other for some weeks past, about some trivial af
fair. The "Press" of last week made an attack on
the private character of some famiHes, which was
considered to be one of the most outrageous things
that ever appeared in a newspaper. The conse
quence was that two persons supposed to be the
authors of the article, were anested yesterday
about 10 o'clock on a charge of libel, and held to
bail in the sum of one thousand dollars each, to
answer the charge. As soon as this was effected
the aggrieved party repaired to the "Press Office,"
threw" the materials of the establishment into the
' street, set fire to them and there burned them up.
Sudden IeatSi.
Mr. William Staples, a resident of Stroud
township, Monroo co., died suddenly on Wed
nesday last, at Mr. Hagenbuch's hotel, in the
Borough of Easton. Tho Whig says that an
inquest was held upon the body, by Horace E.
Wolf, Esq., when it appeared from the evidence
that the deseased was seized with an apoplec
tic fit while at dinner, and died a few minules
afterward. A verdict was rendered in accord
ance with the above facts.
His remains were brought to Stroudsburg on
Thursday last for interment.
liberty Ncniiualions.
On Thursday last, a Convention of Liberty
men assembled at Harrisburg, and put in nom
ination Dr. F. J Lemoyne, of Washington
county, for Governor, and M. B. Thomas, of
Philadelphia, for Canal Commissioner.
We observe, says the Nomstown Herald and
Tree Press, that several loco-foco papers in the
interior of this State are endeavoring to make po
litical capital out of the present high prices of pro
duce of all kinds, which they assure the Farmers
is one of the blessings bestowed by President Polk,
through the Tariff of 1S-1G, upon the people!
Every one (loco-foco editors included) knows that
the present high prices were occasioned by the
failure of the crops in Great Britain and Ireland,
and in many countries on the continent of Europe,
reducing a vast number of people to a state of
starvation, and causing the death of thousands.
That Polk caused this famine, as the loco-foco
papers assert, if their language means any thing,
israther more than his political opponents are
willing to charge him with, though they little doubt
his disposition to do any thing that he might sup-
pose would promote his personal or party views
uui n.ine presiu u,B - f
rjroducts are, as the loco-foco papers assert, the
i -
effect of the Tariff of 184G, that Tariff would seem
to be very unequal in its operations. Mechanics
and working men do not find their labor more in
request nor their prices increased since the pas
sage of the new Tariff, while the prices of provi
sions are such as to render it difficult for many to
procure even the bare necessaries of life. As this
seems to be the effect of design on the part of the
administration, we would recommend an early re
vision of its work by the same skilful hands which
have accomplished such wonders.
Anecdote of Mr. Webster.
In liia speech at Savannah, on the occasion
of tho dinner given him by the citizens of that
place, Mr. Webster, adverting particularly to
the object of his visit i e. to see Southern cul
ture and Southern people said : " I have fre
quently been asked during my tour, by South
cm gentlemen, whether 1 could g& with them
to look at this rice field or that cotton field.
The question reminded me of an anecdote told
by my friend Skinner, of the Farmer's Library,
fof a man about to be married, who, when asked
""by the paraon if he 4 wanted to have this woman
fpnahis wedded wife,' replied, 4 To be sure J
. IJtl csme on purpose.'"

Gen. Irviaa's visit to Potlsville. I
General James Ibvik, the Federal candidate for
Governor, who was in this city several days ago,
passed hence to Potlsville, and so, by the usual
circuitous route of a politician of his party, home.
His visit to Pottsville must have been peculiarly,
interesting to him. The evidences of "ruin" are
there gloriously prominent. They stared him in
the face from every coal-pit, ran against him in
every locomotive, were heard in the hammers of
the forge, were seen in the fires of the furnace,
and made palpable by contact with any of the
hard Democratic hands which he shook on the oc
casion of his visit. While at Pottsville he could
also say what he had seen in Philadelphia, beside
a very downcast set of Federal politicians: over
crowded wharves, happy "and contented mechan
ics, and such a rattling of machinery in Kensing
ton, if he went there, as would have stunned or
dinary ears. When the General reaches Centre
county he will no doubt have a long story to tell:
a principal feature in which will be these proofs
of the country's ruin! Pennsylvanian.
The Pennsylvanian sneers atGen.Trvin for hav
ing made a brief visit to the Coal Region, on his
way to his residence in Centre county, which at
the same time it never finds a word oC fault with
Gov. Shunk, for the many excursions he has made
to various' portions of the State. If the editor of
the Pennsylvanian will talce the trouble to refer to
Mitchell's Maps of our State he will find that the
General's route home by way of Pottsville was as
short as that by way ol Harrisburg, if not a few
miles shorter. But because the General is a Whig
candidatefor Governor, his motives are impugned,
and he iff accused of taking a circuitous course for
electioneering purposes. It is only a few months
sincethat Governor Shunk paid a brief visit to
our .region, shortly before his nomination, but at a
time when it was distinctly understood that he
or . , , i-i.-- r U... I

