Up to the t';ne of our going to press, the two little sons of Mr. Samuel Cox, of Union Township, who were lost in the Allegheny Mountain, on jesterday two weeks ago, Imve not yet been found. There were hun dred# from Bedford, Cnn.brta, Blair and Somerset Counties, ail last and this week, engaged in the search. On Sundav las', it is estimated that there were at least two thousand persons on the search. There were about eighty out from this Borough at one time alone. The greatest feeling is manifested in that section, ar.d, in fact, in every part of this county and the farmers are neglacting all their spring work to en gage in the hunt. The determination of all appears to be, to fiud the poor little un fortunate ones, dead or alive. We sincere ly condole with the-afflicted parents in this heartrending affair—more sorrowful to them, than death to their little ones, tinder ordi nary circumstances, would be. We would still advise the search to be continued, so long as tbeic is the least prospect of find ing them. A HARD CASE.—The Petersburg Ga rotte, alluding to the difficulty experienced by the Locofocos in finding grounds for op posing Mr. Fillmore, remarks: The truth is, Mr. Fillmore, we must con fess, is rather a bard case. Almost auy other man has some vulnerable point, per sonally or politically, which might be suc cessfully assailed. But his exalted private character, bis unyielding integrity, and bis consistent, patriotic, and national course, while President of the United States, are familiar to the country, and tbe scurrilous and abusive mode of warfare usually resort ed to by aoti-A'oericanism will prove una vailing. The disingenuous charge of Abo litionism won't do this time. It is a leetle too stale to bo relished even by the unsus pecting and credulous portion of the party. The people at iarge will treat so unjust and groundless an imputation with the scorn and contempt it deserves. The Locus also preumd to believe that Mr. Fijlmore will not scoept the nomina tion. Lot tbem not 4 'ay that flattering unc tion to their souls,'teas certain as the sun will ri*e to-morrow, .Millard Fillmore will be the standard bearer ot the American J\irM in the conjjng toufetL AMERICAN MEETING Pursuant to notice a very large and re spectable meeting of the American party of Bedford County, convened ia the Conn House, on Tuesday evening last. The meeting was organized by the appointment of JOSEPH DULL, E-q., of Juniata Township, as President, and DAVID MIL LEK. Esq., of Harrison Tp., MOSES WISK GAKYEK, Esq.,of Bedford Tp., ROBERT GIESOX, Esq., of Bedford Borough, JOHN MCILVAINE, of East Providence Tp., anu THOJIAS BLACKBURN of St. Clair Tp., were chosen Vice Presidents, and (J'o. H. HousrhotJer, Esq., of East Providence, und WM. Overocktr, of Coleraiu, Secreta ries. The object of the meeting being stated, a . committee was appointed to draft resolu tions, expressive of the seU3c of the meet ing, and also to appoint Congressional and Legislative conferees, and a County Com mittee for the ensuing year. The meeting was addressed by Hon. Fa. JORDAN, in his usual forcible and eloquent manner. He reviewed the principles of the two parties, in a national point of view, and showed conclusively that it is the duty of all patri ots to unite in advancing our patriotic cause. He also touched largely on State politics, and showed very clearly that the last Le gislature was prodigal and extravagant in its expenditure of the treasure of the peo ple. He was frequently and enthusiastical ly cheered throughout his entire speech, which occupied about an hour arid a half in its delivery. The meeting was very large and the Court House crowded notwithstand ing it rained very hard all tiie time. All admit that it was a great dai larger than the Loco foe o meeting of the night before. The following is the Report of the Com mittee: Resolved, That iu Mass Meeting assem bled, we hereby cordially eudorse and rati fy the American nominations for President and A ice President of these United States, i hat in Millard Fillmore we recognize the sound, patriotic and enlightened statesman, whose private character, and long record of public services, rendered to Lis native State and the Union, are without a blot; and in whom the people of the United States have the highest evidence of fitness for the Pres idency in thi: that he has been well