Pictures of our Loved Ones. Blest be the art that can immortalize, That art that baffles time's tyrannic claim. How sweet it is in after days, when me mories aric and dreams of bygone times, and long forgotten things come softly to the heart. How sweet we say it is to gaze upon the like ness of some dear friend, with whom we once associated, whether far away, sailing over prairies of the far west, wandering in strange lands, across the blue waters, or slee ping be Death the eold clods of earth, or the roaming wave. How pleasant the thought, that the art "that can immortalize," can give us the perfect resemblance of our absent and loved ones, till we often can imagine it is reality that life and animation alone are wanting for often as we gaze upon a good picture, the eyes seem to sparkle with brilliancy and the lips appear as if about to speak. A Daguerreotype is far more preferable than a painting, simply because it is far more correct and more convenient ; the form stands out, as it were, from the plate, and gives every expression of the face as it was in the original. The Daguerreotype art Is, without doubt, one of the greatest inventions of the nineteenth century, - and its benefit to man is incalculable. Though simple in its operation, yet the human mind cannot comprehend exactly its strange mysteries ; its shadow is caught upon the plate, as if by magic, and we can only wonder that it is so. Those who have not yet procured these precious mementoes, we would advise to oall upon Mr. William Rciie, on High street, Ebcnsburg, in the front-room of the dwelling of Mr. Lewis Hoover, where you will be ob ligingly entertained, and furnished with line nesscs that will please and delight the most fastidious.

Col. Henry & Mott A Noble Vindication. We invite the careful attention of ocr read ers to the following correspondence. During the late canvass we on several occasions spoke of Mr. Mott, and denied in the most emphatic terms the imputations of his con nection with the Know-Nothings which were published in the opposition presses. In doing so we relied not only upon his manly letter, but upon our knowledge of the man; upon the assurance of the sterling Democracy of the region in which he resides, and upon the fact that he was making strenuous exertions for the Buccess of his colleagues upon the Demo cratic State Ticket. The action of the Know Nothings in making hin their nominee, how ever, and the fact that they have voted for him, (although they were evidently induced to pursue that course for the reason that Mr. Darsie, his opponent, was an adopted citizen and because they wished to blind Democrats as to the real object of their organization (by having one Democrat upon their ticket,) has thrown around his position a shadow which we rejoice to say is now completely dispelled. The letter addressed to Mr. Morr was writ ten by gentlemen residing in his own Dis trict, several of whom are well known to the Democracy of the State. They are familiar with his course during the canvass, and with his character. His manly answer, will, we trust, set at rest all doubts which may Dave existed upon the subject, and will we are sure rejoice the Democracy of the State, and tho roughly satisfy them that the confidence they have bestowed upon Mr. Mott has not been misplaced: Merchants' Hotel. ) Philadelphia, Oct, 16, 1854. J Col. Henry S. Mott,' Dear Sir ': Having been your intimate friends, and having witnessed your course in politics for many years, we have never known an occasion where our confidence in your per sonal integrity and political orthodoxy was wavered for a moment. You can readily re alize our surprise and indignation, therefore, when we heard your name associated with a sccret'and prescriptive organization, after you had formally accepted a nomination for Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania from the Dem ocratic party, whose advocate you have always been, and whose principles you have ever defended. Your letter peremptorily and positively denying all connection with this Order, published in August last, was regarded as abundantly satisfactory at the time it ap peared, but notwithstanding this broad and emphatic denial, and in the face of your offer at all times, to make any lurtuer statement that your friends might require, we are pained to see that many Democrats continue to re gard you as identified with this clandestine and prescriptive Order. X he Iact tnat you have been lamely voted for by the members of this Order is still evidently the real cause of this suspicion. We know how sensitively you feel any imputation upon your pursenal and political character we know how unjust any such suspicion is we know bow ardently you cherish in the Democratic party.