MORMON OUTRAGE&
Anther Mormon Outrages at Beaver
Island—Brutal and Ddiberate Murder
by the followers of Strang.
The miscreants who have gathered
themselves together upon Beaver;rslad,
under the tittle of Mormons, are makihg
rapid and sure progress in the degrees of
crime which lead from adultery, theft, ar
son. robbery, to deliberate murder.
It will be recollected by our readers,
that we published during the past winter,
several communications from the bland,
among which was one giving the particu
lars of the burning of the dwelling houses
Of two men by the name of Bennett.—
These Bennetts are not Mormons, nor
have they ever been; they happened to
be residents of the Island, and to be own
ers of property there, and were men of
good character and deportment. Strang.
who has been in Detroit jail, and is under
various indictments, has long sought the
ruin of these men, as well as that of other
“Gentiles," as he styles them ; and hie
threats "to drive them from the Island,
dead or alive," have been so often re
peated as to excite no apprehension,
until the burning of their houses du
ring the past winter by him ; since which
event the inhabitants of the Island. not
Mormons, have kept a close and constant
watch upon their houses and property.
The conditions upon 'which Strang of
fered immunity to these persons, was, that
they should become Mormons, and yield
themselves up to he governed by Mar
mon laws. Not seeing fit to comply with
this revolting alternative, these "Gentiles,"
have been constantly and particularly pur
sued in various ways ; at times by mock
ligitaGon, and at other ,times by inroads
upon their rights and property, without
color of law, until last week, when they
assembled together to the number of fifty
'or more, and proceeded to the dwelling
house of Thomas Bennett, armed with ri
fles. pistols, knives. Sac., and bearing, as
they said, a Mormon precept. authorizing
them to seize his person, and take his
property. Upon their approach, Bennett
closed his doors against them, telling them
not to enter ; upon which they fired some
forty shots into the house, the effect of
which was to drive T. Bennett forth to
I seek safety in flight; but when lie had
gained a few rods, he fell dead, pierced by
rifle balls, and forty buck-shot.
They next pursued the other Beniptt,
who fled instinctively; but after going a
few rods, remembered the condition of his
poor wife, (who was alone in the house.)
and returned to receive their shot just as
he crossed the threshold. His hand was
cut in two by-the shot, and the wound may
not be mortal. The fiends then took the
dead body of Thomas Bennett, and drag
ging it by the hair of the .head to the boat,
threw it in. and compelled Samuel Ben
nett. the wounded man, to follow and - 114
down by it; they thee drove the distract
ed• woman after them into the boat, and
took them a distance of five miles to the
, Harbor, where they held a post morlern
examination on the body of (*homes Ben
nett, with "jury composed of Mormons,
with the exception of three persons, who
were ..Gentiles;" at which it was propos
ed by the Mormon jurors, to bring in a
verdict that Bennett came to his death
while resisting the law ; while the persona
~ who were not Mormons decided that Ben
nett was deliberately murdered.
A fearful excitment prevailed towards
the miscreant Mormons among the Indians
on the island, who hate and fear them. as
well as among the white population who
are not-Mormons, and they were restrain
ed from. ex.icuting summary vengeance
upon the murdelers only through the ur
gent advice of Messrs. McKjnley, Bowers,
Moore, and Dinsmore, who had peranad

