The mortal career tf Andrew Jackson seems to bo rapidly approaching its close. We copy the fallowing extract cf a letter from the General to Mr. Llair, dated May 2d, and published in the Washington Union. The first paragraph relates to the General's papers. I wish them handed over to you, to whom I will them for the defence of my reputation. There are many private pipers that ought to go into no other bands but a confidential friend's. . -Our friend Col. Polk will now to meet the braggadocio, ud bluster of Teel and Russell, put forth at th.s time to alarm the timid and spur up the American traitors. My dear friend, I am exhausted, and must close. I am a blubber of water from the toes to the crown of my head, aud every line I write must pause, for breath. May the choicest blessings of Heaven be bestowed on you and every branch of your family, h the united prayer of the inmate. cf the Hermitage." The letter occupies a little more than two pages of letter paper. The handwriting is as good as the General ever wrote no 6ign of tremor, and not a word scratched out, or interlined. The following is an extract of a letter to the President, dated May 9th: "I must doss. I am greatly afflicted. I am swollen from the toes to the crown of the head, and in bandage to my hips. What may be the result God only knows. I am prepared calmly to submit to his will. My whole house salutes you and lady ; and mav God preside over and give you a successful and beneSciil admin istration to our beloved country. r Your frieud, sincerely, ANDREW JACKSON." Hon. Iluiry L. Ellsworth, Late Commissioner of the Patent Office, has arrived and taken up his residence at Lafayette, in this State. When made aware, some months since, of his intention of resigning Iiis oSice at Washington, we felt much regret, alleviated only by the knowledge that his great experience iu business habits were to enrich our S ate. We rejoice alsj, that the President has selected so worthy and able 6uccesior in his place. Mr. Ellsworth, has s;me of the most splendid farms in the State; and we doubt nut that his management cf them w,ll not only redound to our own benefit, but that it will stimulate our western farmers to greater i.nprovemfnl3 in the only banks in which tley need ever desire, or ought ever, to hold shares. The Tippecanoe Journal thus announces hi arrival : Tr.e Hon. II. L. Eil -worth, lite ComruHsi.mer of Patents whose valuable Reports have thrown so much l.ght uj-Oii the resources and industry cf the country, as well as given accurate and important information in regard to new d scoveries and improvements in the various useful arts arrived here a few days since. He comes with the intention of making Lafayette hi

Circuit Court, dur- J ing its present session, decided that the deed of the Collector i zrimct farm ericVnce that l.e hes rmrsurd ' ' i the statute in all things after the duplicate and precept came into his hands ; and that a tax title is good, if the law has been complied with in the pre1 viocs steps to the receipt of the precept by the Collector, where the proof did not rebut the presumption of the validity , of the acts of the Collector raised by the deed. ThU decision gives to tax titles a value that they, were not supposed to possess, although a somewhat similar decision had been made by our own Supreme Court. This is perhaps the first instance in this State where a tax title has been sustained against the proprietor, and perhaps a harder case will not be presented as it was a sale of a quarter section or 1G0 acres worth hundreds for a tax of about four dollars. II owes A; Mnbie's Circa. The Company under the management of Messrs. Howes &. Mabie concluded an engagement last week in this place, and gave satisfaction to large and crowded audiences. Our Lmits will not permit U3 to gd into details; but we cannot omit to make honorable mention of the company generally and particularly cf the excellent band accompanying. It is very seldom that the bands of travelling mena geries and circusscs are full ; and the few individuals composing them are in general unqualified for harmony. Tnis band, however, is an exception. Gentlemen all, capital artists, with excellent music and beautifully arranged, they daserve what they invariably receive, high praise and credit. They visit the Wabash counties from here, and we must recommend them to our Western friends, Donnaxan in particular. J. J. Hugh's Saddles Ac. We know of no other cause than the contemplated speedy completion of the Rail Road to induce Rugh to sell his excellent saddles at his low prices. However, people will continue to use horse flesh, and will therefore need elegant, light, and easy saddles and harness ; for "the merciful man is merciful to his beast." liugh furnishes all articles in bis line, well made and cheap. It is no degradation to several others in the sama business, to say al-, that he is one cf the best fellows in town; (except in pasturing ! !) We would advise our friends to read his advertisement, and then give him a call. Note Hooks. The finest and best Note Rooks ever printed in the Western Country, for sale at this office.

