ow4s2 zaittoJlkataa GETTYSBURG, FEBRUARY 15, 1842 Gettysburg High school. The Grand Jurors of Adams County, (January, 19420 most respectfully tender their thanks to Mr.WILIAAI'd CLARK. the Principal of the Public High School, in the Borough' f Gettysburg, for his courtesy and politeness in affording them an opportu. nity of visiting the Institution. They were highly pleased with the correct . deport. rent of the scholars and with the good order, regularity and admirable discipline of the school. The proficiency of the pupils, exhibited in their varied scholastic exercises, was interesting in a high degree; gave crettable evidences of the prosper. cue and II mrishing condition of the institu , tion, and reflected well merited praise upon Mr. Clark; whose superior talents, indus try and persevering energy in communica ting instruction to his' pupils, have been always very highly spaken of and univer• sally acknowledged. The Grand Jurors, who are severally interested in the cause of 'Education, deem it due to this successful and accomplished Instructor, and to his highly interesting schen!, to give publicity to these remarks; and they unanimously trust and hope that his meritorious efforts in the dissemination of useful and scientific knowledge may be duly appreciated, and that he may be generously and liberally re munerated for his services. By ordor of.the Grand Jury, DAVID NIceRF:ARY, Pore - nan. Gr:ltty.9l - iurg, Jan., 1942. Rena:arks ornr. Stevens In the tlonse of Representatives on Tues. day lust, on the final passage of the Re. sumption Mr. S'ri•:vi;,s stated that he would ex plain the considerations which induced him to vote fir the bill. lithe same influences had not been previously discovered by the people, he'inight beim hesitated before he voted for, it, or in other words, hew() voted against ihe bill. He had however been induced by the circumstances of comtnuni ty'and the state of public opinion to support it, he did not like the bill in several par ticulars; he believed it inefficient to . . meet' the - objects in view; he did not believe it would produce a resuniptia of specie pay meats, and looked on it, as a bill to relieve the banks from their obligations .to the community, while at the same time it made no'further provision to compel specie pay ments than existed under the law of 1824- Ile would briefly state why he thought,tio. Whit penalty is provided by this bill in case of non-resumption? . It . provides for the forfeiture nf charter on taking . certain specified proceedings. But we find these self same provisions in the law of 1824,. and they were incorporated in every 'law on the subject, preYious to hist year's legisla tion.. He would ask if inder, the old laws it had riot been in the power of any citizen to atifirive any bank of its charter' which refused to pay its liabilities? The only difference between the provisions at this bill and all ihe others that bed been passed on the subject of hanks, 'was the length of time it required to inuture the proceedings to"iompel a hank to 'ermine specie pay. merits: in some instances it required 80 or 90 days, but this was to act immediately. Why then,.he would ask, were. not the penalties and provisiiins of the law exacted for the last 10 or 12 years,. by those who had been the open arid avowed enemies of the banking system? Why have they trot been fbrced either to surrender their char tars or pay their liabilities? Why is it that within the last five years, (and he, con tended that no real resumption had tale!) place within that time) there has not a man been found in this Commonwealth, 4. v, from -motives of patriotism if not -rested motives to put in practice . . : • —.-13 been preaching againSt engine 'of the bunking ason is evident, that al .• ,ached this doctrine against the: . • I ticensingly, thatthetimple , really o— , them sincere, sincere, btill they did not want it io be practiced upon! They wonted the banks still to exist despite . their protests lioris; but. they wanted the war qry against tbem continued as a potent leier by. which tolnovt . ,the politiCal feeling gain Politieal,power. , • s Thussortie Were deteri•ed frnm taking their redress against • suepunded, banks by political influences; others were MA ...need by the peculiar communities in which they lived and the strength of secial ties and other' powerful influences, and if they sought. Ails reme I) to sue a bank, they were tither hought or frightened from t*ir - titnposes. What then is, to be done to,prevent these operations or defeat the strength of such social influences? The only 'way to make the banks pay these liabilities bolo prevent then from making a geerf_ot suspension,. by' prohibiting them front enforcing the payment of debts due thinti.when they refuse to pay what they thStrnsalves owe such a course would itornedi itely operate'on their interests and the would he enMpelled to pay all their owe dues . or Jo into liquidation to collect wit‘t Wes dde them. fin itutteci4believed'thitt bill was nut citlctifitted to' compel; anti would out effect a resumption of specie payments. But if it were effectual, last year' a forced loan was levied Item the banks, of 63,100,000, according to the plan adopted for yeaes.