Saturday Morning, July

Whif Fxtrnvagmice.

It appears (says the Richmond Whig,) that there will be lome twenty three millions surplus in the Treasury on the 1st of July. This is the prosperous condition a Whig Administration leaves the country in, yet we everlastingly hear Democracy prating over whig extravagance about election times, and telling the dear people that the Whigs are not fit to be entrusted with the public money. When did ever a Democratic Administration leave a surplus in the treasury] On the other hand, they have always left exhausted coffers and an accumulated debt.— Already the organs of the party are setting to work to devise some plan to spend the surplus left by the Whigs. As, the otl*ntible means of making way with it, they propose to plunge the country headlong into another war. The people need give themselves no concern about the disposition of this surplus. A Democratic Administration «an spend it.

FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE.—A case of much importance, and exciting great interest has been under examination at Indianapolis. On the 21st inst. PLEASANT LLLINOTON from Missouri, formerly of Kentucky, commenced proceedings before Esq. Sullivan, U. States Commissioner for Indiana, at Indianapolis, claim* ing John Freeman as his slave. John .Freeman hat lived in Indianapolis for fifteen or sixteen years is a very respectable colored man with a wife and •several children, and possessing properly both real and personal to the amount of soveral thousand dollars.

The case was taken from the Commissioner by habeas corpus before the Hon. Stephen Major, Judge of the 5th Judicial Circuit. Many pleas were filed, and several hearings, attended by large and excited crowds of spectators. After full consideration on the part of Judge Major, the case was remanded back to the Commissioner, where on application of Freeman, at the last hearing the whole matter was postponed for nine weeks in order to give him opportunity «o produce the papers and evidonce of his freedom. The case will no doubt be exciting when it again comes up,

The Weather—It* Ellect«-*CoupdeSolcil.

city for the past four days we have enjoyed cool breesca and a cloudy sky which has relieved us from being oppressed with the excessive heat experienced during nearly all oflaatweek.

•3000 DAMAGES.—The Indianapolis Journal of Thursday says, that Mrs. 1'iuphemia W. Macon, widow of Horace Racon, an employee on tho Madison and Indianapolis Railroad, who was killed by the accident at Pleasant Run near

BEAUTIES—It is said that-ladies of ffiahy cities and towns of Indiana are having their daguerreotypes taken for the purpose of gallery exhibition at the Bute Fair.

Wednesday

and Thursday of last week ranged, during the hottest part of each day, in the shade, at from 94 to 96 degrees of Fahrenheit, and at Washington from 90 to 97. The number of deaths on Wednesday from coup de soldi in New York were 17, in Philadelphia 12, Baltimore 8, Brooklyn 7. On Thursday the number of sun strokes in New York

was

38, of which 20 resulted in death. At Cincinnati uu Monday week last the thermometer stood at 100, and ranged from 88 to 96 "during the week. At Wheeling on the same day, it roso to 88 at Pittsburgh to 90. At Harrisburg, Pa., on Monday and Tuesday of last week the thermometer ranged from 95 to 98 degrees. At Hagerstown, Md., on Monday, the thermometer ranged from 90 to 99, and at Frederick, Md., from 95 to 100 dagrees.

BKASS CLOCKS.—tf a certain individual who got a job done at this office a few days since, and who professes to hail from Grecticastle with Brass Clocks, does not settle his bill, he will find his name and particulars published in the next Courier.

MAYOR'S COURT.—James Arbuckle after two or three hearings before Mayor Edwards has been committed for want of bail. "The charge against Arbuckle was for obtaining goods of a firm in Cincinnti under false prctences, and fat leliers of credit. Aggregate amount of bail $3,600.

The New Y'ork Commercial Advertiser supposes that the charge of adrniss ion to the Crystal Palace will be fifty cents during the rush of the first few weeks, and that it will subsequently be reduccd to twenty-five cents. One of the conditions upon which the New York corporation granted the lease of Reservoir Square to the association for five years, was that no single entrance fee should exceed fifty cents.

