R£at Falling Off of Imports and Exports
—The imports at New York from foreign ports dur’
ing the month of February were smaller than for
any previous Febiuiry since the year 1860, not
withstanding the fact that the harbor has been free
of i<, and navigation unencumbered. A state
ment in the Journal o?Commerce shows a decrease
off l(>,JIo,‘IIO as compared with the corresponding
month of .ast year, as compared with
!*•/., and ld'.l as compared with 1860. The
total receipts of foreign goods at New York since
January 1, are f f7,21G,4G2 less than for the corree
ponding two months of 1867, $14,299,686 lees than
fur the saun- period of iB6O, and $7,712,647 less
than for the same period of 1866.
The total exports (exclusive of specie) from New
York to foreign ports for the first two mouths of the
year have been $1,969,G>40 less than for the same
’ inife last y-ar ; $2,264,126 less than for the same
period of IK.7G, and $1,697,292 less than for the same
period of 1866.
The dalies received at New York for the eight
month 1 ending February are $12,681,939 less than
f.jl the eight corresponding months of the past year.
The Boston Traveler says that since January Ist,
the importations of foreign goods at that port have
falle tfi* more than fifry per cent. The imports
la-; year averaged inure than one million dollars
“Hoh wrek . thus far this year they have been only

that the Lycompton Constitution cannot stand, and

Another Bokf.k and Dean Affair. —The Janes
ville (Win.) Standard has the particulars of a rnatr -
inonial aIF/tir that occurred near Janesville last week
which very much resembles the celebrated Boker
and Dean marriage in New York. Here is the
Standard’s story:
A young lady, highly accomplished, of superior
education, and beaut ituL withal, a daughter of a di
tor ts the Suffolk Bank of Boston, has been
pending a few months with some of her friends at
Emerald Grove. In the employ of the gentleman
with whom she was sojoumiiig was a native of the
Emerald Isle; a man, for aught we know, *f good
reputation, but possessing none of the refinements
: the coachman of the Boker family of New York
city, i acquaintance between the man and the
Boston belle soon ripened into intimacy, and an
elopement was the consequence. Taking the foot
inie to Shopiere, the twain procuring the services
of an officer, were .soon made *• flesh of one flesh,”
and arc now, we learn, enjoying “love in a cot
su< kino up Water from Sand.— Livingstone,
the African traveller, describes an ingenious me
thod by which the Africans obtain water in the de
sert:
“The women tie a bunch of grass to one end of a
reed about two feet long, and insert it in a hole dug
as deep as the arm will reach, theu rain down the
wet sand firmly around it. Applying the mouth to
the free end of the reed, they form a vacuum in the
grass beneath, in w hich the water collects, and in a
short lime rises to the mouth.” It will be perceiv
ed 11mt this simple, but truly philosophical and ef
fectual method, might have been applied in many
. uses, in ditfdrent countries, where water was great
ly uceded, to the saving of life. It seems wonder
tulthat it should have been now first made known
to the world, ami that it should have been habitually
practised in Africa, probably for ♦ -nturies. It seems
w rthy of being particularly noticed, that it may
no longer he neglected from ignorance. It may be
highly important to travellers on our Western de
sorts and prairies, in some parts of which water is
know’ll to exist below the surface.

Mr-Flditor : “ A Farmer in the ConrUlution
*UUy ol Sunday, 28th ult, states that what is now
denominated as paper money was wholly uukuown
to the world for nearly seventeen hundred years
after the Christian era, and asks, *’ willsomecham
pion of paper money inform us how the world got
along daring these centuries, and that otLer tong
series of years from the flood to the advent of our
Saviour, without ‘ banking facilities ?” *
I am not the champion of paper money, or of the
banks, but an humble volunteer in delence ot right.
According to the authorities at hand, the Bank
of Yeaioe was established in 1167—this was twenty
years before the time stated by “ A Farmer.’ In
reference to this Bank, I find it stated that “ it was
established by a royal edict of the commonwealth,
which enacts that all payments of wholesale mer
chandize, or letters ot exchange, shall be in bank
notes.” Now, if this authority is reliable, as I think
t is, there were only 1167 years, instead of 1700
after the Christian era, in which bank notes as pa
per money were unknown. The fact that bank
notes were first used as paper money in 1167, does
not prove that paper money did no! exist, and was
not used prior to that time ; on the contrary, the in
ference is fair, that unless paper and the art of
writing were then a simultaneous invention with
bank notes, written paper representatives of value
had been used as paper money. But admitting that
paper money, as now denominated by 4 “ A Fanner,’
viz : bank notes—was unknown up to that time, i{
only remains to show him in brief, how the world got
a'ong for the previous period without “ bankirg
facilities.” “ A Farmer” has not stated what he
oonsiders the world , and I presume he knows that in
t'ae centuries referred to, the people were not the
world ; and thus we find in history that the wealth 0*
kings and princes only are noticed. About 947, Athel
stan subdued Ludwal, a Prince of Wales, and com’
pelied him to pay a tribute of about $8,600, which
made him so rich that he was enabled to form family
alliances with Otho of Germany. This ehows that
about that time armies were moved rather than
crops, and that tribute and ransom money took the
place of banking facilities. It was enough for a
king to know that his neighbor was rich and W'eak-
Another instance, though of late date, may be men
tioned, to show how our glorious ancesters dispensed
with banks. In 1194 certain vessels of gold and
silver, used in the holy Eucharist, were melted for
the purpose of paying the ransom of King Kichard
of England. Aud it may be well to mention ano
ther, which occurred about 1368. A king of France
at that time, paid for the necessaries for his house!
hold in “ money made of leather, in the middle of
which there was driven a silver nail.”
These facts indicate clear enough how the world
did get along in those days without banking facili
ties. The bible, though not intended as a financial
record, shows pretty clearly that similar institu
tions existed among the Hebrews from the days of
Noah. 1 am simple enough to believe that the
world has improved somewhat since the flood, and
that religion, commerce, banks, paper money, &c.,
have contributed largely toward* the amelioration
of the condition of its inhabitants who now use
them instead of superstition and the sword or roya
treasuries and military chests.
W’ith regard to the Bank of Amsterdam, it is
stated that “ Payments made by assignments upon
this bank, are valued from 3 to G per cent, above
the payment of the money in specie.” What these
assignments were, is not stated. It is presumable,
however, that they were not as our present bank
checks, but was a kind of scrip which passed from
hand to hand as money by which p&ymeuts could
be made from one merchant to another without t&
king the coin represented by it from the bank. I
dare say it will appear strange to Gov. BrowD, that
these hard-fisted and, perhaps, hard-headed Dutch
men should, as early as 1669, have a preference for
paper money, but our friend, u A Farmer,” will ap
preciate the prefference, as he has.no doubt, learned
that the \ eople of Amsteidam “ apply themselves
with the utmost diligence, to heap up wealth, not
wLa the view to enjoy it, but to have the pleasure
of dying rich.” Live Oak.

