.that the old rascal was left off ton easy and he ought to be set up as a target to ha shot at. Seine were for tarring and feathering him, but others took his prt, and said he __had_acted manfully, and that alter capitate ting with him, they were bound by every thing that was sacred, to trent hint honora bly: At length they got to fighting among themselves, After this it was proposed and carried, that they should march off, right away to Ben Wells, of Fayette county, the excise officer there and catch and try him and Regan both together. They set out ac cordingly taking Regan along but when they arrived at Wells! house, he was not there, so they set fire to it and burned it withall its contents. They left for an ambush near the ruins, in order, if they could, to. Seize upon Wells. Mixt morning he was • taken, but during the night, as Regan had -escapeck-and—Wells—was-very—submissive with them, they left him oil Without furth er molestation. The next attack was made on Captain Webster, of Stoystown, the excise officer for Somerset county by about one hutalpql and fifty Inert from Westmoreland. They took - his commission from hint, and made him promise never again to act as collector ofnxcise. An attempt wits made by some of the party to fire his haystacks, but it was prevented by others of them before any in• jury was done. They marched off home wards, taking - Webster a few miles along Smith - therilond seeing him very submissive '.they oMite4.hitn to mount the stump, and repeat his PrOinise7lieyer again to act as collector of excise, and to'hlrrrett three limps for Tom the Tinker, after whialr , they4lls. missed him. This Torn the Tinker; watstitt new god added to mythology at this tints,- and was suppos-d to pr,sitht over whiskey.' stills and still.houses. 11 hoot., r horri - we] stoutly for Tom and Tinker. was of unques- tionable loyalty with the whiskey boys; whilst those who would not wt- brandtrd -traitors to this new deity, and to their coon. try. Aflairs now arrived at such a crisis. that either the Government or the people must submit, and for the Government to have. done so, under the circumstances, would have been an end of Government. Nothing now could restore order but the strong man of the nation. The President called out the militia from the eastern ',art of Penesylvu• nia, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginin.— Upwards of five thousand men, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and a few companies of Artillery, promptly obeyed the call of the President. The Pennsylrania and Nets' Jersey troops came through Somerset, and 'halted in three divisions, on this side of the Chesnut Ridge. The advance division came on to where this town now stands the second division remained at Lobinger's Mills. They remained in their encamp ments for the space of eigl t days; duling which time the cavalry, conducted by the excise officers, were out scourintr the coun try for whiskey buys. But chiefly all those who had taken en active part in the late in surrectionary movements, had either& d or secreted themselves, eo that few could be found ; 1 believe rot more than one or two. The part of the army in tho nekrhhe r he e d then struck their terns end marched to the forks of the Yough, iu Washineion county, where they were met by the Alaryland and Virginia troops who had ccmo up through Cumberland nod Uniontrwn, AV i ilst there a few more of the insurgents were teken. The precise number I do not free, inLei,. but I think about fifteen. A. proclamation was then issued calling on all persons, a few names only. excepted, to come forward at a certain time and place and accept ofn general amnesty for all past offences. This was generally acceded to by those who had taken an active part' - n the late illegal movements. The.command ing officers having now full assurance that the citizens would submit to:the laws, and no longer resist the collectrirs, proposed to the citizens that, if one or more militia com panies in each county, would pledge them selves to the Government to su pport the constitution and laws when called upon, they would remove the army from nmut•,grt them. This proposition was &telly ac ceded to, for the citizens were heartily tired of them, a*l the officers and men were very nnxious to return borne. I (ho not remember how many companies pledgt d themselves to support thr him., but our of the Westmoreland commutes that did so I 'had the honor of commanding myself. The army came here to the best of my recollec tion, some time in October, 111/4, and left about the latter end of November. The excise officers resurmd their duties, and met with no further• opposition. The prisioners were taken to Philadelphia, which was then the seat of the general govern ment.tinder the administration of President Washington, and there, in order to expose them and mortify their feelings, they Were marched through some of the principal streets, with. white papers stuck upon their hats. They were afterwards tried in the Federal Court ; two only were convicted and sentenced to be hanged ; the one fi n • treason and the other for intercepting and breaking open the U. S. mail for the purpose of as certaining what steps the Government were about to take relative to the lave. The eth ers were acquitted; and those convict: !I were pardoned and discharged. Thus ended this folly and madness, into which the citizens had been led by a few hot headed, aspiring political demagogues, who bad raised their spirits to such a height, as nt one time to threaten ruin to the country. Now, fellow citizens, I presume that ma ny of you wish to know what part I took in •the unhappy affitir. I confess frankly that it was with reluctance I remained a neu tral spectator. Had it not been for the good advice of my venerable hither, whose coun 7 eel I followed, rather than my own incline tion,l should have most likely taken an active part with those who were outraging the laws of their country. Through his instu mentality, I was fortunately saved from a course of conduct, that must on refleCtion, forever after have given me uneasiness. It Wes shortly .before this time ant 'the Jew: bin spirit hnd overthrown the French Gov ernment, and drenched the nation in blood ; and many good and reflecting men began to fear that under the spurious names of democracy and liberty, the same evil spirit was about to take possession of our people.

