The Death of Duke of Orleans. The
Prince Royal of France is dead. The In
lilligenco reached London on tiio 12lh
June by a pigeon express from Paris. The
official account stales that on the morning of
Oth at half past ten, (lie Duke of Orleans
went to Neuilly, to take leave or the royal
family, intending to set ofT the next morn
ing for the camp of St. Omar. A short dis
tance from Neuilly the horso ran away.
At this moment the duke, to avoid tho
danger, leaped from the carriage; but un
fortunately' his spurs, or, as some says, his
reword, caught his travelling cloak. This
accident caused him to fall, and the Prince
received some contusions on the temple and
the wrist. A cerebal congestion was
occasioned by tho shock, and was succeed
ed by a suffusion on tho Lrain.
Having fainted in the road, his Royal
Highness was removed to the nearest house
occupied by a grocer, and assistance speedi
ly arrived from the 'IVIeries.
At half past four, after having received
the succours of religion, the prince breathed
his last, surround&d by the king, queen, and
royal family.
The death of the Duke was subsequently
discovered to have been produced by a
fracture of the spine.
The accjdent may prove of immense
consequence to the' peace of Europe, be
cause Franco has thus been deprived of an
heir apparent to the throne, Louis Philippe
of a son, it is highly improbably that the
king of the French will live to witness the
arrival of his infant grandson at majority,
and a regency in France would be an
occurrence portentous of the mos ovenlful
civil commotions amongst such an excita
ble people.
The late Duke of Oileans was born at
Parlermo on the 2d of September, 1810,
showing him to have just reached the age
of 32 at his death. His mother, Marie
Amelie, the present Queen or the French, is
daughter or Ferdinand, King, or the Two
Sio:lies,and whomkLouis Philippe espoused
at the lime ho was wandering abroad as
plain Duko of Orleans. The departed
duke was one of a family of sever, children,,
to whom Marie Amelie has. becr.ecvcr
warmly attached. The Duke de Nemouts
Louis Philippe's second son, was horn at
Paris on the 25lh of October, 1814
The Duke matried, on the 30th January

THE MORMON EXPOSURE.
The promised disclosures of General
Bennett.ieeently expellod from Joe. Smith's
community ol barnts, has appeared in the
Sangamo Journal or the 8th inst. We
have not yet received the number, but we
learn from tho N6w York Advertiser, who
has been more favored, that Bennett has
published a column and n half in which he
makes Joe appear as pretty a specimen or
the rogue, rascal swindler, profligate and
vagabond as need be seen of a summer's
day. He charges the great Mormon lead
er, especially, with the grosest licentious
ness, to which 'hundreds or single and
married females' have fallen victims, and
which was not restrained from assailing
even the daughter of Sidney Rigdon, but
unsuccessfully, and he promises still further
revelations ol the most atrocious character
All this must bo very edifying to the
Saint, but as Bennett must have known
these facts sometime ago, it would have
been more to this credit to have told them
before.

Bennett having exposed ihe 'Holy Juo'and
his practices with ihe women, has in turne
been exposed himself by the prophet, and;
U the latter is lo be credited, the General is

says ihat Bennett was excommunicated
because he was guilty of adultery: that he
had a wife and threo children living in

notwithstanding llto fidelity that he owed
to his wife, he began to pay his addresses

FOR PRESIDENTS
Subject to the decision of the Nationa
Convention.)
"Tho Removal Bill was taken up late on
Tuesday evening in the Senate, and defeat
ed by a decided majority."
So says tho Danvillo Democrat, but by
what authority or for what reason, they
alone can tell, as so far from the bill being
defeated by a large majority.it was not even
acted upon at all. It is true that an attempt
wan made, on thelajt day of tho session to
get the bill up, but it was opposed by Sena
tor Headley, and the Danville party,and by
the power of a resolution which was smug,
gled through the senate some days previous
to effect this very casp, requiring iwo thirds
to take up any local bill, tho attempt was
defeated. Thus much for tho Danville
Democrat's statement. It is in character,
however, with the whole course ihe past
winter, of those opposed to removal. Mis
representation was their grand weapon,
knowing that truth was death to their hopes.
Their ingenuity was strained lo tho utmost
lo invent statements as ridiculous and absurd
as they were untrue, to prevent the passage
of the removal bill, in all of which Senator
Headley chimed in with singular harmony
and fellow-feeling. The lunes were chan
ged however; lo suit the occasion. When
opposing removal, the upper portion of the
county was thinly populated, a large pro
poition of the land hilly, mountainous,
broken and uncultivatable, consequently
the population neyer would and never could
increase to any extent that ihe largest
proportion of the population was now &nd
always would be in a.id around Danville a
majority of the county was opposed to re
moval, and to cap the climax of their mis-

