LEWIS WEYMAN, 4llegken9
i Mr. IlamptOn's Masonry.
••
The Gazette of Saturday contained an article
reply Ito the communication of "JusTics,"
'Whieb appeared in the Post of FridaY morning:—
The editrir says:
"We have previously stated that Mr. HmarroN
renounced Masonry many years ago. and that we
and hundreds of our citizens had read his renunci-
ation as published in the Pittsburgh T int cs,in 1832
The editor of the Post being a Mason hitns.elf, we
ask. hirri bn what authority he asserts that .11:tr.
Hampton .is now a Mason? Does he know the
assertion :to be true? Has he received it masoui
cally or otherwise from any brother? Has he any,
even the otherwise
evidence, that in calling Mr. Hamp
ton a Mason he states the truth?
"As we said before—we ctcknoteletlge that Mr.
Flamplon was once a Mason--having joined the
Lodge ini 1826, and withdrawn in 1829. His re
nunciation. was first published in the Somerset her
ald, on the sth of June, 1832. He lies acted with
zealous efficiency in the Antimasonie party ever
since, and we do not believe there is a member of
our party . in. this county that doubts these facts.—
If there is one we will render him all the satisfac
tion he ilesires."
We have, as remarked the other day, again and
again called upon the editor of the Gazette to give
publicity to the evidence that Mr.'Hampton ever
renounced masonry, but he has as yet neglected to
do so, thiaugh he has again asserted it to be a fact.
He says that his (Mr. Hanipton's) renunciation
was firstpublislied in the Somerset Herald on the
sth of June, 1832—more than; five years, we belhse,
after the If organ affair. If the statement made
by the - editor in relation to the renunciation is
really true, why not re-publish it? 'Why withhold
if the public? The editor wishes to know,
too, on what authority we asserted that Mr. Hamp
ton wa.s . ti Mason. We will inform the editor. We
were fist told that Mr. H. was a Mason, and a very
zealous One too, by a highly respectable citizen of
this county, who never was connected with Ma
sonry, and who, we believe, is opposed to the or
der. Afterwards the editor of the Gazette himself
admitted that Mr. Hampton was a Mason. Know
ing that the editor of the Gazette had at one time
been a Mason himself, we presumed that he had
“masonically received" the information from his
BROTHER Haarrros-, and further it will be seen
by the extract given above that the editor himself
again acknowledges that Mr. Hampton , was a ma
son and:that he joined the Lodge in 1626.
Mr. HAxprox, says the editor of the Gazette.
"joined the Lodge in 18213," and that his renuncia
tion was: first published in the “Somerset Herald,"
on. the sth of June, 1832. In December, 1828,
says Mr.d)eford, he was elected Junior Warden of
Laurel Lodge, at Uniontown, in which office he
served until he left Fayette county. Mr. Ilsme-
Tow, therefoie, nearly two years after the Morgan
affair, was an officer in a Masonic Lodge,. and did
not publicly renounce until June. 1832, some
five yea 6 after the commencement of the Anti
masoniclexcitement. Without comment, we sub
mit these facts and dates to the consideration Of
the public.
Again!we call upon the editor of the Gazette to
give publicity to the document which he says first
appeared in the Somerset Herald, on the sth of
June, 1852.
The policy of this measure was forced upon the
friend - sof the bill, by the fact that Mr. Darsie in
the Senate, had found it necessary, or at least
highly expedient in all the Supplemental Legisla
tion, for the Connellsville Railroad bills, to have
them introduced and defended by the members
from other counties; more to avoid the appearance
of these measures being local, instead of general,
as they truly were. Every one mutt see the force
of this, and the advantage the friends of the bill
would gdin in a decided democratic House, by having
it led oarlby arepresentative of so influential a dem
ocratic county. That this was their motive is di
rectly disclosed by their letter, and is well-known
t) all those interested at the time at Harrisburgh.
—9meriean of Saturday.
We have only room this morning for a brief, no
tice of the above extract from the American of
Saturday, referring to the letter of Messrs. Robin
son, Craig and Denny, which appeared in the Post
of the 27th. "Every one," says, the American,
must see the force of this, and "the advantage the
friends of the bill would gain in a decided Demo
cratic House, by having it led off by a Represen
tative of so influential a Democratic county."—
Last fall it will be recollected, the election of the
Democratic Assembly ticket was urged on the
ground that it would give "the friends of the bill"
an important "advantage in a decided Democratic
House" to have a delegation from this county who
could consistently act in harmony with the majori
and we now believe that if Col. S. W. BLACK and
'his colleagues on the ticket last fall had been elect
ed, the
,passage of an entirely acceptable right of
way bill would have been secured. If Col BLACK
and big colleagues had been elected it would cer
tainly-not :have been necessary to call upon Mr.
&mama., or any other member, to lead (IT in its
defence;—the delegation from Allegheny Would
have been found entirely equal to the task. 'Col.
BLACK. would have shown himself more than a
match for KUNKLE and BURNSIDE. '‘

was blown up on Friday evening, 12th, says, the

was broken in the immediate vicinity. The report
was heard, and the shock felt, many miles distant.

