Wonders of the Argus.
The Argus wonders if the Editor of the Reporter,
!nevi with much 1111Cetka in his attempt •to whip the
refractory members of his party into the traces." If the
Editors of the Argus had been with us, they would have
met with Mill more wonderful wonders. They would
have witnessed the Most perfect unanimity in the Dope
craiic ranks. No jars—no bickerings„ - no dissatisfaction
with the ticket, but a cheerful acquiescence in the nomi
nations made by the convention, and a determination to
give the whole ticket, a hearty and active support. So
.be would have seen the wonder thatl"there are no " re•
(rectory democrats to be whipped in.": we intend also to
show them what ought no longer to be a '.wonder"
whip, that we never "whip" democrats ; we apply our
castigation:: to whip—and on the second Tuesday of
October, we intend to give them a alightone, just by way
Of brightening theirrecallection.
Moir. Ho si.—Bewaro of the Democrat who wishes to
trade any portion of the Democratic ticket for whigs. Do
not he deceived by him. He would halter the success
of the whole ticket, if be could.
Beware of the Whig who would mate you believe be
will vote for a . Dernocrat provided you vote for a Whig.
He is not ID he trusted. If he will deceive his party, be
will deceive you if he can. Besides, he is certain that
the whole whig ticket will be defeated, and it is an ob.
jeet to endeavor to eleit a part or even one.
Again we say, beware of deception and every species
of fraud. We have a ticket presented. to us every way
worthy of our support, and it is our duty to ourselves,
the party, and the county to give it our support. The
WHOLE TICKET, sod nothing but the Ticket !
DISAFFECTIOIt.—The Democratic party in Susque-
hanna is rent and divide' by difficulty—in much sorrow
do we, say it. There are now two democratic tickets in
the field, but no whig.
. Lycoming County too, is the seat of much contention.
The ticket first formed, being too central to receive the
cordial support of the party, the candidates plated upon
it, having all declined; the delegates again convened,
and a new ticket was formed. This ticket, though less
objectionable, does not receive the support of a portion
of the party. We would suggest to the consideration of
all disorganizers, the following, which is termed a" gold
en sentiment":—
hold elf politicians to be ENEMIES of the
Demecratic Party who attempt to disturb its Purity, de
stroy its Organization, or defeat its Candidates."
Cousins's Paosesers.—We have a letter from the
West dated the past week, whichdescribes the prospect
in that section es highly cheering. The gallant democ
racy of the West, are rallying around the ticket with an
urinmity which is the sorest token of VICTORY. Do
not believe the stories—should you hear them—of disaf
fection in the West. They are gotten up fur effect, and
there is no truth in them. The democrats, to a roan,
are only waiting for the 14th of October, to once more
yrwarate the hopes of Federalism in Bradford County.
RAI !Atom) PROW D MI% I LSE TO Sn tiroctsr.—A meet

And if there be any who may suppose that the be

principles, we beg them to withhold it, for it, will. prove
unsuccessfuL ,
It is perfectly natural that the Argus should see in our
endeavors to promote the success of our ticket, the
groaseat inratitude. fur they am of the spoils party ; the
party that bows to wealth, and worship at the shrine of
power. They have no higher or holier purpose than the
building up of the wealthy, even at the beggaring of the
poor—the establishment of monopolies and the concen
trating of power. They much mistake the character of
our paper, and the tendency and teachings oldie princi
ples of our party, if they suppose that the bestowal of
patronao-e will render us still to the faults and absurdi
ties of Whiggery, that we will cease to - " my aloud and
spare not," 'even though it smell of rank ingratitui.e
to them.
Of the paternity of our,artieles, the Argns may take
to themselves, no trouble. It comes with 'an ill grace
from them, to charge the editing of our paper upon per.
eons who are as ignorant as the Editors or the Argus
themselves—of what is to appear, until the paper is dis.
tributed,:we mean. The names of the proprietors appear at
the head of the Reporter, and they are responsible. for
whatever appears in its columns. It is a common medi
cal of the Argus to answer articles, by charging the nu•
thorship upon others than the Editors. A practice
common that it has little or no wit.
On Tster.-Tbe "Washington Cifion of Thursday
asserts in the,most emphatic manner, that President
Polk "IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR A SECOND

