• I sIDDRESS I t o the reoPie of. Pennsylvania. The.andersigned, your Senators and rep resentatiVes, being about to separate after the discharge of arduous duty, deem it to he their duty to- present a view of the pub• lie atfilirs of the Commonwealth with re foreuce to their past and present adminis• trances, and the hopes whieli every good citizen has a right to entertain of a change for the future.—During the session of the Legislature which has just terminated, they have labored with ti.•resolute purpose of meeting the expectations of the people and the responsibilities imposed upon them by a state of things unparalleled in the history of , our country. Ae the , expression • of the wants ot,the people reached them, as peti tions for relief in a season of unequalled dis tress were presented to them : they sought to meet those wishes, and by one measure of relief after another, such as have passed botteHouses, to do for the people what the people had a right to ask. Unhappily for those who sought relief, and for the legislature who desired to afihrd it, the Executive authority has been con ferred upon an individual, who, exercising it with no view but for the maintenance of his own official influence, has never venter ed to indicate his measure of either retie f or reform, or been willing to unite with us in ours. There is a course of official duty which the Constitntion contemplates oe the •part of.the Executive alike removed from the improper interference and 'nye. terious reserve, which, had it been pursued - by the present executive, would have a bridged our session, simplified our labors and enabled us to return home with the happy assurance that the Government, by the concurrent action of its various depart ments, had relieved the distress and per plexity of its constituency. That cour s e is the same which the patriot Harrison inten ded to pursue, to which his successor is pledged, and the reverse of the dark and sinuous line of action which the present Governor of Pennsylvania seems to delight. It isnot to dictate to the Legislature, who coming more recently from the people best know their wants, but in the letter of the Constitution it is "from time to time to give to the General Assembly infurmation of the state of the Commonwealth, and recommend to their consideration, such measures as he shall deem expedient; and tit its spirit having ,inade these recommendations to acquiesce in the action of the immediate Representa tives of the people unless it violates either the Constitution or some essential principle of good government. This middle courss between obstrusive interference and stubborn reserve, the pre sentExecutiveorPennsylvania seems una ble to discern, and the Legislators has been compelled with no other consolation than the honest effort to do duty always afforde, to wait for weeks and months unable to at. tain a glimpse of Executive opinions except when they were made manifest in Vetoes trequentlycouched in disrespectful language or as they could be gathered from the inti ;mations of accredited partizans in and out of the Legislature. Under such ember rassmeet has the Legislature acted, and to such embarrassment has the Executive been content to leave us to act. We wish a suffering people to understand this and to listen to the proof. The session of the Legislature commenc. ed on the first Tuesday of January 1841. The state of , thingi throughout the Com monwealth was then most peculiar. The Banks were in a state of general suspension., -The currency consisted mainly of the notes of the Banks of other stateti or of the Bank of the United States, and for the settlement of the small accoUnts which form so large aproportion• • of the daily business , of the citizens, nothing was accessible but the ',illegal and discredited small note currency 'front abroad. A promised resumption of specie payments was at band and every good citizen looked forward with the hope if not the expectatioh that it might be per manent and the community might not soon again be called to witness a scene of univer sat discredit. There were many who be tiered that no permanent resumption could be effected•without the beneficial interposi: Lion of the General Government, and on that interposition directed by the wisdom and patriotism of a President chosen by Pennsylvania itself, we confidently relied. But the Governor was not one of these.— He relied on the efficacy ofetate legislation directed by mere party impulses; he shared in none of our expectations of action at 'Washington; he never expressed and pro bably never felt any share of the confidence which the reason and good feeling of the people; reposed in the wisdom and patrotism Of the himented Harrison. Now we ask you to mark the results. ,On the 15th of January 1841, the Banks resumed specie . • payinents—on the first of February the Governor negociated a loan of nearly 800,- 000 dollars with the Banks and mainly with the Bank of the United States—on the 4th of February the Banks again sus• pended and in a state of almost hopeless prostration have they remained ever since. Oa the sth day of February the intelli genCe of the calamity reached the seat of Government through private channels: The Legislature after pausing to give the • Executive an• opportunity of presenting his views at this crisis, proceeded without further delay to do its duty and legislate for the crying necessities of the people.