Washington Cadets. Last Saturday, Feb ruary 2d, this new company of Infantry was lulv organized under the direction of Major S. C Patchin. J. O. Lorain was selected as Captain; Z. C. M'Cullough, 1st Lieut.; and John W. Bigler, 2d Lieutenant. There were i3 men, including officers and music, in uni form. They paraded through our streets, and made a fine display. The uniform is one of the finest we have ever seen. "Cathcart tries to Kill Himself. On last Monday morning, Peb. 4th, when Mr. Rich ards, the keeper of the jail in this place, en tered tho cell of John Cathcart, under sen tence ot death for the murder of his wife, he found him weltering in blood, and upon exam ination, discovered that he bad attempted to cut his throat. Mr. Richards immediately called In a physician, who dressed the wound. The weapon Cathcart used was a wrought-iron pike, perhaps two-and-a-half inches in length, which he had rubbed down to a keen edge on the two opposite sides. Tho wound is upon the front of the neck, immediately above the opening in the breast bone, and is dangerous though not fatal. It is probable that the co ngesting of the blood around the wound, as he Uy upon his back, prevented him from bleeding to death. The deed, he says, was committed about 2 o'clock in the morning. It is not known where he procured the spike. The Jailor had taken a similar one from him some days previous. Fatal Accidext. On Monday evening last, tho 4th inst., Mr. Daniel Ogden, of Lawrence township, was killed, while working in his coal bank about a milt south-east of town, by a rock which fell from the ceiling of the bank upon him. It seems he went to work after dinner, but did not return in tho evening as usual, though frequently remaining away till after dark. Fearing that something had hap pened," a couple of his" sons were sent to tho tank, and not receiving an answer to their re peated calls, tltey entered and by the light of the burning lamp which he had used, discov ered him prostrate and lifeless under the rock, which is 10 inches thick and S feet by 4 in dimensions. Help was procured from town, the rock removed, and tho body taken to the house. It is evident that ho was digging in a kneeling posture whea the accident occurred. and that the rock struck him on the back and shattered the spinal column. Mr. Ogden was biit fifty years of age, a quiet, peaceable man, and leaves a wife aud a number of chil dren to mourn his distressing death. Mis fam ily deserve the sympathy of the community. Fires is Cleae field Cor.vrv. Last Wed nesday, Jan. 30th, the large stone house, at the west end of Cunvensville, occupied by Mr. ffm. Bard, was destroyed by fire, with most of its contents, including a considerable quan tity of grain. The house belonged to Gen, Juhn Patton, but was not considered-of much value by him. The loss of Mr. Bard will prob ably exceed SG0O. The origin of the fire is not positively known. It is supposed, howev er, that burning fcoot from the chimnev fell upon the floor and ignited it. Wo regret to learn that on the night of the 30th, the valuable saw-mill of Benj. Tingling, Esq., located on the River, in Burnside town tnip, was also bnrned down. The mill had been in operation that day, and -it is conjec tured that the fire used then was blown about by the wind during the night, and caused the destruction of the building. The loss will probably be near $ 1,000. Ua Thursday eveningj 31st January, about o clock, an alarm of firp startled the citizens il oar own town, and on rushing into the Greets they discovered that the large dwelling touse of lion. G. R.

Eiror to the Court of Dyer and Terminer, Clearfield Co. Alter such prelude as usually accompanies an opinion of this kind, the Court comes to the specification of errors. Judge Strong says : Turning now to tho specific averments of error, the first which we notice is the allega tion that the jury were not properly sworn. Tho record, however, recites that they were "all sworn or affirmed respectively to try," &c. This ot course, raises the presumption that they were properly sworn or affirmed. No exception was taken to the mode of quali fication, and there is nothing before us indi cating any irregularity. Our paper-book, in deed, contains part of the opinion of the Court below upon the motion for a new trial, in which it is stated that the jury were sworn jointly and severally, but such an opinion is no part of the record, and it has often been held that the record cannot be corrected by it. Even if it could, the same opinion shows that no objection was made to the manner in which the oath or affirmation was administered. This assignment, therefore, points to no error of which we can take notice. Another specification of error is that the re cord does not show that the prisoner had counsel at the trial. It is based upon an al ledged presumption against the regularity of the proceedings a presumption directly op posite to that which we have shown to exist. It assumes that those rights of the prisoner were denied to him which tha record does not show affirmatively were granted. As well might it be assumed that the Court charged the jury erroneously, and the Commonwealth be required to prove that the charge was in all points correct even before it'is attacked. The right to be heard by himself a id coun sel, is doubtless a constitutional right, and if it had been denied, there would have been er ror, but we are not to presume that it was de nied because tho record does not exhibit the fact that it was recorded. There are many rights of an accused person, some constitu tional and others not. of which the record takes no notice, such as the right to compul sory process for witnesses, the right to call a witness or to cross-examine those of the prosecution, and the right to be heard by himself or counsel is one of them. The safe ty of the accused is not imperilled by the si lence of the record, for