ns rrrok and nmi quarrel.
„ The city is still agitated with various rumors
toth»*9ect that Mr. Pryor had disclaimed his
■eoaod'e action in rejecting Mr. Potter’s terms,
and had addressed Mr, Potter another note, of
fcrinjt W accept his proposition, which was not
delivered under the advice of Mr. Pryor’s friends
to Whom the message was alleged to have been
Communicated. Another is that Mr. Pryor had
signified his willingness to meet Mr. Potter in
common combat, with such arms as either might
•boose, outside the frequented walks.
These rumors have Its yet no foundation in
fact, whatever purpose may be entertained.—
They doubtless led to the arrest of Mr. Putter
yesterday morning. Mr.'Pryor has not been
Held to bail, and does not intend to put himself
immediately within reach of the authorities
He was in the city, at the Kirkwood House, on
’ Friday night, in company with Messrs. Miles
and Keitt.
Mr. Potter had arranged a fortnight ago to
go home this week, but will remain in conse
quence of these reports. His friends do not
purpose to publish the correspondence now, as
the main facts are understood by the public.—
They are, however, perfectly willing the other
•ide should. Col. Lander called upon Mr.
Keitt on Friday night to understand whether
his presence as the second of Mr. Putter was
any longer desired in connection with this af
fair, and was courteously assured it was not.
Many of Mr. Pryor’s personal and political
friends entertain the opinion that he unneces
sarily pressed this quarrel on Mr. Potter, and
baring assumed an attitude in the House, which
was followed up by a peremptory challenge, he
was bound to accept any weapon that was pro
posed. Oihers sustained his course throughout,
but obviously against the current of opinion.
A Slavs Mother. — ‘'Occasional” the Wash
ington correspondent of tbs Philadelphia Press
thus relates an incident of slave life at the me
t ropolis of the land «f the free:—
One of those cases which awaken the sym
pathy of all men came to my knowledge the
•ther day, and it is of bo interesting a character
that I cannot refrain giving it to the world.—
An estimable Colored man, well known in Wash
ington called upon me on Monday, with tears
In hi« eyes and said:—“l have bad news to tell
jftU. - My wife with whom I have lived hap
pily for twenty years, was sold by her master
on the 19th, of March, and is now in the slave
pen at Alaiander, and will he sent by the slave*
trader to'tAe extreme South unless I can raise
$3OO by Saturday to buy her back to my bosom,
end give ro our poor children their .faithful and
devoted mother. We have had eleven children,
nf whom seven are now alive.” On inquiry, I
found that the woman was an honest and trust
worthy servant and 1 knew her husband to be
one of the best fellows of his race. A subscrip
tion was immediately started, and I hope we
•h ill be enabled to rescue her from her impen
ding doom. I am not disposed to enter into an
argument against Slavery, but is it not a galling
reflection, that here in the District of Columbia,
lhi« infernal traffic in human flesh is caried on,
and that a «I»ve-pen within sight
of the Washington Monument?
r. Fort Brothers Burked to Death.—A most
4Utrft**ing calamity occurred in Clarion county
pn Monday night. It appears that shortly after
lha family of Mr. Rhodes, a farmer residing in
Knox township, retired to rest, the dwelling was
discovered to be on fire. Mr. Rhodes was ab
sent at the time, and bis wife having been
awakened by the heat, rushed out of the bouse,
and called upon her children to follow. Find
ing they made no reply, she hurled stones
through the w indow of the apartment in which
they slept, in-hopes that she might, in this way,
bring them to a sense of peril. The poor
woman's efforts, however, met with no response,
and her four sons, one almost full grown, who
occupied the room, perished in the flames. It
it supposed that at the time she left the house
the smoko was so dense up stairs as to Biiffo
cate the boys in their beds—otherwise her cries
would have alarmed them. The conduct of
Mrs. Rhodes on the occasion ia spoken of in
terms of unqualified admiration
Besides the boys up stairs, she had five lit
tle ones, who slept on the first floor, to
take care of, and through she periled her own
life.to effect it, she succeeded in bringing them
tin safety from the burning building.
