The following account of an interesting female
sleep-walker is taken from the .hugstlirgh Gazette.
It occured some few years back.
"Dresden was the theatre of a melancholy spec
tacle on the 20th ult. As early as seven in the
morning, a female was seen walking on the root of
one of the loftiest houses of the city apparently
occupied in preparing - mine:garlands as a Christ
tpaEpresent.:
The lout Otood'as it were, alone. ' being much
- higher 'than' these adjoining it, todrow her iron]
her perilous pitr atiopWas impossible. Thousands
of - spectators had - 'assembled in the streets. The
scene Wok thrilling! ' - •The object of the most aux
ions solicitude of the increasing crowd, was a young
Wriman of much beauty, the, daughter of a geptle
-mans Ntholived in the house above described.' She
had last Ler mother whohacl 'bequeathed to her a
small independence. - She continued her terrific
promenade for hours at times, setting op the per
apetand dressing her hair. The police came to
the spot and various Means oil preservation were
resorted to. '

- In a fevemintites the street MIS thickly strewn
with straw, and bedewere called for from the hou
ses; but. the heartless lather, influenced by the
sirrsi stepmother refused them. Nets were sus
pended froni the balcony of , the first-floor, and the
neighbors . fastened sheets to the windows. All
this time the girl waiwalking with perfect unciin
ticiousnesa,, sometimes 'gaging towards the moon,
and at others singing or talking to herself. Some
persons succeeded in gitting - on the roof but dired
riot approach her, for fear'of the consequences if
they awoke - her.
_Towards _eleven o'clock, she op
'Ptoachad•ttie very verge of the parapet, leanedfor
ward and gazed upon - the multitude beneath.—
Every one felt; that the moment :of the catas
trophe had arrived, She rose up however and re
turned calmly to -
the window by which she: had
got out. When she saw- there were lights , in , the

Christian Philanthropy.
The great mass of the community are bat little
aware of the amount of generous effcirt now Made
:by the philanthropic of every Christian name, for
-. evangelizing the morally destitute portions of our
'country; and perhaps still less aware of the ne
cessity of increased efforts of this kind for perpetu
ating oar free institutions, and securing the highest
glOry and happiness of our nation. But it is a
matter of gratitude that so many are awake on the
subject. The Rev. Dr. Humphrey delivered an
able discourse in Boston recently, on the-subject
of- Home Missions, with4eference,aspecially to
our "Great West," embracing. now, as he estima.

The Indedenrlent Order of Odd Fellows boast •of
a pectiliar'philosophy, but which is nothing more
than Christian ' benevolence under another name,
as is ;plain -from the following elegant and glow

,hrother of the order:
,
“Hers is - a calm, sweet realm. Hers are the
greempasttires and the still waters,--hers the ways
.of pleasantness, and the paths of peace! The gar

splendor of genius, the glitter of wealth, the might

annals of-the past,ind they all become but as chaff
upori•the'bosom of the wind. Yet she stops not

Apprenticeship.
Apprenticeship is the most important stage of
life through which a mechanic is called upon to
It ill emphatically the springfeason of his
days, the, time when he is sowing the seed, the
fruits of which he is to reap in after years. If he
spare. no . labor, in its proper culture, he is sure of
cthtaining an abundant harvest; but if, in the cul
ture of the mental soil, he follow the example of
'many in tilting the earth, and carelessly and negli
gently does his Work, like them he will find the
seeding time past, and his ground bringing forth
c, Only weeds and briars. Let the young apprentice
bear in mind, when he commences learning any
twines; that all hopes of success in the future are
doomed to fads away like the morning-mist, unless
he improve the golden season. Let him bear in
mind, that he can become master of his business
wily through the closest application and the most
_pentevering industry; and that unless he does
master it, be may bid farewell to all visions of
future prosperity and success. The apprentice
'is,thefoundation of the great mechanical edifice,
and;sorely if the foundation of a structure be not
- rum, the structure itself falls to the earth; Then,.
young friend, persevere; be studious and attentiye
study well , all breaches of your business,, both
practical and theoretical--and you will imt fail,
when your time shall come to take an as:live-part
in life, to be of use, not only in your own,particular
NI/DUI, but to society.