the organ of the administration, we trust, weshall hear
no more insinuations front the whig press, that Presi
dent Pota will again be a candidate for the Preedency.
This determination of our patriotic President to secu
re but ONE TERM cannot fail to have a most salu
tary influence upon the future usages of the Democratic
Party.

derson's majority in these towns, which comprise the
strength of the State, is 626 over all others. The dem
ocrats have also a fair prospect of a large majority in the
Legislature, or at least in the upper branch of it. The
Senate comprises thirty-one members, of which the Whigs
have but three, from Kennebec county.

CURIOIIIi STIII-MARINE SUBSTANCE.—John L.
Dimmock, esq., president of the Warren In

a very curious specimen of the wonderful ope
rations .of the sea upon substances deposited
upon its bottom. It is a concreted mass of
submarine substances, such as various shells.
&c.. united with the solidity and weight of
stone, from which are protruded several silver
Spanish milled dollars. This is part of a
large quantity which has been recently taken
up from the place where the Spanish ship San
Pedro was blown up, February 11th, 1815.
An enterprising company fitted out the brig

her destruction. We are happy to hear that
the attempt has • so far proved successful, that
they havaratsed and brought home over $27.-
000—nearly all of which was in the same state
as the specimen of which we have here spoken.
Among other curious .formations which were
raised in the course of the search, we learn
that a single cannon-ball was brought up with
thirty dollars .firmly imbedded in it. Some
of the soltd masses of rock end shells, on be
ing broken open. were found to contain rows
of dollars, as if they had remained there inthe
same order in which they came from the boxes
ie which they were originally packed. This
property is now.bronght into use again, after
having lain thirty-years on the bottom of.the

CONFLAGRTION, IN CANTON.—On Slinday
afternoon a fire broke out in a theatre, within
the walls of the city ; it has been the cause of
a melancholy loss of hie, as well as the de.
destruction of much property.
The theatre formed the centre of a square,
to which there was only access by one
the
lane. After the lire was observed, the audi
ence endeavored to escape by the lane; but,
unfortunately, the crowd from without were
trying to force their way into the square, and
prevented a large number of those who were
within from obtaining egress ; the two bodies
appear to have got jammed, the greatest con-
fusion prevailing.
It is supposed that upwards of eight hundred
lives were lost by the lire, the falling timber,
or borne down by the "crowd and suffocation.
The bodies are so horribly mutilated, that
their friends cannot recognize them ; in con
sequence of this, hundreds lie unclaimed, and
the worst consequences are to be apprehended
from their exposure in such a climate at this
season.
It is to be hoped that the city authorities
will have them buried at once ; though, from
the national prejudice of the people with regard
to the dead, and the filial affection which
prompts them to pay greet respect to the
ashes of their departed kindred, it is feared
that days will be allowed to elapse before the
unclaimed and unrecognizable are disposed of.
We have had a call from a gentleman who
left Canton on Tuesday evening, who has fa
vored us with further particulars. By the
Mandarin's books, the total number of killed
is 1,257, including „ fi lty-two male and female
actors ; the wounded are estimated at 2,100.
On Monday. the day after the fire,„part of
the ruined wall fell, and killed thirtymore,
wounding several others.
• r
It is rather remarkable that thirty years ago
a similar accident happened at the same theatre,
At that time the authorities, forbade dramatic
performances by .the inhabitants ; the present
company are outside people. It is anticipated
that an edict will be issued,stlictly prohibiting
all such exhibitions in futuge.
The authdrities have purchased 400 coffins
for the bodies that have not been claimed, and
they will be interred immediately. A large
portion of the dead are females ; and it is fear
ed that not a few were murdered by 'the rob
bers that infest the city. on purpose to obtain
their bracelets and other ornaments.
ADDITIONAL CHINA Niwa.—Besides the
dreadful calamity mentioned in our paper on
Saturday, occasioned by the burning of the
theatre at Canton, on the 25th of May, we
hare the account of an additional catastrophe,
resulting in a still greeter loss of life. This

