TJie Delegate Ticket.
The nominations of John Jacoby, James
Yliet, and Samuel Meyers, for the Legislature,
have been received with very little favor by the
freemen of Northampton and Monroe. Great
dissatisfaction prevails among their parly in re
gard to them, and from present appearances all
three will be defeated by handsome majorities.
They are objectionable, personally, as well as
from the manner in which they were placed
upon ihe Ticket. Our information from North
ampton, leads us to believe that the majority
against them, in that county, will be more than
one thousand votes. From present appearan
ce?, Monroe will also record her vote against
them by a small majority.
The Volunteer Assembly Ticket.
By reference to our advertisements, it will be
seen that Hugh B. Hiueline, George Bachman
and Peter Snyder, present themselves to the
independent voters of Northampton and Mon
Toe as Volunteer candidates for the Legislature.
Mr. Snyder is personally known to nearly eve
ry man in ibis county. Messrs. Hineline and
Bachman, are also known from the circum
stance of having represented us in the Assem
bly two years ago. They are all three good
and honest men and are in every respect
preferable to the men on the Delegate Ticket.
Cfreeley & iTScEIrath's Publications.
The September number of the Farmers' Li
brary and Journal of Agriculture, has been re
ceived. We have already several times called
the atteniion of our farmers to this publication,
and pointed out io them its merits and useful
ness. The present is equal to any of the pre
ceding numbers. We again invite every one
connected with farming to call at our office and
examine it.
No. 10, of Dr. Lardnefs interesting Lectures
on Science and Art, ha3 also been received.
Four more numbers complete the series. Now
is the time to subscribe. Only 25 cents per
number.
The Lady's Book.
The Lady's Book for October has already
come to hand, and contains another of Godey's
unrivalled and authentic Fashion plates. The
fashions are published thirty days earlier in
i his magazine, than in any other. The embel
lishments and reading matter are unsurpassed
Dentistry.
By an advertisement in to-day's paper, it will
be found that Mr. V. M. Swayze, Surgeon Den
tist, of Easton, will be in Stroudsburg on the
9ih instant. Mr. S. is a skillful and easy ope
rator, and in his previous visit to this place
gave universal satisfaction. Those who may
be in want of his services should not forget the
9th, which will be to-day week.
An Appointment.
President Polk has appointed the Hon. Levi
Woodbury, U. S. Senator from New Hamp
shire, to the vacancy on tho bench of the Su
preme Court, occasioned by the death of Judge
Story. Mr. Woodbury is an able man, and will
doubtless make a good Judge. His loss will
be greatly felt in the Senate. He was one of
the ablest men of his party in that body.
Canal Commissioner.
The nomination of Capt. Samuel D. Karns
'is every where received with great favor. The
people are rally to his support, and his prospect
of being elected is flattering.
Louisiana. The Hon. T. I. Cooley has
. been nominated as the Whig candidate for
jr"GongreBS, in the Baton Rouge district. '
A malignant fever prevails at Changewater,

Sale of Public liauds postponed.
The public sales -of lands in Iowa, announced
to come off on the 15:h of September, and on
the 20ih of October insu, are postponed to the
15th of May and 22d of June, 1846.
The Cheap Postage Law.
We have been favored, says the Miners'
Journal, by Mr. Cochran, our Postmaster, with
the following statement relative to the business
of the Post Office since tho establishment of
the new law :
Letters sent during tho month of July, 3612
do do August, 4051
It will be perceived that there is an increase
of more than four hundred in the number sent
during August, over that sent in July. The
people are beginning to appreciate the benefits
conlerred upon them by the new law, and as
time passes the immense amount of business
done by the department, will more than make
up the difference between the old and new
rates.
Enlarging the Area ol Freedom.
We clip the following from tho Charleston
Mercurv. a well known Polk paper. It needs
no comment :
" Who then can set bounds to our territorial
expansion, short of ihe continent on which our
destination is cast -what earthly power shall
sav to us. 'thus far shall thou o, and no far-
ther.' within that ample area ! Coining events
cast their shadow before ! Louisiana is ours,
Florida is ours, Texas is ours, the Oregon must
be ours, inundated, in the course of nature, by
the advancing tide of our population, Mexico
threatens a war, which will provoke, if not in
vite, her annexation Canada will, in due sea
son, fall like ripe fruit into our lap and all the
rest will then follow of course, till the isthmus
of Darien form our equinoctial, and the Arctic
Sea, our polar boundary.
The State Interest.
Tho London correspondent of ihe New York
Courier and Enquirer says :
"The conduct of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture, in paying only four and a half per cent,
interest Jo those who convert their dividend
certificates into stock, is characterized here in
very harsh terms, as 'mean,' 'pitiful,' and alto
gether unworthy; evincing either an entiie ig
norance of the nature of commercial obligations,
or a wilful disregard of them. The measure of
conversions is considered a good one, but ihe
paltry saving of one half of one per cent, takes
from it the credit it would otherwise deserve."
A Patriotic Donation.
The Pennsylvania State Treasurer, J. R.
Snowden, Esq. announces ihe receipt of a do
nation of fifty dollars from a non resident, but a
native of Pennsylvania, to be appropriated to
wards the payment of the interest on the State
Debt.
