JOHN lIIGLER, S.DIIOH
PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1345
MPThe "Gazette" cannot have f orgotten that Pres
idgnt NIX, in hit Inaugural, declared explicitly
"that in his judgment, it was the duty of the Gov
ornment. In extend, 83 far as it may be practicable to
do so, by its rrrenne laws, and all other means with
-611 its power, fair and just protection to all the
greatinterosta of the whole Union, embracing Agri.
cultere, Manufactures, the Mechanic Arts, Commerce
and Navigation!"
• We have no doubt the President will act in strict
accordance, with the solemn assurance given in his
liticL-ess, and deserve as he will receive, that which is
*limeys peculiarly cheering to an honest public servant,
the approbation of his country.
Confiding in the President's sincerity, patriotism.
sound judgment and honesty of purpose, we cheerful
1i pledged his administration a cordial support, and
%%can assure our neighbor that we feel perfectly car
tain the policy of the administration will be to foster
the great interests of the nation, and as far as pos
sible, realize the expectations of the country.
The President devotes his whole time to the public
service—be has the welfare of the people sincerely at
brim, anti will watch over all their interests with pa
le:nal care.
'..o:or:rhe "American," of Tuesday afternoon, took
occasion to 'find fault a ith our pledge to sqpport the
Stational and State Administrations. So far as the
National Administration is concerned, our answer is
so he, found in the reply to the Gazette. The Ameri
can, however, has gone a step further, and charged
the State Administration w ;th hostility to state credit,
without referring to any evidence that such is the fact.
In another article published last week, if we mistake
plot, the American asserted that such was the fact, be
cause the decided Democratic county of Berke, had
not tendered her portion of the funds needed to pay
the August interest; in that be was mistaken, "Old
Berke has paid over her share, and of course our
neighbor must seek other evidence, that the Adminis
!ilia is inimical to the preservation of the faith of the
&ate.

