The Pre.lidc.nt--Calm and Collected—Hie Couneel- lore—The Cabinet—Mr. Clayton—The 1'rr.sident Favors the Compromise—Its Past and Present Prospect, Iff.. President Fillmore is ns cnlm as a summer's day, without its hent. He is composed,nod tranquil amidst the agitation around him. lie will act courteously and wisely and according to the dictates of a sound judgomont,. though not disregarding the advice of experienced and trusted friends, lie has bad Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay nud Mr. Vinton with him iu counsel. ty of complying with it. I do not think the matter is yet settlOil, so far as Mr. Webster's nssent ie con cerned. lie could not go into the office without sac rificing his lucrative proiossional practice, which, nt his'timo of life, he may bo expected to need theavails of. If he has auy aspirations for the Presidency— and he has us much right as any olie to entertain ana ne nas us muen right as any one to entertain them—they would be list ter promoted out of the Cabinet than in. Mr. Crittenden would accept, it is thought the post of Attorney General, which ne held under Harrison. The present Cabinet will be requested to remain for some short time. Some of thomare very glad of the chance thus to escape tho quandary in which they were placed between the House and tho late Presi dent. Mr. Clayton only teu days ago, urged the late President to permit him to retire, for the reason, as • he said, that neither his health nor habits of labor, suited him for the situation. But the President would not listen to the request. Mr. Ewing thinks it a hard case, no doubt, to bo dropped out of offioe a second time, by tho death of a whig President; and would, Itis said, gladly remain. But Mr. Fillmore cannot draw any invidious distinction between the Cabinet members, by refusing the resignaiion of ouo, and accepting that of another. The effect of Mr. Fillmore's accession to the Presl. deucy is decidedly favorable to the Compromise bill pending in the Senutc. It was known "to Mr. Clay, Mr. Cooper, Mr. King, Mr. Webster, and other Sena tors that Mr. Filluioro was in favor of the bill of the cominutee of thirteen ; and so some of them yester day stated. The natural influence of his opinion op the whig members, and especially in the House, will be ns effective as that of President Taylor was in support of Ills alternative plan. Some influences lately countervailing the Compromise will, at all e- venta, bo neutralized. On Tuesday morning, two hours before it was announced in the Senate that the President was in extremis, the adjustment bill was in doubtful condition,as follows:—There were 2V cer tainly for it, and 27 certainly against it. The fate at the bill depended on the course of Messrs. Berrien, King, Sebastian, Clarke and Greene. The two first named Sinatojaaiould not vote for the bill unless with amendments which could not be ob tained, without hazarding it in the House. If they declined voting at all, then it would require the votes of two of tho other three gentlemen to give it a majori ty. 29 !b 28. This showed the bill to be in danger, what effect the lute events may have upon it remains t° be seen. I ON . beds excited by a attempt, than that ned" by Rolln Har- t#" The intelligent correspondent of the Philadel phia Bulletin, in his letter of the llth inst, says: . Mrs. Taylor continues inconsolable. Her grief is terrible. She neither eats nor sleeps, but sits reek ing her misery as one totally unconscious of any oth er ieeliug. 'The ladies of the diplomatic bpdy, of the members oi the Cabinet, of our citzens, Hud of tho Congressmen, hive been unwearied in their soothing namiStraturns; but the dreqdl'ul calamity has caused a «M>Y/ul and profound to yield readily to sym- pathy, however intended, or by whom.

