M. C. i A It 15 K It . IMilur. WED.MiHDAV i:Vi:.M.U, AIGIST . (gj- A Roller Roy wanted at this office. Congressional Election in Jefferson Cocntt. We have not teen much to discourage our friends in the returns, eo far. True, Mr. Dunn has increased the Whig majority in this county some 125 votes. The Whig party is not by any means 6tronger by this vote, it being brought about by the disgraceful trading of principle by some of the Democrats. .Mr. Dunham was openly sold, and Democrat? suffered themselves to be bought up like cattle in the market to vote for Mr. Dunn, upon the poor condition of receiving in exchange a Whig vote for a petty county olEce. The Whig majority in this county over all opposition fast fall for Gen. Talor, was 033. The Democratic majority in this Congresssional District, at the same time, over all opposition, was 42G. Now, if the Democrats in Washington, Clark, and Jackson counties, have done as well as they did last fall, and we see no reason why they should no: do better, Mr. Dunham is elected by a majority of 175 votes. Purchase of Mount Vernon. A late visitor at Mount Vernon involuntarily gives a forcible reasson for the nation to purchafe that estate, by describing the dilapidated appearance of the place. He say?: "We passed between the ruins of what has in other days been the Porter's Lodge. The walls remained, but the gate was gone, and the fences which had inclosed the beautiful grounds were nowhere visible. Inside, the roads became worse than erer, and we had to get out of the carriage and w alk, to relieve the poor horses. The old brick wall and conservatory of Washington's garden was broken and out of joint. The gates were off their hinges, and nettles, and noxious weeds, and parasitical plauts clung to them. The only living tilings about this cluster of dwellings were a few geese and goslings, which waded through a small stagnant pool near by. Even the tomb of this great man bore the same evidence of neglect. The bricks which supported the marble were crumbling, and the mortar which held them together hud fallen from between and left them loose." Let the nation purchase Mount Vernon before it shall have fallen too far into decay; for the place, if once destroyed, can never be restored. Buy it, and make it a botanical garden, or something else useful; but buy it. And lei it be done at the very next session of Congress. Ohio and Switzerland Counties. We cannot forbear congratulating our friends in Ohio and Switzerland. In this District Wood (D?m.) has been elected Senator; Spencer (Dem.) and Wright (Whig), Representative.--; Rouse (Dem.), Sheriff; and Jones (Dem.), Clerk of Switzerland county. Democratic count Commissioners and Justices of the Peace elected in both counties. Your 0?-, John! May you live to be the father of many vein? Democrats, "notwithstanding your youthful appearance." Hurrah 'or th? John Ticket! including this time the Whig John elect. 07" The Emperor of Russia has f. und a defender in a cot respond ent of tn NewYork Courier, who signs himself '-Consei vative." The writer affirms that there is in Europe liberty enough for all rational purposes. He predicts that the Czar will be hailed as a deliverer from the honors of Red Republicanism, by thoe who now revile li i tn for his oppressions. The writer appears to be serious in what he say?. lie ought to emigrate to Russia, and assume the character of a serf; then, perhaps, he would change his opinion. fv-The Coult mporanea, of Rome, of the 20th June, states that a cannon ball had etruck the celebrated "Auroi a," of Guido Reni. a fresco painting; that on the same Jay a SS-pounder broke o piace of the cornice cf the temple of Fountuna Virilis; and that considerable damage had been done by the French batteries to the churches of St. Mary of Trastivere, St. Andrea delist Villa, and St. Charles of Catarina, which contained some fine frescoes of Doniinichino. fjr Four young Morocco girls of wonderful per.-onal beaut', who have been acting as Heces and distributors of coffee and other beverages, at on? of the fashionable Cafes m Pane, have gone to London. They have n ghtiy attracted large crowds, as well from the singularity of their appearance as from their personal beauty, and have realized for their importer a cor.H-aerab.c sum.

