OT" We are requested to state that Charles Springer. V. I). M. wdl preacli at the court house on Sabbath next, at three o'clock. The Ohio river has risen several feet since our last, and is very high for the season. We would direct the attention nf the reader to the circular cf the postmaster general, inserted on the first page. It will Le found one of the many evidences of the capability and untiring industry of the able head of that Depart ment. We understand that in the neighboringcounty (Boone) Ky. Mr. Uush (Clay) has beaten Mr I'tiinney (adm'n) for the legislature, by a small majority. Will Mr. Gregg be good enough to note that the "only remaining members of the couh ty caucut ticket,' received each 1 080 odd votes and were elected i while Le received &36 ! ! and Was defeated.'.'! By the return published it will be seen that James T. Poilock is elected to the senate in this county; William Flake, Warren Tebbs and David V. Culley representatives; John Levingston probate Judge; John S Percival coroner; Joseph Wood county Commissioner in the 1st district for one year, Mark M'Cracken in the 2d for two years, and George Arnold in the 3d for three years. Election. We have returns and verbal accounts from fceveral counties. In ltipley and Switzerland, John Dumont is elected to the senate; and Mr. Robeson,1 from the fjrmer, and William Cotton and J . H. Scott, from the latter, representatives. II Urady is elected representative in Marion; S U. Morrison in Shelby; and D. Aliey in Decatur. In Franklin, Knoch M'Carty to the Senate, and Read and Noble to the lower house. 4 'Jackson. We have no disposition to exult at the result of the election in this county, but cannot well pass it over without noticing the "large and confiding vote" our neighbor of the Statesman received. In speaking of the election, in his paper of yesterday, he attributes the defeat of the Clay candidates for governor, lieut. governor and congress, to the fact that there were mere than one in the field; but will this apply to his own case? Mr. Arnold, as will be seen, was his only opponent for commissioner, and beat him in 6 townships out of the 9; even Lawrenceburgh went against him. Thus we see Mr. Gregg, after electioneering several days, beaten single handed by a majority of 270 votes. "Alas! poor Yorick." The elections in Indiana are over. Speculalion, as to the vote of ' Old Dearborn," gives way to reality. The whole administration ticket is elected, except the coroner Read for governor, Soiileyj for lieut . governor, and M'Carty for congress, (all administration) lead their opponents by handsome majorities. From what has been ascertained from other counties, we have little doubt of gen. M'Carty's success Including this, Switzerland, Ripley, and Decatur counties, he has a majority of jibout 1200 over Mr. Smith; and we are informed, with the exception of Wayne, where Smith leads about 600, M'Carty has a majority in the upper counties We will not trouble our readers with calculations, but give it as our opinion that the entire administration ticket for governor, lieut. governor, and congress, in the three districts, has succeeded; and from accounts received it is believed the Jackson party well have a ma. jority in the lower house of Assembly and in joint ballot. We understand that since the election sun dry persons have expressed a desire to be initiated into the Jackson ranks. For the information of all such, we are authorized to say that all who shall renounce Clayism within thirty days and signify their intention to support the republican measures of the present administration, shall be admitted on probation lor 10 calendar months; at the expiration of which time, if faithful, they shall be admitted into full communion and fellowship. 1 S. The editor of the Statesman, (as it is supposed he has much to repent of.) shall be allowed 60 days to prepare and purify for the change. Below we give the votes for governor, lieut. governor and congress, so far as ascertained. We shall give a full list when the official returns are received. Governor . . A . Lt. Governor.

A friend called upon us last evening to mention a report which he had heard from a passenger in the steam boat from Baltimore. It is, that general Jackson, on Monday morning, sent for Dr. Randolph,-&. enquired ofphim whether he had been the bearer of a challenge from major Eaton to Mr. Ingham. Dr. Randolph replied, that ihe had conveyed a message from rmjir E. to Mr. I. but that he had determined, should a duel ensue to have no further fhare in it. General Jackson expressed his dissatisfaction with the explanation, and immediately dismissed Dr. Randolph from cilice. U. S. Gazette.