— To enable the Executive to suggest his `• remedy for the evils then impending was idue alike to him and to ourselves—we ':waited but we waited in vain. The exec• litive functions were paralytic. No word - .fell from the lips of the Governor, and so 4ir RS* or the public are apprised of his 144410 m volernarily expressed, content with the present state of things, irredeema : 'file currency, hopelessly irredeemable for , the suffering people, ho wrapped himself in mysterious ailence and made no effort, no'sio ihsir promised relief. Not so your Representatives—unaided, emounselled by the. Executive, they as. solamed the reirmilpity and measures of " " • " --_ relief were originated, matured and enacted. Mixed however with the prayer for relief, there was en emphatic demand for reform —and it was with a steady "view r to the co incident ministration of relief and reform that our measures were prepared. It was not long before a measure of bank rcfbrm and popular relief was enacted by both Houses. It was rigid in its enact ments to the Banks. It was generous and beneficient fur the people. It limited the powers of Bank officers and directors-- it checked inordinate Banking operations. It wns not the extravagant privilege of dis regarding taw. It was the privilege which Inecessity exacted and it was nothing more. But with that privilege wore connected vi tat measures of reform which the people had long demanded. So far as the legisla ture was concerned their duty was promptly and faithfully performed. Nor was it till the Legislature had thus acted that any Executive intimation was made. It came as usual in the form of a peremptory refusal to acquiesce in the views of the Representatives of the peo ple, and it left the Legislature to mature its measures again, and guessing at the varying opinions of the executive to try to enact taws which might conform to them and at the same time be consonant with public policy and Constitutional requisi tion. . With what an anxious desire to regulate our course by wise and disinterested views —to do what a peculiar exigency required and -no more,---to cone Bate our po:ittcal adversaries and for once to unite with them or persuade them to unite with us in a com mon effort to relieve the suffering commu nity, those who were immediate spectators of the scene best can tell. One of the un dersigned representing the feelings of us all on the' floor of the Senate expressly tender ed to the friends of the Executive the assu rance of an earnest desire to bury' mere party feeling, and co operate cordially in measures at which no party cavil could be uttered. But it was 'in vain. , The only answer was derision at the offer, and a scornful denial of the existence of all dis tress among our constituents. Not discouraged by the failure of all these efforts, the undersigned again ma- tured a measure of relief designed to effect the greet object in the attainment of which we believe the hopes of our suffering con stituents were involved. Would our con stituents have seen what we have seen, and known what we have known, they would still more highly appreciate our reasonable anxiety to give relief Not only was the community generally agonized, but on cer tain classes the pressure of the times fell with peculiar severity. The contracts on the unfinished lines of the public works were made on the faith of Commonwealth. So- lelmnly and sacredly pledged by agents who, however &au.= to their trieita warn. still the agents of the State—After the adjournment of last legislature the Canal Commissioners holding their offices at the will• of the Governor, aware that to appropriations were expended or insuffi cient, prosecuted the public works. Of this action we do not feel disposed to Speak further than to Say that the Executive who would' thus willingly incur debts ought to be as willing to pay them and not to deny poor justice to those who suffer by his acts. The contractors who in full confidence trusted the Commonwealth, have come to us and told their piteous tale—their prop erty sacrificedotheir toil wasted, debts in curred, executions impending, ruin staring themselves and families in the face, the disgrace of iusolvency taunting their char acter, and the debtors prison waiting to re ceive' them. The counties of Erie, or Ciawford, of Beaver, of Dauphin, Hun tingdon, Centre, Lycoming, of Mercer, of Columbia, Northumberland, Luzorne, of Bradford 'and Susquehanna, are filled with , suffers like these. We have listened and listened with pity to their story of suffer.; ing and though great diversity of opinion exists as to the policy of further expendi turo on the unfinished lines, none of us are insensible to the States' obligations to pay her just debts. It is the Executive alone, who without authority of law, persists in his refusal to pay them. To give relief and do justice to these creditors the Legislature has labored long and anxiously and in the:hope of giving this relief, was-the measure to which they have referred in a great measure matured. The debts due for repairs alone, amount to two hundred .and sixty-eight thousand dollars, due generally to poor men who have contributed their labor to keep the public works in such condition that ,they may render revenue to the Commonwealth. Cases of individual haidship have been brought to our view, at which any heart would sicken, except the callous hearts of those who, elevated above the sympathies of ordinary humanity can use the benefit of labor. and yet deny to kits just reward. It was to pay those debts too that the un dersigned have anxiously labored. To other public creditors, to ,those by whose pecuuiary contributions the Internal Improvement system has been constructed them was due at least an effort on the part of the State . to discharge its obligations.