THE WESTERN RESERVOIR. 01.41 the riecalities practised against the 'Wait, b' the infamous System - of favorite• ism which has dialuguished Porter's Ca. sal' Board. the 'letting of the "clearings of the Western Reservoir," is the most palpa ble;.it is the crowning transaction of a series of peculation; robberies and plan detinee which will be developed in the pre sent campaign, the commission of which cannot be denied or explainzd! There is indeed - a terrible array effects to be brought up - in judgment against David R. Porter and his most guilty officers', but none can exceed in unblushing effronetry and moral turpitude the history of these lettings. • Farmers of Pennsylirania! we call on you to look into these facts—you are best ac quainted with the value of "clearing"—that • is for Cutting down and burning trees and brash. The, ground to be overflowed by the dam of this Reservoir, containing about 400 acres, was divided into 7 lots of about 60 acme each. These jobswore given out at a period when there was no occasion for haete r no emergency which rendered a pe. - euniary. sacrifice justifiable, - not to the low • est and best bidder, but at $33, $55,. $544., 870, 860,852 and $73. -The Report of t 6 Investigating Committee, estimated the' probable worth of such a job at 30 dollars per Acre, but eery farmer will readily agree. With us that this estimate was most liberal, as it need not have cost even that sum. It is well known that bids were made • much lower than the - jobs were let 'at. Ja =leen and Bell obtained one lot at $52 per acre, and bid for others much lower than they were allotted to other persona. For instance they bid 845 for lot - No. 2. which 'was let at 855; they bid $5O for lot No. 3, whiCh was let at $544; and they bid 852 for lot No. 5. which was let at $73. If each of these lots are estimated at 60 acres, the DIFFERENCE WOULD BE A GAINST THE STATE, 82,14.15. Mr. Bell, one of the firm, is now living at ' Freeport, and makes no concealment of the fact, that be let the lot for 22 dollars, which was assigned to him at 52 dollars per acre! There were many bidders for the West. era Reservoir, allotted to Morehead and. Packer, in November 1839, and having - bid much lower than the price afterwards • paid to the brother of one of the Canal Com missioners, it became necessary to satisfy them - by - other jobs at - outrageous and 'swindling prices! And it is obvious • that many were so quieted! Can any thing. be more. clear than that-these prices, $22,728 -.for clearing 400 acres. or an average of $56,82 per acre were given to satisfy pro minent bidders for the Reservoir. AND TO CLEAR THE - WAY FOR MOORE HEAD as PACKER TO WHOM IT .WAS PRE DETERMINED TO GIVE "THE JOB! - The Western Reservoir then, instead of costing but $30,000 more than it ought to have cost, has been contracted for nearly it not quite, $50,000 too much !! ! And thisfor the benefit of the relations of the Canal Commissioners!!! Nor should the •iact be iorgotten. that James Clark, upon whose character for independence and im maculateness, the present Canal Commis sioners, through theirtriends in the minor ity report, rely so much, was a member of the Canal Board when these clearing con tracts and reservoirs were allotted.

They may misrepresent feels, so as to keep m the dark their will fully blind partizans, who glory in the "fat job system ," on subjects that require an attentive examination and comparison of facts to understand; but can the people at large, the FARMERS of Pennsylvania,the tax payers help- seeing "and understanding the whole plunder practiced upon them in the letting of these "clearing contracts."

And to this, 18900 they must .come—there is no hope for them to dodge the question—they shall have no rest until they attempt an explanation or justification, and the indignant voice of the community will in the meantime be thun dering rebuke in their ears! Give us the explanation, why the brother of the Canal Commissioner Packer, was allotted thl4 contract at such exorbitant rates. why the State was so plundered, and why it is found necessary fur the minority in their report to misrepresent facts to -shield the mon strous frauds of Porter's Administration!

