A POLITICAL CORRESPONDENCE. We present to our readers a correspond. nce recently held between certain Loco foco members of the State Senate of Ten. nessee and the Hon. EvntiAnt H. Forma. These Senators thirteen in number, con stitute a majority of that branch of the Tennessee Legislature, and have it in their power to defer the election of two United States Senators from that State for two years to come. The Whig party, having a majority in the House of Delegates grea ter than that of the Opposition in the Sen• ate, would, if the election were now gone into, be able to control it. It is suspected by some that the Lotofoco Senators design to refuse going into the election at present, which suspicion seems to be sustained by ciertnin portions of their letter.—National lateligencer.

Gentlemen:—l have to acknowledge your lotter of the 19th inst., propounding for my consideration sundry grave questions of public policy, and requiring ma to enligleen your minds by a "full and satisfactory" re ply, or, in the opposite alternative, leaving me to anticipate the indefinite postpone ment of an election which involves the sa cred rights of the people of Tennessee in tho principal councils of tho nation, and is imperatively enjoined by the latter of the Constitution. • 1 may lament, gentlemen, but fear I can not relieve the anxieties which seem to em barrass your movements and threaten to disappoint the public expectation, by retar ding the execution of a great and important duty. To promise otherwise would be to spook against "the lights before me," and to labor against hope itself. For years past it has been my lot to struggle in a warfare where, as the country will bear me witness, I scorned alike to stoop to concealment or beg for quarters. During the eventful con flict, in the length and fervency of the re peated interviews 1 had the honor of bald ing with some of you, and in the frequent opportunities you all had of reading and hearing my sentiments, I endeavored to proclaim my opinions and declare my po litical associations. If, after all this, we do not sufficiently understand each other, it must certainly be the result of incorrigible dialsess somewhere; and as I make it a point never to be outdone in manners, I must, I suppose, as a matter of pqlitonese, take the fault to myself, and secure you against an imputation which would wound the pride of your constituents and derogate from the dignity of the Senatorial gown.— But excuse me now gentlemen,if you please. Fruitless labor is apt to discourage further toils, no matter where the difficulty hes, and I feel, myself compelled, in all due hu mility, to decline the explanation() I have hitherto failed to impress upon your intel• loots. Nevertholese, by your leave, gen tlemen, I may tender my profound acknowl. edgements for the disinterested candor which dictated your communication, and in behalf of my own imbecility, implore that charity I would ho the last to impeach or assail. A word or two more, gentleman, in all good soberness, shall cloys what I have to say on the present occasion. They are called for by consideratious altogether fur. eigu to my political creed, whatever it •may be, and cannot be omitted by any one who feels that office can never be honorably held, unless it be Loom ably sought for and honorably obtained. Considering that we aro uncompromising political adversaries—for such mane you will admit, aro the whole thirteen of the self constituted and august inquest I em now addressing—you have decently veiled but hardly excused an extraordinary fiber. ty by the elevated position you have been pleased to assign me. It remains to be soon whether I stand Lawn before a patri otic inquisition, or who it is, friend or foe, that shares with me the honors of your sere-- tiny. You doubtless know of some who have placed themselves stealthily, if not publicly, in the category you have imposed upon me, and as l am bound to halieve that you are 'all-call honorable men,' I trust you will not have, flailed to visit these with sim ilar searchings. Although some of them may be at the bottom of your counsels—the sacred office you have honorably and vol untarily assumed, will not excuse the least partiality. They should be held on high, as I am, so that a just and equal exposure may warn the public of their men, and en able mid day anibitten to sean by times, the stool it may have to encounter. Whether or no I shall be a eendidate for one of the vacant seats in the Senate of the United States, now at the disposal of the Legialuture of Tennessee, may depend up on more uncertainties than the contingency oflife itself. 1 will on that score at least, endeavour to measure my ambition by the desire of those whose political fortunea— good or bad—suit me infinitely better than yours, %%Wet I am free to'udmit that a ma jority of those friends may command my name, I can declare, in equal frankness, that pour arid humble as 1 am, my enemies possess neither power to deter nor wealth nor honors enough to purchase me. The closeness and the fierceness of the contest may warm my courage and stimulate my exertions, but the pride of success shell never, I assure you, tempt me to violate any Sentiment of propriety. I assert no uncommon sagacity, when I profess to understand the promises, the ob ligation, the political attitude of every in dividual member composing the 'honorable body with whom you are • acting. A simi lar knowledge—less acceptable to your taste however than mine—excited, no doubt, tha solicitude which led you into this extraordinary correspondence. Without intending to rebuke that solicitude or with out designing now to charge any one of you, or any particular