We have received from the foundry of Messrs.
L. Jobson S. Co., a font of new nonpareil type to
be used in the advertising columns of the Spy.—
This type is of small size, and will condense the
the advertisements into a much smaller space than
they now occupy, thereby 'affording inure room for
reading matter. This has been done at considera
ble expense, but as we are determined to spare no
labor or warranted expense in rendering the Spy
interesting, we hope our friend Monsieur Public
will appreciate our desire to please.
A portion of our paper this week is printed on
the new type, which will serve to give our patrons
an idea of the improvement about to be made in
the mechanical execution of the Spy. By the Ist
of January, it will appear in its new dress entire.
Ntw Dness —The Lancaster Union and Tri
bune comes to us enlarged, and beautified with a
new dress. It is now printed on bourgeois and
minion, and looks exceedingly well. The Union
is an excellent news and literary paper.

GEN. TAYLOR IN NEW OILLF.ANS.-.IIIC New Or
leans papers of the 4th and sth inst., contain glow
ing accounts of the reception of Gcn. Taylor in that
city, which took place on the 3d.
"He landed at the Place d'Armcs amid the
thunders of artillery, salutes of one hundred guns
having been fired from each of the public squares.
In reply to the invitation of the Mayor to become
the guest of the city, the gallant hero made a brief
but appropriate reply. From the landing he passed
through the Place d'Armcs, in which a triumphant
arch bed been erected, and entering the Cathedral,
immediately opposite, he listened to an appropriate
address from Bishop Blanc. Gen. Taylor replied
in nn eloquent manner. A grand 7'e Detain was
then sung by a full choir, accompanied by ayower
ful hand of instrumental performers.
On the conclusion or the services, the procession
was formed and moved through the principal streets
of the city, according to the arrangements. The
General was escorted to the St. Charles Hotel,
where he took up his quarters.
:The St. Charles Hotel was brilliantly illuminated,
and in front of the gentleman's parlor, a trans
parency of the General, in his old brown coat, was
exhibited, having for the motto, A little more
grape, Captain Bragg."
A splendid supper took place the same evening
al the St. Charles lintel, which was given in honor
of the General. Grand displays of fireworks were
given during the evening, end the city's guest with
his suit, visited the theatres which were crowded
to overflowing on the occasion.
On the 4th the presentation of the sword voted
to General Taylor by the Legislature of Louisiana
was made, nccompanied by most interesting cere
' monies. The weapon was presented by Governor
Johnson, in a long and most eloquent and enthusi
astic speech. The reply of the General was brief,
but at the same time very appropriate and eloquent.
At the public dinner given at the St. Charlea, a
complimentary toast to Gen. Taylor was received
with long continued shouts, to which the Gen. re
plied. The Mercury says :
The old man rose with an appearance of diffi
dence and timidity, which all knew be never felt
in the presence or our enemies, and replied per
t
• intently and appropriately. Ile said it was difficult
for him to cypress his a • ISC of the honors which
were showered upon him by the eitirens of New
Orleans ; but of all the trophies lie received, the ap
proving smiles and waving handkerchiefs of the
fair daughters of f.ousiana affected him the most,
and were dearer than a thousand victories on the
battle-field. They were triumphs peculiarly gratify
ing to him, for they were unalloyed by pain, and
lett no sting behind—he knew not how others felt,
but for himself, how much soccer he might forget
in the hour of battle, the sad consequences of the
strilb, they always rushed upon his mind afterwards
—making his heart to sink, and causing him to
feel like a child. Ile had hoped to have done more
for his country than he did—he thought he might
have been enabled to accomplish a speedy end
honorable peace—an event essential to the welfare
of both countries, and particularly our own—but
though he did not accomplish as much as he
desired, he always enden ored to perform his duty,
and he was more than gratified that the people of
Louisiana, with whom he considered himself iden
tified, were contented with his conduct.
The Picayune or the 3d instant furnishes the
following account of the General's personal jlm•
pea ranee :
Ile seems to he in excellent health and his
spirits have not suffered from once more breathing
the air of his own great country. In person he is
thinner than when lie left the United States; but no
traces of decay can be seen in his gait, his conver
sation, or his manners. Ile is the same frank,
manly, and single-hearted soldier he was in years
gone lay—changed in nothing if we except a dif
tidence which increases with his increasing Kline.
