ilexico—'rne Monroe Doctrine.
gb the Editor of The Press:
am: Those busy men, the Blairs, are seeking
-notoriety by pressing the Monroe Doctrine
vpo
n public attention, as though it was in
their special charge. lam a 'believer in that
doctrine, and hope the Administration will
maintain it.
Many discreet, men think it may involve us
in a European war. That is possible ; and our
Government, in view of seen apossibility,
should provide for it—but bow? This I have
not seen clearly, until in reading the very
able speech of Hon. William D. Kelley, of
January 16th, I found the following practical
and Statesmanlike saggestionS. Will you not
lay them before your readers in this connec
tion
And mark you, kr. Speaker, agnin,how near.
ly the races are balanced in Louisiana, Georgia,
and Alabama, In Louisiana there are 357,456
whites, and 350,516 colored people. Of whites,
Gleorgia, there are 591,550, and, of colore
p e ople, - there are 40,736. In Alabama the
. - whites number 5;26,271, while there are, of
colored, 437,930. And, in Florida, there is the
fame near approach to eqnality of numbers ;
Tile white population being 77,747, and the
colored. 62,677. Are these people, by our de
cree, to remain dumb and voiceless in free
dom I They are no longer slaves. War and
the high prerogative of the President called
into exercise by the war, have made
them - free. Will you inflict , upon them all
"the miseries predicted for - the free colored peo
-lilt of Tennessee in the extract which I have
read to you I No ,• rather let us bled them to
our Government by enabling them to protect
their interests, share its power, and appreci
ate its beneficence. This we can do; and the
alternative is to so degrade them that they
- will prove an annoyance and an object of dis
trust to their white neighbors, an element of
- .weakness to the Government, and a constant
_invitation to diplomatic intrigue and war by
the ambitious man who dreams ota Latin Em
pire in. America, and who, following the ex
ample of the States of Central and South Ame
rica, will accept the descendant of Africa as a
:Basque and a citizen of his proposed Empire.
And Iliac it may not be amiss to pause for a
Suoinenirand contemplate some ulterior con
.seqnenees of our action on this subject.
Trained in the school of democracy, lam a
believer in the "manifest ilestinja 7 of my
country. Having regarded the acquisition by
• Dlr. Jefferson of the Louisiana Territory as
wise and beneficent, though unwarranted by
the Constitution, beholding great advantages
M the acquisition of Florida., and having be
lieved that, without war, could we have pa
tiently waited, Texas would have come to us
liaturally as a Mate or States of the Union, I
am used to dreaming of the just influence the
'United States are to exercise, from end to end.
of the American continent. Among the
most ephemeral products of our era will
he the Franco-Austrian Empire in Mexico,
if - we be but true to our own principles in
this season of doubt and perplexity'.
Our infidelity to principles alone can give it
perpetuity. Within its limits, the question of
color is not apolitical or asocial question ; it is
- purely one of taste. There, as in Central and
South America, the colored man is a freeman;
and we are to determine whether the sympa
thies of these millions of people within our own
borders are to be with the Government whose
.eupreillaey they have aided in re-establish
ing, or with the and ambitious man who
pledge them citizenship on condition that
they aid him in carrying the limits of his Latin
empire to the northern boundary of the Gulf
Stal es of America. To them the United States
or Mexico will be the exemplar nation of the
world. Before her ruder laws all men are equal.
let ours be not less broad and just.
The tropical and malarious regions of Cen
tral America hare, during the prevalence of
slavery, seemed to be the natural geographical
boundary of our influence in that direction.
Tropical regions are not the home of the white
man. They were not made for him. God did
not adapt him to them. They are prolific in
-wealth, invite to commercial intercourse,
yield many tlii ngs
necessary to the success of
our arts and lialustry,and will one day afford a
market for immense masses of our produc
tions; but we cannot occupy them ; we cannot
develop their resources ; nor can the negro, in
the ignorance and degradation to which we
- have hitherto doomed him. We have at length
made hint a soldier; and, if need be, be will
carry our arms and our Hag triumphantly over
that, to us, pestilential region ; and, if we make
liim a citizen open to his Children the school
house ; gi ve h im the privilege of the work-shop,
the studio, the hall of science • admit him to
the delights and inspirations oeliteratime, phi
losophy, poetry—in brief, if we recognize him
as a man, and open to him the broad fields of
American enterprise and culture, he will see
that nature has given him the monopoly of the
- wealth of that region, and will blvss the world
by making hituself the master of it. By this
means, and this alone can we extend our in
thience over that region and prepare for the
ultimate Americanization of those drained by
the Orinoco, the Amazon, and the Parana.
As a citizen, nature will prompt the colored
man to achieve - these grand results ; but if we
leave the race a disfranchised and disaffected
class in our midst, numbering millions, and
embracing hundreds of thousands of men,'
ho, in pursuit of freedom, have bared their
breasts to the storm of battle, and who are no
longer debarred by statute from access to the
sources of thought and knowledge, they will,
let me reiterate the fact, be a ready and power
ful ally to any power that may be disposed to
disturb our peace, and that will promise them
the enjoyment of the rights of men as accorded
to every citizen by its Government.
THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
PROGRESS OF THE. CANVASS-THE NAMES OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEES
The election in Kentucky for State Tree-
Surer, members of Congress, and the Legisla,
tare is to take place on lkfmaday, the 7th of
August. The canvass on both sides has been
so earnest, and the issues involved so great,
that considerable interest is felt throughout
the country as to the result. On that day Ken
tucky will decide whether she will stand for
Freedom or for Slavery. It will be remem
bered that the Kentucky LegiOatinre, at its
last session, rejected the constitutional amend:
ment. The true Union men of the State,
not daunted by this Legislative bowing to the
44 sum of all villainies,. determined to make the
forthcoming election the test by which Ken-
Ilickrs true position shall be evident to the
'world. They nominated candidates pledged to
Support the amendment, and inaugurated a
canvass which for earnestness and straig,htfor_
werdness has never been excelled in the State.
We arc glad to learn by late advices from the
State, that the sanguine anticipations enter
tained by the Union men are likely to be
realized. The issues involved were clear
ly and distinctly drawn, and both parties
bad their greatest speakers on the stump. On
the Union side were Governor Dramlette, ex-
Governor Magofen, George D. Prentice, Gen.
Rousseau, Gen. Logan, General Palmer ' (Com
'mantling the Military department of the State,)
Representative Kasson, of lowa, and Several
other distinguished gentlemen. They were
ably supported by the Louisville Journal and
other newspapers in the interior. The people
are thoroughly alive to the contest, as the
belief has become almost general throughout
the State that, no matter whether the amend
ment is adopted or not, slavery is dead there
and the sooner they acknowledge the fact the
better it will be for them. The exodus of
slaves from the State, within the last few
months, has been very great indeed, and if
the came Slieldd COntialle for any length of
time, the State will, in a very little white,
have fewer slaves than Delaware. The fol

