A Speck of War.

The rumors from Europe by the Britannia,
are rather warlike. The Tories appear to be
preparing for something like movement. The
London Times, their leading organ, has an ar
ticle on the Mcleod case, which protests against
any further delay, and says that his chance Of
a fair trial is small, and that the British Gov
eminent "cannot be too soon prepared to inter-
fere in The only way which remains"
The London Atlas says-"An immense Bri-
tish feet, accompanied by prodigious number
of armed steamships, is collecting about the
shores of North America What this porlends
cannot be doubtful"
We also find in other papers the rumor, that
four or five sail of the line are to be immediate
ly despatched to our coast where they are 10 be
Joined by several other ships of war and armed
steamers, and the object of this naval force is
said to be TO follow up and support the demand
made by the British Government, upon that of
the United States for the Liberation of Mcleod
The Globe says-"We have reason to believe
there is no truth in the statement, that an addi-
ton is TO be made 10 our force already upon the
North American station. Sir c Adam is TO
take with him two ships, one lne-of. battle,
and the other the Pique frigate; but these will
be recalled"
Another paper says that ii was understood
that Vice Admiral Sir Charles Adam, X. G. B..
who has been appointed TO succeed Sir Thom-
as Harvey as commander-in-chiefo of the West
Indies and North American station, will take
his departure the first week in September for
Bermuda. The Malabar is TO be the Admirafs
flagship.
Are we prepared for the worst on this side I?

Lynch Law--TIIe Murders i'm the
West.
The ST. Louis Bulletin says:-

The ST. Louis Bulletin says
"The information derived from the Maid OF
Arkansas, respecting the murder of the counter
feiters on the islands of the Mississippi, is not
as extensive as that brought by the Baltic. We
learn that the whole number executed was %,
of whom % were drowned, and one, who at
tempted to effect an escape by mingling with
the assailanls, was, upon detection, shot Five
or six houses on one of the islands, were burnt
The rest of the particulars brought by The Maid
of Arkansas, correspond pretty much with those
brought by the Baltic. This Information was
attained at wood yard about four miles below
the scene of outrage, and was furnished by the
owner of the yard"

shower of Flesh and Blood.

Ii is only few weeks since we had an ac
count from the East, of fall of mamma of the
richest quality. And now we give below an ex
tract from the the Nashville Banner of the 20lf
ut., which mentions fall of flesh and blood
not of quails, we presume, but still animal flesh
fat and lean, and good quantity of blood. This
is really marvellous, if true:
On Tuesday, we heard from various persons
that shower, apparently of flesh and blood
had fallen in Wilson county, near Lebanon, in
this State, and that the fields were covered to
considerable extent The account staggered
our belief but strange as 1t may appear, 1t has
been confirmed by the statement of several gen.
tlemen of high character, who have personally
examined the scene of this phenomenon. They
state that the space covered by this extraordi-
nary shower, is half mile in length, and about
seventy-five yards in width. In addition TO the
information thus received, we have been favor
ed by DR.. Troost, Professor of Chemistry in the
University of Nashville, with the following let
ter from highly respectable physician of Leb-
anon; we have also seen the specimens sent to
him for examination. To US they appear to be
animal matter and the odor is that of putrid
flesh. We do not pretend to offer any theory
to account for this phenomenon, we leave that
to abler and more scientific heads. When the
specimens have passed through the cruclbles of
DR.. Troost, we shall furnish our readers with
the result.

More rumors from Washington.

