IMASII2III TOPT2I6IIII , DNLEGATE The following resolution, offered by Beoj. &by, Esq., Ran unanimously adopted at the Democratic delegate meeting, at Neffsville, on Saturday: [Similar reso . littions were passed at a number of the districts tiiruughout the county. J l.Cesolved, in the language of the County Commit ee, that no man is entitled to vote at this election, Who is connected with any secret political socie.y of whatever name; and we respectfully request any person adhering to the order ur association called .now-Notniugs, to refrain from interfering with our deliberatilms." And if any person shall offer his iote'at this election who id iu connection with the Xnow-Nuthings. we •• denounce him as guilty of de• Ception, falsehood_and.trautt."

Nichols, Alex ander .I.ll'Cloy. • so far es heard from, the delegate elections have all come off satisfactorily. " Sam" has been no where in the contest. The 11. S. Senstto' question The question as to how or by whom Penn- Sylvania shall be represented in the Senate of the United States, is one which must be met by the next Legislature, inasmuch as the last one failed to elect. The people should bear this in mind in making their nominations for the Assembly during the present summer and ensuing fall, if they desire to see the Old Key etone occupy the commanding position in that body which her eminence in the Confederacy of States justly entitles her to. If we wish to be respected iq that exalted body of legisla tors, and have an honorable name and a place 'in the councils of the Nation, we must select from the many able men we have amongst us, :that one who by his talents and virtues will 'shed most lustre upon the station, and thus secure for himself and his State the esteem and confidence of others. Above all, we must se lect an honest man—honest 'in politics as Ni eI 1 as in every thing else—if we wish to keep up 'the credit of our honest old Commonwealth.— No mousing, corrupt politician, such as some of those who are aspiring to a seat in that body, should for one moment be thought of.— No petty bank cashier, whose highest exhibi t don of talents has been to corrupt.themorah and purchase the votes of venal legislators— no patent medicine vender, who has grown immensely rich by plundering the pockets of his infatuated dupes to pay for his filthy nos trums, should be a representative of the great State of Pennsylvania. Will our Democratic friends throughout tht State see to this matter in time. The season for making nominations fur the Legislature is rapidly approaching—and we have no doubt that trickery and stratagem, deception and rascality are already at work to accomplish their nefarious purpose. These things are not done openly, in the light of day; but stealth; ly and underhandedly—for this is the only possible way by which dishonest inert can hope to obtain power. By means of their un principled creatures in the different counties —especially the Democratic counties—they succeed sometimes in packing Conventions, and get their miserable tools nominated, and thus force the people to vote for them because they are the nominees of the party, no matter how unworthy or undeserving they are of their suffrages. There is but one proper way to prevent such a state of things--and that is fur the people to attend the delegate elections, and select such • men, and none other, as are known to be honest, and who will faithfully reflect their will when they meet in the County or nomi nating Conventions. We hope our brethren of the press, throughout the State, will lose no , time in directing the attention of the people to this important subject. The Virginia Election. Complete returns show that Governor IYlsr's majority will exceed 10,000 V . ! Truly this is a great victory—one which will be felt in its wholesome influences from the centre to the circumference of the Union. To use the language of a Washington letter writer, we say: "The nation owes a debt of gratitu le to gr. Wtss, for his hold, fearless and eloquent defense of Democratic principles and maemres, and his masterly and irresisti ble exposition of the anti-republican, wicked purposes of the dark lantern party:" Perhaps no other man in Virginia could have fought the battle in defence of the Con stitution„ under all the circumstances, with the signal success that has crowned his her culean efforts, and it would really seem , that the circumstances which brought him into the field, at the present fearful crisis, were truly providential. The election of Mr. WISE to the guberna torial chair of the Old Dominion has effectual ly killed off Know-Nothingism—so far as its power for mischief is concerned—and makes the success of the Democratic party, at the next Presidential election, a fixed fact. Had the Nichts Wissers succeeded, as they confident ly anticipated and predicted they would, in Virgitria, the other Southern States would have frllov i !ed her example, and the pestilent heresy must have swept over the land from the Aroostook to the- , Bk Grande, and from the Atlantic to the Paeitte, in one unbroken column, more direful in its effects than the Simone of the desert. But thanks to the sterling Demicraey of that glorious old Com monwealth, ancl to their accomplished and in defatigable standard hearer, the desolating tide o: ,roolerance, bigotry and proscription,. with their twin sister abolitionism, has been . arrested in its mad career, ancl;the. whole country- will rise from its deep degradation, with buoyant prospects for • the future, and a stronger determination than ever-to uphold the principles•enupciated and established by the hones and sages of the Revolution. God bless Virginia—the "Mother of States and of Statesmen." May her sun never be obscured ; but may she always remain as a beacon light to her sisters, to call-them back from error, and point them forward in the way they should go—the rottd that leads to peace, union and prosperity. ger Tho steamship Baltic left New York. t rilYeelnesday last, for Liverpool, with 251 assengers, and $1,600,000 in specie.

