HAVING A GOOD TIME,'
Both branches of the Legislature ad
journed on Friday last over to Tuesday
evening of this week at. 7 o'olock. The
constitution forbids their adjourning for
a greater space than three days and they
just saved themselves by this dexterous
arrangement. The people are admiring.
the reArnt character of . this ,Legislature
vastly !
LOCOPOCOISIII GOING TO PIECES.
If anything, in addition to the terrible
defeats that everywhere come upon the
hoeofoco party, were wanting to assure
us of the utter prostration of that party,
says the Lebanon Courier, it can lie found
in their humiliuting - appeals - I'er Whig
aid. The leaders of that party always
professed to believe that the Whigs we e
about the worst class of men any govern
ment or country.could produce, and such.
t.srms as traitor, &c., they freely implied
.
to them. Now however, the 'tune. is
changed; the Whig.; would be a:very.
clever set of fellows if they would only
turn in and airiest the flood that is sweep
ing Locofocoistn from politicaj. existence.
But who_ is weak _enough to suppose that.
Whigs are sufficiently verdant to be
caught by these lachrymose appeals?—
Every groan of expiring Locofocoism
falls upon Whigs like the most gratefu
music; and the death of that party will
twine the laurel, rather than the cypress
around the patriotic brow of the Whigs
of the country. Its grave will draw the
spirit of joy and congratulation, 'rather.
than the tear of pity or sympathy; for
when the lion and the lamb can lie down
together, then may the Whigs be willing
to shake hands with their bitter enemy,
Locofocoism, and not before.
PHILADELPHIA POLITICS.
A portion of the Old Line Whigs of
Philadelphia seem desposed to break up
the alliance with the Americans. A
'Convention comprising delegates from
sixteen wards is now in session for the
purpose of forming a ticket in - opposition
to the K. N's• A good deal of excite
ment exists. The extravagant course of
the city Councils during the last year
seems to have readered them odious.—
The electiOn'takes place the Ist of June.
NEW BANKS SIGNED
The Ledger of yesterday states that
since Gov. Pollock's veto of the Potts
town Bank he has approved five or six
other bills. One of them is of a half
million,eapitat,,in Philadelphia, another
of a like amount in Pittsburg, another
at Manch Chunk and auother at New
Castle.
PROHIBITION IN THE STATES.—With
in the past winter, Illinois, Indiana, lo
wa, and Delaware, have enacted strib
gent prohibitory liquor laws. Michigan
has re-enacted hers, with amendments
that. give 'it increased efficiency. In
New Jersey, a bill prohibiting the lii
traffic r passed the lower House, and
failed by only ono voto in'the Senate.—
Massachusetts and Maine are, at this
present; writing, busily engaged in giv
ing additional stringency to
,their prohi
bition policy; and still otter States are
actively agitating the prohibition ques
tion, with a fair prospect, if not absolute
certainty of adopting that policy at an
early day.
tgi..The papers record the deaths of
cot-Senators Phelps, of Vermont, Fitzger
ald Of Michigan', and Archer, of Virginia
within the last two weeks.
ELECTION RESULTS
Connecticut and Kansas Elections.
On Monday the annual :election for
State officers took place in -Connecticut
and Sam does not appear to have des
played his usual strength, though he has
gone into the fight valiantly and the re
turns yet to come in may present 'a bet
ter show. In twenty towns heard from,
as the telegraph informs us, Ingham,
Denocrat, for Governor leads all others--
Minor, American, falls but little short
of Ingham, and Dutton, Whig is consid
erably in the rear. It is thought there
is no el setion by the popular tote. As
far as heard from the Democrats have
also elected 26 members of the Legisla
ture and the Whig and Americans 21;
The strong K. IN: districts are' said to•
be yet unheard from. In the thirdCon
gresional district, Mr. Dean, Whig and
American, is elected by a large majority.
The other districts are not yet known.
A despatch. from Independence, Miss
ouri, says,' that the returns of the recent,
election in Kansas, show the election of
the pro-slavery ticket for members of the
.Territorial Legislature in Bull Creek,
Lawrence, Douglas, Doniphan, Tecump
sell, Shawnee Mission, Lavenworth, and
ooky_Point-,counties, by majorities ran;
ging from 200 to 800. The election was
con d ucted. with -tolerabl e - qUietu de. The
Editor of the "Kansas Free State," was
ducked in the -Kew river by
consequence of an objectionable speech.
There are probably no anti-shivery men
elected to the Legislature.
The city election took place in Cincin
iiati on Monday and was marked by most
deploralle manifestations of violence.—
A despatch on Monday gives the follow
ing particulars .- '
-------
CINCINNATI. April 2. The municipal elect
ion in this city took place to day. The vote
polled was very large, and the result will not
be ascertained before morning. There has
been much excitement, and in several of the
wards considerable fighting, especially' at the
polls in the Eleventh Ward, which is largely
German. It having been charged that par
ties in this ward, were prevented from voting
the American ticket,, a party of Americans
took poesession of the ballot boxes and des•
troyed the tickets. In the melee one man was
killed and several wounded. This ward, it
was supposed, would give GOO or 700 mnj ri
ty against the Know Nothing ticket, but the
vote cannot now be counted. Great excite
ment prevails, and further disturbancoa•are
apprehended.
After the first collision the Know Nothings
rallied, and taking a cannon from the Ger
mans, turned it upon them and fired. The
number killed or injured, is unknown. The
greatest excitement prevails; and further col
lisions are anticipated, as the Know Nothings
who have been ordered to rendezvous in the
11th ward, aro now marching thither with can
non.
On Mondiy, 26th ult, an election was
held at New Orleans for Recorders and
members of the Board of .Assistant Al
derman which resulted in a complete vic
tory of the know Nothing party. All
their candidates wore elected except one,
who was nominated for Assistant Alder
man in the 11th ward.
CABE OF DR. REALE.
The Supreme Court. it appears tuus bad