Rbtirinu Stats Senators. —The Senatorial
terms of the following gentlemen expired with
the late session of the legislature ;
Shaeffer and Baldwin, of Lancaster;
Rutherford, of Dauphin and Lebanon ;
Francis, of Lawrence, Mercer and Venango:
Keller, of Snyder, Northumberland, Montour
tad Columbia;
Bell, of Chester and Delaware;
Marselis, of Philadelphia ;
Turney, of Westmoreland and Fayette ;
Miller, of Washington and Greene ;
Craig, of Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne;
"Schell, of Somerset, Bedford, Huntingdon;
The four first named belong to our party;
the seven last named are “Democrats. 1 *
At least two Senators can be gained next fall,
is place of Messrs. Bell and Schell, and there is
a good chance for four. This is important, as
a United States Senator is to he elected in place
of Bigler, who we hope and trust will receive
bis “walking papers,” and be succeeded by a
man who will represent the interests of the
people of Pensylvania and not the behests of a
corrupt Administration. —Lancaster Union.
The Great Drawback to persons emigrating l
ta the extreme south and western country, is
the fear they have of the Fever and Ague—the
most direful of all diseases. Every day we hear
of persons attacked by this disease and made
helpless in a short time, without any means of
affording relief* In view of the great demand
for a remedv, Dr. Sostetter has presented his
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS, whose
ourative powers for all diseases of the stomach
hare been universally acknowledged. The
Bitters prepared after a long experience and
deep study, have received the enconiums of the
most eminent physicians, as Well as all classes
from every part'of our country. To those who
doubt their many virtues, all we can say is to
try thorn, and judge for themselvs respectively.

Tlmisday Morning. April 19,1860.
Republican Slate Nomination.
FOR GOVERNOR.
ANDREW G- CURTIN.
OF CENTRE COUNTY.
Tiik House of Representatives has
passed hy the triumphant vote of 134 yens, to
73 nays, the biH providing for the admission of
Kansas as a State under the free Constitution
framed at Wyandot last summer, only three
northern men, Messrs. Scott, English, and Sick
les voting in the negative. Three, Southern
men went for it. Last year the S.juth sustained
the admission of Kansas with a Slave Consti
tution. This year it resists its admission with u
free constitution.
The Third Party.
We publish in our advertising columns, the
“Call” of the "Constitutional Union Party”
for a State Convention at Lancaster next week.
This’card was sent 1 1 'us to insert for three
weeks with a polite request from Mr. K. C.
Pechin of Philadelphia—who is, no doubt, a
shining light of the bar of that city—to send
him our bill for the same. We hare therefore
sent it, and if we get ihe money, we shall be
astonished as well as satisfied.
It in not our present intention to notice the
propositions embraced in the call. As in 1856,
the Mulatto Democracy feel that without a
third party movement they have -no hope of
dividing the Opposition to them in this State.
In and around Philadelphia there are a few
hundreds of old fossilized Whigs and Native
Americans, who despise the Democracy too
much to vote directly with them, and are too
ignorant or prejudiced to join the Republicans.
Itjis to place Ibis class of voters in indirect an
tagonism to the parly of Freedom, that has
made the Democracy secure the services of such
political gamblers as this E. C. Pechin to set
up a third party with such an impossible plat
form as the one stated in their advertisement;
and we have no doubt that the fund which
pays the salary of such political pimps as
Pechin, and pays the expenses of advertising
in the country papers is furnished hy_the Slum
ucracy. It was only a few weeks ago that the
Alexandria (Va.) Gazette made the suggestion
pointedly and frankly. The editor of that
sheet savs :
"It is getting to be pretty evident tbnt the Northern
Opposition cannot be broken down by the Democratic
urgumzutiuu nlone, thcrelure we urge ihc lormauou of
a third party to do the work, imd thus let the X>euio
crutd into power lor another lour years.”
• So it seems that in order tu succeed, the
Shams are willing to go snucks with these pat
riots of the Constitutional Union persuasion,
and pay them beforehand for their labor be
sides We are sorry to say, Mr. Pechin, that
your money for our advertisement has been
thrown away. If we hear of any body who,
wants to go to your Convention we will let you
know, so that you can meet him with a life and
drum. Courage, Pechin I Don’t dispair. if
there are do political nincompoops in Tioga
County, you may find some in Philadelphia tu
keep you company at Lancaster !