-we know that you would scorn to belong to any otner political organization, and above all, how much you are opposed to all secret combina tions for political purposes we know, too, that in your own county of Pike, you were the bold, active, and public op-ouentof Know Xothingism, as the result of the late election in that county will show. We knowf that night and day before that election, you were engaged in contradicting the declaration that you belonged to this Order, and in rallying your friends in opposition to it, and in sup port of your colleagues on the Domocratic ticket. We know, finally, how proudly you can repel any and all assaults, in the slightest degree affecting your standing as a Democrat and a citizen. While we cheerfully pledge ourselves to the Democratic party of Pennsyl vania, that you are as true to the Democratic faith as any man living, and as hostile to the Order of Know-Nothings, as its mo;t con scientious and nujRt uncompromit-ing opponent we address you this letter to give you an op portunity over your own name, to answer these unfounded assaults of your foes and the mistaken suspicions of your friends. Respectfully yours, Asa Packer, James M Porter, William Overfikld, David Barxett, John N. Hutchinson, L. F. Barnes. Philadelphia, Oct 16, 1854. Gentlemen: I am grateful to you as old. and valued friends for the generous and elo quent letter you have addressed to me You do me no more than justice in expressing the belief that I have not had, and have not now. the slightest connection with any secret polit ical organization however, called; and I feel that I deserve your confidence as a Democrat and a man as fully and as entirely at the present day. as at any former period. To the same extent do I feel entitled to the con fidence of theDemocratic party of Pennsylvania When the imputation that I was a member of the secret order to which you refer was made, I took the first proper occasion to repel it in strong, unmeasured and emphatic language; I proposed to add to this denial any other that might be required at my hands It is alleged in some of the Whig papers that I . did not again and again repeat this contradiction But I prize my own character too highly I value my principles too dearly L have labored too long and too zealously in the Democratic ranks to deem it necessary that I should volunteer a reply to every imputation upon my standing as a Democrat. All that you say of my opinions in regard to this accusation, I cheerfully endorse; and I am triad that I have had furnished to me an opportunity that enables me at the 6anie time to point to you, gentlemen, as my host ages and once more to declare that I am not now and never nave been a member of any other political organization but the Democra tic party. When I become the candidate of the Democratic party for Canal Commissioner I depended upon that alone for my election While I shall carefully study the interests of the whole people, I can represent the inter csts of no other party in the official position I am about to assume. I am for the largest degree of civil and religious liberty, and cannot subscribe, and never have subscribed to the doctrine that any citizen known to the Constitution as such, shall be proscribed from civil office, or in any degree debarred of his rights because of his religious belief or the place of his birth. In the late canvass, I diligently exerted my humble abilities to secure the triumph of the Democratic party and its principles, and to advance the success of my able and well tried colleagues on the ticket, and it is with pride and pleasure that I refer to the result in my own section of the State, and particularly in my own representative district, as an evidence of the truth of what I say. I am aware that the confidence of a few of my Democratic, friends has been somewhat disturbed by the peculiar circumstances which surround my position but I trust this definition of my views and actions may satisfy all Truly, your friend, HENRY S. MOTT To Hon. Asa Packer, L F- Barnes, Esq., Hon Wm. Overfield, and others. A C031PLIJIE.VT TO GOV. DIGLCR. Governor Biglcr, who has been staying for some days at the Merchants' Hotel, in our city, was complimented last evening by a most beautiful serenade. An immense number of citizens, attended by a splendid band of music, proceeded to the hotel, and after the musical exercises were gone through, Gover nor Bigler made his appearance, was intro duced to the audience, and delivered a short but eloqucne speech. He was frequently in terrupted by demonstrations of applause, and when allusions were made to the battle yet to be fought, for the Constitution and the Civil and Religious rights of all citizens, the plau dits testified with what earnestness the Demo cracy of this Commonwealth have enlisted in the campaign Governor Biglcr has endear ed himself to the people of this Stale by a bold and manly avowal of the fundamental prin ciples of the party, and his defeat does not bring with it a single stain, upon his public character. His last address to the people is truly a republican document and will stand as the best evidence of the basis on which the administration of this model Chief Magistrate has rested The following is an abstract of Governor Biglcr's remarks : It was a very common