' The Yellow Fever in Virginia. Baltimore, Tuesday, Oct. 9f 1S55. We have Norfolk letters of yesterday which report a eontiuued abatement of . the yellow fever, there being but few new -cases, and only an occasional death. A- - ibeut sixteen had died during the last ibree days, most of them returned refu goes. On Sunday there were four deaths and three new cases, and on Monday none were reported. At Portsmouth .tbere had been four deaths and eleven jiew oases during the last three days. The Rev. M. Devlin, a Catholic Minister, vas very ill. A lFast'', Place. A Louisvilltan, en route from 'Old Kentnck' to Madison, Wis., writes to the editor of the Knicker bocker Magazine: "The nest town at which we stopped was Chicago, a place which is growing so rapidly that the omnibusses can't go as fast as the streets do. In Chicago you Viehr'of nothing but real estate. People are unhappy till they buy, and remain so until tbey sell. Any thing that offers a speculation is called in the Chicagoese Innguague 'a good thing,' and they are doing 'good things' from morning till night. A man that has 'no speculation in his eye' is considered as dead as Banquo." Suicide in Hue Bridal Cluamhcr. Miss Clara Ilaskins was found dead in her bridal dress and chamber, near Natchez, Mississippi, on the 2d inst. After being dressed by her bridesmaids, she request ed them to retire for a short time, and when they returned they found her lying lifeless upon her couch, with an empty vial which had contained prussic acid, still clasped in her hand. She bad n dopted tho desperate alternative of self destruction rather than marry a man she could not love in obedience to parent al authority. The Richmond Mail Bobber. Adam H. Smith, who robbed the mail iat Richmond, in Northampton county, not ftilong since, and arrested at Reading, was triedjast week in Philadelphia and een- : j-ence'd to a fine of SI and two years im- iprisonment in the penitentiary. He plead guilty of robbing tho mail of a letter mail ed -in this place, containing 8,400 ;n bank lIXQtes. How Members are 'Got TTp' for tlie Ne braska Legislature.

A Guano Company has been formed in New York, with a capital of SHUJUU, 000. They profess to own an island in the Pacific, covered with a deposit ot ver two hundred million tons of ammoni ated guano, and to have despatched a shi with men to take possession of it. They further say, they expect to sell the hrs year 400,000 tons, at 30 a ton, out which they will realize a profit of 2,400, 000, These expectations, however, are yet to be realized. Cost of Hour. The Boston Traveler states, that some weeks since a gentleman of Boston wa traveling in the West, and whilo at Chi cago purchased half a dozen barrels fine flour for his own use at 85 87 per barrel. He sent it to Boston, and the extreme coast, delivered at his house there, was $7 75 per barrel. At that time the same brand of flour was selling at S14 a bar rel, or for nearly double what the gentle man's cost him. A few days since the citizens of Provincetown held a meeting and chose a committee of five persons to proceed to the West, with full powers to contract for flour sufficient to supply the families in that town. Taylor Monument. "We understand that tho Monument to the memory of George Taylor, which is to be erected at our cemetery, is now completed and set up at the Marble Yard of Mr. II. S. Tarr, in Philadelphia. It is said to be a choice work of art, beauti ful and significant in design, and elegant in execution. It is expected that it will soon be sent to the Committee here, when measures will be taken to have it formal ly erected on the permanent site chosen. It will be a great ornament to our ceme tery, but above all it will be a just tribute to the memory of a noble and patriotic citizen who served his country manfully in her greatest trial, and periled his life and property for the cause of human Lib erty . Easto?iian. Bishop Hughes at "Work. The following from the Bloomville, Del aware Co., Mirror, tells its own story. It is time for Americans to be awake when Archbishop Hughes and his agents take the field ! Read (!): "The Roman Catholic Post Master General, James Campbell, has removed us from the Post Office in Bloomville, and appointed Walter Hill, a Roman Catho lic Scotchman, in our place. "Wc know no reason for our removal other than be cause at all times and on all occasions we denounce Roman Catholic Principles as dangerous to the cause of Liberty and the welfare of the American Uuion. Later from California and the Pacific. By tho arrival of the steamship George Law, at New York, on Tuesday, we have further intelligence from California and the Pacific. The George Law brings 8755,000 in gold and four hundred pas sengers. Among tho passengers are Col. Steptoe and Capt. Ingalls, of the Army. The steamship Uncle Sam, on her up ward passage to San Francisco, had lost thirty-six of her passengers by cholera. During the passage of the George Law, a collection of 8700 was made for tho re lief of the sufferers by the fever at Nor folk and Portsmouth. The dates from San Francisco are to the 5th ult.. the same as brought by the Star of the West. The dates received from the Isthmus, are to the 15th of August. Tremendous northern gales had occurred during the previous fortnight, doing great damage to the shipping. Sixteen vessels, includ ing the American propeller Eudora, had been driven ashore and lost, with all their cargoes. Forty lighters were also wreck ed and fourteen lives lost. The Chilian transport Indefatigable blew up in the harbor of Valparaiso on the 3d ult, kill ing three of the crew and maiming eight. Don Antonio Garcia Rayes had been ap pointed ton.