On the 12th inst. the steamboat 'Dayton
burst her boilers when about half way between
Corpus Christi and St. Joseph's Island. There
were between thirty and forty persons on
board, including United States soldiers and the
hands attached to the boat.
Ten individuals were killed on the spot. in

Croesinan. the Quarter Master was on, board,
together with two other officers. They were
blown: to the 'distance of one hundred yards.
but were not severely injured.
Capt. C. had one of his legs somewhat
bruised, but the next day was able to walk and
attend to his business. We have been tillable
to bta l in a list : of those who were killed and
wounded.
tVe make an extract from a private letter
which we have received from an officer of the
7th Infantry.
Letters of a subsequent day inform us that
the bodies of all those lost had been recovered-
One of the wounded (a colored deck hand) died
the next day ; the other sixteen were less in
jured than was at first apprehended, and no
fears were entertained for them. We trust
that the number killed will not exceed eight.
The steamboat itself is an utter loss.
There is' no important news from the army
under Gen:Taylur. They receive almost all
their intelligence from this city. The U. S.
sloop of war St. Mary's arrived at the Bay of
Aransas on the 15th inst.. with a hearer of
despatches on board for Gen. Taylor from
Washington.
On the evening of the same day. the U. S.
brig Porpoise hove to, off the bar, and commu
nicated with the St. Mary's. In half an hour
thereafter she sailed towards Vera Cruz.—
Nothing as to their purposes or intelligence
transpired.
On the morning of the 14th inst. a company
of traders arrived at General Taylor's camp.
They reported that they had seen, within two
days' march of the camp. about two hundred
Lappans and as many Comanches on their way
to Matamoras (by invitation from Mexico) to
join the' force to he directed against General
Taylor. The 'report of the traders was but
half credited.
Gen. Taylor sent out Lieut. Scarritt with an
escort of forty dragoons to reconnoitre for 30
or 40 miles about, to ascertain everything pos
sible, and he no doubt has spies pushed further
ahead.

The Mormon and Anti-Mormon Disturbances.
The Mormon and Anti-Mormon disturbances
which have recently broken out in Adams and
Hancock counties, Illißots, threaten to prove
very serious in their co*qtrences. The anti-
Mormons have declared that they will not stop
short of the expulsion of every Mormon front
.Hancock county. Sixly houses had been
burnt clown in Adams and Hancock counties.
The local authorities in Illinois must lack ener
gy and decision very sadly when such out
breaks are allowed almost annually. By the
last accounts it was reported that the Sheriff
of llandcock county was leading ,a party from
Nauvon to arrest the anti-Mormons, who have
been engaged in the work of destruction. The
St. Louis 'papers of the I7th give the following
account of the proceedings:
On Wednesday and l'hursday, after brief
warning to the occupants, the burning of the
dwelling houses of the Mormons commenced.
On Friday other houses were fired. In the
course of the day, a committee of Mormons,
with a flag of truce, entered Lima, to treat with
their enemies. Capt. Newton volunteered to
introduce them to some citizen of Hancock
county, and did so. They met in counett--
but the interview ending without " accomplish
ing anything satisfactory, the work of destruc
tion was resumed. A letter dated Adams coon- 1
ty, 12th inst., says : 1
On (to-day) Saturday several more build•
inns were burned. In passing along a road
about three quarters of a mile distant, about
three o'clock, I saw the smoke and flames of
two rising upon the air. , The party engaged
in the work go undisguised, in broad daylight,
and apply the torch. The party which first
commenced the work of destruction did not
amount to more than twenty or thirty. What
the number is now cannot be ascertained.—
The anti-Mormons, not' engaged in.the burn
ing, are 'collecting anti preparing to act upon
the defensive. Roth parties are well armed,
and all the anti-Mormons with whom I con
versed, expressed the belief that the work of
destruction, could nut be stayed until the Mor
mons were driven into . Nauvoo. Time will
either confirm or negative this belief."
The Sheriff Of Hancoek county had issued
his proclamation. Calling upon the rioters to
disperse. and directing 2000 effective men to
hold themselves 'in readiness to proceed at a
moment's — warning to the seat of war. The

