A Nev Scene In Mesmerism.
Mrs. Loomis and daughter, accompanied by
Dr. C. J. Sykes"—(as the bills said)—have been
exhibiting to our elliZeßf, during the present week,.
the Wonders of Mesmerism and Ciaivoyance. The
.Dr., however, it appears, had, some time since,
separated from the Company, but made his appea
rance here 'on Saturday last, to obtain possession of
the "daughter," who was Ida lawfully wedded
wife. From what ; we can gather of the particulars,
%re•learn that the Dr. had made .arrangementi for
taking forcible possession of his '• better•haff . ' on
I%londay evening, by seizing heron her way to the

BLOODY TRAGI:O . T-4/ir ' et Killedmid several
Wounded.—The town of Yellville; in Marion Co
Arkaninta, Was on last Elotiday week the scene of
one Of the nicK4 tri_ . !thtful and disgraceful rencontras
that iwe hare ever known.
We would premise, that for many years there
has been waged, betweeja,Ae Tuns, and their
friends, on the one part, afd the Everetts and their
friends on the other a most deadly feud.
dt seenas that amen named Mooney, who be
longs to the Everett wing, was badly beaten wine
three or four weeks since: and that the Everett*
and Mooney got op a kind of agreement among
themselves, by which they and their adhenintsfor.
mini themselves into a regulating party, and
„h a d
declared that the King, Shelf, Williston* and Hamp
ton Ton most leave the country.
On Monday they all met at Yellville. Jesse Tor
ner,, Esq., spoke there that day. and after the speak
, iing the two parties, armed to the teeth, had some
words, and drew up in battle array; but the matter
-was quieted, and no outbreak took place. Towards
evening, and when the peopkhad,pretty general
ly left for home ; the tight comifterie - ed. A man by
the name of Wailkins, of the Everett party, shot
down Jack King.. At the, same time „Sim Everett
fired at Sinclair, and missed him. Siticlair return
ed the shot, mortally woundim g Everett. King's
brother was chat at by Bartlett Everett, the ball
grazing his shoulder; ho in turn shot Bartlett Ever
ett dead in his tracks. After Sim Everett was shot,
he oathered a rock and pursued Sinclair, but find.
inf.,! e 'Klng, who had been shot in the beginning of
the fight, he tamed on him end Mashed his skull
in a shocking manner, and expired while in the
act. King lived until, morning. Wadkins was
badly beaten. Hewers taken into custody, but made
his encape that itight.=-Bairscille Engle.
Trig INTERNATION AL PORTAGE Tarts - ff.—The N.
York Sun learns, unofficially, that the postal treaty
between the United States and England, just con
cluded, is substantially as follows:
I. Entire reciprocity between the two go ern
meats in the tratismissien of letters by their r pec
tire steamers.
2. The rates of postage to be uniform forth Am
erican and English steamers.
3. The British Coloni4l mail to be conveyed thro'
the United States and by the American as well as
the English steamers.
4. Amerimn mails for Europe, Asia and Africa,
to be con raved by the British as well as the Ame
rican steamers.
It further says, ihtingh not nicely speaking,
as it has not an official copy o th reaty, that the
rates of postage will probably not ex eed twenty
five cents on each letter .from tne Uni St ,or
one shilling on letters from the United ingdorn.
By this arrangement, a letter mailed-to a 4 part of
Great Britian or Ireland, and a shilling paid n 'on it
there, will be delivered in the United States without
charge to the person to whom it is directed. So with
a letter sent from the United States; by the pay.
ment of twenty five cents here, it will be delivered
free of charge in any part of England, Ireland, or
Scotland. rA weekly line of steamers direct to New
York, to consist of American and British steamers,
is also• in contemplation as part of the arrangement.
Dorriessnio Csse or Hrnaornostx.—The facts
of a most afflicting cash of hydrophobia have been
communicated to us, having occurred iu Camden.
N. Jersey. The sufferer is Mrs. Burroughs, the
wife of Edvrard'Burroughs, and danghter of Francis
Cooper, the tobacconist, of Market street. She was
bitten in hand by a dog in August last, while en.
deavoring to pro ect one of her children, and had
antlered the wound to heal up without applying any
of the preventives of hydrophobia, not deeming the
wound at the time of sufficient importance. Since
hen. hnw•eter, from certain symptoms attending it,
she has felt some degree of anxiety, and about ten
days ago the hand commenced to swell, and soon
after festered.
On Friday night the first symptoms of this appal
fing malady became apparent, and since then she
has suffered as many as fifty spawns. The sigh of
water has invariably produced convulsions, and
even looking at the glass in the window of her room
has produced the same results. Dr. Jackson, of
this city, Drs. ruder and Cooper, of Camden, have
been in attendance.
Chlcroform has been frequendy administered to
her with beneficial results ? and yesterday the pa
tient expressed herself easier, having only experi
enced two spasms up to four o'clock in the afnir
noon.. She is perfectly tremble efts' the spasm has
subsided, and when she kelii another coming on,
asks that the chloroform shall be administered, de
claring that it g reatly mitigates her sufferin g s. The
sufferer is a lady of much respectability, and her
illness has occasioned great anxiety to her family
and a large circle of blends and acquaintances...—
She is about twenty five years of age, and the mo
ther of three children. —Phirci. Paper.
ME EXPEDITION IN SEMI - II or SIR J. FRANKLIN.
—We have received from M. McPherson, Esq., of
the lion. Iludson's Bay Company's service, a letter
dated Portage Laßoche, July 26, 18-18. The letter
enntains the following information relative to Sir
•John Richardson, who, it will be remembered, is
seeking Sir John Franklin by land, while Sir James
Ross is engaged in the same service by sea. The
last dates fmm Capt. Ross are, by way of England
to the 29th of July. At that date lie was at Davis'
Straits, in lat. 69 N.sMr. McPherson says: " I have
great pleasure in informing you that Sir John Rich.
anison Dr. Rae, Mr. Bell, ant' party, met ns on
the I Itli July; as far advanced as Athabasca Lake.
They appeared in good health and spirits; and I
should suppose that Sir John would reach the coast
about the 27th or 28th of the same month. I have
but little doubt, however, but that they will, on ac
count of the lateness of the spring in this quarter,
meet with censitlerable detension from ice.
The latest news from Peel's river brings reports
that-the - Indians who frequent the coast had met

