SCRIBBLING S AND SCIBB.ORINGS,
btcxrcvirrc :L—Duting the severe storm
with which this vicinity ivali visited on
Saturday evening last, a building at the
lower end of town was struck by the
lighting, - and !Kale of the inmates slight
ly injured,: The fluid passed down the
chimney.
PiuLAngtPlitA.—The Daily Chronicle,
in alluding to the revival of business in
Philacelphia, says " that it is a preva
lent opinion among the merchants, that
a tolerable fair business will be done be
fore the close of the season."
.The same paper further states that
there arc at present many heavy stocks
bf goods in our city, and as great a va
riety as at any previous season, which
the merchants will sell out upon as rea
sonable and accommodating terms as
can be obtained in any city in the Union.
,CAUGHT.—Alexander L. Wilson, the
young man who made an attempt on the
life of his sister, (an account of which
appeared in the Journal last week,) has
been apprehended. After an investiga
tion of the matter, he was held to bail
in the sum of $2,500, to take his trial
for an attempt at murder.
ID- At a meeting of the turbulent
spirits of Mercer county, Ohio, a few
days since, resolutions were passed ex

How TO ittu. BEDBUGS.—AppIy camphine on •
the place infested with them, se you would varnish.
After the second applßation, you will be troubled
only by a few stragglers.—Pilleburg American.
We insert the above with pleasure,
for we have an earnest desire to give
currency to everything which will tend
in the least to ameliorate the condition
of poor human nature. We have never
tried the remedy ourselves, but have
little doubt of its efficacy. Our plan is
to catch the varmint between our fore
finger and thumb, and thus despatch
them by squeezing. .
OD— "How will your county go this
year 1" asked a zealous politician of a
citizen of Berks county. "Yell, I can't

Fashionable female education is eahl to be'

Tea RULING RASSION.—WYATT, the
murderer, was executed at Auburn, on
the 17th ultimo. On being informed
that he must be hung, he acted perfect
ly frantic, remarking that it was hard
to be hung for killing such a poor, mis
erable creature as Gordon, and was sor
ry he had not killed two or three of the
keepers, then he would have been satis
fied.
Nov Tauz.—lt has been stated that
the citizens of Matamoras would not al
low the Catholic Priests sent there by
the Government to officiate in their
churches. This is disproved by the
Reveille of that place, and says that
service has been performed several
times by the army chaplains, Catholic
and Protestant.
STEAMER PRINCETON.—An officer of
the navy, in writing about the skirmish
in which. the Princeton was recently en
gaged, says :—" The Princeton is called
by the Mexicans the 'Yankee Devil,'
and is considered as being endowed
with a sort of übiquity from her being
every where, at least where they don't
want her.. This watering party of ours
will hardly diminish their respect for
her— r certainly not for her shell and ball
practice "
If some men knew with what
contempt they are looked upon by the
community at large, they would never
obtrude themselves in public places, or
throw out their opinions with such evi
dent self-approbation.
To PUT DOWN WINTER APPLES.—Pick
them carefully; put them down in bar
rels or boxes in dried oak saw-dust.
When put up in this way, they will
keep good for years. Try it.

The Democritcy-;-Where and what is it 7
Where shall we search for the indivi
sible Democracy 1 Whether we regard
the principles, measures or men of that
party it is impossible to imagine a test
by which we can discover them. Moore
described the divided and opposite opin
ions of Burke at different periods of his
life, as the fragments of a dissevered
continent—each peopled with its own
inhabitants ; the party might be better
described as the pieces of a wreck—
each spar and timber crowded with a
hungry and frightened crew. We should
be pleased to determine which branch
of the party is the legitimate party ;
but
i. We do here perceive a divided duty."
In 1844 Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Dallas,
the Pennsylvanian, in short all the de
mocracy were for the tariff of 1842
clamorously, nay, ferociously—for their
banners said : we defy the Whigs to
repeal it !" They spoke in its favor,
until oratory was black in the face ;
praised it, until its duties, as in duty
bound, blushed at the flattery; and
pledged and swore and promised until
the father of that family that are not
known as truths, began himself, to be
lieve that they must be in earnest. And
the party saw it, that it was good.
In 1846, but two years after—"nay
not so much—not two," the same men,
the heads and tails of Democracy, coolly
cut the throat of the tariff, and sprinkle
its blood upon the altar of free-trade.--
Now, we are anxious to learn which in
the era of Pennsylvania democracy—
that of '44 of '46, or both, and what is
to come next, for it seems to us won
drously like
urae moon—the inconstant moon—that monthly
changes."
But this sort of democracy is not only
different from itself at different times ;
it differs equally at the same time. In
'46 the Democracy of the State by their
representatives in the State Assembly
and by their delegates in Congress with
one crazy exception declared that de
mocracy consists in supporting the Tar
iff of '42.
Yet, at the same time, Messrs. Dallas
and Buchanan and the persons, purses
and presses under their control, denounce
all democrats who support the tariff of
'42, as traitors.
Now which side is right, and where
and what is Democracy" If Messrs.
Dallas and Buchanan be right, then ire
all the democracy of Congress and the
legislature, and some score thousands
more, vile traitors, Whigs &c. If the
congressional and legislative represent
atives and the thousands are right, then
are those eminent, consistent, and faith
abiding statesmen and their independent
and disinterested followers all traitors
—a supposition from which every Penn
sylvanian will start with horror. Now,
Under which King Bownian ? Speak, or die.

