3Dailp THOS. PHILLIPS & WM. H. SMITH, EDITOR. PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, NOVENI tifER 12 tlt is really amusing to hear the excuses the Whigs make for their defeat. One snys it was the 'inically Abolitionists who defeated them. Another blailessit-on the emaly,antation wittethe Natives. An ether iviiielfartitlatles that their disasters came thr ough the conjohted influences of both those parties together. While the more rational very seriously attribute their overthrow to the fact that the Democrats polled the roost *rotes. The N Y Courier has a savage article against the N Y Tribune, which is accused of having injured the whip cause, by abusing the Natives; the Tribune, too, is severely censured, by the Courier, for giving up New York, When the returns showed that Volk would probably carry the State. It really does seem ta if the whips liked to be cheated and deceived by their papers e in regard to Election News. No ate_ sy is too silly or too -Tress to obtain their credence, provided it is favorable to their cause. It is to be limped that the Tribune will alter its behavior, and vein% on any account, admit the truth of any Elec tion Seturnsrif they are against the whigs, Wno is JAMES K. POLK?—Tbio question is in seltsry body's mouth, and the answers aro vatious, and sometimes amusing:—"He's Kati "obscure" man and lives down South somewhere," says one. "lie's our nominee," says another. "He's the President," says is - third. "He hvesin Tennessee," says another, "but he's going to move, and his house is To Let." By the by, the whigs first asked the question, and theizln solent anon will probably trouble them no little be fore they are done with it. Who is James K Polk? WHIT WILL THEY TO WITH IT 7—The Whigs of Wheeling constructed a magnificent carriage to be used in conveying Henry Clay from Ashland to W ash aker his election to the Presidency. This was toilhow their gratitudefur his efforts in favor of Wheel ing, awl his steady opposition to every proposition in favor of the interests of Pittsburgh. The poor coons will wait along time if tin" du no: hitch up the wskicis before it is required to carry Henry Clay to tha White Roue. UrTise N Yiarpublicot Clay paper printed in Na,, York, on imported type, is dead. The N Y ytress saystbnino paper can have a long life in New York, without "great capital and great ability." So, silt must man& that the Express has both, for its <marmots tits rait Theraday lost, the Express from New York to Philadelphia, ran die distance in three hours and -fifty-five minutes. That is certainly very rapid travel ing, bat inhere is the utility of going so fast? G"Philadelphia is realizing the hleiaings of I Churchburning. A verdict has been rendered against - the County for propererrdestroyed the Kensington 'Riot in May last. It is most firting that clay should get a large vote in Philadelphia, the most deeply dis graced city in the Union. He,*rasted that his was the "law and order trarby,". and in proof of this he -canshow a tremendous majority in a city where nom aoa murdered end churches burned. Attempt to .Assasainote a lifonarch.—A letter from Berlin gives theTollowing interesting particulars of the vecent attempt to assassinate the King of Russia, and =the subsequentrimeedings: The sentence passed upon Techech hoe caused the vcrrernraernt _great embarrassment. The execution of this man, even by decapitation, without the horrors -of breaking upon the wheel, being considered impolitic, the ministers have caused daily applications tur be -made to the convict to induce him to petition for a -commutation of his punishment, or at least to lodge en appear before the royal court. Tsehech, however, ob. -stinately refuse to do either, saying "You may do what :yen will with my body, but I defy you to bend the res wkirtio' nof my soul." The question of an appeal ex -officio bas been discussed in council, and there am *echincal obstacles which render it impossible. The .4017 of the putject of transporting this man to nn Eng gist, penal colony, has been formally contradicted by the government. The king himself is determined that , Tschech Ala lot be executed, saying that he will nev er suffer Wood baba shed for an offence which was ex elusively personal against himself; arid at a council held on the minister of justice announcing that Tscheck still persisted in refusing to appeal, his majesty decla- Ted that rather than put him to death, he would grant him a free pardon. This being remonstrated against by the mittisters •as alangerons measure, tending to encourage other enemies of the king to follow the example of Tschech rids majesty replied, "Well then, know that, if we can stot find other means of disposing of this man, I shall \find myself reduced to do what Bernadotte did ten _years ago." The following is the circumstance to whichthe king of Prussia alluded:—The Aftenblad, or -evening journal, of Stockholm, published an article wttiten and signed by M. Lindeman, ono of its editors, formerly a captain of infantry, but now di recTOTr of the Second Theatre, and even went so far as to accuse dem of peculation. As this theatre was directly un iler the superintendence of the king himself, the arti 4cle was considered as a personal libel upon his majes v. Lindeman was tried before the royal court of -Sweden, found guilty, and sentenced to death. He, the Tachech, pertinaciously refused to make any ap- Oblation for pardon or commutation. His prison doors were left open, with an intimation that if ho •would make his escape, he would not be pursued.