Paltrier, Esq., at his Real Estate "nnd Coal Office, No. 59 Pine street, below Third, two squares S. the Merchants' Exchange, Phila., and No. KiO Nassau street, (Tribune buildings,) N. Y.,is authorised to receive subscriptions and advertisements for the Jeffersonian Republican, and give receipts for the same. Merchants, Me chanics, and tradesmen generally, ma' extend their business by availing themselves of the op portunities for advertisingin country papers which Jiis agency affords. IHcxico and the United Stales. The recent intelligence from Mexico leaves very little room for doubt that the authorities of that country will declare war against the Uni t:d Slates, if ihey have not already dono so ere this. The Mexican official journal of the 17th of July, contains n very long communication from ihe Minister, Cuevas, to the two Chambers, re viewing the controversy with the U. States, and indicating distincilv that a war must result. Official circulars, to the different departments, to furnish their quotas for the army, forthwith, are paraded. In one of them, Garcia Coude -says, " Mexico will not consent to give up one half of her territory, from the base fear of lo sing the other.'' Our government is preparing for the struggle, which is now considered inevitable. We have ten ships of war, in the Gulf, on the east side of Mexico, and eight in the Pacific, on the west, besides some 2 or 3000 troops in Texas, which have been sent there since the accepta tion of our terms for annexation by the govern ment and people of that country. The Tribune Publications. !We have received the second number of The Farmers' Library," which contains the conclusion of Petzholdt's excellent Treatise on Agricultural Chemistry. The Library is a ve Ty superior publication, and should be generally known to our farmers. We hope every agri culuiralisi in the county, will take sufficient in terest in it to call at this office and examine the two numbers in our possession. If they do so, .it is all we ask. They will then be able to judge of its merits for themselves. The 7th number of Dr. Lardner's interesting "Lectures has also been received. It is fully -equal in value to any of its predecessors. The Lady's Book. The August number of Godey's Lady's Book, .'has been on our table for some time. It is praise enough to say, that it fully sustains the previous high reputation of the magazine. The flections. Tennessee We have but a few returns from this State what we have, however, look -unfavorable. The loco gain on the Presiden tial vote (when Clay carried the State by 113) is near 600.

The Locos have elected a majority to the lower huiixe of the State Legislature Senate a tie. If ihe Whigs now behave like the locos did last year, refuse to go into joint meeting, no U. S. Senator will be elected from Indiana this year. The Products of our State. It appears that Pennsylvania now produces .annually 15,000,000 bushels of wheat and 45,- 000,000 bushels of other grain, and is capable of increasing the amount fourfold ; that she will send io market this year 2,000,000 tons of an thracite coal, yielding a return to the State of $7,000,000; that she manufactures three-fourths of ibe iron made in the whole Union, and has the means of supplying the consumption of ihe world; thai she has a bituminous coal field, through which the main line passes, for 130 miles, containing 1,000 square miles, or 6,400, 000 acres, when all Europe contains only 2,000 square miles of bituminous coal land. Improvement in Bustles. The Boston Transcript editress recommends the immediate manufacture of air tight bustles from Indian rubber, so made as to be kept con stantly inflated or blown up the warmth of the body expanding the air wilhin. They are look ed upon somewhat in the light of life preservers, and their general adoption is urged, especially in warm weather, as being far lighter and less expensive than those stuffed with old clothes, boots and blankets. Ladies in a Predicament. The New York Herald says : Two ladies, one young, beautiful and unmarried ; the other, a somewhat older, married lady, were on Mon day evening arrested and conveyed to one of the station houses where they were locked up lill morning, being found promenading the streets, dressed in male attire. Not having been sufficiently observing of the manners of gentlemen, they cut so awkward a figure, that they were immediately suspected and arrested. It seems that the young lady, who belongs to one of the first families in the city, was jealous of her- lover, and determined to watch his move ments, and being somewhat fearful of going in to the field alone, she requested her older friend to accompany her, to which she assented. They were discharged in the morning, upon promising never to " wear the breeches" again a promise which we fear the married lady will find it somewhat difficult to keep. JXj Gov. Wright, as it seems to us, is call ed upon to inako a vigorous demonstration in relation to the Anti-Rent murders. An officer of the law Deputy Sheriff Steele has just been shot down in the discharge of his duties. The bloodstained ruffians who participated in the offence are reported to have announced themselves