The Proipeot Brighten _.We have never known the political sky in Pennsylvania more bright and cheering for th? Democratic party than it is at the present time. Every thing betokens a glorious ami triumphant viotory in; October next. Know- Nothingism has had its day, and is now num bered amongst the things that were ; and many who were beguiled from the right path, for a season, by its allurements, have returned to the Democratic fold from whenoe they strayed, and are now jmore firmly fixed than ever in the faith of ! their fathers. Black Republicanism—never strong with the honest and patriotic yeomanry of our good old Com monwealth —is already fast tumbling to pieces under tbo piercing rays of truth which are made to flash athwart the political horizon from every Democratic journal, and it, too, is rapidly descending To the rile duet frpm which It sprung— Unwept, onhonored and^nnsung. Our nominees, Messrs. Packer, Strick land, Strong and Thompson, are each and all favorites with the people. They are gentlemen of acknowledged talents and of undoubted integrity j who have long since been tested in the cruoible of popular opinion, and whose virtues and abilities have become the more conspicuous in proportion as their ohar&cters for personal and political honesty have been scrutinized and examined by the people and the press. Their eleotion to the offices for which they have been nominated is already a foregone "conclusion with the think ing and reflecting mdn of all parties, and the prospect now is thatithe enemy will scarcely be able to make a tolerable show of resistance in any section of • the State except the “infected region” of the North and' 1 North- West, where Wilmofcism, alias Black Repub licanism, Btill manages to keep a sort of foot hold among the masses. But even there, our information is that light is beginning to dawn in upon the people, and not a few are growing tired of following in the footsteps oi that arch renegade and traitor, Wilmot, who has been leading them thus (far in the high road to destruction. They begin,to reflect that they are a constituent part of a nation of white men, and that their interests are quite as dear to them and their children as are the fancied rights of the negro race. So thinking and so considering, we have no doubt, from what we have heard from that section of the State, that many will come out from the “foul party,” and, like independent American citizens, array themselves on the side of the Democracy. We feel free, therefore, in predicting that Gen. Packer and the whole State ticket will be elected by a regular, old-fashioned Jackson and Buchanan majority., It moat oertainly will be the case if our friends throughout the State use one-half the exertions they did at the last Presidential election. Hon. John B. Floyd. This distinguished statesman and member of Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet, returned to Washington on Tuesday last from West Point, where he had been on official business connect ed with the post. On his route to the seat of government he Btopped a day in New York, as we learn from the papers, and was called upon by a large number of the citizens who desired the opportunity of paying their res pects to the Hon. Secretary. The War. D epartment has seldom been in the hands of one possessed of higher executive talent than Gov. Floyd. Clearly comprehending the duties appertaining to the exalted and responsible position, he has thus early made himself justly popular with the whole rank and file of the army, and infused into every division an esprit du corps admirable in itself, and as beneficial to this arm of our defense, as it is useful and necessary to the Government. With his com. manding talents and great energy of character, Secretary Floyd's influence must be widely felt, not only in the department over which he presides with so much ability and credit to himßelf, but in the Executive Council of which he iB so prominent a member. Col. John W. Forney. It is'understood that this gentleman has formally declined the Consulship to Liverpool, tendered him by the President—and that he will again take up his permanent residence in Philadelphia. It is intimated that he contem plates'either the purchase of the Pennsylva nian, or the establishment of a new Democratic paper, the arrangements for which will be made in a few days. The Democracy of Penn sylvaniawill weloome him-back into the edit orial corps with a hearty good will, and give him a support commensurate with his great abilities. Shonld’nt Wonder if lie Hid., It is said that Van Wagner and his “ tent,” will canvass this Slate for Wilmot and “ bleeding Kansas” during the ensuing cam paign. They will commence operations in Wayne county, and after convincing the peo ple of that region that a white man is not as good as a nigger, will proceed to Susquehanna, Bradford and other counties bordering on the York State line. We hope that when his “gift” has run out in that locality, he will pay it visit to Bucks, Berks, Northampton, Lehigh, Mont gomery, Lancaster and other eastern coun ties. His labors of love in this benighted region might be productive of much good in cheering up the hearts of the “ freedom shriek erß 1 ” Glorious Old Virginia. The Democratic majority at the recent gen eral election in Virginia, is estimated at about 50,000! The entire delegation to the next Congress is Democratic. The Attorney Gen eral eleot is also a Democrat. Know-Nothingism and every ether iem hos tile to the Democratic party, are literally dead and buried in the Old Dominion. The Injunction Case. The application of H. S. Mott et. al. for a writ of injunction to prevent the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from purchasing the Main Line of the Public Workß, was argued before the Supreme Court in banc, last week. At the conclusion of the argument, Chief Justice Lewis announced that the opinion of the Court would be delivered on Tuesday, (to-day.) £he impression seems to be pretty strong that the injunction will be granted. We sincerely hope bo. A publio dinner was given to Hon. William B. Reed, prior to his departure for China, by a large number of his fellow citizens of all parties, at the Lapierre House, Philadel phia, on yesterday, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has been much injured by the recent freshets, and the resumption of navigation is now or matter of great uncertainty. Hon* James Thompson* The Keystone