the Public Improvements, or in any other capacity
in which he may have acted— in all'which, he
discharged his duty fautifoily, honestly and ably.—
Mr. Gamble has always been a firm and unyielding
member of the Democrati.: Republican patty, and
for a long series of years, has stood by her prin
ciples, her cause and:her candidates. That Mr.
G.lmble -belongs It, this faction, or that, is untrue
He recognizes no faction. lie expects to re

We understand that there was remaining in. the
Treasury, slier the payment of the interest, over
5200,000. If this be the case, the friends of the
North Branch have reason to enquire why their
interests ate slain slighted, •
• The Ledger of the says in regard to the
'payment of loan, and the surplus in Treasury that
" the payment of the semi-annual interest on the
Slats debt yestenlay did not draw together as large
a number of Claimants as usual; though this may
have arisen from the fact that • little more expedi•-
lion was used than on some firmer occasions—the
payments being in clean currency—obviating the
delay heretofore incident to the payment of dirty,
depreciated and ragged small -bills. iVe under.
stand the Treasury holds some-6200,000 above the
amount required for the payment of the interest,
and that 111 least that sum will be derived during
the year from collateral inheritance tax, dx., and
appropriated to the sinking fond for the redemp
tion of the State debt. Thus is Pennsylvaniacred
it gradually, cnythe rise?'
We learn by the Republican, of the Ist. lust, the
particultrs of a melancholy occurrence which hap
peneilsgifinghamton, causing the deaths of twoin
dividuak, u Lewis Seymour and an Trish lad by
the naive of Martin Collins, recently 'arrived here,
in the employ of C. McAllister. This lad, in com
pany withJanother, went in bathing in the Chenan:
Vo river about opposite the residence of Senator
Hall, yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. He started to
swim across the river, and probably taken with the
cramp, called upon his companion fur assistance,
who gave the alarm.
Mr. Lewis Seymour ; living near by, ran to the
rescue, and being an excellent swimmer went into
the river with Ilia clothes on. The drowning lad
seized him around the body and drew him under
the water. Mr. Davies ; a young gextletnan . from
New York, also rushed in tcrisave, but barely ma.
ped, through the exertions of Mr. Johnson, with his
life—being entirely exhausted. From twenty-five
tolhirty minutes elapsed before those who after
wards came to the spot succeeded in taking the
tuo bodies from the water. All efforts known to
the physicians of the village to resuscitate them
were faithfully made, but proved unavailing. Mr.
Seymour returned to his family but the evening be
fore, after an absence of several weeks. He has
been one of our active. business citizens; was a
man highly esteemed in the community, and has
left a large }amity, with others, to mourn the loss
of a valuable life thus suddenly sacrificed to a no
ble impulse of humanity. , Mr. Seymour's age was
about 56."

Cot. PiErrron —We rejoice to learn that Col
Betroa is likely to achieve •a triumphant and cer
tain victory over the Calhoun slavery propagan
dests of Missouri. Ile is actively engaged in can
vassing the State, and at every encounter his oppo•
nents are discomfited by his indomitable energy
.and will, combined with his thorough knowledge
of the 'Subject he is discussing.
While he in a Slave state, is thus nobly battling
for Freedom, and is likely to be sustained by Slave
holders, how lamentable it is to see here in the
free Keystone, such avowed and open friends to
ilie canoe of Slavery, as the Pcnnsytvanian, and
others of the same cliqne, who are endeavoring to
defeat the cause of Freedom, by a policy worse
than Calhoun's and meaner, because it dares not
meet the question frankly.
The Democrats of the nee county of Lawrince,

