The result of the recent election in this State,
clearly shows, that if our friends had been active
in our strong-holds, we would have carried both
branches of the Legislature by handsome majori
ties, and thus secured the election of a Whig U.
S. Senator, in the place of James Buchanan,
whose term of office expires on the 4th of March
next. We carried several counties which hereto
fore always were strongly against us, as Cumber
land, Lehigh, &c; and had the Whigs in those
counties where we have undoubted majorities,
stood fast to their principles, our triumph would
have been complete. w We lost no less than thir
teen representatives, in the following counties,
which in a warmly contested election give us large
majorities Dauphin, 1 Chester, 1 Union, Mif
flin, and Juniatta, 3 Adams, 2 Bedford, 1
"Franklin, 1 Allegheny, 1 Butler, 1 Mercer 2.
"Wc have also lost three Senators, one in Chester,
Delaware, and Montgomery, one in Lancaster and
York, and one in Miflln, Juniatta, Huntingdon,
and Perry, which with the least, turn out on the
part of our friends, might have been secured.
"With all these losses the majority of the locos on
joint-ballot, will be but twenty-five. The follow
ing, we believe', will be the relative strength of
patties in the House and Senate.

Victory, thus, was within our grasp, but we let
the opportunity for securing it pass by unimproved.
f we ;tre not greatly mistaken, we will have
cause, long and deeply to deplore our supineness
and negligence. Wc not only lose the chance of
gaining a Whig U. S. Senator, but must submit
to any kind of apportioning which our opponents
may make the State into districts for electing
Members of Congress and Members of the State
Legislature.
A ITIail Kobbcr Caught.
An individual of the name of Solomon Bach
man, was arrested at Easton, one day last week,
on the charge of having robbed the U. S. Ma.il,
(which he lately carried between Cherryville and
Bethlehem, in Northampton county) of several
letters containing large sums ol money. He was
taken before Jacob Weygandt, Esq., for examin
ation, and among other money found upon him,
was a Si 00 note of the Northampton Bank, the
identical money which had been abstracted from
one of the letters. He was committed, and has
since been sent to Philadelphia to receive his tri
al in the District Court of the U. Stales. Mr.
"Wentz, late Post Master at Cherryville, was ar
rested some time back on suspicion of having been
uilty of the same offence, and was held to bail to
: nswer the charge. He was also removed from
his office by the Post Master General. This sec
ond arrest goes fully to establish his innocence,
an.l must be highly gratifying to him, and hisnu
nierous friends.
The Weather.
The weather this fall has been uncommonly fine
and pleasant. "There has not been a season for
many years past, during which there were as ma
r.y delightful and charming days. The appear
ance of our trees and forests, however, now begin
t.) look as if winter was rapidly approaching, and
the early user may see the fields, hills, and house
tops clothed in white nearly every morning.
Am Arrest.
Joe Smith, the great Mormon Prophet, has been
nrrested'at Carthage, Missouri, and is to be taken
to Illinois, on a requisition from the Governor of
that State, to stand his trial for villainous conduct,
alledged to have been comrritted by him, among
liis brethren and sisters in the faith, previous to
his flight. When he left Nauvoo, (the Mormon
settlement) he gave out that he had received or
ders in a vision, to repair to England," and that he
would return and vindicate his character as soon
as he had fulfilled his mission. The vigilance of
the Western Police Officers, however, saved him
the trouble and expense of a trip across the At
lantic,
The Presidency.
A number of the most influential Loco Foco
papers in South Carolina, have hoisted the name
f John C. Calhoun, for President, in 1844, "not
subject to the decision of a national Convention."
The "great nvlUfier" is a tall man in his own