The - Whig - Part "The Whig Pafiy only exists in History."— So said the Incofoco papers after the late Pres. idential election, and some of them say now ihat it is totally demolished. But what are the lasts? Since the Presidential election there have taken place elections in Massachusetts, Delaware and Kentucky. In Massachusetts Scott's majority was 7,000, while at the late State election, Clifford, the Whig candidate for Governor had 21,000 majority—a gain of 14,000 votes in one week. In Delaware the Whigs car ried both the Legislature and Convention by de ekive majdri!ies, where a few weeks before Pierce carried the State. In Kentucky, Preston, Whig, has been elected to Congress,by at least 1500 majority, in the Louisville district, which tew-wheks before gave Pierre a majority.— Sorely, if these things are nay "signs of the .I.iin t elq" the Whig party is still alive and "kick - Vrgdoo.7..

It is supposed that ho was under the influence of liquor at the time, as he was strongly addicted to its use, lie leaves a wile and one child to mourn his JOSS. Another Accident. On monday afternoon a man named John Zrl tiemo!!rr, of Albany township, Bet ks county, re. turni:ig home with a nu oilier of teams loaded with lumber, endeavored to step from his wagon etdag down ..Gricsemer's about one mile from town—his font slipedand he toll, the.wagon passing over one of hiskgs, which caused a an. rious fracture. Medical aid was immediately procured, and,the i next day he was taken home in a light conveyance, This being the second time he has fractured his leg. Melancholy Occurrence. rWe learn that on Saturday last, a very.melan ebony accident occurred at the Pierce and King festival in Bethlehem. Mr. John Roth and Wit Rant Bush, were engaged in firing a cannon. Tho one nt the touch hole took away his thumb, while the other was ramming down the cartridge which caused a premature discharge, injuring both in a shocking manner. Roth had both his arms shot away, his eyes blown from their sockets, and his lower jawbone fractured, he died the night fol lowing. Bush had his left hand blown away, and otherwise badly juju; ed. Il ls hand was am puilimed immediately and we are informed is do. tag weil, The celebration was immediately post pourd. Snow and Sleighing The New York Express says: The snow on ;he line of the Erie Railroad, from Elmira ii ivit, it is said to be deep, especially' on the Cherrning and Sumputhannah. There was a stood deal of snow at Rochester and Canandai atm, on Monday night. Winter is now gener al in the interior. Here it is cool, but no snow. The Albany Journal says PIMe eight or ten inches of rriow fell in Rochester, Syracuse, Ariburn, and Little Falls, on Monday. Thu sleighs were out. Advertising The New Yolk :Sunday Cuuder, in illustration of the benefits of advertising, mentions n very worthy old gentleman. by the.narne of Rattle' burn, who was apprehensive that he had not a single relative in the world. Feeling very lonely and uncomfortable, he published an ud• vertisement desiring all who could claim kin dred with the Raulnborn family to come for ward, as there was a fortune of $150,000 to be divided among them. In less than twenty four hours lie was visited by no less than six atm ts, leurieen uncles, filty ! four nephews, nine ty•three nieces, arid one hundred and forty eight cousins, whom he never imagined to ex ist until they were brought forward by his ad. vertiSerneni. After such a convincing proof of the efficacy of udvortising, sorely no one can ho found to dispute its value to business men. Let those concerned bear the above re meltable fact in omit', and profit by the happy experience of old Mr. Rattleburn. Result.—The Whigs havo carried Ver mont, Massnchusetts, Kentucky and Tennessee making in all 42 electoral votes. The Demo crats have the remainder, unless California should have voted for Scott.