In relation to Slavery, the following is their posi

CUOLERA IN Naw Yoaa..--On Saturday last there

decrease
CHOLERA IN BUCKS COUNTY.—.The cholera broke
oat in the Bocka County Alma House, week before
last, and 18 persona had died al it on Tuesday. At
a later date, the number of deaths was reported at
50.
The Doylestown Democrat of the 25th, says:
Jacob Edwards, of Northampton township, having
jut returned, on the Saturday previous, from a vis
it to his son, Col William Edwards, Steward of the
Almshouse, was suddenly seized with cholera, and
soon alter expired. On Saturday the 14th, Joseph
Ashton and wife, of Bensalem, township, having
eaten of cucumbers for d man, were taken with
cholera and died in a few hours.
It was also prevailing at Pennypacker's Iron
Works, in Durham township, to Inch au alarming
extent, that the works were stopped and those con.
nected with them had left the premises.
Intelligence to Saturday morning, informs us that
of the whole number in the House before the die
ease entered, 110, there have been 75 deaths, in
ducing the Steward.
We hope the Steward, Directors and Physicians
of our Alms House, will at once turn their attentiop
to the condition of the inmates, the buildings and
the adjacent premises, and have everything re
moved of abated, which is calculated to invite the
disease, or excite its malignity should it unfortu
nately find an entrance.
The Chicago Democrat, thus announces Gen
Cass letter:
"Gen. Cass lately written to the Washington
Union another Nicholson letter over which Grand
Father Ritchie laughts hitnselt in hysterics almost
and draws a contrast between Gen. Cass and Col.
Benton. No wonder the old gentleman prefers
Gen. Cass. We should ourselves, wire we a negro
driver."

And slowly riding up the spangled sky,

And all serenely fall her silvery beams
On Suiquebanna's bright and limpid breast.
'Bireeiriver!—well glove in such an hour
As this to gaze on thy pellucid wave—
Here, rippling gayly o 'er a pebbly bed.
And throwing oat the pearly drops that gleam
Like diamonds in the soft and silvery ray—
There, gliding smoothly on with even course..
Reflecting back the soft.clear beams, like joy's
Pure sunlight on the brightened face of youth!
And as I gaze alone on thee, my thoughts
Are winging back to long departed years,
Ere tby clear waters had gave gladness to
The white man's eye, or thy lone winding banks
And echoed to the white man's tread. 'Twas then
' That deep and mighty forests stood in all
Their gloomy grandeur and wild majesty
, Along thy shore. Then the brave red man
In his wild freedom dwelt beside thee n and
In thy bordering woods with arrow true,
Sought the wild feathered game, and nimble deer.
Then, at this hour—the gentle nour of eve
The Indian maideti in her light canoe
Sailed o'er thy placid bosom. Then,lndian lovers
Beside thee, wooed their dusky mates, and heard
The words in language wild and tweet
Which made them happy. Then, on thy banks
The Waiviors brave. lit up their council-diva'
And danced, and sung the songs of victory.
When from the deadly combat they returned.
How many secrets in thy bosom hut thou,
Gentle River!—Tales of love beside
Thee'whispered,—tales of crime and hatred
'Fold to thee alone. How many awful scenes

Of secret murder known to thee alone—
' Of agonizing deaths, the very thoughts of which
Now make my blood run cold. These secrets all
Lie in thy bosom, there to stay
Forever unrevraled.
Bat while I muse
What sounds of discord fall upon my ears!
It is the songs of revelry—the laugh
Boisterous, unmeaning; and the trip of feet
That to the sound of flute and violin
Move in the mazes of the wildering dance!
What pure and true enjoyment can they take
Who revel now in fashion's ball, and join
The giddy throngs of pleasure I—For toe
I shun the festive crowd, and wander forth,
At this delightful boor, when all's repose,
And beings of a brighter, purer kind,
Or spirits of the air seen thronging round
On wings of moonlight gossamer, holding above
The bosom of sweet Susquehanna's waters
A fairy concert for the poet's ear,—
To bold soothing commission with my love
And dearest mother—Ns-roes, who has taught
Me all I know, and made me what I am.
The whippoorwill has ceased her mournful lay
And from the bough the night hawk screams no more.
But hark! borne by the zephyr's wings, a sound
Of soothing sweetness trills along the waters.
Whence does it come ! is it some wood nymph
stealing
At this stilly hone to sport in Ltma's light!
Or maid from thy bosom, Elusonehanna.
Whose soft and tender music falls upon
My earl But it has ceased ! Ah, ah, I see !
'Twas yonder maiden that now stands beside
Thee, gazing at the thousand stars-reflections
Dancing on thy surface.
And is there, then,
Another being, who delights in pleasures
Such es I do—to wander at twilight* molly hoar
Along the silent path—and stand at evening,
Lighted by the moon's rich light, beside
The bed of murmuring water•—and to sing
The songs I love, when there are none to bear
Save the kind spirits of the air, and gentle Echo,
That snatches op the notes, and Rings their burden
O'er again ? Yes, one fair being—and I know
she most be gentle, as the notes she sing!
I'll go to her, and with a joyous sympathy
Pour the Inspiring feelinas of ,he hour
Into her ear. I knovi she'll cherish them.

