TAIIAFFAIR BETWEEN MESSRS.
BRIINT AND CLAY.
*MO @Otiosity having been expressed in
trehltioa to the Card recently published et
Washington by W. L. Brent, Esq., and
briefly noticed by us in the Inquirer of yes.
terday—we proceed to give the chief points
of the statement as made by Mr. Brent.--
Ho cotnineuees by saying that he publish
es the correspondence with great reluctance
—but is compelled to do so by the many
unfounded rumours that have reached the
public ear. That if he could have obtained
'soy other satisfaction, he would not have
pursued this course.
In thertrst letter, Mr. Brent asked Mr.
Clay, if he threw the influence of his name
in favor of Fendall'a application for the of
of District Attorney for Washington?
Mr. Clay replies that during the Presi
dency of General Harrison, he adopted the
rule of non-interference in official appoint
menet, to which he had adhered generally
since the accession of Mr. Tyler to the
Presidency. But that about tour or five
weeks ago, in consequence of his long and
intimate acquaintance with Mr. Pendell,
and in reply to a letter received from him
at Ashland, requesting a testimonial or re
commendation in his behalf, he (H. Clay)
addressed a strong letter of recommend&
non in his favor to President Tyler for the
office of Attorney of this District.
Colonel Brent retorts, and say. that Mr.
Clay's declaration cannot be reconceiled
upon any principles, with his language to
him (Col. B.) We here quote what ap
pears to us the most important passage:
"You observed to me, that if you had the
giving of the - office, you would offer it to
me, in preference to any other, if Gen.
- Jones would not accept , it; and in ti subse.
fluent conversation, when speaking of Mr.
Pendell being an applicant; you positively
stated to me that you could not and would
not interfere in this matter between Mr.
Pendell and myself, and we stood in the
same relation towards you, as personal and
political friends. After holding such lan.
guage to tne, and afterwards taking a part
in favor of Mr. Fendall,and ofcourae against
ins, by which I have lost that office, offer
ed to me by my old friend General Harri
son, as has been determined by President
Tyler, I can no longer stand or feel towards
you as a personal friend; and I conceive it
right to say 'so to you, because I view your
conduct as snsincere, inconsistent with the
high , estimate 1 haie heretofore placed upon
your character, and such - as no honorable
man ought to have pursued." _
When told by General n a
letter now before me, that from you Harrison,he had
"experienced only ungenerous treatment in
requital for years of devoted service," I
little thought that I would have occasion,
in my own case, to make the same coin.
plaint.
That you had the right to prefer Mr.
Pendell to me, "and to recommend him, I
do not question, nor would I complain of
it, had you not stated to me that you would
not interfere in this matter. My complaint
is not against the recommendation, but
against the perfidy of the act, after saying
that you would not interfere. I have al.
ways conSidered you es a friend, and for
you I have entertained stronger feelings of
Personal and political friendship, than for
any man living, as my acts and . conduct for
nearly twenty years of my life have shown,
and as is well known to the public."
hlr. Clay returns this letter, and in reply
says:
"It contains language which you ought
not to employ, and 1 ought not to receive;
and! am 'unwilling that, is a moment when
you are disappointed and mortified, intent
perate.and harsh expressions which escape
you, should be allowed by me to break off
our friendship.
If, some days hence, when you are dis
engaged, you will afford me an opportunity
I think I can make such explanations, in
regord to my agency in the appointment of
Mr. Fends'', as ought to satisfy you. In
your present temper of mind, I shall °fru
none. '
Colonel Brent refuses to withdraw his
'charges,.retures the letter, and publishes•
the whole correspondence, with nearly two
columns of remarks. These remarks it is
"unctecossary to give. They are denuncia
tory in the strongest degree. The mistake
made by . Colonel Brent was in refusing to
listen to the proffered explanations of the
distinguished individual, who, despite the
-unkind, letter shove quoted, still manifested
a disposition to do him justice. Col. Brent
concludes his Communication tb the public
thus:
"Cask the public to contrast the bough
ty, supercilious tone of Mr. Clay's fire note
to me, written in the pompous third person,
without one word of "explanation," or one
softening feature to qualify the bold avowal
of guilt, with the mild tones used by him
in his second one, in the simple first per
son singular, after my insulting letter to
biw. Smarting under the lash, which 1
applied with all my .strength, he prates
about "explanation," when I should reach
a lbettei temper of mind;' and he artfully
seeks to , get a withdrawal of my tarn/ling
,language, by returning my .note, not in
contempt, but in- extravagant friendship.—
As he had not offered his explanations—
and 1 could conceive of none which could
clear him, after ouch an avowal—l deter.
mined he should not obtain the advantage
besought by returning my letter; and upon
the very same day I wrote him my note of
22d June enclosing to him again rriy letter
ofthe,2oth June, thus fastening upon him
the,atest approbrious and insulting language
that Can pass between honorable men.. Ho
received that • note, with *a enclosure.
pun 'the 23 ofJune, and from that moment
tp ttie , prcsent (more than four weeks hav
ing elapsed) 1, have heard nothing f rom
him upon the subject. After his &dims to
notice my language, as a pan of honour
. sbisiii4 have noticed it; and; considering
that be has no ground upon which he
Gould haw honorable . avoided the last
alternative left him; 1 am constrained to
gol o -oglAclyobat henceforward I must
consider him as out of the pare of honor—
first, because he has avowed himself false to
his plddge; and, secondly, because he has
rested so long under the most injurious im
putations. I have said nothing in this pub
lication more offensive than in our private
correspondence; and, if goaded by the pub
licity of the thing, he should seek to re
trteve his lost chivalry, I feel constrained,
by self:respect, to say, it is too late. I
have waited patiently for a summons,which
as an honourable man, I cannot now listen
to. I say, emphatically, that I can take
no other notice of Henry Clay, Senator
from Kentucky, than to correct any mis
representations he may attempt, in his des
peration. to make.
Your fellow citizen,
WM. L. BRENT.
Washington City, 23d July, 1841.
We think that Col. Brent will gain noth•
ing by this expose. Mr. Clay would have
been a madman indeed, had ho involved
himself in a duel under the circumstances
above delailed.
The Globe of yesterday contains the fol
lowing:
SUPPLEMENTAL CAM.
In my "Curd" on the 23d inst. 1 stated,
that after Mr. Clay had "rested so long un
der the most injurious imputations, without
demanding reparation" as "an honourable
man," I could not listen to his call, should
he mako one, after my publication, and that
I would take no other notice of him, than
to correct any misrepresentations he may
attempt to make." In makiug this decla
ration, I proceeded according to the strict
rules of the "code of honor" in such mat
ters; and I spoke of myself "as an honora
ble man" conforming to that "code." It
was not my wish that Mr. Clay or the pub
lic should understand by these remarks,
that I had not the mainr to waive the rule.
For fear that such construction may be giv
en to my declaration, I say, that whatever
others might dotermino in a similar case, 1
hold myself open to Mr. Clay's call.