John Pcriif. 'Another Destructive Fire at Pittsburgh.' The Newcastle Courier, cd .ted by a snappish little , It seems to us that the Millerites are to have their fellow named Grubls, who always seems ambitious to their great fire of property, even though m'ölher earth enact in petticoat the political Mrs. Caudle, improves seems likely to escape, judging from the extensive upon a late paragraph '.n the State Journal as follows : encs daily occurring all over the country.

Tim is the essence c: Uie personal assaults now being made by the whig pipers generally, a gainst Mr.Pittit. Not awordissiid against his political , integrity as a democrat"; not an intimation that he ' did not faithfully fuUil the functions of a reprrsonta- j tive ia the last Congress. But, he is not pious . enough to suit these wise assailants! Not piou3j enough, simply because he thinks the chaplains ought: to be mid out of the &3 per day of the members, iust t i i r . I. : j ,r as every Douy tise pay ur such viwa's, iumwu hi J . J , r,. . appropriating lue (.'uoiit urasuic. uij;ut ur roiijj, it is not likely that Pettit can accomplish the purpose be aimed at; there is too much hypocrisy and humbug in Congress, for thil ; and the greatest hypocrites would clamor loudest agaia-t it ; that's "the way of the world. And at any rate, it is a very trifling matter. Who cares how the chaplains are paid, so that they get the money t Certainly not these clam orous and slanderous Whig editors. Why then should they so bitterly assail a min for a mere difference of opiuion on such a nutter ? Simply because as a democrat, he is a thorn in the sides of wh'gery, and it devotees can discharge their gill in no other way". We are glad to see that tliere is one whig editor, who, from motives of p Iicy, or soma more generous sentiment, does not join in those personal assaults, and even ventures to rebuke them. We mein the Tippecanoe Jonruil, which i published at Lafayette, the place of Mr. Tettit's residence, and whose editor knows Mr. P. much better than those who assail him. The Journal cf Slay 22d contains the following : "The democracy some of them at least seem to ba in ecstacies because we don't choose to vilhfy, abuse and blackguard their candid ite for Congress, Mr. rettit. The thing ' is unaccountable to them. They can't see luto it. Well it's no great matter, whether they understand it or not. It's a tray we have, however. .Mr. Fettit is known to the ppople of the district. He has served them in Congress, and, os we honestly believe, has done q'i ite well, in a mere political point of view, as would any other man the Democracy could have selected. He is bold and fearless (in some things rather rckles-) and not without taleuts. " Whatever his faults may be and he ha f nough, in all conscience he seeks not to concea them. John rettit is no hypocrite. What he is, h is and he don't tare who knows it. What he thinks, he is not afraid to avow, and that, too, upon the housetops. Tor this, wc could not help respecting him, if we would." Guv. 17 all .ire. The following is the card, to which we alluded last week, in which Gov. Wallace decline to stand as one of the Whig candidates to represent Marion county in the npxt General Assembly.

