On the afternoon of Thursday—St Patrick’s Day—it com
menced ralnlng,as is usual on that day,and in the night
a snow fell covering the grodnd, and the following night It
froze very hard/but not severe enough to kill the sprouting
buds. The rivers continue in good stage, and boats arrive
and depart with good, cargoes.' 'Receipts of Produce are
liberal, but no material change has taken place In the
market.
Pike’s Peak emigrants are beginning to arrive from all
quarters, and our city will be the great outfitting point. The
following Items in regard to the Pike’s Peak emigrants, we
find in the variom country papers :
Four' wagons and sixteen men passed through Rockford,
Illinois, on Thursday last, bound for Pike’s Peak.
A party of fifty lately started from Janesville, Wisconsin,
for the gold mines, with a train of ten wagons.
The Rockford (111.) Register, of Saturday last, publishes
a list of fifty-eight citizens of that place who are making
preparations to start to the new Western gold fields—these
in addition to several who had already started.
The Bt. Joseph Journal of the 14th, says:
The following named companies will be off for the mines
to-day. These are the first thoroughly organized compan
ies that have started this spring:
Bntterworth’s Company.—E. Batterwortb and wife, Cor
bie, Nye, and Kingston. This company has seven horses,
one yoke of oxen, two cows and three wagons.
Barker’s Company—L. Barker, Capt. M. Barker, L. Saun
ders, E. Barton, A. Peckham, 0. Adams, L. Milter. This
company has two yoke of cattle, one cow and one wagon.—
The above companies are from Branch county, Mich.
Sturgess Company—J. Btnrgess, Captain ; L. Stnrgess,
D. Sturgess, D. Sparks, A. Porter, W. Needham, J. Girtan,
James Bradford, G. Parker, Wm. Akeus. This company
has twelve yoke of cattle, fire horses and fire wagons.
Pigeon Company—A. Qicsman, Captain, D. Hicsman, T.
R. Wilcow, Jno. Dickson, James McKiver. This company
has 3 yoke of cattle, two cows and one wagon. The lost
two companies are from St. Joseph county, Mich. They
are now encamped In the lower part of townyand came in
by the Hannibal and Bt. Joseph Railroad.
In this city soreral parties aro fitting out, and will start
by the Ist of April, and leare the Missouri frontiers about
the middle of the month—which we think quite early to
start.
There has been nothing new received from the gold
region, and all those who bare made up their minds upon
going, will not permit adverse intelligence to change their
determination.
Quite ft tragedy took place in our city on Wednesday
last. A mau named James Hamilton married an interest
ing and beautiful young girl some time sioce, very much
against the wishes of her relatives and friends, and lately
Hamilton imagined that his wife wanted to leave him,
and frequently endeavored to get up a quarrel, and on Wed
nesday renewed the quarrol, asking his wife If she desired
to leave him; to which she replied that if he did not behave
butter towards her, she most certainly would, npon which
remark, ho drew a pistol and snapped a cap at her; finding
that it would not go off, he drew from hi* pocket a second
pietol, which was aimed at her breast, but luckily for her,
threw up her urm and received the ball in her elbow, glan
cing from which into her body, causing a painful, but not
dangerous wound. She ran, and he after her with a third
pistol, determined on taking her life, but was prevented by
friends interfering, when he pointed the pistol to his own
breast, drawing the trigger, and receiving the bap himself
—staggering fell to the floor, and expired a few hours after.
Mrs. Hamilton is represented as a peno-ahle and prudent
woman, and not given him the cuuse for his murderous
attack upon her and self destruction of his own life. Her
wounds are not considered dangerous, but it Is believed
amputation of her arm will be necessary to save her life.
The usual number of murderous Attacks, robberies, etc
have occurred during the week. Our Courts, and particu
larly the Recorder's Court, always find a full docket of all
kinds of violation of I ho laws and peace of the city.
Local items are entirely forgotten In the heat of political
excitement,which now pervad-s the minds of all our citi
zens—tor Reform in ueeded in the city and county, and
this election is expected to bring about that Reform, and
which th- Democratic party will be called on to mala—
excitement Is running high.
On Monday evening last, the Democratic City Convention
convened lu the Common Pleas Court Room. One hundred
delegates wore in attendance. Col. L V. Bogy, President
of the St. Ixiuis fi Iron Mountain Railroad, being one of the
Delegates <f the 4th Ward, was made chairman of the Cou
ventlon, k n.it being dreamed that, Col. Bogy would be a can
didate for Mayor in the Convention. Mr. Hiram Shaw
seemed to bo the prominent mao spoken of, but before his
name was presented he made it kuowu that he was not a
candidate, and if nominated would most positively decline
—that his private business was in such a situation as to
require all his time and attention, but, would heartily sup -
port thtTnominoo whoever he might be After the organl
ration, and when ready for tbe suggestion of candidates,
the name of Gen. Frost, accompanied with a letter pledging
himself to the Convontion and the Democratic party, was
submitted; next was that of i.'ol Bogy—who wished to
withdraw his name, hut bis friends would not listeu to It. —
Before the balloting commenced, Col. Bogy left the Conven
tion. On the Ist ballot, out of ‘.HI votes cast, Col. Bogy,
received 70 and Gen. Frost 20, whou the uominaation was •
made unanimous amid tremendous applause. A Committee
was appointed to wait upon Col. Bogy, and apprise him of