From the St. Louie Bulletin of July 1. &CAPS AND RECAPTURE OF 11113 Mint- DRIIRRS.Leist evening, just before dark, when the jailor (Mr. Melody) was in the 1 act of locking up. for the night, the prisoners (the four negroes confined under sentence of death) made an attempt to escape. It seems that, by some means, they had got an instrument and sawed off the heads of the rivets in their ',hackles. During the day, the jailor has kept them in a cell at the south end of the passage, and at night locked them in a cell north of the middle passage. having dressed themselves and made ready, they seized on the moment when the negro man who carries water to the prisoners was going out. Having taken ofi their shackles and straightened them, they made a rush. at the outer door at the moment it wag opened to let the negro out. Madison, who was foremost, struck the negro on the in side and knocked him down, rushed out and struck the negro on the outside, across the breast or bowels. One of them made a blow at one of the guard next the door, and he fell over a sick man who lay near the door. Madison struck at the other guard, and before he could recover, three of them (Madison; Warwick, and Seward) had passed on to wards the gate, °polling on 6th street. Mr. Melody, who was in one of the cells at the time, run out . in time to' seize Brown just as he was escaping, and drew him back. One of the guard and a negro man of Mr. Brotherton s (Buck) pursued alter the other three. Mr. Ames, who was also sitting at the door of the prison, attempted to seize a bar to strike with, but before he could grasp it he had to run to avoid their blows. He, however pursued them to the gate. They threw the irons away and run down to Mar ket street. out market to Ninth, and up Ninth. Buck passed Seward and overtook Warwick. The guard, who was next to him, caught Seward, and Madison who was foremost, was seized by a gentleman of the name of Warfield. They were all brought back and ironed. The rush and the escape was all done so suddenly and with - so much desperation that it is even surprising that they had not suc. ceeded in getting off further. We have been in the jail .several hours in the day for two weeks or more, and we know that every precaution has been used by Mr. Mel , ody, and the two men he has on guard, but they were completely deceived as to the security of the irons, although they were examined twice every day. Brown we presume, bad been detained, for we bad been receiving his confession up to within fifteen or twenty minutes of the attempt to escape. When carried back, they were not only ironed with heavy shackles, firmly riveted on their legs, but handcuffed. The jail is so crowded that the jailor has been Com pelled to keep some of them together; he however has crowded other cells, and rep arated them. During the excitement, either at the time of the escape, or on the return of the pris oilers, the little boy Burton, who was con fined in the passage, made his escape, and had not been taken last night. The prisoners say they cut the irons off with a knife which they had made into a saw, but it is supposed they had the main apt ing of a watch; probably one which they had when first committed. There robabty never was a more daring attempt made by men, for when they rushed to the outer door, there were six men, including the two negroes, around it. REV. E. K. AverrsiC —A correspondent of the Boston Traveller,writing from Rhode Island, states the following. The state ments, if true, will have the effect of chang ing what has been public opinion for many years:— "The murder of Miss Cornell was com mitted, it committed at all, on the night of the 20th of December, 1832, and on the night Mr. Avery was absent from his fami ly in Bristol. He could not satisfactorily account for the time he was absent. In his examination, however, he said that to the evening of the 20th December, he was returning home from the coal mines, on the island of Rhode Island; and while on his :way he saw and spoke -to a man and boy, who were driving a flock of sheep. If he could have proved that he saw the man and boy at the time alleged,bis innocence would have been established beyond a shadow of doubt or dispute. Unfortunately, in despite of every effort, they could not be found. I was conversing on this subject, a few days since, with a distinguished gentleman of Bristol, and he informed me of the astound ing fact, that the man and boy have recent. ly been discovered, and that the boy now a I full grown man by the , way, has, by affida vit, substantiated every word Mr. Avery asserted on hie examination! My information comes from a source too respectable to be doubted, ancf_ I impart it to you with great satisfaction. Yours very truly, JOIIN SIIIITR JR., Of Arkansas. Our readers will •probably recollect the case of'Mr. Avery, who was charged with the murder of Miss Cornell, with a view of averting from himself, the consequences of other guilt. We do nut know the man, but we remember that at the time of his trial, there 'Was a strong desire to get up unkind feelings, against the respectable persons, who bad determined that the outcry against him, should not prevent him from having all means for a fair trial. We sincerely hope, that "the man and boy" will appear, and testify to the truth which seems so Ml' portant to Mr. Avery.— U. '8; Gaz. Gov.