Tim Deseret News, of April Bth, contains
the "Fifth General Epistle" of the “Lat
ter ,Day Saints, front Salt Lake Valley, to
the Saints &altered thrnughoutthe earth."
The Epistle Cone Ans much statistical in
formation concerning the prosperity and
productiveness of this people and country.
This Epistle ol the Saints jubilate' ov
er the extension of Mormonism to all lands
—in Europe, Asia, Africa, the East and
West Indies, and America. This exten
sion and rapid gathering of the Saints is
proclaimed as a token of the Messiah's
neat approach. Then, again, the "Saints"
declare that civil dissentions, the cholera,
quarrels among Christain sects, earth•
quakes, whirlwinds, hurricanes, tornadoes,
&c., are sure signs that the second coming
of Christ is near at hand." Leaving heav
enly theorizing, the "Saints" come down
to earth. They say the winter has been)
mild, and very little snow ; several grain
and lumber mills have been built. Shing
les have been made, threshing machines
put into use, the council-house nearly fin
ished, the wartn.spring
,bath completed,
the tithing store in use, a pottery nearly
finished, a woolen factory to be erected,
and China ware and cutlery to be manu
factured.
In March the farmers sowed their wheat.
A colony of Mormons has been formed at
Iron county, 250 voiles south of Salt Lake
city—a few families, and 130 men, with
teams, seeds, and tools, were Bent out Dec.
7th last, and when last heard from they
had a field of 2,800 acres, 400 of it sown,
plenty of water, wood, iron, ore, alum,
and prospects of coal.
The "Quorum of Seventies" have agreed
to erect a great Rotunda in Salt Lake city,
to be called the "Seventies" Hall of
Science. Gov. Young is trustee and sup
erintendent.
About three hundred emigrants winter
ed with the "Saints," and left for the gold
digging in the spring.
A settlement is to be formed in the
southern part of California, not. far from
San Diego. and one hundred and fifty wag
ons, under the charge of Elder Lyman.
and Charles Hitch, started in March for
the place. A continuous line of stations
or places of refreshments to the Pacific,
on this route, is to be established. The
city is being formed into blocks, instead
of wards; shade-trees are planted, school
houses built, and measures taken to pre
vent depredations by California emigrants.
The Epistle informs us that the "twelve
apostles are abroad." except two. Orson
Hyde is in Iowa; Pratte is on his way In
the Society and Sandwich Islands and
Chili ; Orson Pratte is in the States, but
expected home ; Taylor was at Boulogne,
France, preaching, translating and publish-
lug ; Snow has visited the Italian States,
and is now located in Switzerland ; Eras
tus Snow is in Copenhagen, and the °good
work is prospering in Sweden, Denmark,
Norway, Geroviny, and all that region."
Richards is now presiding over the
..Clittrelt" in the British isles—him office
biting in Liverpool ; Smith is presiding in
Iron county, end the two Rich's are en
route to establish a settlement near SID
Diego.
Finally, the Epistle exhorts the Saints
in the United States and Canada. "ii they
wish to see the work of the Lord proper,"
to arise as one man, and come to Deseret,
•where they can do more for Zion in one
year than they can do in many years

FIRE ANNIHILATOR
V. El. PHILLIPS, Esq., of London has
invented an instrument, which lie calls by
the above name, and which, it is said, will
extinguish the most destructive fire in the
short space of five minutes. The agent
which is used, for the accomplishment of
this most desirable end, is an anti-coin bus-
live gas. which may be employed with
perrect safety to both life and property.
but acts as an instantaneous destroyer of
flame. The apparatus is almost as porta-I
ple as a fire bucket and the remedy so easy
of application that it may be suecesfully
put in operation by a child. The Fire'
Annihilator is coining into universl use in
England and on some parts of the Conti
nent, and will doubtless be introduced into
United States, at tho earliest possible date.
TO Royal Commissioners have directed
them to be introduced into the Chrvstsl
Palace for the protection of the valuable
articles there collected, and the incalculable
benefit I to be derived from them is being
duly appreciated by the English people
generally. The facts in relation to this
invention are abundantly authentic, and
we may congratulate ourselves on the die
eovery of an agent which will put an end
to the ravages of this subtle and terribly de
woody° element, and one, too, which
may be kept in every house and applied
with saftey and certainty whenever occa
sion may require.

MAMMA?' ,ICHASOES AGAINST
PENN have been refined by the discovery
of some valuable documents relating to the
life of the Duke of Monmouth. Penn
was stomped of extorting money. for nego
tiating pardons for persons condemned to
death. A. cash book bar been found by
Mr; Roberts. in which it is recorded
that a Mr. Pinney. an ancestor of Wm.
Pinney, Esq., M. P.. was condemned to
death, and that hi, ransom was paid to
one "`George Penne." Documents which
were searched in the State Paper office
by Mr. Roberts for materials for his life of
the Duke of Monmouth, snow that "Mr.
I Penne" was in no one instance innuided
for William Penn; therefore, the founder
of Pennsylvania is entirely exculpated
from the serious charges made against his
memory by Mr. Memuley. ,

