New York, June 6.—lt is reported
that a duel has been fought between
two gentlemen of this city, named Leaven
worth and Breckenr dge, resulting in the
death of the former, and severe wounding
of the latter. It is stated that Leaven
worth was the challenger, owing to offen
sive remarks made at the
Shakespeare Club.
Henry Ward Beecher calls Garrison
“my dear brother Garrison,” and Garrison
publishes a communication in his Liberator,
in which lie says, “If God has the power to
abolish slavery, and does not, he is a very
great scoundrel.” It is evident that some
thing else needs abolishing bes ides slavery.

Buffalo, June s.—Mr. Masten, the
regular democratic candidate, is elected
judge, over Houghton, the know nothing
candidate, by two thousand majority.
....An ingenius chemist has sent a
bottle of London fog to the Paris Exhibi
tion, as a specimen of the raw material.
Commencing Late.— On the recent,
election day in Virginia, a resident of
Hampshire c.runty,aged 88 years, cast his
/irs/vote; and the Romney Intelligencer
states that he gave it for Mr. Wise.
.... The Mobile Advertiser says that
ripe peaches were offered for sale in that
city on Monday last. The Advertiser
adds that they had a lamentable appear
arfee of premature age, as if their growth
qad been stimulated by unnatural means.
The Governor of Arkansas has ap
pointed James M. Brown Swamp Land
Commission, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Col. Noland.
Brevet Capt. Schuyler Hamilton,

Frost in New York. — The Albany Eve
ning Journal says there was a pretty se
vere frost in the central part of the State
of New York on the night of the 2Gth ult.
....We clip the following paragraph
in regard to the spread of Mormonism in
Texas, from the State Gazette-.
The counties of Leon and Madison are
still the scene of Mormon excitement, and
we are sorry to say, that the Mormon
[ireachers are not without success. We
earn that several men and women have
joined the new church, and that they are
fully impressed with the belief that the
“strong in the faith ” can cure the disea
ses, heal the wounded, give sight tp the
blind, and that they can speak in unknown
tongues. They are very zealous and swal
low the plurality of wives, and every othei,
monstrosity, as sound djetrme and good
example to society. We would not be
surprised to find some missionaries at Aus
tin shortly.
.... Something new was learned by New
York State Engineers, in the use of the
first locomotive run upon the Copiapo Rail
Road.in Chili, South America. This was,
that there is water whose boiling is quite
as much a process of making stone, as one
of generating steam.' They were aston
ished down there to observe the difficulty
of getting up steam, within a week after .
•the engine was put upon the road. The
machine soon become nearly useless Ou
examination, a deep deposite of stone, hard
enough on its lower side to scratch glass,
• was discovered upon the sides and bottom
of the boiler and its flues. Tests, chemi
cally applied, showed that it was composed
of magnesia, carbonate of lime, and earth
ly matter. Subsequentobservationsproved
that the water or the country deposited
this scale in steam boilers at the rate of
one quarter of an inch per week. To ob
viate this great, difficulty the Rail Road
Company was obliged to distil sea water
for the use of their locomotives.—Charles
ton Courier.
... .The defeat of the abolitionists in
the election held in Kansas on the 22d
ult., has had the effect to allay all excite
ment on the slavery question in that re
gion, and the people of the Territory, ac
cordingto the intelligence recently receiv
ed, had dropped politics and taken to
their ordinary occupations. In Nebraska,
the proscriptive action of the emigrant
aid faction had aroused a spirit of resis
tance, and wo hear .of public mootings
being held, resolutions passed and address
es published, advocating the establishment
of a slave State in the Southern portion
of that Territory. In fact several families
have gone there already with their slaves, ■
and there they intend to remain.—Charles
ton Courier.
Friend Hooper, of the Mail, dis
courses thus about Samuel’s misfortunes iu
Virginia:
“Samuel? Samuel!”—Sam isdecidedly
down in the mouth to day. He evidently
thinks that his bread & butter has eluded his
graspand fallen into thedirt. We shall ’not
go so far as to say that, like other truculent
youths in fits of disapointment, he weeps
aud says bads words, but it is patent that
he makes “ugly faces” and is ill content
with himself and the world at largo. Vir
ginia was his bread aud butter—nay, his
slice of plum-cake—and lo! a bigger boy
[with an “unwashed” face] hath taken it*
away. Sam yet swears quoad the cake,
that he a trill have it,’ ride the Journal of
this morning] when in point of fact he
kuows full well that he can’tj;ft it. This
is silly. Sam is a big boy, and he must’
behave. He is a spoiled boy, too; he has
been indulged too much and he “takes on
“ about his first considerable reverse.
The eobler who tried to kill Napoleon
has been tried, convicted and condemned
but without extracting from him any par
ticulars as to his motive or his co-conspira
tors It has been discovered that he was
in London when Louis Napoleon was
there, and that measures . were taken to
effect the object during his passage from
the palace to the Mansion House, but hap
ily they were frustrated. Pianori exhita
ited no feeling at the trial. His expref
sion was one of decision, -but calm, and
rather sorrowful His face was pale,
probably its natural color, but did not ap-
Sear disturbed by passion or fear. Two
ays after his conviction, he signed an
appeal to the Court of Cassation, which
would be decided on the llth or 12th.—
It was said that he had agreed to sign a
SMtiticn for pardon, and hence it Was in
err «d that he could make disclosures.
INSECTS INJURIOUS AND BENEFICIAL TO VEGETA
TION.
Mr. Mason, Commissioner of Patents,
has had employed Mr. Townsend Gloyer
an artist and naturalist of distinction, for
the purpose of investigating the habits of
the insects injurioustud beneficial to err
and illustrating the same with the view oi
describing them with the remedies for
their diminution or destruction, and all
other information on the subject, in the
agricultural reports. He has recently left
for Florida, where lie will pass several
months, studying the insects pernicious or
beneficial to rice, tobacco, sugar cane, or
ange, and the cotton plant, and also to dis
cover the cause and remedy, if practicable,
of the white rot in the live oak. Mr.
Glover has been engaged daring the year
past in watching the operations of the rice
and cotton insects in the Carolinas, Geor
gia, and Alabama, the corn and grain in-
the Middle and Nortb<r.i States,
and the insects attacking vines and fruit
trees in general, as well as numerous in
sects beneficial to the farmer. Many of
the insects referred to he has engraved
on stone, which are now in progress, of
printing, and will illustrate the next agri
cultural report. As this subject is onp of
unusual interest, and will tend to the ben
efit-of all section of the Union, we trust
the indefatigable efforts of this gentleman
will receive the hearty co-operation of the
agriculturists throughout the coitntry, and'
I his labors be crowned with success.—

