We sail all that wo then felt fled in saying. Although We had taken an newly report °kilo proceedings in couri, we del not. it.om it proper then to •go into detail, inasmuch as there will be future Action of the court in tho prem:ses, and publications retntive to pending eases are objectionable on many accounts. [lnt the one sided and unjustificable course taken by the last "Pennsylvania Reporter," in glv. ing a garbled and party colored statement of the transactions, has put an entiro new face on the matter; and accordingly, to rightly inform the public mind abroad, we publish in our subsequent columns a full, fair and candid account of the proceedings, to which we invite the serious attention of our readers. This case is one of the most impnrtant in the joilicial annals ni Penns) Ivania or of the UM' ed States,and hence the necessity of ant only stating the truth concerning it at present, but of leaving to those who shall come after us a correct history of it in all its bearings This we had done up to the finding of the bill of indictment by the Grand July at the January sessions of our court, (which bill was published in our paper of Jan. kith,) and we now continue the narrative, which must be painful to the feelings of every patriot, as the very base of it is laid in ono of the most outrageous violations of law and order over known in this or any other country. Although the conspirators have secured a respite for a few months, by the force of legal quibbles and ingenious but contempti ble subtleties, their escape is only tempera ry. The friends of the constitution & laws throughout the Commonwealth may rest assured that the dilate to bring to condign punishment the men who have so fearfully assailed her peace and dignity, will not be relaxed, but that the GUILTY will in all pro bability meet the reward of their heinous offences. The evidence against certain in dividuals is strong 'as proof of [llly Writ,' and if they do not feel the justice of the laws they have violated, it will not be be cause they do not deserve it, but because those laws are powerless to avenge their assailants. Our opinions have long since been made up as to the guilt of those involved in the present prosecution. We know them to be guilty not only of brutal riot, but of 7 REASON, if the terms of our laws mean anything / With our own eycs we saw them revelling in unrestrained licen tiousness in the Halls of the Legislature, after having driven out that body, and with our own ears we heard their treasonable de. clarations ; and the fact of their having erected a government within a government —an zmperium in imper►o—is before the world ; not denied, but avowed by them. selves. We understand that these offences with all be embraced in the bill or bills which will be sent'up to the Grand Jury' •at ti,e August sessions, and for this reason we rather rejoice than regret that the late bill was quashed.

WEED PDAIDIE9.--In Texas, there are extensive prairies known as Weed Prairies, where nothing but rank weeds instead of grass grow to 15 feel high. Russian lorests. A modern traveller states that a vast portion of the soil in the northern provinces of Russia, is uncultivated—the land being covered with almost interminable forests. The boundless extent of wood, with which Russia is covered, may be inferred from the condition of one Government alone, in which of 50,000 000 of acres, its whole extent, 47,000,000 consists exclusively of of forests. According to an estimate made in 1809, which referred only to the North of Russia, these forests appear to contain no less than 8.192,295 pine trees, fit for to be masts, each being thirty inches in diameter. The accuracy of this estimate has since been confirmed by actual survey, in the course of which it has been ascer tained that in tho three northern govern- ments en Vologna, A rchanged and Ohnutz there are 216,000,000 of pine and fir.— Boston Journal. LACE MADE BY CATERPILLARS A curions species of manufacture has been contrived by an officer of engineers residing at Munch. It consist of lace and veils, with open patterns in them, made en tirely by caterpillars. The following is the mode of proceeding adopted :—Having made a paste of the leaves of the plant on which the species of caterpillar he employs feeds, he spread' it thinly over a stone, or other flat substance of the required size He then, with a camels hair pencil dipped in oil, draws the patterns he wishes the in sect to leave open. This stone is placed in an inclined position, and a considerhle number of caterpillars aro placed at the bottom, eating and spinning their way to the top, carefully avoiding every part touched by the oil, but devouring every part of the paste. The extreme lightness of these veils, combined with some strength, is truly surprising. One of them, measu ring 284 by 18 17 inches weighed only a grain and a half, a degree of lightness which will appear more strongly by con trast with other fabrics. One square yard of the substance of which these veils are made weighs 44 grains, whilst one square yard of silk weighs. 137 grains, and one square yard of the finest net weighs 2824 grains.—Foreign paper.

