GETTYSBURG, July V, 1835 Mu. MIDDLETox, As I could not conveniently comply with the re quest of the Temperance Society of this place, to fur nisha copy of the Address I delivered at its last rueejing fur publication; and as Brother WATSON so partiularly desired that the anecdote respecting the Indians might be published,' send it to you for thatpur pose. I have it from the Rev. G. G. CooscsfArt, of Baltimore. It is given snore fully than I related it on that occasion. The Trader and the Indians. A certain white trader amongst the In. dians had accumulated considerable wealth by purchasing their furs, in exchange for the articles of civilized life—particularly Ar dent Spirits. It was his regular custom pre vious to his barter, to ,ply the Indians) with Rum—and thus, by throwing them offj their guard, effect a profitable speculation. At length, the Providence of God so ordered it, that a Christian Missionary found his way into the tribe, and by faithful preaching un• der the aid and blessings of the Holy Spirit, effected a complete reformation. This changewas soon perceived in their general character,and particularly in their total ab. stinance from Ardent Spirits. They were thorough going temperance . men, as well a their Minister. The white trader found the prOspeet of his lucrative gain entirely cut off, 'by the improved motels and clear heads of the Indians, who were now fully able to de. tact any imposition and defend themselves. "He, however, affected to ridicule the whole matter—attributed it to mere hypo& risy—and swore if the Indians had a good opportunity, out of sight of the Missionary,, they would drink Rum as fast as ever. This he undertook to prove. Accordingly,he sta tions himself in all Indian foot path, with a small Keg of . Whiskey—and, hearing the footsteps of the Indians as they approached, he deposited his Keg on the track and hides himself close by in the neighboring bushes. Presently four- Indians came travelling on single file, Indian fashion. The first en countering the Keg of whiskey, calls a halt, and looks very grave—says he, "what have we here? . It is the Boil Spirit," (called by aertie of the Indiansfre.water.) The second stops and says, significantly, enough—"me smell him!" he third shakes the Keg with his toe and cries—"me hear lam!" The fourth comes up with a run, and making a demonstration, with all the indignation wet.• thy the President of a Temperance Society, gives the Keg one tremendous kick, which sends it tumbling down the neighboring de clivity! On went the Indians, in all the tri• umph of conscious and vindicated virtue— whilst the poor white trader issues forth from his hiding place to pursue his rolling Keg; and whilst he suffers all the mortifica. tion of an entire defeat, he has time to reflect that a virtuous, uneducf . yed, Adian, is infi nitely superior to a savage white man!" Letter from Peter Pippindickle WEEKEEPEEMEE, July 28, 1835. To my old friend, the Editor of the Gettysburg Star and Republican Banner. DEAR Snt:— As I Was travelling, a few days ago, from this place to Baltimore, about two or three 'miles below - Gettysburg 1 overtook a man 'and a small boy driving a flock of Sheep.— 'Well,. after passing the usual salutations of how-do.you-do, &c. supposing him to be a drover, Tasked him how far ho purposed going that evening—" Why," says he, "Pm only taking my drove to Yonder field, the first ono beyond the ploughed one that you can see way ahead there—(pointing to one about a quarter ofa snide down the turnpike;) and, says he, "my name is Doolittle. I live in yon white house, (pointing to a very comfortably'looking dwelling,)—and if you are not in amparticalar hurry, I should be glad of your company—for perhap4 I may kneed a little'help before .1 get them in the field." Seeing he appeared a pretty talka tive sort of a man; I readily agreed. After; his thanking me for assenting, says he, "Stranger, as I've told you my name, I hope it will be no offence if I ask you if you are a Pennsylvanian, and your nameV' "Not at all," says I; "I was born and rais ed in Pennsylvania. My name is Peter Pippindickle. I live in a small town that lays sail, the other aide of the mountain call ed Weekeepeemee." "Aye," says he, "Weekeepeemee--hey! -I don't recollect of ever hearing of the place before; but that matters not. Who are you Weekeepeemeans a going to make Govern or.". ' "Q," says . I, "some say Bitten., and some say Wolf; tor my part I thick its hard to tell - who will be elected." r, "Well," says he, "is there none there for Muldelithergr "Mame tiow,"sayal, "there wasa young :PenkAite there some two or three m mills NO, who was a Printer by trade; . but people say Muhleuberg bired him to go somewhere ot,Ofiter to pitPt a paper tor 'him."