Mr. Editor Yesterday was one of those few
stated occasions of common interest to our commu
nity—the Commencement Exercises of the Medical
College of Georgia, at the Masonic Hail. The
venerable President of the Medical College, Fix-
Governor Schley, conferred the Degree of Doctor
in Medicine upon about sixty young men. This
ceremony was followed by an addresp to the Gradua
ting Class, by the Rev. Rufus K Porter, of Bath.
His subject was moat appropriate to the occasion,
“Theßelation and Harmony of Science and Re
ligion"—skillfully chosen, befitting the character
both of the speaker and of the class immediately
addressed, and, moreover one of popular interest,
and developed with a master’s hand.
At the hazard of doing the orator injustice, we
here venture a short abstract of the .address, this
made possible from its clear arrangement. A
graceful introduction led to the distinct statement
of his subject. Science, of every kind, diecovers
laws governing the occurrence of phenomena—
leading naturally to the enquiry, What is the 11a
ture of these universal laws ? Here, by many illus
trations, the speaker showed the absurdity of re
garding these laws as actively producing their re
spective phenomena—that these laws are but the
expression of the mode in which power harmonious
ly acts—power, no attribute of brute matter, but
only of intelligence, it must be inferred as its source
to the great Intelligent, Loving, Personal God .
thus, the phenomena of Nature ordered by the God
of Nature—the Legislator and Executive of its
laws. He showed such to be the final conclusion of
Bacon, Newton, and such like minds.
His most copious illustration of the nature of these
general laws, were in the science of Physiology—
coming up to the question of the ultimate source of
those vital laws so wonderfully controlling the ordi
nary chemical affinities of matter to such wonderful
results. Here he triumphantly demonstrated that at
the extreme limits of the Physiologist’s microscopi
cal examinations, he has learned nothing of the es-
Bence of the ultimate force working by these laws
to build up the fabric of the body, and regulate, in
harmony, its complicated motions—it must be re
ferred for its source to the Great First Cause ; that,
in all the sciences, the conclusions of a true philoso
pby coincide with the declarations ot Revelation.
The remainder of the discourse went to illustrate
the above conclusions—denying the possibility of
antagonism between the facts of true science and
divine Revelation—with many historical illustra
tions of apparent discrepancies, finally reconciled
—and, very liberally, taking the position that such
apparent contradictions must depend either on the
imperfection of science or the misinterpretation of
Revelation.
Daring this part of the address, after the fullest
respect expressed for Science, there followed a no
ble aud eloquent tribute to Christianity, worthy the
Christian Minister; showing.it from the beginning,
the jealous and ready defender of the truth—cease
lessly assailed by various foes, ever triumphant—
now, as ever, the light aud hope of the world.
And as becoming was the conclusion, drawing
the character ot the Christian Physician, as most
befiitting them in treading their serious path of life.
Thus, without cant, but with earnest sincerity, ap
parently highly commending itself to their admira
tion.
It would do honor to the College if they would
put this noble, liberal and philosophical address in
print
One of the graduat'ng class, Dr. Bead, closed the
exercises, with a valedictory, which we have not
time to notice. Suffice to say, that it was highly
creditable to the young man, leaving a pleasant
impression upon the uudienee. the assurance of
bis sues ess in life, from the excellent principles and
character of his discourse. A. B.

