,„ en e, given by a gentleman who was an eye
witness, and whose statement can:be relied on as
perfectly correct.
On the morning of the 16th of May, the
fourth day of the bombardment, about day
break, the gallant commander of the fort took
advantage of a short cessation of the enemy's
t i re hi get a little rest, having been constantly
on t h e watch the night before. He remained
i n his tent about an hour, when he left it and
:,sited the bastion commanded by Capt. Miles.
!fere he found several young ocers collected,
w h o where conversing. and j ocular l y t remarking
nn the n ovelty of their position, having never
before heard any enemy's cannon. The Major
J oined in the Conversation, but in a short time
J d't them, saying, as he turned away: " Young
ge ntlemen, I most sincerely hope that you may
live to fight many battles ; and as I know you
all, I hope you may have on opportunity to do
v ourselves justice." He left this bastion to
w i t Captain Lowd, and gave that officer orders
to tire s a certain number of guns at certain in
tervals, and to produce as great an effect as pos
sible. This was done for a purpose then only
known to himself. A few hours afterwards, as
the Major was again pin , around the fort,
a ccompanied by his adjutant. Lieut. Page, a
G allant and very efficient young officer, now
adjutant of the 7th infantry, he informed him
that the guns which he had ordered Capt. Lowd
to fire was the :signal agreed upon between Gen.
la7 r lor and himself to inform the General that
he was closely besieged. lie had ecarcely

fiirt and the magazine. They knew not from
what direction the shell was corning. but both
of them fell down_ to avoid it. Maj. Brown re

I nt their services to the government to attack
(, eneral Kearney, and to rob and disperse
American travellers—the governor refused them.
SANTA FE TRADE.—A letter written at Inde
pendence. Missouri. on the 26th of August,
amt puhlishetl in the St. Louis RepubliCan.
tarnishes some statistical details of the trade to
:alita Fe and the Southern Mexico provinces,
w hich is much greater this year than any for-
M pt One, • owing mainly to the closing of the
Pt.r. on the seaboard. Thirty-nine companies
of traders have gone out this season, taking
with them 413 wagons.which are in the charge
of about 800 men. The value of the goods
carried nut by these traders is estimated at near-
IS a million of dollars.
STAGE ACCIDENT.—The stage between
Nl,,ont 11011 r and Camden was accidentally
"; ,,, et last Saturday while coming down loll
ic2shead's hill. and literally crushed. There
were a t the time ten or twelve passengers in it.