"This infamous man leaves a bloody track behind him that causes horror." Another of his acts, though at the or ders of his father, was the following which I know to be true: At the firs attack on Zapotlan, (Jalisco,) the troops of Santa Anna got the advantage, and took thirty-eight prisoners, some badly wounded, and they were ordered to b shot, but at the instance of a friend, the . commander was persuaded to spare thei lives, against orders, until ho could hear from Santa Anna. The latter immediate ly sent a courier to his hopeful son, who was stationed not far distant, with orders to co himself and have these prisoners ex routed at once. lie went, and in less than an hour after his arrival these order were carried out to the letter. Strange but True. About twelve months ago a young an blooming lady of Ludlow-st, in this Gity entered the bonds of matrimony, and bout eleven weeks ago she presented her husband with a fine healthy boy. Last Friday she was suddenly take sick, and her mother being with her sen for the doctor, believing that she had touch of the cholera. Not finding Dr. It. Wood, she called in a strange Doctor, who, upon entering the room, said to her "Maaame, is your daughter married!" The mother answered: "Certainly, sir; d you not see her boy lying there just elev en weeks old to-day: "Eleven week old," replied he; "why, woman, she going to present her husband4with auoth -cr child." And so it turned-out instead of cholera there appeared a bouncing fat girl who is thriving and doing well. The writer of this knows these facts to be true, although they may appear very strange. N. Y Tribune. Foreign Nercs. Bp the arrival of the Steamship Pacif ic, at New York, on Wednesday, wo have advices from Europe one week later, ihe news is not very important. General Pcllissicr's official report had not been received in Paris in Paris, but he tele graphs home that he took in Scbastopol four thousand cannon, fifty thousand can non balls and a vast amount of powder and other munitions of war. Another despatch makes the number of cannon captured twelve hundred of the largest calibre, and four thousand of smaller size. It appears, also, that several of the large fortswere left uninjured, and have fallen into the hands of the Allies. The latter have begun to occupy the town, but the Russians were still seen in small groups among the rums. It is said that the Al lies have blown up the greater part of the fortifications of Scbastopol left standing by the Russians. . The Czar is reported to have telegraphed to the King of Prus sia that Russia never makes peace after a defeat. Misery. A case of the most melancholy descrip tion came under our observation, a few days since, in the Police Court. A wo man named Denny, filthy almost beyond description, was brought up for trial as a common drunkard. A little boy about four years old, entirely blind, and reeking with filth, stood beside her, and another about two years old, in the same condi tion of filth, lay on the ffoor at her feet. The officer said he found the woman in a cellar-hole near Fort Hill surrounded by the most disgusting and horrible impuri ties. In this wretched place she had lain drunk in one position for five days, mere ly rousing herself occasionally, long c- nough to swallow a fresh notation of "liquid damnation," and then relapsing into an insensible state. There was no furniture, fuel, or food in the room ; but crouched in one corner, on a pile of dirty rags, were her three dirty, half-naked children, weeping for bread. Add to this state of things the fact that the wo man was again about to become a moth er, and the living picture of utter destitu tion is complete. A short time before, the husband and father of this miserable family was sent to the Ilouse of Correc tion for ten months, for assaulting the mother with an axe, and the officer know ing that the children h.ad no friend, ex cept that beastly mother, had supplied food for their immediate wants, and then brought the family into Court. As the Judge gazed upon the bloated counten ance of the woman, who had begun to show unmistakable signs of delirium tre mens, he was evidently moved to compas sion, and ordered that for the present the whole family be sent to the Ilouse of In dustry. Ifc seems almost incredible that so much wretchedness can be discovered in the midst of this populous and pros perous city. Our numerous charitable societies may find cases of destitution worthy of their attention, without waiting for the frosts and snows of Winter. J3os0H Atlas.

