itockvim, Off. 9,it:ii. We last week, inadvertantly left out the name of Capt. S. II. Johnson, who was considered, and previously anounced as a candidate for Major. An impressoin 6cems to have become general, from this occurrence, that he had declined being a candidate -such however, is not the fact, and we hope this neglect of duty on oui part may not be so construed a? to have any efiect prejudicial to his election. NOMINATION OF PRESIDENT, The Anti-Masonic Convention held in Baltimore on the 29th of September, have nominated the Hon. Wilmvm Wirt, of Maryland, for the Presidency and Amos Et.tMVKEit, of Pennsylvania, (or Vice-President. The following, is a short extract from the communication of M- Wirt to the Con. rention, after being informed cf his nomination, by the Committee nppontto communicate to him the proceedings of the convent ion. "I have repeatedly, and eon' inually, both in conversation and letters ef friendship, spoken o(Msonry oni A .VJlafonry as a fitter subject lor farro than tragedy, and have hern grieved at seeing some of aiv friends involved in what appeared to me such a ilJj, ina outer ana u:jist persemn ,--n afiinstso harmless ar institution n Free lasonrj-. 1 have laon-i'it. and repeatedly said that I considered U.inry as having no moo to do with pities than any one ofthe numerous cl lbs go humorously celebrated in Tbe. Spe i(ilor and that with regard to the crime in Morgan's case, it was quite as unjust to charge that on Maonry as it would be to charge the private delinquencies of some professing Christians on Christianity itself." Mr. Wirt, like Mr. Hush, had been initiated into the mysteries of Tree (Masonry, yet he has not followed in the wake of Rush in endeavoring to make the abduction of Morgan such a Zhur D an Mr. Ellmaker, in his communica tion to the Convention, says; "I know well, my humble preten tions to be a Candidate for that high like. But a zealous nnd firm attach ment to the cause of Anli-Manry wilt not permit a refusal of the nomin ation. I therefore accent it.M The Commitlc consisted of Mr. Rutherford of New Jersey. Mr. Sloan of Ohio, and Mr. Elder of Pcnnsvlva 03-FALSE ALAUM-co The greatest exilement has been created among our citizens, during the past week, by a rumor ofthe death of Gen. JACKSON The report, for a while, bore traits of plausibility, and the most Incredulous were induced almost to give full credence to it. The President however, was not dead, as the rumor asserted, yet the correct intelligence from Washington City stales that he was dangenuwly ill. WABASH. The Wabash River has. f ir several days, been in fine order for Si earn Boat navigation. The more w e n fleet upon the propriety of improving the navigation of of this noble stream, the grenter its importance appears. We hope our Representatives in the several Councils in which this subjecs may be brought forward for deliberation, will not he found sierping at their posts, and carelessly suffer our greatest Interest to be lost and that too, at the peril of (heir "sacred honor." -o::: ::oFOREIGN NEWS. Wc have labored assiduously, to keep pace, with the news ofthe day from Europe we have nothing this week l ite or Interesting; affairs wear not that warlike feature that was so perceptible but a short time since, yet we doubt not, that "Like mountain waves, they retire, But more awful to rotum.' " Much has yet to be effected by treaty ar conquest e're universal peace can Seasonably be look od for.

paper useful, have not been altogether unfruitful. If a continuation of the same principle, upon which the Herald has heretofore been conducted, will insure that liberal support which it has thus far received, we pledge ourselves it shall he given it. The coming sessions of the Sta'e and National Legis latures, are "big with events,' and the rapiditv with which intelligence is con veyed through the transportation of the mail, will enable us to lay before our readers their proceedings bearing the latest dates, and from the most uotl.cntic sources. In our State legislature, the Canal question, and the improve mcntofthe Navigation ofthe Rivei Wabash, arc subjects winch greatl) involve the interests ofthe, citizens ol the Wabash country particularly, and ofthe State generally; while, at the same time we are no less interested in the deliberations of Congress upon ma nvsubierts of imnorance, in which v l the future welfare ofthe State of lndi ana his much at stake. The Taritl' will doubtless, meet with a heavy assatlt from the Nullificrs ofthe South nd Internal Improvements, the greal source of National wealth and great r,ess,wl,u;h ha already made America the csnnvde of tbe world, and nnrival . jj., t;, ilstorv of nitO'V. will also it i with a powerful opposition al j of which r.annntfail to excite a lively interest in the br? st of every citizen whose greatest nnVntion is to sustait a:.i increase the exalted character 01 lis happy country. KING LEOPOiA). The present King of lMgium ap plied for the situation of Aid-de-('ani) to ISapoleon, niiicii was. refused rum. That refusal decided Ins destiny. No doubt he was sulticicntlv chagrined at the lime, little dreaming that the career he should he driven into by this rejec tion of Ins petition, was the road to a throne. "Nat. Intel. What is LifiA There is eloquence of thought as well as of Ungual in the following paragraph from Amott s Llaments of Physic: "The functions by which the animal body assumes foreign matter from a round, and converts them into its own subance, is little inviting in some of its details; but taken altogether is one ofthe most wonderful subjects which can ensues the human attention. If points directly to the curious and yet unanswered question what is l.tFt:?The student of nature may analyze with all his art those . minute portions of matter calbd swh and ova which he knows to be the rudiments of future creatures, and the links by which end loss generations of living creatures tiang to existence: but be cannot dis entangle and display apart their mysterious Ufa? that something under the influence of which each little germ in due time swells out to fill an invisible nwihl of maturity which det6r mines its forms and prbportinns. One such substance thus become a br.iufraus rose busb; another a noble oak; a th'nd a-i eagle; a fourth an elephant ; yea, In the same way, out ofthe uid ina'enals of broken seeds anil rro's, and leaves of plants, and biles ef animal flesh, is built up the human fr.ine 1'solf. whether ofthe active male cemhinirir graceful?? with strength r cf the rentier women, with beauty around her as ligh.

As the season of musquetocs has arrived, it may -not be ami -s to give some direc tions flow to got rid ol the annoyance of those troublesome varnmnh. It is well known that these animals are provided with a very lo. g beak or proboscis. When therefore, they approach you as they always do, head foremost, seize them by the proboscis, wind it round your hand to prevent any slip, and then dash them against the bed nojt, w indow-casing or any other objcci until you nave lainy neaien me. A . 1 I i At breath out of their bodies; when tliey will trouble you no more. Or If you are opposed to taking life, having wound the proboscis round your hand as aforesaid, you may set your foot firmly on the body of the vnrmunt, and with a smart pull deprive him of bis beak; after which, for all the purpose of blood sucking, he is ut terly harmless. As however, he may possibly gotosome manufactory in the neighbourhood and supply lnmelf witl a new proboscis, the most prudent way u. doubtedly is, to beat the bream ou i I t 1 oi ins nody, wiicn you nave ncc caught him. To some persons however who have "no music in their soul" the noise ofthe musqitto is more disagree able than bis bite. To such it may be well to observe, that the musuefo has a sort of musical instrument, resembling a bag-pipe, which he carries under his left ving we arc pretty positive it is the left One on tins subject however. wc would recommend the reader to consult the third volume of Humbug's FiUtomology, which is very clear on this point. Rut, to resume- if you merily wish to get rid ofthe music, it is onlj necessary to deprive the musqueto of his bag-pipe and his music is done. We hope the above simple methods may be of service to the lovers of qui et, in which case we shall feci ourselves amply rewarded for laying them before the world. Cohfclaiion, Pan Gaming oiwcs.
