We have still farther accounts frum the border counties
and it seems that the notorious Montgomery and his ban*
dlttl of Black Republicans,are still infesting the soil of
Missouri. They went to a house owned by Mr. Jackson,
In Bates county, and undertook to rob it, bat were met by
the proprietor, who fought them as long as he coaid, but
being wounded by a rifle ball, retreated Into the house.—
He and his family occupying the npper part and a store
below. The desperadoes then set fire to the bnildlng.com
pletely destroying It and its contents valaed at $8
and the members of his family were repeatedly shot at as
they ran to eecape the flames. The outlaws stole four
horsee from the neighborhood, and then made their retreat
across the river with a threat that they would return. The
Governor of our State has been apprised of this invasion,
and has sent a special message to the Legislature, now in
session at Jefferson city, upon the subject.
This is the way that the Mack Republicans Intend to
keep up the excitement-until the election of 1860. It is
their maio plank—knock that frum under them, and down
falls the whole fabric Do the Black Repubicans In your

hellish invasions comes somewhere from the North—some
body foots tlii* 'llII uf blood, plunder and mujder. Even
sump of the Black Republicans in this vicinity are heartily
sick of the party thus k-pt together—-vith no other Idea
or principle, but aaiTATtox. It is a bad plank In the Black
Republican Platform, and no man with a single grain of
feellnk. or common humanity can «an<rtion it. Yet, we are
sorry to say. It is done. They In the North do not see the
misnry and distress that they are encouraging and heaping

As Is usual with the Democracy, the Bth of January is
always celebrated by a mass meeting of the Democratic
party. The newly el.-ct.-d members of th« Central Com
mittee, convened at “Tammanv Hall”—onr new Demo
cratic Head Quarters —and organized for the present year
In the evening a mass meeting was held at Washington
Hall.
The meeting was addressed by Tboi. C. Reynolds, Esq 1
Mej. C. F. Jar-kson. Mr. Henderson. Dr. Robinson, Col.
Bogy and Mr Tlnn*»i»t John Hogan, oureffleieut and worthy
Postmaster n-made some very hnppy remarks on bis
position, past and present, towards the Democratic party,
and towards the hero of the battle of New Orleans; he had
always been a Ja’kson man, had voted for him. honored
him when living and reverenced his character when dead.
'He concluded by an earnest exhortation to the party to get
to work early.and prepare for the Spring election. He said
that It had been arranged to have no resolutions. Every
mnn was expected to become a part of.a Committee of the
Whole on resolutione. re*olve to carry the April contest ae
Democrats, to help to make the principles of Jackson per-
T.id« the country, and th»n *V atKcesa of the party would
be certain and its triumph complete.
The Democratic party is now a nnjt In this city and
county. To be sure thore are friends of Judge Dong'as
and friends of the Administration, but all are determined
to preserve the unity of the party by allowing by-gones
to be by-go Des; and It was truly gratifying to see the
Democracy rallying as they did on Saturday night in one
common cause —in opposition to Black Republicanism.
Sectionalism and all the other evil Umi arrayed against
the Democratic party, the Union and the Constitution
We did a glorious thing hnt summer in defeating Frank
Qlalr_in giving the first shot In the ranks of the enemy
and the victory will not be complete until the Democracy
re-as c umes the reins of our City Government In the ap
proaching springelection. Our city taxes have been greatly
and Indeed alarmingly Increased since,the rise and triumph
of Black Republicanism in our midst, but we are most
happy to announce that that leach upon the pockets of
our citizens is as rapidly on the decline. All that the
Democracy bave=to do in Ap-11 13 to stand shoulder to
shoulder together—present an unbroken front, and the
monster will be forever crushed out, and present appear
ancet indicate such a result. The laboring men are satis
fied that Black Republicanism means a reduction in the
price of labor, that the landed lords and the wealth may
profit off of the sweat < f the laborer. Let the working man
look around—let him ascertain the price of labor lu all the
cßlea governed by Black Republicans, and compare that
price with the standard of those administered by a Demo
cratic city. The attempt was made here lost summer to
cut down the price of labor to 50c per* day, but the labor*
log men turned out at the election, voted the Democratic
ticket, and defeated Mr. Blair and his “ free labor ” party.
and wiges are still kept up and the working mao ia reap*
log the benefits of hia Democratic vote.. Another attempt
o cut dowu the price of labor will be made in the Bpring,
but if we know the voters, the same result will follow that
of last August. We expect to sweep the city from centre
to circumferenco in April next.
The Democracy of the West and the South wore never
more united, and certainly nevermore determined to bat.
tie for the glorious and patriotic cause of Democracy. You
can expect a good account from them.
You are already aware that Stephen A. Douglas baa been
re-elected to the U. S. Senate by the Illinois Legislature.—

