Xeffersonian republican Thursday, March 22, 1849. Our Future Prosperity. 'It is gratifying to observe, says the Daily News, that with the change in the Administration of the 'Government the whole country feels a quickened confidence in relation to future business affairs. Not oven the adherents of the out-going Adminis tration express any apprehension that the new pol icy will be disastrous, either to mercantile, manu facturing, or general business interests. Mostxp tportunely, the state of things in England, ul this moment, comes in nid of our hopes and purposes at home. IVcxt Mayor of IVew York. It is stated that Horace Greeley, editor of the &ew-York Tribune, will probably be elected the nest Mayor of New-York. A better choice could not be made; He is a man among men above he smiles and frowns of all. Wholesale Destruction! - The most horrible story of wholesale murder arson and suicide we have ever heard of, is re ported from Warren, Bradford county, last week. It is said that a man named Corbin of that town ship, on Saturday night last, after putting his cat tle, horses, waggon, &c. in his barn, set fire to it and then cut the throats of all his family (except ing a girl who escaped) set fire to his house, cut his own throat, and all burned up together. Great Leads The Clyde Telegraph says that a load of wood containing ten cords was brought into that village last week upon the plank road, drawn by. two hor ses. It had to be divided into ten uvo-horse loads in, distributing it about the village, after leaving the plank road. Pardon. President Polk, among his last official acts gran ted an unconditional pardon to James Billean, a youth aged 16, who plead guilty in the United S. Court to a charge of robbing the mail. The lad was employed at the Newburgh post office to deliver letters at Canterbury, and purloined one containing a $10 bank note. A Hard Law. . In Savannah, Geo., a merchant commencing bu siness, has to deposit with the authorities of the city a sura of $500. Should he fail in his mer chandizing, he forfeits the $500. Premium Cow. ' The famous fat cow "Rose," belonging to Mr. Robert Fowler of Batavia, N. Y. was slaughtered on the 3d inst. her gross weight being 2,280 lbs. Important Invention. We learn from the Easion Whig, that William Snell, of Bethlehem, has invented a new and in genious machine for which he has obtained a pa tent. It forms ladies and gentlemens gaiters, half gaiters and short boots without seams, at the same time producing any size required, in all their pro portions, so as to fit with the greatest nicety and exactness. The machine will form any of the ma terials in general use: such as patent leather, calf, kip, men's morocco, split leather, or any thing woollen. It dispenses with the knowledge of boot cutting and more than half the binding. Such is the simplicity that any person unacquainted with" the business can use it. We are informed it will reduce patent leather boots to one third of their usual cost. A full description of the machine will be given at some future time. ILocofeco Hatred of Corporations. The Stale of Missouri is governed exclusive ly by Locofocos. The Whige have never had the control of a single department of the Gov ernment. Hence the anti-corporation parly have had full power to carry out their tTewB and develops their policy. Well, let us see what they hare arrived at. The St. I,puis Organ; a lbcofocd paper, has the following paragraph : Mammoth Mining Company. We are glad to state that one braoch of our Legislature has passed a bill to incorporate the Mammoth Mi ning Company. This-bill incorporates a com pany with a capital of $400,000 for the pur pose of mining, smelting and manufacturing ores, minerals and metals, in the .counties of Jefferson, Washington and Franklin. This company will be the owner of ihe Mammoth lrad in Jefferson county, and other valuable mineral lands, and a heavy capital will be put nun useiui operation in inose counties. If a Whig Legislature in Pennsylvania bad pusted a bill to create such a mammoth corpor ation, locofocoism would have been thrown into hysterics. The incorporation of a cotton mill ;S re'isted with as much wailing as a visit of ihe cholera. ID3 "If you want an affectionate, loving' wife, choose -a thin, lean','raw.-boned gal" You'irbej nearer her heart." so says the editor of the Yan kee Blade, and it's generally believed that lie Knows. aH.about such thincs.

