SUN BURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. Letter from pnor. webster'8 davoii. teii.- , The followinr loiter in published in tho Manchester Messenger. It will be tead with painful interest : j . CAMiMDor,1 April 8th, 1850. Daniel Marsh, Esq:. Sir, I this moving teceived the very kind letter you addressed to me, and which I hasten to answer, to thank you, in tba name of my mpther, rny sjsters, and myself, for the true sentiments. you en terlaiu wpecting my bolovedJiiihcrj, Ymi believe him innocent, and you believe what is trnt. Ilo is tho victim of circumstances, if deeply injured man. That Vie is innocent, we his-ramily 'know; and 'notliing on earth will ever take fiom us this conviction We .have never, fiom the moment ho was snnluh ed from his home, had a shadow of doubt on eur minds and whatever tho world may say 6r do, we shall ever have that feeling to sup port us. The knowledge of his innocence supported my father during the hours of suf fering in the court-room ; that it is that gives him and us calmness now, amidst the many sources of sorrow that have overwhelmed us. Far different from what we anticipated, was the result of the trial ; for we had been assured throughout the winter that our father could not but bo restored to us, and that at the trial he must receive justice for the many wrongs that had been heaped upon him. But justice fled from the court-room, and preju dice took her'place. - Vet hope still lingers with us, for we trust that the public voice w ill be raised against gross injustice that has been committed, and will not allow our country to bear such a stig ma on her name, such an everlasting stain, as will be that of the sacrifice of one so truly innocent as my father. And if one word from us, sir, can add a feather's weight to the efforts that are being made, oh, may we give you the deep assurance of our hearts, that wo feel grateful for the interest that you express and feel, and for what you are doing in our behalf. May God, in his infinite mer cy, look dow n upon you, ami bless the efforts that are being made ; and it it is not his will to bring the truth to light, and to allow this awful mystery to bo explained, may he en lighten the minds of those into whose hands the case will pass. I must again thank you, sir, for tho kind feeling you express towards my dear father. Nothing that the world can do now gives lis greater consolation than tho knowledge that others believe him innocent. Sympathy has flowed abundantly from many hearts towards us, his family ; but how much more prized by us, is that sympathy, when expressed for him! That our beloved father may be re stored to us, is tho fervent prayer of our hearts; and wo wait tremblingly in the hope, that those who are now to decide in this case may see the terrible injustico that has been committed, and has inflicted so much suffer ing on so many. Believe me, sir, gratefully yours, Harriet W. Webster. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. We are indebted to James Sinclair, Esq., for the following extract from a letter to him from A. MoDermot, dated Selkirk's Colony, Feb. 13, 1850: ''A packet has just arrived from McKen zie's River, which brings news that tho ship that went in search of Captain Franklin is wintering in McKenzie's Hiver. This packet is sent post haste by the Slates. It is thought the Captain is still alive. "Sir John Richardson and Mr. Bell are to leave this in a few days, taking with them all the men except eight, two of whom are to remain here during the Summer, whilst the other six are to accompany me down the Coppermine to tho Polar Sea; when, I hope, if the season proves favorable, to add a little to the chart of these regions. Mr. Sinclair has also kindly favored us w itb an extraat fiom a letter from John Rae, dated at Fort Confidence, 30th Apiil, 1919. The writer is attached to the expedition of Sir John Richardson, and his account of the very favorable weather during the winter of 18-18-9, leaves reason to hope that tho search for Sir John Franklin was prosecuted under tho most favorable circumstances, and as we have reason to hope, with success. Mr. Rae says: "The weather here has been very fine compared with the experience of Dcase and Sinclair; there have not been eight days du ring the last six months so stormy as to pre vent travelling. We have had an excellent house to live in, with an abundance of wood and venison, and very fine fish, as much as we could consume, with a largo slock on hand, in the Btore at present. "When the packet arrived here I was ab sent, nt tho Kendal River, with the first por tion of stores and provisions for the summer's consumption, but returned two days after. Groat number of deer were seen, all migrat ing northward. "si. Lotus lntclltgencer, April 5. Pi'seyism. Tho Rt. Rov. C. M.-lhaine, D. D., Bishop of tho Episcopal Church in Ohio, says: "Tho whole system is ono of church instead of Christ priest instead of gospel concealment of truth instead of man ifestation of truth ignorant superstition in stead of enlightened faith bondago where we are promised liberty; all tending to load us with whatever is odious in tho worst meaning of priestcraft, in the place of tho free, affectionate, enlarging, elevating, and cheerful liberty of the children of God." A Biter Bit. On Thursday evening, upon the arrival of the cars from Washington at the Pratt street depot, an attempt was made by tome scientific- abstractionist to lleece a worthy clergyman. The Reverend gentle man, upon alighting fiom the car, felt a hand in hi pocket, softly removing his pocket book, which contained two hundred dollars .(not a small sum for a pieacher) and quickly turning round, dealt the scoundrel such a blow in the physiognomy at to knock him down, the pocket-book fulling upon the ground at the same time. The preacher has tily picked up the wallet, and looking round -taw the fellow going along the track at the .rate of i 40. Bolt. Sun. .