THE CUT AND WIRE WORMS.
The white grub or cut worm has been
very destructive in my corn-field and also
the wire worm. Year before last they
came so thick that I could pick a handful
from the furrow in going four rods. So
soon after planting, and before the corn
was up I put on every - hill about a gill of
ashes, lime and salt, mixed together, The
compost was in proportion a bushel of ash-'
es, a peck of lime, and four quarts of salt: i
My corn camo up looked fine, and at the
first hoeing scarcely a hill was touched by
the grub. They worked a little after, but
did not destroy ten hills to the acre. If
any are likely to be troubled the present
season, I would advise them to try this.

SCENE AT THE GATE OF PARADISE.
A poor tailor being released from this
troublesome world and a sc Iding wife,
appealed at the gate ot Paradise.
“Peterasked him if he had ever been to
purgatory ?”
“No,” said the tailor, “but I have been
married.”
“Oh,” said Peter, “that is all the
same.”
The tailor had scarcely got in -before • a
fat turtle eating aldermau-came puffing
and blowing.
“Hallo, there, you fellow,” said he,
“open the door.”
“Not so fast,” said Peter, “have you
ever been to purgatory?”
“No,” said the aiderman, “but what is
it to the purpose? You let in that- halt
starved tai'or, and he has been no more
to purgatory than I have ”
“ But he has been married,” said Pe
ter.
“Marri dI” exclaimed the
“I have been married twice.”
“Then please go back again,” said Pe
ter ; “paradise is no place for fools.”
9®“ When Dr. Rush was a young man.
he was invited to dine in company with
Robert Morris, a man celebrated for the
part he took in .the,Am trican Revolution,
that the company had wai r
ted sometime for Mr.-Morris, who, on his
appearance, apologized for detaining them
ly saying he had been engaged in reading
a sermon of a'clergyman who had just gone
England to receive orders.
“Well, Mr. Morris,” said the Doctor,
“how did you like the sermon ? I have
heard it highly extolled.’’
“Why, Doctor,’’ said he, “I did not
like it at all. It’s too smooth and tame for
me.”
“Mr. Morris,” replied thcDoctor, “what
sort a sermon do you like ?”
“1 like,sir,” replied Mr. Morris, “that
kind of preaching which drives a man in
to the corner of his pew, and makes him
think the devil’s after him.”
THE RUST IN WHEAT-
An old farmer —an inteli.ent friend who
was cultivating the soil successfully years;
and years ago, informs the editor of the
Fayetteville Observer that llust in Wheat
need not be feared before the last of this
month. Watch closely, ami as soon as it
appears, commcnee cutting—don’t delay
but begin at once—and the Rust, will die
in one hour from the time the Whe it falls.
The nutritive juoes in the stalk will rush
to the heads, and the grain thus m inaged
will be nearly as good, if not quite, as that
which is left standing to arrive at maturity
undisturbed by Rust. The informant
] speaks from experience. One year he lost
: his entire crop ip consequence of the rav
ages of thh Rust; during another, he saved
it by the course here indicated.
Corn.-—An ide has been advanced by a
friend who has tried it, wtich to us is
new Here it is: After harvesting the
Gats, if yeti need more feed than they af
ford, sow the field iu Corn, and drill it in
let it. Our informant says that this food
is decidedly better than Oats, and what is
j more, the stock prefer it Those to whom
Iwe have mentioned it to think the plan a
good one. It is worth a trial; particular
I ly if the indications eontinu- to point toa
| short Oat crop.— Fayetteuille Observer. •
Six Degrees of Crime —Who steals
a million is only a financier Who steals
a half million is only a defaulter. Who
steals a quarter of n million is a swindler.
Who steals a hundred a rogue.
’ Who steals fifty thousand is a knave. But
he who steals a pair of boots or a .loaf of