by starting early, and Wm. F. Johnston
is doomed to defeat if there is any virtue
SILL EMMA AND OINGER CAKES
But euppoee we explain beture we go
further.
The Morning Post under the expressive
caption of 4Ancedote of Cof Bigler," re.
publishes and pronounces "characteristic"
a story of the democratic nominee for
Governor. which is now going the rounds
of the Democratic press.
The story runs that a Sunday SChool
Celebration was held in the woods up in
Clearfield, and the day proved rather cold
for the little folks, when, as the narrator
say.:
A tall, stout looking man walked into The
woods, took out Insfluit and steel, struck a light.
and soon made • good fire. A few speeches
wets made, then dinner. consisting of cakes, lie..
was handed round. Our man of the flint and
steel brought the cakes, passed them round, slap
ped one little fellow on the hack. pulled another's
hair, all good humordly, and then took his seat
with his back against a tree, sitting on a root.
This is the gist of the ••Anecdote" and
we need not bold our columns with incon
sequent matter. And now we think we
see our readers waiting for the startling
denouement. The man of the flint and
steel was, whom, think ye ? Bill Bigler ?
It was nobody elsel !!
Clorious Oil' Bigler. remarkable ginger
cakes, fortunate fellow" who was
"slapped on the back," immortal bother
hide fellow who had his •'hair pulled,"
wonderful Bill Bigler to do all this ••good
humoreilly," then "sit on a root" with
"his hack against a tree."
This is a gres} country and we are a
wonderful people;but it may well be doubt
ed whether ever before one of our great
men was so characteristically certified to
the confidence and affections of the people
as is •Hill Bigler" by the story of the gin-
ger cakes.
An ordinary person deporting himself
AP Bill is said to have done, would have
been challenged fir his impudence and ob.
trosiveness, and kicked out. But in Bill
Bigler it was charming simplicity and con
descension ; the hair pulling was evidence
of the most amiable personal ocharacteris
tics," and the speech he afterwards inflict
ed on the party unbidden, must be regard
ed by the pious as a noble contribution to
the Sabbath School Cause. ,
We repeat "Wm. F. Johnston is fium
mixed.'"Fhe unterritied are gathering
their hosts under the banners of the De
mocracy, inscribed
"BILL BIOLLR AND OINOER CARES;
and already we feel that they are victor
ious before the Cake Campaign has fairly
opened.
We do all that lies in our power to a
vert defeat by thus warning the Whigs
fully of the prime difficulty they must en
unter in the campaign that is opening
before them. If they cannot overcome
the prestige of ginger cakes, Bill Bigler is
Governor and Johnston's cake is dough.
POLITIC* IN COLLEGES.
The young men in the College of South
Carolina having recently organized a South
ern Rights Association, issued a fiery ad
dress and resolutions and called upon the
dtudents of other Southern colleges to res
pond. The ..b'hoys" of the Tennessee
University, (says the Petersburg Intern
gencer,) have taken up the subject and re
plied in the following resolutions, which
are worthy of Old Hickory himself, in his
palmiest days:
Resolved, That we' deprecate the spirit
in which the association originated, and
also the uncalled-for interference of School
boys in political affairs, which they should
ever entrust to the care and supervision of
their seniors and superiors.
Resolved, That the address published
and distributed by the members of the as
sociation is fraught with a spirit of treason;
insurrection, and civil war, whblly ab
horrent to every true friend of civil liber
ty ; and that the principles therein advoca
ted can in nowise redound to the interests
and welfare of the South. '4
Resolved, That, believing as we do the
ultimate object of the association is•a die
solution of the Union, we diadem all con
nexion or communication therewith.
Resolved, That though the South has
not obtained all that could have' been,,dft
sired in the adjustment of the slavery
question, the difficulty has, nevertheless,
been settled in a manner entirely honora
ble to and without sacrifice On the part o
the South.
Reseeed, Thai we remain immoveable
in our attachment to the Union, prompt
ed, not by the rebellious principle which
ttley advocate, "Liberty first and Union
afterwards," but by that noble and glori-
MI sentiment, "LISKIITIf AND UNIDN, NOW
AND IPORIVER, ONO AND INO6PARABLZ."
PAINE'S Gas.—The Nashua (Mac.,)
Gazette states that Franklin Hall, in that
place, was lighted with Paine's Light, on
Tuesday stream! last. Mr. Paine himself
was present. and gave a lecture. He was