Here are the main portions of-the-Advertiser's -article : - Among the crowd of human beings on board that proud vessel, was one poor woman with an infant daughter. Her passage and that of her%daaghter_were -paid by_ the_ rich .and: powerful Commonwealth of Massachu setts. She left our free and happy shores unwilling and reluctant. She went away against her own free will, constrained by force of the civil authorities of the State. Her cries, as she begged not to be thus cruelly banished, were, we are told, most piteous, and tuch as to cause the accidental witnesses of the scene to burn with indignation. The offence of this unfortunate woman for Rhich she was thus violently and ignomin iously expelled from Massachusetts, was the jiict that she was burn in Ireland, and is :ailed a . pauper. Her infant daughter, who loconsemusly shares her mother's sad fate, is L native of die Commonwealth of Masssachu setts, but she too partakes of that hard lot of luverty which it has been reserved for Mas achusetts to make a crime ; and a crime vhich Massachusetts punishes as no. (Abel ! ;rime is punished in America—by banishment —banishment from one's native land. The name of this victim, to. . ulerance is Mary Williams ; her infant, Liridget, is but e 7 few weeks old. About thirt3.- ive paupers, perhaps inure, were sent away at the same time in the same vessel, at the ex ,enso of the State. Those facts we learn from in eye witness of the scene, and from other certain authentic sources of information. The rendition of Anthony Burns from Massachusetts to Virginia, under the law of die United States designed to give effect to in express stipulation of the Constitution, aused an immense excitement in this com munity.. The rendition of Ma!ry Williams tad her infant Bridget, under our own law, 4 our own authorities, scarcely caused it remark. He was sent back under a law of the United States, binding on the people ;if Nlasstichusetts, whether agreeable or dis tgreeable. She was sent under one of our own laws, which the same Legislature that elected Henry Wilson to the Senate and voted to remove Judge Luring from the bench, might repeal in a day. lie was sent wick to the care of a master, bound in law to feed, clothe and protect him. She was sent to be landed on a foreign shore, where .here may not be a single person to know ir care that she has arrived. He was sent sway, a strong man with stout limbs, able to bear misfortune and hardship, should they fall upon him, with some degree of firmness. She was sent away , a weak wo man, with an infant a few weeks old, de manding all her care, and with nobody to protect or assist her. The Treasury of the United States bore the expense of the ren .lition of Anthony Burns. The Treasury of Massachusetts paid for the rendition of Mary Williams. But then he was a negro, 'a man and a brother,' while she was only a white woman ; a woman and a mother! The New York Herald, which helped the Massachusetts Know-Nothings into power, says of the forcible extradition of Mary Williams and her infant— "Can anything be found more revolting to every feeling of humanity in all the hor rid and disgusting Massachusetts blue law legislation of two hundred years ago ? If this be Puritanism, what is barbarism ?