There is no doubt of the election of Par
sons. " Buckshot and Ball" are making
' terrible work in the whig ranks; Slaying
their thousands.
The house of representatives has appoint
ed a coinmittae to investigate the causes
which led to the late disturbances at the scat
"of government.
Tho Montreal Herald of the 2d inst. says:
We understand that the lllh Regiment has
received orders to proceed immediately to
New Brunswick, and that two or three re
giments will follow with tho least possible
'delay.

Jail Delivery. We leain from the Ann
Arbor, Mich. Argils that one of the prison
'ers confined in the jail in that village, cal
led to the jailer, and informed him that he
need not prepare breakfast for as many as
usual for some of his boarders liad decamp
ed during the night. Upon an examination,
It was found that seven out of ten of the
prisoners had escaped. They effected their
escape by cutting a hole through the floor,
' cutting away twd of tho sleepers, a portion
of the sill, and removing a quantity of hard
frozen earth.
Wc learn from the Southern Star of the
28th ult. tliat a few days previous an attempt
was made by a negro in Gopiah county,
Miss, to poison tho family of his master,
Mr.'W. Millaspa. It appears from the con
fessions of the negro, that lie had purchas
ed'at Port Gibson a few weeks previous,
"an ounce of arsenic, which he brought home
and put into tho coffee which was prepar
ed for the family. There proved to be too
rinuch arsenic in proportion to the quantity
'of coffee, which is the only reasoii why it
did not prove futal to tho whole family.
Tho negro has been apprehended, and if!
tnowMnj&il to await his trial.
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.
Mr. Joseph Miller, of Loyalsork town
ship, was drovncd on Saturday last, while
Engaged In floating logs down the Loyal
'sock creek to a saw mill about ten miles a
'tbove its moutlh Mr. Mi had directed ihc
hands engaged with him to go to dinner,
and stated that as his feet were already wet,
lie wouid get off some logs that had lodged
upon a rapid, before lie went. When they
returned, they found him under one of the
logs. It is supposed that he had gone be
low tho log to pry It oil", and that having
wung suddenly around it knocked him
down and rolled upon him, where it lodged;
Mr. M. had, eleven doys previous, been
"married to n daughter of Mr, Alexander
Sloan, of Williamsport. Her feolings, and
Yhose of his aged parents, with whom he
resided, can bo belter imagined than doscri
hedMuncy Tdcgratfn
Iowa Territory.' -GoV. Lllcas and lliu
Secretary of tlio Territory, Wm. B. Coll
Way, I'ormcly Editor of tlio Pittsburg Man
ufacturer have had a 'regular 'epistolary
quarrel; and thb way the latter talks to the
Governor is curious. Then again, tho Gov
ernor and the Legislature arc at loggerheads
and a memorial has been passed praying
Congress to remove Governor Lucas from
office". Thb memorial alleges .giavo char

From tho United Stiles Gazette.
LATEST FROM THE EAST.
Important and U'arlikc from Nova Sco
tia. Wo are Indebted to tho Editor of tho Bos
ton Atlas for an extra of his paper, con
taining Intelligence frbm Hallifax, (Nova
Scotia,) to tho 27th February.
Tho Halifax papers mention tho distur
bance:! on the line as leading almost certain
ly to a war between the UnitcdStafe's and
Great Britain. Thb Legislature of Nova
Scotia met on tho 20th, on the receipt of
the news from the borders, and voted a sum
of one hundred thousand pounds to bu at
tile disposal of the Government to raise
men to go to the aid of New Brnuswick,
and r.ioiiT tiiousaxd men were to be im
mediately raised.
This vole was followed by loud and hear
ty cheering.
The Nova Scotia Gazelle says Hover be
fore was such an animated scene witnessed
never such cheers heard in our House of
Assembly.
Tho papers of the Province arc in ear
nest for a contest. The Assembly passed
spirited Resolutions offering one third of
tho militia to the Goverilor, and empower
ing hirh1 to fill lip by draft if necessary
and assuring suitable provisions for tho fam
ilies of those, who shall go to the contest
and to soldiers extra pay beyond that al
lowed by the Governor encouraged to im
mediate action, the General Assembly and
tho audience in the gallery joined iii three
cheers.
The Legislative Council concurred in the
act of tho Assembly, and the (Lieutenant)
Governor approved of the whole proceed
ings. Our minister at Vienna. A letter from
Mr. Muhlcnburg says: "I have had my
solemn audience with the Emperor as they
call it here it was conducted with a good
deal of ridmp and ceremony. I have also
been presented to the Empres3, the Em
press's mother, and the brothers and uncles
of the Emperor. Euch had their separate
courts, women as well as men, each their
grand master of cetemonies, and each must
be waited on separately In lull dress. They
all received me with great kindness and at
tention, and I have every reason to bo picas
ed with my reception. Prince Mcttornich,
tne I'nme Minister, is very polite, anil so
are the members of tho corps diplomatique
all arc greatly pleased and surprised at
my German. 1 lie truth is, I sneak it as
well as the best of them; the Vienna dia
lect is worse than any you have in America."
Anecdote. A traveller upon one of tho
Jersey roads, ditrlng the wetseasdri, paid his
tare uelorc starting. J. he roaus wa3 very
heavy and full of deep holes, that made it
uiflcnlt for a vehicle to proceed. Alter haV
ing gone some distance, the wheels of tho
static suddenly dropped into one of these'
ugly places, and the driver requested his pas
sengcr to alight and assist him in getting
tho vehicle forward. Ho acquiesced and
obtained a fence rail and pried up one of the
wheels from, its embeucu situation-
" I guess," said the driver, 'you mought
as well brintr that ere rail with you there s
another hole here ahead.'
So the traveller, with a heavy rail on his
shoulder, trudged aIon on foot. 11c re
lieved the wheel again, and Was attempting
to resume his scat in tho stage, when tne
driver observed, ' I'm not sure there isn't
another hole some distance off I guess
you'd belter bring that rail along with you;
as tho road is deep and muddy, bring it on
loot."
" Look hero,' said the traveller, at length
provoked at this palpable imposition upoii
good nature ,' I paid my passage I've
not much objection to walk but to walk
and carry this rail on my shoulder too I'll
see you damned first."
Precautionary. Tho U. States Sloop
of War Concord, has been ordered to sea
forthwith by despatches received this mom
ing, ris we arc informed by an officer of the
Navy. Her destination is not staled, but
it probably is to be on tho Eastern station
to pievcnt any depredation from British
ships upon the coast ol Maine.