"Who told you?" says he. "Why," says I, "my brother told me, that ono of the delegates froth Gettysburg to the Lewistown Convention told him, that Wolf would not get more than ten votes in Get tysburg; and I stopped to-day eight miles a bove Gettysburg, to get some dinner; seeing a good many papers laying on' the table, I took Jp one, I think it was headed the "Peo ple's Press," edited by Horner & Cooper, and published by I don't know who. After looking at the heading, the first thing that caught my eye, was, that some time ago we thought that Wolf would get four votes in the borough but now he will not get more than three, or something to that amount." "Now," says he, "I'll be switched it they aint all wrong, for I lived in Gettyglatrg sev eral years, and I think that I ought to know how the election is a .going there better than that comes to; and .1 guess that if they will look in the last "Star & Banner," they will find that some are willing to bet that Wolf will beat M uhlenberg in the Borough; and if the Muhlies don't take up the bet,peo pie will have reason to suspect that they think so too." Says I, "Mr. Doolittle, will you tell, me who the leaders of the Miden berg party in Gettysburg are, and how ma ny followers they hove?" "Yes," says ho, "I can soon do that, and more too; for I can name them all to you"— but before he had time to tell me, or the boy time to get the hors down, over the fence in to the ploughed field goes and old wether, but not the bell-wether, by-the-by; then an other, and" then another, and then, what I supposed to be, a ram-lamb, and then the bell-wether; and over they went, helter skel ter, until between fifty and sixty were over. "Now," says he, "I'll be darned to darns tion, if I can see what possessed them weth ere to lead them sheep over into that plough ed field, for the 'earned numbsculs might have known that there was no chalice of getting anything to eat there; but so it is, and there is no use of getting into a passion about it. Some of them may be plagy glad to get back yet, before all is over. Mr. Pippindickle, will you be so good as to help me get them back again?" "Certainly," says!, "I never leave a man in a pinch," (as I kregan to mount the fence.) Again, M r. Doolittle reiterated, "I'll be darn ed, if I can see what in the name'of common sense, induced them critters to jump into that held!" (seating himself on the top of the fence.) But by this time, it appeared that the last over found their leaders had deceived them; for they began to jump back like all fury, and they all jumpt back in a little less than no time, except the four old wethers, and, what I had taken to be, n lamb. But those that jumped back, did'nt wait for their leaders; for they commenced running, and run lake Sam Hill, until they were safe and -in as good pasture as they were before they were misled. - lathe mean time, the old wethers in the field kept jump.. ing, and jumping, and jumping; but all to no purpose. For it appeared, somehow or oth er, as though they had strained themselves across the kindneysin jumping into the field. Says I, "Mr. Doolittle, had'nt we better help them over the fence?" "No," says he, "for I was doing all far them that was in my power; they always got the best pasture that I had in my power:to give; yet, it appears, they were never satisfied; as they got their own selves into the scrape, they may get their own selves out again. But if they do,I reckon theyiwill have a plagy hard job of it." "But," says I, "Mr. Doolittle, I hope you will not leave that little weeny lamb there?" "What," said he, "do you think that that's a lamb." "Why," says 1, "from its stze,l should suppose so." "Then you would sup pose wrong," says he, "for that's no lamb, and it ought to have more sense—than it has, considering its age." "Why," says I, "how old is it?" . "I don't exactly know," says he, "for 1 did'nt raise at; but I know it once belonged to a large, thriving flock; but it appeared, that it thought it did'nt get bran and salt enough to lick- ' so, unbeknown to me, it jumps'into my field! Well 1 knew the old flock did'nt consider its company any groat loss, and indeed, I did'nt consider it any great honor to mine; for I never liked the screw noy little - thing. It always looked so mosey-like! Yet I thought I would toy, and see if I could'nt make something out of it. So I give it all the salt and bran, to lick that I had. But last winter was so cold, that it lost Its horns!" "What!" says I, "had it over horns?" "0 yes!" says ho, "it !lades large horns, us could be expected—on so little a brute. But, as I just told you, the winter was too cold for them to stick! Now, there he is (point ing towards him) with the company of his own choice; and them he and all the rest shall stay; for my !lock is bettor without them." While this conversation was passing, I observ ed that all had sneaked off and laid down in the dirt that they had got thomsolvus into, except tho old boll wothor—who now appeared as anxious to get back, as the last over were—fur he kept try. mg, and trying, but all to no purpose; for as often as he jumped, so often he would fall souse on his back! .At last, straining every nerve, and taking a fair start, he made such a bold push for over,tbat he ketched his fore legs on the top rail! "May I never move," says I, "Mr. Doolittle.if I don't think he'll got over this timo." But I was soon disap. pointed; for loosing his balance, back ho went,m. to the Seld, whack on his back, and there he lay and looked so imploringly, that I really pittiod him. Says I, "Mr. Doolittle, I think we ought to help him back; you know he was the last of the first five that jumped over. "I know ho was," says he, "and he has boon in my flock for many years; and Its the first scrape, but ono, that I've known Limn to get into; and Men ho was led into it by the same set, who, I suppose, this time made him beliovo 'that there was a bet- ter chance of fine living in that field, than there was in the big field that they have run in for a number of veers buck; and as it•uppetre evident that ho is sorry that ho jiniipt the fence, if ho can mount the top rail again, we will help him over." As he said "we'll help him over," ho made a dos. pOrate spring, and bum enough he mounted the top rail! So we caught him, and took him to the field whore the rent wore, and let him go.. But it appeared that those that hud been but a abort time house; for I hope Mr. Pippindickle will not object to staying with me to night?" "Certainly not, Mr. Doolittle," says I, "and I'm much obliged to you for your Aindness." fly this time wo had ar. rived at the