the singular order to receive from the Lan

It will be remembered that the law referred
to limits the time for the acceptance of the
provisions authorizing the issue of small
bills to forty days from the time of its pas
sage. Now the Lancaster County Bank
did not go into operation until more than
four months from the passage of the said
act, and the bill 'creating it did not become
a law anti/jive days after the Relief Bill
had passed into a . law. And yet the Gov

issue the same proportion that it would have
been entitled to had it done so within the
fortydaye prescribed, and hoe ordered the
State Treasurer to receive these clearly
illegal notes! We trust that officer will
firmly resist this arbitrary attempt to force
upon the people a currency unknown to the

Too rairr---triortino our —The fed .
al locos were altogether too fast in raising
the shout of joy over • Mr. Tyler's veto.
They forgot, or did not know that probs.
bly with the same pen he bad signed the
repeal of the "second declaration' di Inde
pendence!" But the unwelcome fact •has
burst upon them, and produced a distres
sing revulsion in their feelings. The
knowledge that that glorious humbug ie •no
more. and the information of the passage of
the Bankrupt law which frees the poor man
from their power, has set them to laughing
out of the other corner of their mouths, and
the democrats are as much elated as they
were depressed but a day or two since.
The change in the aspect of affairs is as
tonishing. The federal lecos now go about
the streets gnashing their teeth and curs
ing the democrats in Congress for not
breaking up in a row. Their joy over the
veto arose more from the hope that it would
dissolve the Cabinet, break up Congress
and annihilate the party than for any thing
else. But they have been wnfully disap
pointed—their joy has turned ,to wo, and
their songs into tears of bitter vexation.
Poor devils! They are doomed to tribula
tions- If they had been a little less hasty
and not quite so 'open. in their sneers and
insults, we have no doubt that the veto
would have done us a little injury, but as
it is it will do us a vast deal of good.—
There are thousands that will now vote
with us who would not before. Democrats are
not the men that will quietly submit to the
jeers and taunts of insolent loco locos.—
They will not soon forgot the indignity that
was heaped upon them by the federal loco

lIIIICNsE PECULATION EXPOSED.—We
have been waiting for an explanation from
the State Capitol Gazette, in reference to
the money drawn by the 11th 'Division of
the Pennsylvania Militia, in 1839. That
paper on the 10th ult. in au article concern.
ing the "Buckshot -War," asserted that the
volunteers of that division received 811,-
174,17 for their services, and that they
"had spent 'Ouch time and trouble in ma
king up the estimate." We are therefore to
presume that they consulted the accounts of
the Paymaster on the books of the Audit
ing department. If this be the case, the
locofoco officers have swindled the volun
teers out of upwards of Ten . Thousand
Dollars, as the amount actually paid to
those volunteers was but 8600, while the
Steve was charged $11,174 17 on their
account. How is this to be explained?
Let the question ring through the State
until some one answers it. Is ►t the false.
hood of the Gazette, or the villainy of
Porter and his officers?--Har. Telegraph.
STRUM TAIL BALANCE.—The pqrdoned
criminal saga in his last paper diet the
Veto Bing has saved the State ef1,041,,200

818,000,000 which he has added to..\he
State debt, a great part of winch 'hasbl; . etike .
squandered Upon his favorites, and thew-els
stills balance against . him efabout TEN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! But The
pardoned criminal might with the same
propriety aiiert that the Governor saved to
the State B°o,ooo, because there was that
amount 101 in the Treasury after he had
robbed it of 82000 to pay his Brother and
his Attorney General for certain party ser
vices.—Rrife.
Itwe mistake not, among the bills vetoed
by Porter during the last session of our Leg.
isbaure, was one refusing to allow pay (a.
mounting 'to several thousand dollars) to
the Contractors on the Gettysburg Rail
Road, by which act many were rendered
insolvent, and thus depriving the labourers
on the fine of their hard earnings. This is
one way of doing it—Robbing the datkla

We have to chronicle another awful

As near as could be ascertained, upwards
of thirty persons were killed outright and
no less than fifty wounded, some seriously,

