A Bright Spot.
It Seems, from some of the expressions of public
sentiment io New York, that all arc not shrouded
in political darkness an that State. Of this we have
long been convinced.. But one of the blightest
'spots . „ within her borders is the county of St. Law

her Democracy, the follouirg resolutions were
urnuilarioualy adopted—and would to lea% en we
could
.say imtrath that an equal degree of patriotism
was :manifested by all the other counties of that I
State. The rebuke given to those wretched spirits,
woo would "rather rule in hell than serve in hear. I

Resolved, That we hare witnessed with surprise
and indignation the efforts of men and presses in

As every thing connected with Itepublicasusm In

so at the present time,) we give tho following brief
history, extracted from an exchange paper, of the
cerebrated hymn of liberty, which ever send■ a
thrill of patriotic ardor through the souls of repub

' In the garrison of Strasburgh was a young artillery
officer namod Rocca-Tn Lists., a native of Louis Ic
Saulmer, in the Jura. He had a great taste fur mu
'-sic and poetry, and often entertained his comrades
during their beg and tedious hours in garrison.—
Sought after for his musical and poetical talent, he
a s a frequent and familiar guest at the hi.use uf one
etrich, an Alsatian patrod, mayor of Wasburgh.
The winter of 1782 was a period or great scarcity
at Strasburgli. The house of Dietrich was poor,
his table was frugal, but a seat was always open to
Rouget Ic Lisle. One day when there was nothing
but bread and some slices of smoked ham on the Li
hie, Dietrich regarding the young officer, said t o
him, with a sad serenity, "Abundance fails at ou r
le.ard; hut what matters that if enthusiasm fails not
at our civic fete, nor courage in the hearts of our
soldters/ 1 have still a last bottle of win e in my
cellar. Bring it," said he to one of his daughters,
"and let us drink Prance and Liberty. Btrasburgb
should soon have its patriotic solemnity. De Lisle.
must draw from these last drops one of those hynantS.
which raise the soul of the people."
The wine was brought and drank, after which" the
officer departed. The night was cold. De Lisle
wan thoughtful. His heart was moved, biz head
heated. lie returned staggering into his solitary
room and slowly sought inspiration, sometimes in
the fervor of his citizen soul, and anon on the keys
of his instrument, composing now the air before the
words, and then the words before the air. He sang
all and wrote nothing, and at last exhausted, fell
asleep with his head resting on his Instrument, and
awoke not till daybreak. The music of the night
returned to his mind like the impression of a dream.
He wrote it, and ran to Dietrich, whom he found in
the garden digging winter lettuce.
The wife and 'daughter of the old man wore not
up. Dietrich awoke them and called in some friends,
all as patriotic as himself for music, and able to ex
ecute the composition of De Lisle. At the lint
atanza cheeks grew pale; at the second tears flowed ;
and at the last a delirium of enthusiasm burst forth.
The wife of Dietrich, his daughter, himself, and the
officer, threw themselves, Cr) ing, into each other's
arms. The hymn of the country was found. Etc
cuted some days afterwards in Strasburgh, the new
song flew from city to city, and was played by all
the popular orchestras. Marseilles adopted it to be
sung at the commencement of the sittings of its
clubs, and the Marseillaises spread it through France,
singing it along the public roads. From this came
the name of ..111arseillabre."

RECAPI TU LATION
TRIG COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION.
Ma. HARPER: on the subject of a County sub
scription to the Pennsylvania Rail Road, permit me
to make a suggestion. I think it would be a gross
outrage on theicitixenn of Allegheny, if our County
Commissioners should assume the responsibility of
issuing Bonds to the suitount s of a Million of Dollars,
as a subscription to .the Steck of the Pennsylvania
Rail Road;without the concurrence of their con
stituents. The expediency of such a subscription
should be left to the people. I would-respectfully
suggest that a Convention be called immediately, in
which every Township in .the County and every
litrd in the two Cities, should be represented by at
least two Delegates; and if a majority is found in
the Convention favorable to the measure, the Coun
ty Commissioners could then act advisedly, and
subscribe to the stock, if it should be the wish of
the tax-payers of the County.

