Si.LonSf March 28,1859. Politics now absorb all other matter*. The city U exd* t«d from centre to drcomferenc*. Tb® canrasi Is, If any thing, warmer than It was last August, and without doubt the hottest municipal campaign we hare ’ ever had. The •lection takes place next -Monday—one week from to4ay* The three parties are in the field with : frill tickets. The Democratic party stands aloof from all other*—they, unite with none—their canse Is just and 11 must prevail. Their organization must and thdUbe maintained. The different patties hold mass meetings in the various Wards every night. On Saturday night last the Democrats held one of the largest meetings of the present campaign, and perhaps the largest and moat enthusiastic political demonstration ever looked upon la this city. Col. Bogy, our worthy standard bearer addressed the masses, followed by Col. Barrett, our Congressman elect, John Hogan and others. At a late hour they formed a procession, and with music and banners marched to the residence of Col. Bogy, twelve or fifteen squares distant from the meeting. They did not come down town single-file or double-file, but thirty and forty abreast—literally blocking np the street and sidewalks, and extended in line some six or eight squares, presenting a magnificent display, and striking terror and dismay into the camp of the enemy. Col. Bogy again ad. dressed the crowd at his residence, when the different dele, gations repaired to their head-quarters. The Democracy are rising all over the city, and unless . the opposition unite, Col. Bogy will be our next Mayor. Some are for union, and others strongly opposed—both wings of the opposition have an organization to maintain,and a'unlon now will split them for all time to come. The Black Bepnbllc&cs held their meetlDg in the heart the city—at the Court House—and of coarse had a large meeting—composed of members of all parties, but there was no enthusiasm manifested; they see defeat, and feel it, too; they are for union of the opposition, but the Know Nothings are confident they can poll more votes than the Blacks, and ask them to come to the rescue A combination of the two factions is yet undecided. The Mobile Register ho* hoisted the name of Qeo. M Dallas for the next Presidency. The Augusta Constitution alist and the Charleston Courier indorse the course of the Register. There is just now a heavy current running In Kentucky and Indiana for Mr. Guthrie as the next Domocratio can didate for the Presidency. We have scarcely an item of an'* interest worth report ing; politics, as we said before, has absorbed everything else. A census of the State of Texas has just been taken, and shows a population of 41)8.020 against 212.402 iu the year 1856, when lowa had hut 102,000, though she now has over (100,000. We have rtvelvi-d nil kind* of reports from Plko’s Peak, and they are so conlllctlug that very little reliance can bo planed upon thorn. In the past week—the gold favor has greatly decreased In this locality, although emigrants are dally arrlviug from all quarters r.n routo for the now Eldor ado. Our first Impression, concerning (he great abuudanco of gold nt Pike's Puak, we still maintain; and that is, great disappointment will be tho fate of nil who go thore for the purpose of digging gold, with the antlckpatlou of making a fortune In that way. Wo think, now, that tho emigration will not be much more tbau half what was expected two months ago. Many as we have before said, arc going out on speculation—tak ing large stacks ot goods—mil as the limn mini be fed and clothed, such parties will make more ni Mi.ty than those in the mine* 1 Tin* weather has been r«markHhiy pleasant during tho w«ek, with Suverai fin-showers. The rivers are in good Ixmtlug order, and receipts of produce are fair. Sales on 'Change Saturday were as follows: Hemp from $ll2 to sllf> per too ; flour $5 to $6 ; Wheat $l.lO to $1.35 : Corn 70 to 80c; Oats 66 to 70e; Kye 90c ; Barley 95c: Pork $16,- 50: Whisky Hides 18%; Dried Apples $2,30 ; Peach es $3.25; Potatoes $1 to $1,10; Hay 90c per 100 lbs. The city is very healthy at present—iho average number of deaths per week is about 65. It may be interesting to your readers, and particularly those contemplating going to Pike’s Peak, as well as those hnviug frieuda tboro, to read something about the produc' tlon of the mines We find the following in the Nebraska City News of tho 19th. The first i-from Mr. Brookfield, who had previously writ ten very dlscouragingly from the mines: Another Letter from Mayor A. A Brookfield—The Prospects in the Mines —Wo are permitted to make the following extracts from a letter just received by Robert Lortou, Esq , from his brother in-law, Mayor Brookfield.