Not nuch Grieved.
• The Pottsville Emporium, the organ of
the Schuylkill Democracy, doer not seem
in ne much grieved at the defeat of Cul.
Forney, and appears to be rather inclined
to sustain the boiling members from that
county, Messrs, Lebo. and Wagonsoller.
who voted forlien. Cameron. It says :
.
The causes which led to the defeat of Col.
John W. Forney, the Democratic nominee,
were manifold ; and, taken singly, many of
the übjectiOns to him were sufficient to ensure
his overthrow, even had they not combined to
produce this result.
Ju the first place, the announcement, a
month or two ago, that Mr. Forney would he a
amdidate fur the United States Senate, was
received with surprise allover the State. Ma
ny good men had been named for that post,
antimony oho had older claims upon the par
ty were ter* to stand back and make way
'tor the Wheatlandpet.
The Emporium in another article says:
The election of Generol Cameron over John
W. Forney has taken many by, surprise, but
when we look at the matter in all its phrases,
it knot so surprising after all, that the blood
of the Highlanders should prove in this instance
too much for the • Huguenots. Forney's most
active friends here are very apt to defeat De
mocratic
,e'lludidates, if they do not come ex
' netly up to their mondani of liemocrecy, with
every i dotted, and every t crossed. These ex
treme gantlernan should bear in mind that in
polities, there are always blows to be given as
welt as blows to be receryd. Bat there were
t
' other reasons why Mr. For ey was not so strong
in the affections of all the Democrats as was de
skiable and necessary to - his success. It is well
kfiown that he is one of the strongest, if not the
strongest pro-slavery man in the North. A.
gain he was accused of favoring the repeal of
1 the dutyOn Railroad Iron, which it is believed
would injure our coal producing and iron Coun
ties. These questions .operated against him
and rendered his election impossible. Then, as
to Generel Cameron, why, if the Democratic
nominee was so odious to a portion of the De
trim:many, the General is justVilfir man for the
coal region ; he manfully battled 'for the great
interests ofSchuylkill when in the Senate a few
yearn ago ; so it is very certain Schuylkill coun
ty has gained by the defeat of Forney, who is
'too much of an office hunter nod spoils leader
ever to he useful to any industrial interest. We
can, therefore, tied sufficient excuse for our
members. •
We can also point to the fact the prominent
politicians of Schuylkill county have nearly al.
ways been favorable to Gen. Cameron. An
exdmincition of old correspondences will go far
to prove this, and go far also, to embarrass
some of those who are met prominent in de
nouncinglrlessts. Wtigonseller and Lebo.
The Sunbury American, one of the Demo
cratic Organs of Northumberland county,
says:
The result is not surprising; and was, in a
degree, anticipated by the oppenents,, as well
as the friends of (lett. Cameron, esp ecially
i at
ter the nomination of Mr. Forney, n • caucus.
Mr. Forney is undoubtedly a gentleman of tal
ant, but was not deenfed, in the .estinintion of
many Democrats, as the proper persdn_to rep
resent this State in the U. S. Senate. He had
given no evidence that he possessed those qual
ities of Statesmanship that should be found in
the person occupying that station. In this re

• Mr. BUCHANAN, lbe gossip tells ns,
will write his inaugural with an eagle quill,
not phicketi by man from the wing, but
the free gift of our milional-bird. It ap
pears that Senator I3nowm. of Mississippi,
was proclaiming the certain election of
Mr. BUCIIANAN, when a feather dropped
at his feel, from the wing of an eagle tha t
was Hying over. The gentleman preserv
ed the quill, and bud it forwarded to Mr.
BUCHANAN.
IL is a great pity to spoil so rmantio a
Story, but as this is a prosaic age, and we
have to do with matter of fact people. we
venture to give, on good authority, the
following version of the manner in which
this particular eagle's feather was actually
procured, and the keen and sarcastic re
mark its proposed. use elicited from a Re
publican Senator.
Senator BROWN was visiting a friend in
the neighborhood of Washington, who has
in a caga a fine bald eagle. While this
friend was exilibiting it to his guest, the
imprisoned bird dropped from his wing n
feather, which Senator BROWN picked up,
exclaiming he would forward it as a pres
ent to Mr. BUCHANAN. On his return to
Washington, he met Mr. SEWARD, and,
after relating the incident, told him he in
tended to send this feather from an eagle's
wing to the President elect, that be might
appropriately make use of it in writing
his inaugural address. :"Bumph !"' re
spondcd SWARD quietly, in his dry way
—"An Eagle--a caged Eagle; a SLAVE
EAGLE!"
What a world of meaning is couched in
those few, but significant words, and how
completely they destroy all the romance
concerning the Eagles feather.— Hun is

