A Saw Mill belonging to Mr. William Bradley, ituated in Washington township near Dane No. 4, caught fire on Thursday night last from a log near it which had been set on fire, and was entirely consumed. Loss about $300. No in aurance. Railroad Accident. The locomotive "United States," while draw ing a train of freight cars over the level between Plane No. 4 and 5, on Saturday afternoon, ran off the track and upset, leaving the locomotive cn one side and the tender on tho other. The engineer and firemen jumped off and were un injured. A boy, who was on at the time, had his arm slightly bruised. . The accident detained the "Jenny Lind" train two hour. Tlie "Home Journal." This admirable rapcr, published in New York, justly deserves all the praise that can be be stowed upon it. It is edited by Geo. P. Morris and N. Parker Willis, Esqs., two gentlemen of eminent ability and well known throughout the literary world. The " Home Journal" is such a paper as eannot fail to merit unbounded ad miration, its columns being adorned by matter beautifully written, emanating from sources that stamp them at once as being productions of merit and usefulness, and in the choice of se lected articles there is certainly a desire on the part of its publishers to insert information cal culated to please, and advance the interests of society. To the Ladies it is a paper replete with choice information. Arrangements are making to issue a Xew Series on the 1st of Janu ary in a style of unprecedented excellence, and the terms will be only $2 per annum; three copies for $5 ; or one copy for three years $5.

A child aged about eight months, daughter of Mr. John Farren, contractor on the Central Railroad near Bennington, was burned to death on Thursday eTcning, Gth inst. The particulars aro these. The mother of Mr. Farren was dressing the young child near the stove, hen by some accident it fell down upon the child the hot conls fnllinc unrn lipr oml rniicini D doath almost instantaneously. The grandmother, an aged woman, was so much frightened that ahc was unable to render immediate assistance to the unfortunate sufferer. Mr. Farren and his wife have met with an incalculable loss; their only child, the pride and joy of their hearts, has suddenly been taken from them. It is almost impossible to describe the agony and grief of the parents. Their cup of bitterness has been filled to overflowing. May they find that conso lation which the world cannot give, in those beautiful words of our Saviour, " Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." Movements or DlstluguKlicd in. dividual. Hon. Thomas II. Benton, late U. S. Senator, passed over the Portage Railroad on Thursday last, en route fur Missouri, where it is said he intends to place himself before the people as a candidate for the next Congress. Hun. Walter II. I.owric, of Tittsburg, one of J udgrs eltet to the Supreme Bench of this State, pel through our county on Saturday last, homewards. We saw Cwi. Tainter, Canal Commissioner, at the Summit n Saturday, on his way to West moreland couuty, looking as well as ever. M'lle Jenny Liud passed along the Portage Road in a special car, on Saturday. She goes to Harriaburg, where she gives a concert, and from thence to Boston. The rush to sec her was tremendous, and we know of some young men who were badly disappointed. We believe she is selfish, not good looking, ill-tempered, and by no raeaus obliging. Nevertheless, the sings good song. Rcdford Conference. Hon. Philip Noon of Cambria, and James B. Sansom, Esq., of Fulton, were selected on Tues day last, by the Conferees which met at Bedford on that day, as delegates to the next State Con vention, and instructed for Hon. James Buchanan. The solectiou of J udgc Noon from this county is a compliment to a man whose lifetime has been ppent in the democratic ranks, whose long resi dence here has gained for him the confidence and respect of the entire community, and who has for a score of years been the unwavering friend of James Buchanan. It should, and we hope will give general satisfaction. Tho proceedings of the Conference we will publish next week. The Cambria, Bedford and Fulton conferees were all in attendance ; the nomination of Mess. Noon and Sansom was afterwards unanimously confirmed. Xo instructions were given for! Canal Comra5siccer. Richard Brodhead. Wc sec, by the "Pennsylvania Statesman," that there is a feeble effort being made to clear this gentleman from the charge of being on "habitual disorganizer;". and of using his influ ence, or rather the influence