Palmer, Esq., at his Real Estate and Coal Office, No. 59 Pine street, below Third, two squares S. the Merchants' Exchange, Phila delphia, is authorised to receive subscriptions and advertisements for the Jcffersonian Republican, tind givo receipts for the same. Merchants, Me chanics, and tradesmen generally, may extend their business by availing themselves df the op portunities for advertising in country papers which his agency affords. Temperance Pic H"ics. Temperance Pic Nics have become quite fash ionable in Boston, and other parts of the Eastern states. The Philadelphia and New York papers have also come out strongly in their favor, and urge upon the people to give them a trial in a suggestion which will no doubt be promptly acted upon. Amusement and relaxation of some sort, are absolutely necessary for the health and com fort of the laboring and other classes of our citi zens ; and it should therefore be the object of the philanthropic and pious, to devise and promote such kinds as are innocent and harmless. Of this 'description of amusements, we consider Temper ance Pic Nics. They bring into close communion, large numbers of the dwellers of towns and cities, upon terms of intimacy and equality. . They ena ble them to enjoy the pure air of the country; with all its fresh and health-giving breezes. THey afford the means of agreeable recreation tb hun dreds wilhout,.as heretofore, the apprehensibri bf intoxication. As long as' they are properly con ducted, and do not recur too often, they will be found to be, not only a source of pleasure to the people, but also powerful auxiliaries to the cause of Temperance. Trial for .Tliirder. The trial of Joseph Carter, who stands indicted for the murder of Mr. J. 13: Parke, Mr. J. Castner, his wife and child, will come on during the Court, which commences at Uelvidere, on Tuesday next. Messrs. Morris, and Shenerd, of Belvidere, and Mr. MolHsori, Attorney General of New Jersey, will conduct it for the prosecution, and Messrs. Kennedy and Clemson, df Bel'videre, the Hon. J. W "Miller, United States -Senator, of Mor ristown, and Mr. Wurts for the defence. A great deal of feeling exists throughout Warreri co. upon the subject; and intense interest is manifest ed in the result. .Shameful. We learn from a Southern paper, that two while men were sold, on the 4th inst. at Spartansburg, South Carolina, for pauperism or debt, we are not informed which- They brought six. and a quarter cents each. This, it appears, is the standard 6f value' for a tohilc manx at a place where a negro is sold for from two to five hundred dollars. Alas, for the pride, honor, and chivalry of South Caro lina! It must be low, indeed, to' allow such tilings as these to go- unredressed. ITSorc Itfillcrisim Some of the Millerites, notwithstanding the failure of their leaders prophecy that the world would come to an end on the 23d of March last, still hold together, and strive as earnestly as ever to delude the weak and unthiriking. A party of them have pitched their great tent at Buffalo, N. Y. and are preaching the immediate second coming of the Savior. Br. Huh n era a mi. This distinguished individual, the founderof flic' homoeopathic practice of medicine, died at Paris, jvhere he has resided for some yeais, on the 2d of July, at the advanced age. of 88 years. He was a native of Germany,- and fust practised his new system in 1790. Tlie Wayne County Herald. The " attending to" which we gave that would-be-great man, john I. alien, of tlie Wayne county Herald, vfeek before last, has made him turn, and' twist, and look in every direction for the north point of the compass. It has, moreover, as the old saying is. made him as cross as a bear with a sore head. He asks us to "straighten ourselves out of the dirt, and swell into' something like gen tlemcrt." We do net clearly comprehend the genius' meaning!- It is1 true we know master john to be a perfect specimen1 of if "swell ''-"but if he vou!'J have us imitate the manner of his straight ening himself up out of the ?irt afler one of his punch or ioddu frolics: and' his sv&wg himself a i I unto somclhmg like a gentleman, after the fashion he did when he visited Philadelphia and entered his name on the books of one of tho" Hotels as "john I. alien, Editor of the Wayno county Her aid, & son," we must beg leave to decline being schooled by him. If we had tho advising of this erratic genius, we would endeavor to. make Him ambitious of" straightening himself upout of the din," and swelling into something like a weaver; rather than to make himself ridiculous by trying to Ewell himself into the proportions of a gentle man. Nature hardly ijij.ed him for the first ; but when he undertqok the latter, he made of himself what we call an aniirjal with long cars.. All Hail Tennessee Great and Glorious Triumph A Whig majority m the United States Senate the TARIFF Safe a Check upon the Loco Foco House a Veto on the Corrup tion of John Tyler. The late election in Tennessee, has resulted most gloriously for the Whigs we have triumph ed most signally. Enough has already been as certained to insure the election of a Whig Gover nor, a Whig Legislature, and a majority of Whig Congressmen. This triumph will secure the Whigs two U. S. Senators, and consequently majority in that body. North Ca.ro Iai8a--Tfr at "Same Jd COOli!" We have carried a majority of Congressmen in North Carolina, notwithstanding the shameful manner in which the state was gerrymandered against us. The Congressmen elected arc Whigs, 4 locos. From Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois, but few returns have been received. Not "enough to form Shy kind of a correct estimate. That very 'same old Coon' that, the Locos had Uuried, is playing 'possum hard to kill. A Candidate. Samuel B. Ilalsey, Esq. of Morris county, has been unanimously nominated by the Whigs of the Fourth District, of New Jersey, composed of the counties of Middlesex, Morris, and Somerset, for Cbngrcss. Mr. Halsted was the speaker of the popular branch of the last New Jersey Legislature, is known to possess fine talents, and is the most popular man in the District. If the Whigs exert iheihselves, a3 they have promised to do, his elec tion is certain.