I Narrative of a l". S. Soldier taken Prisoner
by the 3!uruiGC!.
The following narrative of Henry Feldman, of
the U. S- Infantry, who was taken prisoner by the
Mormons on the 30th of October last, will be found
very interesting. At the time of hia being taken
prisoner, he was doing duty as acting hospital
steward, and it was necessary for him to paseirv-ni
Col. Alexander's to Capt. Marcy's carp, which
were two or three ini-ee apart. We g,ve the story
as we have it from the special correspondence of
the New Orleans Picayune.
I left the camp of the 10th Infantry on the 30th
of October, 1867, fer the purpose of going to an ad
joining camp of a detachment of the 10th Infantry,
and seeing some friends On iny way lo L.nt place
I was suddenly surprised by three in4n < u horse
back, who wanted me to stop ad deliver up iny
arms immediately, (I had my rille andiuy s ; de
along with me.) Not Laving the les.st m ention t
part with my arms, I defended myself the best way
Icould, and wounded the first horse which approach
ed me, so as to dismount the horseman ; 1 ran my
bayonet into the breast of the second hoive r.ud
broke it, and likewise brought the rider to the
ground. In the meantime there came three other
horsemen, whom I did not mention before, and e-* -
ing their friends already dl-mounted aud their horses
killed, at least cue of them, < ame to their assistance,
when they were joined by the third mn of Lhe fir.t
party. These four men on horseback now tried t
oaten me with the larret, but unfortunately th~ir
lariets did not catch ; and while I wh? turning o
wards them the other two dismount-d men threw
their lariets from different sicte-s, which brought me
to the ground ; and they then look away my arms.
They then took me to Fort Bridger. After ’hav.i g
one day’s rest in that F'ort they escorted me on the
second day through the canons to Great .Salt I^ske
City.
On my arrival at that place I was immediately
brought to prison, with a regular guard of two men
always around me. I was not brought before any
of the authorities in the city, nor had I any com mu
ideation with anyone in relation to the intentions
or strength of the U. S. troops in the Territory.
After having been fourteen days confined. I con
trived to escape, and being at the distauce of thir
ty miles from Salt Lake City was caught, brought
back, aud confined in another prison. From here I
had another opportunity to escape again in about
five weeks. While two of my guards were asleep,
I knocked the third one down, took a revolver, and
a horse I found in the yard, and galloped off as fast
as I could. I changed horses twice on the road,
aud on the second day, being within about 29 to 39
miles of the camp of the U. S. troops, I noticed that
I was followed by about thirty horsemen —who, as
soon as they were near enough, fired at me inces
santly, killed my horse at last, and coming up to me
took me prisoner, and brought me back to Great
Salt Lake City again.
I was conducted to prison arid kept there till the
26th of December, when I was released and brought
with an armed escort, coneistiug of four men, ti l on
Bear River, from there to find my own way to
camp.
During my last confinement I found out and
heard many things, which in my belief are of some
importance, the moat of these things having been
preached in church by Brigham Young and his ad
herents.
The Mormons say : That no regular troops would
act as w e do, that the whole U. S force here is noth
ing but a mob, and that all of us, befoie spring
opens, will be strived to death on account of not
having sufficient provisions along w ith us. That
the officers keep the soldiers in tofal ignorance
about their sadness and sorrow, and persuade them
to consider and treat the Mormons not a particle
better than they would murderer aDd robber hands.
That per force they (the Mormons) can bring an
army into the fled amounting to 20,991) men (ail be
tween 16 and 60 years of age.) and as a party
among them (which calls itselt half-Mormon) sajs,
it woul 1 only require about 6900 regular troops or
tightiDgmcn to defeat the whole of the Mormon fore .
They are very badly equipped, and the firearms in
their possession art* in the same bad condition ; they
have either old condemned U. S. rifles, muskets—
percussion and flint lock—or Mississippi rifles and
revolvers. They have no caitridges at all. Every
Mormon carries a powder horu aud bullets. They
have got six or eight old brass pieces (canuon) and
some iron. Their calibre I don’t know anything
about. I never saw them.
They are organizing a corps of some two thous
and ao-called regular troops, half horse aud half
foot; the cavely armed with rules and revolvers,
and the footmen with muskets. This force they in
tend to station as soon as the road to Sail Lake
opens between the camp of the United States troops
aud Great Salt Lake City, in the mountains.
They are informed of all that occurs in our camp,
and of all the movements of the United States
troops in Utah Territory. They sent companies
out from Great Salt Lake City along the load to
New Mexico, to stampede the animals and destroy
the Government property under charge of Capt.
Marcy ; and they have likewise sent out parties be
tween Salt Lake City and Laramie, for the same
purpose.
They receive regular mails aud are in constant
communic'ition with the States and California, and
that they are in league with the Cheyenne Indians