-Wouldn’t you call this the calf of

‘No,’ replied Jim, ‘I should rather say,

I “This is the age of reason,, my son,’’

JOHN RANDLOPH OF ROANOKE.
Scarcely anything more characteristic
. of Mr. Randolph is recorded of him in
any of his biographies, than in the follow
r ing inckleut. which occurred on the m'orn
f ing he was to leave for England, on his
last visit to'that country 'lhe steamer
1 was awaiting to convey passengers when
r his friend calls upon him
I I ‘ Randolph,” he says, “in the name of
>1 Heaven, what is the matter! Do you
I knoifr that it is nearly - ten o'clock and that
1 the steamboat waits for nobody? Why,
i-1 you are not even dressed yet.
“I can’t help it, sir,’’ replied he, “I’m
. all confusion this morning; everything
goes wrong; even my memory has gone a
. woolgathering. lam just writing a fare-
- well address to my constituents, and I’ve
forgotten the exact woids of a quotation
. fiom the Bible, which 1 want to use, and
. as I quote correctly, cannot clpse my letter
until 1 find the passage; but, strange to
say, I forgot both the chapter and the
verse. I never was in fault before, sir.
What shall I do?’’
“Do you remember any part of the
quotation ? asked his friend, “perhaps 1
can assist you with the rest.”
“It begins,” said ho, with “how have I
loved thee, oh—, but for the life of me 1
can’t recollect the nexj words. Oh, my
head ! There do you take the Bible and
run. over that page while lam writing the
1 remainder of mp address.’’
“My dear sir,” was the reply, “you
have no time to do this now; let us take
the letter, Bible and all on board the stea
mer, where you will have time enough to
find the passage you want before we reach
the packet.”
After a great deal of hesitation and re
luctanc ■, and after much expostulation,
'the proposition was agreed to.
A .rather cruel test of the affection of'
I his servant John was tried on the occasion
referred to. John had in some way offen
ed his master that morning; and as he was
j preparing the trunks, Mr. Randolph said
I to him.. ,
“Finish that trunk, at once, John, and
take, it down to the steamboat, and on
your return, take passage in the Philadel
phia; call on Mr. , in Arch street, and
tell him that 1 have sailed; then go to Bal
timore, call on. Mr. , , in Monument
Place, and say that J shall write to him
from Loudon; thence proceed to Washing
ton, pack up the trunks at my lodging,
take them with you to Roanoke, and re
port yourself to my overseer-”
After a pause, he added in a sarcastic
tone:
“But you need not obey them, unless
you choose to do so. You can, if you pre
fer it, when you arrive at Philadelphia,
call on the Manumission Society, and
they will make you free; and I shall
never look after you. Do you hear
sir ?”
Vhis unjust aspiration of John’s love
was too much for the faithful fellow; his
cheek swelled, his lips quivered, his eyes
filled, and he replied in great agita
tion :
“Massa John, this is is too hard I I
don't deserve it. You know that I love
you better than any one else, and you
will find me at Roanoke when you come
back I”
“I felt my blood rising,” said Mr Ran
dolph’s friend, and e I could not avoid say
ing:
“Well, Mr. Randolph, I could not have
believed, this, if I had not seen it I thought
you had more cotnpwioi for your slaves.
Surely you are unjust in this case; you
have punished hitn severely enough by
leaving him behind you, without hurting
his feelings. You have made the poor
fellow cry, Mr. Randolph.”
“What 1” said lie with true emotion,
“does he shed tears ?”
“He does,” I replied, “and you see
them yourself.”
“Then,” said Mr. Randolph, “he shall
go with me. John take down your bag
gage. and let us forget what has pass
ed.”
‘ I was irritated, sir,” he added turn
ing to me, “I thank you for the re
buke.”
Thus ended the singular scene between
Randolph and his servant. John instant
ly brightened up —soon forgot.his master's
anger —and, in a very few moments,
was on his way to the boat, perfectly hap