NICARAGUA AS IT N.—Wu have before
us a map of Nicaragua, which we have
examined with some attention. It shows
that while the Republic is in the extent of
its territory quite formidable, amounting
in all to something like 50,000 square
miles, Walker has at no time been able to
make a lodgement of more than two or
three points. To be sure these are near
the lake, and thus are important in posi
tion if he could have maintained himself
there. Nicaragua is 250 miles in length
by about 150 in breadth iu the widest
part, and this includes both lakes, but not
any potion of the Mosquitp territory.—
The level of Lake Nicaragua übove the
Pacific ocean is 128 feet, and that of Lake
Managua above the Pacific is 150 feet.—
The population is estimated at 265,000
and thus divided: W hites 30,000; negroes
19,000; Indians 84,000; mixed 135 000.
The principal places are thus inhabited;
Leon 30,000; Massava 111 000 ; Managua
13,000 ; Granada 12,000 ; Onitiendagn
14,000 ; Vialejo 1,400; New Puebla
3,3 (0: Token 1.200; Chiebigalpa 3,000 ;
Posaltiga 1.100; Acoyspa 1,100.
In this connection, and us possessing
interest, we subjoin the population of
Central America, which is divided into
five states, as follows :

Jackson Moll, ititl the negroes who voted
for him doubtless voted for the hero of
New Orleans likewise."

Purgative Pills. They afford almost immedi

recommend them exclusively in these diseases.
To enhance their value, being coated with su

so that a child can take them as easy as pep
permint drops ; and then again they value°
not the slightest sensation of gripe or nausea.
In short they are so neachstmerior to any oth

any person a patrun of them for life ; and so

W"The School Directors of the Borough
invite proposals for erecting the now School
Building, on High street, nearly opposite the
Jail.. We have been favored with an exami
nation of the plan and specifications, which
have hoer prepared by Mr. SAMUEL S Lona, a
distinguished Philadelphia architect. When
finished the building will be an ornament to
the town, anti admirably adapted to the multi
of our School system. It will be a two-story
building, with four large rooms on the Arm
floor, for Primary Schools, and two separate
clothes.rooms iu whielt children will deposit
their hats, cloaks,ahawls, &c. The partitions
will be made of glass and so arranged as to
give the Superintendent command of the
whole floor; and enable the, four rooms to be
thrown into one, if necessary. The second'
floor will contain ono large. room ,capable of
accommodating 260 scholars, with two class
.rooms, abd twoelothes rooms. This depart
-ntent will contain the more advanced. schools.
It is thought by thosc who havo carefully ex
amined the subjnct, that tho erection of thia
building wiU enable the Board not only to in
trodiice greater effiehnicy into the operations
of tpur_ public achools, but .effeet in the - end - a
great saving to tax-payers, 'by securing -the
same amount of instruction with better result*,
for less money,. than under the present system

WASHINGTON, JP.n, p.—The tariff bill,
modille4, as reported by Mr. Campbell, of
Ohio, to day, embraces the following features:
The schedules of 5, 10 and 15 per cent. of the
act of 1846, with few exceptions, are absorbed
be the free list. The 40 per cent, schedule,
principally spices, is also, with dm exceptions
of a few items, carried to the free list, which
reduces the revenue about $6,000,000.
The 100 per cent schedule—" Spirits," is
broughtdown one-half. Sugar, molasses, lead,
salt, wool and hemp aro put at 10 per cent.
reducing the revenue's about 37,000,000.
'lron, cotton, woollen and silk manufactures
arc retained as now. The old 20 and 25 per
cent. schedules are not materially changed.—
Some items in them are carried to the free
list. The direct reduction annually is about
313,000,000, which it is supposed will be in

Affections, arise 'from some derangement either
torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Liver.
Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and render
it unfit fur digestion:, This, is disastrous to the
health, and the constitution is frequently under
mined by nciother cause. Indigestion is tfie:syinp
tom. Obstruction' of the duet which empties the
bile into the 'stomach causes the bile to overflow
into the blood. This produces Jaundice, with a
long and dangerous train of evils. Costiveness, er
alternately costiveness and diarrhoya, prevails.
Feverish symptoms, hinguor,low spirint,•Weurillest,

ability. to sleep, and sometimes greet drowsiness;
sometimes there is severe pain in the chic ' the skin