AN APPALLING SCENE ON SOARD A SLA
VER.--Illet British brig of war Fawn, re
cently arrived at Berbice, having in charge
a Portuguese built brig; which had been
captured as a slaver, after a chase of 8
hours. The logbook of the Fawn furnishes
the following details:
On the 19th of February, 1841, lat. 22
30, long, 40 west, Cacupos, on the Coast of
Brazil,a bout 18 miles,observed a large brig
standing in for the land,altered our course so
as to cut her offtfpossible. On approaching,
she appeared not to have the least idea of
our being a man.of-war—allowed her to
close within range of our 32 pounder—fired
a gun over her, and , another as quick as
possible ahead—she then up with her helm
attempted to run, but appeared in great
confusion.
We continued to throw the shot over,
ahead, and astern of her, without intention
of striking, as we were positive of slaves
being on board; after a short time she was
increasing her distance; Lieut. Foote then
&lammed to put a shot into her hull, but
with great regret, on account of the unfor
tunate beings on board. Shots were then
thrown close under her stern twice—a third
was about to be fired, when we observed
her round to: In about 20 minutes'we
came up and boarded her. The slaves
were all b?low with the hatches on; on
turning them up, a scene presented itself,
enough to sicken the heart even of a Portu
guese.
The living, the dying, and the dead,
huddled all in one mass. Some unfortu
nates in the most disgusting state ofsmall
pox, in the confluent state, covered from
head to foot, distressingly ill, with oph
thalmia, a few perfectly blind; others living
skeletons, with difficulty crawled from be.
low, unable to bear the weight of their mis
erable bodies. Mothers with young infants
hanging at their breasts, unable to give
them a drop of nourishment. Flow they
brought them thus tar appeared astonish
ing. All were perfectly naked. Their
limbs were excoriated from lying on the
hard plank fin so long a period. On going
below the stench was •insupportable. How
beings could breathe such an atmosphere
and live, appeared incredible. Several
were under the plank,. which was called
the deck, dYing—one dead.
We proceeded to Rio Janeiro with the
prize. On the passage we lost 13, in the
harbor 12, from small pox and debility—a
number also died on board the recovery
ship "Crescent." After clearing the hold,
and fumigating the brig; it was determined
by Mr. Ousley, the British Minister, to
send the brig with a part of her cargo, for
adjudication, to the nearest Colony, under
the command of Mr. G. Johnstone, mato
of the Fawn. We sailed an the 19th of I
March, with 180, well 'provided with inedi
cities, and directions in what manner to use
them. Tapieca and limo, juice were also
provided. Notwithstanding, all tip care

