It has been cold and chilly during the entire week, and
those who had not taken down their stoves, found fire to
be quite comfortable ; today, however, is springlike and
warm: Several refreshing showers have greatly contribu
ted to the grOwth of the fields and gardens—both of which

The river at this point has been rising for the past week
tpilteraiddly, and the water Is now In the cellars of many
of stores on the Levee, and the merchants are busy In
betiding their goods from the lower lo the upper stories.—
The rise comes principally from the Missouri and upper
Misalasippl—the former stream being very high. At this
point, the Mississippi is much higher than it has been for
for several years. A groat deal of drift-wood is now passing
down. This rise is much earlier than nsual—our high was
ter generally occurs here in June.
Our levee, that portion still out of water, is lined from
one end to the other with huge piles of goods of every de
scription, and the harbor is crowded with gasmen. Busi
ness generally, is good. Our produce market is active; the
health of the city remains unusually good. Large num
bers of emigrants, both from the North and South, are
daily arriving, en route for Kansas and Nebraska . Territo
ries.
Affairs In Kansas are at a stand ,this Late accounts
from there state that Jones, the sheriff of Douglas coun
ty, who was recently shot by some unknown person, had
died of his yOunds, but this report is not credited and
needs confirmation. The Investigating Committee are still
at work, but when they will be ready to report is not
known. Mr. Oliver, of this State, who is one of the Com
mittee, will, it is thought, offer a minority report.
This Kansas agitation and excitement will be kept up
until after the Proeldential election; It is good capital for
the fanatics of the North to make hula= out of.
There is very little, if anything, transpiring in our city
worthy of notice.
On the fith inst., as the steamer Effie Afton was passing
under the new bridge just completed over the Mississippi,
at Rock Island, abe was caught by the current and forced
against one of the piers, smashing her cabins and setting
her on fire. She lodged against the pier and burned to
the water's edge, and eat fire to the bridge—one span
of which burned and fell into the river. As the burning
wreck floated down the stream, the boats that were lying
in the vicinity, started their bolls and; whistles. rejoicing
at tho 'partial destruction of this beautiful structure. The
...steamboat-men were all down upon this bridge, for they
say It is dangerous to ascend or descend the river under it.
The boatmen generally are in ecstacles over the injury this
bridge has received. whilst the people of Illinois and lowa
deeply deplore the accident. The boat and cargo are a to
tal loss, which Is estimated at $75,000. The bridge will be
re-built as soon as possible. No lives were lest by the dix