to his surprise he discovered that his messmate
was a female. On inquiry into this strange pro

She afterwards crossed the river to Louisville, and
her fellow soldiers raised a subscription to carry

CURIOSITY.
WESTERN UNIVERSITY
At a meeting of the "Roard;of Trustees of the
Western Unitersity of Pennsylvania, on 'Phut - Iday
the 25th inst. The President having officially,
announced the decease of the Rev. RoeEuT BUCCE,
D. D., who, from the organization of the Univer
sity, until his voluntary retirement's few years ago,
to preside over another seminary of learning, had
occupied the Chair of one of its 'most important
professorships, and for the greater portion of the
time in connection with the responsible office of
Principal.
It was unanimously resolved, that the Trustees
have heard with deep emotion the annunciation
of the decease of distinguished and learned divine
the Rev. Dr. Bares; and avail themselves of the
occasion of their first meeting since the occurrence
of that melancholy event, to record their testimo
ny to his characteristic purity; integrity, and mor
al worth as a man. and to his intellectual superi
ority and rare attainments as a scholar.

years, in consideration of the eminent services he
has rendered in his capacity of an lustructor of
youth, attested as they are by the numerous pu
pils to whom a grateful recollection of his urbani
ty, kindness and official fidelity, will ever endear
his memory. the Trustees cannot but record his
death, though in a ripe old age, as a loss of no or
dinary kind to the interests of Literature and Sci
ence.
Rrsolred, That a copy of these resolutions, at
tested by the President and Secretary of the Board,
be sent to the widow and family of the deceased.
with the respectful tender of the condolence of the
Trustees in the afflicting bereavement they have
been called to sustain: and that the same similarly
attested be published in the several newspapers of
this city. GEORGE VP VOLD, Presit.

A GIIIFIIIC •ND AWFUL SCENE AT THE LATE
Qv aex nat.—The following more circumstan
tial account, in part, of the late sad accident at
Quebec, is from the Quebec Mercury:
Ths Late Goland! y.—From inquiries made since
our last publication, we may confidently state that
the accident by which so many lives were lost on
Friday evening last, and the Theatre Royal St.
Lewis burnt to the giound, was the letting fall of
a camphine lamp, by the boy whose duty it was
to extinguish the lights placed among the side
scenes on the stage.
An attempt was made by the innocent cause of
the disaster, the boy, to extinguish the fire, we
are told, by Lieut Armstrong, of the I.4th Regiment,
who rushed upon the stage for the purpose, but in
rain.
We should state that, by this time, most of the
audience had retired, the remainder having held
back to escape the great rush, and reriro quietly
and in comfort. The smoke from the camphine
and burning canvass noon frightened them, and
produced a general confusion. The box entrance
having offered them admission, they thought to
escape the same way, and the stairs being some
what steep and narrow, the foremost were pitched
down headlong, and there jammed by others fall
ing upon them, until the passage became complete.
ly choked, and the unfortunate people inextricably
interlated, crushed and wedged in. One gentleman
with a lady in charge, foreseeing the slight chan
ces of escape afforded them, returned to the boxes
with his charge, although they were one-third of
the way down the stairs. When there, a bright
sheet of flame swept across from the stage to the
boxes, fanning with its burning glow their faces:
she shrieked and sprung from his grasp down the
stair, lie followed in the hope of rescuing her,
and crept over the heads of the writhing victims
then doomed toinevitable destruction.
He spoke to several on his way down, but could
not find his companion, who eventually perished
with the rest. He became senseless when about
to reach the landing place at the entrance, and was
dragged out by one of the few bystanders present.
Another gentleman who was pulled from the liv
ing mass rushed past us, and, so bewildered was
he, would have rushed into the flames, then burst
ing., through the adjoining pit dour, but for the
friendly interposition of a person near him.
To show the difficulty experienced by the few
who ventured themselves within the burning pre
mises in extracting their unhappy fellow citizen;,
we may mention that three persons, with this wri
ter had the unfortunate Mr. Devlin by the two arms,
who was standing erect and apparently encumbered
but by those who lay in various positions around
his feet, and who was within a foot of the edge
of the partition, a rubicon to be passed ere life
could be saved—and with is own exertions super
added, could not move him!
PENNSYLVANIA RAILHOAD.—The "Pennsylvani
an- of Thursday, speaking of the subscription to
the stock of the "Central Rail Road, - says:
~ T he cry is still they come." The confidence
created by the large results of the first two days
subscription to the stock of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, begins to tell wonderfully. As soon as the
commissioners assembled yesterday subscriptions
flocked in, and by 11 o'clock the amount received
was about equal to the entiresum realized the day
before. The entire subscription of the day will be
very large, but as the committees are out. the ac
tual sum is unknown. Every effort has been made
to create a panic; but the ice has been broken—the
monetary misrepresentations. so industriously cir
culated for many months, begin to explode, and
the parties imposed upon are ashamed of their past
delusion.
Among these falsehoods we may quote the pal
pable one "that unless the entire Road was fin.
fished the investments would be lost!' What'
is the fact? The State Railroad now extended to
Harrisburg, nets a revenue of 7} per cent. Had
the "Central" made its first link of 15 miles to the
Juniataove are assured by a State officer that it
would have saved $150,00 towards the August in
terest on the vast quantity of merchandize detained
by the canal breaches in March. Add to this,
the tolls that would have accrued to the Company,
the severe check given to the Spring sales of our
merchants, and the loss to their customers in hav
ing their goods carried by circuitous routes, via
New York, New Orleans, and Baltimore, and we
may have some idea of the importance of each link
in this great chain connecting us with the far west.
That it would be posilively profitable to the Com
pany, at an early stage, is not even a matter of
doubt for even before it can command a share of
the western travel, a gentleman at our elbow offers
to lease the first 15, 50, and then 50 miles, paying
as a rent, 6 per cent on the cost, and the carriage
of the Company's materials free of charge. We
have no time for amplification, but we trust these
few hints will induce each citizen to do his duty.
Let the wealthy man contribute his thousands—
the poor man his single share and the richest boon
ever conferred upon our city and our State will he
indubitably secured at an early period.