Pommel ow Nnw Comrown,--The
new costume for ladies appears destined to
work a revolution in New England, at
lent. In Boston, when they do get hold
of an ism or "a notidn," they pursue it
with a forty transcendentalist energy. A
writer in the Traveller, there, tells of meet
ing "eleven ladies clad in the new cos.
tume," in the course of a short ,walk in
Washington street, and the Journal and
the Traveller are clearly out in favor of
the novel rig, The Traveller, of Friday,
says :
"Bloomerism is evidently in the ascen
dant. From every quarter we hear of la
dies who have had the courage—S ome call
it the manliness—to assume 1w dress.
As a general thing, these are isolated oases
—it being only here and there, in any
community, that a lady is willing to run
the gauntlet of prejudice and gaping curi
osity—an- ordeal to which the adoption of
any material change in dress is neces
sarily exposed. Lowell, however, as we
are credibly informed, is rapidly becoming
a perfect Bloomerdom ; and already the
new dress is the ruling fashion. A gen
teman who was in the city of spindles and
spinsters, yesterday, informs us, upon his
honor as a bachelor, that he saw as many
as filty very pretty ladies adoned with the
Bloomer costume. And the dress makers
there, are so overrun with business that
orders have necessarily to he given some
time in advance. 0110 hatter had sold,
within a few days, as many as two hun
dred of the Bloomer hats."
Five of the most lovely and pleasing
belles of Somerville, Mass., had also pub
licly appeared in the new costume.
Meantime, the Bloomers are not having
it all their own way in the "literary em
porium." They are burlesquing the thing
at the theatres—Miss Ann Cruise repre
senting the veritable "Mrs. 'Bloomer,"
Mrs. Prior taking the part of the renown
ed •Mrs. Swisslielm," and Mrs. Vincent,
that of the excellent "Mrs. Partington."—
In New York, Broughansis about to bring
out a similar piece.
GREAT TONERE MEETINO.—The general
conference of the Tunkers is now in ses
sion near New Hobe, Agitate, Va. The
Staunton Spectator says :
"It is composed of preachers from every
part of the United States, where the seat
prevails. We were at the meeting on
Sunday, and are satisfied from personal
observation. that it was the largest assem
blage of people ever drawn together in
this part of the country. Various estimates
of the number present were made by per
sons familiar with large crowds; ranging
from five In ten thousands. Besides the
people, there were from ten to fifteen acres
of horses, in the woods. There seemed
to be one or more horses tied to every tree,
as far as the eye could penetrate the dark
forest, contiguous to the church.

REDEMPTION OF MARYLAND DEBT.-;
The Commissioner of Loans for the
State of Maryland, under instructions from
the State Treasurer, will pay. on the lat
of July next, the balance of the outstand-1
ing funded stock issued for arrear interest.
This stock, it will be recollected. was is
sued for interest in arrear during the sus
pension of the State from 1842 to 1848.
On the Ist of July next the State will have
paid all the stock issued for arrear inter
est, amounting to $878.733 45. The first
payment in redemption of this stock was
made in October. 1849, and the whole will
have been paid, with interest, in less than
two years. It will be gratifying to every
true son of Maryland to know these facts,
constituting as they do the substantial ev
idences of the strict maintainance of the
State's faith and of the steady and sure re
demption of her public debt. having thus
disposed of the funded arrears of interest,
the surplus means of the State will hereaf
ter be exclusively applied to the reduction
of her funded debt proper.—Arnerican.
Do THE LOCUSTS STING ? is the prominent
question now before the people. The point
so long mooted, as to whether saltpetre
will explode or not, is thrown entirely in
to theshade thereby. The distinguished en
tytnologist, Gideon B. Smith, Esq., who
baa shown himself so knowing beyond all
others in regard to the locust, contends
that they do not sling, yet every now end
then a case like the following presents it
self. The Philadelphia Ledger, of Tues
day, says:—
"Mrs. Smith. a lady living near Fourth
and George streets, Northern Liberties.l
while passing from her dwelling to a store I
in the neighborhood. on Monday morning,
was struck upon the arm by a locust.
The immediate effect was a sensation of
pain in the arm, and a swelling of the en
tire limb with marks of discoloration. She
was alarmed, of course, and very fortunate
ly for her, Dr Janney was in the vicinity,
who, upon being informed of the circum
stance, applied a remedial antidote to the
wound. The condition of the arm appear
ed to improve during the day under the ap
plication."
TRAGEDY. IN KENTUOICY.—The Frank
fort Commonwealth gives an account of a
tragic affair at Boonville, Oweley county,
Kentucky, on the 12th of May last.—
There load been some difficulty between
William Moore, John Moore and John
Reece, brothers-in-la vg in relation to the
division of some prolierty. On that day
they met in the open street and had some
conversation which resulted in blows.—
The two Moores attacked Reece with
sticks and stones, and he defended himself
with a large butnher'knife, with which he
stabbed his assailants in such a manner
that they both' died in about ten hours.—
The deceased each left a wife and family.
Reece was severely beaten, but is expect
ed to recover.