tried and never found wanting. That in An drew J. Douelson we have a candidate for ice President whose early training, un questioned integrity, arid past public servi ces, furnish ample assurance that he is wor thy of the place for which his friends have nut biro in nomination. Resolved, That we do not feel called up on at this time u> reiterate our fidelity to the great and oft repeated principles of the American party: or to declare in detail the reasons for our utter hostility to the present national administjutiua, which iu its zeal to secure foreign influence and foreign votes has recklessly traanpled upon the rights of native horn citizens, and which has foigot ten alike the precepts of our fathers, and the interests of our common countrv by its mud endeavors to iorce slavery into the free territories of the Union by the most flagrant violations of good faith, by fraud and by force. Resolved, That we take pleasure in en dorsing the official conduct of his excellen cy J a rues Pollock, Governor of this Com monwealth, and of his official associates in the administration of State affairs: That their purity of purpose, integrity of action, economy of the public funds, arid uniform regard for the honor and interest of the Keystone State, justly entitle them to the regard and confidence of every good citi zen. Rcsolvd, That we regard the sale of the public works of the State, and '"specially of what is called the Main Lino of the State improvements, as imperatively demanded by the highest considerations of public oioral iiy and pecuniary advantage; and that our political adversaries in holding on to this nevct ceasing source of public indebted ness, and partizan favoritism and profligacy have so disregarded public sentiment, and tiie host interests of the State as t falsify all their professions of economy and re form, and to justly expose them to the uni ted opposition of all patriotic citizens.— I bat on these public works swarms of of fice holders arc annually pensioned on the public treasury to eat out the substance of our taxpayers; large fortunes continue to be amassed in a tow years by unscrupulous em ployees: and so far from there being any prospect ot redress, the last Legislature voted down all offers for the lease or sale of these public works, increased the number of officers thereupon, rai.seJ the salaries thereof, created a new office at a salary of three thousand dollars per annum, thus ag gravating all the evils heretofore existing. Resolved, That David Over, Win. Kite la - ey and John Mclivaiue be, and they ore hereby appointed Congressional Conferees, to meet like conferees from the other coun ties in this Congressional district, at such time and place as may be agreed upon, to put in nomination a suitable caudidate for Cougress. Resolved, That Gen. W. Williams, Geo. I>. Shuck and Daniel Washabaugh be, and they are hereby appointed Kopresentative CotrfeKes to meet like conferees from the counties of Cambria and Fulton, to put iu nomination suitable candidates for the Le gislature;. aud that said conferees, together with the Congressional Conferees above named, have authority to appoint substi tutes, iu ease of their sickness or inability to uttend. lit solved, 1 hat Francis Jordan, Ilenry Xicodeuius, Peter II Sbires, B F. Harry and John Taylor, be, and they are hereby appointed a County Committee, with the usual powers iu like cases. W ISCONSW-—Tbo telegraph report that we published some three or four weeks ago to the effect that the American State Coun cil Oi A\ isconsin had repudiated the nomi nation of Fillmore and Doaelson is contra dicted, the report now being that Wiscon sin has ratified the nominations of the American party, and that she will give them a hearty support in November. So mote it be. Foreign Voles. It is a startling fact that of the 1,767 administration votes given in Hartford, Connecticut, at the late State election, 1,100 of them were those of foreigners, chiefly Irishmen; and of the "A,300 votes of the same character given iu New Haven, more than 1,500 were Irishmen Ger mans, <S:c! The \\ ashington correspondent of the ilarrisburg Telegraph noticing this fact, very appropriately remarks that— "Well might Mr. WALKER exclaim, n s he did most eloquently, in the House a few Jay s ago. Sir, we need the inculcation of a stronger nationalism —a more jealous