his nomination. In a few minutes after he trade his ap
pearance on the stand, and in a brief, but eloquent speech,
accepted the honor confered upon him, although contrary
to his desire and expectation—be bad been selected as the
standard bearer of tbe great Democratic party of St. Louis.
In accepting it, he did it at u great sacrifice to himself—
having already more business than he was able to attend
to, but as he had been selected, ho would not falter, but
take up tbe Democratic banner, and use his best endeavors
to carry it through the contest in triumph and to victory)
He would to the people in every Ward in the city,
and if the ticket was not successful—for which he enter
tained not the slightest doubt—it should be no fault of
his.
Col. Bogy is one ofour old and prominent citizens—a man 1
of great talent, energy and enterprise, and if elected wilj
make the bust Executive officer this city has ever had. Bo
is a man of wealth and a large property holder—he is iden*
tified with the city, and will have an eyo single to its future
prosperity and greatness.
A full and a good Democratic ticket was nominated,
which has struck terror into the camp of the opposition.—
A grand mass Ratification Meeting comes off to-night,
when tho Democrats will turn out in their strength.
The Know Nothing Convention convened on Tuesday
afternoon and nominated a “ straight-oat ” Know Nothing
ticket. The understanding was between the K. N’s and
Black Republicans, that this Convention was to nominate !
a man for Mayor that both parties could unite upon to j
beat the Democratic party; none, however, but the leaders j
were initiated or trusted with the secret. A Mr. Homes I
got up in the Convention, and proposed that the Conven- '
tion adjourn to meet with the Black Republicans and
nominate a “ Fusion” ticket. He was hissed and laughed
at by those not in the secret, but explained himself by
stating that to his own personal knowledge hundreds of
the “Americans” were going over to tho National Demo
cracy ; and that it was the foolishness of folly to run three
tickets. A committee was appointed to consider the pro
priety of a fusion ticket—that committee not being In the
secret, reported back to the Convention that they were
willing to sink or swim under thejr own colors, but invited
the opposition to join them on the ticket they that day
nominated. This report created great confusion among
the “ knowing ones,” and they went to work and nomlna
ated a straight-out Know Nothing ticket—such a one that
the Black Republicans cannot touch without forfeiting all
principle and utterly destroying their organization in this
city. Edward Wyman was nominated, and is consequently
the standard bearer of tho Know Nothing party. The Black
Republicans feel very sore at the action of this supposed
friendly Donvention ; called Ward meetings and elected
delegates on Saturday night, and meet in Convention to
morrow (Tuesday.) Some say they will re-nominate the
Know Nothing ticket—which will bo very mortifying, m
deed, to many of their party, whilst wo believe they will
settle the ticket with the present office-holders. The Black
Republican party will bo tho lowest in the field, and this i 8
their last kick; it will be dosperate, for they die hard. The
only Know Nothing paper in our city—the News— has re
fused to accept tho ticket, and pledges itself to the support
of the Black Republican party in the coming campaign.—
This leaves the Know Nothings without a paper. Politics
is now in tho mouth of everybody, and this will be one of
the hottest campaigns ever experienced in this city. We
will give ourWiewsas to the probable result when the other
party enters the Quid.
The Know Nothings had called a Ratification meeting
for Saturday night, but postpoued it until Wednesday next
—many of them laboring uader the delusive idea that the
Black Republicans will adopt tho present K. N. ticket and
unite with them in Mass Meeting. This is all moonshine.
We cannot see how the combustible elements can unite
and maintain their avowed principles—the on 6 organized
to disfranchise adopted citizens, and the other composed of
German adopted citizens almost exclusively, except a few
office-holders who stick to them for place and power—and
horetofor recognized as Anti Know-Nothings. If they do
unite they forfeit all respect for themselves and ignore
their principles in toto
The Democratic party is thoroughly organized through
out the city,and nothing buta union of all the opposition
can defeat it. Wo have every confidence, thus far, of car.
rying the election on the first Monday in April.
A portion of what was once tho farm of Gen. Lewis Cass,
and which ho offered to sell, twenty years ago, for $7,500
is now in the heart of the city of Detrait, Mich., aud is said
to be valued at $3,0^0,000.
Port Deposit Items.—Body Found.— The
body of Patrick O'Keefe, blacksmith by trade,
was found a week or ten days ago, at the
mouth of Chester river. This is the man who
was drowned at Conowingo early in the month
of December last. When drowned, he had on
his person about $lOO, but when found, the
money was gone. It is but fair to presume
that some human Jackal had discovered the
body previous to its landing on the shore of
Chester River, and robbed it! It will be
remembered that he fell overboard while
crossing the Susquehanna, in company with
others. He went down in a place where the
water is pear a hundred feet deep, called Job's
hole ; this hole is about two miles loDg by six
hundred feet wide, and hence the fruitless
efforts to obtain his body.
Am. algapation.—There were full one hun- ’
area marriages of blaok men to white women
ouring the year 1858, and seventy-two of
these marriages took place in Massachusetts.l

