Fears are entertainted that they will extend their ravages to the peach orchards, which, if realized, will be of serious consequence. Their Bting is said to be a deadly one, and a few days since, a boy, aged 12 years, was stung by a locust, and died in a few hours afterward. (L? Mosses Y.

H The Locofoco ."papers have been publishing a, falsehood got up by the Pcnnsylvahian, to the ef fect that Gideon J. Ball, the late Whig State Treasurer, exchanged depreciated paper for spe cie funds, at a cost of $4,000 to the Stale, in order to pay the State Interest in par funds. They do this to glorify the present Treasurer, Gen. Bickel, for paying the Interest in par funds. Mr. Ball has put a stopper upon them in the following let ter, which they will be careful not to publish. Washington, Aug. 6th, 1850- Col. J. W. Forney Dear Sir My attention has been called to the article in your paper on the 2d inst. announcing the payment of the "August Interest." I have been too long interested in the credit, prosperity and honor of my native State, not to rejoice in the continuance and preservation of her fame. The success therefore of Gen. Bick el, whom 1 am happy to call my friend, is as plea sing to me as it can be satisfactory to him. Pa triotism enjoins it as the duty of every Pennsylva nia, to cherish with zealous ardor, the honor and interest of the State. This can only be done effec tually by sustaining cordially the officers charged with the maintenance of the public credit. From the performance of this high duty, no considera tions of a political character shall ever deter me. In the article referred to, you say with empha sis, that I "got four thousand dollars just before I went out of office, for expenses in changing mon ey below par for specie funds." If you mean that I received $4000 for my personal use, you do me a great wrong, for I never received a dollar. If, on the othor hand, you mean to convey the im pression that that sum was used in exchanging money below par for specie funds to pay the State interest, then I meet it with an equally firm and emphatic denial, and aver that the interest which fell due on the State debt the first of August, 1849, and first of February, 1850, was paid in specie funds, without one cent of cost to the Common wealth for discount or exchange, nor was there any allowance made for that object, at any time, by any device, or expedient, direct or indirect. While you have my regard, 1 remain your obd't servant, G. J. BALL. Texas and Hfew Mexico A Message from President Fillmore. The President sent a message to Congress on the 6th inst. inrelaiion to the boundary difficulty be tween Texas and New Mexico, the following ab stract of which we find in the telegraphic report of proceedings for the Philadelphia Bulletin : The President alludes to Governor Bell's letter to the Texan members of Congress, published in the Bulletin of Friday, and says that that portion of territory east of the Rio Grande, has been regard ed as belonging to New Mexico. He thinks the ! exigency that has arisen in the affairs of Texas and i X'oiv Mov!fn mn V Tonniro nn orlri cocoinr, nf A-lv IV", 1 kilt Ul I V lilt VrtlU OV-kJ-JiWiJ i Qongre3S He alludes to his officiall position, and his duty, as President, to enforce the laws of the United States. He says he will enforce those laws, and thinks this is a case in which he is authorized to call the militia into service, as well as to employ the forces nf thp rtrnlar nrmv rinfl navv. Tpms . n ctnto can emolov military forces to suppress her own internal insuiections ; but her power is local and she has no authority which can conflict wilh the i u r . i. tt..: i lawb ur Ule "iS1"? ul U1B Ulmeu "- In this case, Texas is an intruder, and she will be treated as such. The President, in his mess age, takes decided grounds that the territory in dispute, east of the Rio Grande, belongs to New Mexico, and for that reason he must protect it from the intrusion of Texas or any other state. He believes the treaty with Mexico extends the laws of the United States over the territory east of the Rio Grande. The treaty does not determine explicitly what is the boundary of Texas, but that is his opinion, after careful investigation He will continue to regard said territory as part of New Mexico, until Congress settles tRe ques tiont to the contrary. He deprecates any collision between the parties , mums-en us ur wiui uie unueu oiaies, oui lie must do his duty, and hopes for an immidiate settle ment. No government can be provided for New Mex ico until that dispute be settled. He doubts the expediency of appointing Commissioners to run the line. All the facts are before Congress and nothing new could be elicited by such Commis- sioners ne regrets me prolongation oi tne contest m Congress to the exclusion of other business, and trusts it will be disposed of before Congress ad journs. Signed, MILLARD FILLMORE VlFIi will be seen that President Fillmore as