always attended or followed by a marked deterioration in the physical organization, not only of the exist ing race of people, but of the race to come, and quotes examples from history to support his conclusions. He says that the aboriginak inhabitants of our soil and climate were onc l e brave, powerful and numerous ; but they waged war against nature by uprooting th 3 beard from their faces and consequently grew more and more effeminate with every general tion, until they became an easy prey to their enemies and, are themselves uprooted froM the face of the earth. He cites the Chinese!, too, as a people, who have been shorn of theii locks and of their strength together, till, as l a nation, they have only a mere nominal exis tence ; and he says of the Abrahamic race, whose creed it is to preserve unmarred," the corner of their beards," that he never saw te case of pauperista, premature physical debili ty, or premature disease; among them. 1113 says : , . " The habit of sitaving is not of ' origin diJ vine,' as thousands seem to think, but quit the reverse. The ancient patriarchs, the hol prophets,Christ and his disciples,and the earl - er and probably purer Christians, deemed It a violation of the laws of their nature. Alex ander enforted it upon his army that the y might thereby gain a bloodier conquest. Th nobility of Span-appted it through courtesy to their beardless p'rince. The mass were df course subjected to the humiliating procesi, but expressed their repugnance to the out rage in the vfell known proverb—` Since' have lost our beards, we have lost our soul ' —that is, ourselves, our identity. We a rather soulless slaves, than the men o Maker made and designed us to be." Dr. Sanborn concludes with calling upon every freeborn son s of America to shake off ail conventionalities which oppress humanity, and especially such as insidiously tend tb vitiate and depress the true manliness of man, and he implores all mothers, sisters and wings to second these efforts and exercise their goo'd taste in creating and sustaining such purely American habits and. fashions, as will to the end of time render them and their descendanis more excellent in all the relations of life. j THE HaItESTEID BILL.—GENERAL DAWSOS'S SUBSTITUTE.—The following is a synopsis of the bill offered by Hon.

I left Poro LeaV, enworthinit Satniday evening, -.the 18th, and to•Sheltorneko, the Mort Man Mistdon, where I remained until next morning. Leav ing there I proceeded down the militarS , road, crossed Saw river at the Quaker Mission, six miles west of Westport', where myself and pony were comfortably quartered for the night. This - mission which is under the charge of Da vie Thayer and Richard Mendenhall, is well conducted, and has attached to it a boarding school, in which there are some eighteen or twenty Shawnee children being educated. Tuesday, at noon, I ilfound myself at the Miami Indian linage, and concluded to call on Mr. Moore, the Agent of that Tribe, as well as the Weas, Peorms, Kaskaskia.s and Pian kashas, and found him', to _be the Hon. Moore, formerly a leading Democratic politi cian in New York. These tribes do not num ber altogether more than about four hundred souls. They are fast passing away, are read, ing their doom in the setting sun. Being com pelled tai go to Pottawattomie creek, 1. here crossed the Osage river, and having no road to follow lust myself. An Indian whom I met, but who could nut talk English, voluu teered to Show Ins the place I was seeking Ow, for one dollar. But the Indian, by his signs, 'made me take the wrong road, and that night I had the pleasure of sleeping upa the prai rie, with no covering save a small horse blan ket, and the starry canopy of Heaven. As s;tu as day began to break, puny was re mounted, and turning his head to the east L made an effort to retrace my steps to the vil lage; but striking a due east course, ur rather following a road running in , that direction, missed it, and about 9 o'clock arrived at the house ufßattis Peoria, the Miami interpreter. Gut a pretty fair breakfast, had my puny fed, and by paying two dollars gut a guide who took me across the Osage just above its con fluence with Pottawattomie creek. In the forks of these two, 1 found% number of east ern men, busily engaged in erecting-substah tial log houses. They purpose laying out a town there, which will be called Osawattomie. The spot is a most beautiful one, being on the seven mile reserve, where it contemplated to place the Capital of the Indian government, the United States ;lane time purposed organizing . in, KALIISIISI Mr. Orville C. Brown, the Agent of dot Company, is a man of much intelli gence. I dined with them upoit porter house steak, broiled, and mince pie. 