his position gives him, for the purpose of defeating the democratic candidate for the Legislature at the late election Wc are sorry to hear that Senator Brodhead so far forgets what he owes to the party that placed him in his present position, as to link himself to a gang of political renegades, and use the influence of his party position to defeat one of its regular nominees for the Legislature, in the person of that sterling, honest and inde pendent democrat, Hutter, of the Easton Argus. We hoped better things from Mr. Brodhead, al though we have .frequently heard that he and his friends were using his franking privilege for the purpose of circulating, through the South, glanders against Hon. James Buchanan. The Easton Argus charges Mr. Brodhead dU; rectly with defeating Mr. Hutter, and we must acknowledge that if our confidence in .the .vera city of the Argus was not .one .half as great as it is, we would doubt Senator Brodhead's ortho doxy from the fact of his being defended only by the Statesman. The people doubt the political honesty of any man who has to resort to the assistance of the slanderers of Buchanan and Campbell ; political degredation will be the inheritance of those w"ho connect themselves with them and that Mr. Brodhead lias .dona so ior oonuut be a rational doubt. Is. there an honest democrat who would now exchange the political reputation of Mr. Hutter, the vilified, persecuted, and defeated candidate for the Legislature, for that of Richord Brod head, the confederate of the slanderers of Bu chanan and Campbell, and the prime mover of the organization to defeat Campbell and Hutter ? Let Richard beware; the eyes of an indignant people are upon him. Let him remember that accidents such as elevated him to his present exalted position do not occur twice in a lifetime; and we predict that, politically, the prosperous days of all and every one who connect them selves with Cameron, Cummiugs &. Co. are num bered the mark of Cain is on them. The following is the article from the Argus JHa" The Pennsylvania Statesman, well known as Gen. Cameron's organ iu Philadelphia, be sido attacking Mr. Bitiianax and Judge Camp bell, undertakes, faintly enough it is true, to defend Richard Brodhead against the charge of disorganization. That Gen. Cameron's pa per should defend his coadjutor is not at all strange embarked as they are in the same en terprise, it is their duty to stand by each other; but it is strange that Senator Brodhead should leave to a Philadelphia editor the task of deny a charga made as it were in his own presence, and that too after slumbering upon it for weeks. The denial is not intended for this latitude. Here where the facts are known it would only be laughed at. This poor apology for exculpation is to be sent abroad but it will not do. We charge as wc have done before, that for two successive years all his immediate friends who come and go at his command who work and operate at his beck and will who are in a word his instruments, have hy bargain with tli whigs got up a mongrel ticket and openly sup ported it, to the defeat of the regular nomina tions that Richard Brodhead himelf, though endeavoring to conceal his participaton in the nefarious work, secretly instigated and aided it that he counselled and controlled it, and was in fact its master spirit, and that his office was ihe place where its details were principally ar ranged. At home where the thing is well un- ucrsioou, proofs are superfluous, but if Mr Brodhead will himself deny the charge we will spread the evidence before the democrcy of tne Commonwealth. Our Flag 1 There! T - t l . inner me above head the fulton Democrat of last week has raised the name of Hon. James n.-.. ... . .. uLi.uA.tAA, ami ouresieemeu menu Saso.m, its editor, in the following able article advances solid reasons why Sir. B. should be the next President of the United States: In accordance with the repeatedly expressed ujuiuona oi iuc i cupie ol this county, and in ac cordance with our own feelings and" seutiments, we this week place the name of James Buehnnl an at our mast-head, as our choice for President of the United States in lbo2. In advocating V A i : . , r T, , . , . e ii.i uaiuis w icnujjiTanus favorite Son, we do but jrsncE to a great, national and patriotic Democrat, and to the great, National Democratic party an-i its time honored principles. .Mr Buchanan has long been known as one of the allft nn.1 tiiAct 4V.., ..1 .1.-.lr 1 . 1 ... - - ivji. huiiv.