ticea the funeral obsequies of the veteran Editor
Mr. PENN. Take him for all in all, we shall not
soon look upon his like again:
Our lamented contemporary was followed to
his last, long sanctum, yesterday afternoon, by a
throng of sincere and deeply affected mourners.—
He was buried in the family cemetry of Capt. H,
Shreeve, four miles from the city. The Rev.
D. J. Boyle delivered a touching enlogium, and it
was echoed in the hearts of all present. Long
may . it be before we are again called upon to as
sistin the solemn ceremony which leaves a cheer
less hearth, aching hearts, and a void not soon to
be filled in the ranks of genius, and self-devotion.—
Shadrach Penn rests Tin the earth, and the breath
of his bitterest opponent would hardly be, expired
in aught but a thoughtful sigh above' his grave. 1

mates and speculations are published by Prof. C.

"Tbe•Mississippi River takesits rise in 'attitudes
48 deg. north, and discharges its waters into 'the
Gulf of ;Mexico in latitude 29:deg. 5 min.
"It flows through a channel 3000 miles long.—
Its course' is S., nearly 14'deg. V. Ink - width aver

as great.l is'64s yards wide - it -It
drains an area- of 300,000 square miles: Its
mean velocity at the surface for the year, opposite
Vidalia,: is 1.88 miles per hour. Its mean depth
per anuin across the entire channel, at the same
place, about GO feet. The Mean velocity is re
duced about 15 per cent. by' friction against the
bottom. The total amount of water discharged,
per annum, in cubic feet, is 8,002,118,040,000.
"The ,Delta of the Mississippi extends from the

11 These celebrated pills claim public confidence,
not only an account of what the proprietor may say
about them, but on account of the good resulting
from their use. Read the following statement from
citiien of Birmingham:—,
"
Birmingham, June 24th 1546
Mr. R. E. Sellers: I take this opportunity of testi
fying in favor of your invaluable medicine. About
two years ago I was taken 00W11 with severe inflame
lion of the liver; and was sti reduced by night sweats
and other effects of this dreaifful disease that my life
was disnaircd of. After other means had failed, I
was advised by my Physician to try your Liver Pills;
and I must say that after taking one box and a hayl
have been restored to reasonable health, which I en
joy at this time. I therefore take pleasure in recom
mending them to others afflicted with disease of the
liver. Yours respectfully,
JOHN GIVENER.
These Pills rand unequalled by any medicine
known for the cure of Liver Complaint, and may be
had of the proprietor, R. E. Sellers, 57 Wood street,

prodding severe pain, in the stomach for ten or twelve,
hours without intermission, - and-liaving tried various
remedies with little effect, was furnished with a bot