Meeting of Eleotbrs Teo Presidential Electors clin , oti in Penn. sylva , :ia. on the 21 in- tam, meet at Ilartishurg on tho•ftrst Wednesday in December, to give their votes. The Electors in all oilier S.atei: meet at their ro:peetive Suite capitals, on the same day, for a similar purpose. The votes are sent under seal to the Pre-mlent of the Uni. led Statue. Senate, at Washington, and On the 2d of February next, they arc opened in the presence of both [louses of Congress, and the result vaicially declared. President Fi No man, anew the ltichinoml Republican, since the days of George Washington has filled the Presidential chair of this country and rein ed from it, carrying with him mine general and cordial approbation of the manner in which he has administered the uflairs of the govern. aeon, then will Mr. Fillmore. If Franklin fierce au 'unknown man, comes inni power at he head of a tremendous maj frity of the A in or jean people, Millard Fillmore has the still high er credit, after having been well known, and tried in the most. fiery ordeal to which any Pivsident was ever subjected, of resigning his high trust amid the general acclamation of the whole nation Whigs and Democrate—"‘Vefi done goad and faithlul servant." This is the highest, the most enviable, the most sublime portion which any man since ‘Va , hington, has attained. Gen. Pierce may be as true—may be as wise—may be as faithful to the Constitu• lion as Millard Fillmore, but ho will never have an opportunity of showing these qualities under such circumstances as they have been exhibited by the Whig President. Fillmore standing almost alone, faced the blast of (anat. icisin and of section, and, Nerve comes into power on a sea which has been made smooth and peaceful by Fillmore's sellquicrificing pa triotism. But the noble and courageous Pres. ident has his reward. The whole country thanks him with agrateful heart, and her up. probation will be more precious to his Folly and magnanimous spirit that the brightest dia. dam of power. Ready for the Places The Doylestown Intelligencer thinks there seems to be no scarcity of persons ready for office under President Pierce. Even in.Doyles town there are four willing to accept foreign missions. Only ono of thern—Mr. Ros S—call make a show. The Chaptnans, Roberises, Wrights, &o. can leave to remain at home, or go abroad on private account. Thou for the little petty Post Office here there is a .swaitn of anxious applicants. Dr. Harvey, the former incumbent, will no doubt get it. He lies hold of "the right ropes." From all quarters we hear of a similar will• inaness to perforrii service; "for the country." The Harrisburg Telegraph says there are fif teen or twenty applicants for the Post Office there, and new ones appearing every day. Currency The Free Banks of Illinois have already is. stied over a million of dollars. In Indiana, says Thompson's Bank Note Reporter, there are twenty-four Banks organizing, and by the first of January they will have in circulation another million. The Free Bank 'Law of Wis. comin has been approved by the people, and preparatory steps have been taken to start sev eral Banks in that Slate. There is a feeling in Michigan which insures a Free Bank Law the coming session of the Legislature. Several Banks are organizing under the Free Back Laws of Connecticut and Vermont. Pennsylvania, Alarylund and Virginia have each a deep interest in this currency move. meat. Each has a debt which both pride and interest prompts to the adoption of such mea• sures us wr e evate its price. Each has a de• sire or should have to pursue that course which will give its own citizens the benefit of the l currency which they bold. 1t has been sufficiently shown that the Stocks of Indiana and Illinois have been raised ten per cent by the operation of the Free Bank Laws of those States, and the bonds of the city of Hartford are certainly ten per cent higher than they would have been had not Connecti• cut passed a Free Bank• Law, permitting them to be received for circulating notes. A friend says to us, "Every S:a:o that has a debt will foster Free Banking, and the wonder is'ihat any should hang