YELLOW YSTEII AT Nnw Ont,n,uls.—Yester ;
.day brought us four mails from New. Orleans.
The papers of that city contain but gloomy
accounts of the epidemic which is now raging
there. During the week ending the 81st of
July, there were 692 deaths of yelloW fever,
shoWing an increase of 62 per cent over the_
week previous, when the deaths from the same
disorder were 492. Among the late deaths is
that of the financial "editor of the Picaitine.
'The fever is of a frightful, type, and the met ,

OCEAN RAIDING.
A bet has lately been offered of $lO,OOO,
that the Arabia will beat the Arotio in two
'mews out of three. It is probable that the
bet el be taken up by the Collins' Line. It
is said, likewise, that the Paoifie and Arabia
aro to make an immediate' trial of their speed.
These beta and offers will go on until a terrifio
ocean - steamboat - accident shall stop - them - by
spreading a gloom over the whole community.
The N. Y. Commercial very properly advises
the underwriters to refuse to insure those yes
eels when such bets are pending.
LANDING Of Tut PILGILIDIS.—The ' two hun
dred and thirty-third anniversary of this event
was celebrated on Monday week, in Plymouth,
Mass., with unusual spirit._ An immense
number of New Englanders from all parts of
the country, gathered upon the occasion to
that venerable town. A chit and military
procession itaraded through the streets, and
a banquet took place in a large pavilion erected
for the purpose. The Governor of Massachu
setts, and many other eminent gentlemen were
present, and the Hon. Edward Everett and
others delivered eloquent speeches. We will
probably publish an extrantifrom the latterin
our next.
*The-- Democratic -oounty meeting 'of

nominees of the Democratic State ticket. A
-motion was made-to-strike die -name-of-Mr.
Bromley front the resolution, and after a warm
discussion it beooming evident the motion
would be earned, the resolution was withdrawn.

Ma. The Ashland District of Kentnoky,
the home of Henry Clay, having been carried
by the Looofeao candidate for Congress, an
investigation is in progress as to thi means
used, and the result, thus far, is the conviction
that' great frauds were perpetrated to accom
plish it. Men were sent into the district from
all directions to yeti,. and the aggregate num
ber of votes polled is, hi many places, far
beyond anything known'there before.

general that G. A: Mars, the Whig candidate
for Governor,'lms heen' elected over Andrew
,Johnson, Democrat.
In this district Zolliooffor (Whig) is elected
to Congress.
Amon, August, 6.—The result of the
congressional election In this State, es far as
'ascertained, is as follows: In the third district
Aeho (Dem.) is elected. In the eecond district
Rollin (Dem.) elected. In the fourth district-
Rogers (Whig) elected, by 69 majority, over
Venable and Lewis, (Derr,) This is a Whig
gain.
Col., Winston, democrat, is no doubt elected
Governor, over Earnest, whig, who also re
ceived the.temperance vote. The election for
th‘e Congressional delegation, as far . as heard
from, indicates the choice of Sampson W.
Harris, democrat, in the 3d district, over S.

crat, in tho 6th; W. R. Cobb, democrat, in
the 6th, over Clement C. Clay, Jr., and James

whig, in the 7th. Abercrombie, whig, is
probably elected in. the 2d district, over Clop-:

