Richardson, by name, has for several years past been put sued by a malignant and unknown foe, with the view I apparently of murder, but for what object 'is a complete mystery. He has been as ; soiled with rocks, fired upon, beaten with a I club, and stabbed during the hours of dark ness; and yet lie has escaped with his life, although at times badly injured personally. Last summer bis barn was set on fire, and his crops destroyed, probably by the same mysterious enemy: and recently a package was sent t® Mr. It., which was found to contain a large apple; but he forbore to taste it until he had examined it, and well for him it was that lie did so-—f*>r the ap ple was thoroughly poisoned with arse- During tho last month, while Mr. R. wa? visiting a relative in Marion, a negro let" word for him that his aunt WHS lying dr'-n --gerously ill some three miles distant. lie immediately repaired to the place, and found his aunt perfectly well. Concluding that there was a plan to waylay him on his return, he determined to remain where he was. During the night ho lay down to sleep near a window, but was soon after wards awakened by the report of a pistol and a smart sensation of pain in his face and head. It was soon discovered that he had been fired upon through a broken glass in the window, and that the ball bad barely grazed the skin of bis head, and l-.dged iu tbo pillow. This last outrage has sc. greatly aroused the indignation of 'he citizens of Smyth, that every conceivable effort will now be made to discover the fjomdish auth or of those foul designs. Tins is certainly the most remrrkahie instaDccof persevering villainy and miraculous preservation trosu death tbat we over heard of. A DESFEEATE VILLAIN. —The 3t.

Among them that be ferged and procured the record of a deed for a piece of property Belonging to an old mulatto woman cf tea: city, and that sonic time agoh-? empieyed two men to take the life of this woman, so that there be no difficulty iu establishing his claim to her property. The woman states that two , men did come to her house, one a red and I tie other a black-haired man, and after trv | ing to drug her with brandy and wine, hit | her a terrible blow on the side of I the bead w'.tb a stone and left her for ! dead. SINGULAR —Santa Anna .ud the Seven Millions.—A very singular fact in relation to the Mexican Legation at Wasbingtou has be-.-a brought to light here within a f-w days. It scemc thbat when BtnU Anna received intelligence that the Mesiiia treaty had been ratified, and that the seven mil lions had been piaid to Gen. Almonte, and by him- deposited in Bauk, he became seri ously alarmed lest his minister should prove as big a rascal a? himself, and appropriate the money to his own purpose. The temp tation, to Lie corrupt mind, seemed so ir resistible tbat he forthwith recalled Gen. Almonte and sent a minister's commission by tho same mail to Seuor Arangoiz, then Mexican oonsul-Gcoeral at New York, who by this means became '.he trustee of the seven millions deposit. Araugoix availed of this opportunity to retain a eom mr-iJoo of one per cent or §70,000 for his services in band!ing (figuratively) j>o large an cmunav of speaie, whereupon 3srta Au ra turned him out and reinstated Almonte. Singular to ssy, thin transaction never be came public, DV was it known to the Gov ernment cf fhe United State# until quite recently.