serts his determination to resist the preposterous ! claims of Texas to the territory of New Mexico, if necessary, by the military force of the country, though he deprecates any collision between the parties. In this he assumes precisely the ground taken by Gen. Taylor. The design of Gen. Tay- I lor was to secure the peace of the country by an 1 amicable settlement of this great question, which is also the design of President Fillmore ; yet his . , 6 . . . , , J J a a 4 A aa.1 A a I La a aa all A I - I M. -a. 7 uuiy is tmar, auu ne win noi suririK irom u. 11 Texas resists the authority of the General Gov ernment, she must be put down by the military force of the country. We have no doubt the bold and noble stand thus taken by the President, in which he will be sustained by the almost unani mous voice of the people, will have a salutary in fluence upon the madmen' and fanatics, (not to say traitors,) of the South. Appointment by the Canal Commis sioners. Gen. A L. Rumfort, formerly a member of the Legislature from Philadelphia county, has been appointed Superintendent of the Philadelphia and Columbia Rail road, in the room of Col. Wm. English. The Philadelphia Bulletin announces the appointment surrounded by black lines, and appends the significant exclamation " God save the Commonwealth !" Discovery of Gold in Oregon. The intelligence from Oregon by last California mail confirms the previous advices as to the dis covery of gold in Oregon of a very superior quali ty, and, as is said, in very great abundance. These mines are about 200 miles from Oregon Ci ty. The efTect of .these discoveries have derang ed all other kinds of business, In a letter from the U. S. District Attorney in Oregon, to the Sec retary of the Interior at Washington, it is said: " That during the last Spring, a number of In dians, from Spoken river, offered for sale at Astora a quantity of black sand, in kegs, supposing it to be the material used in the manufacture of gun powder. The sand was recognised as the same which had yielded very large returns of gold in the washings of Faether River, A quantity of the precious mineral was collected from the specimens. The Indians resisted all attempts to learn from them the iocaltiea in which the sand was found, A larfe party of the inhabitants of Astoria imme diate equipped themselves, and set forth for the banks of Spoken." The most striking developements in relation to the late Locofoco Convention at Wiiliamspoft are daily becoming known. Not only were" the few corrupt individuals from Philadelphia, Messers, Ovenshine and Rankin, engaged in bribing dele gates and using every means of intrigue to secure the success of their favorite candidate, but on the other hand it appears that Israel Painter, "at present a Canal Commissioner, was " on the ground" u sing his utmost endeavors to induce delegates to vote his choice, and. after every other inducement failed offered them appointments on the public works. Thus it appears that BRIBERY was the order of the day at the Williamsport Convention, as well among office holders as others. Every thing taken into consideration it was certainly the most corrupt body that ever convened in Penn sylvania. One of the delegates, a Mr. Abrams, from Philadelphia county, has since been senten ced to four years imprisonment in the penitentia ry, and others accused of bribery and intrigue. In justification of the assertions made in relation to the conduct of Mr. Painter we copy the follow ing affidavit from the Carlisle Democrat (good Locofoco authority) which is published in that pa per of the 1st inst. The editor says the original is in his possession, open to the inspection of all. Read the affidavit : " I, Edward Calvert, one of the Justices of the Peace in and for the county of Lycoming, do cer tify, that Joseph Filler and Hiram Lentz,the Del egates from the county of Bedford to the late Democratic Slate Convention, having been duly sworn on their solemn oaths before me, on the 30th day of May last, did depose and say, that Is rael Painter, one of the Canal Commisionrs of Penna., bad offred each of said deponents an ap pointment worth two dollars per day on the Por tage Railroad, if they would leave Hubley and vote for Strickland. Certified at my office in Williamsport, this 15th day of June, 1850. E. CALVERT, J. P. Snllivan County. The Commissioners appointed to relocate the seat of Justice in Sullivan county, met a few days since and decided in favor of Laporte, the original seat of Justice. (L President Taylor's obsequies at Roston are to be very grand. No expense to be spared. The mourning decorations are to cost $10,000 alone. Mr. Clay has gone to Newport. At Philadel phia he rested over night and a great crowd of persons assembled at his hotel to welcome him, and he was constrained against his wish to go out and make a short speech to them, wHfch he did in the happiest manner. While he was talking an omnibus tried to pass through