On Saturday evening last, in company with a
friend, we paid a visit to Apollo Hall , to witness the
exhibition of this extensive painting. The Major,
himself, asked us what we thought of the scenes.
We told him then, that they were not good. And
now, Mr. Editor, with your permission, we will tell
him why they arc nt.t good.
A picture to be good, must he accurate. We have
doubt., whether he could find a man, that had ever
seen the part second as exhibited, (we do not speak
of part lot; never having seen the original,) that
would identify it as accurate, either iu location or in
appearance.
The island of Lobbs is too small, and there are
too many high trees upon it. The ships are entirely
too close to the shore; they are within the ledge of
rocks,which,although, not observable in the painting,
neverthelesa ' exists in fact, and surrounds the entire
island. No boats pass within these rocks, without
certain destruction; unless, indeed, it be, the yawls
or surf boats; and even they, have to wait the tide.
It would pass quite as well for Herr's island, as for
Lobos.
'f he Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, could not have
been painted by any one having seen it; a drawing
of the penitentiary would be as striking a likeness
of De Wien, as that on that canvass, The ;wonting
with the Model Artistes, (we went there like Riddle,
to see fur ourselves,' was decidedly superior; but,
even that was faulty. e
In landing es from the ships,lhe has put us on the
wrong side of Vera Cruz, and made us, I.kdithe Is
raeltrea, walk on dry land, in the Gulf stream. How
ever numb we may have believed in the protectirg
hand of Providence, in saving us from the terrors of
lead and ball, it is extremely doubtful, whether there
was One so devout a Christian, as to believe the wa
ters ..1 the Gulf would be turned aside, to permit ua
to circumvent the city, on our humble petition.
We landed on the felt hand, about two miles below
Vera Cruz, and immediately struck off into the chap
pare!, thus leaving the city and castle Mob on our
right band. As fur the view of the city of Vera
Ci in, it is a most wretched botch.
The fort at the National Bridge is on the right hand,
instead of the left, and it is entirely too steep: as it
accurately stands, it is eary of access from the bridge
—that on the canvass seems to be inaccessible.
The view of the Pyramid Church, near Puebla, is
passable, and that is all.
Chapultepec may do and that` is much as the bar.
gain. The line of infantry placed in front of that fir:.
tress and firing upon it—was the front line of the
Mexicans, and then gnus levelled at us when on
t he charge.
The Palace is but two stories high, instead of
three, and the Senate Chamber, high above the
other hart of the building, is missing altogether.
The Cathedral. is the only part of the paintilig that
bears any resemblance to truth and correctness, and
although the painting may Go ' 4 a stupendous work of
art," ac opine there is inure of fiction than truth
about it,
The view of Cerro Gordo is 311 gammon—we
saw 3 Mexican, one day, with his eyes blindlidded,
draw a better likeness of the heights.
Had the Major not stated that he had surn all
these views , himself, we would have suspected him
largely endowed with the faculty of marvellousness;
but an it is, we tell him he cannot gull old soldiers,

Common Sc hoots to W Isconslo.
The new Constitution of Wisconsin i■ certainly

the education of all the People. The empervidien
of pubic instruction is rested in a Stale Supertn
tendsnt %who is to he elected by the people. The
Scl I Fund, the interest of which is to be applied,
first, to the support of Common Schools in every
district of the State, and, secondly* the maintenance
Of Academics and Normal schools, is to consist of
500,000 acres of Scheel Lands granted to the State
by the act of IrAl, the 5 per cent. on the proceeds
of the land sales, and all other property which may
come to the State by gill, devise or escheat. The
Common Schools aro to be throughout the State for
ever free of charge to every child or youth between
the ages of four and twenty years. Under this pro
vision, a shade.or two more or lam, in the color of
the skin will not doom the children of honest citi
ens to perpetual ignorance, and by this fundamental
law a tyranical majority are effectually prevented
levying a tax upon a clam of citizens who are exclu
ded from the benefits of the institution for the sup
port 6, which the tax is collected. In these two re

A Pittnicrton.—Aiii3 learn from the London A the

good guess, for Lamartino had not been politically

The Victoria (Texas) Advocate, in a notice of the
salt lakes of Nueces county, says:
Of the remarkable excellence of the salt itself for
curing meat, we ourselves can bear witness, having
lately used it with the most satisfactory results. So
efficient is it for this purpose, that the use of saltpe
tre as an auxiliary is entirely dispensed with. In
deed, we confess our surprise that the whole of
western Texas is not supplied witb this indispensa
ble necessary, from the source above referred to,
since our information leads us to believe that these
lakes furnish it in almost inexhaustible quantities.
We have no doubt, however, that enterprise will
very soon bring these salt lakes into novice, and
that they will not only open up a new branch of in
dustrial employment to our citizens, but become a
source of wealth to the State.

