Ing been made of mo ia relation to the right
of persons to obstruct the passage of fish up
the Susquehanna river, end several petitions
having been sent to me, praying for legisla
tion on the sabject, I deem it my doty thus
pnblicly lo reply to thotn. It is a matter of
univorsal regret that so profitable a business
at shad-fishing, in which so many of our citi
zens were formerly engaged, should meet
with to many obstructions and by the de
struction of which so much valuable property
was depreciated and so many persons de
prived of employment; and" any 'means to
restore -this trade and afford employment to
our citizens will bo a public benefaction. No
legislation, however, is needed Mr. Kunkel,
one of our former representatives, having
provided lor it at tue session of 1851, as will
be seen by the following extract from the
pamphlet laws of that year, page 714 s
Sec. 9. It shall be tbe duty of tbe Susquo
hanna canal company to cause to be con
structed at the dams erected by them across
the river Susquehanna, a sluice for the pas.
sage of fish, over which at least ono foot of
water shall pass from tbo first day of April
to tbe fifteenth dsy of May of each year; the
said sluice to extend along the breast of the
dam tbe distance of from one hundred and
fifty yurds to two hundred yards, in prnpor
tion to tbe width of the river at said dams,
aud to be constructed at and immediately
opposite tbe mala channel from tbo dam
down stream, by steps of eighteen inches
perpendicular fail, end horizontal platforms
at tbe baso of each step of forty feet in
width j oi if tttid company shall neglect or
refuse to construct said sluices in the manner
f.ertin specified for the space of one year after
the passage of this act, the said dams shall be
deemed a nuisance, and may be abated as
other nuisances may be abated according to
im laws oj tins Lvinmonwealth
One remedy under this section is obvious
and easy, Auy person or persons suffering
by tbo obstructions in tho river may make
information before a justice of the peace, and
upon an establishment of the fact in a court
of justice, it will be the duty of that eourt to
abate tbe "nuisance."
It is proper for me to call public attention
to this law, inasmuch as it seems to bare
gone unnoticed, and many of our citizens are
interested and have applied to me, with
whom it would bo inconvenient for mo to
communicate separately.

ASSASSINATION OP AMD. J. RODKIGl'E.
About a year since we recorded the death of
Dr. A. Rodrigue, formerly of Suubury, but moro
recently of Hollidaysliurg, who had emigrated to
Lccompton city, Kansas, in 185S. We have
now to record the death of his eldest son, Andrew
J. Hodrigue, by the hands of an assassin, on the
3d iust., at I.ccompton.
The deceased was the grandson of Hugh Delias
ivq., oi tins piuce. He Was born m the city of
Pittsburg, in the fall of 1 835, and had just entered
his 23d year. He fell in the dawn of hit man
hood, leaving a widowed mother and sisters and
brothers to mourn his untimely fate.
In the fall of 1855 he emigrated with his father
to the city of Lecoinpton, aud at the date of his
death was engaged in the pursuit of farming,
while at the same lime ho held tbe office of
Clerk of the Supreme Court of the Territory of
Kansas. He was an able, courteous and efficient
officer, as the proceedings of the meeting of the
Dar, Chiel Justice I.ecouipte presiding, held on
tho Sth of April, in Lccompton, fully testify.
The following account of his death we extract
from the Lccompton Democrat, of the 8th iiibt :
SAD Olll'lUlt.Nlli.
"An affair of a sorrowful character occurred
in this city ou last Saturday noon which re
sulted in the death of ono of our oldest citi
zens, and the former Postmaster, Andrew J.
KoDniiii'E. It appears that a dilliculty
sprung up between the deceused and W. K.
Thompson, when the latter stabbed Mr. It.
with a pocki-t-knifu in tho side, which pene
trated the left lung, causing a mortal wound.
Two gccllunieu witnessed tho affray, ono of
whom was cut at by Thompson, aud their
evidenco was given iu before the coroner's
jury. The veidict wa3 iu accordance with tbe
fuels, 'That he cupie to bis death from a
wound inflicted by Wui. E. Thompson."
This biow is deeply felt by the widowed
mother, sisters und brothers, also, by tba
friends of the deceased, who has been cut
down by an untimely death, in tbu primo of,
l.l'e, and in the midst of carreer of usefulness.
We deeply sympathize with his family iu their
irreparable loss.
Tbe deceased lived until Wednesday mor
ning at 1 o'clock, and during the greater por
tion of the timo experienced jiiuch agony.
Immediately after tbe deed was perpetrated
Thompson left the city, aud although the offi
cers of tbe law were iu pursuit of him, made
good bis escape, and has has not been heard
of since. Tbe funeral took place ouSaturday.
He was 23 years of age.