A little war and especially a naval war, may in the end be found essential to complete the process of "crushing out Free-Soilism, which Gen. Gushing announced sorao two years, ago. It is a common expression a mons the supporters of the ultra South oru policy of the Administration; tha thev "hone to see a hundred thousand Abolitionists shot and hanged;" thatth only remedy for Free-soil is to drench with blood the soil of the States which tolerate it, and so on.

BuiTthey arc conscious that the renewal of the slavery agitation, which their measures have produced, has ex cited the passions of the peoplo to fury and that'civil discord in its worst form must follow unless extraordinary mean be adopted to break tho force of the temp est. A war with Denmark would answer this purpose, and might result in the ac quisition of her desirable West India pos sessions. In fact, this would be a certain consequence of the rupture unless the oth er naval powers interfered. The paltry tonnage duties, which Denmark levies up on our few ships,- passing her coasts, are considered a sufficient cause of war by Gen. Pierce and Mr. Marcy, is an impu tation upon their intelligence which thay do not deserve. The President will probably omit to furnish the corcspondence on this subject with his annual message, but it will be called for, and the representatives of the commercial States will take care that their interests arc not made the pivot for an in trigue which can only result to their det riment. The North wants no foreign war, and certainly will not provoke domestio teuds. And tho bouth could uerive no permanent advantage from either, though her policy would indicate a different opin ion among her leading men. .0- Don't Like Popery. The editor of the Louisville Journal, in doing service for the Know Nothings, has got into a controversy respecting the merits of the Catholic Church, aud deals his blows without mittens. He says: Roman Pontiffs aro known to be both kings and priest. They unito with the tiara tho imperial diadem. They hold the sprititual sword of Cesar,and both the keys of St. Peter. With the two swords they havo cloven down the spiritual and and temporal rights of mankind. With the two keys they have locked up heaven and opened hell. They have disposed of crowns and kingdoms, lorded for twelve centuries over God's" heritage, and got ten drunk on the blood of the saints. Their principles and their practices have ever been destructive to the civil and re-. hffious rights of mankind. Tho most ample time has been afforded for the trial of Popery. After a reign in Italy for twelve or fifteen ceuturies, no good fruit has ever been borne. Freedom of thought, of speech, and of religious worship, is crushed in the very seat of empire. On his own duDghill, and at his own home, the Head of the Hierarchy mocks at tho sacred rights of mankind. He restricts and punishes them systematically, pur posely, and avowedly upon the principles of his religious corporation. No prede cessor of his has ever done otherwise through ages ugon ages. If the long ser ies of sovereign despots were truly com missioned by Jesus as Head of His Church, then Popery is divine, the Declaration of Indpendence is a lie, and tho constitutions of America are usurpations ou tho divine rights of Kings- If the principles of our constitutions arecorrect,every Papal Pon tiff has been a mere usurper and a tyrant. No true American can lovo and revere the character of a Pontifical Tyrant; nor can the heart take a distinction between his kingly and his priestly nature. If the kingly part of him were beheaded, the priestly part would hardly bo spared. It is impossible to detest and pay homage to the samp porson. We cannot revero in nijr Uho priest, whilo we hate tho ty rant.' Tho sanctity of the Pontiff is ut terly lost in the atrocity of tho Despot. Sentence of Death passed upon Jacob Armbruiter. )n Wednesday, 19th ult.," at the as sembling of. tho Court at Doylestown, Bucks County', Jacob Armbruster was I brought up' lo receive the sentence of the aw for the murder or nis wnc, unristi- ana Armbru&tcr. After ho was placed n the dock. Judge Smyser asked in the usual form, what he had to say why sen- tencce of death should not bo pronounced against him. To this he responded in Gorman, that he wanted a new trial, and fUof l,n .rmlfl nrnvfi that on tUe WCeK 01 ' .. .. t r tUUk ' ' flm Tniirr?rr lin WHS ill a distant part of tUU kit A he country. As he had made this state- ment previous to. his trial, ana it ueiug unsupported by any evidence, the Judge d d not feci at liberty to grant ins reque&i, the sentence of death upon him in the manner following: Jacob Armbruster: x ou have Deen convicted by a iury of your country of the wilful murder of Christiana Armbroster, your wife : and you will soon, very soon, J ...... n bo called upon to expatiate that onencc, iy a shameful and ignominious death on he