Along whom 'Wits Beck—having finished drink ing and.after sitting - some time, Smith asked de ceased to go home, which he refused, alledging that he was afraid of Gunder, that he (Gunder) had made threats in the Mine : 44o4. A short _time after, ascuffie took place between- Smith and Gunder in which they -all joined; during the con , fusion they worked themselves out of doors be fore the house. Beck got a piece Of, timber with which he struck first at witness—witness dodged his, bead, and the blow struck him on the arm and shoulder thereby dis - apling hint for a week. A short time after, Walter and Gunder had hold of each other. Walter stood with' his back to wards Beck—Beck raised his club,and struck de ceased on thtshoulder, repeating his blow he struck him on the ilea, mid Walter letting go his hold fell backwards. B l ock again struck him directly across the scull. , Walter laid upon his back quietly With his arms stretel out. d After a long and tedious eil) t s examination Which only went to substantiate L the above facts, this witness was discharged. Christian Garet: sworn.—(ln substance near- ' ly the same as the former witness.) "Smith said to some of them 'let us go home' or <you go home,' . -Gunder got up and walked towards Smith and ; they got hold t f each other by the collar—push ed one another 'forward and back—and Smith fell dot - in—as he fell Gunder pretended to strike— " Hertzog went between them and tried I to keep ' them apart—Mrs. Barlow said "let them go eut;" or, "if they want to fight, put them out " Kept hold ,of each other; dud I think Peter Beck had hold - of them ten—liertzeg, Smith, and Gunder— they tumbled in a heap—Then I did'nt see Beck any more with thenf—Walter walked close after them, that is, Smith; Gunder and Hertzeg.— i I walked out behind Walter. When we came •st. l out, Asa Balliot was close behind me—ho shut the door and came around the other " door, I think.' Just as these men laid there, Walter steed at the side of , the - door with me—l stood partly in the door—we were looking at them. Walter looked' down between! them and he saw . that Gunder had a knife—. hold on " ssi&he, (Witter) .t Gunder has a knife to strike wits, he --, shan't strike with the knife."

All who visited the Camp, unite in de scribing it is a brilliant and'striking affair. ' The volunteers of Columbia comity,. deserve much praise for their exertions in perfecting the arrange ments, as well as for the military spirit which dis tingtrished the whole undertaking. The encamp ment' lasted four days, two of which, were un pleasant, the weather being cold and wet. Gen eral &oil arrived on Wednesday, and upon tip preaching the tow& was met by the troops and es coried to his quarters. On Thursday the grand review took .place upon the parade ground. Vol unteers from Lycoming, Union, and Northumber berland were present. The parade exceeded the anticipalions of many. And it - is said was the tar; gest display of volunteeis ever made in the North ern part of -this state. The companies upon the giound all mustered strong, we understand that the smallest company numbered 43 men', and that the cavalry present Were a well drilled and fine looking body of men. We are- pleased to see this spirit of emulation existing in rur different volunteer corps. It is a guarantee to the country's safety. Much abused as the system ii, it is nevertheless evident to eve ry thinking man, that in case of a foreign attack, the country (from the first Campaign at least, ) would be forced to depend apon its citivn soldiery. • i Art& militia, though they are, we feel convinced, that tie volunteers of the present day are nothing destitute of the chivalrous spirit that reigned in '76. =1 Rita 'PLi.x,-L-Gur neighbors of the Reading Gazette are working themselves into a truly awful fit of the sympathies ; and the nett advices from that city ho doubt bring us the particulate of some horrid catastrophe in the editorial world. Really, Gentlemen! such conduct is very unnise, —clap a stopper on your feelings; and do not let them boil over in such an extravagant manner; think of the fraternity and smother your sighs. Who would suppose, that a slight importation from our great storehouse of beauty, would so stir up your harts and capsize your intellects, as to in duce yob to misunderstand the plain, lucid, and comprehensive language of the Miners' Journal ? When we spoke of our scenery being worth more than the fare, who would hare • discovered any ..wont of allegiance to thiilorelier set, but he whose braitiwai addled by their fascinations? Down with e such a thought! such' railing is unfair to say the least of it. We have always been the champion of the ladies—God bless em ; and al ways intend to be. And so Messrs. Editors of the Gazette we might invite you 'to takea closer peep into our magical amens, were it not that we think your di3positions entirely too iniitimahle and that we are opposed to spontaneous combustion in . our region. We pity your infirmity and can of fer you but one remedy. Should the o fair etch ers" again try their skill upon your too suscepti ble hearts, Nab them if you can, or keep your to yourselves. LAMM MEETING.