Extract of a Letter. Washington, July 11, 1 831. "The resignation ol Dr. Randolph as acting secretary &. as chief Clerk, took place on Saturday. The inflexibility of the President is thus signally manifested, it being well understood that no personal considerations could have saved the Dr. from removal on account of his unfortunate interference in the affairs of Major Eriton. It must however be considered a most severe penalty which he has paid for the trans gression. The loss of an employment wilh a salary of 2000 a year is a heavy affliction for having embraced with too much zeal and ardour, what few men could under any circumstances decline, the cause of his nearest relatives, wounded as he believed in the most delicate relations. The requirements of justice and public order and the necessary decorums of station however forbade bis remaining in office, and he has anticipated the President by retiring. Acquiescing in the necessity I cannot avoid regretting its existence. I should however have dissented from the course, if he had been permitted to retire, with the charge of 4conspiracy to assassinate" Mr. Ingham hanging over him. If he had done so, it would have seemed that the President held him guilty in that particular also, which would in the opinion of most persons here have been cruel. General Jackson 1 infer, thought so too and having in his letter to 31 r. Ingham acquitted Mr. Randolph so far as he could, of any agency in that offence, has probably intimated to him that for the other, that of carrying a challenge while acting as secretary of War, to the Secretary of the Treasury required this movement. How strongly does this course contrast with that of Messrs. Adams and Clay, when they continued in the first offices in the Government after the duel of Clay, with John Randolph, and how much does the delicate and firm course of Jackson recommend him to the love and confidence of the American people." The Coalition in Distress. After trving to put down the President on the Veto the W.India treaty The Indian humbug, TarilT, &c.,they have given up all hopes of assailing him through his public &, ofiicial acts, & have taken the desperate resolution to make him a party in every quarrel at Washington. But in this, as in every thing else, his conduct will do him honor, and the public will view him as a peacemaker and punisher of duellists and their aiders &; abettors. Essex Democrat. Mr. Simon Taylor, a citizen of this couuty, was struck by lightning one day last week. He was found a few hours after with his clothes literally burnt olf, and he suffered the most excruciating pain. He was absent from home about six miles, on a visit to his farm in Virginia. His wife on hearing of his situation, was thrown into convulsions and died on Sunday evening last. Mr. Taylor is on the recovery. Cumberland (iId.) Advocate. aai The New Bedford Gazette state6 that Mr. Dudley Devenport has removed the large mansion of Mr. Abraham Ruesel, at the head of Union street, 400 feet, with its four stacks of chimneys and all the furniture. So gentle was the operation that the clock in the house kept and struck the hours regularly. Taxes in Ohio. We observe by an advertisement in an Ohio paper, that the tax for state and canal purposes, 13 35 cents on each 100 dollars, and for county purposes, 30 cents on each $100, being 6 mills and a half on the dollar besides this each township has to bear an additional poor tax, &c. of from 3 to 13 cents on the 100 making in all about 7 tax on ihe 1000 This is equal to both our borough and county tax, and more than double our county and state tax, when the latter goes into operation. From this it will be seen

that with respect to taxation a thing in regard to which the people are so sensitive we have a3 yet far the advantage of our brethren of Ohio. Indeed, were it not forthe inequality of its distribution, and the ii judicious manner ofiu application, there would be but ii:tle rea?on to "reluctate" the payment of any of our taxes, seeing how maderate they are, in comparison with those borue by others.

The powder mill of Mr. William Rogers, Jr. situated about 7 miles from Philadelphia, exploded on Saturday the 16th inst. owing to one of the men employed having struck some of the works wilh a hammer, thereby producing tire. Daniel M'Aleer and Patrick M'Devitt were instantly killed; Andrew White lived about 6 hours, and Patrick Nulty about 27 hours afler the explosion. They are all represented as "sober, steady, industrious men, in the prime of life." M'Aleer has left a wife and 6 children, Nully a wife and one child, the other two were single. They were all natives of Ireland M'Aleer and Whiteof thecounty ofTyione, M'Devitt of Ennishowen , aud Nulty of Louth. Rep. Compiler.