Tim New Method of Outainino Sii.k. It
appears from tho Indian journals that some
slight uotice has been taken of an Italian dis
covery, already practically and extensively
carried out in France aud Syria, for obtaining
silk, al a most moderate cost, direct from tbu
the bark of tbo mulberry lice, and for conver
ting the bulky rcsiduo after tho sillc has been
extricated, into a pulp suited better than most
materials for the manufacture of paper. This
process bas been secured by patent iu Eng
land aud France, and by an imperial firman in
Turkey ; and it is said that steps ure about to
be adopted for taking advantage of an exten
sion of the patent laws in India, to secure tbo
right of the process to tho discoverers, and to
work it in that couutry. Iu Bengal aloue
millions of mulberry plants, which would yield
to'js or silk and pulp, ure now next to throw
away that is employed as Gre wood, because
no other use has hitherto been found Tor thorn.
Tbeie is nothing peculiar in the bark of the
mulberry tree. It is the cbemicul process in
the stomach of tbo silkworm, aod the subse
quent fine spinning, that makes the silk.
Given these, silk muy be produced from any
fibre that can be got of sufficient strength.
Some fibres aro btter than ot ers, but ol these
the best is not that obtained from the bark of
tbo mulberry tree. At present the silkworm
is the most experieuced chemist, and the
cheapest dresser and sp'.nner of 'lino numbers'
yet occupied in the manufacture and spinning
ol silk from bore, which il uuds readiest 0! tuo
right quality in the leaf of the mulberry tree.

Washington, April 17. The mail from
New Orleans and all points South, as late

we read that the Supreme Government of
Mexico bad withdrawu the exequatur of the
Consuls of the Uuitcd States, Spaiu, aud
Hamburg tho cause of being alleged to be
tbeir zeul in sympathizing with tbo opposi
tion. Senor Coovas, in a cote to Minister For
syth, says that Cousuls will cot be permitted
to interfere iu the internal politics of tbe
country. Tho long address from Santa Anna
dated St. Thomas, is published in a supple
ment to IU Progresse, of the 4th instant.
'1 ampico correspondence of the 31st March
says that Garza claims tho right to prevent
ail vessels outward bound from proceeding to

rican schooner Virginia Antoinette. She
was still detained, aud her cargo of fruit lost.
The Geo. E. Prescolt was detained by the

The steamship Africa, with Liverpool dates

The Atlantic Telegraph Cable was being
taken on board the Niagara and Agamemnon
very rapidly, and it was expected that tbe
work will be finished about the lOib of May.
Some deep tea experiments will be made be
fore tbe final attempt. Tbe paddlo steamer
Uorgon has been ordered to attend the Aga
memnon. Capt. Preedy com meads tbe Aga
memnon. It is intended that the two vessels which
art to be completely ready by tbo end of May,
shall, before commencing to lay tbe cable pro
ceed to sea, and iu tbe deep water about
3000 miles from tbo Irish coast, rehearso a
series of experiments in paying out aud in
hauling in, and put to a practical test several
suggestions and appliances that have been
proposed by various ingenious persons. The
two ship will, then return to England and re
port progress ; and should tbe experiments
show that improvements or alteration is de
sirable, there will be time to gel it effected so
as to enable the expedition to make their fi
nal start at the most favorable timo of the
year.
