riAttnientrna, August. 9, 1888.
The eomplete 81100088 of the At. Untie Telegraph
Company is the all-absorbing topic of conversation
in this city. Al! parties are rejoicing at the happy
manner in which the great enterprise has finally
terminated.
We had a grand regatta on the Susquehanna on
Saturday evening. It was the first of the season,
and we believe it is the first that has been held in
Harrisburg for many years. Ten or twelve boats
were entered for the amnion ; but the contest was
between three, viz :' The Bianca, Naiad and Flash.
The prize to be rowed for wag a very handsome
satin sash., At a given signal the boats started,
and it appeared evident to all that the Blame
would come in ahead. She soon distanced all the
other, boatt, but, unfortunately, when rounding
the pier of the Market-street bridge, she was disa
bled by the breaking of an ear. The boat was
then withdrawn from the contest, which was now
between the Haled and Plash. Both boats wore
admirably managed by their respeotive crows. For
a long while it was an oven race ; In sporting
phraseology, " each boat held its own ;" but
eventually the Flash was seen to be gaining, and
she came up to the place of starting about ten
yards ahead of the Naiad. The prize was imme
diately awarded to the glasb.
The regatta was witnessed by over two thousand
persons; the banks of the river, as well as the bridges
and housetops, were thronged with apeotators.
The beauty and fashion of the capital oily were out
"en moose." We wonder that the young men of
Harrisburg do not oftener engage in sports of this
kind; they have a river peculiarly adapted to row
ing, and yet there are only threegood boats on this
part of it. In feet, the Harriaburgers do not know
how to appreciate the advantages they enjoy over
most other olties.
Few places can present a more delightful pro
menade than the banks of the Sußuthann. The
scene Is ever fresh, ever delightful, to one who has
an eye for the beautiful of Nature. No frequenoy
of indulgence palls the appetite here; no change
of season diminishes the attraction. Whether the
stream murmurs round the projecting rook and
over masses of pebbles that mark its bed and are
visible in summer, or whether the current dashes
down in an impetuous torrent, fed by the melting
snows of the upper mountains, it is beautiful ;
beautiful in its simple exhibition ; beautiful in its
terrible grandeur. Whether the setting sun steeps
the current in liquid tremulous light, or the wild,
tempestuous blasts of January heap up the waters
la dark and chafing masses, all is beautiful.

the first being held at the old Assembly Buildings,

_nominated Mr. Thomas B. Bell for presiding

putting the question to the meeting or heeding
the yoloe of Mr. Moore, which rang loud above the

You know full well, air, that you have got into

who stand near yon are those only who have wished

was left for Bell, Rutter, and Alonaghan, and

While the committee were absent speeches wore
made by Mr. Hickman, Mr. P. Fraser Smith, Dr.

never seen a larger meeting. The enthusiasm
was great. When Mr. Hibshman ran rapidly

canary it was for our prosperity and oar union, he
was greeted with tremendous applause. it was

Dr. Worthington bad been a Democrat for thirty

laughed , to scorn the diatribes burled at anti-Lo-

solemness that he was right, and that, despite the
efforts' of place-seekers, the Democrats of good old
Chester were with singular unanimity opposed to
the effort made to trample principle and pledges
in the dust.
P. Frazer Smith, Esq ,made an effective speech.
He has always been a Democrat. He alluded in
strong terms to the tyrannical attack which had
been made upon the harmony of the Democratic
party of Chester county. While be regretted that
such men as had been factious in their behavior
today were willing to let it be known that they
oared neither for principle nor the integrity of
their party, yet ho was rejoiced to hear from all
the townships such glorious news of a fixed
determination to stand steadily to the
truth, and • its bold and able advocate, .who
was their Representative in Congress. [Long
continued cheering.] On repentance and confes

would forgive their erring brethren, although
they had put themselves out of . the pale of the