democracy have nominated. •, this gentleman for a seat Supreme/ Court Bench of his State. We have longknowijg j him, and had the "pleasure of congratulating frim last-week. ;Mr. Thompson'is a native of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.'; Hi* parents, .though - most -respectable, had no fortunevinth which to pay his' wayfo dfc tinction.' He oWos. to his own talents and energy, and the keen discrimination of the democracy of his native State,' the distin guished position he now _bolds before -the country. In his boyhood he learned the art and mystery of printing in_a democratic office at Harrisburg—-unemployment in which the leading traits of his character were strikingly displayed. After learning the business he published a democratic paper some , years in Venango county, where he acquired a high reputation for talent. While performing bis duties as editor he was several times elected to the legislature, and was on one or two occasions elected speaker. He commenced reading law while conducting his paper, and soon became distinguished as an apt scholar, readily mastering its principles and the reasons upon which they were founded. He has ever been less distinguished as a book man than as an original and profound thinker, illustrating his views by a recognized common sense, which is the key to his success as a jurist. He settled at an early day at Erie, Trhere he secured a full and lucrative practice. He was soon called upon to discharge the duties of district judge. Fully appreciating his talents and character,-his neighbors and acquaintances soon required his ser vices in Congress. His triumphant election showed ’ the estimation in which he was held by those who knew him best. — His legal acquirements and high character soon placed him at the head of the Judicial Committee of the House—a position appropri ately devolved upon the best legal talent of that body. No one has better discharged the duties of that arduous position. After a few years' service as a representative he volunta rily relinquished public life, and devoted him self to the duties of his profession, soon secur ing a large and profitable practice. Except when he yielded some three years Binoe to the request of all parties to represent his county in the legislature when their local interests were deeply involved, he has remained in pri vate life, devoted to his prpfession. While thus employed, the sagacious democracy turned their attention to him to fill one of the vacancies on the bench occasioned by the re tirement therefrom of Chief Justice Black and Judge Lewis. This selection is alike compli mentery to him and to the Bagacity of the convention which led them to make it. His election, which we deem certain, will do credit to the voters who secure it. He will bring to hisjudicial duties talents and acquirements adapted to the position, and will acquire new honors in the discharge of his high duties.— We are unacquainted with his colleague upoa the ticket, but we doubt not that the nomina ting convention were equally as fortunate in his selection.— Washington Union. Stirring Times in Gotham I The good people of the city of New York were in a high state of excitement last week, in consequence of a collision between the old and new boards of Police. To understand the difficulty aright, it is necessary to premise that the late Black Republican Legislature of the State.of New York, by way, we suppose, of punishing the Democracy of the city for the large majority they gave Mr. Buchanan in November, passed a law taking the appoint ment of municipal officers out of the hands of the Democratic Mayor, and vesting it in a Board of Commissioners who have been ap pointed by the Black Republican Governor. Mayor Wood and the City Councils resist this as unconstitutional, and have taken the pre liminary steps to have the matter tested in the Court of Appeals ; and until that decision is made they are determined to retain the power >with which the people of the city have invested them. The immediate cause of the disturbance was the attempt of Mr. Conover, appointed a Street Commissioner by the Governor to fill a vaoan oy, to the possession of the office. This was resisted by the Mayor’s Police—hence the riot and bloodshed. The following details we give from one of oar exchanges: New York, June 16. —Ex-Alderman D. D. Conover, the Governor’s appointed as Street Commissioner, was again ejected to-day, from the Street Commissioners’ .room, by Mayor Wood’s Police, who were detailed in ease of a riot occurring. Governor King is in town. Another serious riot between the two Police forces, occurred at the Park to-day, in conse quence of an attempt made bv a body of Me tropolitan Police to arrest Mayor Wood and Sheriff Willett, on a warrant granted by Judge Hoffman, for an assault on Mr. Cono ver, the Metropolitan Commissioner of Streets. The Metropolitan Police, while ascending in a body, the Bteps of the City Hall, were beaten back with clubs by the Mayor’s Police, and many of them were badly hurt. Capt. Dilks was reported mortally wounded. The Park is filled with an excited crowd. It is reported that the military has been called out. [second despatch.] Mayor Wood has surrendered himself to the Sheriff, and gave bonds in $5OOO. The Sher iff gave himself up to the Governor. The National Guards, who were under arms, and were about starting to Boston to partici pate in the Battle ot Bunker Hill celebration, then left for that city. The 12th Regiment of State troops are now nnder arms. Several Metropolitan Policemen were badly injured in the affray to-day, and their recovery is considered doubtful. Since Tuesday things remain in statu quo. Although much excitement prevails, no out break has occurred, and Mayor Wood contin ues to perform tile-duties of his office without further molestation from the Black Republi can officials. Well Done, Minnesota ! The Minnesotapapers bring us gratifying ac counts of the recent triumph of the Democracy in that territory, in the election of. delegates to form a state constitution. The St. Paul’s Pioneer says that in the “Stillwater District the Demooraey have elected their entire ticket of six delegates. St Paul district has been equally successful, annihilating the Black Republiean and all other opposition. The Democracy throughout the territory have elected thiry-five delegates and the Black Republicans, only eleven, which may he set down as a signal victory. Minnesota