- -But he replied that he wculd never dishonor his name '-isy a base end cowardly Sight: A pardonable mance rasa was at last tried. His approaching execution was formally announced *shim for . the afternoon of the same day, and a priest •has introduced to prepare him for death. Still he re installed inflexible, and with all - devotedness received she ooneoLitions of mligion offemd to him, and calmly entailed his fate.' This last means of bending tho spir alai this imperturbable man having failed, the king, iridt the unanimous consent of his ministers, grar.tcd argeneral amnesty to all politicalprisoners, in which 'category Lindeman stood. In virtne of this act, Lin sideman was solar liberty. At that time there were on ly two other political convicts, and they were both offi -cers of .i'he army, who were condemned, in default 61 appearance to tape their trial twenty years before, and :had, during all that time, lived as refugees in Prussia met-Austria.

JOE SMITH, THE MORMON PROPHET. This was a very remarkable man, and his murder has brought no slight stain upon the State in which it was perpetrated. The Governor's pledge of boaor for his safety did not secure him from assassination, though there was a corn - party of armed men set over him to make good the pledge, and guild him ageitst all violence. We lament the fanaticism of his follow ers, hut the fanaticism, which led to his violent death WAS, if net' greater in itself, certainly of a more dan gerous character. It . was the fanaticism of haired and cruelty—a fanaticism that co u ld not wait on the action of the law in the case of a prisoner, who had surrendered himself to the highest authority in the State, and thetetabority pledged to being him to trial. As to the chanicter of the rropbet, tin-re is great diversity ofopittion; yet it is in vain to deny that he was an extraordinary person NO man can by his owe ef forts get sway over a great number of minds and keep it for many succepive years, unless he possesses ex- I traordinnry qualiKes. What we' know of Smith has been almost wholly through his enemies, who, we may be very sure, have not dune hint justice The following account of his death, pnblisied at Nauvoo, by one of his followers, who was present at the bloody tragedy, may interest some-of our readers. The narrative commends itself by its simplicity and straight-forwardness, and the absence of all violent and reproachful language towards the assailants. In truth we have set down the writer as a rare partizan of the prophot--New York Mirror. Tiro Ail.—Possibly the following events oceupied near three minutes, but I think about two, and Ilinve penned them for the gratigcation of my friends. Csnetstoe, June 27, 1841. A shower of musket balls were thrown up the stair way against the door of the prison in the second story, followed by many rapid footsteps. While Generals Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Mr. Taylor, and myself, who were in the frontchamber, 'slued the door ut our room against the enuy at the head of the stairs, and placed ourselves against there being no lock on the door, and no ketch that is unseajahie, The door is a common panel, and as soon as we heard the feet at Cie stairs head, a bull was sent through the door, which passed between us, and showed that our ene mies were desperadoes, and we must change our posi tion. Gen Joseph Smith, Mr . Taylor, and myself, sprung back to the fleet part of the room, and Gen Hyram Smith retreated two-thirds across the chamber directly in front and facing the door. A ball was sent through the door which hit Hyrum on the side of his nose, when he fell backwards extended at length with out moving his feet.—From the holes in his vest, (the day being warm and no one having hie coat on but myself,) pantaloons, drawers and shirt, it appears evident that a bull must have been thrown from with out, through the window, which entered his back on the right side, and -passing through, lodged against his watch, which was in his right vest pocket, completely pulverising. the chrystal and face, tearing off the hands, and smashing the whole hotly• of the watch, at the sante instant the bail from the -doer entered his nose. A 4 he rtruck the floor heexclaimedemphatically, "I am a dead man." Joseph looked towards him and res pontleti, "Of dear brother Hyram!" and opening the door two or throe inches with his left hand, discharged one barrel of a six-shooter (pistol) at random into the entry, from whence a ball grated Hyrum's breast, arid entered his throat, passing into his heed, while ',other muskets were aimed at him, and some balls hit him. Joseph , contieued snapping his revolver mond theoris ing of the door into the space as before, three barrels of which mimed fire, while.