-j uiiciiuiTs 01 me latter never hesitating nor equivocating, but bold in his advocacy of Democratic doctrine, and firm as a rock in carrying it out. We honor him us a Pennsylvauian, who has done much to elevate mc character and standing of our native State e honor him as an enlightened Statesman, whose giant intellect, in the Senate and in the Cabinet, have cast imperishable honor, both at home and among the civilized nations of the world, upon our National Government and v o nonor him as a man in the social walks of life, whose private character is pure and unsullied) anu wnose benevolence is unbounded. As a i atriot and Statesman, in the uuritv of his mo tives and the honesty of his heart, he has no superior. Love of Country is a prominent trait in nis cnaractcr. As a man, and an honored citizen of the old "Keystone State," his most Ditter enemies have not dared to impeach his fair name. He is the very soul of honor lib eral and corteous, talented and high-minded, firm and immovable in his opinions,- an ardent lover 01 ucmobratic principles he has long been our ideal of a President of the United States. Pennsylvania has claims UDon her G!t States that should be cancelled long have they been neglected or set aside and she now pre- Bciiis u:r iuobi laiemeu ana popular son, James Buchanan, as her choice for the Presidpnov She demands his nomination as a right not as a favor. Since the formation of the Govern ment, a period of cpward of seventy years, the great State of Pennsylvania has not been hon ored by the elevation of one of her sons to the Chief Magistracy of the Union. And yet none nave been more loyal to the Constitution o-i the Laws than she, and nowhere are the nennl more patriotic. No President has even been elected directly by the people without hr vnt and that vote has been almost uniformly cast for a Democrat. We thereforo ni . jnsgoinimity of pur brother Democrats ia othn States, and ask that justice be done in the prc-j mises, for by elevating Buchanan they will "give honor to whom honor is due," nnd at the same time secure the services of one who will be the President of the wlrole nation, from Maine to California. All his acts whilst in the public service, proclaim him a Statesman of the most liberal and extensive. views. . Sectionalism, and narrow, bigoted measures, never found a resting i i . - i i - . . piuce iu iiis minu lie is now, as be ever has been, a whole-souled, national democrat. The exigencies of the times demand the elec tion of just such a man to the Presidency one who is known as a Bound, National Democrat, and who is not tainted, nor will not tamper with Abolitionism and Freesoilism. One too, in whom the people, both North and South, can place im plicit confidence, and in whose hands the Con stitution and its Compromises will be safe ! Such a man is Jumes Buchanan. To the utmost extent of our humble abilities, and by all fair and honorable means, we will urge his nomination by the National Democratic Convention, and if iominated, as we believe he will be, will spare no pains to elevate him to the highest position, in our opinion, in the world a position to which he will add grace and dig nity, and a trust winch he will never betray In so doing we will but perform a duty which we owe to posterity and to our glorious country hilst we ' advocate the claims of Mr. Bu chanan, and believe that his nomination would lead to a glorious Domocratic Triumph, we shall not disparage the claims of .Cass, Douglass, Hoivsio-n, Bltler, Foote, and others who arc named in connection with the same office. cw York "Art Union."

Many of our readers will recollect the invete rate story teller and everlasting taller, Seth Clov-er, who s through this region last win ter, peddling a patent right for punif 3. Well that self-same Seth has been elected by a majo rity of about 10,000 to the most re-ponsible oflice in the State -of. Pennsylvania, vh: Canal Commissioner. Folks up in Clarion, his own county, which gave him 1100 majority ' may think that Seth is a great man, but people down here would not suppose him to be fit for the of fice. Irontotcn Register, Ohio (Whig.) Seth gave us, also, a call, told us stories, tal ked politics with us, predicted his nomination and election this fall. He seems to succeed well in most of his undertakings, as he disposed of his pump right in a short time and went back to nlJ lr'nylvuny rejoicing. Success to Seth in his new position, and may he be (in) Clover all his blessed days. Portsmouth DesjHiieh, Ohio ( Whig) The Whigs will'fir.d that Seth Clover can turn his hand to any kind f labor, rather than