The whig papers are just now very busily engaged in making personal assaults on our candidates for Congress, Owen and Pettit. We wish, by the way, they would hammer away a little at Jo. Wright, as well. It is a good sign this whig abuse ; we never feel so sure we are doing right, as when we are receiving copious showers of it. We think it about the same as to our candidates ; and therefore regard the present assaults upon Owen and Pettit as the highest encomia which Whiggery could bestow. S. C. Sample". A letter to the ed.tors dated Oxford, Ecntou co.; Ind., May 31, says: "Samuel C. Sample, the Whig candidate for Congress in the 9ih District, spoke in our Court House this day to five Whigs and one Democrat. This, we think, is but poor encouragement, after having the notices posted up in different places for more than a week: Our friend Charles Cathcart has not been round yet." Look out, Coons ! Misery. Mr. L. G. Thompson, nominated by the Whigs cf the lOlh District, has, since the nomination, written a letter decldring himself an abolitionist. - If he supposes that will get him to Congress, he must be very imaginative. How office-seekers can degrade themselves ! Roger Martin, the Whig candidate for Congress in the Madison District, is an Irishman by birth and a mechanic at that. Does this look as though the whigrs were aristocratic, and opposed to foreigners. Tip. Jour. It looks just like the trickery always practised by the Whigs when they find themselves in a "tight place." If they could elect one of their "parlor politicians" in Henley's district, they would be very far from nominating Roger Martin, or any other Irishman or .Mechanic. ; They once played the same game with the Presidency ; and in this instance as in that, they only support their man in the belief that they cart use him if he. should happen to be successful through the force of humbu'r. Miami County. The Democrats of Miami county held a convention at Teru, on the 17th April, fcf which James Douglass was chairman, and John M. Wilt was secretary. The following nominations were made : Representative for Wabash and Miami, Benjamin Hexton ; Prosecuting Attorney for Judicial C.rcuit, Nathan O. Ross for Sheriff, Miami county, John Clymer; Co. Commissioner, JameS Tillett; School Com., Eli Cook; Auditor, Reueen Harrison ; Assessor, Robert Watson. C-In Harrison county, Nathaniel Albe rtsotf is a candidate for the Senate, and Wm. Saffer and F. McRea, for Representatives. These are all good men, and will make excellent Representatives for the People of Harrison. We hope they may all be elected. The unwashed Democracy have a mortal antipathy to soap factories. LouisviUe Journal. Had the Journal said " the people of Indiana " instead of its cant phrase ,funwashed Democracy," it would have been nearer the truth. The soap " of coonery and whig financiering in " soap-factories," has naturally created o " mortal antipathy" among the Hoosiers ; nor have they forgotten the 'soapers."

To burn them in the flames kindled by their hands, would be the best use to make of them. The following is from the Morning Tost of May 2St!i : , " Last evenin. between 8 and 9 o'clock, a fire troke out

Tio doubt, we iiiidertand, is entertained but thin fire wa lhe work of an incendiary, as liiere was no oilier incur), by which it could have originated, in the stable. The amount of property destroyed is not laree ; but it fall upon a cIjm that are not able to bear it. The dwel lings destroyed were mostly occupied by workin people and kinnll stores, who snved but little tn the general consiernulion lliat pervoded. Fortunately, the evening was culm, and there was no wind to carry the flame beyond the neighborhood whre they originated. If it had been otherwise, the calamity might lme been almost as de structive as the fire on t'ie 10th of Ancil. iMuch piaise is due to our energetic firemen fir their indefiitigaMe eiertions on this occasion, in staying the I progress of the flames. Attempt to Hunt the Aqueduct. An attempt was lately made to burn the Aqueduct at Pittsburgh. The Chronicle says, 4that a quantity of shavings and trood had been collected together, and placed immediately under ßome large timbers, laying at the end cf the abutment, and then set on fire by some fiend in human shape. Had the fire been discovered a few minutes later, it would have undoubtedly got under such headway, as to have ren dered it impossible to save the noble structure." Fire at Zanesville. The Recorder cives an account of a destructive fire in Zanesville. It says the fire was discovered in the east part of the bridge crossing the Muskingum River and connecting Putnam to Zanesville. In a very short time, every thing being perfectly dry, and as yet no means brought into requisition to arrest the progress of the flames, the very valuable mill and factory at the we6t end were enveloped in flames and reduced to a heap tf ruins. An engine was brought to the Tutnam side of the river by way cf the upper bridge in time to prevent the further progress of the devouring element in this direction. At the east end the engines were brought more easily into action aud were instrumental in saving the draw bridge and a srrall portion cf the east end of the large bridga. The estimate of property destroyed, is about as follows : . The bridge is estimated nt The ficlory, tri;icliinery, contents, A c. The mill and several thou&und bushels of wheat, $14.000 ü.UUO 14,000 Ajrsregnte, $31,000 The factory w as the property of Mr. Thomas, and was we und. rsii.nd, acquired by hi personal unwiligaud industrv and enterprise. The mill wa. lhe property of Beaumont & Co., and was covered by an insnrancn equal to Us value. Uns wnütlie ouly property insured. The piers of the bridge nustninrd considerable damage. The one at the west end is very much dnmiigpd, nnd we presume will have to be removed when the bridge is rebuilt. ... N doubt is entertained but this fire originated from inceitdiiiristn. .

