Extract of letter from gentleman in
Kentucky to his friend in Baltimore
dated
FRANKroRr, (Ky.) 18th Nov. 1881.
You will probably have received the
intelligence of Mr.. Clay's election to the
u. S Senate. On joint ballot Clay 10,
Il. M. Johnson Cd, scattering /.
This election have very much damped
the ardor ofthe Jackson party. We be-
lieve they had much difficulty in concen-
trating their party on any one. 1t was
deemed however indispensable, that they
should do so, lest it might 60 abroad that
the Jackson party had tumbled to pieces
in Kentucky. 1t is believed, Mr.. Row.
an, as well as Col. r. M. johnson, was
desirous Of the honor ofbeing beaten by
Mr.. Clay, or in other words ofbeing the
head Of the Jackson party in Kentucky,
so far as the combination of the vote up
on either could have produced that infer
ence abroad.
Col. Il. M. Johnson gave party last
evening in honor of his rote, and one was
given on the part of Mr.. Clay's friends
Mr.. Clay as well as many of his friends,
attended the Coils in the fore part of the
evening, and about half past seven the
rooms Of Mr.. Clay were opened and all
made their appearance there; the asperi-
ties of long engendered party feeling
seemed to have passed away, and the
utmost harmony prevailed--indeed il
seemed more like olden times when par
ty had not divided and separated us.
! Though the leaders of the Jackson
party have defeat impressed on their
countenance, the rest of them are cheer
tuI and great many pleased and salts
fed at the result. do not doubt but
Jacksonism in this state is hence forward
doomed TO downward course. MIR.
Clay is in good health. The Jackson
party surely used all manner of opera
tions to succeed to produce division in our
ranks, &c.-But all would not do.
The vote in the House Of Representa-
ti,es was precisely what was represented
in the circular of the Central Committee,
50 for Mr.. Clay, 45 for the Jackson can
didate-in the Senate Clay 10, johnson

THANKSGIVING.

As we welcome the return ofthis prim-
tive festival, we feel that no time could
have been more happily selected to dedi-
cate at once to modest Joy and grateful
piety. The lap Of Autumn is full, and
with bland and quiet aspect she bids
us to the feast. There are no blossoms
Of promise around her, hut there is rich
gathering of fruits in the orchard, aud Il
binding Of ripe sheaves in the field, and
a sound of happy laborers gnrnering their
harvest; and thus Autumn being the per-
fection of that, of which Spring is only
the hope, fills the mind with deeper
gladness. Then the calm Of the mind,
nftor the laboIs ufthe year are well over,
disposes it happily for acts of thankful
devotion, and the air Of gentle and
thoughtful repose dilused over Nature at
this season, is no inconsiderable aid to
such feelings 1t is beautiful to see the
country and city churches thronged on
this day, and the usual custom Of offering
the Charity-box is too appropriate to he
passed by. 1t is so pleasant to see the
more fortunate children of Gods great
family, deposting as the best acknow-
ledgment Of his kindness, a gilt to those
who share less largely in his earthly
blessings. We think no one can proper
ly relish a Thanksgiving feast, who has
not previously given of his abundance to
the poor, and every one of good heart
will envy the feelings of that man, who
on one of these festivals set free in his
native city all the debtors in prison. Let
us all resolve, in the midst of our thanks,
each to do all the good in his power
Let us all enquire of ourselves, on the
return Of every Thanksgiving day, what
have / done for my fellow creatures the
last year? Thus will every returning
season of this delightful anniversary
like the steps in Jacobs ladder, lead us
nearer and nearer to heaven.

