PITTSBURGH, FORT WAYNE 8: CHI CAGO RAILROAD.--APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AND SEQUESTRA . TOR. _ On Tuesday of this week, Messrs. Moran and Von Hoffman, of New York, representing certain - persons holding bonds issued by the Oiliol'en • Pennsylvania 'lanceted Company, made application to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, for an injunction and Receiver for the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne 4e Chicago itailrdad. On this ex-parte application the Ceurt, on Wednesday, granted the injuction,and named J. K. Edgerton, E-q., of Fort Wayne, Ind., and the Vice President of the Company, Re- ceiver. 31s these proceedings were without notice to the Company, and of course no counsel being present to repiesent them, the Court made a preliminary decree, with leave upon the part of the company, to move for the vacation of the present Receiver and the modification of the decree, the whole proceeding being with out prejudice to the rights of the company. Domestic creditors here, having judgments against the Company, hearing of the above proceedings, and being apprehensive that their rights might be sacrificed, yesterday applied to the District Court for a Sequestrator. The ap plication was made by Messrs. Park, M'Curdy & Co., and others, and granted by the Court, appointing T. Haskins Du Puy, Esq., Segues - trator. This prompt movement on the part of Park, M'Curdy ,Sz . Co., and others, will prevent the bondholders seizing upon the road, to their prejudice, and to the prejudice of this city. If the Receiver appointed by the United States District Court in Ohio should undertake to obtain possession of the road in this State. we presume our State Courts woald resist to the last extent of their authority. We understand that the officers of the Com pany here, not being advised of the disposition of the earnings of the road by the decree of the Ohio court, did not feel warranted in op posing the domestic creditors, as they might thereby do great injustice. With the road in the hands of different re ceivers, it is evident that the public creditors and shareholders must greatly suffer, and it is to be hoped that it will not long remain so. It seems to us that the New York representatives of the bondholders have pursued a very ill-ad vised course, and aro the really responsible par ti the present unfortunate imbroglio. If Messrs. Moran and Von Hoffman bad come 44 " before the Board of Directors, and asked them to unite in the application fora Receiver, and a decree appropriating the earnings of the road, they would doubtless have agreed to all that justice and equity required,and then the whole road would have been managed bY — ene party, and for the mutual interest of all parties. `Nom-NAnow FOR ALDERMAN EN THE THIRD WARD. „To-day, between the hours of three and seven o'clock, the Democratic citizens of the Third ward will nominate a candidate.for Al derman, to be voted for at the ensuing Janus rytlection. The notifinlition will be by bal lot,-and the electlonAvill be condocted at Duf fy's. There are now in the field some eight or nine candidates for the nomination—all' good men and true Democrats. These gentlemen have shown the truth of their Democracy, And their desire to secure a harmonious action of their party, by one and all agreeing to abide the results of the nomination. The contest will be an exciting one, but the winner will rest assured of the hearty suppori, of his less fOrtunate competitors.' It is probable that niarly the entire Democratic vote of the ward will be polled. NEW YORK CITY ELECTION The Charter Election in New York City has 'result& In the defeat - of Messrs. Havemeyer and Opdyke, and the triumph of Fernando Wood:- The vote was as follows: Wood, 30,- 125 . ; Havemeyer, 28,843 Opdyke, 21,773. Plurality fOr Wood over Havemoyer, 3,285-- nearly Aka same as the majority for Tiemnnn (8,831) over Wood in 1857. The aggregate vote cast was 78,741—1e5s by 4,492 than the total: polled , at the election of 1857. _ Have meyer ran 5,070 ahead of Opdyke while Wood's majority over Opdyke is 8,352. The united vote of Opdyko and Havemeyer is 48,- - 615; Wood polling at this election but 30,125 votes against 89,951 in 1857—a loss of 9,826. The returns for Counsel to the Corporation, Mr. Greene C. Bronson has received over 30,00otas, and is elected by a plurality of 7,661 over Tilden—being double the amount of Wood's plusality. THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION BY reference to our telegraphic column it will beseen thatthe'Demooratie National Com mittee have fixed upon Monday the 23d of April . es the day for holding the National Democratic Convention at Charleston, to nomi nate a candidate for the Presidency. This -unusually early date has been fixed upon to obviate fears upoa the part of Northern Dele gates of visiting the South during the hot season of the year. The campaign of 1660 will thus be a long one indeed, but it . will also bo the most important which has ever taken.place in the history of this nation. A SIGN OF THE TIMES In view of the possibility, if not probabil ity of a dissolution of the Union, growing out of the irrepressible conflict doctrines of the Republican party of the North, capital in New York City is already seeking Southern . inVestraerits. Within a few weeks past the bonds of Southern municipalities and the stock and .bonds of Southern Railroads have gonsiderably.appreciated in the money mar ket. A fact like this shows that the money dealers who are generally remarkable for the sharpness and foresight, do not regard a severance of the Union as at all improba ble, St. Loub, Alton and Chicago Rallroad--Ite Transfer to Sondholders.-.