Tike Connecticut Murder—Confession of
the Murderer.
The Hartford Times of the 3cl says that Alfred
Starkweather has confessed the murder of his
mother and sister at Manchester: "The con
fession, which was not unexpected by those
- best informed of the facts, was made by the
prisoner in the jail in Hartford, to Mr. James
Campbell, of Manchester, the father of the girl
to whom the prisoner was engaged to be mar
ried. The chief of police, believing that he
- would acknowledge more to Campbell than to
-anybody else, requested the latter to go to the
jail yesterday afternoon, where the wretched
young Than, discarding all his previous lies
and contrivances to avoid detection, made a
clean breast of it, and confessed the awful
,crime.
"Ile acknowledged, after some questioning,
- that he had butchered his mother, and then
his sister, with the axe; and then, to make
certain of the fiendish job, he had repeatedly
plunged his butcher-knife into their throats
-and • bosorias ; winding 11 1 , the deed of horror
by setting the bed on nre, and then his own
cloWn stairs.
"' I did it,' be said ; I did it, Mr. Campbell,
outs of love for your daughter, and nothing
else. I felt I must have that money; for with
out it she wouldn't marry me ; and I got the
money. ,
" A letter written by the murderer to Mr.
-Campbell, - filled nearly four pages, and the,
statement was made that the writer was now
in a condition to marry Miss C., as he had
succeeded, through forgery, in getting money
to the amount or four thousand dollars; and
it also said that he was about to Coniunt an
atrocious —; leaving the intended crime
unnamed. The forgeries alluded to are be
lieved to have never been committed, and his
counsel will claim this letter as proof of the
prisoner's insanity; though it may have been
written to deceive the girl's father into the
belief that the prisoner bad money enough. to
_get married with.
"Starkweather told the police, during the
examination following the murder, that he
had pm-chased his mother's interest, for one
thousand five hundred dollars, in the farm
lhat lie had got a deed of the property, which
conveyed it to Miss Campbell, and that on
Ilwir 'marriage it was to be recorded. lie also
stated thathe had made a bill of sale of all his
stoek—horses and cows—to Miss Campbell's
father, and that this, together with the deed
of the farm, had been stolen fly the two mur

