A telegraphic despatch to the Sew York Herald, from Washington, says this officer has put in his bid for the presidency, having written a letter to a member of Congress from Alabama, Mr. Bowden, defininghU position on all the questions of public inte rest. He professes himself a thorough democut. The le'.ter is said to have been dictated by the commissioners of Mexico, Messrs. Clifford and Sovier, and was published in the Union of the 15th, just in time for the Baltimore Convention. The Washington correspondent of the North American says the secret of General Worth's erratic conduct, of his ingratitude to

now grown in the United States, and are of opinion that "he great neia ior American en temrise and skill, iti our intercourse with Chi na, lies in the adaptation of our cotton fab-rit-a to the wants and tastes of the Chi nese. , There can be no doubt that under the. auspices of our government, and in obedience to the manifest tendency of things, the day ii not very distant when thegeims of a magnificent empire will develope themselves rapidly, vigorously, on the shores of the Pacific. ThtraJe between that sectiou of our ronfederan and Asia and the immns and numerous islands now rising iuto consequence in the Pacific, will of necessity, be of vast importance British skill and enterprise are taxed to their utmost in their efforts to take advantage of the markets already formed and iu progress in that quarter ol the globe. But tinv and distance are elements of the greatest importance in all commercial pursuits. The j:r -ater proximity of our territories on the Pacific to Asia will give to them an advantage which no possible competition from Europe can take from them, By laying the foundali n of future trade at the present turn, our govern ment, while it will do much toward securing itsdestined monopoly of that trade, will also further its policy of building up a most formidable commercial and agricultural community in its Oregon and California possessions. CO""The person who was recently arrested in Texas on suspicion ol having robbed the Chester County, Pa., Bank, proves to have been innocent of that crime. It appears, however, that his name is Hitchcock, a drover, who had mysteriously disappeared from Philadelphia last fall, immediately after having sold a drove of cattle for which he obtained pay in Chester county Bank notes. The belief was general that he had been robbed and murdered, but it nor turns out that he had secretly gone to Texas, where he assumed the name of Harrison, and turned mule, trader. On his arrest, finding himself roughly handled, and about to be transported to the North, he made an honest confession of how he came by the Chester county notes. He stated that Harrison was an assumed name, '.hat his reel name was J. W. Hitchcock that on or about the 26th of August, 1S47, he obtaiiifd the money froinG. W. Lefevre of Chester county that he got thu money in Chtbter county nofrs, and that he was guiltyof misconduct, which he did not like to ackuowledge. but for which he secretly fled. Distbess in Ireland Eating of Human Flesh. The following i an extract of the speech delivered by Mr. Reynolds in the British House of Commons, April 11, during the discussion on the bill to punish seditious speaking w ith transportation for seveu years or for life. All the towns of large population in Ireland were quiet and obedient to the law, and yet honorable members who know no more of that country than of New Zealand, said they would vote for this bill becaue Ireland was disturbed. He denied the allegation as a libel upon his country. Le honorable members consider the distress that existed. Let him remind them 1! . k ' 17s -fl11 norriDI( that, in Ireland 1,000,000 of human beings had nto thrir graves from starvation wuhm months. Let them remember the horrible case that within a fortnight has been brought before the Galway Assizes, in which a man had been convicted of sheep stealing, and Mr. Dobbin a stipendiary magistrate, had aplied in favor of the prisoner, on account of the extenuating circumstances in his case. One of his children had died of starvation, and the wife of the man had fed upon the flesh of that child before he violated the law to pro cure food. Mr. Dobbin had caused the bodv to be disinterred, and the limbs were found picked to the bone. In that case the judg ami the jury shed tears, and the man was discharged. That case was an illustration of the wide ly spread and terrible distress under which his countryman were suffering. Admiration Abroad of America. An Af fecting Scene At Venice 011 occasion of conse crating the tri-colored banner by the Patriarch of that city, in front of St. Mark's, the Ameri can Consul is said to have been the only foreign diplomat invited to be present, and in the course of the ceremonies, the commander of the troops on parade, exclaimed: "Attention Honor to the Flag of the United Statesof Amer icai on wnicn tue dense mass Durst lortn iu shouts of applause, with cries of "Long live at. a 1 our sister republic!'' The people of all classes and conditions, soldiers and civilians; threw themselves into the arms of the Consul, em braced him, and kissing the 'Star spangled banner, pressed it to their hearts; while many, with moistened eyes, rrathing their hands through the de nse crowds merely to touch it, could just but articulate " Vica il console! tira gli Stati Uniti! viva la gran rrpubliev!" Aud in the evening at the the theatre, there was a repetitiou of the enthusiasm, on the Consul's entering his box with his wife. AWFCL ASO 1JLOODT 1RAGEDT. A WHOLE Family Butchered. The Bath (Me.) Times of Saturday week, gives the particulars of a most unnatural and shocking affair which oc curred on Thursday night last, in the town of Edgecomb Maine: A man named Pinkham, about 45 years of age, by occupation a feliip carpenter, with a sharp axe completely decapitated his wife and four chilnren, the oldest child about twelve years of age, leaving the heads hanging to the bodies only by a small portion of the neck, and then cut his own throat most effectually with a razor. The father and two sons were iu a bed iu one room, and the mother and two daughters in the same situation in another room, The awful deed was not discovered uuttl some time on Friday, when the mother of the man, having occasion to visit the house, found the inmates in the horrible situation de scribed, not a soul being left to tell the tale of blood.