— Relying too confidently on the professions of the Executive, that, by. no act of his should the State credit be impaired or the public) faith violated, we assumed the hazer. dous responsibility. of exacting from the people uew contributions to the common cause. The ruinous and diigraceful aye, tom of borrowing to pay interest, the under signed thought and still think ought to be arrested. They, have endeavored to do se, and it they have failed, the responsibility is not theirs. The state credit must and ought at all hazards and at any cost to be sustained. The State debt is the aggre gate of every man's promise, and if dis honor rest on the individual .who violates his word, far deeper and fouler is that chs honor which ,will pursue the community which wantonly and causelessly disregards its obligations and taking contributions from the hand"Of generous confidence, now entrenches itself ,within ite constitutional ME23M immunity and refuses to provide for the payment of its unquestioned debts. There is hut one mode of sustaining credit, end to that the Legislature resorted. Its fa.iture is not attributable to us The measure thus matured finally pas sed the Legislature on the 30111* of April and on the first May it was returned to us, with the Executive objections. To that measure and to those objections we ask your best attention. They are in all re spects worthy of it. it was a measure which will at once relieve the pressure of immediate liability on the Commonwealth, pay its domestic creditors, aflord relief to the people by a moderate and well regula ted amount of small note currency,' save a large amount of interest on the public debt, and give to the banks such relief as for the sake of the community it was proper to afford to them— but it did more, and to this we invite especial attention. it provided for a reduction of the'eXpenses of the gov ernment—it expressly prohibited the entan glement of the Commonwealth in new coa tracts' the burthen of which would ultimate.: ly fall on the people themselves—and above all it specially appropriated the money to be raised to certain objects and made it an offence against the law for its officers to the appropriations. There was to be no transfer of money from this fund to that fund—no drawing from one pocket to pay into another—no concealing deficiencies or defalcations by - ingenious transfers—no puz zling the public mind by .intricate account, but every cent of revenue raised had its appropriate object indicated, and neither the Executive nor his agents, could without detection misapply it. This constitutional "coercion" we thought we had a right to apply, and yet it is ofthis restraint which the constitution itself enjoins, and which we were bound to prescribe, that the Exec utive complains as a dangerous encroach ment on his prerogative. From this com plaint we again appeal to the popular judg ment to Sanction a measure which would deserve approval, it it contained no other provision than this. Wo trust that no Legislature will ever be dissuaded or de. terred from imposing this wholesome re straint on the power of the Executive on the treasury. So far as the Relief Bill affected the banking institutions of the State,to the great surprize of the undersigned, they found the views of the Governor on one point had sud denly became consonant with theirs. At the beginning of the last session he denoun ced small notes as an evil which was on every account , to be avoided, and strenu ously urged the prohibition of notes under ten dollars. At that time the people were suffering for the want of this currency but the Executive prejudices were obdurate.— At the beginning of this session his views were unchanged. So late as the Bth of Aoril. when he vetoed the Reform Bank Bill he still proTeiStirtiestitity to amen notes even to a limited amount, and made this one of his objections to that measure of, salutary regulation. By his recent veto it however appears that within a short time the Executive on this subject has changed his ground, and that influenced by consider• ations which lie has not indicated and 'in relation to which in charity, he will not pre tend to speculate, he too is in favor of this, mode of relief to the community. %Vo ap. prehend that, the people will appreciate the sincerity of his past professions and feel due gratitude for his late acquiesence in their wishes. Not discouraged yet but anxious to pre. serve the public credit at all hazards, in or der to save 'tlit Executive from the stain which must rest on him, and on him alone, if by the course he has thought 4i to pursue the Legislature were forced to adjourn without definite action,.still perplexed 'by , the obscure intimations of his will, and sympathising deeply with the suffering people; the undersigned determined to act on their own responsibility, and-according ly passed the measured relief by a consti tutional majority. If public gratitude be due, no share of it is due to the Executive. It is a measure of comprOmise to which we ask the cordial and generous considera non of the people. It is a measure of no. cessity amidst surrounding difficulties. It is a measure Which gives relief and deserves the popular approval. Such has been our general course of ac tion on the great measure of relief and re form—and to that action thus thwarted' and perplexed, we confidently invite your' can did and generous consideration. Could the Governor have been induced to depart from his.oraeular reserve, and appealing to this impartial judgment of the people, a reliance which never- fails, frankly have 'indicated 'his views or expressed his will ingness to take counsel, tree and honest counsel with the Legislature on such sub jects, much time and expense might -have been spared, and long ago might we have returned to those who sent us hither and• told them that counsels of patriotism had prevailed, popular neeetisities been relieved; and wholesome reform enforced. - If the result had been different; the responailility would not be with 'us. If we had left the people -without relief, we should' have left them in the hands of the Exe'cutivoi. - • [co:cm:4ll4 rrerr wszica NEW, )(WM .