THE FIRST Asismeast NewspAreas.—There
was not a newspaper printed in thei English
colonies, throughout the continent Of North
America, until the 24th of April, 1701, when
the Boston News Leader was' .issued on alialf
sheet, with small plea type. It was published
by John Campbell 1 a ScOtellmall; bookseller
and postmaster. he contents of the first
umfber were the Queens speech in the ,
English Parliament, a few articles under the
Boston head, one advertisement, extracts from
London papers . , and four paragraphs of marine
news. Advertisements were inserted "at a
reasonable rate, from two pence to five
In 1721 James Franklin established a news
paper in Boston. The paper was severely cri
-1 iCal ; somewhat hostile to the clergy.
Franklin became unpopular; was censured
and imprisoned for "scandalous libel."
James Franklin was "strictly forbidden to
print the New England Courant without a su
pervision," &c. He evaded this order of super
vision by substituting his brother's name for
his own. The Courant lived three years,
The American Weekly mercury of Philadel
phia, issued in 171'2, was the third newspaper
Printed in the colonies. It was made up of
quaint advertisements and short paragraphs
of antique news.
The Pennsulrania Gazette,. edited by Dr.
Fianklin, and published in 149 was the next
step towards journalism. In its prospectus
Franklin announces his intention to make a
good, readable journal, and in his ideas it is
easy to see that he was far in advance of his
contemporaries. His paper consisted of four
small pages, and the subscription was ten shil
lings a year.
In 1735 Thomas Fleet esta.olished the Boston
Evening Post. Fleet was born in England, and
learned his trade there. He once advertised a
Negro woman for sale as follows: "To be sold
by the printer of this paper, the very best
negro woman in this town. She has had the
small-pox and measles ; is as hearty as a horse,
as brisk as a bird, and will work likes beaver."
Fleet was a humorous fellow, and made money
out of his paper.
The Pennsylvania Towrnal and TRekly Ad
vertiser was started about 1760. At the time of
the stamp act, in 170, the paper came out in
mourning, with the motto "The times are
dreadful, doleful, dismal, dolorous, and dollar
less." There was also a death's head in one
corner of the page, and under it these words :
"0! the fatal stamp."
A journal called the New York Gazette nom
rished a little while in 1771. It was remarkable
in no parkable.
The first daily paper in the tinned States
was the Pennsytroine_Packei, afterwards called
the Daily Advertiser; started in 1791.
These were the first rude attempts at Ame
rican journalism, and, as such, are worthy of
mention. Upon the advent of the daily paper,
the ideas of collating and digesting the news
grew more and more comprehensive, and I

Francis Church, pastor of the First T.T.
Church, preached his tenth anniversary ser

the membership was twenty-live, and three
elders; now. with all the changes, the deaths,

ginal number, however. The pastor has
preached fifteen hundred and fourteen ser
mons, solemnized two hundred and forty-one
marriages, and soothed the last moments of
fifty-one of his dock, who have died in ten
years. A debt with which the church began
its career is now almost entirely cancelled,
and a bright future is before the congregation.

