From all parts of the State, we hear COM
plants of the Committee on Public Safety"
appointed by the late Revolutionary Convention.
Notwithstanding the important duties, with which
they are charged, instead of remaining at home to
perform them they leave their districts and neg
lect to take care Of the"Publie Safety" We have
yet another to add to the list of deserters. The
"Senior," who is charged with tue duties for this
district, has been absent for two or three dnys,du
ring the past week, thus shameiully deserving his
post. But thanks to the good order of the citi.
zens about here, the Public Sarety" has not been
outraged, aud from the best information we have
received, the waters Of Hooking still run down
stream.
Still from what has been, we can have no cri
terion of what may be, and the general desire oil
our people is that the "Senior" will not again ell
danger the Public Safety" by desertng his post

TIA Ghost storv

Last week we published marvellous ghost sto
ry from paper in Western New York. The
Rochester Democrat thus relieves pnblic curiosity
in that regon
Pretty much all New York has been
agitated with a story ofa "ghost" at the
house of John I. Fox, in Arcadia, Wayne
county. Hundreds of people have flock
ed thither to satisfy themselves that il
was n verilable ghost: thousands pam
phlets have been sold giving a minute
description ofits mysterious "raps;" and
the excitement ran so high that a strong
suspicion was entertained that foul muir
der had been committed, and the guilty
perpetrator was pointed out by the ghost
Ridiculous aud absurd as all this appear
ed, it yet found believers. But the mise
ry is at last revealed, as we are informed
by correspondent writing from New
ark, who has been at the house and seei
many who were at first duped. He say,
that zone man who was at FIRST as strong
a believer as any one could be, says b,
never was so completely gulled before
He was satisfied himself that one of tn,
family caused the humping to be mad'
by the beadstead; in fact he says he Sa,
them do III There are some yet. though
who believe some unknown spirit i
there"
Thus ends the humbug. We hope th,
pamphlets are all spoken for!

As the time approaches, public anxiety iRcreas-
es to know the action Of the Wing National Con-
vention. OF all the candidates. none are without
"A host of admirers aud it is exceedingly difficult
to approximate to right guess Even the most
thorough bred yankee would find his usual habit
a, fault. But dark as this may appear, we are
well assuered that the masses. in this region are
prepared to support the nominee. They are sat
is6ed that the 300 good Wings, who are 10 as
semble at Philadelphia next month, will not be
guilty of any act that may have tendency to IN
jure the the prosperity of the party and thereb,
endanger the success ofcorrect principles.

Mortality in Mexico.

Disease has made sad havoc in the Georgia Re
giment. An officer, writing home, says:
"Of nearly four hundred men who left
Columbus in the FIVE companies, we have
not more than .forty fit for duty. About
thirty FIVE are in hospitals in Jalapa, and
the remainderin that of Perole. Up to the
l1th inst, one hundred and ninely-ihree
had died and been discharged. The sur
geon has adopted the humane policy Of
discharging the sick, and in consequence
a number are now being discharged to
go home by the next train. AN the off.
GERS are nowin good health, and we hope
that, the fever having spent its rage, the
small remnant of our forces may be spared

Two sided Compliments.

The late Revolutionary Convention has given
rise to several good jokes. 1t twould appear, too
that some of the speakers have the good fortune
to be the "sport" of both parties. Instance:--
The Chilicothe Gazette relates tho following
good 'un:"
'AnIncident which occurred this morn.
ing will illustrate the bravery of those
wordy revoulOnists. Ono of them had
regaled the crowd with what he called
"the only Wing war he ever heard Of"
the "Bu.kshot war at Harrisburg" and
concluded by sayng-"Give me a regi.
ment Of Democratic boys, and will
whip all the wings in the Slate!" Well,
this morning, our buckshot orator was
seated between a couple of Wings, at
the breakfast table, neither of whom pre-
tended to know him.
1a Whig,-Did you hear the buckshot
speech last nightl
I'd Whig,-No: what was itl
The first Wing relateda he could
remember of the speech, talking across
the plate of the buckshot orator. After
he had concluded his narrative, the sec,
ond whig remarked
H'd like TO have a private interview
of about Ave minutes with the scoundrei
and I'd show him one Wing that could
fight at all events!"
Mr.. Buckshot slipped his coffee and cu
his toast with trembling hand, but said
nothing. He had bottled all his courage
for democratic Hall"
But our ueighbors of the Eagle are determin
ed not to be behindhand with their Wing cotem
porary They have perpetrated the lollowins
Our friend RANKIN won a good repu
tation for talent among the delegates o
the Convention, by his able and amusing
speech, and, now, that he has been al
most forced to cast off d.6fdence or reSero
and come forward to the rostrum, we
trust that he will not let it be the onl,
} effort he will make in the course of th
campaign. We now point him out t.
our friends in the country, as gentleman
of thorough democracy, fine talents, ,goot
= address and much~tact and experience
and as he has been too modest to come ou
and participate in our discussions an,
political gatherings, we shall suggest IL
: The democracy as occasion offers, to pWs,
! lam into public Seroice, whenever the.
would like to be stirred up with speech
: whether in aid of their own measures o
in an onslaught upon Mexican federal
ISM"
: Our friend denies that there is the sembanc
of truth in the first mticle-and ms we suppos
he will be 10th to deny anything that appears i
the Eagle, we must for him positively aver thu
the charge of being 'too modest" is made out {
i "whole cloth" We trust that the citizens of ou
place will not hereafter call him the "mode
young man, because his friends of the Eag
have seen proper to Perpetrate joke at his e,
y penSe.