MAKING ME NiCh3T oT TRADE. --qt California cor
respondent of New York Commercial Advertiser
relates some singular anecdotes toldiby those who
%vete at the mines last year illustrative of their man
ner of dealing with the Indians: .
"Seeing how eagerly the pale fares were en
gaged in digging. the yellow stuff the Indians ap
plied themselves with all diligence to the task, and
with great success, as they could better undergo
the exposure and fatigue. But in selling their gold
their ignorance of its value was shamefully taken
advantage of; the white man put a dollar in one
scale and the gold in the other; the weight of the
was a a dollar's worth of gold,' and even when the
Indian began to know the value of his gold he
could not comprehend its value in trade the gold
in exchange for goods being fifteen dollars an ounce
but for cash six or seven. The poor fellow would
sell for cash, and then turn round"trnd buy what
ever he required at the exorbitant cash price de
manded, which appeared to him less than its value
in gold—for Instance one hundred and fifty dollars
for a blanket. But these rogueries are now ended
as the Indian bor.ght a good stock of experience
during that fi.st summer, and has learned to place a
higher value on his gold dust."

PYinff
The sight when the writ ° e a r (who weight the third
pauenger car) reached the scene in question, was
of the most agonizing character—three human be
ings being suspended by their limbs from the
wreck, bead downward, and were obliged to be
supported by hand for (leaf half an hour before, by
the aid of Axes they could be removed from their
distressing position. This sight, together with the
groans and shrieks of the wounded, was sufficient
to unman many present while others of the pas
sengers (among whom an elderly gentleman nam
ed Chase, of Baltimore, and a Mr. Hutchinson of
Philadelphia were conspicuous for the coolness'
and judgment with which they directed their efforts)
did all that men could do to relieve the sufferers.
Being near to Princeton, relief was soon obtain
ed, and the 6 o'clock, A. M. train arriving from
New York, the wounded were brought to the
Princeton Depot and Drs. Dunn, Schenck and
Clough took them in charge, and never has the
writer seen more care and solicitude shown for
suffering humanity than was here exhibited by
physicians, passengers and railroad employew.—
Mr. Conever of Trenton died in a few minutes af
ter the collision, also a laboring man, name not
known. A Mrs. Hollingsworth . and another lady.
name not ascertained, lay apparently at the point
of death when the cars left Princeton. Mrs.
held in her arms at the time of accident an infant
five weeks old, which escaped injury, while Mr.
H. himielf was so badly bruised• about the bead
and breast as to. be zonsidered dangerous. It is a.
singular fact that in this first car where no less
than four mothers with Intants--the former were
much cut and injured, while the latter escaped; a
circumstance owing no doubt to the mothers in
stinctively leaning over and shielding each her pre
cious charge from threivening danger.
As already stated above, two were killed and 17
more or less injured. The killed • were William
Conever, the Carpenter and Superintendent of
bridges for the Raritan Canal, and a stranger whose
name is unknown: He was an Irishmad and a
second-class passenger.
The wounded were Wm. R. Walters, of Potts
ville, who has a compound Iracture in the right leg,
with oiler serious bruises. lives are entertained
for his recovery.
Martin Mew., a German, of Philadelphia, receiv.
ed sundry severe lacerations on different parts of
the hody,:bie his ease is not considered dangerous.
Martin Morell, German, Philad. received a frac
ture in the knee and a dislocation of the arm. He
will doubtless recover.
James Hollingsworthof Philad. contusion in the
head. Mrs. Hollingsworth, wife of J. 11. is very
seriously injured and not expect to recover. Their
infint child was saved.
Capt. Shipper' of Bordentown, Superintendent of
the Railroad, and a highly esteemed citizen, was
very badly hint ed; but at the latest accounts he had
considerably revived, and hopes were entertained
for his recovery.
Mrs. E iza Bryan of Philadelphia,' was danger
ously injured.
Thos. and Joseph Glassop, father and son, were
considerably, but will probably recover. The
young man was brought on to Jersey city, and the
father remained at Princeton.
The others who were more or less injured, were
Simeon Griswold of New ; Hatrick Macpere, of
Williamsburg. L I.; Mathew North, Charles Mouse
ly, William Milkman, Mrs. Mary Lindsley, Mrs.
Eliza Hand, (daughter of Mrs. L.) Barbara Hou.s.e,
Mary Ann Gaston (colored.) all of Philadelphia.
There was a story afloat that an infant, five or
sit weeks old, was crushed to death but we could
not find anybody who had seen the dead infant or
who could positively assure as that a child had been
killed. One mother is said to have passed her lit
le infant out of the widow of the car on the grass
at the time of the crash, thus probably saving its
life
It Teemed to be prevailing opinion at Princeton
that the switch was purposely set misplaced by
some malicious individual, and that no person con
nect with the road, was at all accountable for this
heart-rending disaster.
Woot. Griowtno ne It.t.nroni.—The Peoria Regis
ter gives a good account of the sheep pasture of
of that part of Illinois. They are becoming numet

