CLEARFIELD, FA., .HAY 18, 1830.
Thk Cause of the War. After our last pa
per was issued, news came to hand that the
Austrian ia largo force had crossed the Tici
no and thus rendered the war in Europe cer
tain. As everything connected with this war
will bo matter of iutercst, and in order to a
correct understanding of the point at issue,
we will give a brief statement or the cause of
the war : Austria claims that she rightly
own& and controls Lonibardy and Tcnicc ; that
sdio has a right to control them as she sees fit;
that in order to do this she must maintain with
the several neighboring Italian States such an
influence as will render her Lombardo-Vcnc
tUn sovereignty safe. Therefore, she keeps a
partial military occupancy of tho central Ital
ian States, and virtually rules in all Italy
Sardinia is tho only large Italian province
which is an exception. There Austria has no
power, and tho policy of Sardinia, which is fa
vorable to the establishment of constitutional
governments in Italy, is hostile to that of Ans
tria, which tends to the maintenanco cf the
strictest military despotism. Sardinia, and
France sympathizing with her, on the contra
ry claim that the Austrian occupation of Italy
is injurious in its effects on the Italian States,
prevents the dcvclopemcnt of that country,
and is virtually in violation of the treaties and
compacts of 1815. They demand tho aban
donment of the Austrian occupation of Italy
aud the Sardinian frontier, and that Austria
shall cease to exercise any more control in I
talian affairs than the other great powers.
These demands Austria refuses to comply,
with, alleging that her policy in Italy is neces
sary to her own dependencies of Venice and
Lonibardy. These matters have been in con
troveisy for three years. France and Sardinia
proposed in 185G the consideration of this sub
ject by the Congress of the European powers.
Austria would not consent to this. Diploma
tic negotiations were carried on, however, be
tween France and Austria, but the difference
Las grown wider and wider the longer the dis
cussion has continued, until now they propose
to settle the whole affair by a resort to arms.
llos. Joiix JI. Botts, of Virginia, having
been assailed ot home for uttering sentiments
adverse to thoso generally entertained in tho
South, comes out boldly, republishes what he
has said on the slavery question heretofore,
and reaflirms what he has said respecting the
institution, 33 his opinion now. He regards
it in the abstract as a great calamity ; wishes
it had no existence ; but believes its tenden
cies to be to the elevation of the slaves in a
christian and civilized sense. He would not
have it interfered with where it already exists,
nor would he have it extended, lie disclaims
sympathy with abolitionists North and dis
unionists South. He maintains that thoso
who prefer to believe slavery a blessing, to be
consistent, should advocate the re-opening of
the slave trade, or any other measure that
would augment that traffic or increase the
blessing.
When Mr. Buchanan was running for the
Presidency, we were promised that he would
leave the institutions of Kansas in the Iiifhds
of her settlers ; that he would build a railroad
to the Pacific; that he would gladden the
home of the laborer, at least ia Pennsylvania,
by protection ; atid that he would guard tho
National gold with strict economy. What has
become of all these promised measures?
Kansas is still kept outside the door, because
she refuses slavery ; the first sod has not been
turned on the Pacific railroad ; the Pennsylva
nia laborer finds by the defeat of the Tariff,
that he has been duped ; and the expenditure
of tho public money has been doubled. All
the promises ho made to get office, bavo been
broken, and remain unfulfilled. Can any of
his friends tell why this is so ?
Tho official statement, just prepared for
publication, shows that Congress at the last
session appropriated tor legislative, executive,
civil and miscellaneous purposes, nearly Sll,
000,000 ; for the diplomatic and consular ser
vice, $1,MS,C00; for the Indian Dapartmcnt,
revolutionary, invalid and other pensions, up
wards of $3,250,000 j for army fortifications
and tho military academy, $15,210,000; for
the naval service, $10,527,000, and for tho
ocean mail steam service, $311,229 making
a total of $41,3G7,C99. In addition to this,
about $7,000,000 should be added for indefinite
appropriations, and to carry out the provisions
of pro-existing laws, including the collection
PX revenues from the customs.
A Teoaessee paper says that "Goggin, in
Virginia, 5s worrying Letcher to death with
tho proved charga of Abolition ogainst him,
and has thus taken tho nigger tnno out of his
month, while Bell (Opposition candidate for
Governor), in Kentucky, demands Congres
sional protection to Slavery in the Territories,
and that takes the nigger tune ont of Magoffin,
tho Democratic candidate." There must bo
some mistake about this. We have ccn it
stated somewhere that only the Northern fan
atics agitate the Slavery question.