— Moro than halt of this sum was actually paid in, on aplain and distinct agreement, that the banks taking it should not bo call ed on to resume specie payments, and that all penalties should ho stayed against them for five years or until provision was made by the Commonwealth to repay the loan. Now tines this bill contain provisions for this repayment? The banks accepted of the conditions / unwise as they were in his judgment; indeed he considered the pro visions of that law the most certain way to corrupt and degenerate the currency. But it was passed by the delegates of the per). ple armed with the, power and, the banks assented to its terms, Have they now con wlted that their guaranteed fivo years of suspension shall be waived and that the , contract shall be violated? [COMIUNICATgD He would grant that such, infraction operated fur tho benefit of the banks—but they need not , refuse such benefits when offered—for by that law the banks were responsible for the issues under it—it was idle to urgue that the State was solely re sponsible. If the law had been honestly carried out, the banks would have absorbed it all for debts due them, for they had four times as much due them as they had au thority to issue. Let not gentlemen say that these Relief notes were issued only on the responsibility of State 'stocks-- alg.ough in the cases of the Erie and Tow. ande Banks such was the fact—for if that was the true construction of the law than it was more infamous and a more palpable violation of the constitution then was in• tended by its framers and ought to be abrogated. If these bills were issued, simply through an agent of the guaranty of the State, it was nothing more or less than issuing bills of credit, which was expressly prohibited by the constitution of the United States. It is in this view of the case that ho thought when the present bill took away the liability of the banks to redeem these bills, it wps operating in their favor; for if they were obliged to redeem them all at par and invest thern as provided by the law, they would lose the difference between their par value and that of State stocks, now near fifty per cent. There was another almost overwhelming olijectioa to the passage of this bill. If' these notes are not redeemed by the banks, if their sponsors repudiate them, they will become worthless. Ni, man who pretends to any knowledge of political economy, can deny that any currency put out for a special purpose must depreciate in value and • the holders bo the losers. If you prmitulgate a currency to be taken only for trading horses, it will not furnish a medium for the traffic of farmers aad dealers. Every body must know that we cannot make a eircula, lion to pay one species , of ilebt which will answer the purposes of any , class; it must sink to its nominal value, and who then loses by it?—the People—the constituents we represent, and' particularly the poor and laboring classes. These were a few of the reasons he had for disliking the bill; hut notwithstanding all its evils, he believed its rejection would be more di9astrous than its passage. All know that for years the great object of po. Mical warfare and political declumatiorkhad been the currency and the banking question. And it could not be denied that after repeat ed trials and after every evidence bad been spread before them, except the one now proposed; after the. wisest and ablest had given their opinions upon it, the majority of the people had decided in favor of those who condemned the, banking system. It was evident' that the glitter of gold and the jingle of silver had blinded the eyes and,ear• ned dway' the hearts of the people, tin they believed it was the only circulation in nature, and they never would be satisfied until the trial of its efficacy had been made by the means we now propose to lay before them. He would not stop to argue how fallacious it was , to suppose that a great and highly Commercial nation could carryon business without a circulating, 'paper medium, unless the result was to grind down the laborers to the dust and 'starvation;and make them the slaves of the rich. The people would not believe him, or those who said it, and on a recent occasion they had again recorded their decision on this important question. ,What was the cause of the derangement of business? What made our commercial men tremble, but that the/ did not know where this excitement would end, and - the country was, without any permanent policy? It ap peared to him as if this war waged between parties, around the currency, fighting over tts dead body; was more disastrous than the very woret termination of the war or the death and overthrow of the banking system. He asked, in candor, of gentlemen, whether front