The vrery tread-mill operation of bal loting for Speaker has been relieved during the past week by some rich debates, in which members took occasion to ventilate their pol itics and patriotism to their own infinite satisfaction. A dull member wns rarely p Drmitted to get far on in his defini tions wi ;hout being iutenupted by some awkwar d question, which generally had the happy effect of drying him up. At times the v it. and repartee popped over the ileuse like effervescing ginger Leer in June. A few of the speeches have been good, but the majority execrably bad. If any indi cation of the future cau be had from what we have seen in the short period since the meeting of Congress, before an organiza tion has been effected, the number of deaths (political) will astonish the sexton. Several have been unceremoniously carried from the field during the week, and if eve.* heard from again it will only bo in the way of very faint spiritual rappings. They won't make good ghosts. Greeley, who al ways looks at things in a philosophical way, very sensibly suggests iti view of 'the num ber, and to economize space as much as possible, that they bt stuck in the Congres sional burial ground endwise, like driven piles. What astraugc j inible of discordant po litical and social elements does the House present'. Republicanism, Democracy, Know Nothing sm, MorntonDm, Passional Attraction, Filibustering, Fount-risen, and nearly every otuer "ism" and "r.tiorr" has its representative on that floor. Any one but a hopeful .and enthusiastic disciple of demoeracv would despair of harmony ill this strange political omnium gatherum.— The elements are just now so tuixed up that Shakspeare biuue'f could not ' name the rran for Speaker. I was in the lobby the otiier day when GiJdings made one of his ij harangues against slavery. He bad considerable difficulty in obtaining the floor- Again and again be essayed to catch the eye of the clerk, which eye pertinaceously refused to be "caught." Determined not to "give it tip so he planted himself di rectly in frant of the Clerk's desk, ami thus gained bis point, 3nd "pitched in."— He is a man cf targe muscular frame, with a very slight tmdency to corpulency. His face i 3 marked with an ugly seam, and it not at all prcposeasing. His menoer is ex ceedingly ur.plca.-aat. He Las away of lashing himself into w rage by Mrisiog bis legs, which sends his eoat flaps bobbing up and dowix like a shirt on a clothes line in a uijrh wind. Hif ordioary tone of voice r-J --seiobles the grating sound of a sharp set cross cut saw. When aronsed, ho remiuus you of vine of SHIRES' four-horse power threshing machines iu full operation Gid dings is the enabodiemont of Northern abj litionsim, and whenever 3 outhero members wish >o make an emphatic denunciation of the north, tbey sutn it all up in Giddiogs ! I believe him to be an earnest, sincere man, and his bold way of sending homo thrusts at Southern members, and his quickness la repartee, make him a formidable antagonist The extreme hatred in which be is held is the best proof tbat bo is far froa being des pised. Tho speech of Giddings brought out a Virginian, named McMullen, who reminds mo very much of "Sloggins," with the bro keDuosc, black eye and bull dog. ITc lur ously avowed his determination to dissolve the Union if 'he North would repeal the Nebraska-Kansas bill, and to haJd on to tbecaptUi; if the north undertook to take it, it mu"t bo over Lix dead body I He was very loud in bis denunciation of the Republicans. In tho excitement of the moment, ho no doubt imagined himself n Virginia overseer flourishing the lash over a pack of plantation nigi.ers. Yoa have beard of the chap who went about making temperance leotifc-es, audi took ' with him his drunken brother to show the effect of intemperance. Whenever a nor thern member makea a speech on the evils of slavery, Mr. McMuliin, or seme other southern meruber is always ready to affcrl in his own person, ao iliustratioa of the text. Mr. Henry M. Fuller, who hw reemtiy become a convert to the "popular eaweraign ty" doetriae of the democracy, aa inis jnst Vow iii a* tr a ted aad practised with pita and gmn in Kansas, answered tbo question pro pounded to biro the other dwy by bis M>a.beo inetrnotors, witb wonderful aptness. eoo side.'ing his short norMtUte. H ia a bet ter Nebraska democrat now tbas Richard son, aO|i would doubtless rote for that gen tleman for Speaker, did bo not labor anier the melancholy delusion that Richardson and tho (fcar.ocrncy will vote for hm.