- Congressmen. We omitted to notice ih our last, that William Brown, of Allen township, Northampton county, has publicly announced himself as a candidate for Congress, from this District, s'ubject to a nomina tion by the loco foco conferees. This makes the third candidate from Northampton. Richard Brodhead, Jr. and Dr. Robert E. James, having Ions: since announced themselves. J. S. Diraick, of Pike county, is also urged for the same office. We shall not lack for candidate's. Specie of the World. The entire specie of the world is estimated by Jacobs at $1,900,000,000; and Mr. Merrit, of Union, Pennsylvania, says, that according to the best authorities, the paper circulation of Europe is fourteen times the specie currency. Tlie Ridgcway EsSaie. The Philadelphia Gazette says tho assessed value of the real estate in tho city and county, owned by the late Jacob Ridgeway, is eight hundred and seventy-seven thousand nine-hundred and three dollars. Remarkable aad liberal EJoaatiosi. The Christian Watchman says a gentleman recently entered the Baptist general assembly's board of foreign missions, and counted out ten one thousand dollar bank bills, saying it was for the mission to China, and no questions were to be asked as to tho donor. This is a literal observance of the rule of hot letting one know what the oilier doeth. It is said that the question of Puseyism will be introduced into the British Parliament, with the object of ascertaining whether a Protestant country ought to pay clergymen who violate ihc doctrines of the Protestant Church in their sermons. Tomb of Coin in 5) as. A correspondent of the Picaytrire, giving a description of the Cathedral at Havanna, writes as follows J Within the sacristy, arid to the right of the altar in tho cathedral, is a tablet of stone, in laid in the wall, having on it the bust of a man in basso-relievn. Within this lie the ashes of the immortal Christopher Columbus, the dis coverer of this the new world. The remains of the great navigator, as all know, were con veyed from Spain to St. Domingo, and after having rested thflre one hundred and three years, tliey Wefe, in 17G& transferred to Ha vanna; ihey are preserved in a silver urn, en '"''x" iuiicil Ullcal.

One who will tell you of j-our faults and follies in prosperity, and assist you witli his, hand in adversity, Correspondence of the Jeffcrsoman Republican Easlon, August 15th, 1843. Messrs. Editors: ' I have very little of importance to communicate to-day, duln'e'ss being as prevalent in Easton, just now, as in other parts of the country. The Boat men, who have been oh a strike for higher wages for the last eight weeks still continue to hold out, and there is very little prospect of a speedy ar rangement between them and their employers. The officers of the Beaver Meadow Company, who own about fifty boats, arrived hero one day last week, and after considerable negotiating; agreed to give their men the additional twenty cents per ton, demanded. Their offer has been accepted, and yesterday the last of their boats, passed thro' the guard lock of the Delaware Canal, oh its way to the City. This company has heavy contracts, to supply the Navy Department, and several large factories with coal, and in order to fulfil them, was obliged to come to terms with their boatmen. The Mauch' Chunk, Hazleton, Sugar Loaf, and several other companies, have, however, done nothing yet towards resuming operations. They say they cannot afford to pay more than they have been giving, and the men declare that they cannot and will not work for that. So the matter rests. Several persons who feel themselves aggrieved by the conduct of the coal companies, have collec ted forty two, qf the -Mauch Chunk Five Dollar certificates of loan, and brought suits on tlierh be fore J ustice Kinsey, in this place, to recover the penalty of Fifty Dollars which the Act of Assem bly imposes upon all corporations, not expressly incorporated for the purposes of banking, for issu- ng, re -issuing, making, or circulating any prom issory note, ticket or engagement of credit in the nature of a bank note. The cases came on for ttial on Saturday last, but in consequence of the defendants not being ready to proceed, were con tinued until Friday of this week. Considerable feeling is manifested, among our citizens, upon the subject. The Theatre which has been in operation here for the past mouth, still continues to attract great audiences. Mr. E. S. Conner, concluded his second engagement last evening ; on which occa sion -Shakespeare's Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was performed to a large and fashionable assem blage. Miss Alexina iisher, one of the best American actresses is engaged, and will appear in the colirse of a few days. Thero is a little calm in politics, here, just now; but as the Regular loco foco County meeting takes place on Monday next, we shall soon have a sur feit of it. It is the general opinion that there will be an out-brerfk and separation between the two factions, at this first meeting. I will keep a sharp look out, and send you all the particulars, Yours,' J.

