Try,
Soldiers and Democrats
Recollect that the -Whig party have nomina
ted for the office of Canal Commissioner, Hon.
John Strohm, of Lancaster county. You will
enquire who he is. . We can tell you. -. When
our country was engaged in a war with Mexico,
and many a brave and fearless volunteer from
Cambria was in the heart of the Mexican terri
tory, willing and ready to yield up his life in
defence of his country and- his country's flag,
John Strohm was a member of Contn-esa. and
when a bill was pending to vote supplies to that
noble band of Americans, he with a number of
other Whigs voted against it Keep it before
the people that the Whig candidate for Canal
Commissioner voted against supplies to the
army while in Mexico. A man that would do
that cannot be supported by any person, who
in his heart, admires the returned soldiery for
their gallant conduct in that campaign. The
people will bear in mind his unkind conduct
towards our brave men. When his name is for
gotten, -
Each soldier's name
Shall shine untarnished on the rolls of fame,
And stand the example of each distant age.

Btgk-.Ou Monday of last -week, in company
with two gentlemen, one from Philadelphia,
the other from Plane No. 4, this county, we
started in a low back'd car on a Trouting expe
dition. Our route for four miles was throueh
a section of country well cultivated, and dotted
with numerous fine cottage houses and farms,
then for a league, "through unfrequented
woods," "no trace of human habitation nigh,"
and as we journeyed along thought that
V This great solitude is quick with life;
And briars that scarce have learned the fear of
men
Are here."
The evening late brought us ta the familiar
spot where we have so often caught numbers of
the finny tribe, and ere night had closed upon
us the party had caught 56 trout. We return
ed to the nearest farm house and after a hearty
supner laid our weary bodies down to rest, two
of us on some wool sacks the other on a mat-,
trass laid on the floor. We slept soundly until
four o'clock in the morning, when we arose.
and after providing some bait, and placing in
our haversacks a store of provisions for the day,
we started on our mission. We reached the
creek at sunrise, when, after an early bath our
No. 4, friend left us, and as his form receded
from our view, he cast "one long and lingering
look behind" bade us farewell, wished us luck
and was hidden from our sight. By one o'clock
in the afternoon we had caught 217 fine, beau
tiful trout, averaging about six inches each, we
both enjoyed the rare sport, concluded to dine,
and in the language of Milton
"Under a tuft of 6hade that on the green
Stood whispering soft, by the clear running
brook,
They sat them down; and made ease
More easy, wholesome thirst and appetite
More grateful, and to their dinner fruits they
fell."
We arrived home safely at six o'clock in the
evening, fatigued, but abundantly satisfied,
having caught 273 trout and killed several squir
rels and pigeons.
The Whig Nominations.

Forjudges of the Supreme Court they baye
Richard Coulter, of Westmoreland, - Wm. M.
Merideth, of Philadelphia, Wm. Jessup, of
Susquehanna, George Chambers, of Franklin,
and Joshua A. Comly, of Montour. Judge
Coulter is not popular because he opposed Gen.
Markle when he was the Whig candidate for
Governor, and assisted in defeating him. Mer
ideth is a man of considerable ability, but his
connection with the Galphin Cabinet ts Secre
tary of the Treasury has rendered his name
universally odious to the people, and many
whigs here say they cannot support him. Jes
sup is said to be a strong abolitionist and is of
course a friend of Gov. Johnston. The pconle
I cannot support a man of that kind. Comly and
thaEJbers, the first a lawyer and the latter
lately appointed judge, are men of clever capa
city, but in legal learning and research the
whole ticket is au impotent one, and does no5
carry with it the confidence of the party.
The Democratic nominations are much better
and abler men, and as such the people will
support them. So look out Mr.' Whigs for the
defeat of your whole State ticket next fall by
a real Jackson majority.

