Election in Washington. An exciting election came off in Washing. ton City on Monday of last week. Mr. Maury, the present Mayor, was elected by over 800 ma• jority last year, and a popular officer; was re• nominated as the Democratic candidate. The "Know Nothings" united on John T. Towers. The election was warmly contested, and party lines were entirely lost sight of—Whigs voting for Maury, and Democrats for Towers. The result is the election of Towers by 430 majority. The Whigs elected nearly ali the members of the City Councels. The election of Towers was celebrated by firing of cannon, ringing of bells, bonfires &c. De `A correspondent of the Washington Reporter suggests the name of Ron. John Bell, of Tennessee, as the next Whig candidate for President. Ta o TlAleru bus :t - p - r,fired in Toledo, Election in Philadelphia. The clecteon which took place in PhiWel. phia, on Tuesday of last week was one of the greatest chaStisemints which ever befel the de. mocracie party in the in the City of Philadel phia. It was a perfect annihilation of Locofo raisin and its foreign allies. All party lines were swept away before the torrent of outgnsh lug American patriotism. At every point its adversaries have been discomfitted—not merely beaten, but most ignominiously routed! Ward after want, which for years past have been in ehjeek anti slavish subservience to the vital spirit of party, have rolled in tremendous ma jorities for the popular Amerian creed. We are aware that a number of citizens who have heretofore supported the Locofoco ticket, voted against it at this time, and the circum stance proves that adherence to political organ ization, though enforced by the most rigorous discipline, is not potent enough to overcome popular virtue. In this respect, the result of the election tenches a valuable lesson to all politicians, which they will do well to ponder and improve. Robert Conrad, the Whig candidate for May or, has been elected by a majority of about 8000 I and the rest of the Whig andlinerican ticket, including Solicitor, Controller, Commis sioner. and Councils, have majorities, some of which approach 1200011 A most signal and righteous verdict against the Nebraska bill. It indicates, in a marked and unmistakable manner, the sentiment of that community'res pecting the course of the Federal Government in relation to the Nebraska bill. The issue was distinctly and generally-made at the polls in every ward and precinct, and the voice of the majority iy now uttered in accents of indignant denunciation against the Admin istration and its adherents. The sentence of the people has gone forth from the sacred spot where the national liberties had their birth, and and its reverberating echoes will be herd and felt in every section of the Republic. Philadelphia has spoken in tones of thunder, her rebuke of the passage of the Nebraska bill, the net which has severed one of the consecra• ted bonds which binds the federation of the States, and we doubt not it will impart hope and joy to the true friends of the Union, whet• ever they may be. se. We are glad to notice that a few Dem. ocratic papers in Pennsylvania have the man liness to denounce the Nebraska iniquity.— Among these are the Bradford Reporter, in Wilmot's District; the Susquehanna Democrat, the organ of Mr. Chace, Speaker of the last House; the Berks county Press, Montgomery Ledger, and Westchester Republican. The Montgomery Ledger in noticing the statement of the Washington Union that fidelity to the Nebraska bill will hereafter be essential to De mocracic orthodoxy, replies: "If no votes are desired other than such as endorse the Nebraska fraud, it will be left in a glorious minority in Pennsylvania. Just bear that in mind, and be careful how you apply the lash." The Berks County .Press is equally emphatic in its denunciation of the bill. The Press is one of the recognized organs in "Old Mother Berko,' and in noticing the passage of the bill, says: "Thus, by Legislative legerdemain, and a violation of the resolutions contained in the Democratic platform, which declared the Com promise of 1850, a full and final settlement of the Slave question; the repeal of the Missouri Compromise effected. Such an unholy con. summation as this act, on the part of the ma jority in Cnngress, to destroy the most sacred compact existing between the States adopted for the common preservation in 1820, is deed of blackening infamy, threatening the eery ex istence of our free institutions, and which wilt yet be rebuked by the sovreign people." A Chance for Speculators, The annexed card we find in the advertising columns of the York Republican. The editor of the Republican says "the lady is all that she represents herself to be. She is a prize worth the asking for, and whichever of our gay young men shall be fortunate enough to get her hand will never have cause to regret it. There is no joke whatever in this. It will be as well, however, to state that she wants a "nice young man and no humbug." MATRIMONIAL A YOUNG LADY, eighteen years of age, generally considered by her friends to he of prepossessing appearance, of affable and plea. sant manners, and of good family, takes this method of seeking for one whom she will pro. mice to "love, honor and obey," at the marriage altar. She only wishes for one of a congenial disposition, a gentleman between the ages of 22 and 30, of respectable parentage, and with a business sufficient to justify him in taking the responsibilities of married life upon his shoul ders. He must be passably good looking.— The advertiser is reserved, diffident, and unac quainted with the false ways of society. associ ating with few (or none) of the opposite sew, but having youth, health, a fair share of this worlds goods, and a cheerful disposition, she wishes a cotnpaniou to enjoy life with her.— Letters addressed to "IMOGENE," York, Pa., (post paid.) will receive prompt attention.