DEPOPULATION OF IRELAND.--'nie Dub
lin Evening Post states that an official re
turn of the Commissioners, relative to jhe
population of Ireland, has not been pub
lished ; but from the returns from some
loattlities, it is apprehended that the entire
census will exhibit a decrease in the pop
ulation of nearly two millions since 1841.
The Post gives instances of the decrease.
In tpe small city of Cashel in 1841,the pop-
Anion was 7,030 ; now 4,780 ; Limerick
in 1841, 48,303; now, in round numbers,
44,000 ; in one of the Baronies of Queen's
county. Shenemarague, the population has
diminished - from 17,014 to 11.500 ; in
Corlingford, county of Louth, the decrease
has been from 1.110 to 877. The parish
of Annadown, Galway, in 1841. had a pop
ulation of 7,108 ; in 1851 it is reduced to
3,663, or very nearly one•hall.
AN OLD PRINTER.-A. W. Penwell,
a printer, 86 years of age—the eldest in
the United Stales—commenced his ap
prenticeship of seven years in the King's
Printing Office, London, in 1784, sixty
eight years ego. He was a soldier under
Sir John Moore, at Corrinna, in Spain,
in 1809, where he received a ball in his
right arm. He was present at the burial
of Sir John Moore, and remembers the
minutest particulars of the scene. He
was also with the duke of Wellington
through his whole campaign, and lost an
ankle bone by a grape shot in the battle
of Waterloo. Ile is now "working at
case" in Boston.
Mr. Wm. 11. Cox, of St. Louis, who
committed suicide at Congress Nall, A!-
batty, on Monday evening last, by cutting
his throat, had arrived the day before from
New York city, where he had been led
into a series of excesses. Front a letter
which he left, it seems he was handled
by fears of arrest for some crone of which
he declares his innocence. His friends
had furnished him money to get home.—
Ile says : "Young men, beware of intem
perance ! I never committed, or contem
plated a crime in aught else. This hor
ror is a great one. 1 pray God may for-
give me."
Mtsstssu•rt Pot.trics.—A letter to the
editor of the Columbus Tunes, dated Pres

ever known, short 01 absolute revolution,
is now on the eve of commencing. Can
didates, and many who never have been,
and never expect to he candidates, are al

Mr. Jesse Samuels. of Allentown, Pa.,
has invented a machine for making bricks,
different in construction and principle from

TRIAL OT A PRIEST VOR SEDUCTION.-
In the Common Pleas of Springfield.
Mass., Rev. J. J. Doherty. the Catholic
priest. was on trial on Wednesday, for the
seduction of Miss Monagan, the indictment
for rape having been abandoned. The girl
was organist in his church, teaching in his
school. and resided in the priest's family.
She swore to their constant intercourse,
after he had first partly forced her; to his
sending her to New York to be educated. 1
his coming there, going round to the thea

conduct at a breakfast table in a New
York hotel, which, in their opinion, indi

plainiiff's counsel hereupon gave notice of
a probable settlement between the parties,
when the court adjourned to Thursday.—
Some little testimony was introduced by
the defence to show that she might proba

