DAILY JOURNAL. A. II. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. C IT TQ r E IV AN S VI L L E : lATl'RDAY ?IonM.G, AUGUST 10.

Once more in Ike Field. We haro no objections to publishing the following letter from Major Robinson, or it should not be published. As he wants "justice, " we arc very willing that he shoulJ have the full benefit of assertions over his own name. leaving it to the public, who cer tainly know him, ns to how lar the Major's word may extend in a matter so deeply interesting himself: Evansvili.e, Ind., August 9th, 1S30. Mr. Sanders .SYr: It is du! to my friends and to mj-self that I shouM allude to the publication of certain handbills which were circulated in Posey county on the eve cf the late election, apparently "intended to defeat Judge Lockhart's election. In a late editorial article, in reference to those handbills, you ask the question, whether 1 had not some ugency in that affair. In reply to that question and in answer to the charge to that effect, made by my pe-sonal enemies, I will state in the most positive terms that I had no connection whatever with the writing or publication of those handbills, and that I neither prompted, aided nor assisted therein, In any form whatever. I did not know that any such handbill had been issued or put in circulation, until one was brought from Posey County to this place. I will avail myself of this opportunity to state that I have no connection with the Van dcrburgh Democrat, neither ns owner nor editor. I have not written or dictated a word for publication in that print since the close of the Presidential canvass of 1S43. If you have any proof to substantiate either of the above allegations, you will confer a favor upou me by giving it to the community, in ome tangible form. All I ask is justice. Please publish the above and oblige A. L. ROBINSON. As to the proof of the first, we do not pretend to have any. If Major R. were guiltyt he is entirely too shrewd a man to let proof get out in so important a matter. But men have been hung on slighter circumstantial evidence" than that which has made ninetenths of this community believe he was at the bottom of those handbills. We have made no charge relative to Major R. being connected with those handbills, further than to ask the following question, at the close of an article: Now we soberly ask our fellow-citizens, if such a handbill as this, got up to secure the election of Maj. Robinson over a fellow democrat, and printed at the office which supports him, and to whose columns he has been in the habit of contributing we ask could this handbill have been gotten up and issued without his knowledge? We merely ask the question." , The whole community so far as we could become acquainted with it, answered in the negative. When any man affirms with the solemnity the Major has done to a certain thing, we do not like to argue against his word. We do not now against Am word in this matter. Dut it does seem strange to us, that Huntington should of his own accord, and o assist in the election of a man whose success if the Majors words be true as to having nothing to do with the Democrat would avail him no good, set up and personally distribute handbills,the detection of whioh , would bring serious results. We say this fieema strange, although we have heard that in former times there was a strong connection of interests between the Major and Huntington's family. Ttiese bills were to benefit no cne but Robinson, and were of such a nature that no man would runt)ie risk of their issue, unless it were for himself or for reward. Even if Huntington chose to take it upon himself to do tIl this, he has not the ability to write sucha bill. These and other matters perfectly justified us in asking the ques tion, and the public in believing that Robin-

son was engaged in putting out these bills J Jefferson nnd Hancock streetspn the immeaud the f tct that so larue a portion ot the i diatc vicinity of a pond. Up to last night