sends greeting to the National Demooraoy of the Dnion, the gloriouß intelligence, that another star—a North Star—will speedily be added to to the brilliant galaxy of Democratic States.” The opposition made desperate effors to carry the election. Abolition orators were imported to preach treason and nullification • hut in the distriots visited by them, the De mocracy have uniformly gained. Is not this a glorious commentary on the intellegenoe and and patriotism of the people. The issue involved in the eleotioc. were misrepresented —the principles of the Democratic party mis stated and slandered by these importations, but all to no purpose. Centennial. —The congregation of the First Presbyterian Church (New School) in the Borough of Carlisle, propose celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the estab lishment of their church, in that plaoe, on Sunday the sth of July. The Rev. George Duffield, D. D., of Detroit, who for many years was Pastor of the congregation, will deliver an Historical Address, on the oooasion. The Sale of the Mein Line. i We'lnvite attention to thefollo.wing letter from Col. Henry S. Mott, concerninglhe ap- r i plication now; pending. before the?''Supreme ■ Court , for a preliminary inj unction to restrain the* Pennsylvania /fiKmi becoming the purchaser of the, Majii Line of the Pablic Works, some errors in the draft to. tiia' Conit. The letter presents a variety of im portant facts in relation to the public Works, their revenue, cfcc., that will be read with interest: — Philadelphia, June 13,. 185.7. To the Editors'of the Sunday Dispatch:— My attention has. jnsfc been Idireeted to that, part of the bill in eqnity, filed in my name, against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,- where it is represented that the State Canals, between Columbia and Pittsburg, have not for many years realised sufficient income to pay expenses. It is undoubtedly correct that the portion of the Main Line between Columbia and Pittsburg,, if the Portage Railroad is in cluded, has been unproductive, and such was my instruction for framing the bill. The omission to insert the Portage Road was a clerical error, which I did not discover until my attention was called to it, and I have in structed my counsel to have the neoessary amendment made. The Canals of the Main Line and the Portage Railroad are connecting links of one work between the two termini at Columbia and Pittsburg. The Canal yielded in Net iocome.... The Portage Road. Expenses Loss on Portage Read : $173,757 30' Deduct net income of Canals 51,876 36 Loss for 1856 ‘ ; .$121,880 94 The above statistics appear in detail in the Canal Commissioners' Report of 1856. But, while this part of the Main Line is unproductive, the other portion of it is just the reverse. The Columbia Railroad yielded, 1856 4953,034 28 Net revenue on Columbia R.

This result excludes the expenditures for improvements of a permanent character, the purchase of new machinery, rebuilding of bridges, &o. As these improvements last for a series of years, it is not considered just to charge them wholly to the running expenses of the year. These items amounted, in 1856, to the sum; of $171,084 41. Estimating the proportion of 1856 at ten per cent, per year, as they will continue serviceable for at least ten years, there will be a deduction of $17,108 44, leav ing the net receipts $585,790 35, paying five per cent, interest on $11,715,807 of the State debt. ■The publio is aware that the late Act of Assembly permits the purohaser to abandon at pleasure, the Portage Railroad and the Western Division of the Canals. This measure enables the purchaser to abandon the unproductive part of the public works. The revenue of 1856, flowing from the remainder of the works, which the pur chasers are obliged to keep up, stands thus: The receipts at Columbia per the Canal, including out-let lock $ 71,133 01 Portsmouth 45,555 23 Harrisburg Newport Lewistown Huntingdon...^.

Net receipts Representing a capital of. Paying an interest of 5 per cent. These are the figures, without saying anything of other taxes being released if they beoome the pur chasers. I have thus attempted to give a candid, fair statement of my views of the value of these improvements, under the different aspects pre sented, and am confident that no one can present it by figures fairly put together, in any worse light.

Coroner’s Inquests. —By reference to the following act of the late legislature, it will be seen that the number of jurors required to sit on a Coroner’s inquest has been reduced from twelve to six. An Act relative to inquests by Coroners and Justices of the Peace. Sec. 1 Be it enacted, &c., That from and ofter the passage of this act, the number of jurors summoned by Coroners and justices of the Peace in cases of inquests upon the body of deceased persons, as now required by law, shall not be more than six to attend any one inquest. Approved May 18,1857. At an election held in Louisville, Ky., on the 15th inst., for Judge of the Court of Appeals, Mr. Bullitt, the independent Demo cratic candidate, was elected over Wheat, the Know-Nothing candidate, by a handsome majority. The attempt was again made by the Know-Nothings to renew the murderous outrages of former years, but it was unsuc cessful; —thanks to the firmness and heroic such men as Col, William Preston and Judge Bullitt—so says the Louisville Democrat. Another Victim. —Major George McNair, formerly of Annapolis, expired at Washington on Friday week, from the effects of disease contracted at the National Hotel, where he dined on the 7tb of January last. Books and Gifts. —We direct attention to the advertisement of A. Ranney, (N. Y.) in another column. He offers great inducements to purchasers of Books and Maps, and will doubtless have lots of customers from every quarter.. The Bunker Hill Celebration.- —Thf great Bunker Hill celebration, or inaugura tion of the statue of Gen. Warren, who fell at that first great battle of the Revolution, took place on Thursday last—the eighty-second an niversary of the memorable oonflict. Among the notables present were the Governors of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Con necticut, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Hon. Edward Evirett delivered the oration. Wbxt fhev Bat in New York* Dogs Fattened upon Dead Rats, Cats , Dogs, and Refuse Poultices from the Hospitals . Blessed are the people who don'fcjive, in New York.