. .
The Locoftwo State Convention la 15 00110 ate
candidates for Judges of the Supreme Coon, met
in the Hall of the House of Repreerrutetivesi et
Harrisburg, on the 16th hot. Tire Hon. Lis.
M. POITSI, of Northampton, was chosen tempo
rary Chairman. Among the Secretaries was
Hintz J. Srtazz, Esq., of Adams county. The
contested seats of delegates from Philadelphia
county was determined in favor of those represent
ing the Buchanan and Campbell wing. The
dis
puted seat' from Lancaster lead to a long debate,
in which Mr. Wilmot of Bradford, and Col. Black,
participated, Wilmot favoring the admission of
the "Frazer" delegates The vote was then ta
ken and the Buchanan or Anti-Frazer delegates
were admitted by a vote of 85 to 30. Several oth
er contested were similarly disposed of, and the
Convention, at 10 o'clock in the evening, adjourn
, ed over to Thursday morning.
On Thursday the Convention was permanent.
ly organized by designating Hon. W tit •ar Wet,
cram, of Allegheny, President, and Hon. Simon
Cameron, Hon. James M. Porter, and thirty oth
ers, Vice Presidents. with a number of Secretaries.
Nominations were then made for Judges, and af
ter other unimportant business, the Convention
adjourned to dinner.
In the afternoon, it was agreed, after considera
ble discussion, that each delegate should vote for
five persons for Judges, and those five having the
highest number, if a majority of all the votes,
should be declared nominated. The first ballot
was then had and resulted as follows :
Jeremiah S. Black, 98 James Thompson, 36
James Campbell, 87 John L. Maynard, 93
Ellis Lewis, 78 C. W. Woodward, 29
J. Bannister Gibson, 69 Richard Coulter, 23
Walter H. Lowrie, 68 A. 8. Wilson, 21
Luther Kidder, 61) Walter C. Rogers, 15
Thomas 8. Bell, 56 Joel Jones, 6
Sixty-seven votes being necessary to a choice,
and five candidates having received a higher num
ber, viz :—Jeremiah S. Black, of Somerset ; ice.
Campbell, of Philadelphia ; Ellis Lewis, of Lan
caster ; John B. Gibson, of Cumberland, and
Walter H. Lowrie, of Allegheny, they were de
clared duly nominated as the Democratic candi
date. for Judges of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania.
Judge Gibson is the only one of the present Su
preme Bench on the ticket thus presented ; and
he, notwithstanding his acknowledged abilities,
was saved by only two votes—the Convention not
being sufficiently well assured of his partizan
character. Indeed, Mr. Guernsey, of Tioga, op
posed the usual resolution endorsing the nomina
tions, remarking that he could not vote for Judge
Gibson until he "changed his political faith."—
Messrs. Lewis, Black, and Lowrie, will probably
give satisfaction to the Democracy, though by no
means among their strongest men. Judge. Cam
pbell will be the most obnoxious, end will be bad
ly struck by his own party—especially in Phila
delphia, where his judicial administration has been
so partizan and exceptionable as to draw from
Judge Parsons, Col. Page, Mr. Brewster, and oth
er leading Democrats a protest against his notni-
Motion, on the ground of l uitotorious incompeten
cy" and s want of the proper requisites of an im
partial Judiciary. The Philadephia correspond
ent 01 the Baltimore Sun remarks upon the feeling
in the former city as follows : •
“There is considerable dissatisfaction in the
Democratic party st the nominations made for the
supreme Bench by the Darriebum Convention .
The nomination of Judge Campbell is considered
ste a most indiscreet act, and will lead to the de
test. nf „ the whole ticket, provided the Whigs act
udicioti,ly in the selection of their candidates."
IBesides, there is dis.atisfact ion among the op
minion in the Noi Meru counties in the State—
none of the candidates being front that section,
although several names wire warmly pressed in
Con Tention.
Next week the Whig Convention will make
its nominations. Should they he judiciously se
lected, the State will he Whig next fall in all its
branches.
rirln noticing the attack upon Judge Des
sea, by "A Citizen" of the York &pubbran, we
did not design engaging in a controversy upon the
question of the Judge's integrity or fidelity as a
Judicial officer, nor shall we permit ourselves to
be drawn into one—at least not until "A Citizen"
shall have given evidence of the possession of
the same virtue which he charges Judge Durkee
with being deficient in, by throwing aside the mask
under which these assaults are being made, and
manfully assuming the responsibility of endorsing
them, in propria persona. It is a very easy thing
to charge others with,„l want of moral courage, in
assuming responsibility, but it is not always quite
as easy a task to illustrate in one's own person
this particular virtue. And of this "A Citizen"
seems to be quite well satisfied, as is evidenced by
his studied efforts to conceal his true colors.
"A Citizen," in seeking to fasten upon Judge
DURK tz an imputation of doable•drnlieg in
connection with the Sunday Liquor Traffic, in
York and Adams counties, alluded to the recent
action of our Court in such • wily as to leave
the impresesion upon the reader that Ant the Judge
had volunteered himself as a champion of the
Temperance cause, with a view of "making cap•
ital" among the friends of Temperance in this
county. Conceiving that injustice had been done
the Judge by this representation, we gave th
fads connected with the closing of the bars on
the Sabbath, under a recent 'onler of our court,
and nothing more, With that statement of facts
we are spite content to leave the matter to the
people of York county, who are doubtless es well
qualified to Judge of the merits of the hunts be
tween "A Citizen" and Judge Douala as we, and
probably more so.
We may remark. however, that the attack of
"A Citizen" has in no war taken us by surprise.
Some weeks back we had been advised by a
friend that there was 'rod in pick/r' for the Judge,
in connection with this Temperance issue, which
would be beard of ere long, through the columns
of the "Rettlican." The bitterness of "A Citi
zen's" replro our statement of facts. shows that
our informant was not mistaken as to the motive
in which this assault originates. All this, we
presume, is quite well understood. We have on
ly to say in regard to it, that if Judge Dynast
elands as high in the confidence of the people of
York county, so far as concerns all the req . uisitea
of a learned, capable, upright, and impartial Judge,
(and we.have yet to be assured of the contrary,).
as he does in the confidence and good opinion of
all parties in Adams county, the efforts *fort Citi
zen" and his co-laborers so to prejudice his Judi•
end reputation as the secure his defeat i neixt fall,
will all prove to be "love's labor lost." .