he was a Locofoco, the virtuous indignation of the
Pennsylvanian was not at all aroused, or the com
mendable desire of ihe Governor to become belter
acquainted with the resources of the State called
in question.
Gen. Irvin came to Pottsville at the earnest so
licitation of many of his friend's from this region,
whom he met in Philadelphia while on a business
visit to that city. As it appears to be pretty gen
erally conceded by candid men that he will be the
next Governor of our State, our citizens desired
that he should, from personal observation, acquire
a knowledge of the business and resources of the
Coal Region. This we conceive to be perfectly
proper, and do not think any reasonable man could
find fault with it. While here, Gen. Irvin, as we
stated last week, visited some of the principal im
provements in our region, and expressed great sur
prise that so much had been accomplished in so
short a time. It is true thai he saw every one
employed, and allsorts of business carried on ac
tively and energetically ; but if he tells what he
heard, as well as what he saw, when he arrives at
home, the statement would not sound very musi
cal to the ears of our Loco Foco cotemporary.
He would say that he met and conversed with
working men, who were the possessors of the
"hard Democratic hands," so .eloquently alluded
to by the Pennsylvanian, and from them he learned
that with provisions fifty per cent, dearer than
they were a year ago, their wages were not in
creased, and in many instances, are less now than
they were then. He would- hear the Coal Mer
chant complaining that Coal was selling from 20
to 25 cents a ton less than it was twelve months
since, and that every one was complaining that
the coal business was duller than it had been at
any time since the Tariff of 1842 went into opera
tion. And perhaps too, if he told all, he might
say that he heard maledictions both loud and deep
from- those who voted for Polk, heaped upon the
heads of the party leaders and Editors, who in
1844 basely deceived the people into believing that
Polk. wa3 a5 good a Tariff man as Henry Clay,
, .... , ij r
and upon the administration who repealed the Pro
tective Tariff of 1812, and thus checked the pros
perity of the Coal Trade. These things, and
more of the same kind could General Irvin tell,
and we would that all could hear them from him
or those who told him. We would tell the Penn
sylvanian nor to exult over the seeming, prosperi
ty of the State and country . The people are sick
of the legislation, and of the legislators who have
ruled in our State and National Councils for the
past three yeans, their days are numbered, their
fate is decided, and the election of Gen. Irvin in
1847 will be only the precursor to a sweeping ma
jority in Pennsylvania for a Whig Protective Ta
riff candidate for the Presidency in 1848.

