THE PILOT.

PLYMOUTH, INDIANA. The "highest price will be paid for RAGS cotton and linen, if delivered at this -office immediately. Mr. James Brewer who was committed to jail in this place, some two months since on a charge of stealing a suit of clothes, was taken out last evening on a writ of habeas corpus, and set at liberty. "Godeys Lady's Book" for November has been received. Among the the numerous' engravings are two beautiful mezzo tin'.; representing Good Counsel' and" "Ex il Counsel' done by the most celebrated engraver of that style in Philadelphia. Now is the lime to subFcribe for this beautiful magazine. Terms 83 per annum. Address L. A. Godey, 113 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. "Graham's Magazine" for November is decidedly the rival magazine of the month. The splendor of its embellishments cannot be surpassed. If anv of our subscribers, and the ladies in particular desire .& delightful companion to accompany them through the long and weary winter evenings they should subscribe immediately. Terms $3 per annum. Address G. R. Graham, 134 Chcstr.ut street, Philadelphia. "Peterson's Magazine' for November contains five embellishments, among which are the "Bloomer Fashions" for November. Terms $2 per annum. Address C. J. Peterson, 93 Chestnut st. Philadelphia. The result of the last election in Ohio for Senators and Itepresentativcs are For Senators 21 Democrats and 8 Whigs. For Representatives 53 Democrats and 25 Whigs. Gov, Wright has appointed Thursday, the 27th day of November next as a day of public Thanksgiving and recommends its observance by the people of the State of Indiana. Howell Cobb has been elected Governor of Georgia by a large majority. Mr. Cobb was the Union candidate. Altho' a democrat, and the democratic Speaker of the last House of Representatives, he was voted for by the Whigs of Georgia solely as a Union man. Party lines were broken down in the election. The question was shall the compromise measures be sustained, and the Union preserved. This question has been decided in the right manner by the people of Georgia. They have proved their strong attachment to the Union, and have made a sacrifice which should be properly appreciated at the north. They have made this sacrifice for the sake of good order and quiet, and have taught a practical lesson of forbearance to northern agitators. Constitution. The last newspaper tolerated in Virginia was in 1780; the subscription pricewas in 1780; the subscription price was $50 per annum for one copy; advertisements of moderate length were, inserted for ten dollars the first week, and $7 for each week succeeding. Pennsylvania Election. - That the Democracy of the "Old Key Stone" have elected their Governor by a large and decisive majority, is placed beyond a doubt. The talented Bigler is elected over Johnson, his opponent, by an overwhelming majority. The latter, by his cold indifference to the commission of treason, in the matter of the "Christiana outrage,' when it was in his power to avert it, at least to some extent, has rendered him infamous? in the eyes of Pennsylvanians. The rebuke he has sustained at the polls is as just as it is severe. Thanks to the Democracy of the gallant 'Old Key Stone." Bigler's majority is prabably not less than ten thousand. Ohio Election. The noble "Buckeye State" has come out of the contest with honor to herself. The Democracy have swept everything before them; Wood is elected Governor by a heavy majority. The elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania, were fought upon National grounds. The question really was, "Compromise, or higher law," "Union or disunion." The friends of the Union in both States have achieved a victory worthy of themselves; they have administered a scathing rebuke to Wm. H. Seward and his coasjutors, from which, we believe, they never can recover. -- Cassapolis Democrat.

. Of the prisoners who were shipped from Havana to Spain, seven were printers. The list of, the" poor fellows, giving names, residence, ages, etc, show that the. average ages would not exceed 25 years. Some of them arc boys of 16 and 19 years.