plunder or starve the treasury. Seth is one of God's nobleman, who never sleeps while he Las his work to perform. During his stay here, we became intimately ac quainted with him, and found him as well versed in politics as in pumps. We are under many obligations to Mr. Clover for his warm personal feelings, nnd no one voted for him in the Key stone State, who rejoices more ai his cuccess than we do. Columbus, Ohio, Stotesman. Cane to Mr. Uuclianan. e cut the following from the St. Louis Union : Wc had a visit yesterday from Dr. Lieh, of Lucas county, Iowa, who is on his way east, and is the bearer of a splendid hickory cane to the Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, from the sterling Democracy of th.-t.new and growing country. e learn from him that a large por tion of Iowa are the warm and devoted friends of that distinguished statesman, and advocate his nomination by the Democratic .National Con vention, not only on account of his commanding talents and devotion to the great interests of Democracy, but because of his availability and uevotion to the -Constitution and the Union This tribute of respect will be more highly ap prcciated by Mr. Buchanan than a more costly gift. The stick, a rough and plain hickory club, is emblematic of the Democracy in Iowa, irom wnom it comes, and is moreover a fitting tribute to the man who resembles Gen. Jackson so closely in character, and who, if eleeted to the Presidency, will, we feel assured, carry out the true doctrines t)f the Constitution with as mndi tirmness and energy as when Jackson himself was at the helm to guide the 6liip of State through all her storms and troubles. Drawln? for Terms by the prcme Court Judges. Su- Harrisburg, Nov. 14. The drawing for the term each Judge of the Supreme jCourt, recently elected, is to fulfil, took place in this city, to day. Jeremiah S. Black drew the three year term, and is hence, the Chief Justice for that term. Ellis Lewis drew six years, and will fol low Judge Black, as Chief Justice. J. B. Gib son drew nine years. Walter II. Lowrie drew twelve years, and Richard S. Coulter drew the full term of fifteen years. The first election to fill a vacancy, created by law, will be that of Judge Black, and will be for fifteen years; and the succeeding elections will be in the order of the shorter terms, as they stand above. The Dublin World, a radical Irish paper, talks about the annexation of Ireland to the United States. Go ahead, r New and Dangerous Counterfeit t New Counterfeit $5 notes on the Philadelphia Bank have made their appearance. They are letter "A," variously filled tip. The general appearance of the note is good. The medalions and the faces of the females in the vignette ore imperfect. Two commas between the names of " Underwood and Bald and Draper A Under wood, are omitted. The dots between the words 44 Five Five," on the upper and lower margins are oblong in the good notes, and square in the counterfeit. We are indebted to the editors of Bicknell's Reporter, for the following description of a new counterfeit. Lancaster Bank, Lancaster, Pa., l's Re-issue relief. The general appearance of these notes is capitally calculated to deceive the unwary, though the paper is somewhat different from that on wliich the genuine are printed the lat ter being white tinged with pink. The engra ving, as a whole, is quite defective. The figure in the Vignette has but three .fingers on the left hand. So also the female on the left part of .the note, who has an arm round an anchor :lier right hand is minus a finger. Above this figure is a female whose right arm rests upon the top of the anchor; in the genuine her neck is bare whilst in the bad note there seems to be two or three strings of beads around it; her right arm is very badly engraved and is indistinct ; in the genuine it is perfectly formed and quite as dis tinct as any part of the engraving. The names of the Engravers, Tappen, Carpenter, Casilear & Co., poorly done. Singular Circumstance. The Memphis Enquirer relates the following curious and interesting occurrence; "Since the commencement of the term of the Circuit Court for our county, it became necessary for Merri weather, brother of the gentleman some time since murdered in our county, to attend .as prose cutor of Peterson, the perpetrator of the .horrible crime. It so happened that he rode the horse that his deceased brother was riding an .the dav of his murder by Peterson. He was in the coni- pCr' f sonic friend, and travelled the same road, xie "rse is a very fine spirited bay, do cile in temper, an.'J with an intelligent eye. When they approachea n?r the scene of the murder, the horse mauifestect evident signs of alarm and restlessness. 