A FIGHT AS IS A FIGHT ! ' Naw,'.bif St. Patrick , the fight goes bravely on! All our fears of a dull political eummer are nowut an' end! The call for a Scott meeting ( planned and set on foot by Gov. Jobkstob’s pet and office holder, Jakes W. Biddle, Editor of the American, has caused a terrible flare-up in the ranlta of Whiggery hereabouts. The Amer ican having been selected as the organ of the Scott men, at once excited the envy and jealousy of the venerable lady of the “ Old Gazette," and aroused the warlike .propensities of the Napoleon of the Journal. These ably conducted, highly respecter ble, and very influential organs of Whiggery, are now in the midst of a very amusing fight. Those who have read an account of the triangular duel in “ Midshipman Easy," cannot fail to be inter* estedin the result of the contest between these representatives of "the decency”, party. The American boasts of the immense number of names appended to the Scott call. The Jour nal positively declares that most of the men "NEVER SIGNED THE CALL," or in other words, Biddle & Co. COMMITTED A FOR* GERV in signing the names of men to a paper, without their knowledge or consent 1 In order that our readers may properly under* stand the merits of the war that is uow in pro* jgteSa between the Scott and Fillmobs Whigs in this connty, we shall publish such extracts from the Whig papers as .will show the position of the belligerents, From the Daily American.

[Correspondence of the Morning: Post.] Stocktob, March 1,1851. Dear Sir —As I predicted in ray last, Judge Lynch has assumed the supremacy here. The people, wearied with the: continued evasions of .justice by criminals and courts, have themselves taken the responsibility; San Francisco, Stockton and Sacramento, these few days past, have been in a continual whirl of excitement consequent on the lynching of criminals in each of those places, the last and most tragical.of which occurred in Sacramento. A gambler and a miner were quarreling} when a citizen who was passing at the lime, seeing a number of c-gambler 3 assisting their .comrade, asked for fair play ; the gambler who had corns raenced the quarrel turned to him and asked him “What the d—l he had to say,” and immediately drew a revolver and shot him through the head. The murderer was arrested at once and lodged in jail; the wounded man was earned to a house and a physician sent for, who declared he could not survive. This occurred at 2 o’clock, P. M.— The crowd which had assembled proceeded to the station house where the pnsouer was confined’ their countenances denoting something desperate. They were there addressed by citizens of the highest respectability, on the continued outrages which bad taken place for some time back. They then proceeded to the Orleans House, where they appointed a jury of the first, citizens of the place, gave the prisoner counsel, and proceeded to a trial of some four hours in length, the crowd outside impatiently crying for a decision. A committee at last reported the proceedings of the jury to the people, which was to the effect that the prisoner (an Englishman, named Rowe,) deliberately and unprovokedly shot Chas. Myers (formerly a resident of Columbus, Ohio,) through the head. The decision was received with a shout, and the mass of people, now numbering some four thousand, proceeded* to the prison where be was confined and guarded by the City Marshal and the Sheriff and posse, both of whom addressed the crowd, alternately imploring and threatening, but to no effect —the doors of the prison were broken in and the prisoner taken out. It 'was now 0 o'- clock, and the night dark. He wa3 taken to an oak tree, in the heart of the city, \rtiere a scaffold was erected; and a clergyman granted to him. A handkerchief was tied over his eyes, the noose placed round hts neck, and three men drew him op; he remained suspended some twenty minutes, when he was taken down, declared dead, and give en to his friends. Your friends, ADVERTISERS. law is the last alternative and a bad precedent, bat a fated necessity makes it a law. Time after time men have been robbed and murdered in open day, and in the midst of our thoroughfares, and nothing but the rigid measures which have been taken can eave us from the revolver and bowie knife. . The Legislature has adjourned the joint session without electing a 0. S. Senator —so California is unrepresented until next year, Geary's name was withdrawn at the commencement of the billot ing. They had M 2 ballots; the last stood: King, W., 20; Weller, D., 18; Fremont, D, 9; Geary,D., 1. New mines have been found on the coast on Scott and Klamath rivers, said to be very rich.— Gfreat numbers are leaving the old mints, and alao Oregon, for the new discovery. As yet no rains of consequence have fallen. We hod showery weather for two days, but it is now warm and dry, with the prospect of continuing so. There is not much change iu the markets.- Flour is worth $5,0005.50 & cwt.; Pork, $16,00 020,00 fr bbl.; Sugar, 10012 e. s>■ D) ; Coffee, 100 20c.; best Hyson Tea, by' the quantity, 30035 c.; fresh Butter is worth $1,60 v IB.; and fresh Eggs, $3,00 i>doz. There is about to be a line of ahips established to China, from San Fraucisco. Regular steamers are plyiog from the latter place to San Diego, Monterey, Mazatian,Oregon,&c , and any amount of sail vessels to the Sandwich and other islands in the Pacific. The trade of San Francisco ia now immense; and this city ol three years growth has her Cham ber of Commerce and marine aud revenue laws, equal to any of the old maritime cities which have been existing for ages.