Thi?_committee vis ited! these, ?n ts on. Thursday week* and we quote the subjoined sketch of one of them from the report of their investigation we finyd in the Tribune: 5 The first one that was'visited, and "the one at which tbo most disgusting ocenes wem en acted wasa. piggery .located to the-east of Broad way, in Fifty-ninth street, and owned by one Charles Oberlander. This man raises a large number of hogs every year for the market, and has for a long time been, engaged in the business. But the manner in whiclx he does it is disgraceful in the very last degree. It is disgraceful to the man himself, and dis graceful to the city of New York. Upon an examination.of his.premises some of the most disgusting sights were witnessed. The law states that only foar pigs shall be allowed upon one lot, while this man had more than one hundred in a pen which measured fifty by one hundred feet A heap of rubbish, which had been covered by Oberlander's wife when she espied the officers, was found to contain large quantities of intestines of animals mixed up with other masses of putrid matter. After this was examined, the captain aud his men went all round the premises, and everywhere they went they found bones of all kinds, the oarcasses of dead dogs, pigs and cats cut up in pieces for the pigs to eat. There were also dead rats in abundance. Upon examing more minutely everything that was seen on the ground, it was ascertained that rags with dried poultices upon them were iameng the lot. All kinds of filth and garbage were mixed up together with them. The wife of this man when she was Bharply questioned, reluctantly confessed that all these things were given to the pigs to eat, and that they were fed upon nothing else than this kind of stuff, and such other garbage as can he gathered through the city? She said that her husband was paid to take away from the city hospital all the offal that is to be found in that place, and that he removed at least one load every day. This offal is composed of all kinds of matter. It was found to contain the beds that were found to be unfit to keep in the hospital, from having been used by the very worst pa tients, and containing dangerous contagious diseases, all the old clothes that have been used by the physicians and students, and the rags upon which the poultices were placed.— . Then there was the other filth and offal of the hospital in addition to these all mixed up to gether. Oberlander, upon being asked what he did with the beds and rags which he carried away from the New York Hospital, said that he emptied the straw out for the pigs to lie on, and then he sold the ticks for making paper. The rags, also, after the swine had eaten, were washed and sold for the same purpose. .$259,891 93 ...198,015 67 .$51,876 36 ...20,047 23 ..193,804 53 .448,556 41 The Ex-President and Dictator of Mexico has, since his abdication and flight, main tained, until lately, perfect silence, as to his plans and intentions. 'An occasional new paper correspondent who has visited him in his home at Carthagena, has described him as being comfortably situated, but by no means indifferent to the movements going on in the world, and to the events of his own country. He has recently issued a manifesto, reviewing the history of her revolutionary struggles, and denouncing the alleged weakness and corrup tions of the'present government. The docu ment which has been secretly circulated among the friends of Santa Anna, in Mexico, is published in the New York Herald. It intimates the policy of selling a portion of the territory, and of placing some good man at the head of the government. He concludes by saying: “ Mexico oannot continue any longer to be governed by men who believe that society can exist without religion; men who have not been able to maintain relations of amity with for eign nations; men who have brought civil war into the very bosom of privat families; who have invaded the sanctity of the domestic hearth and sought to subjugate the consciences of men, even in their most privat transactions. It is inevitable that such a government must fall, covered with infamy and contempt. The men of Mexico, united under one banner, must inevitably recover again their national rights and their former glories. Although by my age—l have now attained the last decade of my life—yet I feel within me the necessary force and valor with which to aid the man who is destined by heaven to accomplish this great movement. Whosoever he may be I will obey him as a citizen—l will defend him as a soldier. Fellow citizens, thetime to save the country has come.” .33,236 48 ...5,769 01 ...7,321 11 .13,891 83 .18,421 72 $195,327 39 ...953,034 .29 .$ 44.57 T 94 .604.334 39 $1,368,663 64 604,334 39 ...$764,329 15 .16,286,583 00 H. S. MOTT. Desperate Fight with Robbers. San Antonio, Texas, papers, 30th ult., are filled with accounts of a recent dreadful en counter with a band of ruffians in that city, during which five persons were killed and one wounded. On the night of the 29th, a few miles below the town, the wife of Mr. Garza was killed in her house by seven or eight as sassins, and the house then robbed of money and valuables. Next morning Sheriff Henry, with a posse, hastened to the place of the bloody scene. The Texan adds — “ About 12 o’clock a gang of a dozen.des peradoes had collected in the city on the west side of the river, many of them in a darkened room, as a sort of resort for the moment.— Here the shooting commenced between the desperadoes and three or four citizens. Fiel strop killed one of the desperadoes, and was shot through the head by another. At this awful juncture, Jim Taylor, than whom a bra ver man never lived, gave orders to three Of his comrades to follow him—and at the same moment he broke through the window into the darkened room. As he entered, Bill Hart, a notorious character, shot him through the breast, and at the same moment a gun was pointed at Bill Hart by another person, when Taylor exclaimed, *he has shot me, let me shoot him/ and fired. Both fell. Citizens commenced rushing in well armed, as well as many of the desperadoes, and the shooting be came general. The gang of rowdies broke from the room by a back door ; many of them who came up after the melee commenced im- fled, finding that they were coming to close quarters. By thiß time at least three hundred citizens had collected, all well armed; for it was well known that this gang of row dies could have at their command seventy-five or one hundred men within fifteen minutes.— Many of them came in sight, but very wisely withdrew. Five persons were killed, two cit izens and three of the desperadoes.. Taylor may recover. At this stage of affairs the city authorities commanded the multitude to disperse, and they immediately obeyed the command.— Great excitement still prevailed. We hardly dare prophecy what may be the result.” Real Estate in San Francisco. —As an example of the fall of prices in San Francisco, a correspondent, writing under date of the 18th of April, says: “ A certain hotel in this city, once leased at $72,000 a year, is now let at $7,200, or 10 per cent, of the first sum; think to what disasters a man might he easily led, predicating his movements upon the first-named income! Not far from where I write there is a building under lease at $3O per month that once paid $4OO a month. But these instances are so oommon, the ruin and wreck in real estate long since so general, that they have ceased to attract notice/’ figgF* Henry Fife, now in jail, in Allegheny County, for the murder of the Wilson family at McKeesport, has had information lodged against him for the murder of Samuel H. White, of Washington Co. Ex-Governor Philip Francis Thomas, of Maryland, to whom, it is said, the Gover norship of Utah was tendered by the Presi dent, has declined the appointment, on the ground of inadequacy of salary.