MEXICAN NEWS.
We give below a digest of the news received
from Mexico since our last.
Tho writer of a letter to the New Orleans
Delta, from Gen. Taylor's camp, May 15, thinks
the movements there indicate that they would
march for San Luis Potosi probably about the
first of June.
A desperate duel had occurred at China, be
tween two Lieutenants in the Virginia Regi
menr. ' They fought with muskets, loaded with
ball and buckshot, and both fell.
The Presidential election was held on the
15th ult., and it was supposed Senor Ilerrera
was elecied; and that his election would be fa
vorable to peace.
Santa Anna had left the command of the ar
my of the east to assume the duties of Presi
dent. He stated in a letter published that h
had been industriously engaged in organizing
guerilla parties. The citizens of the Capital
seemed careless about defending the city, and
were still divided into factions.
Com. Perry had returned from a successful
cruize having taken a format the mouth of the
river Guasacualco, and a town some twenty
miles up that river. He also procured a map
of the contemplated canal across the isthmus of
Tehuantepcc. He intended to soon make a
demonstration upon Tobasco, where some 2,000
of the Mexican army were prepared to offer re
sistance. A correspondent from Vera Cruz speaks of
the general health of the city, and says it has
already nearly recoveredthe effects of the siege
-.-the people are returning, the knocked down
houses are being rebuilt, the sireeis cleaned,
shops opened, and all the activity of a seaport
displayed. Amongst other things, we have an
American circus in operation.
Col. Doniphan arrived at Parras, a lown
south of Chihuahua and wesl of Monterey, witji
about one thousand men, and sixteen pieces of
artillery. In passing through Durango they
lad taken possession of a small lort, and cap
tured one captain, 21 privates, and 4G stand of
t n l .1 1 -
arms, me prisoners were reieaseu on puunc,
and arms furnished ihem for defence against
the Camanches. At Massey they found 125
muskets and 85 lances, but the troops flod on
heir approach.
Gen. Cushing had received orders to join
Gen. Taylor, immediately at Monterey, and had
started with a detachment of ninety of the Mas
sachusetts regiment, having appointed Edward
Webster as his aid.
Gen. Cadwallader had ordered an election lo
be held to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
promotion of Col. Cushing.
Three men belonging to ihe Massachusetts
regiment-, who had deserted, were murdered by
the Camanches.
Gen. Taylor had determined to employ ihe
new Texan battalion.
Letters from the city of Mexico dated tho
21si ult., state that Sania Anna arrived at ihe
capitol on the 19th, and was received with
curses by the populace, who evinced their dis
approbation by pelting him with stones. Thro'
the interference of his friends he was enabled
to escape their fury and take refuge in the pal
ace. The mob were only prevented from drag
ging him through the streets by an armed force,
assisted by the police.
Fredericksburgii, June 11, 1847.
The steamer Fashion has arrived at Now
Orleans from Vera Cruz, bringing dates to the
30th ult.
The robbery of the diligence and the murder
of the passengers is confirmed. Among the
victims was Col. Sowers, the bearer oi des
patches from Gen. Scott. His body was found
atrociously mutilated.
Santa Anna was reported to be at Rio Frio
with three thousand men.
There is a report of the election of Herrera,
but it is not traceable lo any authentic source.
Gen. Scott was to leave Jalapa for Puebla on
the 29ih. Gen. Twiggs' division had already
left.
A pany of Mexicans who were coming into
Vera Cruz from Santa Fe, had been attacked
and robbed by their own countrymen.
Jalapa is now garrisoned by ihe first artille
ry ; the seconu Pennsylvania, regiment, and
three companies of the first; ihe balance of the
latter being sent back from Perote. Privates
Wilson and Charles Lytle, of the first Penn
sylvania Regiment, are reported as having died
ai Jalapa.
There is nearly eight hundred sick in ihe
hospital at Jalapa.
Among ihe- passengers in the Fashion are
Lieutenants Murray, Kane and Feltmangle, and
James Johnson, Quartermaster's Sergeant of
the Pennsylvania Regiment, with forty sick and
discharged volunteers.
Col. Sowers was a bearer of despatches from
the Government to Gen. Scolt. He left Vera
Cruz with an escort of five men under Lieut
McDonnell, and two more wpfe added at the
town of Santa Fe. The murder was commit
ted two miles beyond Puenta National. The!
driver and one soldier were all' ihat escaped. '
i
Fredericksburg, Va., June 1'4: !
The New Orleans Picayune published an
extra at noon on the 7th in!., containing the
intelligence brought by the arrival of the steam
ship New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, bringing
dates to the 1st inst. She also touched at the
Brazos on the 4th.
Gen. Scott had lefi Jalapa at the head of six
thousand iroops. Gem Twjggs, with his divi
sion, entered Puebla on the 29ih. It was not
positively known what Gen. Scott's intentions
were, but ihe general suppoiiiion was thai he
would advance upon ihe capital -with his pres
ent force.
Accounts from the Capital state that' Santa
Anna resigned the Presidency on the 28ih, but
ii is not known whether Congress had accepted
it or not. . This step was taken by himin con
sequence of the opposition to hit views in rela
tion to the defence of the Capital an well as
the defamatory articles in ihe public prints ol j
Puebla.
The American army was generally expected
to be ai the Capital by the 15th of the present
month, and but a slight resistance anticipated.
Santa Anna had commenced tho formication
of Gaudaloupe in person, and ordered the same jot modern iocoioco patriotism, anu oi tue snau
measures at Mojicatzingo, near the .suburbs, but j by manner in which his own valorous efforts in
this causing general disapprobation, his resigna
lion followed. It was believed ihai it would be
accepted and Ilerrera nominated. The troops
ai the Capital were but three thousand in nuin-
ber.
An exciting 'rumor prevailed a't Vera Cruz, to
the effect that the citizens of Puebla had risen
upon Gen. Worth, and cut oil' six or seven hun
dred of his men. The rumor was in every
man's mouth and much credence was given to
it, though the Picayune's Vera Cruz correspon
dent is sceptical.
The murder of Col. Sours appears to be con
firmed. A wagon master and a Quartermas
ter's clerk, supposed to have been murdered
between Camargo and Mowterey, are now as
certained to bo prisoners in (ho city of Mexico.
Suspicions are entertained at J.ilapa that an
attempt will be made to retake that place.
Further robberies have taken place-bet ween
Vera Cruz and Jalapa, and the llaneheros be
tween those points are esiimatedcat 500.
A rffc'ate letter from Jalaoa states that Col. I
etter Irom Jalapa states tnai v.oi
Lawrence, a bearer of despatches, and one l
his escort had been killed on the road 1 his j
report originates probably through mistake ; ;
Col. Sours' murder is no doubt alluded to.
There are later dates from Gen. Taylor's
army, but very litile of importance. The Mas
sachusetts regiment had started for Monterey.
Lt. Col. Wright had been elecied to ihe vacant
colonelcy; Major Abbot chosen Lieut. Cul., and
Capt. Webster Major of the regiment.
Part of Col. Doniphan's force had arrived at
Saltillo, and the remainder was expected in a
few days. A speedy movement by Gen. Tay
lor towards San Luis was still anticipated.
About 800 officers and men came passengers
in the steamship from Vera Cruz and the Bra
zos. Major Hammond, U. S. Paymaster, died on
the passage-.

