Colonel Crockett.
A letter appears in a late number of - the
Austin Gazette, which states that Colonel
Crockett did not perish at the storming
of that fortress, but still survives, and is
now a captive, laboring in a Mexican
mine. The story is certainly too mar.
venous to be credited without the stron.
gest proof. At the same time it must be
admitted there are circumstances ten
ding. to give an air of plausibility to the ,
narration. The ;correspondent of the
Austin Gazette recites the events by
vitich he was led to the discovery of Col.
Crockett, in a very natural, artless way.

WOMEN AND LADIES.
Time was %%hen, in good old Scripture
iarlance, the word reunion was rewarded
.s an honorable appellation of ad ult fe
males. But thi-, term was too republican
.or our republican community - -for all
'itch were "women," and the tel in impli
,d no distinction between theuoliility and
the common hen!. And so those who
.more the greatest amount of silks and sat
ns, flirted the most gi acefully about town
and in fashionable parties, and did no
tro.k. must take a higher and mot a honor
ible name, antl be called Lcdi,3. But in
this country, sum able nail es, like lash
able drosses, are coveted by all parties;
it'd soon it came to pass that we had no
'women" is the land. From the stucco
ed and ornamented parlor, to the kitchen
of the log cabin, all become Ladies. As
the intention of those designations has
thus been defeated, we motion that hence
forth none be allowed the name of Ladies
but good housewives—thoFe who are real
Helpmates in the family, and can, if in
ealth, earn their own living. These are
the true nobility ut the female see, and
h old be considered Ladies. Your mere
walking bundles ut silk and piano torte
players, who would think themselves dis
graced to be caught at the work in the
kitchen, should have no higher term to
designate them than teomen, and this in
the miious and unpopular sense which they
originally attempted to employ it in.—

DREADFUL AFFRAY.
There were many rumors afloat yester
iay respecting an affray, attended with
very serious consequences, which had
.)ccurreil the night before; but from the
mass of reports in relation to the subject,
NO gather the following statement, which
.ve have every reason to believe is the
:rush:
On Wednesday evening then, it ap
mars, Mr. Daniel Carman, of the firm of
William Carman and Son, in Market
greet, and Mr. Knowles, hatter, of North
Aixtit street, accidentally met in one of
'die public houses in the vicinity of the
Ohesnut street Theatre, and in a conver
sation which ensued, an old cause of dine
;reea►ent was renewed, which had its or
igin in the volunteer company to which
iuth are attached. Both became violent,
Ind it was agreed between them to seek
-nine house where a room could be procu
red in which "tr. fight it out." Two were
sought with this end; and the accommoda
lion refused. lit front of the last, the
sear of words cummenced afresh ; and at
w►gth, as we understand, Knowles knee•
-cell Carman ikiwn. He, rising, drew a
taife, and, mad with rage, inflicted save
ral wounds upon Knowles, who a second
line felled him to the ground. At length
the friends of the parties separated them ;
! but not before Knowles had received
leep wound, among !I►e lower ribs, and
just bellow the region of the heart; besides
one or two other wun►:di le.qs serims.
Apprehensions were telt for the life of
Nr. Knowles yesterday ; but we lean'
'that he Wag, f ast night, dou►g well. Mr.
Carman left the city oil tile night of the
OCCUITence.
PENNSYLVANIA & NEW YORK.
Extract of a lettcr from a gentleman ut
Albany, to his friend in I;nlatlelphia
"The news from Harrisburg is very
cheering to us here in this State. Xe did
think a year or two ago that Pennsylvania
was in the course of securing to herself a
large share of the advantages ut the trade
of the great West, whilst she tie., eloped
her own resources ; and if she had gone
on, we in this State siould have been lim
ited to a summer trtjfle, by our canal alone
and "the Empire t•iate" assigned to the
station ut playing second fiddle to the
Black D u tch. But our prospects now ,
brighten up again, and the course adopted
by the Pennsylvania fagistature in refu•
sing to go ahead, and stopping halt way,
is just what suits us. Now we shall push'
ahead, aid take and keep our station.
Pennsylvania won't rise again for years ;
and if their Legislature %ill only continue
to refuse paying interest on the Loans of
the State, fur six months only, so that
people abroad lose confidence•, and re•
turn the stock, Inc sale here, "at any
price," she is and will be ranked
with "Buenos Ayres," Mexico," dce. &c.
lutrinsicarly, Pennsylvania Bonds are,
pert; ips, aster than any whet in the world;
because the resources of Pennsylvania,
when developed, are greater than any
other portion of the world of die same size.
But what are her mines, and her fields, if
public confidence is destroyed in her
tiovernment and people? Mexico, Peru,
and other portions of South America, are
l as rich in richer materials, but their 'Jeff-
isialian renders all valueless, and no - ()Tie
is willing to lend a dollar to thtm, to digl
or build. Nations and grates are like ini.!
dividuala; if my nsislibur has a term, with'
mill s.tos mid otner advantages, and my,
farm has nearly similar advantages, and
both of us want to b irrow capital, at a
low rate of interest, to baild mills and
tone is, and construct roads and bridges,)
I won't grumble, it he adopts measures to ,
destroy confidence in lenders La him—l'll'
only get what. I. want, cheaper; aLd if he
stops brit way, so much the better for me,
and the worse for hint, for he leses all he
has done, and is worse of than when he
started. A rid this is now about the posi
tion of New York and Penns.. Ivania—the
farm is bigger, but the principle the same.
"1 notice th►tt the otaaaization at Paris,
to sell Stocks, don't embrace Penusylva
nia Stocks, but puts New York at the top.
So much the better for us; New York
don't want better friends foe her interest
than your present Locofoco Legislator •.
at flat risburg; and coul,l well afford to
pay . their wages, provided they stick to
their present system."