American eagle in charge, and soared with him '
far beyond the clouds. He put the noble bird

rather disturbed De usual equanimity. Mr. Moore

George W. Pearce, Esq., reported from the com
mittee on resolutions the following, which were
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, In conformity with a time honored
custom, the Democracy of Chester county have to
day met in general county
. meeting to reaffirm
their devotion to the principles on which their
political organization was founded more than
half a century since : Be it therefore,
Resolved. That the doctrine of Popular Sove
reignty, as recently applied with great distinot
nese to the Territories of the United States, is
only a reourrenoe to first principles, being clearly
enurrolated by Jefferson when he said that Govern
ments wore only legitimately instituted among
men when they derived their just powers from the
consent of the governed.
Resolved, That we believe that the people of
Territory, like those of a State, are fully capable
of selecting the institutions under which they aro
to live; and that when they have, by the fair ex
pression of the majority, chosen ouch institutions,
it is treason against their most sacred rights for
any power to interfere and attempt to force upon
them a system of laws, fundamental or otherwise,
that are repugnant and odious to them
Resolved, That in the main we approve of the
measures and policy of the present Administration
of the General Government; we accord to it our
thanks for the honorable interference to prevent
marauder from our own soil from annoying, with
unlawful expeditions, the Governments of Central
America; we approve of its prompt and decisive
foreign Tolley; we approve and applaud its suc
cessful efforts to put down the Mormon rebellion
in Utah ; but we aro forosd to disapprove, respeot
fully, but firmly and decidedly, the policy adopted

Nom D PLviiig
pledges made by the Demooratio party to the
people In 1858, when Mr. Buchanan was °looted to
the Presidency.
Resolved, That we are justly proud of William
P. Pinker, the present patriotic Governor of the
State of Pennsylvania. Kit exercise of the veto
power during thepaet winter is a full assurance to
our people that he will closely malaise the sots
of reckless and corrupt legislators, who have of
late years brought upon our State dishonor and
reproach. •
Resolved, That the able and fearless support
given by the lion. John Hickman to the Democra
tic dootrine of Popular Sovereignty, and thereby
carrying out the broad principles of Democratic
truth upon which the campaign o? 1850 was suc
cessfully conducted, meets with our cordial appro
val; and we regard such disinterested fidelity to
the rights of the people as a sure guarantee of
future eminence in tho ranks of the National De
mocracy.
Resolved, That the recent election in Kansas,
under the "English bill," shows most oonolusive
ly that the people of that Territory were largely
opposed to the Imoompton Constitution, and there
fore' those Democrats in Congress who steadily
voted against that instrument being famed upon
the °Mesas of Kansas were following Strictly in
the lino of that great principle lyiUg at the foun
dation of our Republic—to wit, giving to majori
ties the power to rule,
neselved, That the present tariff is inadequate
to defroy the expenses of Government, and we are
therefore in favor of its revision. In making such
revision we hold that the duties should be so ad
justed as to give ample protection to all the Indus
trial interests of our country.
I understand this morning that Mr. Bell is moll
chagrined that he should have by implication been
affiliated with the disorganizers at the county
meeting. It is certain that he refused to preside
over them in their corner, and that they broke
up under the Charge of another.
The spirit evinced yesterday, if anything were
wanting, proves conclusively that Mr. Hietnian's
reelection is out of the region of uncertainty. He
makes a great fight, and his triumph will be the
most signal rebuke to those who have treated with
contempt the popular Will in Kansas and in Ches
ter county. WO=