Allen, °Mc United States &Mate, and in the course of conversation, began to question him with a view of obtaining his support for that measure. "Sir," was Mr. Allen's characteristic retort, "1 have no favors to ask for at your hands, and nothing to expect; and if you expect to buy me, you haven't money enough in Washington to do it 1" brir A turtle, weighing 800 pounds, was lately captured off Hog Island, while sleeping on the rurface of the watcr. Douglas. Mr. Stephen A. Douglas has been spending some days in our loin—perhaps is still here— where he has made ono speech to Mr. John Cochrane in an apartment of his tavern, and another in the street to the Empire Club and such adjuncts as could be drummed up by an hour's industrious cannonading in the Park and drumminF through Broadway. We wish more of our citizens could have been induced to guage the intellectual caliber of the "Little Giant" who has stirred up all this row about Nebraska. The first shock of amazement must have bees severe, but the subsequent reflec tions would have been salutary. Do consider a few germs from his Tuesday evening speech: "The simple principle involved in that [Ne braska) question was, that the people of the Territories of the United States shall be allow ed to decide for themselves what kind of laws they would have. * * * * It is no ex cuse to say that the people, if left to them selves, will pass bad laws; if they do, the con sequences of those bad laws must fall upon. their own heads." That is to say: if A is allowed to beat, sell or starve B—the consequences of such bad laws fall not on. defenseless B who is beaten, sold and starved, but on powerful A who is enabled to do him the wrong—and so there is no dan ger that the wrong will not be speedily redres sed I "Now if the people of the Territories are ca pable of legislating upon every question invol ving the well-being of the white man, are they not also capable of legislating for the negro?— [Laughter, and cries of 'yes, yes.'] I do not think it requires any higher intellectual power to make laws for the negro than for the white man." [Great cheering.] Isn't this something to be cheered over 7— Just think of Bute or North getting up in the House ofLords of 1775 and saying, '3ly Lords, "if Parliament is capaple of legislating for En "glishmen, I think it qualified to legislate for "Americans as well." How pot-bellied country squires would have chuckled over and cheered the suggestion I How Sam. Johnson's tory ism would have 'spread itself! 'Parliament "makes good enough laws for us—why not. "good enough then, for Yankees?" "Why," "replies simple Dr. Franklin, because Paths "Ment represents you, is responsible to you, and "does not represent, nor is it responsible to, "the Americans." What Republican can fail to see the distinction?—But Douglas gloats on his glimmer of an idea, and returns to it as something stunning. Let us follow him. "The Abolitionists tell you that the proper way is to give the people of the Territories pow. er to make all the laws for the whites, but none for the bkwks. Now, I say that we should maintain and supp ort our principles consistent ly, and that what i s good enough for whites is good enough for negroes." [Cheers.] The lying little villian knows this to be stee ped in falsehood—knows that no Abolitionist ever proposed to deprive the People of legisla tive power over Blacks or Whites. What they do propose is, that the laws shall be just and equal to all men as men, and take no account of their color as a reason for inflicting degrade. don, injury and wrong upon any class or fac tion. It is he. Stephen A. Douglas, who is try. ing to fix matters no that what is good enough for a part shall /tot be legally accounted good enough for the residue—so that the power to make all laws shall be confined to men of one color, while those of another shall be abused and oppressed under those laws without redress. —But we ought not to have wasted so many words on this miserable creature with his im pudent, brazen sophistry. Itynders himself might have uttered as wicked but not ad 'weak a rigmarole; and we are rather surprised that lie did not, as if in Tammany, after getting a touch of its quality, order the Giant to shut up, and to proceed to make the speech oftho even ingliimself.—N. 17 Tribune. M. On the Bth inst. the editor of the Phila. delphia "News," received the following invita tion—it refers to a grave subject, certainly, but as a faithful chronicler, he could do no less than state what was going on: "To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.