TILE OPIUM SMUGGLERS.
Mr. Chandler:— May I b g a place in
your paper tor the following extract? It
is transcribed from "Howard Malcom's
Travels in South Eastern Asia." Your
compliance will oblige "a witness against
I those that oppress." J. S.
"The great blot on foreigners at Can•
ton, thoup nut on all, is the opium trade
That men of correct moral sensibiiities,
and enlightened minds, should be so blind
ed by custom, or desire of gain, au to eie
gage in this business, is amazing. A
smuggler in Canton, is no more honorable
than a smuggler on any other coast; in
some respects he is less so. There is less
chivalry, hardihood, fatigue, exposure,
landa inducement, than in the case of a
pour man, who braves both the war of ele
ments and legal penalty, to obtain a sub
sistence tar his family. !fele. among a
peaceable. arid, perhaps, timid people,
they incur no personal hazards, and sot
at defiance edicts and tinkers. No other
smuNling introduces an article so deadly
and demoralizing. The victims of it dat.
ly meet the smuggler's eyes, and are.
among the patients r,sorting to the hospi
tal he helps to support. Bat so well do
they know the mural and physical evils of
op +m, that no; one of them ventures on
the habit of using it himself.
"In this, as in other cases, magnitude
gives dignity and sanction to the opera
Lion. No other smuggling is on so grand
a scale. The annual sale, amounts to a
sum equal to the entire revenue of the
United State,.;, z.nii to thu whole value of
teas exported to England hod America!
At this very time, though ern. ,ts so extra
ordinary and persevering have been put
forth by the Chinese government, to stop
this internal traffic, there are twenty-four
opium ships on the coast! We have little
reason to wonder at the reluctance of
China to extend her intercourse with for
eigners. Nearly the whole of such inter
course Wino upon her pestilence, po vet
ty, crime, and disturbance.
"No person can describe the horrors of
the opium trade. The drug is produced
by compulsion, accompanied with miseries
to the cultivators, as great as slaves en
dure in any part of the earth. The prices
paid to the producer, scarcely sustains
I life, and are many per cent. less than the
article produces in China. The whole
I process of carrying and vending is an
enormous infringement of the laws of na
-1 tions, and suck as would immediately pro
i duce a declaration of war by any Euro.
pean power—the grandest and grossest
smuggling trade on the Globe: The in-.
thence of the drug on China, is tout
kwfol and extensive than that c t nit , ' i t
Any ctmntry, and worse to its victims than
any outward slave' y. That the govern•
tin nt of bluish India should be the print
abettors of this .botninablo traffic, is on,
of the great wor:ders of the nineteenth'
century. The proud ,cutcheon of t h,
nation, which declaims agoin,,t the slave
trade, is thus made to bear a blot, broader
and darker than any other in the Christina
, world."

