Drowned. A young man by the name
of John Clause, a resident of Mr. Vernon,
fell over board from the steamer Fawn on . Monday morning last, whilst on her passage
to this place, and was drowned. Every exertion was made by the officers of the boat
' to save him, but unfortunately without sue
cess. Mr. Clause was on his way to this
place for the purpose of purchasing goods.;
OCT A Bill reducing the rate of postage to Scents for any distance under 100 miles
and 10 cents for all greater distances, has
passed the Senate of the United States.
is thought that it will also pass the House.
CO" There has been nothing done in the
House of Representatives concerning our canal for the last fire weeks. Mr. Owen is
busy with the Texas and Oregon questions
which he deems of mare importance than
the interests of. his constituents. Whether ... they will think so will be seen hereafter. Mr. Owen, in a letter to us, which we pub
lished a month or more ago, informed us tha
the Bill had passed the Senate by a large
vote had received a favorable report from the committee in the" House passed two readings in, that body, aud had been referred
lo tha committee of the whole, and that all
that was necessary to secure its filial passage was "a simple motion to lake it up." That "simple motion," we fear, is not likely to be maJc this session. . .
07" A Pooh Argument. The Statesman
seems to justify McNultyVlate peculation!
on the ground that some, Whig cashier has
been guilty of a like crime, and abuses the
Whig press for mentioning the matter of
Mac's theft. True, it is a small affair when
compared with Swartwout's, Boyd's, Harris',
&c. &c. &c but nevertheless weareclear-
y of the opinion the public have a right to
know how their funds are appropriated. We believe in this matter the democracy are re
sponsible and will so be held. They knew
his character, it was notorious, and that no
toriety gave him credit for no one good mo
ral qualiiy. He was a debauchee reckless
profane, and all his habits and known pro
pensities, lewd and lawless. This was his well known character in Ohio. "But he had
rendered some services to the party"
says a contemporary, "services which
required a peculiarity of character like L 1 .1 nr "
rus 10 periorm, ana tne otnee in
question was given to him as a reward for
the performance of them. They wished to
acknowledge the obligation he bad laid them, under, and they did so by giving him a high,
honorable and responsible office, which the
weight of bis character or fitness could have
laid no claim to. It was given to him, too,
with a full knowledge of the nature .and
complexion of his character- if not to all
the members of his party, at least to many
of them. We, therefore, contend that the
party making the appointment, tinder the
circumstances, are to be held doubly res
ponsible lo the people, and are. chargeable with corruption at least, and a total disregard of the interest and honor of the, country, in
thus conferring it." .
-The Statesman takes pride io itself for
the prompt action of the House in expelling McNulty. Yes, when his defalcation could
no longer be concealed, the virtuous indignation of his friends could scarcely be - restrained. Each oue tried to be foremost to
have him impaled,' JohnQuincy Adams had
to step in, if but for the honor of the House? and preserve its diguiiy, in having justice le
gally administered. "
High -ixyeto. -The top-loftical editor of I
the Courier warns us again this week, in a very serious and confident tone, to beware how we trifle with him. He gives us to understand that he is not to be fooled with, and if we dont behave particularly circumspect and civil towards him, he'll do something cruel to us. We really hope he wont
that he'll keep his temper but if he will
fight, let him hammer away. As St. . Piere
says, "we never received a blow from mor

ly wanted an excuse to scribble away at
something or somebody and the trifling al
lusion to him in our piper a lew weeks ago,
made in the way of pleasantry, by our cor
respondent, was the best that offered.' We as
sure him we could have left his name out of the article just as easy as not, and vhhoui. spoiling
it either. '' ;
Further The person whose name stands
at the head of this paper is the editor, and
at present there 13 none other. - We dont
care a straw, so far as it affects our feelings, whether the editor of the Courier gives us
credit for a single line in our Journal or not; if he refuses lo do so, we shan't make half as
much fuss about it as he did when a back
woods editor stole two lines of his doggerel a theft, by-lhe-bye, that ought to lose the chap all his exchanges. But others may
not relish being charged with making "gross
and indecent attacks on him" (!) or scrib.

A word in the ear of the eight demo crats in Congress from Indiana, who voted for annexation. The New York Tribune pertinently remarks "Texas is to keep all her own public lands to pay her debt with-
Very good. But then why not allow our
present States their public lands to pay their
debts with? Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, &,c, are deeply involved in debt, and
would like help. But we take the public lands
belong to these States, and use them for th
purposes common to all, Texas included!
Indiana pays half a million a year for Public
Lands, which she divides with Texas and pays her own debt, as she. can; Texas takes
a share of Indiana land proceeds, and keeps
all of hor own. Thi3 is not the fair thing.
CC7We have until, now neglected to no
ticothe return of Mr. W. J. Bcrxs, formerly
of thi place, to the editorial charge of the Greencastle Visiter. . Mr. Burns must be a

ties of an editor life. We wish him suc

&5"Many curious incidents occurred at
New Albany, Louisville, and CincinnaVi
during Polk's stay at those places, some of
them exceedingly rich. At New Albany a
gentleman with a "game leg,''' tied a blue
ribbon around it to attract the notice and
sympathy of Polk, and when he went to
shake hands with him, stretched out his leg
for a was from his little Excellency. Two
others a would-be and au ex-office holder
contended for the honor of sleeping with
his Excellency, each claiming the right to that honor. It was finally put to vole, and
given to the would be, by a majority of one. At this stage of the game, Mrs. Polk put in her claims upon the gentleman from Duck River, and the matter was compromised by providing the dimocrat with a trundle bed in the same room. Oh! .

Although the disease, like other epidem
ics, seems to disdain all common names, yet
our physicians have called it Erysipelatous
Fever. . It usually begins with a chill, a fie r
lasilude, bad stomach, &.C Then comes low fever, with weak, frequent and irregular
pulse, soreness of throat, both within and without, swelling of the glands, tenderness under the ears and of the muscles of the
neck. Thus far the complaint resembles a kind of scarlet fever; but soon an inflamatioa appears on the skin which is clearly Erysipelatous. This inflamation sometimes attack the brain, the air tubes of the lungs, or the aliamentory canal, in which it is often fatal. ' - .