There is a cordial hospitality in the grasp of his
hand—an old f.ishioned, honest welcome in the
candor of his greeting—a generous straightfor
wardness in his whole bearing, which at once
captivates the mindand "gives his heart the truthful
quality of disposition, tempers with mildness the
daring expression of his eye, and diffuses even
blandness over the rugged boldness of his camp
hardened feature=."
"There in not him the slightest tinge of self-con
sequence—no wish to he considered greater than
others. He would fain avoid the public reception
that awaits him, did it not savor of alrectatton to
repel a demonstration of regard by a people who
love and honor him. His character is so simple in
its construction that success cannot spoil its sym.
metry or praise deface it with n single pretention.
It does one good to be in the presence of this man
or mighty deeds, in whose n•rtnrc self denial is so
absolute on clement that he blushes at the great
things he has himself done."
The laic foreign intelligence from Russia and
Austria chills the heart with horror. Polish no.
Ides, denounced fur having deplored in their own
family circles the calamities of their country, have
been seized at dead of night, and abducted to din.
taut fortresses, without any one knowing their fate.
Young girls have been dragged naked from their
bed,, outraged by drunken soldiers, and gone mad
from shame and fear. Men have been immured,
on suspicion, in damn dungeons for sic or seven
months, till they have confessed imaginary crimes.
Land carnets have been attacked on the highways,
beaten, mutilated, and left for dead, and then
claimed by the Austrian police to undergo fresh
tortures.
Human nature shudders at hearing with what
cruelty the Russtan Government treats the .Polish
imprisoned patriots. Grzegorzewski who signed
the Cracow manifesto, imprisoned in the citadel of
Warsaw, became very soon insane. The old sena
tor, Wieloglowski, could not endnrc the torture,
and died. The bride of the unfortunate Dobryii
was let out of the jail of the Citadel, but she soon
died. Morsztya has broken his skull by beating it
against the walls of his prison, not being able to
support the tortures. Anthony Paprocki, beaten
to death, cried out at his last moment, " I am dy.
ing for the most sacred cause of Poland."
BmoTay DAmmanEorvrEn.—llere is a truthful
picture of an infernal monster, drawn by the Bos
ton Chronolypc:
.` Bigotry is the arch-fiend of this woe-beg-one
world. Did he always stand out in his own dra
pery of sable snot, there would be very little trouble
with him. But lie takes the robes of religion, of
spirituality, even of freedom and liberality. But
there is one certain test of his presence. It. is the
grave. At that sad bourne all human quarrels
cease. Humanity there unbends the bow, lets fall
the battle axe, and weeps with a full heart over
the prostrate brother laid away in his long sleep.
Meek-eyed Charity bends over the coffin, remem
bers all the good and worthy deeds, and forgets and
forgives all the ill ones. But there is that which
comes with rude manner and sneering lips, plucks
aside the winding sheet, exposes every scar and
deformity, and spurns the coffin with a grin of con
tempt. This is Bigotry. No matter if clothed in
the vestments of the holiest freedom, and in the
most bloodless non-resistence, it is Bigotry—the
fiend that' loss kindled all the 'auto de fes' and
Smithfield fires, and invented all the racks and
thumb-screws that have been need in the absurd
work of clinking men think alike."
A Cincinnati paper says that "hogs and hickory
arc selling by the cord at nearly the same price,"
the weather being unfavortblc to tho crop."
From the Huntingdon Journal
DEATH OF CAPT. pales CALDWELL—LET:En
mon MS SON.—We are truly happy to state that
the news received of the death of Alexander Catch
well, who accompanied his now lamented father to
Mexico, proves to be incorrect. A letter has been
recently received from him, by his younge!brother,
residing in IVilliamsburg„ front which - we take the
following extracts:
CITY OF 34 . F.Y.1C0, OCLOber— 1847.
Illy Dear Brother: * * * As you are well
aware of all the dangers we have to go through in
Mexico, I hope you will be prepared to hear some
sad news, though I wish I could save you the pain
of knowing it. Our dear and 'brave father, as he
proved to be on all occasions, received a fatal wound
whilst gallantly advancing at the head of his com
pany on the terrible day of Chapultepec; he did
not receive the wound in the storming of the Cas
tle; but after that place was taken he advanced to
the very gates of the city, where ho received a se
vere wound in the foot, by a fragment of a bomb
shell, of which wound he died a few weeks since.
