DEMOCRATIC VICTORY..
NEW YORK CITY REDEEMED ! !
The election held in the eity of New
York last week, for City officers, has ter
minated gloriously for tho democratic party.
Varian, (Dcrriocrat) has succeeded over tho
present iucumberit, Clark, (Whig) by a lhu
.jority of upwards of 1000; and the demo
'crats have carried twelve out of the seven
teen wards, and have therefore elected a
large majority of the Common Council.
'I' his is glory chough for one day.
An Alabama Bank. On the 26th ult.
the branch of the State Bank, at Decatur,
had no less than 29,000 specie dollars in its
vaults, while the notes in circulation rcckon
od no less than one million threo hundred
and fifty-five thousand dollars. Oh how
wo banks do swim. .
DR. T. W. DYOTT.
The great notoriety of this individual as
a banker, says the Doylcstown Democrat,
lias given his case much interest; as it is at
present before the public. The creditors
"met on Monday of last week, in public meet
ing, for the purpose or hearing the report
of their attorney, Wm, S. Hirst, Esq. as to
ihe liability of Mr. Ridgway, to pay the
' debts contracted by T. W. Dyotl. Mr.
Hirst read a number of cases to prove that
Mr. Ridgway was liable for the debts, and
reported that his opinion Mr, Ridgway was
liable. After Mr. Hirst had delivered his
opinion, the rriccting adopted resolutions,
'authorizing Mr. Hirst to proceed against
Mr. Ridgway for the recovery of said dues.
Mr. Ridgway is one of the most wealthy
Merchants of Philadelphia, and is frequent
ly ermed a " second Girard," In point of
wealth.
The Supposed Murderers. The Lan
' caster Intelligencer says " AVo were mis
taken or rather our informant was deceiv
ed in the belief that Kobler and AVilman
'had confessed themselves the niuiderers of
Zellerbach, and we hasten to make the cor-
rcction. Our informant is a gentleman of
great respectability, and an officer of stand
jug under the State government. It seems
they confessed tho goods found in the trunk
to be theirs hence the error.
AVe have visited these two men severa
times, am! havo been present at their exam'
ination. Kobler is loud in protesiing bis
innocence, and tells a pretty straight story
AVilman seems to be uu innffonsivo creature,
and pretends entire ignorance of ihe mur
der. Of course wo cannot prejudge, their
case. There is now a train of measures on
foot that will lead to something definite.

The number of regulars furnished to the
Revolutionary army were, by Now England
U7,M1; by the Middle Suites, 50,571; by
the Southern States, 50,001. It appears by
the above, that New England, consisting of
Now Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, furnished more
troops for the defence of the country, than
the otiier nine States, 23872' The number
of troops furnished by South Carolina was

6J7; Gonncctieutj 31,030

of Ihe 5th instant, says, " Yesterday, im
mediately after the remains of Lieutenant
Gamier were consigned to tho tomb, and
tho concourse of persons who had assembled
to witness the ceremony; were preparing
to return to their homes, their attention was
attracted by the noise or groans of some
poison in distress, which appeared to come
from a coffin that had just been deposited in
tho earth. It was immediately opened, and
on examination, found to contain the body
of a negro woman, who had, it is supposed,
fallen into a lethargic sleep and considered
dead, but was awakened by the onlrnrico of
water into the coffin. She wai taken out
;ind brought to the city in find spirits, and
there is now every ptospcetof her recove
ry.
Mrs. John Cozzens, died in Now York

Prudent Stipulation. An elderly mai

competency,' which she always explained

" And lest, O Lord, thou should not under
lain! what I mean, four hundred a year,
paid quarterly.' 1
Necesily of Repetition. "I remember,"
says the celebrated Wesley, " hearing my
father say to my mother, " How could you
have the patience to tell that blockhead the
same thing twenty tiuiua over V " Why,"
said' she, " if I had told him but nineteen
limes, I should have lost all my labor."
A gang of six desperate counterfeiters

Iron Strain Boat. AAre are really grati
fied to see, by a communication, which we
extract from tho Advocate, that an iron
steamboat is now in the course of construc
tion by citizens of Pittsburg. We have
long felt that our city should take tho lead
in this mailer, and had begun to entertain
some fears that some other place would
manifest more enterprise and public spirit,
than tho city of three rivers.

A Buried City. The caplain of an A
merican vessel, named R.iy, baa lately dis
covered on the coast of Peru, in the envi
rons of Ttiscillo, an ancient buried eity of
considerable extent, rwlowii.'g the course
of some cxcava.ions lie had made, lie found
the walls of the edifices still standing and
many of tbein in a complete state of preser
vation. Ho inferred from the number and
extent of them, that the population of the
city could not havo been less than thice
thousand souls. Great numbers of skele
ton and mummies, in a perfect state of pre
servation, were found among the private
and sacred edifices, and a gicat number of
domestic ulcusils. articles of furniture, coins
and curious antiquities. The earthquake
by which it was engulfed, appears to have
surprised the inhabitants like those of Pom
pci, in the midst of their daily avocations,
and many of them wore found by Captain
K;iy singularly preserved by the exclusion
f atmosperic air in the precise situation of
lnu moment when overwhelmed. One
man standing up as if in the act of escaping
Wi,s dressed in a light robe, in the folds of
which coins were found, which have been
sent to the scientific institutions at Lima for
investigation. A female was also found
sitting in a chair before a loom, which con
tained a piece of colton stuff which she was
in the act of weaving. The cotton sniffs
which is of a gaudy pattern, but very neat
ly fabricated is about eighteen inches in di
ameter, and appears to have been only hall
completed. A great number Of antiquities
and curioslics found in the American Iler
c.ulaneunigravc, have been sent to the mu
seum at Lima.
A Counterfeiter's Device. A fellow ar
rested at Burlington, A't. on thc22d ult. fur
uttering counterfeit notes. The sheriff ex

pieces of soiled linen mid several large
lumps of mnple sugar. The sheriff, hav
ing a taste lor sucn matters, proceeucu io
appropriate to his own uso, a part of the
spoils, and on breaking a lump, discovered
in the inside u large roll ot bills. Proceed
ing with his examination, he found several
hundred dollars secreted in tho same man-
ner.
The ingenious counterfeiter was
ex
amined and committed for trial. Ledger.

I have the satisfaction to announce to you
that just now at 1 o'clock, the federal afiny
has obtained a most complete triumph over
the division of the vanguard of the central
troops commanded by General Cos. I have
only time to slate that after three hours and
a half of the hottest firing, tho action ter
minated by a capitulation, in which it has
been agreed that the whole army of assail
ants shall fall back on Mexico by regular
marches. During tho action I made 200
prisoners, and was joined afterwards by
150 of Ihe centralists; all their artillery,
mules and baggage, 350 muskets and many
other arlieles have fallen into our hands. I
lost A officers and 12 soldiers killed. The
eiicniy'3 loss amounted to 8 officers and
70 privates. JOSEANTONIA MEXIA.
Honey Moon. Though this word is in
common use, its derivation is little known
as nothing respecting it is found in the dic

from the custom of the Tuetaues, an ancient
people of Germany, who drank mead, or
mcthegl.n, a beverage made with honey,
for thiry days after every wedding.