gallows. If the doom that awaits you is dreadful, your crime has been no less so. At its hideous aspect nature shrinks, and humanity shudders. lour ictim wis your wife, tho partner or your bosom, the mother of your children! ohe was often and long tho subject ot your un kiudness. Once she was obliged to ap peal to this court to interpose the shield of the law for her protection trom abu?e: but the warning was given in vain. Oh that you had then heeded it! Then, she would not uow be the untimely tenant o tho tomb, nor you the doomed victim o the law you iiavo so crieviously offended True, she may not have been always blameless; but she was a woman,and your wife. In that two-fold character, she should have been safe from outrage a your hands. But you seem to have been incapable of feeling the force ot a senti ment like this. Intemperance, with you as with thousands of other?, seems to to have been your bane, and to have aid ed in your ruin; for it is in testimony ,tha when under its influence, the evil quail ties of your nature were most developed and displayed With mind and heart thus prepared for the crowning and supreme act of guilt the temper, the arch enemy of souls found you. You looked with eyes -of co vctous desire on her little property whic she held in her own right. You inquir ed, and were told that if she died iutes tato, it would be yours; and so thinking, you resolved to secure it, and prevented any other disposition of it by deed or do vise, by taking her me with your own homicidal hand. The fell design was darkly shadowed forth in your language to Thos. Gwinner and John Osborne. It was a slight temptation to so horrid a deed; but it sufficed. Withdrawing your self from home under a pretended jour ney, you lurked in the vicinity of your dwelling, awaiting the favorable opportun ity, like the tiger awaiting his prey. It came. You attacked. The knife was aimed at the throat of your miserable vic tim! The blow descended, and the life- blood of Christiana Armbruster was pour ed forth like water on her own hearth stone! Leaving your victim to welter in her gore, you fled, as you thought, un seen. Yain hope ! The eye of Omnis cience, that never sleeps, was on you, and summoned guileless childhood to the spot, to witness and testify to your hurried flight from the scene of blood. The Moody coat you wore on the occasion,still bearing the sanguinary stains of Murder, was produced, a mute but terrible witness against you; and your vague allegation that you were at a distant point on the afternoon and night of the murder, un supported by any attempt at proof, when if true, proof was so easy, only strength ened the coils by which you wcro envir oned. Rash man! Did you not know that the earth that drinks the blood of tho mur dered, cries out unceasingly agaiust the murderer, until justice has, done her full and perfect work! That work will soon be consummated. Avenging Justice has her hand upon you now, soon to strangle you in her grasp! Believe me these remarks are not made to harrow up your fceliugs, or wantonly to probe a fresh and bleeding wound. But it will be wholesome and salutary for you to realize in all its magnitude and o vcrwhclming horror, the deed you com mitted. I would have you do so, you may be tho better disposed and prepared to address yourself to the work of prayer and penitence, as a preparation for your near and approaching doom. The shad ow of death is upon you even now, and you are already signed and sealed for the grave. Will you not realize, in all its dread reality, the startling fact! I tell you, death is now at your side with out stretched arms, ready and eager to fold you in his embrace! Will you not realize his presence? Look behind you, and what there do you behold? Your wife, your murdered, butchered wife, lying on the hearth, wel tering in gore? Anon she rises, and with eyes swimming in blood, with tottering, reeling gait, the death damp on hor brow, she staggers onward from the fatal room, and dies. Look behind again. You see a bloody track from the room of murder to the gate of tho yard, traced with the life-blood of the dying woman ! Look onoe more. You see a child, a babe, her grandchild your grandchild dabbling its little hands and feet in that pool ofl blood. Now look before you, and see the gal lows, tho coffin and the shroud, closing the short vista of life still in your view 1 Oh ! I adjure you, by all your Hopes of Heaven and foars of Hell! By your own immortal soul whose eternal destiny is in the balance! that you at onoe address yourself in fervent and unceasing prayer to Almighty God that ho may enable you to see your orimo in all its horror, snay soften your heart to penitence, and fit you for your awful change! That is your on ly hope; and you have no time to lose in availing yourself of it. Cast from you every expectation of earthly pardon, oy gb- cape ior i soiemuiy aaauic juu v firm