I hope you will not grieve too much about this sad
affair, but bear it like a man. It will be some con
solation to you to know he tell whilst bravely fight.
ing fur his country's honor. It was his wish to be
taken home and be buried along side of his dear
wife. I hove him embalmed and put in a lead
coffin, and will take him home with me when I go.
I hope you will see that our dear little sisters, Mary
and Elizabeth, are taken care of. When I get
home I will make suitable arrangements for you.
all. I have applied for a commission in the Regular
Army as Lieutenant, which, if I succeed, will af
ford sufficient income to educate our sisters without
other aid ; I think there is no doubt of my getting
it, as I have a letter of recommendation to the
President, written by Gen. Shields, and signed by
Generals Scutt, Quitman, Twiggs, Pillow. Pierce,
Cadwallader, and also by Mr. Trist, U. S. Commis
sinner. As soon as I get my commission I will
obtain a furlough and go home. I expect to see
you in two or three months. I was appointed
Commissary's first clerk by General Pierce, as
soon as we landed at Vera Cruz. The situation is
worth em per month. "' The young men
from Williamsburg are all well.
Farewell fix a while, and God bless you all.
Your only brother,
ALEX:. CALDWEL L.
SPONTANEOUS COITRUSTION.-A few rods north of
the Armory on the hill, is a deep hollow or dingle
down the bank of which the waste dirt of the
shops (consisting of old woollen rags and cotton
waste, partially saturated with 01 , , particles r , f iron
mixed with the sweepings of the shops, coal dirt,
&c.,) has from to lime to time fur a long period been
thrown, until a large quantity of it has accumulat
ed. This mass of rubbish some six weeks since
took fire spontaneously, and has been constantly
burning since, notwithstanding the late powerful
!and heavy rains.
Wednesday being the regular monthly meeting
of the " Eagle Co." No. 1, Capt. Tower determined
to try his skill with the devouring element. After
throwing on to the burning pile vast quantities of
water, which seemed to have the effect to concen
trate the heat rather than toquerich it, it burst forth
front the uppermost point, ejecting fire, steam and
smoke,toa considerable height, giving us a beautiful
miniature volcanic eruption. It still continues to
barn, bidding defiance to the clouds of heaven and
the Eagle Co, Yo. L On the bank immediately over
the burning pile is a magnificent elm, beneath the
shades of which, in by-gone days, many a workman
has repaired to refresh himself from the beautiful
stream rippling down the bank near by. This
burning mass seems to have embraced the roots of
the tree, (robbing old Sol of its power,) warming it
into summer life, expanding its bads almost to
bursting, and in all probability will soon cover it
with a beautiful inglielcl (Mass) Re
publican.

"OM NVltitcy" will have a share in the pageant
toAny. The old fellow's prctentions have been
recognized by the committee, and he will have a
show for his services. He has been ailing for some
days, and may not be in condition to be ridden by
Gen. Taylor. Ilsuch bc the case, the General will
ride a brown horse, which carried him through the
Florida. war, and was wounded at Monterey, and
"Whitey" will be ridden by General's servant.—
This is as it should be. It may bc remembered
that at Buena Vista, the color of Old Whitey at
tracted the attenlion of the emmy, and drew upon
his master the fire of ono of his priricipal batteries.
But if he gave exercise to Mexican marksmen,
be at the same time was an object of anxious at
tention to the Americans. Ever and anon they
turned their eyeN in the direction in which be was,
and as long as he could be seen, they knew that
his rider was there overlooking the battle which
' they felt sure would ne.cr he lost whilst Rough
and Ready kept his seat in the saddle.
STRANG!: Girn.ms.—We have often heard of the
fowl that laid golden eggs, but we never thought
that the fable to a certain extent would be verified.
tin Sunday last, the members of Major (.;ally's
Battalion int ited Gen. Taylor to the almal dinner,
given in commemoration of the Feast of St, fkliet ,
the patron saint of artillerists; but as the time for
the General's departure was fixed for 9 o'clock, it
was impossible for him to attend. The officers
and members of the Battalion, however, were de
termined that the "old hero" should not leave with
out receiving sonic testimonial of respect. Accord.
ingfy, on Sunday morning last, they sent General
Taylor a lingo pasteboard turkey, done brown.—
When the artificial flower was opened, to the
astonishment of all it was found to contain a
splendid pair of gold epaulettes and a sash of the
costliest description! These were presented by
the officers and members of the Battalion, in token
of their veneration and esteem fur the honored
chieftain, who has so nobly fulfilled his part in the
battle waged against the foe.