member of your po litical family with unworthy attempts upon the unsuspecting integrity of your brethren of an opposite faith, I seize the occasion, to declare solemnly and publicly, that I would not ply the fidelity of the humblest among ell the representatives of the people, though my election might hung on a vote, and I could successfully accomplish the foul se• duction. I hope, gentlemen, it may be in your power—all of you—to say as much iu equal nod unfeigned sincerity. It is true, gentlemen, as you assert, that you constitute a majority in the Senate of the General Assembly of Tennessee, and, consequently hold the power for two years to come to enforce the eignifirant threat whioh points the last paragraph of your let ter. It is eqaally true that come people have prophesied the execution of that threat; but I have not been of the number, and am Will slow to believe in any such pur pose. The force of the thiciat does not therefore annoy me, nor would its unwise fulfilment injure me more than it would yourselves, and every other gnod citizen iu the country. The chief blessings that flow from this happy Government belong, I without distinction, to all men of every party, and their loss—if the fated hour ever cornea—must of course be a common adorn ity. As their existence was coeval, so their duration can only be coexistent with ourCen stitution,and that cannot long survive, unless the sacred injunctions of that ever glorious in strument are cherished and obeyed by men of every political faith. In the midst of party in its most malignant forms I have never de epeired of that Constitution. Nay, more, gentleman, though the fiery demon of fac. lion should break for a season the chains wherewith reason in its most forgetful mo ments has hitherto bound her down, and stalk abroad through the land, scattering anarchy, discord or wanton misrule, I should not then altogether despair. As a nation wo are yet too young, and too virtuous, to disregard the precepts or l our forefathers, and blindly and forever cast away the rich legacy, the price oleo much blood and suffering, wherewith they endow • ed us. The Constitution of which I em speaking commands you to elect two Sen ators, to represent and - protect the interests of the nation and your immediate constitu eats in an approaching Congress. At all events, it imposes upon you the obligation of faihtfully attempting a 'selection; end ardent and determined as some of you ma) be in an honest desire to advance eomo particular friend at the expense even of an indefinite postponement of thewholo ques tion, there must certainly yet be found of your number one man, who, nobly looking beyond party to his country and the Con stitutien,will change that lean majority of which you have so Imprudently and incau tiously boasted- If any of you, gentlemen, are disposed to complain of the channel through which these respects will first meet your eyes, you will find my apology in the Union of yesterday. Your letter I, own—with ma• by thanks for the act of especial conde scension—was delivered to me in studied end docent form by threo of its most dis tinguished signors; but I bud scarcely time, from ether indiTensible vocations, to Gast a hurried glance ovor its pages—certainly no sufficient opportunity to consider the art or the just merits of such an important communication, before I found its contents copied into the columns of R newspaper.— By addressing you thus through the inter vention of the press, I not only avail my self of the earliest possible publicity, but I have the honor to imitate and rival a high example. I am, gentleman, with all due considera tion, your obedient servant, EPHRAIM H. FOSTIM.• Messrs. SamtTnt. TURNEY, J. P. BAUD. %creme, and others. •••••.1.0 0 00.0••• Tun APPROACHING SESSION OP CON• aortas.—Ono week from Monday next com mences the irecond session of the Twenty. eaveoth Congress. The first Session ofthis Congresse theugh an ardour one, and fruitful of valuable men suree, was directed, both by the Proclame tion coovening,,it, and the Message of the President at the opening, to particular ob.' jests; and it refrained entirely from saga ging in the general business of legislation. At the coming session the whole field of public duty lies open to Congress, in which there is much ground to be labored, he the harvest gathered from it great or small.— Investigations into the administration oldie Government, not only for the last four years. but a good part of the eight preced ing, (during which all satisfactory inquiry was resisted and defeated;. under various pretences, Ly those Executive offices who were interested in concealment of abuse or mismanagement,) are expected by the Peo ple at the hands of Cong ress . Reforms al so are looked for in different branches ofthe Government; amongst which an effimtive reorganization of the Navy scenic to be in general contemplation. The Post Office system requires revision with' reference to its general administration, as well as to the proper regulation of letter postage, the rev enue from which, it is supposed, would be augmented instead of diminished by a reduc tion of the present oppressive rates. Ma ny other objects within rho range of the powers of Congress might be mentioned. sufficient to oceupy its time during a ses• sion of average length. There is one subject, however, which cannot be avoided, which must be acted up an, and which may of itself be expected to occupy a greet deal of time, because of the many interests which it affects, and the in finity of details connected with it. We re fer, of course, to the revision and perma-1 nent adjustment ofthe system of dutiee upon imports. The amendatory revenue