ttmnl Advice from n Veteran Cler
gyman.
At the Uallimore Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, the Rev.
Thomas Sowell presented a letter from
the venerable Joshua Wells, who is now
ninety-eight year of age. The letter
contains hut mnuy expressions of good
will and brotherly love towards the mem
bers of the Conference, uud entreats the
members to refrain from the discussion
of the slavery question, as nothing hut
harm to tho church would result from
such discussion. The Rev. l>r. Wells is
the oldest clergyuiau living.

Uouglit-r,)'. New Switch.
The Atlanta Locomotive, speaking of
the new switch lately invented by Mr.
Dougherty, master machinist iu the Ma
con uud Western Rail Hoad shop, says it
will prevent a train from running off the
track, if, by accident, it should bo placed
wrong. The efficacy of it was thorough
ly tested in Atlanta on Saturday last. A
train was posted back uud forth over it,
at the rate of twenty miles an hour, with
out its having been moved. This great
invention should enrich the inventor, who
has supplied a desideratum equaled ouly
by the safety valve to prevent explosion
of the boiler of a steam engiuc.

The New York Seventh Kegimeut hap,

Tho trade at Charleston and New

Place of holding Convention, die.
Much has been said by Ihc press and
correspondents nbout the change of place
for holding the Presidential convention
It is now too late, if the Executive Com
mittee had the power to make the change,
which no one will seriously contend they
have. The place was designated by the
Cincinnati Convention, which aloue pos
sessed that power, and the province of
the Executive Committee is to carry into
effect its action.
Much of the dissatisfaction expressed
at the prico of hoard iD Charleston, though
justly founded, is due to the rival influ
ences of other places, while much of it is
done for political effect. Prominent
among the rival bidders against Charles
ton is Baltimore. As too many arrange
ments have already been made, and there
in no daDgcr any way of such a change,
we do not hesitate to say, that Charles
ton, even at five dollars per day, would
he preferable to the rendezvous of row
dyism at half tbe price.
We trust, however, that the Hotels of
Charleston will, in deferenco to public
opinion, reduco their prices to n reason
able sum. In any event, we warrant that
the private citizens of Charleston will bo
true to their antecedents and established
fame for generous hospitality.

Cincinnati Home Market.
Tho Cincinnati Gazette tays the week
ending with the 13th inst., has been a
busy one with the horse dealers, not only
public but private. Tbe market has
been pretty well stocked, but still there
has not teen any evidence of stagnation.
As usual at this time of the year, there
was a large number of buyers iri town,
most of whom represented Southern
States. The horses most sought after
just ill present seetn to he light harness
horses uud pairs. One gentleman from
l.ouisiana bought during the week, for
his own privato stud, two pair of matches,
for which he paid $1,125. The Gazette
adds, “In our weekly reports of the
markets it must he borne in mind by the
farmers and drovers generally that the
aggregate number of horses which wo
publish as sold embraces only those sold
at public auction or at. the Sale .Stables ;
the privato dealers wo cannot induco to
furnish statistics, save in such a manner
as to ho of no immediate use. The sales
during the week were 810 head, and tho
value $82,6811 60.”
Perilous Posit lon—Sus,ielislon Over
a Blast.
Near Dubuque, lowa, last week, a shaft
was being blasted through a rock thiriy
feet deep. A man tunned Norton, was
engaged in drilling, while a companion
attended to tho windless and drew him
up when tho signal was given. The Her
ald says:
Having finished a drill, loaded it, and
getting ready preparatory to firing the
fuse, Mr. Norton commenced picking up
his tools, in readiness to ascend. At this
moment his foot struck tho caudle, up
setting it exactly on the fuse, und in a
second it had caught and was fizzing
down toward the powder. Mr. Norton
immediately commenced calling to the man
übovo to pull him up. The latter was at
some little distance from Ihc shaft, and
did not hear the cry; but, fortunatoly,
happening to look in thnt direction, he
saw the rope shaking, and thinking thnt
he might be wanted, he hastened up. Iu
Ihe uexl instance he became aware what
was wanted, and immediately commenced
hauling up the other The situation of
the latter was anything but pleasant—
sufficient time seemed to his imagination
to have elapsed for the fuse to burn the
pDwisr, !*d ho ntorawtarlly oyj'oct?'.? to
bo blown out of tho shaft.
The man at the windlass tnnde super
human off or s, and had hauled the other
within some ten feet of the mouth, when
the handle of tho windlass bloke! For
tunately, Mr. Norton caught a foothold
on the projecting shelf, and thereby saved
himself from falling to the bottom. Hut
tho position was anything hut desirable,
as ho was iu no way protected front the
effects of the explosion, while it was only
hy superhuman efforts that ho kept him
self from falling from the narrow stand
ing place. There was no way to got out,
and ho was sure to be riddled with the
shower of rocks that would rise from bo
low. Thus he stood momentarily expect
ing that the terrible death would meet
him—stood tlius in agony which must be
imagined, as it is too strong for descript
ion. Ilow long the time was ho did not
know, but it seemed ages rather than
seconds, until asufficicnt time had elapsed
to introduce the hope thnt the blast would
not explode. This proved eventually to he
tho case, although he probably suffered a
dozen deaths before the fact became ap
parent. It utmost seems miraculous that
it did not; lint such most fortunately
proved to he tho case, and Mr. Norton
escaped a death almost too horrible to
think of.