-YOU are respectfully invited to attend the funeral of the Democratic Party, which will take place on Sunday morning next, at 9 o'clock, from "Mar ble Hall," Chestnut street above Fourth. The procession will proceed to the "Kansas Nebras ka Territory," and he under the direction of Stephen Arnold Dong:as." "P. S.—A subscription will be taken up to defray the expense of an iron railing, to fence in the said territory." The same reason which induced us to decline the "Salt River" trip in 1852 will induce us to decline a participation in the proposed ceremo• nies. Meantime we hope the party engaged in it may fare better than did the squad that went on a similar errand on Wednesday last, of whom it is said were "beaten with sticks" Since writing the above, a friend has called in to say that the Democrats will hold their election on Tuesday next; a large portion of them having forgotten to attend on Tuesday last. It has been deemed expedient by Presi dent Pierce, Judge Campbell and Mister Lou. glas to adopt this step—rather doubtful. From the Daily News. Letter from Washington. NVASIIINGTON, June 8, 1854 Mr. Edi/or:—The news from the good "City of the multiplication table," is as the noise of the rushing of many waters—perfectly astoun ding, and to old Whigs, who in years by gone, when the returns from Southwark were always made to supply all short-comings in Spring Garden, Northern Liberties, Kensington, he., labored and toiled, and dreamed not of seeing such a result, truly cheering: But it is not a 11%4/ victory, though it is such a one as Whigs may well rejoice in. It is the triumph of prin ciple, of conservatism, of Americanism, and a rebuke to the had faith to which the Nebraska act owes its existence. It is the hand-writing on the wall, and let the conscience-stricken tremble at the doom that awaits them. The Administration and the few friends it has are completely dumbfounded. The blow given them here, on Monday, was severely felt, but followed up, as it has been, by such a stun ning one as Philadelphia has dealt them, no wonder they stagger under it, and look anxious. ly around to see if there are any more of the same kind to fall upon their devoted heads. Upon the passage of the Nebraska measure, and for some time previous, while it was being so vigorously contested in the House, the coun tenances of people here, as a general thing, wore an aspect of gloom and despondency; but that has now cleared away. and given place to the mile of triumph, and of confidence in the future. Every one, save those connected with the Administration, seems to feel assured that "there is it good time coming." Congress will resume business in earnest on Monday next. There is little doubt bat that commissioners will be sent to Spain, to negotiate for the pm , chase of Cuba. The Black Warrior affitir is already obsolete—no chance of provoking a war upon that.

"Pontius Pilate Loring, the unjust judge:" "Ben. Hallett, the kidnap pail" Caleb Cushing, the bloodhound, " and -Frank Pierce, Satan's journeyman."

The Prohibitory Liquor Law Convention. This body met at Harrisburg, on Wednes. day, last. A resloution to accept the issue of a direct vote of the people in October, on the question of Prohibition, wan adopted. The opinion prevailed in the Convention that on the abstract question there would be a large ma jority in its favor. It was determined not to nominate candidates for the Gubernatorial chair, but to publish the replies to the follow ing queries which had been submitted to the candidates for the office: 1. Do you believe a law. prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. except for sacramental, medicinal, mechanical or artistical purposes, to he constitutional? and would its constitutionality, in your opinion, be affected by a submission of its repeal to a vote of the people, provided a majority voted in fa. nor of the law? _ . 2. In the event of your election, should the Legislature enact such a law, will it receive your executive sanction? The following are the replies which were're ceived from Gov. Bigler and Judge Pollock: GOVERNOR BIGLER'S LETTER, HARRISBURG, June 6, 1854. GENTLEMEN; I have been honored by the re ceipt of your communicatton of tho 18th ult., propounding to me certaiq questions touching the subject of a Prohibitory Liquor Law. To your first inquiry I reply that the Su preme Court of the State have repeatedly held, and I can concur in the doctrine, that the Le gislature can excereise all law making power not expressly forbidden by the State or Feder- Constitution. Under this construction, I be- Were the Legislature have authority to control the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors, but in the use of that power, it, must be obvi ous that a law might be passed, which, in its details, would be a manifest violation of