in Kausas Territory, and all other Indian tribes,
North, South and West, in Utah Territory. That
any Mormon can pass through any of the Indian dis
tricts unmolested, but that other people will be
killed surely.
Theie w r as a party of six men coming from Cali
fornia with the intention of passing through Salt
Lake City and visiting the camp of the United
States troops. They were not allowed to pass
through the city, aud were afterwards taken pris
oners. After some days’ confinement they were re
leased on condition that they should return to the
place from which they came. Accordingly four of
them started to return to California, by the Southern
route, but never reached their destination They
were killed on the load, as the half Mormons ex
press themselves, by the ‘ painted Indians.”
That a trader from Green river, by the name of
Gates, while coming to the city, to make some pur
chases was murdered by a man named Bill Hickman.
That Gates is the man who delivered up some pow
der to the United States troops, supposed to have
belonged to the Mormons.
That they intended to fight to the last man and
that if they should be defeated by the United States
troops to b urn the city and their settlements and
take to the mountains.
That they have very strong fortification in the
canons, and several places strongly undermined with
powder.
Lastly that they have perhaps provisions suffi
cient for two years in and around the city, a great
portion of them buried in the ground.”
Rowdyism at Washington. —The correspon
dents note the rowdies at the seat of Government’
Says the correspondent of the New York Courier :
One week ago to-day, a crew of the most noto
rious of these wretches, six or eight in number,
formed themselves in fighting order in the middle
of the day, before the National Hotel, the most
public place in the whole city, and not two squaren
removed from the City Hall and Police Offices, aud
deliberately set upou two brothers, respectable me
chanics, beat both of them dreadfully and then,
four being upon one, stabbed him to death with a
bowie knife. The affair created scarcely any sen
B&tion.
I need hardly again allude to the frequent street
battles between firemen and their associates, in
which he killing aud wounding of members among
the combatants are incidents so common as to pro
duee little remark and to be unworthy the attention
of the public authorities. The feeble attempts to
check disorders is made the pretext for other crimes.
Many of the most desperate and dangerous c-harac
ters who infeßt the city pretend to have been ex
pelled from Baltimore only for politieal reasons.—
They are, they claim, the victims of political pro
scription.
They have lost employment, and must rob to
live, and in order to rob they must some times kill.
A few nights since a gentleman turned out of Penn
sylvania avenue into a respectable and frequented
street. He was almost immediately beset bv a gang
of marauders, who demanded his money. He gave
them what trifling amount he had, aud they then
explained to him that they were patriot refugees
from our neighboring city who were compelled to
this pursuit, as the only one left them by the malice
of their enemies.
Gas. —The Scientific American, in an article on
this subject, says :
The simplest teat by which consumers can ascer
tain the comparative purity of Gas, is by holding
above a gas burner a piece of paper dipped in a
solution of the Sugar of Lead. If the gas is not
pure the paper will turn to a greyish and even a
black tint, whilst pure gas will leave it white. * *
When well constructed, the metre is a fair reck
oner, though frequent differe ces arise on this sub
ject between gas companies and their customers.
The fact is, that the discrepancies, occurring be
tween one period of consumption and another,
which are also attributed to the metre, come more
likely from differences in the quality of the gas fur
nished, for it is a fact not sufficiently known, that
the poorer the gas the faster it will flow through
the burners ; and though the metre has registered
correctly the volume of gas delivered, it does not
follow that the consumer hai received an equiva
lent amount of light. A desirable improvement in
this direction would be a metre registering the time
or duration of light, rather than the volume of gas.
Until that is accomplished gas companies will have
no inducement to furnish good gas. The worst ar
ticle with which consumers can be satisfied will be
more likely to be manufactured, since it is the
cheapest to produce aud the easiest to sell.
The Amount of Food Consumed bv a Man du
ring his Life Time. —We take the following from
a late number of the London Times :
M. Alexis Soyer, in one of his most touching pic
tures of real life, represents to us a good geuius
leading out a little aristocrat, or a yet unconscious
millionaire, to a vast plain, upon which is collected
on one spot all tbe delicate food and costly liquors
whioh that favored being will consume during the
period of his moral struggles, supposing him to at
tain the average age ot mau. That great writer
throws in the additional and awful touch that the
animals destined for tbe support of the little boy
are in thai dreadful vision endowed with life, and
are gazing at their future consumer with lack-lus
tre but reproachful eye. Taking the medium con
sumption of his daily meals, the eminent writer iu
question has calculated that the boy would be eur