Some thousand bushel, toi, entirely unfitted lor flouring purposes, were to be seen on the bank iimong the promiscuous heap of ruin. That noble and useful structure, the lower bridge, in which twenty-four hours since the ALL, or nearly so, of Severn I worthy widow ladies, was invested, is now to be seen floating in the river, the common property of any who sue fit to use it for fuel. Great Tire in Lafayette! The American House, and Five or Six other Buildings entirely Destroyed ! ! On Monday eight last, our town was visited by the most extensive and destructive fire that has ever occurred among us. The entire row of buildings on the north side of Main between Ohio and Wabash streets, with the exception of those occupied by Wcb ster's Book Store, Otis Sc Cö.'s Dry Goods and Grocery Store, and the Mammoth Store, cn the east, and Meeker &. Cö.'s on the west, Is in ruins ! The principal sufferers are Mr. Catlierwood, proprietor of the American House; Dr. Halliday, Druggist; J. B. Congle, Saddler ; J. S. &. A. Casad, Hatters ; S. Greenough, Boot &, Shoe manufactureis ; Fry &. Jackson, Job Printers ; the heirs of Richard II. Johnson ; heirs of John C. Chamberlain ; Thomas' S. Cbx ; and the heirs of Simeon S. Ayres. The book store of A. P. Webster, being in imminent danger, was gutted, and his loss in the destruction of books, &.C, was considerable. The store of Otis & Co. was cleared of goods, as were tilso several other mercantile houses adjacent to the fire causing more or less loss by waste, theft, &c. The space in front of the public square, and the streets and allies, were covered with goods of every description. The stables contained twelve horses, Fax or seven of which were burnt to death. The entire loss in buildings and other property, cannot be less than Twelve or Fifteen Thousand Dollars and but little, if any insurance. Free Press, May 29. The Second Great itnre. The second great race between Fashion and Feytona came off on the Camden Course on the 23th ult. Fashion wt j the Winner. Time first heat, 7.43 ; second, 7.57. A serious accident occurred just previous to the race, by the falling of one of the stands, which has been much magnified by the papers. Wonderful as it may seem, but from 12 to 20 individuals were injured, some seriously, though perhaps not mortally. O-Wyatt, the condemned murderer, in the Auburn State Prison, attempted to commit sü'icide recently, by opening a vein with a piece of tin Obtained from a button.

Tennessee. 07-The contest for Governor in Tennessee is con

ducted with great spirit The candidates are Hon. Aaron V. Rrown, dem and Ephraim Foster, Fed. Both candidates are miking & tour through the State and meet at appointed places to discuss political ques tions. Their discussions are frequently enlivened with passages of wit and humor. One encounter at Jackson is described in the Jackson Republican. Mr. Brown, who was the last speaker, in conclud- i ing his argument, said his great object had been to draw Mr. Foster back to his old republican principles j if he failed, all he could say was, in the language of scripture, "Lphraim ! Ephraim is joined to us ldou, lei uim aionc ana ue nopeu on tne ui oi au cust election day the people would let him alone, Mr. foster retorted that there was another passage Aaron was mentioned, who, while Mcses ascended the mount to receive the law of God. built a golden calf and worshipped it, and that it was a fat caif (pointing to Mr. Rrown.) Mr. Rro.vn replied that such was tie fact; that Aaroa did build a golden calf, but that was made of "oV, (a sort of t mint drop,) whereas he, Mr. Fester, is 1 1 "I 1 I Had made 1.13 oou ci u lay. Aner tlie applause which followed this remark of Mr. B. a nad somewhat subsided, Mr. Foster replied Lis Clay god was formed m the image of his Creator, that our Creator made Adam of Clay, and that it would have been much better had Aaron made his golden calf cf Clay. Mr. Erown answered that Mr. Foster's Clay god like all other false gods, had been overturned. As Mr. Foster was not very prompt in replying to this last shot, Mr. Brown supposed the sparr.ng was finished ; and observed to the audience, that as he was a stranger to them, he hoped that they would give no importance to their wit and levity, but that they would go to their homes and think seriously upon the grave subjects they had heard dibatcd. Mr. Foster see med to think that "it would never do to jrive it up bo, Mr. Droicn" and he egain rose and said his competitor reminded him cf a drunken preacher he once heard of, who, at the close of his sermons, always admonished Iiis congregation to do as he said, and not as lie d.d. Ah, replied Mr. Brown, looking Mr. Foster in the face, you are for sermonizing, are you ! I will not pretend to say what kind of a preacher you would make, but this much I do know, that you would afford the test text for a sermon I know of. With such a text, the most ordinary min'ster might preach an excellent sermon either for Texas or against Texas either f ;r a tariff" or against the taritr either for a Bank or agaiust a Bank cither for Jackson or against Jackson either for Clay or against Clay. Piety aud Proscription. The following paragraph is extracted from the ! Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, which is, as the phrase goes, one of the 'mo-t religious" papers ia the country. We are puzzled to understand the drift cf the writer exactly, unless he means that the "proscription" cf whiggery is a religious virtue. If the writer is correct in his statements, there can be no other conclusion than the above, unless it be that the more pious a man becomes the lesi generous he is ; and cf course the Journal of Commerce will not agree to that. Here is the extract: 'It is a curious fact that the most proscriptive administrations have been the most church-going, if you except Van Buren, who was not very devout while here. Jackson 'was as regular as a clock in his attendance at the First Presbyterian in the morning. Not in vain did his poor mother teach him the cate chism, of whom and of which teachings I have heard ,im fc whh liye interegt C t .i ' WRys been exemplary ln these I Mr. Adams has almatters.