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, March 24.—A true bill of
indictment against Daniel E. Sickles, for
the murder of Philip Barton Key, was
returned by the Grand Jury to day. Messrs*
Stanton, Magruder, Chilton and Ratcliff,
appeared as counsel for Mr. Sickles. It is
stated that either Mr. Bradley or Mr. Carlisle
will assist the prosecution. There is no truth
in the report that the Hon. Geo. E. Badger
will take part in the case. The prosecution
will at first simply prove the act of killing,
but should the fact of the seduction be urged
in palliation, testimony as to the antecedents
of Mr. and Mrs. Sickles will probably be
introduced, which may open a wide field for
the admission of the testimony bearing upon
the characters and relations/of all the parties.
The day of trial is fixed for the 4th of April.
Tbe question of an extra session may be
regarded as postDoned—not decided. Every
thing depends upon the ability with which the
head of the Post-Office Department shall cope
with the difficulties he has to encounter.
A company of emigrants for Arizona are
being organized here under the auspices of
Capt. Foreman, which will start 'for that
couatry from Norfolk on the Ist of June.
Attorney General Black has, this afternoon,
decided against the legality of tbe recent
removal of the Boston Post office. It now
remains for the Postmaster General to take
action in the premises.
Much concern has recently been manifested
by several of the Foreign Ministers regarding
the Arizona emigrant movement, and it has
been stated that the Administration is opposed
to it on the surmise that it is connected with
General Walker; but the assurance is given
that such is not the case, and as a consequence,
the opposition which was raised against the
expedition has closed, as it is claimed that the
Administration cannot be averse t-> legitimate
colonization in the United State*. A company
of emigrants is now forming in this city.
Lt. General Scott has arrived here. He
had an interview with the Secretary of War
this morning, and will remaiD several days on
business connected with his official position.
Nicholas Cleary, of California, has been
appointed Naval store keeper at Shanghai,
China.
A Nice Question Decided. —Under an act
of Assembly, says the Pittsburg Chronicle,
locomotives are compelled to whistle before
coming to the crossings of tbe public roads.
If they do not, the company is liable to a pen
alty. But if the locomotives whistle and
there by frighten a team of horses, and serious
damage be done—which is not unfrequently
the case—who then is to p<iy ? This question
was decided in Norristown, last week, in the
case of Stephen D. Kerkner vs. The Phila
delphia and Norristown Railroad Company.
This suit was brought to recover damages for
injuries done to a horse of plantiff’s in
consequence of blowing the whistle, thereby
frightening the horse, so that he ran back,
caught his foot in the switch, and sprained
his leg, so that he was rendered unfit for use
for a long time after. The defence was, that
the company was not responsible for tbe acci
dent. Verdict in favor of defendants.
Fatal Accident. —The boiler of the Loco
motive Meteor, attached to the through freight
train to Philadelphia, exploded some three
hundred yards this side of Elkton, on Satur
day morning, tearing it to pieces, and horribly
mutilating Lucias M. Hall and Edward Bon
ner, engineer and fireman. The report of the
explosion was such as to alarm the people of
Elkton, as it caused the houses to shake as
though there had been an earthquake. One
piece of the locomotive, weighing 400 pounds,
was blown three quarters of a mile, and the
fire box about a mile. The brakesman had
been riding on the engine, but had gone back
to adjust the signal lamp on the train, a few
moments before the explosion occurred, thus
narrowly escaping with his life and without
injury. Mr. Hall belonged in Littleton, Mass.,
and Mr. Bonner in Cheater Pa. They were
both young men and unmarried. We presume
their bodies were forwarded to their friends
for interment. The Meteor was a staunch
locomotive, having been built by the New
Castle manufacturing company.— Del. Repub

