up: . . " . '".
First. That at the first election held

.for delegates to Congress, Gen. John
. W. -Whitfield received a plurality of the
legal votes .cast, and was duly elected
such delegate, as stated in the majority
report.
Second. That the Territorial Legis
" lature : waTa'legally constituted body,
and had power to pass valid laws, and

' as such. "
. Sixth., That the election under which
'the contesting delegate, Andrew H.
Reeder, claims his seat, was not held
under any law, but, in contemptuous
disregard of all law": and'that'it should
only be regarded as the expression of
i i- i . -j t.-x:
a Dana. oi malcontents anareroiuuuu
Ists,and consequently should be wholly
disregarded by the House. ' ; ' ;,

has the
he following:
. Max Killed by . His oVj? Coffin
.. On" Saturday might last, a man who re
. sided in twenty-ninth street was killed
in: a most singular manner. : The ' fol
lowing are the peculiar circumstances,
as .far. as our reporter has been able to
learn them for, in consequence of the
opinion entertained,- concerning his re
latives,; by the deceased,- who was a
spcrctabllity, they liave made great
cSbrt.to keep the particulars from the
public " ear. It appears that nearly a
year'ago tho'dee'eased, who was fifty
three years af age, became strongly
" impressed with an" idea that, ' when he
should die, .the parsimonious disposition
of his. relatives would lead them to put
.Jiim in.axheap cofiin, while he had a
strong desire to be buried in one of
polished rose wood? lined with white
, satin --and trimmed with silver.- Soon
after this strange idea, got possession
'of his mind,-he discovered an elegant
cofiin" in one of the principal warehouses,
VhiclrEuitod hint. '. He purchased it at
. .575; had it sent to -his residence , at
nightfall, and stowed it away in a small
closet adjoining. his bed-room, where it
remained until the time of the accident.
iiow it occurred is not Known to a
certainty, for the first intimation the
iamily had of the lamentable occurrence
twas from a servant, who, on going to
call him to breakfast, found the door
. the floor, dead, with his coffin at his
.side. She' screamed,, which, soon
.' brought the family, and on raising the
body the skull was found crushed in
. upon the brain. . He was discovered
auouwcigut u ciuuk uaieruay wurmug,
when, to all appearance, he had been
'. dead' se veral hours". On examining the
-closet, -a bottle containing a quantity
. of sherry wine was found, and as Satur-
day night was excessively warm, he is
. order to procure the wine to use. with
6ome icfi water he had on a small table
Vi v rn VpdRir1- Tt is thnrifrht flint, ho
must have sought for it in the dark, and
by socle mistake upset the coffin, which
fetood nearly upright. Becoming sensi
ble that it .was falling, he probably
made an effort . to get away, "when he
Tell, and the outer end struck his head
with soScient force to fracture his skull
Tind cause almostimmediate death.; The
inquest will be held- with all. possible
secrecy. The unfortunate impression
of the deceased 'concerning his - re
latives is a sufficient reason for with-
' holding the name? of the parties.
- rOSE KEJr IXOH THE CRUIEA: '
Another company of English labor
ers from the Crimea came out in the
. Orient, -and have applied for emplov
ment at the office of the American In
dustrial Association, No. 67 Greenwich
street. They are a part of the "Amy
work corps," the whole numbering at
'.the time .of their discharge 3,880 men.
A copv " of the articles of contract
shows, that these men were employed
as laborers, excavators, or navies, for
' a period of two years, and is required
for. three years, at thirty shillings per
. week, , including, rations, such as arc
. .supplied to the soldiers. These articles
further stipulate that notice' may at
. any tune be given them that their
services are dispensed with; in which
event, or at the expiration of the agree-
fnent by aSuxion of time, each person
singing the articles shall, if his conduct
be approved by the officer in command
of the corps, be entitled to receive
gratuity of twelve pounds and a free
passage home. -
On the arrival of the men in London
they received their arrears of wages,
together with the gratuity above stip-
ulated. In an address delivered to
them by their commanding officer at
the time of their disbanding, they were
advised to: emigrate to some of Her
Majesty's Colonies; A large number,
however,' it appeiaus; have given the
preference to the land ot the fctars anu
3
some of which have already
tnpe
2,
arrived, and the rest are o:i their w ay,
having embarked, in London. " ,Ihe
notice of the arrival of these men,
which appeared some days since in our
columns, has led to correspondents,
from several quarters, with the Secre
tary of the Association,' with a' view to
the locating and employments of these
emigrants, and no difficulty will be
found in giving profitable employment
to all who may seek our shores with
the intention' of becoming industrious
nnd peaceful citizens. Xiw'. I rorh
Times,
. a heroic mrs, ' ! '
A passenger on board the Northern
Indiana gives an account of the narrow
escape of Cicero Fowler and wife, of
Tully. .i. There was but one life pre
server for-.Mrs. F.- and her husband;
he insisted imperatively that she should
put it on; she peremptorily refused;
saying she "was in poor health, and
his-life was worth far more than hers!"
The preserver having no strap, Mr3.
F. tore the hem from her .'dress, and
fastened it to her husband, hom shei
continued to, encourage, saying : she
could hold on to him, and if -the pre
server could not sustain them both, she
would be the one to let go and leave
him to save himself. - - - - '
The fire was getting hotter and hot
ter. Therwater.was thick with human
forms struggling for life; she tore - her
bonnet, already on fire, from her head,
and hand in hand with1 one '. ihe. loved
better than herself, took !thc dangerous
leap. As they arose" from the water,
Mr. Fowler assisted his vrife in 'pro
curing a good hold of him on or .about
the shoulders. She .wiped ' the .water
from his mouth: and eyes, and encour
aed him to retain his hope, of being
sav'?cL ' He continued to struggle with
the waves. . Half an hour elapsed and
there' was no sign of, assistance.- His
strength was rapidly failing;, his wife
observing it, tried anew to cheer him.
He. said he could not stand it any
longer; it seemed as though ho must
give up. . At that moment she heard a
steamer coming rapidly through the
water. She says, "My dear husband,
a. few moments more and we are safe
don't -you' hear a boat coming?" He
said he did, and immediately revived,
made all the effort Tn his power, and
struggled for himself and his heroic
wife until the Mississippi came tip and
took them, with scores of others, on
her commodious decks. Syracuse (iV.
I.) Journal.
SHAEP W02IAN.
A well-dressed and highly respect
able looking woman, a few days since
entered a fashionable store in Cincin
nati, and desiredto look at some gloves.
They were shown to her, and she
selected one pair. The clerk left her
for a few moments to get change, and
she quietly secreted in her bosom a
halt dozen pairs ot the same , gloves.
As she was Hearing the door, the pro
prietor stepped forward and stated
that he had perceived the theft, and
requested her name and. residence,
that he might send the bill for the
stolen gloves. She was indignant but
he was .stern, and took great pride in
evincing how smart he had been. Find
ing escape impossible, she begged him
to keep the matter secret, and she would
pay at once; for that purpose she
handed a twenty dollar note he deduct
ed five dollars for the gloves, and gave
her fifteen in change and allowed her
o depart. His exultation over the
result came to a sudden termination
next day, when the twenty dollar note
was returned from the bank as a coun
terfeit. no thinks he did not make
much by giving her fifteen dollars in
cash as a present, for stealing half, a
dozen pairs of gloves. . . .
, Savage Assault upon a late Mem
ber of the San Francisco Vigilance
Committee. Mr. Edward A. Jessell,
a resident of Jersey Citvi who recently
returned from San Francisco, and who
while there, was a member of the Vigi
lance Committee, vras attacked on
Monday evening by Andy Shehan,
fellow well known to the prize-fighting
community, who beat him in a terrible
manner. It appears that Shehan had
known Mr. Jessell, bv sight, m Califor
ma, and happening to meet him at the
corner of Last Broadway and Catherine
street, on Monday night, .he accosted
him, and accused him of having aided
in the capture of Yankee Sullivan,' and
acted with the v igilance Committee in
their, crusade against the gamblers and
others, who had been expelled from
the btate. He then fell upon M:
J essell andbeat him until he was hauled
off by some bystanders: - No police-
- 1 '--4 mt'-m
man was aoout, ana shenan escaped
arrest at the time, but yesterday he
. .. .: . . .
was captured by olhcer Masterson o
the Chiefs Bureau, but as Mr. Jesse
had made no complaint against him
he was released from custody. Late
in the day! Mr. J. made a complain
against him before Justice Welsh, who
issued a warrant for his re-arres;t. A
the time of the assault, Mr. J. had in
his shirt bosom a pin containin e twenty
five diamonds, which he valued at 600
which was missing immediately after
ward, and has not been seen by him
since.

