TEE NEXT SENATE.—Tho Harrisburg Tele graph says that the Senator to bo elected in the Huntingdon, Blair, and Cambria district, will probably decide the political character of the next Senate This has been foreseen by the Bogus Democracy, who have. bled the Treasury to the amount of several •hundred thousand dollars on the Portage Raifrond .con tracts to carry that district, and deliver the State completely into their• hands. TUE NEXT C9NORESS.—The N. Y. Tribune publishes a table of members of the l U. S.

John Bennett, of Philadelphia, a gal lant soldier who served in one of the Pennsyl vania Regiments, in the Mexican war, is re ported as having died last week ." from the offeots of the heat."- But the heat that hilted him appears from further information not to hare-been--a-providential visitation, but en tirely cs'EcTafoco heal! Gen. Bennett being a Democrat, and.a poor man, and having sorted his country in the hour of trial, some months since made an AppliCation for a place in the Custom House. After being flattered awhile with hopes of success, his application was at last coldly rejected, in order that- some more adroit politician might be favored. The Col lector said ho wasn't going to make a hospital of the Custom-House: He next mode applica tion for a place in the Mint, find after 011ie vering exertions was given a laborer's employ ment at paltry wages, in a room which was kept constantly heated to ICO° At the end of his third 'day's employment ho died from the 'effects of this heat, while trying to drag , his -wearied limbs from the Mint to his residence ! What a commentary is this upon the boasted. locofooo love for poor men! While lustily. bawling Galphiniem against the Whigs, see how locofocoism defrauds and oppresses poor men on the Portage Rail Road, and consigns others to a crueller fate than they over boldly faced on the battle fields of Mexico! In Monday's Ledger we find the following as an advertisement. It shows that Gen. yennet's • death has made an impression. ----- ORDER - Ntr. - 17= HEAD - QUARTERS - OF THE GOVERNMENT SAPPERS AND MIN ERS I—Rally, War Horses of the Custom House!—Attention, Dromedaries of the Poet Office!

Our ..most reliable advises relative to the resent State election in Tennessee, are that Janson, the Democratic candidate for Cov er-tier,. Lae- majority, of 2,216 that-five -Whigs and four Democratd are elected to Congress, thirteen Democrats and twelve Whigs to the State Senate, and forty-four Whigeand thirty one Democrats to the House of Representatives. This shows that our Whig brethren have gal lantly contested -a State 'which is generally close. Mr. Johnson, the successful aspirant, for tile gubernatorial chair, is tine of the- most artful demagogues of the West. Ire. canvas sing the Slito, he mounted every hobby -by which there was the slightest hope of Obtain. ing a vote. Knowing that the poorer classes are always most numerous, be baited his hooks and set hid\lines espeoially-to catch their influence. Fox this ptoTose he and hie friends raided a hue ander/ about the man agement of the State Bank. lie also declared in all his speeches that he was, in faVor of all sorts of radical legislative measures in these days, bearing the distinctive appellation of progression. Of these, his principal cne was the white basis of representation, by whieh the representation of slave property in eleo- tions of representatives would be abolished. This took wonderfully among the non.slavo holder& of 'Tonnessoe,. and his election is therefore ugardod as a triumph_of_thatinno. vation.

The corrected and revised speech of Mr Secretary Davis, on the Paoific Railroad spies tion, is published in the Washington Union. The corrections and revisions in the speech all look to make a distinctiOn between the powei of the Government to build a road within the States of the Union and Territories. And then ho argues that the General Govern. ment has a right to build railroads in the ter ritories belonging to• the.

