Scott—Ripley--'fowoon— Hind man—brave soldiers, well did ye Your duty; long will this battle ground your *names remember. And thou too, Riall! bratte Englishman, feernan wort thou worthy of warriors' steel. Far,different music hoe re sounded through these continuous' woods than the wild bird's carol,the'lnini of insects, and the waving of the brerxe ling now so gently greets our ear. All there is . the white house. There, said the Major, as General Scott, making a forward move , merit with his brigade . in the afternoon of the 25th 'of July, 1814, came. in view of it, we saw the court-yard fil led with British officere, their horses held by orderlies and servants in- attended . As soon as we became visible to theni, their . bugles sounded to saddle, and in a few they were mounted and diatip peered through the woods at full , twenty bugles ringing the alarm'from dif . ferent parts of the forest. All vanished as if . swallowed by the.earth, save an elegant veteran offieer,. who . reined up just . out of muskephOt, and took a leisurely survey of our numbers. HaVing apparently sat isfied himself of our force, he raised the plumed hit from his -head, and bowing gracefully to our cortege; put spurs to his 'horse' and disappeared with the rest.— Froiri the occupant of the 'house we gath .. ered that we were about a mile distant 'from a strong body of the enemy, posted in :the rising ground just beyond the woods in our front. General Scott,' turning to one of his escort, said, "Be kind enough, sir, to rerurn to Major Gniteral Brown; inform ' him that I havee r fullen in with'the enemy's 'alivance, posted is force at 'Lundy's Lane,' and that in one half hour I shall have joined battle." "Order up Ripley with the second brigade, direct Porter to gel his volunteers immediately under arms," was the brief reply of hlajer General Brown to my message, and the aids were instantly in their saddles, conveying the ordere.— As 1 galloped back through the woods, continued the Major, the cannon shot screaming by me,tearing the trees and send ing the rail fences in the air in their course, warned me that the contest had begun. But here we are on the battle ground. There,, said the Major, upon the verge of that sloping hill, parallel with the road, and through the grave.} and towards the Niaga ra, was.drawn up the British lines under General Riall, three times greater than our brigades, his right covered with a power ful battery of nine pieces of artillery, two of them brass twentx-fours. The eleventh and twenty.second regiments first leaving . the wood,deployed upon the open ground, - with the coolness and` regularity of a re-' view—and 'were anon engaged furiously in action, the fire from the enemy's line and from the batteriee, which completely corn. mended the position, opening upon them with' tremendous . effect. ' = '! Towson, having hurried up with leis gutis on the left, in vain' endeavored to attain . sofficient'elevatton to-return the fi 7 e . or the battery. The destruction, on our sido was very great. The 'two regirnentii, fought wits the greatest hrayery. They were severely cut up, their amunition became exhausted, and their officers nearly all of them having been killed and wounded, they were withdrawn from action—the' few of beers remaining unhurt throwing thetn selyettinter the ninth, Winch 'new came in Ao:ii4tinerled . . : l# the gallstit Colonel Leaven; • _7llo. ) ,brtnit'oftlie battle new came upon ' them, and-they elone sustained it for some time; - fighting with inifiinehlirig bravery, until their numbers were reduced to one. .• half by the fire 'of the enemy. At this junc ture General Scott galloped up with the jatunnon of chargi a ng up the hill; -but find ' ing them au met Weakened, altered his in ' teutien, intreating them to - hold their '"ground until the . reinfurcenienta, which were , htiatening up, should come to their a ;iistanee. A mouseutary cessation of the ‘otetion ei,sttO, wiele additional forces hur ried up to thesnltt of each army--Ripley's brigetle: lifedrrien's artillery, -and. Porter's ..vithmteers, no the part of the Americans, actin strong retut;ttettmene under General Drummond nu that °loth., 'British. thud man!iiartillsry were attached to • that. of 'foOson, and soon made themselves heard. Poner's brigade displayed'cm the left, while Ripley formed on the skirts of the wood' to the right of Scott's brigade. The engagement was soon renewed, with aug mented vigor. Gen. Drummond taking command in person, with his fresh troops in the front line of the enemy. Colonel Jeaup, who had at the commencement of: the action been posted on the right, succee ded. after a gallant contest, in turning the left flank of the enemy, and came in upon his resorve,'"burdened with prisoners, ma• king himecili visible to his own arm), amid tho darkness, in a blaze of fire," complete. ly deatroying all before him. The fight raged for some time with great fury, but, it became ariparent, uselessly to the Ameri cans, if the enemy retained possession of We battery, manifestly " the key of their , pusition: I was 'standing at the side of Col. Miller, said the Major, when Gen. Ripley rude up one inquired, whether he could storm ,the battery with his regiment, while he supported him with the younger regi; ment, the Twenty third. 