FRANcE.-The proportion of votes obtained by
each of the candidates for President of France is
as follows: Napoleon, 66 per cent; Cavaignac,
81; Rollin, 6; Raspail, 4; Lamartine, 3. Napo-
leon after his election behaved with much circum
specton and moderation. 1t is reported that Ca

Tracy, of Marine Foucher, of Public Works !;

of these names are new to US, and we suspect are
inventions of the telegraph.-Eds. Crescent The
President elect was to be proclaimed the 2lst of
December, and some expect disturbances on that
day, though the large majority obtained by Napo-
leon would seem to insure almost universal con-
teniment. The commercial men and capitalists ex-
press much confidence in the new government, and
in consequence, funds have advanced, and bust
ness of all kinds is improving.
GERMANY.-The Hungarians have determined
to oppose desperate resistance TO the power OF
Austria. The Imperial troops are about to invade
the country, but the people are resolved to resort
to any measure for the purpose of defeating them
[Our previous dispatch alluded to this as Russian
invasion, and we were led to believe that that YER

Emperor, who had determined to incorporate Hun

The HOME JoURNAL.-This charming literary
periodical comes to us now in the new dress which
it donned at the commencement of the year. 1t
was always fne-looking sheet, but looks at pres
.ent better than ever-whch is, we presume, an
evidence of increasing prosperity. The Home
Journal is especial favorite with us, not merely
on account of Its external beauty but for its real
intrinsic merit. As literary paper it will compare
favorably with any in the world which fact will
readily be credited when we say it is conducted by
Morris and Willis, to both of whom American lit
erature isso much indebted. Ifany of our readers
wish paper which can be read at all times with
profit and pleasure, let them subscribe to the Home
Journal.

EDITORIAL CBANGEs.-On New Years day, the
Boston Evening Transcript appeared in new
dress, and in enlarged form. We are glad to see
this evidences of the prosperity of the Transcript,
it is one OF the most sprghtly and best conducted
papers upon our exchange list.
We are glad to see that our contemporary, the N.
Y. True Sun, has become prosperous that it was
on New Years day enabled to put on an entirely
new suit which becomes it well. The True Sun
is Journal of ability, and did good service for its
party during the last political campaign.
The Pennsylvania also selected New Years day
for its appearance in a new costume. The Penn
sylvanian is an able and dignifed paper, and We
sincerely wish it success.
We notice likewise that the Philadelphia News
gives evidence of its prosperity, by putting a
new suit, by which we presume its former excel
lence will not be decreased. R. t. Conrad, well
known as an able writer, has become one of its
editors.
We have still to notice the Norfolk Courier,
which comes to us thoroughly renovated, and look
ing better than new.

The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1849-11-01
Awful Trase1y.

This mornings mail brings us the intel
igence of a most awful tragedy which
took place in Barnum's Hotel, St. Louis,
on the night of the 29th. We have not
room for the particulars, but we will give
a condensed statement of the facts which
we extract from a telegraphic despatch in
the Pittsburg Post of yesterday. 1t ap-
pears that a few days since two young
French gentlemen, calling themselves
Counts CAM ales and Raimond de Monte
squien, arrived in ST. Louis form Chicago
and put up at Burnum's Hotel.
Nothing particular was noticed in their
manners until last night, when, about 10
O'Clock, P. NJ. as Mr.. Barnum nephew
of the proprietor,) and J. J. Macomber,
the steward of the house, were retiring,
one of the Frenchman came to window
on the gallery, and tapped lightly. Bar
mum pushed the curtain aside, when the
man on the outside fired a gun, a ball from
which passed through Barnum, and two
buckshot passed through the arm of Ma
comber.
At the report of the gun, Albert Jones,
a coach maker, on Third street, who oc-
cupied an adjoining room, rushed to the
door of the gallery, when he received a
shot through the head, and fell dead. Two
gentlemen, who had also entered the gall
lery, were struck with buckshot-H. NJ.
| Henderson was wounded on the forehead,
w. I'll. Hubble, of Liberty, on the arm.
The assailants were Immediately pursu
ed to their room and after severe struggle
were secured. Barnum is still living, but
cannot recover. Their trunks were open
/ ed and letters found in them which proved
! them to be Parisians of wealth and family.
Together with splendid equipments, they
$500 in German gold coin. They are
evidently insane; both fired the fatal shots;
both refuse to employ counsel, and say
they will plead their own cause, justified
by the order of God.