Kail Itoad. New England has already invested thirty millions of dollars in railways, most of which investment pays a dividend of G and 7 per cent.; some as high as 10 and 12 per cent. Railways now in progress will absorb twelve millions more of capital, all of which will probably be completed in five years, which will nearly perfect their system of iron net work, band.ng six States together as one State, giving increased energy to the hand of labor bringing out new sources of production, and establishing a , certainty, as well as a cheapness and frequency df intercommunication, especially promotive of social intercourse and happi ness among the laboring classes, who cannot travel unless at low rates of fare. It is but twenty years since the first rail was laid in New England, and now the results already produced, by private enterprise, are such as to excite astonishment and admiration". Mexican Outrage. The Washington Union makeä tl e folldwing statement : Mr. Alexander Atocha, a citizen cf the United States, engaged in extensive commercial euterpnses in the capital, where he had res.ded for several years a wealthy Auierican merchant, was suddenly ordered to quit the republic, in the short space of eight days. Mr. Atocha immediately applied to our minister for protection, and a strong remonstrance was forthwith despatched by him to the Mexican government But the allotted period of eight days passed, without a reply, and Sir. Atocha was forced to abandon his dwelling, furnished in the most tasteful and expensive manner, to relinquish his lucrative commercial business, and, with a large family, to depart for Vera Cruz, whence he sailed for New York, where he has arrived. ...... It is a question of political importance that should at once be decided by this case, whether our inoffensive citizens are to be thus driven, like dogs, from Mexico, without the allegation of guilt or oifence against her laws.' A VETO.-The Albany papers contain the Veto Message of the Governor of the State of New York, of the bill appropriating $197,C00 to the different canals in that State." Jt is very long, making seven columns and a half of the Argu3, and goes fully and ably into the merits of the case. His reasoning upon the different points involved', ia conclusive." The bill was lost in the Legislature cn being returned, tliere not being a constitutional majority ia its favor."

A Hornau Hanged. The following paragraph has appeared in nearly all the papers, east and south : "CrA Mrs. Reed, under sentence of death at Lawrenceville, Indiana, for the murder of her husband, after several ineffectual attempts to hang herself, has confessed, not only the poisoning cf her husband, for

which she was condemned, but two other persons before, as well as the murder of a nephew for bis money; and, as though these enormities were not enough, she has nso confessed taring caused the death of two children by starvation ! There is at least one error in the statements made : Lawrenceville is not in Indiana, but is in Illinois. whether there are other errors, we do not know. We see by the Vincennes Sun, that the woman spoken of has, as they say paid the penalty of the law.