Upwards of 100,000 tons of pressed hay, valued at more than a million of dollars, is annually exported from Maine. A move is on foot in New York city to raise 8100,000 for Kossuth and his unfortunate companions. There are twenty-one newspapers published in Californiaone religious, eight political, and twelve neutral, or nomtnallv such. The Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, in a letter says: "Two years since I describe! for an American paper the self-moving carriage J of M. Trovost. Since that time M. Provost has traveled in it over a great par', , of France, visiting Tours, Siuiur Or- i leans, Chatres, Havre o: other places. ! He is now in P;fi3 on his way to Bor-! ueauT. lie travels with case to himself, for the force is not the muscular strength applied to pedals or cranks, but the weight of his person which puts in movement the machinery, on much the same principle of a clock. On ordinary roads, (they are McAdamized in France,) M. Provost travels from sixty to eighty miles a day. The carriage is about six feet by three, and the machinery not visible from the outside. Consul Owen has at length been recalled by the President. It is said that the delay in removing him at once, arose simply from the necessity of the Government receiving an authentic official account of his conduct. The President was determined from the first, to remove him! if official information confirmed the newspaper reports of his procedure, and in doing so, he has carried out the universal s:ntiment of the whole American people. This shows the feeling of amity among Americans, They have just sympathy for their ftllow-men in distress, let them be found anywhere, orunler any circumstances, and the consul or minister who does not carry out this national feeling, is not a fit representative of the Americans in any foreign land. Consul Owen might not have been able t5 do anything foT the relief of the Cuban prisoners, but he might generously as an individual, as an American citizen, have showed them that in their great misfortune they had his sympathy. The general execration which has fjllrn upon his head will be a lesson to all such men hereafter, if we should ever again be so unfortunate as to have so miserable a Representative of American nobleness and generosity in a foreign land. Cin. Nonp. A mechanic of New York city assert? that he has made an article which, entircly supercedes the common glue in th ! uses to which it has been appropriated, j IT . IT- I. . T . a 1! :.it 1 I says it is in a liquid state, and will keep ?0 in any climate; it is impervious to heat or water; is always ready for use, requiring no fire in its preparation; it will cement iron, stone, wood, glass, china, or any metallic or mineral substance. As a paste or gum it stands unequalled, and withal it is 20 per cent, cheaper than the article now in use. Pennsylvania Elections. Tioga Co. j gives Bigler 570 majority; Black, demo erat, is elected to the Legislature. Northampton county, official, Bigler 4,150, Johnson 227, Campbell but 43 votes below Black. Columbia county, Bigler 2,031, Johnson 1,024; Campbell 150 below Black. Schuylkill county, officiul, Bigler 4,743, Johnson 4,069. Lehigh county. Bigler 3,302, Johnson 3.015. Montour county, Bigler 1.3S4, Johnson 856. Mifflin county, Bigler 260 majority. Clinton county, Bigler 1.2CG, Johnson 051. . In Philadelphia county, Hamilton, native, is elected by 126 majority over Jackson, democrat, which, with the whig Senator in the Dauphin and Northumberland district, gives the Senate to the wliigs. The natives elect five members to the Legislature, the democratssix, and the natives elect all the county officers, except coroner. For the supreme court, Coulter, the highest on the whig ticket, leads Campbell, the lowest on the demo, cratic ticket, 0,747, and leads the highest on the democratic ticket C.120. Persons sending letters to California bhould use no sealing wax. In passing through the tropics the wax is invariably

melted so as to destroy all semblance to a seal, and not unfreq'ttently so as to adhere to the letter beneath it, and cause the injury or destruction of the address in separating the two. The postmaster general therefore recommends to all persons having correspondence with California and other parts of the coast of the Pacific Ocean, to discontinue the use of wax in sealing their letters or other papers.