the Constitution, and hence the impossibility of answering your question distinctly, without seeing the exact terms of the proposed law. As to the second point in the inquiry, it must be very clear that a law, constitutional in itself, would' not be rendered otherwiie by al lowing the people to decide, by vote whether the Legislature should repeal it or not, no mat ter what that vote. might be. To your second inquiry. I answer, that I sin cerely-deplore the evils of intetnperance, and am now willing, as I always have been, to sanction any proper measure to mitigate, and, if possible, entirely remove the vice; but I can not pledge myself to sanction a law the details of which I have not seen. The terms of the constitution and oath of office would seem to forbid this course on the part of an Executive. He should be free to judge of the constitution. nlity and wisdom of a proposed law after hav ing fully examined and considered its provisions. Very respectfully, your obedient. _ Wm. Throten. To Stephen Miller, Jas. Black, Jas. Piper, Jno. Jones, and Geo. W. Stanton, Esqrs., Com. JUDGE POLLOCK'S LETTER. MILTON, May 30th, 1834, Gentlemen—Your communication in refer once to a prohibitory law has been received, and in reply, I say that the constitutionality of a prohibitory law, similar in its essential fee- I tures to the one referred to in your interroga tories, having received a judicial determination by the highest Courts of several of our sister States, and the principle having been reco,gni. zed by the Supreme Court of the United States, I em relieved from the responsibility of a first decision. These Courts having affirmed the constitutionality of a prohibitory law, and be ing of the highest authority, I believe, upon principle and authority, such a law to. my con stitutional; and its constitutionality, in y woala not be affected by a submission of its repeal tea vote of the people. Every measure of moral or political reform, sanctioned by the representatives nf the people, within the limits of the Constitution, should receive my official sanction. The expediency and propriety of such laws are for else people, through their representatives; and their will, constitutionally declared, should be respected by the Executive. If the people demand, and their representatives enact such a law, their will should not be resisted by the exercise of the veto power—a power purely conservative, and only to be excereised in canes clearly un constittition al, or exhibiting indubitable evi dence of hasty, injurious and imperfect legisla tion. Suds being my views of official duty in the premises, should the legislature, the oonsti. tutional exponents of the popular Will, enact such a law, it would, in the event of my elec tion, receive the executive sanction. Yours, very respectfully, JAS. POLLOCK , To Stephen Miller, Esry., Chairman, and others, Committee, From the Sandwich Islands.

She threatened to Jump into the well if he did not open the door.

NEW•ORLEANS, Tuesday, June 6. We are now in receipt of our California pa pers to to the 16th of Mae, brought here by the Daniel Webster and El Dorado. The amount of treasure on hoard the George Law; en route for New York, is $1,140,000. The Law was detained some time at Aspinwall, by the way-bills of the treasure thiling to arrive with the treasure, and an express had to be sent to Panama for them. Walker's fillibuster force had been disband ed, and the parties comprising it surrendered themselves prisoners, and had arrived at San Francisco in cnstody of the United States au thorities. They were released on parole. The mines were yielding abundantly. The Legislature had adjourned sine die. Mr. Dillon, the French 'Consul, was arrested on the morning of the sixth of May, charged with violating the neutrality laws of the United States. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $lO,OOO. A destructive fire occurred nt York' on the 12th ult. The screw•steamship West Wind had been destroyed by fire. The intelligence from the Sandwich Islands and Oregon is quite unimportant. The Eldorado reports that all was quiet at Acapulco when the mail steamer touched there. The Daniel Webster reports that the Mayor of San Juan had announced his resignation, and the total dissolution of the City Govern- ment. At the latest dates the revolutionists, under Munos and Castellon, were attaching Grenada, which has probably capitulated, and a new go, ernment been eutablished. Among the passengers arrived here from El Dorado, is Madame Pfeiffer, the celebrated German traveller. ARRIV'AL OF THE PACIFIC. Aspects of War Unchanged. Forts at Ilonm Bombarded by Sir Charles Napier. COTTON UNCHANGED. NEW Yon!: June 11 The steamship .