Dear Sir :—Will you allow us to re
quest your acceptance of the accom
panying Hat and Box made by us ex
pressly for you, to guard that head
which has so long and so nobly advoca
ted the protection of American manufac
tures.
We are, sir, with sincere regard,
your friends, 0. B. & CO.
ASHLAND, August 17, 1846
Gentlemen:—l have received your
kind letter,
with the beautiful Hat, and
Box whichcontains it, which you have
done me the favor to present to me.—
Accept my grateful acknowledgements
for them.
The fine Hat fits my head as exactly
as if it had been used, instead of the
customary block, in making the Hat;
and it will ever be my pride to have it
covered by hats of American manufac•
ture.
The box cannot be excelled in ele
gance, and I hope long to retain it.
I sincerely hope that your business
may continue to flourish in spite of all
unfavorable events, and that you may
long live to enjoy, in health and happi
ness, plentiful fruits of your industry
and skill.
I am, with great respect,
your friend and obd't serv't,

A VERY Lox° Ness.—A gentleman having put
out a candle by accident one night, ordered his
waiting man (who was a simple being) to light it
again in the kitchen, adding—" Hut take caro,
Ja.nes, that you do not hit yourself against any•
thing in the dark." _ . .
Mindful of the caution, Junes stretched out both
arms at full length before him, but unluckily, a door
stood half open, passed between his hands and
struck him a woeful blow upon the nose.
"Golly gracious!" muttered he, when he reco
vered hie senses a little, "I always heard that I had
a very long nose, but I vow I never have thought
that it was longer than my arm, by thunder !"