The:-Pittsburg -Post, a • well known straight laced Looefoco paper,, frankly says We are sorry to say that in our opinion, it does not in, the slightest manner shake the 'position taken by the plundered operatives. . , The CoMMittee of workmen, through their chair man, make direct and positivit charges, all of whioh aro well authenticated, but exonerate most of the officers on the publio works. But it is clear that theevils. they complain of must have been perpetrated through • the command of the officers on the 'road. Hero is. the ma terial part of the charges , presented by them to the Board. Theysay: Our fret :charge as set forth in the addreie of the operatives Of (ho Allegheny Portage 'Railroad : That many of us have been in the employ of tbe.,Commonwealili for months, witkonk I calving any pay. -- This - oh:lrv - we will provs-V the following persons : By Dan iel Brophy, wo will prove that at the- time of the strike there was between fifteen and six.: teen months wages , due him, and that every time ho know there was money paying by the Superintendent he tried to get it but did not succeed. That William Shields,, do, eleven months ; Ifarkius Ott, do. between eight and nine months; .Terrence Ilinlson, do. between ten and eleven months; William Kerns" had fourteen months duo him. We can give any number of names, if necessary, for similar periods. ' We will prove by Richard Trotter, engineer at the head of Plane No. 4, That ie bad to sell three months of hie time at a discount of ten per cent. eta broker's office in Ilollidays. burg, ,after the passage of the appropriation bill. That Henry Downey and 0. 11. Kelly sold at the same rate. That Daniel I%l'lllana my sold six months' time amounting to $342, and had to pay ten per coot. discount; part of his time was Sold 'to A. 111. & R. White, and the rest to Bell, Johnson, Jack &'Co.— Those persons aro now present, and- any Amount of. names can - be had of persons who were compelled. to sell. But these we consider. sufficient. ' Tho third charge is: That the check rolls sold to the brokers, &c., first find their way into the treasury., That M.. M. Adams, a member of this Committee, found audited in the Auditor General's books, a bill 'of his, which, from the time he sold, to the date of its auditing, did‘net exceed two months., - That it was for materials furnished for the road, and amounted to over eleven hundred dollars. That he sold the bill to Bell, Johnson, Jack & Co., and paid ten per cent. discount on it. Tho fourth charge is: That there was $60,- '.600 of bills and check rolls, which found their way into the treasury; which had not passed through the • Superintendent's bands. This charge was not made by the men on the strike, but was told by Mr. Crawford end also Gen.Rosc-r Hero aro psaiitive,..and disgraceful (Ailias _against some of ihose who have the management of the Allegheny Portage HMI- road, and those who have the" auditing of the accotints of speculators at_ Harrisburg._ _ _ The Canal Board says such things shall not again' occur;—but whakeecurity is' there a— gainst a repetition of them. as soon as the vlectionis over, in ease the democratic ticket is sueossful ?

The Auditor General. ivho bas sanctioned _the committal of .these outrages upon the working men, is a candidate for 're-election ; and if the people, with' these facts before them, re-elect him - for another term, will not such election be a virtual ap proval of his past course? Let the honest voters of the Commonwealth ponder on these faots and be prepirecl to vote with a full knowledge of the consequences on the 11th of actober GALE or THE PUBLIC WORMS The Harrisburg sDenweratic Union comes out flat-footed against the sale of the public works. It intimates that this project appears to break out periodically in certain sections of the State, but that the , Democracy should set their faces against it. Says flint paper: " All our improvements in PennsylVania, as well those of the State as of private corpora tions, are rapidly increasing of revenues, but none more so , than those of the Comnion wealth. The season of depression of all these works has passed, and they are pll looking up. Tho . State works are in a bettor condition than at any former period. A now line of over one lifitideed - iniTai viill be opened' nest Spring, without materially increasing the State debt. The works are more valuable to the oowmunity than they.have ever been, and it would bathe heighth of madness to dispose of •them at a sacrifice at this time," This is the old cry, but the people have been humbugged too often by it to put faith in further promises for tho future. The works, controlled and conducted as they have been, and will continue to be under Locofoce rule, will never pay but a small fraction of the in terest on the cost of construction. • They an swer very well, in the hands of the party, to reward political fatorites, but are a direct tax upon the people. It is better to sell them— even at a sacrifice—than to retain them longer in the present corrupt hands. • GREAT INDIAN BATTLE.—The, report of groat battle on the Plains, between hostile In dian tribes, is confirmed.. A despatch from Fort_ Independence, Mo., says, 801110 returned Californians give the following account of the Affair The contest was between the Sioux tribe, aided by Choyelirtes, in all about 5000 strong, and, the Pawnees, aided by the learns, Sacs and . Pottowatornies, numbering 'about 3000. The light lasted all day. The killed on • both sides amounted to 500 or 660. It took place within fifty miles of Fort Kearny, and the Sioux party were defeated. A person just in from. Laramie says the above account is greatly exaggerated. but nevertheless great demonetrationit had been made, ank:had not the Pottowatomics Cored theTawnees would probably have been whipped, •;IC states the numbees at probably hundreds instead of thousands, and the esti mato of the killed is said to be -much exagge rated. gierSaleratus is said to be injurious to the human system, and that it destroys thousands of children and some adults every year.

