SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.-The Os-
wego Advertiser announces the death of
William G. Turner, who recently had charge
Of the Electric Telegraph at that place, and
attributes his disease to the daily inhalation of
the noXious gases arising from the batteries
which arc strongly charged with mercury,
acted upon by powerful acids-with which
his system became imprcgnated.
ISSUE OF TREASURY NOTEs.-The New
York Express says A cashier in one of our
largest deposit banks, received letter yes
tcrday from the Treasury Department, stat
ing that the Treasury Notes would be paid
out Immediately indeed it is stated that about
two millions have already been sent to the
disbursing officers. Thus it appears the adj
vice of Mr.. Webster is followed at st,-which
was that the issue should take place before
the Government exhausted their funds in
bank. This policy will relieve the bank,
here and elsewhere, from the apprehension
of being called on suddenly for the amount
they have in deposit. In this respect the
money market will be sensibly relieved, and
there will be less senstiveness than there has
been. 1t seems that the Government are not
only putting out their Treasury Notes, but
also Treasury warrants, both of which will
be very acceptable to the mercantile commu-
nifty"

The VIEW FROM MoNTEREY.-Cast the
eye beyond Monterey, (says the Monterey
Flag) and the sublime presents itself IN lofty
upreared pyramids of adamantic stone, tinged
with crimson red, where the creeping vine
cannot be found, and where the cedar and
pine--children of the Alpine heights-have
never dared to rear their hcads-thc sides
and SUBMITS Of these vast mountains present
ing nothing to view but the bare and glisten-
ing stone, but in whose bosom lie concealed
beds of pure silver, and sparkling beds of viz
gin gold.
In the midway distance rise numerous table
mounds, commanding the town and all the
entrances from the northeast. Upon one of
these commanding positions the devoted peo-
pie endeavored to raise temple for their
bishop, but their zeal was greater than their
means, and the structure remains unfinished.
If the Mexicans could Withstand the double
dealing havoc of an American charge, here
might they plant the colors of their unfortu-
nate country, and reap some of the laurels a.
warded to Lconidas, or perhaps family por
tray in miniature the dazzling chivalry of
those devoted heroes who fell battling upon
the ramparts Of the eyer-to-be-remembered
Alamo.
The main road passes through the princi-
pal street Of the city from North to South,
and as you leave the last houses, the road be-
gins to ascend, and passes along at the foot OF
many Of those table mounds. The river runs
upon the East side Of the town, the houses
down to It's very margin. Upon
the West side rise perpendicular mountains,
one mile in height.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ST. ALBANs.
About 2 o'clock on the morning of We'd
nesday last, the inhabitants of ST. Adams
were suddenly aroused from their slumbers
by loud cries Of Fire and the quick tolling Of
the fire bell.
1t was soon discovered that the large Iron
Foundry lately owned and occupied by
Messrs G. G. & w. G. SMITH, was on fire,
and that the adjacent dwelling houses were
in consequent danger. Immediate efforts were
mrdc by the large concourse of persons pres
ent to stay the progress and devastation of tho
flames; but all attempts to prevent the de-
struction Of the Foundry Building with
their contents were unavailing. The es.
Enlistment was wholly consumed, including
valuable steam engine, q very ingenious and
expensive lathe, large number of nicely
wrought and beautiful patterns and TASKS, to-
gcther with the entire stock of moulderrS'
tools, The buildings we're densely filled with
castings of all kinds to the amount eighty tons
which were so injured as to be of no more
value than so much old iron.
The dead loss to the proprietors cannot be
less than ten thousand dollars, exclusive of
the amount insured in the Vermont Mutual
Co., which is S 2,600.-.S Adams Messenger.

houses and other property; also to the sac11-
fee of several lives.
Carmargo may be considered the head OF
navigation, as above here the bed Of the rlv-
CT is so filled up with rocks that its navigation
higher up has never been attempted: The
road upon leaving Carmargo and crossing the
San Juan, becomes higher and less obstructed
by swainpy grounds, and it then becomes an
important inquiry what other obstacles may
present themselves in the distance between
this place and Monterey, which is 210 miles.
The road passes through level country,
thickly set with small underwood, the largest
timber being ebony and mosquito, neither of
which grow to the height of more than 2 or
Is feet, and IL to / 4 inches in diameter. So
dense is this underground, armies of 10000
men each might march for half day within
a mile of each other without the vicinity OF
one being known to the other.