a proclamation from Maj. .Ino: R. Herd, setting
forth the merits of the "Warm Springs," located
Rome five miles north' of Huntingdon. As the
Major is an old friend of mine, I paid him a visit
last week, and I must confess that I never was
more agreeably disappointed in apiece in all my
life. Why, air, the elements of, a watering place
equal to Bedford are there, and, mark my words,
but a few years will Intervene before the Warm
Springs will be one of the most popular resorts
in Pennsylvania.
The medicinal properties of these Springs have
been known for years, an 'analysis of the waters
having been made as far back as 1810 by Dr."
Smith ; while the farm on which they are located
has been, under cultivation, in all probability, for
upwards of. three-fourtha of a century. Tomb
stones on the premises - show that people named
Green Were buried there in 1795-63 years 'ago.
The property is owned by General A. P. Wilson,
of Huntingdon. who, although he knew the vir
tues of the water, never entertained the idea of
opening the place as a summer resort, in op
position to long-established and well-known
places, until a year or two ago, when ho
found that a great many people from the
cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh sought re-.
taxation at the hotels along the line of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. Shoe then be has invested a
considerable amount of money in Improving the
grounds, and erecting a Grecian villa Major
Herd, a capital caterer, and most excellent land
lord In every respect, was Induced to try the ex
periment. The place was opened to the public in
Juno, and the result has been a triumph. The
house has been full all summer, and applicants had
often to be rejected for want of room. This defeat
will be remedied by next season, no the rush this
season has convinced General Wilson that the
Springs can be made a popular place. Ile will
forthwith proeeod to the erection of a large build
ing, capable of accommodating two hundred more
guests, together with the usual appliances of such
to place—billiard saloons, ton-pin alleys, ball-al
leys, swings, to., to. .The location is in Stone
Valley, at the base of a ridge, with a large moun
tain in front. Immediately in front of the house
there Is one of the finest sugar-maple groves I
ever saw.
There are fine springs on the premises, and, what
is remarkable, the water of cools differs in taste.
Ent that of the warm spring, which supplies the
bath house, maintains the temperature of sixty
eight degrees Fahrenheit, summer and winter, and
byany_ change atmosphere.. Bay
ing never seen the analysis, I cannot say what
composes the medicinal qualities of the water, but
it is evidently strongly impregnated with alkalis.
On first taking it, it is very disagreeable, as all
waters impregnated with the salts of the earth are,
but its continued use soon removes this objection.
For a bath, this water is far superior to anything
I over bathed in. Tho bicarbonate of soda, com
ing in contact with the oil on the surface of the
skin, forms the finest kind of a eon?, and the
head ,washed in it looks and feels precisely as
It had undergone shampooing.
To the man fond of oat-door reoreation, I can
only say that Stone Creek is full of the finest pike
and not a field in the neighborhood but has one or
two coveys of quail.
Hoping, Mr. Editor, that you will take an early
opportunity to test the merits of Major Ilerd's
larder, and enjoy the cool mountain breeze of
Warm Springs, l am J.
Ilownsysauaa, July 31, 1858.
The late Mrs. Richard Bland Lee.
We copy from the National fneelligenter the
following sketch of the life and character of this
venerable lady, whose recent death in the city of
Washington, on the 84th of Tuno, 1858, at the ad
vanced age of ninety yearn, has already boon no-
ticed in The Press :
The virtues and graces which, during a long life,
distinguished the oharaoter of the late Mrs. Eliza
both Leo, caused all who knew her to regard her as