A steamship from Sir Charles Napier's fleet brings the intelligence that Gustasvarnas was bombarded on the 22d without effect. Anoth er attack was intended on the 29th. The advanced works of Hongo, on the Bal tic, have been bombarded and destroyed, and Sir Charles was about attacking the main for tifications. The allied Elects were blockading Sebastopol. The Turkish fleet had arrived off Varna on its way to the Circassian coast. The telegraph from Belgrade announces that Silistria still held out against the attack of the Russian forces on the 26th ult. The Russians had lost 1500 in the attack of the fortress Abdul Medjid. The Greek insurrection appears to be less formidable. It is reported that King Otho accepts the ul• timatum. Naples has declared its intention to main• taro its neutrality. The adhesion of the smaller German powers to the Austro•Prussian treaty has been secured. Russia has certainly coTiciudednireay with Khiea. The Russians before Silistra have been driv en back by the beseiged four times with loss. Tunis is to furnish 10,000 men to the Porte.

Being discovered with her prize, she cut it adrift, and made her way buck to Sebastopol in safety. The Neva wns free from ice May 2d, and had risen so high that an inundation was fear ed. Fifteen stone bridges crossing the Neva were to be broken down, and the remainder to be mounted with heavy cannon. Emperor Nicholas has been quite sick. Sweden.

Large Fire at Allegheny City, PITTSBURG, June 7, Last night, a fire occurred in Allegheny Ci ty, which destroyed eighteen houses; among others, John Stetne's drygoods store, Morris & Patton's grocery store, MeGrathy's clothing store, Magee's and Peter Metz's shoo stores, Klee & Kauffman's clothing store, Wm.

The loss is estimated at $30,000, insured mostly in Pitts burg offices. It is supposed that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and a discharged convict from the penitentiary, named S. Riles, has been arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the ac'.—Piltsburg American. Hosmunas.—The Governor of Honduras Ims issued a proclamation against the alleged de. signs of a company of adventurers from the United States, composed of English; Germans and Americans, who intend to plant an Amer ican colony upon part of the Mosquito territory, which they have seized under a pretence of a sale from the Mosquito King to John Sebas tian Renswiek, a merchant of London. Such an attetnpt, it is alleged, threatens the dignity and rights, as well as the interests, of lbindu ratt, and the Governor appeals to the sense of justice of the United States and all civilized nation,: 14ainst it, From South America.

The following items we take from the Volpe. raiso Echo: Peat.—The yellow fever in Limn WM re• ported as on the decline, and the statistics of the Cemeteries show a considerable tolling off in the mortality. . - The. Southern Provinces had pronounced in favor of General Castilla. Generals Vivanco; San Roman, Colonel La Puerta, and other of• ficials who had been recently banished, had re• turned to Arequipa, and from the deep•rooted hatred nod ancient rivalries between these per. sonages and General Castilla, it was feared that it might ho attempted to get up a counter revolution. General Castilla seas in Cuzco, employed in organizing forces; and some of his partisans were similarly engaged in the rest of the insurreetionary Provinces. All the judici al and civil authorities have beer. replaced by Castilla and his partizans. In the North the President Echeniquo has raised a large array perfectly equipped and armed; but destitute of valor, activity, or hope of triumph. A new passport system has been established, and other measures taken as pre. cautions against the propagandists of the South. BOLIVIA.—The wur with Peru has been con cluded. The President Belzu is nt peace; but has ordered some auxiliary forces to be sent to his friend General Castilla. From Copiapo and Coquimbo we havo noth• tog new. The mines continue very prosper• ous. The French ship-of-war, L'Obligado arrived on the Ist of May, from Central America. The Russian frigate Aurora sailed on the 16th of April on a cruise. The Lima Foreign News gives the following details of the melancholy loss of seven hundred and thirty-one Peruvian troops. The Peruvian transport Mercedes, bound from Casma to Cal lao, with about eight hundred troops on board, struck upon a rock near the month of Casma harbor, on the morning of the Ist May. The Mercedes was accompanied by the government steamer Rime, the officers of which rendered every possible assistance, but without effect.