watchfulness of our institutions and privileges: a strong nationality is natural, its cultivation poli tic. Under the Roman republic tins na tional sentiment, this jealousy of nationali ty bespoke itself in the various laws guar ding Roman privileges from the intrusive grasp of foreigners and aliens. No alien, no stranger to the soil could bold one rood ot that Roman mother earth. No stranger enjoyed even the most partial privilege, ex cept through the solemn adoption of the au gust Senate. Rome was invincible in arms public virtue, wisdom and policy, and pro duced individual character which Christian ity lias scarce surpassed until she spread herself out over Europe, Asia Africa and the "islands of the sea," corrupting, dilu ting, and finally destroying her nationality, and the boasted title of "citizen of Home" became a sneer auil a reproach. lit Greece, nativity to the sou! was in it self a patent of nobility. To the mothers and daughters of Greece alone belonged the golden grasshopper, the significant sym bol of autochthonous descent. And in the sub'imc theocracy, divine iu its grandeur of conception, its wisdom and operation, how intense is the nationalism! Nationali ty, the strongest instincts of human heart, was seized open and used a- the means of publishing to the nations the great veriety • f the universe, the power and unity of God. "The wide-world over" he also said "whatever is cheap is little valued—that which is easily won rarely commands the strife of a tiohlc soul." This is true to the letter, and it is one reason why we value our birthright so little that we are willing to share it in common with, or confer it upon all the felons and paupers not of Europe alone, but ofjthe whole world. Mob ami I'iot in Elk! On Saturday last our citizens were shock ed by the intelligence, that a mob had ct l lectel in Erie on the previous night and destroyed the Constitution Printing (hT.ro, and committed other disgraceful outrages. It seems, from what we can learn, that a son of John il. \\ alker, Esq., met a bro ker named Cochran, (who had committed an aggravated assault auJ battery on his fath er, Mr. W., about a year ago, tor which lie was fined thirty dollars!) in or near the Constitution office last Friday, when thev got into a fight. It is said Cochran got the worst of it. In the evening the old Court House bell was rung, a large crowd soon gathered, and Cochran addressed the iriob in an excited manner, when thev proceeded to the Constitution Printing Office, broke down the doors, carried out the presses, types paper, in short all the contents of the buildings, including a Law Library belong ing. to Mr. Johnson, the editor, and piled them in front of the building and applied a a torch to them!— All Mr. J'*, valuable papers— private and professional—were des troyed. Not satisfied with this, the mob literally cut down the buildiug itself, a two storied frame, belonging to Mr. Johnson, leaving it a complete mass of ruins. After this '•glorious victory," the mob proceeded to the editor's bouse, and not withstanding his wife had onlv been con fined a frw days before, stones were dashed in at the windows and the inmates terribly frightened by the yells of the crowd out side. Tho houses of Mr. Tracy, a promi nent railroad man, and of John H. Walker, Esq., were next attacked, the shutters bro ken in and the glass shattered by balls fired into the rooms! Tho inmates escaped with their lives by a miracle. Duriug all these outrages, the Mavur, the Sheriff, and the Police were not to be found—not an effort was made by them to stay the wild ftry of the mob. These shocking acts will create a thrill of indig notion over the whole country. Whatever sympathy may have existed for the alleged wrongs of the Ericatis, such wanton outra ges will scatter it to the winds.— Craufotd Democrat. MEXICO. —The Steamship Texas arrived | at New Orleans lias brought Vera Cruz ! dates to the 22d ult. The whole country was in the unusual state of entire quietude. The Bishop of Poebla had refused to oom-. ply with the decree sequestrating the church property. The reason which he. alleges in justification of this course is tbat the canons of the ehureh arc opposod to the exocutiou of any such measure, and clearly intimates that excommunication and the thunders of the Vatican may be the consequence if the policy is pursued.

