Magraw diedin Washington dtY, on Friday morning last, at 8i o'clock. The news of his death has caused a feeling of profound sorrow to prevail throughout Lancaster, whose whole population may be counted among his friends. A special despatch to the Press of Satur day gives the following particulars of the attack which has resulted in Mr. Magra;v's death : Hon. Henry S. Magraw.—On Tuesday evening, about six o'clock, while Hon. Henry S. Magravv, formerly of Pennsyl vania, now of Maryland, was walking along Pennsylvania avenue with a friend, he was taken 11l and stepped into an adjoining. house for the purpose of obtaining relief. Shortly after be was prostrated by. a severe stroke of apoplexy, from which, it is feared, be cannot recover. He has lain insensible during the whole of to-day—being unable to recognize his most intimate friends. Word was immediately despatched to his personal friend, Senator Cromwell, of Maryland, who, in company with Honore hie John L. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, and others, culled for the purpose of rendering assistance to the un fortunate man. They telegraphed for Mrs. Magruw, who arrived this morning, and is now attending upon her husband. Mr. Magraw had ibeen in Washington for several days; and although not looking very well, appeared to be in excellent spirits. He has been attended by Doctors Reilly, Miller, Johnson, and Hull, and they have very little hope. Mr. Magraw, has filled a large place in public affairs, having been three years Treasurer of the State of Penn sylvania, and at the time ho was struck down was deeply interested in several im portant enterprises. He purchased and lived upon his father's estate, near Port Depoalt, Maryland, several years ago, and ut the lust election was chosen a member of the House of Delegates of that State. He had been exceedingly fortunate in busi• 11014 N, and looked forward to the enjoyment of many years of life.

He was a prompt, faithful and obliging officer, and his removal, at this time, has caused considerable feeling throughout the county. The removal of Captain Baer, from the Solicitorship, hue caused not a little specu lation among people not politicians.

WHISKY INSPECTOR APPOINTED.—GOV ernor Geary has appointed John Stauffer, of Marietta, this county, Inspector of whisky at Philadelphia, HORTIOULITTAL,—The regllle,r,MOlltkaA meeting of the LancasieiCountyHortioull i tuna Society, which was held at the Athe- Mum Rooms on the 4th inst., proved itself one of the moat interesting that has yet as sembled, and augured well for the future success of the organization. The meeting opened with a decided improvement in the attendance of members, and after the usual reading and adoption of the minutes of the last meeting, a large number of gentlemen of the highest character in the county were proposed by .their friends' and elected as members, many of whom were present signed the Constitution, and participated in the business of the society. The following named gentlemen were elected: Dr. E. B. Herr, Benjamin ten dig, Harvey Lightner, J. B. Kevinski, H. L. Zahm, Brenneman U. Shuman, Andrew M. Frantz, Esq , Peter Bailey, W. W. Brown, Esq., Davis L. Brown, Esq., Chris tian B. Herr, Henry B. Reist. J. R. Hoffer, the editor Of the Mount Joy Herald, was elected an honorary member of the society. Prof. S. S. Rathvon entertained the so ciety in his usual agreeable manner by reading an admirable essay on the relations existing between ornithology and onto. mology, two topics with which Mr. Rath von is compared with any other gentleman of this section par excellence well acquaint ed. Upon the subject of entomology, or any of the corelativo branches, the views of Mr. Rathvon can be regarded as reliable to the fruit-grower; and it is not too much to say that ho justly deserves what he has ac quired abroad—the reputation of being the Entomological Nestor of Pennsylvania. Convinced Mille utility of disseminating cor root information on the subject of Entomo logy, the society asked of hint a copy of his essay for publication. Some views in this essay elicited a few practical remarks from Casper Hiller, H. M. Engle, and 'other practical and scientific fruit-growers. • A matter of great importance—thatof the distribution of choice varieties of fruit,— was discussed; and it was determined that, at the March and April meetings of the Society, a number of gentlemen who have extensive collections of fruit trees (apples, peers, peachlrees, ilz.c.) would come prepared to furnish grafts to any who might desire to increase their collection of fruits, and in this way enlarge the usefulness of the So• clay. At one of these meetings an expert will give instru lions in the art of grafting fruit trees, and will practically illustrate in the presence of the Society the manner In Which this brunch of Horticulture is per formed. Although In the midst of Whiter there was a respectable exhibition of fruit, viz : Apples and Pours. Casper 1111101., the Prince of Lancaster Nursery Men, had on exhibition specll2lollH of the following vari eties : The Lady Apple.

