urge the bill this session, but simply introduced

II Youthful Temperance DemonStration-Ihe Old
United tddtes-M. BWton-Baltimore Barn
burners, &c.
The cadets of temperance, composed of boys
inltatory sceoo for the formation of full grown
Sons of Temperance, had grand parade yester-
day. TO the number of about 1000, with sashes, BAN
ners, badges, and several bands of music, making
quite an imposing spectacle. They proceeded to a
beautiful grove in the vicinity, and were addressed
by General Cary, OF Ohio, the Grand Sachem of
the Sons of Temperance.
The United States Hotel, on Pratt street, the ia
vorite stopping place of Mr.. Webster and all the
great, guns OF Congress IN passing. through this
city, has passed into the hands of Messrs. Guy
and Dutton two of the most efficient caterers for
the comfort and appetite of the way-worn travel
Ter. They have rehtted and furnished the house
in magnificent style.
A man named Henry McGee, was killed on
Tuesday by falling off the platform of railroad
car, between this city and Frederick, whilst in
rapid motion.
Mr.. Burton made his appearance last night at
the Front street theatre, Sir Robert Brambe,
and as a matter OF course, drew full house. The
whole piece was played TO admiration, and the en-
tertalnment was most decidedly the best that has
been offered in Baltimore for some time.
There is another speck of barnburnerism spring
ing up in this city, with regard to the sherfialty
the friends of the unsuccessful candidate for the
democratic convention refusing to support Mr..
Cloud, who will, undoubtedly, be the nominee
They assert that the result was produced by pack
ing the ward meetings, which is undoubtedly the
case; but II Is no less true that both the Davies
men and the Cloud meR did their best in this
line, and the latter out-packed the former, not
wlthstandng the organized aid OF the oiiice-hod-
ers In all sections of the city.

both political parties shea, sa!s tine, V ~ W ~
exci,emen, concerning their respective candidates
or the Presidency, are egregious failures. II is to
be presumed, that this is principally owing to the
fact. that the public mind has been for the last two
wears, so accustomed TO the strong excitement
growing out of the delicate position of our foreign
relations, that any mere domestic matter, is re-
garded as comparatively of trivial interest. Among
both native and adopted citizens, there appears TO
be, at this moment, much more anxiety about the
affairs of Ireland than TO the result OF the next
Presidential election.
have before noticed the immense quantity OF
business awaiting the action OF Congress:-the
Oregon bill, the California bill, the appropriation
bills, the measures tor carrying the treaty with
Mexico into effect, and the reduction OF the army.
II Is, now, the fixed determination of majority
OF the Senate, at least, to remain IN session until
eli those measures shall have been fully acted
upon. Allowing reasonable time for the discus
sion of these measures, besides the host OF small
eli ones, claiming the attention OF Congress; the
session will, necessarily, be protracted until late
N the fall; and yet Senators on both SIDES Oh lne
chamber are, at present. employed IN searching
the public records for evidence against the candl
date of their opponents, to be used on the stump
in the approaching campaign
The absence of excitement IN regard TO General
TAYLOR does not speak well for his success; but
yet IN the present chaos OF parties, II is impossible
TO predict the result with any approach to certainty
On both sides the honest men form very small
minority of those very much interested IN the
success of either.
The slavery question will be made test ques-
ton in the electon-at least II is the present dis
position of the majority to make it So and for this
purpose the California bill will be pressed forth
with. There can be no good reason for inserting
anti-savery clause in the Oregon BILL for II Is
impossible slavery should ever exist there. 1t is,
therefore, to be hoped the discussion will be post
poned until the California bill shall come up for
consideration, to permit the Oregon bill to
pass at once.
The premium obtained by the Secretary of the
Treasury in the recent loan, is the largest ever OBJ
tanned by this government. Under the circum-
stances, it may. be regarded as extraord nary
When Mr.. Walker leaves the department it will
be difficult to find person keep it at the high
standard to which he has raised it. 1t must
break down. 1t is full time there another de-
partment combining the patent office, the Indian
Office the land office, lighthouses, the coast
vey, and all such affairs that are foreign to the
business of the several departments to which they
are at present attached. 1t will be impossible to
avoid doing this at the end of this Presidential
term GALvENSIS.

Destructive Hail Storm.

We had terrific storm in this vicinity yester-
day, accompanied with hail stones as large as
hickory nuts. The latter, however, seems to
have been confined to track of about half mile
IN width, and the wind that attended it has occa-
stoned grea, damage as far as heard from. Trees
were torn up by the roots, limbs twisted off and
strcwed along the streets In the lower section OF
Southwark and Moyamensing, hall dozen houses
unroofed, and their walls partially demolished.
The grain below the city has been entirely pros
trated, and the hail has ruined great amount of
the stock on the truck farms. One man alone has
lost ten thousands head of cabbage. All the win
dows of a row of houses facing the west between
Carpenter and Christian street, were broken by the
hail. Fortunately the violence of the storm did
not extend over much space, or there would doubt
less have been some loss of life.

FROM THE WESTERN EMIa RA NTs.--Mr. Shaw ar
rived here on Monday last from Fort John on
Platte river. On his way in he met about 800
wagons of Oregon and California emigrans, and
200 wagons of Mormons. All were getting on
we'll. The first company was about 500 miles from
the settlements, and the last one about $50 miles
company of California emigrants, numbering
,bout sixty, had little difficulty with the Paw
nces, but no person was injured. From the best
information we can gather, the emigration this
season to Oregon and California will not exceed
three hundred and fifteen wagons-about sixteen
hundred souls. The Mormons are leaving Camp
Israel in large numbers, and at this time inward OF
six hundred wagons have left for the Salt Lake.
The outbreak among the Indians will not deter
them from crossing the plains this season., as they
are anxious that all their brethren should get to-
gether as soon as possible: Three Mackinaw
BOATS, loaded with robes and furs, passed down to-
day. They bring no news from the mountains
The Indians were all quiet.--&. Joseph's Gazette,
