We write our letter one day in advalce, as the Demo. cratic State Convention meets at Jefferson City to morrow, and we leive on the train thli morning. For the past three or four days our city his bean almost overrun with dele gates and others en route for the Convention. Every boat and every train of cars that arrive have more or . less Democracy on board, destined for Jefferson City. Dis patches from there yesterlay apprise us that every hotel and boarding house is Jammed as well as many of the private houses, and yet not one-half of the delegates have arrived. This will be, beyond doubt, the largest political body ever assembled in this State. As far as .we are able to learn, every county In the State will be folly - represented. There is no hall in Jefferson City capable of holding the delegates, and in all probability the Convention will have to be held out of doors. The delegates to Charleston, we think, will be uninstructed, but if instructed, Dickinson will receive the vote of the State, and it might be Breckin ridge ; whilst Judge Douglas will have many-friends in the Convention. With all the country delegates with whom we have conversed, they' cordially accept John C. Breckin ridge as their second choice, and indeed, many prefer him to all others yet named in connection with - the Charleston Convention The eyes of the whole nation are now beginning-to turn to Charleston. The Democracy which is to assemble there on the 23rd of the present month, hold in their hands the destiny of the great Democratic party of the country. It is important that they should act in 'union and harmony; one wrong step may cause the defeat and overthrow of the party of the people—the only national and conservative party now do existante. To re-affirm tike Baltimore and Cincinniti:nlatform, without subtracting a single word, or adding one thereto, will ensure the triumph of the Demo cratic nominees in November next. We have fought under that banner in 1852 and 1858, and if we again unfurl it to the breeze a glorious victory will again crown the Democ racy. The two third rule has long been the usage of the Democratic party in the National Conventions, and has always worked admirably, and it would be suicidal to abandon it at Charleston. It is to be hoped that:no Demo crat will ever insist upon abandoning the twothird rule - The friend of any man, now aspiring for the nomination: that broaches such a proposition before the Charleston Convention, will so thoroughly kill his first choice, that no future Convention will ever breath life into him again. That this will be attempted is pretty certain, but rest assured, ft will be the last political stroke of the delegate that proposes it. There probably has been uo man less spoken of for the Presidency, than John C. Breckinridge, yet he is to-day the strongest man before the country, and the proceedings of the Charleston Convention will attest that fact. Ask a friend of Judge Douglas, of Dickinson, Guthrie, Johnson, Slidell, Jeff. Davis, Hunter, Wire, Stephens, Cobb, or any other, and the answer is that John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, is his second choice; and with these facts before you, is it possible for any other man to be nominated. Let the Charleston Convention nominate John C. Breckinridge, and there will be no wounds to heal, no divisions, no bolt ing, bat all will be union and harmony, and no man who ever claimed to be a Democrat will refuse to support Mr- Breckinridge, besides thousands and tens of thousands who: never before voted a Democratic ticket, will rally around the Breckinrige flag. He will sweep Indiana, Illi nois and lowa from centre to circumference, and will march into the White House on the 4th of March next. Whilst we believe wo can elect any man nominated— standing on the Cincinnati Platform—yet the battle would be half fought by Breckinridge being the standard bearer. The South, in many States, have not instructed their dele gates, but nevertheless think she is entitled to the candi date this time, but do nos wish to force Mr. Breckinridge or any one else on the Democracy of the country, and therefore do not insist en the man, as some of the free States have done. The South will take any man, if fairly and honestly nominatsd under the lwo.third rule. We are therefore glad to know that Pennsylvania will propose a southern man for the nomination, and Pennsylvania's man will find strong backing from a quarter that has been perfectly quiet—until the time to