The vote will be found page 129, Senate Jour
nal, 1847.
Bigler nom embraces with ardor the cause of
Buchanan, who, in 1847, was opposed to the
Wilmot Proviso. He has accepted a nomination
for Governor, and placed himself upon the plot
form of • Convention which titterly repudiated
anything like a vestige of Anti-Slavery feeling,
and is now supported by Mr. Buchanan's friends
who denounced the Wilmot Proviso as "an inven
tion of the Devil." Bigler is certainly a remark
ably consistent man.—Daily
rii"The Democratic Convention at Reeding
have taken very strong Southern ground, and the
Pittsburg Post says again, in the close of an ar
ticle on the subject, the “Democracy of the North
are the natural allies of the South." Stick a fin
there. There will be some backing out before
next October. The Post says :
"The Democracy of the North have heretofore
been referred to as the natural allies of the South .
This is a truth that has never been more fully de
monstrated than in the present instance 1"
M r, Sanitarian has been charged with deeliring
that the "Democracy of the North were the natu
ral allies of the South," and we have had occa
sion to contradict the charge on his personal ap
plication. But the Pitti'mrg Morning Poet takes
the responsibility of renewing the declaration, and
affirming that the Penn.ylvania Democracy have
now in an especial manner shown themselves the
natural allies of Slavery. We call the attention
of all men, of all parties, to this new avowal of
the Democracy of Pennlylvania.—Pittsbarg Corn.

An Important Screw Loose.
The Sunburg American, edited by H. B. Mas
ser, Egg , a leading and influential member of the
opposite party, announces the nominations made
at Harrisburg last week in the following style :,
"Under our telegraphic head, will be
found the proceedings of the Harrisburg
Convention. J. B. Gibson, Lewis, Black.
Lowry and Campbell, constitute the ticket
presented. We shall give it, with the ex
ception of James Campbell, our warmest
support. They are well known and pop.
ular Men, and learned and distinguished
lawyers. As for Mr. Campbell, we can
promise him our untiring efforts to effect
his defeat. Setting aside his notorious in
competency and want of legal learning, the
manner in which he procured his nomina
tion is enough to damn him forever. We
speak the sentiments of a majority of our
democratic friends."
THE BRITISH TA MITA— We mentioned
a few day■ since, onyx the Pittsburg Commercial
Journal, that the Steamer Venture had delivered
at Beaver, Pennsylvania, two hundred tun■ of
Railroad iron, to be laid on the Oltio and Penn
sylvania railroad. We omitted to etude what is
now very forcibly brought to our mind, that this
was British iron !
Think of it! British irpn brought into the greet
iron manufacturing State of Pennsylvania, within
five and twenty miles of the Iron City ! "Carry
ing coals to New Castle" is no longer an apt fig
gure of speech. It is "bringing British /rws into
Pennsylvania" that illustrates the folly of doing
the very last thing on earth that should be thought
of. The British Tariff Democracy have all the
credit of the new idea, but who suffers 1 The
workingmen and the farmers can answer.
British iron in Pennsylvania, teen in Pittsburg.
is perhaps what the Democrats referred to when
they ridiculed "the Home market"
larlicwar Box &tows, who escaped from
slavery to Philadelphia, in a box, is exhibiting
throughout England a panorama of Slavery. He