OCrSir Charles Lyell, the geologist, contends that the sea-serpent is nothing but a huge shark; and that the snaky movement is an optical deception, occasioned by the undulations of the water. The U. S. Finances. A statement from the Secretary of the Treasury shows that the receipts into the treasury for the quarter ending the 20th of June, 1849, were, as nearly as can now be ascertained, $11,141,491 76 of which $5,794,256 50 was from customs, and the balauce from the loins, lands, &c. The expenditures for the same period were SI4.418.231 29 of which $1,765,223 53 was ; interrPt on the treasury notes and public debt, J2,993,850 for reimbursement of treasury note?, S6 11,175 for redemption of debt, and 560,443 81 commissions on purchase of the same. The U. S. Treasurer's statement shows the amount subject to his draft in the different depositories on the 23d July, t be $3,422,086 42. Of this amount, there wasat Boston $209,882 58; New York, 715,057 29; Philadi Iphia, $92,723 91, Washington, $164,212 35; Baltimore, $23,667; U. S. .Mint, Philadelphia, $2 ;,8i0; Branch Mint, Dahlonega, Ga., $26,850; Branch Mint, N. Orleans, -79,421 95. O The U. S. steamer Allegheny, under the command of Lieut. William W. flu titer, arrived off this city on Tuesday evening, from a cruise on the Brazil and River La Platte etations, and last, from the Mediterranean. Her passage was made in twenty-four running days from Gibralter, touching at Madeira and the Bermudas the first American man-of-war that has ever visited that important group of i.-dands, almost in view of oiir coist. She marie the run from Gibralter to Madeira, distance 640 miles, in three days; from Madeira to Bermuda, 2,450 miles, in seventeen days; and from Bermuda to Cape Henry, 670 mi!es, in four das; performing a distance 3,760 miles in the above-named time, averaging over 15 miles a day, and announcing her own arrival at Washington. Her cruise has been a most active one, and hr properties as a steamer and sailer have been rigidly and successfully tes-t ed in all weathers. The experiment of this mode I of propelling war-steamers has, in the Alleghe- ! ny, passed through such an ordeal as to give graj ti yaig assurance of its entire success. The j oScers and crew are all well, j Nat. Intel!., Aug. 2. I From New Orleans. The trial of the Spani ish Consul for the abduction of Juan Rey, was I progressing on the 31st ult. A witness testified 1 that the Consul, several weeks previous to the ' abduction cf the boy, seat for him, the witness, j and proposed to pay him well if he would seize ! Key, and put him on board the vessel bound for tiavana. Uthers a!so tet,:intra mat a person, oelieved to be Rey, was brought on board the ; schooner drunk, and she immediately sailed. The I evidence against the Consul is very strong. Tne city continues remarkably healthy. The ! deaths for the weekending on Saturday the 28th were only sixty-six, two of which were from j cholera. ; The bales of Cotton on the 30th amounted to j lhree hundred bals, at firm pricea.

FROM NEW ORLEANS. Case of Capt. Bradley Arrest of Capt McConnell Serious charge Markets, ecc. New Orleans, July 29. A motion for a new trial in the case of Capt. Bradley, for the murder of Fanny YouDg, has been overruled. Sentence will be passed on Saturday next. The schooner Mary Ellen, Capt. McConnell, onboard of which vessel young Rey was akea, has arrived here from Havana. Nothing has been ascertainei as to his fate. The captain has been arrested and released on bail. The clerk of the U. S. Quartermaster's office has been arrested on a charge of robbing goods from the government warehouse, to the amount of forty thousand dollars. Major General Brooke has arrived here from San Antonia, to take command of the Western Division, in the place of the late Major General Gaines. Yesterday, 350 bales of cotton were gold at full prices good middling at 9; fair t0 to 11. The stock on hand is 16,151 bales, against 58,650 last year at the same period. The market is bare of lot? in first hands.

FROM TEXAS MORE INDIAN OUTRAGES. Baltimore, Aug. 1. The steamer Portland arrived at New Orleans on the 29tb, bringing dates from Texas to the 19th. A gentleman from Gila River contradicts the reports of gold being found there. He met a company of U. S. troops on their way to El Passo. All well. The Texas papers abound with the usual number of murders and outrages. A party of Indians attacked a train of U. S. wagons between Bexar and Eagle Pass, killing thirteen teamsters, and capturing all the mules and wagons. Another party cf Indians attacked some Mustangers, near San Petricio, killing two men, and capturing three hundred mules and horses. Mr. Russell, who was wounded in a recent Indian outbreak, has had his arm amputated. Lieut. Walker's Rangers are stationed at San Petrico. The Mexicans anticipate a general Indian war. The cholera is raging at Fredericksburgh, Texas. Thirty persons have already died. The Texas crops promise well, although there has been more rain than necessary. The weather in New Orleans continues fine' and the health of the city is good. MORE INDIAN MURDERS IN FLORIDA. Six Hundred Seminole Warriors in the Field. Charlestown, Aug. 1. A slip has just been received here from Savannah, Georgia,, dated July 28, which states that further outbreaks among the Indians had taken place at Charlotte' harbor on the Gulf. It was nearly simultaneous with the outbreak on Indian river. Indeed, so near that the expresses from the East and West met on their way to Tampa. It appears fifteen Indians went into Mr. Kennedy's store, Charlotte's harbor, under the pretext of buying goods. They attacked the persons in the store, killing the clerk and another man, and wounding several men and women. Mr Kennedy was absent at the time. The Indians then plundered the store and burned it. Two military companies have been sent from Tampa to Charlotte's Harbor, for the protection of the inhabitants and their property. The whites have almost entiiely deserted the frontier, and great alarm prevails among them. They are fleeing to places of safety, leaving their homes and their crops to be destroyed by the Indians. The Indians evidently contemplate another desparate war. They first fdgaed friendship, and then turned traitors. It is supposed that there are now six hundred Indian warriors la the field. Gen. Riley Governor of California. The New York Tribune thus explains the reasons why Gen. Riley acts as quasi Governor of California: "Some enquiry has arisen, since the arrival of the Creseeut City, on account of the intelligence that Gen. Riley is the acting Goveenor of California, and not Gen. P. F. Smith, as was previously supposed by most people. It seems that Maj. Gen. Smith commands the whole Pacific Military Pivision, which includes Oregon. Brig. Gen. Riley commands in the District of California, and, being such, exercises the functions of civil Governor, as he states in his proclamation which we published last Saturday, by virtue of the Mexican las and the instructions from the War Department. Gen. Smith's office is merely a military one, while that of Geu. Riley though he is inferior to Gen. S. in military rank is civil also. In that civil capacity we understand him to be independent of Gen. S. and responsible directly to the authorities at Washington.'' O Why is a lady getting married in an error?