'file sun was about tin hour high when 1 lett foe Sherman's, the place of election in that district. It was eight miles across the prairie, and no road. Night came un before I got to the neighborhood in which he lived, alld .41 arriving at the Pottawat tomtit crossing, • ,ae a 11,111004 tia• 1.,.1.., but e,aild hea.r nothing id reply lie ill.i iii Inv owl, voice eitily out I /1111:it: turning ii‘ in, laid down iu !uui ;kirk hut, and trig 1 ro sleep, but the a .1 the howling of the prairie wolves jevienteo we. At early dawn a etantiLleer e:‘,we..i, which was au intimat,on that a house wa , not far,distant. Three quarters of a mile fr,ll the hut was Sherman's, where baying refreshed the inner man, again I took my way across the prairies. That night I stopped with a Ihmily who are certainly entitled to the sou briquet of the dirty family. To be ,able to eat at their table it became necessary for me to strut toy eyes and ye it Wad. The table cloth was a fix simile, of a dirty house cloth, and on goihg to bed, I had a pralrahl demon stration of the fact that the baby had lain in it. To eat breakfast was next thing to im possible, and a bite or two of some prairie . chicken fried had to be quickly followed by a sup of water, as there was great danger it would not go down. The following night at 7 o'clock, the lights at Fort Scott burg upon my view, and after partaking of a substantial supper I was soon ensconced between the clean sheets of mine host, Col. Arnott. The country over which I' passed is high, rolling prairie—but It cannot compare with the land in this and the Delaware country.— The streams are well icooded and susceptible of supporting a heavy population. There is lime rock found there in great abundance, sufficient indeed to enable the farmers to fence their farms with. Upon little Sugar e'reek there is a vein of cannel coal, four feet.thick, and it is said upon Mine creek, both of which are tributaries of the Mairis de Cygnes, there is plenty of lead ore. While at the Fort, Cu!. Arnott presented me with a fine specimen of lead ore,found upon one of the streams empty inginto the Neosho river. It was almost pure. Nothing worthy of note transpired between Fort Scott and this place. I met a very large number of Missouri fire eaters going into the territory to vote; men who have no more right to do so than has a citizen of Fennsylvagia, who resides there. That these men will at tempt to violate the purity of the ballot box there is no doubt. But we shall see what we shall see. More anon, KANSAS. Leavenworth City, Dec. 4, 1854 Geo. Sanderson, Esq.—Dear Sir : In my letter from the Shawnee Mission, I stated that on my way from Fort Scott I met a large number of Missouri fire eaters, going into the territory to vote, and expressed the opinion that they would attempt to violate the purity of the ballot box. This opinion was correct, for never in toy life did I witness conduct, so shameful and outrageous, as was that of some four hundred Platte cu. Mo. rowdies, who came to this precinct, took' possession of the polls, mind many of them perjured themselves by swearing that they were actual settlers.— Missouri ,courage was here exhibited. It con sists in a half pint of whiskey, a Cult's revol ver, and a bowie knife ! Men who were from the free States were denounced as Abolition ists, and numbers of the chivalry openly de clared they would rather see Kansas sipk to 'ell, thin that it should become a free State. More than fifty of the friends of Cul. Flen niken, who was the National Democratic can didate, did not vote, for they were peaceable men and did not wish to raise a disturbance at the polls. Two of the Judges appointed by Gov. Reeder, the Rev. David Z. Smith and Col. B. H. Twumbly, were fair, honest, hon orable men; but the other appointed by these fellows olaiming to be settlers was really a citizen of Platte co., and was ready to assist them in perpetuating frauds upon the ballot box. He was selected in the place of one of the judges who feared the Missouri influence and would not-act. Messrs. Smith and Twom bly were firm and decided, notwithstanding they were fired at through the window, and in I spite of the threatening letters , that were writ ten them. In my hearing, some of them swore they would swear to anything the judges asked