net, past at the last session, was only an expedi• ent for supplying obvious defects in the sys tem until it can undergo that generaLrevis ion which devolves upon Congress at the ensuing evemion. In June next, the duties ostabli4ted ,under the act of 1933 reach their lowest point; a point too low to leave a sufficient revenue, as in contemplation of that act, for defraying the ordinary expen ses of the Goverment. A thorough revis ion of the whole Tariff system will become necessary; end the intelligence of the Rep resentatives of the People, as well as their ability' to postpone particular interests for considerations of public national weal, will be put to the test. The apportionment of Representatives to Congress under the new census always a difficult and tedious work—is one o f the earliest objects that will demand the eaten. tion of Congress. The chief interest that the Public has in the settlement of their .• ratio at apportionment is, that the House of Representatives be not m-tdo touch more 1 numerous than it now is, lest it should be. come more unweldly, and less fit for the purposes of deliberation; and this will- be the problem for Congress to work out. But the subject of the greatest concern at the present moment, intrinsically as well as adventitiously, is that of the Currency. The minds as well as the mouths of all men are occupied with it; ay, nod their hands too; for their is no quarter of our country in which much of the time of all men en. gaged in business of any tort is not eccupi' ed in converting such money as they are obliged to receive into such as they are able to pay away. The incidents of the last session have not !owned the general anxi ety to know what use Congrestrwill make of the power which the Government undoubt edly possesses to purge the country of the great social as well as political evil of a vitiated currency. The President is, we learn from the language of the newspapers, thought to be pledged -to propose, or ut lenet to sanction, some plan of a National Bank. la this we fear our friends deceive themselves.. Some "Fiscal Agent" will no doubt be proposed, but not such a one, we apprehend, ae is looked for, or can meet the exigencies of the country. If it should be otherwise, none will rejoice at it more sin. cerely than ourselves. However that may be, there at no danger, the tender will per ceive, even from this hasty glance at the prospect of Congress having necessarily any idle time on their hands at the ensuing session, though it should last till the dog. days.—Nat. Int. BALTIMOBA AND 01110 RAIL ROAD Nores.4The depreciation of this kiud of money, which constitutes no large a portion of the circulation of Baltimore, Matryland and adjoining parts of other states, has caused a groat deal, of inconvenience, and occasioned many offiirts to remedy the evil. Negociatione to induce the Baltimore Banks to receive and pay out the notes hay ing failed, Delegates were elected in the loveral Wards of that city to constitute a Convention to take the matter into censide. ration. After another failure to make a satisfactory arrangement with the Banks, a committee of that Body full on a plan of which the outlines are given below. It was adapted by the Convention, and has also been approved of by the people in Ward Meetings. The arrangement went into operation on Monday last—The Clipper of Saturday, whose editor took an active part in effecting it, averred that it had al ready produced a beneficial effect on the value of the notes, and that the Franklin Bank—an institution which hes been sup. plying no circulation of its own for some time paet—was to become the depository of the City, Rail Road and numerous individu al funds. The following i• the plan adopt ed—we leave the reader to judge of its efficacy:— let. That the Franklin Bank shall re ceive the said orders en deposits in the or. dinary manner, "subject to be checked out by depositors at pleasure; and the said de pon;tes to ho kept in separate accounts. 2d. The Bank shall make a monthly :?et• dement of Balances en paid accounts with an interest account with said depositors.— To furnish the Mayor monthly with the' aggregate amount of interest which may be duo to such depositors.' 3d. Tkat the Bunk shall furnish the Mayor of the City with quarterly state. month of interest due on said depoattes, and pay the same to depositors on the first day of January, April, July and October of every year—the interest to be paid in specie or its equivalent. 4th. That for the labor hereby imposed upon the Bank, the City of Baltimore shall pay said Bank ono sixth of the interest which may accrue on said doposites— the other five sixths to be paid to depositors. 5. In ease it shall be found that the one per coot. hereby allowed to the Franklin Bank insufficient to pay the additional ex penses which shall have been incurred in carrying the arrangement into effect, it is agreed, that the President and Directors of said Bank shall have the right to annul this eontraet Fat any time, by giving three months previous notice in writing to the Mayor atilt, City of Baltimore. The account of Daposites under ibis ar =vim:int shall be kept separate and • dis tinct from the old accounts of the Bank; and the interest to depositors shall be allowed upon the average monthly settle ments, in the same manner that the monthly setilotnents are mado between the Banks of this city. It is understood that the Bank shall not re-issue any notes of its OWE) during this arrangement. j- The Baltimore Patriot of Tuesday evening het, hoe the following paragraph, in reference to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road orders: RAILROAD ORDEIIB.