public did and do bel.'eve thus, is conclusive cviJencc that from the first they thought him none to i good to be engaged in such an affair. If the Major's next door neighbor were to be robbed, and from the Major's character a lone he should be suspected of the theft, it would be a pretty 6ure sign that if he did not actually c.lmmit that act, he had dene equally had things, and his neighbors regarded him none too good for this robbery. In respect to the Major's denial of having written anything fur the Democrat of late .days, we have but little to say. The man vho is so much a knave as to write for that paper, could not get us or the public to take Iiis word fur anything. If Robinson had so little respect for his own character as to write for the Democrat, we believe he would have just as little scruples in denying over his own name the fact. Now, we have had certain articles in that paper pointed out to us by responsible men, whom we believed at the time knew wü ii they spaLc,n3 productions ef A. LRobinscn; and one article in particular, was thus pointed out. and he generally believed to be the author, containing such language as he, nor any other man making the pretensions of a gentleman, dare utter to our face. For that ciore than for anything the, wt: have pursued hici, and we have followed hira up successfully, and repaid him with interest. A man like Huntington might ay us he has said, much worse things of us, and .!-... I . .. . . wouio noi cievaic mm to inc uignuyoi an enrunr. Dot when a man minfliriT in reactable socielv. and occunvin? amon his1 fclloo-citizens an' influential nostion. choo.es to use such language toward , wc will pursue him to the death, tut t:mi wc have satrefaction of some kind. Thi Is not a very c.hrwtian-hkc feeling, hut it is human nature, at least our nature.

If by any possible chance Maj. R.'s assertion can be true, no one could more regret our course, or labor harder to make amends, than we. But we have charged him,and the Republican has charged him, repeatedly, with writing for the Democrat and the public has taken it as an admitted truth that6uch was the fact. Vet knowing this was injuring him in the estimation of every respectable citizen, he has never before, that we have heard, denied the fact publicly or privately. Whether his contempt of public opinion was so greator the preservation of his character a matter ol such small importance, wc do not know. He

certainly could not have had so great a contempt for the source of these charges as to deem thcra unworthy of notice because the great source was the public itself. The Republican which repeated the charge, is the accredited organ of his own party. The Journal has a character which permits no man to treat as coming from a contemptible source, any charge it makes. That it has some influence, we think Maj. Robinson will scarcely deny after the election, whatever he may have done before. We now say his denial comes too late. If he has not written any thing for the Democrat, in the last six months, then a person employed within said time at that office, has lied abominably. The Major is pretty safe in asking for proof in a matter which can only be directly proven by a man whose oath the public would laugh at, and who would never differ with him. In our opinion, he never would have had the impudence to den v the fact, if he did not well know the difficulty of obtaining proof in a matter of this kind and if he did not also know, that since the recent indignation against the Democrat and its editor, public opinion was settling strongly against him, and promised to seriously injure. He dared not longer keep silence. In every opinion the Democrat and the Major agree they are opposed to the same men the same men oppose them. The Democrat and Major Robinson opposed the nominations of their own party they fought on the same ground and we may say they died on the same ground. We might indeed point out some striking likenesses and coincidences between them, which would make the matter almost indisputable, that he has been in the habit lately as formerly of writing for that paper. But it is idle to say more. Contrary to the Maj Vs word, we believe the fact, and in doing so wc are with the public. Kocnd Dead. The body of William Stinson was found dead last Thursday evening in an orchard near the bridge above the Salt Well bridge, where, it is supposed, he died in a fit of the delirium tremens. Mr. S. was recently in the employment of Messrs. Decker & Kramer, of Lamasco and at the time of his death, it is thought, had a considerable sum of money in his possession, as the day previous he drew about $1G0 from the Bank of this city. When last seen before his death he had a watch also. Neither money nor watch was found on his dead body, nor could anything be learned ol them. They were stolen from him beyond doubt. Served ihm R'cut. Leah, the pretended ,Monk of La Trappe," who created such a great excitement in St. Louis last winter, by his lectures on the corruptions of nuns, monks and the Cathoiic church in general recently attempted to lecture on the same subject in Racine, Wis., but was very properly prevented from doing so by force. This I fellow has already created several serious disturbances ia the West, and, as his lectures are calculated to do no good, he should he silenced. More Cholera. We understand, says the Louisville Courier of the 7th inst., that the cholera broke out night betöre last, on ty of a pond. Up there, had been eiglit deaths, and several persons were then laboring under severe attacks. The authorities should at once remove the nuisance in that neighborhood. All the middle portion of the city, we are glad to be able to say, continue in the enjoyment of good health. New Counterfeits. Goodman's Western Ccunte rfcit Detector for August, reports a new Counterfeit $20 Indiana note, foi which citizens snou!1 be upon the look-out. The paper is ratlur i'.jUt?t and thinner than the genuine, and the lowtr part of the dress of the female figure on the rig'- 18 r-onfl,scJ and mingled wiih the clouding, whii it is dis tinct in the genuine. The tilling und the cashier's signature is the same handwriting Jl3"Ivurtz, of the Princeton Clarion, recently had his unqualified admiration challenged by a machine for renovating rancid butter. If the operation would not he too severe, wc might urge Kurtz to go through the cleansing process himself. The machine having no olfactory nerves, can stand the stench. 3" The emigration into Wisconsin is greater at the present time than ever known before. The Milwaukie Daily Advertiser says that every boat from the upper lakes comes in full, and that ti e railroad care arrive literally loaded dowu with emigrants and traveler. Goo Joke. The Boston Mail, of Sahir i',J 6tates lhat lhc Laturc New 1 1 Hampshire have passed a law, making it a penal offence, punishable by imprisonment, 1 give free passes to editors upon raihwds. The legislators must be jealous of tie .priv ilege.