C" From, the New York Tribune., , Curious Case off Attempted Extortion. Officers Bowyer, Reed and Cole, of thc'Chiefs office on Tuesday night last arrested .Franklin G. tj r n -f .it - a ,tv i o 1 1 Bragg of 6 Morton-st. and Isaac A. 'Biggs ol 31 i Morton-st. under the following circumstances It appears that for some time past VYm. B. Astor, Esq. of 31 Lafayette-place has received several letters of a very extraordinary nature, and demand ing from him $50,000 in cash, and that in default of which his life and property would be sacrificed. These letters were signed in the name of E. K. Basswood, and directing that the money should be given on a certain day at the house of Mr. Astor. Mr. Astor not complying with the requirements of the first letter two others were written and direct ed to Mrs. Astor stating that if the money which had been demanded of Mr. Astor did not come to hand by 10 o'clock of the morning of the 13th inst. the threats which had beeti-mado would be , put into execution. Mr. Astor filially becoming con vinced that, something might arise from these threats consulted the Chief of police, .on the sub ject, who advised him to deliver a package at the time designated to the party who should call for it, at the same time he deputed the above named vig ilant officers to watch the proceedings in the mat ter. In accordance With the directions given an advertisement was inserted in the Herald that the person who had advertised for $50,000 could re ceive it by calling upon the person alluded to. On the day of the appearance of the. advertisement another communication, was received by Mr. As tor to the effect that the. "writer of the former com munication would send a person to his house on the morning of the 13th inst. to receive the pack age of money at the same time advised Mr. Astor not to pay any more attention to the subject nor communicate to any one that he had received such communications, nor in any other manner attempt to discover the writer. On the morning of the I3th, while the officers were stationed in the vicinity of Mr. Astor's house, Franklin G. Bragg called upon Mr. Astor for a package, and a package of worthless bills was handed him, with which he left, and was followed by the officers to a grocery store at the corner of. CliflF and Fulton Sts. where officer Bowyer accosted him and asked him some questions in relation to the pa'ckage he had in his possession. He teplied that it was a package he had obtained in Lafayette-place, and which he was instructed to leave at the bar of the United States Hotel, addressed to A. R. D. Green, who would call for it in the' course of the evening. He was then told to go and deliver it as directed, and at the same time warned against intimating in any manner that he had been spoken to respect ing it. He accordingly delivered it, and as he left the hotel he was arrested and placed in charge of officer Cole. Officer Reed, after waiting for a short time at the hotel, observed Biggs approach the bar and ask for the package in question, which was handed him, and with which he left, followed by officers Bowyer and Reed through several streets to the Battery, and thence to the corner of Maiden-lane and Broadway where he entered an; omnibus into which officer Bowyer also took a seat and officer Reed on the outside. On arriv ing at the corner of Canal-st. and Brodway, Biggs got out and entered an enchange office hear by. His movements being still watched by the officers, who took him into custody at the corner of Canal and Mercer sts. with the package in his posses sion, and conducted him thence to the Chief's Of fice, where, on searching his person, a letter was found purporting to have been written to him by Basswood, directing him to follow the instructions given in the communication, and that a failure would place his own life in jeopardy . The letter to him set forth that he must go to the United States Hotel and inquire for the package alluded' to, which would contain $50,000 in' bills, and that he must get it exchanged for other money, and send it through the Post Office to a certain address ; and that he must under, no circumstances whatever communicate any information respecting it unless he should get into difficulty, in which case he was at liberty to tell all he knew. Since the arrest of Biggs and Bragg, who. by the way are brothers-in-law, information has been received by the Chief of Police that Mr. Wm. Smith of St. Georges' Manor, L. I had also received similar threatening letters, purporting to be signed by John George Jones, stating that if he did not lend $2,000 to a certain direction his building would be burned1 down. On comparing the communication sent to Mi. Astor; it became evident that they had been sent by the same party and written by the same indi vidual. The accused were committed' for exam ination by the Chief of Police, and if convicted the punishment for the offence is five years imprison ment in the State Prison. The. first principal let ter received by Mr. Astor was dated March 6, 1819; of which the following is a copy : To Mr: William B. Aster, No. 34 Lafayelle-place: Your life depends upon your complying strictly with the .directions of this letter. In the first place,- s 1 1 will give you the cause of your receiving this letter. My Jatner was a mechanic and was a partner with your father from 1814 to' 1817, in the manufacture of spurious coin for trading in the In dian trade. This coin was used in those coun tries. 