—lf this be Christianity, what is Paganism this be liberty, what is despotism ? If this is the oospitality of a refined civilization, the wild Apaches, who drink the blood of their enemies, nave beets wofully libelled. They are ac euunted savages, yet they are at least true to :heir own race. They have neither churches, colleges nor schools, yet they are evidently competent to teach our excessively Puritan ical brethren of Massachusetts the first principles of Christianity and civilized soci ety." They Die Hard The Know-Nothings of Virginia are terribly in the dumps since their overwhelming defeat on the 24th ult., and by way of consoling themselves, are more furious than ever in their abuse of Mr. WISE. The following precious morceau is extracted from the Rich amnd Post, the Know-Nothing organ of that City, after the result was known : 'Fellow-citizens, if they had given us a gat- Ileman to preside over this once proud Com monwealth, it might have been some allevia tion to the infliction. But they have selected the worst specimen of their party—a ranting lemagogue, an unprincipled renegade, a tru euient bully, whose manner, conversation, and general bearing, denote the brawler which his history proves that he is—a foul mouthed slanderer, an unblushing utterer of falsehoods, the very scurf, scraping and re fuse of the political stye. They were deter mined that no circumstances of degradation should be wanting to the blow which they designed to inflict upon the honor of Virginia. Such infamous vituperation and abuse of one of the most eloquent and accomplished statesmen of Virginia, i 4 characteristic of the foul party from whom it emanates. It is a perfectly harmless effusion, however, and on ly ip.es to show the wretched and hopeless condition of the band of proscriptionists and plunderers who, in one short year, have brought indelible disgrace on the hitherto fitir escutcheons of several of the States of this Union. The result of the Virginia eleetion has put an effectual extinguisher upon all the Know- Nothing prospects, not only there but else where—hence the wailing and lamentation of the Nichts Wisser organs. tel.. WILLIAM S CAMPBELL.—This gentle man,, so favorably spoken of by many of our exchanges as a prominent candidate for Canal Commissioner, popped into our sanctum quite unexpectedly, on Friday morning last. He is in excellent health and spirits, and expresses great confidence in his prospects for the nom ination. He is a thorough-going, radical Dem ocrat—a man of intelligence and decided bus iness qualifications, and should he be nomina_ ted and elected, will be, in every respect a worthy successor to that sterling and incor ruptible Democrat, Col. Hopkins. &lir A number of prominent Democrats and Whigs assembled in this city on Thursday last, for the purpose of making arrangements to form a fusion ticket to be supported by all op posed to the proscriptive order of Know-Noth ings, at the next election. The only difficulty in the way seems to be, as to, who are to have places upon it, and the proportion to be award ed to each party. , M..

FINE CATTLE.-A lot of 114 beef cattle, of very superior quality. fed by Mr. Brillinger, of York county, were driv.en through this city, on Thursday, on their way to the Philadelphia market, by Messrs, Werntz & Brubaker, dro vers, who, we understand, purchased them of Mr. Brillingar for a little more than $14,000, or about $ll5 - each. _ • FATAL RENCONTRE.—BiIkiIIIOre, May a .