of the workingman's protective union. The meet

Orie of the most gratifying items of intelligence
which we have received from any source, for a long
time, is the fact alluded to in the despatch of Presi
dent Roberts, viz : The purchase of Nevi Cheater !
This is a point which we have long desired. Here
was located tho only remaining slave factory be•
tween Cape Mount and Cape Palmas. Every obsta
cle had been thrown in the way of ourgetting pos
session of it. But we have finally succeeded, and
now to the many good acts performed by the colo
ny, another of no small import is to be added, the
destruction of the last vestige of the slave trado on
that coast!
REPUBLICAN CUIIIIENCT.-A letter from Paris,
written on the 9th March says:—"On Monday next
the workmen in the taint of Paris will coin 12,000
five franc pieces in the name of the French Republic.
The coin will be like the piece called Sterettles, a
model of the year IV, with the date 1843. The only
change will be that, instead of - the word. Garant is
Nationale, on the edge, the device adopted will be
Dieu protege la France (God protect France.)
FROM SOUTH AMERlCA.—Accounts from Valparai
so to the Ist of February, say that President Rani
vian, of Bolivia, has been ejected by a revolution,
and with a few adherents had arrived at Valparaiso.
Mr. Barton, charge d'alTaires of the United States,
had also arrived. Mr. Moorhead, United States con
sul has announced his appointment as navy agent for
the United States at Valparaiso. Some account is
given of the movement of the United States vessels
Ohio and Preble to Callao, hut we have later ac
counts to the 11th of February.
Me. ADAMS' SUCCESSOR.—The lion. Horace Mann
has been selected in the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict, to succeed Mr. Adams. The vote stood for—
Mann, (whig,) 4 2&l
Whiteakcr, (democrat,) 2 290
Scattering, 1 065
Being a clear majority for Mr. Mann, over all oth
er candidates, of eight hundred and ninety-nine
votes.
Immarstnia INctnEsT.—The Theatre, on Satur
day night, was the scene of a highly interesting oc
currence. Just after the performance of the trage
dy, and before the after-piece, the orchestra struck
up the " Marseilles Hymn," and the whole audi
ence, moved as by one common impulse, rose and
responded to the call for " three cheers for the Re
public of Francq" with unbounded enthusiasm.—
The effect was electrifying—and the old walls, an
used to such demonstrations, rung with patriotic ap
plause.—Argus, Norfolk, Va., April 4.
A JI:DGIDIFGRACED.-By dates from Texas, to the
26th ult , we learn that a resolution had just passed
the lower house of the Legislature, having origina
ted in the Senate, requesting the Judge of the U. S.
District court for the District of Texas to resign.--
His name is John C. WatronP, and he is charged
with an attempt to fasten upon that State a fraud to
rob Texas of minimiser acres of her public domain.
Qusstrest ."r-xstorcs.—Monday, and the forenoon
is:ti 'yesterday, was occupied in the trial of the boys
charged with passing counterfeit money, rind larc-:
ny—upon information of Irwin & Sons, .J W. But
ler & Brother, and Mr. Noble. As we noticed yes
terday, the Jury rendered it verdict of acquittal in
the first indictment against Foy, Lutz, F.NaDA, and
Wilson. In the Larceny case in which Cook, Rob
in on, Foy and Lutz were defendants, the verdict was,
not guilty as to all. In the second case against the
same defendants, all were acquitted, except Lutz.
In the last ease tried yesterday, against Foy, Evans,
Lutz and Wilson, a Coll. pros. was entered as to
Wilson. All were acqlitted except Lutz, who was
found guilty.
The Saw Mill Run mut was then taken up,
Mr. Iloward appeared for Commonwealth; Mr. Ma
gellan for Joseph and Lewis Hahn, and Mr. Alden
for Josiah Davis. Most rolls hereabouts are familiar
with the eifellinsta flee, as related by Madame Ru
mor last January, while the excitement was FO great
in the neighborhood of Temperariceville. The old
woman said to hare been ■o cruelly outraged made
her appearance in court yesterday, and was called
by the Commonwealtli!a counsel. It• appeara that
she was found on Monday, and put in jul for safe
keeping. Slin is an "old hag" in conduct and con
versation. Iler memory appeared In base failed
her. She said she "did not know the defendants
from a aide rifisiole leather." When asked if she
recollected being taken from the house of a negro,
on a certain cloning last January, she said : "Some
rats cerried me off, but I don't know who thi y
were." The Court here suggested that the case
could not be made out, to which the prosecution
assented, and the Jury under instructions from the I
Court, rendered a verdict of not guilty, as to all