geons ; 1,400 partridges, pheasants, and grouse, iIOO
woodcocks and snipes. 000 wild-duck, widgeon and

not room to dwell upon the food, upon the fruits
and vegetables ; we would only add that the li
quids to promote the digestion of the above articles,
enumerated or suggested, are counted as 49 hogs

rough idea of the spectacle that would meet the in
telligent eves of a little Colonel of the Grenadier
Guards, if summoned at an early age to inspect his
future rations. The sight that would greet the eyes
of an embryo soldier destined to serve under his
command be of a far less eomplirared nature,
seeing that it would mainly consist of a huge pile of
boiled fresh beef, in weight equalling 7 ‘"lbs. of
stringy, over boiled, iresb meat. We have some

Banks of MacoN.— Finding that the. Banks of

Banks that do any business here—“ The Bank of

which though it suspended tpeci? payments at the
time of the general suspension has continued
througbout to pay all claims against it. in Savannah.
Augusta, or Charleston funds, so the public have
suffered no inconvenience from the Banks of this
place and none need be apprehended. The disas
trous failure of two or three local Banks in the pre
vious history of Macon, although the almost invari
able concomitant of that speculative mania engen
dered in tbe rapid rise of anew place, has given
our banks a laborious path to public- oonndence and
reputation abroad. So much the tetter for them,
perhaps. They will win it by a cautious and pru
dent course. We regard them as among the safest
institutions of the kmd in Georgia. Tne Telegraph

in the fu 1 faith that the interests of the place will be

Terrible Affair —A Young Lady Scared into
Marriage—One of the Parly Shot by her Father. —
We find the following account of a very extraordi
nary affair, alleged recently to have happened in
Kemper county, Miss., in the last number of the
Philadelphia (Neshoba co.) Bulletin :
While Mr. Duncan MeLaurin, living Iwo miles
northwest of DeKalb, w'as in Alabama, Mr. Everett
Roberts am! his wife, Rigsby his overseer, aud two
or three other persons, in company with a carpen
ter in the employ of Roberts, by the name of New
son, went to the residence of Mr. MeLaurin for the
purpose of getting hia daughter to marry Newson.
Roberts and his wife went into the house aud not
finding the girl, R.’s wife went into the kitchen where
the girl was and talked with her some time, trying
to induce her to marry Newson; but the girl replied
that she knew very little of the man and had never
agreed to marry him. When R.’s wife came back
info the house, the girl’s mother asked them what
was the matter ? Their reply was, that it was
none of her business. They all left, and t hat night
a portion of the same crowd (Rigsby along) went
back to the house, and not finding the girl at home,
asked a little boy where she was, and he told them
that she was at Mr. Moss’, (a near neighbor)—so
they left and went to Moss’. One of their company
went into the house and insisted upon the girl s marry
ingNe wson, but to no purpose —whereupon Newson
went in and asked to see the girl privately, and the
girl’s sister, who was with her, said she intended to
hear every word that was said. Newson told her
that he had already taken out the license and that
it she did not marry him, both would be disgraced;
aud after much tormoutiug aud exciting her, elie
went with him to Rogers’ house and was married to
him.
When Mr. MeLaurin returned home, Roberts sent
him a note by Rigsby, and MeLaurin told him that
if he or Rigsby wished to have any communication
with him, that they imutsendii through K.’s son or
negroes—that he would not have anything to do
with them. The next morning Rigsby appeared
again, and MeLaurin told him the same. The third
morning he made bin appearance, and was ordered
out of the house, bu! would not go, and gave Mr.
and Mrs. MeLaurin the lie, rising from his seat aud
running his hand into his pocket, and commenced
taking it out; and thereupon Mr. MeLaurin pulled
down his gun and shot him through, saying at the
time that no man should give his wife the lie. When
the jury of inquest examined the pockets of Rigsby,
the Sheriff took from his pocket an open knife.
We received the above statement from a very
reliable citizen of our county who wasover in Kem

How to Eat Wisely. —Dr. Hall, in his Jour
nal, gives the following advice .
1. Never sit. down to a table with an anxious or
disturbed mind; better hundred a fold intermit that
meal, for there will then be that much more food
in the world for hungrier stomachs than yours ; and,
besides, eating under such circumstances can only,
and will always, prolong aud aggiavate the condi
tion of things.
2. Never sit down to a meal after any iulense
mental effort, for physical ami mental injury are in
evitable, and no mau has a right to deliberately in
jure body, mind, or estate.
3. Never go to a full table during bodily exhaus
tion— designated by someone as being worn out,
tired to death, used up, done over, aud the like. The
wisest thing you can do under such circumstances,
is to take a cracker and a cup of warm tea, either
black or green, and no more. In ten minutes you
will find a degree of refreshment and liveliness
which will be pleasantly surprising to you; not of
the transient kind which a glass of liquor affords,
but permanent; for the tea gives present stimulus
and a little strength, and before it subsides, nutri
ment begins to be drawn from the sugar and cream
and bread, thus allowing the body gradually, and
by ssfe degrees, to regain its usual vigor. Then in
a couple of hours, you may take a full meal, provi
ded it does not briug it later than two hours before
sundown; if later, then take nothing for that day
in addition to the cracker and te, and the next day
you will fell a freshness and vigor not recently
known.
No reader will require to be advised a second
time, who will make a trial as above ; while it is a
fact of no unusual observation, among intelligent
physicians, that eating heartily, and under bodily
exhaustion, is not unfrequently the cause of (Harm
ing and painful illness, and sometimes sudden death.
These things being seq leFevery family make it a
point to assemble around the family board with
friendly feelings, with a Jheerful humor, and a cour
teous spirit; and let tbejtnember be sent from it in
disgrace who presunidyfiFmar the ouglit-to be blest
re-uuion, by sullen silence, or impatient look, or
angry tone, or complaifllrg tongue. Eat in thank
ful gladness, or away nfith you to the kitchen, you
graceless churl, you ungrateful, pestilent lout that
you are ! There was grand and good philosophy in
the old-time custom of having-a buffoon or music at
he dinner table.
Washington Items— The Senate Committee
on Territories will report a bill for the organization
of the Territory of Arizona. It has been delayed
by a difficulty in reference to the boundaries—Mr.
Mowry tbe Arizona delegate, proposing to connect
Arizona with Texaß on the east —thus including in
Arizona the lower liio Grande, which properly be
longs to it, being separated from New Mexico pro
per by the Ernada drl Muerto , {Dead Mali's Jour

Mowry claims, (and he is supported by the views
of his constituents,) ib a natural boundary between
the two Territories. Mr. Otero, tbe New Mexican
delegate, desires a boundary along the loßth meri
dian, from Utah to the Mexican line. m
It is said that the President will send a special
message to Congress upon the subject of the Army
Bill, urging the additional regiments atked for in
hie message.

