ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Quite an excitement was produced in our city
on Monday, by an announcement that an attempt
had been made to assassinate our worthy Mayor,
JOHN Nj. SCOTT, Esq. The occurrence took
place between one and two o'clock. 1t seems that
an Italian named Adelbert Benedict Ptolemius,
had been in the habit of calling at the Mayors
office, and making inquiries of one kind or anoth-
er, and alleging that he was in very destitute
condition. Money had been repeatedly given him.
He seemed very anxious to get room or place to
reside in, and quite annoying in his inquiries.
On Monday he called and inquired for the May
or, but Police Officer Young said that the Mayor
was busy, and could not be disturbed. He, how
ever remained in the Office, and watched until the
gentleman. who was on a visit to the Mayor, came
out of the private Office, when he euncerernoniously
pushed his way in. He then required the Mayor
to furnish him with house, but that officer not
having leisure to listen to his absurd importunes
rendered him some money, supposing him to be in
distress, and turned to leave the room by passing
through door leading into an adjoining office
Upon this, the Italian drew pistol of small SIZE
and apparently new, and discharged it. The ball
struck the Mayor in the back, passed through his
coat and vest, and fortunately struck the suspen-
ders where they crossed, and glanced Sideways
The wound, therefore, only amounted to severe
bruise. although the Mayor was considerably stag
gered by the shock, the effects Of which may still
prove unpleasant. At this point, officer Young
entered and arrested the man. with the pistol in his
hand, re-cocked He made no resistance, and be-
ing unable to speak English, gave no explanation
Some powder and several balls were found upon
his person.
We learn with pleasure that Mayor Scott is now
considered out of all danger, and was anxious to
resume the duties of his office on Tuesday He
yielded to his physicians however, and remained
at home His escape was certainly narrow and
indeed providcntial.
Iotolemius, the Italian who attempted to assass-
nate the Mayor, made an attempt the same night
upon his own life, while in his cell at Moyamen-
sing. He cut a vein in one Of his arms with
pen knife, and also stabbed himself in the foot
When found in the morning, he had handker-
chief tied in a moose about his neck, and his bed
and clothes were covered with blood. He had
evidently made several desperate attempts to COM
nit suicide The unhappy man is said to be in.
sane, and if so, he should be duly confined, and
thus prevented from any further attempts at assas-
sination His petitions to the Mayor, written IN
French, show that he was in utter despair, and
that he mistook the powers and duties of that Off
Ger under the circumstances Ptolemius is pain
ter by profession, and with high and extravagant
norions, was probably unwilling to resort to ordi-
nary labor. and unable to find employment in his
particular art. ... .

proceeded favorably. and to have fully demon
strated the possibility, of erial travelling. AS
the machine was progressing with rapidity,
its conductor discovered that something had gone
wrong with the machinery, and in his confusion
forgot to remove the weight from the safety valve
The consequence was, that several of the pipes
Immediately burst, which rendered the machine
entirely unmanageable; and, having upset, it de-
scended with fearful rapidity. Professor Geolls

THE TREASURY NOTE AFFAIR

No little excitement has been created in New

$3.50 Oo0l The particulars we copy from the
Tropic of the 1st inst
On the 26th of July last, more than months
ago, package containing S130,O00 in U. States
Treasury Notes, was sent by mail from the Gus
tom House to the Treasury Department at Wash
ington. The package, it appears, never reached
its destination, and during the past week an agent
from the Treasury Department, charged with the
business of investigation has arrived in this city
He has been busy engaged in probing the affair
to the bottom, but yet the result of his labors
has not been made known Enough has trans
pred, however, to render it quite certain that the
money did not leave the city. 1t seems that the
Treasury notes when received here are marked

their further circulation, i'll case of accident. If
the notes in the missing package were so marked
the marks did not accomplish the purpose intend