— When the question of the admission of Utah with her present social system was "spear ed" at hiua, he declined to answer, his tu tors hiving failed to instruct kirn on that point. As the question was being asked, jay attention turned to Mr. Bsrahisci, the delegate from the polygauius kingdom of tbe Latter Day Saints, who was regarding the scene with much interest. He seemed disappointed when no answer was given to the question. Bernbisel is a tall, spare mac, with a few scattered white hairs on his head, aud is apparently about sixty years of age. He dresses in plain black, neatly and genteelly like a Christian. He is a rathc-r dry look ing old institution, yet there is a keenness iu his grey eye, and a sharpness in his elon gated visage which denote something of the energy and ability he is said to possess.— He looks, however, more like a criydy old misogynist >..iau the lustful possessor of uo less than eight wives. When the discus sion of the "putriarchi.il institution" ot Utah comes up for discussion, Bernhisel will, no doubt, bo heard iu regard to its blessings. There was a peculiar twinkle in the eye of the venerable polygamic, when Cox, of Kentucky, the other day referred to Abraham and the patriarchs for authori ty for the peculiar institution of the South, which perhaps meant to say that his own in stitution rested on foundatiins equally strong. Utah has a population five times greater than Kansas and Nebraska together, yet the latter have already taken initiatory step;- for admission to the Union. The inhabi tants of Utah don't seem to be in any hurry; they intend to apply the new doctrine of popular sovereignty in their own way, an stay out. Governor Young is perfectly satisfied with thing:) as they now stand.— 110 is the temporal and spiritual sovereign of an independent kingdom—an imperium in imperio —and has declared his determi- nation to keep bis place, the United States to the contrary notwithstanding. 1? seem* to me that the Kuiigsant Aid Societies, af ter having settled things in Kansas to their complete satisfaction, should turn their pi ous attention to Utah, and ru-h a sufficient majority into that territory to wrest its lo cal affairs from the hands of the Mormons. The oufy difficulty in the way of the plan, and which has perhaps occursel to the Aid Societies, is the danger that the emigrant would, a a fast as sent, beeouie converts to the beautiful faitii and practise of the Mor mons. The election of Banks to the Speaker sbin is only a question of tine—you may rest assured of that, it may not be next week, or the week after, but nobody else will be Spc niter but N.'B. Banks, Jr., of M .Sfuchiwetis. The majority of the oppo sition, catting one hundred and eight votes for him, have no thought of yielding to the miserable s-joad which obstinately prevents an crgaalzsiti' a of the House. Fuller's force is spent, none of the Pennsylvania delegation'voting for him but Broom and Miilward, -whose consistency would be much better disp tayed by voting for Richardson. The democracy have thrown down the gaunt let, and iu their caucus resolution have frankly declared their willingness to go to the country on the principle of the Nebras ka-Kansas bill. Fuller and his friends are more ultra [ro-slavcry. They arc unwil ling to allow the North the poor privilege of making ftn attempt to recover her stolen rights. HSk recreant abandonment of the principles which he was elected, and the motive* which influenced his conduct, have inspired no other feelings here amoug all parties "eut intense disgust. The signifi cant allusion to bis position by Cobb, of Georgia on Friday lass; bis triumph over his (Cobb's) friend, Ilondrick B. Wright, on the Nebraska issue, was far from being pleasant. KlectcJ as an anti-Nebraska man, and his antecedents being favorable, with the exception of his vote for the Fu gitive Slave Bill, his colleagues voted for him as long as there was a reasonable chance of bis aiettioa. But Mr. Fuller was deter mined no'- to abandon his hot quest of the Speakership, and reveng d himself on his colleague* by going ever to the Sooth, and promising not to "agitate!" You use hard words ia Pennsylvania about Best and oth ers who turned up on the wrong side when wanted, but llcnty H- Fuller has improved considerably on alio" them. His true po sition wan kept iu the dark until conceal ment was no loogar possible. A malicious I/ocofoco friend, who writes newspaper let ters, ami makes horr.hly bad puns, insKts that there is a very ilight change in Fuller's position after all; from being unti-Nebras ka, he only turned "Anti-Nebraskal!" Ho acknowledged the atrocity of the pun, and proposed an adjournment to the nearest restaurant.