For yeampast the Whigs'of this State have
urged the sale of the publio improvements, and
we are rejoiced to perceive indicationi now in
the ranks of Locofocoisni of oo•operation in
support of this measure. At the Locofoco
meeting in Berke county last week. Hon. Hen
ry A. Muhtenberg and Hon, William Strong,
both took strong ground in favor of the men—
sun, and though opposed by others, had suffi
cient influence to carry the meeting with them,
and secure the adoptton of the following reso
lutions:
Resolved, That PAST EXPERIENCE IMO shown
the absolute necessity of the Democratic party
insisting strenuously upon the practice of
RIGID ECONOMY in both State and General
governments, thereby preventing that LAVISH
EXPENDITURE, which, if carried on, bids fair
to enguiph both Government and pooplo in a
COMMON RUIN.
Resolved, That we cannot approve of the
large and in some oases EXTRAVAGANT appro
priations made by the Legislature for the poet
two years, and that the commend the Conduct
of our Senators and memberain opposing them ;
and instruct their successors to pursue the
same course, for *o hold it to be a well settled
principle, that we State debt should not be
INCREASED for any cause whatever except that
of national defence.
,Reaolved, That we approve of the project of
an IMMEDIATE BALE OP ALL TUE PUBLIO WOUES
now owned by the Commonwealth; - inasmuch
as pea experience has shown that it is UTTER
LY 'IMPOSSIBLE to_ 'have them was. and nos—
ZSTLY managed whilst in the 'hands of the
State, beanies - their sale -would .reader a . ro-•
action of taxation possible, and because we
believe that their retention in the hands of the
State is exerting a prejadioial effect upon the
morale not only of the-Legislature, but_oLthe
people of the Commonwealth, and that there
fore our Senator and Representatives are
hereby instructed to introduce or support an
not providing for such sale.
PORTAGE RAILWAY CONTRACTS
Tho Crawford Democrat of July 7th, pub
lishes a communication from George Merri
man, Esq., a Locofoco member of ,the last
Legislature from that county, in which ho
exposes the manner in which the Portage ,
Railway contracts were given out by the Canal
Commissioners; and presents the singular
fact - that - in - every one of the - twenty-five con ,
tracts awarded, the highest bidder was selected.
The number
. of these contractors, who are
members of Governor Iligler's cabinet, legis
lators, political wire -workers, &0., the
next Legislature may doom it advisable to in
quire.
MOVEMENT OF 711 E U. S. TROOPS co VIE
Rio GRANDE.—The home correspondent of the
Washington Republic mentions a report that
the Administration is making preparations to
put itself in condition to negotiate for another
strip' of Mexican territory, and that all the
disposable force of the army, not needed
elsewhere, will be concentrated upon the Rio
Grande, at an early day. Some twelve or
fifteen hundred additional.troops will man the
poets on our Mexican boundary as soon as
they can be detailed from their present stations
in Texas, or on the Atlantic border. The
correspondent adds:
I venture the prediction that it will not be
many months orq we have a now Mexiatui
boundary, running far below the Mesilla, and
marked by a mountain range for much of the
distance. If obtained fairly, and if no More
is obtained than is necessary to give us a
boundary such as we can defend against the
Indians from within, or more civilized enemy
from without, the scheme will find many ad
vocates among those who have heretofore
"Wen opposed to territorial acquisition. Every
body knows that the present boundary lino is
utterly indefensible.
'The present Secretary of War, when the
Mexican treaty was under disousamn in-the
Senate, earnestly and wisely contended for a
:mountain boundary, urging that we could
readily defend its passes; while the boundary
proposed, and agreed upon finally, would -re
quire a great standing army for its proper
defence. The result - has proved the wisdom
of the position be then.assumed, and I do not
doubt he will use his influence now to correct
the evil as soon as Santa Anna wants money
bad enough to sell. •
gerA good joke happened at Lanaaator the
other day. It aoems that Dr. F. A. Mahlon
berg, of that city, left his hate, suuroarriage
standing near the railroad 'while ho went into
a house to see: a patient. A train arriving
meanwhile, two men got out of the cars,,jump
ed into the vehicle and drove off. Soon atter
officers were started in pureuit of the supposed
thieves. They found the carriage and-horse
hitched at Wheatland, the residence of lion.,
James BuOhanan. It turned out that the Cue
peoted persons were ,two distinguished deter.
crate, who with J: Porter Brawly, and several
others, were on,e'visit to , Pennsylvania's fa