The so-called " National" Democratic party of this city,
held ward meetings on Satuiday night last, and appointed
delegates to the County Convention, which will shortly
convene; 'the other wing has not as yet held their meet
ings. The party is still far from befouling a unit, and
they both quietly await that defeat wialch is sure to follow
• their stubbohiness and folly. Row much better It would be
for each wing to forget past differences and bury the hatch
et which has cut them In two, and endeavor in fu
ture to act moro harmonious, when every election could
be carried without the least exertion ; and at a time, too ,
when new organizations are trying their strougth. Now
is the time to crush the common enemy before they get a
fast hold, and now Is the accepted time for union and har
mony in the Democratic ranks. Nothing, however, can or
will be done until Col. Benton arrives and makes known
his intentions as to the Gubernatorial race. The tight
will take place, but it is not definitely known whether It
will be a single-handed or a triangular battle.
The "old line whigs" of this city are making an effort to
reorganize their party in this
,State, and although they
may not bo In a condition to run a candidate 4- Choir own,
they will do effective service iu routing Know-Nothingism
and Black Republicanism is the approaching elections—
An the time for the convening of the Democratic National
Convention approaches, politics begin to assume a more
animated and exciting character. Many are the surmises
as to who will bo the standard bearer of the Democratic
forces, and what platform will there be presented for the
friends of Democratic measures to stand upon. The Know-
Nothings in this locality—though few iu numbers, and not
over zealous In the cause they espouse--predict, with great
certainty, a grand rupture of the Democracy—now so calm
and harmonious—which event, they say, will again bright
en the skies, and give them cause to rejoice. The old
proverb'very properly reads—" Misery loves company"—
but we are Inclined to the belief that short and eatisfactory
work will be the result of the deliberations of the romp
eentatives to the Cincinnati Convention; and if our belief
is verified, woe unto Know-Nothingism, Black Republican-
OM and all other isms—we will thrash them singly or com
bined—any way they may choose to array themselves
akalnst the rock that has weathered many a storm, and
.withstood the furious flood that raged on every burnt.—
'The old ship of State is not to be wrecked by a hand full of
weak-minded, cringing politicians, who seek every hole to
screen themselves from the light of day, and lose no op
giortunity to offer their 'valuable services' to their country
—provided, however, the pay is remunerative!
It is an almost unanimous opinion of the people of this
section, that Mr. Buchanan will go into that Convention
with more friends than any other man named for the Pres
idency; that his friends and admirers will insist upon his
nomination in such terms, that the Convention will deem
it policy not to postpone the claims of Pennsylvania any
longer, and for the,purpose of making the struggle doubly
sure, will declare him the beet qualified and most available
man to lead the army on to battle and crown the result iu
victory.
Such are the opinions of the people of the West—who are
ready to take up the march under the banner of Democracy
with the veteran . Pennsylvanian at their head; such are
the opinions of the South, and the members of the Demo
cratic party there only await the tap of the drum to fall
Into line; and judging from accounts from the' North and
East, a similar feeling appears to prevail. With Mr. Bu_
chanan as the nominee of the party, and a strong and na
tional man for Vice President, there is not a doubt of a
glorious and brilliant victory. Too much mutton cannot
be urged upon the delegates in their selection—they must
not take men who have played a conspicuous part in poli
tics, as the best and moat available—they must not only
leave the "record" be the qualification, but they must look
whore the support is to come from. There has been many
a good and honest man beaten, and we might say by one
,unworthy the confidence anal respect of the community in
in which he lived, solely because he was selected at an un
propitions time. These are critical times—it is tree, we
know our men to be true and tried, yet we do not know
the number of our adversaries, or the means they
will resort to defeat our men and measures. Who
Is the man that can command the greatest strength ? lie
is the one tho Convention should look to I Who is the
man most likely to carry the two great States of New York
and Pennsylvania t That man is required now to bear the
Democratic flag. 'The latter State is certain for Mr. Buchan
an, and Jibe cannot sweep the State of New York, no oth
er Democratic nominee can. With these facts staring the
Cincinnati delegate§ in the face, no other alternatire, (if
they wish to insure the success and preserve the measures
and creed of the Democratic party) is loft, than to make
the safe and judicious selection of Pennsylvania's Illustrious
favorite.

The South, lately so strong and enthusiastic for Fillmore

that he cannot carry a solitary State, and fits warmest sup
porters in the Convention which nominated him, are re

ruined every prospect of success—that It was impolitic, in
judicious, as well as an insult to a large proportion of the
order in placing by the side of Mr. Fillmore so base an en
emy of his former years. Fillmore is politically dead,
and his few friends know not what to do.