The Hew JaiL
! We hare spoken heretofore in these columns
of the character of the present county Jail; of
. the want of utility in its construction, and of
'.the badly secured and poorly ventilated cells,
which everybody who has examined them lias
: pronounced an intolerable nuisance. Because
■ a man is unfortunate enough to rob a heu-roost
I or commit any other crime against society, it is
| no reason why ho should be gradually murdered
j by being placed in this foul and offensive den,
i the imprisonment itself being all that the law
; intends. Wc learn therefore with pleasure that
| the county Commissioners have concluded to'
erect in this village during the coming summer,
a new jail and residence for the Sheriff, thus
not only affording a humane and properly con
structed prison., but leaving that pprtion of the
Court House now occupied by the Sheriff for
public purposes for which it is so much needed.
If the county Commissioners build according
to the pi ins now before them, we shall have a
prison which cannot be surpassed in style, util
ity, convenience, ventilation, cleanliness and
consequently healtlifulncss ; one in short which
will be fully up to the spirit of the age. Amanj
who commits an offence against the well being i
of society upon conviction thereof, forfeits for a
given time commensurate with the nature of
the crime, his right to personal liberty.- The
modern idea of such punishment dues not con
template physical suffering as a part of the
punishment so inflicted. This idea belongs to
the last century. The present generation has,
happily, a higher idea of the value of human
life, and broader ideas of the ends and aims of
'punishment than bad the last. The now jail
(if the plan we have seen be adopted,) will be
50 by 75 feet to the extreme points on the
l ground, and two full stories in height. The
front portion is for the residence, and the rear
j for the prison. The oells are to be so oonscruc
-1 ted as to be entirely detached from the exterior
walls, having a hall of six feet in width all
around them, ami are to be entirely above
l ground. They are to bo warmed with furnaces
and properly ventelated.
No description of ours can convey a correct
idea of the building, and to fully understand it
une must see the plans. The exterior walls are
to be of brick and the cells are to be construc
ted of stone. The style adopted is the old Nor
man, so well adapted to that description of
| building. No better arrangement can easily
j be conceived, and we sincerely hope the Com
! missionets wilt proceed at once to tbi erection,
1 If jails can properly bo said to be a credit to
any county, we are satislied that the use pro-
( ptMd-wiU be * credit to owe.

Susquehanna, to elect four delegates to repre
sent this Congressional District in the Chicago

Mount Vernon again. —More Money Wanted.
—Although the Ladies’ Association have fairly
obtained possession of Mount Vernon, their
financial troubles hare notended. The Regent
appeals for $l-10.000, the interest of which sum
is to go For the maintenance of the place. The
ladies writes;
Practical men whom I have consulted on the
subject, estimate that it will coat from SB.OOO to
$lO,OOO, annually, to cover the expenses which
must be incurred if Mount Vernon is to be kept
in repair and proved with a force sufficient to
protect and pro-erve the limine aud grounds in
security and good order worthy their future
national position. Of this sum, the annual
receipts from visitois may furnish $1,500 to
$2,000. although those of the past year only
amounted to $1,228.25; but the remainder can
not be safely relied on, except from a principal
invested so as to yield the requisite interest.
A Senator Caned.— The Senator from the
Bradford district, Mr. Landgn; was handsnmly
caned in his private room at the Jones House,
yesterday afternoon, by one of his fellow Sena*
tors, Mr. Ketcham, of Luzerne, in presence of
several mutual friends. The last named gentle
man, in token of Ids high appreciation of Mr.
Landon, as a man and a Senator, presented
him with a magnificent silver-mounted ebony
cane, accompanying the preset.t ition with a wel •
timed, chaste and eloquent address, to which
the recipient taken entirely by supprise, made
an appropriate response. We can assure the
constituents **if Mr. Lindon that the caning
bestowed upon him by Mr, Ketcham was richly
merited. We would not object to similar treat
ment at the hands of some appreciative friend.

For tli« Agitator.
Shall W 6 do our Duty? *
an exciting presidential campaign
daivnqupon us. Pour years have passed rap
idly away, and the freemen of these United
States must decide who shall again rule over
them, 'in this brief article, i shall not attempt
to argue the claims of either political party.—
The following is only for the eyes of Republi
cans. Therefore my Democratic fellow citizens
will, upon mo, confer a favor by not perusing
it. But to the earnest, working Republicans of
Tioga county I would say a few words.
It is conceded upon all hands, that the oppo
sition elements compose a good fair majority.