that a small crew could bestew On them
we unfortunately lost 20 ; chiefly f
scurvy and general debility. This for
tunate brig left Bahia fort, on the co st of
Benguela, with 510 negroes! and 13 days
after, or her capture, she had but 375!

MISERY IN ENOLAND"-At a late Man
chester Corn Law Meeting, 800 people,
including a sprinkling of ladies, were pros•
oat: H. Smith, Esq. President of the Chem
bar of'Comnierce
"I bad lately the honor of being one of
a deputation to wait upon her Majesty's
Ministers, and we thought it desirable to
furnish information. Tee facts ascertained
were:—that in the township of Manchester,
in 1830, there were 32 empty warehouses
—there are now 340. In 1836 there were
in Mancnester 300 or 400 empty houses-7
there are now about 2600. (Hear, hear.) .
In Stockport, there are 2000 empty houses;
in Oldham, 1000; in Bolton, 1200; in Bu•
ry, 1200; and in Salford, 1400."
The Rev. Daniel Hearne, said—
"He went lately to edminister the conso
lation-of religion to a poor dying woman.
On arriving at her bedside she seemed to
be alone. He asked her if she was alone.
'Johnny, said she, and immediately a
sack in the corner of the room began to
move, and then another began to move, and
out of these tumbled the good woman's sons,
their only bed being the inside of the sacks
filled with shavings. [Hear, hoar.] Ho

men in want of temporal comforts were but
ill•ftted to receive the consolations of re

lips, in his parting breath."
A BraEr HISTORY or Cm:la.—China
is an empire of Asia, the most pnpnlous
and ancient in the world, being 1350 miles
long, and 1( 30 wide. Populatinn v grom 300,
000,000 to 360,000,000. Thy' capital is
Pekin, with 1,100,000 inhabitants; Nankin,
1,000,000 and Canton, 1,100,000. China,
produces tea, 50,000,000 lbs. of which are
annually exported from Canton, the only
port which foreigners are allowed to visit.
Silk, cotton, rice, gold, silver, and all the
necessaries of life, are found in China. The
arts and manufactures in many branches
are in high perfection, -but stationary, as
I Improvements are now prohibited. The
government Ise despotic monarchy. Rev
enue, 200,000,000; army, 800,000 men.—
The religion is similar to Buddhism, the
chief god being Foh. The Chinese incul
cate the morals of Confucius, their great
philosipher, who was born 550 B. C. The
great wall and canal of China, are among
the mightiest works ever achieved by man.
The foreign commerce of China amounts
to $35,000,000 or 840,000,000 annually,
the whole of which is transacted with ap-
pointed agents, called "Hong Merchants."
Foreigners aro allowed to live at certain
stations or "factories" below Canton. The
chief trade is with England. The first
American ship reached China in 1784;
now the annual average of United States
ships visiting Canton, is 32. The revenue
derived from foreign commerce by the em•
parer, varies from $4,000,000 to 6,000,000.
According to Mr. Dunn,the opium smuggled
into China, to the injury of the people,
amounted to $20,000,000 annually for sev•
oral years past, much of which was paid for
In specie, which found its way to London.
The Chinese language has nearly 40,000
characters or lettere. The Chinese are
eminent for agriculture, and once every
year the Emperor ploughs a piece of
ground himself, in the presence of the peo
ple.—Bicknell'a Reporter.
A. NEW MODE OF EARNING A DOLLAR.
—An amusing incident occurred in New
York on Tuesday, 13th inst. A man asked
alms of a gentleman who, in return asked
him "why be did not go to work?" Wil-
lingly 1 would, replied the man, if l could
get any thing to do, and not be choice a•
bout the kind either. Very well, said the
gentleman, you shall, be supplied; and, in
furtherance of his charitable object, brought
a brick, which he gave him, directing him
to take it in one hand and carry it to the
pump at the entrance of the Park and lay it
doiiin; then to take it up with the other and
bring it to the place from which he started;
this was to be repeated ten Ileum, when he
would receive a dollar. ThO man willing
ly took the brick, performed the task, and
was paid his dollar. The condition was
that he should walk at the rate of at least
five miles an hour; and the first hour, by
actual measurement, it was found that he
had gone six miles and almost three quar
ters. Up to 12 o'clock, (5 hours) he had
finished 27 miles. He commenced again
at-one, and finished the days work at six.