city or country, ‘ if an end of this con tinued strife and the commencement cifsome fixed and settled plan, was not better than this long and bloody War? Is it not better that the people shabld test their - approved doctrines by'expetience? If tkey are good, they can hold last to them; if evil, they can repudiate thern, and ask their friends to make another repeal of this law ! So, last year, gentlemen who were asked to vote tbr the Revenue Bill, are now solicited to vote matters back as they were before! He did not blame members for so voting; the people and the Exectitive asked it of them. Tliese were his 'mimes for voting for the bill; he hoped his doing so would not drive others off from its support. He wanted the law to pass the. flutist) and Senate, and let the people giie it a fair , trial. MILDWINTERB.—The Lancaster In telligebcer notices, the ceincidence, that mild winters haie happened at a regular periodical distance of twenty:six years, as follow*:-18d6, 1712, 1738, 1764, 1 - 90, 1816. 042. We once knew. a rum drinker, who had a breath so strong, that he could not hold it, "to wave his life,"—and so he died. • A FACT NOT GENERALLY KNOWN. The. Washington correspondent of the New York Courier .4. •Enquirer of Saw day last, 'has the following interesting statement of facts which are not generally known. It adds more to the evidence al ready before the country, that John Tyler is not only a traitor to the party that elect ed him, but that he will stoop to the mean est falsehood and deception in private life when it suits his,temporary purpose. It is humiliating to believe that a President of the United Slates will degrade himself by low, contemptible falsehoods, and by sacri ficing every thing that honorable men hold sacred to gratify his awn unholy ends•— But so it is. "1 have heard some devolopements in regard to the movements of President TY LER about the time of the two vetoes of last session, which, may not • be. perused without interest. On the eighteenth day Of August last, immediately after the first veto, Capt. John Tyler, with , all the passionate earnestness of, a child entreating for mercy from a justly exasperated father, who with uplifted hand, waves the pain inflicting birch,,threw himself upon the mercy of his Cabinet—and begged them to procure from , the Whig members of Congress, some time for him to reflect and collect his bewildered and scat tered ideas, before the Bank question was further pressed. Yielding to his 'piteous representations, Webster and other members of the cabinet agreed to go around and visit the members of the Senate severally and in private, urging upon them the propriety of giving the desired time. To do the pre. mier, and those in his confidence at that time, Justice, it must be admitted, that they left nu stone unturned to effect their purpose; and by their efforts, seconded as they were by high minded and patriotic men in the Senate, who determined, it possible, to secure some good to the country, at what ever risk to themselves, they succeeded in obtaining the consent of thift body to the second bill, which was read by the Presi• dent previous to its passage, and received his decided approbation. And here let me say, "en parenthesis," that I am aware of tho importance of the declaration contained in the last fifteen words of the above paragraph, and I ap • peal to the Secretary of State to say wheth er the allegation is true or not. A very few days after the President had in this decided manner, thrown himself upon the mercy of his cabinet, we find him performing an act which I will leave your readers to charaCterize by the epithets which it deserves. He wrote a letter to Judge M'Lean, requesting him to come to . Washington as Secritary of Slate, offering him a carte blanche to form the Cabinet as should suit himself. In consequence of this letter the Judge came on. But before entering inter any decided negociation he insisted on obtaining from the ,President an assurance that he did not intend to'be if candidate for re elec tion, and on ascertaining the principles on which he intended to conduct the Gov ernment. • . On the first point Judge M'Lein found the President entirely unapproachable. He obtained but little satisfaction on the last—and he found Captain Tyler prepared (notwithstanding ho had offered carte blanche,) to nominate at least three rr)em hers of the Cabinet himself. After a 'very short stay in town, therefore, the Judge rejected the tiler, and returned home. His visit to tVashington was never generally or publicly known. • From the Richmond Compiler A SHOCKING NIURDER.