-A large and respectable meeting of the citizens'of Philadelphia was con vened in the State House yard, fur the purpose of lakinj measures against the evil economy and spirit tit favoritism shown towards other parts to the e . trclusion of Philadelphia in regard to the Na; vy 'regulations, and also the countermanded launch of the Raritan. Mr. Geo. M. Dallas was called to the chair, assisted by- nine Vice Presidents and three Secretaries. A number s cif excellent resolu tions were passed, expressive of the sense in which the citizens received this' partiality. At the close of the meeting a committee of six gentleman were appointed_ to f rocsed to Washington and there make knowir to tho Presidint, Secretary of the -1X sy —Navy Commissioners and their represen tatives in Congress, the proceedings of the meet ing and the claims of that station. The parsimony, heretotife — extended towards the Philadelphia Navy Yard by the Government, has been of the most marked and contracted nature. The appropriations unifoimly insufficient, and ves sels building there have been allowed (through this species of economy) to go to ruin from a culpable neglect of the wants of the station. NEW YORK CONTESTED ELECTION.—n, is well known to many of our readers that the May or of New York, Mr. Morris, refused to adminis ter the oath'of office to the two whig members of the Common Council who was elected in the sixth ward and whose election was contested. The case was taken to the Supreme Court, which pro claimed the above gentleman duly elected and is sued a mandamus against the Mayor,-directing hiin to swear them in. 'Mr. Morris has since re fused to comply with the decission of . the Court and takes an appeal to the'Court of Errors. The Judges, both of the Supreme Court and Court of Errors are Vanl Buren men. Much excitement is felt by both parties on this question, as the con firmation of this election has given the Whigs an ascendancy in the Common Council. . The Council have since been sworn in by the Recorder aid have assumed their respective du ties. Room Ist.vvo.—Lettets from Providence state that the Insurgent party are making great efforts to re-establish their faction, and that Dorr, although under the protection of the Governor of Connec ticut, is in communication with the leaders of his party in thot city. Meetings have been held and large amounts of money raised. We hope, how ever, that their infatuation will not lead them into any farther overt acts. For the course of-Gover nor King, hitherto, proves that he will act deci sively and promptly, should such an occasion call his energies forth. Military companies are form ing throughout all the State, by advice of the Go vernor, end the people evince a determination to resist these pretended champions of their rights, should their folly again lead them into any open attempts. EXPLOSION OP TOE STEAMBOAT DOUGLAS -It grioves u■ to record another horrible Steam boat disaster which has resulted in the death and injury of a great number of persons. On the re turn of the Douglass from New Orleans and a bout one hundred and twenty miles below the mouth of the Ohio, the steam-pipe which connects the boilers with tbe cylinder exploded, killing anti wounding a number of the passengers. All the occupants of the ladies cabin with, the exception of a little girl were either killed or dangerously scalded. The Steward, who was lying on the floor was blown into the ladies cabin and died in. stonily. ,1 VI EV47 or Po-r-rsviza.e.—The proof ensraving of Mr. Benade's view of our borough, has been handed to us for opr inspection. It is a faithful well executed pictlre, and is, in every way cre ditable, both to the Lithographer and Artisthim self. We will receive the finished platei in the course of a week. , In the mean time, those who desire it can have an opportunity of seeing the print by calling at our office. ..1400YOUT.—We understand that several ladier have been grossly insulted in our streets after nightfall by soma scoundrel, who have not yet been detected.

