THE OLDEST Man In AMERICA
George Buckharr, living in Harlan county, Kyp
is one OF the most extraordinary men OF the age,
and perhaps is the Oldest man now known TO be
living. He is one hundred and fourteen years
old, was born in Germantown, Pa, and has
lived for several years in hollow sycamore
Tree, OF such dimensions as 10 contain his family
consisting OF wife aud FIVE or six children, bed
and bedding, cooking utensils, &c. The explor-
ing agen, Of the American Bible Society," in his
travels in Kentucky, recently found him, and
also saw respectable gentlemen who have spen!
one or more nights with hmm IN this singular
home. He PROCESSES 10 hold the Lutheran faith,
being of a German family, and received The
Bible with peculiar manifestations OF gratitude.

sayings and doings, passed The following resolu-

The second Washington!
Resolved, Thai this Convention is Of opinion
hat the United States Senate has The constlu-
ionaI power OF controlling The nominations OF
The Executive, and that i! approves The conduct
Of The Senate in rejecting lie unworthy nomina.

the last session.
Resolved, Tha! the system OF rewards and
punishmenls prac!ised by The present Executive
OF The United States is odious as tending 10 des-
po,sm, and dangerous in practice. as calculated

Staunton Convention, since christened Wings
by James Watson Webb are now the real Old
FAC Republicans Il is even so. Look at The
list. Every living man OF them is now Taylor

The accounts by the Caledonia have pruduc-

there has been no change in prices. The SAFES
for the last three days have amounted 10 IouU
bales.
The overflow is still unchecked. The water
is rising even more rapidly, and the danger be-
low Canal, Carondelet and Old Basque streets, IS
daily more imminent. The residents on Camp
and some other streets are very much alarmed,
and have petitioned the City Council TO take
some decisive action TO save them from The hor.
rors of inundation.
Letters from Prairie du Chen OF the 5lh say
that body OF 300 Winnebago Indians are en-
eamped on Cedar river, in the immediate vicin-
ity OF Fort Atkinson, exhibiting an uniriendly
disposition, and proving a great annoyance 10
the setlsrs. Many German families lately 10.

The cholera is raging in this region. On The
Walnut 6ranch Mr.. Socket has lost ID OF his
negroes, and MIR. Briscoe as many on an adJoin-
ing plantation, himself also being among The Vic
Inns. In this case the disease proved fatal in 5
ora hours, II being the opinion of the physician
tha, vitality was destroyed the moment he was
attacked Others in the same neishborhood
have likewise lost a number Of their slaves.
We have lengthy accounts from Corpus
Christi OF the depredations OF the Indians be-
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande. They
entered the town OF San Pad Legaro on the loth
stole number of horses and carried OF large
quantities of Stock In this affair Col. Kinney
and another man were killed.
A number OF Mexican lndians crossed The