—One of the most brutal murders on record, was committed io our city on Friday night. It has greatly shocked tale feelings of this community, so little used to scenes of disorder and vie• lence. This murder was committed by a man named Fletcher Heath, on the body of Adelia Harris, a mulatto woman. The murderer • previously attempted to kill Carter Wells; and inflicted a wound upon him with a pistol shot, which, that it was not immediately fatal, seemed almost mi raculous. This was between 11 and I'2 o'clock at night. The patties had been to the Theatre, and it is said that Wells ac companied the female on her return home —to which fact is attributed the immediate cause of the desperate and brutal deeds of Heath. He and Wells are represented to have been co-partners in a gambling con cern. Wells returned to their room first, and while he was in the act of mixing a drink at the sideboard, Heath entered, walked up to him, and placing his pistol behind and a little below the middle of the ear of Wells, fired it ofr—Wells fell and was picked up by a negro man who was present, who aided him in getting out of the house into the street, when he walked to his boarding house. There, the pistol ball was extracted by Dr. John Cutlen. It passed around the roof of the mouth, and lodged in the outer corner of the right eye. It is thought he will recover from the woand. After this attempt at vsassination, death.seized a bowie knife from the draw er of Wells, rushed down to the house of Adelia Harris, and murdered her in the most brutal manner. It appears from the testimony at the coroner's inquest, that Heath broke out a . pannel,of. the door and got in, by which time the deceased bud descended a portion of the stairs. Hemet her and struck her thrice on the head with the, ponderoh.. knife, either of the blows being sufficient to take away life. Two of herfingere were cut off and fell upon the steps, and her arms - were broken in two places--;this no doubt was done while she endeavored, to preteet her head by raising her hand. The'deceased 'regained - the . room fell and expiredllmost. immediately. The testimony is strong; but it is neither, necessary to the point's° of this notice 'or the ends of justice that we should state it more particularly. rho murderer made hie escape, •and owing to the retnisness of the watch, no in formation of the occurrence was communi calcine) the Mayor until he came down in the morning to atter.d to the duties of his office. The watch were on the alert about the city, but it was their duty to have in formed the Mayor, that he might have taken the proper steps to arrest the mur derer. Though late, the Mayor resorted to every means in his power for this pur pose. Beath is said to be a most desperate and vindictive man, and had been heard to threaten the life of his partner and the wo man. ' This horrid tragedy cannot, in the minds of reflecting people, attaint the fame of our city. The character of the parties is such as should be suffic:ent to prevent any snch consequence. In every city they are to ,be found in the haunts of vice—so steeped in brutal passions, so dead to shame and guilt, so perfectly devoted to tho accom plishment of their own brutish enjoyments, that violence and murder, and every shade and‘lhape of crime, must form a part, if not the sum and substance of their history.— But let us hope that this terrible scene may not be without its salutary effect even in those most depraved walks of life; and fur ther, that retributive ju.tice may yet reach the cold blooded murderer and thus 'make him an example to deter others from a similar fate. We learn he was a native of. Petersburg, where he has relatives, among whom is an aged and respected mother, whose severe afilictton in the evening of her days must call up the heartfelt sympa thies of all. THE MURDERER ARRESTED.--The Offi cars, Pearce and White, returned to the city by the Petersbuirg train, on Sunday ti orning, having" Heath in custody. They arrested him at Jarratt's, a watering place some 30 miles from Petersburg, in Sussex county, Saturday night. He came :there and took passage in the cars for the,South; and after , ho entered the cars was a) ested and confined by the officers . The con tinued with the train until they met the cars coming north, to which they trans ferred their prisoner and brought him on hero. He was committed to jail by the Mayor yesterday morning. When arrest. ed he exhibited strong emotions of fear— he trembled like a leaf, and resigned him self into the hands of the officers. OARING OUTRAGE AND ItOMIERY. Mr. John Nicholson, lottery and exchange broker, whose office is in Baltimore, near Howard street, was waylaid last evening, about seven o'clock, at the corner of Paca and Baltimore streets, by some daring villians, while on his way home, and knocked down and robbed of money a mounting in all to ten thousand dollars.- 11.1 r. Nicholson, when found, was lying prostrate on the street, entirely unconscious of what had happened. His head and face were much disfigured. He wus promptly conveyed to the Gen. Wayne Inn; whore medical aid was obtained. Since the above was in type, we have been informed that Mr. Nicholson has re covered his reason, so as to be able to de scribe partially the villians who attacked and robbed him. There were two of them, one a stout built man, with a cap, the other appeared to. be an ordinary sized individual. He first met and passed them on the Street, when they immediately turned and overtook him, ono of them aimed a blow, with a club, which mashed his nose almost flat with his face, and frac tured the upper jaw bone in two places.