To the Editors of the Post Gentlemen;—This morning's Aurora contains a c•immunication from J B Guthrie, with a request for you to republish it, in which en attack is made on l McKenna, Esq., under the mistaken suppo.i affirm that he was the author of an article signed 'A Democrat' in the Aurora of Thursday. In justice to Mr MeK, I will state that I am the I writer of, an alone responsible for tint article, , and that he was not privy to nor had anything to ' do with it—facts cf which the editors of the Au rora were informed yesterday. I trust you will perceive, from this statement, that the attack up on .I.cK. is entirely improvoied, and founded up. on in erroneous imputation,and that you will con sider this as supercAing any revon or nee,:ssity tur i givingit further cut rency. 1 . 1 M. KANE, Ja. Pittsburgh, July 14th, 1843. Yesterday we received the above note from Mr M. Kane, jr. His avowal of the authorship of the article attributed to Mr 1 • ;McKenna by Mr Guthrie tenders it unne. I cessary for us to copy from the Aurora the reply of the latter gentleman. Mr Kane's , declaration that be is the author of the ar ticle that has given offence to Mr Guthrie, will, we presume, sati-fy him that his at ' tack on Mr McKenna was made under false t impressions,And we do not suppose that he would, with this information before him, desire us to republish the letter. We regret that a correspondence be. ' tween Democrats, of such an angry tone, should find its way into the public prints, l and we hope the gentlemen will see how extremely injudicious it is, and submit their 1 little differences to no further public 1 dis cussion. The dispute .originated in an ill ladvised and improper squib that should nev• kr have been published, and it must be (evident to every man of common sense, that the writer is a person who has no re , gard for the harmony of the democratic . . . createhad feeling and discord in our ranks. It is not the part of a good Democrat to wantonly misrepresent or pervert the con— duct of his political brethren, and we hope I I t he gentlemen who have been excited into n a controversy by the anonymous corres y pendant of the Aurora, will see the nse s that this fomenter of discord wishes to turn t I them to, and drop the discussion at once. e 1 __ The Mormons.—The last St. Louis New Era says the occurrences which led to the expulsion of the Morrrions from Missouri, and which were signalized by a savage and brutal vindictiveness on the part of a portion of her citizens, are said to From Mexico. have formed the ground work of the late We copy the following from the Pica charges against the prophet. if so, there yune:—Our advices, as usual, represen can be little doubt that Jo Smith will escape the country as in the most laavontable and from this new attack upon him, and there- precarious posi.ion.

The Gazette will find the Au• rora an apt scholar in the art of abusing Democrats, as the last few numbers of that iaper will show. They have regularly tsed up one or two a day. Democrats vill not wonder at this when they learn hat the printer and chief proprietor of the Lurora is a Whig. A wag standing by at the execution of a aging, remarked that "it must put a fel w out of breath most awfully to stand on .othing and pull a hemp rope by the neck," Aecident.—The Louisville Dime of Sat, uday says: As that handsome steamer 3rrey Eagle. was yesterday running up Prom Portland to Sbippingpor t, she struck uron a bar, about midway between the two places and became so firmly embeded as to destroy all hopes of releasing her un til a. rise of water shall take place. She was light, and was proceeding to Shipping port to lay up for the season.

The Gltzette's anxiety to billingsgate, however, did not pre- it-from abusing us for putting into print a report that was quite current a mong the politicians, and it makes the sil ly charge that we did so to sustain our own "hopeless cause." Now, how our notice of the contemplated teeuniou was to aid our "cause," is more than we can tell. Or how the announcement of the overtures for reconciliation could retard or promote that event, passeth our compre hension. The pompous declaration of the Gazette, however, that the "principles of thu Antimasonic party are just and true, and will not be given up," is conclusive to us, that the Whigs would not give them all they asked on the ticket, and so they pre.. tend to act on lofty motives. A party that has been so thoroughly devoted to the gr.* quisition of "spoils," need not hope to press the public with the ilea that they are actuated by any exalted principle. OC?" The travelling correspondent of the Boston Pilot, makes the relief notes of our State much worse than they really are. He says that our currenc yis all made up of relief notes on the different Banks; some of them 6i, 1.2 i, 25, &c. This is a mistake, and the writer in question must be a very careless observer to have fell in to it. None of the Banks have issued re lief notes of a smaller denomination than one dollar, and any shinplasters for a small. er sum that may bo in circulation, are those issued by Bridge Companies, Stage Com panies, &c., and have but a very limited circulation. A great improvement has ta. ken place in the value of the relief notes o Pennsylvania, and as they are being grad ually cancelled, their value is steadily in creasing. Mrs. Sigourney and Mrs. Southey.— The Edinburgh Scotsman of May 28th. says:—"An article appeared some weeks ago in several of the metropolitan and oth er newspapers, relative to these ladies, re. flectiog considerable blame upon Mrs. Si gourney. We think it fair to state that we ire had auivilta.43 Juntatu 2 Cil,t WIDOW. tittle weep rs. • r and a party resident in Edinburgh, in which Mrs. Southey distinctly dislairnl any oarticipa. tion in the authorship of the article in ques:ion, or knowledge of the enure e whence it originated.