This puts a stopper to the bottle of Black Republicanism
in Illioois for some tim9 to come—lllinois, like Missouri
Is ever ready, and wields the power to crush .out Section
alism.
The Democracy of Kentucky made iho following State
nominations on the Bth Inst: Beriah Magoffin for Gover
nor, and Lynn Boyd for Lieut. Governor. This Is a most
excellent ticket, and their nomination is equivalent to au
election.
There were during the year just closed 48 fires in Chi
cago, causing losses la the aggregate of (334.125. Eleven
lives were lost by fire in the same -time. In 1857 there
were 48 fires attended by the loss of 25 lives, and $1,525,-
000 worth of property.
Another fire occurred at Camden, Ark., destroying the
large warehouse of E. Hill & Co., together with 1000 bales
of Cotton and other merchandize, on the night of the 25th

: Bine* the reassembling of Congress both Ben&ta and
House appear to be In s real business mood. Last week
was devoted principally to oologies on Gan. Quitman, tbe
Paciflo Railroad, and the Pension BUI. Several eloquent
and affecting speeches were made on the death of tbe vet
eran Quitman, all regretting departed glory and testifying
to his great worth as a aoldiar, statesman and eitisen, and
to Us many public and private virtues.
Quite an animated dabata has sprung up to *o
tba Pacific Railroad. fanatof Bigler, of Pennsylvania, laat
week, delivered a vary able and effective argument In fevor
of this gnat enterprise. fie represented the urgent necessity
of the road in ease of war, Its immense advantage to our
commerce in time of peace, and urged its construction
without delay, though opposed to giving the government
tbe entire control and management over it. This is cer
tainly one of tbe great necessary measures of our nation,
which will be of untold use to us. Uncle Sam’s assistance
would therefore help very materially this great work, one
of the colloesal undertaking* of the age.
Tbe Pension Bill has been passed by the House, but It Is
now thought that a re-consideration of its provisions wUI
entirely quash It, Ifit were to become alaw,the drain
upon our depleted national eoffera would be enormous
Mr. Nichols, of Ohio, stated that he bad made a calculation,
aod found that it would require $36,000,000 to start the
system. What It would require after that would al» take
mammoth figuring. It is supposed, however, that itwoutd
be an additional expense per annnm of ten or twelve mil
lions minimum on the government—not a small sum, even
If the Treasury was plethoric, aod not barren as now.
On Monday last the French Spoliation Bill passed the
Senate by a vote of 26 to 19. It is understood that tbe
claims will be paid, provided the amount does not exceed
$5,000,000. This is the same Bill which was vetoed by
Presidents Polk aod Pierce, and If it does become a law it
will not be regarded as unchangeable as the laws of the
Medes and Persians.
Tbe Pacific Railroad was tbe main subject In the Senate
oo Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Senators Davis,
of Miss., and Wilson, of Mass., both made speeches oo the
subject on Tuesday. Mr. Davis proposed a Southern route,
which Wilson objected to, designating Davis’ roots as tbe
Disunion Road, and recommending a route from Lake
Superior to Paget’s Sound, where plenty of “wood, water
and grass" could be obtained, which was not the case in
Davis’ route, It being an arid waste. On Wednesday Gen.
Houston advocated a Southern route, and denied that tbe
sentiments of the South were represented by Mr. Iverson,
of Georgia, in reference to a dissolution of the Union, and
made Mr. I.’s remarks akin to treason. Senator I. replied
that he was not in favor of a Union snch as Abolitionists
propose, and said that Geo. Houston did not represent
Texas, being cast off by that State. The galleries were filled
on Thursday to hear Gen. Houston’s defence against Mr.
Iverson’s charge. His speech was bitter, cutting and sar
castic, and Mr. I. richly deserved the withering rebuke he
received from Houston. He said that Instead of seeking
the Presidency, (with which Mr. I. charged him,) he would
not accept it from any party, and would willingly make
room for the Senator from Georgia.
Tbe Vice President’s speech, on taklDg leave of the old
Senate Chamber, is considered qnlte a model for beauty of
oratory and ebastenesset style.
Judge Douglas took bis seat in the Senate on Monday last.
The amount of free letters from the Washington Post
Office (according to P. M. Jones’ statement) for tbe quarter
ending Dec. 31, ’5B, was 692,137 ; stamps sold, $9,9>7; money
collected, $1,236; another evidence of the franking privilege.
Brig. Gen. Henderson was buried with the honors of war
on Monday. His corpse was followed to the grave by the
Secretary of War, maiy officereof the Army and Nary, and
a lurge concourse of citizens.
The Montgumery-English affair has subsided, and the

