Eds. Della.-1l train of 200 wagons
rived yestehlay afternoon from Vera Cruz,
and proceeded this morning, in company
with Gen. Twigga' Division, towards Pu

Walker's gallant kind of mounted men
accompanied the' train. and during tIM
journey had two skirmishes with superior
force of Mexican lancers or robbers. The
last took place at Santa he, at an early
hour in the morning of Wednesday last,
which resulted in the Complete route of

were first attacked by the Lancers, while
reposing in slumber. had six killed and
eleven wounded. Walker, in person, pur
sued the wretches, as well as the darkness
of the occasion would admit, captured six
prisoners, who were handed over to the
dragoons, and almost instantly shot dead.

All the interest of Professor McClintock
in the matter was simply this : He was

entirely ignorant of what was going on
within, when he was informed of the case,
and invited to go into the court-room by a
gentleman of the first respectability in Car

Advantate has been taken of the circum
stance by certain persona, in an attempt to
produce an excitement among the students
_at the College against the l'rofessor, but it
has signally failed. As soon a s s the facts
were'fully known, the students assembled
it a body, and instead of "demanding the
dismissioai" of the professor, as the Led
ger story has it, they passed resolutions
highly complimentary to him in every, re
spect: The time has gone by, when it was
a crime for eennsylranians to assert and
uphold the supremacy of their own laws,
or to aid the oppressed by all legalimeans.
For the statement of facts herein given
we have the highest authority in Carlisle.
EIMAcIrrION or TILL.—BUW long tho Itunp of
conversation holds out to hum between two per
sons only, is curiously set down in the fallowing
passage from Count Gonfallione/thaccount of his
impniattunent:
"I am an old man now ; yet by fifteen
years my soul_
- is yotfngcr than my body !
Fifteen 'years I existed, for I did not hve—
it was not life—in the self-same dungeon,
ten feet square! During six years I had
cotnpanion ; during nine I was alone !
I never could sightly distinguish the face
of him who 'shared my captivity in the
eternal twilight of our cell. The first year
we talked incessantly together! we rela
ted our past lives, our joys forever gone,
0ve6,,,1nd over again. next year we
communicated to each other our thoughts
and ideas on all subjects. The third year,.
we had no, ideas to communicate; we were
beginning to loserthe power of reflection !
The fourth, at the interval of a month or
so, we would open our lips to ask each
?AFL egst ibat tile
we formed i s portion of mankind. The
fifth we wire silent. The sixth, he was
taken away; I never knew where, toexecto
tion or to liberty; but I was glad when he
was done; even solitude was better than
the dim vision of that pale vacant face.—
After that I was alone, only one event
broke in upon nine years' vacancy. One
day, it must have been a year or two af
ter my companion left me, the dungeon
door was opened, and a voice—whence
proceeding- I knew 'not—uttered these
words; "By order of his imperial majes
ty, I intimate to you that your wife died a
year ago." Then the door was shut, and,
heard no more ; they had but flung this
great agony in upon me, and left me alone
with it again." '
ACCIDENT.—Mr. Tobias Kauffman, on
Saturday last, while engaged in putting on
the "rubber" of his wagon, about a mile
from this place, met with a most painful
accident. It appears while standing on the
lever, the wheel caught his.foot and threw

DONIPIIAN'a Contsaue.--This band of
noble fellows have been constantly on the
marsh' for eight months, and have been
without tents since last fall, nor have they
&awe? single: dollar of pay, since- they
have been in the service. A portion of

skirmish, and several horses killed.
The extraordinary end .well authenticii
ted cures wrought by the celebrated Sugar
Coateil,Pills, or Dr. Smith's Improved in
' dian Vegetable Pills, have naturally drawn
' public attention to them. Perhalis in the
history of Medicine, from the dine of Hip
pocrates to the present day, there is no
ev
idence of a medical compound obtaining
equal celebrity in so short a time. There
was never a medicine recommended by
such high authority as Dr. Smith's Pills.
Besides their great, curative properties,
(possessing as they do, such Astonishing
curative powers to open all the natural
drains of the body,,vizi : the Lungs, Kid
neys, Skin and Bowels,) they are, unlike
all other pills, extremely pleasant, being
coated with sugar, and as they do not gripe,
nor produce nausea, or any other unpleas
ant consequences, they have become very
popular for Dyspepsia, Headache, Costive
ness, Bilious Complaints, Foul Stomach,
Fevers, Worms, Wont of Appetite, impu
rities of the Blood, Obstructions mid Fe
male Complaints generally, Colds, dr.c.L—
One of the most influential and benevolent
ladies in New York, Mrs. S. A. Could,
Matron of the U. S. Naval Hospital, says
“there is no medicine within her knowl
edge so well adapted to the numorous ail