il any of these right be denied, there is an easy method of bring ing up on the record the fact of the denial. Another assignment of error is to the refus al of the Court to grant a new trial. It has so often been said that such a refusal is not as signable for error that we dismiss it without fLnher notice. An exception was also taken from tho Court below to the rejection of an offer by the de. lendant, to prove that he alw.iv3 had boon known and reputed among his neighbors as a kind-hearted man. This oiler the Court over ruled in the terms in which it was made, but accompanied its reiection by permission to show the character ot defendant tor peaceable ness and regularity of conduct, and of good leeungs towards the deceased in any otner aspect which had a proper relation to the sub ject matter of the prosecution. We cannot say that here was error. We do not discover that any right of the defendant was denied. The door was opened for him to show his rep utation for peaceableness, and for regularity of conduct, and for anything that tended to show the improbability of his having perpe trated the crime of which he was accused It was his peaceableness, his regularity of conduct, his quiet habits, his freedom from lawlessness that was assailed. All these he had full premission to defend, by adducing the opinion of his neighbors and his general reputation. Another assignment of error is "that tho In dictment is insufficient in law to sustain a con viction of murder in the first degree, in that it f.iilsto meet the constitutional requirement," the nature and cause of the accusation not be ing tully set forth. The indictment is in strict conformity with the requirements of the twentieth section ot the Act of March 31, 1800 (Penal Code), the Criminal Procedure Act. We do not think that act in conflict with the Constitutional provision that in all crimin el prosecutions the accused shall have a right to be informed of tho "nature and cause of the acensatiou ngainst him." An indictment must exhibit the "nature and cau.se of the accusation," that is, must set out the crime laid to the charge of the accused : but the mode in which the crime is committed, the in strument with which flie murder was effected, whether it was held in the right hand or the left, whether the wound was inflicted upon the head or the body, are entirely apart from the nature and cause of the accusation. There is no merit in this assignment. Another averment of the plaintiff in error is that the sentence was improperly pronounc ed, because the charge of the Court was ex cepted to, but was not filed until after judg ment was given. If there were anything in the exception it could avail him but little, for then it would be our duty to pass sentence. But there is nothing in it. Everything that was necessary to giving judgment was upon the record when sentence was pronounced. True, the charge was not there, but that was needed for review, not for sentence. It is due to the learned Judge of the Court below, to say that there were no written points presented to him at the trial, and he was not therefore under obligation to file his charge immediately on delivery, especially as the ex ceptions were in the usual form, and there was no request that he should reduce his whole opinion and charge as delivered to the jury to wiiting, at the time of the delivery of the same, and forthwith file it of record. The only remaining assignment of error is the eleventh. It is that the sentence is in definite, no time being fixed for its being car ried into effect, and no other person having legal authority to fix the time. This is cer tainly a novel exception to be taken at this late period in the history of the Common wealth. It would be out of place here to spend time in showing how the power to des ignate the time of execution is vested in the Governor. That it alwavs has been exercised by him is not denied, and it would not be difU cult to sljow that it has been rightfully exer cised. But that question is not on record. The matter for our consideration is whether a sentence of death which does not appoint a day for execution is a proper sentence. Uur act ot AS8emoiy oi tno 31st ot May, 1718, entitled "an act for the advancement of justice and more certain admisistration there of" enacted that whenever convictions snouia happen it should be lawful to give judgment "according to the manner, form and direction of the laws of that part of Great Britain, cal led England, in the like cases. 1 his provis ion was indeed liaraiy necessary, ior wmiotu it our Courts, being Common Law Courts, would have had that power unless restrained by statute. , . ; " The manner and form of giving judgment a ii u iiiuu iiv uu o f 3 England in 1718, in cases of conv iction for murder was precisely that which the Court of Oyer and Terminer adopted ; in this case. The convict was sentenced to death by hang ing, bnt the sentence did not fix tho time and place of execution. That such was the mode and form of pronouncing judgment in capital felonies appears from all the books. . Kaslalrs entres, 2 Hales, Pleas of the Crowni 399; Coke's entres 32 and 8 Burr, 1812. Nor was It changed by tho staute of 2'. fto. 2, c 37, which enacted that all persons found gnilty of a murder should bo executed on the next day but one alter sentence passed. See sec. 3 Burrows, 1812, Rex vs. King, et al.; decided in 1766. In that case it was said not to be usual at the Assizes to fix the day and place ot" execution. The judgment in this case was then strictly in accordance with the forms and requisites of the law. We have thus reviewed this entire record, and the con clusion to which we have come is, that it ex hibits no reason for reversing the judgment of the Court below. The judgment is affirmed. Justice Woodward read an opinion, dissent ing from the views of the majority of the Court. The Convention of States at Washinston.