On the 28th September, Governor Sew ard replied, that he should send his answer "soon as it could be copied." On the 22d October, Gov. Gilmer, not having as yet received the answer, again reminded Gov. Seward of his promise. On the sth November, having heard nothing on the subject, Gov. Gilmer again addressed Gov. Seward. On the 9th November, 1840, Gov. Sew * despatched the promised answer. And what is it? Why, that ono branch of the New York Legislature having approved his conduct, and the other having taken no final action on the subject he still refuses to surrender the negro thieves. In the mean time, a man 'charged with forgery in New York, is arrested in Vir ginia, and Gov. Seward calls on Governor Gilmer to deliver him up to be tried in New York. Gov. Gilmer replies, that he will do so when tho Governor of New York has de livered up the negro thieves.. The whole correspondence was laid be fore the Virginia Legislature at the jcist see- slon.

Our AT LAsr.—When the admirable report was made a few weeks since, from the Judiciary Committee of tho Senate, by Mr. Wm'lsms, relative to the fees illegally drawn from the Treasury, by warrants from the Governor in favor of Gyro F. JOHNSON and JAMES M. PORTER, notice was given by the minority of the commit tee that a counter report would bo at an early day presented. Mr. Williams, from the majority of the committee, at once de clared that he hoped the minority would keep their promise, and if they did, that ninnifesto_sho.uld be printed with the report from the inniciri ty. ever, was heard from the minority since that time, until yesterday, when M r. FLEX ING seemed suddenly to have awakened, and presented the views of the minority.— It was not a little remarkable that this mi nority report was not presented until it was impossible to print it with the able report of the majority of the committee. The mi nority did not desire to subject their bant ling to a companionship which would have entirely destroyed its efficacy as a party report. They knew full well that to stand at all, it must stand alone. Tho report of Mr. Fleming is just such a paPer as might have been expected.- But a moat mysterious feature of it is the fact, that it is in the same hand-writing of the Governor's last Veto Message! This is pretty good evidence that it came from the office of the Secretary of the Common wealth. Why it came from that office, we do not care to inquire; and whether Mr. Fleming acted merely as the mouth-piece of the Governor; and in that capacity gave to the Senate as his own a report which he did not write, is his business and not ours: This, however, seems to be his position, and it is ono not at all enviable. After the above was written yesterday, a motion was made in the Senate by Mr. SPACEMAN to refer the report back to Mr. -Fleming, on account of its indecorous lan. guage, which motion, after some discussion, prevailed. In the course of the discussion, it was distinctly charged upon Mr. Fleming that the report was written for him by the Attorney General. He dented that the Governor had written for or spoken to him on the subject, and admitted , that tie had Consulted with the Attorney General, and did not deny that the report was written by that officert--Har. inf.

And though it was a patriot and a •Christian duty, how much more sternly than the fiercest onset of the heady fight, must that still forest field, the lowering sky, the howling wind those gal• lant men butchered by savage hands, and all the recollections and forebodings of that most disastrotis day, have tried the spirit of a youthful soldier, on his first campaign. It was a chill November night, , when a mull' army of Ameribans encamped theta. selves upon a point of laud; between the Wabash and a _tributary stream.. They_ were the gentlemen and yeomen of the country, who had enrolled themselves under the territorial Gurernor, to defend their homes against the inroads of the hostile In dian tribes, and to chastise their insolence- A long and tcdious march, through a most dreary:wilderness, brings them .at lust where.their wily foes await them; 'and, on their proposition for a conference and trea ty, hostilities aro intermitted for a day.— Slowly and cheerlessly the night wears' off, within that guarded camp, with clouds and • rain.

