reported that the valuation placed is too high I'VE
understood upwards Of So, ,OOO, most of its
capital being invested in railroads, &c. taxable in
the respective towns through which it passes.
The Committee recommended that the valuation
be reduced to 100000
1t was stated by one or two oil the members
that the original valuation had been placed by the
Tax Commissioners, and their decision on the
matters-should have much weight. AID. Britton

EOreign News,

By the arrival of the Steamer Niagara at New
York on the 22nd inst. we have news from Eng
land to the 9th. The most important item is the
universal excitement throughout England, occa-
stoned by what is called 'the late Papal Bull ap-
pointing Roman Catholic hierarchy in England
All the Newspapers are discussing it; and meet
ings of the clergy and laity being held through
out the kingdom Lord John Russell has address
ed letter to the Bishop of Durham in which ne
denounces the late aggression of the Pope upon
our Protestanism,' as insolent and nsidious,' a
pretension to supremacy over the realm of Eng
land inconsistent with the Queens supremacy,
with the rights ofour bishops and clergy, and with
the spiritual independence of the nation He be-
lieves, however, that there is more danger from
the tendency of what are called the Puseyites in
the English church, towards popsh doctrines
than there is from any power or influence to be
exercised directly by the Pope himself.
In Switzerland, the same excitement exists from
a similar cause; and it is said the movement of
the Pope is extended to all European countries of
mixed Catholic and Protestant population.
In Ireland, the cultivation Of fax is absorbing
public attention. asf.-oao asa
The Grain and Cotton markets in England were
dull with slight decline in prices.

From California.

The steamer Crescent City arrived at New York
on Thursday, from Chagres, with California news
to the 10Th ut. She brings $I,6OO,o00 Of gold
The news OF the admission of California was re-
ceived with universal satisfaction. People were
leaving San Francisco for the eastern States fas-
ter than they were arriving-more persons going
out of the State than into it. The illusion is be-
ing rapidly dispelled, and the accounts from the
mines are less and less favorble. The overland
emigranis on their way were suffering almost be-
yond description. Twenty thousand were estima-
ted to be beyond the Desert, entirely destitute of
provisions. Private benevoence being INSULT
cient for their relief, requs;tion upon the gov
ernment for 100000 was talked of. to aid them.
Flour at San Francisco had advanced several dol
lars per barrel, other provisions maintaining good
prices Building materials were so low as to hard
ly pay freight. l sGs .aa

Union Meeting i'm Philadelphia.

A great meeting was held in Philadeiphia on
Thursday evening last, of menof all parties, to
declare their devotion to the Union. John Ser

Chairman, and George M. Dallas, Josiah Randall,
Joseph R. Ingersoll, Richard Rush, James Page,

We learn from the North American, that the
sentiments uttered by the speakers generally met
with cordial and hearty response, and that the
entire proceedings manifested (what has never
been doubted) "that the people of Philadelphia
are, as they always have been, true to the Union,
the Constitution, and The Laws of their Country"

All for Love.

Yesterday morning suspicious looking

Baker, care of NJ. Wickersham." This Baker
TO whom he package was addressed, was ar
rested some month or Two since near Virden's
on the mail route between this place and ST
Louis, after being detected in the act of taking
one of the mail bags, and giving his captors a
race of about mile. He was brought 10 this ci-
~, examined and committed TO Jail. A few days
after this some discoveries we're made in the
trunk, in possession Of a woman passing for Ba.
ker's wife, in St.Louis, which implicated him as
having been extensively engaged in mail dep

CouNTERFEITERs.-A gang of male and female
counterfeiters have been engaged for week or
more past, in circulating bad money in our bor-
ough. Warrants were issued by n. M. Wilson,
Esq, and several arrests have been made. Geo.
Decoursey was arrested on Saturday last, but
broke out of the lookup and made his escape on
Sunday morning. His wife was also arrested, and
is now here under bail awaiting trial. Daniel
Rose and wife were both arrested. She is also
under bail. He had endeavored to make his es-
cape, but was orertak en- at Ashland on Thursday
night, and brought back for trial before Esquire
Wilson yesterday morning. John Sterling was
arrested on Tuesday, and held to bail He has
since escaped. Other accomplices are suspected,
and more arrests will no doubt be made. The
notes passed by the wives of Decoursey and Rose
were $5 each on the Lebanon Bank. Rose was
required to furnish $500 bail, or submit to imme-
diate commitment 1t is doubtful whether bail can
be procured. .-PottsviIe Journal.

1t is said the present year has been for Ohio one
Of unprecedented prosperity. Not single crop
has failed while the principal ones will greatly ex-
ceed those Of former gears. The wheat harvest,
it is estimated will realize about thirty millions Of
bushels, being fifteen millions more than usual.
Allowing reasonable amount for increased popu-
lation Of the State, there will be, it is calculated
at least fifteen millions Of bushels for expectation
about the quantity heretofore exported from all
the other States put together. 8a&1
The corn crop is computed at not less than fifty
millions Of bushels--to be used in making pork,
fauening cattle, &c, for Eastern and Southern

O. We learn from the Tribune, that Colonel
R. NJ. JoHsoN died at Frankfort Ky. Ia O'Clock
on Tuesday morning 18th inst, having for some
time been deprived of his reason. He was born
about the year 1850 and was consequently some
70 years old. In 1905 he was chosen member
of the House of Representatives from Kentucky,
which post he held for twelve consecutive years.
In 1873 he was authorised to raise volunteer reg
iment of cavalry Of 1000 men. to fight The British
and Indians on the North West In the campaign
which followed he served aallau.ly under Gen, /,
Harrison as COL of that regiment. At the battle
of the Thames he distinguished himself by break
ing the line OF the British infantry, Gen. Proctor
having stupidity formed it with considerable gaps
between the different divisions. The fame of kill
ling Tecumseh in this battle has also been attrb-
uted to Col. J. but the glory of the act has other
claimants and it is not quite certain who took the
life Of that savage. so ss5. aa' ema asr4a.
In 1919 he was transferred from the House of
Representatives TO the Senate to serve out an un-
expired term. When that expired he was chosen,
and thus remained in the Senate till 1920. Then
another reelection being impossible, he went back
into the House where he remained till 1887, when
ne became Nlce-r resident unoer tne dh Dulel
dynasty. From 1887 to l84l he presided over the
Senate. Since then he has not held any office,
though his ambition has desired that goal which
all our great men regard with such surprising u
nanimity, Presidency.
Col Johnson was weak man, with inordinate
vanity, but brave and naturally generous.
His long career in political life has no other
fact so remarkable as his rise to the Vice -Presi
dency. Peace to his remains.