Pa- The. best answer to the wanton, unprovoked and malicious attacks of the Editor of the Wayne co. Herald, on Milford'and its inhabitants, is to offer to his view and the Public, a true picture of Mil ford with the accompanying statistics ; and then let that Public decide on the truth and accuracy of the Herald's statements', and see if it will not bear a favorable comparison with the mighty boroughs of Bethany and Ilonesdale. In the first place, the situation of Milford is one bf the most delightful to be found in the whole state, built on an elevated plain on the bank of the noble Delaware, which flows majestically in front of the town, and washed on each side by two beautiful streams'of water, capable of 'driving a vast amount of machinery, commanding a line view of the highly cultivated flat lands and distant Mountain scenery of New Jersey, and slaie of New York with the ronianiic views in the neigh borhood, including the high falls of the Saw Kill. In point of situation, and grandeur of views, it throws the aforesaid towns ol Bethany and Hones dale entirely inthe background. Milford contains abdut a hundred dwelling houses, and necessary out buildings, and a population of nearly 500 souls among which are the following nuiribcr of me chanics all pursuing a successful business, viz : 2 Cabinet Makers, 2 Wagon ahd Plough making establishments, I Wind-mill factory, 7 shoe and boot shops, G Tailor do. 1 Harness do. 1 Watch Maker, I Umbrella do. 1 large Tannery', 1 Cupo la Furnace, a Shingle Machine, 4 Smith shops, 2 large Grist Mills, 1 Saw do. 1 Clover do. 2 Car ding Machines, 2 Millinery shops, 2 Mantua-making do. 1 Straw or Braid Hat do. Milford con tains three large Public Houses, 3 Dry Good stores, 1 Drug store, 1 Grocery. The public buildings are i Presbyterian and 1 Methodist church, an Academy, a large substan tial stone court-house with ah empty jail. Thus much for Milford statistics. As for the character of tho citizens for industry and enterprise, they may challenge comparison with the same number in any village in the stale. It is due to the inhab itants of Milford to say that they first projected and successfully carried through the groat Milford and Owego Turnpike road, as" well as that noble structure the Delaware Bridge. By the spirited enterprise of a single individual, Milford is well supplied with good and wholesome water, by a noble aqueduct of 500 rods in length. We have a line of stages from Milford to Eas ton 3 times a week from Milford to New York 3 times a week via Morristown also 3 limes a week via Patterson and 3 limes a week from Milford to Owego. The last 3 lines of stages r.un daily in the winter a daily line of stages from this place to Middletown, and twice a week to Kingston, New York. We could'point to individuals in Milford j who have entered with spirit into the farming business, who now grow from five to twelve hundred bush els of grain a year, with a due proportion of Hay, Potatoes, &c. not forgetting White beans.' We would ask the Editor of the Herald, if such a place as Milford with such a people, are proper subjects of newspaper scurtilily and abuse. The same species of wanton abuse and scurrility appeared in a late Herald against a respectable association of strangers, who have lately come among us have purchased a large body of land, and are now assiduously engaged in its cultivation. His diffi cult to ascribe motives for such publications, and we think their author will not acquire a very en- vianle name by such a course. HUGO. Milford, August, 1843. 3E1, In Westfall township.