There is a small division ia the democratic
3arty in Wisconsin, caused by preferences for
different men as candidates for Governor.
The factions are respectively known as Dog
iayites and anti Dog dayitcs.
TEE 0BEELIN CASES.
Sentence has been passed upon Bushnell and
Langston, the two Obcrlin men against whom
the Jndge and District-Attorney lor the North
ern District of Ohio have succeeded in ob
taining verdicts. Bushnell was sentenced to
GO days' imprisonment, a fine of $000, and the
costs of the trial.which must probably amount
to more than double that sura. Langston was
sentenced to a fine of $100, and fhe costs of
the trial. The Court also directed the Marshal,
in case he might, for any reason, consider the
Cleveland jail an insecure place for tho con
finement of the prisoners, to commit them to
such other jail cf the district as he might
see fit.
It is the intention of the counsel, now that
final judgment has been rendered in these ca
ses, to make a ucw application to the Supreme
Court of Ohio lor a writ of habeas corpus, the
objection upon which tho former application
was refused having now been removed. The
District-Attorney, in arguing a motion which
he made for the postponement of the other
cases till July, stated that he had received
notice to that ellcct, and gave as one reason
for the postponement which he requested, the
necessity ho would bo under of appearing bc
foro tho Supreme Court to resist that appli
cation. He also pleaded another duty, to which the
United States Government had directed him
to attend. Five of the witnesses oa whom he
relied tho parties, namely from whom the
rescue had been madhad been arrested un
der an indictment lound against them for
kidnapping. They must appear at Elyria on
the 17th instant to answer to that charge, and
he had received orders from Washington to
appear and defend them. Two other of his
Kentucky witnesses, the owner of tho slave
rescued, and the Clerk of the Court, by w hose
signature the power of attorney had been au
thenticated, had suddenly started off fur
Kentucky without giving him any notice of
thcirdeparturc. The counsel for the prisoners
strenuously resisted any contiuuance, and in
sisted ' on their right to an immediate trial,
especially such of them as were in custody ;
but the Judge granted the motion, and direc
ted a continuance of tho cases to the 12th of
July.
Gov. Wise ox Slavery. Governor Wise,
of Virginia, has recently written to an Ala
bama editor who, in a rash moment, put the
Governor's nanio up for President a letter
which fills nearly thirty closely printed col-unins,-iu
regard to the slavery controversy and
the exciting questions in reference to it which
are now exciting public attention. The ex
treme length of the letter will prevent its ecn-
errl perusal or republication ; but it is ncv
the less attracting considerable attention from
the characteristic ability displayed in it.
Some idea of its nature may b formed when
we state that Gov. Wise announces his oppo
sition to tho doctrine of non-intervculiou by
Congress with slavery in the Territories, which
has hitherto been advocated by the Democrat
ic party. He denounces the surrender by
Congress of its rights, and duties on that ques
tion ; and while he contends that Congress
cannot prohibit slavery in the Territories, he
claims that it is its right and duty to protect
it there against all unfriendly legislation. He
denies the authority of Territorial Legislature
to tax slaves, or in any way to prohibit slave
ry. His idea of Popular Sovereignty is, that
it can only be fully enjoyed at the moment
when State Constitutions arc formed, prepara
tory to admission into the Union, at which
time he supposes full dominion can bo exer
cised, in regard to slavery as well as all other
subjects. Ho contends that the Constitution
guaranties to slavery in the Territories all the
protection it requires, but that the power of
Congress to assist io securing such protection
should not be surrendered.
Damagisq Developments. Some of the
"Democratic" editors who sympathizo with
tho movement of the independent Democrats
of the State, are making expositions, and
promise more, cxtreme'ly damaging to "our
venerable President." Among them is the
editor of the Huntingdon CloLc, who in a late
number of his paper, says :
We have on file an interesting letter of At
torney General Black, written shortly after
Mr. Uuchanan took his seat as President
This letter denounces Democrats who favored
the sale of the public works as in leasmo with
tho "Know Nothings and Abolitionists," to
rob tho state and gave them to understand
that Mr. Luchanrm had determined to come
doven and proscribe such for daring to think
that the State would be better off if relieved
of the managment of the works. Some Dem
ocrats may think it impossible for a Prcsicetit
to stoop so low yet it is nevertheless true
that James Buchanan did turn Democrats out
of oflicc, and kept others out, because they
favored a sale, and appointed men to office
who had no other recommendation than that
they wcro opposed to the sale of the ditch.