' - "'-` ' ''' ... HELPER'S CRISIS. The leading men of the Republican party seem to be singularly averse to acknowledg- - ing theiropinions or their acts. When they are convicted before the bar of public opin ion of uttering treasonable sentiments in their-speeches, their conventions and their public documents, forthwith they cry out these are not Republican but Abolition sen timents and weought not to be held respon sible for them. DEC. 9 No one who has watched the proceedings of Congress since Monday, can fail to com prehend the fact that the "irrepressible con flict," which the Republican party have so madly advocated is indeed upon the,coun try. The debate upon Mr. Clarke's resolu tion, although it is progressing with far less outward manifestation of feeling than has often been exhibited in the halls of congress, has fully shown that the feeling on both sides of the slavery question is of the deep est and most intense character. There is not a single indication in the whole debate, as far as it has proceeded, that any, either of the Southern members or the Republi cans, entertain the least idea of giving up a single point in regard to the slavery ques tion. Of course, according to their custom, the Republican signers of the recommen dation of the Helper pamphlet are prepared to deny any knowledge whatever of its con tents, but this only proves their utter reck lessness in regard to the public welfare. Men who will sign papers recommending an in cendiary document, without inquiring into its character, are quite as dangerous as the declared advocates of incendiary conflicts. Every man of the sixty-two who have recom mended Helper's book, will practically sus- Min every doctrine of thatpublication by his vote and his voice during the winter. They are prepared to stand by Helper's doctrines now that they know precisely what they mean. The debate which is now progressing in Congress is by no means a useless or unne cessary ono. It is proper that those who have signed this document should promptly have an opportunity of uttering their dis claimer or approval of the doctrines therein contained. Mr. Sherman, the Republican candidate for the Speake?rship. must explain how his name came to be appended to a recommendation to the slaves of the South to murder, pillage and burn by wholesale in the slaveholding States. It is among the contingencies in case of his election, that he might perchance become, for a time, the virtual head of the Goveuttbent of the Uni ted States. Without a full and satisfactory disclaimer on his part, of all knowledge of this book which he has recommended, hi s election as Speaker would do more towards ripening the whole South for disunion than even Brown's invasion of the soil of Virginia. The Gazette, of this city, in its issue of Thursday, as the Republican organ. fully endorses the sentiments of Helper's Book. It says : Doubtless many of our readers have perused Helper's book,and know that it is mostly a sta• tistical work, fell of sound political inferences as to the effect of the peculiar institution upon the interests of a Suite, illustrated by the writer as seen in the State of North 6 tlarolina. The book is very dispassionate, and Its state ments and arguments remain, hitherto. unan swered, and are, as wo tincerely believe, un answerable. Tho only response which was ever made to it, in North Carolina, at least, was the sine commonly in use in the slave holdin:;'communities i 0. social ostracism and mob warning to leave the State, with which latter he was obliged to comply. Tins work was; Loreddered by many Repub licr ns sn valuable as a test-book on the sub ject, the matter wab so fairly and so ably treat ed in it, that they, and among them Mr. Sher man, joined in a letter recommending it. The Gazeue is in advance of the Congres sional Republicans in its endorsement of Mr. Helper. They " went it blind," and signed a recommendation of the book with out knowing its contents. as they say : it endorses, without reserve, its incendiarisin. Our readers may well ha surprised at the unqualified language of the Gazdtc, when we tell them that the leading object of Mr- Helper's book comprehends the following purposes "1. Thorough organization and independ ent political action on the part of the non-slave holding whites of the South. 2. Ineligibility of pro-slavery slave holders never another vote to any one who advocateA :the retention and perpetuation of human slavery. a. No co-operration with pro-alavery politi ciane ; no fellowship with them in roligion , no affiliation with them in society. 4. No patronage to pro-slavery merchant. ; no guestabip in slave-waiting hotels ; no fees to pro-slavery lawyers ; no employment to pro-slavery physicians; no audience to pro slavery parsons 6. No more hiring of slaves by non-slave holders. 6. Abrupt discontinuance of subscriptions to pro-slavery nowspapera. If this is not a direct declaration of the •' irrepressible conflict„” we cannot under tand language. The recommendation of the book, im bued' with doctrines like this, which has been signed by sixty-two of the loading Re publican members of Congress, is in the form of a circular commencing as follows, and recommends an extensive circulation of a copious compend of the work in ques tion : PEAR SIP.: If you here read and critically ca omitted the work, you will probably agree with us that no course of argument so successfully controverting the practice of slavery in the United States and enforcing a precise and ade quate view of its prostrating effects, material and morale hat equalled that of the volume en titled "The Impending Crisis of the South : How to Meet it." By Hinton Rowan Helper, of North Carolina. No other 'volume now before the public, as wo conceive, is, in all reepeetz, so well calculated to induce in the minds of its readers a decided and persistent repugnance to slavery, and a willingness to co-operate in the effort to restrain the shameless 'advances and hurtful influences of that pernicious institution.