—The deposited of rail-road orders with the Franklin Bunk continuo rapidly to bo made, and, we under stand, already exceed one hundred thousand dollars. The amount would be much be yond this, but for the necessary delay occa sioned by the counting and entering the monoy. By the close of the week, the de posites will, no doubt, ahem b nearly all of the orders that are not used actively in trade. We ace it stated, that besides rail road orders, some of those who opened ac counts also deposited bank notes, and even specie. Every thing goes to prove that the dieposition of the citizens is to give the arrangement all the aid in their power. WALNUIT.—The cultivation ofthe shell. bark walnut among our, farmers would be productive of much profit. The wood is valuable enough to pay for its growth, and the nuts are equal in goodness to those of any foreign land. We learn from tho Bar re (Mass.) Gazetto, that on one farm in that town, therre has bcon gathered five hundred bushels this season, worth no ma ny dollars. On another farm seventy five bushels were sold at scventy.hve crnts per bushel—the purchaser to gather them. DEBADFTI. ACCIDeNT.—A Daughter shot by her Father.— An accident of the most deplorable and melancholy nature, causing the death of a young and benuithil female occurred in the upper part of the city yesterday morning. Mr. Noble, n master mason on the Cro ton Works, residing in Eighty sixth street, having heard that persons had threatened to attack his house, has recently been in the habit ol keeping loaded pistols in readi ness in case of such en event. Yestei day morning some friends called to see him, and these pistols were lying on a chair, nod one of the gentlemen without perceiving them sat upon them; but at the request ol Mr. Noble, who said they •were loaded, immediately got up'. and Mr. N. took not of them up to shew it and raised the hum mer. While .in this position his firozer slipped, and the hummer cmuing'down upon the cop, which remained in the socket, the charge exploded, arid horrible to state the bull with which the pistol was loaded struck his daughter, June Noble, who was stand. mg two or three yards off, in the right side of the head, passing through the brain and causing _Mutant death. The unfortunate young lady, was about twenty-two years of ago, and was as universally beloved, as hor untimely end will be deplored. The wretched father is inn state of phrei:zy and it is very questionable if he ever recovers his reason. An inquest was hold upon tho hody of the deceased, and tha Jury returned a verdict that the deceused'came to hor death by the accidental discharge of a loaded pistol in the hand of her father.—N. Y. Cour. and Eng. A STILAS3III PJLOCltlititMt —lt IS well known that a great many of the Banks of Pennsylvania declined to accept the provi sions of tho Relief Bill so much denounced by the Loco Pecos, and therefore the whole amount of money contemplated by that measure was not thrown into tion. This did nut moot the wishes of Gov. Porter, who, although he vetoed the bill, was anxious to have the . funds which it furnished for the Government; and there fore his agents enered into a bargain with certain Banks located near, and deeply in forested in the: unfinished linos of public improvements, to issue u greater amount of notes than was allowed by the act. We do not stop to comment on this splendid ex aniplo of consistency on the part of those who pretended to be hosf,:e to that law; but refer to the fact that the State Treasurer elected. by the majority of the Leg. islature from which the bill emanated, threw an unexpected obstacle in the path of his Excellency and his Canal Commis sinners by refusing to receive, or have any thing to do with this illegal extra issue of paper-money, and fortified himself with the opinion of Ilorcaa Blaney; Esq.—one of tin most learned lawyers in the State. The political plotters wore determined not to be thus foiled—the law should not stand in their way— mnnoy they wanted and meet have, for the electiOn was fast approaching; end the. Governor 'assumed the responsibil• fly' of permitting the Banks in question to set afloat this unauthorized currency, in . despite of the opposition of the financial of ficor of the State and the judgment of the soundest counsellors. The agent of the Towanda Bank, we see in the UniteitStates Gazette of Saturday last, declares that that Institution has thrown 6100,000 into circu lotion by authority or big Excellency—the general impression abroad is that the Erie Bank has violated the law tinder the same auspices, and a like suspicion rests upon the Berke County Bank. 'This has cast dis credit upon the issues of those institutions, for it is believed that the State IS not bound for the redemption of those fetus over and ahovethe amount authorized by low. Thus it will be seen that our currency has been corrupted by tho agency ofe Governor elected by a party which has never ceased to denounce that Relief 11.11 which he first vetoed and has now carried far beyond its own provisions; end we would like some Locufoco casuist to explain how it comes that his excellency can take such a course, and he at the same time consistent and 'thoroughly democratic' throughout.— York Republlcan.

Passengers readily detect the difference between that and the other cars, by the superior ease and comfort of its mo tion. It is stated, by those who have had the fullest opportunities for observing, 'that over the roughest and most uneven places, where the inequalities of tho track render the jar exceedingly disagreeable with steel springs, the air springs make the motion perfectly easy, so that passengers may even road with comfort while riding.'—N.