11liller, amid the pproar and confusion, deliberately survey ed the position, then quietly turning with infinite coolness, replied, "ill try, Ser." I think I see him now said the Major, as drawing up his gigantic figure to its Lill hsight ho turned to his regiment, drilled to the precision of a piece of mechanism, I hear his deep tones- -Twenty : first—Mien. lion! Form into column—You will ad vance up the hill to storm the battery. At the word 'Halt,' you will deliver your fire at the penlights of the artillerymen, and immediately carry the guns at the point .of the bayonet. Support arms—forward— marehl Machinery could not have moved with more compactness than that gallant regiment followed the fearless stride of its leader. Supported by the Twenty third, the dirk inasirmoved up the hill like one body, the lurid light glitteriug and flick . • bring on their bayonets, as the comb ined fire of the enemy's .artillery and infantry, opened murderously upon them. They flinchednot—they faltered not—the stern deep vo ices of the officers, as the 'deadly shot cut yawning chasms through them, alone was heard. "Close up—steady, men s—steady." Within *a hundred yards of the summit, the .loud "Halt" was followed by a volley—sharp, instantaneous tie a clap of thunder. Another moment a rushing under the white 'smoke, a short', furious struggle with the baYonet, and the Artillerymen were swept from' • their guns. , Another fierce'struggle—the enemy's tine was for ced down the side of the hill, and the victo ry was ours—the position entirely in our hends—their own pieces turned and play ing upon their retreat. It was bought at a cruel price—•few of the officers remained that were not killed or wounded. Tho whole tide of the battle nuiv turned to this point The result of the conflict depeeded entirely upon the ability of the victorious party to' retain it.. Major Hindman was ordered up, and posted his forces at the side of the captured cannon,: while the A • moncan line correspondingly advanced-- Stung with mortification, the braim Goner • al -DrummOnd concentrated his forces, to retake, by a desperate charge the position. The interval amid the darkness was alone filled by the roar of the cataracts, and the groans,of the wounded. He advanced with strong' reinforcements, outflanking each side of the American hne. We were only able, in the murky darkness, to ascertain their approach by their heavy tread.— "They halted within twenty paces--poured in a tepid fire and prepared for the rush." Directed by the blaze, our men returned it with deadly effect, and after a desperate struggle, the dense column recoiled. An other interval of darkness and silence, and again a most furious and desperate charge was made by the British, throwing the whole weight of their attack upon' the American centre. The gallant Twenty first, which composed it, receiving them with undaunted firmness—while the fire from our lines was "deadly and effective." Hindman's artillery served with the most perfect coolness and effect. Staggering, they 'again.recoiled. During this second attack, General Scott in person, Insehatter ed brigade now consolidated into a single battalion, Made two determined charges up. on the right and left flank of the enemy, and in these he received the scars which his countrymen now see on his manly front. Our men were now almost worn down with fatigue, dying with thirst, for which they could -gain no relief. The - British, with fresh reinforcements—their men re. cruited and rested—after the interval of an hour, Made their third and final effort to regain the position. They advanced—de- Hied their fire as ' before—und although it was returned with . the same deadly effect, they steadily pressed for Ward. The Twen istfirst, again sustained the shock, and both lines were soon engaged in a9conflict, oh atimite ' and' dreadful • beyond descrip. tion." The right• end left of the American line fell hack for a mcment, but were im mediately rallied by their officers. "So 'desperate did the battle now become, that many batalions on both sides wero forcou back," the men engaged in indisctiminato melee, fought halid to hand, and with mus kets clubbed; add "so ten& was the con flict where the cann o n worn stationed, that Mujer Hindman had to engage them over his guns and gun carriages. and finally to sqike two ofhis pieces, under the appie ! !Missies