the defendants—six- in number. Josiah Davis was
discharged from prison by proclamation.
The ea ie i.fCiim. vs. Arthur Brown, was called,
bet for rearona, , v 39 not taken lip. We learn that
rieter of Arthur's has arriti•ii in this city, who
intends 11111kilig restitution of the ill-gotten wealth
of her scapc.gnet br..ther. The case will he tried
to-da y.
V The case of John W. Blair, was not intesti
gated by the Mayor yesterday morning, as was iv,.
ticipated. The unfortunate young man was corn
initteil for hearing this morning.
Thera are various rumors afloat as to the origin
of the difficulty which resulted so badly. Some say
the watch man unwarrantably interfered with Blair,
while he was standing quietly on the street, and
attempted to arrest him without cause. Others say
that the pistol was not fired by Blair, but was Mow
own, which was accidentally eischarged sthile in
his pocket. Blair, we understand, denies altknow
ledge of the affair—and protests his innocence,
strongly.
Watchman Jackson says he was standing at the
opposite corner; saw the flash and heard the re
porj Immediately ran over and found Mott, wound
ed, but still struggling to take Blair. Jackson as
sisted in making the arrest. Blair was very much
under the influence ofliquor. This is the substance
of Jackson's statements ; and we give it for what
it is worth.
Motts was sworn and examined by the Mayor
before he was taken home, immediately after the
affair had occurred. Ile stated that Blair was talk
ing loudly on the street, and ho requested him to
go home ; whereupon he (Blair) turned and replied,
"go to hell." Motts then seized him, and was in
an instant shot by a pistol in Blair's hands.
The ball entered the abdomen, on the left side.
Drs. Walters and Gatzam were attending him yes
terday. lie complained of great pain in the region
of the wound ; but was partially relieved by cup
ping. At 12 o'clock, M., his physicians seemed to
entertain but little hopes of his recovery.
THE Mvs - rzar.—The two cities have been excited
by a rumor that a man bad thrown hie wife from the
Hand street bridge into the river. It turned out that
the thing thrown over waa not his wife, but his dog.
Said dog was of a very malicous disposition, and
would snarl, and did bite, at least two men. The
owner hearing that some citizens intended to apply
to the Mayor for the riddance of the nuisance quick
ly put a stone to the neck of the animal, and threw
both over. This is the origin of the mysterious af
fair as stated to its by a gentleman wall versed in,
matters of this kind. The woman is all alive ynt.
A Sooorsnorr.—As this is an age marked by pro
' gress in every thing, we have a suggestion to move,
which if carried out, will be a vast improvement.—
It is that churches be furnished with lounges, so
that those who desire to sleep may be enabled to take
it comfortably. It is too bad that the frequenter, of
Meeting houses should be compelled to rest upon en
arm, or the back of a seat, or nothing. Many pure.
ly &Mooed persons, we have no doubt are doubtless
drawn to the woods, or induced to spend the 'Sun
days in seclusion, or in a manner much worse, on
account of the lack of conveniences in our churches
fur sleeping.
Wier The Germans who turned out in pllbcession
on Monday were not armed. The natives- were
armed to the teeth on the day of their parade. This
shows the difference.

LOCAL MATTERS.

PETER Ml;oNazta.E.—This is a nairfe - familiar to
the old citizens of Allegheny. The young men all
remember Pete. He has been wandering for years
past; and we now hear from him in Mexico. The
annexed letter will show what his conduct has been.
We have received from his brother, Matthias M'-
Gonnigle, a very. interesting letter, from Peter,
which we would gladly publish, but for its great
length. The matter of it, however, would not be
new to our readers. •
Here is the letter from the Captain of the Compa.

written to his mother :

Mrs. Mary M'Gonnigle
Madam—A letter dated June 25, 1847, directed
to let Lieutenant Charles IL Jones, Company G.,
12th Re.giment or Infantry, bas just reached me,after
a trip to the city of Mexico, and back to this place;
and is now before me. In reply, I would state,
that I left Puebla, Mexico, on the 6th November,
1847 ; at which time your son, Peter M'Gonnigle,
was well, and appeared to enjoy himself, as much
as a soldier could expectoluring an active campaign,
in an enemy's country. Peter had, up to that time,
been in six different eng.igoinents with the
further, and had escaped unhurt. 1 would state further,
that there was nut a Letter soldier in the company,
than your eon was. Always prompt in his duty,
and a man of acknowledged courage.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
