The steamship Africa arrived yesterday

DEATH OF CAPT. C. G. MERCHANT
was , reeeivcd on Friday
last of the death .or - -Captairi CHARLES U.
MERCHANT, of the U. S. army, son of
Major Merchant of Carlisle. The death
of this gallant young officer will be felt
as a sad event not only by his family but
by- the many friends here and elsewhere
who justly esteemed him for his noble
qualities and Idmirable charae!er.
though young he had won high distinc
tion in his profession, to which he was
e ithusittstically devoted. lle graduated
at the U. S. military academy at West
Point in 1843. During the Mexican
war he served-as a -Lieutenant ui the_tith
Regiment of the U. S. InfAtry, and
was in every great battle of that memor
able war except that of Buena Vista, hav
ing just previous to that battle left the
line of the Rio Grande in company with
the other regular troop-, to join in the in
vestment of Vera Cruz, and the subse
quent conquering march of the Ameri
can army to the city of Mexico under
Gen. Scott. In all the victorious en-
gagements of our troops with the enemy
in that triumphal march, Capt. Merchant
bore a conspicuous part. His gallant
conduct was noticed in flattering terms
in the official reports of the commanding
officers, and particularly in Gen. Scott's
report of the capture of the city of Mex
ico. For his. services in the Mexican
war he was twice brevetted. After the
war he accompanied his regiment to a
postin Texas, when they were ordered
far the protection of the frontier against
the depredations of the Indians. 'While
°Ma scouting
,expedition with his com
pany they encountered a body of Coman
che Indians and in the severe engage
ment which followed Capt. M. received
&dangerous wound, which although not
fatal at the time has probably proved the
ultimate cause of his death, He. died
on the 4th inst., at East
,Pascagoula, Mis
sissippi, where he was sonic months since
stationed in charge of the U. S. Hospital
located at thakplaeo. While the public
service will feel his loss
.and his many
acquaintances regard his death with un.
aff3eted, grief, to his afflicted family it
comes with, keenest anguish. The sym
pathies of the community are with them
in their bereaveinent.
THE WHIG ORGANIZATION.
The nominations, made by the Whigs
at their recent county convention are re
ceived will{ he highest favor, as we learn
from different sections of the county, but
the fear is expressed by some of our
American friends that the) action of the
Whigs may lead to the Sltee(2,S of the
Democratic ticket.. There may be some
ground for this apprehension, but does
the responsibility rest with the Whigs I'
In putting a ticket, in the field the Whigs
have only followed their uniform rule of
action. They have not changed their
poliekq ! ut th , Anoyir , rn ptri ll juts. L a st
year, inAhe hey-day of its power, the
American party made no distinct nomi
nations. It chose to carry out its pur
po:es by actin; 1; awin . qh the old parties—
kindly securing, the election of parts of
each ticket. This year it puts its ' o
ticket in the Geld—a ticket formed in se
cret councils from which all but the
were excluded—from
Ivhith Whigs were as coldly . shut outas
ri) re 4 'll 1' FS — a n d now because those self
,zani6 Whig , do not meekly adopt this
ticket, work fur it, vote for it and rally
all their strength to ensure its triumph.

the whole policy of the merican party
has been a the utmost illiberality towards
the Whig... In a number of counties of
this Statc--in Chester, Leletlom
ter and othersl-wier Counsels have pre
vailed and the result is seen in the har
monious action of the Whigs and the
Americans. There was an equal necess
ity for the same course of policy in Cum
berland county. The leaders of the A
meriban party must have known that
they could not increase in the election of
their ticket without a union of all the
opponents of Locofocoism. If under
such circumstances they would obstinate
ly adhere to an odious policy which
inwt inevitably drive off the support of
Whigs, let the responsibility rest where
it justly belongs.
Our
. neighbor of the Trolantecr says of
the Whig ticket nominated on Monday
week: "Beyond question this is the
strongest and best ticket ever presented
to the people of Cumberland county by
Vl° Whigs, and will certainly command
the respect of honest men of all parties.
Against such men as compose this ticket,
we beg leave to say—nothing."
VOICE OP TIM UPPER SECTION
The Shippensburg News publishes the
prOeeedings of the Whig County conven
tion and remarks that c the ticket is
composed of very worthy men and meets
the approbatiOn of the whits of the 'up
per end' generally."
The Old Line Whigs of Dauphin
county have formed an exclusively Whig
ticket, having nominated for Assembly,
John A. Fisher, of Harrisburg, and Wm.
J. Robinson; for Prothonotary, Dr. Ja
c,b Shope; Regis!or, J. H. Lyifeb;
Commissioner, John Parncr; Treasurer,
John McCoy.
The Whigs of Lancaster county have
also formed their ticket. They have
nominated for assembly, Messrs. John
Bear, James Myers, John Strohm, Adam
K. Witmer and Wm. Koiligmacher; for
Treasurer, Joseph Clarkson. An Ameri
can ticket will be nominated this week
and probably an old lino Democratic
ticket.

