United States Senator.
In a short time the Legislature of this State
will agaia assemble, and among one of its
first duties will Lethe selection of a candidate
to represent the ' Keystone" in our national
councils in room of Hon. Richard Brodhead
whose term will expire on the 4th of March
next. We have so frequently expressed our
preference for the Hox. Hexry D- Foster of
Westmoreland for that position, that we had
deemed it unnecessary to recur to the subject,
but as we have received several communica
tions urging Gen. Foster's claims upon the
consideration of the party, it is due at least to
our respected correspondents that we should
acknowledge their receipt. Wc are glad to see
that we are not alone in the expression of our
preference for Gen. Foster, but that his elec
tion is desired and demanded by the rank and
file of the party in Cambria. So unanimous
indeed is the feeling in this county for the
election cf this gentleman, that could a vote
bo taken, we do not think that any democrat
would vote against him. He is not less pop
ular in other counties where he is well known,
and it only remains for the Democracy of
Western Pennsylvania to unite in the sup
port of Gen. Foster to ensure his election, and
thereby in some measure do justice to the
claims of this part of the State- His acknowl
edged ability, courteous demeanor, high mor
al character, and fine social qualities eminent
ly point him out as the man upon whom the
Democrats of the Legislature should unite,
and whose election would reflect credit upon
them as well as the State.
A Nkw Change ix the Hack Lines. Mr.
John A. Blair &Co., have purchased the interest cf
Mr. James D. Hamilton in the opposition Hack
Lino running from WUmore Station lo Ebens
burg. The new firm is well and favorably known
to the travelling public, and will undoubtedly
give general satisfaction. Their Hicks will com
noct with all the trains running East and West at
"Wilmore station, and leave for the town of Eb
ensburg, returning from said place in time to meet
all trains at Wilmore Station.
Fatal Accident. We are pained to learn that
Mr. George Wagoner of Jackson township, whila
assisting in raising his barn on lastSaturday, fell
from one of the top plates and was so seriously
injured that he survived but a bhort time. Mr;
W.f was a respectable citizen, and was
highly esteemed by all who bore his acquaintance.
We also learn , that Mr. Andrew Dunmyre of the
fame township, while assisting at the rais
ing, was also seriously injured.
Bex. r. Thompson. It will be seen by a card
in to-days paper, that our good looking young
friend, has changed his location of business. lie
Is now with one of the most popular firms in the
city of Philadelphia the firm of P. J.Tatton
& Co. We hope the Merchants of Cambria when
visiting the city, will purchase from our young
townsman.
Oysters. It is said that an oyster weighing
one hundred pounds, is in Holland, and that the
oyster was swallowed whole by a dutch girl.
This reminds us of the prime oys'.ers which G.
W, Wisegarver deals out at his saloon. They are
truly delicious, fresh and fine flavored.
CCh The Washington correspondent cf the New
York Tribune, says it is probable that Z. Chand

consin in plac e of Mr. Dudge.
ArPBEHSXSIONS OF A NlCEO IXfcCBRFCTION AT
Alexandria, Va. A Washington despatch to
the Now York Times, says : " Apprehensions are
entertained of a negro insurrection at Alexandria,
Va., evcn miles distant. The whites are much
alarmed. One of the city authorities applied
yesterday to the War Department for a supply of
ammunition, f x use in the event it should be ne
cessary. I cannot learn the ground on which
these fears are based."
j3T The quarrel between Great Britain
find New Granada has been adjusted ; but
that between the United States and the latter
power is farther from adjustment than ever.
A special Commissioner has been dispatched
thither by our Government to bring if possi
ble nil matters of controversy to a peaceful
termination. Should this fail it is quite prob
able that we will take forcible possession of
the towns at cither shore of the two oceans,
as well as the intermediate territory, to be
held as neutral grounds to all nations, and
protected by the powers . concerned. Such a
C0r9 under the circumstances, would doubt
lea be the least exceptionable that the pres
ent necessity could suggest.