the multitude, but was stopped. " Ah," playfully exclaimed Mr, Clay, "that omnibus is just like one 1 left a Wash ington it can't get through.' Mrs. Partington, while visiting the Museum the other day, on looking among the old revolutionary relics and Scottish claymores, asked the superin tendent if he had among his famous cutlery the " axe of the apostles." Affairs at Washington. Abduction of Slaves. Washington, August 9. A very great excite ment has been created here by an attempt at the abduction of slaves. It seems that four male slaves, the property of Hon A. H. Stephens and Robert Toombs, Congressmen of Georgia, have been missing for several days. No one knew of lneir whereabouts until last evening, when it was discovered that they had been concealed by cer tain abolitionists. The latter, hearing of the dis covery, determined to take them out of the Dis trict. The poliece, however, had got an inkling of their intentions and started in pursuit. When about four miles from the city, they overtook a carriage containing the four fugitive slaves, in charge of a white man. The party in the car riage fired upon their pursuers, and the fire was re turned. Two men were badly injured. After a slight altercation, a capture was effected of three of the slaves, their white protector and the hack "driver, and they have all been committed to pris on. One of the slaves, belonging to Mr. Toombs, made his escape during the melee. Slave Excitement in Baltimore. Baltimore; August, 9. Five slaves who had lan awav from their owners in Marvlnnd. vvern brought this morning in the cars of the Susque- hanna railroad from rennsylvania. It appears lhat lhere. we.re eleven runaways from different ' lrtlc' a"u , T 1fB"6yv-,""s' learning that they were secreted on the farm of a negro, one mile across the Pennsylvania line, pro ceeded to capture them and succeeded in getting seven of them. In passing through Strasburg, York county, the abolitionists, headed by Postmaster Brown, en deavored to rescue them, and succeeded in getting two of them. In the struggle Brown was knock ed down. The five slaves, lhat remained, were then put in the cars, and senl to this city. While in the cars pistols were fired at the Penn sylvanians. One slave in attempting to shoot his captor, shot himself. The affair produced a great excitement here, as well as all along the railroad. The slaves were lodged in jail this morning' to a wait the arrival of their owners. Diving Dresses. Among the recent, valuable achievements of Science, are Diving Bells, Submarine Armours and Diving Dresses apparatus of different kinds ingeniously adapted to enable a person to descend to a great depth in water with safety. One of these articles we have just seen at the Company's office here, obtained by them to enable one of their mechanics to descend into a pit in the mines ; in thirty feet depth of water, to adjust and regulate the apparatus of their pump works. The head piece is copper, oval and about 14 inches in. diam eter wilh windows in front, and air pipe at the apex attached, of sufficient length to reach the sur face on ground and is there worked by a pump. The accompanying dress is water proof Indian rubber cloth. It is truly an ingenious piece of me chanism. Carbondale Citizen. The immense value of the timber stolen from the United Stales every year may be judged of by the fact that the District Allorney of Michi gan reccrWy reported to the Solicitor of the Treasury, that ho had authorised the Marshal to seize some 12,000,000 of feet of lumbar, sawed and in the log lying at different saw mills it) the Siaje, all laken by trespasser froirj Un cle Sam's land. Foreign News. The Steamer Cambria, with JjiverpooKd.ates to the 27th inst., arrived at Halifax on Tlios day. Breadstuffa. The market is more firm, and better prices have been obtained, flour has advanced 6i per bbl , and Corn, with an anima ted demand, has advanced Is Gd to 3s per quar ter. Wheat has advadeed 2d. The news of the deah of Provident Taylor produced a great sensation in England. The leading journal devoted much space to a re view of his character and exploits, in which they pay a just tribute to hi worih and fame. A laige ineeiiiig of the American citizens in London assembled on Thursday, at whkh the American Minister presided, and passed a ae ries of highly patriotic resolutions expressive of their sense of the great loss iheir coumry has sustained in the death of the President, and of their sympathy with his family. The polmcal news from England possesses no feature of sinking importance. The potatoe rot is said to have reappeared both in England and Ireland Portugal- The Portugese Gorernment hav ing declined to accede to the demands of the American Minister he has demanded his pass ports, and advertised his house hold furniture for sale. The American squadron was siill in the Tagus. Mr. Clay intended to leave Lisbon on the 19th ult. Denmark and the Duchies. Actual