strike the blow. We presume there will be 200 or 300 of our citizens visit Charleston, whilst different parts of the State will turn out a goodly number. By a letter received from Mr. A. J. Hughes, formerly of Columbia, we are informed that he has permanently located at Et. Joseph, in this State. He speaks very highly of the country, and seems to be much pleased with his new home. The business of the past week has been immense—there are not boats in the Fouthern trade to take all the freight offered. There is little or no change in the produce market, whilst receipts have been very large. Weather warm and dry. We have no news of interest to communicate, and must be. off for the depot. Will give a syurpsis of the pro ceedings of the Convention iu our next. TAX-PAYERS AND FREE NEGROES IN CIIARLES• TON.-A correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit of the Times, writing from Charleston, South Carolinh, says: The most notable feature in the list of tax payers of Charleston, is the tax on property paid by "free persons of color." The number of colored persons taxed is three hundred and fifty five, and of these, three hundred and, four aro owners of real estate, while two hundred and twenty six of them own real estate to the amount of $lOOO or more—some of them nearly $50,000 worth ; the entire amount owned by the two hundred and twenty six above referred to is about $717,495 ! In addi tion to this, I may as well inform you that the three hundred and fifty five " persons of color" who are free, own two hundred and seventy seven slaves. There is one free "gentleman of color" still residing, as we are informed, in Charleston, an owner of property, who is honored above any white citizen in the Union in being exempt from taxation; he is the negro (then a slave) who gave the information that led -to the discovery of the insurrection of 1822. For his faithful services, the corporation granted him his free dom, and the immunity above referred to." ler A novel case of habeas corpus, involv ing curious and important questions of law, was recently -tried before Judge S. M. Moore, of the Circuit Court, Covington, Kentucky. A resident of that city, named William Ross, a short time since became enamored with his step-daughter, Margaret Coleman, who recip rotated his affections, and a marriage engage ment was the consequence. But the affianced pair found that their relationship was among the degrees prohibited by the laws of Ken tucky. But the river was easily passed, and once in Ohio, the restraints'of the law would be removed—marriage between blood relatives alone being prohibited in that State. They accordjngly visited Cincinnati, were united in matrimony, and returned home rejoicing. The friends of the parties, however, were dissatisfied with the nuptials, and determined to separate them. The girl being a few months under twenty-one years of age—the period of female majority in Kentucky—and till'the time of her marriage having been under the guardianship of a man named Hall, but who had resigned as soon as that event had taken place, a guardian named Elisha Coleman, a relation of the lady's, was appointed for the occasion, and a writ of habeas corpus was sued on Ross, commanding him to produce his wife before Judge Moore, and show by what authority she was detained by him. The proper evidence of the marriage was produced, and the fact that she was more than eighteen years of age, which concluded the period of her infancy at the place where the marriage was - solemnized, was produced in court. The attorneys for the guardian claimed that as the parties were residents of Kentucky, a mar riage elsewhere, to evade the laws of that State, was null and void. The judge sustained this position, nullified the marriage, and gave the lady into the custody, of Mr. Coleman. HEAVY FRESHETS IN THE WEST SUDDEN RISE IN THE 3IONONGAEELA AND ALLE• .GHENY RIVERS - DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY INUNDATION OF TUE LOWLANDS- RAILROAD TRAVEL IMPEDED. PITTSBURG, April 11.—The heavy rains which have fallen for the past three days have caused a freshet, attended with considerable destruction of property. The lowlands along the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers have been completely inun dated. The rise came so suddenly that thirteen canal boats on the Monongahela were swept over the dam and sunk, causing a loss of over $16,000. The loss on the Allegheny has also been considerable, several manhfactories being flooded.