The Canal.
Our readers, and those who are acquain.
tad with the conduct of the canal officers
in this county, will see that we are not
alone in our views of all the officers of
the present State administration. An
article copied below, from a Bucks coun
ty paper, seems to say that some of their
officers are "particularly" calculated to
manage matters for their own advantage•
And further, it appears that the officers
have increased on the Delaware division,
as well as on this; and that they under
stand how to make a large speculation,.
out of a small job. In fact it appears,
'ti l e. the system of plundering the peo
p ie's tnasure, has become so extensive,
that ma•etiass have been held of persons
composed of both political parties, to ex•
press their dia..`pprobation of the. extrava
gance of the prese.l't men in power. We
call the attention of oft!' readers, and of
every other honest man to ;,his universal
out-cry against this administrate: n, which!
was to reform so much. We said lo."!!i,
ago, that it the administration of Railer
were ever so bad, that the present one
would practice all the villany they charg•
ed upon the former, and all that their own
prolific geniuses could invent. Did we not
speak truly? What corruption that they
charged against Ritner's officers can be
named that the present Board have nut
perpetrated? Too many officers—have
they not more? Proscription—have they
not proscribed? Favoritism--has not
each officer now his favorites, both vas
sals and equals? Plunder—does not ins.
ny of the poor and hard laboring man have
to submit to have his account of hard
earning shaved by some of "the party?"
and is it not done with the State funds,!
already provided for his payment? Aye,'
aye, sir; and this is Porter reform.
We have again to state that the waste
weir above Jackstown has been quite or
nearly washed into the river. This is the
fourth time this spring, we are told, that
this place has broken ; yet still it breaks
again, and this too under the "particular
good managen►ent of our efficient and ao
live supervisor, D &yid oods, Esq." We
think the course spoken of below should
be adopted for this section also.
We learn that the Canal Commission
ers of this Commonwealth intend coming
to our borough, to examine the official con
duct of some of the officers of the Dela
ware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal.
As we hive been informed, there have
been charges ol a serious characte', made
against certain persons holding office on
the canal, which, if established, will re
move the wrong doers from their abused
trusts. We have, as our readers know,
again and again, called the attention ol
the public to the mismanagement of out
Canal. Public meeting• without de•
stinction of party, have also spoken a

recorded, a week or two since, an out
rage which was committed in the Assem

perpetrator was properly expelled from
his seat in the House. We have now to
; mention another, which has desecrated

N ashington, and which, in the exhibition

have disgraced any low tavern in the low

!given in the Baltimore American, of yes-
Iterday, in its report of the proceedings in
(the House on the day belore.--Ledgrr.
Mr. Saltonstall was commencinw, upon
certain official documents in relation to
the conduct and expenditures of the Go
vernment. NA bile he was speaking, Mr.
Bynum, of N.C., came to the part of the
house in which Mr. Garland, of Louisiana,
was sitting. In the hearing of Mr. G.,
land while addressing him, he stated that
the document was a suspicious paper, and
intimated that it was corrupt. Mr. Gar
land maintained that it was true. Hard
words soon passed Letween the two mem.
berg. The lie was given by Mr. Bynum,
and Mr. Garland in answer to it, seized
Mr. B. by the throat, and struck him two
or three times. Mr. 8., in return, after
scratching the face of Mr. Garland, drew
a knife. Ile uttered horrid imprecations
in a voice which was hearth throughout
'the hall. Mr. Garland, no less excited,
continued to deal heavy blows against hits
antagonist. As soon as could be, the s two
members were separated. After the se
peration, Mr. Bynum still attempted to
reach Mr. G., and to stab him with thu
knife which he brandished in the air.
The Sergeant at Arnds was ordered to
arrest the members, but there friends pro
tected them, and both members withdrew
from the bar of the House.
' Mr Underwood, of Ky., immediately
moved for the appointment of a Select
Committee. He said that the nation
would not tolerate such conduct. Ile
proposed a committee of five toinvestigate
the causes of the quarrel. The motion
was unanimously seconded.
The Speaker announced the committee
as follows:—Mr. Underwood, of Ky., Mr,
Butler, of Ky., Mr. Briggs, of Mass., Al r.
of Maine, and Mr. Cooper, of
lae., who were instructed to take older