DEAR FLORiNCE-I regret exceedingly tny inability to participate isi the proceedings to- night as a speaker, as so kindly and flattering ly desired by the Committee, bat I hope I shall not, for that reason, be lost to the spirit of the occasion. Virginia first:triumoed over the insidious and seductive influence of Knew- Nothingism; but Pennsylvania, with her can didate for Governor, was the first to declare a war of extermination against the heresy, and up.to this hour a Pennsylvania Governor has the only official paper on record discarding the doctrines of the "dark lantern oligarchy. " Your friend, • Wit.BIGLER.. To iron. T. B. Florence. Telegraphic communications also passed be tween the meeting. and a similar one held in Tauun tny fl.ll , few York. the same evening. The crowd being so immense, it wli found necessary to erect another sta . ge on the south ern portion of the Square, where a second n:tet .ing was heId—ANDREW Mmi.ka. Esq., presid ing. This meeting was addressed by Messrs. Young, Powers, Ringwalt, and Wright. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed at both meetings. During the afternoon of the day a salute of one hundred guns was fired from Smith's Is land, and a national salute by Cul. Murphy front a steamboat which passed in front of the City. 119... As a specimen of the speeches that are made by some of the Missouri demagogues who claim the right to govern Kansas, we ex tract the following, delivered at St. Joseptr by MR. STRINGFELLOW, a few days previous to the Territorial election: "I tell you to mark every scoundrel among you that is the least tainted with free-soilistu or abolitionism, anti exterminate him. Neither give nor take quarter from the damned rascals. I propose to mark them in this house, and on the present occasion, so you may crush them out. To those who have qualms of conscience as to violating laws, State or National, the time has come when such impositions must be disregarded, as your rights and property are in danger ; and I ads'ise you, one and all, to enter every election district in Kansas, in de fiance of Reeder and his vile myrmidons, and rote at the point of the bowie-knife and revolv er. Neither give nor take quarter, as our cause demands it. It isenough that the slave holding interest wills it, front which there is no appeal. What right has Gov. Reeder to rule Missourians in Kansas? Ills proclama tion and prescribed oath must be repudiated. It is your interest to do so. Mind that slave ry is established where it is not prohibited." In the same speech Stringfellow declared that, in less than ten days, "the City of Law rence would be destroyed and REEDER would cease to exist." MAssAcuusErrs.—Loos AT HER!—The Leg islature which has outraged and dishonored the Old Bay State, once as patriotic as any other in the Union, by setting her in open opposition to the National Constitution, is thus spoken of by the Boston Courier: "We hazard this opinion, that history will show the Legislature which has just adjourned to have been most extravagant, the most drunken, the most impious, and themost leeh erous—and yet one of its champions elaims for it a degree of purity never before claimed for a Massachusetts Legislature, which, until now, has been above the suspicion of impurity, un due extravagance, and small sprceing at the public expense." STATEMENT OF AN EYE WITNESS.-At the meeting at Faneuil Hall, last evening, Mr. Edward A. Vise, a member of the late House of Representatives, made a speech, and, among other things, said that he was a member of the Committee of Roads and Bridges of that body—that the committee had travelled large ly over the State—that on one occasion they were attended with supernumeraries—that the entire party wunbercd fifteen—that he order ed some spiritsthat of the .filleen, thirteen drank bountifully, and of the thirteen, twelve voted for the new liquor law ! ! This is the statement of an eye-witness, and is undoubtedly true. This reminds us of an other piece of hypocrisy. A member of the Boston delegation, who voted for the liquor law excused himself to a constituent by say ing, "I voted for the bill which makes jurors judges of the law as well as the facts in crimi nal cases." rter. Flour has become a mere drug in the markets of California. The Chilian importa tions, after paying $1,35 duty, have been sold recently, at San Francisco, for less than five dollars per barrel. Under such circumstances, it is not to be wondered at ihat the merchants of San Francisco have commenced the expor tation of breadstuffs to New York. At the last accounts a clipper ship, :of 1500, tons was loading with wheat, and others are to follow. This is a plain indication that the people on the Pacific coast are no longer in need of breadstuffs from the eastern States. They are able to supply themselves, and if any deficien cy should occur, they can supply it more cheaply by importations from Chili than froth New York, Philadelphia and Boston. INDIAN WAR ON THE PLAlNS.—Accounts from the plains, received through various chan nels, agree that the Indian tribes are ass..m ing a very hostile attitude aainst the whites. Several tribes combined, numbering three thousand warriors, have thrown up fortifica tions at the course of the Grand River. It is reported, however, that the savages seem in clined to act on the defensive, although the provocations made are of such a formidable character as to leave no doubt but that an in discriminate slaughter of the whites will (fo cus the first favorable opportunity.