This important arrest was brought about through information furnished officer Becker by a negro named Tom Bennet, who revealed the fact that Dorsey was in possession of a lot of 'new wearing apparel, which could be secured by searching his house. As Dorsey had long been under the ban of the police, the officer at once conclu ded that the aforesaid " wearing apparel" could have been gathered together itt no other way than by Dorsey's nocturnal operations at Dingelspiere clothing store. Accordingly a warrant was secured, and the officer proceeded to Dorsey's residence, where he was informed that that individual in company with others had left suddenly for Philadelphia, taking with them more than an ordinary share of baggage. Thir circumstance confirmed the officer's suspicions, and after having procured the necessary documents he proceeded to the Quaker city last Sunday morning. Here he enlisted the services of the efficient detectives, and in a comparatively short, space of time the fugitive Dorsey, with his "pals," Cornish and Smith, were arrested and safely lodged in durance. A number of articles stolen from the stores of Messrs. Dingelspiel, Wiler and Bellman were found in their possession and identified. Cornish and Smith are Philadelphia ne groes, and with others of that city have long been in the habit of making excursions to the towns in the interior of the State for the purpose of committing burglarious depreda— tions; It is to be hoped that with their arrest, and by the active exertions of the Philadelphia police in securing the arrest of others implicated, this gang :may be effectually crushed out. From certain arti— cles found in his possession, it is surmised that one of the parties arrested was concerned in a recent extensive burglary at Columbia. The three negroes were confined in our prison to await their trial.—Harrisburg Patriot. THE WASHES MINES.-A brisk emigration has commenced from all parts of the State of California for the Washoe mines. The donee pondence of all the leading California papers tell the same story concerning these mines— that the country bordering on the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the eastern side, is a vast region of minerals, and wonderfully rich in silver and gold, although a large number of our people continue to doubt the reliability of these accounts, which are probably exalt gerated. The, popular Confidence in Washoe is gaining ground. The latest discovery reported is a new strike Comstock lead, a mile and a half from Virginia city. These diggings are said to be as rich as at the original opening of the same lead. Laborers are asking $5 per day, and hard to get at that, as all men are looking out for claims of their 6wn. THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE.-A writer in the Valley Tan, of great Salt Lake City, says that the bleached remains of the emigrant party, massacred at the Mountain Meadow, have all been collected into a single grave, and adds: A stone monument, conical in form, fifty feet in height, now marks the spot where they rest, their wanderings o'er. This is surmounted by a cross of red cedar, twelve feet in height, on which is carved the following inscription, visible to travelers : " Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." On the base of the monument stands a granite slab, into which are cut the follow ing words: "Here 120 men, women and children were massacred in cold blood, early in September, 1857. They were from Arkan sas." RETIRING STATE SENATORS.—The term of the following Senators expired with the close of the last session : Messrs. Shmffer and Baldwin from Lancaster county ; Mr. Keller, of the Snyder district ; Mr. Bell, of Chester and Delaware ; Mr. Rutherford, of Dauphin and Lebanon ; Mr. Marselis. Philadelphia city ; Mr. Turney, of the Westmoreland dis trict; Mr. Miller, of the Washington district; Mr. Francis, of the Lawrence district ; Mr. Craig, of the Carbon district ; Mr. Schell, of the Bedford district. Of those retiring seven are Democrats, and four Opposition, namely, Messrs. Shmffer, Baldwin, Rutherford, and Francis. OLD GUARD War The groWing wheat crop in Pennsyl vania presents a very encouraging appearance. In Central and Eastern Pennsylvania it looks remarkably well, the winter and spring having been quite favorable to it. We have seen but little in our exchanges from the West about it, but some of the Indiana papers speck very discouragingly, as usAal, about this time. In Illinois, the extent of ground sown to wheat is greater than was ever before known, and in no past year has it been done under more favorable circumstances, so far as regards weather, condition of ground, and careful preparations on the part of the farmer. The Rockford News thinks the yield in Illi nois will be thirty per cent., greater this year than last. THE TRAITOR OF SOLFERIRO. —The Augsburg All gemeine Zeitung states that since the suicide of thd l 'Austrian General Eynatten— committed in consequence of the discovery of great frauds perpetrated by him—it has been ascertained beyond doubt that it was through his agency the French and Sardinian armies became apprised of the premeditated attack of the Austrians at Solferino. It will be remembered that the Austrians expected to take allies by surprise themselves, and were not a little surprised at the defeat which they sustained. FRIGHTFUL POISONING CASE.—The New- Orleans Picayune gives a lengthy account of a frightful poisoning case which occurred in that city. A Mrs. Lemley gave a dinner party in honor of a young friend who had just graduated from the Medical College, and a large number of guests were present, among them several young ladies. The cook, having some grudge against her mistress, with the aid of her son, a mulatto boy of seventeen, introduced arsenic into a dish of " Charlotte Busse." All of the company were taken sick some hours after dinner. One youth died, and six ladies are so low that their recovery is doubtful. The negress and her son were arrested and lodged in prison.