" God hays mercy upon us l" This excla mation was not more sudden than startlingly uttered, and sent the chills creeping from the leaping heart in pricking sensations over the skin. It was the first time I had ever noticed such a tremor in the old squatter's tones, or a manner which indicated that he ever felt fear. It was something unusual, and with my own young pulse quickened, I watched the old man by the dim light of the fire. I had known Luke Blair—" Old Luke," as he was called—for ten years, and yet knew nothing of his history. There was &mys tery about him which none ever penetrated, and an eccentricity of manner Which gave his movements a peculiar interest to his rough but true hearted comrades. He spent his time in the woods, and never brought in anything but wolves' scalps. There was a fierce burning look in his eye as ho flung them upon the ground, and he would sit for hours after one of his excursions with his head bowed between his hands. As unsocial as was the squatter, he was re spected by all who had come in contact with him. He was bravo to madness, and yet as cool in danger as in his camp. Nor was there anything rough in his manners ; on the contrary, there was an easy bearing, which—almost elegance—bespoke a day of education or refinement. And when ho did speak, his language was well chosen. Blair had other qualifications which won the respect of the hardy spirits around him. He was six feet in height, broad shouldered, full-chested, and form erect, and his limbs were models of symmetry and strength ; hair and beard had grown unshorne since we had known him, and were thickly sprink led with gray. But the forehead, though darkly bronzed and deeply seamed, was almost massive, and the head of faultless mould. The eye was dark, lustrous, and, in excitement, of peculiar and fascinating power. Around his neck was some sacred token, which no eye had seen, and which he guarded with a jealous care. There was something about the old man —his commanding presence, his bravery, and his lonely habits and sad manner—which won my young heart, and I watched every opportunity of manifesting my regard. I had engaged him to guide me to tho Mis sissippi, by way of Prairie. For several days we threaded the dense, forests which intervened, and under great difficulties. The snow hail fallen to an un usual depth, the cold was intense, and ren dered more intolerable by the fierce wind from the prairie waste. Wo were warmly dressed, but there were times when the weary frame began to feel the dreamy influ ence of the sleep which steals so fatally over the senses. On the night in question we had turned aside to seek the shelter of a grove of small timber, and to find fuel for our fire. We had faced the blinding storm all day, and could hardly keep sufficiently awake :to kindle the fire and secure wood for the night. We had just accomplished this when the hunter made the exclamation at the head of our story. I wa s a wake a t once and the blood tinged thmugh my chilled veins, for I knew that Luke Blair would not speak without cause. "Hark ?" Tho word was hut a whisper, but had a terrible distinctness. His hand bad invol untarily sought his rifle, and his head turn ed.towards the woods. 1 heard nothing but the wild roar of the storm as it swept by. "There again ! The devils are on out track !" and he ciutched his knife handle with a steady grasp, and broathed hardly between his thin nostrils, I heard the noise this time, which had at tracted his attention before, swelling, as the storm lulled an instant, into a wild, protract ed howl, as from a thousand famished throats clear, dismal and wailing, with that fearful tone which startles the boldest, even at their firesides. Blair turned, and as our eves met he slowly whispered "A PACK 0; JIUNGFIY WOLVE , . have mercy upon us !" A sickening sensation went liken Nash tho heart. and then canto Luning thought? home. and again the child..., l ttiought of the Shelterless prairie and blinding snow. •' Again the black devils are on our tracks:" As Blair spoke he laid his hand upon my arm. and with an expression of sadness which I never shall forget, looked me steadily in the eye. Thorn was a tremor of the lip which I had never seen before. It was not fear—l knew that—but some ter rible remembrance or presentment which came over him with irresistible power. "The hour has come! I knew it would— have felt it for days. I do not fear death, but it is horrible tn be hunted down in such a spot as this, anti be torn by infernal devils." His breath came thick and hissing through his clenched teeth, and his chest heaved with intense emotion. Here," said he, lifting the soiled string over his head, and taking a locket attached to it in his hand, " is the shadow of one you never knew, but the original was once the light of my young life, and came with me. to this territory when the world was bright with hope. I left her in the cabin one day, and went to my work as usual. She crossed the valley and came where I was working.