- After Bpeakiog of their difficulties iu getting ready to com mence miumg, Mayor Brookfield says : *• Perhaps before 1 send this we will get our Tom (long) to work, so that I can inform you as to whut we can make per day. One of our companies, after, working two days, brought their proceeds to me to weigh this morniDg. It weighed a trifle over an ounce ($20.) I think their ma chine wastes a good deal. It is very poorly made ont of old wagon beds Yesterday, ft Billy Moore and myself worked our long tom for the first time. We were green hands, and not knowing how to set our machine, probably wq lost uearly all we ran through. To morrow we' shall have an old Caliiorniau to help us set it and work for the day with us. We have built a first rate dam across the creek, and have a fine chance for water.” From Cherry Creek—Reliable News—Prospects Fine Plenty of Timber. —Mr. D. M. Wooley, nephew of W. P Birchfield, Sheriff of this county, writes to his wife, under date of January 23d, 1859, as follows: “I have been out in the Rocky Mountains twelve days, prospecting. We have found where we can make from two to five five dol lars per day; lam going out again this week, to work. It is about fifteen miles in the mountains. The ground is frozen so that we cannot work to much advantage. The snow in the mountains is from ton inches to three feet.— Mr. Birchfield wanted to know whether there was any timber out here.; There is plenty of timber In the moun tains. Bacon is selling at fifty cents per pound, and Done to be got; beans $lO per bushel. There hasn’t been much work done, so we can’t tell what we can make yet. I don’t advise anybody to come, but ia the spring I tljink we can mako good wages. I am well and fat, and hearty as a bear. Direct your letors “ Mouth of Cherry Creek, by way of Fort Laramie.” P. 8. This is a specimen which I getVip in the Moan tains.” The specimen, we are informed by Mr. Birchfield, was “ shot ” gold—[Ed. News. Another Letter prom the Mines.— Mr. John B. Hall, a reliable young man who went to the mines from this city last fall, writes to his brother from near mouth of Cherry Creek, under date of January 30th. After mentioning that the miners were engaged mostly in sawing ont lumber to make sluices, long toms, cradles,‘and other fixtures for min ing, ready for work in the spring, Mr. Hall says. “We can’t do much mining until warm wather. We think then that the mines we have here now will pay from four to five dollars per day, and from what prospecting we have done in the mountains we think we will find some thing bettor in the 6pring, as there is too much snow there now, we can’t prospect them thoroughly ” Mentioning some who have retuned from the mines and reported unfavorably, Mr Hall says : “ I know some of them were scared off by the Indians, and some expected to find Gold growing on Trees in place of In the ground. So they were disappointed and left with out working any. We know there is gold here, and I, for one, can make more here than I can in the S tates. Give my respects to all enquiring friends. JOHN B. HALL. P. S—Since I got through writing this, there were two of my “ mess ” came in from the mountains, where they had been prospecting. They fetched in good news, so I opened this letter to let you. know It. They brought in some fine specimens, and' say we will make a good thing of it In thesprlng,and I think we will be good for from fire to ten dollars per day, and what they Bay is the truth; bnt we are going to keep it to ourselves until we can get to work at it, and when we do I will write you again. J. B. H. The following is the lateßt from the gold diggings: Leavenwobth, March 25. The Lawrence Republican says that a letter received from Mr. Mury, of the Original Lawrence Company, now located near tho town of El Paso, states that pleuty of Bhot gold has been discovered on the banks of the Arkansas, and that extensive prospecting yields from five to ton cents per pan. He thinks that the prospects are better than ever existed in California. The Balt Lake Mail arrived yesterday, but no papers were received by it A letter has been received in this city from Geo. Weidlor, who Is now at Fort Bridger. Ho has not been to Salt Lake City yet. He is much pleased with his trip, and speaks of having a good time generally. Yours, A White Man Elopes with a Young Negress—The Enraged Father Recovers his Daughter. —A young man waa arrested yesterday morning by officer Paur May, for the abduction of a young Degrees from Dear' born. His name was Alphonso Pearsoll, and