the unfortunate young men who have been 4 , ; ,
long confined by the British authorities in Van
Dieman'e, Land, in consequence of theircon
nezion with the well-kndwn Canadian troubles.
The substance of the-information is as follows
—which Mr. Larkin received by letter and the
Polynesian " from the Sandwich Islands.
, The American whale-ship Steiglitz, belong
ing iolliidgeflort, (Conn:.) put into Oahu on
-41#1 .Z7Ol of A wit, 414, from, Hobart-town, in
New South. Wales, having on board TwENTY
stirEN. of these Canadian prisoners, who had
previously tieen set at liberty by the English
government. It appears that the commander
of the Steiglitz. Captain Young, at his indi
vidual expense, brought these men in his ves
sel to Oahu. whither he had come from New
South Wales.on a whaling cruise to the North
west coast. Arrived at Oahn, he immediately
apprized the Sanwich Island authorities of the
fact,,and requested permission for the released
prisoners to remain until they could find op
portunity to embark for the United States in
whale-ships, which would doubtless he the
ease in the course of a few months. In the
mean time, Captain Young took a portion of
hiti precious freight (ten of the late prisoners)
along with him to the Northwest coast, to form
part of his expediiion ; leaving the rest be
hind. under the guarantied protection of the
authorities of the Sandwich Islands.
Unquestionably the most interesting part of
this intelligence has,- however. yet to follow.
We refer to the names of these twenty-seven
Americans who are now returning to their na
tive land, after such a fearful season of exile.
These we have also been allowed to transcribe,

TILE SEA SERPENT, or BOMB other .6 strange
fish," was seen off Sionington, Conn., on the
Ist instant, by the captain and crew of the ship
Albatross, for the space of one hour and a half.
The huge monster was first seen lying on the
surface W the smooth water a quarter of a mile
distant. He was at least 70 feet in length, ex
posed one large full-orbed eye, and two enor
mous fins or flipperS. The entire body was
covered -with a complete " coat of mail." He
gradually floated alongside the vessel, when
all hands became alarmed and put in their oars
to get " steer-way." This roused the levia
than, who who threw up his head, struck the
martingale with such force as to part the guys
and carry away the flying-jib-boom, and cause
the ship to tremble. He then settled away
and disappeared. Such is briefly the state
ment published in the Rhode Island papers.—
The_dnonster was probably- just starting from
the watering places for his southern tour.
- BITTEN BY A RAT -- .EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
few evenings ago, says the Boston Post,
a young man, named Hays, an assistant in the
provision store of Mr. Bancroft, Went home to
his house, and, putting his hand into a closet
to the dark, felt it seized sharply* Upon
withdrawing it, he found a large rat adhering
to him so firmly that he could not shake the
creature off till he had killed it. The wound
left ivas inconsiderable, and Mr. Hays thought
nothing of the matter until his hand began to
'Swell. Upon 'calling medical aid, it was found
that.the virus had spread through hie system,
and he now lies-in a very dangerous state.- -In
the opinion of the physician amputation would
be useless, and he can live but a short tune.—
.The swelling in the band has now subsided,
and it.oppears as if .withered. „ _