the true exemplar of an American matron. There
were circumstances in her life which gave to it an
historical interest.
This beloved and lamented lady was the daugh
ter of the late Stephen Collins. one of the princi
pal citizens and merehants of Philadelphia during
the Revolution, and was born there on the Bth day
of February, in the year 1768. She received
from Nature a mind of great power, and from edu
cation all the advantages, useful and ornamental,
which during her girlhood were accessible to
young ladies in Philadelphia—a city which in so
cial refinement was then in advance of the other
colonial cities. While at school an Intimacy com
menced between herself and Miss Dolly Payne,
who afterwards became Mrs. Todd; and by a
second marriage, the consort of tho Illustrious
James Madison. This lath:alloy continued unin
terrupted and in all its original freshness, till the
death of Mrs. Madison.
In June, 1794, bliss Collins was married by
Biehon White to Richard Bland Lee, a Representa
tive from Virginia in the first Congress of the
United States, Philadelphia being then the seat of
the General Government. The political eminence
of The husband, and the high personal esteem in
which ho was held by Washington, •gave Mrs
Leo habitual access to the President's domestic)
circle. A singular aptitude for accurate observa
tion made her familiar with the characteristics
of the great thief in private life; and these
were indelibly imprinted on her memory, which
was singularly tenacious. In after years her
vivid pietures of them were a treasure on which
her friends and acquaintances wore ever eager to
draw. Had opportunity been afforded to some
Walter Scott of listening to her when relating
Incidents connected with the early years of the
Government, with the private life of the Father
of his Country, and with his own Revolutionary
rerainisconoos, the hearer might have been enabled
to impart to that portion of our annals a yet
livelier interest than Scottish history has derived
from narratives of contemporary events, which
the Wizard of the North received from Scottish
ladies, and to which the magic of his pen has given
immortal beauty.
The mutual sisterly affection between Mrs. Ma
dison and Mrs. Leo was undisturbed by the dif
ferent political opinions of their husbands on the
party questions which sprung up with the forma
tion of the Federal Government. In the family
intercourse which it led to, Mrs. Lee bad frequent
occasions for observing and appreciating the
domestic and social virtues of Mr. Madison—
an enduring theme on which she loved to
dwell—and also the friendship of Mrs. Hamilton,
the relict of Alexander Hamilton, whom she knew
and loved.
She survived many, very many, of her earlier
friends and companions, whose correspondence
with her she sacredly preserved and cherished.
hire. Madison, Mrs Hamilton, and their illustri
ous husbands, were among these ; - and in latter
days one enjoyed the friendship and solely of
Wm. H. Crawford, Chancellor DeSausseur, of
South Carolina; Senators Clay, Berrien, Webster,
and other eminent men,who all, while they lived,
admired and cherished her character and conver
sations.
Few, very few, have lived to suoh an ago, with
such memories end BO beloved, as this venerable
lady, whose life will be remembered for those
graces and virtues which gave to her death a se
rene, peaceful, and happy repose.
Mrs Lee left surviving her two BOW and two
daughters, viz : Major Richard Bland Leo, of the
United States army ; Judge Z. Collins Leo, of the
Maryland Judiciary ; Mrs. Ann Matilda Washing
ton, MLA of the late Dr. Bailey Washington,
surgeon in the United States navy; and Mrs Cor
nelia Moßae, wife of Dr. Mcßae, of Virginia.
Tun BETRAYER. AND ANENCIEIt.—We find
the following item in a late number of tho Review,
published in Cleveland : t' Ono day last week,
there passed down on the steamer Michigan a man
having in irons another who had some three years