back for a year." Theie is no circumstance that gives so much strength and confidence in a State Stock as the? fact that it is hold by the Banks which are owned by the citizens of the State. Free Bank inglaws Virginia,-Maryland-and-Pennsyk vauia would inevitably elevate the Stock of earth ten per cent, and we would apply the same remark to Alabama, Lutiisiava, Georgia and Missouri. Another argument is—Free Bank currency will pervade the whole Union. Already •citi zens of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Missouri are organizing Free Banks in II!bola and Indiana fur the' express purpose of securing the profits on the circula tion which they give to Bank notes. A hand some tax is paid for the privilege of nominal Banking in one State while the real business is done in another. Gen. Pieroe in Trouble I The N. V. Evening Post, a Locofoce al, gives the following sketch of the indecent Igreediness of its party : "From the very day the election of General Pierce, became reduced to a matter of compar ative certainty, down to the present hour, he has been dogged from city to city, and from village io village , horn his office to his house, from hi: house to his barn, from his barn to his kitchen, by a horde of predatory politicians, determiued, at every sarrilice of con vertioece. or propriety, to make an early impression on his mind of the value of their services in the late eau vase, and to show how largely they eontributed to its anspittiona result. "Some go in committees, some alone, some With letters, some without, some with newspa pets containing reports of poor speeches—such men always :nuke poor speeehe.s—which they had delivered at some little Pedlington hick°. ry pole raising; and sonic with a patent rat' -imp or mammoth pumpkin to present or ex hibit; all eo u on ono pretence or "another, to Concord to sce General Pierce, and all expect him to give them his entire confidence; to tell : h° ' t or ‘ l % : e i t r h , 1 , 1 : 1 1 f . ) . h t 711 l a " s m d t e i 1 1 7 e g r n t t h i ant shallto 'l( select ' f or ht, cabinet, or, it his selection has not been made, to aid him with their disinterested ad , vice. All feel equally at liberty to diseu,s with him the tutees policy of his administra tion and to tell him what course, and what course only, will give satisfaction In the free and independent electors or Mule Pedlitigton. "All these pretences fdr sharing the respon sibilities of General Pierce in theformiition of his Cabinet, and conducting the government after his inauauration, are presented tinder all possible guises but tho truth. Every imagina ble art or device is employed to impose upon hint. No one tells him the truth." The Result Tim New York Evening, Ford, a Democratic Aiiii-Tarifl or Free Trade paper, thus speak', of the recent election : The decision of . the pooplo is 'against any Melees° of duties. Scott avowed himself a protectionist, was supported as a protectionist, and is beaten. Pierce was an acknowledged friend of Free Trade; he was supported by his friends and opposed by his political adversa ries on that ground, and is successful. The contest was conducted in such a manner that there was riot the slightest disposition on either side to conceal or to overlook it. The late election, therefore, is a decided free trade vit.:. tory" A Lucofoen Admission.—Col. John W. Forney wrote a characteristic political letter before the late election, m which he gives the following among other replies to the questien, whose blessings go with the locofoco party in their ef forts to elect Pierce : • tol'he people of the North saved from a Com mercial crises by the Democratic Independent Treasury ,and the Democratic acquisition of Cal: ifornia." It seems from this statement that he is fully satisfied that the Tartfl'of 1846, for which the Locofoco party is responsible, would have brought on a "commercial crisis," and that this anticipated crises was only prevented by the ac quisition of California, or rather the accidental -discovery of California gold. If he meant any thing he must have jneant this, and yet he shouts himself hoarse over the victory of Pierce and Free Trade.

