Business-Men's Almanac for 1550.
V. B. Palmer, Esq., the great newspa
per agent, has kindly furnished us with a
copy of his "Business-Men's Almanac
for 1850," containing much "useful infor
mation for merchants,. manufacturers, me
chanics and business men generally."
This work has evidently been gotten up
with considerable labor, and such tact is
displayed in the selection of its contents as
to render the book a necessary article in
every office and counting room. It is
astonishing the amount of useful informa
tion and statistics useful to all kinds of
business men throughout the Union
which the author has condensed into sixty
four pages. Price 12 j cts single copies,

we have seen but one number since the

Salt River, there to mourn over the sad
calamities which have befallen their party.
Well, well, whilst in that far ofT region,
they may find a source of melancholly
consolation in erecting a monument com

Hon. Jesse Miller.
The Pittsburg Post of the 9th inst. con
tains a communication in favor of the
election of this gentleman to the office of
State Treasurer. Among the number of
gentlemen whose names have been brought
forward in connection with that office, we
know of no one who is better qualified for
the station. Perfectly acquainted with the
financial condition of the State, and pos
sessing a sound judgment and enlarged
experience, his selection by the Legisla
ture would receive general approbation.
His honesty and integrity having never
been questioned, and his capacity acknowl
edged on all hands, his election would be
a guaranty to the people that the affairs of
that important office would be conducted
with an "eye single" to the welfare of our
good old Commonwealth. The compo
sition of the Governor's Cabinet, and the
present financial 'condition of the State
imperatively demand the selection of just
such a man as Jesse Miller for State Trea

Xew York Election.
It is now pretty certain that the election
inNew York has resulted in favor of the
whigs. Their majority is probably 1200.
The House of Representatives will stand
03 democrats and 65 whigs. These re
turns are far from being official, but we
think they are nearly correct.
The union effected between the two
factions of the democratic party was not
adhered to in good faith in fact in many
places it was openly denounced on the eve
ot the eledtion and tlie consequence is
that they have been again defeated. No
other result could have been expected un
der such circumstances, and the whigs,
who of late have had but few opportuni
ties, will of course crow loud and long
over their triumph. Notwithstanding their
victory, however, the whigs of New York
do not claim the state as properly belong
ing to them, as will be seen bv the follow

There are some sober facts uevolved in
this election well calculated to moderate

previous election, that eternal wave of de
mocracy which is ever surging higher and
higher, has gained on us greatly; and had
the coalition been complete, the tchigs
must have been overwhelmed in the con.
test of yesterday. The enemy's centre
was broken before the battle began and his
wings were weakened by divided counsels.

Dr. Wni. A. Smith.
In the Pennsylvanian of the 10th inst.
we find the following communication in
favor of the election of this gentleman to
D
the post of Speaker of the next House of
j Representatives. The views of the wri
ter meets with our cordial approbation,
and we would be happy to see the Doctor
elevated to a post which he is fully quali
fied to fill. If the possession of an accu
rate knowledge of Parliamentary rules,
and a kind and an accomodating disposition
are necessary to make a good Speaker of
the House of Representatives, there are
but few men whose capacity and qualifi
cations better fit them for the station.
To the Editors of the Pennsylvania.
Although many respectable and compe
tent gentlemen's names, have been recent
ly mentioned in connexion with the office
of Speaker of the next House of Repre
sentatives I take the liberty ot mention
ing another, and a new name, to the De
mocracy of the House of Representatives;
but by no means, a new name, to the
Democracy of Pennsylvania.
I mean Dr. William A. Smith, of Cam
bria county. Dr. Smith combines in
himself as many of the necessary requi
sites, both of head and heart, to make a
good and efficient Speaker of the House
of Representatives, as any man in this
Commonwealth. To an excellent mind,
well stored with learning and science, he
has added the most extensive fund of po
litical information, as well as the most
accurate knowledge of parliamentary cus
toms and usages, which would make him
both prompt and efficient in the dicharT
rf tlie arduous duties of Sponger,
His kind heart, and urbanity of manners,
would make the Doctor a most agreeable
presiding officer. Independent of all his
other qualifications, Dr. Smith is a Demo
crat, as tme as steel; one who has done
good service in the cause of sound princi
ples for many years; ana who deserves
this signal mark of approval, from the
party of which he is a prominent and -effiV
cient member. ': '" ;