makes some suggestions concerning the fune

Firstithat the-bells of all our own churches
be muffled and tolled at the time of the fune
ral ; that the bishops and presbyters wear
crepe scarfs over the Surplice, instead of the
MIMI silk ones 5 that, unless the tower of the
church is to be used by the clergy at the rune
ral ceremonies, the same be thrown open to
the public, in order that a larger number of
persons maybe accommodated than the church
will contain; that, if practicable, the lid of
the coffin be removed in the church, that the
many citizens may have the opportunity
of a last look at the, mortal remains of
one so universally respected and beloved.
Tbat the clergy of all denominations be in

pews be reserved for them. That due notice

The Disc(ples of ehrist.—Aoorrespondent sends
us the following extract, from the Baltimore
American, concerning this denomination:
The growth of this body of Christians, some
times called Camphellites, is very rapid. They
had their origin in this country, only about
forty year's ago 4 but they number cow, in the.
United States alone, over six hunted Licoiciaras
communicants, while they are growing rapidly
in Great Britain, the Canadas, the West Indies,
and Australia. As a denomination, they have
always been devoted to the interest of
education, and the diffusion of general in
telligence. They hare now under their con
trol thirteen tirst•elaSS colleges, and in addi
tion a large number of academies and higher
seminaries of learning. They now publish a
quarterly, four weekly, and eleven monthly
papers, besides innumerable tracts, pamphlets,
and miscellaneous matter. Their statistics
show that they have four thousand two hun
dred preachers in the field in this coun
try, many of whom are men of high
intellectual culture and talent. Their
great strength lies in the "Valley of the
Mississippi," the State of Kentucky alone hav
ing one hundred and thirty thousand persons
belonging - to that Church. They claim to have
no creed but the Bible ; and to call Bible
things I.)y Bible names. They contend that
they occupy the ground held by the primitive
Christians, and teach thatch/ Christians should
unite,upon the word of God. However much
in error their doctrinal tenets may be regarded
by their religious friends, the fact cannot be
disguised that during the past thirty or forty
years they have made more rapid progress
than any other denomination in the United
States.
There is, we believe, one church of this de
nomination in this city, located at Twelfth and
Melon streets.

TDB CIULDItDi!' OF TIM BATTLE-FOAM.
--Most of our readers will remember the his
, t orical incident of the dead soldier of Gettys
burg and his children. Sergeant ituinisten
was found on the field of Gettysburg rafter the
battle, dead; holding in hiS brave hand the pic
ture of his three beautiful children. When
mortally wounded, he dragged. himself as far
away from the scenes of carnage as he could,
that he might be alone with his God and his
little ones.. Ile expired with the ferrotype
likeness so placed within his hand that the
picture-faces no doubt met his dying gaze. A
stain of blood may yet be seen on the relic.
This pieture,taken possession of hyDr. Bourne,
of this city, led, through his exertions, to the
finding of the children and their widowed mo
ther. Four months had elapsed, however, be
fore this desired result Was obtained. The
poor widow numiston had nearly given up
hope of hearing anything of the sergeant. A
newspaper notice, describing the picture,
caught the eye of a lady who knew the dis
tressed family. Dr. Bourne was written to,
and a photograph copy of the picture was sent.
In a Instant part of New York; live hundred
miles from here, the mother and children were
made acquainted with the fate of their loved
one. The family were in distressed circum
stances. The picture taken from the dead.
father's hand having been photographed, and
the copies sold in large numbers for their bene

for. The children are' kept at school, and a
home has been purchased for the family at
Portville, W. Y.
Rik now intended to interest Superintend
ents and children of Sunday-schools, through
out the land, with a view of benefiting many
other families in like circumstances from the
same cause, and by the same means. A heauti- •
ful piece of music, composed upon the touching
incident, entitled, " The Children of the Battle