• THE Haar.—A writer in the Charleston Patriot
goes a long way back in order to find out hot weather
equal to that of the present year. He says: "On the
11th, 15th and 16th of Juno 1738, at 3 p. m. the ther
mometer was at 98 deg. in the shaded air of Charles.
ton. Two men fell suddenly dead. "I saw one of
them," says Dr. Lining, immediately after he died; his
face neck Aut and hands were livid." Dr. Chal
mers saw "a beefstake of the common thickness so de
prived of its juices when laid on a cannon fur the
apace of twenty minutes, as to be overdone according
to the usual way of speaking." In the kitchen I sus
pended a thermometer to a beam eight feet from the
floor and fifteen from the fire, the windows and doors
being all open on both sides of the house, so that this
Was the coolest place in it. But even here the mercury
stood at the 115th slivision, and notwithstanding this
seeming distress, the negroes assured me they preferred
this sort of weather to the winter's cold." When
the mercury rose to the 97th and 98th degree of the
thermometer in the shade the atmosphere seemed in a
glow. At bed time it was net in oar power tone long
still, being obliged to turn almost incessantly in order
toessslthe side we rested on before.
Refreshing aleep WELIA therefore a stranger to our
eyes, insomuch that people were in a manner worn
down with watching md the incessant beat together.
..Nor disi this restlessness and frequent tossinge prevent
our being constantly bathed in sweat, though we lay
on thin mattresses spread upon the floor, and had all
the windows in our room open. Nay, many people
lay abroad on the pavcmer.t.
One finds it difficult to credit a retold EX a Carolina
summer in the year 1752, when arrayed in these dart:
colors. From 1750 to 1759, according to the same
authority, the mercury in one year rose to 101 deg.;
in two years to 96 deg.; in two years to 94 deg.; in
one year to 91 deg.; in the seventeerryears succeeding
1791, in title yearlt did not exceed 88 deg.; in four
it did not ex6ied 90 deg.; in six 91 deg.; in two 92 deg.
We may discoVer thus thnt these intoterable suns and
fervent heats are only exceptions after all."
Or St Louis is becoming a great mart for the Isle
of wool. A very large amount has been sold there
this year; according to the New Era, fifty per cent.
more than the sales of last year. That paper states
that the supply is deprived principally from the coun
try on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, some from
the Missouri. The price paid for the articles at St
Louis varies from 16 to 32 cents per pound, according
to quality. It is all purchased for the manufactories
in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and principally
shipped to Boston. This trade in wool promises to be
come a very important branch of Western agriculture,
the prairies affording the cheapest pasturage for in
numerable flocks of sheep.
nrWe learn from the Charleston Courier that a
mat distressing drought prevails in the upper district
$f South Carolina. Apprehensions are entertained
'in some places, that it will be difficult neat year to
supply food to the laboring classes. This state of
things extends into a part of North Carolina. The
district of Fairfield, S. C., has suffered most. Not
only the corn and cotton were dying, but large trees
were withering under the effects of the sun. All veg.
etable nature seemed to be parching up, "while," says
the Coutier, "panting cattle and care-worn man alike
indicate the reigning calamity. Some slight showers
bad fallen, but without moistening the earth; they
seemed hot to assist in scalding the stalks and leaves,
and facilitating the blighting effects of the drought."
Some letters from Fairfield in the Courier, give a met'
ancholy account of the state of things there: A let
ter from Charlotte, N. C., tinted July 5, states that
there has been no rain therein seven weeks—that flour
sold for $3 per cwt., and corn would bring one dollar
per bushel. The earth, says the letter, had not been
wet thoroughly since the 3.1 of February.
THE New JERset SLAvr.: Cssit..—Tho Supreme
Court sitting at Trenton delivered their opinion in this
interesting ease on Friday. Their decision sustains
the law of slavery as it existed poor to the adoption
of the new constitution.
Ist, That the relation of master and slave existed
by law at the adoption of the constitution in 1894.
2J, That that constitution has not destroyed that
relation or abolished slavery.
3d, That the colored man William should be re
manded to the custody of the defendant.
ALL Eotto ~ •E seems bent on a reduction of potnge.
A letter from the Hague mentions a report, that the
government of the Nether lands is making preparation
fur a fundamental reform in its postage ndministration,
by fixing the general rate throughout the kingdom at
a teinh of a florin, er about twopence English, and the
petty postage within the towns, at half that rate.
WORKING MEN'S CorryEls - mfr.—A convention of
the working men and women of New England, was
lield:on the 14th inst , at. IVoburst. in a beautiful Grove.
Delegates from the vicinity continued to arrive until
about half past 11-o'clock, principally from Boston,
Lowell and Lynn, numbering in the aggregate about
2000. The delegates from Boston and Lowell, were
escorted l y a band of music, from the cars to the
grove, which was tastefully arranged for the occasion.
Addresses were mode by Messrs. Seaver of Boston,
Dana of Brook Farm, and Miss Sarah G. Bagley of
Lowell.
N EIV MEXICO.-A late Texan paper contains slot.
ter from Tvxas, in New Mexico, which states that the
oppressive exactions of the authorities in that remote
and interesting portion of the republic, have caused
great discontent ammg the people, and made them
sensible to the good they would derive flout a rupture
of theirconnexion with Mexico. They looked to an.
nexation as the only refuge from the miseries t hey en•
dured. The whole population of Santa Fe and north
of it, refuse to pay the exactions imposed upon them
by the sub-agents of Mexico.
AWN:L.—Mr Williams, of West 17th street, New
York, left his residence about 11 o'clock on Wednes•
day, extremely over heated, and had reached the cor
ner of Hudson and Charlton streets, a hen he fell
dead. His wife had made an appointment to meet
him at a store in Canal street. and was walking down
the9ih avenue, when she met some men bearing hi+
lifeless body upon a bier. She was thrown into Violent
convulsions, and was removed to her residence upon
the same couch with her husba,td.
SELLING A How.—The revolting story that Mrs
Higbee ; of Brooklyn, sold the head of her deceased
husband, turns out to be utterly untrue. He died
of a terrible cancer in the face, and it was his wish
that the diseased portion should he given to the phy
sician for pathelogical investigation. The physiciaus
removed the entire head without her knowledge. It
is a terrible charge against a poor widow. The
Brooklyn Eagle says, "that her trials during the pro
gress of. the terrible disease, which she has for years
attended with all the patience of the most devoted
wife, redound greatly to raise her is the esteem of all
who know her."