Th Wheeling Times says we once heard' of a merchant who undertook to. expend his first year's profits in advertising. After trying four months he found his profits so great that ho could not find enough pnpers toudvortisu in, and gave it 'up; but continued to ndvertiso in every paper in his reg,ior, until in six years ho quitted business with hallo million of ready change." Bishop MOOI2II, of the Episcopal Diocese of 'Virginia, died a few days ago at Lynch burg, Va. He had preached upwards of 150 years. A nouTtox VOTe —We learn from the 'Porter' that Bradford county- gave Le Moyne 27 votes. These added to the for• mer return brings his vote in the State up to 820. nos. F. GRANGER.—On the eve of the late election in New York, the Hon. F. Granger addressed the Whigs of Ontario county upon the causes which led to his withdrawal from the Cabinet. After re ferring to the two bank bills, ho made the following remarks: • 'lt has been boldly declared, and by himself amongst others, that lone continu ed power in :he hands of our adversaries, have led to corruption among the office holders, and to a most dangerous interfe- rence on their part in our political elections. Not that every officer was corrupt but that the different departments of governmental .patronage and expenditures, required a general purification.- The revolution of last year was not accomplished merely for the purpose of placing the executive officers at Washington in snug and comfortable pla tes, • while the horde of office holders throneheut the country remained undisturb ed. Their removal was as much desired by the people as was the change in the bighe4 officers of. the government. So perfectly was this Understood, that it vvas duo to our adversaries to say, that they did not complain when • removed, and justly liegt4d et us .when we permit led them to remain. • Ninny removals arid nrmnintments were ! undo during lieu Cungre•sionui recess and before the death of General Harrison, which were afterwards scot to the Senate for con firmat ion, but s'rice that .period very few hnd been disturbed. The President hnd seen fit to retain in power almost the 'entire force of the Indian department through out tlie country, although the Whig party had been loud in their assertions of cor ruption and fraud in the enormous expendi• lures there. Custom house officers were retained who worn know to have been actively engaged in tho political struggle against us. All the most valuable offices of the Post Office Department wore under the contrcl of the President, who had per mitted but few changes. Under this state of things Mr. Granger had been forced to consider his duty to the principles ho had advocated and to himself personally. After the deepeht reflection he could not doubt. He felt that if the executive power should continue to thwart the will of the people as expressed through the ballet boxes, and through their representatives in Congress —if bold political partizans were permitted to retain the places which they had so long abused, to trample down Whig principles, and if. after all this, ho remained in office, the Whigs throughout the nation, aye, the whip of old Ontaiio, by whose partiality he had been so often sustained, would ho Hove that for the enjoyment of office ho had butered his and their principles, and that 'Prank Granger was not Ike man they took him to be." ENGLAND AND" ARERICA.—At a late public meeting in Liverpool, one of the speakers, just ret urned from this country, drew the following picture:— "'He said that having landed in America, ho went first to the west, and found that a man who could do nothing but dig could earn one dollar and a halls day; and that ho could obtain board and lodging for two dollars and a half a week. 'rho price of flour was then 12s. a barrel. Ho went down to New Orleans, and found the mer chants there anxious to send the flour to England; but they were afraid to do so lest on its arrival there should be duty against it, and it 'should not in the warehouses. The price was lns. in New Orleans,' and in Liverpool 395. He returned up - the river, acid just then the news arrived of the proposed change in the corn laws. Ile should never forget the burst of enthusiasm with . which this change was hailed. Hun dreds of perions come to him and said, 'now we will have your manufactures—your tine muslina, cutlery &c.' And very anx ious they wore to have them. Ho left the west and went to the east. At Boston he went entity a railway to a city containing 25,000 inhabitants; which was not in exis tence fifteen years ago. Now it had a capital invested in mills of more than .€2,. .000;000 stetting. He saw the operatives turnout, and he could not distinguish the females from what were here called young Indies. They carried parasols. He in quired the wages there. He was told that they were 211 dollars, after paying all ex penses of hoard. .A aplriner got 4i dollars, after paying all. expenses of board. He returned from that city to Boston, nod in twelve days after was in Liverpool. The first sight he saw here was a woman pick• ing up dung in the street." PORK.;--The Gulhpolis (Ohio) Jeairnal of the.lll h, stuics that within the last two or three weeks, upwards of 12,000 hogs have passed through that place for the Eastern market. Some of the droves numbered as high as 3,000 and upwards, and generally were in good order. Pony.—The Marshall (Vu.) Beacon of Tuesday lust says: "Several droves of hogs have passed through this place with in the last week. They were fed in this county, and sold to persons who wore dri ving them on to the East; they were pur. chased at $1,73 per hundred, live weight. the scum price rules elsewhere, and these who are buying here now give but $1,50. It is hardly probable that any advance will he made upon this price. The number of hogs fed in Marshall county Ih is season is . larger than nny previous year for the last four or five." IMPORTANT SUIT AGAINST. TIM U. S. BANK.