Indeed the Lancaster County Horticultural Society is rapidly becoming one of the fixed institutions of our county, and, as all its !numbers can !arm, inifCh pleasure and profit now front an associa tion with this young but IlourishingSociety. At the next meeting of the Society, Casper Hiller will read an essay upon an Horticul tural topic, and front Mr. Hiller's long ex- !whines as a limit grower, his auditors can promise themselves that they will hear something or practical utility.

Sales of Stocks.—On Saturday evening last A. Kauffman, Esq., purchased 50 shares of First National Bank Stock, at 006 per share, at public sale, At the same time, W. G. Case purchased 8 shares of Columbia Water Stock at $19.50 per share, and 5 shares ut $16.72 per share. A, 33runer, Jr., also purchased 5 shares at $l7 per share, and 5 shares at $16.75 per share. Both of the above Institutions Illust be in a flourishing condition. The First Na tional Stock never gbh] above par, and us In this case, immediately after a dividend was declared, below par. We are glad to notice such an evidence of prosperity. The Water Company Stock, at the above sale, nearly doubled its par value. This is also good evidence that it is a paying con cern, although no dividends are publicly declared. Our Chief burgess.—From present up• poarances, Jacob Auwerter, our newly elected Chief Burgess, is the right man in the right place. He has already commenced several suits for violations of the charter and ordinances, and the prospects are that law-breakers in future will be cmnpelled to face the music and answer at the bar ofjus tit* for their unlawful deeds. Pocket Picked.—We understand that a Mrs. Hogendobler had her pocket picked on Friday evening last, while attending services in the M. E. Church. We think the person that did the deed had not the fear of the Lord sufficiently impressed on his or her mind, or else went In on the con viction, the better the place, the better the deed. she lost about twelve dollars, Sen.vation.—On Monday afternoon, Front street was the scene of " almost a tragedy:" It appears that a Constable of York arrived in this place id quest of an "American citi zen of African descent" by the name. of Isaac Davis. The "gemman" was soon found and in company with the Constable proceeded to the Bellevue llouse, and just as they were to enter the Hotel, Davis thought it would be the best policy to travel. He made a leap and started down Front street, with the Constable In full pursuit. A " navy" was brought into requisition ; ; one shot was tired; "nig" would not stop; Constable fell down; nigger turned the corner at Locust, and was lost to "sight and memory dear" of the Constable ; " escaped I Constable could'nt find hint, end returned to the Hotel, lamenting his mis fortune. Afterwards ho secured the servi ces Of Constable McGinnis, and the black bird was soon overhauled, and his arms pinoned behind his back and a free sleigh ride furnished him to York. The Consta ble informed us that he was arrested for obtaining goods under false pretences. DWELLING HOLLSEBURNED.-A dwelling house belonging to the estate of James Black, deceased, in Little Britain township this county was totally consumed by lire last night. The fire originated from a de fective flue.

You kept your readers so well posted during the, contest for the Senatorehip that you left me, little room to make up anything in the shape of an interesting letter. Since that fight ended times have been rather dull here. There was a crowd of anxious and very hungry applicants hanging round the Executive - cham b ers until Governor Geary had disposed of the few offices in his gift, but it was soon distinctly understood that none stood any chance unless they could perform the war dance of the Winnebago tribe. The last crumbhas been giveu to those who.were selected by Cameron, and Geary Is no longer dogged by the greedy crew. There has been a marked difference in the style of living of some of the colons since the Senatorial election. Several who came here determined to live economically and who awl{ lodgings akelleap boarding houses, have moved into luxurious apartments at the Loctnel and now dine and wine sump tuously every day. It is more than sus pected that they have found legislutlou u profitable business. To all appearances this promises not to bo a proiltablosession for the lobby thieves and mercenary members. The " diveys" up to this time have been wonderful small,except on the Senatorial question, find the conse quence is that the legislative market is much depressed, and prices rouge very low. The deteirminutlon of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad to cut down dead heads to the narrowest possible margin has caused some grumbling among new members. Some of them promised to secure passes for friends, and now find themselves utterly unable to do so. Some of the old members of the House and Senate are glad to bo rid of the bore. The system was a wrong one from the beginning, and the public will be glad to know that the managers of the road have determined to out it up by the roots. Hundreds of men have heretofore held an nual passes, who were not entitled to any such privilege. The Directors of the road have not begun the reform a bit too soon. As I said, some of the new members would like to secure pusses for friends. Now and then the subject is discussed. I heard one declare, rather jocularly, to be sure, that if the road did not "come down" he would introduce a bill compelling the company to fence in the line. The proposition was re garded us a brilliant suggestion, but I rather guess it will not pass into a law. Large us the Radical majority is lu both houses, the Democrats are more than a match for their opponents in talent. This bus been proven whenever there has beat room for display in debate. Somehow the average of ability in the Radical ranks is lower this session than usual. They have only a single man of marked strength in the Senate, Mr. Landon, of Bradford. In the House Mr. Quay, of Beaver, is their best man, and there are at least half a dozen Democrats there who are his superior in every respect. To-day the debate was concluded in the Senate on the unmanly resolution of the Radicals protesting against the confirma tion by the United States Senate of Edgar Cowan an Minister to Austria. After a short, earnest and manly protest against the reso lution by Senator Burnett, from Alonrov, (funeral .Joe.