There will bo a general suspension of business in this place on that Jay. Religious services, wo understand, will also be held in most, if not in all the Churches of the Borough. A Knavish Governor, and a - too Confiding Legislature. The most- successful piece of low trickery, which we recollect to have seen, has been played off 'by •David R. Porter - on 'our Legislature.— The State had been brought into debt by the profligacy of the present administration about 83,000,000 beyond all the revenue and previous appropriations. No means could be devised to pay it,' unless 'sotto further indulgence were granted to the Banks. The interest on the State debt would remain unpaid, and the faith and Credit, -of the State destroyed. The contractors and laborers on the public works would be ruined for want of what was justly duo them by the State. The Governor, omitting the injunction of - the Constitution to 4.recommend measures," proposed no means of relief. Ho bad lost the good opinion of the "Barti-Burriere" by tamper. ing with the Banks before. He wished to regain It at this session preceding the election. Ha suffered the Legislature to proceed to pass an act to relieve the State by relieving the Banks from persecution. To sanction this would offend his agrarian cut-throats. He therefore vetoes it with a 'great parade o f anti-Bank slang. The Legisla ture, when the Bill was returned sustain the veto, end kill the Bill. , This was whet the Governor did.not wish. ' I 1 'desired the Bill to become a law against the veto, because It gave him three 'millions "of dollars to did his election, while' he 'enjoyed all the advantageiof his seeming hostility to bank.. Ho coaxed his particular friends in the Senate to dodge, and in the House to re-consider the veto killing the Bill, and then enough of them . (thirteen) to vote for it and with the aid of the good natured Democrats, to pass it by twe ttiirde. It must be confessed that our party be. came his dupes. Why should they take the re sponsibility of forcing $3,000,000 into the trea • sury to enable the Executive to carry on the .gov linammit, and re-elect himself? After having done their duty why not leave the result to him?" Why should the Legislature, having a Demo crude majority, incur all, the responsibility of tho -measure, and leave the Governor all the popular ity of opposing it, if it should be unp'opulat, and yet give him all the benefit of its advantages!— , Wo confess we think the Democra6 tiave been .out-tvitted, by a low trickster. Had they gone home without making any provision for supplying 'the treasury, the fault would not have been theirs, ',hut would have been properly attributed by the , people to the vetoing demagogue who disgraces • the Executive chair. • 7 1. Adjournment. , On Tuesday last the Pennsylvania Legislature • closed its labors, after a session of about four months, being the shortest session that has bean _held. in this State for many years, and one during • which d greater amount of business has been aOtedupod than at any other of the same length. One hundred and thirty-two Acts and - fifteen Re solutions wore passed during the session just dosed. ' THE itEserrE.—The respite of Gov.

The tax is from $7 to $2OO, according to the aggre gate amount of annual sales. 11. ,The banks (except the U. S. Bank) are anther ized to fund any of the State debt possessed by them, with the Auditor General; and 12—on doing so, are allowed to issue notes (of not less than five dollars) to an amount equal to the State debt so funded, and re deem:hie in such stock, when presented in sums of one hundred dollars and upwards.