The North American of Thursday, has the following pointed and justly severe remarks in relerenee to the attempt by the Allies to smoke the Russians to death with poisonous of 0 . But we come now to a feature in the late advises from the seat of war, which, we con fess, has staggered our credulity more than anything that has ever reached us from that quarter. It is announced in a despatch from thineral Canroberc, that Om Allies have been throwing cumoty/et.v, or stink-pots, into die enemy:fortifications, and that the measure has been einiumid sueceesful., -tl4.s. lx t-rcrs,iriiiViTS the con enipi: of the civilized world. It is a mode of warfare to which a brave and honorable adversary would nut de scend, which even a savage might be ashamed to employ. The fortunes of the besieger:- must, indeed, be desp-erate, when they are driven to expedients so unworthy of this age. Defeat, the most absolute and mortifying, would be preferable, one should think, to a generous enemy, ro a triumph achieved by such cowaidly and intaumus means. Tu conquer a gallant foe, whom the ;usual arts and implements of military science cannot vanquish, by smoking him to death with poi:unions gases, is an act at which the moral sense of tins century must revolt. If the balls front the allied lines cannot batter down the walls of Sebastopol: if the shells thrown into them cannot reduce the Russians tu capitu late or surrender; if they cannot he invested and subdued by farhine; or, if they cannot be bravely assailed and carried by storm, then we submit, it were better to abandon the siege altogether, than to attempt its conquest by raining into the fortress a shower of stench-balls, aiM destroying the garrison by asphyxia. We have turned with disgust:from seem.. ' the hunter, who had chased his prey to its den, pile a burning brush-heap at the entrance f the iefuge, either to force the poor brute fbrth again, or co kill it by suf focation ; but that proceeliog is tolerable, in comparison with the base in humanity at tempting the capture of a citadel in war by strangling its forces with deadly fumes emit ted from smoking missiles. • PAMPHLET POSTAGE.—A late number of the Boston Herald imblishes the correspondence between the Post Office authorities of the Uni ted States and Great Britain respecting the re duct Mil of postage on r pamphlets and maga zines in transit between the respective coun tries, with the following editorial comments: "The letter of .Mr. King is to the point, and places this question in a clear and distinct light before the American people. Judge Campbell, the Postmaster General, and his assistant, Mr. King, are abundantly able to unravel all the cunningly-devised scheMes of Great Britian to impose upon the Post Office Department of the United States the task of transporting English books iu bulk as well as in pa,kages, and thus perform a service fur for them which now passes through our custom houses and is transported over our railroads as freight. Would not this be a nice little ar rangement for the publishers of London, if they could induce the Post Office of our coun try to do their freighting btisiness for little or nothing, besides the savings to them of duties, and making our government the instrument of bringing them in direct competition with American publishers? Their next move will probably be to ask the department to trans pi it their manufactured goods through the post office. The idea that the English govern ment will prohibit the transit of American publications of small size through their coun try to other fin•eign countries unless the Post Office of the United States will do their freight ing business fbr them, is in perfect keeping with the illiberal and unjust demands which characterize all the doings of that government, and we rejoice to know that so long as the present Postmaster General remains at the head of the department no such propositions will be entertained by our government." AMERICANS RULING AMERICA.—On the oc casion of a serenade to Hon. 11. A. Wise, on Saturday evening week last, a large number of Democrats assembled in front of Brown's hotel, in Washington city. Mr. Wise was in troduced to the auditory from the balcony of the hotel, and was greeted with great applause' by his friends, intermingled with hoots and hisses from a number of Know-Nothings who were among the crowd. Whilst addressing the assemblage he was continually interrupted by groans, hisses, cries of "it's a lie," " hur rah for Sam," &c. If this is the manner. In which Americans would rule America, if when an American ci tizen addressing Americans in the capital of his country, is to be hooted at, hissed, and in various other ways insulted, we hope the day may be far distant ere we shall be subject to their rule. WELL SPOICEN.