The Position and Prospects cf General Wal
ker A Crisis in His Career.
The advices from Nicaragua possess absorb
ing interest. We have two accounts one by
way cf New Oilcans, the other by way of
Charleston. These are so contradictory, that
it may be well enough to look into them with
Eonce care. The steamship "Texas" arriT
rived at New Orleans, ou the 12th of the pre
fect month, with San Juan dates to the 5th.
According to the intelligence by this convey
ance, Gen. Walker had been successful in a
series of battles with the Central Americans,
and after four days fighting, had routed them
in a most signal manner. It is stated that on
the 10th, Gen. Ilcrnsby, with two hundred
men, defeated clevcE hundred menunderGen
eral Canas, a Costa Rican. and that while the
former lost only two killed and eleven wound
ed, the latter Jest two hundred. It is added
that General Walker had returned to Granada,
that he had destroyed that place and Massaya
and had removed to Rivas, which, for the fu
ture, is to be the capital of Nicaragua. Ano
ther rumor is, that in a naval battle a Costa
Rican brig of war had been blown up with
all on board, and that the Allies had lost three
thousand men in the various Littles since
October. . The intelligence by way of Charles
ton has quite another aspect The dates from
Sari Juan are to the 4th, and not so late by
one day as those by way of New Orleans.
They were brought to Key West by the steam
ship " Tennessee," (which has since arrived at
New York) and then to Charleston by the
steamship "Isabel." The passengers in the
"Tennessee" afilrni that "General Walker
had been driven from every place where he
had obtained a footing, except the transit
route" that he himself was on board a steam
er on the Lake without communication with
his army, that his men were suffering by dis
ease and for want of provisions, and that a
force of four hundred, after fighting for nine
days at Granada, was surrounded by the com
bined forces of Costa Rica, San Salvador and
Guatemala. These accounts, it will be seen,
arc in broad contradiction ; and one or the
other must be utterly erroneous
The Panama Herald of the 4th announces
the arrival of four deserters from Walker's
army, who described the troops as in great
destitution, and that several died daily of
cholera. We have also, by way of Havana,
intelligence from the Allied troops of Central
America. Their version of the battles of
Granada and Masaya is very different from
that cf Walker, although they admit that
they have lost five times as many men a3 the
filibusters. The Central Americans never
had possession of the capital, as was reported.
Walker had left a garrison of two hundred
men there when he marched upon Massaya,
and the troops who attacked Granada were
unable to obtain a foothold in it. They had
merely accupied the main guard and Walker's
house. When in Walker's house the native
troops seized the archives of the government
Among the letters were two written by Gen.
Walker one to the Emperor of the French
and the other to Lord Clarendon, to obtain
their moral support and the acknowledgment
of the Walker government by England and
France, as the only means of preventing the
annexation of Central America to the United
States. These letters were consistent with
the instructions which Walker gave to Gen.
Goicuria.
On the whole, we cannot but regard the
position of General talker as highly critical.
His men will doubtless fight bravely and to
the last, but the odds are evidently against
them
S3T The deficiency in the Post Office De
partments for this fiscal year, is about two
millions seven bunded thousand dollars, or
something more than one hundred thousand

greatly extended and the facilities largely in

furnishes a gratifying evidence of the growth
of the country. During tho last four years,
there have been added to the Post Office ser