Toll.
The amount of tolls received on the Penn
sylvania canals and railroads up to the lsl Sep
lember is 8807,192 40, being an increase of
$4,860 over the corresponding period of last
year, and $136,689 30 over '43. The amount
of tolls received on the Delaware division of
the Pennsylvania canal for the present year
up to September lsl is $85,996 94. Up to
same date last year, it was $07,893 16, being
an increase for this year of 18,103 78.
The Xale Bankrupt Act.
In consequence of several hundred petitions
under the late Bankrupt act still pending in the
United Slates District Court, for the Northern
District of New York, in which no motion has
yet been made for a discharge; ihe District
Judge has determined after consultation with
members of the Bar, to limit the time to grant
discharges, and has fixed the first day of Feb
ruary next, before which all motions for dis
charge must, if at all, be made.
Daily Cost of Texas to this Country.
The expenses which the United Slates are
now and have been defraying for ships of war
ordnance, forts, troops, both horse and foot, with
all their provisions and military stores amount
to tens of thousands of dollars per day. Mex
ico, it is said, would have yielded all her right
to the country and thrown in nearly as much
again beyond the Rio Grande if we would
have paid her but a third of ihe money expen
ded up to this lime by our government in war
like preparations. It is the slaveholding spirit
and power of this country which has driven on
this work to its present slate, and it is the
slaveholding population of this country who ex
pect to be benefitted by this entire movement.
We greaily mistake, however, if the Slavehold
ing States do noi yet rue tho day that they
moved in this work. Boston Traveller.

Mormon Troubles 30 Mouses Burn.
A slip from the Quincy Courier, Adams Co.,
Illinois, dated 14th ult , informs us that a body
of anti-Mormons had attacked Morley's Settle
ment' near Lima, in that county, and burnt 25
or 30 houses, with barns, wheat stacks, &c.
The Courier adds :
"The excitement is very great, and large
numbeis of anti-Mormons are pouring in from
tho adjoining counties and from Missouri and
are still burning and destroying properly, and
determined to drive ihe Mormons from the coun
ty. Our informant saw about 50 Mormons un
der arms, within about two miles from the set
tlement. It was in contemplation by ihe anii
Mormons to attack two more settlements last
evening.
The St. Louis Republican of the 16th learns
from a passenger that 300 anti-Mormons were
encamped near Lima, and lhat 100 Mormons
had gone into Nauvoo, where the Legion was
ordered out.
Warsaw, 1 1th Sept. 1845.
10 o'clock, A. M. On Tuesday morning
last, (9ih insi.) an attack was made on a school
house in Rocky Run Precinct, by some persons
unknown but supposed to be Mormons, in
which there was at the time of ihe attack a con
vention of anti-Mormons, or old settlers of the
county. The door and windows of the house
were completely riddled by ihe shots fired by
the assailants. The attacking party approach
ed under the cover of tho woods and bushes,
fired one round and fled. No person was in
jured, but many were, I presume, much fright
ened at this sudden and unexpected attack.
The old settlers in lhat section of the country
armed for defence, and if they are backed by
their friends in other parts of ihe country, blood
will flow. By a messenger just in, who came
to purchase lead, powder, flints, &c I learn
that four buildings were burned down last night,
and one man shot, and very badly wounded, but
not mortally. Yesterday, thirteen wagons,
loaded with furniture, were seen wending their
way to the City of Refuge, (Nauvoo.)
2 o'clock P. M. Another messenger has
just arrived from the country, and reports that
large bodies of Mormons are patrolling the
Southern parts of ihe County, and lhat a num
ber of families from ihe interior are on their
way to Warsaw, seeking protection. 1 can
form no opinion what the result will be.
The Warsaw Signal of ihe 17th contains the
following inflammatory article :
"Murder of oxe of our best .men To
Arms ! To Arms'. It has become our painful
duty to announce the death of one of our most
estimable citizens, by tho hands of assassins.
Franklin A. Worrell, of Carthage, is no
mure. While riding across the prairie, in com
pany with some friends, yesterday, about 11
o'clock, some Mormons concealed in ihe hazel
rough nine miles from this place, fired upon him.
The ball took effect in his breast and caused
almost instant death. There was a wagon in
company, which brought his remains to this
place.
Poor Frank, he was one of the noblest spir
its in our country, and his death has kindled
and will kindle a flame that can never be quench
ed until every Mormon have left the vicinity.
REVENGE, REVENGE, Fellow-Citizens, is
now the word.
Mr. Worrel was in no way connected with
the proceedings in the south of the county, and
his assassination was only provoked by that
fell spirit of revenge that seeks its victims in
discriminately. There is no longer peace for Hancock. Blood
will and must flow if necessary to rid the coun
ty of tho cursed authors of our troubles."
Still Later.
From the St. Louis New Era of Sept. 20.