GREAT Fawn—Rise in the River—Allow-betty
Intindated.—For some days past, says the Pittsburg
Journal, the rain has been constant in this section
or 1.1. e. country, and our rivers have been swollen to
an'unnsual height—hirlier the believe than at any
period since 1832, and one foot higher than on
the 2.3 th November.
We can scarcely doubt that much valuable
property has been destroyed on the Allegheny and
Monongahela. There were, nn Sunday, `?3 feet of
water in the channel of the Monongahela.
The Allegheny rove very rapidly, and on Sun
day afternoon the "Island," and all the adjacent
portion of the city, was under water. The river
backed water over the second lock of the canal,
and the cellars on Ann street, and Rubinson street,
below Craig, were inundated.
NEGOTIATION WITH MEXICO.—From all we hear,
it would seem that the President has consulted
Bishop Iluglies on the subject of Mexican affairs,
and proposed that lic should proceed to Mexico in
a private capacity, but at the g overnment expense,
for the purpose of bringing about, if possible, a pa
cific disposition on the part of the Mexicans, partly
by persuading the Mexicans, in the first plrce, of
thin sincere affection of our goventnent fur them,
and our earnest desire to do them good.
Such a mission. we understand, the Bishop de
clined, but was willing to go as an authorized ctn.
bassador ; and the negotiation closed with the un
derstanding that if circumstances would war
rant it, the Bishop would be named as one of
three Commissioners totreat for peace.—N. F. Jour.
Coin.
A CURIOUS COACIDENCE.—It is just thirty-eight
years since Massachusetts gave a Speaker to the
[louse of Representatives, and in the same year in
which Joseph B. Varnum, the last speaker from
that. State, was elected. Mr. Winthrop, the present
Speaker. was born in Boston.
OBITUARY EXTRAORDINARY :—The widow of an
eminent composer, in her obituary of her departed
husband, used this language :
"He has left this life and gone to that blessed
place where only his harmony can be exceeded."
The widow of an eminent Rfrotechnist, pleased
with the idea, adopted it on a. similar occasion, with
a slight variation and remarked of her war-lord
that,—
" He had.gone to that blessed place where only
his jire•ttiorks could be exceeded."

All ages, sexes, and constitutions arc alike affected

PLEASE TAKE NowcE.—We have been frequent•
ly annoyed by a soap vender in Philadelphia named
Hanel, who meanly copies our advertisements and
applies the same to his own use. Now what prin.
ciplecan a man possess who will:condescend to make
use of such means artifices to insure his success., and
make his articles sell. A man's composition of
or his stereotype matter, is as much his property
as his stock in business, or goods, wares and chat
tels; if, then, another man meanly adopts such
composition, or property for own use, what better
is he than a rogue who will make illegal use of
your goods? In a little hand bill of ours which we
wrap around our Chins° Medicated Soap, wo have
at the head of the bills a small paragraph which
reads thus :
“In an evil hour the scpent entered Paradise,
and beauty lost its charm, and the All-Wise gave
man power over all animal and vegetable matter,
and the mysterious secret of restoring unto woman
her former pure, clear and beautiful complexion is
combined in Radway's Chinese Medicated Soap.”
On looking over the Philadelphia Ledger on Mon
day, the 18th ult., we were surprised to sec our
matter made use of for dressing up another man's
article, and that man our competitor in business,
and for the public's approbation of our reapectivs
articles. We offer to the public Radways Chinese
Medicated Soap as a sure exterminator of all es
cresences of the cuticle and a certain cure for all
eruptions of the skin. As a Toilet Soap we can
didly believe it to be the most superior Soap extant.
As a Medicated Soap we sincerely believe it to
possess qualities which no other Soap possesses.
For the cure of Salt Rheum, Ring Worm, Erysi
pelas, Chapped, Cracked, and repulsive skin, we
know it is certain in its effects, and is superior to
all others ever invented. Lastly, we never condo.
seend to make use of other men's composition to
make our articles sell. We furthermore warn this
mnn, Jules Hanel, not to infringe on our rights or
make use in arty manner whatever of our stereo
type composition. With these few remarks, we
leave the public to judge the meritis of our Chinese
Medicated Soap, and the merits of an article cloth.
ed in false colors to make it sell.