An Incident of the, Burning of
the Northern Indiana: An incident,
which . created intense excitement
among the lady- passengers on board
the Mississippi, was the discoverjof a
svreet j little baby about a year old,
which-by some means had -its Jittle
arms across a board. and was -.holding
on with a death 'grip.4 It .-we 3 now
mounting the!' top 6fthe wive?, and
now down in their troughs, cud it
seemed as though at eachv moment it
must relax its hold and go down. The
ladies watched it with the most intense
anxiety", and' among them were mothers
whose eyes were moist and sobs audible.
Rut it was riot long before one of the
boats picked it up, and the most fervent
exclamations of joy at its rescue were
heard on every side. Fortunately it3
mother was among the saved who came
to this cityon the Mississippi, and the
scene, as she clasped to her bosom her
child, whom she thought drowned, is
altogether 1 indescribable. Exchange.
Palace Discovered Underground.
The remains of a magnificent palace
have been discovered under a garden
in the Isle of Capri. ' It must not only
have been splendid in structure, but
in situation, commanding a view of the
bay of Palermo and Naples. Marble
of various colors was used in its con
struction, and all its apartments, so far
as the excavations have proceeded, are
of the most spacious and elegant
character, - The doorway is twelve feet
wide, and of white ; marble, and the
rooms are paved in mosaic, while- the
walls are painted red, blue, yellow, &c.
Several coins of the reign of Augustus
and Tiberius have been found, some of
hem disclosing the curious fact that
he coins of one reign were at times
recoined in another.