- We copy the following paragraph from the Philadelphia Chronicle of this morning:• United Slates Jc•nrn that the Government of the United . States has filed a bill in equity in the U. S. Circuit Court of Pennsylvania, against the Bank of the United States, the object of which is to annul nil the assignments made by the Bank as fraudulent, and to appoint a receiv er to take into his possession the funds of tho Bank. If,, as seems to be general im pression, this application succeed, the con• sequence will be that all the property ,of the Bank will go into the hands of the receiver, to pay its debts pro rata. The most impor tant question for the note holders is how it will effect them. It seems to us that if the $7,700,000 of assets is taken out of the possession of the first class of Trustees, it removes the special security for the five millions of post notes now held by the city banks; that the city Banks, pressed by their creditors, will then be obliged to sell these notes for what they will bring, and that thus an amount of five millions of notes of the Bank of the United States will be forced into the market for sale, in addition to the three or four millions now floating about. THE DICEEN9I—The celubrated Boz will he in this country next January, to re- main four months. He says in his letter to Mr. Clark—'l hops to be enabled in the third week of the New Year, to set my foot upon the soil I have trodden in my, day dreams many times, and whose sons (nud daughters) I yearn to know and be. a mong.' GREAT MORTALITY.--The deaths by 'fellow Fever at New Orleans this season. up to the 31th alt. amounted to 1722! TA3IPRRING WITH THR FItANCIIPM-A Negro Legislator.— We learn from the Boston Daily Mail, that a very reprehensi ble black joke was played off in Townsend, Mass., nt the late State election. The three prance in that town, whigs, democrats and übolitionists, are equally divided.— In Massachusetts, a majorit) of all the votes is necessary to elect. The whips and democrats in vain tried to persuade the third party to withdraw their nomination, they even proposed to unite with them upon a man who should represent either whig and abolition principles, or democracy and abolitionism. But no, the abolitionists must have their own man,' or they would prevent a choice. Two or. three ballotings were :told without success. - - The democrats and whige finally becoming vexed at the I obstinacy of their abolition brethren, deter. mined to give them a full-blooded abolition ist, without mistake. They accordingly came to an understanding upon the subject, nominated, an old negro, and marching to the yells in a body, elected him as a repre sentative to the Legislature of Massachu setts by an overwhelming majority 1 The abolitionists of course stuck to their ticket, and in fact voted against him. This was considered a mighty good joke upon the friends of the darkios. The old negro had consented to be nominated, and agreed to take his seat as a member, if elected—there being no disqualification on account of color. But it seems the joke is not quite perfect. The polls were kept open half an hour be• yond the legal time, and of coarse the elec. tinn is null. But another meeting is to be called immediately, and if the abolitionists still hold out, the old negro will be elected, sure fate.' The Petersburg (Vs.) Statesman of the Bth inst. informs us that the John Randolph Will Case is to coma offal the next term of the Superior Court in that town in the discussion of which, much legal talent will he enlisted. By one of Mr. R.'s Wills, which was established, as between the va rious legatees claiming under the wills found, Mr: Randolph emancipated all his slaves, some three or four hundred, whose labor is said to bo worth 810.000 a year. It is said that the' execution of this will is Suspended, because Judge Beverly Tucker, who was not a party to that contract, now enmea fr.rward as the heir at law to averse! all the Willß, and ho is now engaged in inalravoring to eillict this objnet by a suit in Chancery--the slaves remaining tho mean time in servitude, and in custody of the law. The Statesman remarks:—“Sir Edward Cook, the very embodiment of the Common Lsw--the groat: grandfather of law—it is related, after nil made a Will which, the lawyers never could unravel.— So the Roanoke Orator, ni the matter of his Wall, has displayed less practical wisdom than belones to many a plain farmer thut . whistles in his furrow."

FATAL Accumir —The last Hagers town Herald says: We learn that a man (name unknown) who had been on to the East with a drove of cattle, whilst on his return, was overtaken en Sideling Hill in this county, by a man driving a wagon, of whom he asked permission to tide.— This being granted he entered the wagon, and proceeded but a short distance when the driver, being intoxicated, drove the wagon over a precipice of considerable' height, by which the unthrtunate stranger was instantly killed. This is an other sol emn warning to those, addicted to the use of tha molvter—refa. ASSASSMATION.- illiam S. Aloselv,esq. tho prosecuting Attorney for tho Holena (A rkansa , ) Di s trict, was assassinated' on the high way, in St. Francis County, A r kantias, on the Ilad tilt. ' He It as, at the titre, on the road to Church alone. The assassin or assassins had erected a blind, from behind which they shot him, several buck shot passing through his head and shoulders. BRUTAL —The Baltimore Patriot relates that a man, named John Morton of that ci ty, got intoxicated a few days since, quar relled with his wife, an amiaWo lady, bit her thumb nearly off, then repaired to Jus ticeSchmffor's office and swore the peace against her. This is a lamentable speci• mon of humanity.