The Widow's Three Hundred Dollars
The following is the report of a case deci
ded at the recent term of the Supreme Court
in this city, which is of very general interest.
The decision settles the law in a matter of fre
quent occurrence. Union.
SUPREME COURT IN BANC.
f Reported for the Pittsburg Union.
The widow of a decedent is entitled to three hun
dred dollars out of the proceeds of the sale of
liis real estate in preference to a judgment cred
itor in whose favor the husband had waived
the benefit of the Exemption Act cf 1849.
JOSEPH SPENCER'S APPEAL FROM THE
OliPIIANS' COURT OF ALLEGHENY.
Sarah Smith took out letters of administra
tion on the estate of her deceased husband,
James Smith, who died Sept 15, 1854. In
her administration account she charged her
self with the proceeds of a lot of ground, sold
by her under an order of the Orphans' Court
and retained credit for tho puns of three hun
dred dollars claimed by herself as a widow,
by virtue of the act of April 14, 1851 Jo
seph Speueer held a judgment against James
Smith, the decedent, entered Jan. 24, 1854,
on a bond with warrant of Attorney ,waiving
the benefit of the Exemption Act of 1S49.
Joseph Spencer accordingly filed exceptions to
the administration account, and contended
that the widow was not entitled to retain 300
rs against him The Court below, McClure
P. J., decided differently, and Mr. Spencer
appealed.
' The case was argued by Mellan and Neg
ley, for appellant ; and by Ifasbrouck, for
the appeller.
The opinion of the Court was delivered
Nov. 27, 1856, by
Lowrie, J We think that the learned
President of the Orphans' Court decided this
cause rightly The act of 1851, allowing a
widow to take property to the value of $300
out of hT deceased husband's estate, is plain
ly a restriction on .the remedies theretofore
existing in favor of creditors. It U therefore
a restriction or qualification of any liens ac
quired by operation of law against her estate
after the passage of tho act, except so far as
is excepted by tho act.
It is supposed that his waiver of any right
of exemption alters the case ; but we do not
think fo. His waiver of a privilege granted
by law to himself cannot effect a right granted
to another. It puts the creditor in the same
position which, he would have occupied if the
husband had had no exemption to be waived.
And surety this provision in favor of the wi
dow might have teen enacted and enforced,
even if there had been no exemption at all in
favor of the debtor himself. The creditor
might have divested his whole estate in his
life time, but not having done so, the perspec
tive provision in favor of the widow comes in
to operation and restricts bis remedy so far as
to prevent it from interfering with the right
granted to her-
Decree affirmed at the costs of the appellant
and record remitted.
Something' Which Should be Placed on Rec
ord. We copy the following from the Washing
ton Union of Thursday last, and must express
our surprise at the facts stated :
" It will be recollected that, soon after the
October election in Pennsylvania, considera
ble curiosity was evinced as to the wherea
bouts cf Colonel Fremont, who about that
time suddenly and mysteriously disappeared
from th3 public gaze at least from the pub
lic and private gaze of his follow citizens of
New York. Wo have it from the mosl mi
questionable authority, that the Black Re
publican candidate for the Presidency disap
peared mysteriously from New York to appear
as mysteriously in Philadelphia, and that for
several days between the 14th of October and
tne 1st of November, be remained incog, iu
the house of Mr Isaac 11. Davis, in the last
named city ! r.nd, furthermore, that while an
inmate of Mr. Davis' house, he had one, if
not several interviews with Mr. Isaac New
ton, who resides in Deleware county, Penn
sylvania, and who at that time was a candi
date for Presidential elector on the Fillmore
ticket ! ! During these intervals, Col. Fre
mont made use of the strongest personal ap
peals and the most dishonorable propositions,
with the view"of securing Mr. Newton into his
support, and thereby to betray the trust re
posed in Ir. N. by his political associates,
but without success. For the truth of thi3
statement, we refer, although not authorized
to do so to Mr. Newton himself, lie is al
most as well known to the citizens of Wash
ington as he is to the citizens of Philadelphia,
and all who enjoy the pleasure of his acquain
tance will cheerfully bear testimony to his
character as a gentleman of the strictest hon
or and veracity.
Decency and morality must be at tho very
lowest ebb, in the Black liepublican party,
when its candidate would stoop so low as to
seek a political enemy in disguise for the pur
pose ot wheedling him into a betrayal of his
trust by the employment of means which hon
est, honorable men would ppurn with scoru
and indignation. When the quintuple alli
ace were raising t&e cry of fraud and corrup
tion in Philadelphia, it is but charity to sup
pose they knew not how much their candidate
;vas implicated in the dishonest and disreputa
ble practice which they falsely attributed to
Democrats"
Arkansas the Banner State. Arkansas

Buchanan's majority is seven thousand seven,

thousand by the returns yet to come in. Ar
kansas will have to receive the banner.