Justice Lewis gave a decission granting
a writ of error in the case of Dr. Beale,
On the ground that the jury that tried
the case instead of being sworn to ren
der a verdict according to the evidence,
were sworn to try the guilt or innocence
of the defendant. Also, that the defen

tary confinement at labor, was sentenced
to imprisonment at hard labor.

THE DOILINT* LAND 1.41 W.
The new bounty land bill has deluged
the deparments at. Washington ',with ap
plications. It is said that since the 17th
inst. 13,400 applications for. bounty
lands, under the new law, have been re
ceived at the pension office. This, it
wili be.remembered, is the result of only
one of the many hounty lands nets of
•
Congress. The Union says that each let
ter of application hat; to be opened, filed,
timbered:- its ,contents carefully noted,
its receipt 'acknowledged, and a record ta
ken of the same. In addition to these
for Mal applications, upwards of two huri.
dred letters per day are received af . that
office asking for information in regard to
the construction and, application of the
law, to which, in many instances, long .
and carefully prepared answers have to
be sent. It will be seen, therefore that
thcAfficers having charge of the business
.enjoy no sinecure. The Union further
states, from reliable date, about 35,800,
000 acres of the public lands will meet
the requirements of the new law, leav
ing still to the country the enormous re
sidue of one thousand millions of acres.

SPlrEsici GOODS !—Ogilby 'advertises a
largo• and splendid arrival.ofnew, gsy and
cheap Spring Goods, this week, to which the
attention of the ladies is particularly invited.
ItEmovAL.—The first of April gene
rally brings about a number of changes among
our business" mon. Among those who have
changed locations this spring is Dr. S. Elliott,
who has removed one square west of his old
stand on Main street, within two doors of
Marrion Hall, where ho has opened his stock
in: new and attractive style, and Where he will
be glad to see his old customers.
CONCERT.—Our own poplar Vocal
lots, the Ivey Stoae Bitrds, will give a Concert
in Marion Hall, on Friday evening. We need
not commend them here where they aro well
known. We understand they have been win
ning golden opinions in Chambersburg and
other places where they have recently sung.
They deserve a crowded house as they / have
ever shown their readiness to contribute to
the public gratifiatlon on all suitable public
occasions.
FIRST or APRIL.—In financial par
lance the first of Aptil is the day to meet
"gales," but the terrible tempest that prevail
ed this year was beyond all precedent. The
wind in its wild pranks cast dust into the eyes
of every body who ventured upon the streets,
and the "moving folks," who with difficulty
were able to carry their houtiehold goods from
place to place, found it anything but a merry
frolic in such a storm.
As usual there were a large number of our
country friends , in town on Saturday and Mon
day, and the scene at the Bank, the Court
House and the principal Attorney's offices,
was as animated as Wall street. Real estate
operations to the amount of several hundred
thousand dollars were arranged between sel
lers and buyers, and scores of tglo deeds
transfered to new owners. Money five under
stand was plenty and there were but few fail
urea to meet:engagements.
m.Tho Volunteer is evidently not
quite no confident of having annihilated the .
management of the One and Water Company
as it was - at first, but still with characteristic
stubborness adheres to tho opinion that the
present Hoard is acting illegally. It is useless
to continue .a coutrovercy about the niatter,
as we think the publio mind is entirely at rest
in relation to it. Tbis is proved by tie fact
that several thousands of the gas loan have al
ready been taken. The Volunteer is also pleased
to intimate that our former ortiole—was-not
written by ourselves, and regards the "Math/-
tics" we gave as a proof that the article came
from some one in the management. Hia in
sinuations full to the ground in this case also,
for we have since ascertained that our "stat is-
tics" made the expenditure of the company
greater thou they have actually been. Enough
said. .