Mr Taylor rushed into the window, which is. some fifteen or twenty feet from the ground. When his body was on a balance, a bell (ruin the door within .entered his leg, and a hall from without struck his watch, a patent lever, in his vest pocket near thp left breast, and *Mailed it in "pi," leaving the hands stand ing at 5 o'clock, 16 minutes, and 26 seconds—the fore or which ball threw him beck on the floor, anti ho roll-, ed "Jul . * bed whiattetood by his side,. where ,hei lay umtieniernssthe mob from the door continuing tot fire upon him. netting away.* piece of flesh from his: l left hip as large as a alea's band, set were hindered.' only by my knocking down their murales with a stick:, while they contismoda s s a e ss i Ft h e i r guns into the room, probably left handed, and aimed {hair discharges sal far around aaaltuost, to reaches in She. corner oftbe,, Mom to where - we'Minima Mid dorged,Und then I: commenced the attack with . niy stick again.

When near the enity; Mr Taylor called out, "Take me." I pressed my way, till I found the doors unharred; returning instantly, I caught Mr Thykir undermy arm, and rushed up stairs into the dungeon, 6r inner prison; laid him tin the floor, covering him with a bed in such a rmirmer es.notllice ly to be perceived, expecting an immediate return of the mob. I said to Mr Taylot, this is a hard case to lay you on the floor, but if sour wounds - tire not fatal, I want you to live and tell the story.

Doctor W.—. the Bishop of Cashel, hiving oc casion to visit Dublin, accompanied by his wife and daughter, determined to perform the journeihy easy stages, in his own carriage, and with hisown sleek and well fed horses,lnsteadoftrusting his bones to the ten der mercies of an Irish post chaise, and the unbroken garrons used fordrawing these crazy vehicles. One part of the route was through a wild and moun tainous district; and the bishop being a vet), humane man, and considerate of his cattle, made a point of quit ting his carriage at the foot of every hill, and walking to the top. On one of these occasions he had loitered to look ut t h e extensive prospect, indulging 49 a reve rie upon its sterile appearance, and die ehaege that agriculture might produce, and in so doing suffered his family and servants to be considerably in advanee;— perceiving this, ha hastened to make up for lost time, and was stepping out with his beg speed when a fel low leaped from behind a heap of lo.tse stones, and ac companying %hello:wish of te lusge club with a demoni ac yell, demanded Money!' with a ferocity °fume and manner perfectly appalling. The bishop gave the robber all the silver he had loose in his pocket. hoping that it would satisfy hinu— but he Was mistaken; firr sooonet had fhe refry= stowed it away in a capacious rent+) his tattered gar ment, then with another'whirl of his bludgeon, and an awful oath, be exclaimed— r "And is it with the like's o' this I'm afther you Mr a few paltry tenpennies! It's the gould have, or I'll spatter yonr brains. Arruh, don't stand shivering there like a Quaker in an ague, but lug out yo ur purse, you distil, hameniately, or I'll bate you as blue us a whetstone." His Lordshp most relnctantly )istltled his well-fil led purse, saying in tremulous accents, "My good fel low, there it is, don't ill-use me, I've given you all, pray let me depart." "lair and softly, if you please; as sure as am not a good fellow,l. haven't done with you yet. I must search for your note case, for rn engage you have a few bits of paper payable at the bank; so hand it over or you'll sop sorrow to-night." It was given up; a glance at the road showed that all hope of assistance from his servants was unavail ing; but the bishop made an instinctive movement as tho'nnxions to escape From further pillage. "Wait a while, or maybe I shall get angry with you, hand over your watch and sales, and then you may trudge." . . Now it happened that the divine felt. a particular regard for his watch—not so much froin its being of constrio-able value, but heeause it had been presented to him by his 61st patron—and he Ventured' to expos tulate. "Surely you have taken enough; leave me my watch. and I'll forgive all you have done." "Who mid your forgiveness, you cold varmint!