This is an ever lasting theme in conversation as well as in newspapers, but it is one in which we all feel an interest. Thus far we have had a cold Spring. April has been less pleasant than February, and unless we soon have a change, vegetation will be, in some degree, affected. Grain already, in some plucos, as sumes a yellowish hue. We trust, how ever, that a change will soon take place and that we shall have no occasion to ex claim in the language of one of our poets, that 'Winter lingering chills the Inpof May.1' HF Adjournment of the Legislature. We inadvertently stated last week that the Legislature had resolved to adjourn, on the lfith inst. We intended to say the Senate. The House has taken no action on the motion yet, and will not, we pre sume, until the apportionment bill is passed. ZT Judges of the SuritESis Court. We see a number of gentlemen of high le gal attainments named as candidates for Judges of the Supreme Court. The Phila delphia Times contains a list with the name of the Hon. John M. Reed, at the head. OCT" The Sunbury Ferry on this side has passed into the hands of .Mr. Henry Bucher, who has taken the lease of Mr. Speese. Mr. Lenhart still continues on the other side. They are both careful and attentive men, and well provided with excellent crafts. The ferriage on two horse teams has been reduced 12 J cents. tiie rosToriicii advi:utimno. The following editorial curiosity we ex tract from tho Sunbury Gazette ol last week : 'It is nercHKtry fur him to prove by oath, in compliance with the statute, thnt his paper has the largest number of subscribers, before lie caurnjuv the much desired privilege of publishing !' list of li lk r.i. He tins taken no oatlt whatever, as tin as we know ; therefore the folly ofkie asserting "that hereafter tlio lint of letters will he. published in the American," on account of Ins ujvins the largest circulation. If it is published there, it vviil I'C done gratuitously, as it was done last week, for the pur pose of deluding the public into the belief that his paper exceeds ours in circulation. Our readers probably may be surprised, (if any thing coming from the Gazette can suprise them) to learn that there is not a word of truth in the above. If the sapient youth, who occasionally figures as editor, had, as he ought to have done, informed himself, before he undertook to refute what he calls "unsubstantiated assertion," he might have learned from our worthy P. M., that two affidavits, sworn to by hands in our office, were presented to her, certifying the numberof copies of the "American," issued from our office, with a request to furnish us with the list of letters, which we demanded according to law, unless the Gazette would satisfy her that their circulation was equal to the "American." A few days alter, the list was handed to us for publication. If the Gazette is anxious to know why they also received the fist, we will explain the myste ry. We repeat that the list will hereafter appear in our paper unless the Gazette will prove their circulation equal to ours, of which we have not the slightest apprehen sion. .Lift tne Liazette make tne necessary affidavits and thus settle the matter, if they have the courage to do so. In regard to the Democracy of our pa pers, we will leave the local advertising of our columns decide which is best appre ciated. We are perfectly satisfied with the cream, and with the kindest wishes for our neighbors of the Gazette, hope they may grow fat on the skim milk. Francis H. Elmore, Esq., has been been appointed by the Governor of South Carolina, U. S. Senator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Elmore hat accepted the appointment. 17" Union Times. The partnership of Baum & Winters has heen dissolved. The Timet will be hereafter conducted by Mr. Baum alone. Friend Baum has our be.it wishes for his success. POSTAGE. Senator Rusk has introduced a bill to re duce the rates ol postage to two cents on all letters not exceeding a half ounce. In the Housed we believe, the Committee has reported a bill to reduce the rates to five cents on all letters. Neither of these bills makes any provision for the free circulation of newspapers for a limited distance, and without this provision tho country cares but little for the bill. To them the news paper postage is of much more