hostilities have heen recommenced between Denmark and the Duchies, the latter haiing been declared in a state of blockade by the former, and an ac tion took blace between a Danish man-of-war and the German steamer Bonnel on the 1st inst , in which the former suffered considerable inju ry, and was forced to retire. On the land the hostile armies were, at last dates, face to face ; and as the king of Den mark intends severe coercion, backed by the active support of Russia and Prussia, and the passive support of the other great powers in cluding Eugland, there remains no doubt, but that a severe conflict will ensue. Four Days Later. The Pacific arrived at New York, on Sunday with four days later news from Liverpool, viz., to the 31at ult; Cotton in that time had advan ced an eighth ;o a quarter of a penny per pound; Corn and Wheat had fallen a shilling the for mer on the quarter, and the latter on 70 pounds. The crops are promising in appeareuce. The difficulty between Denmark and the Duch ies is excitidg much attention in England and France. A great battle occurred on the 25th ult., at Id stedt, near Schleswig, which lasted eight hours and resulted in a victory to the Danes, who had 40,000 troops, to about 30,000 Holsteines. About 7,000 mostly of the former were killed. From Russia we have news that a terrible and destructive conflagration has reduced the city of Samora, Government of Simtirsh, to ruins. Thirty-three stone houses, and four hundred and eigh ty-six houses built ol wood have been destroyed. The church the residence of the Ambassador, the municipal and judicial authorities, the prison the hospital, the post office, and one hundred and twenty-six warehouses have been desroyed. Another Horrid ifiurder in Bradford. We learn that a man named Benjamin Wilcox, residing in Towanda Township, Bradford Countv, about two miles from the Borough of Towanda, killed his wife by stabbing her with a pocket knife through the heart, on Sunday afternoon last, at a bout 2 o'clock. Wilcox has been a very intem perate man for many years, although very honest and upright, and to every appearence very humane. His intemperance, however, caused a separation between him and his wife some years since, the latter taking up her residence with some friend not far distant, with her two daughters, and, as ap pears from the circumstances of this tragedy, oc casionally doing some work for him, such as ma king and repairing his clothes, &c. It seems that a few days previous to the murder he had carried some cloth to his wife and requested her to make some pantaloons for him. She as sured him she would do -so, if he would get them cut out ; but as he was often dissatisfied wilh the fit" of his garments she declined cutting them. He then left her, and did not go near her again until Sunday, when he inquired of her if she had made up her mind to cut and make the garment in question. She answered in the negative ; where upon he replied.that he had made up his mind, and immediately drew a knife and stabbed her three limes, one thrust taking efTect in the heart and causing her to stagger and expire within a few seconds. A daughter, who was present and un dertook to interpose had her hand cut quite seri ously. Wilcox then rallied the neighbors living near by, informed them of what he had done, and surrendered himself immediately into the custody of the Depuly Sheirff, who conveyed him forth with to Jail. But the tragedy, soul revolting as it is, ends not here. Scarcely had the Deputy Sheriff and his at tendents turned their faces from the jail door to de part, than the prisoner was discovered by a per son who lingered behind, to be committing self destructiou, with another knife, which he was plun ging rapidly into his own breast. Ingress was im mediately made and the weapon snatched from him, although he had succeeded in inflicting sev eral wounds one of them through one of his lungs which it is thought will prove fatal. He did not, however, fully effect his object, and when the knife was wrested from him we were told he plead in the most beseeching tones to have it returned, that he might make a finish of himself at once. He declared his unalterable determinaiion to kill himself, and he wanted the privalege of completing the deed then, th.it no further trouble might accrue. It is scarcely necessrry to add that his request was not complied with. The above particulars wo obtained from soveral Towanda gentlemen, whom we met on Monday last. Montrose Pa) Democrat, Aug. 1st. Immense Tree. There is an enormons chestnut tree standing in Moreland, Franklin county, Pa. It measures 33 feet in circumference. A few years since, one of the limbs was struck by lightning, and died soon after. The dead limb disfigured the appearence of the tree, and it was cut down. It made over six wagon loads of wood, or about six cords. There are three or four other limbs of about equal size now growing. ILtProfessor Webster, says a.