RAILROAD BRIDGE.—The T. H. & Alton Railroad Company have commenced operations for their bridge over the Wabash at this place. ~~~~~~~

Charles Island, one of the Gallepngos group, has been bought of the Equador Government by the Mormons, and is to be hereafter the head of that people. The Island Is to be independent of Equador, and will probably be formed into a republic

WEATHER.—Several hot days again, the beginning of this week. A heavy thunder shower, however, on Thursday evening refreshed the country and cooled the air. ~~~~~~~

CLEVELAND AND TERRE HAUTE.—The railroad connection between Cleveland and Terre Haute, via Indianapolis and Union, Ind., and Bellefontaine, O, is now completed.

This day July 2d, a train will go through from Terre Haute to Cleveland by day-light. ~~~~~~~

The Exhibition at the Crystal Palace. The opening ceremonies at the Crystal Palace are expected to take place on the 15th of July. Everything in and about the Palnce betokens that the Directors not only have the determination but the ability to accomplish, within the time limited, the gigantic undertaking they have assumed. The President of the association, Mr.Sedgwick & Mayor Westervclt, have made a special mission to Washington, for the purpose of inviting the President of the United States and the Heads of Departments to be present at the inauguration of the Fair. The Governor of our own and of some of the adjoining States, with the Governor General of Canada and our distinguished English visitors, are also expected to be present, and everything betokens an auspicious opening of the first American exihition of the world's industry.

From a causal glance at the interior arrangement of the building, and of the classification and entry of the articles intended for exibition [sic], we are satisfied that the public have no adequate conception of what will be the extent of the variety, the richness, and the intrinsic value of this great display of industry of all nations which is abont to open in New York. Every available square inch in and about the Palace, and the adjoining building, has been long since appropriated, and more than five hundred applications for admission —many of them of high merit—have been necessarily refused.

The Tower of London brings out from its recesses eight complete suits of ancient armor, manufactured by artisans centuries ago, and some of them going back to the times of Richard Coeur de Lion—each of them, we understand, is of a different age. They will be placed in galleries overlooking the centre of the building, under the dome, which is

to stand Marochetti's celebrated equestrain [sic] statue of Washington.—<N. Y. Tribune>. ~~~~~~~

Cr*B

FOR Tits Bums.—Luther says:

"When I am assailed with heavy tribulations I rush out among my pig* rather than remain alone by myself.— The human heart is like a mill stone in mill when you put wheat under it, it! tuma end grinds and bruises the wheat t« flour if you put no wheatfn, it still grinds on, but then it is itself it grinds and wears away.'* 1

North-Western Commercial Convent* l." tion. The newspaper press of Chicago are at the present time seriously agitating the propriety of holding at an early day a Convention of the Eastern, Middle and

North-Western

States, to take into

consideration their commercial interests, and deliberate upon the measures best calculated to promote, facilitate and direct their development. It is intended to be in some sort, an offset to th# Convention which was recently held at Memphis, and to counteract what influence that movement is likely to have upon Congresif in the location of the route of the projected Pacific Railroad. The suggestion or our Chicago neighbors seems to meet with very general favor from the cities of the North, and will probably receive a like response from New York and Boston. Present appearances indicate that-a Convention of this character will be called during the current season, to meet probably at Chicago orsome other city of the Northern Lakes.—Alton Telegraph.

The motive assigned above for the proposed North-Western Convention grows out of a misapprehension of what was done at the Memphis Convention and we are surprised that such a fact is not apparent to the Alton Telegraph.— The Memphis Convention took no action concerning a Railroad route to the Pacific, which ought not to be entirely acceptable toChicogo. That Convention required nothing more than a commodious route in a tempetate climate. How can we know at this moment that just such a route capnot bo found from Chicago?.*, ,f

In respect to this whole matter of a route to the Pacific, we ventured a day or two ago, to suggest the holding of a Union Convention in this city, as a central and convenient point, for the purpose of concentrating the public sentiment of the Union upon one route.— This rgute need not be designated with vo much precision as to define exactly its termini and intermediate points.— But it is not improbable that some one route could be agreed npon within certain boundaries, so as to narrow the competition fur a preference among routes, and bring Congress to a definite and immediate action upon the whole question of routes.—St. Louts Intelligencer.