the disposition of the people to make off with the

spirit of emigration was never more ripe duringthe
spring of the year than it is now, though we are on
the brink of winter. Scarcely a day passes in
which strangers are not observed wending their

flying from the misery which threatens to visit their
homes upon the arrival of winter."
FRANCL—The new ministry of Cavaignae has
already sustained a signal defeat. U pon . an intend

pose of abolishing the privilege of parch e r e g sub
stitutes for the army, the Assembly d the
Ministry by a majority of 523. The discussion on
the constitution terminated on the evening of the
22d.
The contest for the President is very keen. The
ultra Democrats, of all shades, are making despe
rate efforts to produce unanimity among partisans
as to their candidate for the Presidency. Lamar.
tine has declined being considered as a candidate
for that office.
On ihe 23th uk. M. Arrest presented a decree
for the election of President. and alter a brief dis
culion, the result was: In favor of decree, 587;
against it, 232 ; majority for deers, 355. The
election will take place on the 10th of December.
The result excited the greatest surprise. It was
stated that important changes were about to be in
troduced into the French Infantry. All soldiers
are VI be trained with artillery.
The discussion of the constitution was termina

Before it is finally proclaimeA r it will have to un

after an interval of firq days, and it is not expected
to occupy more than d day or two.
A great deal of surprise was manifested upon
the decision of the Chamber that the election of
President should fake place on the 10th of Decem
ber. It had been generally supposed that the elec
tion would be postponed until Febnary. One party
was in favor of establishing the organic laws in ref
erence tp the responsibility of ministers, the ap
pointment and functions of judges. the elections,
&c., previous to the election of President ; while
another would rather leave those subjects to be set

SCOTER ED Laar--A singular accident warred
on the Michigan Central Railway. It became
necessary to carry a grading, or embankment of
fifteen feet high, across a low piece of ground con
taining WO acres, nearly dry enough for plow land.
When they hail progressed with the grading for
some distance; it became Itno heavy for the soil ,
support, the crust of the earth broken in, mid the
embankment sunk down into seventy nine feet of
water. It appears that the piece of ground bad
been a lake, but had collected a soil of roots, peat,
muck, &c., on its jsurface, apparently , from ten to
fifteen feet thick whichthad become hardened and
dry enough for 'farm purposes. Mr. Brooks
thought it would has" supported an embankment
of five leer thickness,. and thatit it had not been
necesraty fog them .to have one much heavier it
would have sappaned the ro ad, and the fact mi;ht
never have been discovered that it :rested on the

Tits Low* Parivizars.—Our accounts from
New Brunswick are most distressing. The failure
of the crops lilt four successive years, the repeated
ill success of ihefisheiies, and the totalynm of the
lumber business, has so disconcerted the inhabi

