him that others can ask questions as well as
himself.
Why did Burd Patterson, after he had

chase lands in Bloemsburg ten miles distant
to supply it with ore

cost Of water power is mere nothing inde-
pendent Of original cost, why is it that

Why is it, if Danvile has so many ad-

If Danvills is in the centre Of tho iron

LEAD MINE-VALUABLE DISCO.
VERY.

A valuable vein of the above mineral was
recently discovered by the workmen, who
were engaged in quarrying limestone on the
land of Messrs. Sesholtz and Bergstresser,
about two miles below Sunbury. The spa
cies ore discovered, is, what minerolgists
term Galena or the Sulphurat of lead, the
most valuable and productive of all the lead
ores, and in fact the only kind that occurs
in sufficient quantities by itself, to justify
its working-In appearance. it much re-
sembles the ore at Galena, Ill. excepting
that here it occurs in massive form while
the ore at Galena, we believe, occur princi,
pally in cueS.
The vein, which appears to be about
two feet in thickness, traverses largo body
of compact limestone. which folms, at that
place, bold and precipitous rock, washed
by the Susquehanns. The breadth or ex-
tent Of the vein, has not yet been fully as
certained, but SO far as it has been exposed
in presents breast of about sixteen feet
in breadth. Some Of the specimens that
we have seen, seem 10 be equally as rich as

Some of the Federal Harrso nian papers
are fiercely angry at the President for hav-
ing introduced the ten-hour system among
the workmen on the public buildings at
Washington. They would prefer that tho
COVE rnment should take care Of the rich. that
the rich should take care Of the poor. This,
however, is no. the creed Of our democratic
President. The Boston Daily Advertiser,
Harrison paper,haS the following remarks
nbout the matter:
"This is making serious inroad upon
the long established habits of the industri-
Gus portions ofOur community. 1t appears
to US not very judicious. and certainly not
very economical, for the President Of the
United States by his Judicial authority, to
introduce such change in the ussges Of
the country"

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

We learn from Washington Globe, that
Mr.. Rayner, member of Congress from
North Carolins, modern whig, waylaid
Mr.. MOntgomery,a democratic member,
and struck him repeatedly with a sword
cane; conflict ensued in which the sword
came out Of the cane and was secured by
interposing friends, who succeeded in part
ing the combatants. Scenes like these are
highly disgraceful to our country and if rot
stopped, will bring discredit upon our re-
publican institutions. Gentlemen visiting
Washington, have again and again express
ed desire that those favoring the federal
party, could be there to see TIE conduct of
their leaders in Congress; being assured,
that sincere friends of the republic would, ,on
sight, abandon the cause which required
such conduct to sustain it.

HoRRID MURDER

on returning to his home on Saturday even

get in he heard a shot from guu and
on turning round, (thiDking the shot
WINS fred at him) another gun went off, the
ball glazed his face and passed through his
ear. He saw the smoke Of the gun at his
barn; and ran towards it. He saw two men
run from the barn, but did not get near e.
nough to identify them. On climbing up
into the hay loft, from whence the smoke
proceeded, he founnd his two rifles, and al
so the key ofthe door. He returned to the
house, ,and on opening 1t found his wife and
Oldest son III years Of age) murdered the
rest of the family missing.
He gave the alarm to his next neighbOrs,
who turned out to hunt the rest Of the fami-
ly. On the next day Sunday he found
four Of his children murdered, two shot, ,one
with its throat cut, and the other with its
brains knocked out. They were found in
different directions, evidentally flying for
saefty, but were overtaken and butchered in
this most fendish manner.
Thus psrished six of this unfortunate fam

THE FRESHET IN THE SAVANNAH
RIVER

A slip from the Charleston Courier, con.
tanning accounts from Augusta and Ham
burg to The 3Oth May, represents the devas-
taton at those places fully equal to what
had been at first stated. The railroad was
less injured than was previously supposed.
At Aiken the water flowed rapidly through
the town, and was go high that it covered
the floors Of the second stories in almost all
the houses. 1t rose TOO rapidly to allow Of
saving any thing from below
At Augusta many houses were carried a.
way, and many brick tenements undernill-
ed and thrown down. The streets were
torn up, and large holes washed in them,---
The town is nearly destroyed, and many
merchants entirely ruined.
Amidst this fearful calamity and the cen
slant danger which surrounded the inhsbi-
tants, it is remarked, as a singular fact,
that the life of. no white person is known to
be lost.