The Resources of Pcnisslvanla--A
Glance at Elk Count y y.
Ms. EDITOR:—At the present, this county
appears to be the scene of active improvement.
Great interest has been manifested in this
direction within the past year, especially since
the Sunbury and Erie Railroad between this
county and the lakes has been under contract.
From present appearances, if the reasons upon
- which the public conclusions are founded are
true, and we have no cause to doubt them, it
is soon destined to be one of the wealthiest
and most important in the State. An im
mense amount of capital is now being invested
in this vicinity from our own city, and that of
New York. Coal companies are being started
to commence operations immediately upon the
completion of the end of the road to Erie,
which is now under contract, and a large
force at work. The following are some of the
reasons advanced upon the subject : •
The western end of the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad connecting Elk with the great mar
ket of the Lakes, in now under contract, and
a large force at work grading the road with
all rapidity. Sufficient money has been raised
to complete this end. The Tyrone and Clear-
field will also connect with the Sunbury and
Erie at St. Mary's ; besides these, the Alle
gheny Valley will pass through in the course
of a few years, and connect with the New
York and Erie Railroad at Olean. Ridgway
will also be the terminus of the Venango con.
neeting with the West. It is necessary to he
fully aware'of the terminus, of these roads, as
well as their route, to understand the value of
the location.
Before entering upon the location we will
consider the mineral and agricultural wealth
of the country, which gives the land its
value. The principal part of that county is
underlaid by three veins of bituminous coal.
The first, on an average, 3/ feet thick ; the
2d, 4/ ; and the 3d, from 6to 8 feet. Above
the coal lays a strata of the best limestone,
and between each vein is a vein of the richest
iron ore. Until within the past year or so,
the land not being sufficiently explored, these
important facts were unknown. The soil is a
fine agriculturol soil, and said to be neither
hilly nor stony, with the exception of the por
tion known 11:8 the barrens, upon which no
value is placed, and which are generally in
the hands of reckless real estate agents, who
have done much to injure Western Pennsyl
vania by decrying all other lands and impos
ing their's upon their victims. There is a fine
agricultural settlement, and the crops produc
ed are large and generally sure.
Possessing these advantages, the develope
ment depends, as before observed, upon the
railroads, but more especially upon the com
pletion of the western end of the Sunbury
and Erie, which it is believed, from sufficient
reasons, will be done in with two years. We
will give a short extract, in considering the
subject, from the Pottsville Gazette
The great bituminous formation of the
Allegheny, in running eastward, gradually
ascends, until the measures finally run out in
Potter county, where no coal exists. 'l'hus
Elk is about the most easternmost county if
not the last ode, in which beds of workable
coal are found •, and in view of this fact, the
coal trade will necessarily constitute one of
the most profitable features of the Sunbury
and Erie, as well as that of the northern end of
the Allegheny Valley road. The distance from
St. Mary's to Erie is about one hundred miles,
and the coal could be afforded in the city of
Erie at a cost varying little from two dollars
per ton. The veins are extremely regular,
and the coal can be uniformly mined in drifts,
at an aggregate of forty cents . per ton, and
carried one hundred miles by railroad, over
descending grades, and without the usual al
lowance of five per cent. for depreciation, for
one dollar. per ton ; thus leaving to the opera
tor a profit of sixty cents per ton, exclusive of
landlord's royalty, which may be estimated at
twenty-five cents per ton. Now the Elk coal
can be delivered on the wharves of Erie one
dollar per ton cheaper than any similar coal
that now goes there, or to any point on the
Lake shore. Thus, it will be perceived, a
stupendous coal business is certain to accrue
to the Sunbury and Erie Road the moment its
lake ends shall have been completed; and ono
of the inevitable effects of such trade will be
to give extraordinary value to the lands."
These conclusions are no doubt founded up
on solid grounds. The prospects are much
greater then when coal was first introduced
at Pottsville. Then the market was small on
account of its being so little used. Here there
is a market of nearly two millions, and it only
wants the completion of that end of the road
to spring at once into existence. Elk, also,
has the advantage Of being superior agricul
tural land to support a mining population.—
The coal being at hand will, also, induce the
manufacture of iron, as bituminous coal is su
perior to wood, and as observed, it is the near
est land to the Lakes, possessing the advanta
ges of both.
Property which a few years ago was selling
at several dollars an acre, has now gone up
enormously. The Elk and McKean Improve
ment Company, are going into extensive
operations. They own 120,000 acres, and the
Company is composed ofJohn C. Cresson, Esq.,
Henry M. Watts, Esq., Hon. John K. Kane,
Samuel Mason, Esq., Mordecai L. Paw-
B on, Esq., Frederick Fraily, Esq., John Live
zey, Esq., William Biddle, Esq.; they are
selling their lands at fifty dollars an acre, each
share representing an acre. The Ridgway
Company which has a tract of nearly 30,000
acres, aro selling it at eight dollars an acre,
but they intend to raise the price on the first
of Juno. The officers of this company are
Charles K. Landis, R. Griffith Porter, Frank
lin Butler, James Peters, Samuel W. Cattel
and others. A large Company is also about
being formed in this county for the maufacture
of oil. VERITAS.

SALEM WITCHCRAFT IN TIIE NINETEENTH
CENTURY. L- A ll interesting case has recently
come before the Supreme Court of MassachU
setts, in Salem, in which the validity of a will
was sought to be impeached on account of sin
gular mental delusions, amounting to insani
ty, which influenced the testator, one Obed
Woodbury, who had devised his property to
certain cousins, cutting off the heirs at law,
who were a nephew 'and niece, Zebulon
Woodbury and Mrs. Elizabeth Fritz, children
of a deceased brother. The latter contested
the will, and showed on the trial that the de
ceased had, until within a year, expressed his
intention to leave his property to them, and
that, for many years, he had been of an unu
sualy weak and superstitious turn of mind.
Some of the delusions of which he was pos
sessed are so singular as to recal the days of
Salem witchcraft and the wholesale hanging
of witches by the colonists. His two physicians
testified to an insane delusion on the subject
of his nephew, founded on alleged supernatural
communications. He said that spirits had
spoken to him, and that. the wall had called
out to him and warned him. He also believed
that the nephew's wife had a bottle with seeds
in it, by swinging which over her head three
times, she Gould, at any time, put him into
agony ; and in his last sickness he attributed
his pains chiefly to her practices.
R. H. Dana, Jr., Esq., of Boston, made an
exceedingly able closing argument in behalf
of the heirs at law, for whom the jury, under
instructions from the court, found a verdict
on both issties, viz : the insanity of the testa
tor and undue influence by the executor.