Deadly Weapons.—A bill has been introduced
lately into the Pennsylvania Legi-fature having for
it# object the suppression of the carrying of con
ceaied weapons— knucklers. ffung-shots, etc. The
most important feature in the bil! consist* in its giv
ing power to the courts, in case of conviction of ag
gravated assaults by means of the use of these
weapons, to sentence the offenders to the peniten
tiary. There are some “slung-shot” and “knock
ler” rowdies in this city who ought to be in the
penitentiary, and who most assuredly would go
there if we bad such a law. and anything likejue
tice was done them. At ail evepts, it is fully time
that something should be done with such characters
beyond going through the farce of holding them to
bail every tinm they take it into their heads to knock
down and stab unoffending Dd defenseless people.

Commodore Perry.
The name of Commodore Matthew C. Perry, an
illuslrioua officer of the United States Navy, was
yesterday morning added to the list of the distin
guished dea :ud theui.eipectedmnuouncement of
the sad <. vei.i ; !1 painfuliy cn-the hearts of our citi
zens. C- ir.odcre Perry died at bis residence in
this city, fti tr a bri. * i ‘ness, which, up to almost
the mcui ent of his death, was pot considered dange
rous. The giioot of the universal sorrow which tol
i w.’ t: e clot- i*f: > i. • finds a soothing alleviation
;n thy -wt. >* nn< c: 1 the illustrious deeds which
in&rked its cur> tk>n.
MaitUcw C. I\rr\ was the son of Raymond Per
ry, an officer in the infant marine of the United
Mates. Wits born in April,d794, in South Kingston,
on Narraganset Bay’ Kto e Island, and received hie
early education in the Navy amid thestomring
scenes of tie war of 1810. when his elder brother.
Oliver H. Perry, won ior himself the name of the
hero of the battle of Lake Erie. He entered the
U S. Navy in January, 18tl*, as midshipman, and
immediately j ined the tchooner Revenge, from
which be wrifcsoou after transferred to the frigate
President. lirNovember 1813 he was ordered to
the frigate United Mates, and in April. 181-4. was
sent back to the President. Toward the end of 1814
he was ordered to the brig ('tdppewa, from which
vessel he was transferred to.the Navy Yard at
Brooklyn, with the rsnk of Lieutenant, in August,
181‘3, he was ordered to the ship Cyene, which was
’ frent to the Coast of Africa, lo aid the efforts of the
C dou.zaion Society In its attempt to found a settle
ment ot tree blacks upon the island of Sberbro, near
Sierra Leone. The moitality a: Sherbro was so
grt at that it became evident no colony could be
planted there. Lieutenant Perry selected Mesurado
C-ape as a more sutiablelocality for a town. He
therefore fixed the locality of the first settlenH-nt at
Liberia. In the schooner Shark, to the command
ot which vessel Lieut- nan Perry waa appointed in
18*J1, ha twice visited the Colony at Mesurado, and
in the same vessel captured a number of pirates in 1
the w-aters of the West Indies.
On his return, he was again attached to the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, where he remained until 1824, when
he was ordered to the Worth Cm ohna , of 96guns, un
der command ot Com. John Rogers. In this ship
he served.aa tf.st lieutenant, and captain of the
fleet, during her whole cruise. He was then promo
ted to the rank of commander, and took charge of
the.recruiting service at Boston, in which employ
ment he continued until 1830, when lie took com
mand at the corvette Concord , in which he convey
ed John Randolph as United States Minister to St.
Petersburg,.ana afterward cruised three years in
the Mediterranean. When home again, lie was once
more actively employed at i lie Brooklyn Navy Yard
as superinte. dent of a school of gun practice, and in
the orginizatiou of a steam naval service. He ren
dered valuable service aa superintendent of the gun
practice at Sandy Hook. At the suggestion of the
British Admiralty, he was selected to investigate
into the phenomena of the tides on this coast, a task
ot which he acquitted himself in a very satisfactory
manner. Com. Perry was promoted to the rank of
Captain, Feb. 9,1837, and the honors of his profes
s on began to be showered upon him. He was offered
but declined the command of the Exploring Expe
dition, which was afterwards given to Com. Wilkes.
We next find him in Europe, in the year 1838, on a
Government mission, visaing aneb inspecting the
dock yards and light houses. His report of that
mission was submitted to the Government in 183,
and gave facts and suggestions which proved emi
nently useful in improving those departments of the
United States service.
The lighthouses now on the Highlands of Neva
fink, were constructed on the Fresnel plan at his
suggestion They were the first of the present im
proved lighthouse system. He now again resumed
his duties as Superintendent of the gun practice, and
added to them the service of preparing plans for the
construction and equipment of the Missouri and
Mississippi, which two vessels were the pioneers of
our steam naval service. He was next appointed
to the Chief Command of the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
and left it two years afterwards to take command
of the African Squadron sent out under the provi
sions of the Ashburton Treaty. The commendation
of both the British and American Governments,
was his reward for this service. Next came the
war of the United States with Mexico, and Com
modore Berry’s naval co-operation with the land
forces, was such as to win the acknowledgments of
Ge Scott in his official dispatches, and the general
applause of the country. He captured the town ot
Tobasco, and directed the naval bombaidment of
Vera Cruz His next service was te attend to the
interests of the United States in the Fishery Ques
tion, on which mission ho was sent by President
Fillmore, and it was doubtless owing to his efforts
that a collision was prevented.
We come now to a part of the life of Commodore
Perry which gives to him his highest and most en
during fame. In 1852 he was appointed to the com
mand of the Japan Expedition, fitted out to open
that empire, turough peaceful means, to commerce
and intercourse. The empire of Japan had long re
mained a scaled book to the various nations of the
civilized world. The rulers of that rich and popu
lous country, had for a long period continued to act
on maxims of exclusiveness so complete as to put
even the policy of the Court of Pekin to shame.
There waa but one European people—the Dutch—
wit whom they had consented to hold the most modi
tied intercourse; and that intercourse had been
limited to the admission of two ships annually from
Batavia into the port of Naugasaki, the value of
whose cargoes were said to have amounted to some
three hundred thousand dollars. It was no small
undertaking to break an exclusive system like this,
consolidated by rigid observance for two centuries ;
and it was a great tribute to the intellectual and
moral qualities of Gommodere Perry, when he was
selected, from the entire navy list, by Mr. Webster
tojcouduct'thia arduous undertaking. The manner
in which lie executed that task, is still fresh in the
recollection of all our people.
The skill evinced in the management of his slen
der means, his ready apprehension and use of every
favorable circumstance, his quickness in perceiv
ing and consummate mastery in balding the wiles
of the Japanese officials, his efficient blending of
firmposs with courtesy and imposing display with
dignified forbearauce, the practical diplomatic tal
ent displayed in framing the twelve articles of the
treaty, and, in short, all that combination of varied
capacity and action which enabled Commodore
Matthew Galbraith Perry, at the head of his little
fleet of three or four ships, to bend the will and
break up the set prescriptive ways of a nation of
twenty-five millions upon the other side of the
globe, has hardly yet ceased to be the topic of ad
miring comment. The treaty which he negotiated,
and which was signed on the last day of March,
1854, has already begun to make its mark ; and
while its negotiator passes to his grave, a Prince of
.Japan is oa his way to the shore where that grave is
opening, to stand by it, as it were, a living witness
that the dead at his feet has joined in intercourse
America with Japan.
The last servica in which Com. Perry was enga
ged, was a member of the late Naval Retiring
Board, and to'our personal knowiedge, he made a
great sacrifice of feeling in undertaking that invidi
ous duty. He was strongly opposed to the mode of
con ucting the trials, and all hough he was strongly
in favor of reforming the Navy, he deemed the plan
of proceeding in many essential points unjust and
ill advised. But being ordered by the Department
to lake his seat, at the Board, heJmd no alternative,
and performed his duty honeatl^P
The sum of Com. Perry’s character is this; lie
was a model of a Naval officer, scrupulously exact
in his discipline, and thoroughly American in all his
views. He had the valor of a hero and the capacity
of a statesman, but both were outshone by a mag
nanimous heart which beat only to the measures of
generosity and justice. And with this for our tri
bute on his tomb, we end our record of the death of
Commodore Matthew C. Perry.— N. Y. Cour .