P mina: Wii.i.t.tmsoN's CASE.-
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania gave
Saturday in Philadelphia.
r. fusing to graii the release of Passinove
Williamson. -Judge Black read the de
cision. The around taken is that the
court has no jurisdiction towarrant its
interfering with the judgement of the
Federal court; that such courts have ex-
Allusive power in deciding cases of con
tempt, and this court could not go behind
the record to ascertain the fact whether
the commitment NVIIS legal or not. The
authority to deal with an offender of this
el.i.ss belongs exclusively to the court in
which the offence is counnitted; * and no
other court, nut even the highest, can ii—
terfere with its exercise, either by writ
of =or, mandamus, or habeas corpus.
If the rower be abused, there is no rem
edy but impeachment.
Judu;e—Lowrie concurred in the deei
sion, although he differed from the others
in some of the views of the case. Judge,
Knox dissented from the decision and
contended that the district attorney had
no jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas
corpus in the first place, and that Wil
liamson was guilty of no crime in refu.
sing to answer it. He also urged that
the power to issue writs of habeas corpus
is confined exclusively'to State courts.
PENNSYLVANIA PouTios.—A Repub
lican mass convention of the people of
Indiana county, Pa. , was held-at the
Borough of Indiana, on the 29th ult, at
which no less than two thousand persons
are said to have been present. From the
tenor of the resolutions it is quite evident
that the American organization of the
county has entered heartily into the
movement. A full county -ticket has
been nominated.

AID TO THE NOM:MK SUFFERERS.—
In common with other communities our citizens
have felt their sympathies deeply roused by
the sufferings caused by the appalling ravages
of the Yellow fever in the towns of Norfolk
and l'ortsmoUth, Va. In accordance with this
feelin7, a public meeting was called la.q.•;even
ing, at which steps were taken for collecting
fonds to he remitted to the authorities of the
ill-fated city. It is an olPft that powerfully
appeal!, to one highest sympathies tind we hope
that liberal contributions will be made by our
citizens. At the last accounts there was 'no
abatement of the ravages of the disease. •
The proceedings will he found ib to-day's

ready collected.

ITORTICULTURE.--An attempt was
made without success a few years ago to form
an Horticultural Society. It would he deiira
bie to improve the fruit culture in our county,
by asel;rtaining what kinds succeed best in
this region—to exchange information and ex
perience in the diseases to which they are sub
ject, and the best methods of restoring them ;
1111(110b0 to afford a knowledge of the estab
lished names of the choice kinds by labelled
specimens exhibited for that purpose , . The
culture of roots and flowers 'and obtaining
Genuine seed Is another important.department.
All that is wanting is a central room in our
town to be opened on Wednesday forenoon of
each week, and to have an intelligent person
there during that time to receive specimens
and be the agent for receiving and communi
cating. All who are interested could meet
there once a week and exchange specimens and
information without any formal organization ;
:tad if only the fruit cultivators and others
would attend, it might gradually lead to a so
ciety and an annual exhibition.
INSOLENT VAGIIANTS.—A couple of
the numerous tribe of vagrants who infest the
country visited ono of our town res'dences on
on evening of last week, and after asking in
not very civil tone for something to cat, with
which they were at once liberally supplies',
returned a short time afterward to the same
house and with insolent boldness demanded
that they should be accommodated with lodg
ing. The offer of their society was of course
declined but; they absolutely refused to leave
and the head of the house was obliged to for
cibly eject them. As they were stout chaps
this was no easy matter, but be finally suc
ceeded in putting them out, t.t. he received
several severe blows and br akt, It the souffle.
Such fellows ought to ha it dging in the
county jail.
