The Gazette•—Oregon
The Gazette, having no further occasion fur Mr
Bush es authority on the Oregon question, has di-mis
red him, and now invites our attention to an article
from the Journal of Commerce. It will be recollect
ed that when we referred the Gazette to Mitchell's
Map and the Family Magazine, as good authority, the
editor refused so to consider them, and declared that
nothing could have influence with him but official doe
amen's, and forthwith we were treated to near a co
lumn of extracts from an °Mein! communication of
Mr ROSH on the subject. In replying to this article
of the Gazette. we took the extracts from Mr Rush's
letter as given in that paper, and presented them as
official authority which fully sustained the position
taken by us on the Oregon controversy. We see, by
the Gazette of Saturday morning, that his mind has
undergone a change, and we are now referred to the
Journal of Commerce as good outhority,—official
documents ate no longer the thing with him. Well.
we have looked over the article of the Journal of Com
merce, and find that it is made np plincip2lly of ex
tracts from two 'Britt publications—the "Edinburg
Review," and the "London Foreign Quarterly Re
view," and theee, with the Journal of Commerce, i n
the op . nion of ourneigbbor, is authority "not likely to
be questioned," by us. Our neighbor is much Mista
taken. The Journal of Commerce has never been on
the Democratic side in political matters—and the on
ly direct part we have known that paper to take in
politics, was to favor the Native American party.—
Its editor, before the native, organized as a party in
New York,acted with the Whig party, though the pa.
per professed neutrality. Su much for the Journal of
Commerce. The British Reviews may be good au
thority with our neighbor, in matters in dispnte be
tween the United States and Great Britain, but for our
part, we have little faith in anything said by them,
on questions where England is interested either direct
ly or indirectly. One of these Quarterlies, the Lon
don, we believe, in referring to to the Oregon occupn
tion bill, save
"We venture to predict. that it will be thrown out,
simply because it cannot be carried without a war
with England; and there are three sound reasons why
America cannot en to war—she liar neither men,
owney, nor credit."
The reply of the Journal of Commerce to he above
insulting paragraph, is pointed and satisfactory; we
wish we could say as much of its article entire. At
thecommencement of the controversy with the Gazette
we charged the editor of that paper n ith advocating
a "compromise" with England. or in other words
that he was in favor of "yielding to England the
territory of Oregon north of the 49th degree. This
enraged him greatly. and in his next paper we were
treated to a column of as low abuse as ever disgraced
* public journal. Now we find him endorsing edito
rially, an article from the Journal of Commerce, in
-which the editor in remarking upon the subject of
•compromising at the 49th degree, says:
- "If -England recedes Aiwa far from her claims,
it is as math as can be reasonably expected Let
Irs meet her in the same spirit. Now is the time
to bring thin LAST boundary question with England to
a peaceful and honorable close."
The Editor of the Gazette mu.t certainly be near
skin to the Frenchman's flee, of which he acid "when
you put your finger upon him ho is not there."
Will the editor of the Gazette say that he is in favor
of a "compromize" which shall fix the 4.91 h degree
of north latitude as the line between this country and
Great Britain, and that to bring about a settlement of
the question he is willing to yield to Englund all the
territory between the 40th and 54th degree?
When we receive Lis answer to the above, we will
again Teatime the discussion.
THE LIST OF LYTTrItS.—We have only to any ,
in reference to:an article which appeared in Saturday's
Ariel, that the statements are untrue. It is not true
that the Postmaster has disregarded the law, in giving
the letter list to this Office. It is not ti ue that he has
changed the arrangement of publishing in two papers
—the Post Office instructions mode the change—
letters cannot now be published in two papers unless
directed by the Postmaster General.
The statement made about the circulation of this
paper needs no refutation from us; the public know
'that it is untrue, and moreover that it is made for the
purpose of injuring this establishment.
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE SUPPORT Or THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.—We have been informed thnt, at a re
cent meeting of the Firemen's Association, n com
mittee was appointed with a view to ascertain from
the agents of the various foreign Insurance Compa
nies which have agencies in this city, what sum they
will be willing to appropriate towards the support of
the Fire Department.
This is as it should be; and we hope the committee
will attend strictly to their duties, and if necessary,
publish the result of their labors. These foreign in•
surance companies are reaping liberal profits from
our citizens, without paying one dollar, in the shape
of tax, to our city; and the aggregate of their risks
against fire at this time, is far greater than our local
offices ever enjoyed. They are, therefore, deeply in
tterested in the encouragement of the Fire Department,
and the public will look to them for a liberal appro
priation to that useful body, more particularly as the
revenue of the Department has been considerably
lessened by the inability of the Pittsburgh Insurance
Companies to matte donations
The trial of Jabez Boyd, at West Chester, Pa,
charged with murder of Wesley Patton,:was.lwought
to a close on the sth inst., by the rendition ofaverdiot
of rainy. The plea of insanity, which had been set
up, was sustained with much ingenuity, but the facts
could not be overcome.
LIBKL.—The Rev, H. Righter, editor of the Na
tional Protestant Magazioe was on Saturday arrested
and held to bail in New York, in the earn of $5,000
to answer for a charge of libel preferred against him
by the Rev. C. Sperry late of said magazine, p lum _
sea laid at $5,000.
AHEAD rrr:—Col. Sam. Medary had sweet pota
toes of his ow n raising on his table last week, the first
in that region of his State. The Col• was the most
sagacious and successful political Captain Ohio ever
had, and is now going ahead of his neighbors at farm

