g
called and wished the girl to go with him,
but she refused, and he left the place. 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.

Jeseip, from Capt. J. 1.. Folsom. the bi

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

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

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

'We hare not had an American man-of

*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

young boy, who, until a few weeks sines

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

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

in

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

FOR THS Fops.—We learn from the
New York Freeman's Journal, of Saturday
that the recent political movements in litome o
and the conse9ueut: position of his Holi
ness, are taken deeply to heart by the Cath
olic ecclesiastical authorities in this coun
try. Birhop Hughes issued a circular to
the clergy and laity of hie 'diocese, direet
ing that, until farther notice, the prayer
pro Papa be added to the other prayers in
the celebration of the mass, and that the
lay members of the Church, both male
and female, ' , shall approach the holy Com
munion once with the intention here indi
cated, 'and, in addition to private devotions,
which they may direct to- the same end,
that they shall recite once, in a spirit of
compunction fitr their citia - sins, and sup
plication to God for the protection of his
Church, and the deliverance of her visible
head on earth, the seven Penitential psalms
and the litanies of the Saints."
The isms directions are issued by the
Bishop of Albany. -
The Arehbishop of Baltimore directs,
in that archdiocese, as follows
During orte month from this date the.
Bei. 'clergy will say at mass the prayer
for the pop e '"Deus oumium fidelium,"

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.
Resolved, That I Conunittev, of elven be ap
pointed to prepare an address to the •otera of the
Com•noowealth of Pennsylvania in behalf of unt
venal Auffrogo.
The Convention is said to have sahib-
an array of intelligence and oven brilliant
talent which surprised spectators.
A Duda, singular wager was
laid ou the Pre.sidential election, by a cou
ple of politicians in Connecticut, who a
greed that he whoa. candidate was defeat
ed should saw a cord of wood in the street.
The wood was sawed last Monday in the
presence of a large committee of admi
ring spectators.
,A Minima MURDERED.—The Eliza

speaks, of Me mysterious disappearance of
the Rev. Thomas Waring, whose papers,
clothing, &c., were found in the vicinity.
Developments leave scarcely a doubt that
the unfortunate man has been murdered.
Mr. Waring had been on a collecting tour,
and war on horseback, but nothing has
been seen of the animal. The brother of
Mr. W. has offered a reward of 000 fur
the rel.usery of the body.

The table is compiled from a complete
statement of the full vote of the Union,
every State being made up front the olli

majorities in a few Counties only are gi

be seen that Gen. TAYLOR'S plurality over

Congress—Slavery In the District.
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. Mr.
Stewart haring given his reasons for the motion
• t length, it was moved to lay the motion on the
table—loat, yeas 83, nays 109.
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

rule in the National Councils, never to regain its
power. Slavery propagandism is at au end—and

."I'he Governor s it is understood, is busy
preparing his first annual message. 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

its present borders, by "compromise" ur
otherwise.
The foregoing two the principle posi

administration, as will be developed in the

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.

"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

NATCIIKZ, Dec. 12, 1848.
General Scott and lbe
A peragraph has been going the rounds statin g
that a reconciliation had taken place between
Gen. Scars and the present Admionstration, its
consequence of explanations said to hare been
made to him. The New York Courier, which no
&nth' speaks cc maw& a, has the following article
on the subjeCt

ico, and proceeded td' Washington last
June-!-stid suffering under, die effects of
climate and exposure in Mexico and therefore, confined to his house most of
the time, he transmitted to ; the War D e .
partment the vouchers of certain eipendi.
l ures made by him, and other official pe
ppers, with an endorsement that, not Sup
posing tin* existing oireuntstaitces, a vis
it from him would be expected of desired
by the Secretary or the President, he . (Gen.
Scott) contented himself with .forweiding
the papers in, question, and inviting that

De neither saw then, nor has he seen
since, any member of the, Administration,
save the Secretary of the Treasury--.M r ,
Wslker—who, with characteristtc, manli
ness, hearing of the arrival of Gen. Seott,
and of his indisposition, immediately
,eall
ed at his house, and with tho ladies of his
family, including his admirable mother-in
law, tendered their kindest offices to thu
well-deserving soldier, albeit under the bau
of the President and his toadies.
" 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

—During the severe storm. which passed
over our county un Saturday night a week.
about 12 o'clock, the most of our , citizens
were amused and alarmed by a very vivid
Bash of lightning, followed almost imme
diately by one of the loudest claps of thun
der ever heard by even that verf aged in
dividual, the "oldest inhabitant." 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

P 111111.4 mann A, June 24th, 1848.
Mr.' James F. Ross—Dear Sir—About the
middle of last winter I took a severe cold, at
tended with some cough, which troubled me
considerably. I took some simple medicine at
first, but neglected giving it that proper atten
tion it 'required. 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.
Tongue would fell to expieas much less pen de
describe; the pleasure I derived from the beneilt
of your valuable preptratiGn. The first tour
domettimiaiabed the frequency and violence of the
cough,, and enabled me to rest better at !light
Iliad not continued its use lung before I was
cure d a n itf ra iy, a n d h a ve enjoyed excellent health
up Ur llie present time. Several of my friends
have tried it writ, like success, and speak in the
highe.t terms of it. You should establish agen
cies here for the sale of it, that those who would
try It may be able to do so without sending to
your eitylor it.
