Strange Presentment.


An old and poor artizan lives in this city,
who has had the misfortune to lose several
children. A few days back, one of his re-
naming children was taken sick. The old
man would not employ physician, but at
tended the child himself. He said Providence
was against him, and that it was impossible
for him to raise child-that all had died but
these, and it was decreed they must die-and
die the sick girl did. When she departed,
there was one more left, which also was
slightly unwell, yet not sufficiently so to
cause alarm, or fears of even serious sickness.
Yet the old man said it was ordained, and
die it would, and that the two must be laid
side by side, and be buried at the same time.
He kept the body of the departed one or two
days, nursed the other faithfully, and then
laid the innocent ones with his broken spirit,
in one grave.

n 1t isprobably because we have always
been accustomed to receiving and exchanging
editorial courtesies with gentlemanly hreth-
rem in the same city, that we are more par
ticularly inclined to find fault with the want
of courtesy in our contemporaries of the Re-
publican. We furnished at our desk one of
the proprietors with the first extra we issued
on Monday morning, giving the news of Gen.
Taylor's death, and directly the second was
oot and before distributed, we personally
took him copy. In the evening they pub
lished our dispatch verifying the sad news,
without even an allusion to the Jnurnal ex-
tras, from which they obtained it or to our at
tention. Gentlemen can be recognized in
any position, and if possible, their oppositeS
can be recognized still more readily.

EThe Republican thinks we wish to
i" write it down." Bless its dear SOUL that
is the last thing in the world we should try
or desire. Why if it had not been for the
Republican, and for the Advertiser before it
became the Republican, our virtues would
not have been half appreciated, the Democ-
racy would have been harmonious, and Ev-
notwithstanding mental siumber or torpor
from which it might never be awakened. II
we should ever undertake writing down the
Republican, we are quite satisfied the Ed
tors of that paper will become disagreeabIy
enlightened to the fact beyond all room fo
doubt.

Terrible Fire at Brooklyn!

New Y DIRK, July s, a. NJ.
The Turpentine Warehouse OF Thorn,n
Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn, was on fire at A.
NJ, in the 4th story, which originated among
some loose cotton stored there, in the lower
story was a large quantity ofsaltpetre, which
exploded with terrible effect. A large lot of
groceries were also stored there, amounting
to sveral thousands of dollars. The fire
spread to a number OF other buildings, which
were mostly consumed with their contents
The whole loss is not yet ascertained, but it
is sand, will exceed half uillion of dollars.
The smoke from the conAagration was very
intense.

WARRIcK DEMoCRAT.-This is the name
of a new paper, the first number of which
we have just received, published at Newburg,
Warrick Co., Ind, by Mr.. CALVIN FRARY.
1t is of good size, neat in appearance, and
gives good token of being a useful paper
Mr.. Frary is good printer and industrious
man, as we know from a connection with
him during last winter as printer of the Jour
nal. The citizens of Newburg have long
been wanting paper, and now they have
got one. They should recollect1 however,
the idea generally in vogue, that nothing
more is required from the citizens of place
than to put up press without patronizing it
thereafter, is very nearly exploded, and hence,
il they wish to keep this new paper going,
and enlarge it's sphere of usefulness, they
must not permit the printer to trust to Provi-
dence alone, or to the devil, because the
former may have nothing to do with him,
and the latter will scarcely trust a printer
So give the paper liberal support. As it,
name indicates, this paper is Democratic, ye
we trust Mr.. Frary will continue it what he
has started, a respectable shetland thu.

Iz=It is satisfactorily established that the
leaders of the Cuban expedition procured the
arms which were used from the State arsenal
of Louisiana, and with the knowledge il not
with the completely, of some of the highest
functionaries of the State. The Washington
correspondent of the North American says
that the President has determined that the
law shall be rigidly enforced against all such
persons, and particularly against those high
in authority, who have contributed the infu-
ence of their character and positions to COM
plicate the friendly relations of the govern
ment by outraging its laws and violating its
solemn treaties. When the authorities of
sovereign State so far forget what is due
to public honor and integrity as they APP
pear to have done in the present case, they
should be instruc,ed under the penalties of
that justice which they have wilfully offended
There is reason to believe that some of the
distinguishes participators in this expedi-
ton will be indicted in the city ofNew York
The President is much more anxious to pun
ish the prompters and managers of the move
ment than the deluded victims of their selfish
schemes.- Louisville Journal

WASHINGTON, July 9.
SENATE.

Mr. Walker introduced bill to change the
time of the annual meeting of Congress to
the first Monday in October.
Mr.. Mangum remarked that there was a
large amount of Executive business at dead
stand still awaiting action.
Mr.. Bradbury's resolution relative TO re-
movals he moved to make it the special or
der of tomorrow at IL oclock-agreed to.
The omnibus bill was then taken up at one
O'Clock, and Mr.. Butler having the floor, he
believed the issue now pending had produc
ed the present crisis, and that if it was past
adjustment. 1t had become unmanageable
from the lapse OF time and failure to take adj
vantage OF passing opportunities for its set
Element. He maintained also, that only two
States has ever come into the Union with
constitution formed without the previous con
sent of Congress.
At a quarter past one o'clock, Mr.. B., sus-
pended his remarks at the request OF Mr.
Webster, who said Mr.. President, intelli-
gence, which within the last few minutes has
been received, incidents that very great mis-
fortune IS now impending over us. 1t is sup
posed by his medical advisers and Others
that the President of the United States car
not live many hours. This information CONT
in shape so authentic, and from such vari-
ETY. OF sources, and in so many forms, all
tending to tie same fearful result, that |
have felt it my duty to move that the Senate
follow the example already set by the other
branch OF the national legislature. At IL IL
A. NJ. | called at the Presidents mansion to
make inquiries relative to his then present
condition, and was informed that he had
very bad night, and was very i'll this morn
ing, but al that moment was more easy and
more favorable hopes were INDUCED. | had
hardly resumed my seat in the Senate, when
was informed that the fever had set in with
great violence, causing an alarming aggrava-
zion of his symptoms. 1t is supposed 10 be
hardly possible that he can live through the
day.
With the consent ofthe Senator from S. c.
whose feelings under these circumstances
agree with all others, leaving US in state
hardly suited to the performance Of our duties
here, | will venture to move that the Senate
do now adjourn.
The motion was carried unanimously.