Mcf..Rou.—As our New York correspondent advised us yesterday would be the case, the New York Supreme Court has decided against the release of McLeod. the only question before the Court was, whether McLeod should be discharged without trial, on the ground that the offence with which he is charged, was a public act, performed in obedience to orders from officers appointed by the British govern. ment, and that the act had since been adopt ed by that governmental its own act. The Court has decided against such discharge. The opinion of the Court, which was ud aniirious, is very long, and our limits today preclude any extended notice of the argu ment. The concluding paragraphs are as follows: When a Grand Jury have charged that a man has committed murder in this State, 1 can imagine no case, whether the charge relate to time of open public war or peace, in which he can claim exemption from trial. if he show that he was in truth act. ing as a soldier in time of public war, the jury will acquit him. The judge will di. rect them to obey the law of nations, which is undoubtedly a part of the common law.— So, if the accused were acting In defence against an individual invader of his country. But above all things it is important in the latter case for the jury to inquire whether his allegation of defence be not false or co lorable. They cannot allow as an act of defence, the wilful pursuing even such an enemy, though dictated by sovereign authority,into a country at peace with the sovereign of the accused, seeking out that enemy and taking his life. Such indeed, can be noth ing but an act of vengeance. It can be nothing but a violation of territory, a viola tion of the municipal law, the faith of,trea ties, and the law of nations. The government of the accused may np prove, diplomacy may glaze, but a jury can only inquire whether he was a party to the deed, or to any act of illegal violence which ho knew would probably endanger human lite. If satisfied that he was not, as 1 sin cerely hope they may be,upon the evidence in the case before us, they will theh have the pleasant duty to perform of pronouncing him not guilty. But whatever may be their conclusion, we feel the utmost confi dence that the prisoner, though a foreigner, will have no just cause to complain that ho has suffered wrong at the hands of an Amer ican jury. At our hands the prisoner had a right to require an answer upon the facts presented by his papers, whether in law he can pro perly be holden to a trial. We have had no election but to examine and pronounce upon the legal character of those facts, in order to satisfy ourselves of the bearing they might have on the novel and important question submitted. That examination has led to the conclusion that we have no pow. er to discharge the prisoner. He must, therefore, be remanded, to take his trial in the ordinary forms of law. The effect of this decision will be, to cause the prisoner to be tried on the indict ment, by a Jury, unless the case in its pre sent form should be appealed to the Court of Errors, (the State Senate,) and this ap peal, it is understod, will be taken. The New York American says, lithe Court of Errors should affirm the decision of the Supreme Court, an appeal lies, and will be taken, to the Supreme Court of the United States; and meantime, a rule, on application of the prisoner's counsel, would doubtless be made by the Court of Errors to stay pro ceedings in the case, until a final decision could be had.—Balt. Put. THE PUBLIC LANDS IN THE UNITED STATES.—The Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper, states on authori• ty entitled to full credit, that the quantity of the public domain is ten hundred and nine• ty-five millions five hundred and thirty-six thousand two hundred and fifty•two acres. The Indian title has been extinguished to three hundred and nineteen millions five hundred and thirtysix thousand two hun dred and fifty two acres, of which there were ceded up to September, 1839, to twelve new States and Territories, twelve millions seven hundred and thirty-six thous and four hundred and eighteen acres, and sold up to September, 1840, eighty-three milliens eight hundred and seven thousand eight hundred and• twenty acres, leaving two hundred and twenty.two millions nine hundred and ninety two thousand and four teen acres, subject to Immediate disposition by the United States. Of the value of this immense territory,• some estimate can be formed from the fact that the aggregate of the sales of the public lands, from the year 1833 to September 30, 1840, inclusive; amounted to seventy-two millions, two hun dred and sixty-nine thousand, seven hundred and lourty-nine dollars. At the minimum price, the remaining quantity would amount to more than ten hundred and seventy. eight millions of dollars. REBELLION AT Gmanntnos.—Harvard College, says the Boston Courier, is in a state of complete insubordination and disor der. The Students refuse to attend at the recitations, or submit in any other way to the authority of the officers. They have put forth' verbally, a " SeCond Declaration of Independence," and demand the expulsion of one of the tutors The officers of course, refused them this small favour, being more accustomed to expel students than tutors.- 4 . The burning of a woodeh budding on the college ground, a fe'w days ago, is supposed to be connected with these troubles. The affair grew out' of an attempt to suppress a 'iliasty Pudding Club." A slave, bPlonging• to Dr. Beaumont . , of West Baton Rouge, was recently killed by ari aligator. It appears that the slave was in the act of drawing some water from the Mississippi, when he was seized by the moister and instantly torn to pieces. The Judges of the Supremo Court recent ly tried one hundred and eleven writs of or roc, whi!e sitting at Harrisburg, Pa. WRO VOTES von Permit? —He who ap proves of the extravugakes ofour improve ment system—of the avaricious and domi. nearing agents and sub agents who prey upon the public treasury, along the whole bee of canals and railroads—who can look with complacency upon the herd of public agents who make themselves party slaves —such a man will vote for Mr. Porter. lie who believes that democracy consists in the exercise of arbitrary power—of the Governor being wiser than the people them. selves or their representatives —that their will should be defeated whenever it came in conflict with his--will vote for VETO POUTER.