— Wishing to fell the tree I was at work upon, I urged her to cross the log over the creek before dark, and I would immediately fol low her. She had not been gone but a little time, when there burst up between me and our cabin, that long, freezing sound. tits howl of a wolf. It was answered as if from a thousand throats up and down the valley, until one wild, startling, unearthly howl swelled on the still evening air. God, how that howl went to the soul l I reeled in utter weakness a moment, but soon rallied, and with the speed and energy of despair, rushed down the path. I bad reached the stream, and was upon the old trunk thrown across, when another and different sound reached my ears. It seemed that my brain would burn into ashes under the fiery heat, and my heart burst from my bosom. That was the cry of iny wife, a clear, wailing shriek of mental agony!' Blair dropped his head and thrust his fin gers into his ears, as if that terrible sound was again ringing through the forest. A moment, and he hurriedly resumed : I remember no more until the morning broke, and the sun smiled through the trees upon the terrible scene. It was horrible I The ground was torn and stained with dark spots where pools of blood had sunk away. Seven long black bodies lay around gashed by the axe, some of them glaring fiercely as they fell,their tongues thrust out,and the white fangs gleaming fearfully in their open jaws. The erie itself lay within reach, red with blood its entire length. My own arms were also stained, an still (law,. But, God of mercy ! a worse sight than all this met my gaze of returning conscionsness. = Tightly in my arms I was holding the. head of my wife, her form hare and limbs torn into shre4s, * * * * The old man sobbed convulsively, and wrung his hands until it stmmed that the blood would start from his fingers. - coming!" Again, and nearer than before, the dismal howl rose above the storm. The camp fire burned dimly in the blinding storm of snow and a sense of lonelinesa r,md terror came over the spirit darker than the sky dyer head. "Here, take this," said Blair, as he handed me the locket, "and if you survive, carry it to New York, and I will thank you. Boy, lam not afraid to die. Death will be rest, and I shall see Maria; We must take to the tree. It is freeze or death by the wolves. Quick boy I Good hye." • I felt .the hot, tears drop on my hand as theifid man pressed his 'quivering lips upon it, and then pushed on towards the trees. We had need to ;he quick, for. wejsad hardlY reached the branches, when ai Score of long, gloomy shadows shot out of the surrounding darkness, and sent up; a yell, which went to the 'heart colder than: the breath of the wintry bleat. They paid but little attention to the dim fire ; and scent-. ingtheir prey, they gathered in a• shadowy circle ,beneath us. Lash yourself fast, boy, and commend youf sot4,Jo God; for yatt will freeze,,and better to cotton:the oak than to be torn by the ,•• .clea aser,"-ke -continued, as, I Eng eke(lo4: the .B9unfil P't PW guns 'Egght' reach the inmates of the cabin, "they would not hear 'em in the storm, and besides, I swear by the living .God that I will send some of them to h—ll before I die." one commenced his deadly work, and as one of the wolves fell the others fought and snarled and gnashed their teeth over the horrid feast. Their teeth sounded like the smiting' of steel upon steel. Still they howled more fiercely as the slaughter went on. "My gun is wet, and will not go," I heard Blair mutter, with a curse. Damn 'em I'll try them with the axe." My wildly uttered warning was too late, tor, as it swelled above the sounds below, with unnatural strength, Blair leaped down with a shout of rage and defiance, and with his axe and knife, fought the pack face to face. I grew sick at heart as I watched with burning eye-balls the struggle through the darkness I could see the black forms swarming around the trunk whero Blair had backed up. After the first howl of joy, as it seemed to me, when Blair jumped down, the wolves were less noisy, and apparently more wary, for they seemed to realize that they.had an enemy to deal with. I madly called to him and muttered curses, as I tried to untie the thongs with which I had lashed myself to the trunk. "Ha, na ! glorious sport here, boy; another devil the less !" and his maniac laugh and shout came up scarcely less startling than those of the wolves around him. I knew that he was mad. I could hear the vice-like jaws close con stantly around Blair, and now and then his axe sink with a heavy crunching sound