The Kentucky Electoral CollegeSpeech of
Hon. J ohn C. Breckinrige.
We take the following from the (Kentucky)
Teaman :
In pursuance of a resolution unanimously
adopted, the Electoral College, as a body, im
mediately after his final adjournment, waited
upon Mr. Breckinrige, and tendered to him,
on behalf of themselves and the Demecracy of
Kentucky, their congratulations upon bis elec
tion to the Vice-Presidency. Wc did not
witness the interesting scene whieh took place
in the Capitol, but are enabled, to lay defore
our readers a report of the address and res
ponse, as taken in short hand. We are in
debted to Mr. Stcdman, the gentleman who
reported the remarks of Messrs Hise and Heed,
as they appear in another columti of our pa
per ; for this report, also, which has not been
revised.
Mr. Stevenson, on being introduced by
Judge Hise to John C. Breckinridge, spoke
as follows :
Major Breckinridge . As the selected or
gan of the electors of the State of Kentucky,
l am authorized to present you, sir. their cor
dial congratulation upon your election to the
secoud highest office w ithin the gift of the
American people. By the discharge of your
duties just finished, Kentucky has besn
brought back to the republican track of free
government. In early days there was no
State truer than she to Democratic principles.
A long timo has. elapsed since tbo people of
this State have witnessed a Democratic Elec
toral College assembled within her capital.
It is a cheering indication, and excitatory of
our gratification to know that in this momen
tous trial, the most momentous since the days
of498, she has proved true to tho demands of
the Constitution; and if there be one remar
kable incident with this glorious event, so
well calculated to fill Democratic hearts with
rejoicing ; if'tbere be one single emotion more
memorable than the rest, it is, that, as the
Brejckinridges in '98 led fearlessly the Demo
cratic phalanx, the mantle of their sainted
spirits has decended upon one of the same
name, and of the same faith ; upon one who
has fought eo long, so fearlessly, and so ably
in vindication of those principles. The fee
ling of pride and gratification we have in wit
nessing tho return of our beloved old State to
her first love is enhanced by knowing that we
have a Breckinridge to represent us in the
second office of the country.
In reply to which Mi. Breckinridge said :
Gentlemen : I am very much affected by
the unexpected call made upon me, and by
the honor which has been paid me ; but I re
ceive it with gratiiude.
The eloquent gentleman speaks of my hav
ing been one of the leaders of the party in
thi3 struggle. I have been, gentlemen, a
leader, but without effort and without duties.
It was my humble position to sit by and see
the battle won by those standing around me.
I am very happy, I assure you, so see these
gentlemen who have contributed so much to
revolutionize Kentucky, and bring her back
to her old principles. I hope I may be par
doned on this occasion for making a single
suggestion, as I have not had an opportunity
of making a speech fn Kentucky during the
canvass.
We have greatly the ascendency, and ic Is
necessary for us as a party to maintain the
supremacy. In this contest the victory was
not won by the Democracy alone. Wc would
have perhaps been in the minority, for we
lost numbers of Democrats last year, who
went into Know-Nothing lodges, but we have
received accessions from the Whig party, and
have carried the State by the united efforts of
the Old-line Democrat and Old-line Whig
parties.
I would, therefore, say to my Democratic
friends that it seems to me to be our dutv to
welcome and accept these choice Old-line
Whigs, the gems of their party, who have
joined ns in order to manifest their patriotism
by uniting in supporting the Constitution and
tlir. Union. ?u1 to breakdown the worst or
ganization that ever had existence. Now,
by maintaining this organization, composed of
all the Democrats and V bigs who love the
rjirbt. nf tbo Srntes. and who nrA OnrxSsAi ff
- "o - ' " -rr;
the proscriptive tenets of the Know-Nothing
order, by associating together on the princi
ples of cordiality and friendship, we will not
only maintain tho position wc have, but those
Whigs and Democrats who Lave for a time
been led astray, will again return and join our
ranks.
Again I return my sincere and profound
thanks for this testimony of favor and regard.
After the Election.
A few days ago the New York Times inti
mated that the country imperatively needed
repose after the excitement of the late presi
dential canvass. Tho intimation has not been
lost upon one of its Kansas correspondents,
now that the occasion has passed by for man
ufacturing outrages :"
' For the information of northern men, I
submit a few remarks concerning Kansas mat
ters. -
"With Gov. Geary a new era was inaugu
rated in this Territory. lie found the people
of Kansas in a state of civil war, and conten
ding factions calling to their aid assistance
from both, northern and southern States, and
in their zeal partizans were willing to sacri
fice the Union, and destroy all their hopes for
the future of revenge.
Having resided in Kansas about I wo
years, I have had opportunities for learning
facts connected with the late difficulties which
have never yet been published, especially con
cerning original plans and personal motives.
In due time many important facts will be
brought to light, when the masses who have
been active participants in the late events,
will discover that they were misled, and that
a firm reliance upon the general government
would have obviated much trouble, have
saved many valuable lives, and secured a
peaceful settlement of the great question that
was supposed to be involved."
Trial of U. S. Soldiers, At the county
court in Carlisle, Pa., last week, sixteen U.
S. soldiers from the Barracks were tried for a