A lad was recently convicted before one of the Assize Courts of Franco, on six charges of arson. It was stated that his propensity for destruction by burning was so great, that on one occasion he set fire to the clothes of some feinales who were asleep in a field, and who were only awakened by their agony. It is a curious fact, that whenever ho had set fire to a building, he was the first to call for assistence, and appeared to be deeply affected at the mis fortune• of the sufferers. He was con demned to twelve years imprisonment. EFFICIENCY OF THE ADMINISTRATION. —The Indianopolis Journal states that the Post Master of that city resigned his office about three months since and that yet there is no appointment made, though the old post master has engaged in other business which occupies all his time. The office is conducted entirely by irresponsible clerks at the expense of the Government. This is not the way things should be managed. Tho Journal states the singular fact that there is not a single applicant for the office though it is worth $2OOO per annum.— This renders the President still more inex. cusable, as he labors under none of the em• barrassment which he gives as a reason for not having acted with more energy in the case of our postmaster. THE PREVIOUS PARDON POWER.—The Pittsburg American relates the follow ing facts obtained from a gentleman of high respectability from Indiana county, in our State. Two strenuous supporters of Gov. Porter, in that county, of the names of Brady and Thompson, lately committed a very aggravated act of assault and battery, in consequence of which, warrants have been issued for their apprehension. These men are at present keeping out of the way of the officers of justice, and have a peti tion In circulation, addressed to the Gov ernor, for pardon, which they express aeon fidence of obtaining. They have as good right to it as flutter and Cantine.[Har. Tel. AMERICAN PRISONERS IN CALIFORNIA. —The American and English citizens of California, who were arrested on a charge of political conspiracy, were still in prison at the last advices, November 26th, 1840, awaiting their trial. Jose Castro, the ' per fect ofpolice,who had them arrested,haa been sent to Mexico for trial himself, after being in jail with his prisoners twenty-two days. The government will have to pay dearly for his folly. One of the prisoners, Nathan Dayley. of Mississippi, lately died. The other ninety-six are confined at Tepic.

BITOBTANT MOVE/IMT IN CUBA.- Some of the principal proprietors of agricul- tural estates at Havana have addressed a spirited memorial to the Captain General of the Island, praying him to take prompt and effectual measures for the suppression of the Slave Trade. They represent that it is to this traffic that they owe the displea- sure of England, tl►e efforts of the &boli• tionists and the great increase of the num• her of their 'natural enemies' on the Island. It says that there are now 060,000 persons of color on the Island, or about 60 percent. of the whole mutation numbered only 30 per cent.. More than this, they state that there are 900,000 disciplined tree blacks in Hayti at the disposal of England, 400 ; 000 on the South of Jamaica, 12,000 in the Bahama Archipelago and other islands in their neighborhood, increased by as many more wrested by capture from their Sla. vers. 110R8ES KILLED u Ltownittic.—Three valuable horses belonging .to.

A Sox MURDERED SY HIS FATHER ! We learn from the Delaware Republican that a most horrid and brutal murder was perpetrated in Sussex county on Wednos day,the aOth ofiune last. William Hearn, 76 years of ego, of Little Creek Hundred, committed the horrid and unnatural act.— He murdered his own son, a young man by the name of Joseph Hearn, about thirty years of age. The particulars. as stated to us, are these:—The son threatened to mur der his father and mother, and burn the house. The father, it seems, was appre hensive that these threats would be execu ted, and after his eon had retired to bed, deliberately took an axe, went to the bed room of his son, committed the heartrend ing and unnatural deed, by striking the un fortunate deceased five blows on the head. We learn that the perpetrator of this most atrocious net, has been committed to jail, at Georgetown, to await his trial,which will take place io October next. • A CONFLICT WITH BANK RODBER9.-•-•• The Mobile Journal of the 15th inst. states that several arrests have boon made, in Benton and Tallapoosa counties, of persons accused of being parties to frauds on the Montgomery Branch. G. W. Griffin, of Tallapoosa, and E. Herndon and John M. Guess, of Benton, have been brought to Montgomery for examination, before Judge Martin, and bound over for trial, on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the bank. The bail required of each was 85000. The Jacksonville (Benton county) Republican says that Griffin, on being arrested, refund ed it portion of the money. Guess, when first taken, contrived to escape and took to the woods. He was discovered there, and recaptured after a short conflict with one of his pursuers, named C. Samuels. in which guns were snapped by both rides in• effectually—and Samuels was wounded by a bowie knife. THE PEOPLE DETERMINED TO HAVE AN HONEST GOVERNOR.—The Hallidayeburg Register says:•—Wo are almost every day surprised by the discovery of some new friend, who has forsaken Porter and his office-holders, and enlisted under the banner of BANKS AND REFORM. Within a week or two we have seen not less than a dozen of persons, who, until recently, were in the ranks of the enemy, that have come out boldly in opposition to Porter—and among these wore some of his most decided and active friends at the late election. Our cause most certainly is gaining strength every day in thin section of the country. Cambria county, we are informed, will cer tainly be redeemed; Bedford will swell her Harrison majority; and Huntingdon will, we honebtly believe, give, at the very least 2,000, and it may be wo can go it 2,500 strong; at all events we can beat Somerset 'just as easy." GEN. HARRISON AND BISHOP CHASE.