importance. Heretofore Congress has legislated entirely for our cities and large places, on this sub ject. It is time that something is done for tho interior. We repeat the great mass of the people in the interior care but little for the present bill if their interests are to be overlooked. KF"Bold attempt ATRonnKRr. An at tempt was made on Wednesday night, by five persons, to rob the store of Isaac Bivwn in Milton. While they attempted to remove the shutter, the clerk opened a door above, and threw down a shovel which knocked off the hat of one of them which has been secured and is said to be recogni sed. Mn. J. Young of Illinois, formerly the Land Office, was elected Clerk of the House on the 9th ballot, on Wednesday last. OMa.i. John Cummings of Union coun ty has been appointed Cargo Inspector at Columbia. DISGRACtriL SCENE IN TIIF. SIT NATE, Encounter between Benton and Foote, The United States Senate was the scene of another disgracelul encounter between Messrs. Benton and Foote on Wednesday last, on the consideration to refer Mr. Dell's compromise to a select committee. Mr. llenton, after being twice voted down proposed fourteen new amendments, for the purpose, as he avowed, of throwing obloquy on the authors and signers of the Southern Address. Mr. Foote remarked that John C. Calhoun, now in his grave, and the cause of mourning with the nation, was the au thor, and that he would live when his ca luminialors and detractors would be con signed to oblivion and contempt; and who said Mr. Foote is thus aspersing his memory ? A gentleman who calls himself the oldest Senator a man who Here Mr. Benton, with a violent crash of his chair, left his seat, and with an ex pression of countenance which indicated resolve for no good purpose, rapidly ap porached Mr. Foote. Mr. Dodge of Iowa, and Mr. Dodge of Wis consin, and others, apprehending a collision between Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote endea vored to detain the former from moving from his seat. Overcoming all resistance, ho con tinued towards Mr. Foote, who, leaving his place, stepped down tho main aisle, and took a position in tho area just in front of the Ser-geant-at-A nut' seat, at the right of tho Vice President, at tho. same time drawing a pistu from his bosom and cocking it. The scene which ensued is indescribable. Loud calls for tho Sergeant-al-Arins wero made, pries of "order !!' resounded from all sides of tho chamber. Many persons rushed from tho galleiies and out of the chamber, in apprehension of a general melee. Several Sunalois surrounded 2M r. Foote. among whom was Mr. Dickinson, who, se curing the pistol, locked it up in his desk. Mr. llenton in the meantime w as at nig gling in the hands of his friends w ho were endeavoring to prevent him from reaching Mr. Foote. While thus pinioned, as it were and yet almost unsuccessfully resisting the efforts of those who held him, Mr. lieuton boldly denounced Mr .Foote as an assassin, who had thus dared to bring a pistol in the Senalo to murder him. HJ said ,:I have no arms examine me I carry nothing of the kind stand out of his way, P"d let the scoundrel and assassin fire !" In uttering this sentence, Mr. lieuton threw off from either side those who held him tore open his vest, and invited tho fire of his antagonist. Mr. Foote, in the meantime, was restrain ed from advaneiug towards Mr. Benton. Tho Vice-President, after repealed and vigorous cHoils, succeeded in restoring a comparative state of quiet. Mr. Benton and Mr. Foote having resumed their respective teats, Mr. Foote rose uud inquired if ho could proceed in order. Mr. Benton, (in a very loud tone and much excited,) demanded that the Senate shall lake cognizance of tho fact that a pistol had been brought here to assasinate him. Mr. Foote explained, ho had no intention to attack any body. His whole course had been that of the defensive. He had been informed that an attack upon him had been intimated. Supposing, when tho Senator from Missouri udvanced towards him, that he was armed uud designed to attack him, he hud himscll advanced to the centre of the chamber, in order to be in a position wheru he could meet Mr. Bculon, in tho main aisle, upon equal terms. Mr. Benton protested against an intimation that he carried arms. He never did so. Tho Vice President tequested Mr. Foote to take his