BURNING OF STEAMER KEYSTONE.—LOSS OF
LIFE.
We had, a few days ago, a brief an
j nounccment by telegraph, of the destruc-
I tion of the steamboat Keystone State by
I fire. The St. Louis Republican of Suu
j day last, furnishes the following particu
lars of the disaster. It appears that four
I lives were lust:
” he steamer Keystone State was burnt
I at Florence, a landing on the Illinois river
Thursday night last, between twelve and
i one o’clock. Thefireoriginatedimniediate
i ly aft of the boilers, among some freight
stored in the engine room, and spread with
such rapidity as to baffle the energies of
' the crew in their endeavors to quell it.—
I The flames soon enveloped the lower
i deck, and before the passengers, who
were sleeping in the after part of the cab
( in, were aroused to a sense of their danger
| had bursted into the cabin and encircled
i the light wood work about mid-hips of the
I boat, thus cutting off all retreat byway ot
the stage plank. Fortunately but few
< passangers were on the boat, otherwise the
. loss of life would have been great. As it ,
was, we regret to say, four human beings !
found an untimely death. Mrs Greene,
a lady passenger, and wife of Dr Greene,
:' of Bellville, jumped overboard and was
i i drowned The stewards of the boat—the
> first named Benjamin Quills, and the se
cond named Aaron Stockton, as also the
. chc.mb- rmnid. named Emily Austin, all
: free colored persons, are missing, and sup-
I posed to be drowned or burnt.
. The Keystone State has been afloat i
i about four years, was recently purchased
■ for the Illinois river trade, and valued at j
: $15,000. She was commanded by Capt. I
Ruggles, and owned by himself aud Capt.'
' Willard—the latter having the largest
'. interest in her value. e did not ascer
-1 tain whether or not she was insured j
■ She had on board at the time of the ca
' laiuity about 5,000 sacks grain, and 500
barrels whiskey, park. &c. Her books
f and papers were all destroyed. ,
s The e was great consternation among
• the passengers; several ladies who jumped
overboard were rescued by the crew of the
, boat, among whom we hear of Mrs. Ma
si pies who, when taken from the water,
was insensible from fright and exhaustion
- but we are glad to hear was soon resusci
, I tated.

0 won’t dr>w hi b.eaih for fear that he’ll
lose the interest.
THE EL DORADO OUTRAGE.
■' The late debate in the Spanish Cortes.
;in relation to America, is reported more
at length in the papers received by yester
day’s mail. A very important part is the.
public declaration by the Spanish Minister
of foreign Affairs’in regard to the affair ol
the El Dorado, and others, of which this
country has made such strong complaint,
the Spanish Government never intended
to exercise the right of search, and his
statement that our Government is alrea
|dy undecieved in this respect. We infer
that official disclaimers have made which
are satisfactory to our Government, and
that the conduct of Spanish officials, who !
have assumed to interrupt American ve.-sel
in the Gulf, will be disavowed of M. Lu-;
zuriaga are :
In (the American Government) is in
formed already of the instructions which
our cruisers had received beforehand from
the Governor, Capta n, General of Cuba,
which prescribed that they should abstain
from that'class of requisitions, and should
limit themselves to observe those vessels
which might come towards the Havana
and to escort or follow the suspicious ones I
until they should cuter the jurisdictional !
waters of our territory— a right nnques
tionable-and unquestioned. Consequent- :
ly, the whole question comes to be reduced ,
to the appreciation of the fact, which may j
indeed, be interesting to the officer of the j
Ferrolana, but but which leaves the Gov- i
eminent well covered. The latter has not I
wished or intended to exercise the right of I
visit, which is what might have complica- j
ted the question.
The case is thus narrowed down to an
inquiry into the conduct of the Spanish
officers for interrupting American vessels.
The right to arrest or interrupt them on
tfie high seasis renounced in the most ex
plicit terms, and the right to stop and ex
amine them expressly restricted to waters
within the jurisdiction of Spain.
The Spanish Government has thus ad
mitted the wrong-doing of its officers, and
confesses the right of United States to re
paration—part of which the speech of M
Luzuriaga intimates will fail upon the
commanding officer of the ojjending
ship.
It is a curious proof of the diversities
of opinion, if it may not be described as
a proof of the perversities of the human
mind, that a good many journals in this
country defended the aggression upon the
El Dorado as an act justifiable in the ex
ercise of a lawful i ight of self defence,
while the Spanish Government has pub-:
licly disclaimed such interpolation for
itself.