A Tule or Horror. While travelling a couple weeks since, we heard from the lips of a friend one of the most heart-rending recital i we have listened to for a long lime. He was put oif from a

steamboat at or near Wolf Island, about twenty-five miles below the mouth of the Ohio, for the purpose of collecting a debt from a man living about live miles back in the country, on the Missouri 6ide, we think. With a carpet bag in hi hand, he had followed u narrow path abou; three miles, when he came across a small cabin. Yet "cabin " would not describe the place of habitation, lor such it proved to be. It was a little dilapidated shed with no boards on one tide ami great crevices on the oilier sides and in the roof. He would have passed it by. but moans from the inside told tnat it was occupie-l. Wishing to inquire his read, he slopped, and stood before the open side of the shed, and gazed upon a spectacle, which as he said was present before his eyes days ulterward, and haunted his sleep. Wc describe what he saw. as he told us, only saying that strange as the story may seem, full reliance can be placed upon his words. There was not a bed or chair in the shed, but stretched upon the biri ground lay the body of a youngish looking woman, who had evidently just died. Her form was almost a perfect skeleton, yet the face was that of a refiueJ and beautiful woma.i. On her breast lay an infant of about b'ix months age, with its mouth to the breast cf its mother, and dead. And sitting up in a corner of the sited, and staring the traveler in the face with glazed eyes, was what he thought another corpse, but life was yet in i:. The figure was that cf a girl apparently about ten years old. She could not rise to her feet, and yet she was not sick. She was literally dying of starvation. By the side of the woman, and clasping her hand, lay a man covered with blood and apparently in a dying state. Add to this the filth of the room and the half-naked condition of the sutferers, and we wonder not that the scene long haunted the observer. He went in- The girl could not speak, but the man cried u water" in a feeble voice, and pointed to the girl as if to attract the stranger's attention to her. The traveler, Mr. J., of Cincinnati, hastened away, taking with him a tin pan, and says he never ran harder in his life than he did abtut a half mile to a small stream he had passed. On his return, he found the man still alive, and gave him water, which he eagerly drank. He could then speak in a whisper. He pointed to the girl and said " she's starving. " Mr. J. gave the girl some water, which appeared to revive her, and she tried to talk, but could not. With much difliculty he learned from the man that there was a house about a mile distant, to which he hurried. On his arrival there he found only a negro. While getting some provisions and hastening lack with the man, the latter informed him, that the cholera had broken out in that neighborhood, and the family owning him had Icll for the time being. He said the little girl of the hed hud daily made her appearance there '.or provisions until about three days buck that the man and woman hid been sick for a long time, &c On their return, ihn man was dying, and lived but an hour. The little girl was revived by food, and before they took her away could talk. She s u I she had been sick herself and could not walk to the house lor food, and that her mother died the day previous, and the baby about t!ie same time and that her father had tried to kill himself whe.i they died. It was horrid. The child was taken to the house, and the rest of the unfortunate family buried. Trie child afterwards stated her name was Mary Williams, and Mr. J. thought from what he could r ather. the family had formerly lived in New-Albany, but in what New Albany he rould not ascer tain, more than a the child said, there were a great many houses there, and it was evidently New Albany, N. Y. The negro said the family had been there several weeks, and came directly after his master had left. As there was not a family in the neighborhood, the person having also gone whom Mr. J. wished to see, the girl who wa3 sick and exhausted was left with the negro, who promised faithfully to attend her. Yet there were but little hopes of her recovery. It has never been our misfortune to hear a more horrible talc of reality than thi. Hushed cr. Some time since wc mentioned the fact that the citizens of Shawneetown had subscribed 'he sum of $ 10.000 to be applied towards purchasing a number of steam packets to ply between that city and Lafayette, and that an instalment of 20 pr. Ct. had been paid on that sum. We were informed ypstcrday that a committee of three pei sons had been eppointed to make purchase of su'table bo!Hs ; and to do this they made a trip up the Ohio, but finding no boats suited to the trade lor sail retuiucd'lo SInwneetown without purchasing. So, for the present, this project i quieted. Scitadi.e Punishment. Two sable in dividuals, of Jeffersonvillc, for sonic time past have been consorting with white women in defiance of law and decency. Last Wednes day Ihty were caught, tied to a whippingpost ani ceverely whipped thrashed soundly. Tlte targe erowd present 4eeAned this summary mode of punishment be fruited to the oftence'viunitted. The Louisville Democrat, from wluch we gain these facts, thinks tlie infamou women should be requested to leaoc JefTcwnville. We think they should be driren owlof town under the Jasli.