—A foreign-born correspond ent of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate makes the following point: "I have renounced on my oath citizenship in all countries, and am I then to be denied in this? The Arabs or the Tartars might refuse to admit me to 'their rights, but even their sense of honor would forbid them to ensnare me. I must be lost to every ,country and every country lust to me, save that country where the arm of man cannot sway the scales of justice. I read,my Bible in the language of Luther, and learned to be a Protestant; and from my Bible and Wesley I learned to be a Methodist. No one asks me to disbe lieve the Bible because I came from India;, Protestantism, because Luther was a Ger man ; or Methodism, because Wesley was an, Englishman. No one refuses me a member ship in the church because I was born a for eigner. I can join them in praising God for His favors, and invoking His blessing on our country ; I can commune with them at the sacrament board ; and yet, refusing me a vote, they will cast their ballot side by side with the vilest scoundrel that ever disgraced the soil on which .he.was born." ItS. The New-York Tribune Thus speaks of the defeat of "Sam" in the Old Dominion: "Contrary to almost universal expectation, we chronicle the defeat of the Knovv-Nothings in Virginia and the election of Henry A. Wise as Governor, by a majority reported as high as ten thousand. This is a very re markable result to follow on the heels of the extravagant bragging of all the Know-Noth ing organs not only in Virginia but throughout the country. Sam's godmother had dipped him in the Styx of Slavery, and tried to pass him upon the Old Dominion as the invulnerJ able Achilles whose presence alone_would sure victory to the South ; but the cunning Paris of Accomac has hit him in the heel= the once invincible hero is ignominously overthrown, the charm is broken, the pres tige of success is gone, and henceforth the name of Sam will carry no terror even to the most timorous and thin-skinned politicians: The "Third Degree members," who have so servilely bowed down to the Moloch of Slavery, mutt feel pretty keenly that thrift does not always follow fawning, and that in this instance at least their voluntary übase : ment has not only been overlooked but most cruelly contemned.

Our City Firemen have been thrown into quite au excitement by the arrival and trial ul another "Orate Steam Squirt," the Younp, ikinertea. — Tl3l;:iierfoinlanceS were of the most Satisfactory elniracter. In less than ten min utes from the time fire was applied to the sha vings and pine wood she was in fine working ,and simultaneously clisdharged tut) streams through section); of hose 62 feet long a distance of 163 feet front the nozzles of the hrauch pipes. Subsequently a single stream out of a one inch was tried, and a distance reached of 1761 feet from the nuzzle, or 2531 Feet from the engine. She labored under great disadvantage in the difficulty of obtaining a full supply of water, tar although eight streams were attached, the Supply soon failed and was totally inadequate to test her real merits. The trial took place in the yard of the Moyamensing Prison, the inmates of which appeared greatly puzzled to understand what was going on, as the narrow •bpenings in the walls of their cells only enab led them to see enough to excite, without grat 'ifying their curiosity. One individual, how ever, by thrusting out with one arm a small Mirror, was rewarded fd. his ingenuity by a daguerreotype view of the whole scene. Our markets have not recently undergone !any important change. Beef cattle sell at the lexliorbitant rate of from $11 : 4 to $l4.

On Tuesday afternoon a irevolving funnel-shaped cloud passed swiftly near the ground, about sixteen miles Inortri of here, carrying up large sticks of wood, 'stones, it described a seini-circle towards 'the southeast, twisting off large tree, and whisking them out of sight inthinter, The whirlwind then broke iu two and disappeared, !but almost immediately formed again, and passed directly back, north and west, with re :idoubled ci, Icier. It struck a heavy frame house one mile from the Illinois and Wiscon isin railroad, tearing the roof instantly off, and lalmost immediately Afterwards taking the ]whole house up the spout with all its con Rents. Nine persons in the house were drawn up ;and hurled down in different places. Four of 'them were instantly killed, and others mutil lated beyond any prospect of recovery. The whirlwind then passed over a post and rail f . e.nce, leaving not the slightest vestige of it. It next took up a barn, and threw it upon the horses and cattle it contained, crushing them flt. once. The timbers of the house and, barn jwere hurled down to the ground with such vi blence as to bury them almost out of sight! :The house belonged to Mr. Page, whose wife, l'son and two grand-children we4e killed. Ad ditional intelligence from the locality more 'than confirms the above.. Accounts are given of persons being carried up one hundred feet iin the air and then hurried down with great 'violence. A number of eye witnesses have 'teAitied to the ravages'bf the tempest'and de scribe it as most terrific. The same afternoon, a severe hail storm occurred in this city, after !which the sky presented 7,it very singular ap pearance to the northwtird, and the weather 'changed from the most oppressive heat .1) the Aahining eatumupilere. ENGINEER INJITREIL—Jaat,I3 Potterly, an engineer on the State road, met with an acci dent on Friday morning, which is likely to re sult in the loss of two fingers of the riglit hand. It appears he was engaged in oiling the works of his engine—the Keystone—pre rlous to starting from Philadelphia, with the morning Express train, when from some unex plained cause the machinery was put in mo tion and crushed his hand so badly as to fear the result will be as stated. Fatly Cm.troas A.