OUR RELATIONS VvITII ENGLAND.-Thr. Richmond Enquirer states that Mr. Sta. venson has brought out important despatch- Os with him. He had an interview 'with Mr. Webeter on Tuesday in the city of New York—and on Wednesday Mr. W. set out for • Washington. The most im portant correspondence , which Mr., S. had in England, took place, wo understand but a few days before his departure. Pretty hot shot was, fired on -both sides, but the correspondence was conducted in good temper. Our ministar gave the last blow. His successor was, of course, expected eve ry day to an ive in London. Tuc Benxi)Any_ Lixa.—Tha ex parte survey lately made by the United State, to determine the due northern line has caused much dissntisfaction in New Brunswick.- - The St. John's Courier says, "that the American surveyors are running and mark ing the lino by the transit instrument, or, are making en astronomical survey, they having found, on trial, that such would give them a considerable advantage, by carry ing a new line considerab:y to the eastward of the line established by the joint survey of the boundary commissioners many years ago. That though the line is said to be run merely for the information of the U. S. Government, yet, it is generally under stood, if not already avowed, that when Gov. Fairfield is swum into office next Jan uary, he intends to take possession of the new line, and sell and settle the lands with the least possible delay. This attempt will r roduco,that paper says, an instant collision. It is not probable that Gov. Fairfield, or the people of Maine, will attempt any thing of the kind. The line is being run for the information of the U. S. Government, that its true position may be accurately estab-• lished. The Courier evidently argues from its fears and not from facts, for it is alto gether improbable that it should be posses. red of the intentions of Guy. Fairfield, who has not yet taken his seat and will not for several months to come. Ortruorrs ABROAD.--ln yesterday's National lntelligencor, we find another Pe rils letter from the able pen of Mr. Walsh. Ho says— "l have just opened a letter from an in telligent and dispassionate friend in Lon don, dated the 10th instant, in which he anys: "The conduct of your banks and jnint-stork companies, inflicting injury so extensive on British pockets, has done mere to create the present angry and acrimoni nue feeling here than all the battles of the lino wars, and all the excesses of the abu sive press since the peace." Hitherto, I have net discovered any sufficient causes of a rupture. If it do happen, it will be all passion and felly, showing, by its immense mischief to both parties, the reprobation of the Most High. It can never be justified by mere State or sectional claims and de spite, nor by the infection of border animo sities and outrages. My trust is in the reason of the country at largo, and tho pe ctiliar, incalculable risks of the Middle and Southern States." A (rain he says: ' , The Const Rut ionnel of this day remarks that England, though she must most earn estly deprecate an American war, is pre paring herself for it in all her" dockyards. That journal inculcates absolute neutrality on France, hut at the same time the main tenance of a force sufficient to cause her neutrality tt7 be respected." THE NEW Year,: EXCHANGE—The N.Y.

The entire cost of the Ex. thaege will be atfoilt $1,700,000. The in come from rents, When all the apartments are finished and occupied, will be about 5100,000.

Mr. Geo. , Vanduyne of Pe- Towne° township, in this county, aged !milt 30 sears, was found lying on the fire in his own house, literally roasted to death. On Saturday evening he purchased a quart of whi6key as mud "to keep Sunday," and during the night whilst intoxicated, flogged his wife. On Sunday morning he plied the bottle again, and his wife, fearing en• other floggellation during his intoxication, took her only child and went to a neigh bor's n row rods distant, leaving him sitting in a chair by the fire. Some time eller an unusual smoke was discovered from Van duyno's chimney, when Mrs. V. and some of the neighbors 'went to the house, and discovered him !yin , en fire lifeless, with his Ireast, bowels and body so burned, that it was with difficUlty ho could be removed." CAST IRON RAIL9.—On the Inclined Planes of White Haven and Wilkesbarre Railroad, running into the Valley of the Wyoming, cast iron rails have been placed. They are made of anthracite iron, are six inches deep, weigh 75 pounds to the yard, and are made direct from tho ors, with anthracite coal. They have been tested by experiment and are as strong and cheaper than malleable imported rails. Wrought iron English rails at White Haven are worth 865 per ton, and longer anti heavy cast iron ones at the same place cost but M. The experiments now in progress in this State will soon determine whether or no we can make our own railroad iron. PENNSYLVANIA CANALS AND RAILROSDS. -Mr. JOHN DOUGHERTY, in a communica Aim addressed to the Legislature of Penn sylvania, recommends a variety of reforms to the management of the canals and rail roads of that State. Ile recommends that the repairs on all these State .works should he made by contracts-- . the contracts to be made in short sections, and with men who will themselves do the work, and not to contractors who will under-let. He re. commends that the locomotives on the Col umbia railroad should he leased to individu als, one en g ine to a man, the lessees to run them on 1.104.. own account; and also that owners of locomotives be authorized to run thorn on their own account. This system, we presume, would introduce a competition in speed, though tt would hardly tend to promote the safety of passengers. Trarne OF THE St7ll.