A MR. STEELK, who had recently removed from
Ohio to Lewis county, Ky., was called to the door of
his house in the evening and shot dead. Schoonover
[aid another mnn have been arrested for the murder,
which was probably committed because Steele was
the only living witness against a gang shortly to be

A Sep %Venxtr+c.—A most melancholy cringe_
quence of irascibility °centred in Boston a few days
since, in the death of an interesting child of two or
three years of age. by a hasty blow from the hand of its
father. The child was standing upon a chair, and in
a moment of petulance the parent struck it .on the
head, precipitating it, head foremost, Upon the floor.
It soon fell to vomiting, and expired the next'day.—
The body was taken by the unfortunote parents 'to their

at a birth! They are daughters, and doing well at the
last accounts. Although but twenty-six years of age,
Mrs. Marshall has already been the mother of eleven
children.
THE CONGRESS SPRING, at Saratoga, is said to be
one of the most productive pieces of property in the
Union. It yields an income of $20,000; its waters
are bottled in vast quantities, and it is sent to every
portion of the civilized world, and mare recently to
China. A little acid added, and it effervesces freely,
making delicious lemonade.

TIIE MINT
Tire United States have three mints for the coinage
of money. One at Philadelphia, one in North Caro
lina. and the other in New Orleans, and although the
two latter are called mints, yet they may he more just
ly considered as Branches of thy Parent Instituribn nt
estnblb.hed in that city almost immedi
ately after the Government wiP.l.e4labli.hed. The
coinage of money is not generally understood, and the
Philadelphia Chronicle has been at •nme pains to col
lect some account of the pt ores+, "Bullion is brought
to the mint in every form;:tmalgart,atimi from the ore,
plate, jewelry and foreign cnin. All these present a

In crdet to reduce these strips of metal to their

nicely graduated "drawing dies." In the next place
they are pnssed through the cutting press, whizh is