house. Mr. Doolittle introduced me to his little family, which consisted of his wife and three children, and by.the..hy, they wore not to be sneez'd at—for they were as Fielite, and as clean as though they had been raised in the City of New York. We had not been in the house but a few minutes, before Mrs. Doolittle Informed us that supper was ready, and I can assure you, Mr. Editor, that she had no reason to be ashamed of it; for the table was covered with every thing that the market aflorded, and I really thought the cof. fee was the best that I ever drank. After supper was over, says I, "Mr. Doolittle, you did'nt finish tolling me about the. Muhlies in Gettysburg." "No," says he, "but after von hay. ing witnessed the conduct of my Shoop to day, 1 can soon give you to understand all about them— when I tell you, that the number of their loaders, their followers, and their conduct, is not unlike the sheep that jumphinto . the ploughed field—ox. copt that their loaders are possessed of rather worse dispositions than the old Avothorg; for thOso Muldie leaders in Gettysburg attempted to lead a flock astray last fall, and the election showed . the weight of their influence. Bul not satisfied with their defeat last year, the same molly set jumpt another fence this year, and, I'm sorry to sny,suc. acetic(' In getting from fifty to sixty to follow them, but the last over, like my sheep. soon discovered that they had been deceived, and they have coin. =need jumping back; and mark my words. Mr. Pippindick le, that the second Tuesday of October next will find their loaders in the same prodica• moot that wo left the Old Wothors and the Little Rum in the ploughed field." "%Veil," says I, "Mr. Doolittle, you have told me quite a different tale from what the LP wistown delegate told my brother." "That may he," says Ito, "but I'll leave it to your old friend, Ow Editor of ilie "Star and Banner," to say hi right, the delegate or tnyttell." And now, Mr. Editor, I write you those few lines, asking you to be so gond as to write me, which is the nearest right—lbr there is a good many of my neighbors herethat wants to laugh ut the good news, but they dars'nt, for fear .Mr. 'Doolittle was only making fun; for if every one grins nt what Mr:Doolittle told mo p and then it should turn out false, there would be no fun in be. ing made to laugh out of the wrong corner of their mouths! By complying with the above request, you will much oblige your old friond, PETER PIPPINDICKLE P. S. If you hav'nt time to write, please state n your next "Star and Banner," whether tho Veekeepeomeoans can laugh with safoty. For too Star & Bannon Ml 2. EDITOR, A few days ago, I happened to fall int( Company with a Gentleman from the cowl try. In the course of conversation, I dis covered him to be a strong advocate of the General System of Education; and at length we got on the subject of the coining election, as respects the next Governor. He then stated to me, that he had been told by a neighbor of his, who was opposed to the school law, that he did not believe that Go vernor Wolf could be re-elected, on account of the decided stand he had taken in favor of the general system of education, as the law was oppressive on the large property holders, who generally sway the eluctions, arid are, on this account, opposed to Mr. Wolf, and then wound up the matter by stating, that he had no doubt.a considerable portion, or number, of the poor o. lower.' class of people would support Mr. Wolf, on account of this oppressive system of educa tion, which puts the poor man's child on the same footing with the rich as respects a com mon education, and that, too, at the expense of the wealthy. This is about the amount of the conversation as near as I can recollect. The above being the principal objection to Gpv. Wolf, by those in fitvor of H. A. Muhlenbcrg, knowing him (Muhlenherg,) to be opposed to the General System of Edu• cation. In Berks county, where the Parson . resides, I believe the Flags aro yet flying to this day, "MUHLEN BERG, AND NO FREE SCHOOLS I" Let the poor inn consider this matter well, and he will at once perceive that his child is on the same foot ing, and has the same privileges, with that of the rich, under the present system of edu cation. I must however state, that there are some very honorable exceptionbamong the wealth ier class of citizens,who are warm advocates of the present system of education,for which, they deserve, not only the praise, but the support of every poor man who has any feel ing for his ofThprings, and is destitute of the means of educating- them. There is an old saying, and I believe a very true one, that the poorer class of people are burthened with the largest number of children, which is one great cause of their poverty; there fore, let a small trifle of the rich man's funds be applyed to the • education of the poor, which would benefit the one, and not injure the other. By taken a fair view of this sub ject, all must acknowledge, that George Wolf, the present Governor, is the friend of -the poor man, and has always felt a warm desire that the poor man's child should be educated us well as the rich—so that the talent might be brought to light, which oth erwise would remain buried in ignorance. THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND. For tho Star & Banner MR. M IDDLETON, Will the fatuous Democrat who figures, so augustly in the last "Gumboiler," respect ing the meeting which was held by the Dem ocratic Citizens friendly to the re-election of George Wolf, be so kind, so obliging, and. so condescending, as to inform his Muhlie friends, how Wien that varmint what-talks so much about Lancaster, has turned his Gnat within the last six years? You know I mean him what keeps the big book, in which he has every voter's name in the Borough registered, and who each one is to vote for; in which also divers-bets are recorded—a- mnng others I observed one with the name of a certain would.be-Senator attached to it; betting that George Wolf would not receive 2,50 votes in the county! The object of the enquirer is to enable the varmint's friends to ascertain the average number of Months be tween turns, in order that they may be the better able to judge whether there is the least probability of his remaining steadfast in the Muhlie faith ; until the second Tuesday of October next, at 6 o'clock P. M.; as it ap pears that some of his Muhlie friends are rather apprehensive that the time ij quite too long for one of the chameleon kind; for a Muhlie the other day remarked, that if he held out until the election, it would he well, for may I never move, (added he) if I have any faith in him!! LANCASTER. P.. S. By answering the above question you will confer a great favor on many a de sponding Multlie I Spirit of the Times. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, [Whig paper.] The Whigs &lhe next Governor The Gettysburg (Pa.) Sentinel holds the _ . tbllowingaittiguage: "From psent appearances we should judge that there will be but three candidates in the field for G overnor— Wolf, Muldenberg and Ritner. The Whig party thro'otit the State,numbering as it does, a great amount of physical strength Anima and respectability, it appears, has not nerve enough to enter the field as a competitor in the contest—but chooses to do the drudgery and bear the brunt of the battle for those who will not share the honors of victory with them. The Whigs will, therefore, be scattered among the other contending parties,and their indentity lost. Many of them will go for Woll,for his manly and independent course in the muse of Education,Sr.c,; many of them will vote for Ritner—and a few for Muhlenberg: and this most favored moment for unfurling their own proud banner to the breeze will he suffered to pa:s by. We wash ourdiands of such craven hearted policy. The 'Sentinel was one of the very few pa pers in the state that advocated a Whig State Convention. It seems that the majori ty of the party having decided against that unwise and disorganizing project, the Get tyshurg editor is now anxious to make the Impression that many of the Whigs will go for Wolf, because of what it calls his "man• ly and independent cour, , e in the cause of education!" We can assure the editor of the Sentinel that ho is as grossly deceived in this mutter as he was with reference *.o Whig convention, and that on the second Tuesday of October ensuing, fewer Whigs will be found in the ranks of Martin Van Buren and George Wolf than on any former occasion. We reside in the First Congres sional district, and hove had opportunities Within the last month or two to attend seve ral meetings of our political friends in that d;strict, and thus far we have been unable o find a single Whig among the numbOr who intends to support Gov. Wolf. It may be otherwise in the city, but we have reason to believe, that long before the election the great majority of the party, from ono end of the state to the other, will unite, and take decided ground in favour of Mr. Ritner. The course of the Gettysburg editor does not sur prise us. We possess a key to the secret of his hostility to the Washington County Far mer, and may at some future period unfold the mystery. We agree with him most cor dially as to the strength, talent and respecta bility of the Whig party of this .common• wealth. We believe it is corn posed of as pure and disinterested a band of patriots as ever struggled against corruption and tyran ny; and it is because we entertain this exalt ed opinion of our political associates and friends, that we feel assured that they will never lend themselves to the re-election of such a weak and vascillating chief magistrate as Geo. Wolf—a man whose principles are as unstable as the wind—who in the first in stance was nominated through fraud—in the second, was elected by the aid of forgery-- and who is now before the people as a can didate for re-election,under circumstances of the most disgraceful character. It is well known, that from the hour of his first elec tion, up to this moment, he has been a mere creature in the hands of a few bold and de signing politicians in this part of the state, and that although he secretly abhors and de spises Mr. Van Buren, he is willing, for the sake of being re-elected, to identify himself with the political fortunes of that individual. To suppose, therefore, that under such cir cumstances,any considerable number of the high-minded Whigs of Pennsylvania will yield their support to s►ich a man, is to cast a reproach upon their motives and principles which no true friend would be guilty of. The Gettysburg editor talks of"unfurling oar banner to the breeze." Such language ' is quite pretty and poetical; but in order to check the progress of corruption, and vindi cate the supremacy of the constitution and the laws, we incline to the opinion, that the best plan is to induce our friends to put their votes in the ballot boxes—to unite and act in concert against the common enemy, instead of talking of our banner and the breeze, and at the same time encouraging our opponents, by intimating that a large portion of our par ty will vote for their candidate. We have no disposition to quarrel wit h any friend, and re gret that the language above quoted has in a measure compelled us to say a word in reply: but wally of our contemporaries throughout the state, after having discoverd that the great mass of the party intend to support Nfr. )2 liner, have determined to play into the hands of our opponents, and support Wolf, we trust they will assume courage enough to say so frankly and without equivocation. The Reading Democratic Press, (a Wolf paper,) of the 14th, states that "it is ascer tained that arrangements are contemplated for the withdrawal of Muhlenberg from the political field," and that some of the Phila delphia Muhlies had arrived there to effect this very desirable object. There is, we think, some ground for the statement. How ever., we have no interest in this matter.— :The election ofonr candidate is secured be yond the reach of any contingency. His majority will be large enough, without ei ther of the other candidates withdrawing from the field to increase it.—[Beaver Arg. To the Editors of the Washington Reporter. GENTLEMEN-I observed in the last "Ex a miner," a great display of nnmesset forth, as a Committee of Vigilance, of the Wolf party, for the different Townships and Bor oughs of Washington County : and amon g st these names I discover that the wire-wok ers' of the Wolf party have had the assu rance, without my knowledge or consent, to make use of my name as a committee man for the borough of Washington. Now I wish to have it understood that I will do nothing either . direetly or indirectly to pro. mole the election of George Wolf—believ ing him to be brought forward as a candidate by a self-created caucus—composed princi- pally ofoltice-holders and their relations, contrary to all the princples and usages of democracy. I subscribe to the sound dem• ocratic doctrine of rotation in office and be lieve that two constitutional terms is as long as any man should hold the office of Gover nor of Pennsylvania, so long as so large an amount of patronage remains at his disposal. I have always considered myself as a democratic republican, and