brutal assault upon Mr. Alexander M'Dowell,
a farmer residing near the Barracks. Four
of them were discharged, four of them senten
ced to two years and nine months in the Eas
tern Penitentiary, and eight to 15 days' im
prisonment in tne county jail.
Counterfeits. Large numbers of bogus
quarters, very well executed, ue in circula
tion. Look oat for them.
The Kansas Aid Society.
The riissiouri Democrat, not a pro-slavery
organ, has received information from Kansas
which proves beyond doubt the money raised
all over the northern States to aid the suffer
ers in Kansas, and to assist those who went
there with small means, has never been ap
plied to that purpose. It publishes a letter
signed bv numerous names of persons from all
the Northcrn'States, and a few from the south
ern to prove the fact. The following is the
letter referred to, with the names attached:
Lawrknce, K. T., Nov. 21, 185G.
Mr. .Editor: As I am interested in the
fate of this Territory, I would say to those
who intend coming to Kansas, come ou your
own responsibility, and then you know what
to depend upon, for you cannot depend upon
tho assistance which is promised you, if yo.u
start under the promise of the Kansas Aid So
ciety. That is nothing more nor less tJuin a.
speculating ojieration, from begining to end,
whicJi originated in Yanktedom, and it is
time tJuit the honest donaters should he duped
no longer for bleeding Kansas. There is no
doubt but that there are people who need aid,
and I would advise those who give aid to send
it to some person or persons the parties may
know, and then what they send or give you
will know is distributed to the necessitous.
I may state for iustance that the original
Chicago eompjiTiy newr fulfilled their eon
tract with the company that left there in June
last, and which has seen more hardships than
any other company in the Territory. The
cammittee was to give them assistance on their
anival in the Territory, and also find them in
provisions for one year, which has not been
complied with. If you say anything to them
they reply it is all left to the National Commit
tee, and when you mention it to them they
say, you are a separate concern, wc have
nothing to do with you. That is the way you
are treated, after being induced to leave a
comfortable home, to endure privations and
hardships for the Aid Society to speculate
from. Fir a sample of the committee's gen
erosity, I cite to j-ou one circumstance among
a huudred that happens dailv ; A Mr. Bcdose,
of Hockford, had lost all his clothing at the
Ossowatomic, and on his return Mr Whit
man gaye him an over-shirt (of the flannel,
which is generally worn here) be had worn
the shirt some two months, aud as they had
quite a quantity arrived for distril ution, he
applied to Mr. 11., (one of the Committee)
for one The answer was we have iio more
for you, He then turned and walked oif
These are facts which are too true Who is
to receive tho aid that is donated if a man
like that is refused, who has been through all
the struggles during tbeeuramer and fait, and
whose family who has just arrived from Hock
ford, 111.? Mr. B. was induced to come out
here by the Hockford Committee, with the
promise of being provisioned for a year, and
they likewise agreed to assist his family, but
started them off without money enough to pay
their way. It appears that the committee
been has weighed aud found wanting," and
there are several of the Hockford men desti
tute in consequence
It is time these transactions were exposed,
so th'jt no more jyersons inay he duped by the
committees, or by those icio are S'A'citing aid
for Heeding Kansas.
I think it my duty to put the whole matter
in a true light before the public, as the sever
al committees have been written to repeatedly
and no reply.
What are those to do this winter who now
belong to the militia, which will be disbanded
in a short time? What are the prisoners to
do if they have the good luck to get free from
bondage ? Cau they get employment ? No !
Can they go upon claims? No ! Will thev be
provided for? That is to be seen ; or will they
be left to shift for themselves and turn ban
dits for their support, which has alreadly com
menced, and which has been one cause "of the
difficulties in the Territory. For instances
the colonies from the South were sent in with
the same guarantee as those from the North,
with the addition of their claims being paid
for wben coming into market ; and their com
mittees have also proved faithless and dishon
est. And tchat icas the result? Why, they
iccre forced to rob and plunder for subsistence,
and to raise means to get out of the Territory,
and a wur followed with Missouri, as she was
charged icith many of these crimes
I'll give you one more instance of the com
mittee's generosity, and close. I procured
an old log house for the purpose of storing the
baggage belonging to the men who were held
prisoners at Lecompton. The building had
been vacant all summer and only used now
and then for a stable by any one who chose to
use it. I procured the use of it from Gov.
Hobinson. The person I have refermce to,
wanting tho house to put in horses, which be
longed or had belonged to the Aid Society,
put tho baggage out of doors, without giving
notice. The baggage contained all of their
clothing, mechanical tools, &c., which were
thus exposed to the rain and light-fingered
gentry for five days, before another place could
bo procured to store it If that is the way
men in prison are treated, what can any one
expect who comes here trusting to the prom
ises of those Aid Societies ? The above are
stubborn facts, which I am sorry to relate,
but nevertheless true, and I l ope, this will be
a warniug to those who may bo interested in
Kansas matters, and who wish to come here
as settlers.
I subscribe myself, Yours respectfully,
Col. J. A IIacnet, of Free Kansas.