VERY LIKE TREABON.—The New Y6rk

in Monticelo, in that Territory, not well
satisfied with the ordinary manner of celo

to call a meeting of the friends of the

over the prospecting glory ofa Potomac

ARRSSTOF Tu inurececo - GREAT Barra
RODBER.—The Louisville Advertiser of
the 21st says: An individual, named Daw
son, was arrested in Louisville and
brought up for examination. Ile was so
clearly indentified by the officers of the
Bank of Kentucky and others as to author
ize his commitment to jail until intelligence
could be sent to the other institutions de
frauded by him. It is said that a black
man employed about the Bank identified
him so closely by marks on his person,
which he observed on the person who rob
bed the Bank, as to leave but little doubt of
his being Tag MAR. Means will bo used
to ascertain the facts. In the mean time
it is not sest to place too much reliance on
present appearances."
The Louisville Gazette says the man
gave his name as J. 11. Silvester and was
recommitted at bis own request, to allow
him to obtain evidence from Cincinnati
which would establish his innocence.
Our readers will recollect the forgeries
which were committed on the Bauk ofiCen
tacky, at Louisville, the Commercial Bank
at Cincinnati, and on a Mr. Little, at New
York. It was for these offences this man
is arrested.
THE ILLINOIS MURDEIIEII9.—TIIO Cin
cinnati Gazette says: "The murder of the
horse thieves in Ogle county, a brief ac
count of which we published a few days
ago, has most probably been followed ore
this by the shedding of more blood. The
Galena Gazette of the Bth inst. contains
the following iutelligenco:
"LATEST.— We have been informed
from various sources, that Daniel Driscoll,
together with Aiken, have both been arrest
ed. Driscoll had bee. tried, and was to
have been shot day before yesterday at
three o'clock. We have not learned how
they disposed of Aiken."
To this we must add, that the printing
office of "Rockford Star," a paper in the
vicinity of the minders, which had the in
dependence to denounce those concerned
in them, was mobbed on the night of the
sth, and in great part destroyed!
This im a very natural end to the unnatu
ral beginning- The press is the palladium
of liberty. The despotism of the mob can
not prevail, and its freedom continue. The
two are antagonists —as opposite as night
and day—and one or the other must full. In
Ogle county, the mob, as we have seen, is
triumphant; therefore the press HAD to be
silenced!"
TIM POST OPTICS AND TII6 PRESS—
THE DUTY OF POSTDASTER.9--RESPONSI
ntunt.--The able editor of the Louisville
Journal slates that it has been every where
hold by court that, in 'an action for Sib"
scription money, it is sufficient to prove
that the defendant took the paper from the
post office. It makes no difference wheth
er he ever bubscribed at all,so that he re•
ceives the paper from the office. If one to
whom a paper is sent refuse to take it from
the offiice, the law makes it the duty of the
Postmaster to notify the publisher of the
fact; and shonld the Postmaster neglect to
give this notice, he becomes liable for the
subscription money. This also has been
decided in all parts of the country.
These are the most material points of
law bearing upon the newspaper business.
We may remark that between subscriber
and publisher, the trust is all on the side of
the latter, and, theretore, that subscription
debts ought to be classed by debtors among
their 'debts of honor,' while judges ought
to be liberal in construing tho law and the
evidence in such cases. It ought not to he
forgotten that generally the only practical
means of proving the length of time a pa
per was sent is the postmaster, and there
fore the.publibher ought not to he held to
prove the exact time. The general recol
lection of the Postmaster ought to be conclu•
sive as to this point.—Sat. Courier.
Nsnitow Escsre.--Captain Drew, the
rascal who destrooed the Caroline, run a
,deoperate chance, a short time ego, of fall
ing into the hands of the authorities of New
York. He was passing on the St. Law
rence in a steamboat, when the Captain of
the boat unexpectedly announced his inten
tion of putting mat Ogdensburgh. Captain
Drew remonstaated, and pointed out the
consequences which might follow his being
arrested in the States, but in was in vain;
in went the steamer to Ordensbnrgh, but
fortunately for Capt. D.'s neck she wont
out again without it being noised abroad
that he was aboard. The Journal of Com
merce, in noticing the fact, advises the
Captain to give a "liberal margin" to the
combustibles of the northern frontier. If
he has a regard for his own safety he will
take advice. If caught, he will certainly
be made to pay the penalty of violating the
laws of New York.
COLORED POPULATION IN CANADA.---II
is computed by the Montreal Courier, that
ere are about 20,000 negroes in Canada
w • have escaped from slavery in the
Sou hem States- An attempt is making to
ind ce the colored population to emigrate
to amaica. The results of the abolition
of slavery in the West Indies have been,
that thousands of former slaves have be
come freeholders; and such is the scarcity
of labor, and the high premium it com
mands in the West India market, that the
Legislature of the !shed of Jamaica passed
last year an act offering a free passage,
under the most favorable circumstances, to
all persons willing to emigrate to that Colo
ny. J. W. Dunscomb, has been appointed
agent for Canada, with authority to assist
such as are willing to emigrate.