that they would fall into the hands of the enemy." General Ripley . at length made a most desperate and determined charge upon both of the enemy's flanks—they- wavered—re coiled—gave way— and the centre soon following, they relinquished the fight and made a . final retreat. The annals of war fare . o this - continent have never shown more desaciate fighting. - Bayonets were repetitedly crossed; 'and .after the action, many of the men Were found mutually transfixed. Tho British force engaged was ,about five thousand mea—the Atnericait, thirty five hundred: the combined lees in killed and wounded seventeen hundred and twenty two officers and men. The battle commenced at half petit four ii'eloek in t he afternoon, and did not terminate till . We were so mingled, - Paid the-Ms jor, and so great the confusion in the dark ness, that as I was sitting with a group of officers in the earlier part of the night, on horseback, a British Soldier canto up to us, and recovering his musket, under the sup position that ho was addressing one of his own officers, said, "Col. Gordon will be much obliged, sir, if you will march up the three hundred mon in the road to his aesis• tance immediately, as he is very hard pres sed." 1 called him nearer, and pressing hie musket down over my holster, made him prisoner. "W hit have I done, sir," said the astonished man, "what have I done?" and to convince British officers,as he supposed, of his lejalty, exclaimed, "Hur rah for t ithe Ring, and damn the Yankees." As he was marched to the rear, the poor fellow was cut down. by a grape shot. In another part . of the held, an American Aid pulled up suddenly on a body of men under full march. In reply to his demand, "What regiment is that?" he was answered, "The Queen's Royal Rangers. With great presence of mind, he replied, "Halt! Queen's Rangers, till further orders," and then turning his horse's head, galloped from their dangerous proximity. It we:, a hor rid conflict. Humanity sighs over the slaughter of the brave men that fell in it But, here we are, at the grave: yard, with its drooping willows and flowering locusts. Still—still--and quiet now. No armed men disturb its calmness and repose—no ponderous artillery wheels toddy cut its consecrated mounds—no ruffian jest---no savage execration—no moan of anguish, break now upon its hallowed silence. The long glass and blossoming heather waves green slike o'er the•graves of friend and enemy. The marble tulle the story of the few—the many, their very parents know not their resting place. See this broken wooden slab—it has rotted off even with the ground ) and lies face 'downwards, the earth worm burrowing under it, in this neglected corner.

Then throw it into a large tub cool, and when FELIFECTLY COOL, pour it ovur your beef or pork; to remain the usual time, say tour or five weeks. The meat must be well covered _with the pickle, and should not be put down for at least two days alter killing, during which time it should be slightly sprinkled with pcwder4 salpetor.

The Morn .;s have .twelve atakesr—pla ces where they are to build temples, &c.— correspondent to the twelve tribes of Israel. On one side of my station three miles dis tant, they have driven one of these stakes. They have been making great efforts the pat winter, and more than 2Q in this vi cinity have joined them. In other parts of the country they have made many converts and now hold the balance of political pow er, and can elect whom they please to of ' fics. Of course, office holders are their bumble servants. They aro also making great efforts in other parts of the territory. They clutm all the miraculous. gifts and powers of the apostles—daily show signs , and wonders which overpower the credu lons, and manifest a zeal wh:ch I have nev er seen before in any class of reli,!ionists. I will give you a summary of their pre tentious. 1. Joieph Smith is a prophet—as truly as Isaiah; and the Book of Mormon, with all the revelations of the prophet, which now makes quite a volume, are of equal author. ity with the Ohl and Now Testaments. 2. Theirs is the only true church-- they know this with absolute certainty.— Every other professed disciple of Christ holds the Ramo relation to this true church, that the Jews did who in the time of the apostles rejected the Saviour. 3. No man can be a Christian, or be ad mttted into the kingdom of God, unless he is baptised by immersion by au authorized utrson. 4. None are authorized to preach or ad minister the ordinances but such as arc called by direct revelation, and set apart by. the authorit) of Joseph Smith. All oth• era are 'false teachers and fide° prophets, wolves in sheep's clothing. thieves and rob. berg,' es they say in their preaching. 