Oue of the Signs. A friend of our's was once called upon by the sable Knight of the Brusli who blacked his boots, to paint him a 6ign, that the public might read as they ran past Gumbo's cellar, the different accommodations affirded. Said friend, who was very obliging, took a marking pot and in t2ti minutes ground out the following, which was daubed in large letters upon a toard. GuiÄo stuck up the sign with emotions of pride that affected his whole figure, while wc took a copy of the verse which yet blazes over Gumbo's cellar. Here it is: Here pize and kakes and beer I sell And Oystius stude and ia the shell, And fiijhed uns tue fur them as chews And with dispatch, and on de most skicatific principles, blacks butes and thews. There was quite a "muss" at St. Louis last Saturday night, in consequence ol the Bentonttes carrying in their procession a transparency representing Clay prostate, with old Benton's heel on his neck, and other insulting devices. It was stoned and lorn to pieces, and some Iii tie fighting was the consequence. Lou. Courier. Occupying the position Mr. Clay docs at this time, an aged man battling for his coun try and the Union, and assuming no partizan position toward any man or set of men, h who would insult him by such a carrieature as that mentioned above, would publicly in suit hi- own father, nnd should be "stoned" by every decent man. Wc hope these Bentonites got soundly thrashed.

Frightened. The New York Globe vouches lor the fact that several Spanish gentlemen in that city ascribe the death of General Taylor to fright und ngitation at the prospect of a colli.-ion wiih Spain. Gen. Taylor had given Spain's half-brother, Mexico, too many drubbings to mind the frowns ol any of that breed. The Peoria Press says that four prisoner?, in the custody pf an officer, on their way from Chicago 4to Alton, jumped overboard from the sieamcr Movastur, oh her way down, last Monday. Two were ironed together, mid one was hand-cuffed. The three ironed were drowned, the other, it is supposed, made his escape. Ci One and a half millions of dollars, in bill on the State Bank of Alabama, were burnt at Montgomery, Ala., on the 8th inst. It was done in accordance with an act of the last Legislature. JX3"At Berlin, n Jewish merchant has been arrested on a charge of usury, and the money lenders nre in consternation, as this is the first time the offence has been prosecuted as a felony by what is called criminal arrest. We may expect a further immigration. We hear almost everywhere of the abundance of the crop.of ISoO. Many British papers speak very favorably of the crop in England and Ireland. So rich a promise of a full harvest ha? rarely been known. fCr Congress has been in session eight months, and it has passed two bills one to give the franking privilege to Mrs. Polk, nnd the other the same privilege to Mrs. Taylor. fZy Proposals will be received by the city clerk, until the 17th inst., for furnishing 111,000 feet of plank, to be used in planking main street, liefer to the advertisement in to-day's paper Jd" A colony of "Belgians, recently located near the town of Kansas, on the Missouri river, have nearly all died of cholera.