MORMON AFFAIRS.—Thp Hancock' difficul
ties still continue to occupy much space in the
Western papers. At the last accounts, the
posse under Mr. Carlin numbered eight or ten
hundred strong, and would march on Nativno
so soon as a sufficient force was collected. At
the solicitation of sor t ie of the citizens iif Nau
coo, the Governor despatched Cul. Parker.
with ten men, to quiet the difficulties in Han
cock. Parker has issued his Proclamation re
questing the posse under Carlin to disperse
and return to their homes. He has also writ
ten to Carlin that he will execute all the writs
in his possession, and if he and his posse do
not disperse he shall treat theni as a mob.—
Carlin, acting under legal advice, returned for
answer, that he can do his 'duty as an officer
without any assistance from Parker, and if he
and his ten men interfere with his in the per
formance of his duties, he shall treat him as a
mob. The Quincy Whig, an Anti-Mormon
paper, says :
tt It seems a Mormon was shot on Thurs
day night, by one of the picket guard, station
ed near Carthage. The facts appear to be
these :—a company of five Mormons were ad
vancing towards the camp—they were told to
stand, when one of them snapped his gun at
the guard, which was answered by a discharge
from the guard, and a terrible out-cry m amone
the Mormons was the consequence. The next
morning a glazed cap was picked up near the
ground. This is about the substance of the
information we have received. We shall•pro
bably hear something more decisive in a day
or two.
P. S. The Bertrand came down on Mon
day morning. By the politeness of Mr. Ers
kine, who came passenger,we are favored with
the latest intelligence from the battle ground,
that may be. The posse under Carlin had
matched towards Nauvoo, and were to camp
at Golden's Point on Saturday evening and
contemplated going into Mormon town on
Monday morning.
A. Williams, Esq., has just returned. We
leain from him that the Mormons had taken
Col. Chittenden a prisoner. through the basest
treachery. They sent out word that if he
would come into the city they would negotiate
a peace—he did so go in—and there he re
mained at our last accounts."
-
A DESERVED REntort.—We copy the fol
lowing article from the Baltimore Sun, as a_
just rauke to the Pottsville Miner's Journal,
which is doing all it can for political effect to
improve the coal and iron interests of that re
gion :
Suicidal Policy.—lt appears passing strange
to our comprehension that the Pottsville Jour
nal, which its eilitoi and " agent for the pro . -
prietor" claims to be a " Miner's Journal" par
excellence, should labor so hard as it dues to
destroy the business of its own region. It fol
lows up column after column with articles
rather than arguments, not only to convince
the public that foreign coal will he furnished
for a les.i price than domestic, hut that the for
mer is stiperiar to the latter in quality, and to
prove to the coal operators and miners that they
cannot possibly carry on their business, and
should at once discontinue it, and throw their
hands out of employment. If surh a suicidal
course should Inert with favor from those en
gmsed in the domestic coal business. then, in
deed, as it appears to us. may it he said to
them that they " kiss the ,hand that smiles
them:"
IVe l eliece that the two great peeuliarly cen
tral-interests of the country, coal and iron,
should be sustained. if need be, by higher dit
ties We believe also that the whole South,
..St :11111 Southwest art- far from helmg unfa
vorable to pitch duties upon foreign fuel as shall
afford to the domestic production the supply
o f die im:rkets of the Union.
" The use of feel now enters much more ex
tensively into almost all branches of manufac
tures than formerly. Even where w ner is
used as the driving or motive power for the ma
chinery, steam is now generally used for the
boiling, bleaching and drying process. The
tendency of manufacturing, therefore, all other
things being equal, is to seek the cheapest
points, the sources, of fuel.
The South are not blind to the farts that tin
der the influence of the high tax at present up
on foreign fuel, $175 per ton, the location of
manufacturing generally has been gradually
changing from Eastern points up more nearly
into the centre of the country, and we doubt
nut that little objection will be made by the
South nr West to. such reasOnshle modification
of the duties upon coal, and indeed upon iron,
as the nature. of the interests may demand.—
But we would remark to the t' Miner's Jour
nal," that this " cutting off one's nose to spite
one's face," is not, in our estimation, very ju
dicious.
THE DANGER OF Rot GE.—A lady who
piqued herselt on the beauty. freshness, and
pore white and red of her complexion, went to
attend a chemical lecture. She had not been
there long, when suddenly her fare was obser
ved by all present to become perfectly blue.—
The cosmetic she had used being affected by
some 'salt, or acid employed in the experi
ments, had caused the marvellous transfigura
tion.
THE STATE. CATTLE SHOW AT AUTIFEN.-
On the 16th and 17th days of this month, the
great Annual Agricultural Jubilee will he held

more extended scale than usual. 'Fru. Rens
selaer County Agricultural Society will hold
their annual cattle show and fair, at the city of
Troy, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 23d
and 24th of September, instant.
THE ESCAPED RETAEEs.—Lev_y Nice, who
was recently taken up to Luzerne County, for
passing counterfeit money, and afterwards scal
ed the Wilkesbarre prison walls, in company
with his accomplice. Joseph Bahl. was retaken
on Wednesday at Doylestown. after a very
hard run. Joseph Bahl was taken some time
ago a few miles from Bethlehem, and sent hack
to Wilkesbarre. They are both from Lehigh
County, and old birds.
MORE NEW COMPANIES.—Gov. Wright has
organized Piz new companies of cavalry in
New York, to conststute a regiment. and to be
attached to the sixth Brigade, under command
of Gen. G. P. Morris. It is to be known as
the 28th Regiment of Cavalry.
A NEST DISTURBED.—An extensive gang of
thieves and counterfeiters have been recently
discovered in Pope county, Illinois. Some of
them were magistrates and other local officers.
A body of Regulators" caught and punished
them severely.
THE House. CHOLERA has extended to Sta
ten Island. where the horses arp dying of it in