rinapneril'inaly otimpieateentot
, . this petition. One of her noble sons, Dsvto
t i n.iscri, Was the first to propose a re-enactment Of
the celebrated Jefiersonian Ordinance of 1787, by
which Slavery was forever 'Prohibited in the North.
west Territory, to be aprlioahle to all territory
which might be acquirdd from Mexico. The
" Virilmot Proviso,' as it was called, received the
sanction of the United Slates House of Represen
tatives, end was only defeated, in the Senate for
want ce time to act upon it. Mr. Wilmot did riot
stand alnne in tue add of thilsprinciple. Gen.
Casa tin all the statesmen rom the North, were
supposedto favor it. Mr. Wilmot's own State
manfully stood up in his rt. On the Bth of
February, 184; the Legislat of Pennsylvania 1
I adopted the following resoluti :
cr &imbed, That our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress be requested to vote against any
measure whatever, by which territory will accrue
to the union, tiniest, as a part of the fundamental
law upon which any contract or treaty for this pur
pose is based, slavery or involuntary servitude,
except for crime,.shall be forever prohibited?
This resolution is clear and explicit; and it was
adopted with_almost unexampled imanmity—the
vote being unanimous in the House, and only two
or three dissenting votes in the Senate. Moreover,
it spoke the almost universal lentiment of the Pea
ple of the State.
To prove yet more conclusively that the voice
of Pennsylvania was in favor of the Wilmot Pro
viso, and against the further extension of Slavery,
allow me quote the following extract from the re
marks of• Mr. Csweaox, one of the Democratic
Senators from that State, when "he debate on the
Three Million bill took place in the Senate. Mr.
Camearet held the &Mowing unequivocal language:
" In this ease before us, there is no room for doubt.
The People of rensuguania are waited in the wish
that no more stare territory shall be acquired .6y the
Confederacy ; and they fear,. if this bill become a
law, it will bring an accession of Slavery with ib
The resolution is so clear, that there can be no
doubt of the Three Million bill having been before
the authors of the instructions when they were
penned. So united were the Legislature that, out
of one hundred and thirty-three members in the
'two Houses, only three votes were recorded
against the resolution. Its mover in the Legisla
ture represents the same county which is the resi.
deuce of Mr. Wilniot, the originator of the Provi
so in the other end of the Capitol. They are per
sonal friends, and in this case they have gone with
the current of praWie opinio n upon the abdn2d po
tion of extelditagSlttvery.l
171
This testimony is plain and palpable, that the
Proviso was popular in Pennsylvania, and that " the
current of public opinion" was in its favor. Here
is no room for dispute ; the People were satisfied
with it, and but for the inrigning spirit of an am
bitious aspirant for the Presidency trona that State,
this healthful " current of public opinion" would
have remained uuchan,ged. I have evidence to
satisfy me that the news of the passage of this res.
elution of instruction by the Legislatare of Penn
sylvania, came upon this personage like a dap of
thunder from a clear sky— it was sudden, ones
pected, startling! And forthwith appliances were
pat in motion to debauch the public sentiment of
the State;
and to these appliances may be aunba
ted, in a< great measure, the false position in which
Pennsylvania now stands on this question of " Free
Soil."
In my next I will 'ministate srane of these *p
enances, and will state their result In the mean
time, 1 will give_ some evidence that Pennsylvania
did not stand alone in her attitude of hostility to the
further extension of Slivery. Eleven other States
spoke oat in favor of the ar Proviso ;" and, as a
manor of record, I will be glad if you will publish
the following resolutions froni the different State
Legislatures in relation to Slavery in the Territo-
ries, and the admission, of Slave States into the
Union :
Resolution of Vermont, Jonesory 28, 1848.

FATAL COLLISION ON THE EASTERN RAILEOATI.
A collision occurred last night between two trains
on the Eastern Railroad, whiCh was theadtullY fa
tal in its results--six persons having lost their lives.
The facts, as far as we have been able to ascer
tain, are as follows : The train was proceeding
from Lynn to Salem, with a large party of Whigs
on their return from the Whig meeting in Lynn.
The train consisted of five or six cars filled with
passengers. The other was a train from Salem on
Its way to Marblehead, with a party of Democrats,
on their return from a Democratic meeting in Sa
lem. On reaching the trim-out at the Marblehead
junction, the swich unexpectedly to the Engineer,
was ammged for the Lynn train to pass to Salem.
The consequence was, that the Salem and Marble.
head train was run on to the wrote , track, and be
fore this accident-could be: remedie d' and the trains
removed the Lynn and Salem train reached the
spot, and while going at great speed, . ran limo the
other train. The collision was so vio lent that the
engines of both trains were smashed, so ar almost
completely to destroy them. The ears of the Mar
blehead train were thrown into a heap and broken
to piece': Five persons in this train were killed
instantly ? and six others were badly injered, one o
whom died this morning. The follotiring are the
names of the killed, as repotted :`SAfintiel M,
ning, of Marblehead, a young married man •, Na
thaniel W. Roundy,ef do.; John George Stephen.
of do.; John Crow, of do. about 15 years, the so
of a widow ; Henry Trefry ' about 20, son of th
Cashier ofihe Marblehead Bank: and a lad by th.
name of Russell. Among those wounded was
tarn of Capt It Brown, who had both legs broken .
Franklin Curtis, broken leg •, Thomas Clothey, col
lar-bone 'broken ; Seth Hathaway, badly bruised,
'Mosel Hill, Esq.; all of Marblehead-- - --and othe -
whose names we hare not heard. The Condu
tar, Engineer and Fireman of the Marblehead train
were somewhat injured, but it is hoped not sen
ouslyc Some of the passengers in the first Ca
were thrown a considerable distance by the coin
cession, but escaped injury. -We understand th: t