- The Rev. Dr. Henshaw saye:—The vener able Bishop Chase informed me that on his first missionary visit to the West as the pioneer of our church, about 26 years ago; Gen. Harrison was one of a few gentlemen, who, in a private House in Cincinnati, cor dially co-operated with him in organizing the first Protestant Episcopal church in the great valley of the Mississippi. Of that church he remained a constant and presave ring friend, freely contributing of his wealth and personal services to the advancement of its prosperity: he was also regular and exemplary in his attendance upon its deco. Lions. "My good bishop," said he, meaning the bishop of the church in Ohio, "has written me a letter of excellent advice as to my Christian deportment in the high station I am called to fill—l shall often consult it, and endeavor faithfdlly to comply with it." FRANCE AND TUE U. STATES.—In no ticing some official statements recently sub mitted to the French Chamber of Deputies, the Paris correspondent of the National Intelligencer says, that French trans-Atlan tic navigation comprises 2, 061 vessels, with an aggregate of 553,000 tons. He adds, that "in 1839, the number of passengers from France to our continent was 5,038, nearly one-half more than in 1838. In the latter year she exported to it products of her agricultural, manufacturing, and me chanical industry, to the amount of nearly 290 millinos. "The market of the United States," adds the report "is for France the most important of ail." We may estimate the total value of the trade between us at three hundred and four millions of francs." lfcontessedly, our custom is the most exten. sive and important for France, may we net reasonably claim a share in the now French policy of commercial treaties, with modifi cations of tariff. HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-A man namd Han dorf at Georgetown, Illinois, recently had a quarrel with his wife and boat her so severely that on the 23d ult. ho was a i rrest• ed. During his examination, while his wife was giving her testimony, he walked up to her with a smile, on his face, and whispeiing in her ear—'you shall never speak again,' attempted to stab her in the heart with q dirk knife, which he held con cealed in his sleeve; he had some difficulty in getting the knife from his .sleeve—she screamed and ran forward—when he, hold ing to her shawl with his;left hand, stabbed her ,in the back, inflicting _4 wound four inches deep, which it was thought by her. physician • ,would probably prove fatal.— Tribine. , A Lone.

A man named Wm; Adams, who, on a shooting excursion in Lcuisiana, lost his way in the cane brakes and swamps, giveS an account through the rievisp . ripers of his wanderings and sufferings for f vrtectx days. He went out with a party, end - straying ar, shot a deer, which he was b? back on his shoulders, When he fell in 'With the recent track of a panther.

Abandon ing the pursuit, ho sought to' retrace his steps, but in vain.. He went from bad to worse, sometimes up to his waist in water sometimes in cane-breaks of apparently boundless extent, without food, his ammu nition spoiled by the water, and his suffer ings for tho first few days intense from 'tho musquitos.—N. Y. Am. The narrative thus proceeds. On the fourth night I found myself in four foot water. I succeeded, however, in finding a tree which had fallen, the butt re maining above water, on which I slept through the night. In the morning, I again breasted the water, and soon discov! ()red some cane; keeping the same course, as near as I could, I crossed the cane and came to an open swamp. Here I saw some wild cattle, which were the first animate I had seen since I had abandoned the pursuit of the wounded panther. They were nu• merous, large and in fine condition, ono of which would doubtless have been sacrificed to satisfy the era% mg of hunger, which had the day previous been almost insufferable; were it not that my ammunition had become damaged and useless. This day 1 also suf. (bred much from hunger, but no longer felt the incessant biting of the musquitoes and ticks. my flesh being apparently dead to pain, yet my feet. were giving way, being covered with sores from the friction of tl , o shoes in the water. On the following day I found some green blackberries and ate a few; and after Ibis—the oth day I felt no hunger. I now found myself to a very heavy cane brake, which seemed to be interminable, and all my efforts to extricate myself from it proved unavailable, until the 12th day.— The cane was so heavy that it was impossi ble to keep any direct course, and, conse- quently, my progriss must have boen slow. On the 12th day; however, I struck a small stream;and to avoid the difficulty of push ing myself through the cane, I took to the water, and about 12 o'clock I struck a trail, that bad been cut by Mr. Lee, to the banks at the Bayou Alabama. At ten, on the 14th day, 1 found myself at the plantation of Mr. Lee. 1 had suffi cient strength to cross his fence, but when I walked a few rods, I fonnd I was not able to proceed further in the open field —my feet could not bear the heat of the earth, and the sun seemed to exhaust the little remaining strength which I had tell. I stretched myself on the ground and hollow ed at the top of my voice. Mr. Leo came to my assistance. He teceived mo with the utmost of kindness, furnished mo with clothing, as I was literally naked, and be stowed on me every attention which my de plorable situation required. From ►he Richmond (Vo.)