A few years ago, there lived iu the
neighboring county of Cass, a lialiii', who
became enamoured of a young lady in bis
bailiwick, aud made proposals of mui--
ringe, which were uoceptcd. ltut when
the subject was broached lo her “fond
parient,” he most postively refused his
consent, aud prohibited any farther com
luuuicallou between the couple. ltut
“Villikius” was not to be bullied so easi

procured his License and ul midnight,
repaired to the appointed place of meet

however, the “parient” discovered the
plot, and looked up his disobedient daugh

of time, the truth began to break in upon
the “lovyers” mind, and ho departed.

I'nlittm Sleeitiig,
We learn from the Pittsburg Chronicle,
that for some lliu, past a house of ill-fame
has annoyed the cilii.us of a village ou
the line of (lie Cleveland and Columbus
rail road, and it was determined that the
house should be broken up. Ou Thurs
day night the Marshal of the village made
a descent upon the house, took th* iu
mate* in custody, and on .Monday morn
ing they were takeu before a magistrate
tor examination. There were three girls
among the prisoners, and as the rf* of
the magistrate fell upon one of them lie
grew deathly pale and hastily adjourned
the court. Among those wretched aud
abandoned girls he recugnilvd the once
fair leature, of his own daughter! Sever
al years before, while attending a female
Seminary in an Eastern State, she had
eloped with a worthless fellow, and the
lather had never heard of her or seen her
until that terrible morning. Deserted by
her husband, *hc adopted a life of pros
titution and found her way tu the West.
Her father, unknown to her, moved lo the
West and settled in the village above al

Invasion or Mexico Attempted!
The invading force captured by the United
Stales <iulf S'/uadrun and carried to New
Orleans—Full particulars.
Nf,w Orleans, March 20.—Eato advi
ces from Mexico Btato that Miramon com
menced the seige of Vera Cruz on the 6th
inst. On the oth, two steamers appeared
before the city, showing no colors. The
United States war vesaol, Saratoga, with
detachments from the Savannah and
I’rcble, in the steamers Indianola and
Wave, were ordered to proceed to the an
chorage of tho above mentioned steamers,
in order to ascertain their diameter.
Upon nearing the anchorage, off Anton
Ligardo, one of the strange stcumers
moved off, whoreupon a shot was fired to
bring her to; and the Indianola sent to
overhaul her.
The Indianola’s hail was answered by
a shot from the guns of tho steamer Mi
ramon, together with a volley of musket
ry. Whereupon tho Saratoga fired a
broadside, and the action became general.
Commodore Marin and his men were tak
en prisoners, and lire now on board of
the I’reble. Miramon had paid fifty-five
thousand dollars for the two vessels.
Commodore Marin’s steamers passed
by all the foreign squadrons, and by the
castle of San Juan D’Ulloa, without hoist
ing a flag, although ordered to do so by a
shot from tho castle, as well as by other
signals. Tho French, Spanish and Eng
lish vessels seemed to tako no notice of
the strange steamers, or of tho absence of
a national flag on each of them.
The Saratoga, towed by (he Indianola,
look Commodore Marin completely by
surprise.
The engagement took place by moon
light, and the steamers endeavored to es
cape, but failed in the attempt. Three
Americans were wounded—ono mortally.
The Mexican loss is reported as fifteen
killed, and thirty wounded.
When the action commenced, Marin
hoisted tho Spanish flag.
The prisoners taken corroborate the
report that the two steamers cleared from
Havana as merchantmen, and that the
Mexican flag was hoisted only after they
left that port. At the same time they al
so mounted six guns each.
secono dispatch.
Nf.w Orleans, March 21.—Marin’s
steamer returned the fire of the Saratoga,
and tried to escape. The Indianola pur
sued the Gen. Miramon, the latter fired
upon her, which was returned, and board
ed the Miramon at the pout of the bayo
net. A portion of the Indianola’s deck
was carried away by shot ; the Miramon
ran aground. The Saratoga brought the
Marquez to.
Tho Picayune is informed by French
prisoners on board the Prizes, that the
fighting was dono principally by officers,
who were obliged to charge and tilfcguns,
assisted only by Mexican officers from
shore. The two steamers liud two hun
dred and fifty men aboard; killed and
wounded, forty ; the former were thrown
overboard. The Wavo and Indianola each
had eighty men. The first engineer of
the Marquez, an American, was killed.
Com. Turner arsked Marin why he fired
on American vessels without provocation ;
Marin replied thut the men controlled ;
he knew the nationality of the Saratoga,
and understood her signals, but the men
fired contrary to his orders. Tumor re
plied, you are responsible for tho outrage.
It is stated that tho expedition cost
$300,000, mostly furnished at Havana by
Government, in accordance with a secret
article of the Almonte Treaty.
Miramon notified foreign vossels, that
ho would commence the bombardment of
Vera Cruz on the 13tli, and would not bo
responsible for damage done to shipping.
On the night of tho 13th tho officers on
deck of the steamer Miramon heard heavy
eaunouadiug iu the direction ofVeraCruz.
Six mortars, six twenty-four pounders
and two thousand stand of small arms
were captured with the two steamers ;*!
they were worth stio,ooo.
On tho third day out, the steamers
broke down and put into Sissal; the ma
terials wero stowed away below, out of
sight of the men who were forced into ser
vice, and ignorant of tho destination of
the expedition.
The New Orleans Delta publishes the
details of negotiations between the Brit
ish and Mexican governments. Lord
John Kussell proposes an armistice, gen
eral amnesty, and religious toleration ; if
this proposition was declined, Euglaud
must demand from both parties full in