— The blow.was undoubtedly aimed for the upper part of the head, and had it struck there would have most probably deprived him of life. Drs. Wright and Baxley were called to his aid soon after the attack, and found him entirely insensible, and in a very pre carious state. By the application of the appropriate remedies, he was gradually re stored to consciousness, and his physicians this morning have full hopes of his recove• r y.--Bult. Pat. Feb. 9. AN , AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATII.—A death of a sudden character took place at St. Joseph's church Sunday morning, about 8 o'clock. The deceased was Mr. John Costello, a gentlemar. about 60 years of age. He intended to receive the com• munion, and the clergyman at the time was administeringthe sacrament .to those around the alter. Mr. C. weir first dis covered in a dying state in his own pew,. the second from the altar; and in a few minutes the vital spark fled from his frail frame, nod he died without an apparent struggle. Apoplexy is supposed to have been the cause. The scene was solemn and awful. Mr. C. was a native of Dub lin, but had resided in this city for a num. ber of years. He bore an exemplary character for philanthropy and piety- The officiating clergyman made some judicious reflections on the shortness of life and its . uncertainty, and referred in impressive and touching terms, to the character of the deceased. The Rev. Mr. Carter also alluded, during the morning service at St. Mary's, to the p'ainfully interesting occur rem,. Truly, "in the midA of life wo are in death." It is probable, however, that had the good old man selected his own mode and_place of discerioe, that he would have chosen the House of God, and the period of Divine worship.—Phil. 111. ON Dlr.—There are rumors froth Wash= ington that Mr. Forward will take the ya cant place of the United. States District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsyl vania, which has been offered him, and that the Treasury Department, thus vaca ted, will be filled by transferring Mr. Spencer.to it from the War Department. In the event of this transfer it is said the Secretary of War will be given to Pennsyl vania. Another report is, that .Mr. Sergeant may take the Treasury ,Depart ment. Mr. Sergeant would make an excel lent cabinet officer, and his appointment give great satisfaction.—/301'. Put. HOSE ME BARBA et ITY.• - fia lead pour ed into the ear of a Wife and Mother ! The Belfast (!11e.) Signal states that the ofJoseph Jellison.of Brooke, in Waldo county, came near being murdered by_hav ing hot lead poured in her eur. The Fa mily consisted of Mr. Jellison and wife, and three small children. They retired to bed as usual. About two o'clock she was awakened by a sensation as thQugh her head was on fire, and screamed. Her husband se;zed hold of her and asked what was the matter. She told him to get some water and pour into her ear, which., reliev ed her somewhat. They sat up together the remaining part of the night; She receiv ed nothing but kind treatment, though no physician was sent for until morning. The physicians testified that the eavaci ty in the ear was filled with either lead or some fusible matter—that it was visible upon examination, and that the cavity of the ear was so firmly filled that they could not remove it with their instruments, though they had taken out several pieces. The woman, as may be supposed, has near ly ifnot wholly lost her senses, and whether she will survive is doubtful. Jellison has been examined before a magistrate and sulfated to go at largo. Tho mail from Steubenville, due at the Pittsburg Post office on Friday, failed to arrive, in consequence of a disaster which is detailed in the subjoined extract from the Steubenville Union. Tho damaged mail wai, received on Saturday. 'MIRACULOUS ESCAPE—STAGE TEAM DROWNED-- MAIL RECOVERED.—Yesterday . morning about (bur o'clock, the mail stage loft this place for Pittsburg, with two la dies and a gentleman, as passengers. In attempting to cross Harmon's Creek,— which had swollen with the heavy rains,— about a mile east of this place, the stage became uncoupled, the driver fell forward, and the body• of the stage rolled over and over, with the passengers in it,till it caught on a root. The passengers had then to work theniselves out or be drowned. which they did. The •driver rescued the two ladies, who were floating down the stream. The, gentleman saved himeelf. The hor ses became entangled in the harness and were all drowned. The mail was also in• the creek, but through the exertions of the exterprising proprietor, Mr. Roberts, it was found yesterday afternoon and brought back to town, opened, dried, and again despatched. None of the letters were damaged; and the newspapers sustained but little injury. SPECIAL MEssExont.