into some skull, and then all grew more dim; a delicious feeling of happiness crept over me; the sounds of the strife below died out, and sweet dreams stole over me like the sum mer's breath. The reports of our rifles had reached the cabin, which, as I afterwards learned, was not twenty rods from where we camped. The inmates, numbering some fourteen by the addition of emigrants who had stopped in the storm, came out with dogs. Blair had lodged his axe so deeply in the head of a wolf that the corners remain ed fast, and the others tore him down. They were literally shot down with their fangs holding to the torn flesh, and his warm blood jetting over their shaggy skins. The mang led body was snatched from them, and I cut down from the tree and carried to the cabin. I was all winter recovering from my inju ries. The awakening from that dream of death was a terrible awakening, and I suf fered more than pen can describe. Blair was buried on the edge of the prairie and when I left in the spring the early flow ers were already springing upon his grave. The old man rests sweetly under the wide shadow of the old oak. I carried the locket to its destination. The sister clutched it eagerly and thanked me, though heart almost broke under the stroke. I remained in New York through the sum mer, and in the autumn the sister returned with me to Prairie, and we built our cabin within sight of the brother,e grave.— The oak is now dead and splintered, and the spot where he died is densely covered with an undergrowth, whose vines shut out the light of day, and guard it even from the footfall of man or beast. Last week our dog brought out a skull, with the wide gash of an axe hit through the top. Quietly, and without the knowledge of my wife, I went and tossed the memento into the thickest growth of the place.—Thily Wisconsin. Incendiary Publications in am Mailr We invite attention to the following letter of the Post Master General, ns containing in formation highly important to Post Masters, and the public generally st the present time: 'POST QFFICE DEPARTMENT, December .5, 1869. j SIR: I am in receipt of your letter of the 2d instant, in which, after referring to the opinion of the Attorney General of Virginia sustaining the constitutionality of the statute of that State denouncing, under heavy penal ties, the circulation of books, newspapers, pam phlets, &c., tending to incite the slave popu lation to insurrection, you ask to be instructed as to your duty, in relference to such docu ments, should they be received through the mails for distribution at the Post Office of which you have charge. The 61.44 e alluded to, is in the following words -Sec. 23. If a free person write or print, or cause to be written or printed, any book or other thing, with intent to advise or incite ne groes in this Suite to rebel or ma.ko insurrec tion, or inculcating resistance to the right of property of masters in their slaves, or if be shall, with intent to aid the purposes of any such book or writing, knowingly circulate the same, he shall be confined in the penitentiary not less than une nor more than five years." Sec. :f4. If a Post Master or Deputy Post Master, know that any such book or other writing has been received at his office, in the mail, he shall give notice thereof to some jus tice, who eludl inquire into the circumstances, and have such bodk or writiftz burned in his presence. And if it appear to hip; that the persons to whom it was directed subscribed therefor, knowing its character, or agreed to receive it for circulation to aid the purposes of Abolitionists, the justice shall commit such person tojail. If any Post Master or Peputy post Master violate this seotion, he shall be tined not ex ceeding $200." Tho point raised by your inquiry is, whether this statute is in convict with the act of Con gress regulating the administration of this Department, which declares that "if any Post Master shall unlawfully detain in his office any letter, package, pamphlet or newspaper. with the intent to prevent the arrival and delivery of the same tb the person orpesrons to whom such letter, package, pamphlet or newspaper may be addressed or directed, in the usual course of the transportation of the mail along the route, he shall, on conviction thereof, be tined. in a sun) not exceeding live hundred dollars, and imprisoned for a term not exceeding six months, and shall moreover be forever there after incapable of holding the oleo of et Master in the United States." The question thus presented was fully do aided by Attorney General Cushing in the case of the Yazoo City post office. (Opinions of Attorney Generals, vol. 8. 