LOSS OF THE STEAMBOAT KENT AND
SEVERAL VEVES.
We clip from the Cleveland Herald, of Aug. 13, the
fulkrwingt The Detroit Express of Tuesday evening,
brings the melancholy intelligence of the loss of the
steamer Kent, plying between Detroit and Buffalo, on
the Canada side. The Express says "the Kent left De
troit on Monday evening, at hairpin 6 o'clock, with
a good load of passengers. At half past 3, on Tues
day morning, L, miles this side of the "Rood Eau,' ,
she met the London, bcund up. A collision took
place, which sunk the bow of the Kent in some five
minutes, carrying down at least five individuals, and it
is feared more.
The following are the names given us by the Clerk
of the Kent, as missing,: J. E. Quaw, Redford, Michi
gan; J. Lowding, Ypsilanti, Michigan; Chas. Osborne,
Genesee co., N. Y.; Mr. Demming, Berlin, Con, and
grandson, from Galena;
Two young ladies and a boy from near Ypsilanti
name nut known
All
the officers and hands of the boat and seventy
nine of the passenges, including 10 children, were ea
ved.
IVe hope these are al:, but veiy much fear it is
The stern of the Kent is still afloat, and she was
towed some way by the London, until finding no head
way could be made, tb•y supposed that her bow had
struck.
The London is but little injured.
When the boats struck, they were in seventy feet
FIRE PROOF STREETER ES.—Every great fire we
have, induces Messrs. the Public, to think of fire proof
' I hou.ies In connection with this important subject we •
' see an article in a British scientific
,iqurnol which
that Dr. Fuchs. a member of the Academy of
Sciences at Munich, is said to have discovered a corn
-1
positition by which he renders wood incombustible;
, t he composition is made of granulated earth and an
, alkali. To obtain this composition, the inventor
says, dissolve some moist, gravelly earth, which has
been previously well washed, and cleared from any
heterogeneous matter, in a solution of caustic alkali.
This mixture has the property of not becoming decrial
posed by tire or water.—When spread upon wood, i ,
forms a vitreous coat, and is proof against the two
elements.
'Tis in vain to regret a misfortune, when 'tis
past retrieving; but few have philosophy or strength
enough to practice it. A famous physician ventured
five thousand guineas upon a project in the South Sen.
He was told at Gertavra3's, that 'twas all lost. “Why,',
says he, "'tis but going up five thousand pair of stairs
more. This answer deserved :statue.
ANoTHER HONOR FOR AMERICAN SCIE/CM—The
Bavari•n Minister of War, says the Philadelphia
Sentinel, has otdered a Pattern Musket of the Fire
Arms invented and patented by WM. W. Honartt.,
Esq., a Member of the Bar, of this City, to be made
here and forwarded to Munlo, for the Bavarian gov
ernment. It is loaded at the breach, will do execu
tion a mile, and can be loaded and fired by the troops
in the ranks whilst lying down, or standing erect,
twenty times in lout minutes.
A WINDFALL —lt is said that the Hon. Levi Lin
coln, formerly Governor of Massachusetts. a member
of Congress, and Collector of the Port of Boston (in
which several capacities he lost his fortune) has re
cently received, by the will of the late Daniel Waldo,
the sum of eighty thousand dollars.
ANOTHER WINDFALL.—The Bangor Gazette states
that a Mr Irving, who lives at PitOrtw, Penobscot
county. Me., in humble circumstances, has recently
received intelligence from Scotland that his wife is
heir to an estate her portion of which will amount to
between one and two millions of dollars.