—ln the proceed ings of the House of Representatives of O hio, on the 29th ult., we find the following items: "Mr. 51'Nulty called for the reading of the petition and accompanying decumenta, which the chair decided to be out of order. Mr. M'N. took an appeal, and proceeded to read documents in P upp nr t of his position. when be was decided to be out of order, and thereupon took a second appeal, but subsequently withdrew both. Mr. I3yington enquired if it would bo in order' to move that the petition bo sent to Hell Mr. M'Nulty moved that the gentleman from Pike be appointed special messenger for its despatch. The House took a recess." We do not know of what party in nation• al politics Mr. Byingion may be a member, but it is evident that he is friendly to Loco It is astonishing to notice the downward tendency of legislative conduct. Such an inquiry as Mr_ B. made out to have been the cause for sending him out of the house be• fore the adjournment. MARRIAGE IN HIGH Live.--A daughter of President Tyler, represented to be beau tiful and accomplished, as all President's daughters are "by instinct," was married at the White House one evening last week to a Mr. Waller, of Richmond, Virginia, a young lawyer said to be worth in money the comfortable sum of 8150,000, and no doubt endowed with corporeal, mental, and moral graces to match. We do not know whether the happy bridegroem be a "Vit. ginia Abstractionist" or not; but we take it for granted that he feels no constitutional scruples about the propriety in this instance of establishing an institution, (marriage,) "to operate per se throughout the Union." The White House i 9 said within the last twelvemonth to have for the first time been the scene of a death and a marriage. How coldly do. "the furieral baked meats set forth the wadding festival" in this instance! How vastly more did the country loss in the first sad bereavement than she is likely to gain from the event which has just been celebrated with joy and splendour!— York Republican. COLLEGES IN TUE U. STATES.- Accord ing to the Rev. Dr. Cogswell. of Dartmouth College, there are now in the U. States, 109' incorporated Colleges. Of these, only one (Harvard) wis established during the first 50 years after the settlement of .the country. Two were established during the second 50—six the third 50—thirty-six the fourth 50--and sisty•four the last 20 years. GnAnuxres.—About thirty thousand in• dividuals:havo since the establishment of Colleges, been graduated at, the various in• stitutions throughout ilieUnited States -6,000 at Harvard.

The young Lady was left by her Father at a boarding school hear thitt city, where the gentleman became acquainted with Itr, ' and it is believed, that a marriage corm°. ny was performed before they left. The news must be most paintul to the parent, who'doted upon this, his only child. If there was really a marriageceremony in this case, as is believed, we should be glad to know the name of the Clergyman or Magistrate who performed it, for such an act should not grCunnoted, if under the sanction of the laws, it can go unpunished. —N.

Croghan of ono of the western States, who has been an Indian agent, in the service of the Govorn• ment. Her uncle is the celebrated hero of Sandusky, Col. Croglian of the U.S. army. Her father is now in Washington. She is the heiress, it is said, of half it million of dollars. • The affair has produced a great excitement in fashioriable•cireles, and exe crations are, of course, thrown out at ran dom upon all 'parties concerned. The evil; however, exists in the stain of society, and the tone Of fashionable morals that prevail in certain cliques." • LIBERAL CREDITOR9.—The N. Y. EX• press says:—"Settlements to a vi y great extent are, daily made by persons who have • long boon embarrassed. Several came to our knowledge yesterday, where the parties. had nothing to give; but credi tors being satisfied of the honesty and, pov erty of the parties, freely gave them, a dis charge. Indeed it was for the interest of creditors to take this course instead of for. sing parties into bankruptcy. Many have induced their friends to come forward and advance." There are now 29 Medical Schools in the United States, the throe oldest of which ate the University of Pennsylvania, at Phil adelphia, formed in 1765; the Medical School of Harvard College, opened in 1782, and that of Dartmouth College, established in 1797.

Polsorrs. 7 —Nine persons were recently nearly poisoned at Manchester, by parts• king of broth which had been boiled in a copper saucepan. We may add, that if the broth had been removed while hot, no accident would have ensued. Recently also, in Worchestershire, five persons, who had eaten of greens which had become putrid by being boiled when half frozen, and therefore poisonous, were taken ill.— One man and two children died, and the other two with difficulty recovered.
