CLEARFIELD. PA., NOV. 30,1650.
WHAT IKE? INTEND TO DO.
It seems to be pretty generally conceded by
men of all parties, the way things now look,
that the Democracy will meet with a most sig
nal defeat in the approaching Presidential con
test. This the Democratic jwditiciuns know
and fee!, and it is not surprising, therefore, to
?e them casting alwnt to find some means of
averting the impending disaster. It the tone
of thbir Ifading presses can be taken as an in
dex, it is doubtless the intention cf the lead
erof that party to again raise the cry of 'dis
solution." with the hope of frightening the
masses to come to their aid. Already "these
patriotic gentlemen move about with well-
feigned uneasiness; their countenances drawn
out to an excruciating length, their eyes
Tolling wildly and fitfully in their sockets;
ani. in eflTi-ciifidential tones, telling their
acquaintances that danger is near at hand
that the American Union, that delicate and
fragile pi-ce of crockery which they love so
ardently, will certainly be broken and smashed
to pieces, and all its valuable contents, inclu
ding the treasury pap cn which they are now
luxuriating, will be spilled out and lost, if
'them 'orrid Black Republicans" get hold of
the affairs of the nation in 1SG0 that, with
such a pr!-ct before them, it is the duty of
all good citizens to "come to the rescue," and
assist in letaining those who now so tenderly
and carefully watch over and protect the brit
tle ware, which, they assert, is in much great
er hazard at this time than it has been since
the organization of the government. Some
persons may possibly believe them sincere;
we do not. It is mere pretence sheer gam
mon and humbug. This threat of "dissolving
the Union," is nothing more nor less than an
electioneering trick of designing men. If it
were not, would it always begot np just be
fore a Presidential election ? Might jl uot be
come a general cry at some other time And
would it be made invariably by the Democratic
party I Who ever heard of any ether party
threaten to "dissolve the Union ?" Does not
the threat come from the Southern fire-eatcis,
who act and vote with, and control the Demo
cratic party 1 We leave intelligent men to re
flect upon, and answer these questions for
themselvrs. YY lave it to them to decide
how much credence should be given to the
statements of the disunion shriekers to say,
if the prrmauency of the Union is endangered,
whether it is not the fault ol those who lead
the party which they call Democratic. Our
object in this article was simply to impress on
our readers the fact that the Locofoco leaders
are preparing to again raise the bug-bear cry
of "dissolution," with the hope of scaring
enough people into the support of their candi
dates to insure their success at the coming
Presidential election. '
Democratic Qiarterlt Review. We have
been favored with the first number of this pe
riodical, just commenced at Washington City
midt-r the editorial control of Hon. Thomas B
Florence. Its political views are of the most
thorough pro-slavery democratic stamp, and it
will doubtless be regarded as the exponent ol
the real principles of the party. It contains
several interesting sketches and notices of
men and events, a review of the San Juan
Question, an article on the Two Year' Amend
ment to the Constitution of Massachusetts,
the Outbreak at Harper's Ferry, &c, tec. It
contains nearly 200 pages, and is neatly print
ed on good paper. Price $3 a year.
We find that there is here and there a
eelf-styled Democratic editor who has fool
hardiness enough to still assert that oM John
Brown had "the aid, counsel and concurrence
" of most, and perhaps all the leading Black
" Republicans of the country," in his plan ol
insurrection at Harper's Ferry. We pity the
poor, miserable, debased creature who is giv
en to such bold, obvious and willful lying as
this. Lie must be farther gone into the ser
vice of the 0j,l gentleman with hoofs and
horns, thau we thought any one would venture
n this boasted christian !and of ours.