Examination at Litiz.: —The annual ex amination of the young ladies at the Litiz Academy took •place on Thursday last. The exercises, we learn, were very interesting, and a Targe concourse of strangers was present —our city, as a matter of course, contributing its foil share. The farewell address was written and spoken by Hiss Emma Rauch, of thin city, and the production is highly com mended. The vacation commenced on Friday. Badly Burned.— Two of .the children of Mr. P. Donnelly, residing in Plumb street, were badly burned on Wednesday evening, by the bursting of a fluid lamp, caused by its being upset by the children whilst reaching' for something on the table. The mother was teitiporarily absent at the time. Dr. John L. Atlee, jr., was ealled in and attended to the Injuries of the little sufferers. Mayhem.— Patrick Nolan,' a rather notori ous character, was arrested on yesterday week and com mitted to prison on a charge of biting off the ear of Hr. Bentz, one of the proprietors of the Washington House, Columbia. It appears that Nolan entered the bar room Intoxicated, and behaved in & rude and boisterous manner, when Mr. Bentz remonstrated with him and eventually took hold of him to put him out. Nolan then turned round, caught Mr. Bents’s ear between his teeth and bit it completely off. Nolan was subsequently taken before one of the Judges in this city, on a writ of habeas corpus, and admitted to bail. The case will be tried at the August Sessions. Somnambulism. — On Friday night.; fibout 12 o’clock, a German, named Martin Hildebrand, stopping at Miller’s Hotel, East Chesnnt street, got up in his sleep and Btepped out at the window, thinking that he was at the door. He fell from the third story window, a distance of thirty feet, against a tree, which standi in front of the house, and from thence to the pavement, breaking his left arm at the wrist, and also severely braising his head and face. Dr. John L. Atlee, sr., was called in, and attended to the wants of the unfortunate man. On Saturday morn ing he was taken to the Hospital, and at last accounts was doing as well as could be expected. Drowned.— Mr. John G. Kleiss, formerly of this city, who removed about a year ago with his family to Keokuk, lowa, was accidentally drowned in the river, near that place, on the Bth Inst.

He occupied a seat in the Common Council, of this city, during the year 1855, and for several years Secretary of the American Fire Company. Columbia and Reading Railroad.— The subscription books for : the stock of the Columbia and Reading Railroad are to be opened, at Litiz, on to-morrow. It is said that several responsible parties fn?m a distance are pushing forward the project. Turners’ Pic Nic. — The Turners paraded the streets yesterday morning, accompanied with excellent music from Heptlng’e Band, and proceeded to Frantz’s Grove* on the Milleraville Pike, where they spent the day very agreeably in the pleasures of a Pic Nic. Examination at Millersyille.— An ex amination of the graduating class at the Millersville Normal School took place on Friday. Speechifying, reading of Compositions, Ac., was the-order of th* day, and the young ladies and gentlemen acquitted themselves most creditably. Conestoga Steam Mill, No. I.—As great auxiety exists among the operatives of this mill, who were working in it at the time of the Sheriff’s sale—and who have been kept out of their back pay on account of certain proceedings taken into Court, we give a brief recapitulation of the circumstances which led to the delay in receiving the amount due to them. The first cause, as is well known, was the time given at the Sheriff’s sale, for the payment of the purchase money; then when the time arrived for recording the deed, it was discovered that a company coming from Philadelphia, and who asserted that they would have given more for the Mill, but had been detained on the day of the sale in a snow storm; the consequence of which was, that, on the 18th of April, John M. Dutton, a stockholder residing at Philadelphia, petitioned the Court to set aside the sale, giving the following as his 1. Tho process of execution should haT© been sequestra tion, not sale of real estate. 2. The corporation had no power to waive inquisition— as they had done. 3. The directors bad no such power either, and if they had they had improperly exercised it. 4. The waiver not being attested by the Corporate Seal was not the act of the defendant. 5. The sale was not timely advertised. 6. The sale was not advertised for three whole weeks and otherwise according to law. 7. The property should have been better and longer advertised. 8. The property was Improperly described. 9. Valuable improvements were not mentioned. 10. The property was sold by the Sheriff at a grossly in adequate price. 11. The whole proceedings in the sale were informal. Upon the presentation of this petition, the Court granted a rule on the purchaser, why the Bale should not be set aside on the grounds stated above. This rule was return able during the present week; but ns all cases for argument must be set down, by either of the parties, nine days before the first day of the term at which it is intended to be argued, and this not having been done in the matter in question, and for reasons best known to the parties inter ested in the delay, the case, unless abandoned by the petitioner, and the Sheriff allowed to obtain confirmation of the deed, cannot be argued until the third woek In September; it is, therefore, probable that the back-standing wages of the factory hands of Mill No. 1, due at the time of the Sheriff’s eale, will not be paid until next October, unless the parties now running the Mill make some special arrangement to do so on their own account.— Thursday's Express.