Tuesday the 24th ult, and the Convention de

of Bigler, Clover and the Democratic Judicial
ticket, fjr Hon. James Buchanan for President,
pledging 2500 majority for Bigler and Clover.
and that every member of the Convention would
support the whole ticket. The convention was
harmonious and the best feeling prevailed. The
"Star of the West" will do her duty next fall
to the party and the nominees. Success to
their efforts.
JBgyWe announce to the public that the ap
pointment of Hon. Secretary has been bestowed
upon us by the Art Union Society of New York.
This society is intended to promote the success
of the fine arts in the U. S. and every person
subscribing $5, yearly, is a member, for which
he receives in return, a monthly copy of tie
Art Union Bulletin worth at least $2 a year,
from four to six American engravings. lrt?e

chance in the annual drawing of paintings.
- a or

specimen engravings on hand for inspection.
fiOn the outside of this week's paper will
be found an able letter from a Philadelphia
Waie -Jwlng. why Gov. Johnston cannot be
re-elected. A feeling of the kind shadnwed
forth in this letter pervades the State. - The
article taken from the rittsburg "Chronicle" is
well written and abounds in truth. This paper
is a neutral publication and its views are there
fore entitled to much consideration.
J&6yIt is a pleasure to state that the services
of an invaluable correspondent in New York,
have been tendered us and we have accepted
the same. Hereafter our readers will be favor
ed with a letter from New York about semi
monthly, in which will be found a general ac
count of all important events that transpire in
that section. To obtain this we are at consid
erable expense, but the editor is determined to
make his paper one of the best in the interior.
I he first letter from New York is published this
week, to which we direct your attention.

Hot Work.
The canvass in Mississippi between the Union
and Disunion candidates is growing warm; so
much so that pistols are being substituted for
rhetoric On the 12th inst. Gen. John Free
man, the Union candidate for Congress in the
Third District, and Judge G. W. L. Smith, of
Yicksburg, fought a duel opposite that city, on
the Louisiana shore. The Vicksburg Whig
alluding to it, says :
" They exchanged five shots each, with pis
tols, at ten paces, the fifth and last of which
was effectual, Freeman having wounded Smith
in the back, the ball coursing across the shoul
der blades. It did not enter deeply into the
.
flesh, and is not considered dangerous. The
cause which we learn led to the hostile maeting
was this a correspondent of the Mississippian
in speaking of the speeches of Foote, Freeman
lilt.- SJITR thflt in Smittl'a cnatvh ha dutinnnmil
Foote as a traitor, and Freeman as a coward
and libeller.' This was resented, and termina
ted with the above result. Judge Smith was
taken to Jackson on the rail road in the evening
train."
Death or Gen. Arbuckie.
We have received intelligence of the death of
Brevet Brigadier General, Matthew Arbuckie,
who died at Fort Smith, Arkonsas, on the 11th
instant General Arbuckie was a native
of
Virginia, and has been for many years in com
mand in tne w est. He entered the army on the
3d of March, 1799, as an ensign; was commis
sioned as a full colonel on the 16th. of March,
1820, and was bre vetted as a brigadier general
on the 16th of March, 1830.