elected in the county, as no member or ihe
Legislature ever had been or ever would be
elided as an avowed removal man, and
even went so far as to defy the election of
a man in favor of tho question. When .ad
vocating the division, which we assert was
done both by the Berwick and Danville nco
pie, Ihe new county would bp the finest in
the state, rich in minerals, in aoncul
lure, and susceptible or the highest state of
cultivation, and would eventually be a very
populous county. Thus changing their no
sition as often as was calculated to advance
tho interest of ihe division, or oppusition to
removal. But notwithstanding all their
misrepresentations and falsehoods, the hill
would have passed tho Senate "by a large
majority" had Senator Headlet fulfilled
the pleiges given, by him, both before and
after his election, & during the pendency of
the bill beloro the house or Representatives
that is, called it up, and asked the senate
to give it the sanction or law, and to hi n,
and lo lun oply.are the people or the cnuo
ty indebted for tho defeat of a bill leaving it
lo themselves to seltio this long vexed
question.
The Election this fall in Columbia coun
ty will be one of exciting interest to the
citizens of tho county, at least to that por.
tion of them who are opposed to a division
of the county and in favor of a removal, as
the Danville & Berwick party have already
declared that, that would be the question in
tho county, and that they could and would
elect a man in favor of division. As thev
have Ihus flung rluwn the glovo of defiance,
tnos opposed lo division should not be
slow lo take it up, and do battle manfully.
Their cause is just, and as there is a large
majority of iho county opposed to division
all that is, therefore, wantintr. is
union and harmony to make their victory
sure. Lot this, then be tho test question,
support no man for the Legislature, under
any circumstances who will not nnreso'ved
ly pledge himself to oppose a division of
lite county and advocate the romovel. It
is time that ihe friends or removal should
wake np.and assert their rights manfully at
the ballot boxes,

Berwick Sent.
Mr. fVcbbi
Being present at, tho Ornnge
ville celebration, and having responded, with
a hearty goodwill. to the toast referring lo the
.course of our Senator, S. F. Headley,
since his election to that important station, I
cannot permit the above article lo go to the
world, without some small notice, Had it
not carried upon its face however; evidence
of having been written by tho Honorable
S. F. Headley himself, I do not think ihat
1 would luve considered it even worthy of
attention, (as with the nominal editors of the
Berwick Senlinol 1 have nothing to do,)
much less of an answer, through a respect
able journal-but as he has thought proper
to denounce a largo number of his constitu
ents as "knaves & fools" foi expressing
their disapprobation of his treachery and
duplicity, his betraying of confidence re
posed in him, his breach or pledgesfsolemn
ly given before and after his election, for
personal pecuniary benefit, it is not only
right but proper, thai his baseness, in anath
aniatisiug a whole'cornmunity, for no other
crimu than publcly expressing their utter
detestation or iho character of a man who
can thus trifle with the interest of his con
stituents intrusted lo him under tho convic
tion, that a sense of honor, at least, would
have compelled him lo have made some
show of willingness to have fulfilled one, if
not more, of the many premises made lo
secure his election, should be made known
lo tho community. What is ihe toast which
has induced the publication of the above
denunciation of some hundred and .fiftv of
as respectable and, woTthy citizens as the
county oT Columbia cap produce, and to
say the least, upon a par (or intelligence
with either of the some half a dozen editors
of Ihe Sentinel, not excepting senrtor
Headley himsell? Why, sir it is as fol
lows: "S. F. Headley Tho Representative
who betrays the confidence of his constitu
ents for personal benefit, should be discard
ed by all honorable men."
Has ho done what (he (oast insinuates!
for it makes no assertion. If so, it is not
knavery to tell him of it, nor does it consti
tnte a man a fool to know -its trulh. That
he has not forfeited pledges given before
nnd since his electian, and that too, in a I
point, which deeply affected a largo mnjnri
ty of his constituents, residing in Columbia
county, he dare noideny over his signature,
He may do so in private conversation, but
if he is innocent let him rume doldly before
his constituents and deny it.as an honorahlo
man ought to do, and not sneak behind an
anonymous paragraph denouncing as
"knaves and fouls" all who have stron"
reasons for not onlybelieving.bul for dread-

say that there has been no specific charges

has nothing definite to deny or refute.

"A man avowing his determination to'

tho names of two thirds of all ihe taxable
inhabitants of ihe county can be obtained to
petitions for a removal! Can it be possible
ihat ihe Danville junto can dupe and deceive
the friends of the removal, and prevent
them from uniting on a candidate who will
carry out their favorite measure? We can
not nor will not believe it untiLwo see ihe

almost uncxampl. d excitement and Riot.
It was the day appointed for a grand tem

procession was formed al the Hall in Bod
ford street, about 8 o'clock in tho morning.a
very great crowd having previously gather
ed, composed of boys, men and woman,
both whites and hlacks.to look on the pro
cession. The boys began to shout after
ihe procession, which soon became restless
and a fight ensued. Brick bats and other
missiles flew in every direction. n,nUn
heads and bloody noses soon became abun

contest, gave way and lied in every direo
tion. The fight.however continued through
out the day in various parts of tho city.
Tho piiluary were called out, and several
arrests were made. Several men, both
black and while were severely injured, and
some lives lost. At half past r-ino in the