United States Senator.
JAPIE9 COOPER, who was recently elected U. S.
Senator, to succeed SMON CAMERON, is the present
Representative in Congress from Adams county, in
this State. He was the unsuccessful candidate fora
nomination for Governor in 1847, and was known as
the special favorite of Andrew Stewart and Moses
Hampton. He is an old Antirnagonic whig ; and his
election will prove highly satisfactory to that inter
esting faction. Mr. Cooper was not the unanimous
cho ice of the wings in Legislative cancer, by any
means. Several whigs refused to go into caucus;
and after that sanbedrim was organized,Mr.Swartz
welder, of this county, retired in disgust—so we
learn by a letter from Harrisburgh. WALTER Fox.
WARD, of this city, recoiled but Lye votes ; thus
proving that the Western whip were under the con
trol of Hampton & Co.

majority in the Legislature, ho has cause to feel

The aOld Gazette.”
*or venerable cotemporery, the , ' Old Gazette, ,,
that for half a century or more has "braved the bat
tle and the breeze" in defence of federal whiggery,
• appears now, in its decline, to be considered hn
worthy of the confidence or respect of its party
friends. Our 'new Mayor, Captain ilinithott, has
taken the City printing,troin the Gazette, and given
it to the American and Journal I The American
was recently branded by the Deaßon, as a 6, nutrit
ious sheet," and its Editor,"james W. Biddle, (Gov.
Johnston's Sealer of Weights and Measures,) was
stigmatized as a person whose character . 4 for honor,
jiii,tness and fairness, is beneath contempt: , The
D eacon, on more than one occasion, has endeavored
to produce the impression that the Journtd is a sort
of Loco Foco concern, and of course, at the same
time, set up claim for the "
,old •Gazette," as being
the real Simon pure orthodox whig paper of Pitts
burgh ! Madam Rumor says that the Gazette is. to
be the official organ of Gen. Taylor's administration
in Western Pennsylvania; but we do net credit a
word•of it. The contest for the organship will be
between ,the Dispatch and Journal., both of which
were c" original Taylor paßers. ,, It is no little
merit to boast of being an original Taylorite !
The Shakeist.
The. New Hampshire House of Representatives,
on the -day before the final adjournment, by a vote
of 176 to 39,4assed a bill enacting that “Whenever
a man having a family, shall connect himself with
any religious sect, or society, which professes to be
lieve the relation of husband and wife unlawfill, or
cohabitation between them sinful, the right of such
husband over his property shall beenspended, and
thereafter, Ilia wife of ouch person shall have the
management - iliacontrol of such property, in the
same
.way" and manner as her said husband m ight
have done before such connection, except that the
said Wife phial not convey any real estate eller said
husband, or lease the same for a longer period than
five years: , Provision was made, that the property
might be'restored to him, in case he should atiantion
said sect or society. The Senate postponed the bill
indefinitely by.a unanimous vote; probably dertaiin i g

Railroad from Pittsburgh to Mt. Vernon
We observe from a report of Mr. Whippo - on the
survey of a route for a railroad from Pittsburgh to
Mt. 'Vernon, that the people of Pittsburgh have at
length becomotwakened to the importance of a di
rect railroad route to Cincinnati. They have- at
length become convinced of a fact .that they might
have learned from the Commercialfnars ago—that if
the trade of the valley of the Obi &awn by arti
ficial means to the Lake slope , i will go to New
York and Boston. This report ultra a common sense
view of the carve, and sewforth the advantages of a
abort route. By this route.the Distance front Phila
delphia to Cincinnati is .666 .miles - by way of the.
Pennsylvania railroad, and the contemplated route
from Pittsbuigh to Cincinnati, or 300 miles lees than
by a northern route to New York. ilioNtittthe loca
tion of Cincinnati gives her a choicearmarkets,
Philadelphia end Baltimore, which entilkadvantages
to command a large portion of her trade by - artificial
means, would do well to look to their own interests.

Ilkir We think a great deal might be done in behalf
of the route alluded to by our friend of the Com
mercial, if there was a Convention in this place or
Steubenville, and a free interchange of sentiments
bad on the part of delegates representing the regitin
of country between Philadelphia and Cincinnati:—

