There is a law in Pennsylvania that requires the
jS nks in that State, east of the mountains to keep
siieir notes at par in Philadelphia, and those west
| c the mountains, in Pittsburg. Judge Pearson,
f Harrisburg, a few days ago, decided that under
ae law notes of a bank are at par whenever they
:,re equal to gold and silver for ordinary purposes.
f:.<- phrase “ at par,” he holds, does not mean that
a- paper must be received in the custom house, at
:he city banks, or by the brokers. If the notes are
in valent to gold and silver for all ordinary busi
ness transactions, they are at par within the true
intent and meaning of the act.

The following are the cardinal points of the ]
: eumeiv.s accompanying the President's Message, j
relation to our affairs with Great Britain :
Mr. Marev, in June of 1854, declares, in a de-
I ■■ catch to Mr. Buchanan, that this Government '
i .a never yield to the British pretension that the j
[ .ayton-Bulwcr Treaty was only prospective in its I
i eration. After some spicy diplomatic censure ■
| t his conduct in this negotiation, lie closes by de- j
[ wing that if Great Britain persists in holding
j xaatan in defiance of all right, we shall know her '
purpose in holding it simply as a naval and mili- ;
j titry station is to affect injuriously our interests.
[ A predetermination to interfere with our affair,
f s manifested, will render the continuance of j
[ ir amicable relations with her precarious. Mr. ;
| B ichanau’s discussion of this entire question is !
| very able and thorough.
(in tlte fith of August last, Mr. Marev again ■
I eyes the immediate settlement of this question,
l before Mr. Buchanan should retire from London, s
'u.l the latter is instructed to ask Great Britain, !
|; 'i 'inetly, whether she intends to insist on hold
i and to insist on her abandoning her j

I he Great Seal ol' the United. States.
At the late annual meeting of the New York
Historical Society, held on the 2d inst., Mr. Bexj.
J. Losstno read a very interesting paper on the
“ Great Seal of the United States.” The reader
prefaced his remarks by an interesting account of the
history of seals and armorial bearing in Europe
and in Great Britain down to the present time.
Prior to the Revolution, the seals of the Colo
nies were supplied b v the mother countrv. ’ In the
.Summer of 1778, the Continential Congress ap
pointed Dr. Franklin, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson to prepare a design for a seal of the Uni
ted States of America. The views of the three
upon the subject were contained in a letter written
by John Adams to his wife. The subject was more
extensively treated of by Mr. Jefferson in a letter i
and a drawing, in which he adapted some of Dr. ■
Franklin’s views, of the escutcheon proposed bv i
Jefferson, was shown to the society. Their plans !
were never adopted—more important business pro- !
bablv being before the Congress to prevent action
upon tiie subject. The matter was agaiu taken up I
in 1780, when it was referred to another committee I
which made two reports. In 1782 the subject was !
referred to Charles Thompson, the Secretary of i
Congress, who called to his assistance a Mr. Bar
ton, who, on the 20th of June, 1782, submitted a
device which was adopted and has been used ever
since. Mr. Lossiug said that it was doubtful
whether the idea of the device submitted by Bar
ton was original with him, as a letter written by
Thomas Barrett, an eminent antiquarian of Matt- j
Chester, England, in 1818, states that Sir John j
Prestewitch informed him that he had originally I
suggested the device to an American Minister in i
England. The Minister was John Adams, who was I
then there and who was a member of the commit- j
tee originally appointed by the Empress on the j
subject.
A motion of thanks was voted to Mr. Lossing
for his interesting paper, and a copy of the same
was requested for publication.
From the We it Point Beacon, Jan. 5.
Senator Douglas.
The health of this distinguished gentleman,
which for a long time has been so feeble as to oc
casion great anxiety on the part of his friends and
countryman everywhere, we rejoice to learn by the
following letter, addressed to a gentleman lately
in our midst, is improving, and that he hopes to be
able in a jew weeks to resume his seat in the Se
nate of the United States;
Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 18. j
J ly Dear Sir: Your kind letter of September j
has followed me from place to place, during my
canvass, and at last overtook me on mv sick bed !
in this place. It would have afforded mo very !
great pleasure to have attended the meeting, pro- I
posed to be had at Atlanta, if I could have spared
the time from my labors in the Northwest.
I certainly rejoice as much as yourself at your ;
glorious triumph in Georgia. A triumph equally j
decided and brilliant awaits us at the I’residentia! j
election, if we are true to ourselves and our princi- j
pies. We must make no compromise with the j
enemy—no concession to the allied isms—no co- ’
alitiohs with factions, but fight and crush all the i
enemies of the State Rights and Constitutional !
liberty, under whatever banner they may rally.
My health is improving, and I hope to be able to |
proceed to Washington in a few weeks.
Very respectfully, S. A. Docolas.