The SLANDERER In the article headed TIE
Slandere1, WOMAN is represented as the busy body,
which may be considered by some readers rs cast
ing an undue Censure upon the fair sex | should
have substituted man for woman had not the writer
of the article been Of the sex last named. The high
honor Of being sardcrcr should not be coveted Ly
either SEX for each furnishes s quota Of this noto-
rious class.
Woman, as rule, is superior to Man In refne-
ment Of sympathetic feeling and morality, but theys
has been in all ages an exception to this ruIe--un
occasional ''She Wolf" that has slaughtered her
thousands and thrown into the shade ordinary dor-
redators on virtue, Of the other sex.
7~o cases Of Ram selling by females in this town
have occurred Of late they seeming to set the men
at defiance. One Of them was sent to Rutland jail
for this and consequent innovations on the peace of
community, The other was arraigned on Monday
last lin connection with two men, charges Of mis-
demeanorD and was required to find bail in the sulu
of 500, for herappeGrance at the County Court soon
to be held. The Town Hall was filed with witness-
and spectators on the glorious occasion Of the tr-
al! When woman's mind has this bent she seems
to possess more power to lure to destruction than
man, but either has power enough that way.

WHERE THE WAR Is.-As all thercunto
pertaining is Of deep interest, perhaps our
readers will welcome some description of what
old Joe WHieH would call where the war
is" The Matamoras Flag gives the follow

the army of occupation, which will use it as a
permanent depot for their munitions, etc.

Carmargo is situated Immediately upon the
banks of the San Juan river, three miles
from its junction with the Rio Grande. 1t
is small, rudely constructed village, with
some few stone buildings, many built of mud
bricks dried in the sun, some constructed by
driving stakes into the ground, and then plas-
tering them with mud, and others formed Of
cane and plastered in like manner. The
number of inhabitants will not exceed two
thousand but as the Mexican Government
has never thought her population worthy of
enumeration, no statement can be made ofthe
population Of any of their towns. The late
extraordinary rise of the Rio Grande has
caused the San Juan to back up and literally
inuudate Carmargo, to the great damage of

OUR RAILRoAD.-Mr. Gilbert, with his
party of Engineers has nearly completed the
locating survey from Burlington to this place
We have examined the Maps and ProGles of
the located line from Burlington to Middle
bury, CAS- miles) and do not hesitate to pro-
nounce it for directness Of line, ease Of curves
and grades, and cost of construction, as good
line as can be found in New England Mr.
Gilbert assures us that the line from Middle
bury to this place is equally good with that
north of Middlebury; making sixty-fve miles
of cheaper road, than any line of the same
length in New England The result of the
locating survey so far, is highly gratifying to
the friends of the project, as it has establish
ed the fact that our road can be built cheap
er even than Mr.. Gilbert first estimated We
are now assured that the whole sixty-fve
miles from Burlington to Rutland can be gra-
ded, including masonry and bridging, for
100000 AS soon ms the surveys are com
pieted to this place, and the proflcs and esti-
mates are made up, it is the intention of the
building committee to advertise portions of
the road for contract Already proposals
have been received from responsible contrac-
tors for grading portions of the road upon
highly advantageous terms for the company
The locating survey has ascertained the
Ieaslulllly OF new lines that Will better accom-
modate some of the towns upon the line,more
particularly through the town of Pttsford
In the meantime the shareholders are re-
spending to the assessment with the hearty
good will which shows them in earnest in the
matter and which is the best guarantee to the
Directors for q vigorous prosecution of the
work. In several of the towns the assessment
has been paid on erery share, and in others it
is nearly paid The shareholders have disap-
pointed themselves even in the promptitude
with which they have responded to the call of
the Directors.
We learn, too, that the President of the
Cheshire road has at length satisfied himself
that the Rutland road is toenty miles shorter
than ANY other route from Boston to Bur-
lington. Matters now seem in train for
happy adjustment of whatever difference may
heretofore have existed between the Rutland

Gocernor Se'carfs Defence Of Freeman. Ex-Gov.
Stewards able plea in behalf Of Freeman who mur-
dered the Van Nest family has been received from
friend in Auburn The plea set up in behalf Of the
prisoner, was insanity and this ground was most a.
bly, and ngenousy maintained, but did not avail to
the rescue of the culprit The use of TIE intoxcat
ing cup and the neglect Of moral culture in child
hood, together with the imprisonment and brutal
treatment Freeman received while in prison, On
what he alledged to be false testimony, were the
chief causes of nstigaton to the horrid murders Lo
perpetrated, He had portion Of hsdianmixed with
his African blood which will account in part for the
spirit of revenge which seemed toactuatc him in tina
bloody transaction named.
From the foregoing and other similar cases, rs
can see the Importance of educating children and
youth is righteous principles We may also see the
curse which Legislators and Rumsellers arc inAict-
ing on community by licensing and vending intoxi-
eating drinks. Educate children right and rumsoll.
ing and murders will cease.