Hanging a Woman ! a she devil, if the truth is told ; nnd making the 1 t ,0 her ül0 Gate of Heaven , What a tt j0 t'. , , . rious consolation " this idea must be to the pious men thus engaged in upholding the majesty cf the Law ! A few feet of rope saves her, perhaps, from eternal perdition ! A cheap redemption, indeed ! How the " penny papers " would have "improved" upon all this ! Nor would they have passed so lightly over " the credit due to Sheriff Thorn, for the feeing manner in which" he strung up the woman ! The changes they would have rung upon his exceedingly amiable performance of such a christian di ty, would have added indefinitely to the gratification whfcli, if he be at all sensitive, he must ever reflect upon with pleasure, even after the zest of present enjoyment is blunted by time ! They would have analyzed with great acuteness the difference between killing "feel- : 1 : u 1.1. ..1 J l:h: .1 miiy iu v-uiu uiuuu, aim jiiuu iu a passion: uius would they cultivate the kindlier Qualities of men, while they filled their own purses with " the price of blood," as a means of further usefulness. The next time the Sun has such a chance for doing good to the public and itself, we hope it will make more of it than it does in this : "Execution of Mrs. Reed. The execution of Mrs. Reed who was convicted at the last Circtut Court at Lawrenceville, 111., for poisnnin: her husband, took place on I riday the Udd cf May, lsk. A lare con course of persons, of both sexes attended to witness the execution sue was conveyed trom the pnson to the place cf execution in a carriage, accompanied bv tli?

She appeared calm, and res gned to her fate, and at the gallows joined with the clergyman and others, in solemn prayerand in singing At half past three o clock, the signal was made, the rope was cut, and she was launched into eternity. The body remained hanging for near half an hour. The ceremony was truly impressive, and much credit is due to bhenn Thorn, for the feehng manner in which he executed the painful duties devolving on him. Fate oT mi Li'sing IVoiimii. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has the power of granting divorces. A ca.se was heard before this court a slnrt time since, of which the Botoi Daily Advertiser gives the following report brief, but full of material for sad thought : The parties had lived in New Bedford. Now the husband is in Rhode Iland and the Wife in Boston. He had suspected her of unfaithfulness, and she had left him and soon lived openly in disgrace. A letter which she wrote him many months ago was produced and read to the court. It was well expressed and deeply affecting. She was in great want and desti tution, and appealed to his geucrosity. " Bitterly," she said, " have I paid for my folly. But I was not alone guilty ; and soon I fell among tho e who carried me deeper than ever." She begged for a little money to save her from Lunger and want. "Little William," she added in this part of the letter, often asks of you, and Ellen always speaks tf yoar return when 1 bave no bread to give her." Another letter of a later date was produced and shown to the Judge. It was written after she had been legally notified that her husband tought a divorce. It was coarse and Vulgar too much so to be read aloud in open court. The ruin was complete, and one could almost see beside them haggard want, and bitter repining, and the inability to repent. The divorce was granted, and the wretched outcast is left to her fate, without the possibility of returning; forever barred from the love and protection of him on whose arms she had rested for many years, and who is the father of her children. The following is not inapplicable in its moral in these regions J The Clerk and the Devil. A merchant's clerk came into a printing ofiice a short time since, and seeing a pile of papers lying on the table, (it being the d.iy of publication) unceremoniously helped himself to a copy, and uttering the following to tue printer's devil: " I 'spose you don't take any pay for just one paper 1" Not always,' replied the devil. Shortly afterwards the devil entered the the store where the clerk belonged and called for a pound of raisins, which were quickly weighed out by the clerk. The devil took the raisins 6aying ' I 'spose you don't charge anything when a fellow dont take but a pound!" 'No,' said the clerk, after seeing the disadvantage under which he was placed by his cwn stirgy, impudent Iliibcrality towards the pennyless printer's devil, and looking daggers at the little imp, indignantly exclaimed When Iget any more newspapers front a printer t FUpay for Vw' The Washington U. S. Journal states that a gentleman of that city, who, for nine months, liad suffered intense pain, rnd during the greater part of the time had been confined to his bed, by which he as well as hi3 physician conceived to be a fistula, and to remove which a surgical operation was to be performed, was happily relieved a few days ago by two splinters of hard wood, about half an inch in length and about the sixteenth cf an inch in thickness, working through the flesh. It is supposed that he swallowed them while drinking at spring ; and he is now recovering from his long affliction. An Old Lady recently died in Boston, whom we recollect having seen in our boyish days. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Saunders ; and her father was Governor Hancock's factotum before the revolution, and after it also we believe. She was. bofri in Boston on the 27th of October 1733 or '9, thus having lived tlie wonderful age of one hundred and six or seven years. The Carlisle (Pa.) Bank is to be wound upi At a meeting of the stockholders, on Monday last, it was decided by a vote of 5S7 to 3, that they would not accept of the rechafter under the act of the last session, embracing as it does, the individual liability feature: So another gang of robbers will be disbanded.