thing for a success ful candidate who had honors to bestow and a long official career before him, to be thus greeted, but it was unusual for one who occu pied his position, which was rather that of a setting than a rising sun to be thus greeted. He had endeavored to discharge his official duties faithfully and to the best of his abili ty he had proclaimed to the people of the State his honest views and principles and though stricken down by an unseen secret soef his heart was cheerful and his spirits by Duoyant He had stood upon the doctrines of the Con stitution; be had contended for the political equality of citizens of all classes; he had op posed the formation of secret societies for the accomplishment of political objects; be had not striven, as some persons falsely allege, to array one portion of the community against another, but had made the principles of Republican equality his guide and had throughout his whole official career faithfully adherred to them and but a very few years would elapse before the correctness of his pos- ition would be universally acknowledged. It was not the first time that the party he belonged to had been overthrown. It was defeated in 1840, and again in 1848, but the very measure upon which it had been tem porarily defeated, had since been gloriously vindicated and triumphantly established. It would be so hereafter, and whatever might be his future destiny, whether he should re tire forever into private, or again participate in political lifo, it should be bis pride and pleasure to belong to the great party of the country, of the Constitution, of Republican freedom, of equal rights, and of progress, which had left a glorious impress upon the pages of our national history. For the short remainder of his official term he would studiously endeavor to discharge to the best of his abilities his Executive duties, and he would ever gratefully remember the kindness which he had received frem the peo ple of Philadelphia, and of this great Com monwealth A Caution to Enterers of Public Lands. It having been alleged to the General Land Office that "some persons have obtained 12,000 acres of public domain, under the guise of the graduation law, passed at the last session of Congress, acknowledging that they have evaded the law on the ground that it does not require them to state when they de sign making the settlement under it," we have to say that, under the construction which the Secretary of the Interior and Com missioner of the General Land Office put on the law in question, no such swindling entries will be patented. The construction of the act, which these authorities announces is, that il - 3 .1 a - i l iue reuuvuuu ui pneu is 10 operate wmy in favor of three classes of persons ; First To persons who were actual settlers and occupants at the time of the enactment of the law or such as may hereafter become such settlers, and who may be entitled to a pre emption. Second To persons who desire the same "for his or her own use, and for the purpose of actual settlement and cultivation." That is, where the land is desired for the immediate use of that particular person as a farm for himself or family and for no other use -or pur pose ; and Third To persons who already occupy or own land previously acquired, who may be desirous of securing public land adjoining that so occupied or owned, with a view to the ex-, tension of their present "farm or plantation." No other person can rightfuliy avail himself of the provisions of the graduation law in this respect. All entries made under other cir- cumstanccs will be regarded by ,the General J that stream and is said by those best acquaint Lani Office as illegal, aud therefore void i cd with the different routes to be forty miles XANSAS TERRITORY. The following geographical and topographi cal description, which we clip from the Kansas Herald, will be read with interest, and may be of service to those who intend to emigrate to that land : . - "Beginning at a point on the western boundary of the State of Missouri, where the thirty-seventh parallel of north latitude crosses the same ; thence west on said parallel to the eastern boundary of New Mexico ; thence north on said boundary to latitude thirty eight, thence following said boundary west ward to the east boundary of the territory of Utah, on the summit of the Rocky Mountains, thence northward on said summit to the for tieth parallel of latitude ; thence east on raid parallel to the western boundary of the State of Missouri ; thence south with the western boundary of that State to the place of be ginning." These. limits give an extent of 210 miles from north to south, and about C50 miles from east to west, making ?n area of nearly 140,000 square miles The Missouri river, for a distance of 150 miles, including its meander ings, forms the north-eastern boundary of the territory ; that is, commencing four or five miles above the mouth of the Big Nemaha, and running with the Missouri river to a poist near or perhaps at the mouth of the