1t seems that the Southern papers are quite

reorganization of the Cabinet

stituted for ii.
1t is further said, that the Office of Secretary
of State will be rendered to Mr.. Tazewell of
Virginia, and that, in the event of his MONACO
ceptance, Judge Upshur will be invited into the
Cabinet
Another member of the Cabinet will be taken
from Massachusetts or Maine, and the names
of the following gentlemen are mentioned as
those from whom the selection will be made,
viz: John Davis, Caleb Cushing F. o. J. Smith,
or Levi Lincoln.
The Middle States will be represented in the
Executive Counsels, by John M. Clayton Of

Accident on the Trenton Rail Road

The North American of the 4th inst. says
Night before last, the Pilot line in coming on
from New York, ran over Cow and Bull
few miles beyond Trenton, and jeopardized the
lives of nearly three hundred passengers. The
Engineer was injured some and The Locomo-
tive broken and almost disabled. Two Cars
were thrown partly from the track and the pas
sengers were in great danger of a bath in the
Canal. The animals were horribly mutilated,
but no injury resulted 10 any passenger. They
did not reach the city uutil near four o'clock
yesterday.

Washington, Sept. 2, ls4l.
The Bank Bill is not passed, although the
vote was TO have been taken Immediately after
the remarks of Mr.. Archer The debate how
ever was kept up until it became almost unpar-
liamentary.
Mr.. Archer made a pert argument in favor Of
the Bill, placing Mr.. Rives completely hors du
combat in relation to the assent of the States.
Mr.. Clay made brief but glowing reply 10 Mr..
Buchanan, in relation TO the idea of Mr.. Tyler
going over TO the other side; he said he would
not reproach President Tyler even with the
thought of such thing; although he, Mr.. e.
differed with the President in regard to Bank
of the United States, which he deeply regret
ted, still there could be no feeling in common
between him and the other party. There Is
now some hope tha. we shall have the question
tomorrow, though but little chance OF being
able 10 adjourn before the 10Th inst.
The only thing in The House worth commu-
nicating is the report against Mr.. Levy, the del
egate from Florida, who was not citizen of
the United States, and therefore excluded from
his seat.
A Bill was passed to prevent hereafter the
investment of any funds of The United States in
the stocks of any of the States.

TPASTOUNDING FACTS.GU
Increase of the State Debt.

Tax-paying farmers of Pennsylvania! read
the following and see the fruits of Gov. Porter's
administration. If you are not satisfied with
the correctness of our statements, or if some
loco foco whose interest it is to deceive you
tells you they are "whig lies,' we ask you to
take up the annual official Reports of the Au-
ditor General, State Treasurer, and Commits
sioners of the Internal improvement Fund, made
to The Legislature, and thus satisfy yourselves
that the facts below stated are true to the fig
ure. The books of the Auditor Generals Of
flee and State Treasury bear evidence of the
truth Of those astounding facts, which in all
candor, we are about to inform you of-and
such evidence cannot be impeached.
When GOV. RITNER came into office in
1885, the amount of money that had been bor-
rowed d remained unpaid was $24, ,5S9, ,743, 80.
When he went out Of office in January 1899,
the amount OF money so borrowed and remain
ing unpaid, including temporary loans, was
$25, los, ,0O3,32
This made an increase of debt both perma-
nent and temporary, during Gov. Ritner's ad-
ministraticn of $5l5,26O
When GOV. PORTER came into office in
January 1889, the amount of money borrowed
and unpaid as left by Gov Riner, as above sta
ted was s25, 5,lO5,OO3,32
Two years afterwards, the amount so bor-
rowed and remaining unpaid was $50, ,3Ol ,O13,-
80.
INCREASE DURING TWO YEARS OF
GOVERNOR PORTER'S ADMINISTRA-
TION, l96,OlO,0OOm!
NOR is THIS ALL;-since the last re-
ports of the Auditor General and State Treas
urer, Gov. Porter has borrowed, exclusive of
the loan of May 4, l84l, 81 PAS, ,342, Is, which
added TO the two years increase, shows nett
increase in the money borrowed and unpaid
during two and half years of his adminisira-
tion of S9,444, 1852, ISL!
Taxpayers! are you aware of the amount of
interest you are required to pay annually on
this enormous debt? If not, we will show you,
and ask you TO look at the increase during Gov
Porter's term.
