MR. WORDEN'S VIEWS ON CORPORATIONS.
Our readers are already aware that the views of Mr. Worden in respect to Rail Roads being suable before Justices' Courts, have been wholly misrepresented by his malignant accusers. The following brief extract from the proceedings of the Assembly of April 20th, will show how little dependence can be placed upon their assertions. The Rail Road bills being under consideration in the House, on Monday, (20th.)
Mr. Worden said he had during the session presented numerous petitions relating to suits against Railroads in Justices' courts, and in some of the general bills relating to Railroads he observed a provision authorizing such suits. The bills were referred back to the Railroad Committee to report complete; but Mr. W. said he heard this morning, for the first time, that the committee in reporting these bills had stricken out the clause relating to suits before justices and he desired to ask the Railroad Committee if they intended to report any bill on the petitions referred to them.
Mr. Teft said the provision was stricken out because it was understood the Judiciary Committee had reported a general bill on that subject, making all corporations liable to such actions.
Mr. Worden said he saw no good reason why corporations should not be sued in the same courts as individuals, or why one rule should be applied to natural persons and a different one to artificial persons. He believed it unwise in corporations to ask in this or any other respect any exemptions or privileges not common to all, and that as long as this distinction was preserved, the people would see its injustice and inequality, from which corporations would be more prejudiced than they could be by being placed on the same footing in all respects with the citizens of the State. As the bill referred to stood upon the general orders, and could not be reached in its ordinary course, and as it was connected with the matters of Railroad reform, he would move that it be taken from the committee of the whole and ordered to a third reading and be read at the same time with the other Railroad bills. This motion was agreed to.

Andrew Palmes
drew was bound to learn the trade of shoemaking in his native village of New London. Here he remained until 1775, the commencement of the war of the Revolution; when, fired with patriotic zeal on hearing the news of the battle of Lexington, he enlisted in the army for eight months, and immediately proceeded to join the American forces, then besieging the British in Boston. After the expiration of his first term of service he enlisted a second time for a year. He was attached to one of the companies that took possession of Dorchester Heights, on the memorable fourth of March, 1776, and when the British were compelled to evacuate Boston, he proceeded with the army to New York, and was stationed on Long Island, when the British fleet entered the Narrows, in August. Here he was engaged in several skirmishes with the enemy, after which he was taken sick, while on furlough at Stamford. He rejoined the army at White Plains, but was soon after, again taken sick, with the bilious fever. His second term of enlistment expired at the close of 1776, and with it ended his land service.
He soon after enlisted into the sea service, under Lieut. Holt, of the marines, with the promise of serjeant's birth, on board the ship Warren. He proceeded to Boston to join his vessel, but she being unfinished, he was transferred to the Confederacy, a 36 gun frigate, then lying at New London. Some delay occurring in the sailing of this vessel, Mr. Palmes, at his own request was allowed to enter a privateer vessel of 16 guns, Captain Hezekiah Perkins commander. He continued in the privateer service nearly two years during which time he made many successful cruises principally to the West Indies, when, in 1778, his vessel was captured by a British fleet, and taken into Port Royal, in the island of Jamaica. Here he was set at liberty, but soon after, with several other Americans, was taken by one of the British press-gangs, and forced into the British service on board the Lion, a 74 gun ship, then lying at Kingston, and attached to the fleet of Admiral Byron. He took an unwilling part with the English during the attack on the French island of St Lucia on the 13th of December, 1778; and also in the engagement which soon followed between the fleets of Byron and D'Estaing. Mr. Palmes says that the Lion, on which he was compelled to serve, was engaged principally with the Languedoc, the flag ship of D'Estaing—that the conflict was terrible—and that the Lion had 53 men killed, and 300 wounded—two of the killed, being at the same gun at which he was stationed. The Lion was so damaged that she with difficulty reached Port Royal, but in ten days was ready for sea again. In company with several other vessels she then sailed on a cruise among the West India Islands, and captured one Dutch schooner, one French frigate, and nine American vessels, eight of which were from Connecticut. This was the most ungrateful service in which Mr. Palmes had been engaged: and soon after, in company with three other Americans, he seized an opportunity for deserting, while the vessel was lying off the east end of the island of Cuba. During a dark night the Americans secretly let themselves down from the vessel, determined to swim ashore or perish in the attempt, Mr. Palmes leading the way. The distance was so great that they were in the water several hours; and when they neared the shore, they were several times washed back into the ocean by the receding waves. One poor fellow of the company, the best swimmer among them, found a watery grave; the other three, nearly exhausted, finally effected a landing; and in the darkness commenced their march towards the interior of the island, over a barren waste, nearly destitute of clothing, and without food or water. They soon met with two Irishmen, who had been sent on shore a day or two previous, for water, and had likewise deserted. The five travelled on together four days without finding anything to eat. On the fifth day they found twelve turtles' eggs and a few plantains, which they divided amongst themselves, and greedily devoured. They finally reached a negro plantation, where they were kindly treated, whence the negroes conducted them to the house of their master. Thence they passed from one plantation to another, until they reached Havanna, where the governor ordered them to be arrested, on the suspicion that they were English spies; but after Mr. Palmes had been examined, through an interpreter, the whole party were released. An interesting incident occurred to Mr. Palmes at one of the plantations. An old negro woman, who spoke English, learning that he was an American, told him that she also came from the same country. A few mutual inquiries showed that the old woman had been brought up in New London, whence she had been stolen and carried to Cuba; and that she had nursed the twin brothers, Samuel and Andrew, in their infancy. Mr. Palmes says she was the property of Esq. Adams, of New London, at the time she was stolen.
After remaining at Havanna a short time, Mr. Palmes enlisted on board an American privateer lying in the harbor. During a short cruise the privateer