The body of an unknown man, who had been shot nnd robbed, was found in Illinois, opposite St. Louis, last Saturday. Jr3 The track has been 1 ii 1 about five miles out on the Jefftfrsonville Ilailroad So says the Louisville Democrat.

A TALL i on xiix: IESrO.DIG. f CONCLUDED. Happily for Alois he had been rcarpd by christian parents, who had endeavored to imbue his mind with christian principles. They had sought to inculcate love to God and faith in hi promisesand now all their pious teachings ruthed before . the mind's eye of the youth. He could not, despite his most carnest endeavors, conceal lor a moment from his conscience. that he entertained the thought

of a great crime. He thought of asking pardon of hs Creator, and he knelt down by the river side. A few inherent words escaped him, but gradually his ideas became less and less distinct, the round cf the w ater ceased to tinkle in his ear, the little flowers swept past, and the brilliant stars shone down as before, but Alois was asleep. His last waking thought followed him into his sleep, and he dreamed that, in order more easily to precipitate himself into the water, he had gone to one of the bridges which spanned the river ; but at the moment he readied the centre of the bridge, a genie caught him by the hair with oue hand, and with the other carred him back to the paternal dwelling. In that habitation where he had left so much of misery and desolation, abundance and joy now reigaed. All the arrangements for a bridal were apparent; his sister dressed in white, followed to the altar one of his cousins, who had asked her in marriage. It was he (Alois) who gave away his sister, and all the guests, and mother and brothers blessed him. lor it was to him, by his industry and good conduct, that his tister owed a good husband, and his family their happiness. Just then, at the very moment when Alois was happy, and joyful that he had not, as he one day meditated, destrytd himself, he heard the voice of the genie who spoke thus ''See, fool, what thou hast lost in losing that confidence which thou owest to thy Creator. Die. then, coward, who has not been able to bear one of the many sorrows inseparable fini human nature; die. and go to the bottomless pit ; thy crime well merits Saying which the penie relaxed the grasp that held Alois suspended above the waters, into which he was plunged head foremost, and down hi rolled from abyss to abyss to u fathomless depth. The intensity of his dream had now reached u point which caused him to struggle, and he awoke. He opened his eyes and perceived the dawning day ; he beheld the water, the 6ky, the trees, all the landscape filled by the yellow rays of ti e rising sun ; he heard evcryr little songster cl irp forth a note of welcome to the returning day, ami his spirit gave back a responsive echo. He was not dead ; and giving aery of joy, he knelt down and poured forth his yearning spirit in thankfulness to his Maker, and a wail of bitter repentence for his recent sin. Suddenly while his eye roamed from side to side, ns if it could not be satisfied with that beautiful landscape to which he was so recently indifferent, and which teemed with so many bright examples of God's bounty and care, so well fitted to purify man's love and strei'gihcn his faith, lie saw very near him a little calcareous stone, very smooth and white, and upon which was traced the elegant design ofu twig of moss with its pretty little flowers and their roots. He recollected that on the previous evening he had moisened that fctoue with his tears, and had even taken a strange kind ot pleasure in drowning with them that little twig of moss, which some bird had dropped in its flight. The little sprig had now gone, the wind had carried it away, but its imprints so delicate ly encrusted on the white, smooth surface of the stone caused the young German, despite himself, to reflect on the phenomenon. 