The Government, however, was firm in its determination to carry the decree into effect, and it was believed would be supported by the great body of the people. The fugitive partisans of Maro in the States of Mexico and Michoacau. had offered to place themselves at the disposal of the Gov ernment, if clemency would be extended to them. The rebellion had been entirely mas. tered in tlmse States. This-papers say no thing of the conditions of their submission. A doubtful rumor prevailed that very seri ous difficulties had arisen between the Mex-1 Kan Government and nearly the whole of j the diplomatic corps. OUR POSITION. —Having received assu rances from a source entitled to confidence, that Mr. Fillmore will accept the nomina tion which has beet, tendered-him, on terms entirely safe and satisfactory to the South) and just to every portion of the Union, we tills morning run up to our masthead his mime and that of Mr. Douclsun ,tbe latter having already signified his acceptance.— V e take this step upou our own responsi bility, and without a suggestion from any quarter, our information being such as to leave us no longer in doubt as to the course which Mr. Fillmore will pursue. We are satisfied moreover that the ticket presented is acceptaole, not only to the American par ty, hut to conservative men, irrespective of paity, whether at the -South or the North. We shall give hereafter the reasons which have influenced us to this step. For the present we would say wo do not support Mr. Fillmore merely as the nominee of an American Convention, nor yet as an oid Whig of the Clay and Webster school but upon the broad and all .sufficient ground of his tried and true ability, his un. flinching honesty of purpose, and his devo tion to the Constitution and the Union, as shown and illustrated by his past model ad- i ministration.— Saointia'i Republican. Latest from Mexico. From our New Orleans exchanges, up to the evening of the loth, we obtain further information concerning the state of affairs in Mexico. The close of the Revolution The news from Mexico informs us of the close of the late revolution in that country. President Oomonfort ha* been triumphant at Puebla, where the rebel army had sur rendered at discretion, and where the rebel generals, chiefs and officers Lave been re duced to the ranks as private soldiers.— Whether this decree will be practically car. ried out inay be doubted: but from the pub lic h mors showered uu the President on his return to the capital, on the' 2 I inst, it is evident that the blow struck at the privi- leges of the military, has been received with universal favor. We may expect a largo number of those tebel officers soon to visit our city, as it is said some fifty of them have been exiled. But the most important decree is that of the 31st of March, dated at Peeblu, in which the clergy are acused of having ta ken part in the revolution and the ecclesias tical property of that Diocese, amounting to thirty or forty millions of dollars, is seized to pay the expenses and damages of the war and to pension the widows, orphans and wounded. This is the first blow struck di rectly at the ebureh property, and as such is one of the most important acts ever recor ded in the history of Mexico. The different .States of that Republic seems to be quiet at present. How long this repose may continue is uncertain. From the Atuer. Banner and Defender. "Americans are Cowards and sons of Cowards." Some weeks ago, wo called for the data in connection with this expression, used by the Boston Pilot towards the American people. Our Boston "SUIFI.ER" furnish ed us the evidence shortly after but we now notice that Br. Far well, of the Boston Pa triot, gives the extract, verbatim. Here it is. If the party of burglar.? so rampant in the city of Penn/and in the city of Kip Van Winkle, possessed as much brains collect ively as a Choctaw Senate, when by their council fire, they could hear that their very existence as a nation depends on the Irish population of this country. * * * * It ill becomes any Amer cau to launt Irishmen on the score of bravery.

CAMPHOR AND YTRYEH.VINE._The ben. cficial effects of camphor, aa au antidote to strychnine, aro illustrated in a case repor ted by Dr. Tewkesbury, of Portland, Maine, It appears that a boy was seized with oou vulsious, and it was ascertained that he had just eaten a biscuit, picked up at the door oi an eating house, that was made for the purpose of killing rats, and contained about one and a half grains of strychnine. The boy's spasms were so severe that imme diate death was inevitable, though all the usual remedies were resorted to. Camphor could Dot he introduced into the stomach on account of the continued lockjaw. Accor dingly strong injections of camphor were used, and the body immersed in a IK t cam phor bath, and in a few hours the boy ws cauiparatively well. Tun AMERICAN CANDIDATE.— After viewing the many persons talked of for Presidential candidates, the Palmer (Mass.) Journal doses as follows: "In looking over the list of proposed candidates, we see none that we should prefer to the nominee of the American par ty —Millard Fillmore. For soundness of principles, correctness of example, UDJ pu rity of political character, none can be poin ted out who will excel hiui. Should he ac cept the nomination tendered him, declar ing himself in favor of true Americanism, it will not be inconsistent, with the prin ciples we profess, to give him oirr sup port."