Matthew Rogers, an ex perienced Cornish Mine agent. • The committee of Directors in May, 1852, Report, "that alter comparing the mines of the Company with others, and from their own ex• amination, they believe that when the shafts are stink, the mines will become productive and leave a handsome surplus to be divided among the stockholders." The late agent, Mr. %'heatly, says in that report, "that all per sons acquainted with the milling who have ex. arnined the worki, have expressed astonish ment at the productiveness of the veins, and high produce of the ore obtained. lie quotes Prifessor El. D. Rogers, the eminent Geologist, who also believes that when the veins aro opened to greater length and depth they will be steadily remunerative." Capt. Rogers now in charge, under the da•e of Om. 29th, 1852, says, "neither do I hesitate to say that my opinion is, that by sinking the shafts and ea• teedi,..g the levels the niches will make a last ing and profitable concern." The mines aro now in lull operation at a depth of about 350 or 400 feet. In the Direc tor's Report Ibis year the value of building•, machinery, &0., exclusive of mines, is set down at $65,326 26, capable of very deep working. The Company's property is free of ineumbrance, and it possesses $61;780 of its own stock at par. • 'l•he recent rapid rise of shares in the War wick Copper Mine to $l5, which is in the vi cinity of Perkiomen, and the flattering pros• peels as the above detailed, render this a good chance - for - speculators. The Bale - will - be - pre= emptury. An Eccentric Character.— The Boston Chron icle gives the following, in addition to the par. Oculars already published, relative to John Crofts Coffield, who died in that city on the 28th of Oc. tober, supposed to be worth $200,000 For the last thirty years, this eccentric man has net laid in n bed, except when travelling, he being too miserly to indulge in such ..extrava. gance," as he termed it.. He has made his lodg ings on trunks and boards, and finally died, ly. ing upon a trunk. Three days preceding his death, he purchased a burial lot itt Mount Au• burn. He lived. if living it could be called, in a small shop from the street. He lived a batche. lor, not being willing to marry on account of the expenses incident upon a married life, and drat., ged out his existence as solitary as an oyster.— His meals cost him on an average six and a (Nailer cents, and in payment he generally ten• tered a crossed fourpence. Ile had not proba-' bly taken off his clothes for a year. Avarice shone from his cold, glassy eye, he loved no (Inc anti no one probably loved him. The late Dr. Parkmatt was his friend, and we.; selected as his executor. He was one of the most eccentric and ava Heim's of mortals, and his life, tut ac. count of which we may hereaftet give, was ex ceedinvly interesting.. increased Avcruge Duraron rf Lfe.—Professor Buchanan, in an interesting lecture before the Mechanics Institute of Cincinnati, makes the tol• lowing observations upqn the average duration of life, the effect in part of the medical science. Ile says, that in the latter part of the sixteenth century, one-half of all that were born, died un der five years of age, and the average longevity of the whole population was but eight years. In the seventeenth century, one - half of the popula tion died under twelve. But in the first sixty years of the eighteenth century, one-half of the population lived over twentynieven years. In the latter forty years, one-half exceeded thirty two years of age. At the beginning of the present century, one - half exceeded forty years, and from 1838 to 1845 one half exceeded forty three. The , average longevity of these successive periods has been increased from IS years in the 10th century up to 43 7 by Our last reports. These facts are derived from the medical sla" tir•tics of Geneva. Applied to this country, such an improvement as is here exhibited from 1500 to 1845, would make a variation In our bills of mortality of more than half a million, 1500 deaths Erupion on Me Foce.--Dissolve an ounce of wax, in a quart of water, and apply this every evening before going to bed. This will smooth the skin when the eruptions do not proceed from an insect working under the cuticle. Many per sull's faces are disfigured by red eruptions caus ed by a small creature working under the skin. A very excellent remedy is to take the flour of sulphur and rub It on the, face dry, after wash. ir,g it in the morning, Ruh - it well with your fingers, and then wipe it off with a dry towel.— There are many who are not a little ashamed of their faces who can be completely cured if they follow these directions. Poor Chance for Pritaters.—When Dr. Frank. lin's mother•iii.law first discovered that the young man had a' hankering for her daughter, that good old lady said "she did not know ribout , giving her daughter to a printer; that there were already two printing offices in the United States, and she was not certain the country would sup port them. It was plain that young Franklin would depend for support on the profits of third, and this was a doubtful chance." . . If such an objection was urged to a, would be son-in•lnw when there were but two printing of. aces in the United States, how can a printer hope to get a wife now, when the recent census shows the number to be 1567. Hog Trade.—The Louisville Democrat has the following startling statistics of the swine bnsi. loess of the west: Ohio, in 1850, produced 1,061,780, hogs. Kentucky, du 2,801.183 Illinois do 1,015,919 , • Indiana, do 2.203.778 Tennessee, du 3,114.111 EMII This is coming in pretty s‘trong—half 'a hog to'every man, woman and child in the Union; but it is nothing to what we-are threatened with at tha next census, in 18GO.