and the profits go into a fund for orphans,
under the control of the Association for the
Founding of a Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, and
the establishing en Asylum' for Soldiers' Or-
Phans. The Sabbath-schools, generally, are
taking a lively interest in the matter.
NEW ENGINE HOCSE.—Next Thursday
week, the 17th instant, being the sixty-sixth
anniversary of the formation of the Hope
Hose and Steam Fire Engine Company, they
will take formal possession of their new
house on Pine street, above Second. The pro
perty formed part of the Willing estate. The
old mansion-house has been torn out, and a
new iron front has been put into the first
floor, with two large double doors and three
small ones. Two tracks are laid upon the
floor of sufficient length to hold two rows of
apparatus three deep. To the left of the en
trance is the hose tower and entrance to the
second story. The tower is tour feet square
and fifty-six feet high, thus allowing a section
of hose to be extended its full length. The
wails of the blinding are made in - imitation of
Piston stone. The sitting-room is on the first
floor, and is twenty-two by thirty feet. In the
rear of this room is the etable, paved with
granite blocks. It has four stalls, two of which
are floored with boards, and two lined with
fine briek-Clay, The parlor on the second floor
is forty feet square, and is to be freseond in
the highest style of the art. The bunk-room
adjoining is twenty by fifty-six-feet, and con
tains twenty-eight single closets. The ceiling
is eighteen feet high, frescoed throughout in
panels and centre pieces. The floor is carpeted
with Brussels, and there are twenty-two iron
bedsteads in the room. • The bath-room con
necting with the bunk-room is fitted up in ad
mirable style. The dining-room is on the
third story; it is large, and well adapted for
the purposes for which it is intended.
THE HEGIRA TO THE SEA-SHORE. —The
sweltering heat of the city of bricks and mor
tar has caused a hegira to the sea , :shore. On
last Saturday afternoon a thousand ladies and
gentlemen took advantage of the two o'clock
fast train, and reached the popular "city by
the sea" at flve minutes past four o'clock.
The same train will run this afternoon, start
ing at two o'clock from Vine-street wharf, to
return by nine o'clock on Monday morning.
Co]. Bryant, the principal agent at the ferry,
says that there never was such a rush of
people to Atlantic City as has been the case,
thus far, this season. There are quite a num
ber of our first families there, and distin
guished personages from the interior. It is
expected that the Count of Landsfelt will go
down on the train this afternoon.
The • half-past four o'clock train for Long
Branch also starts from Vine-street wharf, and
it is likely that a large number of ladies and
gentlemen will go to the Branch this after
noon. The tables and the - 'hotels are all well
stocked with the luxuries and necessaries of
life at both Long Branch and Atlantic City.
PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL COLLEGES.—
Most of the medical colleges of our city are
being renovated and repaired, preparatory to
the opening in the fall. The Jefferson Medi
cal College has had its building repaired, and
the illaseeting-room enlarged. A large at
tendance is anticipated—the number heing
augmented principally by new members from
the Southern States. Dr. Biddle, of this city,
has been elected to the Chair of Materia Medi
car recently occupied by the late Dr. Mitchel?.
The Pennsylvania Medical College has re
cently passed into new hands, and the title of
the institution has been changed to that of the
Philadelphia University of Medicine and
Surgery. The building has been thoroughly
°Verbal/led and put in the best order. The
mus.eum and dissecting-room have been en.
larged. The session will commence on the
1903 of October next. The University of Penn
sylvania, one of the oldest and most flourish
ing medical institutions in this country, will
open under.the most favorable auspices.
aura, Trem.--These are distressingly
dull times. The Aldermen of the city sit in
their offices, but nothing turns up to draw
forth their legal talents. Policemen have
nothing to do but seek a shady nook on their
posts_ The prison-van drives past the Mayor's
office, but finds no one to take away;.and the
old office looks gloomy indeed. Yesterday
there was not a case heard, and reporters
looked around for a chip of some kind, but
little or nothing was discovered. The fact is,
the weather is so intensely hot that people
keep cool as possible; and a fight cannot be
gOtten-up even among the bootoblacks,who are
a hot•blooded crowd as a general thing.
CUMBERLAND COAL AND IMPROVEMENT
COMPANY.—It will he seen, by reference to our
,adyertising columns, that this company has
Organized by selecting a board of directors
composed of nine Philadelphia gentlemen.
Among these are some of our most enterpris
ing and reliable business men, and they will