Four cotton mills are in operation at Columbus,. Ga., with a capital of $360,000. They employ 5G0 hands. In these mills are 14.G30 spindles, and nearly 400 looms. Another cotton mill has recently been completed, intended to be worked byslav.-s, and which" is said to be much larger thin either of the other four; bu it has not yet gone into opera'.ionv There are also in Columbus nd Us immediate vicinity a cotton gii manufactory, which tinns On Z-J gins ahnua'ly, a very exis'lrC flouring mill, and two foundries and nuchiue shops. List week there were 400 Indians out at Kice Lake, gathering cranberries, which they sell to the traders. They had gathered about 2ÖQ barrels, when one of their medicine men dreamed that some of them were to be killed by Chippewas within two days. This so alarmed the red skins that they made tracks for the Sioux country, and refused to return, to the great annoyance and discomfiture of the traders. Min. Dem. w After Queen Victoria cam; to the throne, a present was sent her from Jerusalem of an olire tree. It was shipped at Beyrout, kept on deck, and appeared to die on the passage. In that state it was entrusted to the gardener. On the week in which her Mijesty was crowned, the Bristol Mercury stated that, on the day of the coronation, this olive tree put forth 12 blossoms. From this incident it is thought that the 12 tribes of Israel will be gathered in Victoria's reign. Some who are less theological and more finealogical infer she will have 12 children. The Charleston Mercury, in announcing the result of the Georgia ele"ction, savs: We are at once compelled tq act; and for the time being, isolated in action. One by one, the Southern States have arrayed themselves under the flag of Submission. The most extravagantly hopeful man can now expect nothing from them. Co-operation is, as far as the past is concerned, a mere name, end its leaders must feel a strong disposition to laugh in the face of any one who takes it for anything else. A man named John M. Bennett, in Ripley county, in this State, is to be hung on the 5th of December next, for the murder of Wm. Maddox by administering him arsenic while professing friendship. After effecting the deed, he prostituted the wife of his victim. An exchange says that an extraordinary instance of activity was displayed lately in the Manufactory of Mme. Veuve Philippart Moulin, at Tournai. A sheep was sheared, and the wool washed, carded, spun, dyed, and manufactured into stockings, socks, mittins, cVc. between five o'clock in the morning and half past two in the afternoon, at which hour the articles were packed up, and forwarded to the commission of the provincial exhibition at Möns. Quick work, that. Six quarts of charcoal, freshly burned and finely pulverised, and put into a cistern of the capacity of fifteen hogsheads, will make the water perfectly sweet at any time. It is well worth the trial. Emigration westward has commenced very strongly this fall. From 50 to 100 wagons, bound for the Frairics, pass thro' Indianapolis daily. An exchange recommends that when traveling you put your watch and wallet at night into one of your stockings, and then place the stocking under your head. It will then be impossible to leave them behind you unless you have been accustomed to go barefoot. A temple for pagan worship has been opened at San Francisco, by the Chinese. This is the first idol temple, we believe, that has been erected in this country, nor can we discover any thing alarming about it. Great preparations arc being made in New York for the reception of Kossuth. One of the brightest days to which we look forw?rd is the day on which wc shall east our eye on juis Kossuth.