The spacious room was crowded to excess; and the solemnity of the Bench, consulting upon some topic of judgment, indicated that they wet a about to execute an important and un pleasant duty. In the midst of the concourse of lawyers anq gentlemen within the bar, sat an elderly man, about 50, of genteelapnea. ranee. He was about to be sentenced to an ignomnious punishment. His face intima ted to the observer, that recollections ofhis home, and his large family, were darkly and deeply penciling an additional agony on his heart, and ploughing a new furrow into hie forehead. He woe of classical education, and that al. ways refines the feelings; fat he was induced to enter upon the delicate and dangerous business of dealing with life and death, and he realized that the brilliant scholar was incapable of catching the healing art by in tuition. A young and erring girl fell In his hand, and the law tilled it murder; hie plea of professional duty, and of tender care for her reputation availed not; he had done an unlawful act, mid the inflexible com mentary ofthe law gave to the act the aspect of the highest penal tofflonce.

We are informed that there has not been A SINGLE bid for the fee hundred and eighty thousand dollar Loan authorised late in the last session of the Legislature, and which has been advertised in the loco foco journals for some weeks, the time hay ing expired on the 25th of April.—What will become of us it is impossible to con jecture. On the first of January last, a debt of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars became due, which was contracted under Gov. Shultz, on the 30th of March 1521 ; and on the first day of the present month a debt of three hundred and eighty thousand dollars became due, contracted in the same year, the principal or interest of either of which have not been paid. Surely, the credit of the Commonwealth is in a firm plight, unable to pay a debt of $OOO,- 000 !! ! Out of money, and her credit so low as to be unable to borrow it to pay off this petty sum ! We see no other remedy for the State than to take the benefit, and as the Gover nor has had some practice in the business, and given evidence that he is fully comPts tent to the undertaking, we think it would not bo amiss if he would endeavor to pay cffsorne of the old scores in the way he was wont to do in days gone by.

The Libel Case. We understand that Mr. Sage, the dem ocratic Editor in Allentown Lehigh coon. ty, who was prosecuted by Gov. Porter for a libel, has been found guilty.