the cry of bard times will interfere considerably with the

On Tuesday ovening the first levee of the season was
given at tho Executive Mansion. It was very largely at

with cordiality, while Miss Lane, tastefully attired and
looking charming, did the honors of the White House with
her usual grace of manner. The East Room was a pe-fect
pinomms of pretty faces, fine firms, dignified Seuators.

however, did not seem to predominate among the fair sex.
though the Jack ot that-not-to-be despised article vas
endeavored to be amended by all the little mysteries of the
toilet which are brought into requisition on such occasions;
by Immaculate silks, velvets and laceg which were dit
p’oyed in prodigal profusion. There were, nevertheless,
some few faces whose features were classically beautiful,
but a great many bore evidences of artistic taste. Not being
a Judge of painting ot the fine arts, I forbear to prqjped.
Miss Lane receives visitors on Saturday between the
hours of 1 and 2P. M. The Ladies of the Cabinet are like
wise “at borne” every Thursday at the same hours. It has
boon announced that each Secretary intends giving two
evenlog entertainments during the session. S-creCarics
Thompson and Floyd have given the first ones. The

Curious Letter from a Suicide. —The lion.
John A. Tucker, who commited suicide a few
weeks ago in Georgia, left behind him the
following letter addressed to P. A. Colquitt,
Editor of the Columbus Times:
Dawson, Ga., Thursday, Deo. 16.
I am about to do a thing which I have had
in contemplation since 1848—viz : to rid the ,
world of me, and myself of an existence use- !
less to me and derogatory to others. And Mr.
Editor, how dare you or any of your readers
say, it is weak, or wrong, or unmanly to per
form the act that I am about to perform.—
Life is a burden to me—has been ior years.
I am driven on by a destiny I have no power ,
to control. Don't say tome: “It is your;
fault—you could act differently." It is untrue. j
I always wished to act differently—l have j
prayed to act differently—l have prayed to j
God to help me to act differently. lie knows •
my wish and.purpose were to be a good man.
This I have prayed for from boyhood; and 1
yet I have not been a good man. “ There is
a divinity that shapes our ends." There is a
power that drives U 9 on like a feather before
the wind, and we have as little power to direct
our course as the feather in the gale.
Now, with all my sins, follies and vices
clinging to my skirts, I am going unbidden
intu the presence of my God, to ask him why
I am j3ot ; the man I always desired to bo ; to
1 ask what punishment I am to receive for
knowing my duty, desiring to perform k, and
yet not having the nerve to do it. Dont't say
lam drunk either, for it is not so. I tell you
Peyton Colquitt, that I am doing this thing
upon reflection. I lay all night thinking of
it. I have looked at all tbe reasons for and
against it. In some respects I have been a
successful man. As certain as the world, I
would beat in the race for Jadge by more
than the Democratic majority. That is not
the thing with me. I would Dot live to be
President of the United States, unless I could
be the man I wished to be. From a boy, I
wished to be a great and good man—a mam
exerting a great salutary, moral influence on
mankind. But as it is, lam shedding death
shade and mildew from the high places in the
land.
I would have waited till I got home, but I
knew it would not do. I would then never
have discharged the duty I owe to myself and
mankind. I could not part with my wife and
little ones. Several times in the last few years
I have prepared myself for this event at home,
when my wife knew nothing of it. But to
look at the children and hear them say “Pa,"
or to look at a smiling and affectionate wife,