Kissing. Wo advise all young men and
some old ones we know of to keep away from
Amity township, Berks county. There is no
real "amity" about it. A young man, who
has an appreciation of good things, kissed a
boautiful girl in that township tho other day,
and the young creature told her cross old pa,
who prosecuted the young man, and had him
fiaed $5. It's true, the girl said she didn't
want him to, but who believes that ? She
didn't think her father would bo so cruel.
But let all nice young men keep away from
Amity hereafter, and the girls will be willing
to pay five dollars for a kiss. Just try it.
Moke Exposures to be Made. A Wash
ington letter writer says that there are to
be new exposures of corruption in the exe
cutive departments at the next session of
Congress, of a character demand the im
peachment of high of officers of the govern
ment. Not only are taxes upon contracts, to
buy votes with, and tho gross peculations,
among the things to be exposed, but authoriz
ed violations of the sanctity of private cor
respondence. Documents sent home by a
W estern Senator were not delivered from the
Post Offices, and his private correspondence
was violated. Wo understand that the'-West-

THE ADULTEBATIOJT OF FOOD.
The subject of adulteration, as relates to
what w,e eat and drink, is attracting more than
ordinaay attention on both sides of the Atlan
tic. We have DOticed it again and again, and
sincerely trust that the attention of those im
mediately concerned, the consumers as well
as the sellers, will be sufficiently aroused to
induce tho adoption of some remedy. Ac
cording to the New York Knickerbocker, the
articles enumerated arc adulterated asollows :
In flour there is alum, bone dust, powdered
flints, and plaster of Paris ! In bread, besides
all these ingredients, there is chalk, pipe-clay,
carbonate of ammonia, sulphate of copper and
sulphate of zinc.
Sugar Wheat and potato flours, tapioca,
starch, water, lead, irou, and chalk, pipe-clay,
plaster of Paris.
Coflee Chicory, roasted wheat, rye, and
potato flour, roasted beans, mangel wurzel,
acorns, burnt sugar.
Cocoa rfwl Chocolate Maranta, East India
and Tahiti arrow root, Tons les raois; the
flour of wheat, corn, sago, potato, and tapica ;
sugar, chicory, cocoa husks, Venetian led,
red ochre, lard, tallow, mutton snet.
Tea Exhausted tea leaves, leaves of the
horse chesnut, sycamore, plum, beech, plane,
elm, poplar, wiliow, etc. ; lye-tea, sand, starch,
blaek lead, gum, indigo, Prussian blue, turme
ric, Chinese yellow, China clay, soapstone,
rose pink, Dutch pink, Chrome yellow, Vene
tian red, carbonate and arsnitc of copper
chromatc and bi-chromato of potash, carbon
ates of lime and magnesia.
Pickles Salts of copper.
Honey Flour, cane-3ugar,chalk, pipo-clay.
Lard l'otalo-llour.water, mutton suet, salt,
carbonate of soda, caustic lime, alum, potash.
Vinegar Watcr,burnt sugar,sulphuric acid.
The above is indeed a startling list, and sick
ness and death are concealed in a variety of
tempting forms. Is it not possible to estab
lish some system by which? the wholesale adul
teration of food and drink shall be abolished ?
Our medical authorities should take tho mat
ter in hand, and make such an exposition as
could not but arouso public attention to such
a degree as to induce some salutary change.

Important and Stirring TSeTvs The War acta,
ally wjv.nl
Tho steamer n cser from Bremen and tho
Borussia from Hamburg, arrived at New York
on the 15th, with important European news,
The news by this arrival shows that the war
has actually commenced, and that a battle has
been fought between the Austrian aud Sar
dinian forces.
The latest accounts from the seat of hostili
ties indicate that there was a sharp action at
the famous bridge at Buffldora, crossing the
river Ticino, on Thursday, tho 28th ult. It
was reported that tho Austrians, after consid
erable loss, took the bridge at the point oi the
bayonet. It wes reported also that Mortara
ad been taken. This city is the capital o
the province ot Lewellina, on the river Arlo-
gua, only some 25 miles from Alessandria.