1 hold all the statements made and all the particulars and instructions given my father, and the amount manufactured, as was set foah by his account and memorandums signed by my father and hi.s brother.. The whole amount manufactured was $2,800,000, the average cost of which ;vvas SlfiO to tlie $1,000 ; and your father furnished the capital to carry on the business with, to the amount of $20,500. Tlie first shipment wai-made in the ater part qf 1814 ; the amount, shipped this tirhe was $3(5,000. In tlie commencement of 1815 tljey shipped $27,000. In July of the same year, they shipped $00,000, and frbm thai timd till Novem bery i817irthe whole -amount hipped including urn n-Lu. - - , M- w -r-n rpii T, r t ir r 1 1 ii rrrtnr i h in t mi ai i m i ljjMimmilaLjuui hi i i i i I i 'm,i i "i -, I. i . ; , i. n cmn nnn ;A II tne auova meuuoneu sums, waj vouuivv. the transactions, were done by your father, oxrept the maimfacturing'ofthe cbin .and that was done bv mv father and uncle. The whole that was re- ceived by my father amonnted to only $198,000 for their expenditure and support leaving a bal- ... V , ... . ds oVWfi02.000-out of which my lather and uncle were to have received one -sixth part, leavinn the amount due them $433, 833, without interest and the profits that were made in the business. .Besides, my father made i a statement every month of the amount manufac tured and expenditures and remarks upontne sche dule, with all the particulars, and signed his name to it; and my uncle also signed the same papers and sealed them ,up" and put; them into the hands of their sister, so that in case of any detection or clue to the nature, of- their business they would not be discovered. In October, 1817, your father wanted my uncle to,go, to Philadelphia to purchase materials, for the coin, as" my undo was a good iudfie of the articles they wanted. On the night of their arrival in Philadelphia", my uncle was taken sudden! ysick and died before 8 o'clock on the fol lowing morning. Physicians, pronounced him to have been poisoned. This induced my father to quit the businness, us he had been long in it and had been successful. It was agreed by your father and my father to quit at the end of-18 17. At this time your father was generally supposed to be worth $1,500,000, while my father was supposed to be worth from $10,000 to $15,000. At this time my father wished to purchase some real es tate amounting to $17,000. Your father thinking that it might, create some surprise or suspicion as to my fathers ability, advised the buying ofit him self in His own name. It was accordingly done with the understanding that after they had sus pended their manfacfacturing business in the ear ly part of 1818 your father would give my father the title to the property.. Your father holding the proceeds of their business, he paid for the real es tate out of those proceeds. On the 18th of Decem ber, 1817, my. father was also taken sick.-and on the 20th he died, similar to my uncle. Up to this time my father had left the full particular of all the transactions of his business, and in his last account he set forth the real estate above men tioned. He also stated all the particulars as to their settlement that was to have taken place on the 1st of January, 1818. This was the last ac count that 'I. have any knowledge of his keeping. Previous to his death he informed his wife, my mother, that he had placed certain papers in his sister's hands and instructed her not to call for them or have them opened until Sir. John Jacob Astor came to see her and inform her that they had unsettled business between them, and in case he, Astor, did not communicate this to her, then she was to ask him if there was any business be tween them that was unsettled. He also instruct ed her that in case he said there was, to ask him how things stood between them as to money mat ters, and to get his statement; and if he did not show a large balance m my father s favor; then see what he did show, and ask him what the na ture of the business was and hovy it was that there was. not a large amount coming to us : and if his account did hot appear satisfactory, then to go to my father's sister and . get all the papers which had been left with her,, and examine them and make use of them in such a way as ray mother thought, proper. Now, sir, your father never gave my mother any information respecting my father's affairs, and according to his directions my mother called upon your father for the information spoken of, but your father gave her no satisfaction. My mother therefore went and got the papers and ex amined them, arid was" astounded, and did not know what course to pursue, but finally conclu ded to let the whole matter remain, rather than to expose the business to the world until I became of age, which was in 1826. My mother then com municated to me the nature of the business, and gave me the papers, and told me all in relation to my father's death. After I had examined the pa pers, 1 said that there had been foul play, and that John Jacob Astor had caused my father's death, and. also my uncle's, and that I would have satis faction. Soon afterward I secured the papers and called, upon your father, and spoke to him concern ing the information l.had received, not stating how. He looked at me with astonishment, and appeared to say within himself that my lather was not dead, and asked me where I got my informa tion from. I informed him that that knowledge he could not obtain from me. He said that he held no. property that ever belonged to my father, and that if he had held it he would have given it up to my mother. He said, however as you and your mother appear to think that I have property of yours, 1 will give you $10,000 to commence business with for yourself, as I hava always had a high regard for your father, if that amount will be satisfactory ro you both. I told him about the bu-! siness generally, and said that 1 would consult with my mother about it. I did so, and received the 10,000. In the year 18271 commenced busi ness, and in 183 1 my business had increased to1 $160,000 ; but in 1832 I failed, owing my to busi ness being too largely extended and the existence of the Cholera- It took all my property and all that my mother received to settle with my credit ors, at 70 cents on the dollar. I then applied to your father for farther aid ; he said, 11 No, all busi ness between us is settled." Very well, said I. 1 was about leaving, when he asked me how much 1 wanted orexpected. 