Ile "pitched in," to use a common vul ' garistn, with wonderful vehemence, and I was as but mouthed us any fishwontan in Billingsgate. There was not au original idea In his whole speech, and his stale old charges against the Democratic party Wei e couched In coarse and commonplace terms. Ills style of speaking is peculiarly ungrace- ful and disagreeable: Ile went out of his way to attack Individuals, and made a bluntly minded onslaught. upon Aldbrinan McMullen, of Philadelphia notorioty.— Piuully concluded with a poetical quo tation, changed to suit his purpOse. Plant ing hinisell in a tragic attitudo ho cried Out: Hope for a season bade the world farewell! And Old lierks shrieked as Mester Clymer fell! This poetical outburst, delivered as it was In Mr. Fisher's most sensational style, brought dowu the house. The Democrats roared and the Radicals could not help chiming In. This reception of what he re garded as sublime, caused your Senator to subside without the utterance of another word. General MeA. land ilh/414, of Philadelphia, and Senator Soaright, of Fayette, took occasion to administer a sharp rebuke to the toplofti oal representative from Lancaster. Wu could see him writhe older the keen sar casm of his op onents, which was couched In gentleman! , language. Senator Davis, of Berks, made a short and most excellent speech, In which he doalt the Radicals some very severe blows. A speech from a weak and pompous diameter, who hulls from Adams county, brought Senator Wallace to his feet, Mr. Wallace is rightly recognized as the leader on the Democratic side of the Senate. ills speech was short, but exceed ingly well conceived, Ile told the Radicals that they had re ceived the Government from the hands of the Democrats at a time when there was peam, prosperity and freedom from debt; that after precipitating the most terrible civil war, and causing the whole land to run red with blood, they had as yet failed to bring back peace to the country; that they had plunged the nation into debt and burthened the people with the most op pressive taxation on the plea of preserving the Union, and yet, with all their pretences, they stood before the world In an attitude of hostility to the Union. He demanded to know what their policy was, declared they had none, and asserted boldlyi that all the talk which ho had heard on the opposite side of the Senate only convinced him that the dominant party was dreaming of an Utopian tiovernment,'V. Wel) should rest on the shoulders of nogroes, while it afforded unllinited political plunder to those in power. Mr. \Valium's speech brought Senator Landon to Ids feet. Thla Radical gentleman a an ex-reverend, and no doubt (Inds In the Legislature of Pennsylvania better pickings hall in any pastoral field be ever entei ed. lie poasesses all the peculiarities of his class, and as a speaker be is able and bold. lie mot the taunts of Senator IVallace honestly, and acknowledged squarely that he and his party were in favor of negro suffrage and negro equality. He eulogized Simon Cameron for declaring himself in favor of striking the word white from the Constitution of Pennsylvania, and declared his belief that it would be done speedily. With the speech of Senator Landon the de bate closed, and the resolutions of censure were passed by a strict party vote. In the House a little affair occurred this afternooff, showing how unscrupulous the Radicals are, and how little to be trusted. A few weeks since in the town of Highspire, Dauphin county, a borough election was held, and the whole Democratic ticket was elected. The town had only been incorpor ated into a borough a short time before. The defeated Radicals have now appealed to the legislature for the purpose of getting the charter annulled. A bill was brought up in the House this afternoon, providing that anielectiou shall beheld next month to determine whether Highspire shall continue to be ranked in the catalogue of boroughs; and if a majority of votes are cast against continuing it ns a borough, then any or the Democratic officers recently elected, are to be lined and imprisoned if they attempt to exercise any olftcial fluty. That looks like partisan legislation, but the most singular feature of the bill was that it was couched in such terms as to allow white men, woimn and negroes to vote. Mr. Boyle, of Fayette, who has made his mark as a leading man in the House, called at tention to this singular generality and had it amended. But for his watchfulness the thing would have been snaked through as it was, it being private calendar day. My letter has strung out ,to an almost interminable extent. The Democratic State Central Committee is now in session here. I may write you occasionally hereafter. 'Yours, &c., Quts. Dead Man Eaten twllls. A most shocking sight was presented in the river in front of Cairo on the 21st. The dead body of a man had become frozen fast in the floating ice, and when it passed Cairo there had gathered an immense flock of sea gulls around the corpse, and they were feeding off of It, and fighting over it. Some were perched upon the body gorging them selves as they tore the frozen tiesh from the bones; others flapped around in the cold air, and still others were hopping about on the floating fields of ice, awaiting their turn at the repast, The awful spectacle floated by with the current of the river, and undis turbed passed from view, The Contraction that is Going On. The financial editor of the Chicago Republican writes as follows; " Capi talists and bankers all over the country are pursuing the same policy of con traction which Secretary McCulloch has inaugurated. So far as the banks are concerned, this is a matter of neces sity, and outside capitalists are governed by the same policy. Of course, all this reverts on trade and commerce; and in the West, were the banking capital is limited, the pressure is unusually severe. At the same time the stocks of bread- Btu& are much lighter than usual, and that of provisions, though heavier than last year, is not considered beyond the capacity of the country. In this way, the chief sufferers by the present stagna tion in trade are the merchants and the manufacturers. The farmers, as a gen eral thing, are in easy circumstances, but they are unwilling to sell their government securities to pay their debts, and collections are therefore slow, and will probably continue - so till a better financial policy is inaugurated.