Edward A. Penniman, Esq.
Ma. Entreat—As the Democracy era to assemble
in your city, in State Convention, on the 9th ofJuly
next, I desire to have published a few lines in refer
ence to a choice for Canal Commissioner. quiets
by some Providential interference, now unknown to
us, that will be the most important office to fill next
fall. It is one, however, that always demand/ the
labors of our best qualified citizens. The success
of the Democracy in electing the officers of the Ca.
nal Board, must be attributed to the care taken, and
sound judgment displayed in taelecting candidates.
It is to be hoped that the same precautionary move
ments will continue to characterize the conduct of
the Democracy. In addition to names already given
in connexion with the office of Canal Commissioner,
I desire to add that of EDWARD A. Perryman, Esq.,
of Philadelphia. Mr. Penniman is a gentleman of
high literary attainments—a politician of the defer
sonian school—an eloquent debater, and thoroughly
acquainted with the institutions of our State. His
location is where it ought to be: in the enemy's
headquarters---where he would delight to meet an
opponent upon the stump—where he could « board
the lion in his den," and where he is universally
recognized as an adviser and co-worker with those
who labor most in the great republican ,harvest.
know of no person better qualified to discharge ; the
duties of that office, and no location so well adapted
as Philadelphia for the selection of a candidate. I
hope,'in considering the interests of the people and
the party, it will be deeided most expedient to cheese
Mr. P., both from the fact that he will bring thou
sands of opponents to his support, all the domocra-.
cy,.and will make an energetic and efficient cfficer,
if elected. A WESTERI4 DEMOCRAT.
For the illetrrting
Canal Commissioner.
Mc EDITOR: As the time approaches when it will
be necessary for the Democracy of this Common..
wealth to place in nomination a candidate for the
office of Canal Commissioner, at the next October
election, and although I have heard some persona
say that it was too soon to agitate the question, (as
the State Convention does .not meet before "July,)
my own opinion is there can be no hhrm in placing
the names of those whom we wish to support before
our Democratic tellow-citizens, in order that they
may have some opportunity of enquiring for them
selves as to their qualifications for the office to
which they aspire. I believe it is conceded that the
North is entitled to the candidate; the West and
East basin each a member in the present Board.—
Permit me, therefore, to plea before the public the
name of JOHN A. Gasince, Esq., of Jersey shore,
Lycoming county.
Mr. Gamble is a true Jeffersonian Democrii,t, whose
business habits and long experience as a public im
provement man eminently qualis , him for the office
'of Canal Commissioner. Ho is si practicafman,
who, if elected, would aid our present excellent
Board to carry out all the measures of reform neces
sary to make our canals profitable and lessen great
ly our taxation. Where Mr. G. is kilowatt is not
necessary to say a word in , hispraise—his neighbors
and those who know him require no vouchers. But.
as he is rot eo well known in this section of the
State,l may be permitted to say that ' I have known
him or upwards of fifteen years, and a more honor
able, upright and gentlemanly man is no where to be
found- He is convenraut with almost all kinds of
busineso; energetic :and firm, yet mild hnd cour
teous—and I think I may safely..say, that the
Lion of Mr. Gamble would secure to us the good old
&Ahmed majority of 20,600 . . majority in the Key
stone. .

'of course you hlie heard of tfiediacriveryt.f the
California Gold Mines. Gold was first disiovered in

called New Helvetia.- . The discovery_ was made in
_this wise. ,Two small children who were picking,

shops, books, offices, and dockets, and rode like
mad mett to the El Acrado. Bien those. Mimed
late men called soldiers waived patriotism and oath
to serve their country, and bent their •steps toward

At Sonoma I was within `

but for aeieral daysi did not credit the tales told,me
but about this time Capt. Sutter Bent to Gov. Boggs

It came'down every day. The first who commen

per diem, from the middle, f July to. the last of Au

some with and Some without machines, made from
3to 10 ounies . per diem. There are now on the
branches of Sacramento and Am can Fork more
than 3000 men digging and sellininbods. Our regi
ment was disbanded on the 15th day of August, by
order of Maj; Gen. Butler. Yon may well believe
that this was a day of rejoicing and congratalatiori
among us volunteers, and the citizens generally..
The soldiers and officers have nearly all gone to
the mines. As near as can be estimated, over $600,,
000 in gold dust can - been exported from this port
on the 20th September, and it is thought that $5OO,
000 more will be ready for exportation by the last