Mr. Mason moved that ten thousand copies bo
printed by the printer to the Senate of the last
Congress.
A discussion ensued as to the power of the Sen
ate to take such action since it would, t'as was con

the law of the last session relative to the public
printers. The resolution, however, was adopted.
House.- Mr. Mace offered a resolution that the
acting Door-keeper of this House be requested to
lock all the doors leading to this hall mstanter;
aud keep them securely fastened till a Speaker be
elected, unless opened for the admission of absent
members. (Laughter.)
Mr. Mace said that they had ecclesiastical prece
dent for this in the election of a Pope (laughter) to
succeed Clement IV, in 1068. The cardinals had
been, for nearly three years, unable to agree on the
choice of a successor, and were on the point of
breaking up, when the magistrates of Rome, bv
advice of St. Benjamin, shut the gates of the city,
locked up the cardinals tills they agreed.
On motion of Mr. Boyce, the resolution was tabled,
and the House again proceeded to vote; Banks
102; Richardson 73; Fuller 33; Pennington 6;
Scattering 5; necessary to a choice 110.
Nhw Haven, Jan. 2.—A double murder was, yes
terday, committed near Woodbridge, by Charles
Sandford, an insane man, whose nephew is one of

of the recent murder of Mathews. Sandford s first
victim was Enoch Sperry, brother of N. L>. Sperrv,
Secretary of State. The maniac chopped off Ills
head with an axe, while he was riding home in a
sleigh. The second victim was Ickabod Umber
field, a farmer, whom Sandford killed with an axe
in his own house. The murderer is now in prison,
where he is constantly muttering a senseless jargon
of prayer.
Pittsburgh, Jan. 2. —Last night, about 11 o’clock,

bo attached to him.

Axecdote of tub sew Chvpl.vis.— The Rev.
' Henry Clay Dean, the present chaplain to the Uni- j _
U-o States Senate, was some vears ago a resident | i
of Northwestern Virginia. While preaching one j
day at a church situated a few miles from Fair- i K.
mount, he was annoyed by the inattention of his > al
! congregation as manifested in turning their heads j M
t > see everybody who came in. “Brethren,” said he, bi
j “ it is very difficult to preach when thus interrupt- j
i ad. Now, do you listen to me, and I will tell you j
'he name of every man as he enters the church." j
| " course this remark attracted universal aften- , J
{Presently some one entered : “ Brother
William Satterfield!” called out the preacher, ! C i
while that '“brother” was astonished beyond mea- j tl
sure and en deavored in vain to guess what was j ,i
; the. matter. P e ” on came y ‘"- brother -
1 Miller' bawled tho preachr with a like g
1 result ■ and so, perhaps, in other cases. After a
while the congregation was amazed at hearing the f
i preacher call out In a loud voice \ A little old j
man with a blue coat and white hat on ! Don’t j ■
know who he is! You may look for yourselves.’ I ’

Commencement is held on the last Wednesday
in July. The regular College Course requires font
years for the degree of A. B. Those wishing to do
so, may omit the Languages, and pursue a scien
tific course of three years.
Having been originally designed for the educa
tion of young men preparing for the Gospel Minis
try, this Institution keeps that object steadily in
view. The Seminary embraces a three years’ course
of such studies as are pursued in the most celebra
ted Theological Seminaries in our country.
The Academy is kept under an experienced
Teacher, and has been established with special ref
erence to fitting pupils to enter College.
The price of Board in the Yillnge is SIO.OO per
month; washing, room-rent, fuel, Ac., $3.00.
The next Term commences on the first day- of
February next, 1850.
With a full and able Faculty, students are with
confidence invited- to the usual benefits of our best
Institutions, with the special advantages of a loca
tion removed from the tempations and vices of
towns.