Horrible Mnrder.
We copy the following particulars of a
most deplorable event, from a late South
Carolina paper:
Lexington District has been, within a
few days past, the scene of a murder,
which the time of its perpetration renders
extremely revolting. A man by the name
of Louis Stack, who resides near John
Coogler, some thirteen miles from Colum
bia, of a dissipated character, being withal
strange and peculiar in many of his no
tions and actions, was murdered during tlie
night of the 31st of October, by Edward
A. Hodges, a respectable citizen of this
District.
. 'Stack was a married man, the father
of several children, and has, on several oc
casions, upon the death and burial of a
child, exhumed the body, retaining it sev
eral days, and then interring it again. A
daughter of his having recently died in
Columbia, was buried there; but Stack, in
one of his odd whims, in conjunction with
other persons, drove a wagon down to the
grave, disinterred tne bouy, ana Drougnt
it up to his own house; designing to inter
it by the graves of his departed children.
'It appears from tlie most correct state
ments given, (as the evidence of the per
sons present has not yet been taken,) that
Hodses was at a neighboring house on the
road, on the evening of the 31st when
he was sent for Dy Slack to come and set
up with the corpse at his house. He
complied with the request, and was ac
companied there by a Mr. Hughes.
'On his arrival, he was asked in, and
treated very kindly. It seems that a con
versation commenced, concerning some
trifling matter, when Stack, differing from
Hodges, became violently vexed, and gave
him the lie, which was promptly returned
by Hodges. WThereupon, Stack immedi
ately sprang up, seized upon a loaded gun,
and made directly at him to shoot him. In
the meantime, Hodges made for the door,
but being closely pressed by Stack, drew
his knife in self defence, seized upon the
gun, averting the muzzle from his body,
made several flourishes and thrusts around
with his knife to keep him off. thereby
inflicting several wounds; one of which
striking against the left cheek, inflicted a
flesh wound,another severed the temporal
artery on the right temple, and the third
divided the jugular on the right of the
a deadly wound, which prostrated Stack
forthwith.
'With singular presence of mind, Hod
ges sewed up the wound, severing the jug
ular, thereby stopping the copious effusion
of blood. Stack expired the following
day.
Spanish Coin.
We hope that the proper committee of
Congress will at an early period ot tne
session take into consideration the dilapi
dated condition of the Spanish shillings
and sixpenses, and drive them from circu
lation by substituting something as conve
nient. Neither a shilling nor a sixpence
weighs as much in old silver, as our dime
and half clime the coin is so defaced that
the stamp cannot be recognized; it is bored
or clipped. Why should not our dime
and half dime pass for the same valuers
a Spanish shilling and sixpence, when in
trinsically it is worth as much? But some
effort should be made to give to give a cir
culation to our own
coin.
Nothing is
more inconvenient than adding two cents
to a dime and one cent to a half dime to
bring it up to the standard value which the
Spanish coin bears, when in reality ours
is worth as much Congress can fix the
circulating value of the Spanish coin and
place it on a par with our own. Morning