the seducer ran away the day before. The brother
of the injured'womnn started in p'sreuit and caught
him at Erie, but by some means the rascal escaped.

he saw a paper published at Ripon, Wisconsin, in
which the name of the aeduoor appeared as editor.

Louie Republican vrTitep
The following petition wee forwarded to Presi
dent Buchanan by the inhabitants of Utah, last
week, for the removal of certain , otßaere who seem
to be obnoxious to them. The petition ought to be
granted :
To his Ezeelliney, James Buchanan, .Presi
dent of the United States:
Whereas, For reasons herewith assigned, .the
following United States officers for the Territory
of Utah, to wit: Chief Justise Eokles, Postmat•
ter !Sorrell, and Indian Agents Hurt and Craig,
have rendered themselves obnoxious to thecitizens
of the United States and residents in the Territory
of utak, respectfully ask your ExcelienoY to rt.
move the aforesaid oftloeis. ' - •
The reasons presented by your petitioners are as
follows: Chief Justice Eokles, while yet on rotas
to this Territory, expressed himself in most
vindictive and pre judloed terms against the people
of the Territory. Contrary to law, and the es
tablished principles-of constitutional..,instioe he
summoned a Grand Jury of the attaches andfol
lowers of the arusy, and before them did•liniself
camps testimony to be presented, and .indietmenis
found (for moat serious offences) against numerous
oitlienS of the United States, residents of the Ter
ritory. He has himself note d as judge ; prosecutor,
and clerk of his own court, and has ever, during
his residence in the Territory; used not only his
personal butjudiolal influence to provoke a colli
sion and disturbances between the people of the
Territory and the Federal Government. Though
often invited, and assurances of safety and protec
tion given, be has refused to come into our settle
ments or separate himself from the army up to this
time.
' Mr. Morrell has, by published statements, slan
dered the people thoTerritory. He is not, nor
ever was, a resident of Great Galt 'Lake City, and
hence, according to the laws of the.Hnited States,
is not competent to till the appointment.
Agent Hurt, within the knowledge of your Ex
cellency, according to °facial reports recently for
warded by Governor Cumming, has made and
published false reports of the most 80110178 charac
ter, charging the peoplanf Aids Territory with
horning the public library and the United Staten
Court records, threatening Federal *Moors with
assassination, rebellion 'arlinitt the Constitution
,and laws of the United States, tampering with
the Indian tribes to the overthrow of the Govern
ment, together with other grave accusations, all
equally false and unfounded.
Agent Craig is a man of gross immoral practices,
and in every way incompetent to discharge the du
ties of his o ff ice. ~- • ,
GREAT BALT ,L4u CITY, Utah Territory, Fri
day, June 25, 1858.--The S, Louis... Democrat of
Saturday has the Following account of Con. Har
ney's " talk" with thelndians:
General „Harney, accompanied: by his aid-do
om*, Captain Pleasanton, and by Dr. Wright, ar—
rived in St: Louis yesterday afternoon, on the
steamer Ben Lewis. Major Buell, Assistant Adju
tant-General, took the ears at Jefferson City, but
hardly got in before the General. '
Our special correspondent, Mr. soy, who ao
oompanied headquarters for the purpose of far
nishing the readers of the 'Democrat with authen
tierammunts of the anticipated "Mennen war,"
also came down on the Ben Lewis: - ; •
Pother De Amet,•ohaplain to the Utah forces, re
turned to Leavenworth, whence he has set out for
a short.visit to the Pottowattomie mission. Be
will reach St. Louis in the course of the ensuing
week. .
On the 18th nit: General Harney had a " talk"
with the Cheyennes at Cotton "Wood 7 Spring:
About noon on that day a delegation of twenty of
thim arrived in the camp. •The General had sent
Captain Pleasanton on a kind of embassy to them
ten days previously. The captain was accompa
nied by a guide, and by the Good Bear, a Chey
enne chief, whb had presented himself to the Ge
neral,' at the village of the Ogalelias, with over
tures of. peace. When Good Bear had left his
people to go on the .mission to the General, they
were encamped on the Republican Fork—a tribu
tary of the Kansas. Before the arrival of Captain
Pleasanton among them they,bad gone elsewhere.
The General bad agreed to wait only ten days, so
Captain Pleasanton, under the direction of, the
guide, altered.his course for Cotton Wood Spring—
tho appointed plane of , rendezvous,while -Good
Bear Mowed the trail'Of his tribe.
On the tenth
day the captain and the guide got into the camp,
as well as the Cheyennes, but at a later hour.
Ten days was the term which General Harney
had agreed to wait for the Cheyennes, and on the
tenth day they made their appearance,
having
travelled desperately to keep the .appointment.
They have the reputation of being the bravest
tribe this side of the mountains, and the appear
anoe and bearing of the delegation did not belle
the reputation. The " talk" was conducted
the same stile, and with the same etiquette, as tho
talk with °gelatins. They came up, one by one, in
.1 1 . manly manner, each 'shaking bands with the
General, who sa t the shade of a tree, and those
whites who were with him. They seated them
selves in to circle, and proceeded to lighttheir
pipes. The orator of the occasion was as faithful
to the rules of his art as if.he had studied in tho
sohool. lie commenced by Baying that the fame
of General Harney as a great chief was known to
them, and that they were all exceedingly glad to
see him. The substance of the discourse was that
they were desirous of being at peace with the
whites, that the success of, the mission of Great
Bear brought happiness and peace of mind to the
whole tribe ; that they were also desirous of being
at peace with the other Indian' tribes, but that the
Pawnees wore always robbing them.
General Barney's counsel to them was judicious
and humane. He reminded them of their outra
ges upon the whites, but told them that if hence
forth they acted right, he would ask the Great
Father at Washington to forgive them. Ile had