Gibbs was talking to some gentlemen in his gun shop, No. 22 North Prince street, on Wednesday afternoon, he laid ont of his band an unloaded pistol which he had been showing them, and the next moment (thinking he was again taking up the same) he inadvertantly took up one that was loaded, and pulling the trigger, let it down again, when it immediately went off in the direction of bis left hand, taking the skin off the inner fleshy part of his hand and a little from one of his fingers.

Clark, Marietta, met with an accident on at !James Duffy A Co.’s Planing MSI, by ttfir folling Wauk"of jfured stuff.” Dr. Groive was immediately ealled in, who reported the poor little sufferer to have both of his legs broken. A Valuable Cough Medicine. —Most per sons treat* Cough-or Cold with indifference, regarding it a£a simple matter which will subside of itself without any medical treatment. There Is no greater mistake than this, although they frequently doget well without any medicine, yet aCough or Cold Iskltfays'kymptoinatlc, and should be arrested In the early stage of the complaint. Dr. Keyser’s Pectoral Syrup, sold by Heialtah, 13 East King street, will .aa surely cure these eases aijvater will put out fire. Don’t delay then in curing the first approach of Pulmonary by taking “Dr. Kayseris Pectoral Sytup.” Ransom, off a Female Captive from the IndlaniMiiie .Victim of tne Spirit liaise . - .Uassacre* Some time since the papers were filled with exciting, in some instances, exaggerated ac counts of Indian massacres in lowa and Min nesota. The outrage at Spirit Lake, however, was the only one which resulted seriously to the settlers. A correspondent of the New York Evening Eost, writing from St. Paul, Minnesota, after stating the active preparations now being made by theUaited States troops to chastise the Indians, gives the following in teresting narrative: Mrs. Margaret Ann Marble, one of tives taken at Spirit Lake, at the time of the massacre, arrived here this evening in oharge of Mr. Charles E. Flandrau, agent for the Sioux of the Mississippi. Oh the 13th of Maroh, a band of Indians came to their resi dence at Spirit Lake, lowa, murdered her hus band and took her prisoner to their camp, where she found three other white female captives—a Mrs. Thatcher, a Mrs. Noble, aod a Miss Gardner. Mr. Marble thinks the husbands of Mrs. No ble and Mrs. Thatcher both escaped being killed, but the entire family of Miss. Gardner fell a prey before Miss G’s. own eyes, and then she was dragged away to the wigwam of the war chief of the red murderers and brutally violated. Immediately after committing the murders at Spirit Lake, the Indians, with their 'captives, started westward, and travelled for about one month through a circuitous, rough road, unknown to any except the savage, and encamped at last at a place called Skunk Lake, west of the Big Sioux river, and about one hundred and fifty miles northwest of Spirit Lake; where the outrages were committed. On the route the captives were subjected to the Bevereßt hardships and torture, being compelled to carry heavy packs of shot and to perform the most degrading service by day, and submit to the most brutal outrages by night. For the first few day of their captivity they resisted their tormentors, but were beaten with clubs and threatened to be shot until they at last submitted, in the hope sooner to be rescued. Mrs. Thatcher, who was in feeble health, was unable to carry the burdens imposed upon her, and when endeavoring to cross the Big Sioux river upon some trees which the In dians cut down on both sides to form a bridge, she, being very weak, lost her balance and fell into the river. She dropped her burden and succeeded in swimming almost to the shore, when an Indian deliberately aimed his rifle at her and shot her through the head, killing her instantly. The body was left to float down the current, which was reddened with her warm life blood ! This tragic scene was hailed by the Indian women (who seemed jealous of the presence of the white captives) with wild shouts of exultation. Mrs. Marble informs me that she and her surviving companions read with a dreadful certainty the fate which awaited them when fatigue should overtake them. About fiive days after the band left Skunk Lake, two Lac qui-parle Indians, named “ Grey Foot” and 4t Roaring Cloud” visited . the camp. They professed to be on their spring hunt, but were really sent out on a special mission to find and rescue the captives. Ink-padu tabs, the war chief of the murder ous band, was seemingly jealous at first of the two visitors, fearing that they were spies, but upon being offered a lot of blankets, a few Indian ornaments, one gun and a keg of powder, they were induced to part with Mrs. Marble. The two Indians started immediately for Lac-qui-parle with Mrs. Marble, where, after ten days journeying, they arrived on the 20th of May. Grey Foot and Roaring Cloud extended to Mrs. Marble every facility for accomplishing her journey easily, carrying her across streams and over ravines, and fur nishing her with ample clothing and food. At Lac-qui-parle they took her to the chieFs wigwam where she was also kindly cared for, until some white friends arrived from the missionary, and conveyed her to the agency, where she remained a few days for rest, and then, accompanied by Mr. Flandrau, started for this place, and arrived this evening, as stated above. She is of course, in quite destitute circumstances, but will find plenty of sympathising friends here who will care for her. Mrs. Marble is only twenty-four years of age, middling size, fair looking and very agreeable in conversation. Of course she shows evidence of the hard service through which she has nassed.