The Latest Dodge. The Vigilance
Committee of San Francisco, in the
course of their investigation into the
case of a coroner whom they had arrest
ed, elicited satisfactory evidence that
he was in the habit of disinterring the
bodies of persons who had been buried
for the purpose of dropping them into
the docks, and thus receiving the fees
attending an inquest. In this way, it
is said, one body has been made to do
service three or four times or as long
as it would hold together. This accounts
in part for the great number of bodies
that, but a little while ago, were con
stantly found under the wharves of San
Franciscoi

New Governor of Kansas. Col.
Geary is a high-minded, honorable man,
and -who will bring to his new duties a
desire to secure equal and exact justice
to all the citizens of the new Territory,

perform efficiently and fairly all the
trusts committed to his charge. He
possesses administrative ability of the
highest order, and has been admirably
trained for his new duties by his ex
tended experience as a Colonel in the
Mexican war, as Alcade, and subse
quently first Major of San Francisco,
and other capacities. Pcnnsylvanian.
Mr. John Parker and son were at
tending some fish, lines on the river
about three' miles above here, when
they . were surprised by a continous,
unusual roaring, towards the middle of
the stream. The night was without
wind.. Owing to the darkness, no effort
was made to ascertain the cause of this
strange noise until daylight, when it
was seen thaj; a whirlpool of large
extent was in active operation some
two hundred yards from the Missouri
shore, which still continues m opera
tion, drawing in a great body of water;
so much, indeed, that the volume of
the river below is sensibly lessened.-
Driftwood and large floating logs go in
and disappear totally. Many hundred
yesterday went up to see this strange
sight. . Unless this chasmsoon fills up
with water, the enect upon navigation
will be calamito s indeed; for it would
seem that the bottom of the river has

LITTELLS' LIVING AGE.
Extract of Lettcrtfram Judge Story, Chancellor

ure; and entirely approve the plan. If it can only
i t li i i
ODiain mc puouc patronage long enougD, ana larc
enough, and securely enough, to attm its truo ends,
it will contribute in an eminent degree to give a
healthy tone, not only to our literature but to public
opinion. It will enable us to possess, in a moderate
compass a select library of the best productions of
the age. It will do more : it will redeem our period
ical literature from the reproach of being devoted to
light and superficial reading, to transitory specula
tions, to sickly and ephemeral sentimentalities, and
false and extravagant sketches of life and character
JOSEPH STORY.
!. 7 New York, 7th, 1811.
1 approve very much of the plan of tho "Livin
Age ;" and if it be conducted with the intelligence)
spirit and taste, that the prospectus indicates, (of
which I have no reason to doubt) it will be one of
the most instructive and popular periodicals of the
day. JAMES KENT. -
WASraxGTON, 27th De., 1814.
Of all tho Periodical Journals devoted to litera
ture and scionce which abound in Europe, and in this
country, this appeared to me the most useful. It con
tains indeed the exposition only of tho current liter
ature of the English language; this, by its immense
extent and comprehension, includes a portrature of
the human mind in the utmost expansion of the pres
ent age. J. Q. ADAMS.
This work is made up of the elaborate and stately
essays of tho 'Edinburgh 'Quarterly,' and other - Re
views; and 'Blackwood's' noble criticisms on Poetry
his .keen political Commentaries, highly wrought
Tales, and vivid descriptions of rural and mountain
Scenery; and the contributions to Literature, Histo
ry, and Common Life, by the sagacious 'Spectator,'
tho sparkling 'Examiner,' the judicious 'Athenseum '
the busy and industrious 'Literary Gazette,' the sen
sible and comprehensive 'Britannia,' the sober and
respectable 'Christian Observer; these are intermix
ed with the Military and Naval reminiscences of the
United Service,' and with the best articles of the
'Dublin University,' 'New Monthly,' 'Frasers,' 'Taits,'
'Ainsworth's,' 'Hood's' and 'Sporting Magazine's, and
of 'Chamber's' admirable 'Journil.' We do not con
sider it beneath our dignity to borrow wit and wis
dom from 'Punch;' and when we think it good enough
make use of the thunder of 'The Times.' We shall
increase our variety by importations from the Conti
nent of Europe, and from the new growth of the
British Colonies.