WitOLESALN APPLICATION aP LYNCH
LAw.—A friend of aura, whir arrived in the
city yesterday from irkapsas, informs us of
the folloiring startling particulars, showing
the summary manner in .which that law,
more tyrannous than the code of Draco—
Lynch Law—haa in this,
- as well as in eve
ry insteam, where it hasbeen appealed to,
been carried into effect.
Between the 3th and the 10th inst.,
Phillips county, in Arkansas, about forty
miles below Helena, and the county of Co
aboma,in Missiesppi,ou the opposite side of
the river, appear to have become the scene
of mob and lynch law to a greater extent
than has lately been recorded by the public
press.
A numerous gang of , counterfeiters bad
their places of rinidesvous and the abodes
of their families in the above named coun
ties, to the great and continued annoyance
of the citizens and the trading flat bent
men on the river. Besides their encroach.
ments on the peace and,property of the pub
lic in that . way,thev of late turned their crim
inal industry to horse stealing to such an
extent ter to rouse the citizens of the whole
neighborhood.
The latter, headed by Capt. Barney
Bradford formed into a volunteer compnny
of about LOU well armed men, commanded
and led by the said Capt. Bradford, Mr. J.
Lunsford and Spear, Iron) Arkansas, and
Squire Ferrer and James' Howarton,
from Mississippi, nod after an active search
of several days, succeeded in capturing 27
men, among whom we. learn the following
names, viz: Hugh Talley, Lewis Hingston,
Andrew McLaughlin, Willis Pollock, Hugh
Cotton, Elliott and Robert Hunter, the let
ter, lately from New York, jue Merritt
and McCormmic.
The volunteers used the following strata
gem to seize the scoundrels. They engag
ed a trading boat at Helena and hid about
50 men in the store room; they then de•
se ended the river, landing at every place
where they suspected to fall in with the
counterfeiters. These degraded men came
on board to purchase produce, with the in•
tension of paying, for it in counterfeit
money. They were thus taken and secured
in the boat. When the number had in
creased to 27 men; nines of them
. were tied
hand and feat, and, as the report 'says,
drowned in the Mississippi, near Island No.
69, in the presence of two nien, Harrod
and Burgess, who_it appears. officiated, or
at least took en active part in the execution
of the sentence.
We understand that the company is
increasing in number, and intends to pro
ceed to the mouth of White river. When
our informant met a division of them they
were in pursuit-of a certnin Marian Wright.
When he arrived at Napoleon, at the mouth
of Arkansas river, he learned that some six
or seven dead bodies had been, seen float
ing on the river opposite thnt place, and also
that some of the counferfeiters who escaped
had been seen passing down thd river with
uncommon speed, in order to evade their
pursuers.---/V. U. Picayuge. • -
e have since been informid tint 'twenty
three persons have been drowned.
IMPORTANT FROM TUE DISPUTED TER
ITORY.—The Ba rigor Whig copies an arti
cle from the Woodstock (N. B.) Telegraph,
from which we learn that great excitement
prevails in the neighborhood of the Bounda
ry Line, in consequence of the proceedings
of the American party of exploration.—
The Telegraph says:
"We have been informed that they ale
running a new lino' east of the old bounda
ry, cutting down and leavinf a space o
from forty to eighty feet wide, and marking
the United States Boundary Line. The
angle formed by this new direction of the
line is said to be so great that several ex
tensive clearinge belonging to our farmers
in the back settlements have been taten in
and included as American property. We
have heard of several farms losing from 50
to 100 acres, and one in part;eular, we have
been informed,had been .entirely included in
the State of Maine,atid an idea held out that
these persons must become American Sat
jams. •which has camel) an unusial degree
of excitement."
The Telegraph adds, that it would not

of the "beautiful cigar girl." The police.
it is said, or rather the magistracy of New
York, are exerting themselvem in the moat
commendable spirit. The Times urges
the Governor to offer a large reward for
the discovery of the villiuns, and a free
pardon to any one who may have been pri
vy to the deed, and who will come forward
and disclose the facto. The Journal of Com
merce thinks that the murder must have
been committed near to her mother's house,
and the nearer the more likely. That pa
per adds:
"There are places within a few rods of
the door, where such a deed would be as
likely to be committed as any where in the
city. A piece of one of the unfortunate
girl's petticoats, two feet long-and one toot
wide, was torn out and. title under her chin
and around . ,the back of her head, probably
to preiiiaer screams. This was done
by fellows who'had no pocket handkerchiefs
Perhaps these considerations are not new
to the police, but they need, we thiok,to be
considered by the neighborhood. In our
judgment, the unhappy girl had not procee
ded,many steps, when she was induced for
sonic purpose to step within a door, which
was closed upon her, and she was there
murdered during Sunday. It was probably
not a parlour, ore bed-room, or any part of
a dwelling house, nor a public place of any
mart."
The New York Star copies the above,
and makes this remark:
"This paragraph is sufficiently mysteri•

ed. Thrown off one track, the police may
have a clue to another. Hitherto, the in
quiry has been limited to the suppositien
that the murder was committed at Hoboken.
A new issue is made up, if there is reason
to believe the assassination took place in
this city, and near to her mother's doer.—
Let new inquiries be forthwith instituted.
At all events, let there be rewards offer