The exalted patriotism and noble char. actor of our late Executive, are themes upon which every lover of his country de lights to dwell. Mr. Stevens was prevented by indisposition from attending alter pro ceeding as far as Shippensburg for the pur pose of being present. MY FHINIIDS :—The welcome that has been extended to me adds very much to the pleasure I feel in resuming the pursuits and avocations of my former lift, among my es ' teemed friends and acquaintances of West Pennsborough township. It is a subject of sincere joy to me that the changes in my condition of the last three years have re• stilted in placing me so near the spot from which I started, an obscure individual about thirty-four years ago. During these thirty four years, I have seen life in almost every condition as it exists amongst us; and I have learned that no event is more agreeable than the warm and cordial greetings of old and esteemed friends. To a public man when his task is done, and when the absence of power leaves him wholy on the ground of his merits and char. acter,or upon the partiality and at'achment of early and warm friends, a reception and welcome ouch as are now• offered, give rise to emotions that I cannot express. Know. ing my own want of merit I attrihute this most agreeable event to your friendship,and in return can only WIN', that, a life of toil and exertion in the public service would be well repaid by one hour such as I now en• •ev. You have been pleased to advert to my public servisee. I lay claim to no praise in regard to them other than that of devoting all my time and energies, to the discharge of the duties assigned me, and having been nt all times end in every instance, guided in my conduct by a single desire to promote the common good, and the honor and pros. parity of my native state.. There has not been en executive term since the Revolution, within which so many embarrasing and perplexing questions arose as during that, which terminated in January last. But my friends through the mercy and guidance of an alwise God these were all met and disposed of in such a manner as enables me to look back upon that part of my life, with an unchanged confidence, that the future will do the pas justice, and that my children and friends will not have cause to regret the existence of ono line of rho history of Pennsylvania, with which the name of their father or their friend, is con nected. 'rho events with which my life as chic magistrate of the State are connected, are so recent, that it will not be expected that I should dwell upon them in detail. And the administration of my successor is too new, to require at my hands an exposition of the principles and measurers, upon which ho commenced it. , My ardent and sincere prayer for the dtate, ia, that the present executive may have a more quiet term than mine; and that when retired from the difficult seat he oc cupies, the Commonwealth may be prosper• ous, and he feels the same peace of mind that now accompame me to the plough. 1 will not detain you longer my friends than to offer in return for your sentiment, One, that seems to me appropriate for the occasion. The Political Plough---Every good cit izen should deem it his duty to keep it going. Let it not be thrown by in disgust, and a bandoned to rust and decay because one crop has failed,and weeds and cheat, instead of wheat, erring up from the furrow. Try it again, Turn down the cheat and nox ious weeds, and a more rich and abundant harvest will be your reward. The committee of arrangement then re. ported the following toasts : Joseph Ritner, the Cincinatus of Penn. sylvanin—he left the plough to save the Commonwealth, and when the task was et. rented, being repaid with ingratitude, slan der, and threatened assaeffination, he return• ed to the plough. Penrose. Stevens, and Burrower—Their splendid talents, exerted in t defence of our constitution, laws and legislative rights, have drawn up their heads the anathemas of a turbulent, corrupt, and desperate party., When this toast was read, Mr. Ritner arose and appologized for the absence of Mr. Burrowes, stating that he had received a letter from that gentleman, informing him that private business, over which he had no control, would prevent him from being pres ent on the occasion. Mr. Ritner spoke highly of the character of Mr. Burrowes, that he knew him well—that they had been intimately connected together in business— he knew hie worth, and pronounced him to bo one of the best citizens Pennsylvania ever had. He thanked the meeting for the manner in which they had noticed Mr. Burrower. To the Zile. The following paragraph from an admin. titration journal, the V ickaburg (Miss.) Sen. tinel, we commend to the attention of the pure Loco Focos in this quarter, who may desire to learn the opinion that is entertain• od of Woodbury and Kendall among the administration chilalry of the south. We support Mr. Van Buren and will use all our ability to enable him to carry out the sub•treasury and the bold and manly principle which he and his party now un swervingly advocate. But we must soy that one or two of his cabinet advisers ought to be in the Penitentiary, instead of holding vosts of trust and honor at Washington. .Otie is stupid and more than one perfectly rotten. If it be true, as we have reasnn to suspect, that they have sold their official in fluence to some of those pastor) and New York land contranies for a certain portion ofthe spoils, they ought to he dismissed at lenst.

Cooper, 0:7 - Poe, Parker & Co. of the Baltimore Chronicle display the most culpable ignor arce and lack of brains, in relation to the affairs of our Commonwealth, by supposing the people of Gettysburg are so easily humbugged. Tho truth is Neilson, your connection with the institution that binds its votaries to support a brother "right or wrong" is the reason and the only reason of yonr haired and abuse of Mr. STEVENS, and you cant deny it. But prate on, Loco Foco like, probably they will give you some cred. it for your gross misrepresentations. 7.The "Compiler" pities us, because we occasionally set forth in their true colors the infamous course of conduct pursued by some of the prominent leaders of their party. While at the same time it professes to scorn such a way of dealing, and is determined not to pursue such a course ; we wish this to be marked, and let the result show the amount of confidence to be placed in that veritable sheet ; we would merely suggest that a great change of late must have "come over the spirit of its young dream, ' it it succeeds in convincing its readers that de• famation of private character has ceased to be its prerogative. When we spoke of the little fellow who "ruled its destinies" we had no reference to the size of his body cor porate, we merely referred . to the quantum of his brains, to the moiety of his intellect, nothing else. We assure him if he is so "unfortunate" as to meet our lordship in the btreet we will have the goodness to let him pass unmolested, dont be afraid. \Ve would also advise him to save those tears he talks so pathetically about shedding for us, until next fall two years, again that time if his "head were waters and his eyes fountains of tears" he will need them all to "shed for the slain of his riople." Ile has made a wilful perversion of our true . meaning in as serting that we said tho insertion of the name of McElwee, instead of our own was a small mistake, we said no such thing, and he well knows it, however, mach credit his friends may give him for such a pitiful sub terfuge. .We stated that the mistake con sisted in McElwee being bitten by the still worm inatead.of a mad dog. We hope he will stick to the truth hereafter. The Col's friends need not be under any apprehensions about his immediate safety, he has been bitten so often, that the nutritious substance upon which .he exists will be sufficient to keep hilnabette ... ground awhile longer at least. 'His frienderinty reasonably indulge a hope of seeing him again for aught we know to the contrary ; if they can find the place of his location, and make their way to the nearest tavern they will find him plead ing at the bar from three o'clock in the of ternoon until twelve at night.