'Observing the singular conduct of the liorsC, Merriwetlier determined to give him the rein, and watch his movements. As he approached near the spot of the murder, lie elevated his head and tail, and appeared to be -watcMul and fre quently uttered fhe snort so peculiar to spirited horses when apprehensive of danger. The noble animal finally smelt the ground and trailed the course which the body of his former master had been conveyed. by the murderer. He finally reached the spot, smelt the ground and pawed and snorted. He then took a circle in the woods at a tmo&eraite toot, returned to the place where the "body was "found, .and repeated fhe same cere mony. This Tie did several times in succession. And when reined up it was with great difficulty that he was forced to leave the place. Isihis instinct, reason, or what is it? A Mortifying Fait The Southern Literary Messenger in n in teresting, although melancholy notice -of tlc resting place of the bones of Ex-Preeidcnt X'adi son, relates the following: "A correspondent of the Southern Era, a pleasing weekly paper of our city, devoted to the cause of Temperance, describing a visit to Montpelier the former seat of President Mad ison tells that there is not even the rudest headstone to mark the spot where the remains of that illustrious man are deposited. This in telligence fills us with surprise. It is indeed a mrtifyiug fact that one of Virginia's most distinguished sons should be thus neglected in the grave. A few years and who shall say, in the strange mutations and vicissitudes of trme, that the ploughshare may not rudely disturb the nshes of the mighty dead? No lineal des cendants were given the great statesman to perpetuate his family and guard the Lares of the hemcstead. But shall not the burial-place of Madison be iconsidered sacred by all Virginians, and should -n the exact six feet of earth which his ashes occupy be marked with some endu- Ting memorial, while those jet live who can point at the spot, beyond the possibility of a doubt? -It may be remarked here as a singular om ission on part of the Commonwealth, that neither public monument, nor statue, nor painting, has ever been erected to Mr. Madison. If wc mis take not, one of the statuos to be executed by Crawford for the pedestrals a round the base of the Virginia Washington Monument, is to rep resent him as the type of jurisprudence. We would if possible, have his form and features transmitted to posterity in every way, in marble and on canvass, to be seen in our capitols and universities while the Commonwealth shall sur vive. But this is of inferior moment to the du ty -of guarding his remains against desecration, for what need has he of a monument while stands the perfect constitution of his country, which came from his hands, totus, teres atqvt rotundus? What needs our hero for his honored bones, The labor of an age in piled stones? Or that his hallowed reliques should be hid Under a starry poiuting pyramid? Dear .son of memory, great heir of fame What need's thou such weak witness of thy name? Thou in our wonder and astonishment Hast built thyself a live-long monument. The proposition for a mixed Convention be tween the Bentonites and Anti-Bentouites, don't meet with much favor from -"Old Bullion" as will be seen from the following extract of a let ter, from him to M. Blair, Esq., of St. Louis: "I answ er instantly and truly, that I would rather sit in council with the six thousand dead, who died of cholera in St. Louis, than to go into convention with such a gang of scamps, and that is my sentiment to day. The point is to defeat them; the public require it We 6hall be stronger when they are gone, and what is more wo shall be clean." ELEVEN DAYS LATER. FKOM CAIAFOKHIA. j ARRIVAL OF THE 1 A - ILL New Yobk, Nov. 1C, 11 P. M. The steamship Daniel Webster arrived at half- past 10 o'clock this evening, via San Juan, with California Unites to the 15th ult., being eleven days later. The agricultural iuterests were prosperous. Tlio minino now M Ttrv faVOTabl. NeW discoveries of gold are daily being made. The quartz mining attracts great attention The steamer California, from San Francisco, tnYk niitppn linn dred thousand in cold. Two other steamers took large amonts. Sixty thousand dollars have been received in the Treasury of California, for fines, taxes and licenses. Crime was on the increase in San Francisco. Many