which injured eomowhat the prospects of the

FOUR DAYS LATER
The steamer Baltic arrived at New York on
Sunday, with four days later advices from
Europe. The Turkish difficulty was consid
ered as settled. Although the Czar's accep
tance of the proposal of Francynd England
had not been received, it was daily expecled.
The vanguard of the Russians entered Bucha
rest on July 16th. Everything was quiet in
the principalities. The Costa affair was in
data quo. The St. Louis had left Smyrna.
Two Austrian frigates had arrived there. .
The crops in England and Ireland were
generally good. There was no potato rot.
Breadetuffs had made another advance in
price. Thelndia mail had arrived in London,
bringing dates to the 20th of, Tune. The
Chinese Empire had been divided and Nankin
declared independent of the Tartar dynasty.
At Canton groat anxiety was felt and appro.
hensions entertained of a rising of the peo
ple.
INTERESTING FROM CIIINA.
By the steamships from England last week
we learn that the Overland Indian Mail arrived
in London on the 18th. The London Times
publishes adviees from China to the 14th May,
but no mercantile letters have boon received.
The news is of the most curious and import
ant character. The 'British war steamer
Hermes had returned from the seat of tl re
bellion. Nanking was reported to be in a
state of ruin, while the whole district was in
a state of anarehy. The rebels Were in posses-
sion of Nanking and Chiokiang,
, which they
wore strongly fortifying,-and were-waiting for
reinforcements from the South previous to
marching upon Pekin. The insurgents had
raised the banner of Christianity. Tho Im
perial party, however, 'are not by any means
despairing. They gird themselves with great
energy to prosecute the war, and have already
purchased a number of foreign vessels, which
bad been sent up the river to them before the
middle of May.
The British ship Hermes had returned from
a-voyage ref discovery into the interior, and
Sir George Bonham had brought back from
his eventful trip the most astounding intelli
gence respecting the character of the insurg
ents. He describes them as Christians of the
ProleStant order, acknowledging but one God,
in three persons-:-tho Father, Jesus Christ the
Saviour;" and tho Holy Spirit. Their chief
forbids the application to himself of the terms
" Supreme," " Holy," &0., on the groutid-that
they belong to God alone._
_Their moral code
is the Ten Commandments. The Bible, trans
lated_ into their tongue, is in. common use.
Their leaders aroj:Tiot Only profeSsors roll
glen, but give evidences of the - possession of
vital' piety. Their notions of the Moral-au-.
ertunent 'of die universe accord precisely with
the doctrines of evangelical-Christians in Eu
ropa and America. They not only profess,
but seem to believe, that Deity is ever present
with them. In their reverses, He tries their
faith. When they Succeed, it is all of His
grace. Their enemies charge them with the
employment of magic. They reply that their
only' magic is prayer. They say that their
Prince will be the Sovereign of China, if it is
God's will; if it is not, there they will die.
They show much, ignorance of foreign nations ; .
though their religious belief no one can doubt
is the result of the instructions of the-.Pro
teatant Missionaries. All accounts agree that
the highest style of morality is required in
their camp. Profanity, obscenity, and immo
rality of all - sorp3, - at - T - tong them was extremely
rare. Indeed, their requirealents in these
respects aro so strict, that for this reason,
many who would otherwise join their standard
stand aloof. They aro disposed to regard all
foreigners with friendliness, in consistence
with the teaching of their religion.
This is very strange indeed. That among
the queued Celestials a new race of Puritans
should spring qp, to war upon the ancient
dynasty, basing their conduct upon questions
of right and wrong," invoking the God of
Christians when they go out to battle, loath
ing idol-worship, insisting upon a high stand
ard of morality in rebel camp and court—iiiis
is among the greatest marvels of a marvel
abounding age. Every now item will be
awaited with interest. Our curiosity is thor
oughly aroused. Our sympathies aro excited.
We strain our eyes towards the extreme East
with intense eagerness, to see more - the
wonderful events that aro there transpiring.