On Wednesday last, being the first day on which at quorum was present in the Leg islature since its meeting, Tuannens STE , YENS, Esquire, ono of the Representatives of this County was announced as being pres ent, and ready to be qualified as a member of the [muse. When this announcement was made, NlcElwee, a member from Bedford county. one of the most abandoned ecoundrels, that ever disgraced humanity, rose and offered a Preamble and Resolution, to exclude Mr. Stevens from a !seat in the Blouse. This worn nut, and almost putred debauchee from Bedford, who disgraces. alike, his constit uents, the State and huMan nature, then went on to support his resolution, in a strain of the inost brutal vulgarity, that was ever listened to. The whole annals, of the low. est billingsgate of the vilest Brothels, in which this wretch has schooled himself for fears,eibibit nothing more shocking to de cency than the tirade which he uttered. This le i the same foul creature, who two or three weeks gone by, was seen of a morn ing, vomiting about the streets of our Bor ough, alter his debauches of the preceding nights! But why do we speak of this mass of moral and physical corruption 1 Why do we lose sight of the violation of the Consti tution and the Laws, practiced against our rights, by refusing our Representative his seat 7 Why do we forget that when such , usurpation and ty rant/ are praeticed„"that the end is nigh 1" Who atter this will speak of a Republi can or Representative form of Government r fle that does, will use unmeaning and vain , terms'?

We add the following from the Harrisburg Chroniole: The first thing which came up, was a, motion to admit and swear Thaddeus Ste vens, Esq. as a member from Adams coun ty, who,as we last week predicted, has com plied with tho wishes of his constituents to take his seat. But, strange to say, the motion was objected to by the loco locos, and a resolution as a substitute, to appoint a committee to enquire ;what his claims to -a seat are 1 We opine the people of Adams county will tell these lawless rebels what ar• Mr. S's claims to a seat. Thomas B. M'Elwee of Bedford, the bloodhound, and filth-sewer of the loco foco portion of the House, offered this ridiculous resolution, and backed it with a string of written reason against the private and moral character of Mr. Stevens, which for vul garity, dirty obsceneness and low scurrilous blackguardism, we have never seen or heard equallod, and we much doubt whether ever any body else did. Tho cheek of every virtuous and modest member was mantled with blushes at the vile obsceneness of the reasonings of this loco foco rowdy from Bedford. Think of it, reader, THOMAS B. WEL W EE, the member from Bedlordf charge other persona with moral improprie ties 1 1 A man, notorious in all the walks of life for his depravity ; whose whole private life is one scene of debauchery, drtinkenness and moral delinquency, and HE charge others with misconduct in pi i vate life !1 Such an one, too, as Mr. Ste vens, whose virtuous deeds, have made!rim one of the most beloved and esteemed it private life, in hie own neighborhood.

Fellow citizens; it has become our duty to in. form you, that your rights, es citizens or this Commonwealth are to be wrested from you, by the lawless mob, sitting in the State Capitol, and styling itself the Legislature ! Your representative, Mr. Stevens, elected by a majority, or 1 431 rates, over his highest op ponent. has been refuted his seat. It is not, et Mr. Stevens that this blow is struck ; it is at you, his constituents—at the...people of Adams County —at the rights of every man in the Common wealth, except those of the desperadoes, who have committed this outrage and treason, egainst the Coastitution,the Laws; and the rights of the people.