fnitely preferable to specific duties, or du-
ties levied on goods according TO quantity
weight or measures. In this later way, a
thousand cigars, that were purchased IN
Havana for 500, pay no higher duty than
cigars that were bought at $40 a thousand
A cask of Claret that cost $500 in Bord-
eaux, will be charged with no more duty
at the custom house than cask that cost
SIS or $50.
This plan is manifestly unjust. 1t IA
vors the rich man, because his luxuries
are taxed no higher than the poor mans
necessaries. Thus tea at So pound pays
no more than tea at so cents-the same
thing of sugar, coffee, wines of all kinds,
cigars. Camel coal at 50 barrel pays
no more duty than the common quality
used by blacksmiths.
Mr.. r. ] Walker, in one Of his reports
to Congress, puts the case of the State law
which should exact the same amount
of taxation on marble palace that is ex,
acted from poor mans dwelling that was
built for 5000. Extravagant as this sup
posed case may seem, it is really in stric
accordance with the principle of specific
| duties.

The Teachers Magazine.

This is the title of new magazine just
started in Pittsburg, the first number OF
which is on our table. 1t is very neatly
gotten up, contains thirty-two octave pa
ges, and is edited with ability and taste.
1t is devoted exclusively to moral and lit
erary education, and as a magazine Of this
character is much wanted in Penhsylva-
MIA, where every other profession has its
organ, we think the enterprising publish
ers must receive liberal support. The
editor, in his Introductory, after stating
that every profession has It's organ, truly
remarks, why should not the Teacher
have his magazine9-why should not the
cause of Education have its journal!-
There can be no good reason given, why
the Teacher should not have his medium
of communication, or why the cause of
education should not have It's avowed ad-
vocate." Published monthly OF one dol
lar per annum in advance. Address j.

TO an unusual extent this year among the
sections, however, are done including the
deep rock cut at Newton Hamilton, and
the Tunnel on the little Juniata, and it is
confidently anticipated that further sec
ton will be opened to Waynesburg ear
ly in the winter; to Hunting gdon in time
for next springs business; and to Holli-
daysburg by next summer This will
bring us by a connection with the, Por-
tage, within seventy miles of Pittsburg,
by the turnpike, and one hundred and
eight miles by canal.
The part of the western division just
put under contract, will extend this road
26 miles further westward, and beyond
all the mountain ranges Of Western Penn
sylvania. or this distance IA miles of
the heaviest work has been assigned to
able and respectable contractors, to be
commenced Immediately. and completed
April 1st 1851. The remainder is light
work, and will be com .nenced in the
spring, together with an additional section
of similar character in connection with it,
which will bring US to the Southern turn
pike, at a point about 40 miles from Pitts
burg, all of which will be pushed so as to
be completed simultaneously by the time
above named.
| l have just organized corps TO make the
final revisions and Improvements of the
location between the Loyaihanna and
Pittsburg, with a view of putting the..heav-
lest sections of that portion of our line
under contract, as the Board hope to have
the means..at their command for this pur-
pose next spring. The lighter sections
will be delayed until the heavy work has
advanced so far as to permit the whole to
be simultaneously completed, which |
think may be done by the spring of 1852
In the course of that year, fully expect
that our Board will have the pleasure oil
inviting the Directors of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Rail Road Company to ride
in our cars from Pittsburg to Philadelph
ia, and hope that the great work so hap
PLY commenced under your auspices, vii
be in such a state of forwardness that you
will be able to reciprocate the invitation