—The steamer Star ur :he West arrived at New York on Friday evening, bringing news from California nine day; la ter, and $400,000 in gold. San Francisca. dates are to May 9th. Large exports of flour and grain continue to take place. The news of the siecwid failure of Page & Bacon, at St. Louis, having been received in California, the Sari Francisco house of the same mime closed its doors on the first of May, after paying out $400,000. They cannot resume. In conse quence of this, several other failures have oc curred, the most important being the house of M:u•kwald, Caspari & witir liabilities amounting to $250,000, and assets to $218,000. These failures arc attributed to the great de pression in business tall in value of real estate, etc. The U. S. Branch Mint resumed coining on the Rth of May. The Legislature had ad journed. Walkers 'expeditson had sailed from San Francisco. • CONTRACTS FOR CORN.—WedeaTO from the Jordan (Onondago) Transcript, that contracts have been made by, grain dealers in that vil lage to deliver between June 20th and July 20th, 'at Chicago, free of bond, 35,000 bushels of c.crn at 70 cents: 10,000 bushels at 72 cts., and 5,000, between the 20th of July and 20th of August at 75 cents. THE SOUTHERN MAIL-MEXICAN NEWS.- Baltimore, May 31.—The New Orleans papers of Friday have been received by the mail of this morning. The papers contain details of Mexican news to the 22d inst. It is stated that after ,: 4 anta Anna left Morelia in pursuit of the insurgents, no accounts of his progress had been received, but the reports were afloat ,that occasioned great alarm among his partizans. It was sta ted that the insurgents were prepared to offer the most energetic resistance. seF`The St. Louis Intelligencer formally tukesleave of the Whig party, and announces its withdrawal in the following terms :—We have renounced the old Whig party as dead forever. It did not get three hundred votes at St. Louis last April. Its organization is aban doned in Kentucky—abandoned in Virginia —abandoned- everywhere. That party can never be revived as a national party. We op pose the Whig party as a thing of the past." DEMOCRATIC REJOICINGS IN NEW YORK.— New York, May 31.—There was an immense gathering at Tammany Hall this evening, as a:manifestation of rejoicing over the'result of the Virginia election.

Jacob Myers Jr, Son— the former publisher, Francis H. Carpenter, Esq., having retired from the arduous duties connected with the post TAX COLLECTORS.—Henry W. Hess (Know- Nothing) having neglected to give such bond as the County Commissioners required for the collection of the State, County and School Taxes of this City, they have appointed Mr. Jacob Zecher(Democrat) the Collector, who has entered upon the discharge of his duties. No better appointment could have teen made. Mr. Z. is an experienced collector of taxes, having for many years acted in that capacity, with great satisfinition to the public and all concerned. He is, we understand, to receive 4 per cent, fur collecting the duplicate. 'the school tax will be collected by Mr. William Lowrey, (Dem.,) who will act as an assistant to Mr. 'Lecher. He also is a capital hand at the business, having had much experience io collecting taxes. CANNEL COAL—We were shown a specimen of this coal, at the office of George Calder Co., in North Queen st. The qualities of this coal are rennu•kable—a small or large piece Call he igniteet . witn a coin-Arm ;witch, and it , appears that not the usual quality of delete rious gas is emitted. For many purposes it will supersede any other c‘lai in our market. Artizans, Manufacturers and every class of consumers will soon thal that it w. lie im politic to he without it. It is from the coal fields in-,Mercer county, in this State. These 'gentlemen have made at, augments to have on hand, at their eapaciou, delivering yard, : running frign the ltailroml to Water street, an ample supply of this article, as well as all nth kiwis of coal. REJOICING.-0110 hundred Tins were fired in this city, on Tuesday last; by our Demo cratic friends, in honor of the splendid victory gained over the Know-Nothings in Virginia. ACCIDENT AT COLUMBIA.—We learn that a son of Mr. Clark, of Columbia. aged six years, was run over by a train of cars un Wednes day, and though he was still living at the last ;INcounts, it was thought he could not long survive. It seems that in attempting to cross the track iu front of the train, his foot slipped, and before he could recover himself the wheels were opal his body, mangling him in a fright ful manner. • ANOTHER DEATH ON 'THE RAI LROAD.—\Ve learn that a titan named Stephen Maule was instantly killed on the Railroad on Wednes lay last, at the first bridge west of Parkes burg. lie was sitting on the top of n ear in a burden train going slyest, with his thee to the east, when dm tack of his head struck the bridge.