Coated Pills." She e'specially rocoM=
mends them to ladies. Read her certificate
in the pamphlet.

Having understood that a citizen of Ucttyshurg
was circulating a report through the county that
'Wsr. R. aAmr.aa would not be a candidate for the
State Senate; that an arrangerntint had been made
with him to deeline the nomination for Senator,
and accept it for RePreamtative; and that D. M.
Sit visa was to bc a candidate for the Senate, Wm..
R. Sintsu for Representative, and Wx. M'Surcri
was not to be a candidate at all--1 feel it a du-
ty to st a te that it is not correct, and without roan
dation. WM. R. SADLEM is and will he a canal
date for the nomination of State Senator, (Asti
Norm's(' stas,) in the Convention. And a bet ,
ter man—one whose views are MOM clear, judg:
moat more sound, and principles more pure and
honest, we have not in the county.
I deem this-as nothing more than justie.e to him,
that the erroneous statement should be corrected.
We ask the free and independent voters of Adams
County to nominate W. It. SAI/LIM for State
Senator;-and-with his name on the 'ticket with
Irvin and Patton, we will tell a tale on the second
Tuoaday of October, that will speak well for old

OUR SENATOR
Ma. EDITOR:—From a communication which
appeared in the last "Sentinel," I Perceive the
question of who shall be our next Senator from
this District, is about being brought before the
people. lam glad to see a move on this subject,
and as one of the old soldiers of the Whig party
of tliis county, I ham taken the liberty of sending
you my views on thelatject, and of suggesting
the name of a gentleman for that office, who, I
think, will scarcely have the shadow of an oppo
sition before our County Convention. T he gen
tleman to whom I refer, is Dsenst M. SXT.ZX,
Esq., of your town. His name and experience as
• legislator will at once recommend him to every
man in the county. Such it man is needed at
present in the State Senate. There is scarcely a
doubt that Gen. Irvin will be our neit Governor,
and that Maj. Patton will bo elected Canal Com-
Missioner ; this being the case; it behooves Ad
ams County to be represented M the Senate by
one who his had some experience in Legislatire
bodies, and one who den Mistain the new admit";
iettation by his . eloquemn and experienot—one whe
can originate, protect and, defend the interests of
the Whig party. , Mr. Smyeer

Now, sir, we feel authorized to contradict this
rumor, and say that Wx. M'Sdiaair will be a

What the author, "Hinitinghnirminmt by garb

make it stood unintelligible, we are at a loss to
know, unless ho wished it to be understood that
Mr. M'Sherri Seas not a candidate. Mr. H
. has alai left his readers in the dark as respects the
meaning of this singular communication.
Although Mr. M'Auguai has not asked that
his nomination he'urged, yet he wilt, if nominated,
egeept it, and be thankful to the Whigs of Ad-'
ams county for the honor conferral, and endeavor
to till the station with that dignity of character
and honesty of purpose which so much distinguith
him.
There is no man we would rather ace on the
ticket than Mr. M'Sit mil r, as we believe libiguai
illeations are such as to enable him to discharge
the duties of the station with credit to himself and
honor to the country. He has always been warm
ly attached to the Whig cause,—has inborn! for
it earnestly and faithfully, and in our °pinta'
would be an honor to the county aful his eisustitu
,ents in the Legislature. Again, Mr. M'Saimar
is a host within himself, and we can assure you
and the convention through you, that with his
his name old Genuany and Union will gives good
account of themselves. Let the report be contra
dicted—let justice be done him, and we will come
sip to the mark in the spirit of those determined to
triumph. With him we are and will be perfectly
invincible. GERMANY 84 UNION. '