— The Mercedes went down soon after she struck, carrying with her seven hundred and Hart/tone perscn!L . . A difficulty had taken place between the Peruvian government and the French Minister, owing to the murder of a man who had placed himself under French protection. On May Bth, the Minister lowered his flag and went on board the frigate La Forte. Private advices inform us that the matter is likely to he ar ranged. The Lima News of May 11th says: "A gov ernment decree was lately passed, prohibiting foreigners from carrying arms into the interior. By the exertions of the American Minister, (lion. J. Randolph Clay,) this decree has been modified, so far as regards citizens of the Cni• ted States." The same paper says: "We understand that the I'. S. N. Co. are daily expecting the arrival of a titst sailing steamer to be placed in the above trade in conjunction with their fleet of steamers at present plying on this coast. The Osprey, the name of the steamship in tended for this trade, will leave Callon for the Chinches and Pisco on the Ist, Bth, 15th and 24th of each month—returning from Pisco and the Islands on the days following, thus afford ing to masters of vessels and others stationed at the islands, a cheap and speedy conveyance to and front Callao." Why are so many Ships Lost? During a period of eighteen months, en-ling in September, 1853, one hundred and three ships and barques, one hundred and forty-four brigs, and three hundred and twenty-seven schooners and sloops, were Jost at sea; fifty vessels, which had previously sailed, were never afterwards heard from; eight hundred and thir ty-eight put into port in distress, and one hun dred and two wrecks were passed—making a total loss, for the period given, as calculated by a writer in the Boston Atlas, of one vessel lost every eleven hours; one stranded every forty four hours; one abandoned every seventy-fire hours, and one sailing and never afterwards heard from, every ton days. Such a statement as this should awaken earnest inquiry concern ing the causes of these disasters The calcula tion is almost exclusively confined to American Shipping. Few can read it unmoved, and yet if the loss of life, ns well as of property, had been included, and if the dreadful sufferings of the dead and the bereaved could be set forth, the horrors of the picture would be infinitely increased.—N. Y. Time, A CHINESE NEWSPAPER.—We have received from San Francisco a number of the "Golden Hills News," printed entirely in Chinese, with a request, "please exchange.' The contents, we have no doubt, are very interesting, but are a sealed book to us—for we have never drank at the fountains of Confucian literature, except the simple streams of Bohee and Hysen, and even these, to suit our taste, were much diluted. The "Golden Hills News," we presume, is a progressive, go-ahead paper, and represents Young Hyson. Its typography looks like flies' legs, butterflies' wings and spiders' claws, ar ranged for a country dance, the column roles are drawn across the sheet, and you must read it crab fashion backwards. We welcome this accession to the tediurnal press of America, and invite the curious to inspect our number at the Sun office.—Phtlet. on. air On Monday of last week, no two broth ers of the name of Stone were out hunting, on Broad mountain, Sehttylkill county, they sur prised a large bear. On coining within a short distance of the bear, the younger brother fired but missed him, when Brttin made a spring at hint, and with one blow of his hugo paw knock ed him senseless to the earth, breaking several ribs. The elder brother then fired at the hear, and the shot taking effect in'the heart; he drop ped dead. He weighed 1068 pounds. Young Mr. Stone is in n fair way to recover. Washington Affairs—Spanish Difficulty. WASHINGTON, June 11. Something definite and important with re• Bard to our relations with Spain is anticipated to transpire within the coming week. For several days the State department and the Span. ish legation have been discussing the question between the two countries, and it is certain that they are likely to be arranged in a man. ner most satisfactory to both. The President intends to rusticate at Old Point Comfort during a part of the summer.— De Russy's cottage at that place is to be fitted up for his accommodation. JAUES W. Gams, N 4 lug candidate for Gm'. ernor of lowa, is on the stump. He spoke at Mount Pleasant, Henry Co., on the 28th ult. to us many as could crowd into the Court-house, while many went away unable to get in. He took decided ground against the Nebraska Mi. quity, and in fiivor of Liquor Prohibition. Va. A man was lined five dollars on Saha. day, for bringing into Rochester a load of calves, with the head of one of them hanging down by the wagon wheel. We commend this example to the authorties of other places, where market calves and sheep are habitually teal. treated, with a cruelty which would he dirt• graceful to savages. WONDERFUL. ESCAPE.-A woman, named Ray, who was walking on Boyd's Hill, in Pitts. burg, on Thursday evening of last week, about nine o'clock, incautiously approached too near the edge of the precipice, and was precipitated into the quarry below, a distance of fifty feet. At the time of the full she had a small child in her arms, hit, strange to say, lit on her feet, without doing any material injury to either herself or child.—Pittsburg American. ma.cnApmAN's chanude.