He was scarce ly cold in the grave, before with one accord they opened upon him their batteries of vil lification and traduction. Some of them even anticipated that solemn and melancho ly event, and sought to embitter his last moments by heralding, in staring capitals, and with a spirit which could only actuate demons—that "the infamous Charles Ogle was about to die," dic. When the clod had fallen upon the coffin, the fact was announced with a shout of triumph, Accom panied every opprobious epithet which a copious Billingsgate vocabulary could sup ply. When Congress met, the game of detraction was removed from the news pa- pers to the Hall of Representatives. These honorable gentlemen seemed' to take plea sure in blackening the name of the dead, and in harrowing up the feelings of the liv ing. The motion of a Mr. Snyder, when the bill for the relif of. Mrs. Harrison was • pending, cannot have escaped the recollec tion of the reader. The severe and just castigation, which that individual received at the hands of a colleague, would, we had supposed, have dotered all others from fol lowing in his footsteps. But it appears that it failed of that effect. We observe in the Washington papers, that (to berrew one of Col. Joe Watkins' phrabes) " a black mouth Locofoco from Tennessee, Mr. Wet terson, had revivedlihe subject, and intro duced a letter published in this parr, to give countenance to his defamation'. That same letter has been a fruitful topic 'fur Lo cofoco outbursts ever since its publication. It has'been going the round 'of the' whole Locofoio press—with exclaniatiOn: '•See what a Whig' says to Ogle's lies!" Now we have but a word to say to Mr- Water son and the rest touching this letter: /t was not written by a Whig—and if it were, there is no conflict between its statement, and those of Mr. Ogle. The difference is only apparent, not real, Mr. Ogle gave from official vouchers, the list of gorgeous acticles purchaied by the late dynasty for the White frouset—The letter describes the present tattered and dilapidated condi• lion of those articles. The statement' of the former referred to the purchase; that of the latter, to the bad usage, which had soil. ed and dimmend their luitre. And this so far from extenuating the original prodigali ty, man aggravation of it. We beg of ,these jackalls of faction, it ' they , are determined to persist iu their at rocinug attack %man the•dead, that in future y forbear in connect . Oita purer, or any of enrrespondentg, eyen thnugh thee he Locus, in any wise with their inhuman and unchristian perf,ectitiun. ovs.. Mg CA9 E e stated yes tcirdnv that the Supreme ('curt of the State of New York, had decided this case adverse to the discharge of . the priqnner. It was then our intention to furnish our readers with an ahstraci of the numerous points and arguments embraced in the decision, but these being for the most part such as the general reader would take comparatively little interest in, we have concluded not to encounter the labor of the tusk. The pri soner was indicted for murder in Niagara county, in the State of New York, was arraigned and, after pleading not guilty, was committed for trial. The Revised Statutes of New York allowed him to be brought before the Supreme Court, under u writ of habeas corpus, and under the same statutes, he was further allowed to allege any fact to show either that his de tention was unlawful, or that he was enti tled to his discharge. In the exercise of this right ha made affidavit that he was absent and did not at all participate in the alleged offence; and that if present and act ing, it was in the necessary defence of his country against a treasonable insurrection to whiCh Durfee, the person killed, was act ing in aid. The Counsel took the further ground that the prisoner was acting, ifat all, under the orders of the public authorities of Canada—that the act had been ratified by. the British Government—that therefore it was a case which belonged exclusively to the forum of nations, and was beyond the