It is in vain; the traitors and anarchists, who now rule Pennsylvania * despise it. and trample it under their feet 1 For u■ the Ltwe air ed no re medial power! What shall we do ! What steps shall we take ! Let the people MEET as speedil, es possible let them consult together and determine what behoves them to do I 1 :10 . - Mr. Kcttlewell again on Saturday Net. the 11th inst. announced the presence of Mr. Stevens, ready to take the necessary qualifications to be come a member of the Legislature ; thereupon a motion was made by Mr. Snowden. that the ques tion of the admission of Mr. Stevens be postponed for the present, and that a committee of flys be appointed to examine whether he has not forfeited his right as a member.

We can only ray that the gentlemen who have been nominated', as delegates, have been, rather More consistent ia'thcir Whig principles, than the gentleman bleiselt. Mr. M'Conaughy has always been a Whig and both ing else; always opposing Jackson and Van Hu. nen. since he has had a vote.

Thonaas B. i.,7l9Elwee. i The individual whose name heads this article, . is the person, who was selected by the mob o Loco Focn ruffians, in the Legislature of Pennsyl- I'anis, to abuse Mr. Stevens, whose mouth wee gagged, and to charge upon him acts of moral de. linqueney. This man, this M'Elwee, a wretch 1 festering and almost putrid, from the effects of 1 -drunkenness and lewdness; a creature, whose very appearance produces loathing in the behold. er, and who resembles more, • corpse, approach ing that state, when it invites the presence of the foul, creeping worm that consumes it, than a he ; ing man,—this man—if we may so dignify so foul en of selected to preach upon the necessity of morality in Legislators ! !

This county is to hero no voice in the Legis lation of this Commonwealth. Its representative, )Tr. Stevens, is to be excluded ; its people are to be trampled upon, and deprived of their rights. Ibecause they did not cast their vows for David R. Porter. that personification of vice and infamy. who at once, governs and disgraces Pannsy This last measure of high handed tyranny—we mean the exclusion of Mr. Stevens from his seat— is the moat outrageous of all the acts, committed. by that offspring of the Harrisburg mob, the so styled noose of Representatives of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania. These treasonable foctionisto, have not even the show of plausibility, for their violation of the tights of the people of this county. k to the .most flagrant, and at the same time the most naked 'and wicked act of aggression, ever perpetrated by lawless tyrants against the rights of any people, To any other country under the sun, it would pro •duee revolutiomsnd caddie aggressors their heeds May Godhasten the approach of better times, than thesis in which we now live ! For if these things continue—even hero—the people will.grow .tired of t.deratimg them. and will resort tothe only means of redress in their power—redress by forco. 'There has bean several fires in Har risburg withil a few week., occasioning the destruction of property to a civaidnrable amount. o:7•The County Committee, it will he seen, have called a meeting, to bo held on, FRIDAY next at I o'clook, at. the Court House; in the Bor ough of Gettyiburg. We say to our_ friends. let one end all attend. Let every friend of the Con. stitution and Laws attend—no matter Ishtar may have been his politics heretofore. The crisis is & n e of fearful magnitude—not the triumph of this party, or that Tarty—but the question is presented, is Republican, Representative Govern ment to be at an end ? The vitol principle of Republican Democracy, is forever destroyed, if the conduct of the tr ranni cal mob, in the Legislature, ho not condemned. ft will ho death blow to Itherty, which cannot survive the destruction, of this, right of represen tation, its life principle. Come, all then and unite in your endeavor. to check the march of the odious tyranny which has been practised. Shocking Event On Satu•day last, Mr. PETER MARSHALL, of Berwick township, went out with his gun, for the purpose, as he said, of shooting birds. A short time afterwards, he sent home a lad to request his wife to come to hint. She, surprised at the message; hurried nut; and when a short distance from him, htard the report of his gun. On arriving at the snot, she found him on the ground (lead, the load having passed through his head. lie was about 50 or 60 years of age ; and we under stand had been in an unhappy state of mind, occasionally.—.