LAST CALL BUT ONE
We have on our books a considerable number of unsettled accounts which we invite those interested to call and liquidate at their earliest convenience. Among those indebted to us, we observe the names of several worthy men, good citizens and good neighbors, who we believe have the reputation of paying their debts generally, who nevertheless habitually neglect to cancel their newspaper accounts. We have appealed to them in the ordinary forms, as long as is consistent with a reasonable exercise of forbearance. They have invariably forgotten us, and we feel compelled therefore to adopt more speedy and certain measures with them. On the 15th of May, such as have accounts of more than one year's standing, will be struck from our list, and their accounts put into the hands of justices for collection; and we are determined that no accounts of this nature shall hereafter accrue on our books.

OBITUARY.
ANOTHER SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION SONE. —It is now seldom that we are called upon to record the departure, from among us, of any of those worthies of a bygone age, who took part in that glorious struggle which achieved our country's independence. Only a few of that band of patriots survive; and those few, like the last leaves of Autumn, withered and sere, have awaited their allotted time, until they now tremble in the blasts of life's winter,—having seemingly outlived the generation to which they belonged. But as one after another of this venerated few passes away to that silent home where his kindred in arms have gone before him, it is natural, as well as profitable for us to revert back, from the joyous present, to those days of gloom, when our Revolutionary sires toiled, and suffered, and bled, and died, for our and our country's welfare.
ANDREW PALMES , a soldier of the Revolution, and the subject of this obituary notice, was born in the town of New London, Connecticut, on the sixth day of May, 1755; the year after the commencement of the "French and Indian War." He had a twin brother, Samuel, whom he so much resembled, that even their mother could not distinguish one from the other, when they were dressed alike, except upon close inspection. Many anecdotes are related of each having been mistaken for the other, not only in youth, but even after they had grown up to manhood. When Andrew's children first saw their uncle, they supposed it was their own father; and having just returned from school they began their familiarities with him, when suddenly their father entered from an adjoining room. Completely astounded they ran to their mother, whom they accosted with "Mother! Mother! have we two fathers?" The brother, Samuel, is believed to be still living in Connecticut, at the advanced age of ninety one years. But, to return to our narrative.
The father of the brothers died when they were but eleven years old, leaving a comfortable property for the widow and children, but which, through mismanagement, was wasted; and at the age of fourteen An-
but after Mr. Palmes had been examined, through an interpreter, the whole party were released. An interesting incident occurred to Mr. Palmes at one of the plantations. An old negro woman, who spoke English, learning that he was an American, told him that she also came from the same country. A few mutual inquiries showed that the old woman had been brought up in New London, whence she had been stolen and carried to Cuba; and that she had nursed the twin brothers, Samuel and Andrew, in their infancy. Mr. Palmes says she was the property of Esq. Adams, of New London, at the time she was stolen.
After remaining at Havanna a short time; Mr. Palmes enlisted on board an American privateer lying in the harbor. During a short cruise the privateer was successful in making two captures, and Mr. Palmes share of the prize money was forty five dollars. But having contracted the fever and ague, he called on a physician, who, he says, bled him, gave him an emetic and two doses of bark, and took all his money, except two half pistareens.