Ciiarlestom. Dec. 13, 1830 The steam
ship Isabel, from Havana and Key West, ar
rived here this morning.
The steamship Tennessee had arrived at
Key West from San Juan, the 4th instant
with aOO passengera, and $900,000 in specie,
(so says our despatch ) Thirteen of the pas
sengers of the Tennessee had died of Cholera.
The passengers stat that the account from
Nicaragua were that Cneral Walker bud
been driven from every place where he had ob
tained a footing n.-!:!i e
Transit route
The last accounts rejKrted that 400 of his
force, after fighting for nine days at Gran adu,
were surrounded by the Costa Ricnn. Salva
dor, and Guatemala forces. (Jen. Walker
was on board a steamer on the Lake, without
communication with bis arinv, and his men
-yere suffering for the want of provisions and
clothing, and were dying off by diseases.

schooner at Granada.
Among the passengers of the Tennessee is

Okefenokec wamp. in Georgia heretofore a
terra incognita i at last about to be explored
with a vi w of testing the feasibility of drain
ing it. The Savannah Georgian, in speaking
of the project, remarks :
"The last session of the Georgia legislature
took action in favor of a survey of the Okefe
nokec swamp, for the purproM? of determining,
among other things, the f. asibility of draining
it, and thus preparing the way for its sale and
cultivation. The swamp contains something
like half a million of acres, as many suppose,
of the richest soil in Georgia. To the world
at large it is a terra incogn ita. On one side of
it are the heal waters of the Swannee, passing
down into the Gulf; on the other is the sf
Mary's emptying into the Atlantic. The pre
sumption is that the bed of the Okefcnokee is
more elevated than either, and hence that it
may b drained into one or the other
"Mr Hunter, of Millegville, an experienced
engineer and a gentleman of the highest char
acter, has been selected by the governor to
make the survey. He is now in Savannah
with a corps of assistants, on his way south,
and will enter immediately upon the discharge

California -A late letter from San Fran
cisco says: "The future of this wonderful
land is the study of my waking and the dream
of my sleeping hours. A farmer told me in
market tLis very morning, that in 1S50 hit
commenced with two cows and fifty acres of
land, bought on borrowed monev. Now be.
owes nothing, and from Lis dairy and other
productions of his farm, be made last year
04500 clear of all expenses, all created by his
own labor. My enthusiasm on the richness
of the soil is never-ending. The grapes! In
twenty years California could supply the whole
Union with rod wine; but unhappily the ex
pense of reaching here, and the bad moral
reputation of the whole State, effectually bar
immigration from France, Germany-or other
wine countries. At Los Angelos, magnificent
grapes are put on the table at six cents per
pound; here they are dearer.'
