DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF CLERGrMaN.-
The Roy, James Jackson, late of the Diocese
of Massachusetts, young and promising cler-
gyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
who has boon residing at Savannah, Geo,
more recently, committed suicide last week UNI
der peculiarly painful circumstances. The Sa-
vannah Republican of Monday says, he had re-
turned but a few days from the South, where
he had been travelling for the restoration ofhis
health, which had been!mpared by laborious
performance of his clerical duties. He was ap-
parently very much restored by his absence,
and his friends hoped that he would be enabled
to resume his very acceptable services at ST.
Johns Church But their hopes and his were
doomed to a wretched disappointment, for af-
ter exhibiting on the few previous days strong
evidences of wldness, he suddenly left the city
on Wednesday morning, without giving any
notice of his intended departure, and although
suspicion was Immediately excited and search
made during the day and night he was moi
found until the next morning, having drowned
himself in the river opposite Bonaventure.
Ills body was recovered and the Coroner's in
quest had no hesitation, upon the very strong
testimony submitted to them, to bring an in
slant verdict of insanity" Thus has persisted
a young clergyman, whose pulpit performances
had given high evidence Of intellectual power,
and whose blamelessness of life had won him
many friends in the city.

REVENUE BILL. The st. Johns IN. B.
Chronicle says-lt is reported that a strong
disposition pervades the House to equalize the
duties on all imported goods, whether from En-
gland or the United States, placing them at 5
or l-2 per cent. We can scarcely believe
that the Assembly would adopt such a runous
policy towards our infant manufactures; and
placing American manufactures on the same
footing as British may, at no distant day, bring
about an equalization Of the timber dutes-a
circumstance which it behooves us by all means
to avoid bringing on ourselves.

Foul PLAY. The Village, Pa, Record says
eve have horrid report that the body of a
man was ploughed up by farmer, in his field
near Chaddsford, near the Southern line or
Chester county. We have no authentic de-
tails, though it was said that pedlar was mis-
sei in that vicinity about year since. There
has been foul play

SOMETHING New. A bill which passed the
Pennsylvania Legislature, few days since, al.
lows six hundred dollars this year, to convicts
leaving the Penitentiaries, with view of as
sisting them to reach their place Of residence,
or some desirable place for labor The design,
says the U. S. Gazette, is excellent, and such
as does credit to the Legislature of the Com
monwealth, that provides such system of
prison discipline as distinguishes Pennsylvania.

TIE FIRE RIOTS.

Every good citizen is called upon, from
sense of duty, to do all in his power TO put a
stop to these dsgraoeful riots, and to rescue
the misguided young men engaged in them
from impending ruin. There is perhaps no CT
ty in the union better provided with suitable
apparatus, or with more intrepid firemen, than
Baltimore, but as it too often happens, that
the best of institutions are liable to abuse, 50 il
has happened to fire companies, in this and in
other cities, that spirit of rivalry and even
hatred has been engendered, which has broken
out into alarming acts of violence and wanton
destruction of property. The members of the
different fire companies disavow any pafticipa-
tion in these riots, and lay the blame on boys
and young men who are not members, but W no
attach themselves to the different companies
voluntarily. However this may be, the evil
exists and the inquiry ought TO be, what is the
remedy! But first let us inquire, what is the
cause OF this mania among the young people
for fire companies? think it may be traced
to the love of noise and parade common to
most boys, and TO the resemblance which fire
companies have to military; in short, that it is
the military spirit, turned into a wrong channel.
Now the plain remedy s, to revive the truo
military spirit, once the glory of Baltimore; and
no better material for soldiers need be desired
than these very same young men who arc now
running wild They are brave, active and
hardy, and under intelligent officers would SOON
imbibe the spirit of American patriots, break
up their present corrupting associations, and
become the defence instead of the terror of the
city, The experiment is well worthy of fair
trial.
One great cause Of the decline Of the mill
tary spirit in this city, was the expensive uni
forms adopted by the volunteer companies,
which in the present instance ought to be
avoided. The plain grey jacket and panta-
looms, with the cap worn by the cadets of
West Point, are both cheap and becoming, and
might be very properly adopted here.
Youth requires some exercise to keep them
from going astray:.r hence the shows and games
of other countries; and in this, there is nothing
more suitable and manly than military discip-
line.
1t is understood that the Legislature has en-
acted very severe penalty against minors at
taching themselves to fire companies, and 1t
would be well if the teachers Of all our male
schools would exercise their authority in break
ing up this practice, especially i'll public schools,
where so many boys are congregated; and it is
submitted to the consideration of
whether the organization of Il
in the High School would not have
a salutary effect in reviving the military spirit
among our youth, and of destroying The spirit
of lawless violence now so prevalent among
them. NORTH PoiNr,