Amongst the emblems at first suggested to be embraced in the coat of arms for the new Kingdom of South Carolina, was a rattlesnake at the root of a palmetto tree, in the act of making a spring. In view of the sympathy shown for the cause of South Caroli na and other rebellious States by the late Dem ocratic patty, it Is becoming quite common lo call it tho "Rattlesnake Democracy." This is ! a designation which will be very apt to stick The resolutions of the Democratic State Com mittee, which met at Ilamsburg last week, show that the managers of the party in this btate are determined to deserve the name. Our Pennsylvania rattlesnake organization, in those resolutions, are silent In regard to the conduct of the secessionists, but violent in their abuse of the North. Thev have no de nunciations for the repeated insults which have been given to the National flag in the South no condemnation of the robbery of public property by armed traitors no apol- ogy for inflicting on the country an adminis tration consisting of such conspirators as Cobb, r Ioyd, 1 hora9on and Thomae. On the contra ry they warmly sympathize with these abomi. nable traitors. Since they cannot rule the country, they have resolved to ruin it. But the people of the North will keep the.se rattle- scakes harmless, although they may rant and bluster tor a timo. Fort Scmter. The South Carolina Volun teers arc urgent for an attack ou Fort Sumter, and uov. 1'ickens has sent an aid to impress upon Col. Hayne the necessity of bringing bis protracted embassy to a close, and lormally demanding of the President its unconditional surrender. They cannot now retreat without dishonor, and nothing but the withdrawal of Major Anderson could relieve their false posi tion. As neither side cau consistently recede. a collision seems only to involve a question of time. Major Anderson must sooner or later be re-enforced, because his supplies will not last three months. Vessels drawing twelve feet of water and over can enter tho Beach Channel, and there are plenty of officers nnd volunteers ready to run the gauntlet of Morris Island and Fort Moultrie. The Star of the West approached within a mile of Sumter. and would have landed re-en lorcements but that it was supposed to have been in pojses eion of the Carolinians. Mr.Toucey's excuse for not ordering the Brooklyn in was unfoun ded. She entered in 18o8 easiiv. Grocnd Uoa Dat. February 2d was the celebrated "ground hog dav," which, accord ing to legend, fixes the question of an early or late Spring. The etory goes that on that day the ground hog or, as tho Yankees call it, woodchuck leaves his winter quarters and sailies forth to snuff" the air. If there is no sun to show him his shadow, he goes cautious ly aoout, ana win even venture to dig up a few roots, to-try the hardness of the soil as well as to tickle his palate a little, after his long hibernation But in doing this, should a glimmering of sunshine strike him sufficiently strong to mark his shadow on the ground, ho hies at onco to his hole, there" to hibernate ior six weeks as instinct teaches him that winter will certainly linger that much longer. Shonld there be no patches of sunshine to disturb Mr. woodchuck, he remains out, knowing that the reign ot Jack f rost will speedily-termi nate.

The Times of the 10th instant, alluding to Lord Palo)er8tons speech at the recent South ampton banquet, says: "The third topic dwelt upon by Lord Palmerston is the future, if, indeed, we may not say the actual disruption of the American Union. While Italy is con solidating, America is disintegrating. That privilege of a single entire nationality which Italy is shedding tears of blood to obtain, America is flinging recklessly away. The Southern States expected sympathy for their undertaking from the public opinion of this country. The tone of the press has done much to undeceive them, and if anything more Is re quired, they have the assurance of our disap probation from the person whose public sta tion gives the right, acd whose intuitive sym pathy with the feelings of the nation gives him the power better than any one to express its opinions."- , i TnE Japanese Embassy have at last reached Yeddo aud been safely landed.