He soon after embraced an opportunity for returning to America, and in 1780 landed at Baltimore, sick and penniless. The vessel had encountered a terrible storm during the voyage, and was brought in under jury masts. At Baltimore he worked awhile at his trade, and received fifty dollars in Continental money, with which he started on foot for New London; being sick every other day with the fever and ague. Occasionally he fell into the hands of Tories, who, he says, were perfect land sharks,—but by others he was treated kindly;—sometimes a meal of victuals was given him, and at other times he paid for it exorbitantly. In one instance he paid eighteen dollars, continental money, for breakfast. At Philadelphia, he says, his poor old frock was taken from him to pay a lodging bill; and that too, after he had been put into the third story, where a man had just died with the small pox. Quoting his own language, as he often, in old age, recounted these events of his early life, and, in memory, "fought his battles o'er again," he says: "I was finally spared to see my mother. She had long before buried me—but I came to her as one from the dead. Never did I forget her during my long campaign! and when wandering over the dreary sands of Cuba, and finally, on my homeward voyage, when we were driven by fierce winds, and all our masts were swept away, still hope never left me, and I expected again to see my country and my mother."
After his return to New London, he made several voyages, and continued in the service until peace was concluded, in 1782. He then went to Litchfield, in Connecticut, to reside; and during the same year, at the age of twenty seven, he married a wife, ten years younger than himself, by whom he became the father of a large family of children, and with whom he lived, in undisturbed domestic happiness to the time of his death,—a period of sixty four years. His aged partner survives him. In 1820 he removed from Litchfield to the town of Richmond, in Ontario county, where he passed the remainder of his days. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, WM. F. REED, Esq., on the 11th of April, 1846, at the advanced age of ninety years, eleven months, and five days.
In all the relations of life Mr. Palmes sustained a character above reproach. As an affectionate husband, a kind father, a firm friend, a cheerful and agreeable companion, an estimable citizen,—but more than all, as a most worthy CHRISTIAN, his many virtues will long be cherished in grateful remembrance by all who knew him.—COM.

MORTGAGE SALE. CALVIN BUNCE and Mary Bunce his wife, then of Canadice, in the County of Ontario, did on the twenty third day of January, one thousand eight hundred and forty four, mortgage to Jessy Mills and to his heirs and assigns, all those certain tracts or parcels of land, situate in the east part of lot number seven of a tract of land surveyed by Elisha Johnson, in the south west corner of township number eight in the fifth range of townships in the said County of Ontario, being two acres of land, and bounded as follows: (viz:) Beginning at a stake and stone in the centre of the Highway, on the south side of the gull, running thence North on the East line of said lot across said gull five chains, thence West at right angles with the East line four chains, thence South running parallel with the East line, across said gull five chains, thence East running parallel with the North line four chains to the place of beginning, containing two acres of land. And also all that piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in the town aforesaid, and distinguished as the South West corner of sub division number seven of the thousand acre tract number three in township number eight in the fifth range of townships, bounded as follows: (viz:) Beginning on the West line of said lot four chains and fifty links North from the South West corner of said lot from thence South sixty seven and a half degress, East eight chains and seventeen links, thence South seventy five links and parallel with the West line of said lot within twelve links of the top of the South bank of the gull, running thence North-westerly in said gull within twelve links of the top of the South bank of said gull to the West line of said lot, North two chains and seventy five links from the South West corner of said lot, running thence North on the West line of said lot one chain and seventy five links to the place of beginning, containing one acre of land, be the same more or less, to secure the payment of two hundred and seventy five dollars and the interest. Said mortgage was duly recorded in the office of the Clerk of the County of Ontario, in Book 34, of Mortgages on the 16th day of April, 1846. The amount claimed to be due on said mortgage on the day of the first publication of this notice, is three hundred and fourteen dollars and sixty seven cents.