Kansas. The Kansas river, from the junction of the Smoky Hill and Republican Forks, flow al most due east for 180 miles, and divides the territory for that distance into two parts near ly equal. Almost all the tributaries of the Kansas flow into it from the north side, and their ge neral course is from north and northwest to south and southeast. These tributaries are very numerous, the most important of wuich are the Grashoppcrs, the Big Vermillion, Little Nermillion, Big Blue, Little Blue, the Republican, and Solomon's Forks. Nine tenths of the waters of the Kansas are re ceived from its north side. The lands in the vicinity of these streams and their numerous branches are well wooded with a heavy growth of oak. black walnut, hickory, and other valuable timber. The soil of both prairie and timber is a miracle of fertility, being the rich dark mould known as "mulatto land. The waters of these streams are pure and clear. running over pebbly beds, and afford a con stant and almost unlimited water power In the extreme northern part of the terri tory there are some fine streams flowing into . . . creek. W olf river, and a portion of the ig v t i .li ?i i?v..j. e .1. Nemaha and all its tributaries from the South These too are well timbered and have a con stant supply of water contributed by thousands of never failing springs. An easy access to the immense bodies of timber on the Missouri will afford incalculable advantages in building np vms and cities, and opening farms in the .. - .. . . . portion of the Territory adjacent to that river. The sl1 of the ent,re northern half of the Territory for 150 miles west from the Missouri is 0f the very best quality and as well sup- plied with timber as any prairie country of equal extent. For spring water it will excel any ponion of the United States. This is the region of country that for some years past has excited the cupidity of the frontiersmen, and more recently that of the California emigrants. Its fame has gone abroad through every neigh borhood in our broad land, as an almost fa bulous paradise. On the south side of the Kansas river, the Waukareusa is the only tributary of note, the general course of which is nearly parallel with that stream. The dividing ridge le- wecn the wafers of the Kansas and the Ar kansas is very near the former. The Wau kareusa is well timbered and will afford some water power. Almost the whole of this re gion is drained by the minor tributaries of the Arkansas and Osage These are small, re mote from each other, destitute of timber, and frequently dry. Immediately below the mouth of the Kansas; the eastern boundary line of territory leaves the Missouri river, and runs due South. In the angle formed by this line and the Kansas is the Shawnecs permanent reservation of 200,000 acres, embracing all the good timber and choice land for forty miles up that stream. The Osages, Kansas, and other Tndian tribes, also have large re servations in the eastern portion of the terri tory south of Kansas, which circumstance will retard for some time the settlement of that region Along the north side of the Kansas, the Wyandottes ami Delawares have I ! tin ... T 1 wMa nnil flTtnihnir I reservaiiou ircu umvii vv, uuv. ...0 fortv miles un that stream. The soil in the j , south half of the territory varies greatly in quality. A narrow strip of land on the Kan sas and Waukareusa is good, and well cover ed with timber, while those on the tributaries of the Osage and Nesho, are thin, gravelly, and badly timbered. The country suitable for cultivation south of the Kansas extends about one hundred miles from the eastern boundary, including the Shawnecs reserva tion. All these facts, in connection with the great advantages the navigation of the Mis souri for nine months of the year will give to the northern half of the territory, will throw the great centre of its business and popula- j tion considerably north of Kansas river. The great military road, used by the Government for tho transportation of supplies to the posts I in New Mexico, on the Arkansas, and Fort I Rilev on the Kansas, is on the north side of f hortcr than any other. The Kansaa river u navigable for a small class of boats for a mouth or more in the s pring, but will not afford suf ficient facilities of transportation for the country upon its banks.

The Hoston Traveller states that when the ill-fated Arctic was about to sink, and after the boats had pushed as far from the vessel as possible, to prevent being drawn into the vor tex, which it was known would draw dowu everything near, Mr Comstock. of Rhode Is land, was seen to jump into the water, and swim towards the boat, which contained, among others, Mr. C. T. Mitchell, of Charleston, S. C, to whom he was well known. Recogniz ing him in the boat, Mr. Comstock called to him, "Have you room for another man ?" To which the reply was, "No, we are almost sinking now !" He then threw up his hands, exclaimed i "Good God ! tell my wife and my five children I am gone !" and was seen no more. DIED.
