Gen. Taylor and NEr. Clay.

The Philadelphia North American says: A
friend in The Wes,-and we take occasion 10
say. By way of Pareu;hess, most intelligent
and accomplished friend-has written US brief
gossippng letter, from which, though it was
intended only for our own perusal, We are
tempted 10 make The following extract !:
:" / returned yesterday from risit 10 Ken
lucky, during which | passed two days a, Ash
land with Mr. Clay found him very feeble,
but entirely relieved from all symptoms of dis
ease, and reganipg his Strength daily. He
was able 10 take an hours drive On pleasant
day. His spirits still elastic, his mind is
still active, energetic and vigorous. and his pa
trioiism is still as glowing as ever. He en-
jDyed with true relish the defeat of Locofoc o.
ism in The late Presidential election. and in.
dulged IN living hopes of The good 10 be accom-
pIished for The country by Gen. Taylor's ad-
ninisHa,ion. On The day of my arrival, he re-
cei,ed q long. warm-heatled, afeciiona,e leiier
from Old Zack,' full of the same confidence
and attachment the latter has felt for Old Hal
for more than thirty years. The noble minded
old hero significantly repelled The idea that the
efforts Of petty mousers 10 estfange them could
possibly in any case, prove eifeciual and this
was but the echo of sentiments contained in a
letter from Mr.. Clay TO him short time before
the election You will, am sure, be glad TO
hear all thl.. and tina, Mr.. Clay enjoyed j, with
a sensitiIi'y becoming to him and proper TO the
occasion"
Mr. Clay has invited Gen. Taylor 10 visit
Ashland, and partake Of It's hospitalnies on his
way 10 Washington.

Murder af the yIOulIa.

On Wednesday, The 13lh instant, bloody
and an instantaneous murder was committed
a, The mouth of the Lackawaxeu
The railroad bridge across the mouth being
so far completed as 10 allow the transit of fnol
passengers, large number of iaborers on The
railroad insisted upon passing over il, TO and
from their employment, 10 The annoyance and
delay of The carpenters. Consequently the la
borers were forbidden 10 use the bridge until
lis completion, at which restriction many Of
them were greatly incensed O'Eer difficulties
existed Some of The aborers had stolen tim
ber from the bridge, legal proceedings had been
taken against them; and the properly " as found
si their .hantees on the morning. OF Wednes-
day. The legal proceedings spoken of, in
measure suspended work on the part of The la
bnrers, and they repaired to he tavern for the
purpose of inroxication. Al noon, of The same
day. the carpenters went 10 dinner, as usual,
al Mr.. Dutcher's tavern, and all went into The
dining room, except Mr. George Kay, who tar
red momen, in the bar-roon, where were
four laborers, all Irishmen. Almost instantly,
one of The lrishmen plunged knife into Kay's
breast, piercing the heart and killing him so
speedily that he had time only 10 make one ex-

pursuer overlook him. When The foremost
carpenter came up TO him, he struck him with
his fst as he ran, knocking him headlong to he
ground. When The other carpenters came up
they fell 10 kicking and beating The laborer and
bruised him siockngly. This was in full sight
of four or five hundred Irish laborers, who were
employed, upon the other side of The river on
the works of the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company. Unknowing what had happened,
this mass OF lrshmen became intensely excl
ted, and but for the promp, and energetic inter
ference of The superinlenden,s they would have
rushed to the rescue. 1t required great tact
and decision 10 restrain ,hem-and fortunate
was it that they were restrained, for otherwise
lamentable collision would have occurred.

10 the Spanish ambassador, has conirlved 10

Governor refused TO fix day for receiving Mr..
Davis, and when he al last appointed one, he
did so when that gentleman was absent al Ma

conveyed TO him, sent word that he would wait
on his excelIency al The time appointed. and
left Macao without delay, but was retarded in
his progress up the river by contrary winds,
and reached Canton day TOO late. He sen,

The Gold Fever.

On our first page will be found pretty full de-
scription of the wonderful discoveries in Caifor-
MA, which we doubt not will be read with interest.
There seems 10 be host of adventures preparing
10 emgrae 10 that country from our cities and sea
ports, and indeed from all parts OF the interior
many are trying TO devise means 10 get there. In
ew York city, handbills are 10 be seen in every
lar-room announcing the speedy departure of an
expedition to California. The Correspondent OF
ne Ledger, says IL know of one large boarding
house in this city, where twenty of the inmates
have subscribed from $4,000 Down to $500 each.
TO defray the expenses of gold venture. The
company will leave within month. Another as
sociation, in which one individual has embarked
$4,000 is now being organized. and will proba-

8rst of March. The excitement in relation TO the
gold region is intense, especially among the young

Political Scraps.

are afraid the devil will have the job upon his
hands yet.
1 The Washington Union axis very complacently
whether the country, during The administration OF
Mr. Polk has not been "covered with plenty"-
Oh yes, plenty OF war, plenty of taxes, plenty OF
prescription plenty of speculation, and plenty OF
corruption in general.
The Washington Union advises the office see
kers not TO despair, but TO "pick their lints and
Try it again." Many rascals among them may

Chapman, of the indianapolis Sentinel. has
brought forth an idea that Gen. Taylor, throughout
the late war was jealous of Gen. Lane! As a
warrior, the old hero was jealous ofJoe Lane, and
as civilian, he will perhaps be jealous of Chap
man.
The editor ofthe Union calls the Wings ''hol-
low hearted" The old gentleman himself is not
exactly ''holow-heared His heart is full
enough-but alas for the filling.
The editor of the Union says he hopes for the
success of Gen. Taylor's administration but that
I" confidence is plan, Of slow growth in an aged
BOSOM" We have no doubt that if lie thought it
his interest to have confidence in Gen. Taylor,
the plant would spring up in his aged bosom with
the rapidity of Jonahs gourd.

more of its subscribers it will be the most aban-
doned paper in this part of the country.

ward of 200 miles from, Piermont The new part
of the Road, says the Tribune, by far the most
difficult and expensive on the whole route has
been graded and built in a little more than two
years. Wide rivers have been crossed by costly
and permanent stone structures; deep valleys have
been raised to the required level; culsertS, unex-
structed high and broad mountains have been
brought low or pierced by nel-formed exca-
vaiions; until the greatest difficulties of this work
are at length overcome. The Road, we under
stand, is graded beyond Binghamton to Owego,
and even far as Elmira, is in an advanced stage
Of forwardness. The grade onward to Lake Erie

already been SO bravely met and triumphantly
overcome When the New York and Erie Rail-