As to the widows, friend Shaw, they are re-pair-ei, as all errors ought to be, as soon as possible. Phila. Sun. Sure.

THE WIDOW. BY C.N2 WHO KNOWS. A widow is a dangerous thing, With soft, black, shining curls, And looketh more bewitching Than a host of romping girls; Her laugh is so delicious So knowing, clear besides, You'd never dream her thinking Soon to become a bride. Her dress, though made of sables, Gives roundness to her form A touch of something thoughtful, A witching, winning charm; And when she sits down beside you, With quiet and easy grace, A tear may fall unbidden, Or a smile light up her face. Her voice is soft melodious And lute-like in its tone; She sometimes sighs " 'tis dreadful To pass through life alone. ' And she'll tell you, you remind her Of the loved one, dead and gone; Your step, your form, your features; Thus the widow will run on. Oh! listen, yet be careful, For well she plays her part, And her lips distil the nectar, That doth enslave the heart. Be guarded, or she'll win you With sighs, and smiles, and tears, I'faith she'll wear the breeches, too, And box your silly ears. A Sickening Sight. The following description, says the Baltimore Argus, of the brutal hanging of three negroes in Charleston, the other day, for running away from the work-house, a place in which slaves are confined, starved, and whipped, not like the servants of men, but like the victims of inhuman monsters, whose highest joy is derived from the torture of human flesh, we take from the North Carolinian: "The three ringleaders of the revolt were hung, and two more were in durance vile. They hung those fellows on the yard arm principle used in the navy, instead of the usual method by a drop. It made quick work of them. A four hundred pound weight at one end of a cord run through a pulley, and the culprit at the other end on the ground, was jerked by the falling of the weight, from terra firma, into mid air, in the twinkling of an eye. As the poor devil twirled round with outstretched legs, and a ghastly grin on his contorted countenance, a wicked wag hinted something about dancing the Polka on nothing. As the corpses were cut down, they were laid under the gallows, that each as he came up, might see the bitter and asonizins fruits of disobedience and rebellion Their bodies were transferred to the medical hospital for dissection. The city guard was out to preserve order, and showed a praiseworthy discipline and accuracy of drill. Gas for Streets from a New Substance. Two French chemists, in Paris, Messrs. Livenais and Berhardt, have ascertained that the decomposition of grape skins after the last pressing and the lees of wine, disengages a carbonated hydrogen gas of superior quality. A pound of dried grape skins, placed in a white-hot retort, furnished, in less than seven minutes, 350 quarts of excellent carbonated harogn gas. The gas burns with a brillisnt while flame, is without odor, and emits little 6inoke, in comparison with that produced from pit coal and rosin. An experiment with the dried dregs of wine was equally satisfactory.

A Yankee Answer. A wager was laid on the Yankee peculiarity of answering one question by asking another. To decide the bet, a down Easter was interrogatad: "I want you," says the bettor, "to give me a straightforward answer to a plain question." "I kin du it mistrr," said the Yankee. "Then, why is it that New F.nglanders always answer a question by asking one in return?" "Du they?" was Jonathan's reply. "Whit are you doing here'" a?ked a gentleman of a fellow who, for his divers offences against his Majesty, the Law, had been consigned to his apartment in the "lock up," Friday night "What am I doin' here, eh?" answered the unfortunate chap, "why I'm keepin fast day." "So it appears," returned the gentleman; "you have chosen an excellent place for mortifying the flesh." "Well, every man to his likin," repponded the sage victim of the law, "some like to fast, but I, my dear Bir, as you see, prefer to be fast-ened." Choose a wife as you would a farm not for showy buildings and fences, but for intrinsic goodness cf toil. The success of individuals in life is greatly owing to their learning early to depend upon their own resources. The keenest abuse of our enemies will not hurt us so much, in the estimation of the discerning, as the injudicious praise of our friends. However harsh and unromantic it may seem, the best plan is not to exhaust, by too much familiarity or over frequent presence, the affection of those whom we would love, oj whom we would have to love us.

The inveterate walked into a hardware store and enquired if they kept all kinds of nails. "Oh, yes," repled the accommodating-, dealer, "what kind will you have, sir?" "Welf,I'll take five or six pounds of too Bails." He was about to receive the toe of a boot, when he decamped. "Do you keep matches here?" asked a wag of a retailer. "Oh, yes all kinds," was the reply. "Then I'll take a trotting match." About that time there was a trotting match between the counter and the door. The Globe announces, that the managers of tha Western Art Union have opened negotiationswith Mr Robb, of New Orleans, for the purchase of his copy of Powers' Greek Slave, and states that there is every reasonable degree of probability that they will be successful.