not come to make a treaty with them, He his busi
ness was to chastise white children of the Great
Father who had been acting badly, but that these
white children, knowing the power that was ar
rayed against them, had submitted. The Gone
rersaim was to impress them with the Idea that
if they transgressed, therpould not escape pun
ishment, and that they would receive justice if
whites committed any outrages upon them. He
promised to be their friend if their conduct con
tinued good, but that otherwise they would find
him a devil."
In the progress of the talk it was learned that
a war party had gone out against the Pawnees
before the return of Good Boar, and this the
waft/ors present regretted, as the counsel of
their Grandfather (so they call General Harney)
inolined them to peace, with Indians as well as
whites.
The talk was protracted for a considerable time,
or rather there were two talks—one on their ar
rival and the other in the evening, the latter the
most important. They were treated hospitably,
and, In addition to bread and meat, get weak grog
to drink and tobacco to smoke; but the condition
of the commissariat and the circumstances of the
meeting did not warrant the giving them of any
presents. From what transpired, it is oer:ain that
they will not molest the whites this year, at least,
and that they have a salutary dread of General
Barney. It was noticed that the old chiefs laid
the blame of past matters upon the " young men,"
just as Brigham Young and the apologists of Kan
sas rasoalities lay the blame of all misdeeds upon
the " boys."
General Barney had a talk with the Pawnees
also. He lectured them severely about their
thieving, but they defended themselves by accusing
the Cheyennes and Sioux of various murders and
robborlee. He also advised them not to retaliate
upon the Cheyennes, as the latter were disposed
to make pease. Their knitted brows and unbroken
silence gave evidence that they did not much
relish this adviee t but yet in their reply they
promised to remain quiet, although the perfidy
and blood-thirstiness of the Cheyennes was the
topic upon which they most elaborately dwelt.
One of them, who had been at Washington,
and who displayed the medals which he
bad received there, urged, with great skill,
the atrocious nature of the insults given to the
whites by the Cheyennes, in spilling blood under
the walls of the fort. Indeed, General Harney
himself thought the Cheyennes should have been
prevented from attacking the Pawnees or any other
nation within eight of the flag staff, and Col. May,
who Is now in command at Fort Kearney, promised
that if the Cheyepnes should venture again to
make war near the fort, ho would chastise them.
The talk with the Pawnees was the most formal
and impressive of the three, and all the ohlefs,
without exception, gave manifestations of the
weight which the enerar &cleanse! had with_ them,
and of the fear with whit& they regard him.
— Horrible Confession of a Pirate.
[Prom the Boston Traveller.]
Peter Williams, under &intone° of death, at
Auburn, uie., with a colored man, named Abra
ham Cox. for the murder, at sea,
of tho captain,
two mates, and one man, of the brig Albion Coo
per, of Portland, has made a confession, which is
printed in the Lewiston Falls Journal. Williams
represents that he was born in Ostend, Belgium,
in 1830, his father' being a sailor ; he ran away
from school, and never learned to read. Be. first
went to sea when nine years of age, and has served
OD shipboard in all parts of the world ever almo—
st one time on a German man-of-war,
and then
again in the employ of the East India Company,
acting as captain of the main top in one of their
vessels. In July,lBsT,he became acquainted with
an Irishman, named Thomas Fahey, and both
wont to Portland, and, shipped in the Albion
Cooper. The brig, soon after leaving port, was
found to be leaky. The second mate is stated to
have treated both Williams and Cox, the negro,
with great barbarity, and finally Williams stabbed
bins, for which he was placed in Irons. After•
wards, the mate called him into his room, drove
a nail into a beam, and hung him up by the
beam, the forward part of his Teat just touching
the floor. He was in great pain, and fi na lly
fainted. Finally, Cox broached the project of a
murder of the captain and orew, and supplied some
knives and razors, which Williams fastened t o
sticks. The Irishman, Fahey, was a l one taken
into their confidence. They first killed Captain
Humphrey, who was asleep_ on the dealt, with
two blows on the bead with a hatchet. His
n ee d partially turned, but he died without a
struggle. He then went behind the second
mate and struck him in the bead with a
hatchet. His cries brought out the first mate,
who was also struck in the head. He re
treated to the oabin, where he bad a hard strug
gle with his murderers, but was finally despatched.
As he earns out Williams met the eeoond mate,
whom he had left for Cox, and finished him with a
few blows of the hatchet. The last murder was of
a seaman named Burns or Davis. They put Iron

COTTON SEED OIL.—A GREAT DISCOVERY.—
The manufacture of oil from cotton seed has been
carried on to some extent for several years, but
the process of clarifying the oil so as to lit it for
illuminating or lubricating purposes has attracted
the attention of those skilled in chemistry for a
long time, but all attempts have failed up to
within the last few months. The Cincinnati Price
Current, however, says: .
Mr. Davies, of this city, has, we have no doubt,
at length solved the problem. A sample of this
oil prepared by him has been in our possession tho
past week, and we having tested its illuminating
properties thoroughly, feel no hesitation in saying
that it gives a light far clearer and brighter than
lard oil; does not crust or gum the wiok, and 39
freer than any other oil from any disagreeable
odor while burning. We regard Mr. Davies' dis
covery a most important one, tlie value of whiolt
cannot be well estimated in dollars or canto. Wa
learn the process is at once cheap and simple,
increasing the omit but a trifle, as the article,
when clarified, is sold at 90 cents per gallon. It
will remain liquid at as low a temperature es tlt9
boat arm.