—She is a native of Stark county, Ohio. About ten years ago she removed to Michigan, where Bhe married a man by the name of Phips, with whom she resided but a short time ere he died. She afterwards married Mr. Marble, and removed to lowa, where the outrage was committed* The excitement created by the arrival of Mrs. Marble in town, and the fact of her destitute has resulted in the raising of a subscription of several hundred dollars for her relief already. It will be increased in ft few daya to a kandswo lifcfcL© oum. . On the 23d inst. a party of friendly Lac-qui parle Indians were dispatched to Skunk Lake with all the requirements, in the shape of presents, to purohase the release of* Mrs. Noble and Miss Gardner. Four days travel would bring them to the camp of Ink-pa du tah. Adulterated Liquors. The recent death of a young man at Bramp ton, Canada, from tasting the “essence of bran dy,” with which hewas manufacturing Cognac, and the revelation of the fact that strychnine is largely used in the manufacture of whiskey; has awakened some attention to the nature of the drinks which are sold for pure spirits.— Brandy, wine, gin and whiskey are so adul terated that comparatively little pure liquor can be purchased. Most of the brandies are a'mixture of diabolical ingredients, caustic enough to burn oak chips, to say nothing of the delicate tissues of the human body. The Springfield Republican Bays: “No secret is made of this business. The drug dealers of New York advertise openly the compounds by means of which the vile imitations of spirituous liquor are made. A circular from one of the drug houses informs the world that brandy number one—the best sort, we take it—is made of “ oil of brandy,” a poisonous ether, oil of bitter almonds, (as poisonous as prussic acid,) ethereal wine, al cohol, sugar and Malaga wine. No. 2, oil of brandy, acetic ether, tamarinds, cherry juice, sugar, all colored with brown gugar. No. 3, oil of brandy, ethereal oil, bitter almonds, elder flowers and tannin. No. 4, oil of brandy acetic ether, oil of peach, and alcohol. Gin —oil angelica, oil of juniper, ram, essence of lemon, salt, simps, and water; if smokiness is required, add a few dropß of creosote, and to make it biting upon the palate, add some caustic potash. The circular advises manu facturers to use'with discretion' tamarinds, French plums, cherry juice, brown sherry, oak shavings, tincture of catechu, powdered char coal, black tea, ground rice, and other ordina ry materials well known to distillers and rec tifiers. We should advise drinkers to use these villainous mixtures with discretion and throw them into the gutter.” Large Peculation. —William H. GibsoD, Esq., the State Treasurer of Ohio, has resigned his office, a deficit of over half a million of dol lars having been discovered in the Treasury. Mr. Gibson says the deficit existed when he took the office, having been caused by the de falcation of his predecessors. The Governor has appointed a committee of investigation. Daniel Clark (B, Rep.) has been elected to the U. S. Senate, by the'Legislatore of New Hampshire, to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the decease of Ssnator Bell. ST. LOUIS CORRESPONDENCE. The Approaching Harvest—Weather—Sam and Had— The New Merchants?'Exchange and other fine Buildings —Thv GdnvassinMlssouri—The K. N.’s and B.

Notwithstanding the oeld spring months and th* back wardness of the season, we have now every prospect for one of the most plentiful harvests ever grown in the West and South. There ia no estimatiag the extent of the fruit crop—lt is beyond Oar markets are abun dantly supplied with all kinds of vegetables, and straw berries are selling at 1 2% cts. per quart. We haTe had fine growing weather since our last date—every day a refreshing shower. On Friday evening a storm passed over our city, and the thunder and lightning was terrible —the min fell In torrents, and considerably mixed with heavy >™u stones. The rain continued at intervals until 11 o’clock on Saturday night.. On Saturday afternoon a violent storm jiassed over, and a great deal of hail fell in this locality. We have.not yet heard of any damage being done by this hurricane, but fear that it has made sad havoc-in thr north-’wesi. The rfverr r continue in good boating order; but freights are scarce. Emigration is still on the march, and the up river boats go out crowded.— Our mortuary report for the week does not exceed the gen eral average. Receipts-of produce are foiling off, bat prices remain about as last quoted. Our merchants met in their now hall on Monday last, and the occasion was commemorated by a collation pre pared by the President of the Chamber of Commerce.— This new Merchants’ Exchange building la one of the handsomest structures in the country—it fronts on Main street 123 feet, and runs back to Commercial street 86 feet, is built of white stone, resembling marble, and la four stories in height on Main, and five stories on Commercial street. The Exchange proper is on the second floor, and is one of the largest and finest halls we have ever eeen; being over 100 feet in length; 80‘feet In width and 63 feet in height to the top of the dome. Above the lofty windows are galleries and offices for the use of merchants. The hall is not quite finished. The dome is being painted In fresco, and wheD completed will be an ornament, not only to our city, but to the Valley of the Mississippi. There are two or three hundred merchants to meet on ’Change every day at 11 o’clock to buy and sell—samples of grain, flour, do., Ac. are there exhibited, and thousands of dollars dally change bands. Our Dew Custom House building ts progressing slowly, but it will be a year or more before it can be tenanted.