4,It is not without design," thought he, "that God has conducted me here that he has sent me sleep to calm my sufferings, and a dream lor a warning. I am a bad actor, a bad singer, but who knows, perhops I am reserved for some other thing." - While these thoughts revolved in his mind, Alois continued to examine the calcareous stone, and the minute reproduction of the sprig of moss on which his tears had flowed to freely the preceding evening. At all hazards he determined to carry the stone with him. and tucking it under his arm, he retook his path to the town. On drawing nigh to the gates of the city, among the firs persons he perceived was his little brother, who had been dispatched by the anxious mother in search of him. The child told him that on the day of the interment, an o.d uncle had arrived from the country to see his mother, and on beholding their misery, had left a sum of money to assist them in passing the winter. 'Thank I Sod." ejaculated young Snef Iderjand mapy a time afterwards did the same aspiration arise in his heart m gratitude for the 6tone and the sprig of moss so miraculously placed under his eyes. At first he employed his discovery only by printing the sprig of moss on watch-cases and 6nuff boxc?, til J one day the idea occurred to him ot taking the impressions of such little designs a3 could be obtained by pressing flowers and herbs upon the slcne. The pi ir, succeeded admirably, and tlie art of lithography wa3 discovered. Snefelder patiently plodded on, elaborating his discovery. In his efforts to improve his art, he recalled all the chemical knowledge which he had been taught at school. Many ideas suggested themselves, only to be discarded again, in consequence of 6ome new impediment; but still he ceased not in his experiments, and at last succeeded to his own satisfaction. Even when theart was brought to maturity, there were grievous obstacles to surmount he was doomed to many bitter disappointments and corroding cares. His own work, des ribing the progress of his invention, is at the name time nn interesting und paiul'ul memento of the frequent trials which he experienced. One may be mentioned. At first he was unable to command the small capital necssiry to purchase a press, stones und payer; but loath to relinquish all the bright lu-pes just dawning upon him. many expedients were resorted to. and he at length resolved to enlist in the artillery as a substitute for a friend, by which he would gain a bounty of two hundred florins. This would purchase the materials necessary, and by working hard at all leisure moments, he thought rt would not be long ere he could purchase his discharge from a profession which was distrusting to him. Accordingly, he set oat for Ingolstadt, with a party of recruits, to juinthc rt'gimen where, however. ! his mortification was great, on its being discovereu that he was not a nauve of Bavaria, and consequently by .a recent electoral order, could not serve. But these and weightier difficulties were surmounted. After many disappointments, he acquired sufficiency for all his wants attained the royal notier, aid the approbation nnd gold medal of th- K-yal Acadeinv of

sciences and, wt was ctill more dear to his heart, he lived fysee the widely-spread extension of his artf ite introduction into England, France, Berfcr, St. Fterbnrg,andl tven Philadelphia and Arfteltan. h allwhitb he beheld it flourish. It was always with n h udder ef horror thai Alois Snefelder recalled to memory the evening when he entertained the idea ef throw ing himself into the water. How, ehangeJ would have betfn his lot, if his prayer hud riot arisen to the sky, and God bestowed hht benediction in a iont and and sweet elerp." "What do we knojv?" he would frequently exclaim. "We say we are glad, or wearo grieved ; but as Jesu.v changed the water into wine, so also does God, in his infinite wis dorn, change our pain i.nto pleasures and our