Washington Items. —The Se lect Kansas Coin
mittee of the House met on Wednesday night. All
the members were present. The Committee sat
nearly three hours.
The first business was the presentation of Mr.
Stephens’ report on behalf of the majority, which
occupied uearly three quarters of an hour in read
ing. He maintained the legality of the Lecompton
Convention throughout, claiming that the election
of delegates conformed to the requirements of the
law, and that therefore the act of the Convention in
framing the Constitution was binding upon the peo
ple. He contended that those who refused to vote
were barred by their own act and could not com
plain. He reviewed Senator Douglas’ Sprinfield
speech and the letters of Gov. Walker and Sec.
Stanton, with the view of demonstrating the incon
sistency of their present and past positions. The
report concluded by recommending the admission
of Kansas under the Kecoippton Constitution, pure
ly and simply.
At the closa of the report were pesented a series
of resolutions, covering the information already ob
tained fiom the Department. Then a vote was ta
ken on the report and resolutions, which were
adopted by a vote of eight, to seven
Gen. Calhoun’s statement, had been made
to the Territorial Committee of the Senate and
called for by Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, at the last
meeting, was then presented, but not read. Mr.
Henuett moved that it should not be considered as
evidence, which motion Mr. Stephens amended
slightly. It ivaa then adopted by a vote of nine to
six, Messrs. Stephens and Russell voting affirma
tively, thus repudiating Calhoun’s testimony.
Afterward Mr. Stephens moved to adjourn sine
die , to which an amendment was offered, substitu
ting to morrow night. The amendment wt* voted
down by 8 yeas to 7 nays. Then the sine die
amendment was carried.
Mr. Stepens expressed an .ntention of repotting
next Wednesday, with a view of giving the minori
ty time to prepare.
Senator Toombs, from the Committee on the Ju
diciary, designs introducing a bill for a general and
uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United
States, for the protection of creditors, the relief of
insolvent debtors, and to regulate the commercia
intercourse of the citizens of the different Stales, in
eluding bauks and all other corporations. It wil
contain both voluntary and involuntary bankrupt
cy, and wiH compel both individuals and corpora
tions to pay their debts or become bankrupt. It
will provide again t all frauds or preferences, and
compel an honest division of all the bankrupt's pro
perty among the creditors.
Under the Senate joint resolution, which passed
the House on Wednesday, it is understood that the
President is prepared promptly to nominate for re
storation to the active list oztlie Navy many of the
officers stricken down by the action of the Naval
lioard.
The Senate have confirmed numerous pending ap
pointments, including W. Rowland, tormerly of
Brooklyn, as Consul to Riga, in Russia, and Mr.
Washington as Collector at San Francisco. All the
nominations for promotion in the Marine Corps are
confirmed.
The War Department, it is said, has countermand
ed GeD. Scott’s order for the transportation by
Government of supplies to the Utah Army, Russell
and Majors presenting ample evidences of their
ability to perform their contract for that service.
Their trains will start about the 28tb of March.
Iratn Nye is nominated as the Marshal of the
Northern District of Illinois, vice Davidson on suspi
cion of Anti-Lecomptonism.
The Pacific Hotel Diasteh. —We find in the
St. Louis papers the second and third days’ pro
ceedings in the examinati nos Charles L. Sanders
alias Taylor, charged with conspiracy, arson and
murder in the Pacific Hotel case. The testimony
thus far elicited does not by any means warrant
the very exciting statements published on the morn
ing after Taylor san eat. The large sum of money
alleged to have been in the possession of the suppos
ed murdered man appears never to have existed.
Taylor did not arrive at the Towneiey House alter
ordering the alarm of fire, but at least a full hour
before it. He did not go there without boots or
shoes on, but bad his boots on, and was otherwise in
full dress No blood was discovered on the sheets
in which he elept. Thus are some of the hideous
features of this affair, as it first appeared, entirely
obliterated. At the same time there is reason to
believe that there wtw foul play somewhere, but
where it is at present impossible to determine. —