COM..—The yards of our coal dealers ap pear to be well stocked with the various kinds of coal ; but no reduction in price has taken place since the first of April, at which time there was a fall of 75 ets to $l.OO per ton. Five dollars for Lykens Valley coal and $5.25 for Pine Grove, delivered, are the present cur rent rates. This is just about $2 per ton higher . than it is sold for and delivered in Harrisburg, where we see fly the papers thnt Brwtt, an • ox-tont:lra dealer, offers to de liver Lykens Valley Nut Coal at 52.25, Stove do at $2.87} and Egg at $3.12i. This. it strikes us, allows a very liberal margin for profits, after paying the difference in freights between Harrisburg and Lancaster. —lnland Daily. STILL. THEy COME.—lmmense quantities of freight is now daily passing through this city from the west; to such an extent have the trains lately arrived at Philadelphia as to pre clude the cars getting nearer than three miles of the city; Friday morning three cars, containing about 1500 head ,if cattle passed through here "en route" for Phila. • • Itsm—We had a splendid rain on Friday Friday night and Saturday.

COURT LAST WEE ,—The tlillowing cases were disposed of in the Common Pleas, last week: In the case of the Gap Mining Company rs. Henry Kinzer, beliire reported. the Jury.re turned a verdict for the Plaintiff, and assessed the damages at $35. On motion or W. AV. Brown, Esq., the Court appointed, Aldus I. Neff, R. A. Evans and P. W. Housekeeper, Esq's., auditors to distribute the estate of Stephen Jlamilton and wife. Becker vs. Swartz.—On motion of J. B.

Hudson vs. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company.--After the Jury had been sworn and the case had proceeded as far as the opening and examination of one witness, Mr. Stevens informed the Court that by con sent of counsel, the case would not be pressed further at the present time, and asked the Court to dismiss the jury. This suit which has created much attention arose out of an ac cident which occurred last March a year, about half a mile below the "Big Conestoga Bridge," on the State Road • it will be remembered that Mr. Hudson was brought to this city, and cared for at Kendig's hotel, until his death- The case has now been referred to the arbitra. tion of Judges Pearson, Haines and John Evans, of York county. MORMON EMIGRATION.—Since the naviga tion of the Ohio river opened this spring, 1500 Mormon emigrants passed through Pittsburg, on their way to Utah, and others are daily expected. They are understood to be from Great Britain, where Mormon proselyt ism makes steady progress. At Liverpool there is a Mormon agency, supported espe cially for the purpose of aiding emigration. It has this year.sent off upwards of 3600 emi grants. Of these, the expenses of 1100 were paid. We see it stated, says the North American, that many of these emigrants were converted in Liverpool, where, it is supposed, the Mormon preacher circulates among the poorer classes of emigrants seeking passage to America. However this may be, appearances indicate that the accessions to the Mormons this year will be greater than for any previous one. In view of 'the recent news from the Salt Lake, respecting the complicity of the Mormon chiefs in the murder of Captain Gunnison and his party, the increase in the number of emigrants cannot but be regarded with disquietude, as it is evident that we 'shall have very serious trouble yet with these: people. - . .