• says, that when Pierce subscribes his name to the Nebraska and Kenna bill, he signs his own death war. rant, politically, and fixes stronger, if possible, the doom which inevitably awaits him, at the expiration of the present Presidential term.— Chapman ought to know, for he was one who aided in the elect io n of Piece, For the Journal. Me, Entrou :—ln the Journal of 3d of May I notice n communication under the signature of D., with a view of giving publicity to the verdict of the second Inquest held on the body of James Stambaugh. Such a course is not unprecedented, when a felon lying in fetters awaiting the just reward of his crimes, it is not unnatural for his friends to resort to any and every emergency to exculpate him from the charge against him; not only in our courts' f justice, but also public opinion. Such is the intention in this case; that the person under arrest for the murder of Sttunbaugh, will stand non-committed in the eye of the law, as well as public opinion. Much care has been taken to secure the intelligenee and regular aid for a second jury, while the first was composed of as much intelligence—lacking the regulars; as tho second, or any other parked for the purpose.—. Our object is not to controvert the merits of the two juries or their awards, neither do we intend to notice the matter further, as the Court of Oyer and Terminer, (if I am right,) will determine from the evidence before it, but to guard public opinion from any false impres sions that may be placed before it to mislead. A FRIEND TO JUSTICE. For the Journal, Mr. EDITOR:-It has been a custom for years past, for a set of rowdies to gather at what is.called the "Big meetings" of the Dun. !cards, which are held at their church in Ger many valley, near Shirleysburg. Those who go 4o church for the purpose of disturbing the congregation: had better, before they proceed in their nefarious course, give a lawyer five dollars for a 'bit' of advice, for fear they might ho "put where the dogs won't bark at them." It is a very dangerous thing for any person to disturb a religious meeting, be that denomina tion what it may. This rowdyism has been borne with for a great many years, (for the rya son that said society are opposed to Iftwiug;) but such proceedings cannot be looked upon moth longer with impunity. A MEMBER.

The most extraordinary discovery in the World is the Great Arabian Remedy for Van and Beast. IT. C. FARRELL'S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. TRIUMPHANT OVER DISEASE. This truly great medicine still goes on, con quering disease, and snatching many a poor powerless victim from the grave. By its pow. erfully stimulating, penetrating and anodyne qualities, it restores the use of the limbs which have been palsied for years; and by its singular power of reproducing the synovial fluid or joint water, it cures all diseases of the joints with surprising rapidity. For rheumatism, and af fections of the spine and spleen, it has proved itself a specific; and for affections of the lungs, liver and kidneys, it is a must valuable and powerful auxiliary; also, for all diseases of the glands, scrofula, goitre or swelled neck, etc., etc. And indeed for almost any disease where an external application is required, this medi• eine stands unparalleled. Sprains, bruises, cramps, wounds, chilblains, burns, etc. : are speedily cured by it. Front the Hen. Peter fifenard, one of the oldest settlers in Illinois. It gives me pleasure to add my testimony to the virtues of your great medicine. One of my blooded horses had a swelling over the cap of the knee, about the size of a hen's egg. Some said it was a strain, and some, that it was the joint water from the knee, and could not be cured. I tried oil cedar on it, and all the lini• rants and ointments, and they did no more good than water. I then, by persuasion of my friends, tried U. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, and I was happy to find it take effect atter a few days, and it finally cured the noble animal entirely. I think it is decidedly, the greatest liniment for horse's, as well as human flesh, I ever knew. Tremont, Tazewell co., 111., March 16th '49. PALSY OR PARALYSIS. Thadeus Smith, of Mudd Creek, Tazewell county, Illinois, says: "I had lost the use of my arm for more than a year, by palsy or paralysis; the flesh had entirely withered away, leaving nothing but skin, muscle and bone. I tried all the best doctors, and all the remedies I could bear of, but they did no good. I then corn. menced the use of H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, and a few bottles entirely cured me, and my arm is now as strong and fleshy , as the other: it is also first rate for burns, &pram sad bruises. Look out for Counterfeits! The public are cautioned against another counterfeit, which has lately made its appear , ante, culled W. B. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, the most dangerous of all the counterfeits, be. cause his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects.