More Excitement. On Tuesday night, the
22d instant, about 9 o'clock, a tremendous ex
citement was caused by the firing of a gun, at
Uharlestown, Virginia. Women and children
were greatly frightened ; shatters were closed
and lights extinguished. A sentinel had mis
taken a cow for a man challenged her, and
the cowpaying uo attention to the challenge,
the sentinel fired npon her. Again, late at
night the residents of the village were startled
by the reports of three guns. A sentinel came
rushing into camp and reported that he had
challenged three men, who, instead of baiting,
fired ujron him. A search was set on foot,
but no "three men" could be found. It was
evident, however, that the "scare" was the
work of the soldiers, who take immense quan
tities of ardent spirits down to keep their chi
valrous spirits np. Major-General Taliaferro
has been directed to take command of all the
forces. AH is now quiet. John Brown is rep
resented as having "greatly changed during
the last several days, becoming quite repen
tant." It is not stated, however, of what be
is repentant. Four companies of artillery are
qnaiteredj in the Coiirt-IIonse, and Gover
nor Wise has ordered 500 additional troop to
le present at the execution of Brown on Fri
day next, 2d of December.
By the last overland mail we learn that the
celebrated pioneer and explorer, Christopher
Carson, died at Taos, New-Mexico, where he
resided as Indian Agent. Carson was born
in Madison co., K.y., at the close of 1809. His
father, shortly after that removed to Missouri,
where Kit, when 15. was apprenticed to a sad
dler he followed that business two years, at
the end of which he joined a trapping expedi
tion, and a trapper he remained, until his fa
maliarity with the great farWest rendered him
invaluable as a guide to explorers of thePIains,
For eight years he acted as hunter at Bent's
Fort. When Col. Fremom) engaged in his ex
pedition, Carson accompanied him, and was
ever alter his steadfast companion. In 1847
he received the rank of Lieutenant in the Rifle
corps. United States army. His latest and
most remarkable exploit on the Plains was en
acted in 1853, when he conducted a drove of
6.000 sdieep safely to California. But now he
has gone on his last and greatest journey.
Ecrope. By the Meatuer Circassian, at St.
John s on the 23d, we have foreign advices to
the 12th instant, fire days later than those by
the Canada. The treaties had been signed at
Zurich. Austria, it was said, had agreed to
take 102,000,000 francs from France instead of
104,000,000 demanded. France and Austria
agree to promote the meeling of the Congress,
it is stated that no formal proposition for a
Congress has been made to England. Tusca
ny, following the example of other States of
Central Italy, has conferred the Regency upon
Prince Carignan ; but the King of Sardinia,
under the pressure of France, refused to grant
Carignan permission" to accept the Regency.
It is reported that the Sultan of Moiocco has
empowered his brother to grant the demands
of Spain. It was feared that there would
be trouble between Russia and Japan, owing to
the murder ef three Russians by the Japanese.
We have later advices from Mexico. Minis
ter McLane arrived at Vera'Cruz on the 21st.
The report that Gen. Marquez had pronounc
ed in favor of Santa Anna is denied. Marquez
says he is using the money he seized upon and
took from the conducts to save the country
from the Yankees. He promises to return it.
Doblido had been defeated at Guanajuata with
heavy loss. Coboa had captured Oaj tea, and
the Liberals there bad disbanded. It is re
ported that the French will soon blockade Ve
ra Cruz, and that Miramon has proposed to
make a simultaneous attack upon the city.
From Texas we Iarn that thu Legislature
has authorized the Governor to call out all the
troops necessary for the protection of the fron
tier. Captain Ford hid been appointed com
mander of the troops, and had started out af
ter Cortiuas. The Brownsville affair had caus
ed great excitement, and volunteers were rap
idly organizing. Deputy-Sheriff Campbell had
leen released by Cortiuas. Brownsville, on
the 19th, was still closely besieged.
Another weak shepherd appears in the per
son of the Rev. Mr. Minor, of Killingly, Ct.,
who was attacked some time since and nearly
killed by Othaniel Russell, a returned Califor-
nian, who charged Minor with too great inti
macy with Mrs. Russell. Minor has confessed
his and the lady's guilt, and has left for parts
unknown, leaving a wfe, three or four chil
dien.and a disconsolate congregation at Chest
nut Hill village.
A terrible Prairie Fire swept over 15 miles
of Jasper county, Iowa, recently. The New

stable, stacks, and two horses ; the. orchard
and nursery of Mr. Newell; the stabling,
stacks and 300 bushels of corn belonging to
John Ilouk ; the barns and other property
ol A. W. McDonald, and an immense amount
of fencing.

Somerset Cocsty. Ou Sunday, the SOth of
October, two men named resjiectively Henry
Prittsand Eli Weinier, living together in Mil
ford township, left home tor the purpose, as
stated, of hunting hoop-poks. About noon
Pritts returned alone, alleging that Weinier
had strayed from him in the woods. Several
days elapsed, and Weimernot returning. search
was made for him in the woods, but he could
not be found. On the following Sunday, a
general search was made by the citizens, and
about noon the dead body of Weinier was
found in the woods some two or three miles
from his residence, with a bullet hole through
it. A gun which be had taken with him on
leaving home, was found on the body, adjusted
in a manner to convey the idea that he bad s-hot
himself; but as ipost mortem examination dis
closed the tact that the ball bad entered his
back, the Coroner's jury decided that he had
been shot by some one to them uuknown. Sus
picion pointed to Pritts, and be was accord
ingly arrested, as was also the wife of the
deceased. Upon examination, sufficient evi
dence was obtained to warrant the detention
ot l ruts as the murderer, and he is now in
jail awaiting trial for the crime. Since the
commitment of Pritts, the wife of Weinier
has made a confession, in which she says that
rntis told her he had killed her husband
His object seems to have leen that he might
marry the widow, as he has several time pro
posed to do, as well before as since the disap
pearance of Weinier. The deceased was aged
about 27 "ears, his wife, (a smart. good looking
del man woman.) is about the same age, while
Pritts is between oo and 60 vears old. Thev

BURNING MINE IN SCHUYLKILL CO.
This burning mine was first ignited in the
winterof 1838. " One of the watchmen placed a
light near a prop, which caught fire, ami soon
all the woodwork was in flames. From the
wood the fire was communicated to the co"al,
and since then has been burning incessantly.
How much coal has been consumed in '.his
score of years can only be conjectured but
certainly many thousands of tons have been
necessary to feed the devouring element. A
vein underneath that which is burning is now
worked. Several times the fire has leen com
municated to this vein, but it has always been
extinguished by filling the mine with water.
At present there are no signs ol fire in the
lower vein, and the miners work without any
difficulty or apparent fear. We cannot but
think, however, that the lalmr of digging coal
nearsix hundred feet below the earth's surface,
with a fire of twenty years' standing covering
acres ot ground, above their heads, was not
the most agreeable occupation in the world.
Corwin vs. Floyd. During tho administra
tion of President Fillmore. Mr. Corwin, Sec
retary' of the Treasuiy. received an anonymous
letter warning him that the Sub-Treasury at
Charleston, S. C, would be robbed. The
Secretary telegraphed lo the Sub-Treasurer at
Charleston, with instruct ions, and the room
or vault containing the public money as not
or.ly strengthened, but a guard w;is set, &c.
No attempt was made at robbery, probably
from the fact that precautionary measures were
taken. The anonymous letter to Secretary
Floyd, giving hini warning as to an attack on
Harper's Ferry, was well written and appeared
truthful; yet not the slightest notice was taken
of it, and one of the largest armories in the
country was taken and held for twenty-four
hours by some half-dozen Abolitionists ! Sec
retary Floyd was certainly guilty of dereliction
of duty in this matter, and it may be that
Congress will ask him for an explanation.