— Great excitement existed in New Orleans relative to the affair. WILL THE COAL FIELDS HOLD OUT?—Some of the scientific journals have been discussing at various periods the question whether the coal fields will hold out, considering the enor— mous quantity consumed. Professor Rogers, after showing the areas and solid contents of the various known coal fields, estimates that at the present rate of consumption, 100,000,000 of tons per annum, the coal fields of Penney!. vania alone would meet the demand for 3,164 years. If the consumption were doubled, viz: 200,000,000 of tons, the great Apalachian field would meet the strain for 6,9371 years. If it were quadrupled, viz : 400,000,000, the productive coal fields of North America would suffice for the world's supply for 10,000 years to come. • AN IMPORTANT LAW CASE.-A very impor tant law suit is now in progress in our Court, before his Honor Judge Pearson, between George M. Lauman, Esq., plaintiff, and the Lebanon Valley and Reading Railroad Com pany, defendants. The amount in controversy is large—the plaintiff claiming from $250,000 to $300,000. This suit has attracted much attention. Both parties are ably represented att.he bar: Messrs. Hoffman, of Berke, and Fisher, of Dauphin, for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Kunkle and Mumma for defence.— Harrisburg Sentinel. SPECIAL NOTICES. AEi-Cronp.—Children are rotten seized , very 'suddenly with this disease, which, if not quickly re. tiered, proves fatal.

April.l4 Jimmy Dash woe a dandy, too lady to work, And he made up his mind he would wed With a maiden of wealth, so that he, though a gull, On the wings of her eagles' could spread. He soliloquised thus: "There is rich Belly Jones, Who has wealth that would bless me for life ; "' There is many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip,' But I'll make the fair Belly my wife." So he called on her father, residing near by, Whom he found o'er a bottle of wine, And as Nally was present, to Tommy he said ; - " Does your heart to my daughter incline?" "Yes It does!" answered Tom, and tonight I'll propose, And our vows we will breathe ere we part: " There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip,' And dear Nell should make sure of my heart." Then he turned t 6 the maiden, and said, with a smile, As he tilled up a goblet with wine— "l shall ever imbibe from the chalice of bliss, For thy love, dearest Nell, makes thee mine, I will taste of my wine, then I'll taste of your lips ;" But, alas, for his hopes! Belly said: "'There is many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip,' " And she slipped from the room to her bad! NOTE.— "There Is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," Such a slip as may lead to a fall; But there's never a rip 'twist the head and the hip, In the coats from the great Tower Hall. There is many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip, When the slip, of the cup is the fruit; But there's never a thread 'twist the heels and the head, That will start in a Tower Hall suit. Then. eschewing the cop, which may throw your heels up, With a slip 'twist itself and your lips; If you buy garments all, at the great Tower Hall, You'll avoid both the slips and the ripe.

Scrofala,, Evil; is a constitutional disease, a corruption.of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out. in disease on any part of it. No organ is free. from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth, and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What- , . ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I will visit the iniquities of — the fathers upon their children." . . Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in . the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases.; conse-' quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofulous m their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination ; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply -in • AYER'S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is eon bined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it sliould be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVE and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, Pcs vILEs, BLOTCHES, BLAIN'S and BOILS..TIIMORS, TETTEB, and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM, RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and ldimeuntAL DIS EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in " impurity of the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. hot only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pam in and Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consuinp. tion, and for the relief of Consumpyve Patients in advanced stages of , the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and ad nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are knowni the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon. the community have failed and been discarded, .this has gained friends by every trial, conferred befiefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and Iwo duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.

I have, in my individual case, made frequent use of your valuable medicine, and have always been benefited by it. I would, however ' caution the public agrainst imposition, because there it a good deal of spumous Wietar's Balsam of Wild Cherry afloat throughout the country. JACOB BECEILER.