— Would you trifle with my good nature' Don't force me to du any thing I'd be sorry for—but , s ithuut any more bother, just give me the watch, or by all that's holy—" . And he jerked the bludgeon from his right band to his left, spat in the horny palm of the firmer, mak to grasped !he formidable weapon, as tilt)llgil seriously bent on bringing it into operation 4this action was not unheeded by his victim—lie drew forth the golden time-piece, end with a heavy sigh handed it to the spoiler, who, rolling the chain and scuts around it, ' found some wider aperture into which be crammed it; and giving himself a - shake, to ascertain that it bad found, by its own gravity, a place of safety, he said— •`And now bo off with you, and thank the blissed saints that you lave me without a s.!ratch on your akin or the value of your little finger hurt." It needed no persuasion to induce the bishop to turn Iris back upon the despoiler of his worldly goods, and having no weight to catty, he set Mist tvhatequestri.: ails term "a hand comer," scamely, however, had he reached the middle of the precipitous road, when he perceived his persecutor running after him. He en deavored- to redouble his speed. Ales! what chance had he to a rice with one whose muscles were as strong and elastic as highly tempered sto el' "Stott, you nimble-footed thief of the work - V...Masai the robber—"stop, I tell you! i've a parting word with you yet." The exhausted and del - aweless. clergyman. finding it impossible to contiuue his flight, suddenly came to a stand-still. The fellow appenteited, and his face, in stead of its farmer ferocity, was lit up with a roguish ness of expression, as he said—"and is it likely I'd let you off with a better coat on your back than my own? and will I he afther loosingibe chanie of that elegant hat and wig! Off with them this moment, add then you'll be quit o' me." The footpad quickly divested the bishop of his sin gle-breasted coat—laid violept bands upon the clerical hat and full bottomed wig, --put them on his own per son and then insisted on seeing his late apparel used in their stead; and with a loud laugh ran off, as though his last fent had been the most meritorious in his life, . _ Thankful at having escaped with unbroken bones, his lordship was not long in overtaking his carriage.— The servants could not represe their laughter at see ing their master in such strange and motely attire; but there was in his flux) such 'evidence of terror and suf fering, that they speedily checked their risible in clinations, particularly when they learned by a few brief words the danger he had undergone. "My dear 11L-----!" exclaimed his affectionate wife, after listening to the account of the perils to which had been exposed, "for Heaven's sake off' that filthy jaeket, and throw it out of the window. You can put my warm clock over your shoulders till we reach the next stage, and thon you wilt bo able to purchase some habit better suited to your station and calling." “Travis man) raaily said than done, my,lo, ho replied.

Lately the students of Geneva and &insatiate have labored to counteract this evil, by composing paretic songs, and endeavoring to give them popular circulation. The effect has been happily successful, but within a small circle. • The religious "awakening, which is making daily progress in Switzerland, has had great effect iu imptcniug the national singing. New methods have been adopted in many schools to train the children to the execution of hymns with a fine and simple harmo ny, and the effects have been pleasing—but some thing WAS wanted to reach thtr mass oftbe pcuple, and that has [Jeers supplied. "A few years ago M. Kauport, a Saxon gentleman, ' who has limg resided at Morges, proposed to teach gra tuitously the whole population of young and willing persons in ar y village ar small town to sing together. The rumor attracted considerable attention, and drew forth a variety of aphides's. But soon his premises were realized, and all skepticism .was **deuced. At Morges and in the neighboring villages, concerts of the voice along were heard, producing such a noble effect as no person in the whole country ha& latfute the least idea of. He was induced to extemihis benevolent la bors. lie electrified us it were the whole aide of the Lake ofGeneva. Everywhere the magician of song was followed by crowds. The moral effect of this is beyond ealculatiost already; the result excites astonish ment. "M. Kaupert commonly began in schools and other large rooms; persons .Jf wlingri.atai of every rank in society flecked to these Meetings. It was soon neces sary to ask for the use of churche4 and some large as semblies have been held in the open air. in the for mer places hymns are sling—and in the latter songs, patriotic and descriptive, but all free from any immor al taint. "These large assemblages followed his instruction and caught his method of execution with an enthusi asm- pet fectly astonishing. M. Kaupert's kind man ner and untiring patience had a peat share in produ cing the effects which so tiurprised them. "The city of Geneva invited the musical pbilanthsto pist to Visit' and charm its poptilation. Some . of the higher - classes became alarmed, but in the result, they ure too willingly carried down the stream. Pastors, professors, magistrates. ladies of the first rank, per sons the must distinguished for learning and science, were seen side by side with children and poor people, listening and learning. %%lion the grand meeting took place, no church could roe dive the multitude, and they repaired to the Place du l'alais in number 40140 sing ers—limed...l3 was tablime..