The administration composes only a hopeless
minority, but that by rio means proves the suc
cess of the Republican party. Many seem to
think that victory has already perched upon
our banner, and that we have only to count up
the votes in November. They believe that the
Democratic party cannot be united. That
Squatter Sovereignty and a Territorial Slave
Code cannot be put upon a common platform,
that Douglas and Toombs will never more strike
hands together, but such in my opinion will be
found grandly mistaken. Look at the late
elections in Connecticut. Did they not unite?
Was there any difference in the votes ofDoug
las or Administration Democrats? Of Course
not! Still tiie result shows that though they
are strong, we are stronger. That concentrated
action can insure success. But Republicans
that only talk, are not the kind needed. Tin*
Democratic party will never do anything by
which they will lose the spoils of office. Do
you suppose that any scruples of conscience
will disorganize them, if by so doing they would
lose the reins of government For the next four
years ? Gentlemen, do not be deceived. The
Democratic party will, if anything, be united
more firmly than ever. To them'it is a death
struggle. They understand they have a strong
foe to meet. All of their forces, accordingly,
will be in the field. More than that. They are
in possession of all the patronage of the gov
ernment. Money of any amount can be raised,
if needed to carry elections. Have you read
the evidence before Haskin’s Committee? If
not, get it by all means. In our own State they
scatter their money the most profusely. They
consider Pennsylvania to be the battle ground.
In view of all these, is it not evident that if this
State is saved to freedom her friends must be
active. Reposing upon past uctor.es will never
answer. Work is needed. Every thing should
not be put off until the eleventh hour. Now is
the time to convince men. By, and by, they
will bo more excited. When their minds be
come heated, in a measure, they are lost to rea
son. One Dollar expended now in the purchase
of documents will benefit the cause more than
ten expended in September. We should bear
in mind that the way this State goes, so goes
the Union. The success of right in the Com
ing struggle depends upon the freemen of Penn
sylvania. Reueuber that one vote gained in
Tioga County will count as much as one
gained in Old Berks.
fu 1856 our little county done nobly. She
exceeded far the expectations of the most san
guine friends of Fremont. Reader, do you
know a man who voted against Buchanan in
'56 that would vote for him now ? In my opin
ion our cause has not went backward since then.
Still there are fields of labor here. It will never
do to leave the work to he fought by Standing
Committees. Every Republican himself should
bo u committee of Vigilance. * Every man
should act. If we do our duty. Tioga can
give 3000 majority for our nominee. But if
every man depends uponliis neighbor, you can
easily imagine the result. J, B. N.
Sakurioti of County Superintendents.
There has been much misapprehension and
controversy among the people as to the fund
out of which the County Superintendents are
paid. The March No. of the School Journal,
page 2G2, contains the following official commu
nication, which is conclusive, viz., “The Sala
ries of County Superintendents have always
been paid out of the general fund, and not out
of the school appropriation to the particular
county. The last two lines of the 39th section
of the act of 1854, were considered by Mr.
Black then State Superintendent, as incompat
ible with the general purpose of the act, and"
were accordingly administered practically as ;
above stated. This practice has repeatedly’
been confirmed and sanctioned by law as will
be seen by reference to the appropriation bills
of several years past.”
The people have been made to believe that
the pay of the County Superintendents came
out of the money the Slate bad appropriated to
the schools, and that it causes additional taxa
tion. In fact, the converse is true. Previous
to the act of 1854, the citizens of the county
paid a three mills State lax, whereas they now
pay but two and a half mills in the form of
Stale tax. This reduction is easily accounted
for. Large sums of money worn, previously
improperly laid out every year on geological
surveys, absurd investigating committees &c.,
which are now employed in the payment of the
County Superintendents. When it is remem
bered that the object of the office is to benefit
the schools, and thereby the people, one can
hardly see why objections should be made to
this appropriation of an heretofore wasted
fund. And when it is known, too, that no re
duction of the three mills State tax could have
taken place, had the office not been created, and
that, this county would have been required to
pay just as much in the shape of taxes, without
as with the County Superintendency, it is a
little singular that any one should object to it
on the score of taxation. B.
Some time ago an ancient young lady of St.

that big plaster. Poor old “gel I”
A motion to invite the Prince of Wales to visit

i New Yore, April 12th* 1860.