The rioters collected in such numbers and the alarm was so grdat that it was foundmeeessary to call out quite a larg,n"force of military to hold them in check. The different scenes of disorder were Stonrbridge, Dudley, Rowley Regis, Cradley and Netherton, and tho difficulty in the milting "districts occurred at Ho warden, North Wales. • Russis.—rAccording to an extract from the :London Sun' of May 6th, 'we have information that the Autocrat is struggling with the nobles of the land upon tho question of th; serf emancipa tion. He finds much oppositiu to his project, but the impression is that he will persevere Until he has acccomplished his end. Fur once, his course is a proper one, although themotiveissany thing but a philanthropic one—it being simply to diminish the power of the nobles, which power is always graded by the number of their serfs, and as long as the system of suffrage exists in Russia, so long does Nicholas reign only by the sufferance of the nobles. FAANCE.—No news of much importance from As kingdoim The ParisSoarnaLs state that Mr Dufaure, the reporter of the rail road commission, laid his projected bill upon the table of the Cham ber of Deputies. It Provides that the State shall establish lines of railroad-1. From Paris to the Belgian frontier, by Amiens, Arras, Lille and Valenciennes; 2. From Paris to a point of the channel not yet determined; 3. To the German frontier, by Strasburg ; 4. To the Mediterranean by Lyons, Acignon, Tarascon, and Marseille;; 5. To the Spanish frontier, by Bordeaux and Bay one ; 6. To the ocean, by Tours and Nantes ; 7. To the centre of France, by Orleans, Vierzon, and Clermont; S. A line from the Rhine to the Mediterranean, by Mulhausen, Dijon, Chalons, and Lyons. AFFGIIANisTAN.—Tho intelligence from this seat of war consists chit fly of details concerning events previously known in general terms, and by corretdons or denials of former accounts. The disasters appear now to be ascribed more to mis• conduct on the. part of the Anglo Indian knees than to the prowess of the Affghans, or even to the difficulties of the country and the season. departure of Lord Auckland has taken place. VaJiolle_ 'addresses, •proving how much his - Lordship was,appreciated at Calcutta, were presented to him. Lord Ellenborough, who reached Calcutta on the 28th of Fehrunry, has infused new spirit into the preparations for the re inforcements to China, by his going on board to examine the transports. The disturbances caused by the mutiny of the Madras Scpuys lase terminated, and all is tran quil in those districts. There are symptoms of confusion being likely to break out at °ode, where the old King is act ing the oppressor, at the instigation of a crafty minister. - In the small state of Judpore there has been some alarm created, but it is not likely to produce any important results. Binsisn.—Tharawaddie having left Rangoon all is quiet' there. lie proceeded to Tharawa, where the Court stripped some time, and he order dered sixty of those who had accompanied him to Rangoon, but whom he convicted of robbery, to be beheaded. ManniTtus.—Sir Lionel Smith died there on the 3J of January. He was succeeded in the Go vernment by Cal. W. Stavely. Lsdy Smith sur vived her husband only three days. A Ssamos.—There is something inspiring and unusually delightful in an excursion upon the water. We, who are debarred from any exten sive enjoyment ,of such delights, feel - the truth more peculiarly than others, and yet we can sym pathize in their feeling and go with them, in im agination through all the enchanting vistas of fun and frolic. A few days since a party tripped by our office in all the joyfulness of anticipation for the purpose of taking a sea voyage on the Schuylkill. • We almost envied them the pleasure they expected ; and are certain, that we wished them more extensive scope for their enjoyment than nature has allotted to this portion of the uni verse: Editors are moralists; and moralists turn every slight occunence so completely inside out, that they see a great deal which to others would appear hidden. There is much, then, in the ex citement, variety, and change, of a boat party like this, to remind us of human existence. • So, by analogy, every "occurrence, no matter how tri fling, may teach us a good moral lesson. And now for the simile. The party step in the boat full of hope and buoyancy—the rowers seize their oars and take their seats—the word is given and off glides the frail vessel on her exciting course. Then comes the tedious recital of trials and trou bles a ith occasional glimpses of pleasure—sure hands and rubbed knuckles, to the inexperienced oarsman—frequent frights and sudden shrieks from the half terrified freight—now, an anxiety to reach the end of the voyage—then a hope that the goal is far distant—a luckless animal sliding his 'oar in edgewise .catches a crab" as sailors tiay, and, heels in the air, brings his bump of yen- Airation in rather loving contact with the lining of the boat. All these are emblematical of the great er evils arid vicissitudes incident to our journey through life ; let our readers make the applica tion. RIOT IN Nsw Oacessrs.—The New Orleans papers contain the particulars of quite a disgrace ful riot in that city on tho 2lat inst., occasioned by the sudden "depreciation of , municipality notes. During the confusion several brukcis offices were entered forcibly and robbed of large amounts both in silver and gold. The police and military turn ed out end soon succeeded in quelling the distur bance and arresting some of the ringleaders. Ac cording to the latest accounts every thing remain ed quiet. Lasiiosen.—lt is reported that an expedition is now fitting out in Mobile and New Orleans with the avowed end open purpose of - attacking and re ducing the Meiican port, Matamoros. If this is true wo conceive it to be a very unjust and im proper procedure ; as, according to the last advi ces from Mexico our Minister has beep teceived kindly and courteously and the most friendly re lations are at present existing (diplomatically) be tween the two governments. Arrsarorsn Assassmanov.—Mr. Pettrich, an artist of some celebrity in Washington was at tacked during the past week near the Treasury Buildings, by two indfviduals with the intention undoubtedly of commitiing murder upon him. In the course of the scuffle he received two severe wounds supposed to have been from a sword 'cane, and succeeded in wounding one of the assassins.