Political summary. In relation to the
extradi lion, of the Hungarian refugees
from Turkey, the attitude assumed by
France and England has placed the Czar
on the horns of a dilemma, and he having
no other alternative than to fight or cease
bullying, has chosen to pursue a more pa
cific course. It was reported in Paris, on
the 25th of October, that the French Am
bassadorat St. Petersburg had forwarded
despatches to his government, intimating
change in the determination of Kuss a as
a
regards its disagreement with Turker.
Upon the subiect of extradition, so far
from forcing matters to extremities, Rus
sia expressed itself anxious to settle the
differences quietly, provided no warlike
interference was threatened on the part
of England. The same rumor was prev
alent at Vianna on the 21st.
TURKEY.
The change of creed by Bern, Dem
binski and others, is confirmed. The
English squadron has left the Adriatic
for the neighborhood of Dardanells, at the
request ofSir Stratford Canning. An Aus
trian fleet; consisting of frigates and brigs
is under sail for Dardanelles. At Sebast
pol there was a Russian fleet of 26 ves
sels, and only four hours sail from the
mouth of the Bosphorus. The Turkish
fleet is anchored across the Bosphorus, at
its narrowest point to defend the passage.
The Turkish armv Wrallachia, comman
ded by Omar Pacha, had been ordered
back to Constantinople. A French fleet
consisting of sixteen vessels of the iine,
two frigates and steamers, with 6000 men
and GOO guns, is under way for .the Dar
danelles. A UST R IA HUNG A II Y.
It is said that Haynau has resigned his
post in consequence of the Emperor hav
ing ordered the executions to be stopped.
He complained bitterly of his authority
being disregarded by those who shot Bath
yany; it having been his express order
that he should be hanged. According to
the reports form Pesth, the crown of
Hungary is now in England, whither it
was sent by Kossuth. Szermere execu
ted this commission for Kossuth, and this
explains the rumor that Szermere had
robbed Kossuth of his jewelry. On the
afternoon of the 12th inst. a courier ar
rived at Pesth from Vienna, with orders
to stop the butcheries in that city. The
organization of the Austrian army is going
on with great activity. A nephew of the
unfortunate Bathyany has been forced to
enlist as a private hussar in an Austrian
regiment. Demoinski's sister and brother-in-law
were arrested in Cracow on the
17th. They never interfered in politics.
PRUSSIA.
The Convention between the Courts of
Austria and Prussia, was ratified on the
12th inst. at Vienna. The exchange of
acts of ratification, took place on the day
following, when the Arch-Duke John, an
nounced his intention of resigning his off
ice as soon as the other German govern
ments had assembled at the Convention.
One hundred and sixty officers of the
Hungaiian army are expected to ship
themselves at Bremen for New Orleans.
ROME.
Gen. Cucchi has resigned his rank as
Lieut. General of the Roman army, on
the ground that he had engaged to serve
a constitutional prince, and not an abso
lute government. Much excitement pre
vails in the city. Several young men
have been arrested for singing the Mar
seilles Hymn in the streets. Instead of
singing, people now indulge in those reci
tations. Placards with enormous letters
of death to the infamous Priests death
to the Red Triumvirate, cover the walls.
Several attempts on the lives of some
French officers.
FRANCE
The leading feature in the week's de
bate in the Assembly has been the ad
journed discussion of the credits for the
Roman expenditure, which it was thought
would involve the resignation and change
of the ministry of France. Eighteen of
the June insurgents have been tried du
ring the last few days at Lyons. Distur
bances of a serious nature took place at
Rheims on the 21st. Lord Normandy
has had frequent correspondence with the
President, which has occasioned a jeal
ousy on the part of Thiers, who says that
the French honor and feelings are made
subservient to foreigners. M. De Persig
ney, who was sent to Vienna for the re
mains of the Due De Reichstadt, to have
them placed along side those of Napoleon
has returned unsuccessful the Emperor
flatly refusing. It is stated that the Sul
tan has granted to Lamartine gratuitously
an immense tract of country situated in a
fertile plain, within a few hours journey
of Smyrna.

Interesting from New Mexico.
The National Intelligencer understands
thai the Wai Department has received
from Col. Washington, commanding in
New Mexico, the interesting intelligence,
that he had concluded a treaty of peace
with the formidable tribe of Navajee Indi
ans. Col. W. returned to Santa Fe on
the 25th of September, from an expedition
into the country of the Navajees during
which the entered into the treat)'. From
the same source, the Intelligencer also
learns, that large meetings have been held,
for the formation of a territorial govern
ment in New Mexico. The first meeting
was held on Tuesday, the 21st August,
and is styled "a meeting of the citizens of
Santa Fe county, held pursuant to public
notice, to consult upon the question of a
proper territorial government." Over this
meeting Captain W. Z. Angey presided,
assisted bv Rufus Beach and J. W. Fol-
ger as Vice Presidents, and Lewis D.
Sheets as Secretary. Major R. II.
Weightman offered a preamble and reso
lutions, which (the Republican says) were
discussed with much ability and amplitude,
by Messrs. Messervy, Weightman, Hough
ton, Smith, Angney, West, Nangle, Ash
urst and Tuley; until, the night being far
advanced, an adjournment took place to
the following evening. On the next even
ing, the people again assembled, and after
the meeting had been organized, the reso
lutions offered on the previous evening
were unanimously adopted. The resolu-
tious strongly set forth the necessity of a
territorial government calling upon the
people to assemble in their various dis
tricts, in order to further the project.
We observe by another official publica
tion in the Republican, that Lieut. Col.
Beall, who, m the absence of Col. Wash
ington, was then the military commandent
in New Mexico, approved the above pro
ceedings, and recommended the citizens
to carry into effect the measure therein
suggested.
In alluding to the above proceedings.
the Republican says, "that differences of
opinion existed, creating political argu
ments and the subsequent formation of
two distinct parties," each of which, hav
ing its own favorite, met and nominated
their respective delegates. It then gives
the returns from all the counties, one pre
cinct (Donna Anna) yet to be heard from,

