Correspondence of the Jcffersonian Republican.
Easton, October 17, 1842.
Friend Schoch
Saturday was a great day for Easton. It
having been announced that Col. Richard M. John
son would pay our Borough a visit, early in the
afternoon the streets began to present a lively ap
pearance, and every thing gave token "that the old
veteran would receive .a warm and hearty wel
come. A large escort of citizens, In carriages,
proceeded to Bethlehem, where the Colonel dined,
and conducted him to this place. On the outskirts
of the? town they were joined by a Battalion of
Volunteers, composed of the Democratic Artille
rists, Lieutenant Winter, commanding, and the
National Guards, Lieut. Barnet, commanding,
Captain liceder having command of the Battalion.
At this point a large number of citizens also joined
the escort. The procession then moved oft' under
ihe command of Captain Yohe, who acted as
Chief Marshal. Col. Johnson was mounted on a
beautiful white charger, and made quite an im
posing appearance as he rode, uncovered, through
the town, receiving and returning the salutations
-of the ladies, who lined the windows of the hou
ses. His fine, large forehead, scarred with hon
orable wounds, his venerable gray head, and his
open and noble countenance, elicited the admira
tion of every one. After having moved through
she principal streets, the procession halted in front
of the Court House, where a platform had been
erected, and where James M. Porter, Esq. on be
half of the people bid the distinguished man, wel
conrcio Easton, in a neat and appropriate address.
The Colonel responded in a speech of twenty
minutes length, during which time he rivetted the
attention of his audience by a recital of some of
the .heroic scenes in which he was a prominent
actor. After the reception, he was conducted to
Mrs. White's Hotel, where apartments had been
prepared for him; and during the evening he was
called upon by hundreds of citizens from the town
and neighbouring country. At eleven o'clock, the
Easton Brass Band, gave him a Serenade, and
performed some of their most delightful pieces of
music. Yesterday morning he attended the Pres
byterian Church, and in the afternoon the Ger
man Reformed Church. This morning he leaves
for Wilkes-Barre, carrying with him the wishes
of our citizens that his life may be prolonged, and
that he may still do much good for his country.
On Saturday evening, we had a -splendid dis
juay of Fire Works, in the Square, under the di
rection of Jackson, from Philadelphia. To night
lie gives another exhibition. Yours, J. J.
Crotoii Celebration.
Tho introduction of the Croton water, into New
York, was celebrated with great splendour and
.rejoicing, on Friday last. Upwards of fifteen
thousand persons are estimated to have walked in
the grand civil and military procession. A num
ber of excellent speeches were'TOade on the occa
.sion, and every thing passed off in the happiest
manner.
WOOD! WOOD!! WOOD!!!
In order to accommodate such of our subscri
bcrs who are indebted to us, and cannot make it
convenient to pay, "wo are willing to receive, in
discharge of their subscription money, a lot of
good sound, dry wood. We trust that a number
of patrons will avail themselves of this opportuni
ty to square up their accounts, and whilst they
are about it we hope they will bring easy splitting
wood; not such crooKeu, Knotty stun tnai tne a

At "Belvidere, in Warren county, N. Jersey,
on Friday a week several persons narrowly es
caned death, or severe injury. In an attempt
to burst by gunpowder an iron shaft for a wa
ter wheel at the roundry ot U. r. lunyon, a
ball weighing twenty-eight pounds which had
been wedged into tho shaft, was thrown into
the village. It passed through several rooms
of Mr. Craig s hotel in which a number of pel
sons were sitting, coming within a few inches
of one lady who had just resumed her seat,
haying the minute before been standing in point
blank, ranee of the shot, which would certain!'
have dashed her to pieces. As it was, her
head was covered with dust and fragments of
tho shattered wall, and she was somewhat
stunned with the concussion tf tho air, which
was so great as to force out several panes of
glass from the window near her.
Pennsylvania Election.
We have not yet received full returns of the
Hate election in this State, but sufficient is known
10 insure the success of the loco locos. They
Jiave carried both houses of the Legislattre. In
the Senate their majority will probably bo three.
Jn the House it will be considerably less than last
par. We nope to be able in our next to give the
.official result.
A lady in Norwalk, Conn.-, says the Gaz6tle,
who has for some time past been suffering with
dropsy, a few days since submitted to the oper
ation of tapping, and the enormous quantity of
ten and a half gallons, equal to 84 pounds of
water, was taken from her. This, wo are in
brmed by one of the physicians who performed
the operation, is the largest quantity he ever
knew, during the many years he has been in
practice, to be taken from one person.
A Day's Work
A journeyman harness maker, in Wheeling,
Va , made eighteen horse collars on Friday last,
and finished them before sun down. If he is
not "a collar-man," we don't know who has a
right to be.
Paixban Gunnery.
A splendid exhibition of the powers of the
Paixhan gunnery, look place at Castle Garden,
New York, on tho llthinst. A target was
moored on the bay; the gun, carrying a 120
pound shot, fired with a noise more like the
bursting of a volcano than the discharge of a
cannon a cloud of smoke enveloped the fort,
and the immense mass of iron went bounding
along tho water, striking it in one case six
times, at each time throwing up amass of foam
as big as a house; a succession of brilliant pyr
amids. Dai. Chron.
IYortlsai5ton County.
The result of the recent election in Old North
ampton, has taught a certain unprincipled set of
would-be Dictators, a lesson which they will not
xoan forget. The Regularly nominated County
Ticket, with the exception of Commissioner and
Register, has been defeated. William Hackett,
has bc-jn elected Prothonotary, F. W. Muller,
Clerk of the Orphans' Court, and P. F. B. Schmid,
Rocorder all Volunteers. Well done, Old North
ampton. Give the would-be Dictators one more
such blow and they are dead forever.
Maryland Election.
The late election in Maryland, has resumed in
fevur -of the loco-focos. The Whigs have the
Senaie, but the majority on joint ballot will be
Jive for the locos. Local matters produced this
result.
New Jersey is all Rrgiti.
The Jersey Blues remain true to their principles.
The Whigs have carried a majority of both branch
es of the Legislature. Our majority in Council is
two, and in the House, 8. Last year the Council
vas a tie. All hail, steadfast New Jersey.

Import of Oil. During the month of Sep

oil; which is double the quantity received dur

From Washington Mail Carriers.
The Post Master General has issued an or
der, "That no person under the age of 16 years
be employed as a mail carrier on any post
rouie, or a clerk in any Post Office in tho Uni
ted States. The better to enforco this regula
tion, it is required that the ages of the carriers
and clerks be entered upon the oaths of offices
which they respectively take, before they are
transmitted by the Contractor or Post Master
to tho Department fur file. And the Special
Agents of tho Department will promptly report
all instances of non-compliance with this regulation."
S. AI. StillwcH, U. S. Alarshal, has gone to
Paris, and married a Miss Norsworthy, who
was an heiress, worth $100,000. As he took
the benefit of the bankrupt act before ho went,
and so stands clear of debt, he may consider
himself a rascally rich rascal. His office is
said to be worth $10,000 a year.
Good The St. Louis Organ says- "All of
our great men should be taught that they are
not whit better than mechanics, and should as
rigidly be required to earn their wages. It is
that public opinion, and public law, should com
pel officers of all kinds to do their duty as faith
fully, and as truly earn their wages as the man
who breaks rock for the macadamizingof streetj.
To obtain money without rendering a just and
full equivalent should no longer be countenanced
even in a Governor, Judge, Congressman, Le
gislator or Jail Contractor.