SUPREME CoURT.-The trial of NAL
bone Briggs. George Bennett, Charlotte
Briggs aud PermilIa Webster commence
ed on Thursday last. They were indict-
cd for making and aiding and assisting
in forging counterfeit money. There
were five indictments against Briggs un-
der the different sections of the statute.
1t appeared by the evidence that one lu-
cus Smith, II notorious villain (taking his
own statement on the stand) who was an
accOmplice, and n witness in behalf Of
the State, commenced the business of
preparing all the necessary apparatus for
forging in connexion with one Zenas
Loud, from Providence, at the house of
Briggs in May last. A letter addressed
to man in Fall River, written by Lu-
cius Smith and lodged IN the Post Office
at Assonett led to the discovery of the
rogucs. Briggs had previously passed in
Assonett II counterfeit bill and taken It
back. The letter above referred to was
carried to the Post-oilice, in AssOnett by
Briggs: and the gentleman in the office
immediately recognised in the super
scription of the handwriting which he
had seen on the counterfeit bill which
Briggs had but short time before pass
ed. Measures were taken to apprize the
Postmaster at Fall River of the fact, and
at Fall-River the letter with the consent
of the person to whom it was directed, was
read publicly. An officer will, sufficient aid
| proceeded to the house of Briggs made
search and found some spurious money
| in his possession, and arrested him to-
Igether with Lucius Smith. The latter
soon after consulted counsel and cOnclud-
ed to turn States evidence. lie made
disclosures to the government on prom
ise of forgiveness which led to the discOy-
cry Of rising two thousand dollars cOun-
terfeit money, principally on the New
England Commercial Bank at Newport;
IA copperplate in imitation of the plate
used by that Bank, copperplates for al
tering true bills, a rolling press, ink, pa
per, and all the various implements and
materials designed and adapted for MAX
ing spurious money. The money and all
the articles were found on the premises
or near the territory Of Malbonc Briggs.
The evidence was very strong that Briggs
was principal in the nclarious business,
and still stronger if possible as it went to
implicate Smith and Loud, the latter of
whom has yet eluded the officers of JUS
tce.-The case of the commonwealth u
ganst Briggs and his associates was COM
mitted to the jury on Friday last, in the
afternoon. The jury returned in The ev-
ening with verdict of guilty against
Malbone Briggs, George Bennett and
, Charlotte Briggs, and did not agree rs to
guilt or innocence Of Permilla Webster
, who was included in the same indictment
, aud in the romaininS, mol. proc. was en-
tered by the Attorney General. Ben
nett has been sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment in the States Prison, and
, Briggs to three years on one indictment
and ten in the other, and it being the
, third offence will result in confinement
f for life unless pardoned by the Executive
, of the State.

The election of Mr. Clay to the SEN
ate is, in the present condition of that
body, an important event. His great
personal influence, his eloquencc, abili-
ties, and experience as a public man,
qualify him to take leading part, and in
conjunction with Mr. Webster to exer-
else great and just influence over the
deliberations and acts of that body. Ii
so happens too that among those who arc
considered the immediate confidants and
personal-dependants would perhaps be
too strong word, but-devotees of tho
President there are none Of any marked
talent. Mr.. Tazewell of Virginia, has
been again and again denounced by the
thorough gong party men, as an enemy

conscience of his own-things not to be
tolerated in a true type Of Jacksonism.

for the promotion Of Science, Literature
and the Arts" The motion being Sec
onded, an interesting and protracted de-
bate took place on its merits in which
Messra Hunter, King, Ennis, the rev.
Messrs. Patten, Choules, and Beecher,
Dr's. Dunn, and Moore, Lieuts. Park
and Brown, and Messrs. Pearce, Engs,
and others took part. The principal
point in debate was, whether an Associ-
alton of this nature, necessarily atfllia-
ted with many other Societies and cx-
tending by its associates to different parts
of the Union, or a Society which should
be strictly and exclusively local would be
most advantageous to the young men OF
this place. The debate terminated IN a
very general assent to Lieut.. Browns
motion which was adopted indeed with
out dissenting voice.
Ii was then ordered that the original
subscription paper remain open for sigma,
lures for one fortnight longer; and thai
the Society stand adjourned to Monday
evening next at half past SIX, then t'
meet at the State House, for the choice
of officers.

We learn by gentleman, who came
down the Rail Road yesterday evening
from Ridgevillc, that the storm on Mon
day night last, was much more severe to
the west, than in the neighbourhood Of
this city. The snow at Ellicotts Mills,
fell about six inches deep, and at Syks-
vile, thirty miles distant on the Rail
Road from Baltimore, it was twelve in
ches deep, and drifted into very high
banks; trees were also by the violence
of the wind, in several places, blown a.

vented the cars which left Baltimore on

POLAND.-Beiore the close Of the
revolutionary struggle, the Polish cause
seems to have been stained by treachery
and cowardice. The Russian bulletins,
giving all account of the operations at
Warsaw, assert, positively, that the army
was included in the capltulatiOn. Ac-
cording to the London Morning Herald,
the corps ofRybinski, one Of those which
marched out of Warsaw, is said to have
Irevolted--to have murderedits command
Grand to have turned out a mere troop
of brigands. Besides disunion, treachery
is thought to have had share in the base
surrender Of the capital-or ifnot treach-
cry, downright cowardice. The Russian
bulletins, which these papers contain at
great length, admit that when Krukowi-
ecki saw the squadrons advancing for the
last time, he was seized with ga panic
terror" which deprived him Of all self
possession, and he Immediately struck
his colors. The following is the begging
letter which this caitif miscreant address
sed to the Emperor
". Y. Spec.
"Sire,-Being at this moment commits
stoned to address your Imperial and Roy
al Majesty in the name Of the whole Po-
lish nation, apply through his Excellen-
cy the Field Marshal Count Pask kewitch h
Of Erivan to your paternal heart While

the past to be forgotten, and to heal the
deep wounds that have been inflicted on

The Russian bulletins admit loss in
the taking of Warsaw of only ! 900 Kill
led and 1000 wounded, which goes to
strengthen the nsinuation that the rolcs
had been sold.