INCIDENT, OF TUE DVIAsTEB ON LANE
ERIE.—The Albany, Buffalo, and New
York papers abound with letters and para.
graphs detailing touching and , thrilline
incidents connected wit:t the recent appal
ing disaster on Lake Erie. The scene
must have been one of terror and horror,
beyond all power of description. In half
an hour after the flames were first aiscover

been hurried to an untimely grave. The
barkeeper states that one man he saw stand

En e ma, segein,Arios..—The find' iti
that often 'attends speculation. - of tatiouS
:kinds,tas frequently been the subject et
remark, and a great many homilieslave
been rehearsed, in reference to the danger
that attends the practice. It all seems,
however, to produce little effect, and neith.
er exhortation nor observation of the disas
trous erects that sometimes attend it,, rs
sufficient to restrain thobe who are predis.
posed to engage in such adveututei, and
have once bad a taste of them. That such
persons, however, may not be without -am
ple warning, we insert the following ac
count ofa couple of instances of distress,
arising out of this cause, taken from an
article in Bicknell% Reporter, on the de
preciation of the vela° or stock in Phila
delphia:
"A gentleman but a few hours since,
stepped into our office, who three years
ago, had a fortune of nearly $lOO,OOO, and
an income of 87,000 a year. He has
now but barely the means ofsubsistence.—
His funds were unfortunately invested in
the stocks that are the most depreciated.—
Another still more painful instance hits
come to our knowledge, in the case of a
gentleman who four years ago was supposed
to be worth nearly half a million of dollars.
He lived in the most expensive style, and
brought up WS children accordingly. But
he became touched with the mania of ape.
culation, and inteeted largely in Western
and South-Western stock. Ruin came
upon him like an avalanche.- He staggered
before such unexpected adversity and coin
paralive poverty, and in believed to have
died of a broken heart.",
NARROW ESOAPR MR. 1 617parrER.—
The Washington correspondent of the At
las says—" Mr. Webster had a narrow es•
cape yesterday. He was riding With his
servant in a buggy, when the horse took
fright, became unmanageable, and ran at
full speed around Capitol Hill, till he ar
rived at the North Eastern gate, when Mr.
W. directed his man to turn him into the
grounds. In executing this &hemp ma•
ncavre, the wheel struck.the post, end was
torn Off, and the riders where violently
thrown out, but escaped with a few slight
bruises.
CURIOUS ACCIDENT.—The Hannible,
(Mo.) Journal says: On Monday evening,
at the close of the elction at New London,
Rails county, several young men started
on horseback to return to their homes in
the country, and were .riding• at a brisk
pace, when one ofthe horses trod on a fence
stake in such a way ae to elevate the hind.
er and, and the horse in the rear running
against it, it pierced his body and killed
him on thespot, and the rider was also kill
ed by the horse falling on him. The young
man who was killed was the eon of a Mr.
John Rice, of Rolls.
Dem Foltz.— While the U. S. brig
Consort was in our port, we went one after.
noon whaling, or what was equivalent I.
it, to harpoon a devil fish. These marine
representative' of bie Satanic Majesty, we
are utterly unable to describe, being unlike
anything of the fish kind we have ever omen..
Five were harpooned in the course of the
afternoon, though only one, a small one
weighing 1000 lbs., was captured and
hauled up on deck of the brig, whore the
Jack Tarp diesected him in true sailor
style. It is a pleasant rjde in a snbstantial
boat to harpoon one of these fellows as you
are taken through the water at a rate of
about twelve miles an hour. 'We have
never seen these fish at any other point on
the Florida coast; there are a great many
of them here, particularly at the entrance
to our harbor s and we think from their
bulk iii thewatinr, compared to the one we
caught, the largest must weigh at least
200'0 Joseph Times.
ANOTHER FRWALE Sr 1L0R..-A female
sailor, only 16, and who had been three
years on board a sloop on the Devonshire
cocci, was recently discovered at Sri/them.
She was treating a couple of lasses of a
fruit garden, with all imaginable gallantry.
whets 'a taller interfered with her girls,
inlet - she resented, and a battle ensued, in
which the ctieguised heroine was severely

astonishment, and that of the tailor him

perhaps the only unerring , guide from whose
decision there isno appeal; and was there
ever such a manifestation of its approval as
there is with Brandrelh's Vegetable Uni

cine warmed itself into favor, in spite safen
ess, derision and scorn. Triumphant has
been its progress to its present sphere of
extensive usefulness. It haw surmounted
obstaCles before Which quackery sieks para
lysed, and has gained for itself ti reputation
which neither Physicians nor flippant, sor
did, counterfeiting Apothecaries can never
injure. They can no more injure the.repu
tation of' Bratuireth's pills, than they can
lay their bands upon the sun. These Pills
are known by , the experience of thousands,
to perfectly cleanse the blood from all fool:
nese, remove every morbi d affee.tion, and
renovate weak and enfeebled Constitutions