jurisdiction of the courts. The Court deemed the facts sworn to by the prisoner as being mere matters of 3Vl 'llene() upon the issue of not guilty, were of opinion that they could not be made avails ble on habeas corpus, even for letting the prisoner to bail, much less for ordering his unqualified discharge. Here the Court were at first inclined to rest their decision, but the counsel having maintained with groat zeal, that these facts deprived the criminal courts of the jurisdiction over the subject matter, they were induced to LA further into the nature of the transaction out of which the indictment had arisen. They then proceed to make a very min• uto examination into the case in all its bear ings, and cite a great many authorities to sustain them in their decisions of the vari ous points discussed. The main ground upon which the case is put, seems to be, that no war existing between the two no tions, neither public, private, nor mixed,the .destruction of property and the taking of life, under the circumstances, were unlaw ful and rendered the offender amenable to the criminal laws of the State. The ground is also taken that England cannot, by rad fying 'and approving the transaction, change its character,and make that war which was murder in time of peace. Nor can she in time of peace send her men into our terri tory and render them impervious to our laws, by embodying them and putting arms in their hands. • We cannot now say what course the pro ceeding will next take. The prisoner may elect to go before a jury ,and rest his defence upon the facts which he has sworn to, or the case may be carried on an appeal to the Court of Errors of the State of Now York, and thence to the Supreme Court of the United States. We learn from the papers received this morning, that McLeod remains for the present in the custody of the sheriff ofOnei da county, where the Supreme Court sat, and that the future course of proceeding has not yet been determined on. McLeod it is said, is anxious to' o to a jury forth with; should he , deterrnme on this course, the application for a writ of error on the judgment of the Supreme Court, as contem plated by his counsel,will,of course, heehaw doned.—Baltimore Pat. num FLOIIIDA.-Our readers will learn with great pleasure that intelligence has been received at the Department of War, showing at once the activity and zeal of the troops engag ed in the Florida war, and the enterprise o f the intelligent and efficient officer, Col. WouTu, who now commands them. On the 25th altimo five columns, fully equipped to operate by land and water, as circumstances might require, were put in motion. The first (under Lieut. Colonel CLAIM%) moving from Fort Brook towards Fort Cooper, on the Witblacooche, scour ed the cove of that name, and on its route discovered an Indian town of some fifty huts, several extensive planting grounds, all of which were destroyed, and some ca noes, cattle, hogs, dm. were secured. Soy. oral Indians were also captured. The sec ond column, (under Lieutenant Colonel RxtEv,) with canoes, penetrated the Char la.a-popka, found the enemy's islands and planting-grounds, and destroyed the:latter, which wore quite extensive. A third col. MU (tinder Lieut. Colonel Loomis) moved on Fort Cooper. A fourth (under Captain Kean) is operating on the Ocklawaha er, vi.hielfliad been ascended as far as Fort rowle; and a fifth (uridei Captain MILLER) ill on the Hornasassawand its vicinity. By these .combined •and simultaneous I movements it is not doubted that the ene my's strongholds and planting grounds, not already destro)ed, will be, visited, and the whole extensive district of country between the Gulfand the St. John's, snuth of Mica nopy, and north of Tampa Bay, will be tra versed with effect by the troops, and to the 'great annoyance, if not to the destruction, • •of the Indians inhabiting tt. • Coacoochee and - hie band, who, our ren ders may, recollect, .were centered some tin> since, and sent to Now Orleans, have iron recondeeted, by the orders of Col.