I A vet:y important decision affecting the rights of women, was recently decided in . tha Cou,rt of Quarter sessions of Berk!' county. A w if e indicted her husband, says the Gazette, for an Assault and battery, committed under the fol. lowing circumstances: They were returning home together in a wagon, from market—the husband provided with a "pocket pistol" welf loaded, from which he took sundry "swigs," until he became "shot." The wife remonstra ted earnesny against such conduct which rous ed the anger of tier lord, and ho commenced abusing her; whereupon she siezed the rum bottle and threw it out Imo the road. For this, liar brute of a husband beat her. Judge Jones charged the jury that the wife's act of break ing the bottle, did not justify her hut.t me d striking her; that although a wife had no right to destroy the goods and asides of her hus- . band, a rum bottle was an exception ; that a wile was perfectly justifiable in seizing het . husband's rum bottle wherever she could lay her hands on it, and destroying it; and that in' this instance the defendant did no more than' what a sensible woman °light to !mire done.:::: The jury rendered a verdict in accordance with' this sound opinion. hum bottles May tht.tgl: fore from this date be considered without the pale of the law's protection. An Ingenius Fraud.---A young man named J. B. Green was arrested in Washington on Mon. day last, Charged with obtaining money felon (lusty. The Republic says that, having ascer , mined the drawn numbers of one of the State lotteries, he altered an old ticket by substituting figures to conform to them; and this he did so ingeniously as to deceive Messrs. Corse & Co , of Alexandria, Va., who paid him on its presen tation the sum of $2500. Not content with the the raise thus easily made, he came to Washing ton, and by a similar device, obtained from Mr. Daniel Dotvland $212 50. At the first search af ter his arrest but seventy dollars were found up.' on his person, but the second—at the jail—was at• Itended with more success, there having been I found nicely folded in the wastehand of his pan taloons, secured by a pin, four several drafts for the agt regale sum of $2590 which drafts he pro. cured as the Bank of the Old Domin;nn, in Alex-. andria. fie was fully committed on Tuesday to answer. Banking on Slocke.—The free banking law of Wiseonsih will probably be adopted by a large vote of the people. This law authorises the Controller to tithe, under certain limitations, the bonds of the railroad companies of the State as security for bank issues. The only bonds that can be used fur such purpose nt present, are the tilltor cent bonds of the Milwaultie and Misstssip. pi Railroad Company. Railroad bunk are too unstable to base bankinti capital upon. Deldware Eiccan. George R. Riddle, the Democratic member of Congress has been elected by a majority of 57 voles. The Whigs have a majority in the Legida^ I tore which secures a Whig U. S. Senator. The Whigs will also have a majority in the convention to amend the constitution. ' f'hincsn S • cwtp:,per.—ln Pekin a newspaper f extraordinary sir; is publiahed weekly on silk.. ft is said to have been started more than a thou• sand years ago—somewhat earlier than the one under the patronage of the ..Good Queen Bess." An anecdote is related to the effect that, in 1827, a public officer caused some false Intelligence to, be inserted in this newspaper, for which he was • put to death. Several numbers of the paper arc preserved in the Royal Library at Paris. They are ten and a quarter yards long.