' EAPOLOGY. Mn. Editor: Having a leisure moment and being asked freq jently, what I think about the Rappers that are now holding forth in Plymouth, wlflt they are, 6cc. My object in, this short epistle will not be so much to say what I think they are, as what I tnink they are not. If I amcorrectly informed, they purport to be the spirits of those that have died, and are gratifying many of our citizens with communications, (as they say) from the Spirit Land. It must be. very consoling to those who have formerly believed, that the wicked are to suffer endless torment, to learn by these spiritual rappers that after death nil are happy all in a state of feiicitv, and it is certainly very gratifying to have the privilege of conversing with those we once ovel and were familiar with here, but have been lorn away from us by disease or otherwise and when we had consigned them to the narrow limits of the grave, we thought our intercourse with them had come to a close until after the resurrection of the dead. 1 have thought of late (if these rappers are whit they purport to be,) that Plymouth is a favored village, we can get news from the spirit land learn how long we are to live, and when our friemlsare on a journey when thy will return. We also have a telegraph office, from which we can send, or receive news from almost any part of the United States. These are facilities in the news line that every village cannot boast of. It would seem that Plymouth is destined to be a gieat place. Her course is onward. My individual opinion about the rappers, is that they are not the spirits of deceased persons. Reason teaches that men after they die are decomposed moulder back to the earth again. Th;; rappers teach, (if I am correctly inform vl) that mankind are in possession of immortality, bafore death that the dead have knowledge that all are happy after death. I understand the Bible to teach, that nun is mortal, tint it teaches imnkind, to seek for immortality. It also represents man as a mortal and corruptible being, and under the sentence of death, and were it not for the resurrection of the. dead, death would be an eternal sleep, I understand also, that the Bible teaches, that the ''Dead know not any tiling;" "that there is no knowledge in the grave (or slate of the dead;") "their thoughts, love, an I hatred haw perished." The Bible also teaches that the wicked shall be destroyed with everlasting destruction, &C. These are some of the reasons which causes me to think, that the. rappers are not what they purport to be. If I 'have misrepresented their teachings, 1 will retract, when convinced. My present impressions are (from the liht 1 h ive) that the whole concern is a humbug. IIOOSIER. THE SPANISH DANDER UP. Our only apprehension in presenting our readers with the translation given below is, that they will injure themselves by immodetate laughter. The iutlated furious style of the original loses much of its ludicrousness. however, when translated into stiffer and more earnest AngloSaxon. Only those who are acquainted with the language of the renowned and valorous Dan Quixotte can fully enjoy the bravado of modern Spanish chivalry. It is truly terrible in its th reats and dc uunciations. If we were a people of weak nerves and coward hearts we would shake with fear instead of laughter over the fearful threats hurled against us by Don Quixotte's countrymen. The article from the Madrid Observer, is but an echo of the articles which appear in other Madrid papers such us El Ileraldo, La Espana, Li Nacion, La Epoca, La Orden, &c: From the Madrid Observer, Sept. 19, '51. We cannot for one moment withdraw our thoughts from Cuba. Spaniards as we are, lovers of the prosperity of our country, enthusiasts for the honor of our flag, always respected, and for a long time feared by foreign nation, the thought of what is happening in one of our richest colonies, the remembrance of the depredation and piracy attempted agiinst her by a neighboring and allied nation, lir-s our blood, inflames our heart, excites against that people all the sentiments of our soul. The Observer's evil passions set: in to be excited, not the generous sentiments. No longer is ilu-re doubt. The North American confederation, which for a long time has coveted the possession of Cuba; which within a year Ins sent her hordes of fillibuiters, and recently has just sent tome of her most villainous children to sack hert not yet satisfied with all these acts of Vandalism and rapacity, intends now to consummate their rrsjug t nmasse against our precious Antilla, trampling upon our arms, and attempting against the inviolability of one of our diplomatic agents, under pretext of avenging the fate of some of their countrymen, who have just expiated in Havana, their crimes, with their blood. No longer is there doubt. The republic of Washington, breaking the law of nations, breaking the faith of treaties, breaking all the riht of humanity and civilisation, of which she brags so much, aims, brazen-facedly to the possession of the "eland of Cuba. The. republic of Washington does not spare any means, however barbarou?, to attain her object. The republic of Washington declares herself openly our enemy, after 1 !s!te Ins become Mich in a fwrdly nnd jrapacicur manner. HV thtrrfcr;, ere

No more delays. We have nothing ; to expect from the ambitious children of! Washington. Xo satisfaction is sufficient to wash out the insult that has been done to our nationality by the aggressions in Cuba; and the out rage committed on our flag in the person of our Consul at New Orleans. We cannot be contented with notes and explanations which would not restore the blood of our brethren shed in Bjya Honda. The ofence has been bloody, and bloody must be the repartion and vengeance. A gen- ! eral cry has been raised in Spain against the savage sympathizers of Lopez an. I his banditti. That cry is Wae ind Exter-

War, then, against that race vof pirates, who aim at the dominion of the whole territory of the New World. IVur against these avaricious traders, who aim to snatch Cuba from us. War Extermination and Butchery! against these ungrateful cowards, who have traitorously endeavored to- wound the generous heart of Spain. No more tolerance; no more doubt; no useless vascillations. We present to the consideration of our government the following propositions: That war be officially declared against the Republic of Washington. Tint our diplomatic agents be recalled from th ? Uiiited Sutes. Tint passports be given to the American Ambassadors. That all Spanish vessels be armed us privateers, and that letters of marque be granted to those of other nations who desire them. That the people will rise as on mm and ofifer to the Gowrnmeut the support of their resources and their arms.