While at Smyrna he Was violently seizecPby the Austrian autbority;:and,confined on board an Austrian .ebiri-of-iviir in the Irerbor. ' It also appears that Capt. Ingraham, of the U. S. ship St. Louis, demand,ed his release, and 'put himself in an attitude of attacking the Austrian vessel in:which Koste was confined.' This led to en arrangement by which Kosta was delivered into- the hands of the French 'Consul, till the whole matter could ,be fully investigated: ' We notice by the late vows from Europe, thatit is said, on the nuthority of the Frank. fort journal, " that Austria will not only de. , pawl reparation from America for the Costa affair at Smyrna, but will also demand that Turkey shall immediatelrproCure the extra dition of Costa." We are confident that she will do no such thing.

The York Republican copies the ,resolution in favor of *selling the public works, passed by the Democradrof forks, last week, 194 com ments cs follows: "Stich arelhe fruits of 'Biglerism and Bu chananism—such the results of Locofoco mis management of our State affairs! • A 'yearly increasing State Debt, Improvements not yield. ing a net revenue of one per cent, on their cost—the people compelled to make up the four and five per cent. of remaing interest by taxes, and 'past experience showing it to be utterly impossible' to have the Public Works well end honestly mannged while in the hands of the State.'

Tribune, writing from New Orleans, under_date_of the Bth inst.:-Bays-:---- Aethe hospitals the suffering is very groat, and it'is a wonder that any recover. In one room I visited there were about forty females. . They are placed in cots on either side of the 7room - with - just sufficient rocA between the cots for the attendants to give the poor suffer ers their medicines. On one cot was a mother --- whe - lifid just died of the black vomit; in the next cot the daughter was not only suffering with the fever,-but what must-she-have-suf fred in her mind on seeing the lifeless body tif-' her mother! On another cot . was young nr "etioatfrom Tennessee (the onlyAmorican in the hospital.) She had just been received, and was in the first stage of the disease. On one Bide of her was a wonian raving mad, with the blook vomit, and lashed down to her cot. On the other side was the mother who had just',,diett I concluded the poor Tennessee woman would soon die after witnessing - such scenes. In another part of the room were two sisters. One was doing very well, the other bad the Esoft vomit. On another cot - were three chfldien, whose parents had already died, and I could not but 'think that it would be better if the poor children should 'follow their parents to the epirieworld. In the room below were about forty ikeiti in the various stages of the disease. There were some three or four tier of 'cots in this robin. Many of the sufferers had the black vomit, others were raring and lashed'ilown to Oir cots. Some were groaning, others cursing, and a few were quilt. _How any of the pa tients can ever get well, surrounded as they are with the dead.and dying, and obliged to see every dead bodras it is removed, is truly surprising. No doubt many die from fright, and others, no Matter how'calm they may be, - must lose-all-hope land As soon as life is out of the body, they aro put into a rafigh box made by the prisoners of the workholise. This box is painted black with lamp black. The Corporation cart backs up to the hospital, the boxes or coffins are taken into them—say from throe to four at a load— and they are thus taken through our streets, Nvithout.oven a cover to the cart, or anything covered over the coffins. ATROCIOUS MURDIM NEAR DATTOI4.—An old widow lady named Young, accompanied by her son aged 14 years, started from her house in a wagon, for the Dayton, (Ohio) market, be fore daylight last Saturday - morning, to i lell meal, and ' soon after the home and wagon were seen on the road alone, and on search being madex-tho dead bodice of the mother and son weie found a Ctle way from the road side, horribly, Mangled.

The son's body was found near by, in tho top of a tree recently felled. As serious quarrels had occurred between the family and Frank Dieck, her son-in-law, in relation to a mill propeity, be was arrested. His shirt and clothes, it is said, had just been washed in dirty water, but still bore stains of blood, thus affording circumstantial evidence sufficient to authoriie his committal.