ments have been made for the re-construction of
the Franklin Railroad, between Chambersbucg
and Hagerstown. The work will be commenced
in two or three weeks, alter which time about
two miles per week of heavy T rails will he put
down. The work will be completed as far as
Greencastle this fall, and continued to Hager.-

FIRE I—Yesterday morning, between one and
two o'clock, our citizens were misruled by the cry
of fire, caused by the burning of the Bakelouse
belonging to the County Alme.bourre near this
Borough. The MOthiliff was calm, fortunately,
which prevented the destruction of other buildings.
The fire originated, it is supposed, In the apart

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
San liVanciiteoln ..telies—LThe Notch/ and
Custom HMI Burned—Millions of
P roperty destroyed.
Ng* , ° SWIM Jane 13.
The steamship Alabama arrived at this
port from Chagrea, with California news two
weeks later than previous advice,.
She brings the lamentable and !astonishing in
telligence that the city of San Francisco has been
almost entirely deatroyed by one of the most de
structive conflagrations ever known in thid or any
other continent.
. Property to the amount of fifteen thillions of
dollars is believed to have been destroyed.
Among the buildings destroyed are the Custom
House, the Union, Parker's, the National, the
New World, the Dity, Detmonico's, and the Ex
change hotel.; alto Rose's building', and the o fiS.
ere of the Steamship Company.
The fire spread to the shipping, consuming a
large number of vessels which were lying ■t the
wharves. It was first discovered In Clay street.
and ran through one dozen blocks, quickly spread
ing to the other parts of the city—a greater part
of which now lies in a beep of ruins. Hunter,
George, Maine, Centre and El Dorado streets are
completely gutted.
The utmost constemetion prevailed during the
fire, and thousands were turned out of houses and
home, having lost their all.
.Measures were about being adopted to relieve
the distress of the afferent. It is feared a num
ber of lives have lost. Business was entirely lost
sight ot.
The news from the mines continues to be of a
cheerrng character.
New discoveries were daily being made, and
prospects of the miners were highly favorable.
The quarts crushing machines were reaping a
rich reward, in some instances. the average per
man was from $2O to $0 per day.
Lynch law is still in force, and several new ax.
amplea have been made.
Seth Clover.
The Butler County Whig thus speaks of Beth
Clover, the Democratic Federal candidate for Ca
nal Cummiaalooer :
The nomination of Mr. Bigler was gen
erally anticipated, but the nomination of
Seth Clove'r has taken both Whigs and Lo
cofocos of this region Eby surprise. Per
hsps within the broad limits of the Com
monwealth there could nut have been se
lected a man so utterly destitute of the
qualities requisite to a faithful and compe
tent discharge of the duties of a member
of the Canal Board. Utterly unfitted as
Mr. Clover is by nature and educatitin to
become the dep os itory of any important
trust, it is to us a m atter of unfeigned sur
prise that he h a s received the nomination.
Locofocotana must h a ve been in its dotage
and have forgotten its ancient cunning
when it nominated a man so utterly and
notoriously incompetent as Seth Clover. If
the Whigs can't beat him they may as well
hang their harps upon the willows.
Col. Bigler, in his speech before the
Reading Convention, describilig the diffi
culties encountered by the ship of State
amid the adverse winds anti breakers of
State Rights, Territorial Rights, and the
extension of slavery, goes off iu the follow
ing sublinie rhapsody !
"The 'alarm came l--all hands to the
rescue, Wits the common cry, and he who
had heretofore rested on his couch came ;
anti he who had inclined to tautioN came ;
and he who had differed with his fellow
sailors came ; these all united their of
they subdued and bound the diso
bedient anti turbulent of the crew."
Now we should like to know—if all
hands helped to right the ship, including
the mutinous and disaffected—who were
the disobedient and turbulent that remain
ed to be subdued and bound? Must hare
been the "rest of mankind !"—Reading