There are some mistakes afoat about General
Gaines and the course of the administration
When the "New York Sun" states that "the acts OF
the General have received the approval of the gov.
ernment," we must say that we not advised tina,
this is the When it goes on further to say
that she has been clothed with more ample dscre
tionary powers" we undertake TO say that this is a
mistake.
And when correspondent ofthe "New York
Courier undertakes to say that General Gaines
"had written to the Texian government, calling on
them to embody three thousand volunteers for the
service of the United States" repeat, that he is
mistaken, and that the Department of War is moi
informed Of the fact.
The truth is, that the army Of occupation is un-
der the special command of General Taylor--tha
he will call for military assistance when he thinks
Unnecessary We have not understood that he has vel
called upon the governors Of the States, under the
general instructions of the Executive; and it ia
still probable that he will direct the gallant voun.
teers of New Orleans to return to their homes.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE SLAVE cAsE.-Cathe-
rine Lindsay, the servant girl Of Mr.. Hodgson, oil
Savannah, Ga, who was arrested and taken before
Judge Dewey, at Northampton, on writ of habeas
corpus, through the agency of Dr. Hudson, OF
West Springfield, has sued said Hudson for false
Imprisonment, laying her damages at $1,000 The
suit is brought in the common pleas court for Suf-
folk, which meets at Boston in October As Hud-
refused TO give the necessary bail, 81 ,500 he
was committed to Jail, in this town, on Monday
last In his arrest and commitment, he played the
part of good "non-resisant," and was about as
helpless bag of cotton. Spring field Republican.
In addition to this, we understand that Mr. Hodg-
son has presented four individuals of the mob who
came to the hotel with the sheriff. to the grand jury,
who will doubtless indict them for riot. A suit viii
also be instituted for the loss Of services consequent
on the habcas corpus.
These legal proceedings Of Mr.. Hodgson will
contribute to arrest, in degree, at least the
gross outrages which constantly perpetrated by
the aboionists upon southern citizens.

From another correspondent
NEW YoRK, Sept. IL, Il

New YoRK, Sept. IL, ls45.
You have the news by the Great Western,
which you find not of great importance. That OF
most interest to us is the prospect of large demand
for American produce in England owing to the con-
tinued bad weather there which il was feared would
greatly damage their growing crop The number
of passengers by the Great Western was very large
las in number-too large for comfort and conve-
nience This of course is the fault, not Of the
captain and officers of the boat but Of the agents
the other side and il leads to considerable complaint
on the part of the passengers.
Some few busy-bodies, however, who were
among the last to take their passage, and who
suppose expected to find the same comforts on
board that they had been used to at the fremont
House, drew up a formal bill Of complaints, or pro-
test against the boat agents, captain, and officers,
steward, chambermaid and all hands. This missile
was drawn up bya Bostonian, (no selfinterest con-
nected with il, of course,) and signed by twelve
others besides himself Whether. all the others
were Boston gentlemen or not, am unable to say;
but true il is not single native Of this city signed
il. Per conirs, a card highly favorable to Capt
Mathews the officers, and the boat itself, signed
by nearly all the passengers. She has very full
cargo.
The weather never WINS more delightful than al
present; and our local senatethe members of which
are of the order of the BATH and, generally speak
ing. members of the bar-fully appreciate its whole
some character; and their arduous duties are con-
Quoted with great propriety and judgment, owing
in great measure, 10 the superior ability OF the