wish to be sct considered; and, therefore cannot under any circumstances give my support to Mr. Wolf —but will use what little influence I possess in favour of our worthy neighbour and fellow citizen,JosEm IturtEa,believing him to be honest, capable and a sound democrat of the Jeffersonian stamp, and that if elected (and it appears to be always universally admitted that he will be) our state will be redeemed from misrule, and a prodigal expenditure of the people's money along the lines of our in ternal improvements, and an economical administration establishment,which will re dound to the interest,nnd honour of the State. JACOB BECK. Washington, Pa. July 13, 1835. "THE UNKINDEST CUT OF ALL. " —Those who recollect the humble apologies and deprecating explanations made by Mr. Van Buren to the British Government,lfor the purpose of obtaining the West India Trade, will be not a little surprized that his profes sed ftllowers should have written and drank the following toast, so condemnatory of his diplomatic conduct. We are glad however, they have done so, as it will cauee many who had forgotton the 'transaction of the early part of Jackson's administration, to look back and contrast the dignity and firmness of Mr. Livingston with the crouching, suppli eating degrading instructions of Mr. Van Buren, and letters of Mr. M'Lane, while negociating, or rather begging for the West India Treaty. VI. Explanations, Apologies, Retrac• tions and Submissions—Varied shades of national dishonor; one and all odious to a people, who ask nothing but what is right, and will submit to nothing that is wrong. Some of the eastern papers are giving an account of a - child, which, at birth, wasput in a pent tankard. We know something better than that. We have a neighbor, a blank-paper-and-twine editor, who, at birth, was put in a tankard, which unfortunately happened to be filled with beer, but instead of being drowned, he drank the whole con tents at a single pull, and then shouted, with a precocity rather astonishing in an infant --"Give us another pot of your ale, daddy." We need not add, that throughout life he has faithfully kept the promise of his Iran cy.—Loutsvzlle Journal. The Van Buren papers say that Col John son will make a satisfactory explanation of his whole political course. The Peters. burg Constellation , in reply, exclaims: "Can he make black white?" That is a tough question. We do not know that the Col. can really make black white, but he has of ten bleached it to a dingy yellow: Give him time, and he can do wonders.—ib. A Mississippi editor, speaking of Robert J. Walker, the newly elected U. S. Sena tor, says "His words, in spenking, are re markably smooth and liquid." We know not, whether aught liquid ever comes oul of Mr. W's mouth, but we do know, that liquids habitually go into it by the jug-full.--ib. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Capt. READ has been suspended from the service for one year, for his improper treat- ment of-midshipman Wilson. If the state ment of the transaction published in the newspapers be true,this is a mild and merci• ful sentence,and we hope will have the effect of inducing Capt. Read to be more careful in his treatment of officers in future. BREACH OF PROMISE.—The New York Transcript is about to publish a pamphlet containing the trial of Barnard vs M re. Gaul, for a breach ofpromise of marriage, together with a large portion of the correspondence. In our last we noticed that the jury had given him a verdict for 81000 damages, instead of which he ought to have been tarred and feathered. The suit was instituted and the verdict given by the jury under the idea that the parents of Mrs. Gaul, or Miss Powers, were rich. The correspondence on her part is tolerably well written, and will reflect cred it to her,—that on his part is inferior and luberly, and the only wonder is that she could ever have countenanced him. The jury must have been composed ofdisappoint ed old Bachelors or they never would have allowed so ungallant a verdict. The fellow, it appears, had kept her suspended between hope and fear, by his promise of marrage, for a period of five years, and proving his affection and sincerity, by some half a dozen visits. He had kept her ignorant of his pecuniary situation and prospects, and to all apperance was as far from being marred at the end of the five years' courtship as when it first commenced, and it is doubtful whether he ever intended to marry her. She may thank her stars, however, that she has freed herself from a fellow of such dimensions. His sole object appeared to be pecuniary gain for when she appealed to him to release her from the engagement, he replied after some sputtering, thnt she could buy a release-- salve his injured innocence by a few dollars. Tar and feathers would be too good for the rascal. The following note is from the New- Yorker: P.S. We hear that Judge Edwards has set aside the verdict as contrary to law and evi• dence,either quashing the entire proceedings or grantit , a new trial, we do not know which. So that .Ir. Barnard's heart is not mended, after all. A gentleman in this city, with whom we are well acquainted, purchased some years ago, a township ofland in the State of Maine, for two cents and a half an acre—amount ing to about $620. Some two or three years afterward, he sold the township for s47,ooo—it has sine changed proprietors, once or twice, and in one of •there changes one Of them received $14,000 for lumber taken from it.

SINGULAR MA RRIAGE. In the month of January. 1817, Mr. lIARRY Rocrt- WSLL and &MISR NIILEB were united in the bands of matrimony,by the Rev. Mr. West, of East Hampton. In October, 1319, business called Mr. Rockwell to Savannahjrom which place he intended to return in a bout 6 months; but unforeseen circumstances preven ted his return until the 4th of July last—having been absent 16 years, 8 months and 27 days. During his absence,Mrs. Rockwell obtained a billordivorce, and was a second time married. With her second husband she lived until his death, which happened March 12th, 1831, and front that to the present time she has re mained a widow. On Saturday, the 4th inst. Mr. Rockwell arrived in Chathart, East Ilamptoii Society, and fountl her that was once his wife, in the same house in which he left her, iu the year 1817; and on Thnrsday afternoon the 9th inst., they were again united in the bands of Matrimony, by the Rev. Mr. Loper of Middle Haddarn—a short but comprehensive address was delivered on the occasion. Like Noah's dove that from the Ark, Was sent forth all alone, He found no mate to cheer his heart, Until he did return.

