FurilierNoike of Ja's Wilson's Death.
Corre.-pou b-n.-e .f tbe Leaisl'Urg Cbrouiele.l
Messks. I jiiToiis : In a late number
of tbe Chronicle there was a notice of the
death of Mr. James Wilson of Ilartle
ton, in which notice there occurred sever
al errors.
The deceased was in a wood, in compv
rty with four others, taking out light tim
ber for building a granary. It was eve
ning, and saying ho was tired, he sat
down on a log seven feet from a tree
which another of the party was engaged
in felling. Its top iu falling, caught be
tween two trees ; the ono on tbc farther
side, being nearest the stump, had the ef
fect of swinging the trunk around over
tbe seven feet iuterval. It struck tbe de
ceased on the abdomen, and knocked him
off the log on which be bad been sitting.
Excitement energized the arm of tbe in
nocent but unfortunate instrument of tbc
calamity, to that he raised the butt
(which afterward he was unable to move)
and the prostrated victim crept out.
Two of the party wero despatched to pre
pare a bed, procure medical and surgical
aid, ilc, and tbe remaining two, with the
suflcrcr'e arms around their necks, bore
him gently across two small fields, to tho
house of bis relative, Mr. Laird. The in-
jury was received about 5 P. M-, on Mon- !
day, 18th Oct., and ho lived until 11 P. j
M.. of the next day. The first ten hours
bis sufferings were terrible, but, through
all, there were no unmanly murmurings,
DO faltering fears, but patience, calmness,
and composure instead. Ho was fully i
aware of bis situation, and wished to see
his Father and Mother ouco more Be
lieving he could not live until their arri
val, he left messages of comfort for the
yearnings of their Christian hearts, and
assurances of unchanging affection. Amid
all bis bodily agonies, with tbe King of
Terrors staring him in the face, his filial
solicitude broke forth for the tenderness of
her who had borno him, in the desire
that "sbe would not fret too much for
bim." His la?t words, uttered a little 1
before the spirit fled, were, " it will soon
bo over, now."
The telegraphic despatch, though star
ted promptly, was not received by his pa
rents until the evening after his decease.
They set out within two hours, but being
delayed at every connection did not reach
the end of their sorrowful journey until
his frionds were returning from his funer
al on Friday eve. He had wished that
his remains might be taken to tho heme
of his youth, aud for this purpose a metal
lic cofiiu bad been procured. The body
was disinterred early on tho following
Monday, and tho grief-stricken parents
set out on their homeward way, with all
tbat was mortal of their beloved son.
They cauio via Lcwistown, tbence across
the country by privato conveyance, and
arrived at Hartleton on Tuesday, about 8
M. The appalling suddenness of tbe
'Eiction, tbe long, weary distance, from
lu nearest and dearest kindred made
Je Uio of sympathy fuller than is wont.

The recent unexampled defeat of
the President in Iiis own State, abun-
dantly demonstrates that it was only
by the blindness of State pride (with
the wicked division of his opponents)
that he was successful two years ago.
It had been as fully demonstrated as
a future career could bc.that he would
prove to be j'ust the tool of Slavery
that ho lias been. The disappointment
of intelligent and unbiassed minds is
less, now, than it was then.
We last week gave the full vote of
the Slate forjudge, showing 20,000
majority on a larger vote than for
Governor, when Packer had 11,000
i over both his onuonents. But this is

therefore the TRUE TEST of the
President with the People.
As a matter of general interest, wc
therefore give the Congressional vote
! of the several Districts, in order, by
countius, with comparisons, and some
notice of the new Members elect.

Sprngcl, St. K.X., had 74 votes.
Florence over liyau 331
Ryan, Spro. and Xeb. over Flor., 2085
Here is a clear majority of 2000
against the Administration, and yet a
friend of it is returned by a majority
which Mr.Ryan alleges he wiil prove
by due investigation was fraudulent.
Hundreds of voters were notoriously
coloni.ed in the Xavy Yard to help
Florence through. The moral power
of the District is against Buchanan.
II. Morris, Op. Martin, Ad.

Moiiris is one of the ablest of the

special efforts iu favor of his personal
friend Martin.

runs out Landy, who voted for both
the Leconipton and English bills, and
" Verily he has Lis reward."

Millward and Broom over Philips 3551
Millward was an American Mem
ber, four ycar3 ago-, but defeated in
1 856. 1 lis course in Congress was so
satisfactory to all shades of the Oppo
tion, that he was their nominee, last
fall, for Canal Commissioner. Broom
was once a Congressman, but has
been playing the "Straight" game till
he is himself "played out." Thillips
is the present Member, and proved an
adroit but unscrupulous Lccomptonitc.