’speech from the gallqws.
James Parks, who was executed at
Cleveland, Ohio, on Friday, for the mur
der of a man named Beatson, made quite
a long speech from the gallows. Refer
ring to his family he said :
I have a dear wife, who has, in my long
confinement been an angel in her soli i
tude and care of me. I had never known
her virtues, had it not been for my sad
misfortunes. I leave a dear infant, who
has been tauirht to clasp its arms around
my neck, and whom 1 love dearly. I
leave aged parents, now near eighty years
old, from whose kind hearts I had hoped
to keep the sad news of the ignominious
fate of their son. (Here his voice faltered,
and he burst into tears,) It wqs for the
sake of all these that I attempted yester
day to shorten my life a day.
When Lam taken hence gite my body
to my wife. I commend her and tbe
child to you Let her not suffer in want !
Here some kind person proposed to ex
press the feelings of those present, by'
taking up’a contribution, and it was done |
on the spot; and 544 60 was contributed, i
On seeing it. Parks seemed moved by the'
kindness, aud thanked them with eousid-1
erable emotion. He concluded by declar
ing bis innocence, and gave the signal for i
. his execution, by dropping a handker-
I chief.
| The New York Evening Post has
been authorized to say that there is no
truth in the story of Tom Thumb's mar
riage. The lady to whom it has been alle

Hurley’s Compound Syrup of Sasaparilla.
This preparation is extensively known through
out the United States as one of the l>est remedies
fur dyspepsia, indigestion, fever and ague, and a
thousand other diseases which fl?sh is h“ir to ;>
besides recommended by our most talented phy
sicians. We remember the time.very wuli, and
not very long ago, when this excellent medicine
was first noticed through the press. It had at
that time gained a wide spread reput 'tion f»r its
many cures; and certificate after certificate pour
ed in from nearly every State in the Union
Those were*not like many others
that we see daily through public journals, and
attached to patent medicine p imphlrts, but rpal
genuine affidavits, sworn to before ti e justice ol
the peace. This tel’s more than volumes, for
the qualities of this excellent syrup. In order to
give our readers a further view in this matter, we
took o'c-sion to visit the manufacturing estab
lishment of Mr. Hurley the other,day from which
we gleamed the following descript.on: Mr.
Thus. A. Hurley’s manufactory is situated on the
corner of Green A Seventh streets ; entrance on
Green street. Visit the establishment hhen you
please, you will fin.i a large pile oi squ ire boxes
each containing one doz *n bottles, prepared and
ready for shipping. On both sides of his sa'cs
room his shelves arc arranged in the neatest man
ner, on which are displayed drugs and medieines
of all denominations. On passing through the
ware room we enter the manufactory. Here we
, find a row in which are steeped
! the sarsaparilla ruot ground up line, and satura
ted with first proof alcohol. From here the root
is taken and pia< ed in a large vat, on which de
scends a pow< r press of great weight until t!.e
sap or juice is ail pressed into a large cooler be
neath. in which it remains long enough to settle,
it is mixed with other vegitable and chemical pre
parations, and. all put into a large cauldron to
boil. From the cau dron it is taken and put into
large casks, where it remains for several days,
before being bottled up. 8o great is the demand
for this excellent preparation at present, that Mr.
Hurlpy has been compelled to employ extra hands
We will now lead you upstairs to two large ware
rooms, which are riammed full of bottles in
stacks; some are being c ukud.but sec these large
stacks of empty ones—thousands—find xet though
a person woald thinknlu y ought to last for years
they will not last the demand a month.’ Now a
word from uur-self. We have used this sars.pa
rilla,*and pronounce it the very bust remedy extani
; lor every indigestion from which we vuilered much
' for many months, and now take pleasure in ic
| eommendmg it to our friends and th? public gen"
i erally, as the best, the most palatable, and most
| invigorating tonic to strengthen the human sys
' tern; at the same time advising those who suiTc;