MORE TROUBLE WITB THE BLACKS.-A letter to the editor of the Philadelphia Gaz ette, dated CANTON, (Mississippi) July 3, btates that the whole of that section of coun try was in a state of alarm, in consequence of it having been reported that the negroes were about to rise on the whites. A white man who was concerned with the negroes, was taken up, found guilty, and hung at once. One negro received 600 lashes be fore he would discover any thing; he then informed them that the blacks wore to rise on the 4th July. They had hanged two ne groes at Livingston, and fifteen on hand were expected to meet a similar fate. A volunteer company was forming, and the Secretary of War had been sent to for a 4 company of soldiers to protect the citizens. The inhabitants were patrolling every night. RENEWAL OF DISTURBANCES.--The Ral ttmore papers contain an extract from the Toledo Gazette—extra, published in the territory in dispute between Ohio and Michi gan, giving a most unpleasant account of an attack made by 250 slichiganians upon the citizens of Toledo. Several of the ci , izons were abused and some of them carried off to Monroe, and there imprisoned. The ed itor states that they broke into his office, demolished his press, type, acc. leaving him scarce sufficient materials to publish the outrage. It is said to have done at the in stigation of Gov. Mason, of Michigan.— When will peace and harmony be restored to these people? All these difficulties have arisen from the unfortunate propensity our Congressmen have for speaking. Had the House of Representatives passed the Sen ate's bill on this subject, the question would have been settled.--. Westminster Carroll!. HANOVER, Pa. July.2B. Mr. James Mills, mronaut, made a very successful balloon ascension from the com mon at York on Saturday last, 15th inst. At 12 o'clock M. the gates of the inclosure were thrown open for the reception of visi ters; in a short time the interesting process of inflation commenced, and progressed rap idly towards completion—when a squall a rose from the west, accompanied by a show er of rain. Mr. M.'s operations were tem porarily suspended by this occurrence; but, the weather again became clear and plea sant—his operations were resumed, and at 4 P. M. he took his seat in the car—ihe cord was cut, and in a few moments he was wafted to the regions of air, amid the cheers of the multitude, and the best wishes of his friends for his speedy and safe return. Mhe halloon took nearly a due east course, end was visible for nearly an hour alter the as cension. We have since learned that Mr. Mills landed near Columbia in safety.[Her. MEXICO.—The government of this fine country has been again completely revolu tionised. The federal system has been aban doned for the central or consolidated form. The Supreme power is vested in a Dictator for lile,(SantagAnna) from whom hereafter all laws must emanate. The change, it is said, is generally acceptable to the people, who (honest souls!) we doubt not grew weary of the labour and drudgery of legislation, and like their demicracked bretheren nearer home rejoiced to throw the •sole responsibil ity" of government upon the shoulders of theircheif. The art of"simptifying"govern ment it seems; is not indigenous to our soil. [Lancaster Union.

We wish the "Messenger" success and recommend' it to the encouragement ol Christiana of all denominations: The "MESSENGER," a religious paper which has forsometune been published semi monthly at York, by the board of Missions of the German Reformed Church, has been stopped,and the first number of the " Weekly Messenger," destaed as a specimen, was issued in this Borough last Week, (from the press of Mr. Pritts,) to which place the fu ture publication has been transferred by the Board of Missions. The "Weekly Messen ger" is printed on an extra imperial sheet, and edited by the Rev. Mr. BENJAMIN SEGNECK, at $2, if paid in advance, and 2.50 if paid during the year—the profits to be applied to missionary purposes. It is to contain "a summary of all the interesting religious movements of the day throughout the church, and all necessary information relative to foreign affairs, domestic intelli gence, &c." We have no doubt it will mer it the patronage of the members of the Church whose interests it is especially do signed to promote.--Frank/in Repository. rm. have seen with regret, the course put. sued for the last few months by that able paper, tho "Boston Advocate." Does Mr. Elsm.Err sup pose that he can transfer the Anti-Masonic party to Van Buren, or indeed to any other than an All ti.Masonic candidate? Ho need be under no ap prehension that the Anti-Masons will go for White. And his efforts will be just as fruitless to pursued° them to go Tor the New York Corruptor. Anti- Masonry,in due time,will nominate a candidate of its own, and support him. If Pennsylvania and Vermont should be loft alone to do it, it will nev ertheless be done,and done inearnest. Why need we choose between the candidates ofother parties, when we have our Adams, McLean, Harrison, Everett, Granger, Spencer and others? We should be sorry to rank Mr. Hallett with the treacherous Wood, time.seiving Merrick, and fallen Rush.— But even rfhe should desert, the cause will flour ish. The honest yeomanry originated it, and will carry it through.

Every man who comes out and states that ho is not for Wolf; lie copies, and cries out, "make way for the Parsonites!"

