Xo New Teial to Cathcart. We publish
jo aaotber column the decision of the Supreme
Court in tho Cathcart case, by which it will bo
seen that the Judgment of the Court below is
affirmed. This seals the fate of the unfortu
nate man. It now' devolves on the Governor
to issue a death-warrant fixing the day of ex
ecution. Fixqebs Broken. Last Thursday, Ellis Ir
win, Esq., of Goshen township, was coming to
town in a sleigh, and leading a colt with a hal
ter. 'When coming down the hill beyond Jas.
Irwin's, the eoit Lulled suddenly at some ice
in the road, and jerking the haltcr-strap thro'
his right hand, the end of the strap lapped a
round the two outer fingers and fractured them
between the first and second joints.
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

il oar own town, and on rushing into the
Greets they discovered that the large dwelling

DECISION OF THE SUP3EME COURT.
Cathcart vs. The Commonwealth. 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.

ing from the views of the majority of the Court.

Xkw Name. 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.

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

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

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. The Houso on the 23th accepted
the Senate's amendment creating a judicial
aistnct, thinking it better than to run the risk
of returning the bill. The vote stood 119 to
42, the Southern members generally voting
against admission. . '

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. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
or tne tunctions ot natnre.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per

stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating
to tbe bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidence of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physicians.
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. There are certain pe
riods when their cares are soharrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender,- that tbe
mother, especially if she be younsr, is apt to for
get her own health in the extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, tho wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Hero, then, is a
necessity for-a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up unaer ner exuaustmg trials and responsibili
ties. Nursinff mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invieorators that receive the en
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to tbe taste as well as certain to give a permanent
increase of bodily strength. v
All those persons, to whom we have particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de
rangements of the stomach, superannated inval
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical welfare
by giving to ilostettef'a Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
Caution. We caution tho public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for HostettersCrihrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters'1 blown on tbe side of the bottle,'
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature it on tb
label. EHPrcpared and sold by Ho stetter $ Smith,