conviction that you have no jus? ground of hope of either. So far as this world is concernedj your account with it will soon be closed, lour doom is cer- ain and inevitable. So regard it. Ana so regarding it, let your undivided atten tion bo given to prepare yourseir ior aoaiu ana .juugmenw ai iub uruuucu, Savior, promised salvation to the thief on he cross, you need not despair of his sal vation likewise, if you will but seek it m the right way. In that same Cross, is your only hopel There is your only ref uge! To what earthly hope can you cling! You have bad a fair and impartial trial, before a iury almost of your own selec tion; and you have been defended by able and faithful counsel, by whom nothing has been left undone that could have a vailed you. It has been unavailing;your doom is about to be spoken. The cur tain is about to fall forever betweep you andgTime, and the veil of Eternity to bo lifted . May you be prepared to encount er its droad realities! To this end, study diligently the Scriptures of Truth, that you may profit by the examples there re corded. Bow your spirit, in deep abase ment and self humiliation, beneath thor mighty hand of God! Pour forth your heart in fervent and unceasing prayer for penitence and pardon. Fly to tho- Savior! Fly quiokly, ior the avenger oi blood is behind you! Take refuge be neath the Cross; cling to it with a grasp that death shall not loosen! for if you let tio, you are lost! Look, with believing; eyes, on bim who died tnereon mat sin ners, even such as you, might live! Thus may you find from Heaven, mat mercy which the inexorable justice of man de nies. Bat this painful scene has been suffi ciently prolonged. It now only remains for mc to pro nounce upon you, in the manner of the law, its last judgment. The judgment and sentence of the Court is, that you. Jacob Armbruster, be taken from the Court House where yos are, the common gaol of Bucks couuty whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution within the walls or yard of said gaol, at such time as the Governor of Pennsylvania shall order and appoint, and that you then there be hanged by tho neck until you are dead; and may God have mercy on your soul ! He received the solemn and earnest warning of the Judge with an unmoved countenance, which continued unchanged and unaffected even when the terrible de cree of death upon the gallows was pro nounced upon him. We learn that in the prison, since his sentence, hu conduct is much more mild and submissive than he fore he is glad to see his old acquaint ances, and talks freely of his impending fate, but has not yet confessed his guiit. Tremendous Iron Excitement, Within tho past few months quite a number of importantdiscoveries have been made in the vicinity of Hollidaysburg discoveries that, we think, will lead to very important results before long. Mr. Irvin, has discovered that there is an immense bed of iron oar in the ridge immediately back of the Presbyterian Grave Yard, and Win. Hartsock has not only discovered that the same vein which i3 a continua tion of the Frankstown opening runi through tho land belonging to his father-in-law, Mr. Thorn, but for several weeks past he has been raising pure fossil ore within the borough limits, until he has up wards of 150 tons stacked up, and ready for market. This vein pitches North South, and time alone can reveal its ex. tcnt. Where Hartsock is mining, the vein is eighteen inches thick, and the extent of territory it covers cannot be surmised. Ho is about introducing machinery, and will go into the business of raising ore ex tensively. Tho new Furnace will go into opera tion in March next this is a fixed fact; and we aro altogether ppeaking in bound when we say it is highly probable tbr.t two more will be erected next Hunnuor. This belief i:s fouuded on the fact that the pioneers who arc going into the busi ness are shr.ewd and sagacious men. Their venture will in.-pire confidence. Iron is now commanding an excellent; price, and nothing but a commercial rev--olution will lessen the price for the ncrrt half a cenlury, or so long as a mania to build railroads exist3. With inexhausti ble beds of ore but a few feet beneath the surface of the earth, within the borough limits, what shall prevent capital making ouuu a prouiaDic mvesimcnc as maKiu" iron : Since writing the above, we learn that other discoveries have been made, and, : the time we go to press, a wild iron ore excitement in our mid3t. J. M.

On Monday the brankstown vein of fossil ore waa opened on the lands of Smith & Caldwell, north of our borough, and found to be 14 in ohes in thickness; underneath it was a small strata of slate, and underneath it n gain a vein of ore, the thickness of whieh has not been ascertained, Sjvery laud owner north of us is prospecting, and there is reason to believe that in a short time inexhaustible beds of ore will be founds; llollidaysbwrg Standard.