The barrel was nearly full, and the joung rascal maintained his position with great perseverence. although he was up to his rheck in syll. At the usual time the man employed to pimply the barrels, made his appearance, ami seeing the lid down supposed it was full. He accordingly carried it out with the others and placing it on his cart drove o the upper part of ihe cily. Upon raising the lid of this barrel, the young rascal sprung up suddenly, frightened the carman to such a degree that he ran off. In the mean time Andrews got out of the barrel, and before the return of the driver, he had made himself scarce, until Friday when he was again captured, and the next day taken back to his place of confinement. N. T. Sun. MORE ABOUT THE LATE CONSUL AT HAVANA. The following is an extract of a letter from Capt. It. M. Ellis, of Washington City, who was a Captain in the ill-fated expedition to Cuba. Capt. Ellis; wilh whom we have a personal acquaintance, is a gentleman of character and standing, and we have no doubt the letter states the facts as they occurred. Consul Owen has been removed by the administration. He will return to Georgia where he lias hosts of friends, and will no doubt undertake to justify bis conduct under Iiis instructions from the administration. Mr. Owen is a gentleman in his deportment, but is exceedingly timid and fearful of responsibility, and his fear of giving offence to the administration was no doubt the cause of his strange conduct. His removal is but the begining of this question, and mark our prediction if in the end Mr. Owen docs not show that his instructions were, of the most stringent character. V c rowever, refer to the lol-

are treated in the kindest and most gen-

tlemanly manner by the svrgeous and students. Of our consul, here, I have, nothing to sav; he came once to the prison, for some ten minutes, and insultingly told 150 men, who were in chains, that the proctarnation of the President prevented him from doing anything for us. In the hour j of need came, a frienJ, like a ministering . angel fiom Heaven Mr.- V . Sidney Smith visited us every day; he is secretary to the British consul general. What a rebuke to our consul was his conduct! He never came empty handed, nor with mere icords of comfort; but cloths, segars, money, and many other articles were brought in abundance. Our consul had refused us books or papers; Mr. Smith furnished both American papers at tha.i so that we could read, with pleasure, the account of the meetings, &c, held in the States. God bless that vcung man! wouui permit, every miug in naiana would be at my service. Ihrough his influen'-e many American gentleman, who had before applied in vain, gained admittance to see us. They, wilh Mr. Smith, raised 81 .700 for the relief of those eilt to Spain. Slate Sentinel. NEW MEXICO. Julge Mower formerly of Michigan now one of the United States Judges in this Territory in a letter to a friend thus describes this country. 'There is wealth in this country: But the truth is, tint, what with the many revolutions New Mexico has survived, and the incursions of the Indians, the population and resources of the country have mu.li diminished, though the mineral and oih-.T resources have never been thoroughly explored.

A distressing occurrence took place in Itoston on 20th iust. A man. named Thomas Davis, residing on Che$ty.ut st. murdered his sister, a beautiful ac.d prepossessing girl, aged 2Z years, by cutting her throat aud afterwards tearing oyt her windpipe. He was laboring uuder. a fit of delirium tremens. The cause is $id tq have b'eu owing to his opposition to her contemplated marriage. Dd'i$ had lately returned from California.' lt U&S been arrested. Taylor Murphy, under sentence of death, whs executed at Cainpbeltsville, Ky., on Wednesday last, lie was convicted of the murder of his wife some time since of having struck her down and afterward burning her remains upon the hearth 'of his own house, for which he paid the death penalty. He wrote out a confession before his death, in which he confessed lo the murder of his wife, also to having murdeieil peven of his own infant children. Hanging is a fit ending for such a career of crime. Lovisvill Democrat. In all parts of Canada the cropa, this season, are more plentiful than any that: have been hitherto gathered in tha.t country.