Habbjbboho, April 9, 1861, My Dear Patt :~An act making an appropriation of twenty thousand, dollars for rebuilding the Con estoga Railroad Bridge, near the city of Lancaster, has passed both honsos of the Legislature to-day, and has been signed by the Governor. This will secure immediate attention to the completion of this work. The bill for the re«anneiaiion of the county of Montour to the county of Columbia, was again brought before the Senate this morning, by a re* consideration of the vole upon it a few days ago.— It will probably be amended by some provisions relative to the boundaries ot township lines, court, proceedings, and some other matters of the county,, and finally pass m such a shape as to recognize its existence. The Mayor and City, Councils of Baltimore have honored lke Capitol of Pennsylvania with a visit to day, and were warmly received by our citizens and by the members or the Legislature. Seale were provided for themnpon'the floor of the House of Rep* reseutatives/and also, within the bar ofthe Senate, to which they were conducted by the officers, and there introduced to many ofthe prominent Senators and members of the House. Thin body of Balti more officials are all fioc looking men, and have a marked expression of Intelligence and goodness of heart. They visited the State Lunatic Asylum, in company with the Board ofTrasteea of that Insti tution, andi I am informed, were highly delighted with the grandeur of the edifice and the beauty ot the scenery around it. This Is a delightful place for this unfortunate portion of our population, who have their reason dethroned, and are thrown into an trareal world of chaos atnd confusion, where exist once is worse than annihilation. The general appropriation bill has been consul* erod by the committee on finance in the Senate, and is ready to be reported. This committee has strick en out several items passed in the House, and among others, an appropriation of five thousand dollars to the Sisters of Mercy, and the same sum to the Western Hospital. They hare reduced the aggregate of this bill in a considerable degree. The House has been all day upon the Private Cal endar. The bill for the taxation of freight and travel upon, the York and Cumberland lUilroau, came up, ana after some discussion, the House ad journed without any final action ap°n th® bill. A bill relative to certain Judicial Districts, and the time of holding Courts in the Common wealth* is going back and forward between the two Houses. As ever, FRANKLIN. A Singular Story. Galignani's Messenger contains the following singular story, which may or may not be true, as Galignani is famous for strange events. A few days since a medical man named Phillippe died in n village near Paris, where he had resided many years, and had acquired a great reputation for skill and probity. He never demanded any remuneration, except from those who were incir cumstanees to be able to pay him, and during the last visit ol the cholera he was indefatigable in his attention to the suffering poor. Last year nil Englishman, travelling in that part ol the country was taken so suddenly ill that he was obliged to stop at an inn in the commune, and Dr. Phillippe was sent for. Scarcely, however, bad he arrived at the bed side of the patient, when the latter became vio. lently agitated, and ht« countenance changed ex ceedingly. The doctor appeared also to be agitat ed, and at once ordered everyone out of the room. When that was done, the door was locked on the inside. The landlady, being curious to know what was going on, listened at the door, but the conversation was carried on m a language which she did not understand; she, however, heard the patient exclaim in French, Assassin! assassin! ’ after which a violent altercation ensued. The Englishman appeared to threaten, and the doctor to supplicate him; the latter afterwards left the room, and went into the kitchen, where he pre pared Some medicine, which he ordered to be given to the patient several timea during the night. On the following day tbo stranger was much worse, | and feeling his end approachiug, he mode a sign tor fieiftink, and paper, and wrote a few words in English, which the landlady gave to the ftloyor of the commune, who, not understanding the lan guage, threw it aside into a drawer, where it was forgotten. The stranger died the 6ame evening. A few days since the Mayor, when called on to register the death of the doctor, who m his turn had paid i the debt of humauity, thought of this paper, and on his showing it to bis nephew, who understood the language, it was found that Dr. Phillippe was no other than the famous Patieson, a noted robber of the United States, all trace of whom had been long lost. The Englishman had recognised him as a mau who had, 20 years before, attempted to murder him, while travelling m the State of Ver mont, in America, The Mayor immediately pro ceeded to the house of Dr. Philippe to institute on inquiry- Hejfound that he had during his illness refused to be undressed, and had made the persons who attended him promise that he should, be buried in the clothes which he then wore. The Mayor, however,ordered the body to be undressed, wheu it was found that the doctor appeared stout, the hulk»being caused by bis wearing clothes wadued most thickly. His legs were also band aged up, and one ot his feet was round to be a very akilfully made artificial one. The body was covered with marks of wounds. In a dark closet there were found several chestsfastened with triple locks, und on these being forced open they were found to contain arms ot various kinds, watches, gold coins of all nations, and diamonds and jewels to a considerable value. Particulars of this dis covery have been transmitted to the government, and a copy sent to the authorities of the State of Vermont.” The Etfcctao Maosetic Locoaiomfi.— The Na tional IntoUigencer of Saturday mention* the fact that a preliminary trial ofProfi Pago’a electro mag. netic locomotive was made a.day or two bojoro, for the porpoao of testing the beat mode of attaching.the battery, which scorns to be n difficult point, owing to the jostling and oaolllations of the locomotive.