FRAUDS OF THE PORTERITS'.•-The Erie
Gazette, in. speaking of the exposition of
the system of plunder on the Conneaut
Line which he made a few weeks since,
says. since our publication exhibiting the
partiality of the Commissioners in their
allotment of contracts on the Erie exten
sion, we have been curious to compare the
contract prices with the estimate of M. W.
Roberta Principle Engineer, of Nov. Ist,
1839, for the same work, and find they
exceed the estimate several thousand dol•
lass. Neither the "lowest and the best
bidders," nor the "estimate of the Engl.-
neor," bad any bearing with the Commis
sioners; both were alike disregarded in
their determination to reward political fa
vorites, and through them to change the
vote of our county, as well as to preserve
their ascendancy as a party in the State.
On Locks Nos. 70 and 71 alone, and Sec
tions, 13, 17, 24, 20, 30, 32, 33, 51, and
52, the contract prices amount to 6120,
792 60, while the estimate of Mr. Roberts
was only 897,808 40, making twenty eight
thousand nine hundred and eighty-three
dollars and eighty cents, literally thrown
away on eleven contracts over and above
the estimate, a fraction less than which the
work was bid for by as responsible men as
the State can produce."—liar. Tele.

ded, as a boarder, a young lady at the
house of Mrs. Birnbaum, in second st. near
Race; she was engaged at the millinery
busines.,, and as roost of our pretty young
milliners aro not slow in 'securing a beau,
we must give credit to our young lady for
her aptness in following suit. An acquain.
tance was accordingly contracted, which
ripened into a courtship, and finally ended in
marriage. A few weeks since a bill was
handed to Mr. Martin from Mrs. Birnbaum
charging him with having burnt her wood
and coal, her candles, her oil, and n num
ber of et ceteras, during the courtship of
his wife. Mr. Martin declined to settle
such a singular demand, and the lady accor
dingly instituted a suit against him for the
amount, before Alderman Brazier. The
Alderman, however, who is disposed to en
courage young folks, decided in favor of the
defendant—Ledger.

Tim FALLS OF NIAGAUA.—The steam
boats and rail cars that play between this
city and the falls, and the Hotel keepers
there had quite a benefit yesterday. It
was reported that two men in a boat from
Chippewa had been drawn into the ra,tistless
current, that one went over the falls, and
the other had succeeded in Retting a foot
ing on one of the sisters, three islets on the
west side of Goat Island. Feelings of
terror and sympathy weto strongly aroused
and hundreds went down to see the unhap
py man doomed to the alternative 'of taking
the awful plunge or eternal imprisonment.
One accouut says that he was first discover,
ed by the smoke of his fire. It is horrible
to think of a fellow being thus exposed,
with the "live thunder" of the cataract
roaring in his ears, in plain bight of those
most dear to him, and yet as far removed
from human help as he would be in nnotli
er world. There may be reason for the
indulgence of our sympathies, but from the
fact stated byi. the penny press, that
rope bad been thrown to him whereby a
boat bad been sent, in which he declined
returning, we have a shrewd suspicion
that one who could get on knows how to
get off.
P. S.—Since the above was in typo, we
have learned that the man has got off by
means of a rope connecting his rocky islet
and Goat island. _ The boat swept down
within a few feet of the precipice.—Buffu