cations.
Our New York Correspondence.
New Yobic, June 25, 1850.
EDITOR OF THE MOUNTAIN SENTINEL :
i The Europa arrived at Halifax from Liverpool
at a quarter before nine o'clock,' yesterday
morning, with 92 passengers. '
' The Great Exhibition continued to attract
immense, numbers " of visitors ; but the attend
ance of the ; working classes has not been as
large as was generally anticipated. The weather
in England, during the week preceding the
Europa' s departure, was warm and genial ; and
the hay and grain crops were in the most Weal
thy state. Affairs in France were tranquil.
Trade and commerce continued to improve.
The war in Algiers had been brought to a con
clusion by the suppression of the rebellion.
The disastrous conflagrations in San Francis
co and Stockton, have not produced as much
effect in this city as was expected. There is
every reason to believe, however, they will have
a powerful influence on the standing and posi
tion of those who are connected with the Cali
fornia trade. - Two-thirds of the losses in San
Francisco and Stockton will, undoubtedly, fall
on New York. It will be some time, however,
before they begin to operate in such a manner
as will be palpable to the public eye. The great
fire in this city, ia December, 1835, although it
destroyed property to the amount of Twenty
Millions of Dollars, and ruined half of the
commercial men of that day, did not show its
effects till the following May, when the revul
sion commenced; and, even then, the first
break-down in consequence of it, took place in
New Orleans. This was succeeded here by
movement that smashed, in less than ten days,
five hundred of the principal houses in the city,
A multitude of causes combined to produce that
terrible revulsion in commerce and trade. Un
fortunately, the recent calamities in California
are accompanied by a revulsion in the cotton
trade, which has been felt in New Orleans, and
elsewhere in the Southern States, to some con
siderable extent; and it may be still further
felt, if the price of that staple continues to
diminish in the great marts on the other side of
the Atlantic. :
"Bloomerism" is bound to be triumphant in !
New York. Bifurcated garments are on the
rise, and long skirts are drooping. The more
enthusiastic daughters of Eve are holding pub
lic meetings, and taking other steps, to hasten
the speedy adoption of a style of dress that
shall approximate that worn by their revered
ancestors, much more nearly than the present
female costume.
A committee consisting of Mrs. Gore Nichols,
Mrs. E. Oakes Smith, and another lady, whose
name 1 cannot now remember, has been an-
pointed to "put the thing" through in the
speediest manner possible. These ladies have
enlisted the potential aid of Knox, the pet hat
ter of Uppertendom, who has set about bringing
out a new style of " Bloomer hats," which shall
prove so irresistably attractive, that no woman
can refrain from wearing one. Knox is a lucky
fellow. His store in Fulton street is already
beginning to be besieged by young, gay, and
beautiful girls, all anxious to know when those
"loves of hats" will be ready. Hats off to the
blooming Bloomers.
An American gentleman is negotiating with
the English patentee of the Fire Annihilator,
for its exclusive use in this country. The sum
required by the inventor for a patent-right for
the United States is $180, 000. A writer in the
Boston Transcript thus describes an experiment
which he witnessed.
"I went with the gentlemen to the open lots
in the -upper part of the city, taking with us
one of the hand machines. Here we purchased
a lard barrel with one head out the staves well
soaked with grease. We filled the barrel half
full of pine shavings and sticks, and poured
over the whole, a pint of spirits of turpentine.
This was 6et fire to, the wind blowing briskly
at the time. After it had burned ten or fifteen
minutes, so as to become a living coal and flame
inside, I took the "Annihilator," gave it a rap
upon the top with my fist (thereby breaking
the phial cantaining the Sulphuric Acid and
Chlorate of Potash, and igniting the whole mass
of chemicals,) when, instantly, an immense
volume of white vapor rushed out of the aper
ture in the cover. This I turned upon the
flames, and, in less than four seconds, every vestige
of flame and fire was extinguished."
lne Count v lllaneuva, Intendente or Treasurer
of Cuba, arrived at this port on Friday, in the
war-steamer rizarro, en route for Spain. The
Count a noble specimen of a Spanish Hidalgo
of the old school, is seventy-five years of age,
and has resigned his oflice, on the plea of ad
vanced age, and his wife's declining health. It
is whispered, however, that the expense of the
large military reinforcements lately sent to the
island, and the heavy pecuniary demands of the
government at Madrid, were a drain upon the
revenue which he found it impossible to meet
without the imposition of new taxes a measure
which he feared might drive the Creole popula
tion to rebellion. The Queen hopes, it is said,
to induce her old and faithful servant to return.
Yours truly, . FITZROY.
The Slave Trade In Brazil.
The Emperor of Brazil, in his speech to the
Chambers, on the 30th ult, declared that the
almost entire extinction of the slave trade had
been effected, by the vigorous enforcement of
the law of 4th September last and invoked their
co-operation to prevent its resuscitation. A
letter dated Rio Janeiro, 12th ult, says:
" The Government is determined to put down
this infamous traffic, and will spare no one who
may commit himself. The Brazilian war stea
mer Thetis gave chase to a slave schooner.
which, off the bar of Itabapoana, succeeded in
landing her cargo about 150. The junior offi
cer commanding a small detachment on that
part of the coast "was offered $6,000 (750,)
by the smuggleas, which he refused, and took
possession of the blacks, who were brought
hither in the Thetis. The name of a recently
created Portugueso baron is mentioned connec
ted with this affair, and if it can be proved that
he is compromised, the rigor of the law will be