! Dreadful Accident-E Explosion, Of the boil

Dreadful Accident-Erplosioa1 of the boil
er ofthe Steamer Harry Of the West.
We have been favored with the following ex-
tract OF letter, from passenger on board the
Harry of the West, dated
.... LOUISVILLE, April 23d, 1S43
sOn the 10Th inst, the steamboat Harry of the
West, on her way from New Orleans TO St. Lou
is, having shipped forty cords of wood at a point
forty miles below Memphis, on the Mississippi
River, was about leaving the bank, when two flues
.ofthe second larboard boiler collapsed One of
the fremen, who stood directly IN front ofthe boil
er was blown overheard, and doubtless instantly
killed. Another was found dead on the forecastle
deck. Several Of the hands, including the two
cooks, are missing, besides some of the deck pas
sengers. One cabin passenger is also missing
Another had his jaw broken in two places. An
other was badly bruised and injured internally by
steam A deck passenger with twelve hundred
dollars in gold, in belt round his person, jumped
overheard and was drowned alongside the boat
leaving his wife and child on board 1 saw four
other men floating down stream, holding on to
drift wood.
ga skiff from fiat boat put off after them but
whether they were saved or not, cannot say
Nor was it known, nor do think it ever will be
known, how many, all told, are lost The mate
had his leg broke in two places Another man,
also, had his leg broken. Five orsix ofthe hands
attached to the boat were badly scalded-some of
them very severely.
"The steamer Gray Eagle was wooding, at the
time of the accident, about three and half miles
above the Harry of the West She Immediately
came down to our assistance, took the Harry Of
the West in tow, and drew her to Memphis
act of great kindness and humanity to the wound
ed, on the part of Captain Shallcross. -,
"The Harry of the West is a new boat built at
Cincinnati for the ST. Louis and New Orleans
trade, and is owned in ST. Louis She is believed
to be the largest boat ever built at Cincinnati
She is 232 l-2 feet in extreme length her breadth
across the guards abreast of the wheels, is SO l2
feet and she has an eight feet hold. Her bur.
then is $50 tons. Her cabin is 160 feet long, and
she has fortytwo airy state rooms each eight feet
square She has excited much admiration, for her
size, beauty of model and splendor of decoration,
wherever she has appeared"

Mr.. VAN BUREN does not wish to be Pre-
sdent of the United States again and Mr. Cal
houn says he does not wish to be considered as
"a candidate soliciting the Office of President" -
Here, then. are the two prominent men avowing g
themselves Indifferent about the matter while their
peculiar friends" discussing the merits of each
with zeal that endangers the harmony OF the
democratic party. One naturally asks why it is
that these peculiar friends are creating 80 much
dscord in our ranks, when the gentlemen them
selves are so indifferent about the matter 2
Mr.. Van Buren says that he has en- joyed public
office ''long enough to CRAFTY his utmost ambi-
tion y and but the other day he wrote to the Indi-
an Convention that ''no right-minded man, occu-
pying the Presidential chair, after he has had an
opportunity to Judge by experience of its effects,
will desire to possess it." We argue from this,
then, that Mr.. Van Buren does not ''desire" (beng
''right-minded man." as he certainly iS} to be
President again. Then, what motive impels GER
tain political presses 10 urge his claims with such
unbecoming zeal? His for their "re0ard or hope
Of rc~Grd." There lies the great secret of this
Scufie between the 'peculiar friends of each gem
tleman. Such "spoiLsmen" we despise; whether
they muster under the democratic or whig banner !;
and We go for drumming them out of camp; for
they only spread pestilence and disorganization !;
injure any cause they advocate, and bring Repub-
lican Principles into disrepute with the people
What enables the federal party to muster so strong,
at times, in this land of liberty2 The corrup-
tiOns of the democratic party the conduct of such
men as we have just described, and that John
Randolph described as men of seven principles,
five loaves and two fishes. Purge the democra-
tic party of such men as these, and you strike a
death-blow to all opposition to democratic princi-
pies
1t was such men and such contentious as we
have described, that frustrated every measure Of
the last North Carolina Legislature 1t was
these men and these despicabfe contentious that
engendered feelings of hate and envy, which were
never after reconciled and prevented all union fol
any desirable ends.
1t was the same sort of men, and the same
sort of contention, combined with other canses
that dismembered and cast to the four quarters o
the political compass, the 'universal whig party,
and it is the same sort that the democratic party
have now to fear Whenever party lose sight
of principle-forget the ties which bind them to
gether, and get to contending about men, in other
words, the spoils, then may they hope for the bes
while they prepare for the worst. -.