The principal items are: To common schools, $330,000; colle ges, academies and female seminaries,' $45,000; pensions, $80,000; repairs of pub lic works, $400,000; to pay debts for re pairs on West Branch line, $269,000; Mo., 'nongahela Navigation Company, $70,000; debts on Shenango line, $250,000; do. on Conneaut line, $261,000; do. on North Branch line, $513,000; do. on Wiconisco, $04,000, &c. making in all $2,775,000. The 15th section declares that irnoney, shall not be diverted from the object to which it has been specially appropriated: Section 17 relieves the banks, complying with the provisions of this act, from any greater penalty or interest than six per cen. in default of paying their responsibilities on demand. But before the United States Dank can avail of this exemption, from ex traordinary penalties, it must, by a' veto ,of the stockholders, at a meeting held in pur suance of the charier, consent to be subject to the general laws of the State, hereafter enacted, fur the regulation of the banks of the State. 18 provides dint:frit suetigeri end meeting of the stockholders of the U. S. Bank, it shall be decided by a majority 'of votes (counted according to the provi sions of charter) that it is expedient for the Bank to make a general assignment of its efforts, to trustees, for the payment of its debts; and if the stockholders shall moreover elect five' or more persons to serve as trustees, then it is made the duty of the Directors to make such assignment. In the event of such assignment being de• termined on by the stockholders, the suc ceeding sections to 24, designate the mode of precedure on the part of the Trustees in winding up the concerns of the bank. The 25th declares that no proxies to vote at any election or meeting of this bank, shall be valid, unless dated and executed within sixty days of the election or meeting. The banks which decline to accept the provisions of this law, are to remain sub ject to the laws now in force, in regard to banking affairs. The 27th section now requires the sev eral banks, which desire to avail of the pre sent law, to fund an amount of State stock, equal to at least five per cent. of their capital paid in, on which to predicate the issue of notes redeemable in said stock, as authorized under the 12th section. Those banks which fail or refuse to make this de. posite astute stock, are to be—exempted from the beneficial provisions of the' act, and to remain subject to existing laws. The 28th section requires the banks to notify the Governor of their acceptance of the provisions of the act, within forty days from its pissage; and the 29th and last, makes it the duty of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, as soon as may be after ihe passage of the act, to notify the several bunko, of the same.

It is not, there fore, within the power of the Secretary to make a single appointment in that branch and class of the service, nor , will it be until the authorized number of midshipmen be augmented, (as probably, in . , reference to the interest of the Navy it ought to bo,) or until extensive promotions shall be made in the Naval h'ervice."

THE CASE OF MCLEOD AND THE BOUN DARll'QuEsnox.---The New York Corn mercial intimates on the authority of pri vale advices from WaslOgton, that a deci sion of much importance has been made, both as to the case of McLeod and the Boundary Question. "If," says the Corn. inercial, "we are rightly informed,. it has been agreed bstween Mr. Fox and the Government of the United States, that no farther opposition shall bo made by the former to the trial of McLeod. That trial is to go on, under tho jurisdiction of Now York, without interference either by the British Minister or the National Govern ment. if acquitted, as is most probable, McLeod will , be discharged, of course, and the matter thus be disposed of. .If convict ed, the•national Government will then take the necessary steps to afibrd him that mea sure of justice and protection which all tho circumstances of the case may require. "As to the boundary, we learn that a con vention has been signed on the part of Groat Britian and the Uniled States, which pro. vides for the appointment of six commis sioners, three for each party to the dispute. 'These six, if they can agree, aro to give Fl final decision on the question. if they can• not earee, they are CO appoint three others, and a iD decision by the majority of the nine is to be conclusive.

And be, it'rememberad that not one of these laws has been votoed,on account of constitutional principle .or scruples , They rest altogether un Gov. Porter's individual opinions, as to wisdom justice or expedien. cy. But when thu veto power is thus fre quently exorcised, on all sorts of subjects —when ten times, in a single session, the action of the legislative body, is arrested, check mated, nullified, by the will of one individual, it is impossible to doubt that the power is not only liable to great abuse, but that it has been greatly abused. And whether or not so intended by Gov. Porter, the needless frequency of his interference with the will and acts of the Representatives of the people, by the exercise of the "one man power," can hardly foil of bringing that power into disgrace. When an indi vidual of so exceedingly moderate capacity ati Governor Porter, hue resort to this start ling power ten ditrerent times, in a single session, one cannot but conclude, tt is high time that the power itself was votoed.— W hen intemperance reaches to such a head, cure and safety can probably be feuud'Only in total abstinence I—Balt.

Ile chose to be his own ex• ecutioner, and after deliberately sharpening hie pen-knite, commenced operation. He cut ono side of his throat pretty badly; on the other the incision was only skin deep; bathe is, to the relief of the boatman, who only wished to alarm him, doing quite well in the hands of a skilful surgeon. • • FATAL MISTAKEB.—Isaac Rice of Clinton Co., OhiO, Caine to tub death on the 9th ult., under the following painful circum. stances: ' A short Limo before sunrise, Mr. K. went out on a hunt of wild turkeys, had while in the woods secreted himself ' behind a' pile of brush, and commenced calling tur keys. He slowly but gradually rose from his position, when a.neighbor who was on a like excursion, took him for a turkey and fired; shooting him through the heart. •An other casualty from a precisely similar mistake, occurred a few days since, in Hop , kins county, Kentucky.