are the fruit of religiou error. The Times It appears thatMr.aö! Mrs. Pinkham had been the victims of the Miller delusion; but the full force of its crtiihing influence upon their rpirits seems not to have been suspected by ot'iers. The paper to which we have referred, rn exact copy of which was seen by our informant, contained a statement in th handwriting of Mrs. P., followed by another by her husband, setting forth tfcat they had become tired of life that there was nothing in prospect for them worth living for, and that they had mutually agreed upon the destruction of themselves and children; requesting that their lwi'a miohthi dpnnsited in a Stone tODlb.W a 111 i. a mr w h . a-' m The wife when found was in bed, partially undressed, the eves as open as though awake at ' - . .. .. n-i .L!U the moment ot decapitation, me cnuareu were also in bed.Drobablv sleeping unconsci ous of any danger. Democratic Convention. We find the following brief notice of the first days proceedings of the Democratic Convention, which met at Baltimore on Monday, under the telegraphic head of t'.e Louisville Journal of Tuesday. The Democratic State Convention met at noon to-day, at the Universalist Church. The room was crowded. Jude Bride, of Louisa na was called to the chair, and Samuel Treate, of Missouri, was appointed Secretary. A prayer was delivered by the Rer. Theoppilus Fisk. W. N. Wheeler, of North Carolina, offered a resolution to appoint a committee to investigate the credentials of the delegates. Mr. Cole of Georgia, offered as a substitute that one be selected from each State, New York, and the delegates of that State to decide who of their number should be placed on the committee.Mr. Hannegan moved to lay the resolution on the table; this motion wa subsequently with drawn, and he offered an amendmentthat each delegate pledge himself to support the nominee of the Convention. Mr. Cole objected to this practice. Cheering-l He thought they should vote on preliminary questions. Mr. Hannegan then withdrew his substitute. The Convention finally appointed one dele gate from each State, excluding New York; to ascertain the validit of credentials. BREMEN MAILS. Notice to the Public and instruction to Postmasters.

A Valuable Article Al. Wn. ßlake of Akron, Ohio, called onuja few day ago :.nd exhibited n ariirle that must, we think, become of great value. It wa- dscovend so ne tim since, iu the township of Simon, O do, and is taken from an excavation in the irk ahoui twenly feet deep, and gp eading orr some six or eight acres. The substamfl im l)lck, resembling indigo, and about lhe n.nsisiency of cold tallow when taken from he mine, bin an exposure for a few days to t'ie atmosphere turns it to a hard slale or s mir. Ii has been found upon analyzing to contain about one half silicia, one fir rh: alumina, and one eighth pyrites of iron with leaser proportions of nngnejia, lime and carbon. From the extraordinary character of he anicle it is Hippospd by geologist who h e visited lhe mine lhat ihere must be son.e figure or crevice in lhe bottom of the ditch through which the Article in a liquid stale, was ejected from l-elow. When ihe substanc e is taken out, dried, .round lo a fin4 powder, mixed with linseed oil, mid applied with a brush lo either Wood, in, iron, cloth, paper, or bricks and then exposed a few months lo lhe atmosphere, in berumes a perfect slate, impervious to lhe action of the weather or ti lire; the weather serving only lo turn it to stone, and rendering ii hauler the longer ii is exposed, while fire will char the substance lo which it is applied before I lie slate will give away. We were shown specimens on cloth and wood that wero as fine specimens of school übte as we have ever seen, and would show pencil maiks equally as pUin. Il is also suscrptible of :he highest polish, zs me saw a piece upon w--od that w;is polished and had ihe appearance of ihe fint-st Egyptian Marhie. The article is of much value in coverng roofo, steam b'uts, J-im', fences, buildings and eveiy thing els-e, requiring protection from fire or ihe weather, or for fire fronts carriages, or or cenire or pier tables, as it is in fact slate in a liquid state when applied and in a few rnonilid acquires the solidity of ilie iuesl slate. We learn from Mr. BUke, who has seenel a pi tent for his discovery, l h I it is sold at hi pUre at $:i per 100 lb . which will cover ihe roof ol a building 3.) feel sqtiato or nine hnndied supoifiei tl feet.