Dear Sir—Mr. KettLowell again this morning announced the presence of Mr. Stevens, and at his request, and on behalf of his constituents, demanded the Speaker to administer to him the official oath agreeably to the constitution and Laws. This motion brought up a question of order, and offer having been argued, it was finally decided that the motion was in order, and a motion was made to postpone for the present the admission of Mr. Stevens, and on calling the yeas and nays, the yeas were 48, nays 30, consequently the postponement prevailed. The resolution to appniet—a coravaittee was not taken into consideration to-day, nor will it be until a motion is made to consider the one made this morning to admit him. The great object no doubt is to prevent him Irons taking . , his seat in the House, which I fear they will succeed. If there is one circumstance in ckistence, to elevate Mr. Stevens in the opinion of the citizens of Pennsylvania it will be found in the proceedings of the Legislature. The Censtritutton, the Laws, and the right of suffrage all prostituted, to gratify a path' that fear hie talents.

Dear Sir—The mob House have not yet ad mitted Mr. Steven. ; they seem afraid of-him, a base conspiracy against him has been discovered, in which five men in your town were concerned, through the winter, two masons end three jacks. They imposed on a poor old man, to aid them, which accounts for certain proceedirgi in your county during the winter ; all will be brought to light in duo time. T. C. Miller was heard to say last evening, ' , now is the time, don't let him es cape ; I think if he is hard pressed now we can break down the D---d rascal and the party." Such ta the reckless villany of these scoundrels ! Fraud, Treason and Perjury are their weapons to "break down" all, who are dangerous to them ! Your Aids° M'Clean who ht. been hanging about here for two weeks for a clerkship, has been dia. appointed, as is understood. But it is said that they are about to establish a Collector'. larffice on the Gettysburg rail road for him I From the Philadelphia Evening Star. •The letter of morning informed you of the doings in the House. You were dountless not a little satoni.lied•to hear, of this new Loco Rico manoeuvre. It is, however, of a piece with the tactics of the Globe mid the Fitly of which that vile re. eaptaele of pollution is the exponent. They single out bright marks for detrusioa, and the whole pack of blood hounds set updn him and hunt him down. Such was their course with Tallmadge, Rives and other distingiiislied men. Such is their caucus determination in reference to Mr. STEVENS. But what most astonishes me in this particu lar instance is that they should fix upon the maniac M'Etwee to head the crusade This miserable inebriate, a locomotive tat personation of moral depravity and degra dation, was the last man in the party that snould have been designated to lead an ern• prise of so much delicacy—How this mass of putrefaction could have the effrontery and audacity to rise in his place and prefer charges of moral obliquity against Mr. S. when ho himself bears upon his forehead, strongly marked in every lineament of his distorted countenance, the characteristics of beastliness and profligacy, is the marvel with me, as it is with all who are conver• sant with the facts I This last scene in the grand drama of Loco Foco absurdities end monstrosities, hes excited on ell hands un. feigned astonishment and even the bitterest enemies of Mr. STEVENS are heard to con demn it in terms of unmitigated severity. It is an outrage so fligrant as to lack even ono extenuating feature to palliate its enormity. It is a matter of general -notoriety, that M'ELwEE has made ship wreck of his domestic happiness, and em bittered the existence of an amiable wife, than which no crime of blacker turpitude disgraces the annals of civilized society. Even now his habits are revolting; his days, weeks, months, and years—in short his whole life presents a revolting picture of human depravity. And it is this man who was sineled from the motley ranks of the Loco Focos to arraign at the bar of the House, and to hold up to the public gaze TRAM:MN STEVENS, whose name is lisped by iotants throughout the lenght and breath of the land in accents of gratitude I whose well-directed benevolence and superabound ing goodness of heart has endeared him to the poor and the afflicted whereaver he is , known. And where is he not known I—and whore shall we go that we will not find the story of his greatness and goodness fresh in the recollections of a numerous train of beneficiaries upon his bounty 7 Mr. CUNNINGHAM, of Mercer, essayed his defence in a manner alike creditable to his head and heart. I did not hear his re marks, but am told they were pertinent, lurid and terrible. Messrs. Crabb and Fisher also spoke in his defence and acquit ted themselves with great