The inaugural address of Santa Anna to the Legislative Junta is moderate in tone, affects great horror at the concentration of the supreme power in the hands of a sin, gle citizen, and promises very patrioti- cally to look after the safety of the State, &c. &c. Forgery by a Clergyman.—Rev Wil— liam Hammond, Pastor of the Episcopal Church at Jefferson city, Missouri, some time since wrote a petition to the Post Of fice Department, and forged signatures to the document, praying the removal of Mr. White, the Postmaster at Jefferson. The petition was forwarded to Mr White by the Department.

We stop the press I to announce a few brief and imperfect particulars I of a most destructive fire which occurred at Lan sinburgh ,yesterduy afternoon. Tho fire was first discovered about half past 4 o'clock, breaking out near the centre of the village from a barn and 'shed on the north side of Richard street, in rear of the Renssealrer House,occupied by Mr J Lamb,which were soon zonsumed, and communicated immedi ately to the extensive candle factory of Mr Wright, the dwelling houses of Mrs E Parmelce, l Mr J F Parmelee, the Rensselaer House, and the stares and dwelling houses, with the adjacent cut. buildings on Congress, State, and Richard streets, and destroyed, in all about thirty buildings.. It was impossible yesterday afternozn and evening, amidst the excitement and confusion of the dime ter, to ascertain the full particulars of the confleg. retina. Such details as we are enabled to publish this morning, we obtained through the kindness of our fiiends, Mr W F Gray, Mr Barber, the editor of the Lansiuburgh Gazette, and Mr J C Shaw of his city. As ISVZPITION.—The Pennsylvania Inquirer says a new apparatus is about to be introduced in the British Navy, the obj :et of which is to pre. vent the collision of steamers at night. The command** of the steamer, while on the bridge that connects the two paddle boxes, is enabled by it, without uttering' a word, id direct the man at the hilin in the darkest night how to steer, with the Gams facility as be now does in open daylight by the wave of his hand, and th 5 sa as signal which directs the helmsman how to put the helm, also points out the position of the helm to any ether vessel that may be near, so that vessels may be enabled to steer clear of each other without the chance of collision, as eaeli ship will know how the other is steering, and whether her helm is hard a•port or starboard. About 30,000 Luthoran subjects of Prussia ,from the Borders of the Baltic, are shortly to come over and settle in the United States. It is a religious movement, these people preferring the orthodox doctrines of the modern philosophy to Berlin.— There are men of very largo fortunes among them old Csrman noblemen whose pedigree dates back to the thirteenth century.

Eleven of the,,, who were in one room, headed by k notorious villain named Forsyti,, succeeded by the aid of a piece of cast iron belonging to th'i stove, in mi. king a hole in the wall; but the vigilance of the jailor detected them before they gained the out side. Enviable Siluation.—The Picayune thus de.. scribes the appearance of a man whom the editor saw trudging the streets: ''He had a bundle un• dei and a lady upon each atm, a parasol in each Card, a pair of gloves in his mouth, and a little dog, belonging probably to one of the ladies, was trotting along after, every . now and the , jumping, and trying to catch the skirts of his coat." New Theory.—A writer in the Albany Daily Advertiser has undertaken ti disprove tho preva lent idea that lightninz descends from the clouds to the earth, and to in tintain that, on the contra ry, it ascends from' the earth into the air, the earth being the great reservoir in which the elee tric fluid is generated, or at least contained, The Westminster Carroltonian mentions a field of wheat, in Ihe vicinity °filial town, which is 'fly proof,' at lea.t it has proved itself 6.1 this season.

A 'reeling has been held in New York, in behalf of the Fall River sufferers, and a Committee appointed to collect subscrip• lions. Meetings are contemplated in tith er cities.