FROM MEXICO.
LATEST FROM MEXICO.
The New Orleans Commercial Times
furnishes some additional news received
by the brig P. Soull. Papers from Ha
vana up to the Bth, and Vera Cruz up
to the Ist ult., were received:
The 'most important information by
this arrival is the pronouncement of the
city and Garrison of Vera. Cruz, on the
31st ult., in favor of Santa Anna, who,
as soon as the news reached him at Ha
vana, embarked on board the steamer
Montezuma, (now under British colors,)
and sailed on the night of the Sth ult.
for Vera Cruz.
Gen. Arevalo, who commanded one of
the brigades, ordered to put down the
insurrection at Guadalaxara, has been
wounded, and is since dead.
A resolution of Congress, conferring
certain powers on the President, ad in
terim, authorizes him to issue letters of
marque, which are to be sent to foreign
countries, by the Government and its
agents ' according to a regulation pub
lished by the Chief Magistrate.
By news received from Mexico, dated
29th July, the following is the list of
the new administration : Finance, Don
Antonio Garaz ; War, Don Igmora Vil
lamil ; Director of Engineers, Foreign
Relations, either Don Luis Gordoa, or
Don Luis G. Cuevas ; and for Justice
and Public Instruction, Don F. Ramirez,
a lawyer.
Gen. Bravo, it is stated, is in favor of
centralization, as most in harmony with
the necessities of the country. Gen.
Mozo, in the city, or Gen. Rod. de Cela,
in the Castle, Gen. Pachecho would put
down the affair at Gaudalaxara, and if
he were found insufficient, Paredes is
marching towards that place.
A communication had been made from
the city of Washington,
by the British
Minister, intimating to the Mexican go
vernment that it could expect no aid
from England.
The Government had forwarded all
the disposable troops in and about Chi
huahua and Zacatecas to New Mexico,
for its defence.
Gen. Mejia has transferred his head
quarters to Montery. The troops, un
der the command of the President, Pa
redes, are on their march to that town;
they will first stifle the insurrection at
Guadalaxara, which is on their route.
The last brigade of troops, 2,000 strong,
quitted the city of Mexico on the 28th
July, with several pieces of artillery.
They are represented to be, like those
which preceded them, perfectly equip
ped. This division amounts in all to
7,000 men, which, with 2,000 or 3,000
in Guadalaxarft, when united with those
with Mejia at Monterey, will represent
a disposable force of from 12,000 to 15,-
000, all under the personal command of
Paredes. Col. Don Juan Cano accom
panies the President, as Chief of the
Corps of Engineers. The departure of
Paredes was positively fixed for the 31st
ult.; his detention was caused solely by
his anxiety to see his troops perfectly
epuipped and supplied.
A militia corps of 1,500 men had
been organized in the city of Mexico.
Some troops had arrived at Tampico, to
reinforce the garrison.
A Row Among the Volunteers
The following letter, says the U. S.
Gazette, from the camp of the Balti
more volunteers, on the Rio Grande,
details a state of affairs that we should
believe to be unfounded, were it not that
several letters of a similar purport have
also been received in this city. The
parties mentioned are, we believe, near
ly all Balt imoreans
CAM BELKNAP, Aug. 2, 1846.
Our battalion is joined to one from
Ohio, which forms a regiment, and this
in connection with two other regiments
from Ohio, comprises a brigade. There
are also regiments from Alabama, Geor
gia, and Tennessee, quartered at this
same camp, which is situated on a high
bluff of land, from which we can see
thousands of tents, and hear the drums
beating the reveille.
Yesterday Lafayette Hands, Andrew
Metteer, and some of our boys went
over to Batita, and• returned in rather
high spirits. As they were returning
home, some one gave Andrew Metteer a
catfish, which Col. Mitchell, of Ohio,
who is Colonel of the whole brigade,
claimed as his own, and ordered three
of his men to take it from him. On the
men seizing him, in compliance with the
orders of their commander, Metteer
drew a dagger and stabbed two of them.
Col. Mitchell then rushed on Metteer
with drawn sword, and inflicted several
severe gashes on his head, from the ef
fects of which he fell as if dead. La
fayette Hands then seized the Colonel,
wrested his sword from him, and chased
him with it for some distance around
the camp, until another sword was
handed him, when they had a regular
sword fight, lasting some minutes, until
the Colonel's sword broke, and he again
ran, finally escaping to his own quarters.
He then gave immediate orders for his
men to turn out, armed with ball car
tridge, when our captain gave similar
orders, and marched the Chesapeakes
dawn to meet them.
When we arrived, Captain Stuart,
who, in the absence of Colonel Watson,
is commanding officer, ordered out the
battalion, and we were all full of fight,
and I verily believe that our 600 Balti
moreans could have whipped the whole
2,500 Ohioans. Dan Wells had taken
dead aim at the Colonel, and would have
blown him sky high, had it not been for
Charles Ehtman, who struck his mus
ket. The Colonel then claimed the com
mand of the whole brigade, and ordered
us to our camp, which order we were
compelled to obey.
Col. Watson was at Barita, where we
immediately sent after him, and on his
arrival he started for the camp of Colo
nel Mitchell, to demand an explanation
of his conduct. On his arrival there,
however, he was told that the Colonel
had started for Matamoras to report to
Gen. Taylor, but Col. Watson ' is now
after him, and I do not know how the
spree will end.
[From the Baltimore Argus.]
Later from the Army.
A gallant officer of the United States
Army has favored us with a letter, from
which we make the following extract.
CAMARGO, (Mexico,) July 31, 1846.
"Information that I rely upon is, that
General Mejia, with the remnant of
Arista's army, 4,000 strong, is at Cader
eita, a town 30 miles east of Monterey.
This town has a garrison of near 1,000
men, (regulars,) a population of 15,000.
Gen. Paredes was at San Louis de Po
tosi on the 15th instant, on his way to
Monterey, with 8,000 regular troops ; he
has also called on Nuevo Leon for 8,000
active militia; from the department of
Tamaulipas he expects 3,000 more ;
making his entire force, when he reaches
Monterey on the 15th or 20th proximo,
near 25,000. General Taylor is strain
ing every nerve to get there before him
but cannot now possibly do so until the
sth or 10th of September; so Paredes
has the advantage of numbers, and of
naturally a strong rocky position. Par
edes will have forty pieces of cannon—
we will have about twenty four ; and you
may expect (as our army will not be
over 10,000) to hear of the most obsti
nate fight and bloodiest doings ever
done up in America or in the world,
about the 15th of September. With us
it will be neck or nothing—the former,
something to eat and houses to live in,
perhaps peace ; the latter, death and a
continuation of the war—such is our
prospect."