A fcquirrel hunt came off at Oneida caste,

17 hunters on each side, and at night they
brought in the bodies if 2,50.0j?squirrels, 20
trows, and 10 owls.
A Removal.
It is rumoured, in Philadelphia, that John C.
Montgomery, Esq., the able and .efficient Post
Master, of that City, (who wasappointcd by Gen.
Harrison) is shortly to be removed, and Richard
Vaux, a thorough-going loco-foco to be put in his
place. Nothing is too despicable for the traitor
Tyler!
More Removals.
During the past week some mere Whigs have
been removed from Clerkships, &c. in the Custom
House, at Philadelphia. The traitor Tyler, has
gone over to the locos body and soul. We wish
them much joy in their acquisition of his Acci-dency.
A Consolation.
The Editor of the Harrisburg Telegraph con
soles himself with the reflection, that if Miller's
prophecy, that the end of the world will take place
next spring, turns out to be true, the people of the
United States will be saved from two years of
John Tyler's mal-administration !
Zoological Exhibition.
Mr. William Hubble, & Co. will exhibit thejr
rare and extensive collection of wild beasts, and
birds, in this Borough, on Friday next. All, who
are fond of natural curiosities, will no doubt avail
themselves of this opportunity of looking at the
largest and finest collection of Animals, &c. in
the United Stales.
Orders have been received at Carlisle from
the War Department to abolish the military

The Buffalo Mercurv says that the ague has

Verdict Against the United States.
United States vs. Asa Andrews, and Georgo
W. Heard and Joseph Farley, his sureties.
This was a suit on a treasury transcript for a
balance of account against Andrews, a collec
tor of the port of Tpswich. The defendant was
appointed by General Washington, and was re
moved in 1820, he then having a balance in his
hands. In 1839, suit was commenced, and the
defendant in effect proved various charges for
office rent, postage, deputy collector's fees,&c;
but Judge Davis, in the District Court, held
these charges to be matters of law, and did not
allow them to go to the jury, and thereupon the
jury gave a verdict of SI 100 for the Govern
ment. On this result, the defendant brought a
writ of error to the Circuit Court, and a new
trial was ordered and the charges in offset be
ing proved, the jury yesterday gave a verdict
of $1900 for the defendant. Boston Post.
The Bedford (Pa.) Inquirer states that a dro
ver, returning from the East, was robbed, a da)'
or two since, on the Core Mountain, by a high
wayman, who presented a pistol, and deman
ded his money. He had about S2000 in a belt
round his person, and about $25 in his pocket
book. The latter sum he handed to the robber,
who, declining to search him farther, rery cool
ly pocketed it and started off whistling.

Squirrels, and a Sign of a Hard Win
ter. The Detroit Advertiser says a squirrel hunt
took place near that city last week, Thursday.
The total killed was 3,360. Other papers no
tice like wholesale slaughters. The squirrels
seem to abound this fall in unusual profusion
all over the country. For some weeks past
the woods in the neighborhood of Fort Erie,
across the river, have been literally swarmed
with them. Within the past week or two, they
have crossed the Niagara to this side in im
mense numbers. The rapidity and width of
the river have, of course, proved fatal to many
of them; but little armies of them have, never
theless, succeeded in gaining our shore, whence
they pushed off South. Oti the Alleghany riv
er, we are told, they are so numerous, that it
is not deemed worth while to waste powder
and shot in killing them. Those wishing a
squirrel pie, stand p-n the bank of the stream,
and knock the little "varmints', on the head
with a stick as thpy swim across. .This appa
rent general emigration of the squirrels to the
South is held by the Indians, and others know
ing such matters, 10 betoken a hard winter.