Rcaiirsa from the Campaign.
The Tennessee Regiment, under Col. Camp
bell, which, one year ago, marched to Mexico
wiih nine hundred men, relumed last week to
New Orleans, after being engaged at Monterey
and Cerro Gordo, with just three hundred and
jlfty about one third the force with which it
left. And ihis loss it has sustained in a twelve
month's campaign. Disease made as much
havoc in their ranks as the bullet.
A Scene in tiic Schuylkill.
The North American of the 9ih inst. S3ys
A man by the name of Rvxixger attempted
vfisterdav afternoon to convey himself, a la
j j - .
magnetic telegraph, across ihe Schuylkill river.
The wire was stretched, the crowd was duly
gathered, and lined the bank of the river in hun
dreds women and children, as usual, occupy
ing the from rank. One after another, ihe close
packed omnibuses deposited their living cargoes,
until several thousand people had disembogued
upon the scene of action. The hotels and
drinking shops (for whose benefit in connection
with ihat of the omnibuses, ii is said the affair
was gotten up,) were crowded, and immense
quantities of liquor were swilled and guzzled
by the thirsty spectators.
At length, after a " wait" which would have
done honor to a theatrical star of the first mag
nitude, Mr. Ryninger appeared, dressed harle
qninwise. He mounted ihe wire with a hesi
tating step, and when about one-third across,
his slippery bridge broke down and he was
precipitated into ihe river. Nothing cooled,
however, by the splendid ducking, the wire
was mended and ho started garn. This lime
ho made better progress; and the excited crowd
were just about congratulating themselves upon
the possession of a new lion, when tho temer
iious adventurer lost his balance, and fell a sec
ond time into the river, striking his shoulder
against the boat that kepfalong beneath him, in
his descent, and receiving a somewhat severe
injury. So you see thai ihe magnetic telegraph
is not yet brought to' perfeciion, as it is in ihe
habit ol losing small packages entrusted to it.
After this choice folly, Mr. Rvnixger depart
ed in a very unsatisfactary frame of mind, while
the foolish crowd went about its business with
a considerable large flea in its ear.
At iho Baltimore races, a few days since,
there was a hard and very close contest between
Fashion and Passenger. The purse was $500,
and the distance three miles and repeat. The
first heat was won by Passenger in 5.49 ; ihe
second by Fashion in 5.51 ; the third was de
cided by the judges to he a " dead .heat," and
had to be repeated. It was won by Fashion,
though very close, and decided ihe contest.