— This is also a magnificent structure, and will add much to the beauty of our already beautiful city. There are also several other fine new buildings going up—tbreo or four of which are Intended for the new banks, which will short ly commence business under the Legislative act of last winter. Since the recent additions to our Court House, It pre* seats an appearance unequalled by any other building of the kind in the West. We think St. Louis can boast of more and finer buildings—both public and private,—than any city of Its population in the Union. J Mr. Stewart, the Democratic candidate for Governor, ha* * just closed his tonr in the Southern part of the State, and frbm all sections of that country we have the most gratl* fying news. Stewart la very popular wherever he la knowa, aod the present Indications are that his election Is beyond a doubt. The leaders of the Black Republlc&u party of Missouri will go to a man for Rollins, the Know Nothing Black Republican candidate, but we have oiir doubts as to whether the rank and 'file can be thus gulled-and 'hum bugged to vote for a Know Nothing, sworn to proscribe and crush to the level of the brute creation all persons born in a foreign land. We say we have our doubts as to the Gorman vote—(th« entire Black Republican party of this State, except the leaders) —going for a sworn enemy to their rights and privileges granted to them by the Con stitution ; If thoy do sow the seed thoy should reap the harvest, and we have no hesitancy in saying that Rollins is everything but a friend to the adopted citizen. We know some that will repudiate him, and the men that will support him—we know Germans that will do this, aud wa also know Know Nothings—men who are opposed to Black Republicanism—that are afraid to trust Rollins for fear he will turn Black if elected, and cheat them out of the spoils. The Black Republican leaders are 111 for Rollins, hence the want of confidence in him on the part of some of the Know-Nothings opposed to the free soil agitation In our State. The Missouri Democrat Is out flat-foot*d for the Know Nothing candidate, and has lately come to the con clusion that “Americans should rule America”—merely for the sake of opposing the Democracy, aDd running the chances of converting Rollins to their faith, with a view Of obtaining power and the spoils of office. Mr. Lusk, the editor of the Jefferson City Enquirer, Is also out for Rol lias. It will be remembered that we mentioned in a pre. , vlous letter that the clique of the Missouri Democrat had read Lusk and Price out of the party, because they thought lessly published a letter from Col. Benton exhonerating them from all blame in placing him in a wrong position before the people of the State, and throwing censure upon this Democrat eliqup, when they wanted It placed some where else. Price and Lusk completely cornered them, and fastened the “false position” so thoroughly upon the hangers on of the Missouri Democrat, and the leaden of Black Republicanism —with Boerusteln at Its head, that they were compelled to read these two deserters out of the house of a dozen or more “ B’s.” finding It divided against itself, and fearing a general crash and wreck of matter, and a complete annihilation of all their cherished hopes. But Lusk and Price won’t stay read out— they say they will stay In, and if successful, reap as much of the spoils as they can put their hands upon. Thus the B.’s, the P.’s and the L.’s are at “loggerheads”—and all for one common end— the “glory of the cause” and the spoils of office I We have the most gratifying accounts from Kentucky— the old line Whigs and the Democracy are determined up on routing Know-Nolhingl6m from the borders of the State. They have put up their best men for Congress other positions, and the prospects are that a general oq£ complete annihilation of Know-Nothlngism, under the lead of Bartlett, and Black Republicanism under the sole charge of Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, will be tri umphantly consummated on the Ist Monday In August.— Not only in Kentucky have we this feeling in favor of the Democracy and the Administration of Mr. Buchanan, but in fall sections of the West and South ; and we will be greatly disappointed if the Democracy of the Old Keystone do not place themselves In the front ranks, and on the Eide of the Constitution and th* Union l The vilest ene mies of our courso cannot help but speak in the most fa vorablo terms of Mr. Buchanan and his popular adminis tration. The porter in the house of Jett A Co., Jewellers, of this city, made tracks a few days ago with about $(,000 worth of Jewelry. He has not yet been apprehended. A reward of $5OO Is offered for his conviction. A Clerk, Jas. C. Emile, in the wholesale Dry Goods house of Eddy, Jameson k Co., carried away, at different times, goods to the amount of $2,000, and deposited them at a house In the lower part of the city, where he visited a young girl. Emile and the man in whose house the goods were deposited, were arrested, and are now in Jail in default of bail. A gentleman from Philadelphia, named Johnson, had his pocket picked, a day «r two since, of a watch and $2OO in money. Another gentleman from Pittsburgh, had hie pocket picked, (so the papers say,) of $14,000 in money and drafts; but we can hardly think any m» n •'ould go to a Billiard Saloon with .mount in his pocket, and more particu larly when persons and bouses are being nightly robbed In our city. Geo. Deß&um, a well known citizen of this place, was cotfimitted to jail on Frida; in default of $5,000 bail to an swer a charge of fraud. Alex. McCabe, a clerk in the dry goods store of Porter, White k Co., was arrested on Saturday on a charge of em bezzlement. He was locked up for examination today. Friday next ie the day fixed for the execution of Worrell, LaPoint, Shultz, and NoUJilin. ' Worrell baa had, however, execution stayed by the Governor for one week, and will not be hung until Friday the 26th Inst. The other thrpe, unless the Governor stays execution, will bo hung in the jail yard on the 19th. Two men are to be executed at Troy, Illinois, on Friday next, for the murder of a German pedlar, which was reported in a previous communication. The case of the city of SL Louis against Page k Bacon ' and the 0. k M. It. R. company was betoro the Court for some time, and the case was given to the Jnry eo Friday, and on Saturday reported that they could not agree. TkS— Court was then adjourned until Monday. " Wood’s Theatre has now/our stars engaged, and playing nightly to crowded houses—Mr. and Mrs. Locke, Miss Charlotte Crampton, and Mr. Mark Smith. The Marsh Juvenile Troupe are still delighting the au diences at the St. Louis Theatre. Within the past two weeks another theatre has been opened in our city—the Bowery—located ou Broadway. We have now four thea tres—the “Varieties” has been closed for over a year—it Is the handsomest theatre in the country, but has never been made to pay expenses, hence the closing ofits doors. Mr. G.