"Wood is said to be a practical bus

to defeat by voting for Lecompton,
and a new man takes his place.
Philadelphia and Mongomery gave
Buchanan 1 1,000 majority. Now they
give S,000 against him.

and his brothers with other fricnils
turned their energies towards the do-1

due for the wonderful transformation j

The District borders about 130 miles
on the Maryland line, and is now
represented by Mr. Reilly, a popular,
smooth and fluent Lecompton lawyer.
Mr. M'Phkrsox, of Adams, is a well

Thus have we surveyed the field,
counted the sfam ot open or suspected
Lecomptonitcs, and noted the victori -
ous contestants. The greatest changes
have occurred in the Manufacturing,
Iron and Coal districts. The next
Pennsylvania Congressional Delega
tioa,we judge, will contain more than
a usual proportion of practical, common-sense
business mon from 20 to
23 Members who, acting together as
a band of brothers, will prove most
effective for good or for evil doubt-
less for good,

Will Mr. Buchanan resign? or, will
he change his policy ? only tho future

Tbe Locofocos, before election, falsely
asserted with the proof to tbe contrary
before them that John M. Read was with
them on the Tariff question (in favor of
the Tariff of 1846) and that he was nom
inated solely on account of his "Abolition
ism." If that were true, Pennsylvania
would seem to be "Abolitiouizod" to the
tune of 27,000, and we all shall have to
go to work to "save tie Union" again. ,
LE HARAIS DU CYGNE.
Tbe last and one of the most wantmi
and eruel murders of unargued aud uu jf
fending Free State men, iu Southern
Kansas, under the Bnrder ruth in sway,
was st the "Marais du Cygne" of early
French vnitjeurs. WurniER, iu tbe
Sept. No. of the Atlantic M intldy, makes
the following spirited aiiuaiou to tho act
and the place J
A blush as of roses
Where rose never grw !
Great drops on the buuch gruts,
But cut of the dew .'
A taint io the effect air
For wild bees t shun '.
A 8'ain tbat shall never
Bleach out in the sun I
Back, steed of tbe prairies '
Sweet song bird, liy back !
Wheel hither, bald vulture !
Gray wolf, call thy pack I
Tbe foul human vultmei
Have feasted and fL-1 ;
The wolves of the Border
Have crept fruui the dead.
From the hearths of their cabius,
The fields of their turn.
Unwarned and unwesp.tned,
The victims were torn,
By the whirlwind of murlcr
Swooped np and swept no
To the low, reedy feu lauds,
The Marsh of the Swan.
With a vain plea for mercy
No stout knee was crooked ;
la the mouths of the rifl.-s
Right manly they looked.
How paled tbe May sunshine,
llreen Marais du Cygne,
Tby lonely ravine 1
Io the homes of their rearing,
Yet warm with their lives,
Ye wait tbe dead ouiy,
Poor children and wives !
Put out the red forge fire,
The smith shall uot come j
Unyoke tbe brown oxcd,
The Dlon4jriw Jim JwaV.
Wind slow from the Swan's Marsh,
O dreary death-train,
With pressed lips as bloodless
As lips of the slain !
Kiss down the young eyelidi,
Smooth down the gray hairs ;
Let tears quench the curses
That burn through your prayers.
Strong man of the prairies,
Mourn bitter and wild !
Wail, deaolate woman !
Weep, fatherless child !
But the grain of God springs up
From ashes beneath.
And tbc crown of His harvest
Is life out of death.
Not in vain on the dial
Tbe shade moves along
To point the great Contrasts
Of right and of wrong :
Free homes and free altars
And fields of ripe food ;
The reeds of the Swan's Marh,
Whose bloom is of blood.
On the lintels oi Kansas
That blood shall not dry ;
Henceforth the Bad Angel
Shall harmless go by :
Henceforth to the sunset,
Unchecked on her way,
Shall Liberty follow
The march of the day.

There is a time when it is not only par
donable, but a duty, for I Lose engaged io

vocation of life, to mingle iu the staled
public exercises of youth in the halls of
science. Ail should manifest by their
actual presence the deep interest they have,
as guardians of our free institution?, iu the
proper training of the young, in moulding
in honor's path, for undying bliss, tho
ever-living mind. No one is so humblo
but that he may add something in the
countenanoe and support of the well doing
and continued efforts to excellence of those
who are to be the inheritors of our homes,
the occupiers of our country, tbe custodi
ans of its liberties, advancing power, and
enduring stability.
No one can mingle in the ranks of