All the other Whig papers of the Stato except two, we believe, are supporting the Washington County Far mer. We suppose the two alluded to (Franklin Re pository, and Adams Sentinel,) will also soon break ground for one of Van Buren's pets! rm..

The Muhlics held a meeting at the house of that miscellaneous politician, A. B. Kurtz,on Friday evening last. Nobody attended but federal lawyers, discharged officers, and anti-school misers! It was a miserable failure! Not a single Farmer was present! The Wo!flea held their pow-wow at the Court house on Saturday last. It was made up of Masonic Whigs and Tories mixed! The chairman was a Ma son, both the secretaries Masons, and half the others or more were Masons! They are right in suppor ting Wolf, whether they be Whigs or Tories, for they are under oath to do it. We can excuse them. But we sec no excuse—no palliation for those Whigs who are not Masons, for supporting either Wolf or Muhlenbcrg. The great point of their creed is Anti- Van Burunism— and yet they take the sure means of electing him, by supporting Van Buren candidates for Governor! Can such inconsistent men claim to be both honest and intelligent' Ritner's vote in this county will be 1,000 over the highest Masonic candidate!

It will astound the Lodge and the Peculators! O::THEAR AN OPPONENT! 00-The Muhlenberg paper of Philadelphia, (the Democratic Herald,) in an article headed "The Man who villa. be elected," says—" The vindictive and bit ter virulence with which the friends of Mr. Wolf e lectioneer against Mr. Ritner proves hith conclusively to be the strongest candidate in the field; and the man who will be the next Governor," and that the Peo ple "declare that they have full faith in his old De mocracy; and that he has no committal with the City factions thalcan derogate from his Republican princi ples as a friend to the People—to Equal Rights—and a pure administration of the Government." Err Tho following paragraph is taken filom the "Lexington (Ky.) Reporter." What a contrast there is between the course of Mr. RITNER, of Pennsylvania, who is the Anti-Masonic Candidate for Gov ernor of that State,in the late wnr,'and that of Col. R. M. Johnson, the Van Buren Can didate for Vice President of the United States. At the first sound of the tocin of War in 1812, Mr. Ritner girded on his knap sack & marched to the tented field as a pri. vale soldier, while Colonel Johnson waited until Congress made him Colonel of a moun ted Regiment, and gave him the appointment of all the field and stafrOfficers. How great we say is the contrast between the conduct of these two persons, and how d;flerent the motives which actuated them! and how great the difference between the reward that has been meted out to them by the One is to be elevated (if hunzbuggery can do it,)to the Vice Presidency of the U. S. while the other is sought to be degraded by some of the Pennsylvania Aristocrats, (who have perhaps grown rich upon the 'spoils' of the Government,) because he was detached by his commander in Chief to drive one of the provision or baggage wagons a few days or a few weeks, and obeyed the order! SPECIMENS OF WESTERN PUNISH- REEDITS! 117 From the following paragraphs it would seem that there is no other adequate punishment in the West, than the infliction of "Lynch Law!" SUMMARY PUNISHMENT.-A fellow, nam ed Coleman, a tenant of two Penitentiaries, attempted violence upon a little girl about nine years old, at Louisville, Ky. on the 10th inst. A number of citizens who felt highly indignant at the atrocity of the act, escorted him to a suitable place after night, and inflicted on him two or three hundred lashes; they afterwards washed him off with spirits of turpentine, gave him a suit of tar and feathers, and turned him loose, with orders to leave the city immediately. THE WAY THEY DO THINGS IN JEFFER SON Cot•NTY.—Warwick, the murderer of Mr. Fisk, an aged man, both inoffensive and harmless, was tried this week at Fay ette. On account of some technicalities of the law failing to be observed, the prisoner was discharged. He had no sooner, howe ver, emerged from the court-house, than ho was stripped of his clothing, and a plentiful coat of tar and feathers applied to him.— He was afterwards whipped until almost insensible to pain; and to restore his failing senses, we understand a large quantity of spirits of turpentine was poured upon him. In this situation' he was mounted upon a rail, and carried through the streets of the town, amid the shouts of the multitude. It is said that during the execution of .Judge Lynch's sentence, the culprit frequently begged to be shot, but was told that such a death was too easy tor him. When the vengeance of the multitude had been fully wreaked upon him, he was furnished with money sufficient to carry him beyond the limits of the'State, with the injunction that in five hours from the time of his release he must be beyond the reach of those who were again ready to repeat the dose he had already received TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.--A den of Gamblers in Vicksburg, (Tenn.) having long been obnoxious to the citizens, they were "refused permission (says the N. Orleans American) to participate in the celebration of the . Fourth ofJuly—whereupon they be: insolent, and notice was given to them by the citizens to leave the place. This they disregarded, and remained. Two of them, in consequence, were taken and made to go through the ceremony of tarring and feath ering, so yell known and so often practised in the west. These two left the place, but the others, five in number,armed themselves, and wade a fortress'of their estaWishinent, nce, Kammlure, Science, to which the citizens repaired, and after hav ing fOrced the doors,rushed in. Dr. Godley, the first person who entered, received eleven balls through his body and fell dead instant ly. The death of the Doctor excited the people to the highest degree of wrath; and, having seized, the gamblers, they lost no time in hanging the whole jive, who remain ed suspended twenty-four hours." 