he was taken on the complaint of the girl’s father, who followed them in for the purpose of getting his daughter back again. They oame to town night before last, and put up at the bouse of a negress in the Ninth Ward, taking lodgings for the Dight. The girl being under sixteen years ol age, a warrant was issued by Justice Purdy for abduction, at the de-ire of her father, whoso name is Jordan. The girl’s name is Hanna. They were found at the house where they staid over night, and brought into Court. The young mao stood up for his rights, and was not disposed ff to relin quish possession of the girl, whom he wub anxious to marry. Sho was a fat little wench of about fifteen, evidently devoid of any too muoh good sense, and as'anxious to marry as he was. The would be bridegroom did not hesitate to say that he loved her and should have her at any hazard. They might put him in jail, but if he didn’t get out in two years he should come after her. Being upbraided with the act by the father, he resorted to an artful dodge and asserted that he was a negro r but several of the race who were in the office examined him critically, and shook their heads. They were convinced that he wanted to kidnap the girl and take her South to sell, and told her ‘so, but she would not believe a word of it. They were a pair of as devoted lovers as one would meet in a twelvemonth. The father insisted that she should not marry her lover, and took her home with him, declaring that he should administer a sound thrashing as soon as he got her under the maternal roof. The young man was sent to jail to await an examination for abduction, upon which he will be prosecuted by the indignant f apa, who thinks he is not good enough to marry his daughter. Disinterested spectators thought that the sooner he got her married the better, in view of her indiscre tions, and so advised him, but he would not listen to it, and took her borne. The vehemence of the enamored lover’s attachment was quite edifying. He did not blush to declare it before all The world, and Baid he “ didn’t care who know’d it,” that he loved her and wob going to marry her. It was a bona fide love match, and a pity that it was spoiled. What shall.vye have next in the amalgamation line? The amiable Jndson and the sable Jordan may hitoh tor jflie samp post.—Defro# Free Press, 2£skrth2&d. A Remarkable Cask.— JameaStepbens vu convicted in New York on S&turday week of the murder of hie wife by poison. The Herald says: The leading points in Stephens case, so admirably set forth in the charge of Justice Roosevelt, are so far out of the common history of crime that it will be one of the leading causes celcbres in the history of Ameri can jurisprudence. The prisoner was a laboring man, in moderate circumstances, regarded by bis employers as a faithful and honest servant. He was a leading member of a sect noted for thepioas fervor of its converts. He was, in his wav of life, an eminently respectable man. His wife died after an illness of several weeks. One year after her death her remains were exhnmed by the authorities. Acute scientific analyses sustained the hypothesis that she came to her death by poison, A jury has in fact, decided, after a protracted and altogether a fair trial, that this poison was administered by her husband, in order that he might possess the more comely person of her niece. He attempted first to seduce the young , woman last named, then resorted to abpolnte violence, and afterwards blackened her character through the foalest and meanest of ail channels—an anonymous letter. Well, all this might have been, and yet the mao to day have stood as well as be did two ye irs ago, but justice overtook him, chiefly through bis own acts subsequent to his crime. The brother of the girl he had attempted to debauch, obeying his natural impulses, assaulted the seducer ; a prosecution followed, and during the examination of the collateral issue, the charge of murder was made by the girl. It was regarded lightly. Every one knows how much reliance can be placed upon words spoken under such exciting circum stances as those in which the' Bella were placed. But the prosecution was pressed on the side of Stephens and the charge was reiterated by the Bells. Tho exhumation of the body was determined upon, the friends of Stephens believing it would exonerate him. When the case finally came to trial it was not over and above strong for the prosecution. There were many little circumstances against the prisoner, but the chain was not entirely complete. The respectable character of Stephens, the necessary technicality of the very finely drawn though