Obituary
Dun. in this Borough. on Tuesday the Bth inst.,
EZIIA 0. Los,., son of Maj. Long of Troy, in the
2Gth year. of his age.
The decease.' was a graduate of Union College.
On returning to his native village, in the fall of 044,
he was employed during many months as preceptor
of the Academy, and dischaiged the duties of that
station with ability and zeal. The public who were
acquainted with his worth, regard their loss as a
general calamity.. By his numerous friends and
relatives, the companions of his boyhood, and the
associates of riper years, his dec4se is lamented as
a personal affiicticni. The shaft of death which
laid him low, has wounded many hearts.
In this Borough, where he had employed some
months during the last two years of his life in the
study of Law, his kindness, equable temperament
and social disposition, had won for him gulden
opinions from the extensive circle of acquaintance
in which he was known. In the freshness of early
manhood, upon the eve of entering on the duties of
a profession to which he had devoted his life in
preparation, and whose proudest honors were but
the reasonable reward of his zeal, industry and tal
ent ;—in the commencement of his career, suddenly
he is arrested, and the ambitious 'leavings of an
earnest heart are stilled forever.
The hand of the reaper
Takes the cars that are hoary—
But the voice of the weeper
Wails manhood in glory.
The friends of the deceased, though they are de
nied the privilege of witnessing here on earth the
exercise of those powers with which he was so
liberally endowed, and which seem to have been
extinguished by an untimely blight—to have been
partially made in vain ; yet they cannot subscribe
to the cold creed of the sceptic. They cannot be
lieve that the cold clay which they have committed
to its kindred earth, is all that exists of the generous
friend, the affectionate son and brother; that the
fire of intellect, the genial play of the affections,
have been consigned to blank annihilation ; but on
the contrary, they look forward witlthumble hope,
beyond the damp grave, to a reunion with their
friend in a happier existence.
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond this vale of death,
There surely is some happy clime,
Where life is not a breath:
Nor life's affections transient fire
Whose sparks fly upward to expire.

ARRIVAL OF SUMMER GOODS,
.41 No. 4, Brick Rote.
MITE subscribers are now receiving and opening •
I_ very large supply of fieasonabl. GOODS, which
they are anxious to sell on the most favorable termafur
rawly pay.
•They are fully determined Cot no one shall sell Goods
cheaper than they. 'laving taken much pains in the
selection of their goods—and as many articles of mer
rhandixr have fallen off in price since spring purchases
were made, 'they confidently believe they can offer
some inducements to those who wish to buy damp
goods they will not readily find elsewhere, especially •
stores that purchased their goods early in the season
It will take hut a mo:ncnt to drop in and examine some
of their cheap Goods. Such as
Good Brown Muslin, 7 touts per yd.
Calicoes, 7 do.
Very good Prints„ lOat2 &15 per yd.
Brown Sugar. 7, 8 & 9 cents per lb.
Good Molasses, • 30 cents per gallon.
Green Tea from 12i cents to $1 per lb.
Anil all other articles in proportion. They do net
like to say they will sell "cheaper" and "more" "goods^
than any hotly else. That would seem too much Ilk.
boasting; but they will say distinctly, they wtr POT
be undersold; and, will also say to their Lumber and
Produce customers, that they have the moat entire am
fidence that no fault will. be found with the price of
Goods. If they only bring in their Lumber and Pro.
duce, they will find goods as cheap as where they sell
exclusively for case!
They do not consider it necessary to enumerate a ce
or any of the articles they have Flr sale. Suffice it to
say, their assortment is now full and complete. Coil
and examine for vnuraalvrs.