Sat!deli Death
The death of Mr. Alarms Z6IGLER, of this
borough, occurred very suddenly: on Sunday
night last—Ele went to bed at (lie usual hour,
apparently in good health, making no com
plaints of any sickness: At, a late hour in
tho night his-wife was awakened by the vio
lence with which ho threw his arms about.
Fearing that something was the matter she
arOscrand lighted a lamp, with which she re.
Wined to the bed and to her deep distress and
aStonishment found him in a dying condition.
In a few Inoments,he expired without speaking
a word. Mr. Z iegler was a respectable citizen
of the plans, of large family connexion in the
(rioinity, and at. the time of his death we be
lieve wps engaged as a conductor on the rail
road.
LOCO FOCO NOMINATIONS.
Our opponents hal an unusually warm time
yesterday making their nominations. The
number of aspirants for the prominent places
was large, and the claims of each were vigor
ously contested.
For the Senate the names of L. Todcl,'Esq.,
of Carlisle,ill Ahl, of Monroe, James Chest.
nut, of Soallrimpten, George H. Bucher, of
Sliver Spring, David Wherry, of Hopewell,
and John 1110 ore; of Dickinson, were presented.
It took "five ballots to decide he matter. On
the fourth. ballot Ahl, and Wherry were it tie—
on the fifth Wherry succeeded by a majority
of one. Ile is consequently declared the
choice of Cumberland, and it Is presumed will
be accepted by Perry county.
For .eirsemb/y,'Jackson McKee, ono of the
former members, was unanimously re-nomina
ted, and Henry . Moser, of Lisburn, noini
nated.as his colleague. Mr. Moser boat Hen
ry M. Anderson, of Silver Spring, on the first
ballot—the vote standing Moser 26, Anderson
'a.
For Commissioner, Messrs. James Armstrong,
Andrew Kerr, Samuel. Wetzel,. A. ' Dehuff,
Robert Allison, David Sipe and Mr. Treger, all
of Ca , lisloovere before the Convention. No
choice was malip on the first and second ballots.
On the third ballot Armstrong had 24 and
Kerr 20. Armstrong was declared duly
nomi
nated.
For Treasurer,"Messrs. Moses Bricker, of
Monroe, Edward Shower, N. W. Woods, Adam
Sensoman, Peter Monyer, David Smith, and
Dr. Harman, of Carlisle, were before the Con
vention. .The contest, after the first ballot,
was principally between Wood and Shower,
and resulted. on the third ballot in favor of
Wood, he having 29 votes and Shower 15.
For Proeecuting Attorney, John W. B.heater
received on the first ballot 28 votes, Henry
Wolf 9, and Carson C. Moors 4 votes. Mr.
Shearer was declared duly nominated. TLe
remaining nomintions were then made ds
follows ^
DireotOrlf"the%Poor—Jobn C. Brown, of
Aliflttn.townehlN
County Stirtiesor—Abraham Lumberton, of
North Itliddigh,„
Auditor—J, t.prawbach, of Lower Allen
township.
After the nominations were made, consider
able discussion tTiok place, we understand, on
the subject of temperance and a prohibitory
law. The latter' was not approved of, but
what precise action , was determined upon we
did not ascertain:
The Old Hunkers bad it their own way in
the Convention, and slashed the Young Demo
cracy without mercy. Mr. Wherry. the no..
mince for Senate, failed to -carry the delegates
of his own township, but neveriheless scoured
the nomination over the heads of infinitely
more talented men. Several of the other as
pirants wore ns coldly thrust aside in obedience
to the imperial Old Hunker mandate. Mr.
Moser, the new candidate for Assembly, is ono
of that class so much abused of late years—
an Iron-Master, but wo presume, will never
theless bo heartily supported by the Free
Traders, The candidate for Prosecuting At
torney, although unobjectionable in point' of ,
personal charactor t manifestly has not--that
legal knowledge -tin& - - experience 4o qualify
him for a post which ought to be regarded as
030 of the highest importance.
The nominations, throughout have caused
deep dissatisfaction. Tho Whigs nominate
their Candidates on Tuesday next, and if they
make judicious solootions will enter the con
test with most encouraging prospects of sue- .