A ANN - manta MINISTER.—The editor
of the New York Baptist Register says he
listened to a discourse a few sabbaths since,
from Father Harvey, now in the 107th year
of his ago. He still retains the possession
of his mental faculties. His enunciation is
distinct and his physical powers vigorous,
and he appears to be hot more than eighty
years old.
SENTIENCE OF DEATH.— A, negro slave
named Hamilton, was tried in New Orleans
recently, upon the charge of having corn
mitred an aggravated assault on -a police
officer, and was found guilty and sentenced.
There is a clause in the "Black Code" of
Louisiana which provides that, "whenever
any slave shall have grievously and wilfully
wounded or mutilated any white person; al
though it prove to be the .first offence, such

SAGACITY or A Poo.—The
,Itiehmend
Star relates the following nn the author
ity of a gentleman engaged in the affair,
which plainly shows tho remarkable sagac
ity of the dog:
Oa Monday . ,last, a dog, belonging to
this gentle= ia accidentally fell into a well:
and for. the moment, gave. hini up fur lost.
But as a sort -of desperate effort to save
the dog, he directed a boy to let a repo
be had, down into the well,. in hope that
possibly it might catch around his leg or
neck. No sooner, however, did the rope
come - within reach, than the dog seized
It with his teeth, and the parties above
finding it had secured- him c began• to draw
up; when about half way up, he lost his
hold and fell back. Again the rope_ was
let down, and again the dog seized it, and
he was drawn nearly to the mouth of the
well, when his bite gave way, and the
third time he fell into the water. Once
more the rope was let . down, and this
time the dog took so thorough a hold, that
lie was .brought triumphantly up and when
sot down . in safety, shook 'the water from
his hair, and wagged his tail, apparently as
proud of the exploit as the other parties
were gratified with it. The circumstance
is a curious and interesting one.
"RITNER, BUR BOWE% STEVS,I3."-110
Locofoco editors have hit upon a now
plan of conducting the campaign. In
stead of saying any thing in favor of Pre
vious Pardon Porter, which we admit
would be a task • rather beyond human
powers, they have broUght into action
certain cabalistic words which like the
"double, double toil and trouble" of the
wierd sisters,•are expected to work uith
wontiprous potency in gulling the people.
Thus on nil =sides we hear nothing bot
Ritner, Stevens,
.Burrowes;•Burrowes, Ste
yens, Rimer; Ritner, 'Burrowes, Stevens;
Stevens, Burrowes, Ritner; with occasion
ally a variation to Burrowes, Ritner,
Stevens; or Stevens, Ritner, Burrowes.
This with a large quantity .of "The Buck
shot War," is relied upon to cover the
prodigality .of Portet's office holders, and
hide from the people his Previotis Pardons
and other tyrannirical violations of Con
stitution and Laws. Poor follows—" From
our souls we pity them." It is positively
too much to compel the party to support a
man for office, whom they know to be every
way incapable to perform its duties.—Lan.
Union.
INDIAN BALL PLAY.—The Red River
Republican has the following:
We understand that a ball play lately
came off near the Calcasieu, in this wish,
between the Bulexe and Choctaw Indians.
The parties bet every thing they were poe.
sessed of in the world, saddles, bridles,
and - even the clothes on their backs, inclu
ding their shirts. The Choctaws proved
triumphant, and their opponents surren.
dared them every thing they had, and went
hnme naked. While the play was going
on, the squaws got to betting among them
selves, and the Bulexe squaws soon found
themselves in the same fix as their lords.
YELLOW FLIES —lmmense• MOMS of
yellow flies infest Philadelpha and its
neighborhood this season. We are told
that no small alarm has been excited by
the circumstance in the minds of many
people, from the notion that these yellow
flies are the solemn precursors of the yel-
low fever. We hope the omen will prove
to have been missinterprotid, and that its
true signification, is that the banks will
soon pay out yellow gold. If there are
white flies mingled with the yellow,- it
must mean silver mixed with gold, if it
means any thing.—N. Y. Jour, of Com.
DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE PASSION.--.•
At New Orleans, on the 15th instant, on
inquest was held on the body of a woman.
by the name of Corri, living at the , corner
of St. Charles and Canal ate. It appears
she occupied the dwelling about a month,
and was on the point of moving, when a
dispute arose between the deceased and
the landlord, in which the landlord held her
during a paroxysm of passion. After the
subsidence of the fit and struggle,she called
for a glass of water, became insensible, and
was not heard to utter a weld until the
hour of her death.
MEACTIRING THE MAIL9.-ll is stated
that there is a postmaster in Arkansas who
does oat possess the 'accomplishment' of

DrAnnacat People need not be long
troubled with that disorder, so generally
prevalent at this season, commonly known
as the Summer or Bowel Coniplaiat, when
the certain remedy therefor may be found
on every man's table, in the shape of salt
and vinegar. Two tea spoonsfull of the
former, dissolved in a half a gill of the lat
ter, and swallowed at a draught, will in most
cases effect an instant cure. The second
dose, if needed, will assuredly accomplish
it. We aro ready to give our certificate