one hundred and sixty pieces, on an avegrage, are cut
in a minute. The pieces thus prepared are next put
into the milling machine, in which the edger to aro' tl
protection to the su,face of the coin. is forced up. In
this machine, one hundred and twenty half dollars, or
five hundred and sixty half dimes, can be milled in a
minute. The pieces of metal thus prepared are then
tested as to their weight, and, if found correct, are
again softened for the dies. The stamping machine
is moved. also, by steam power. The pieces are put
an inclined tube at one side of the machine, front
whence tiny reach the coining dies in regular order,
receive the impression, and fall into a box below—up
on the oppo,ite side, a perfect coin, ready for circula
tion. The presses are of varicus sizes, to suit the va
rious denominations of coin. The usual speed of stri
king is sixty pieces per minute for the half dollar,
seventv.five fur the quarter, and Ninety for the dime.
The Mint, with a few additional hands, is competent
to coin ten millions, half gold and half silver, an
nually."
The Sub-Treasury.—We learn that the Secretary
of the Treasury has completed, or nearly so. his ar
rangements with the banks for the safe-keeping of the
public funds. The deposite banks have given security
by a pledge of United States or State stocks for the
funds which they have on hand belonging to the gov
ernment. The securities are, as far ns may be, adopt
ed to the localities of theplace of deposit. Thus, in
',Ohio. the stock of that State will be accepted; and in
. 46 York, the stocks of this State; and so with re
gelid to others, where these government securities are
not offered, and where the. States arc solvent and pay
their diyklent4,—N Y Express.
[The temporary arrangement being made for the
present, as regards the custody of the public moneys
by the Seeretary'ef the Treasury, relates exclusively
to their security. Neirly the whole of the security has
been, thus far, received in United States stock. A
very small portion of Stute,itock his been deposited.
The work will go on until the security is ample and
undoubted.—Union, July 19.
Trial of Green for the Murder of hie rife.—This
trial occupied the whole of the last, and runs into the
present week. The Troy papers contain full report.,
one of a hick, the Budget's is to be publishedin pamph
let form.
As the jury are not allowed to see newspapers. until
the trial is over, there can be no harm itt baying that
the testimony disclosed one of the most deliberate,
cold-blooded murders that we-have ever read. Green
had been married but a short time to abeautiful, effete
donate and confiding girl of 18, he beint , 22. With
out any provocation of cause (for when she was dying
she appealed to him to say whether she had ever de
ceived him or in any way conducted improperly, and
was answered in the negative) this monstet dosed her,
day and night with arsenic, which he put into her cof
fee, her chicken broth and her medicine, standing by
her bed-side unmoved while the poison was agonizing
her with pain! And what Is more strange than fietion,
is the fact that this poison was repeatedly administered
while persons around the sufferer were witnessing its
deadly effects. The victim herself, though apparently
conscious that her husband was murdering her, took
whatever he pirated.
A CANADIAN COUNTERBLAST
While the question "what nextl California or Can
ada?" is fresh on the lips of the citizens of the Re
public, the Colonists of Greht Britain in the two Can
'Was, are simultaneously indulging in a speculation as
to whether theircapacity of swallow is sufficient for a
republic of about our filIP. After contemplating the
intended prey for some time, the Trcnto Gazette finds
out that the northern States from East to West, will be
enough frr one meal, and suggests that they be annex
ed to Canada forthwith, and placed under the govern
! ment of a Viceroy and provincial parliament. To
bring us out of the debasement of independence and
the darkness of self government is the charitable ob
ject
. of our Canadian sympathisers, and they would
force their superior system upon us as their home gov
ernment did the opium trade on the Chinese, from a re
gard to the purest principles of philanthropy. The
Toronto Gazette says:
"After a Babylonish captivity of seventy years to
republicanism, our plan would obliterate the tea war,
in the cordial union of the Eastern, Northern and
Western States, with the Bridal Possessions, which
would form a powerful confederacy under a British
Viceroy or Viceroys with free constitutional govern
ments. We know well that many of the moat influen
tial and intelligent citizens of these States would re
joice in each a deliverance, but the mass of the less
enlightened will cling to their present form of govern
ment for some time yet. We shall not, however, des
pair of seeing the British flag waving at the Battery
of New York and on Fanuil Hall in Boston. It is
impossible that those who have yet some ideas of
freedom left, can mouth longer submit to the require
ments of the Slave States."
'I here is something not a little ludicrous in the tone
of condolence in which t he provincial Gazetteer speaks
of our "Babylonish captivity to Republicanism." It
is like the self•satisfied ejaculation of Dibdin'a sailor:
"in such a stormy night as this, bow I pity folks
ashore!" It Li well, however, that our Canadian
bt ethrrn should accustom themselves in time to the
contemplation of a destiny in which the States are to
be sharers. Albany Atlas.
Oa' See with what grace our fair "Maria," paints
one of the scenes that make Ireland loved. These are
our countless wealth. If we could barter to-morrow
the soft, generous, beloved hearts that live this life, for
the black bile, or stolid ignorance, or canketed infideli
ty of England, we would pray to God to leave our
country in poverty and virtue. Dublin Nation.
THE WIDOW'S FIELD.
AN AUTUMNAL SKETCH IN IRELAND.
The golden harvest loads the land—
The squire has called the reaper band—
A duy. an hour may not be lost,
Whate'er the arm and sickle cost;
For rising sun and altered range
Of wind and cloud betoken change;
But, tho' the reapers fuin would hire
Their sweat and sinew to the squire,
And tho' he proffers amplest pay,
They will not reap his fields to-day.
The hearty farmer, ere the aim,
Among his wittier friends had gone—
And one and all were well content
To run the wages 'gainat the rent;
For who has seen his getterou. door,
Or spirit, berried against the poor,
TNo' oft on him, in death, they draw
For fire or turf, or sheaf of straw?
Yet feel his kindness as they may,
They will nut reap his fields to.day.
Where are the tenants ur ,he squire?
Sure reap they must, if he requite!
Where the farmer's manly Rona?
Nodoubt, with him theirduty runs!
Hark to their voices in the shout,
That from yon reaper throng rings out,
As light of heart and loose of hand,
Before their noble task they etand—
Si rip.atart, and strain, "Goal speed them," pray—
"hey reap the widow's field to do)!
And well the weakest arm behaved—
Ere fell the dew, the field was saved;
The faithful promise circled them,
To gather thus, and there again,
With mvny a wish the field might swell
Into a dozen fields to fell,
And sweetly at the evening's close,
The simple, touching attain arose--
"To-morrow we can milk for pay,
15'e reaped the widow's fi.dil to-day. Manta

A Noble Fellow.—At • hard fought battle between
the Tennesseenns under General Jackson, and the
Creeks under the fnmous Weatherford in 1814, the
rear guard tell into confusion and endangered the whole
array. At that moment Lieut Armstrong with 25 men
advanced against 500 Creek warriors with • single
piece of cannon and checked the charge. Saven of his
little band fel! at the first fire. Among them Lieut.
A. who felt desperately wounded, but cried out to his
men: "Some of you must perish. nay brave fellers,
brit sone the cannon." Ttiey did save the cannon,
says Gen. Jackson, and the whole army wits saved
from defeat by their heroic courage.