The Sardinians arc reported to have relat
ed from BuU'alota and Mortara, before the
Austrians, to a point near Lake 3laggiore, but
as the telegraph lines had been cut to Stvitz
crland by the Austrians, authentic accounts
had not come to hand when the steamers sailed.
Austrian troops were concentrating in great
masses at Piaccnza, capital of tho province of
that name, thirty six miles from Parma, and
near the river Po.
Forty-thousand French troops were inGenoa
at the latest advices.
The King of Sardinia, accompanied by Gen
erals Canrobert and Niel, of the French army,
had visited the line of the river Dura, an im
portant tributary of tho Po, one branch of
which ioins that river near Tura.
The Austrians on reaching Lake Maggiore
are reported to have seized all the Sardinian
vessels on its waters.
Austria is endeavoring to raise a loan of
.20,000,000 sterling.
The Emperor Napoleon was expected to
join the French army on tho 3d inst.
The Prussian government had resolved to
put the Prussian army in readiness to march.
The note of preparation for war was sound
ing in England. A royal decree has been is
sued, offering a bounty of "10 to seamen, with
the intention of recruiting ten thousaud addi
tional men. There was also great activity in
tho docK yards, and England is evidently pre
paring for war. ';.--'
A great number cf failures were reported in
tho London Stock exchange.
France refused tho proffered mediation of
England for the reason that alter accepting
Russia's proposal for holding a congress it
would be an insult to the latter.
The American clipper shtp Panama, which
sailed from Liverpool on the 27th ult., was,
(33 reported per Adelaide.) wrecked off Wex
ford on tho 28th, and, sad to say, no less than
3SG lives were lost.
Ckime HtArED upon Crime. A man named
Charles Doderlinc was arrested, a few days
since, at West Troy, upon suspicion of being
a fugitive from justice. First, he is charged
with stealing $300 from a gentleman in Spring
field. Second, obtaining, under false preten
ces, about $300 worth of leather from a firm
in Boston. Third, marrying a woman in
Springfield, and subsequently deserting her.
Fourth, adultery, in marrying a second wifo
in Boston. Fifth, bigamy,in having two-wives
and marrying the third in New York. Sixth,
bigamy, in marrying a fourth wife in Penn
sylvania. Seventh, bigamy in taking to him
self another wife at Fall Kiver. With the lat
ter be remained only one 'day, for he became
frightened, fearing the officers wcro afterjiim,
when he fled to the sea coast, and finally wan
dered up the river. lie is about thirty-five
years of ago, of quito ordinary appearance,
and looks like a persou not inclined to tax
his physical abilities beyond a lazy man's
usual exertions.
The Tribune correspondent says it may now
be regarded as settled that while Mr. Crawford
is Judge, no member of Congress can be con
victed of a criminal offence in Washington.
It was this venerable and much respected
jurist who tried Brooks for his assault upon
Esiimner, and Herbert ler tho murder of the
J waiter Keiting.

Centre Couxir. Oa Wednesday, the 4th
inst., Burnside township, was visited by one
of the most destructive fires that has ever oc
curred in that vicinity, or indeed in tho coun
ty. The Sterling Saw Mills, belonging to
Messrs. Smith, Khodes & Smith, with the
store, dwellings and tenant houses attached,
were entirely consumed. So rapid were the
flames, that it was impossible to save either
furniture or articles of wearing apparel, while
several children belonging to the families of
those attached to the mill, narrow! escaped
with their lives. The fire originated in one
of the tenant houses, from a stovepipe that
passed through the roof. At the time, the
men employed about the mill, were engaged
in rafting at tho river, a considerable distance
from the scene of conflagration, and a very
strong wind prevailing just then, before they
could reach the fire, its headway was such as to
baffle all efforts to arrest its destructive pro
gress. The mill was very valuable, and is
entirely consumed while the destruction of
the houses left the families of the workmen
engaged, without shelter, and for the time,
almost without provision. . . . Dr. Deshler,
assisted by Drs. Smith and Hillibish, amputa
ted the limb of Miss Elizabeth Moycr, of Aa
ronsbtirg, about four inches above the ancle
joint on the 2d inst. A dislocation of the
anele about seventeen years ago, made ampu
tation necessary.