The entire number of head in the county is stated
at 90,000 and the wool clip of the past spring at
69.000 pounds. The venerable Bishop Chaseis one
of the chief growers of that immediate vicinity,
owning a Hook 012000 head. C. Stone also has a
flock of the same size and there are several othet
flocks, of 1100 fo 1500 head.
The
of
of w-ol growing is receiving a great
deal of attention there and becoming one of much
importance. An interesting account is given of a
Hock of pare French Merinoes just introduced in.
to that county, by Mr. Truman Humphrys of Elm

STATEMYST OF Coy. Baowx.—.Governor Brown,
Democratic caplidate for re-election in tht Fourth
Congressional District of Mississippi, said in his .
speech before the Convention at Monticello, ac
cepting the nnniination, that.—
" The people will see at the next session, both.
Houses of Congress pass the Wilmot Proviso, and
will see that the document signed by a Southern
President. Such was was the opinion of leading
Whigs in Mississippi, with whom ho had convent
eil ; such tie knew to be the universal opinion at
Washington, and such was the opinion of every
intelligent man who was well informed on the sub
ject" Gev. Brown further stated that be "had
had a personal conversation with Gen. Case since
the election ' and that Gen. Cass then said unequiv
ocally, that he never would have subscribed to the
doctrines of the Wilmot - Proviso, and that be could
not perceive how any man could believe that he
would, after reading the Nicholson letter." Gov.
Brown also said that Michigan would most _probe
bly instruct her Senators to vote for the ‘Vilmot
Proviso, and that before Gen Cass would carry out
such instructions he would resign his seat in the
Senate.

anniversary of the battle of the Boyne, a very seri
ous collision took place between a party of armed
Orangemen and Catholics near Castle William, in
the Country of Down. The Orange party' having
celebrated the day, and being on their march- home,
while passing a defile called Dolby's Brae found
their pato waylaid. All the pass and surrounding
bill was occupied by an immense number of Ro
man Catholics provided with pikes and fire-arms,
and plainly contemplating a general massacre. The
Protestants, aided by a small party of police and
military, stood upon their defense, and succeeded.
in forcing their way through the pass after a short
struggle in which 40 or 50 persons are said to have
been killed or wounded on both sides, much the
greater proportion being of the Roman Catholic
party. Thirty-eight Ribbonmen had been taken
prisoners. On Sunday two medical gentlemen
drove through the country round about the scene of
conte-t, with the view of administering relief to
those who were wounded, but they were refused
admittance at every house where they called.