Gentlemen When I last wrote to you,
the 'crisis' was 'approaching.' Not the
one which you usually see announced in
glaring capitals, on the eve of the elections,
and in partizan prints but another. Per
haps it was the same one which played
such an important part when a certain
place in Mexico was severely threatened
with an attack, or seige, during the late
campaign there; and which, having been
given locomotion, like to have gotten 'fits.'
To enjoy the incident, the character of the
parties should be known, if not all the cir
cumstances attending it. Our force was
but a cypher in comparison with that of
the beseigers; and still more so in compar
son with the inhabitants; but our hero,
and gallant commander, somewhat tinctu
red with the courage of a Bombastes, and
zeal of a Quixotte, at the critical time re
ferred to, (we have not heard whether it
was one which 'tried men's souls,' or
blanched the cheek,') charging up to an
important point protected by a battery,
and flourisning his sword, commanded vo
ciferously, 'Fire, Capt. the crisis is
approaching.' The captain, noted for his
dry humor, very quietly and deliberately,
but with a peculiar and facetious smile
playing upon his lips, immediately com
manded: 'Fire men. His sergeant, not
seeing an enemy near, said: 'Fire at what,
captain?' the crisis9 replied the cap
tain, in his same undisturbed tone. Wheth
er a volley was fired, or what was the re
sult, never has been learned beyond the
incident, having afforded many a merry
laugh.
But to resume my thread: My crisis re
ferred to the meeting at Charlotte Harbor,
which we learn actually took place, de
spite the prediction of many of our wise
acres, who were particularly dumfounded
at Bow Jegs' venturing on board of our
steamer. The result you doubtless know

The Brenham Star speaks in highly
favorable terms of the cotton crop in

The editor of the JEgis of Truth, pub
lished at Henderson, has been informed
that large bodies of Indians are collecting
between the head waters of the Brazos
and Trinity. The object of the meeting,
he says, is not fully known, but they are
supposed to be hostile. It is said that
this assembly consists of 'all tribes' on
our frontier. Were it not for this state
ment, we might infer that this was the
council of the whole Camanche nation,
held in the fore part of September, on the
clear fork of the Brazos.
Letters have lately been received from
the trading house ou the Brazos, near the
Camanche Peak. All is quiet in that sec
tion. The Indians who have visited the
trading house, profess the warmest friend
ship for the whites, and declare that they
are not disposed to resume hostilities. We
understand, however, that they still enter
tain the opinion, that they have the right
to make war upon the Mexican settle
ments. Houston Telegraph, 25th ult.
Prospectsior the Supply of Cold.
A correspondent of the London Times
estimates the present years supply at forty
millions; and the question of the standard
value of gold will soon be presented by
competent writers. The entire product of
the American mines, according to Baron
Humboldt for a century following the dir
covery of America, say from 1 500 to J 600
was 138.000,000 sterling, or 690,000,
000, and for the century ending 1700,1,
800,000,000.
According to the same eminent writer,
the average supply of the precious metals
from America was as follows: From
1492 to 1500 $250,000; from 1500 to
1550, S3,000,000 1550 to 1600 811,009,
000, from 1600 to 1700, $16,000,000;
1700 to 1800, S35,300,000.
Whereas at this moment, we have
supply from the Ural and Siberia mines,
(sources unknown in the last century,) an
annual suppply of S20,000,000, and from
American mines, excluding California,
820,000,000. The supply from Califor
nia mines, it is estimated by many, will
be a like sum.
If the moderate supplies of coin during
the 16th and 17th centuries contributed to
add so materially to the prices of merchan
dize, what will be the result of the im