The latest accounts we have are by the
steamer Boreas, in yesterday morning; she left
Keokuck, which is situated but twelve miles
from Nauvoo, on Thursday morning; the offi
cers of tho boat report lo us no unusual excite
ment among the inhabitants of the former place,
and not the least appearance of that consterna
tion and confusion lhat the burning of three hun
dred houses in their immediate neighborhood
would be likely to produce ; but, on the contra
ry, the more intelligent portion of the inhabi
tants seemed disposed to treat tho whole affair
lightly, and spoke of it as the second Punic
war between the Warsawians, Carlhagenians
and Mormons, and with which ihuy had nothing
to do. At the seat of war, (Warsaw,) five
miles below Keokuk, the officers of the B.
found evejy thing, as it were, under a seven
years siege. The town was nearly or entirely
deserted by the female population, who had
been removed to tho opposite side of the river
for safely.
Matters and things had been prepared for an
invasion ; and nothing did the valiani soldiers
of Warsaw fear mo much as the appearance of
the Mormons ; there our iuforrnaiita learned that
a skirmish had laken place the day previous
between a scouting party of General Williams'
army, encamped some six or eight miles dis
tant, anil a body of Mormons ; during the firing,
one man, a resident of Warsaw, by the name
of Lindsay, was wounded in tho leg, and ano
ther soldier was missing ; after some liule firing
ihe scouts look to their heels and made the best
of iheir way back to head-quarters, with, it may
be said, the loss of two men, one wounded in
the calf of the leg, and the oilier either killed,
hid in the bushes or run off, which of the three
not known, but ihe presumption is strongly in
fayour of the second, but by some the latter
propoaiiion receives the most favor.
At Warsaw, after the B. had left Keokuk,
coming down, her officers understood from a
rumor that was rife in that place, that 500 Mor
mons, in iwo different armies, had arrived at
the latter place on iheir way lo the scene of
ihe disturbance and ihe burnt district for the
purpose of aiding Backinstos, the Mormon
Sheriff, in arresting and bringing the anti-Mormon
rioters lo justice. A report was also in
circulation ihai the "holy twelve" of Nauyoo
had sent, or wero about to snd, a flag of truce
lo Warsaw for the cessation of hostilities, with
an agreement for a capitulation ; one of the
counts in ihe agreement was renorted to be thai
they, the twelve Apostles and rulers of ihe Lat
ter Day Saints and City of Nauvoo. would agree
upon a general burial of the hatchet by ihe anti-Mormons,
and an entire cessation of hostili
ties, to abandon, evacuate and desert the tem
ple of their fathers and the Holy City of Nau
voo next spring. This is about as preposterous
as the 300 burnt houses.
At Warsaw nothing further could be learned
than thai Backenstos, ihe Mormon Sheriff, had
issued another proclamation calling on ihe law
loving and law-abiding citizens to assist him in
maintaining the public peace. Below Warsaw
all was quiet.
Teaching the Piano in One Minute. A
Mr. Jameson, in England, is teaching what is
called color music, by which persons are taught
to perform on the piano almost at the first touch
of the keys. The pupils play from sight. The
keys of the piano.-forie are colored, to various
lengths, to correspond with similar colors in
the book ; color being note, height being octave,
and length being lime.

Outrage at ILogan.
Mob Law Prevailing! Houses Destroyed
and Lives Endangered.
We learn verbally, as well as by the letter of
our correspondent, found below, that the most
intense excitement and mob spirit has prevailed
at Logan, Hocking count', for the last few
days.
Logan, Sept. 9, 1845.
Friend Van Vorhes : The- greatest excite
ment has prevailed in our town for the last two
days. Our county has been infested for ihe last
six or eight years by a lawless band of horse
thieves, counterfeiters, &c, who made Green
township, in the eastern part of ihe county,
their head quarters, and ihe place of iheir grand
councils. Adannia Maiheny, the leader of this
banditti, became so bold and iupudeut, that he
walked our streets like a lord, armed with a
butcher-knife some 12 or 14 inches in length,
together with fire arms, threatening those who
dared to speak disrespectful of his profession,
with immediate destruction.
On Monday morning, this Maiheny came in
to town, walked up to one of our citizens stan
ding in the door of the Posi Offiec, and whom
he had previously threatened with death, pla
cing one hand upon the handle of the butcher
knife, very impudently accosted him with,
'good morning, Mr. Nelson.' Mr. Nelson ex
pecting Maiheny to assassinate him, instantly
returned ihe salutation with a blow across the
arm, which disabled him from using his knife.
Maiheny ran into the Posi Office, but was fol
lowed close, and the blows repeated uith a
heavy cane, until he atlempted an escape from
them by his speed in running; he was overta
ken in the middle of the street, felled to the
ground, and severely beaten. It is thought,
however, that ho will recover.
The work was then begun a meeting of the
citizens was immediately called, at which spir
ited resolutions were passed, to rid our country
of said Maiheny and his accomplices, (who are
not few in number.) A committee was appoin
ted to wait on all those persons suspected of
harboring, or being connected in any manner,
with said Maiheny, and give them so many
days to settle their business and leave the coun
ty. This committee discharged their duly with
fidelity and lo the general satisfaction of the
citizens. They gave Maiheny till to-morrow
at 2 o'clock, some 24 hours, to make his de
parture. The buildings of some have been laid
low, as a certain indication, of wltat wo mean.