Swarlwout, Esq., formally collector of New York, was brought to a close on Wedneday afternoon in the U. S. District Court at New York. The jury after a most patient investigation, gave a verdict that there is due to Mr. Eck ford's estate ,$23.555, thu practically deciding that Mr.'Swartwout was hot a defaulter. We now suppose that the wbigs will no longer be ashamed to own him.

CHAPMAN. X correspondent of tlie M.rror communicates the following incidents which occurred on board the steamboat Swallow : "The awful scene exhibited to the self-possessed observer many striking traits of human nature. In the very height of the confusion and dismay, on the upper deck, when all was darkness, the enuw falling fast, tlie boat sinking rapidly, wives shrieking for husbands, SiSters for brothers, and children for parents! and the accents of prayer best befitted the lips, tiie voice of u strong-hearted ruthan was heard, even above the tumult, pouring volleys of oaths at the poor agonized females around him, because of the emotion they exhibited. A gentleman was hurrying up from tlie lower cabin, with difficulty escaping the pursuit of the waters, and when he reached the saloon, he saw a husband hasten from a state-room beside hiu closely hugging a valise, while his wife, with an infant ia her arms, and another little child by her side, shrieked to him, as he rushed away, never turning hi head to view their fate 'Husband! husband! in Gcd's name drop your valise and save your w ife and childern ! but he disappeared unheeding! He probably preferred the miserable gold in his valise to his wife acd children ! A gentleman, although he had apparently lost everything except the clothing on his back, did not make an effort for himself until he had secured the safety of that family. We rejoice to be able to offset so fiendish an exhibition of selfishness with the energy of disinterested generosity. " One man, on being seized by the hair, and his Lead lifted out of the water, exclatmed, " Save her ! sav e her ! let me go, and save her ! On looking farther, they found aud succeeded in rescuing the lady, who was, it appeared, only an acquaintance, who had been placed in his charge. A gentleman of Detroit, named Huestj having a bag containing $1000 iu gold, jumped overboard with ti.e bag upon his arm, but was soon obliged to let it go. He was only saved by having fortunately grasped a narrow strip of Loard, as he jumped. Close after him came another man, claim ing the board, with curses and imprecations. As ho struck out from the boat, he almost immediately went down, grasping the possessor of the board by the foot He, however, released himself with great difficulty,' and was saved. Q-The following is the language cf the Kentucky Reporter, a strong Whig paper. His patriotism baa got a little stronger than his party, although he cannot help disparaging the administration : " But be the cause what it may that has brought down upon us the united threats and denunciations of both Great Britain and Mexico, we very much fear acting in concert and co-operation, and be our confidence in those who are now at the head of our affairs ever so limited, we deem it the duty of us all to imitate that policy hich England has always pursued, and which is so strikingly developed in this very debate upon Oregon, and that is, to present an unbroken front as one people. When the rights of the Nation are invaded, its territory attacked or its honor violated, should all negotiation fail (as we trust it will not,) and the sword be made to settle the d.spute, we doubt not the present race will prove true to their Revolutionary blood, and be found fully alle to dtfecd acd maintain American soil end .Americsn honor, either by lend or sea, against Great Britain and her almost unbounded resources." The World in a Bad Way. The last Nauvoo Neighbor gives up" the world, with the following diagnosis of its present condition : "Disease incurable ! chills and fever in America ; palsy and debauchety in Europe; consumption and gout in Asia; plague and leprosy in Africa! A? with Israel so with tlie world the whole head is sick and the whole heart faint, end die it must! And Mormonism, eternal Mormonism, willwitncfs the dying struggle the last gasp, . hen the earthquakes and triumphs over death, hell and the grave. So let the old world die." Gamblers. In New Orleans, on the 10th instant, Allen Jones was fined 1000, and J. J. Bryant, .$20C0, (being the second offence) for violation of the laws against gambling, and to remain in prison till the fines were pid. All the gaming apparatus waa confiscated. Benefit of Advertising. The Worcester, Mass. JEgis, slates that Messrs. Harlem &.