MRS. PARTINGTON AND THE SIAMESE TWINS.—Messrs, Chang and Eng— those interesting exotics, from whose land all the golden fountains and talking lauras, and singing-trees that graced our juvenile literature were derived— were much gratified by an introduction to Mrs. Partington, one of whom assured her that he had heard of her in Siam many years ngo but the other did'nt recollect about it. On informing her of their intention to go to Saratoga or Newport tho coming summer, the old dame wondered at the determination. *'How croxyded you will be said she, ••accommodations are so scarce though, I dare say, you could, upon a 'mergency, both sleSp in one bed." The suggestion was a happy one—all the difficulty was removed in an instant—and the dual gentleman smiled a thankee with his four lips, and Mrp. Partington waved a parting benediction to him with her green cotton umbrella, as he disappeared in the crowd.— Boston Postdx\\!$

A NEW RELIOTCUS MOVEMENT.—A very large assembly nf people convened at the old Kennett Meeting House, Chester county, Pa., for the purpose of organizing a new yeorly meeting under the title of "Progressive Ftiends." Muny person, of different sects were present, and the meeting was organized with a unanimity and strength not an ticipated by its most sanguine originators. hs sessions continued until this morning.

The members are mostly from the Hicksitc yeorly meeting at Philadelphia, but the meeting affilates with similar organizations in the State of New York, Ohio and Indiana. All these embrace many persons not out of Quaker descent. The movement is significant and important.—Phila. Ledger.

Marriage Costnmes in England. The present fashion, in England, at marriages, is to have heaps of bridesmaids. Lady Edith Hastings, who was married to Fredrick Clifton, had eleven bridosmaids, all attired in white mu«lin dresses over pink silk, with pink silk bonnets trimmed with white lilac.— Each had a boquet, ornamented with pink ribbons. The bride wore a dress of Iloniton lace over poult de soie, a

has given them all up. The French Minister in Mexico, it seems, wrote to him thai he »vas engagingin a piratical expedition which the world whould condemn, and which would

disgrace him. Boulbon wrote back to the French Minister that he was at the head of an organised force to inrade Sonora, and to protect certain mineral rights and properties there, but he had taken this revenge of Arista's treatment to him. Nevertheless, now as things in Mexico had changed under the

CINCINNATI WBFE9.

Few persons ofitside of the neighbor hood of Cincinnati are kware of the extent of the manufacture of various wines in this vtcjnity. or of iftfir quality or amount of exportation^,. ^Within a eifele of ten miles in diameter from where we now rite, are over three thousand acres appropriated to the culture of the grape, »nd so successful have the growers been. 4»at.ihc "ehampaigne" manufactured from the fftiit of some of our vineyards is^already preferred at the fashionable hotels of New York. Baltimore and Bos ton. tn the French and German article. Indeed, it it not jtn pnusual tiling to see at the most stylfsh Watering-places and public.houses of the East, the names of different brands of American (Cincinnati manufacture) wines on their YbWIs of faro." The day Is close at hand when the importation into this country of white wines from Germany and France will cease altogether. The rapid increase—quadrupling every year of the productions of light wines in this section of the country, in a climate peculiarly favorable to the healthful growth of the choicest grapes, cannot but have a powerful effect in checking the fashionable use of strong drinks, and with joyous satisfaction may now anticipate that but a few years will pass a way before the habits of our young men generally, will be as temperate as those of the European Winegrowing districts, by the use of our native wines, instead of foreign distilled drinks.—Cin. Enq.

The word Tariff" is taken from a fortress which is situated on the Straits of Gibraltar, a promontory, which, from its position, is admirably adapted for commanding the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea, and watchingthe exit and entrance of all ships. It was the custom of the Moors to watch from this point all merchant ships going into or coming out of the Midland Sea, and issuing from this strong-hold, to levy a certain fixed scale of dutr on all merchandize passing in and out of the Straits, and this was called, from the place where it was levied, "tariff and in this way we have acquired the word.

A WHOLE STATE MADE HAPPT.—A Georgia paper, in a burst of gratitude for the appointment of a "young and distinguished son of that respectable State to a chargcsliip, exclaims "The citizens of our whole State, with singular unanimity, and without regard to party, rejoice in this appointment." Our good President hns been much happier in his appointments than others of those un fortunate persons who have possessed su pretne rule, nnd with it the thankless duty of dispensing official patronage. Frederick 2d used to sav that for every appointment he conferred,he made ninety-nine enemies and one ungrateful friend.—National Intdligenter.