Trenton, July 9. We bad, on Wednetday night and Thursday morning last, a very heavy storm, accompanied with severe thunder and lightning the rain fell in torrents many bridges and dams are swept away and a man & horse were killed in a stable near the Washington Paper Mill, by lightning. His name was Samuel Boyd, and he was in the employ of Messrs. Anderson and M'CuIiough, Canal contractors, to whom the horse belonged. The Boston Daily Adv. has this paragraph : "There have been (including the present) seven Presidents. The names of four of them ended in the letters on. The names of three of them ended in the letters son, but neither of these three had a son. All of them were married ; but three of them were childless. The son of the only one, that had a son, wa9 one of the seven. Four of the seven are dead and three of them died on the fourth of July!" Blairsville, Pa.) July 14. Flood ! On Wednesday night of last week, the streams in this vicinityrose to an unusual height, in consequence of the continued rains of seveial previous days. In the destruction of lives and property, it has far exceeded every other freshet within the memory of our oldest settlers. Nearly all the dams, bridges, saw-mill?, Sec. on the Southern tributaries of the Conemaugh, have been swept away, and in their descent into the river, caused considerable damage to the State Improvements. A sam mill was carried down Tubmill creek, which enters into the river at Bolivar, 7 miles above this place, to the aqueduct at that place, against which it lodged, and so completely stopped the passage for the water, that the whole town was inundated, and, dreadful to relate, four person, a Mr. Mills, his wile and two children, lost their lives. They were in a Stone house, near the bank of the creek and canal which was swept oil from the very foundation. Mr. M. awoke in the morning about 2 o'clock, got up and sent nil two men who were sleeping in the house, to raise a waste weir to let the water out of the Canal, (he being a sub-supervisor,) fearing it might hurst out the embankment. The men advised him to leave the house, as the water was then fast rising; he replied that he would "go up stairs, there was no danger there;" and we are informed that in less than 15 minutes after, there was not a particle of the building to be seen. Fortunately the men who left the house took with them one of Mr. M.'s children, by which it was saved. The body of one of the drowned children was found next day a short distance below the others have not yet been discovered. We have also been informed that a young man who was descending the river above Johnstown, on a raft, wa3 drowned. We have neither the name or particu lars of t h i 3 disaster. The Turnpike Bridge across Stony creek, a mile west of this place, together wilh Mr. Singley's saw-mill and Mr. Barnes' dam, were all earned away.On M'Gee's run, Mr. Dixon's saw-mill and dam were swept olf, and the dam and race of Mr. Wallace's Grist mill very much injured. Record. Hillsborough, Ohio,, July d. Great Flood. On Monday and Tuesday last we had several of the hea viest showers of rain which has fallen in this county for n number of years past. Information from the different streams in this neighborhood represent them as having swollen to a fearful height, and we have rumors that a number of Mills, dams, bridges, and houses have been swept away. We have learned that one man was drowned in Brush creek on Tuesday last; ard we have also heard that two stage horses were drowned in Eagle creek near West Union, on Monday last. Gazette. Arch street prison, Philadelphia. There were four thousands and seventy three committals at this institution during the last year: and the keeper, in a let ter to Robert I raux, states that at least three thousand were persons ol intevipe' rate habits.

Madison, Indiana, July 23. Lightning. On Monday the 18th, during a heavy shower, an unusual case of electricity occurred in this town. Four several houses were struck, by one and the same flash, viz: The dwelling of James C. Lee, a email log building: his hatter's shop, a small Irame; the large brick house formerly owned by Mr. Boicourt; and the large brick dwelling of R. C. Talbott. The electric fluid spent its main force on the chimney of Mr. Lee's dwelling, which it nearly demolished, shalteiing the bricks, & nearly burying some ot them in the ground nearly all the window glass in the house being broken. One of the door frames and posts of his shop was considerably shattered. Neither of the other houses sustained any malerial injury. N person was hurt. An infant child of Mr. Lee was sleeping on a pallet, on the floor, near the fire place, wilh nothing intervening but a cradle, against which the bricks were thrown

violently the cradle kept them from the child. The houses of Boicourt and Talbott are at least a hundred yards apart, with a Btreet between each of them and Lee's dwelling, and in opposite directions from it. We believe it is not usual for the electric fluid to scatter so widely. Republican. The Philadelphia butchers refused to attend at their stalls, with supplies of meat, on Saturday last and yet have not returned to their usual order of business. Much inconvenience has been sufifered on account of this proceeding, and one man, the only one, who refuged to unite in it, seems to have attended his stall under the protection of the police. The cause of this singular state ot things which makes the market hou3e a desolate place, is, the complaint of the regular butchers that the farmers, and other persons whom they call "stunners," are allowed to cut-up and retail meat in the street, (in parcels less than a quarter), free of charge, while they are paying heavy rents to the city for their stalls. The question of right thus raised i not easily settled "much may be said on both sides." JViles. An unusual occurrence. The day before ) esterday five male persons, including five generations, met together in this city and eat together down to dinner. The group consisted of a father, his son, his grandson, his great-grand son, and his great-great-grand son. And it is worthy of note that the patriarch of the family held the infant who was of the fifth generation, in his arms, and fed him at the table. Troy Budge!. The Evening Post contains a computation of the chances that were, on the 4th of July, 177G, that Adams Jefferson and Monroe would die when they did. It is mado with mathematical accuracy ; and the result is, that a bet, to correspond with the chauces, ghoul J have been 10,263 millions of dollars to one mill) against - these events occurring when they did.