It was announced that neither Mr. McKee noi•Mr: Moser the'locofoco candidates, had sent replies. A letter from Mr. Koontz, ono of the Whig candidates, was read but was regarded as unsatisfactory, as he declined to stand on any other ground than his nomination as ai , thig4 The letter of Mr. Cathcart, the other Whig candidate announced himself as " in favor of some legislation that would do away with the traffic in intoxicating lignors," Considerable discussion then commenced as o the position of the onididates, and a reso futimOrds offered proposing that the demo cratic delegates . ahould select one candidate of their politics ns their choice and the whig delegates the other. This however was voted down and the Convention resolved to ballot for candidates. Mr. Mckee, 't seemed to be considered, had 'not entitled himself to any consideration whatever at the hands of the Convention. For Mr Moser, however, the other democratic candidate, although ho also had written no letter, a number of the dele gates appeared as vouchers. Mr. John llyer, of Carlisle, communicated to the Convention the result of an interview with Mr. Moser in which he had clearly and unhesitatingly de.. °lured himself in favor of a prohibitory law and ready to support it in the event of his election. Mr. flyer, who is known to be an intimate personal and political friend of' Mr. Moser,. pledgettlimeelf to the Convention that Mr. Mosey was of •' the right stripe." Other dele gates .from Mr. Maser's neighborhood also stated that to their knowledge Mr. M. had signed petitions in favor of a prohibitory law. Mr. Moser's position as a - prohibitory law man was therefore declared to Le surnoiently es tablished to entitle Lim to nomination as a 'trustworthy temperance candidate. It was then resolved that the Convention should pro ceed_to the selection- of- two-candidates from three of the names now in nomination, viz : 'Messrs. Cathcart, Moser and Koontz, and the election to' be by voice. The election 'ens accordingly gone into and the vote announced as follows: for Moser 51—Cathcart 30—Koontz 27. - Messrs. Moser and Catheart„one whig and one democrat, were then declared duly nominated no' the prohibitipe„eand dates for Assembly. Messrs. Moser am; Cathcart are both from the lower section of the county. Last evening a meeting to ratify the, nomi nations was held 'in the Tent, and resolutions expressing confidence in Messrs. Moser and Cathcart, as candidates, were adopted by ac clamation. The vast assemblage present could however hardly all be cliinaed ns supporters of the nomination, wo take' it, Van Wagner, wo underitand, paid his respects in very severe terms to a prominent been° leader who it was alleged made an abusive attnok upon him in the locofoco meeting on Monday night.-- Van Wngncr's poxvdr ash speaker - may be es timated from the immense crowds which his meeting attracts.

The most etrjlting piece in the illustra tions before us is a very handsomely engraved representation of the Equestrian Statue of WASHINGTON, 'which occupies the centerof the open pace benegth the dome of the Crystal Palace. It is a model in plaster of colossal size, proposed to bb executed in bronze, by Baron Marechetti, of Piedmont, but cow resi dent in London—and is mode thus conspicu ous rather because of the universal admiration entertained for the great and good man it represents, non of any peculiar artistic merit in the work itself.

In spite of the.contin ual decrease of the population by death and flight from the city, the number of deaths' is daily increasing. The total number of the interments in 'all life cemeteries of The city, . for the week ending at six o'clock on Monday morning, na we learn by telegraph, was fifteen hundred and- thirty-four, of which thirteen : hundred antd_sixty_five...ws4l3 victims of the Yellow Fever. The ineitase of deaths by the _prevailing epidemic over those of the previous week is eighty eight. The number of deaths fur the four weeks coding yesterday' was four thousand one hundred and sixty two, and three thousand six hundred and sixty nine of these by the fever. The despatch says it cannot be -denied-that—the- diSease is fearfully - on the increase, and-the - Howard - Association have open'ed several new infirmaries, which are rapidly filling up with' patients. Liberal aid has been already contributed-from- our o-ties but it will require an imm c Cose sum yet to supply .the wants . of those-upon whom is-laid this dreadful scourge. The authorities of . haie 'ordered ' tar - barrelS to be burned and cannon to' be fired, in the hope of staying the progress of the destroying pesti lence.

That potatoes will be short er than since 1846 ; that the wants of England will equal 15,000,000 qrs of grain, a quantity larger than ever before..