(1,7 The Albany At gas relates the following instance
of sagacity in a dog, during a recent fire in that city:
"A spirited, sagacious dog, that has attached herself
to Engine No. 9, was seen, while the Company was

the waste of water from the hose, sometimes b) place
ing her mouth and then her paws upon the leak!—
These sagacious efforts were witnessed by hun

Smith the Razor Strop man, recently picked up
a pocket book in Boston, for which a reward of ten dol

needed it more than he did."
MR. WHITNEY'S EXPEDITIRS.-A letter from one
of the Whitney company has been received at Roches

of Prairie du Chien. They expected to be 30 or 40
days more in crossing the Missouri. They travel on

In crowing the streams they sometimes had to unload
the wagon two or three times a day,and lift it over by
hand. Some have enjoyed the luxury of sleeping o
ver night in wet clothes, from standing in the mud and
water waist deep to lift out the wagon. This, how.
ever, they regard as one of the varieties of prairie
life.

LAND-THE REPEAL MOVEMENT.
Frog' the reliers received by the Great Eiritain;we
extract the following on the subject of the Reuel
moiSment in !raised, and of the future intention of
O'Connell. The weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso
ciation was held on the 21st of July, Mr Magennii in
the' Chair, when after the transaction of some other
business,
Mr O'Cosirst.rr, rose, and said as that was the last
opportunity he should have in some time of address
ing the Association, be considered it advisable to lay
the present state of Ireland before the public. He
wished it, however, to be understood, that he did not
intend to be idle; on the contrary, he had cut out
considerable quantity of work for himself, which would
occupy him during his sojourn in the country, Mr
Fitzroy Kelly, her Majesty's Solicitor General, in his
late address to the electors of Cambridge, had stated
that agitation and agrarian disturbances had ceased
in Ireland; but as a proof of his accuracy in the affairs
of Ireland, he had to state that be expected to have
the pleasure of addressing 150,000 men of the county of
Wisford oa the next Wednesday, and un equal number
in Galway during the ensuing week. That was ne
sign that the agitation was subsiding; and lest the gov
ernment should forgri w that there were such people as
the Irish, it was determined upon to hold two monster
meetings during each month. (Cheers.) The minis
try had certainly altered their tune with regard to Ire
land, and Sir James Graham had retracted his ex
pression, "that concession to Ireland had reached its
limits," but he would never rest satisfied till Ireland
was placed on a footing of perfect equality with Eng
land.
This country. lie regretted to say, was not in such a
state of tranquility as could be desired. Pitediaedis
turbancea %sus rife in many comities. In fact the
country was not in such a state for twenty years past.
Fermuna h was disturbed, but he could not even guess
at the reason, as it was blessed with a large number
of Most excellent landlords; but nevertheless, the "Mol
ly Magnires," were busy in circulating their notices.—
Thnt the country was disturbed, there can beam ques
tion; arid was it not melancholy to have her Majesty's
Solicitor General coming forward and sititL'g deliber
ately, that peace order and obedience to the laws ex
isted? Ves. Mr Fitzroy Kelly asserted that agitation I
had ceased in Ileland, and that tranquility resigned.
Whilst he gave the government credit for theit good
wishes towards this country, he would ask how far
had the promise held out iu the Q.Seeh ' fl speech, at the
opening of the session, with regard to Irclanol, been
fulfilled? The Maynooth bill had certainly been pas
sed, hut that measure wee more valuable in its col
!attend nature than for the endowment it conferred.—
The discussions which it gave rise to plainly showed
the innate hatred of the English people to the religion
of the people of this country.
The College Bill he might look upon as passed. and
were they to consider that measure ns H boon which the
Catholic prelates had pronounced ns chingerons t o f a ith
and moral.? It hind been asserted that the opposition
to this bill would be moderate, but he was in a position
to be able to state that the opinions of the Bishops
wi h regard to it were unchanged, and would continue
so. it was reasonably expected that some alteration
would be made in the Charitable Beque- is Act doting
the present session, but the answer of Sir James Gra
hnm to the question proposed by Lord Arendul, in the
House ofCommints, on Friday night, has completely '
dissipated all hopes of amelioration. The Catholic
Bishops, who had supported that measure solely on
the ground that the amendments they suggested would
be introduced, hod remonstrated with the government
on the timeliery that had been practiced upon them,
but the answer to their remonstrances was, that the
best cons iderat ions of the government would be direct
ed to the points suggested; but then best considera
tions just meant no considerations :it all. After refer
,
ring to a variety of topics having reference to the fu•
tore male of currying on the Reim? ion,Mr. O'Connell
concluded by giving notice of his intention to prepare
and put in form the following, hills; with a view to
their edoption by the British legislature, end that each
member of Parliament should be furnished witb copies
of them fully six weeks before the commencement of
next session,