criminals have returned from the interior. The yield of gold for the present year will be greater than for any previous year Steam communication between California and ,the .Sandwich Islands is about being accom plished. Movements arc on foutibr a Railroad to Sacra- mento city. Real Estate was active, and advancing in price. The Alta Californian thinks that the move ment for a division of the State will amount to but little. The project for supplying San Francisco with water seems to be falling through. The steamer Republic, on a voyage from Pa jiania, struck on a rock twenty miles from San Francisco. The water ran in at a rapid rate and extinguished the fires. The passengers were rescued, and finally the steamer was got off badly damaged. The papers of the 0th are filled with outrages, duels, and murders. There is a strong talk of reviving the Vigilance Committee. Major Reading, the late Whig candidate for Governor, was badly wounded by the accident' discharge of a pistol, while hunting, Lynching to a considerable -extent was still practiced in the mines. The Mormons have purchased the Rancho del Bernardino for $100,000. They intend to build a large city there to connect with tke great Salt Lake city, by railroad, and secure a port is San li'ieg? f1" their maritime intercourse with the world. The news from Southern California is of the utmost importance. The papers of that section are coming out strongly for a Convention to divide the State. Santa Barbara is the place fixed for holding the Convention. anous coun ties are engaged in selecting delegates. An ad dress is to be prepared by the Convention for circulation, and a petition is to be presented to the Legislature at an .early day, in favor of a division of the "State. The news from the miners at Carson's Valley is very Srseournging. A company of sixty were taking out but two ounces daily. The miners of the Middle Fork were doing extremely well. Several new discoveries of gold Jiave becu made at Cold Spring. .VurifeTous quartz has been discovered within the city limits of San Francisco. The teamer North America, arrived frm Panama in thirteen days, .the quickest trip on record. The rainy season is abut commencing. The financial affairs of California arc very flattering. FROM OUEtrON. The advices from Oregon bring tho tonchiiivn of important treaties with the Iudians. Valuable gld mines have been discovered in Oregon also a valuable mine of Aathracite coal ia Charlca River, f.ur miles from Astoria. Gov. Gaines has left on a visit to ?n Fran cisco. THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Vhe news from the Sandwich Islands docs not possess much interest. Mount Maunsola, which lias been closed for a long time, is now belching forth liquid lava. The island of Kaheolane was on fire through out the whole length, for 14 miles the shrub bery having been accidentally fired by some fishermen. The island is uninhabited, except by a few convicts. A letter from San Francisco says that the mines are yielding a good return, and the com mencement of another year, it is believed, will find our foreign obligations much relieved, and a large proportion of our receipts from the miners will remain invested with us. Much more con fidence is being felt in most kinds of securities, and in city and State stocks an improved feeling exists. Our city has recovered, to a great de gree, from the disasters by fire, and merchants and business men are again on their feet, with more energy than ever. Many foreign houses have been permanently established in our city, and a large amount a capital is seeking invest ment here. The California Courier says that a gentleman called on us yesterday, and exhibited a letter from a friend in the mines, dated Sandy Ber, or Yankee Slide, which gives a glowing account of the mines in that region, and that some $30,000 per week is taken from the slide, and that it is not uncommon for a claim fifteen feet to yield from $1000 to $2500 per day. From every region of the gold diggings we hear the most encouraging news. Interesting Southern Items. Baltimore, Nov. 1410 P. M. The Southern mail to-night brought the back mail due from New Orleans. The ship Francis Fage, arrived at New Or leans, on the 4th, from New Y'ork, with 260 U. S. troops. The Havana correspondent of the New Orleans Ficayune says that Mr. Thrasher, the late editor of the Faro Industrial, will undoubtedly be banished for ten years. Some of his friends are afraid that he will be garroted, as the Cu bans are afraid of his extensive knowledge of the Island.