His own modesty may suggest to him that ho is a new member, and that he should, therefore. rather follow, than attempt to lead. But he is no more a new member of the House, than Mr. Crittenden is of the Senate.

And, with what feeling of pride must every good citizen now say, that Lancaster at this prevent moment presents the singular anomaly of but one or two distilleries in operation, and are doing very little indeed, as we wets tnformed by ono of the proprietors the other day, that it was scarcely worth while to beat the furnaces of a still house." EARTFIGUILEE IN LOUISTANAL.—The St. Mar tinsville Creole states that " on Saturday last, the 7th instant, at about three o'clock, P. M., an earthquake, which lasted two or three seconds, was felt in this parish. A respectable inhabitant of Catahonlou, who was angling at that time, in com pany with some ladies, on the banks of the lake, told us that as soon as the shock mulch, they were all struck by a kind of giddiness, and that one of the ladies fell down in a swoon. He also assur red us that the lake rose, during the space of some minutes; to more than al; feet. Several inhabi tants along the banksS of Bayou Teche affirm the unaccountable elevation of that river at about the same time. 4 E IttnnA.TlONl.—linder date of Qiipbee, May 14, the following statement is published : Number of Emigrants arrived at this port dur ing the week ending this date : From England, From Ireland, From Scotland, 606 To corresponding period last year, 42.

A SLAVE RESCVEIi.—The New York papers mention the circumstances attending the rescue of a slave, which had created considerable excitement among n portion of the population. According to the Journal of Commerce, Mrs. Terentia Burke of New Orleans, recently arrived in New york, with her brother, Mr. Matthew Morgan, with a female slave named Julia Green, and took up her rest. Bence at Na. 712 Broadway. Some of the ab•di tionists sued out a writ of habeas corpus, on Sat urday, citing Mrs. Burke to bring the.slave before Judge Oakley, on Monday, and she was brought aczordingly. After a partial hearing, the case was'adjourned over to Tuesday, end Mr. Morgan set out with the slave to candult her bark to her mistress. He had hardly left the City Hall, when they were surrounded by a large mob of whits and colored abolitionists, who succeeded is rescitine the slave, whom they conducted to a house in Church street, between Anthony and Leonard airgets. Officers were sent from the Police Oillett to recover the slave, hut they were resisted, and Mr. Morgan assaulted, and on searching the house the slave could not, be found. A colored mitt named James Hudson was, however, arrested, who being identified by Mr. Morgan as one of the ring leathers in the rescue, and also as one who had as. saulted him, he was committed to prison to answer. It is stated that nearly or quite a thousand per sons of all col ors were in the mob in Church street, at the time of the resistance of the officers and the assault on Yr. Morgan.

It was de cidedly mote Democratic than the New York Constitution of 1821, which Mr. Van Buren aid ed to form. This Constitution was formed and voted for by those whom the New Era stigmatizes as above, and voted down by the partisans of Darr and Slamm in solid column. And these men oho defeated it now turn rouhd and assert that the very men whose popular Constitution they defeated are opposed lo any Constilutiwz and any Right of Suffrage except for Landhold ers.