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W.21887, it appears that Andrew Palmes enlisted in May, 1775, served as a private in Captains James Chapman's and Darrow's Companies, Colonel Samuel Holden Parsons and Tyer's Connecticut Regiment, was in the battle of Long Island and served one year and seven months.
He then enlisted as a sergeant of marines under Lieutenant Samuel Holt, on board the ship "Warren", was ordered on board the ship "Confederacy", and continued in the Naval service for more than one year.
He was allowed pension on his application executed March 30, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-two years and resided in Litchfield, Litchfield County, Connecticut.
He died April 11, 1846, at his residence in Richmond, Ontario County, New York.
The soldier married July 24, 1783, in Litchfield, Connecticut, Sarah Mattocks. Their marriage was recorded in the town records of said Litchfield.
She was allowed pension on her application executed August 22, 1846, at which she was aged eighty-one years "and upwards", and resided in Richmond, New York, where she stated she and husband had resided for twenty-six years.
In 1820, the soldier referred to the following children: Eliza, Caroline, Susanna, and Edward, aged eighteen,

sixteen, twelve and nine years respectively.
In 1841, Amelia C. Reed, aged forty-one years, and a resident of Richmond, Ontario County, New York, stated that she was a daughter of Andrew and Sarah Palmes.
The above is the history of the only soldier named Andrew Palmes found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir
I find it impossible to do business satisfactorily during my absence with the Pension Office.
Will you do me the favor to drop a line to Mr. Edwards relative to the application of Sarah Palmes widow of your old acquaintance Andrew Palmes. I have had an interview to day with the son in law and suggested the propriety of my writing to you.
Please accept my thanks for the Speech — Mrs. Rose is declining daily.

Sir - I herewith send you the discharge of Richard Soule for the purpose of procuring his Certificate for bounty land. & hope to it will receive an early attention as Consistent.
I also enclose a Certificate for a pension issued to Sarah Palmer which you sent over some days since. I forwarded it to the person from whom I supposed I received it. He returns it saying he has nothing to do with it. I have no memorandum showing from whom I got. Will you inform me if you can from whom when I presented the papers & when the pension lies. so that I may forward it.
Yours truly

Dear Robt L Moore
Dr Sir
Your favor of the 27 th ult o is received. In reply I have to say that I find the name of Andrew Palmer as having served in Capt Chapman's Co Parsons reg t in 1775 7 Mos & 12 days.
We have no pay roll or muster roll of a Capt Danvers Co in 1776. In Jan y 1776 Col J. B. Parsons was appointed Col & John Tyler Lieut Col of a regiment raised for a year Parsons sometimes in 1776 about August or Sept was appointed Genl & the regiment there after Col called Col Tyler's regiment & was comm anded by Tyler for the balance of the year or perhaps longer. From Memorandums & Charges in the books of Paytable it is evident there was a Capt Danvers in the same reg t
We have but few pay rolls or muster rolls for the year 1776. From Tradition & history & the books in this office I am satisfied they were once among the archives of the W.S. whether the Commissioners of Pensions has their  now custody of them I know not

Dear Sir
The son in law of Sarah Palms has this moment furnished me with the following statements (relative to services of Andrew Palms) found among his old papers —
That said Andrew enlisted in 1875 or 1876 for eight months under Captain James Chapman of New London. He again enlisted in Captain Darrow's Company for one year and served during that period — I knew Mr Palms very well for the last thirty years and have not the least doubt as to his services and the justice of the claim.
May I ask your attention to this matter and an answer at your earliest convenience

Said Husband was ignorant of the provisions of the aforesaid act of 7. June 1832 or he would have applied for the increase to which he was entitled under said Act.

Your application for proof of the Service of Andrew Palmer in the Naval Service in the War of the Revolution has been rec d . and I have examined the records in this office relating to said Service and am unable to find any record of the Service of men on board either of the vessels named and am of opinion there is no record in this office of their Service. The Confederacy was a Privateer and think the warren was also and if so they would not be paid here, as I suppose. the service The Service and payment of other Vessels do appear on the records which induces me to believe I am correct in my opinion