The contem plated victim was the wife of Harmon—young, am iable, industrious, and wedded to him but three months ago. She brought to her husband a hand some property ; and ft appears the destle on his part to have this to himself, waa the motive .ns the facts in evidence show, which moved him to plan the murder of his young wife. On Wednesday M ge. H. noticed a strangeness in the movements of her husband. He seemed wraptup in thought, and finally became round her, told her he wished ne was rid of her, and look ed at her ttxedly. , He afterwards plncgd his arms round her waist, and then round her uock, mid en deavored to coax her out the doors. He was perfect ly cool. He wished her to go out to the well, said the buck et had fallen in, thqt there was a whip! cloth at the bottom. She finally went out, but stood on the side of the curli opposite to him. But ho worked round, pushed her violently, and she narrowly escap ed being precipitated in. She then escaped to the house. Her husband was moody nnd silqnt. He did not go to bed at his usual houri but hung on, and wished her to go before him. She finally retired. Through tile night he never slept. He got up, went out of doors, nnd rolled bn the grass in tllodour yard, then went and rolled on the bed till daylight. Mrs. H. had no one to consult with, and the strange con duct of her husband bewildered her. His violence at the well he explained to bo done in jest, and lie ear nestly wished her to go out thereagain. She refused. Hi® artifices to entice her out, and his manceuvers to get his hired .nan out of the way, showed a cold- bloodcrLpei^verance in his purpose, unparalleled in the annals or crime. This was on Thursday moru- mng. The hired man was sent into the woods to hunt tho cattle. Mrs. H was engaged, as far as her feelings allowed her, in her household work, when her husband again wanted her to go out to the well, and, on her refusal, he seized hersuddenly—carried her out by main force, in spite of her struggles to escape the deuth to which she now felt he had doomed her. To stifle her cries, be placed his hand firmly on her mouth—his fingers and nails digging into, and holding on to the upper part ot her lace, and’lacerating her eyelids. He had her now at the well; but the death struggle was not over. He could not force her over the curb, Sud* denly, he kicked away the curb, and plunged her headlong down the well—thirty feet. The water was about three feet deep. He looked down, and saw that Mrs. Ilarmon was alive. She had turned in her descent, and was standing there with the water to her waist. He now called to her, and wished to draw her out. She spoke—she feared it was but to throw her in again. He then went to the barn, and procur ed the cords used in tying up the cattle. Mrs. H. was at »ffth drawn, up alive; her husband had not ac complished his purpose, and now he was anxious for her to change her clothes. The hired man arrived at this juncture, and was told by H. that Mra. H. had fallen into the well. He shortly left and went to his brother’s—returned, and harnebsed his horses—said he was going to have them shod. The situation of Mrs. H. was dreadful—dread fully bruised, her face bleedfng, suffering from so 8**. eata flbock, and dreading worse. She went out ot the house, and through the green, and over the fences, to Mr. Parker’s, at whose door she fainted. It was long before she recovered and could tell what she suflered, and what she had escaped. Parker went over soon after to Harmon’s—found him cool ana collected, and had some conversation with him about the crops P. alluded to the accident; and H. assured him it was a sad accident. Upon complaint made to S. G. Thurber, a warrant was issued. Har- mon was arrested and kept in custody through the night; but he escaped from the person in charge, took to the woods, and was not retaken till alter a long search. He drew a knife on Benson, who first discovered his hiding place, and threatened to rip him up.” He waa secured ; Ilia examination has been hofnm Vnnnivn r rv.,,—v m m_ before Esquire Thurber, of Kingsville, and he la committed to the county jail, on the charge ot an aaaBult with intent to kill. His bail was fixed at$8,00. Mra. H. lies in a precarious state, at her father's house, in Kingsville.—Ashtabula (Ohio) Tel egraph, June 22. -WEDNESDAY. JULY 17, 1850. f-- ' -- Furious, Animal. . On Monday afternoon, a wild kteer broke, out of anincloaurc on the Thunderbolt Road, nnd dashed through several of our streets at a furious speed. When In South Broad street near the common, he attacked a lady, who fortunately escap ed with slight damage to her dress, and tile fright which the attack occasioned. Mr. M.

After considera ble exertion, the steer was captured and shot. Mr. Fillmore and the South. The Richmond Enquirer, in commenting on tho ldt» ters oi Mr. Fillmokf., extracts from whiuh we pub; liabed yesterday, alludes to Other expreassions of opinion by that gentleman, which had escaped our memory. The Enquirer admits that the Albany let ters ate very good as far as they go, but adds: “The correspondence leaves the other odious opin ions of his fatuous Erie letter, viz: in favor of abol ishing slavery iu the District Of Columbia, and in fa. vor at excluding the South from the territories, totally unracanted and in full force. “Wcculmly, but in fear, awiiit a formal proclamation of bis opinions, in hissiow position, and in thepi esent critical state ot tho Country. Let him-cali around him a new, able and patriotic cabinet, and pursue a just and liberal coursd—und lie*will save the Union. Butlethim adhere to]his former opinions and asso ciations, and yield to- the pressure from the Norih, at once the Union is snapped into fragments.” It ia said that Mr. Fillmore's viewa have under gone a muterlal change on the Suntheru question since its recent agitation in Congress, and that he is anxious that itshould be amicably settled. Itis known that he is unfriendly to Seward, and thathe is favorable to the passage 'df Mr. Clay’s Compro mise hill. Many sensible and patriotic men of the North, becoming convinced that further pres sure against the South on this question would be fatal to the Union, haVe manifested a deter mination to take high con-Aitutional ground and tQ resist the spirit of - fanaticism and dentagogu- ism which hus sodght to control the political action of the country. VVe still entertain a hope, and the intelligence from Washington, is such os to encourage that hope, that Mr. Fillmore will meet the expectations, of good men of all sections, and thatto his wisdom and patriotism, the country will owe the amicable settlement of this vexed question and the re-establishment ot the national harmony and concord.