5. All who are baptised receive the Ho. ly Ghost and the forgiveness of sins. Hence they can work all the miracles promised by our-Sivieur in Mark xvi. 6. Zion, or the new Jerusalem is .in Missouri; where the Saviour is to appear, in a short time in person. 7. All that believe are called on by tho Spirit of God,.to assemble in the vicinity of the various stakes and help to build tem; pies. The Indians riga the lost tribe of Israel and during this generation, they 'are all to bo gathered at these points; while all others are to be cut off—that is all who do not receive Jos. Smith as a prophet of the Lord. • 8. For such as will not believe in this life, a kind of purgatory is prepared in en Other world, where they will be brought to their senses and made to receive the proph et; while those who have once joined the Mormons and have apostacised, have nev er forgiveness, neither in this life nor in, that which is to come. 0. The prophet predicted eleven years ago, that• Zion is to be built in Missouri in this generation. But they have diaposses• sed, and the city Of their hope lies desolate, still they ere not without hope. Nauvoo, their principal city, in this vicinity, contains 300(1 inhalntants. Every one of a certain age is called on to bear arme,and the 'legion of the Lord' is drilling twice a week, and it is the common belief they intend soon to attempt to retake their claim in Missouri. 10. Joseph Smith translated the Bible a now. In the. first 3 Chapters of Genesis he added the amount of at least one Wile chapter, for which there is not the least shadow of authority. So in other pasts, lie makes -any alterations that he pleases c. g. in the Genesis vi. 6, where it is said 'it repented the Lord that he made man upon the earth,' the new translation reads, 'it re pented Nosh that he made nine, die. You smile at my apprehensions, but I do fear the influence of this people. If this delusion shall be Stayed, the minds of the subjects will resemble our prairies after dui fire has burnt them naked—lnfidelity or Atheism will be the result. But when or where it will be stayed, I cannot see. No• thing is too foolish for men to believe, and unless it can hut be met timely, well direct ed and energetic efforts, it will spread. I have had the audacity to call in question the authority of their prophets and apostles —to go into the midst of them and try to teach them bettor things. Ido not expect to raise a doubt in the mind of one whoa is already a Mormon but I may prevent some from becoming such. It troubles them very much to be questioned on their doc trine before a public assembly.

The news of the acquittal of MeLcod had the best effect upon the funds, end tended very ma terially to quiet the feverish • excitement heretofore produced by that affair in Great Britain. The Acadia arrived out with the proceedings in the case on the 20th ult. A great calamity had befallen the Br,. tish nation by the burning of a portion a' the Tower of London, and the total destruc tion of all the trophies of British glory there deposited; in addition to which more than two hundred thousand stands of arms were destroyed. The entire loss is estima ted at more than £1,000,000. An extensive fraud had been attempted on the exchequer, by an issue of spurious notes. The individual taken into custody wns - said to hold a high station in one of the covernment offices. The amount of the -fraudulent issue is . said to be as high as £150,000 or £200,000, according to the confession of the party. The bills do not appear to have been, strictly speaking, a forgery, for,. according to general report, the signature of Lord !Monteagle was oh. tamed ki a surreptitious roomier.

JOSIAH Qtmicy's PARK.—Josiah Quin cy, President of Harvard College, has one of the finest farms in the vicinity of Boston. It is extenive and surrounded by n flour ishing hawthorn hedge, but there isnot so interior fence on the premises; the whole presents a single field, devoted to all the various purposes of agriculture. No part of it is allotted to pasture, properly speaking, as his cattle are fed in their stalls and never suffered to roam over the fields—and the advantage of his system are thus set forth:—Formerly there were sev en miles of interior fence to be kept in re poir,but by keeping the cattle up the whole of this expense is saved. Formerly sixty acres of this farm were devoted to pastu rage; but now, a greater number of cattle by one.third are kept by the products of twenty acres, and the cattle are in the best condition. The saving by these means isenornious, and the immense advantages arising from it too apparent to be dwelt upon. During the Bummer the cattle are fed upon l ams, green oats or barley, cut the day before end suffered to wilt m the sun, but the manure which is thus saved will more than pay the extra expense and trouble., The farm is most highly cultivated, .and every kind of grain and vegetable has a place.