THE TEUTH WELL SPOKEN. The following sensible solution of the diffi culties, which now disturb the neace and tiuiet of the whole country, we find in the Nashville, Tennessee, Democrat. The position taken by this patriotic editor stands la noble contrast witn that of the conductors ot the so-called Democratic journals of the North, who are doing all in their power to inflame the minds tue Southern people, by misrepresenting the sciiiimeuis mat prevail in their own section. The Democrat tells the truth to its readers with a view of allaying the sectional excitement which has been created by the vilest class of uemagogues for tho lowest of party purposes, " is neepiy to bo regretted that there are noi more men like 1-im in both sections of the country. He is right in maintaining that this uuoouu nas been brought about, not because of any expression on the part of the North, uui oecause a party which has monopolized and robbed the patronage of the government for many years, has been compelled to give np its hold on the public treasury. We quote irom me uemocrat: "f or many years the people have lived in peace and prosperity. The Liberty Bills had been in existence in many ol the States for many years before the passage of the Fugitive oiaye Law ; not one man m a hundred in Ten nessee knew that there was a liberty law in ex istence, till very recently. "Still the people of Tennessee prospered and were happy, under the general influence oi a iree Government. Thev have felt no in convenience from the existence of those laws. Bnt a presidential .election takes place, aud the men who have been so long in office that they claimed it as a right, see that they have to give np the fine fat places. They raise the cry, "'liberty bills! Liberty bills! The country is ruined ; break it up, destroy it ! Whv is all this to be done 1 Just because the office hold ers do not like to give up their offices to work they are too proud to beg they are ashamed. 'The laws of which we now hear so much complaint have existed for a series of years: these office-holders were very well satisfied to live under them as long as they could keep in office. But so soon as they are about to be displaced, and forced to work for an honest living, the cry is raised, destroy the country, aestroy tne country I "Why this haste ? Why shall everything be aone ana the country destroyed, before the 4th of March 7 It is to keep Lincoln from being inaugurated, so that these office-holders may still hold office. Freemen of Tennessee ! are you ready to see thTf best Government under heaven destroyed to keep- men in office 7 Which is of the raostjvalne to you this great and glorious .government, or the cjjice-seekers ana office-holders 1 Will you give up the coun try, plunge it into civil war just because yon could not elect the man of your choice to the if residency 7 ' Yancey ism, which Is but another name for treason against the government of the coun try, is making a hard struggle to break up and destroy this great governmeut, and plunge our peaceful and quiet people into bloody war. An indignant people will know how, when the time arrives, to treat such men. If they plunge the country into civil war, the people, who have to do the fighting, will know the guilty and wicked parties, and will be prepared to punish them as their crime merits. The freemen of Tennessee are not to be dragooned into a bloody war, to gratify a few wretchrd, blood-thirsty, disappointed office-seekers. We warn the people not to be influenced into precipitate action by wicked designers against tneir country's peace." Sale or a Railroad. On Tuesday. Jan 29th, in pursuance of a decree made by the Supreme Court, in October last, the Tyrone and Lock-Haven Railroad was sold at public auction, in I'hiladelptm. The road is abont fifty-six miles in length, including the branch or lateral road thereof, about two miles in length, and commences at Tyrone, in Blair counfy, where It intersects the Pennsylvania railroad, and extends from thence to Lock Ha ven, in Clinton county, wheie it connects with tho Sunbury ane Erie railroad. The lateral road extends from Milesburg to Bellefonte. in Centre county. The sale included the char tercd rights, reuts, tolls, rights of way, and ev ery thing necessary for the said road. The road was knocked down for the sum of $21,000 Mr. Philip M. Price, being the purchaser. Thk New Orleans Mint Seized. The U. S. Mint and Custom House at New Orleans were taken possession of on the 1st inst.. by the State authorities, Louisiana having passed i secession ordinance on the 26th Feb. Gen. Dix had given orders to the Adams Express company two weeks ago for $350,000 of the $389,000 of bullion and coin in the hands of the Sub-treasnrer, but the agent feigned some excuse for delay, and so the State authorities appropriated both mint and money. Tub Protection of Public Property. The President has at last wisely determined not to interfere further with the distribution of the necessary force to protect the public prop erty at Washington and elsewhere, but to leave those arrangements where they properly belong to the ar Department and Gen. Scott. Had that course boen adopted in the beginning, much diihculty would have been avoided. Admission, of Lansas. Kansas is at last in the Union.

TIOSTETTE'E'S STOM- -l-L ACn BITTERS.-The proprietors and Manufacturers of lIostettcr,s Celebrated Stomach Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy sicians and citizens generally of the United States, because tne article nas attained a reputation here tofore unknown. A few faots npon this point will speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser tion or blazoning puffory. The consumption of ilostetter's Stomach Bitters for the last year a mounted to over a half-million bottles, and from its manifest steady increase in times past, it is ev ident tnat during tne coming year tne consump tion will reach near one million bottles. This im mense amount could never have been sold but for the rare medicinal propertiescontained in the pre paration, and the sanction of the most prominent physicians in those sections of the country where the article is best known, who not only recommend the Ditters to their patients, but are ready at all times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all ca ses of stomachic derangements and the diseases re sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is destined to be as enduring as time itself Uostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a God send to regions where fever and ague and various other bilious complaints have counted their vic tims by hundreds. To be able to state confident ly tnat tne 'Bitters are a certain cure for tne Dys pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood, and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys tem, giving it that tone and energy indispensable for the restoration of health.
