At about 11 o'clock he rode up in one of the East Broadway stages and entered the house. In a few minutes afterwards, a desperate and deadly struggle commenced between Marks and Geiger. Marks is small, thick set, dark complexioned and homely ; Geiger is large, muscular and handsome. Both were in the prime of life ; one was armed with a short dirk, and the other a dirk knife, and both fought; desperately. The woman screamed for assistance, and some other persons living in the house shouted murder. A young man named Chase, who was passing by at the time, opened the door, and on the stairs met Marks covered with blood. one wrist cut nearly off, the ligament* of the. other arm cut dreadfully, and numemiti deadly stabs on his body. Mr. Chase's first impulse was to push the bloody man from him, lest he himielf should be sup posed to be concerned in the af f ray. but the next moment lie caught the wounded man in his arms. Marks never spoke, being laid down, expired in a few minutes. Ott entering the room, Mr. Chase found Geiger in one corper of it, *tabbed in sev eral places, and in the agonies of death, and the woman in another corner, with a wound iq her breast, and another under the left arm. Geiger was seen by per sona in the back yard, in the act of stab bing her. Whether he was himself killed by the hands of Marks, or whether he stabbed Marks and the woman, end "then ttiruself, is unknown. - The two men died! in a few minutes; the woman was carried to the Hospital, but,there are no hopes of saving her life. Capt. Tilley, of the 18th ward, took into custody several women belonging to the house, but they were dis charged by order of the coroner. 1 . :4! L AMit From CRllforMo.

Folsom. the bi tted td' which is dated at San Francisco, Oet.4lhv 1848, from which we make the following Oxtracts : 4 •l9cnathing should be done hero at once fitr the .establishment of peace and good order iit the country. All law, both civil and military, is at en end. Among the gibes ' , and indeed, in most parts of the country out of the villages, no authority butikat of the strongest exists ; and out- Met of the moat disgraceful nature ate onnisandy or-curing, and the offenders go unpunished. There are now about twen tplive vessels in this port, and I believe these is not one of them that has a crew to gts ico' sea. Frequently the sailors arm themselves, take the ships' boats and leave isti.the must open manner, defying both their officers and the - civil magistrates.— These things are di:Tr:were' to the roun tty, and the flagt and while vessels have to pay:pon iharges, duties, &c., their own ers:Might to be protected. 'We hare not had an American man-of war in this port for more than a year, and *ll the naval resources of the United States on this coati; are conceranited at Monterey, 'which is not a harbor, hut an open road stead, and which has not oile•teuth of the business on its waters which is done in this boy. For months past there has sel dom been more than ono merchant vessel at Monterey at a time, and frequently none at all, and still that is the general place of Assort on the coast fur riemof•war. At this time, such is the state of affairs here, That It least one armed vessel ought to be constantly in port. • "la a few months the line of ocean mail steamers will be in operation from Pa- Cann to Oregon, and this port is to be a depict for coal, and of course a stopping Poiet in passing. both ways. The start ing of. the line of steamers on this coast is likely to be an undertaking of very great difficulty, and at this time, such is its im portance with reference to both Oregon and California, that its failure might be looked upon as a national calamity. Still, unless some kind of protection is extended to the shipping of this port, it is not at all impro bable that it may fail for want of necessa ry laborers as soon as the boats reach this harbor. Indeed, it is altogether probable, tmlees some competent authority is found here at ,the time to preserve order, that the crew will quit in a body as anon as the tin; vessel arrives. "All sorts of labor is got at enormous rates of compensation. Common clerki' and salesmen in the stores about town, of tvn receive as high as $2,500 and their board, The clerk now in my office is a young boy, who, until a few weeks sines wit& a piirale of volunteers, and I ad now, paying him $1,500 per annum. This will out appear high when I tell you that I have just seen upon his table a wash bill, made out aid paid, at the rate of WI per dozen, and that almost everything also is at corresponding prices. Unless some thing is done, I am unable to see how it is possible for officers. living upon the salar ies granted by law to military men, to sup port themselves in this country. . . "Fur sonic time last summer, (August tenet July,) the officers at Monterey were entirely w ithout servants, and the Gover nfir (Colonel Mason) actually took his turn in ,cooking fur his mess. Unless Route prompt action is taken to pay both officers and men serving in this country in pro portion to the unavoidable expencea to be incurred, the former will resign. and the latter Will desert, and it will be impassible to maintain a military force in California. It cannot be expected that officers will devote their aery lens to the government at a rite of compensation which will not en abler them to employ a servant, to say no thing of living in such a manner as may be come their station ; and it is utterly lan possible to do it in California upon the .salaries allowed by law. think California affords means for 4111ninvestment of capital such as kw other temmazies offer.