The B. S. Democrat gives the following as the modus operandi of the preaching to crowded houses. feat:— 41 A. large white rabbit having been thrown in the animal's cage, immediately sought the nearest corner, the reptile fixing its twinkling little eyes upon it, at the same , time running out a moat villainous looking forked tongue. After a few minutes pass ed in a sort of magnetic gaze between the two animals, the serpent raised its small fiat head, and drawing it slightly backward darted with the rapidity of light at its poor victim; but the little red•eyed stranger was on its guard, and avoided its antagos, nist by dodging to the opposite corner.— The serpent so fairly foiled, - evinced no de gree of haste to renew the attack, but lei• surely changed its position, and 'after an. other pause of a few minutes, again darted wite open mouth upon its prey, and seizing the rabbit by the throat, took a couple of coils of its scaly body about the paor crea ture, crushing it to death immediately.— We have read of the 'sliming over' of the prey by the Anaconda before it is swal lowed, but saw nothing of it on this occa-. ',ion. No sooner did the animal appear to be conscious of the death of its victim, than it began leisurely to swallow the body whole, which feat it ac( 0 rplished in about 15 minutes, without much apparent disten. Lion of its throat or body. The creature appeared in no degree sluggish after its meal, but moved nimbly about its case, apparently well satisfied with its dinner. The keeper told us that these _serpents u sually feed but a few times in a year, tho' the one now exhibiting here, being a young one, and growing fast, rats often. We forthwith propounded to ourself the query, if this young one could swallow a large sized rabbit, what could an old one Doubtless the answer might be got by the rule of three—at any rate, the digestive or• gaus of either must be 'a caution' to dys. peptic people. Sore Generosity. The following instance of generosity on the part of a young gentleman, is recorded in tho Now Haven Courier: Rev. John Mitchell, formerly the es teemed pastor of the Society in Fair Ha ven, has just sailed for Europe. He was compelled to relinquish his parish in North. amnton n ronaenuence of ill health; which even now is piecarious. 'You should visit Europe, before 'yon can expect an entire restoration,' said a young, but opulent parishioner, in a polite note addressed to his dejected pastor. "Doubtless it would be the means of giving me essential relief; perhaps entire . restoration,' said he in reply 'But like tht rest of my profession, I am not opulent, and my protracted illness has deprived me of much of my little means, I must re main at home, and if possible regain my health, unless God in his goodness has willed it otherwise.' The following day brought something like the following response: "My dear sir: 1 have made arrange ments to visit Europe, intending to be ab sent one year. I want some friend—some congenial companion. In the --Bank you will find $2OOO placed to your credit. Your health will not permit yin now to engage in your arduous profession, and you have an abundance of leisure. You must not refuse to go with me." The esteemed pastor did not refuse, and both have sailed for Europe. Ernigrants.—A Havre paper of the 15th of June states, that "for some time the emigration. from the north of Europe for the United States of America, from our port greatly increases. The last week, in the short space of three days, two thou sand emigrants quitted Havre, taking with their families a capital of working tools. One peculiarity, until now unexampled, distinguishes this new flood of pioneers, they are no longer only the peasants of Al •ace, Switzerland and the poor States, sit uated at the north of France, who expatri ate themselves to run after prosperity, our quays are co eered with a different emigra ting population, whose picturesque cos tumes, and strange physiognomy excite the curiosity of passengers and cause them to stop in their course. These are the in habitantslof the depths of Norway, who have nme by the economical method of navigation, and after having passed over from north to south, eleven degrees of !at titude, have come to Havre to embark; and satl for more favored climates. Several companies, numbering more than six hum. d-ed m-n, women and children, have al ready passed by our city, and all the Nor wegian vessels, this season, bring us some of these emigrants." The amount of subscriptions made in France, and paid into the Central treasury at Paris up to the 15th of June, in aid of the sufferers by the earthquake at G audit loupe, was 2,826,201 francs.

Seven respectable gentlemen, traders from Banta Fe, came to our city a few weeks ago with a rpm-. ter of a million of dollars in spLcie, and went en - to the Eastern cities to make their purchases, Issigsw e their orders with several of our manufacturers.— They have returned to Pittsburgh within a few days, and put up at the Exchange Hotel; and are raw loading their goods in the 'New York' Steamer, which is to leave this morning for Indeptimitum, 400 miles above Saint Louis, where-the stepand load their goods in wagons, drawn by UAW to SOW* to Fe, in Mexico. They have purchased in Pittsburgh about $20,- 000 worth of goods—amongst which are 50 good new wagons wade by Mr Townsend; full sets of gears for: about 700 mules, made by Mr 11.11..

These respectable and enterprising, merchants come to our Cjiy and go to the east to make their purchases about once a seat, and in order to give the American people souse idea of the distance they travel and transport their goods, we give the following calculation: From Santa Fe, in Mexico, to Independence, in Missonri,aboot 1000 miles. Of this, more than 900 is a Desert, withou t a house, with very little timber, little water, and roamed over by wi'd Indians.'