that anticipated my wishes—that forgave a
thousand follies—that never did an unkind
net —I did not have the courage to proceed.—
But believing as I do, that my departure from
this life will benefit my family, as well as
others, lam going to die here to day. I have
plenty of friends that will be sorry fur this ;
but to all of them I say, John A. Tucker never
professed friendship to any one, that he deser
ted in the hour of trial. My wife and my
little ones I commend to your care.
OLD GUARD.
FROM THE PLAINS.
Col. Sumner left for Fort Leavenworth
yesterday, under orders from the War
Department. It is thought that this transfer
has reference to the disturbances in the
southern part of Kansas.
John M. Guthrie, who left Salt Lake Nov.
27, gives a painful account of the suffering of
men and animals on the Plains in consequence
of the coldness of the weather. Men were
frozen to death at nearly every station of the
route. Ten of Major Russell's men bad been
frozen at one time.
The enow was very deep, and the weather
colder than had been known for thirty years,
the mercury linking to 27 degrees below aero.
A Terrible Scewe.— Aniong the prisoners
who recently escaped from the Columbus, (O.)
Jail, were two men imprisoned for the murder
of Ilenry Korrel, in June last, named Conrad
Seibold and John iTronooberger. On Satur
day last, the officers got on the track of Sei*
bold, who was running across a field, and after
a abase of boars, tbe panned occasionally
stopping to threaten bis partner* with his
pistols, the scene closed as follows, as we find
it in tbe Ohio Statesman, of the 2d instant:
Seibold finally g >fc on the track of the Cen
tral Ohio Railroad, and took refuge in the first
bridge over Alum creek, about three miles
east of this city. Seibold went over to the
east side of the bridge and swore he would
! kill the first man who attempted to cross the
bridge, at tbe*same time pointing his cocked
pistols at tbe officers who attempted to per
suade him to lay down his arms aod submit,
promising to treat him kindly, and using
every possible argument. Seibold hid them
he would give them twice the amouut of the
reward if they would let him go, and that be
would never be taken alive.
Ilalf an hour was spent in thus parleying,
when the officers sent to a neighboring farm
house and procured a loaded rifle, with which
they hoped to intimidate him. But tbe des
perate man was Dot to be intimidated. Officer
White took the rifle and called upon him to
surrender, saying that they were determined
to arrest him, dead or alive. To this Seibold
made no reply, but stepped to the end of the
bridge, where the stone embankment is about
twenty feet high. As the officer was about to
raise the gun to his shoulder, Seibold turned
his back to the crowd, placed the muzzle of
his single barrel pistol between his teeth, fired
and fell headlong down tbe precipice, dead !
Tbe officers, and a number of others who wit
nessed this terrible scene, rushed to the spot,
but the desperate man was convulsed with the
mortal agony of death, aDd a slight tremor was
all the evidence of life he exhibited after be
was reached.
Enlargement of the Pennsylvania Ca
nal. — At a recent meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, the following resolution was adopted :
“ Resolved, That in order to furnish greater
facilities for the transportation of freight on
the Canal, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will ncrease the capacity of the canal
from the Junction at Duncan's Island, to
Columbia, so as to give an uniform depth of
five feet of water throughout; and that the
Resident Eogineer be and he is hereby
instructed to submit an estimate of the cost
of increasing the length of the locks to pass
boats of 120 feet in length on that portion of
the Canal."