Graham s Magazine.
. Wo have received the August number of this
'very popular Magazine. The nnmber before us
is decidedly superior to any yet issued. The em
bellishments, which consist of a beautiful mezzo
limo engraving of "The Penitent Sou"—a plate
of the latest fashions—a luee-work pattern, with
medallion of colored flowers—and a piece of mu
sic, cost the enterprising proprietor $l3OO, exclu
sive of paper, printing, &c.
The terms of the Magazine are $3 for a single
copy, or $5 for two copies, invariably in advance.
Seven copies, yearly, will be furnished to clubs for
$l5 cash, or nine copies, from July, 1842, to Jan
uary, 1842. being the current volume of six
months, for $lO cosh, free of postage.
County Convention.
We ask the attention of our friends throughout
the county to the call of the County 'Committee,
preparatory to the formation "of a County Ticket.
We need hardly say that there aro manifold rea
sons why a prompt and general answer to the
cell should be made in every section of our
boundary. The issue which we aro about to
Make before the people is too important to be
met by a lax and lukewarm effort, or a tardy
and inefficient organization. Were not the
established and well tried ability of the hard fis
ted end true principled yeomanry of Adams
county a sufficient guarantee that they are reedy
to enlist in the good cause, and.do battle unwea-
:lei* in defence of their cherished principles—
the exalted character and starling worth of their
candidate,• Joni( Barrics, would bring every men
to his poet who rebored with us at the last groat
contest. Their work is but half done, until they
rescue tho state from the same destroying hands
from which they removed the National Govern
ment. The weight of the influence of Pennsyl
vania in that mighty ,change wee felt and tic-
knowledged, (however ungratefully it has been
regarded since.) Her power was then felt. Bo
not content then until her whole influence is
thrown in favor of the principles for which she
then declared, and which she is able to maintain.
Give the helm of State into the hands of a noble
defender of Pennsylvania interests—(a protective
Terifl;) an able advocate and , minister of the
Laws, and.while he will cause her ntme to be
respected—her sons to be honored—her polity
to be protected; her prostrate credit will he re
stored—her public improvements be resuscitated
from their now languishing condition, and the
whole body politic be placed in healthful action.
The first call is made—the note of preparation is
sounded—and all' will unite in performing the
duty which the interests of their State and them
selves requires at their bands,
Dome Squadron.
The Home Squadron Bill finally passed the
Senttio on Friday last. This . Bill makes an ap
proprietion for fitting out two frigates, two sloops,
two small vessels. and two armed steamers; to be
employed as a Home Squadron. It has already
passed the House, and wants but the signature of
the President.
Fiscal Baulk-,
Tho Bill to establish the Fiscal flank of the U.
States finally passed the Senate on Wednesday
last, by the following vote—yeas 20, nays 29. It
is thought the Bill will pass the House of Repie
sentativee by a largo majority. The National In
telligencer, remarking upon this subject, says:-
04 We have no means of judging with certainty of
the fate of the bill in the House; but, from the visi
ble satisfaction in the countenances end the audi-
Ide congratulation of members of that body, we
augur the passage of the bill by a decided tuejori
ty. Whether with or without amendment, we
cannot say. But we fool authorized, by appear

TeLsounPns.--A Mousier Gonon, now

tem of telegraphs, which is warmly cam
mended by the National Intelligencer:—
Two stations have been erected, the one at
Washington upon the top of' the east wing
of the Capitol; and the other at Blandens.

(the one which was established, as between
the various legatees, claiming under all
the wills found) emancipated all his slaveq,
s;,me three or four hundred, whose lobar is
said to be worth 810,000. It is now said
that the execution of this will is suspended,
because Mr. Beverly Tucker, who was
not a party to that contract,now conies for

and that he is now engaged in endeavor.

The New York Courier and Enquirer

has discovered a method of preparing the
seed of the tobacco and the cotton plants,
the sugar cane, wheat and corn, in such a
manner es to ensuie the plants from the
attacks of worms, etc. if true, this is in•

that it is practically tested the better.