undoubtedly carry the company to the highest
possible point of success. It is a striking eri_
donee of the `'aloe of the lands owned by the
company, that gentlemen of such high bnsis
ness character are willing to embark in their
development.
DISTRESSING OCCUERENCE.—Yesterday
morning persons in the vicinity of Washing
ton Avenue and Swanson street were horrified
at seeing a man throw himself under a freight,
car which was passing that locality. The
wheels passed over his stomach, crushing him
badly, and causing almost instant death. He
was subsequently recognized as Henry W.
Erdman, ftgod twenty-seven, formerly First
Lieutenant of Company I, Sist Pennsylvania
Volunteers.
IwAuclunvrtosT.—The Ashland Cricket
Club will inaugurate their new grounds, Co.
lumbla avenue, above Ridge avenue, this after
noon. A scrub match wilt be played by the
members of the Club—game to commence at
three o'clock. •The public are invited. Seats
reserved for ladies.
SLIGHT PME.—About ten o'clock last
evening, a fire was discovered in the Spice
mill, corner of Broad and Arch streets. The
flames were extinguished before any great
damage was done.
FtsuED OUT.—On Thursday night, the
harbor police heard a splash in the Delaware,
at Willow-street wharf, and, on proceeding
there, fished out a man known as Major Mans
field, who had jumped overboard while labor
ing under a fit of lapacy.
UNITED STATES SOLDIERS' AND SAIL- .
ORS' Hems OF P732iNBYLVANIA.—The board of
managers of the ,6 United States Soldiers' and
Sailors' Home of Pennsylvania' , present the
following to the public as the aim and dis
tinctive character of this Associatitn
Our aim is to found a Home for our disabled
soldiers and sailors, upon a plan liberal and
Bevel. The name we have chosen indicates
that, although an institution for the State of
Pennsylvania, the Home will be open to re
ceive and shelter maimed soldiers of other
loyal States of the 'Union. We design to lo
cate it as near to Philadelphia as may consist
with our means, to buy a tract of land of suit
able extent for easy tillage by the inmates,
and for the erection of shops and machinery
for light mechanical and manufacturing labor,
with ,cottages for the Occupancy of inmates
and their dependent femilie9. .AS nearly as
possible, the Home snail be self-Supporting.
A school for the instruction of the younger
men will be provided, as also means for edu
cating and training to industry the children
within the guardianship of the institution.
We are sure the last-named part of our plan,
to wit, the reception of soldiers with their
families to the fostering care of the Home,
will meet the hearty approval of the patriotic
and grateful public, as the bare suggestion of
it gladdens the hearts of anxious, brave men,
whose maimed and crippled condition leaves
themselves and theirfamilies hopelessly poor.
A word as to our distinctive future course:
We hoped to have seen the various efforts
now making in this Commonwealth for our dis
abled soldiers and their sullerim , families,
blended in a single organization foirthe attain
ment of one grand result such as we contem
plate ; but having striven to effect union with
kindred associations thus far unsuccessfully,
and the plan wo propose, as above, being so pe
culiar, we shall endeavor to carry it out as a
distinct organization, under. proper charter
from the State; and, therefore, we call upon
our fellow-citizens for their generous counte
nance and co.OperatiOn.
We have two effident solicitors employed to
raise funds; Mr. T. Atkinson and Mr. A. G.
Thomas, late faithful chaplains in the military
hospital and field ; whose ti nd labors we
have engaged at a moderate cappensation, the
more speedily to advance our work.
Contributions may be also remitted to the
Superintendent, Mr. A. Martin, No. MI. Chest
nut stacet, Philadelphia.

Yesterday morning Edward Thompson was
brought before Recorder Eneu by Officer
Sharkey on a serious charge. F. W. Franklia
testified that he held some money for a sol
dier who was in Camp Cad walader. The sol
dier sent for him, but upon his reaching the
camp he was refused adMitlfdoll ; lle then re
quested the prisoner, who was an enlisted
man and acting in the capacity of a cleric at
the camp, to sec the soldier for him. In a few
days the prisoner called upon Mr. Franklin
and presented a letter, purporting to have
come from the soldier, for $lOO. Mr. Franklin
handed him the money and gave him Ave dol
lars for his trouble. The letter was subse
gnently discovered to be a forgery, and the
prisoner made his boasts of how nicely he ob ,
tabled the $lO5. The Recorder informed him

Bruce said that Simpson hacked into his Wa
gon intentionally. The Recorder said that
was no excuse for his beating him. Bruce

He was sent to prison, to answer at comp..
A rather novel case came before Alderman

and caused the arrest of an Englishmannamed
James L. Burks on a charge of assault and bat
tery. A friend and fellow-countryman Of the