minds to a more earnest solicitude for that great and
commendable purpose it seeks to accomplish.

ments and opiuions upon Washington, as they have been
at various times expressed by master minds, and will be a
reportoire of historical matter appertaining to the country,
aedof interesting subjects, anecdotes, Ac., illustrative of tbe
“ Father of his Country.” and those noble compatriot
spirits, who so fearlessly toiled with him in the struggle for
our Independence

matter, with lists of names, as contributors to tbe Fuudß
and for the Gold Mounted Washington Portrait, and
through whose patriotic influence such names were col

SUFFERING HUMANITY READ TII I S
The undersigned takes this method of the
public Generally that there is no medicine now offer-d to
the public that is equal to DUVALL’d GALVANIC OIL in
relieving suffering humanity. •
I was an observer of its effects in a friend of mine, who
suffered almost everythin* from a neuralgic affection which
resisted the best medical treatment in Cen're county. We
applied freelv the Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and
gave some inwardly, and iu *2O minutes the patient was
asleep, and when awakened was free from pain, and con
tinued so. This is a positive fact which I am willing to
make good at any tirao. A case of Felon was cured in
nearly the same length of time.

Hear what Mrs. Tawjhn of DuncansvilU says
I have used the Galvanic Oil prepaied by J. 0 St-onernad.
of Lewisp.wn, Pa., for a very painful di-e*-** myself and
recommend It to others, and in every ca-e tound it to bo
one of the very best medicines for sore and painful dis
ease*/ Relieves all palo in a few minutes. Every family
should have it in the house.

due about the first of February nex'. a-d for monies bnr

four thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven del'ars,
($4 797 t‘o ) making the present indebtedness of the Com
pany six thousand seven hundred and n'uety seven dol
lars. ($6 797.00.) The balance due by the Treasurer, as
above stated and what Is yet unpaid on the 12th assess
ment (made November 12rh. 1858) will be snfflcient to
liquidate all the present liabilities of the Company. The
losbcs to the Company, since the 11th assessment, made
November 9th. 1857. amount to eleven thou-and seven
hundred and thirty-fire dollars ($ll 7*5.00.) Three thou
sand dollars of said loss, there aro reasons to believe, were
cnnsed by incendiaries. Three thousand two hundred by
lightning, and five thousand five hundred and ninety-five
dollars, by accident. The directors borrowed money to
pay for losses as they occurred, to avoid making more than
one assessment f-r the year. Members who haro not yet
paid their proportion of the 12th assessment are again
notified to make their payments soon, or they will be
called on by the collector, and he snl ject tn the additional
expense of mileage. All of which is most respectfully
submitted.

came enlarged and sore. I used poultices of sorrel, and a
wash of blue vitriol, without effect. Finding the sore ex
tending. I called on Dr. Ely, of Schellsburg, who pro
nounced it CANCER, and prescribed a wash of sugar of
lead and bread poultices, {finding these remedies of do
avail, l called upon Dr. Shaffer, of Davidsville, Somerset
county, who aleo pronounced the disease Cancer, and gave
me Internal and ex'ernal rem-diis—tho latter con i d«llng
principally of caustic; but all t» no purpose, as th* dis
ease continued spreading toward the n'»o© I next u-o-d a

Late in May I returned to Cincinnati, and again placed
myself under the change of Dr. Newton, with whom I re