P:PThe Washington Correspondent of the New York Herald, a loco foco paper,has a letter in reference to the movement in this state in favor of Gen. Scott. The fol lowing is an extract: Washington ' July 3,.1641. . The Scott movement in Pennsylvania has been made by Thaddeus Stevens, ono of the most extraordinary men of the age: Mr. Stevens is hot exactly satisfied with the ex isting state of things. His 'friends were extremely anxious that he should be placed at the head of the Post Office Department; and if his personal fitness and party service constitnte a claim, he was undoubtedly entitled to it; but Penrose, a third rate po. Mini intriguer, an apostate from the Jack son party, a craven, who sneaked away from his post at Harrisburg, when a mob surrounded the Capitol, a man without in fluence and of the most ordinary talents, managed to wriggle himself into the good graces of General Harrison, and Mr. Stevens' friends were circumvented and overthrown. Gen. Harrison said, when organizing his Cabinet, that he owed more to Mr.. Stevens than to any other maq in the country—that without:his, assistance the Harrisburg nomination would have been differenti_ but he gave way to the misrepre. sentations of alew demagogues, and Penrose obtained a subordinate office in the Treas. ury Department. In this Scott movement, Mr. Steveni seeks to fortify the whip party in Pennsyl- Vania. He has selected Scott for the Pres idency, for the same reason that the Jews selected Saul, because he is a head taller than any of his countrymen.• Whether he is seriously determined to run the General, is a matter of eome doubt.. If he is in earnest_ about it, be can secure the State of Pennsyl vania, and that is a good capital to go upon. Mr. Stevens can• do more in•his own state than any othpr man ii the country can per form in any other State. He. is a man of extraordinary versatility of •talent, skilful, wary; and adroit as a politician, infinite in resources, persevering and inflexiblein res olution, he sympathises in all the wants and feelings of the people, and knows every avenue to •the public heart. Ardent and Rincero . in his attachments, he is strong in the afflictions alibi friends, and no maq has a more efficient troupe around him. Copying the above, the Pittsburg Amer icon appropriately remark.: g‘Tlre credit Mr. Stevens can claim in this matter, if re ally urging the claim of General &nit, is that of knowing better than most men the feelings and wishes of the people. This is one of the great secrets in politics that so few attend to, and is the reason that so ma ny are left to wonder at their-wadat of suc cess. The feeling in Peonsy . lvaniaia favor of Gen. Scott is decided and general, and if Mr. Stevens is in favor of the Gornio3non of that gentleman, it is as much from a knowledge of that fact as any other comm." Pon Tug STASI AIM IIiE2rELICAS sasses. Al a meeting of the Board of Managers of the Bible Society of Pennsyliania College and the Theological Seminary, the undersigned were ap pointed a committee to prepare a bri e f abstract of its operations, in supplying Adams County with the Sacred Scriptures. Had we ONlStaltal oar own feelings, they would forbid us giving pub licity to the humble, exertions cf its members.— But we deem it due to the many friends of the Bible cause, who aided us by donations and kind ly acts of hospitality, to present a brief statement of our operations, and the condition in which we found the County. As the books ordered from the parent Society in Philadelphia did not reach Gettysburg till near the close of December, the most reversible time for distribution was already past. However the County was divided into districts of laber,vehicles were obtaineilOand the work fairly commenced; when an unexpected fall of snow rendered the roads impassable, and compelled us to return. In Juno the work was again commenced under a , clearer sky, and in four days eflabor the distribu tion in the County was competed. The instructions received from the Parent So ciety were: ..to supply every destitutifsmity with a copy of the Scriptures, at the low price of 50 cents for the English, and 75 cents for the Ger man Bibles; and, in case of inability to purchase, a copy should be presented." With these direc tions tho distributors visited from house to house, and, in eases of destitution. endeavored to ass with all possible prudence. The greatest destitution was found among the mountain.% and, sometimes, a settlement of five or six families would be with out a copy of the Scriptures! Indeed, it was painful to witness the utter ignorance of many of even the existence of the Bible !! By some we were received as angels from heaven, and the tears of gratitude which rolled down massy a cheek, were the eloquent thanks we received.— , Others did not care for .-us or our boots; =bile many others "did not need a Bible:" they had 'sprayer books, guides, and other good reading." In all, nearly three thousand faraihes have been visited by the distributors. Of this ncratv.r. 459 were either partially or wholly destitute of the Bible:—All of whom were supplied, except :hese who refused to receive it. To those gentlemen who gave us dacalons and counsel in seeking out and supplying the des i lute, who generously made donations of money to the Bible cause, and entertained us free of charge during the week of distributLan, ne t-...rs"cr oar individual thanks and those of tL Snarly we represent. In the same blessed volume yen Lime assisted to distribute, it is written.: ..11112-niz.verr shall give a cup of water in my aa=c, heczasc ye belong to Christ, shall not lase his revrand." To those, on the other ban .% vsha not ody re fused us the common hospitalities of 112 e, Liar, measuring others by themselves , , reganici . us as speculators and deceivers.

The Sun states that from 70 to 80 buildings were consumed among which were the most valuable in town; besides about an equal number of out houses. Nearly the whole of the seost business part of the town was consumed, including the Saratoga County Bank, Epis copal Church, Mansion Rouse, and Acade my. At one time the destruction of the bridge over the Hudson appeared Inevitable and nothing saved it but the exertion of the Troy and West Troy firemen. Waterford having but one fire-engine, and that being almost useless. The fire wad finally arrest ed at the house of John Stewart, a brick building a few rods west of the bridge-- The books of the Saratoga County Bank were saved. The specie remains in the vault, to the amount ofslo,ooo. Mr. Tit comb, a butcher, fell from a roof, and is not expected to live. The whole loss is not less probably than $150,000, a portion of which is insured, though we have not 'emir ed to what amount. ... maal i l . al ' ....