trean:thr. was called up. In answer to the
usual 'question, - by the tOurt,.he said , - s r I did - not
steal his men* if bit I`cotifess I , won it from him by
gambling, This is my first 'offence, and 'I ask the
mercy' of the Court: , The Ciurt replied 'that his
offence was aggravated ; ;and the sentence ithould
2 yeare and 6 Months. ,
Wm. Davis, a colored boy, wascontleted'orsteal
ing a trunk from . a waiter in Weaver's Hotel.' Mr.
Magehan ttaked that he should be sent to' the House
of Refuge; but the Court did not deem him a 6t
subject-for that institution, and senteUced -him to 16
months in the penitentiary.
George Kelly, a colored man, convicted of burg.
lary addlardeny, was called - tip fo? sentence._ Mr.
Marshall, his counsel, urged the motion for a new
trial ; but the,Cogrt overruled it, and' passed sen
tence of 3 years and 6 - months.
James Clark, convicted of stealing clothing from
a boarder in the Mansion House, Penn street, was
`called up. He said I know nothing of the charge
against me. I wasdrunk at the time." His sentence
was 16 months. -
Andrew Conner, who was convicted with Clarke,
Was called. - It appeared to the Court that , the cir
cumstances required that some further inquiry should
be made in aerie, and he was'remanded without
sentence. His wife came in, and took her seat be
side,
him in the prisoner's box. She is a very honest
looking young woman ; and be presents none of the
appearances.of a thief.
The Allegheny Pelice Officers, Armstrong , and
Randolph, who were convicted of assault and bat
tery, at the last Session, came into Court and exhib
ited a pardon from Gov. Johnston. A question
arose as to.vvbether the costs were remitted by the
pardon. No decision was made.
Rollenbaugh and Donnelly, who were convicted
of thrashing each other most unmercifully, were
each sentenced to pay $25,00 and costs. Served
them right.
ZratstiturN Cesc.—Mr. Irwin proposed to argue
the motion in arrest of judgment and motion for st
`new trial, together. The Prosecuting Attorney, as.
smiting to the arrangement, Mr. Heidelberg proceed
ed to address the Court. He read the followingpa
pers which had been filed
. Reasons Filed in Arrest of Judgement.
1. The Court had no jurisdiction, for the Supreme
Court of the State was sitting in , this County when
the inferior Court of Oyer and Terminer had com
menced to be holden; which is prohibited by the
sth Section of the sth Article of the Constitution of
this Commonwealth
2. Setne of the jurors empannelled were no
"good and lawful men."
3. The talesmen were directed by the Court to be
"autrimimed and returned becore the regular panel
was exhausted.
4. The prisoner was refused a full panel, although
insisted on by his counsel, C. Darragh, Esq.
5.' The talesmen were not chosen from among the
bystanders.
6. The,jurors empannelled in this case were al
lowed to separate after they were sworn, and before
they had agreed upon the verdict.
7. It does not appear by the record that the jurors
were ,4 " sworn or seamed.
S. It appears from the record that the jurors were
all of them sworn, and that they rendered their ver
dict on their respective oaths and affirmations.
9. It does not appesr from the record that the pris
oner, Joseph Zimmerly, was "arraigned.
Reasons for a new trial
1. New evidence has been diecovereil' einee the
2. The verdict is agninst the evidence
3. The verdict is against the weight of evidence
given by , Dr. Armstrong.
a. That there were symptoms testified to by tiri
impeached evidence, characteristic of delirium -tre
mens, and not found in tomnion drunkenness.
b. The evidence disproving malice.
c. The absence of provocation, and also of malice,
together with evidence of insanity, gives weight to
the latter, and should have done so in this case.
d. The presumption tirising from a(deliberate)use
of a deadly weapon, was rebutted by proof of men
tal derangement and absence of malice.
e. The intention (to kill, &c.„) was further dis
proved by the defendant's good character and kind
feeling between defendant and deceased wife.
4. The proof does not meet the allegations ae to
the wounds ; the indictment avers that they were on
the right side of the body of the deceased ; the ev.
idence shows them to be op .the left.
The argument occupied considerable time. Mr.
Bigham followed for the Commonwealth. .
Mier,consideration the new trial wasgranted, the
motion in arrest ofjudgementhavingbeen withdmivn.
We presume the case will be tried at the present
term.
We believe the Factory Riot cues will be taketi
up this morning.
MEETING or IRON WOREERI.-01/ Saturday 431+
Ding, we went to the Second Ward House, intending
to take•notice of the proceeedings of the meeting
of Puddleni and Boilers, who aro resisting the at
tempt on the part of their employers to reduce their
wages. We were soon informed that the meeting
had been held in the afternoon ; and of course, we
were too.late. We regretted our mistake, as seem
as we airpertaied that the meeting was large'and
spirited. The determination to resist was manifent.
ed by all ; and we de not doubt that they will de
serve success; 'even though they should not win it.
We hope'the:Secretary will furnish us with the
proceedings. • '
There is one indicetionyery favorable. The am,
&Lome feel disgraced-by their move, and each one
(so . far as we Alive heard,) is endeavoring to shift the
odium of the effort upon others. We have not heard
of one man who openly el:lames that he wants the
wages reduced.
This attempt to reduce•ragea came too soon alter
ha loud promisee made previous to the election.