Dauphin County. Two barns attached to
theStato Luuatic Asylum near Harrisburg,
were burnt on the night of tho 12th, together
with their contents. Four horses were burnt
to death, and the wagons, mowers and reapers
of the establishment were destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $4,000. Two tenant hou
ses adjoining, were also considerably damag
ed. Martin neury Wolf, formerly au inmate
of the hospital, has been arrested and com
mitted to jail on the suspicion of having set
lire to the property. Another fire occurred at
2 o'clock next morning. The barn attached
to the Dauphin County Poor House, about a
mile from Ilarrisburg, was destroyed together
with the contents : 25 tons of hay, 100 bushels
of rye, and other products of the farm. Four
mules, Eve horses and sixteen homed cattle
were burned to death. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 to 5,000, and it is supposed both fires
were caused by the same individual (Wolf),
as he escaped that day from the Poor House.
Blair County. The scarlet fever continues
to prevail in Hollidaysburg. ... Johnston Mc
Kcc and Edward McCabe were taken to the
Western Penitentiary, by Sheriir Funk, on
the 9th inst. ... A petition was presented to
Court praying for the erection of a new town
ship, to bo called Bell, by cutting Antes
township in two. . . . Mr. James Mathers, an
old citizen of the "Loop," died suddenly as
it is supposed, of apploplexy, on the Gth inst.
... An attempt was made on the Sth to poison
a couple hcrses belonging to Mr. Samuel
Smith in Scotch Valley. ... A stabbing affray
occurred on Sunday the 8th, four miles this
side of Altoona. Two young men named
Eckcr and Smith were the participants, and a
young lady was the cause of the quarrel.
Smith stabbed Ecker with a knife, but the
wound is not considered fatal. The former
was arrested and committed to be tried for
assault with intent to kill.
Armstrong county. Vn the t in inst., a
man named John Mott, of Kiitanuing, was
arrested on a charge of murdering his mother,
whose body was found floating in tho Alleghe
ny llivcr, some- ten miles below .that place, a
tew days before. I he evidence is strong a-
gainst the man, who would get drunk and
beat his mother. . . . On the night of the 7th,
a house belonging to Thomas II. Caldwell,
about eight miles from Kittanning, was des
troyed by fire. The house was a new frame,
and Mr. 0. intended moving into it in a few
days. Loss about $500 to SG00.
Greene County. Mrs. Lemley, wife of
Jacob Lemley, proprietor of the Hamilton
House, Waynesburg, two sisters of Mr. Lem
ley, and a servant girl by tho name of Stro
snidcr, were very seriously poisoned last week
by arsenic having been put in the well bucket.
Dr. Wishart was immediately called, admin
istered emetics which produced tho desired
vomits, the analyzation f which leave no
doubt but that arsenic had been thrown in the
well bucket by some maliciousperson unknown
to the parties.
Westmoreland County. Eugino Warfield
has been committed to answer for robbing
Leopold Fortwingle's jewelry store. He is
represented as a desperate villain. A pocket
book iv as taken from Jacob Ilocke's store, in
Grecnsbnrg, on the 5th, it contained one hun

Cuester County. Mary Dowerman, a wo
man about seventy years of age, was lound
dead, in the woods in East Vincent, recently.
A coroner's inquest was held, and the jury
rendered a verdict that she crrae to her death
from causes to them unknown.
Science of Modern Warfare. Tho war
in Europe, once fairly in motion, will beat
anything yet recorded in the destruction of
human life. Science has been at work in
gcttiug up guns that kill at any distance, and
with unerring certainty. And now tho cele
brated chemist Dr. Lardner writes to tho
London Times, describing a compound called
fn chemistry by the not very euphonious name,
"kakodylcs' of which arsenic is one of the
constituents, which, on exploding, not only
diffuses exhalations which render the sur
rounding atmosphere so ftvtid as to be abso
lutely insufferable in respiration, but imparts
to it also qualities which aro poisonous in the
most deadly degree. These compounds being
eminently volatile, explode spontaneously
when exposed to the air. In burning the me
tallic arsenic, one of their constituents, com
bining with the oxygen of theair.forms fumes
of white arsenic, which,being diffused through
the surrounding air, kills all who breathe it.
If these agents aro introduced, war will be
come a dangerous amusement. And when
defeat means annihilation, nations will be un
willing to risk a conflict.