Powning iv a good one—the beet we have rend for gnme time. IVAsttixo•roN, 15th Nov. 1841. To the Editors of the New York Express, the •acne paper my old friend Mr. Dwight printed a elicit age. MR. Eurrunst—l wird you in my last letter that Capting l'ylor, had gone to Vir gittny—and that whilst he was goon, I was to put all the Bank plans into my fanning mill and blow the ehunrufr the clear corn. Well, this I►as been no ford of a job I can tell you, for out of mere than a two bushel basket of plans, thorn aint more than about a good double handful of solid clear corn left. Capting Tyler hay now got back from Virginny, and when I showed him my gift ings—"well," soya he, "Major your mill has made a small matter on't any how —hut ►here is ennf loft for seed." "Jest exactly," says I, "and if we can't raise enuf from this small parcel for all our ' purposes then I'm mistaken." "Now Ma. jor," says Capting ler,"l should like to know your.notions about this matter, for wo have got all other things in a good train except this plagy money matter—if we can old) get that going right then we can say• to all creation--el/ the fields are planted • and if Providence smiles on us—wo shall have good crops." "That is a fact," says 1, "and if you'll listen I'll till you a story in as short order as I can." The Capting took his seat and pinted his nose right at toe, and there is one thing I have particu larly noticed in the Capting, which is not the caso with most folks—and thut is,which over way his nose pints it is a sartin sign that he looks that way so there is no mis take shout it. Well, in the first place. we settled the business about the origin of money—how and why it was isvonted —first iron money, next brass and copper money—next silver and gold money, and bow in the process of time and digging, iron money got out of fashion, next brass and copper money, and now in England even silver money, Rs a "legal tenthly ," but upon the whole as yet, that silver and gold, are at, the present day money but there is no telling how soou, by science and — digging, that even one or both these metals may not be found so abundant as to make them too common fur constitutional money, or what folks call measures of value— just es wen; or brae., or copper have become. 'Well, that being settled, we next examined into paper mon• ey, how that Was invented—being a eepre. 'tentative 'Money—this is, a kind of mon ey—thet not only represents gold and silver, but houses and Firm, and wheat, and pork, and beef; and ships end rnerchandize, and every thing else in creation, called properly. "Now," says I, i'Capting Tyler, keep your nose to this pint (for as I said afore, the Capting's nose carries lug,' his eyes and ears along with it, and the Capting's nose is an almighty nose, awl the Duke of Wel lington's is but a prig to it,) "now," says 1, 'ever since paper money was invented by tho groat democratic party of creation, who insisted that industry rii;rl property was as good, and should be represented as well, as mere gold and silver—they begun a new War between money on ono side, and pro porty and industry on the other—that is, money wanted to get hold of as much pro perty and industry as possible, and property and industry wanted to get hold of as much money as possible—each of course tryin to ,depreciate the other." "In this state of things," says I, "what was and is the true duty of Government, whose duty it is to protect alike the owners of money and the ownersof property and industry—(property and industry being one and the same thing, for industry creates property.") Hero we broke off; as it was getting late, and went to sleep upon it, and 1 would ad vise folks generully to do the seine thing, providing they think well over the matter, and understaed it well before reading fur ther. Well'the next day we turned to egin and went over the whole matter. As history and facts tell us how at one time when all was snug aud all branches of industry was working along smoothly, Government took a notion to let folks manage their new pa- par money, and broke up the old balance wheel—and then how State, Banks, and States themselves all went to work making en extra batch of Bills and Bonds and ail kinds of 'promises to pay'— nnd all consider ed ae money—and then of course how high property got—for land and wheat and pork and wages and all, will and must t ire in price just so far as you cheapen money by making it toe plenty—and then how Guv• ferment got alarmed and issued Specie Crreu/ors, and woulk'nt take any kind of money but hard money, and eniashed away against all banks and paper money rnakeis, bill , bonds, notes and mortgages, and brought a bushtl measure right down to a quart pot—calling every Mitll a rascally speculator who got caught on the wrong side of the fence. So that a good many folki who did not keep the run of things wore like a man who borrowed ice in Janu ary and agreed to.pay it back in August— but government folks who held fat offices didn't (eel it as much—their pay was the sante in gold—and of course the more val uable gold became the bettor for them. Why, says 1, Capting Tyler, if yuu bring all kind of property down to gold and silver, and measure it by that standard alone, and have no other kind of money, then 1 say, giving all the prcper . tv in the Uuton itsfair chance, you could with one }ear of your wages (which you have a right to. Lko gold) hay Moro property than you could shake a stick at. Now, is that fair and row sontible7 Is it right and just that this war of motley against property should go on till it gels to scalping, or shell the whole