By the steamship Magnolia, at New
Orleans, 17th inst., we have Galveston papers
of the 15th instant.
Captain Lee, U. S. Army, in command at
Fort Quitman, a new post established near
where the road from San Antonio touches the
Rio Grande, has nearly completed the erection
of good and comfortable quarters for the
troops. This is the most important military
post on the whole line to California, it beiDg
located at a place where the Indiana in their
stealing excursions cross the Rio Grande in
going to and returning from Mexico.
A band of fifty-two Seminoles, belonging
to Wild Cat's people, who have been in Mexico
for some years, have applied to Capt. Cald
well, at Ft. Duncan, for an escort to enable
them to traverse Texas on their wpy back to
their tribe, settled on the Arkansas frontier.
Capt. Caldwell has granted the request.
The wheat crop is growing rapidly near
Dallas. Another steam flouring meal be

A large amount of lumber, for railroad use
in Texas, continues to be received in Galves
ton from the Calcasieu (La.) saw mills.
Satisfactory progress is making daily on
the various railroads, of which Houston is the
centre. The Houston . Tap and Brazoria
Company have received advices of the ’ship

Capt. Harby, of the revenue cutter Henry
Dodge, has arrested at sea, near Sabine Pass,
a desperado named McCormick, who was
accused of committing a most cold blooded
murder near the Sabine.
t The Galveston News of the 15 th learns
from Colonel Lookridge that a train of six wag
ons and thirty men of his “ expedition " left
San Antonio, a week ago, for Arizona, and
that a large emigration will go this spring for
Houston.
ARREST OF A SLAVER CAPTAIN,
Key West, March 21.—The U. S. Marshal
has arrested Capt. Mathias Lind of the slave
brig Tyrant, of Rockland, Me., which brig was
previously reported as having been ashore on
the Marquesas. The Tyrant sailed from New
York in November for Loando, having been
cleared in the name of Capt. Lind. Her name
has been found on her stern, under several
coats of paint. She took in 230 negroes on the
coast of Africa, and after having been chased
by two cruisers, one of them a British steamer,
finally reached Havana, where she got rid of
her cargo. She was suspected at Havana, and
a .man of-war boat sent to board her, when
she slipped her anchor and managed to escape,
but was subsequently run ashore at the above
place, where she was found by the wreckers,
who brought both the vessel and the crew to
this port. The crew, nine in number, together
with the captain, were subsequently arrested
here, but afterwards discharged with the
exception of the captain.
Pennsylvania Mining Region.— A corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writing
from Minersville, under date of the22d, says :
> Your correspondent has been around a con
siderable portion of this mining region, and
finds a large amount of loss has been sustain
ed by coal operators, in consequence of having
their mines flooded out by the recent heavy
rains. This falls very heavy, not only on
operators, but operatives; it must certainly
tend to enhance the value or price of coal ma
terially. As a general thing the coal miners
are very needy, from the long continuous bad
times. The present active demand for large
coal for the iron furnaces, and the short supply
at present, consequent on the stoppage of the
large white ash collieries, will cause a material
advance for the large sizes of coal. The more
experienced, and less needy operators, are
backward about contracting for any large
amount of lump coal, and there is evidently,
a desire on the part of iron men to contract
for future delivery ; many of them arc now
sojourning here for the purpose of making
contracts. All the iron men, whose works are
at all near the canal, are desirous to receive
coal by that . means, rather than by the
Reading Railroad, as from ten to twenty cents
per ton is said to be saved—quite an item in
a large business.
The region suffering most from water is
along the Broad Mountain, commencing at
the large operation known &b the Montekey
Colliery, extending along by Greenberry
valley. Then most of the places about the
Mine Hill Gap, and over by the Pine Forest,
at Tamaqua ; it is Baid many of the larger
places are suffering materially. Quite a
demand is created for pumps, something of
a God-send to the idle machine shops.