1 repliedthat 1 wanted satis faction and would have it. At that moment 1 met you coming in the office. Your father asked me to wait. I said, no I will settle it in another way and left him. And from that time I have been de termined to have satisfaction, and every exertion has been made to accomplish that object ; 1 have furnished you and your relations with tenants and servants and everything is now ready to cause the immediate' death of yourself and family and destroy a large amount oi your property, and it is entirely out of the power of this community to de tect or apprehend the why or wherefore, or to ob tain any evidence that will prevent what is set forth and will take place, unless the following is complied with in .strict accordance with the direc tions. Now, sir, you are strictly forbidden giving any information to any one in relation to receiving this letter or investigating this matter1, and also asking arty questions of any one for information as it will ,be of no use to you or any one-else while you live, as 1 'am lnumate wiui you and your family and your relatives, and 1 shall know of it in case you do, apd you will only kiiovv the, result by seeing and feeling the consequences,' which yill be too late to recall. "Now, sir, rhy demands of you are as follows- : On Tuesday morning, March 6, 18-19, 1 wish you to 9tandfat: ydUr office door on the out side, with a well sealedtpackage containing $50, 000. in current fqnds. of this , city; in bills of from !?on to yo00. nonelaregr. ; And at the time above mentioned a person -will call upon you and ask if.this is Mr. Astor..

Another letter was received by Mr. Aatnr, i, a disguised hand; purporting to be one of his ten ants, setting forth that $200'had been ottered for permission to burn the house which he occupied suggesting the idea that it would be easy for iheta to go to Williamsburgh and take any thing wjtj, them they might think proper and be absent during the destruction of the premises, ahd;' cautionm them also against some design that was on foot lo injure him and destroy his property. i ED3 Shameful!

During ihe presidential campaign it was uhown that Gen. Cass had pocketed upwards of $130,000 of the people's money under cover of extra pay for constructive services. 'J he old croney seems determined to contin ue the same game. Being recently re-elected U. S. Senator to fill the vacancy created by hi own resignation in June last, he repaired 10 Washington, and although he was ihere sera days before the adjournment of Congress, ha did noi take his seat until after 9 o'clock the last night of the session. By doing this he secured pay for that day and mileage for thit session of the Senate which commenced on iha following Monday a sum uxneediriii TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! Who can doubt the patriotism of old Black Cockade. Important Iiscovery Mr. A. D. Fish, of New York, is exhibiting his patent metallic coffin in the rotunda at iho Capitol. He has proofs of his ability to ;re serve the dead for any desired time or purjio-e, without decomposition nr shange of feature, and at a very simple and trifling expense. For those who desire the preservation of their de ceased friends at a distance from home, or for vaults, or ordinary interment, this promises 10 be a valuable invention, and worth an exami nation. Had this important invention been discovered during the late Mexican war, it would have been found of invaluable consequence.- Washington Union. Good Advice. Jobn H. Prentiss, in his recent valedictory on retiring from the editorial chair, which hs had filled for FORTk one years, has the follow ing : . "No man should be without a well conducted newspaper he is far behind the spirit of the ago unless he roads one, is not upon equal fooling with his fellow man who enjoys aiich advantage, and is disregardful of his duty to his family, in not affording them an opporiuwyof acquiring a knowledge of what is passing in the world, at the cheapest possible teaching. Show me a family without a newspaper, and I venture to say that there will be manifest in that family a want of amenity of manners and indications of ignorance, most strikingly n contrast wtifi ihe neighbor who allows himself such a rational indulgence. Young men espe cially should read newspapers. If I were a boy, even at 12 years, I would read a newspa per weekly, though I had to work by torchlight to earn money enough to pay for it. The boy who reads well will learn to think and' analyze, and if so, he will be almost sure- to make a ma" of himself, haling vicious indulgence which reading is calculated to beget a distaste fot.u Better Late than Nrver.

A corres pondent of ihe Couripr and Enquirer, writing from Chagres, says : "This is now the dry sea son, but it is not so dry but that it rains every 1 hour."