489.) He there held that astatuto of Mississippi, in all respects analocons to that of Virginia as cited, was not inconlistatit with 01,0 act of Congress quoted, prescribing the duties of postmasters in regard to the delivery of mall matter, and that the latter, as good citizens, were bound to yield obedience to such State laws. You are rofer- Pri to the luminous discussion of the case for the arguments urged by that distinguished ci vilian in support of the conclusion et which he arrived. The judgment thus pronounced has boon cheerfully acquiesced in by this De partment, and is now recognized as one of the guides for its administration. The authority of Virginia to enact such a law rests upon that right of self preservation which belongs to every government and people, and which has never been surrendered, nor indeed can it be. Ono of the most solemn constitutional obliga tions imposed on the Federal Government is that of proteptihg the States against "Insurrec tion" and "domestic iioledee"--of course, none of its instrumentalities can be lawfully employed in inciting, even in the remotest de gree, to this very crime, which involves in its train all others, and with the suppression of WhiCh . It is specially charged. You must, un der the responsihilitioi rooting aPPn you as an officer, and as 'a citizen, determine whether the books, pamphlets, newspapers, dm., receiv ed by you for disitrbution, are, of the incen diary character described in the statute; and, if you believe they are, then you aro not only not obliged to 0.431iy0r them tO those to whom they are addressed, but you are empowered and required, by your duty to the State of which you are a citizen, to dispose of thorn in strict conformity to the provisione Pr tlle ltFif referred The people of Virginia may not only forbid the introduction and dissemination of such docu ments within their borders, but, if ',brought there in the mails; they, may, by appropriate legal proceedings, havethem destroyed. They have the same right to eXtinguish' 'fire-brands, thus impiously thrown into the midst of their homes and share, that a man has to pluck the burnilag Attie from a betah shell which is about to explode at his feet.

Steamer Lake City Sunk—Cargo, Value, Insurance, • The steamer Lake:City left this port, bound for Arkansas river -oh Tuesday evening, about half-past three o'clock, with nearly 100 tons of flour, beef, whisky, and tobacco on board, con signed at Memphis and various points on the Arkansas river. when she had reached a point opposite Carondelet, she commenced fin ing with water, and was, immediately headed for the Missouri shore. She sank in two or three minutes, close to the shore—up to her boiler dock on the starboard side. There is very little water on her larboard side, as sho is directly on shore, and ofcourso very much ca reened. The boat is lying perfectly straight, and it is supposed can be raised without diffi culty. For this purpose a submarine boat was sent down to her assistance yesterday morning. The accident occurred at about five o'clock P. If., and some of the officers and crew arrived in this city on Tuesday evening, by railroad. About 150 barrels of floor were taken off the boat undamaged; all the rest of the largo cargo will suffer more or less. The hold was full, and the engine room was full of froight. A large portion of the cargo was consigned to F. Smith & Co., of Memphis. The Lake City was a good, stern wheel boat, worth $16;000, and was insured for about $ll,OOO in Pittsburgh. The freight was chiefly insured in St. Louis offices. She was owned by Capt. Blake, Mr. Sloan, and parties at Pittsburgh. The James H. Lucas, on her way up from Memphis last evening, landed alongside the Lake City, and rendered her all the assistance in her power. It is very probable that the Lake City will be raised. Visits to the President Chief Justice Taney and the Associate Jus tices who had arrived in season for the opening of the Court, viz : Judges Nelson, Grier, Clif ford, and Campbell—paid their respects to President Buchanan, and the interview was a most agr 7 eeable one, indeed, sufficiently indi cating the hearty mutual respect and good feel ing existing between the Executive and the Judiciary of the nation. Vice President Breck inridge and many other persons of note, took occasion to call upon the President, and were received with the heartiest welcome by Mr. Buchanan, who despite the laborious care he bestows upon every detail of his official duty, yet finds time to receive his visitors with the ease and cordiality of the thorough man of leisure. Stephen Girard's Estate. The heirs of Stephen Girard have entered upon another litigation with the . city of Phila delphia, which is likely to prove long and cost ly. They have now filed a bill in equity, tak ing ground that the consolidated city has no right to hold in trust the various bequests made by Girard. Bcerhave , s Holland Bitters.