From the C itamberxburr* Reposotory. Bi:v. Dft. Xc&iSLT, Whose death was announced last week, was licenced to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Carlisle in the fall of 1527. Immediately afterwards, ho was invited to take charge of the church in Bedford, Pa , over which, after ordination, he wa3 instal led, pastor, and continued in that capacity four years, when he was compelled by a bronchial affection to resign his charge and de9i*t from the labors of tho ministry for abcut two years. After regaiuing his health he became pastor of the second Pres byterian church iu Carlisle which he served wiih eminent sac-cess for about five ypars. About this time, vigorous efforts were made to arouse the branch of the Church to which he belonged to the importance of the work of Foreign Missions, and Mr. McKls'.r was urged to embark in this work as an agent: which be did, and served in that capacity three, years, with an efficiency and success the result of which are probably felt to this day in the region in which he labored. In the fall of 1841 he was chosen pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this place and labor ed as such until the close of 18)0. To his faithfulness and zeal in high calling whilst amongst us, all hear testimony,and the bles sing which attended his labors many have cause to remember with gratitude. After laboring for a short time in Pittsburg he was employed by the Board of Domestic Mission of the Presbyterian Church as an agent and itinerant missionary, in which sphere, being suited to his tastes and health, as he supposed; lie labored with much zeal and also with much success until lie was lai! a: ide by the attack of disease which finally terminated fatally, and which Was probably in some mesurc induced by Lisover zeaalous labors. He knew not how to spare himself, and often labored, as his friends believed, beyond his strength. He gave every evidence of a truly good man, according to the high standard of the Christian calling. In all places wherever he was known, among saints and sinners, there lias been but one opinion as to the depth and fervor of bis piety which evinced it-eif in very early youth. He" was kind, affectionate arid attractive in aspect ar.d ad dress. fie had large views of the duties of tho Church, and of society; the first to en. ricavor by missionary operations to spread the gospel over the world, and by family religion to educate devoutly her baptised youth; the second to purify itself by wholc nom mid prudent moral reforms. Every cause which he believed good received from him a cordial support. As such he will be remembered by our citizens generally. But he has res'nd from his labors and his works do follow Lira.' "the jnst K-.'pps something of his glory in his dust." * Ihe Foreign Parry, The Ami-American papers are beginning !o feel very sore at being branded a3 organs of the foreign party. Unon '.his subject the Louisville Journal re marks: They sty that there is an insignificant toreig* vote at the South. They don't like nicknames. They have called the Ameri can party the "mushroom conspiracy" the ,'dark lantern" party, ana have been very profuse in the epithet of 'murderers,' 'thugs,' 'churchburners,' 'midnight conspirators,' and auy thiog else that is rile and criminal towards the individual in ambers of tb t > American party. Theyhavo abused Amer ica and Americans; t&ey have insulted the native born of the country by pronouncing them unfit to govern themselves and landed to the skies the great mass of foreign im migrants, as.the only people in this country fit or capable of exercising the rights of popular sovereignty anu now forsooth they object to being called the organs of the for eign party. There is beyond doubt a foreign party in America. The Qcnnaos and Irish have or ganised political astweiat i:>n aa Germans aDd Irish and not as Americans. They arc opposed to Americanism. They have found that they were able to control, by their mercenary votes, this last President*! elec tion, and they hope by a concentration of their strength aided by the Anti-American native born citizens, to continue to control all our State and national elections. They have determined to do so by force of arms if necessary. Against this combination of foreigners the American party is Contending. The Americans are struggling to retain the birth-right given to tbeui by their fathers; they are endeavoring to preserve the Ameri can instiutions which were founded by tho revolution; they aro seeking to pcrpetwate the American Union and to defend it against foes at ho aw and abroad. The constitute a national, and American party, opposing the insolent agression of foreigners, aud those wno oppose them not only deserve, bat are really aiders and abettors of foreigners, aud can only be known as tho organs of the for tign party.

Ho left them wallow iug deeper in the slough of filthy sensuality, with a certainty of going from bad to worse till their whole fabric of imposture is ex ploded by the miseries it creates and diffuses. He says the women are nearly nil anxious to fly front the horrible den, especially those who have been "sealed" as the "spiritual wives" of the scoundrelly hypocrites who pre. pagate aud uphold this monstrous delnsion Nearly all the leaders have from three womeu each up to Hrigham Young's seventy some of whom make a poor living by wash ing the clothes of the United State soldiers. Hondreds of these deceived, abused women certainly attempt to beg the privilege of coming nwav with the tioops and trains pas sing from time to time through or coming from Salt Lake city, but this cannot be al lowed. Nearly all would get away if they could. Such pictures of distress and des pa r as are presented by many of tLese de ceived and abused women can be found nowhere else than in Utah. Hundreds of of thetu never heard nor dreamed of the "spiritual wife" system until it burst upon their amated vision on their arrival at Salt Lake. And such a mixture of profanity and bl tasphetuy, nonsense, impudent as sumption and buffoonery a? is contained in their sermons and other religious exercises cannot be paralleled in the world.