sembled this afternoon, and John L. Dawson was
elected permanent President. On taking the chair
he made a lengthy speech, and after alluding to the
duties to be performed, he complimented the ad
ministration of President Buchanan.
Mr. Packer urged the propriety of giving some
decided expression of sentiment on the Kansas
question. He reviewed the affairs connected
therewith, and argued that the Lecompton Consti
tution was legally formed and was a legal instru
ment, even if it embodies only the views of ami
nority. The fault was with the majority for not
attending the elections, and it ought to be ratified
by Congress and admitted. The Democratic party
would sustain no permanent injury by endorsing
the course of the national Administration. It wa3
a party principle, and would inarch Readily on to
success.
The speech was frequently greeted with applause.
A Committee on Resolutions was appointed, and
on motion all the resolution referring to the policy
of the party were referred to the committee without
deb'tte.
Mr. Wright moved that no nominations be made
until the platform was adopted, which gave rise to
a spirited debate.
The reason given for this movement was the
precedent established by the Cincinnati Conveu-,
tion.
The President of the Convention was charged
with packing the Committee, who were all Lecomp
ton men.
The President replied that if such was the case it
was altogether accidental.
A motion waa made to add four additional mem
bers to the Committee, which was negatived—ayes
47, nayß 82.
A motion to increase the Committee to thirty
three was negatived, after some debate, by a vote
of ayes 20, nays 102.
Mr. Wright’s motion finally prevailed, and the
Convention adjourned until this evenining.
Harrisburg, March 4—Evening.—The Com
mittee on Resolutions not being ready to report the
Convention adjourned till the morning.
New Haven, Conn., March 3.— The Democratic
State Convention met here to-day. J. D. Phelps,

vernor on the first ballot. The vote was as follows:
Piatt 192
C. M. Ingersoll - 127
James C. Loomis 41
The other candidates naminated are as follows :
For Lieutenant-Governor—John Colton Smith,
of Sharon.
For Secretary of State—F. Williams, Ji., of Stou
ington.
For Treasurer —Daniel B. Warner, of East Had-
dam.
For Comptroller—Peleg C. Child, of Woodstock.
This afternoon the Committee on Resolutions re
ported a aeries, but Dr. Woodward, ot Middletown,
thinking they did not go far enough in support of
the President, moved to amend them. He was sup
ported byC. M. Ingersoll ard others, and opposed
by Mr. Strong, of Hartford, and others, who de
nounced the Lecompton Constitution.
After a further warm debate, the resolutions and
amendments were referred back to the Committee,
who reported soon after the same resolutions amend
ed so as to approve the policy of Mr. Ruehauan, as
expressed in his inaugural address and several mea
-ages. The resolutions were then adopted, under
the operation of the previous question.