PITTSBURGH, August 9, 1845.
Feustio H•RRIst If I had not a kind of possessory
right to your columns as a correspondent, I should re
main silent, while absent for afew days from "home."
And if I were in any other place than this, you would
not hear from me, until I should greet you in your new
office home. But there is so much about this city to
excite even wonder, as well as surprise, that to write
seems to be a duty.
You cannot even imagine how rapidly buildings are
going up here. When I left Pittsburgh in April, a
few days after the "great fire," it was a sad anti deso
lute city, for the devouring flames had laid the busy
portion of it in ruins. But now, how changed! Every
where the hammer of the carpenter and the clink of
the mason are heard,and stores and house., are rising
as if by the magic power of some enchanter's wand.
On Wood street, one hundred and sixty buildings,
Mostly Stores, are in progress, and erected; and in
beauty and elegance they far surpass those that were
destroyed. There is a uniformity in the architecture
that will odd very much to the beauty of this busy
street. Many of the stores urn very large, and will be
truly elegant. I have observed a few with old fashion
ed fronts, and they look no odd as an unadorned Shak
er woman beside a full-dressed fashionable lady.
On Writer street, hut a few, if any lots will be va
cant in 30 der, from this time. The warehouses on
this street will surpass those of any city that I have
ever seen. Some of them will be magnificent; and
they will testify to the world, flint if Pitt-burgh were
burned down, the means of its citizens were not burned
up. The wt.,' kmen are busy in clearing away the rub
bish from the site of the brie "Monongahela House."
The walls of a new house will soon be rising, which
it is said will surpass the former in elegance and splen
dor.
The "Metclitints' Hotel," rinw going up on Wood
street, will ben vet y large end enmmodinti• horse, tist
such an one as is needed, and will he profitable, in a
business place like this. Who is to be "mine host"
of this house, is yet uncertain. Market street, the
fashioraible street of this city, is not being built up
as much as Wood. IVater and Smithfield streets.
This street is RIAAA AP wide on rite two sidewalks
on Superior street, Cleveland. This is a little the
dustiest place in this world, at this titne.
I know not how many buildings hose been built and
ore being built" in the burnt district " 1 should
think as many en 500 cr 600 and AA a general thing,
mitch better buildings than those burnt down The
outward appenrnnce (titbit! part of the city will be
very much improved in conserpience of the "great
fire." In twelve months from this time, I believe a
stranger would look in vain to find any remains of the
"burnt district." Truly the energy and enterprise,
and never failing industry of the people of Pittsburgh,
are %of-thy of all commendation and imitation.
A heavy manufacturer informed me that there had
!tit/ been a single failure here in consequence of the
fire, and that the deporites in hank had increased since'.
the 10th of April, and the demand for money in bank
verylimitedthot nil kinds of business is prosperous,
and that none are discouraged or disheartened.
Hie people of Pittsburgh are emphatically a work
ing people. Here wealth increased from the raw ma
terial, taken from the bowels and surface oldie earth;
and it is impossible that such a people should not be
prosperous under any circumstances.
Never were public. donations bestowed upon a eeo
ple more worthy to receive them, than were the dona
tions made to the people here: fur if incistry, integri
ty, fearless enterprise, manly wroth, hospitality, sym
pathy, benevolence, and kindness of heart, exceeding
notch, entitle any people to the consideration of the
public, then are this people justly entitled to ir. And
they here feel, more than works cart express, the fiber
ality of the public to them, in their hour of need.— 1 1
Pittsburgh will prosper, and it will continue to be, as
it now is. the great workshop of this country
"The Allegheny Cemetery," of which you have seen
mention made in the papers, is a most beautiful and
lovely spot. The architect and surveyors are now
engaged in laying off the ground, in carriage ways,
walks and lots. It contains one hundred and fiveacres,
and has every variety of ground to make it deniable
as a burial place. Ido not feel like giving a descrip
tion of this place, which is ao soon to pass from the
possession of the now living to the dead. To me,
"Hatfield" hos aunty pleasant, hallowed and emit-tir
ing recollections. Here, in this venerable o:t1 man
sion, I wooed and won the f purest, loveliest be
ing, that ever pronounced the solemn marriage vows;
and here '•I sat and watched her many a day," As
Consumption was silently doing its work of deat h,nnd
until her spirit took its flight to its home of bliss be
yond the stars, to the bosom of her Saviour and her
God. And here, beneath the "strong arms" of vener
able oaks, where so often in her childhood she had i
played, and where in early womanhood her mind has
been "in contemplation lust," she, the loved and the I
departed, sleeps in the silent grave. The birds are'
singing and the sweet flowers are blooming over her
grave, whose voice ever made those around her joyous
end g lad, while here on earth.
"I see thee still!
Rememhrnnce, cuithful to her trust.,
Calls thee in bennty from the dust:
Thou contest in the morning light,
Thoiert with me through the gloomy night;
In dream. I meet thee os "1 old;
Then thy stilt ai ms ny neck enfold,
And thy wee, voice i. in my env-.
In every scene of memory dear
I see thee still.
I see thee still!
Here was thy .roomer noon's retreat,
Here wan thy favorite fire-side seat
This was thy chninber—here each day
I sat and watched thy sad derity,
Here on this hod, thou last did li ;
Here, on my bosom, thou didst
Dark hour! once more tts woes unfold;
As then I saw thee pale and cold
I see thee still.
Grave of the loved and lost;—here kindred come
To water thy fresh verdure with the tears
Of daily sorrow
Loved grate, farewell! Thou host not buried up
The rich undying Mind. Day after Day
Memory restores, in mellowed loveliness
Communion with thy pure and gifted soul.
Oh ! if so precious be the fading bliss
Of rarth.• offection how will soul adult soul
Mingle with faultless union, when they rise
To live forever in a hlond-sealed bond,
One with the glorious Saviour."
To me, this is "the holiest spot of all the earth "
It is consecrated ground. Perhaps it is not meet that
1 should here speak my heart's deep grief.
It it well that large cities and towns should have
, beautiful and retired burial places for the dead; and
it would seem as you look over the+e beautiful mounds
and little glens, and valleys shaded by th 3 old forest
liens, that Nature designed this as s home for the dead
The walls of this old mansion, which has so often
echoed the sounds of mirth and revelry, will soon echo
the voice of prayer and praise to Him who is the com
mon Father of its all. Soon will these fields be te
nanted with the dead, and here will the living come to
plant emblems of affection over the graves of the loved I
anti this depettted. Yours truly, HUON.