The Caot’3 in Alai Asia.—The Greenville SoiMh Alabamian of the 13th inst says—Owing to the heavy rains with which we have been visited, the crops, both of corn and cotton, have been seri msly injured In thia section. More titan a bare average crop cannot be expected. Accounts from Sumpter and Greene counties, in the same state, are less favorable. The boll worm has appeared in some sections at least a month earlier than ever before, and threatens the entire destruction of the cotton crop, which, owing to the heavy ruins, is very backward. The corn crop also promises to be short, owing to the unfavorable weather, and the ravages of the cut worm iu the early part of tho sob sou. " ' A® regards the operations of the new Administra- tiou, I have nothing positive to Rdd to my fast. Mr. Webster is still mentioned in connection with thi, ^ „ connection with the State Department, but Mr. Fillmore’s Free Soil friends atrermously object. They require that the Department shall go into the hands nfone of tliffir own faction- but from all accounts, Mr. F. is inclined to do as he pleases. His views have undergone material change —rj since his election, In regard to his anti-slavery doc- triae, and he will be found worthy tho confidence of-the majority of both sections. In the subordl nate posts, a great many changes maybe expected, especially in the South and Northwest. The foreign diplomatic body will be almost wholly changed— But here permit me to predict, that if Mr. Webster is chosen for the State Department, Mr. Abbot Law rence will be retained as Minister to Great Britain President Fillmore is determined to select his Cabin- ©t with judgment. Attorney Gen. Johnson would • h ® not unfortunately mixed up with the Galpbm business ; but all the rest (Mr. Col- b “‘!R must go. Again, the influence nt Seward and Mr. Benton terminates nt this point. Mr. Benton has been at variance with the acting Exec utive, and cannot hope to act longer behind tFie "cui - tidn. Indeed to sum up, the old regency is wholly dissolved, scattered nnd disbanded. ‘ To-day Mr. Fillmore called around hinianumbor oi his immediate friends, and has taken council with them in reference to these selections; but the public will learn nothing of hia final intentions until Monday •next. The South wenr smiling faces, for some cause unexplained, while the North look equally pleased - I now aliude to politicians and Cabinet-makers; as for the mosses, the wing of death has swept by too recent] v to allow a thought of this kind. The organ of “the Administration will, (the know declare,) be the National Intelligenc er, and il ing ones declare,) be the National lntelligenc-er, and if not the Intelligencer, that the Republic will go into other hands. , ST Gov. Johnson has demanded of Gov. Fish (the Star says) the person of Moses Y. Bench, thnt ho may be tried, on the Lehigh County Bank busmens. The Pennsylvania officer is said to be in Albany, awaiting Gov. F ish's decic ion. Steamboat Casualties in 1850—A list of tho steam" boat casualties, und the losses of life by them during the present year, is published in the St. Louis Union of the 3rd. There have been sixty-seven boats lost by being blown up, collisions, fire, snagged &c, causing the loss of four hundred and sixty-one lives, and a number of persons injured and scalled, besidea loss of property. Strange Incident.—VVe were informed a few day' ag j, of a very singular incident which happened to a colored boy at a carpenter’s shop in the upper part of Fayetteville. The young men at work in the shop were making a coffin, and called in a colored boy who was passing along, to get into tho coffin to see if it would fit him ; and he asking them who they were making i t for, they told him jocosely, forhim, when in fact it waa bespoke for opolher person. When the coffin was taken to tho corpse it was made lor the- body had swelled so much, it wds impossible to get it into it, and the coffin was taken back,und a box made. In a few days the prophetic joke 'became realized ; for the boy died and was buried in that coffin. A' Cnrn l i n imt * Hon. W. H.