scientifically clear chemical testimony, the studious efforts to discredit the evideuco of the chief witnesses on,the part of the State, all went in favor of tho prisoner, and seemed to point towards no verdiot, and perhaps one of acquittal. But in tho course ot tho trial the defence proved too muoh, and added .important links to the chain of oiroumstantiai evidence which woighed down upon the prisoner. And bo was con victed first, through a prosouution he had BOt on foot against Robert Bell, and seoond, nut of the mouths of his own witnesses. The cloak of religion, availed him nothing. His offence found him out through his own acts, and ho owes to them chiefly, his position as a condemned man to day. Suspension of the Recruiting Service for Mounted Men.— lt having been deemed necessary by the War Department to suspend the recruiting service for mounted corps for the present, the number of men allowed by, law to those corps being complete, the Secre tary ■of War has directed that orders be issued to the following effect. The several recruiting officers of mounted corps will cease to enlist men from the date of the receipts of the orders. As soon as practicable, at any rate by the end of the quarter, they will close their rendezvous, and turn over their public proper ty to the nearest recruiting officer of the general service, and repair with their parties and disposable recruits to Carlisle Barracks- Their recruiting accounts will be closed and forwarded without unnecessary delay. The officers will be retained at the depot; beside the superintendent will be Lieutenant W. T. Magruder and J. N. Moore, first dragoons j K. Garrard, second cavalry, and Brevet Captain A. Gibbs, mounted rifles. First Lieutenant C. 11.-Ogle, first dragoons, has been recently detailed in place of Lieutenant Hastings, and is supposed to be en route for the East. He also will be retained at Carlisle Barracks on his arrival. All the other officers of the mounted regi ments now attached to the recruiting service, including First Lieutenant D. H. Maury, of the rifles, will be released from duty, and ordered to report by letter to the headquarters of the army awaitiDg orders at Carlisle Bar racks. The above orders emanate from the Ad jutant General’s office, Washington, and are addressed to Colonel G. B. Crittenden, of the mounted rifles, S. M. R. S., Carlisle Barracks, Pa., and through that official to enant W. T. Magruder, first dragoons, who will comply with the orders.— Carlisle Demo crat. Breach of Trust. —On Friday last, General Paul Applebacb, of Haycock township, Bucks county, entrusted a draft of $1,500 to a neighbor for the purpose of depositing it in the Doylestown Bank. The neighbor, William S. Wood, it now appears, drew the money for the draft, and decamped. Gen. Applebaoh pursued him to Philadelphia, and found him onSunday morning at the William Penn Hotel, in Market street, with all the money in his possession except $2O, which he had spent. He handed the money over to Gen. A. without hesitation, and accompanied him home. He explained his strange conduct by alleging that he had understood Gen. A. to say that he wanted him to draw the money, and that he had gone to Philadelphia before returning home to attend to some business there. SQ?* The New Orleans Delta, of the 25th ult., says: “We are suddenly precipitated into summer, almost into midsummer in tem perature and all the meteorological signs.— To-day the sun is shining with solstitial intensity; summer garments are in great demand ; the trees are in full leaf, the early vegetables are hastening to full maturity, and our streets are brilliant with the light textures and airy habiliments ofjthe fair daughters of the South. Well, so be it—even midsummer, long and tedious as its reign may be, is prefer ble to the ever-changing, boisterous and murky style of weather which has constituted our winter.” Hon. Arnold Plumer Robbed.-Oq Monday night week, Hon. Arnold Plumer was robbed of his trunk, containing a number of valuable papers. He had just arrived in Pittsburg, and on reaching the St. Charles Hotel, the trunk was missing. The police were apprised of the loss, and succeeded in finding the trunk in the possession of a man named Michael Flanegan. In the morning a hearing was had. Mr. Plumer identified the trunk, and opening it found all safe. It contained documents worth to him some $30,000. Flaoegan was com muted, the affidavit sent to the jury room, and a true bill found in the afternoon. Flanegan is therefore “ booked” for a speedy trial. OLD GUARD. Return of Prosperity. —It is gratifying to hear the cheering accounts which