joys into sorrows." The Portlguese Difficulty. Misrepresentations Corrected. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American gives the follow ing statement and explanation of the position of affairs between the tymtcd States and Portu'i A grave misapprehension of our relations with Portugal has been concei ved, in consequence of two vessels of war in th e Tngus andl the comments of "the British 6a tesmen o J the transatlantic press. Alter varous unsatisfactory attempts on the part of ti.t last ar8 preceding administration to effect s ome ad justment of the claims of citizens of the. United States against Portugal." Prfe sident Taylor instructed Mr. Clay, our Charge ii rtii.nr. in kii nm i n mrm:ii nim r:nin ucmand, allowing twenty days for the return of an answer. In consequence of slights which had been previously offered to the diplomatic agent, Commodore Morgan was ordered to repair to Lisbon, with one or more vessels of the Mediteranean squadron, for the purpose of receiving Mr. Clay incaseit became ne cessary for him to withdraw from the mixtion, as well as for the purpose of exhibiting to the Court of Portugal the confidence which his t Jo vernment reposed in him. In the event of a distinct refusal, it was the intention of Gen. Taylor to have laid tne whole.subject before Congress for its decisive action. . The, presence of the two vessels of war had no reference to the controversy, except what I have stated, nnd Commodore Morgan exercised his own discretion in being attended with more than one. The power to graut letters of marque and reprisal resides exclusively in Congress. The New Yobk Tailors. The journeymen tailors of New York, who are on u strike, are still in much excitement. On Monday a Catholic priest had two cart loads of unmade clothes taken to his church, on Third street, for the purpose of distributing the unmade garments among the poor tailors in . his parish who were not with those in the 'strike ;" and some of the journeymen tailors in that vi ciuity hearing of the distribution, (both Protestants bnd Catholics,) made an onslaught upon the church, and put the priest and those assembled to flight. The Mirror adds : A rumor was then got abroad in a few minutes among the Catholics in (hat vicinity that the church had been attacked, whereupon hundreds repaired to the church, and u general disturbance took place, and all par ties, no matter whether insiders or outsiders, participated in a slight castigation. The chief of police was sent f)r, who was soon on the spot, and in a short time quiet was restored. Several arrests were made. ' ' s The 'boss'' tailors had a meeting onTuesday, nt the Sh'ikcscare Hotel, to consider the course bes: for them to pursue in regard to these movements of the journeymen. A deputation of the latter was present. A hearing was had on both sides, und the conclusion arrived at, was such as to justify the belief that a mutual friendly understanding will be restored. The employers say they are willing to give better prices, but not under threats or intimidation. How Printers are Cheated. The New Hampshire State Patriot says that it has 4S0O subscribers, and thinks it has the best paying Iis ofany political paper in the country, yet 700 owe for three years, 400 for five years, and 1000 for one year, making the aggregate due the office $10,000. for their paper time and Lbor. This is the fashion with which printers are cheated. Tl e Natiopi Intelligencer is said to have over 400,000 due that concern from its subscribers. It shows how many fortunes arc fleeced out of the profession. This proves how necessary it is, that every person knowing himself to 1 indebted to the publishers of a paper, should remit the sum, no matter how small it is. Tho aggregato of these small sums is all important to the printer. A Sad Scene. The following dispatch from Washington, Ave find in the Charleston Evening News: At the President' house, gentlemen had their pockets picked of four thousand dollars. The doors of the East Boom were locked for the purpose of searching ull present. Thepeo le were indignant, und broke upon thodoors. There was great excitement. The corpse of Gen. Taylor was in the satn room. ICD, Of Consumption, at the residence of his father, in De Kalb county, Tcnn., ex the 10th July, John Hanby Cutler, aged t years and 4 mouths eldest son of Waldo and Mary V. Cutler. The moral worth of lU young man forJids that the melancholy occurrence of his decease should pass without abritt notice; aside from the tears of his relatives, his acquaintances feel that they hare lost a worthy friend and his associates that they are bereft of one of their most choice companions. At a very early age he became an Ade&t lover of the Sabbath School,' where he no doubt formed the basis of an exemplary moral -diaracter.and as he ripened into matury, by a system of industry and perseverance acquired a very good English ed '.cation with bat slight advantages of schooling.