10-The Vicksburg Register gives what purports to be a correct detailed account of the above matter. It states that for years past Vicksburg has been made a place of rendezvous by "Prqfessional Gamblers, des titute of all sense of moral obligations"—who, "in the very bosom of society, boldly plotted their vile and lawless machinations;" that the laws of the country were found ineffectual for their adequate punishment —in consequence of which, every species of transgres sion were practised by them. They supported tip piing houses, decoyed the youthful and unsuspecting into their snares, and after stripping them of theirpos- sessions, sent them forth into the world the ready and desperate instruments of vice! "Our streets (says the Register) every where resounded with the echoes of their drunken and obscene mirth, and no citizen' was secure from their villain!" Actuated with such a spir it, they forced themselves upon a party of the citizens celebrating the 9th of July—became disorderly, and when order was attempted to be enforced, one of the Gamblers insulted one of the officers and struck one of the citizens. This roused the indignation of the company, but through the intercession of the Captain the Gamblers were allowed to escape unharmed.— He however armed himself and threatened to kill one of the volunteers, but was arrested, and "Lynched!' that is, "tied to a tree, punished with stripes, tarred and feathered," and ordered to leave Vicksburg in 48 hours. The citizens, after the above occurrences, met in the evening and passed resolutions, warning "all Pro fessional Gamblers to leave the place in twenty-four hours," and cautioning all persons not to perma,"faro dealing in their houses," under pain of being prosecu ted therefor." A portion left the place on the next day. On Monday morning the military corps, assis ted by several hundred citizens, took Measures for carrying the above resolutions into effect—which re sulted in the capture of the ringleader, and four of the gang, who were immediately executed in the presence of the multitude! The Register thus concludes its statement:— It is not expected that this act will pass with out censure from those who had not an opportu nity of knowing and feeling the dire necessity out of which it originated. The laws, however severe in their provision, have never been suffi cient to correct a vice which must be established by positive proof, and cannot, like others,bo shown from circumstantial testimony. It is practiced, too, by individuals whose whole Muth , is to violate the law in such a manner an to evade its punish ment, and who never are in want of secret con federates to swear them out of their difficulties, whose oaths cannot be impeached for any specific cause. We had Mtn° with their enormities, un til to have suffered them any longer would not only have proved us to bo destitute of every manly sentiment, but would also have implicated us in the guilt of accessories to their crimes. Society may be compared to the elements,which, although "order is their that law, " can sometimes be puri fied only by a storm. Whatever, therefore, sick ly sensibility, or mawish philanthrophy may say against the course pursued by us, we hope that our citizens will not relax the code of punishment which they have enacted against this infamous, unprincipled, and baleful class of society—and we invite Natchez, Jackson, Columbus, Warren. ton, and all our sister towns throughout the state is the name of our insulted laws—of offended virtue - , and of slaughtered innocence, to aid us in: exterminating this deeprooted vice from our land. The Revolution has been conducted hero by the most respectable citizens, head of families, mem bers of all classes, professions and pursuits.— None have been heard to utter a syllable of cen sure against ()lifter the act or the manner in which it was performed. An Anti-Gambling Society has been formed, the members of which have pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honors, for the suppression of gambling; and the punishment and expulsion of gamblers. And, so far as we know, public opinion, both in town and country, is decidedly in favor of the course pursued. Wo have never known the pub lic so unanimous on any subject. It was reported at Cincinnati on the 23d ult. that 18 more of the Gambling Crew had been taken and were awaiting execution, at Madison, (Mississippi,) "under the same laws as those put in force at Vicks burg!" THADDEUS STEVENS.-M r. Stevens, a member of the legislature from Adams coun ty, and one of the most eloquent men in Pennsylvania, participated in the Fourth of July celebration at Pittsburg, and delivered a powerful address on the occasion. [Philadelphia Inquirer. CHIEF •JUSTICE MAnsfrALL.—The death of this eminent man seems to have excited a universal feeling of regret throughout the country. The expressions of deep-felt at tachment and veneration for his memory are not less universal among the people, wherever there is a public sentiment. The Bar of Boston, we observe, have designated DANIEL WEBSTER, to pronounce the Eulo gy upon the late Chief Justice. It will be at once accorded that there is a fitness of things, as far as may be, in the designation of Mr. WEBSTER to such a task. Would that there may be equal fitness in the desig. nation of a successor to the office held by the illustrious dead? That were, indeed, a consummation devoutly to be wished.— Balt. Patriot.

"First in War, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his Countrymen." Judge Marshall was not the author of this celebrated phrase—Gen. Henry Lee is en titled to the credit of it—the same eminent person that was appointed by Congress, ►n pursuance of their resolutions, to deliver an eulogy on Washington. Judge Marshall himself, in his life of Washington, states the fact that Gen. Leo drafted the resolution containing the phrase,and that he(Judge M.) offered the resolution in Congress, on ac count of the occasional absence of Gen. Lee from his seat. This explains the common mistake. rieulture, the Mechanic 4lrt THE HARVEST.—As far as our own ob servation extends, and the accounts receiv ed from those competent to judge, we be lieve we may safely assert that the crops this season will yield their usual average in our neighborhood.

The corn, though backward in growth, is healthy in appearance, and we think the late rains, if succeeded by warm weather,will improve it considerably. The hay harvest has been abundant.—Han. Her.