credit. MR. LAFFERTY, of Clearfield county, showed himself, in this instance, a man of refined feelinge, and great goodness of heart. The conspiracy was formed by the refuse of his party to assassinate Mr. Stevens' repu tation. He was startled at the audacity of the attempt, and expressed himself m terms of indignation. MR. BUTLER, of Luzeine, I am told elan showed painful evidences of mental disquietude and compunctions of conscience. Such acts are naturally enough calculated to 'verde men unschooled in crime, and unused to prodigious acts of political rascality. Such men as Pray think nothing of butchering private charac ter, and-by tar the larger portion of the loco focos that compose the present Hooste•ase, but a shade removed from the gintleman from the county, in point of breeding, erhi• Milieu and morals. A case to my purpose ?resents itself which I will endenvrr to at ria of its more disgusting features, and furnish it to your renders as illustrative of my po• sition. Had you beet, in the neighborhood of the Arsenal about 5 o'clock, yesterday afternoon, you would have beheld a sight calculated to call the blush to your cheek more than any thing that has come under your notice for a long time. You would there have beheld a member of the House of Representatives, one of the identical im maculates who feign to be so horrified at the moral defects in the character of Mr. Ste venv—trallowing in his own filth, so beast ly intox cited as to be incapable of action or locomotion. lie was found in this con dition by a member from the city, whose kindness of heart prompted him to lead the miserable creature a hand to help him to his lodgings. So completely stupified and entirely insensible to all shame, was this loco foco solon, as to lie wallowing in n state of partial nudity—a spectacle for the finger of scorn to point at This precious speci men of loco foco beastiality sit in judgment upon Mr. Stevens! he and his compeers prate of morality, propriety and so forth I Miserable trixters—shameless, graceless hypocrites! let them commence the work of a'-lution with Heston—of purgation with McElwee—civilization with Pray Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Explosion at Hancock, slid Extract of a letter, dated HANCOCK, May 2, 1839. Last evening, about A o'clock, we were suddenly alarmed by a tremerdousexplosion that shook the whole building terribly, and moon we ascertained that Daniel Rush's store had, been blown to atoms. ' The old part is completely demolished, lied the new part, which has just been fitted up for a dwelling, is so shattered that it will doubt. less have to be taken down. His goods are so much damaged by fire, water and dirt, that they will scarcely bring more than one fourth of their value ; but all this is nothing, when compared to the human suffering that has resulted from the explosion. There were fourteen persons in the build• ing at the time, tux of whom were danger• molly wounded—some with logs, others , with arms broken, and all with their faces ' scarified in a shocking manner. Daniel Rush and two journeyman ahoerrakere era not expected to live. Three of Daniel's children are among those seriously injured; but the youngest child miraculously escaped ' unhurt. It was in the cradle, and those who first arrived at tho scene of ruin and distress, saw its little bands-above the .rnb• bish, and on removing the fallen timber,they found that the cradle had preserved the child from being crusted to death. Mrs. Rush, Daniell father and mother, John Craig, Murphy Pool, Mr. Kingely and son, are all more nr less injured. Every body seems to be in a state of gloomy amaze-. ment—wonder, curiosity and astonishment prevail—numberless conjectures as to the cause of the explosion are afloat, but noth ing definite in relation thereto can be ob• tained, for those who were in th• store when the unforiunnte event took place, are too much injured to say any thing about it. thotcocit, Washington Co. Aid May "1839 $ A few minutes after I addressed you yes terday, I repaired to the room where Rush had been removed to. The maimed and mutilated poor fellow breathed his last soon after I arrived. Such a piece of disfigured mortality I never beheld, though it has fal len to my lot to witness the hurrying out of existence of some scores of my fellow-men. The children and the other wounded are despired of. If the children should recov er, they will finish their days as cripples. Mr. Rush's superannuated father and mo ther had retired to their pallet, in the upper story, and when the floor was upraised by the explosion, they were carried into mid sir, and strange to say, were found nearly forty feet from the house unhurt. Mrs. Rush, likewise, most miraculously escaped without injury ; but what a truly gloomy prospect is hers—her husband death —her children dying, and. her property— her Wherewithal destroyed.