TIIFJACKSONVILLE. BRANCLI BANK --
NEARLY ALL TILE MONEY RECOVERED - r=
A friend has permitted us to peruse a letter
received from Jacksonville, dated July
in which ►t is stated that the community
was, at the moment of writing, in the great.
est excitement, in consequence of the de.
velopements of the previous night; and a
public meeting was then being held.
Col. Mather, who hid been in Jackson
ville a day 'or two, received on Monday
evening an anonymous letter, informing
him where the money was concealed. He
kept this information an entire secret un
til nighi,andlate at night he came into town
with all the notes and the gold, but not the
silVer. He then told the President of the
'Bank and another gentleman, and enjoined
them to keep the matter a secret until time
was allowed him to get to Springfield.
At breakfast time, the disclosure was
made, and a meeting of the people called.
It is added--"about fifty men immedi
ately pursued Col. Mather, determined to
bring him back at all hazards. They left
under whip and spur, thinking to overtake
him before ho reached Springfield.
or left at four o'clock in the morning.
The letter states that H. D. Town,' the
Teller, had just bean arrested, on affidavit
made by Mr. Stacey,und was on his way
to the magistrate's office, followed by a
crowd, who talked of lynching, &c. The
writer expresses the opinion that nothing
will be found against,h►m, although public
opinion was the other way.
Advertising is to trade what steam is to
machinery, the grand propelling power;
and yet there are some persons so blind to
their interests as to ponder over an expen
diture which yields them from u hundred
to a thousand per cent.
McLEen — , As every ono pronounces
this name his own way, and very few the
right way,—some calling it McLoyd, oth
ers McLudd, and many pronouncig each
syllable distinctly, Mac-lee.ed, we would
observe; that the lll'Leetl's themselves
pronounce it Mac Loud.—lVortoik Herald.
Springfield, tho Capital vity of the loco
Inca Slate of Illinois, has not n school house
within its limits, according to the , Sanga•
won Journal," published in the town, and
the " Telegraph," a paper published in the
town of that name, says there never has
been a school house of any kind' within its
border. Such a Stato must bo ex . : , ,veted of
course to remain loco fcco.--.N. .- Y. Cou.
ALARMING TO PRINTERS.—The Tern
prance reform is going ahead, iind prin
ters must look out for tbeir little debts in
season. The editor of the Portland' Ad
vertiser says—" Our collector presented a
bill to a constable in this city, a day
. or two
since for payment, which be - deelined—of
tering as tin excuse that the temperance
reform in this city had ruined his (nisi
ness."
INSANITY.-All diseases,rvien insanity
and irritability of temper, proceed from de
praved or corrupt humors, which,circulating
with the blood, occasion pain and discord
in the human frame. It is clear, that by
perseverance in the use of Brandreth's
Vegetable Universal Pills, which is one
of the very best, and only proper purgative
medicine, insanity Und irritability of temper
can be cured, as well as all other diseases
depending open the pureness of the circu
hating fluid, the blood.
Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills
are knownly. the experience of thousands,
to perfectly cleanse the blood from all foul.
ness, remove every morbid affection, and
renovate weak and enfeebled constitutions
to perfect health and vigor.
Their acknowledged innocence makes
them safe through every period ofexisteuce,
from infancy to old age.
No extra caio in either dress or diet is
required when they are used.
With the invaluable medicine in our
possession, we may visit the most sickly
regions without fear. No contagion can
by possibility affect us,' we are careful to
freely use these Pills. v.-40

ho right of ADAMS, CAIMOLL and FREDER•
xmc Counties, of his Patent Two horse Por

er, arc now making, and will constantly
keep on [wild, at.the
STEAM 'FOUNDRY.
in. Gettysburg, a large quantity of , those
valuable Machines, and now offer them to
the Farmers as the most useful, labor.sav
ing, and convenient Machine of the kind
ever offered to the public. The pr;ce of
these Machines being much less than any
other Machine of the kind, every Farmer
has it in his power to obtain one. Two
hands can load and unload this Machine
with ease, and one horse can haul the whole
Machine itra small wagon over any ordina
ry road. Almost every Farmer has help
enough within himself to work the machine.
We deem any further comment unnecessa
ry, but will merely add the following Cer
tificate, being one of many of a similar kind
in our possession.

CERTATICWITE.
We, the undersigned, do hereby certify,
that we have seen one of S. H. LITTLE'S
Two horse Potent Portable THRASHING
MACHINES in use, and can assure the
Farmers and the Public, that it is worthy
of the highest praise and patronage, as Two
Horses can do the work of Four with more
ease and less hands. It twee one.half the
labor, and performs the work in the best
manner possible. It possesses a decided
advantage over any other Machine, being
less liable to get out of order, and easily to
be removed. To see it in operation is suf
ficient to eatisfy any one of its-great utility
and the propriety of our statement.