THIS COLORED MEN MOVINO.-4 Con vention of the colored men of Pennsylva nia was held in Harrisburg, on Thursday last. Almost every county in the State was represented by delegates. The two following resolutions, taken from among those passed by the Convention, explain ed the Objects and intentions of the mem bers : Resolved, That each delegation circulate peti tions as 110011 as practicable in the different coun ties to obtain signers among the citizens to be pre *entail to the Legislature of this State, praying fur erasing the word -white" from the Constitu tion.

RILTORNED PAWS CALIFORNIA.—It is stated that a gentleman arrived in New York on Saturday last, who went nu a voyage around Cape Horn for the purpose of regaining his health. He got to San Francisco in renewed vigor, just as the gold mince were discovered, and throwing off his coat, he plunged into the gold region. In a few months. he - collected $30,000. which he has brought home with him in bars of gold. A gentleman from Hartford, Connecticut., in bad health, collected *l,- 600 in two months. Tas PACIFIC Ratt.aoats.—We notice that Mr. Whitney is still persevering in his enterprise . 0f a railroad to the Pacific, and the rapid development• of the .eitraor. dinary wealth of that section of country, woula seem greatly to add to the impor tance of the project. The States of Indi ana, Illinois, New York, ' Connecticut, Maine, New Hamshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Ma. ryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michigan and lowa, have all declared almost unaninionsly in _favor of the enterprise, Ind it is to be presumed that Congress at its ptesent session will take decisive , measures upon the subject.— Daily News. 9?

In the Home of Representatives, on the 2lst Mr. Gorr, of New York, offered the follow ing resolution, and moved the previous question : a, the traffic in human beings as chattels, now prosecuted within this Me tropolis of the Republic, is contrary to na tural justice, to the fundamental principle of our Political System, and is a notorious reproach to our country throughout Chris tendom, and a serious hindrance to the pro gress of Republican Liberty among the Nations of the earth : Resolved, That the Committee on the District of Columbia be instructed to bring in, as soon as practicable, a bill prohibit ing the Slave Trade in said district. Mr. Cobb, of Licorgia, mused to lay the resolu tion on the table. Mr. Wentworth called for the yeas and nays on the motion of Mr. Cobb; they were ordered, and resulted, aye. 83, nay. 83. ho the resolution was not laid on the table. The motion for the previous quisition was ens tained-85 to 49. The ayes and nays were ordered on taking the main question, and resulted, ayes 112, nays 64. The resolution was then pasted by yeas and nays-98 to 87. Dr. Nu was not present, and did not rote. The passage of the resolution created some feel ing among • portion of the Southern members, the South Carolina delegation especially. Mr. Moons rose under a good deal of excitement, and moved that every Southern member with draw from the House. The proposition, it is said, met with a genet laugh, and the House refused to entertain the motion. South Carolina chivalry seems to be at • discount at the present time. The “blufr' game wont answer any longer. On Wednesday, Mr. Stewart, of Michigan, mo ved a reconsideration of Mr. Urged resolution which again brought • number of members to their feet, and quite a sensation prevailed.

On mega rk of Mr. Vinton, of Ohio, the further consideration of the subjectwas postponed for two week'. .MEETING OF SOUTHERN MEMBERS. —The recent votes in the House in favor of Free dom have alarmed the Slavery Propagandists at Washington. A call was made on Saturday last upon an the* Elouthere membent of Congress to meet is council to adopt such measures as should be deemed requisite to sustain the honor and pro- tect the rights of the South. The call was respon ded to by a number of members, who 'mumbled in the Senate Chamber, and organised by appoint. ins Mr. Metcalfe Chairmanned Mr. Venable Sec retary. Quite a quantity of indignant speeches were made, breathing tot 'issuance against' the North, and a series of strung resolutions wan' offered by Mr. Bally. But moderate counsels pre. railed in the end, and it was determined to post pone action. until the filth of January, when an other meeting Is to be held. A Committee of one ' from each Southern State was appointed to report to the artourned meeting. We take the liberty of suggesting the their use a report sontorthet after !hie fashion The ' slave dynasty hie ceased to rule in the National Councils, never to regain its power.