The steamer Orizaba has arrived at New A ork with San Juan dates to the '1 lst- The defeat of Col. Schlessinger at at Rosa is confirmed. About 70 of his men are reported missing. During his trial be fore the court martial and while <m parol he deserted, and it is supposed went over to the Costa Rican*, having sold himself to them before the battle ! On the tth inst. the Costa llicans took possession of Ilivas with a fi>rce of '2,000 men ami on the 11th Gen. Walter attacked theui. After a light of seventeen honrs he was obliged to abandon the city for want of ammunition. The loss of the Costa Iticans is said to be six hundred killed and a large number wounded. Walker's loss is set down at between fifty and sixty killed and about 80 wounded and missing. Among the killed is Col. Marehado, the commander of the native forces. The El Niearaguense, Walker's organ, claims this affair as a glorious victorv. It was said that the Costa llicans had taken possession of Virgin 13ay and fired indiscriminately on every person they saw there, killing eight or ten Americans in the employ of the Transit Company. On the 10th iust. Lieut. Green, with fif_ teen men, had. an encounter with about '2OO Costa llicans, killing '27 and dispersing the res*, whilst the American loss was only one killed and two wounded. It was reported that Walker intended to atuck the Custa Ricnns at \ irgin Bur about the 2dth, having I,OUO Americans and 1,- 300 natives under his command. With the except ion of a few prominent men in the former legitimate party, the Nicaraguans acted with Walker. The States of Honduras, S-,n Salvador and Guatemala are said to be ia favor of peace and will not invade Nicaragua. They received the commissions from Nicaragua in frier.dly spirit and had discontinued the enlistment of troops aud disbaaded some of their new levies. An intercepted correspondence between the British government aud Costa Rica, in which the former agreed to contribute two thousand stand of arms to 'he latter, caus ed much excitement among the Americans composing Walker's rrmy. A number of Minnie liflea were captured from the Costa llieans at Kivas, and several Englishmen and Freuchuian were observed in the a rim . Jhe letter making this effer of aims or muskets is from the foreign office of Great Britain to E. Wailerstein, the Consul Gen eral of Costa Rica. There are several other letters, oue of which was froui Mr. Mutiny, the Costa llican Minister at Wash. iugton, informing his government of recent letters received from the governments of Great Britain and Franco, in which great sympathy is felt for the General American States in general. Another informs Cne government of Costa Rica that an English fleet will he immediately sent to Pacific coast of Costa, Rica. The british frigate E'irydice was the only lesselat San Juan x Her boats were con stantly on duty watching the movements of the Americas. The American passengers who came down the river were prohibited by from going on shore. An official bulletin, issued by Gen. Mora, declared that all filibusters taken with arms in their hands would be put to death ; but that all who had not used arms against Costa Rica, and gave themselves np to the officers of the Costa Rican army, would be pardon ed. Appended to this paper was a list of seventeen of Col. Schlessinger's party who were taken and shot. They were mostly Irishmen and Germans, only two were A. tnericans. Affidavits in respect to the indiscriminate slaughter of American citizens at Virgin Bay and the destruction of tho property of the Transit Company by the Coata Ilioans having been made, Mr. Wheeler addressed a strong protest to Gen. Mora, not only agaiuat auch conduot, hut againat such ocuv duct, but agaiuat the threat to drive Ameri cans from Costa Rica and Nioaragua ; and unless explained and aioned for decided measures on the part of the U. S. govern ment were threatened by Mr. Wheeler. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The battle is represented to have severe and desperate.

On the 13th ins!, a courier reached Granada from Rivas, who stated that the enemy had thrown mauv of the dead bodies into weil, but were not able to dispose of one third killed in the battle, and that the atmosphere had become so infected from their decomposition that the cholera broke out on the loth in its most volent character.