them, but vote they would. They even attempted to drive men from the ground who were opposed to Whitfield, their candidate, and succeeded in one instance. About half past 4 o'clock they declared that no one should vote without their permission, which was a greater outrage than all the rest. One young man who was determined to vote, an' actual settler too, had recourse to strata gem to get his vote. ,Iluzzaing for Whitheld, at the top of his voice, _until he attracted' at tention,:he swore he would not stay any hun ger unless they gave him a chance; when they picked him up, and raising him over the heads of the crowd got him to the window. The instant he got there he changed his Whitfield ticket, forlone on which was printed the name of Robert P. Flenniken, and got it in just as it has discovered by them., They dropped him like a hot potato, and had it not been for some of them who appreciated the "sell," he would have been roughly handled. And this was not the only poll at, which these outrages were committed, but at almost every one in the territory. Clay, Jackson and Platte coun tiesOlissouri, furnished us with about two thousand voters. , Kind in them. wasn't it? In one precinct, known:ai 110, in which there are only from fifty - to sixty voters.— Whitfield received a large majority. Col. A. J. Isacks, the Attorney General, says that all the children 'in the district had the measles, and,prevented the men from attending the -election, as Whitfield only received in that district six hundred and ten. I rather guess by the same rule in the test of the territory, all the babies must have had the hooping cough. Will the North rest quiet under this out rage? Will thep permit us to be bro W-beat and bully-ragged by men who profess to be the soul of honor and chivalry, but whose con duct proves theui to be blackguards, ruffians, and perjured ? Will she not send us five thousand, nay ten thousand . legal voters whO will dare stand up for their rights? Kan _sae will, beyond all doubt, be afree•State. •The violent course of the fire eaters, 'their fierce denunciations of every man:who cannot sub . . scribe to their peculiar notiohs, will not deter American Citizens from settling this beautiful territory. - They know and dare maintain their rights, all , the self-defensive assocciations to the contrary r notwithstailding. Because Gov. Reeder has not declared himself to be a fire -eater he does:not &tit Missouri, but he krinws and feels that hia co u rse is approved by his people; he knows that they have confidence n his devotiou to the interests of the territory. \ He is trulya national man, and his appoint in ht was the most judicious that President Pi e could have made. .

Insu rance Companies, which haiksustained heavy losses iliiring the last two modths. The Mis sissippi iver has swallowed np\millions upon millions f dollars in the past y`ear, and. still it seems ever to be satisfied, for 't is almost ° daily op uini , its huge jaws and taking down thousan s , 1 ., of dollars in property, and alas, too frequently many valuable lives: Thikmight ty strewn has much to answer fur ; yht it is the pride and glory of the Great West\and sunny South—its importance, usefulness and source from which the whole West now !milts to for the immense amount of produce consu med here and exported, has no parallel in the country's history. Its utility and well-known facilities for importing to and exporting from the Valley of the Mississippi, is known throughout the world. Its history has al ready been written ; its facilities to the trade and commerce of the Union is still on the in crease and its tide of; death and .destruction rolls thoughtlessly on. Ou Saturday morning last, the steamer !Endo° struck a snag a few miles above Cairo, tearing an immense hole in her bottotfi, when she was run upon a bar, and went down in six feet water. She wa- , valued at $7,000 and not insured. She had a fair cargo aboard, and much of that stored away iu the hold will prove a total loss ; the greater part of that, on deck will be saved in a damaged condition. Loss on freight about $25,000: on boat, $7,000. The boat was old and in all probably an attempt will be made to raise her. The passengers were all saved. On Wednesday last the steamer Grand Prai rie ruin New Orlean to this port,' ran upon a log near St. Genevieve, and broke in two, and sunk iu eight feet water. Her cargo con sisted of groceries and merchandize, most of which will belt total loss, as will also the +oat. She was valued at $lO,OOO, and insured fur $5,000 in two offices in this city. The steam er llonduras took off' her passengers. No lives are reported as having been lost. A ru m,r is also current that the steamer Sallie Woa, bound fur the south, had sunk near Turkey Island. N. boat has been up since, and the report has not been confirmed. Enl=!l9 Great interest is now manifested in the elec tion pi a Senator from lowa. The LegiSla ture of that State met last Monday. The Democrats have a majority of one in the Sen ate, but one member being absent, there was a tie. It is thought that Ebenezer Cook, a Whig and decided Anti-Nebraska man, will succeed Senator Dodge, the present able rep resentative from that State. Fitz Henry War ren is Mr. Cook's competitor. The Dubuque{ Herald say§ "if Warren is elected the State' ought to go in mourning for seventy-five days." And so say I. _ An official order from the General Land Of fice for the postponement of all the land sales in Mitisouri for the present and succeeding month. has been received, in, consequence of representations going to shew that .a large number of meritorious actual settlers, on ac count of short crops, and other untoward cir cumstances, would be unable to pay fur the lands. Consequently, the offices are all closed. The Register at Fayette, in this State gives the total sales of land at that office in the months or September, October and November at 153,9'35 acres, producing 543,737. From 1000 to 1500 applications are still on file, un disposed of. Another attempt is now made and pending iu the City Council for an extension of the present city limits. According to the plan contemplated it will embrace. an area of '12,- 000 acres—equal to an extent of 11f miles from north to south, and breadth - from east to west, of two and a half .miles. The excite ment arising out of the acquittal i.tf W. A. Jackson has somewhat subsided, though the jury in the case have made several attempts in the public prints to clear their skirts of the foulcharges broughtagainstthem. Theyall seem to acknowledge that gambling was going on in the room in which they A , ere locked, but deny their drinking and carousing about the streets with the murderer. Oue of our police officers received a letter through the post office, enclo sed with one fur Jackson, threatening him if he did not leave the city. The letter was sent to Jackson, but what action he has taken in the matter, lam not informed. It was no doubt intended to frighten him and rid the city of his presence, which accords with the wishes of the entire cuummunity. A prisoner named Michael Pheley, died iu the Galena, 111., jail on Sunday last- He was sentenced to the Penitentiary for 18 months for stealing a watch. A few days ago a horrible murder was com mitted at Waterloo,lllinois. The circumstances are about as follows: A German, whose name is not had frequent differences with his wife, and usually ended in threats on his part. One day the wife being apprehensive from his con duct took refuge with their daughter, who was married and living in Waterloo. That night the man armed himself with a knife, followed her, and when he reached the door, knocked, and the daughter opened it to see who was there, when the inhuman wretch seized the daughter, no doubt in a mistake for his wife, and plunged the knife four times in breast, either one of the stabs was sufficient to cause instant death. 'The murderer was arrested and is now in jail. ; It appears that the Whig• of the 7th dis trict of Illinois,.are determined to elect Archer. They now say that there is a mistake of 60 votes in Clay county in Archer's favor, and if it can. be established will elect him by 59 votes over Allen. Just so, now let them establish it. Col. Richardson, M. C., from the Quincy (Ill.) District, announces that he will retire to private life after he shall have served out the term for which he is-elected. Senator Atchison of this State and Gen J. W.. Whitfield, delegate elect from Kansas, were in this city a few days since, on their way to Washington. The first bridge across the Mississippi river will be the wire suspension bridge at St. An thony, the head waters the Mississippi. Eight cables, containing about 1000 strands of wire have been thrown over the stream, and cross ing will soon be done upon it. This structure is being put up at a cost of $60,000, and may well be considered a great and important achievement of the enterprise of a Territory not yet ten years old. The Minnessotians are a great and enterprising people.