"There ought lo be a Lam (Tin it."—There is a
well known old gentleman of this city, who has ac
quired a sort of notoriety by being always found on the
whig side of all questions through all mutations of
time, men and pLier. He is the most consistent poli
tician of that school we hove ever met His
remedy for all evil is in legislation; and bin favorite
phrase whenever nny thing occurs to offend him, is,
"There ought to ben law agin it."
If a child is run over in the street by a fast trotting
horse, while other people gather round him, take Lim
into their homes, pour oil on his wounds, or run after
the carelens drivel and punish him fur his cruelty, he
stands on the sidewalk declaiming against the prac
tice of di lying horses and calls out "There out to be a
law ngin it."

on the end of the dock, calling out loudly to all the
by-standers.— . ;Outrogeous! shameful! There ought

When we meet him at market in the morning, ho
stops us, and with en angry look, pointing to the red
lobaters and green cucumbers displayed in tempting
profusion around, he exclaims: "Think of the deaths
that may occur from these, before the week is out.—
It is infamous to see these things exposed for sale.—
There ought to be a law agin it '
And as we walk down the street together, the old
gentleman does nothing but descant upon the insuffi
ciency in number, of our laws; and when we parted
from him this morning, he was standing aghast at a
small mountain of pine apples and bananas, at a well
known fruit grocer's, repeating to all who heard him
—"There ought to be a law agin it."

Conducted on Sabbath-keeping principles
THE Proprietors of the old established Line have
thoroughly recruited and renewed their stock,
and are well prepared to forward Produce and Mer
chandise on the opening of navigation.
The long experience of the Pe oprietors in the. car
rying business, with their watchful attention to the in
terests of customers, induces them to hope that the
patronage heretofore extended to "Bingham's Line"
will be continued and increased.
Deeming the usual self-glorifying style of advertis
ing too absurd for imitation, and-believing that with
former customers we need no self-commendation, we
would merely invite such as have not heretofore
patronised our Line, to give us a trial.
Our rates of freight shall at all times be as low as
the lowest that are charged by other responsible Lines.
Produce and Merchandise will be received and for
warded without any charge for advertising, Storage
or Commission. Bills of lading promptly forwarded,
and every direction carefully attended to.

DR. DUNCAN'S EXPECTORANT REMEDY.
We find Gum some of the Eastern papers, that this
popular medicine is performing some of the most re
markable cures on record: in the City of Philadelphia,
within the lest year 2376 persons have been restored
to perfect health, in New York 2788, Boston 1100.
Baltimore 960, and we would suppose an average
amount in all other Cities where this Medicine has
been introduced. This fact is sufficient evidence—
showing the wonderful efficacy of this trly valuable
medicine. We are acquainted with numerous per
sons in "our ci y" who have been restoredito pet fect
health by the timely use of Dr. Duncan's Medicines,
and would therefure recommend them to those suffer
ing with the premonitory symptoms of Consumption—
such as Colds, Coughs, Chilliness, impaired Appetite,
Slight Fever, Hoarseness, and difficulty growing nut
of the matter that secrets itself in the lungs, soreness
of the thrust, a dry and painfulcougb, tightness of the
chest, attended with a sense of suffocation, complex
ion sallow and pallid, difficulty of breathing, readness
of the cheeks, palpitation of the heart, sick headache,
saltish taste in the mouth, severe pain in the side,
breast and small of the back, heat of the skin, irregu
lar state of the bowels, foul tongue, distutbed rest,
difficulty of lnving on the side, depression of spirits,
faintness, atten ded with weakness end general debility
of the whole system, giddiness and dimness of sight,
pain in the stomach, and sometimes vomiting, wasting
or decay of the budy, a hacking cough, unusual de
gree of heat, inrrisased pain in the breast and side,
spitting of a white. or green and white or bleedy mat
ter, night sweats, hectic fever, &c., &c. Such are
some of the meo common symptoms of that dreadful
destroyer, CONSUMPTION. And being a serious
and solemn fact, w if! those afflicted any longer deprive
themselves of a cure. when one is so near at hand—
which is DR. DUNCAN'S EXPORANT REME

Does sickness weigh upon your heart?
Or pains afflict your breast?
Try Dr. Daistean's Healing Art,
And it will give you rest.
It clears away the misty cloud,
Disease apreada o'er the soul,
And whispers through the gloomy shroud,
"Your health may yet be whole."
See yonder rose of lovely bite!
'Tie withering with decay;
It scarcely sip* themorning dew,
Before it fades away,
The Worm of Death was in the stem,
And strengthened as it grew—
And when it bloomed. (a lovely gem,)
It nipped it through and through.
That Worm of Death might be defied,
If Dr Duncan's Bit was tried;
And many lovely damsels save
The fate of anuntimely grave.