in a spirit of defiance, as cool and determined law-breakers. Nay, they threaten ed more bloodshed and murder in an effort to carry out their desperate purposes. Now, ei ther the laws or the murderers must triumph. Either Gov. Wright or the rebels must yield. The condition of affairs described in the vari ous accounts is most appalling. It seems that a warrant had been issued some weeks ago to the sheriff of Delaware county. N. Y., by John Allen, agent for Charlotte D. Verplanck, the owner of a few lots in great lot No. 39, in the Hardenburgh patent, to collect $64, being two years' rent in arrears, on a farm of 160 acres, occupied by Moses Earll, in the town of Andes. The Sheriff, accompanied by his deputy, O. N. Steele, and two constables, proceeded on the morning of the 7th to the premises, to sell the property ; and on their arrival found a party of Indians numbering about one hundred and fifiy, who formed around the cattle levied upon, and forbid the sheriff to approach. While the Sheriff was engaged in an effort to drive the cattle into the road, Mr. Wright, one of the con stables, forced his way into the enclosure, and was followed by Steele and Edgerton. Very soon, under the orders of the Chief, and amidst exclamations of "shoot lhe horses!" "shoot him !" an Indian deliberately shot Mr. Edger ton's horse. Immediately a volley was fired, which mortally wounded Steele, and instantly killed his horse. Three balls were found to have taken effect upon Steele, one in his chest, another in the bowels, and the third on the right arm. He lingered in great agony for about six hours, when death finally came to his relief. This is certainly a very plain stqry. If cor rect, a foul and deliberate murder has been com mitted. The laws have not only been defied and outraged, but the life of one of the minis ters of the law has been taken. And all this i in thn " T!mnirft Slnlft'" in thn iniflt nf n nivil ized and .flourishing community. Is it not time for Gov. Wright to act promptly and energeti cally? The Anti-Renters may have grievan ces. There may be something wrong and op pressive in the system under which they rent their farms but this has little to do with the question now. The laws should be sustained at all hazards. BichielVs Reporter, Gen. Burnside, of Worcester, Otsego coun ty, has tendered to Gov. Wright the services of his regiment for the enforcement of the laws in Delaware county. Poisoned Tea. Nearly half a million dollars worth of tea was damaged by the late fire, in New York, but not burnt so as to destroy its usual appearance. Thousands of boxes of this damaged tea are now being shovelled up and placed in rough boxes, in that city, as if io be offered for sale. It is well known if any acid should como in coniact with the sheet lead with which tea boxes are lined, the compound would be a dead ly poison. And it is but reasonable to supposo that during- the late fire much of this tea has been thus poisoned. Tlic Retail Trade In dry goods has increased enormously with in a week past. Hundreds, we don't know but thousands, of speculating men and women have patronised the auction sales of goods partially burned and otherwise damaged at the great fire, and are now daily engaged in exposing their purchases for sale at retail on their stoops and sidewalks, all over the upper part of the city. The shreds and patches which are thus made traffic of, are of all sorts, sizes, and descrip tions and include goods of eveiy possible va riety, from the most costly broadcloths to the most common cottons. ' These remnants are singled out by tho customers, who appear both numerous and eager for trade, and purchased at prices set upon them impromptu by the venders, who are mostly females which prices, as we have noticed in some cases, would very nearly purchase the same quantity of perfectly undam aged goods from the store of a regular dealer. Immense quantities of damaged coffee from the fire, have been thrown upon the market, and eagerly snatched by speculators, to be turned out again to the public as the genuine burnt and ground "as good as new if not a little better." Our community is destined to bo awfully coz zened by this nefarious trick, for months io come, and sickness and death will, beyond a shadow of doubt, be the result. A large por tion of this damaged coffee is unquestionably impregnated with poison by its intermixture with, or close proximity to poisonous drugs and oilier articles during the fire or amongst the ru ins; while the damage sustained by the whole of it, independent of any such contracted adul teration, alone rendered it not only unwhole some, but highly dangerous, and fit for no pur pose but to be tumbled into lhe river. N. Y. News. Cost of Guarding over the Fire. Messrs. French & Hciser, proprietors of Cas tie Garden, N. Y., presenied to the Board of Aldermen, a bill for refreshment furnished du ring the late fire, of which the following is a copy : The Corporation of the City of New York, to the proprietors of Castle Garden, Dr. To furnishing provisions and refreshments during tho great fire on the 19th, 20th, and 21st of July, to the Military and Police department, S2750. Castle Garden, 28th July, 