The Elections.

Seventeen States are TO vote before the twelfth
of October next, and in all parts of the country
the work of marshalling forces is going on with
spirit and promptness Thus far the Wings have
had every cause for rejoicing, Doth in their own
success and in the stern reproofs of our bad ad-
ministration which the popular voice has express
ed They are however but the beginnings of the
more extended and deeper declarations which are
to be made through the ballot-box, and every Wing
must feel the responsibility which the time impo-
to rebuke the bad action and PROSTATE the bad
principles of Locofocos and Locofocoism.
In Maryland the Congressional nominations
have all been made, and it is confidently expected
that every district but the third will return Wings.

ElGN ATTEMPT on the part Of England or

Apprentice Case.

Judge Kelley, of the Quarter Sessions Of Phil
adelphia, few days ago applied the principle of
recent decision of the Supreme Court; that
the binding (of an apprenlice) must be made by
the father, if living, if not by the mother, and
if no father or mother be living, then by the
next friend. In this case, the s,ep-falher hav-
ing officiated, the mother being still living, the
lad was discharged from custody and detention.

The First introduction of Anthra-


The following sia,emen, illustrates mos, for
eibly how much harder i, is TO persuade man.
kind TO believe in truth than fiction and also
illustrates. in some degree, the resources Of
Pennsylvania
Fl is interesting and amusing 10 look back 10
the first attempts made 10 use the anthracite
coal, and TO bring it to market. Hon. Charles
Miner, of Wilkesbarre, in his published acceun,
of his first efforts, in connection with Mr. Cisi,
and other associates, relates some pleasant an.
ecdo,es. On the 9th Of August, 1914, they
started off their first ark from Mauch Chunk
ain less than so rods from the place of start
ing, the ark struck on ledge, and broke hole
in her bow. The lads stripped themselves
nearly naked, to stop the rush of water with
their clolhes." In six days, however, the ark
reached Philadelphia, with its 81 tons of coal
which had by this time cos, $I4 a ton. But
says Mr.. Miner, "we had the greatest diflicul.
ry TO overcome of inducing the public to use
our coal, when brought TO their DOORS"
"We published handbiIs, in English and
German, stating the mode of burning the coal
either in CRATES, smiths forges, or in Stoves
Together we wen, TO several houses in the ci.
ty, and prevailed on the masters 10 allow US 10
kindle fires of anthracite in their CRATES, erect.
ed TO burn Liverpool coal. We attended a,
blacksmilhs' shops, and prevailed upon some
10 alter the Too-iron, so that they might burn
Lehgh coal and we were sometimes obliged
TO brbe the journeyman TO try the experiment
fairly, SO averse were they 10 learn the use OF
new sort of fuel"
How like fable all this seems at the pres
ent day! As we sit before our coal fires and
think of no other, how li,,le do we realize thai
lhisy years ago. Mr. Miner and Mr. Cist were
trying the experiment Of an anthracite fire al
Wilkesbarre, and wondering whether they could
not float an ark load of the coal 10 Philadelphia,
Now We are reckoning the coal trade in mil

Ia ,he Schuylkill region the effort was made

MEXICAN NEWS.

The New Orleans Picayune says that news
had been received al Vera Cruz. by a gentle
man from Ayola, who came by way of Ofiza-
ba. that the vanguard Of Gen. Scouts army bad
reached Ayotla (which is but 90 miles from he
capita) on The 18th 10 which date not a gun
| had been fred
The command of Capt. Wells, was compelled
10 fight its way to the National Bridge, and
| made an attempt 10 pass it, but The heights "a
! round il were all occupied by the Guerrillas,
| who opened heavy fire upon them, causing g
severe loss and killing nearly all The mules and
horses, aud forcing the whole party TO retreat.
All their wagons except one containing the
officers baggage and knapsacks. were left in
possession of the enemy. Loss of Americans
five or six killed and two or three wounded,
and several others subsequently died of fatigue
A detachment of l2 Dragons accompanied by
Surgeon Cooper, previously ydespa,ched by Wells
for The Bridge, and to report TO Lally, has not
since been heard from, and il is supposed the
whole parry have fallen into the hands of The
enemy.
Major Lay is reported to have had severe
skrmIsh with The guerrilIas at Cerro Gordo,
! and expected another at Lapera heights Fhe
letters say there is no doubt of the safety of The
train.
No news had reached Vera Cruz in relation
to Capt. Besancon's company, which had left
on scout at the time that the news of Major
Lally's dangerous position had reached Vera
Cruz 1t is supposed by some that this COM
pany fell in with the train al the National Bridge,
and had gone with it, but il is feared by Others
that the company has been cul off by The Mex
leans.
1t was rumored at Vera Cruz that Gen. Scott
had met The enemy and been repulsed after
sharp engagement, with loss on our side of
800. The Mexican loss unimporlani. The
Picayune's correspondence says there is no
truth in this rumor, but places confidence in the
statement that Gen. Scott had reached Avotla
on the 18th, without any loss.
The letter writer's as we'll as the Vera Cruz
papers concur in the belief that the city Of Mex
leo was in our possession on The 2oh-there
is no positive information TO that effect.

ba TO the 10Th, stating ,ha, the last division of

A rumor has been in circuiaiionin New York
to the effect that the government has recently
privately removed large quantity of specie
from New York TO New Orleans. The sup
posed cause for this secret renewal of specie
was TO avoid creating panic in the money
market. The New York Tribune says:
Z" |, is true that $2,oo0,oOO in specie were
taken lately from this city, and sent TO New
Orleans, via Philadelphia, Plnsburg. and the
Mississippi river. Il was sent TO New Orleans
in charge of a clerk belonging to the Treasury
Department, and was as stated, taken from The
Treasury a lnlle before midngh, to the Phila-
delphia line. This transaction took place with
in day or two of the promulgalion of the re-
port that an arrangement had been made with
RoihschlIds, by which i. would not be neces.
sary TO remove coin, and the day after, those
who had been in the habit of transporting spe-
Gle South, for the Department, had been in.
formed that none would be wanted"

respondent Of that paper:

occurred between Two men who were cousins,
near the Verdigris. and no, far from The line
between the Creeks and Cherokees, relative to
some property, and in which one stamped the
other 10 death. The survivor was immediately
arrested, and the next day was put upon trial
for murder. The Jury being equally divided
in opinion as TO his guilt, his brother was called
upon to decide, which he did by declaring his
brother guilty, and worthy of death. Steps
were Immediately taken TO prepare for the ex-
ecution, and in which the doomed man parici-
pa'ed by hurrying those engaged in digging his
grave-in seeing that it was we'll done and in
making every thing ready. The hour for exc
cu,ion, which was 10 be by shooting. soon ar.
rived; when he marched out with two persons
selected for this purpose. When they reached
the grave, he seated himself by the side of it,
faced his execulioners, Who stood with guns
presented within less than ten PAGES of him;
barred his breast, and, looked Them firmly in The
face, said that he was ready--lhe guns fired
and he fell back along side of his grave, sho,

then rolled into his grave, his clothes deposited
in it with him, and The newly dug earth rolled