THE ANTI-RENT MURDER.
A Fearful Ereatimtext.aA Delhi caltespondent 1
of the Albany.eveniag Journal gives seen farther
particulars of this dreadful deed:
It is said tbeproperty distralned Was inst field, and
the Indians forbid any and all peewee entering to med
dle with It, and told Pete, P Wright if he bid on the
Property he would •'go home in the wagon, feet fore
most." M r Wright, who is a man of great courage,
let down the bars and crowded his way into the field,
and was followed by Steele and Edgerton, *be mere
mounted on horses. Wright was on foot. The In
dians immediately forme) a semi-circle around the
party. Wright standing between the horses. The
chief told his men to shoot the horses, and Edgerton
immediately called on the spectators, of wham there
was a large number present, to assist in executing the
laws. As well might he have talked t'3 the bills..—
Not a finger was raised by one of them. The chief
then called out to his men and said, '•Shoot the hor
ses. shoot the men." The Indians, who were all
armed with muskets and riffles, immediately fired a
volley at the officers and their horses. Edgerton's
horse reeled and fell; Steele's horse pitched and fell—
Steele at the same time falling in another direction
from the horse, and exclaiming, "I am shot, I am
dead." Sheriff Moore immediately ran up to Steele,
and,appealing to the Indians, said, "In God's name
you have done enough."
Steele had received three shots—one through his
bowels, ono through his right side, and one through
his right atm. This was at 2P. M.. and he died at 20
minute s pest 8 P. M.
After this most delihetrite and fiendish murder, one
would suppose the Indians would have been satisfied.
but, so fur from it, they huJ a rejoicing around the
field, while Steele was dying in the house. And ma
ny of the spectators refused to render the least assist
ance, and even to carry him to the house. After
Steele was in the house, and while suffering indescrib
able pain, he spoke to Earl mildly and said, •If you
had Mitt! you: rent, i had not lost my life " To which
Earl, with the coolness and inhumanity of a fiend, le
plied, "I would not pay my rant to save forty lives!:
Earl is a man worth ten thousand dollars, but not for
twice ten thousand would pour Steele exchange places
with him. He had far better be dead than live as be
must, "dying every day lives."
The writer adds: '•Somettline must be done. The
people are becoming so enraged that they will not sub
mit o it, and if. thorough measures are not set on firot
by the State authorities to protect cur officers and cit
izens in the discharge of their duty, and to ferret out
these men who have thus butchered a faithful public
officer in broad duy, there will be imminent danger of
civil war. Hundreds of men are already talking
seriously of turning out to murder and shoot down
those who are arispeci.ed, and unless something is done
and these outrages continue, depend upon it no efforts
can restrain our citizens, whose motto will be ven
geance and not justice."