It will be an interesting document, and it is eagerly looked for. Ile will, I hear, throw out suggestions for a sinking fund for the gradual liquidations of the State Debt. A mong his suggestions, also, bill probably be a general law for the incorporation of manufacturing companies, framed, per haps, upon the general Manufacturing law of Massachusetts. Constituting a feature of his recommendations, I am informed, will be a reform of the banking system, so far as to require newly created banks to pledge real estate and depoaite State stock as additional guarantees for the redemption of their issues, similar to the banking laws now existing in New York and Ohio. A nother item of the message, it is said, will be the reconstntction - of the - canal system of the State, upon a plan which shall re move the management of the State im provements out of the reach of partizan politics, and at the same time reduce the expenses of their management at least one thihl in amount. $4,6 12,0 67 07 The Tariff question will be largely treated Upon in the message, and the res toration of the protective tariff policy urg ed, as the interest of Pennsylvania and the Union, and demanded by the people.— The Governor, I know, will take high and bold ground in opposition to Slavery. and its further extension one inch beyond its present borders, by "compromise" ur otherwise. The foregoing two the principle posi tions that will be embraced in the message, or form a portion of the policy of the State administration, as will be developed in the hulls of legislation this winter." General Taylor and the Slavery The Natchez Courier has an article relative to the remarks which, it was stated, (on the author ity of a letter from J. F•. Claiborne, of Natchez, to Gov. Brown, at Washington,) Gen. Taylor had made, since his election, to Judge S. S. Boyd, of Mississippi, on the subject of any interference by the North with the slavery question. It will be remembered it was alleged lien T. had declared, in case of Richert event, "heavaii in favor of draw ing the sword and throwing away the scabbard." The Courier says : ••We can set this matter right in a few words. Judge Boyd has been either Mis understood or misrepresented very gross ly. In the couversation ih.illicciirred be tween Gem Taylor and Judge Boyd on the subject of slavery, not one word, so we understood Judge 1.1. to say, was ut tered, having reference to the Wilmot pro viso, slavery in the Territories, or any other question growing out or the subject of slavery in the States, farther than that concerning the right of properly instates, in slave Sialfs. $4,51 4 4,667 07 "General 'Fa) for said that if the north• ern fanatics attempted to interfere with that, he was in la%or of dram, tug . the sword and throwing awry the scabbard. said nothing further concerning the slave question ; and all the hubbub raised at the North and elsewhere, about these al leged remarks, has nu authenticity or foundation. "These remarks were made by Gen. Taylor in social conversation with Judge Boyd, of this city, who afterwards repeat ed them as they occured to his friends, not with the moat remote idea that they would be misrepresented or m6eoustrued, and telegraphed to Washington." The Washington Union publishes the follow ing letter from Mr. Ul.kihorne to Goy. Brown, ful ly bearing out the show interpretation of (len Taylor's meaning: Dear Sir : I have noticed a brief ex tract from a letter of mine to you going the rounds of the press. The extract pur ports to be a remark of Gen. Taylor to S. S. Boyd, Esq. on the slavery question. I fear the meaning of my letter is mis construed ; and, indeed. 1 may have used stronger language than I should have done, in the haste in which I generally write.— Oen. Taylor, in his conversation .with Judge Boyd, did not mention the word territories, and spoke entirely of our rights under the constitution in the slave States. He expressed no opinion as to the propri ety of extending slavery into the new ter ritories, or of restraining it to its present limits. It is well understood here that the General studiously avoids indicating his views on this exciting point. I know Judge Boyd would not misrep resent Gen. Taylor, and I am sure I would not knowingly misrepresent Judge Boyd. In justice to all parties, may 1 ask you to give publicity to this letter, and oblige yours, truly, F. L. CLueoang Hon. A. G. Brown.

General Scott and lbe A peragraph has been going the rounds statin g that a reconciliation had taken place between Gen.

" That same manliness was exhibited anew—and it was again an exception—to Gen. Scott, on his recent visit to Washing ton, whither he went to dispose of the house which he had formerly occupied there, and which. as under present ar rangements it is not longer neeessar7 for him to reside there, ho desired to give up. We trust that the Military Committee, or some special Committee of the House of Representatives, will call for and make public, all letters and papers—now that peace is made, and the exeuse Can no longer be put forth, of detriment to the public service—which shall 'elucidate the history of the late war, and the parts re invectively playbd therein by the gall.•ntt officers in the field and the governing pow er at home."

It ap peared as though the whole "artillery of Heaven" had gathered for one grand dis play, sad the sound of mighty waters was a more circumstance to the report. We have since learned, as one of its effects, that the dwelling of Mrs. Ilia. e a: vatic near Plainfield, was struck by the lightning, and that the fluid petiormed some strange freaks about the premises.— After it had rent in twain a large locust tree on the north west corner of the house the,fluid -entered the building, unhinging every dour in the lower story, breaking. every pane of glass, and literally chequer ing the ceiling in its erratic course.

My cough increased in vio lence, giving me much uneasiness and depriving me of my rest at night, 1 commenced taking an article, of which I had read much in our city ' papers, and believed it could not fail to cure me; in this, however, I was mistaken : it gave some little relief at first, which encouraged me to con tinue its use, but alter using several bottles found bare& no better and gave up taking it. I was then recommended to try another article, prepa red by a Physician in this city. but with the same result.. Nearly three months had petrel, and my iougb vu worse than at any other time previous. I despaired getting anything to give me even relief, much less to cure me, when a ' friend sent to mi a bottle of your Expectorant.