was never before sdgreat. Those who plant
largely the present spring will realize- , their
highest hopes, providing the season should.
prove favorable. • Labor is cheap; and we
'advise all who can to put in spring wheat and
corn on the most liberal scale. The crop of
winter wheat is already determined. That
can only be increased by a- top dressing, of
ashes, . plaster, super-phosphate of lime, or
some other fertilizer. But we can increase
Indetinitelj our spring and simmer crops . , all
of which will find a ready market at prida far'
above the average.
GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.—The April
number of the " American Monthly," comes
to us with a most beautiful engraving of Mary
Queen of &eta as a Vignette. It is a deci
(led improvement on any thing of the kind we
have witnessed in connection with Magazine
literature for somf time, and is therefore an
earnest of what Mr. See intends to -do for hie
reader:On the paesent_ volume. A historical
romance of " Mary" is also commenced in the
number before us.. It is from the pen of Mr.
\Vm Dow, and will not fail us an attraction
The fashion plates are new and beautiful in

present year get the presentation pinto an

which ought to be embraced by every Farmer
in Pennsylvania..
A PATRIOT AFTER ma BOUNTY LAND.—The
fol'owing is a copy of one of the two thousand
letters applying for bounty lands under, the
law of the last session of CongreSs, which
were received, yesterday, at the Pension Bu
reau. The "frog sticker!! referred to which
was sent along, carefully done up by way of
circumstantial proof of the applicant's service
as claimed, is an old-fashioned half butcher's
knife and half cut and-thrust saber, and looks
as though it may have gone through all the
wars of our country, from the old French war
to the very last encounter with the Sioux on
tho great overland route to Oregon —Star.
'WASHINGTON,
_March 27th.
Mr. Commissioner of Petitions:
I send you my frog-sticker. I was in the
war at bladensburg, and used this saber like a
true Bolger. I want you to give me land, as
they say you am the man for that bsiness,
and I want you to send my land to me by the
rale rode, so that I can git it, and I want you
to give the frog-sticker to the Congress of
America, for I see that old president Jackson
has his cord given to that benevolent asilum,
or you may give it to the Washington monu•'

Tim FLIGHT of Naws.—No piece of new
was ever carried such a vast distance in so
short a time as was the anouncement of the
death of the Russian Emperor. It tookp!ace
at noon on the second of March, and in an
hour or two it was known in nearly every
part of the European continent and the British
islands. On the 8d ef Miirch the Africa sail
ed from Liverpool with the news. She reach
ed Halifax at noon of the 16th, and by the
close of that day there was scarcely a town in
the United States where the great event was
not known. Thirteen days had sufficed to car
ry the intelligence over two continents and
ono broad ocean. There was never a more
striking illustration of the wonderful work

The following is the I+ft - oiliest° of Emperor
Alexander, to the Russian Army It is dated
at St. Petersburg on the_.fid of-March:
"Valiant warriors, faithful defenders of the
church, the throne, and the country : It has
tileas.ed Almighty God to visit us with a most
peinful and grievous loss. {Pe have all lost a
cOmmon father and - benefactor. In the midst
of his unwearied care and Rue ia's prosperity,
and the glory of the Russian arms, ;he Empe
ror Nicholas Paulovitch, my bles;sed father,
has departed to eternal life. iris. last words
were—
thank the glorious and loyal guard of
Russia, and also I thank the brave army and
fleet, and pray God to maintain the courage
and spirit by which they have distinguished
themselves under me. So long ns this spirit
is upheld, Russia's tranquility is secured, both
within and without, and woe to her enemies!
I loved my troops as my own childrea. I
strove as much as I could to improve their
condition ; and if I was not entirely success
ful in that respect it was for no want -of will,
bat because I was unable to &via° any thing
better or do more.'
'May these ever-memorable worJa ba pre

love for you, which 1 share to the largest ex

votion for tne and for Russia."
BUR/AL OP THE LATE EMPEROR.
The remains of Nicholas were exposed in

the deceased monarch last addressed Alexan

loss of Russian influence in the Black Sea;—
that ho (Nicholas) would not take such a re
sponsibility of an Anglo-Preach alliance ; and
that Alexander's constant effort should be to
detutch France from England, and unito Rus

added that perhaps his pride had been exces

The steamer Great Britain sailed from Cork
on the 13th instant with seventeen hundred