People by the - - Governnvit put 4 stop to it, nud so adjuA waiters that "property owners" apJ "osoney of, tiers" shall both hove a Isar clotheul If a man buys a farm and pays down half in cash and mortgages the balance, and (:overntnent adopts measures that changes money matters .suddenly, and when pay tiny conies he finds that what was worth n dollar is net worth tell cer,ts in "Constitu tional money," away goes his farm and he is a bisg. ) 2 . r,—and just so it is with every body except the shaver and tho fat office holder. This ought not to be so and must nut be so. It is the duty of the Govern ment to prevent it —and if the' Constitution don't say so in so many words it only shows that the wise folks who made it did net think rt necessary to add to what it does say—that it was .the object and end of the People by their Gbvernment to make themselves as happy and . prosperous as they could. That is what I call an honest and fair constniclion of all doubtful pints. The; country says 1, is now in trouble. Some of these Statescan't pay their just debts because the people of those States are jam'd—there is property enuf and industry enough all ready to make a flea-bite of the debts, and instead of being the scum of the world, or that part on't we own, we are just as able to put the boot on the other foot usi as easy as to say so. And with that 1 handed over to the Cupting that part of clean corn 1 had been fanning the chaff from, and tell'd him it was his business and Mr. Forward's business to see to the plant on't. 1 had done my work in fanning off. the chaff and now they must do theirs, and if they Aid not know how, then to lot "the People's Congress" do it—that the evil upon tho country had passed off from "the rascally and unpopular Banks" . and got down among the "popularity" itself— and this mach] a now question on't, and had nothing tondo with the Vetoes as it once had •—for it had reached a pint that a Veto could not cure or remedy." And hero I left the matter—and if you want to know more about it,l refer you to Cupting Tyler's ''next message and Mr. Forward's Treasury . report, and ilyou don't find it there then look to Congress. And in the mean time if you want to trade safely, borrow ice in August and agree to return the same quan tity in January, for every other bargain is unsartin till Government does something to settle this money question.

TIIE IJALF•RRASONINO zi tuAL —By Water and by Fire! —The sagacity of the Mammoth Elephant, (who . ja attached to the Menagerie and Circus) has displayed itself during his late visit to Richmond and Petcrsb.irg. Whilst the cavalcade was crossing the bridge ovor the James River, the Elephant quietly placed his foot upon its floor, but not satisfied with the shaking of the timbers, ho withdrew from it, and immediately descended to the river, for the purpose of swimming across. 0/3 a sign, however, from his rider, ho stopped—took him up with his proboscis, placed him on his neck, and then swam across the river. At Petersburg, he was chained with one leg ton post, in Powell's stable, which was consumed by fic•e. As soon es the flames began to speed, the animal finding his quar ters most uncomfortable, exerted his enor mous strength, pulled up the post which had bean rammed down in very hard ground. released him from "durance vile," walked out of the stable to a respectful distance,and than quietly turned round to witness the progress of the conflagration.—Richmond lnq. A PARRICIDZ—An appalling instance of the destructive influence of intoxication, is exhibited in. a melancholy affair which occurred on Tuesday evening of last week, about five miles from Laprarie, L.

Yet the chapter of mental alienation ends not here; for a few days since, the brother of him who was found io Charles river last June, went to Exeter to prove his brother's will nt the probate office in that town, when and where hu attempted suicide by jumpinginto the river near the bridge! After remaining in the water some time ho was discovered, taken out, and re cusciiated. --'This family was in very easy circum stances; and the one who put a period to hip existence last February, but whose body was not found until months after his death, has several times represented his town in our state legislature, and has served two or three years in the Senate from the second senatorial district. How weak, how frail is pour Man when reason totters or when resolution fails!--/V. Paper. COL. EDWARDS.—This lark takes every thing as "cool as summ,pr's morning." He says that the world wags along aa easy with him as though ho was busy in it, making up the gamo of checkers that corn. prise it. Ho remarked on Saturday that he got dully his $3 a week's worth of good and delicious food from the Claronder house, that he-had his wine, his segars, his news papers, and all the other little nick necks, of life except one, and that he missed more than all the rest combined—that was a nice, tidy, active, pretty little devil of a woman, to help him pass away his leisure hours. Major Hyde should not let him suffer. By the bye, however, the • Toxian -government declare that if he is not convicted hero, they intend to obtain a requisition for him, in order to make him pay the balance of State prison service ho owes that govern- ment. We also understand that Edwards has commenced a. suit in the Supreme Court of this State against Brown, Brothers & Co., Edward Corrie, Richard Vaux, the Recorder of Philadelphia, and others, for the ieeovery of the money taken (:amountingf roma to over $5( ,000-and also a suit Pm &Magee against the same persons for 8100,00.