reach us from all parts of the country, of the revival of business. The panic, which so lung crushed out the energies of the people, and brought distress and misery upon so many communi ties, has passed away, and renewed life and energy is instilled into all. If the sad experi ence of the past three years should prevent undue expansion and recklessness of specula tion in the future, the lesson, though severe, will not have been learned without profit. The Pittsburg Post, in commenting upon the spring trade, remarks: The tide of returning prosperity affects with equal favor all branches of industry. The budding season is about to commence with most favorable prospects. Mechanics of all kinds, carpenters, bricklayers, masons, painters, and others, will thus find ready employment at lair wages, and from week to week large sums of money will leave the pockets of capitalists and go into the hands of workmen, and thus by general circulation find its way to all classes of small dealers. Fresh life and vitality will thus be diffused through out all classes of persons engaged in trade commerce, manufactures, and labor of what ever description. “ We seem, beyond a doubt, to have arrived at the beginning of a series of. prosperous years of business. There is no disposition to over-trade or to run in debt beyond the means of payment Experience has done its work, ana caution, prudence and industry will now insure a permanent prosperity.” More Frauds upon the Government.

At the immth of White river, on Thursday evening last, it was reported that the Missis sippi was an inch higher than at any period last spring..

There are more breaks in the levees than last year, and tbe destruction of property will be enormous. The latest news from the Missouri is that it was still rising rapidly, of course joining its mighty flood to the over whelming waters below. —Cincinnati Commer cial, March 30.

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 public Jbr twenty yean ; has been the means of saving a vast deal of property and many lives, and has never in a single instance failed to meet the-high eat expectations of its value. Hundreds of our own citi zens can testifv from their own knowledge of its ability to protect property In safety; who have been eye witnesses where buildings publie and private, churches and 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 buildlDg and all within it. The superiority of these rods over any others In use, has been testified to bv men who have no superiors In general science or In this department. Recommendations to the number of six thousand can beseenat the-factory. The United States Patent Office is protected by my Rods, having been selected from all others in use as the best and most reliable. Considering the character and position of the men who have charge of that institution, no higher testimony could be desired. Persons residing at a distance should be on their guard against a class of swindlers who by false representations of every description, seek faunlslead the purchaser. - ' Where my agents are not personally known as such, the only safe plan is to apply, by letter or otherwise, at the Factory. 45“ Weather Vanes, Cardinal Points, Spire Rods, and all manner of SCROLL and FANCY IKON WORK, to suit all characters of Architecture, got up in the neatest and most durable manner at the lowest cost prices.

DETECTING SPURIOUS BANK NOTES. From the frequent impositions, upon the unwary and upon those who have to trust the honesty of others, by the passing of counterfeit and altered bank notes, it is only necessary to say that this subject not only forms an impor tant part of our Students* instruction, but often proves to them of more value itself alone than the entire cost of the whole course. On the law of Partnership Bills of Exchange and Prom issory Notes, Mercantile Contracts, Agency, Snipping, In surance, Bailments, Ac., together with Lectures daily on the science of Accounts, the usages of Trade, Penmanship, Ac., form also an important feature in the eoorse of in struction in this College. The above are the leading points npon which Students are instructed in the “Lancaster Mercantile College," and, together with much other incidental information, on subjects of vital importance, forms a most Invaluable course of Instruction for the Book-Keeper or business man. The whole coarse of instraction relates to business and that alone, therefore, the Student is not led off into any abstractions; but pursues his course of study, according to his ability and application, until he is qualified to conduct the Books of any business whatever.
