u A singular phenomenon was witnessed
by some of our citizens last evening between
the hours of 10 and IL o'clock. A large black
mass, seeming like cloud OF the size Of a large
blanket but apparently, heavy substance, mo-
we'd with incredible swiftness over the northeast
ern portion of the city. 1t passed but little above
the tops of the houses, yet seemed projected with
such force, it did not describe curve, but over
came the force of gravity and went in direct
line at even distance from the surface of the earth
1t passed over the lake, where, from the inf1u-
ence OF the water or some other natural cause,

shore, exploded without report Can some of
our scientific men explain this meteorological
phenomenon Free Democrat.

Washington, Sept. l3, 1850. {
GENTLEMEN:
1t is with unfeigned pleasure acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 9th instant, ac-
companied with the most fatterng testimonial
OF my public conduct, as representative in Con-
gress.
was highly honored, two years ago. by the
suffrages OF generous and confding constitu-
ency, to whom am indebted for the seat now
occupy in the National Legislature. This re-
newed assurance of abiding confidence, in inv-
ting me to become candidate for reelection to
Congress, 'withoul the formality of Conven-
ton, coming, as it does, from nearly two thous-
and ofmy constituents, whose devotion to the hon.
or and welfare of the country is well known to
the public, lays me under new obligations, snch,
l fear, as | shall never be able to repay. 1t is
an incident, the remembrance of which shall
ever cherish as one of the most pleasing recol-
lectons of my life. Were to be unmindful of
this spontaneous expression Of popular conf
dence, should not only do great injustice to my
own feelings, aid to the feelings of nv friends
and constituents, but should exhibit great want
OF patriotism in regard to the momentous uues-
tons that now occupy the attention of the whole
American people.
This mode bringing before the public can
ddate for an important office: am aware, is nov
ell, unlike the usual custom of the various polit-
ical parties of the day. But when reflect that
the all-absordng question before Congress and
the country, is overshadowing all others and
will continue to do SO until it is in proper way
adjusted, and that this question, too, is one in
which majority in each of the several parties
OF my District, (and might say of our State, }
are agreed, this course seems to me highly prop
or and judcous.
1t will leave all free to unite their best aner-
gies where, in their opinion, the most efficient
agency can be secured for the maintenance OF
our rights: and the subjugation OF that tyranni-
cal spirt,which seeks the overthrow Of constitu-
tional liberty throughout this Republic.
| will conclude, gentlemen, by again thank
ing you, and my felow-ctizens, who have,
through your politeness addresse! me on this oc-
casion, for the complimentary manner in which
you have been pleased to speak of my humble
services, and by assuring you that it will afford
me great pleasure to cooperate with you, and a
libera!-hearted constituency, in any form that
may be thought most expedent, to secure a fair
and efficient representation of the political senti-
ments of our District in Congress. Surrounded.
as we are, by great national difficulties, intimate
ly connected with the Constitution of our coun-
try, and the rights of the people, l cannot but
hope lofty patriotism will enable US all to for
get every personal considerations in seeking the
honor, the integrity, and perpe:uty of our FEEDER
al Government.

MAN STARRED gy HIS OWN W,rr

MAN STABBED BY HIS OWN WIFE.-A man
named Maxwell was stabbed on Saturday al
ternoon, by his wife, at the corner of Bond and
Baltic streets, Brooklyn, under the following cir.
cumstances. 1t appears that Bridget, the wife
has been in the habit of drinking to excess, neg.
lecting to provide her husband meals, and behav-
i9g otherwise improperly. On Saturday after
noon, Maxwell came home and could find MOTH
ing of his wife, and after searching some time,
found her at last in grog-shop. An alteration
ensued, when the woman snatched up fork and
plunged it into her husbands left side, which
passed about three inches from the apex of the
heart, and into the lett lung. The wounded man
was conveyed to the city hospital, where he now
hes. But small hope is entertained of his recov-
cry The woman was arrested, and is now in
jail.-N. Y. Her. 18th.

Mr.. ELISHA STARR has been rejected by the Sc
nate as Post Master, at Milwaukee. All the pa
pers of that city express surprise and regret the
result, AMI are unanimous in opinion that Mr. Starr
is the choice of the people for that place.
This power of the Senate to confirm or reject, we
suppose has reference only to the fitness of the no.
mnee for the place, and when there are no objec-
lions ON that score any Senator who allows person.
al hostility to influence his VOTE makes tyrranical
use of the power delegated to him.

u Tenney, of the Wisconsin Argus, has a
letter in the Wisconsin Democrat, denying that
he sought to obtain private information from the
deputy Secretary Of State with reference to the
bids sent into that office for the public printing,
denying also, that that officer promised him any
such information. This latter assertion is pro-
badly true; but whilst Tenney's denial amounts
to nothing against the charge of seeking such in

of such suspicious.

providing for the publication of the Revised Sta

the act as unconstitutional, and accused members

to be constitutional, which fact we published Sc