1845. Struck Dumb and Blind. During a late storm in England, when the thunder was pow erful and the lightning vivid, a party of males and females took refuge in a public house ; one man laughed at the parly because they exhibi ted great fear, and he mocked in blasphemous language the power of the storm ; suddenly a flash of lightning struck him down and when he was taken up, he was both dumb and blind. The last Census shows that there are about 1,400 newspapers printed in the United States, giving employment to about 12,000 hands. Of this number 245 are printed in New York, 186 in Pennsylvania, and 116 in Ohio. Delaware has but 3 newspapers, Iowa 4 and Wisconsin G. York, Pa., Post Office. Twenty-seven hundred and eighty letters were mailed at the posi-oflice of that borough during the month of July. Coal in East Jersey. A NEW DISCO VERY.-In digging a well at Baskingridge near the Hotel of H. V. Nevi us, the other day, the workmen discovered a few feet from the surface a vein of Coal, (re sembling the Lackawanna, though of a more shelly and crumbling nature,) which they pen etrated to the depth of 4 feet, when our inform' ant left, bringing us a small sample. We are not sufficiently skilled in Geology to give any opinion of the quality and value of this article, but a blacksmith in this village placed a lump in his forge, and informs us, afier exposing it to tho action of the fire, that it burned freely and gave out a bright blaze ; but he thinks it con tains a considerable proportion of slate. lie had, however, no opportunity to give it a fair trial, and it would perhaps be improper to say that it is not an important discovery. Somerset Wilis. Advertising for a Wife. Some tinio ago un advertisement appeared for a wife, "no objection to a lady of color." If the gentlemen is not suited, we beg leave to inform him that Mr. McDaniel, of Warren coun ty, Missouri, has a negro woman who is 117 years old, and has the fourth set of teeth, and is very anxious Jo marry. She retains all her fac ulties, and physicians who have seen her, say that she is good for thirty years more of life, judging from her general appearance. Her youngest son is eighty-four years of age, and plays on the banjo, and dances like a buy. He has a child a year old. Cmck ISctisrais.

The pwlc A very simple remedy is proposed in an Eug-jare infoBl1 lbal lhese Pllls not of .!, iish neriod.cal. It is an imlenendenl safety mushroom class, made of any thing lIU;rcv u rein, composed partly of thread-covered catgut, and partly of common leather, one end of which is attached to the bridle at the top of the head,' while the other lests at the pummel of the sad dle, or on tho splash board of a coach box, as the case may be. Running upon the catgut by means of loops, is a short piece of catgut which rests against the windpipe of the animal, ready to be pulled up against that organ by taking hold of the near er end of the rein. A quick and firm pull to stop the breathing of the animal is all that is necessary to bring him to an instantaneous pause. He may be in a state, of panic, and running of? with the bit between his teeth in spite of every ordinary means of slopping him ; but no sooner does ho feel the stricture upon his breathing than he is conscious of being out wilted and nonplussed, and becomes instantly as quiet as a Iamb. This is a very simple, and no doubt effica- cious mode, of stopping a runaway horse, and our saddlers and harness makers should forth with make this supernumerary check rein. t is simply and instantaneous choking the horse, and he stops. When President John Q. Adams was press ed to remove Jonathan Thompson from the Collectorship of New York, because he was opposed to the administration, the President coolly replied, " Is he honest and capable of his trust?" " Does he faithfully discbarge his official trust?" When these questions were answered in the affirmative, " Then," said he, " I will not remove a faithful officer for an hon est difference of political opinion." Cor. N. Y. Tribune. The fact that upwards of three hundred Post Masters have resigned their commissions under the new law, shows that interest is the leading feature, and patriotism merely secondary, with the "democratic" office seekers. Where there is money to be handled, and plenty of pickings, there are hordes of applicants for the spoils, but now lhat the public must be served for a mere nominal revenue-ration, Uncle Sam must whis tle for patriots. Jerseyman. A man, named Campbell, has been sent to the Missouri Penitentiary for 99 years, for mur dering Francis M. Wisdom. He will be quite an old man when his term expires.

Of all the-medicines put forth in the world, none has been regarded with such general fa vor by all who have used them, as tho so well known and efficacious medicine called "Dr. Smith's Lmpkovkd Indian Vegetable Pills;" and perhaps no medicine ever possessed in its peculiar combination, such mysterious power over disease. A lady of tho first respeclability in this city, (whose name we are permitted to give in private) informed us this week, that she had long suffered the most violent hcuduchc, ,. that nothing had ever afforded her relief h these Pills.