The Indian War—Three United States Forts In a State of Soho. The tbllowing is the substance of a letter just received from an officer at Fort Phillip Kearney to as gentlemen in this city: The three post torts, Phil Kearney, Reno and Smith, are in a state of siege. All the Sioux Indians, including those who com mitted the atrocities in Minnesota, are in the neighborhood. The garrison of Fort Reno consists of three cowponies of infan try not full, and one piece of artillery. Phil Kearney has four pieces of artillery and five companies of infantry, one half ef fective and a few mounted men. Fort Smith has two pieces of artillery, two com panies of infantry, and 28 mounted men— amounting in the aggregate to 400 men; so you can perceive that these posts are In state of Beige. The mass of the Indians are on the river about 50 miles from this post. Our communication with Fort Smith Is entirely cut off. Some 1,500 lodges of In dians are located at that point, including the Bluckfeet, the Cheyennes, and Arrapa hoes, the whole number amounting to be tween tour andffive thousand. ThtSy are well mounted and armed. They have several times attacked the wood trains, and were upon one occasion badly whipped. On Friday, Dec. 21, they made their ap pearance in a small number, near the fort, and challenged us to tight. (Jul. Carrington shelled them, killing a pony, and driving out thirty Indians from their covert. Capt. and Brevet Col. Fitterman, Capt. Brown and Lieutenant Drumond were ordered out to protect the wood train, which had been attacked. Capt. Fittermau commanded the infantry, Lieut. Druunnond the cavalry, numbering 27 men, and Capt. Brown some mounted teamsters and citizens, the whole force amounting to SI men. About 50 of these were armed with Spencer Hiles and the remainder with Springfield muskets. The officers, instead of obeying orders, al lowed themselves to be decoyed from the position they had been ordered to take, and consequently fell Into un ambush and were Ali cruelly murdered. The writer, who is on duty at Fort Kearney, was ordered by Col. Carrington to proceed to a point five miles off, and ascertain If the wood train was safe and then join tho command. After proceeding about three miles he found the train safe, and then attempted to join Capt. Fah - imam but it being impossible he im mediately sent to the fort for reiffibroements. Forty men, under u captain, were sent out and we reached the scene of action just in time to witness the murder the last vic tim. The poor fellows who had thus been wantonly murdered were found piled up in a heap. About fifty of the bodies were brought into the fort. Lieut. Ames, with :10 soldiers from Fort Sedgewick, overtook the Indians on tile 22d inst., and recaptured Code and Donald son's cattib, on' Pole Creek. The Indians were going southward, and were certainly the Cheyennes, who were all reckoned at peace. The Lieutenant and his command were badly frost-bitten.