seat until it could asceitained what course was proper for the Chair to pursue. Mr. Hale regretted the necessity which seemed to impose itself upon htm, one of the youngest members of the Senate; but if no one else moved in the premises, he should deem himself uuwoilhy of hit teat, if he could let such a transaction at had just been witnessed, go out to the country without in vestigation. The Senate owed such a course to itself. Mr. Foote, (iu his teat.) I court it. Mr. Borland said he had apprehended no danger, and instead of the matter being a se rious affair to be investigated, he thought in, on of which the Senate should bo ashamed and should say as little about as possible. Mr. Foote expressed his assent to the pro position for investigation, but tolemnly pro tested that he had only armed himself In view of a premeditated attack, against which he had been warned Mr. Dodge, of Wisconsin, thought a Com mittee of Investigation ought to be appointed. Ilo stated that he had known Mr. Benton thirty-five years, and nover knew him to car ry arms. Mr. Benton, (in his scat, still much agita ted,) never! never! Mr. Dodge moved that a committee of sev en be appointed to investigate tho subject. It was a duly to tho Senute and the country. Mr. Clay expressed tho hope that Mr. Ben Ion and Mr. Foote would go before a magis trate, or elso in the presence of the Senate, pledge themselves not to commit a breach of tho peace, in the further prosecution of this affair. Mr. Benton I have done nothing to author ize a charge of intention to commit a breach of the peace, and I will rot in jail before 1 give a promise by which 1 admit such a thing (even by implication.) 1 carry no arms, sir, and its lying and cowardly to in' sinuate any thing ot the kind against me. Mr. Clay said his suggestion had no refer ence to the past, but to tho future. Mr. Foote said he was a constitution loving and law-abiding man. Ho only wore arms when ho had reason to believe he was in danger of being attacked. He preferred an other method of settling difficulties, and had always left the door inside, open, in order to avoid the necessity for any other mode of settlement then referred to. Ilo declared that ha had no design of proceeding further in the immediato controversy which had oc curred, but intimated that as a man of honor, ho felt bound to take the proceedings else where. Mr. Benton greeted tho last remark w ith a contemptuous laugh loud enough to be heard throughout '.lie chamber. After some further debate, a motion to ap point a committee, was agreed to, uud before any further action was had, the Senalo ad journed. Death of the tieik of the House of R.cpresciitti Uvea.

It commenced about half past eight in the morning, and continued, without interruption, until 5 o'clock in tho afternoon. The snow was from seven to eight inches deep on a level. To-day the weather is cold, foggy and disagreeable. The trial of young Montesquiou is drawing to a close. Mr. Bates commenced his argu ment for the defence on Saturday. The court room wns densely crowded during the day the seats being occupied by ladies. Accounts have reached this city from St. Joseph, where several companies of Califot fornia emigrants are concentrated.

'Tis gone, that old familiar ttee, Upon which we loved to gaze, And in our fancy picture o'er, The scenes of former clays, No more, sweet songsters of the wood, Shall find protection there ; In vain, Ihp lowing herds may search, For their old accustomed lair. The stately trunk, tho spreading boughs, The huge, yet graceful form, Hath bowed to many an angry blast, And many a polling storm. Wo loved it, tor its memniies, A gieat grnmlsire placed it there, Near the spot, where dear departed friends. Were laid widi tender card. Like a mighty sentinel it stood, Swayed by each gentle blast. 'Twould chant n soli'inn requiem, As if mourning fur the p:ist ; The red mans' relics slrew the ground, 'Neath, w here its shadow lay, Sad mementos of a powerful tace, All, all have passed away. 'Tis gone, that old familiar trep, Beneath w hoso ample shade, The weary oft have sought repose. And tho sporlivo (locks have played. A pleasing melancholy reigns, Around that sacred spot, Hallowed by kindred tics removed, Beyond tho range of thought. I. Sunbury, April 9, 1850. "THEY CAN'T KEEP HOUSE WITH OUT IT!"