Susquehanna Register, Money makes the IHare Go. The Rev. Thomas P. Hunt, well known through out the-United Stales as a most effective laborer in the temparance cause, was once lecturing in a small community where one Bill Myers, a sturdy Dutchman, kept av distillery. Six sons assisted him in this spiritual work, and so improved their advantages, that they were already proficient drunk ards the whole familywere arrayed agaihsTtfte movement. Mr. Hunt mounted his platform, and by a few sharp anecdotes and witty sayings, soon silenced all noise except the sturdy Bill Myers. The old" Dutchman kept crying out, 'Mishter Hunt, money, makes the mare go." To every shot which seemed ready to demolish him, the old fellow presenfed the shield. " Mishter Hunt, money makes de mare go." At last, Mr. Hunt stopped and addressed the im perlurable German. "Look here, Bill Myers, you say that money makes the mare go, do you ?" "Yes dat ish just what I say Mishter Hunt." " Well Bill Myers, you own and work adistlle rydon-t youl" inquired Mr. Hunt. " Dat ish none of your business, Mishter Hunt.' But, den, I ish notashamed of it. 1 has got a still, and work it too." 41 And you say, 'Money makes the mare go;' do you mean by that, 1 have come here to get the money of these people!" " Yes, Mishter.Hunt, dat ish just what I mean." "Very well ; you work a distillery to make mon ey, and I lecture on temperance to make- money? and as you say 'Money makes the mare go,' Bill Myers, bring out your mare and I'll bring out mine, and we'll show them together.' By this time the whole assembly was in a titter of delight, and even Myers' followers could not suppress their merriment at the evident embarass ment of their oracle. In the meantime, we must premise that Mr. Hunt knew a large nurnber.of the drunkards present, and among them the sons of Myers himself. " Bill Myers, who is lhat holding himself up by that tree I1' inquired Mr. Hunt, pointing to a young man so drunk that he could not stand alone. The old man started, as if stung by an adder, but was obliged to reply, " Dat ish my son but what of dat Mishter Hunt 1" " Good deal of that, Bill Myers, for I guess that son has been riding your mare, and got throicn, too .'" Here there was a perfect uproar from all parts of the Assembly, and as soon as order was restored, Mr. Hunt proceeded, as he pointed to another son : " Bill Myers, who is that staggering about as if his legs were as weak as potato vines after a frost!" 44 Well. 1 suppose dat ish my son, too," replied the old man, with a crest-fallen look. 14 He has been riding your mare, too, and got a tumble." At this point the old man put up both hands in a most imploring manner, and exclaimed, " Now. Mishter Hunt, if you won't sav any more I will be still." This announcement was received with a roar of applause and laughter, and from that moment Mr. Hunt had all the ground to himself. A Leap Almost Incredible. One of the most extraordinary feats on record was performed on Fiiday evening last, by a small Sorrel Mare, belonging to Mr. Zimmerman, Livery. Stable-keeper, in Minersville. Lebbeus Hughes, son of E. Hughes, Esq aged about 12 years, was riding the Mare, when she became frightened and ran away with him ; she ran up the Railroad to where it crosses Wolf creek just above the shop of Mr. De Haven, at which point the plank had been removed from the Bridge for a space af a bout 25 feet. Here as if fearful of attempting the leap, she stopped suddenly for a moment, and then gathering all her energies, cleared the space at a single bound. We would hardly believe such a feat possible, had it not been witnessed by several persons who immediately measured ihe distance jumped, and found it to be twenty-seven feet 1 Neither horse nor rider were injured by the won derful exploit. Potlsville Emporium, 8th inst. Treason Abroad. New Southern Confederacy : The Washington correspondent of the Cour ier and Inquirer stales, upon indubitable ouihor ity, that a Southern gentleman visited Mexico, incog, last April, and proposed to the people of that Republic, the plan of a Southern Confede racy. The project was brought before tho Mexican cahinet, the leading incentive urged for their co-operation being lhat the city of Mexico would probably be selected aa the enp itol of the new organization. After some dis cussion, it was finally declined. The unknown traitor soon after left for California. President Taylor is said to have known it, and thai he had already taken measures to present any in jurious consequences. DIVISION ORDERS. HEAD QUARTERS, 6th Div., P. V.