—The jewels efthe Temple of the Sun, which were secured at the conquest of Poru by the Spaniards, have been recently discovered. They arc val ued at 0190,000,000 ! AQRICPILTITRAIP EXPERIMRTIT.-.4 late Liverpool paper - gives en account of an interesting agricultural experiment 'lately tried in a town in Cheshire county. On the 6th of May last five alternate ridges of wheat, measuring one acre, two roods, and four perches, were sowed with five cwt. of nitrate of soda. In a few days the difference between the ridges sowed with the nitrate and the intervening ridges of the same size could be discerned at a consider able distance from the &Id, which , continu ed throughont the summei. The two sorts have been reaped, threshed, measured, and weighed separately, nad the following is a correct accuunt of the produce: Nitrate, 4q bushels,weight per bushels, 56 lbs.: straw,2 tons, 4 cwt. 3 qrs. 26 lbs. The other 23 bushels, weight per bushel 56 lbe; straw, 1 ton, 5 cwt. Iqr. 2lbs. The quality of both was inferior, but the nitrate wheat would have been a better crop if a less quantity of the nitrate bad been sown. AN INPONTANT LAW Sum— Mr. S. Waddell the former Marshal of this trict, is litigating before the Supreme Court of the United States, a very compro hensive claim against Vie State of New Jersey. It embraces all the land under wator in el the rivers of East Jersey, and for three leagues beyond the shore. No farmer can build a little dock, even, if he succeed. All the fisheries, ferries, and oyster beds in East Jersey, depend upon the feselt. It is the most important case that has arisen since the settlement of the colony. Mr. Geo. Wood, end Mr. G. W. Wall, are employed by the State to defend its rights; and so important is the matter deem ed by the Legislature, that before adjourn ing they pissed this resolution: "Resolved, That in view of the great and immediate importance of this cause, in respect to the rights of this State and its citizens. His Excellency, the Governor, be requested, if he shall deem it compatible with his other public duties, to repair in , person to the city of Washington, and tit& tend the said argument, on behalf of the State." Which Was ngreed to. Mr. Waddell sues in the name and be. half fifthe East Jersey proprietors, and the appeal by the State to the Supreme Court, is from a decision in the Circuit Court, fa. voraldo to the claimants. The issue of the suit will decide a eimi• lar claim by the West Jersey proprietors.' —N. Y. American. A your'' , man in the employ of the Post master at Frederick, Trumbull county, O hio. has been arrested for robbing the mail- In order to avoid being detected, he bad been in the practice of opening lettere, ta king out any genuine bank notes they con tained, replacing them with counterfeit, and then forwarding the letter. Bin Snotrruco —A late Arkansas Ga zette tells IS that two gentlemen "went out to the Foorche bar just below Little Itnck, and killed 1100 pigeons at 15 shots. This may seem rather a tall an, but the bar was densely covered for at least one hour with pigeons, and it was foggy immediately a• bovo and below the bar, so that the pigeons could not see their destroyers until in the very jaws ofdestruction." linunizu.n.—A writer in the Glasgow Argus, who signs himself 'A .Clergyman of the established church of Scotland,' as serts that it is no exaggeration to say, be cause it can be demonstrated, that the corn laws bring ' to premature graves at least 20,000 persons annually in Great Britain ! Well may the writer say: 'What punish-. ment the Almighty may have in store for the produce of eo much misery, at is not for falablo man to scrutinize." BAD Exourns —We cannot but sympa thise with the citizens of Raleigh, N. C The following is a record ofoutrages perpe trated in that city and its immediate vicinity, within a few daya: • A stage robbed—a trunk cut from the carriage of Mr. Samuel Simp son, Esq.—a wagoner knocked down, and almost assassinated—a Mr. Hughes, whilst passing through Capital Square,with saddle bags on his arm, was felled to the earth by a blow on the head from a bludger.n, which almost deprived him of life; and the last was an attempt to fire the city. This is truly a dark catalogue, bad enough for larger cities. RALTIZIOBE AND ♦)RIO RAILROAD NOTES. —We learn, says the Baltimore Patriot, that a large number of our business men opened accounts with the Franklin Bank on Tuesday morning in rail road currency, and that the prospect of the arrangement having a fair trial and a beneficial result is favorable. The discount on the rnil•road orders Ibis morning is unsettled. TUB LATH WILLIAM BAUTLIITT, Esq. of Newburyport, loft to tho Andover Institu tion the sum of $50,000; to his grand children, twenty one in number, $20,000 each.