PROM TEXAS
| The Sleeping local cotempo
| rary of tbe Johnstown Tribune . describing the
new sleeping cars lately placed upon tbe
Pennsylvania railroad, says they are models
of beauty and comfort. The outside of the
cars are finished in a workmanlike manner,
and the internal arrangements are dressed up
in a Btyle of elegance seldom to be seen. Tbe
apartments in each car are entirely separate
from each other, being divided by a partition,
and provided with a door which can be shut
and locked by the occupants of the apartments
thereby rendering them secure from any in
trusion or annoyance lroin other passengers
or persons walking through the cars, and
enabling them to obtain that rest which those
who ride in other passenger oars so ranch
desire bat cannot find. Since these cars have
been placed upon the road, we have been
informed that the number applying for apart
ments therein, at either end of the road,
would be sufficient to fill two cars of the same
kind with each train.
JEFFERSON AND CUBA.
PhiladeCphia 1 March 12.
The New York Times* despatch says, “ A
highly interesting letter, from Commodore
Charles Stewart, was to day handed to Presi
dent Bnchanan, disclosing an item of secret
history never before divulged. President
Jefferson’s gun-boat navy, which was the
sabject of much ridicule, was ostensibly built
for the protection of our sea coasts. One
hundred and eighty of those boats were sent
southward. Commodore Stewart now makes
known the fact that these boats were built
for the special purpose of taking possession
of Cuba, but before the plans of Mr. Jefferson
were perfected, oar relations with England
became threatening, and tbe project was
DOBtponed and never afterwards revived. It
is believed that this precedent act by Presi
dent Jefferson in fillibustering will have some
influence in directing the future policy of Mr.
Buchanan, should Mr. Preston fail in his
efforts to make a purchase of Cuba.
New Spring Trade. —The Philadelphia
Gazette is jubilant over the Spring business
prospects. It says the country seems resolved
not to gratify the croakers. The city joins in
the agreement. The country rushes forward
to buy unbounded quantities of merchandize,
and the city sells a 9 freely as though confidence
had never been impaired. Lethargy is con
quered. The nightmare, which sat so heavily
upon trade, has been subdued. No more do
gloom and despondency oppress the spirit of
industry. Commerce thrives apace. The
Spring trade is magnificent.
Jpg?* Of the China tea trade a Hong Kong
circular says that, January 14, the exports
stand thus; To Great Britain millions

and 34f millions the season before. To the
United States 181 millions this season, against
21} millions last season, and 20 millions the
season before. The stock unsold at all the
ports is now reported at 113,500 packages,
against 545,500 packages at a corresponding
period last year.
Lumbering. —The Jefferson Star says that
more attention has been 3 given to square
timber in that region this year than heretofore,
tbe board business usually drawing the chief
attention of lumbermen. The number of
rafts landed at the mouth of the creek at
Brookville, within the last two weeks, is
stated to be near five hundred.

SUFFERING HUMANITY EE AD THIB
The undersigned takes this method of informing the
public generally that there is no medicine now offered to
the public that is equal to DUVALL’S GALVANIC OIL in
relieving suffering humanity.
I I was an observer of its effects in a frieDd of mine, who
buffered almost everything from a neuralgic affection which
resisted the best medical treatment in Centre county. We
applied freely the Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and
gave some inwardly, and in 20 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 time. A case of Felon was cured in
nearly the same length of time.

one of the very best medicines for sore and painful dis

dow, so far as I know, he is a hale and stout man This is
not the only case where the Galvanic Oil has surpassed
human expectations. _ln every case where I have recom

Lightning rods*
To all who intend protecting their property from
LIGHTNING, a few facts may not be unwelcome.
THE ELECTRO MAGNET LIGHTNING ROD
has been before the pnblic for tioenty years ; has been the
means of saving a vast deal of property and many lives,
and has Dover in a single instance failed to meet the high
est expectations of its value. Hundreds of our own citi
zens can testify from their own knowledge Of its ability
to protect property in safety; who have been eye witnesses
where buildings public and private, churches aDd school
houses, have been saved from destruction—the rod receiv
ing and carrying harmless to the ground, strokes which
but for them would have caused the total ruin of the
building and all within it.
Tbe superiority of these rods over any - others in use,
has been testified to by men who have no superiors in
general science or in this department. Recommendations
to the number of six thousand can be 6een at the factory.
The United States Patent Office is protected by my Rods,
having been selected from all others in use as the best aDd
most reliable. Considering the character and position of
the men who have charge of that institution, uo higher
testimony could bo desired.
Persons residing at a distance should bo on their guard
against a class of swindlers who by false representations
of every description, seek to mislead the purchaser.
Where my ageuts are not personally known as such, the
only safe plan is to apply, by letter or otherwise, at tbe
Factory.