RAISING OF TUE MISSOURI. _ This ill-fated vessel, the property of the Government, and certainly the largest -war-swum frigate in the world, was, it will be recollectcal, in the month of August, 1893, whilst conveying the lion. Caleb Cushing to 'Alexandria, on a mission tolAtion, burnt almost to the water's edge, off Gibralter, and su uk in about four fathoms and a belt' water. All her masts, upper dock, and bulwarks were consumed, as well as her outside planking for some way down her hull, but fortunately .her stanehemis or ribs wine nee injured to any great extent. The spot where she went down was abreast of the King's bastion, about 300 yards from the walls, and right lathe way of vessels coming in and going out, thereby tiodering bor immediate removal neces sary for the safety of the shipping. The American Goveroment not having adopted any prompt measures to raise the wreck, Messrs. Lovell 8 / 1 4 Marshall, con. tractors for raising sunken vessels, and who are in the habit o f cruising abate in difetent partirof detVerkt for that purpose, undertook to weigh , the unfortunate frigate, on condition that they, should receive half the value of the property they recovered. These terms were accepted, and operations accordingly commen ced in the early past of •the late spring, it being known that her machinery was nut materially injured, and the value even of her coppyr. sheathing, and fastenings being sufriefenetodefray the expenses in raising her; another encouraging hope being timt, when she was scuttled, she heeled over rather on one side, but su gently that no fears were entertained of her having bilged, but, en die contrary, that site was perfectly. sound, with the exception of a few unavoidable leaks. On the contractors commencing their arduous -task, who hada schooner in attendance upon them named the Vizard, it was aseertained that the Missouri had become firmly Unbelted in a hard sand, and from the great height the tops of the raancheous. were out of water, it was presumed that if they should succeed in planking her up to high water mark, thus darning in the water, and afterwards pumping it out, she would naturally rise and be easily brought on shore. A vast quantity of timber was procured fromBmyren, as there is a scarcity of tat G. ih__,_..rahlar. itrpcxl,l of plank. jag her up was in ,to course-Ai time proceeded with by some persons equipped is airingapparatus. As the greater part of the work had to be effected under water, it necessarily ozcepierl a considerable time, and it was not until the middle of August dottibe planking was completed. The appearance of the sten , met at this juncture was of the most interesting and remarkable character, It looked like a new vessel ri sing out of the water, and the weeds which had grown up from her bottom seemed like trees grown out of a h a k e. ti er b u n v ,.. 31 ,1, 30 MI o f fisli,of all kinds. Two very large ptimps were then Outten her bow, and ?0 others in different parts of the wreck, in addition ito which the officers of her Majesty's Oidosure Depa r t. ment in the fortress, placed 500 buckets to be used by hand at the service of the contractors. Tho wind° of the dock-yard and °thin the4saginett were also granted . to diem, and.werscarranged in iightedialoas this Ai is. suuri, and the Governor dinected GOO of the troops be longing to the garrison to assist in, pumping her out. At length,.on the morning of the sth ult., everything being in readiness, all this men were assembled on the wharf, and forthwith Conveyed to the *reek, when they commenced , operations. Tin/ consisted of pit ties of the Royal Artillery, and 38th, 4th, and 79th reg iments of the Line.