Extensive Fire at Liverpool.
Liverpool, Friday Morning.
A fire, the most extensive and destructive
that has occurred in this town for years past,
broke out about 3 o'clock this morning in a paint
manufactory and oil warehouse in Paisley
street, which is a small street leading from
Great Howard street to Bath street. It is sur
rounded bv warehouses and sheds used for
bonded goods, and filled with produce to the
top. From the inflammable nature of the ma
terials, and a stiff breeze from the N. W. blow
ing at the time, the fire spread with inconceiv
able rapidity, extending up to the front of Great
Howard street, and across Fornby street, and
up to Nentune street, coverins an extent of two
acres of ground. Up to half-past 9 o'clock, fil-.
teen warehouses of the first class, most ol litem
five stories high, and about thes'anie number of
bonded sheds, of similar dimensions, had been
burnt, and the fire was still unchecked, being
greatly favored by the blowing. We regret to
state that the dreadful occurrence has been at
tended with several casualties and the loss of
some lives. One of the most active of the fire
brigade perished by the falling of the gable-end
of a warehouse, which, with all the burning
mass it contained, fell outwards into Fornby
street, and buried him beneath it. At the same
time, many persons working in the sheds on
the'opposite side of the street, were grievously-
injured by the falling of the front wall of the
1 r- r t
warenouse opposite. some ol tnein were
speedily got out and carried to the hospital
two of them, we believe, are in a hopeless state
Among the rest, a police officer named Hodg
son was buried under a fallen wall, and an in
spector named Reding had his leg broken.
The loss of cotton, our correspondent says,
is 50,000 bales. It is estimated that 15,000
barrels of turpentine have been consumed by
the fire, besides a large quantity of produce of
various other descriptions.
Wesubjoin a list of the various sums the In
surance offices are said to have suffered by this
calamity; but, of course, wo cannot pledge our
selves for its accuracy: The Sun, "30,000;
Globe, 35,000; West of England, 10,000;
London, 30,000; Liverpool, 25,000; Phoe
nix, 40,000; Royal Exchange, 50,000; Man
chester, 30,000; Imperial, 20,000.
At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 24tli, in
surance on the properly destroyed, was found
to be 350,000.
The following is. an account of the buildings
destroyed, furnished by Mr. Samuel Holme:
Four warehouses (Gray's) burnt; one do. (Tay
lor's) do, two do. (Reyner) do; two do.
(Poole's) do; four do. (Maw's) do; one do. (Ro
gers's) fire proof, partially on fire, but subse
quently extinguished; two do. (Reyner's) south
burnt; one shed (Reyner's) do; two sheds

(McKnighl's), west of the above, do; Taylor's
Cooperage, Molyneax's lumber yard, cart hou
ses, stables, a row of sixteen houses, and a
large mass of property of various descriptions
burnt.
The whole is assessed at an annual value of
3,500. Tbe value of the buildings, exclusive
of the land, probably from 35,000. to 40,000.
The properly which they contained, may be os
timaiod at tho value of 300,000. to 400,000.
The principal contents were cotton, turpen
tine, flour. &e. The brokers can add up to
35,000 bales, but there must he more. The
following is an estimate: 250,000. in cotton
150,000. in other goods 35,000. in build
ings; total, 435,000.

CoiasiJioEB Carriers.
A case was tried before the Superior Court
at New Haven on Saturday last, growing out
of '.he destruction of the steamboat Lexington.
Warner E. Hale sued the owners of the Lex
ington (the New Jersey Steam Transportation
Company) for damages on account of the Ios3
of two carriages which he had shipped on board
the steamer, and the value of which he estima
ted at $500. Chief Justice Williams charged
in favor of the plaintiff, and a verdict of S450
for plaintiff was tendered. The Judge, in his
charge, held that common carriers were liable
for all losses, except by the act of God or of
public enemies, and that a contract stipulating
against pariicular risks is void.
Monroe Edwards.
The New York Herald says,
"Yesterday morning as Col. Jones, the keep
er of the City Prison, was surveying the cells
of various prisoners, he was induced to exam
ine that occupied by Col. Edwards. On taking
down the bed which had been turned up end
ways towards the wall, the strap that held it
was found to have been cut and spliced togeth
er with a slip noose at the end, and a hang
man's knot prepared for use at short notice.
From the appearance of the strap, with olher
preparations in his cell, there is no doubt he
intended to commit suicide after receiving his
sentence this day. He declares that he will
never enter the walls of Sin" Sins State Prison
t7 fj
alive, and that if there was no other means of
destruction of life, he will beat his brains out
against the walls of his gloomy prison."
Nothing, says ala'e writer, sets so wide a
mark between a vulgar and a noble soul -as the
reverential love of womanhood. A man who
is always sneering at woman is generally a
coarse profligate or a bigot.