Decidedly Kscla.
Most of our readers will recollect that some
what famous knight of Locofocoisin, John I. Al
len, who flourished his lance so conspicuously
in the cause of Polk Dallas Shunk, while
editor of the Wayne County Herald a few years
ago, having since been editor of the Easton
Sentinel for a while, has got back to Honesdale,
where he has issued a Manifesto in the Dem
ocrat of that, place giving an amusing exposo
ihe cause have been rewarded by his party.
We give the cream as follows:
It is now nearly six years since I began pub
lishing the Herald, anir'a large number of my
locofoco subscribers have noi yet paid me tho
first red cent ; $1500 are still due me for thj
Herald, and over $500 for the Eas'on Sentinel :
not one of them is unable to pay the small sum
duo me: by withholding so much, so long, they
have made me poor: if I try to collect by duo
course of law, they turn upon me and are not
only ready to swear ihey never took ihe 'Herald,
but abuse me for trying to c-ollecl a newspaper
account !
And some even hare ihe impudence to charge
me vtith having turned whig, because I will not
advocate the re-election ol 1 Old Shunk,' who
rewarded me so handsomely for my untiring ef
forts for him in ISM, not only by denying mo
the tritliiii;, unsought -for office of Deputy Attor

will show the same zeal in 1847 ihat t did in
1844 for Old Shunk, must have ajiigheropmion
of my disinterested zeal in the cause of locufo

observed that ihe political zeal of these men ri

become fair or cloudy for office. These things
have never influenced me in the lea-st, for I

support of this admiiMs'rauon ; but for Shunk
to step out of his way to do an act of extra,
meanness alike uncalled for and undignified,
towards one of his best political friends, to re
venge my advocating Judge Eldred's nomina
tion for Governor in 18 14, and perhaps parily
to gratify a small-beer resentment of a lew of
his aggrieved partizanso of this county, which
act consisted in appointing a second Notary
here in the confident expectation, no doubt, that
our little whig Bank would at once take the pro-
testing business out of my hands, (which n did
not do) : this made me mad, because it was
an act of injustice, ingratitude, and meanness,
without a redeeming qualification. There may
be some kinds of baseness which are nubly uti-
dergone, but such an act I am sure is not one
of them ! 1 cannoi: therefore, for ihts and some
other reasons which 1 may state hereafter, sup
port Francis R. Shunk for Governor a second
lime ; I shall not only vote against him, if 1 live
and am able to get to the polls, but shall say,
write, and da all against him, that leisure and
opportunity will allow ; that is, unless the par
ty do me justice, by paying me for the Herat J,
such of them ashave not, and also for the ex
tra printing 1 did for it in 1844 to the amount
of one hundred dollars, for which I .have re
ceived ten dollars from Win. H. Dimmick, Esq ,
and a dollar each from-ihree or four other gen
tlemen. When they pay me up for what 1 have
done, I may do something more for the party ;
or at least stand neutral in this campaign.
I am. not a whig yet, but I feel sometimes a
pretty strong drawing ihat way ; for one is na
turally inclined lo unite and act with those who
use him best, and pay best. The whigs, not
withstanding the 4 hetchellings' I ,have given
them, have not only paid me up ud a man for
ihe Herald, but have treated me with a gener
osity, forbearance, and respectful consideration,
especially of late, which I had no right to look
for at their hands ; and which, together with
tho ill-treatment I have received from Old
Shunk, and the Locofoco party, with a few hon
orable exceptions, has, I confess, dampened
the ardor of my Locofocoisin, and almost trans
formed me into a neutral ; especially as regards
Old Shunk. If the Loco'focos indebted to me,
will walk up lo the Captain's Office and settle
soon, the now smothered fires of my Locofoco-
ism may blaze oui again, if not the whigs urr
have the satisfaction of seeing the Locofot.s
' hetchelled' as bad, (if not worse) than tha
were in 1844. Some things can be done as
well-as others. Politics, like every ihing else,
in ihe religious, moral and intellectual world,
has become a mere question of dollars and cents.
Men preach, wrile, spout, bawl, toil, and work
in every vocation of life for those who pay most
and pay beBt ; and I see no earthly reason why
I should stand alone, a single fiat among so
many sharpsor sharpers, rather.