Mfc. Editor :—Having become the owner of
the grant original Painting known aa Peale’s
Court or Death —a painting which haa ‘ong
been valued at $25,000—1 have had it engraved
in the highest style of the Chromo-Lithographic
Art The work was executed by Sarony, Major
and Knapp, of this city, and is acknowledged
to lie the finest specimen of that style of engra
ving ever issued in this country. The size is
large, being 23 by 31 inches.
It is executed on Six Plates, which, by being
printed in successive Oil Colors , produces a
perfect tfac-Simile of the Original Painting, in
its soft and mellotf tints, rich coloring, and
beautiful .perspective.-
On showing the Picture to Mr.. Peale, the
venerable Artist,- now in the 83d year of his
age, be gave mo the following certificate:
I have seen the Chromo-Lithographic Engraving of
my Painting of the the Court of Death, recently exe
cuted .for Dr. G. Q. Colton, (the present proprietor,)
by Sarony, Major and Knapp, of New York, and can
certify that it is an accurate and admirable copy of
the Original Painting.
The price of similar engravings in this city
varies from $5 to $lO, —nothing of the kind
can be bought for less than $5. Only about
5000 copies of any engraving which costs $5
can be sold ; and thiq p »ya but a fair profit af
ter the expense of p;lper, printing, and getting
up the plates. The main expense is not in the
paper and printing, but in the plates.
Now, in the sale of the Engravings of the
•‘Court of Death’ 1 1 have adopted an entirely
new principle, ln>tead of selling 5000 copies
at $5 eachj I propose to sell 100,000 Copies at
§1 each.
My friends tell me it is a hazardous underta
king; but the success which has attended the
enterprise fur the past four months is a guar
antee that my expectations will he realized.—
The simple reason why so few fine engravings
and pictures are found in the parlors through
out the country is because they are so expen
sive. If the plan which 1 have adopted suc
ceeds (of which 1 have no doubt,) I shall do a
service to the dealers in and purchasers of such
works.
The Court of Death is a sermon on canvas—
a discourse upon Life and Death. It contains
23 life-size figures, on a canvas covering 312
square feet, being 24 feet long by 13 wide.—
Death is not represented in the form of a skele
ton, but as a Monarch or King, shrouded in ob
scurity. The Painting is intended to represent
the presence aful power of Death; the uncer
tainty of hjmhn life; War and its attendant
evils, Famine, Pestilence, Conflagration, the
Slain Victim, and the Widow and Orphan ; In
temperance, and the charms and temptations of
Worldly Pleasure, Remorse, Delirium, Suicide;
also, Consumption, Fever, Apoplexy, Ilypochm -
dria, and, lastly, the Triumphs of Virtue, Re
ligion, and Christian Faith over the terrors of
Death.
On viewing the Painting many yetrs since,
the Hon. Millard Fillmore wrote to Hon. B.
Storer, of Cincinnati, as follows: “X confess I
have been greatly pleased with this splendid
specimen of American Genius, and cannot
doubt that all persons of will be glad to
have an opportunity of seeing so eminent a
work.”
The Painting has been made the sulject of
special discour. e by Rev. Dr. Sprague, Rev.
Dr. Welch. Rev. Dr. Bacon, Rev. Dr. Cleveland,
Kev. Dr Wuyland, and others.
Bach purchased of an Engraving will receive
a numbered constituting the bolder
a proprietor in the Original Painting, worth
$25,000, and entitled to one Share in its final
distribution, tu be made as soon as the 100,000
Engravings are sold.
As the reader does not know me, I shall be
excused for quoting what the New York Obser
ver (edited by Rev. Dr. Prime) says of the En
graving and of me in the issue of N«»v. 24th,
1859: “A new and really beautiful Engraving
of tins celebrated picture. It is widely known
as one of the greatest ahd best productions trf
American Art. No printed description can fully
realize the conceptions of the Artist, or come
up to the requirements of the imagination in its
study. Mr. Colton is a responsible man,-and
our friends may feel safe in sending their mon
ey for his picture:”' A full description is sent
with each Engraving.
On the receipt, by mail, of §l, and 4 letter
stamps, (to pay postage,) I will forward the
Engraving, rolled in a strong paate-boafd case;
of Six Copies for $5, without postage. Any
one can easily obtain a copy gratis by obtaining