The Portland Advertiser soys:—''Tfte motto "Carry tho North by party machinery. and the South by falling in with Southern measures,' suggests a system of tactics, upon which politicians of the Van Buren school are inclined to act. It is to yield every thing but tho spoils—to give up principles, and often times to appear to give up candidates— in order to secure final success in their main object. Many wondered bow the Van Burens could so readily support Peirce. when their several positions before the public wero so antagonistic.— The result has proved that they perfectly understood what they were about.

DEBT OF THE COUNTRY.—Mr. Mansfield writes an elaborate and able article for his Rairload Record, on the debt and credit'of tho United States. The aggregates of his speculations are embodied in the following table

National debt §65.130 691 State debts 202.557,762 Municipal debts 70.000.000 Railroad debts 250.000.000 Mercantile foreign debt 150.000.000 Private domestic debt.930,000,000

Total 81.667,688,453 Of this sum five hundred millions is held abroad, or on foreign account.

SURVIVORS OF THE WAR RI» 1812.—A number of veterans celebrated at Philadelphia, on the 18th inst., the anniversary of the declaration of the war with England, in June, 1812. They adopted resolutions recom mending the survivors of tho war of 1812, annually hereafter, in every State, to celebrate the 18th of June as a general jubilee, and providing for the call of a convention of all who served in the war of 1812, to beheld in the city of Philadelphia on the 8th of January, 1854, to be composed of Delegates from the several States, to decide upon such measures as they shall deem expedient, for reviewing and keeping alive the records of their past history, and doing justice to those who may have claims upon our common country.

SHOOTING.—A man named Joseph Reckenbach, a gardener living en the National Road, two miles east of the city, on last Wednesday night, about 11 o'clock, shot Samuel T. Beard in the lef [sic] arm with a gun loaded with bird shot. About 30 shots were extracted from the arm. Reckenbach says, in justification, that Beard was on his premises for the purpose of stealing his vegetables.— Beard, on the contrary, declares that he was at the well getting a drink of water. Reckenbach was brought by officer Stapp before Justice Sullivan, and gave bond in $1,000, with two sureties for his appearance at Court.—<State Sent>. ~~~~~~~

No TIARC LOST.—It is a remarkable fact, tn illustration of the speed of the Collins line of steamers, that by the lMtrtripf©fthe Par cific to Liverpool, merchants in that city received replies from their Correspondents in New York in the unprecedentedly short space of20 days. The Atlantic which arrived at this port on the morning of the 14th of May, made the trip in 9 days and 22 hours, and some of the commercial advices which she brought were answered by mercantile houses here in time for the Pacific's mails, which left at neon of the same day, .and which made the trip to Liverpool in 9 days and 23 hours. These two passages, hitherward and back, having only consumed togettar 19 days and 20 hours, merchants |n Liverpool were, as we have said, enabled to receive replies to their New York correspondence in 20 days. We believe an instince of the kind has never occurred in the past history of transatlantic steamships. It therefore deserves to be placed on record

"A cunning old Dutchman was a mem ber of the Pennsylvania Legislature some years ago from county. On one occasion he promised a lobby-mem-ber to vote for a certain local measure but when the measure came up, he voted against it, and it was lost. The following colloquy ensued: ''Sir. you promised to vote for my bill. 'Vel,' said the Dutch member, *vat if I did?' •Well, Sir, you voted against it.'

Dr. Ayer: In the month of July last I was attacked by a violent diarrhoea in the mines in California. I returned to San Francisco in hope of receiving benefit from a change of climate and diet. My diarrhoea ceased, but was followed by a severe cough—and much soreness. I finally started for home,but received no benefit from '.he voyage. My cough continue.! to grow worse, and when I arrived in New York, I was at once marked by my acquaintances as a victim of consumption. I must confess that I saw no sufficient reason to doubt what niy friends all believed. At this time I commenced taking your truly invaluable medicine with little expectation of deriving any benefit from its u.-e. ou would not receive these lines did I not regard it my duty to state the afflicted, through you, that my health, in the space ot tight months, is fully restored. I attribute it! to the use of your CHEliR I'ECTORkt.
