THE FOURTH OF JULY.-We are requested to
state that all military companies and civic as
sociations desiring to participate in the cere-
monies of laying the cornerstone OF the extern
sion of the Capitol, are requested, as early as
possible, to notify II. Wallach, esq, Marshal of
the District of Columbia, who has been charged
with the duty of making necessary arrange
ments for the occasion.
PYRoTEcHNIc DISPLAY will be made on the
night of the 4th, from the square south of the
Presiden tial Mansion, under the direction of
the Marsh al. The time for preparation is brief,
but an effective display will no doubt be made.
1t is with pleasure that we learn that the
call of the Major General Of the Militia of the
District of Columbia for meeting at the City
Hall this day was responded to by gentlemen
of public spirit attached to our corps of citizen
soldiery, and that officers of the District com
panies of known activity will move at once in
the necessary arrangements.
The old Continentals of the Old Dominion
will doubtless be represented from the far
famed revolutionary town of Petersburg, while
Richmond will have its representation. Also,
the old Maryland Line will be represented, by
some of the descendants of that gallant band of
revolutionary trial, from Baltimore and the
contiguous counties. The military Of the Dis
trict, in accordance with their established
usage, win Of course yield all precedence to
military visiters from distance. The Peters
burg boys, as their noble forefathers were wont
to do, will push up for the point of activity to
face the cornerstone of the enlarged Capitol
while loyal Maryland will, through her military
representatives, do the same; and the District
companies will divide the mar ching honors be-
tween the two truly distinguished States.
It is understood that while the Commissioner
Of the Public Buildings will take all necessary
precautions to prevent accidents in the grounds
of the Capitol, yet on such an occasion of pub
lie interest, where the President takes, as his
illustrious predecessor Washington did, prom
inent part the public property will be properly
protected by the assembled people themselves.

ed correspondence between two confidential
friends ofGen. Sam Houston and the members
of the National Locofoco Committee and other
persons of note The object of this cores
pondence is to arrange the time and place for

Baltimore PLATFORM but SO as :. not to offend
our freesoil allies who have pledged them
selves in good faith to u.s. Van Buren, Gid

A writer in the Boston Post tells the fol-
story of a great feeder:
"Some twenty years since, the widow F.
kept tavern at Quamphegan; she was a
stout, fat woman, equal to the task of land
lord and landlady. One morning, a lumber
dealer from Lebanon called at this tavern for
a cup of tea. He sat down at the table spread
with all the 'fxins'' for a substantial break
fast but, took nothing except his tea. On asking
what was to pay the parsimonious man of
lumber was amazed at the price-two shil-
lings. 81 took but one cup Of tea. . exclaimed
he, t'Its the same, sir, returned the widow,
eat and drink much or little, as you please"
" All the same, eh !''-replied the tea Gus
TONER as be drew forth his leathern purse and
paid the two shillings; "we'll try that ere
game again, reckon" The lumEerman
then he went to one of his teamsters, well
known as the greatest eater in the whole
country round about, and asked him if he
thought he could eat good breakfast, could
he get it gratuituously. ''Try me-" returned
the trencherman, smacking his lips, and stri-
king his lank stomach at the idea.
1.-The lumber-man then lead the way to
the tavern and told the man of appetite 10
follow and de his best. He did his best-his
very mightiest! Fallstaff Dickens Fat boy,
and all the alderman together. could not have
made such havoc in the widows Iarder. Dish
after dish was brought on and cleared in the
twinkling, till not morsei of food could be
scraped in the whole domici and when the
goUraaand was told by the astonished widow
that there was nothing for him except he ate
her, he seemed to scan the lusty landlady as if
he was calculating the best manner to serve
her up: bat her unwieldv size brought him to
the conclusion that she was too much for aven
hiroself Finally, he agreed to leave the
house # she would refund the money paid, so
he could finish his breakfast elsewhere.

OF A number Of letters from the unfortu-
nate and misguided men who were executed
at Havana, have been published. They dis
close the fact That the Cubans showed no
sympathy with the invaders--that they were
deluded by the false statements of the getters
up of the expedition, and were abandoned by
Lopez soon after landing, and were overpow-
cred by superiority of numbers of Spanish
trops When captured in the boats, they were
on their way home to New Orleans. They
bitterly censure Lopez.

That double facedness of the Locofocos of
Pennsylvania is understood even in the South,
the following extract from the N. O. Com
merciaf, a leading Southern paper will show:
PENNSYLVANIA Democracy is as much a cheat
and fraud now as it was in the canvass of
1914, when the rallying cry of the party was
Polk, Dallas and the Tariff by which the
credulous and sophisticated voters ofthe Key
stone State were beguiled into the support
of free trade President. The same game
is now being played; The democratic can
didate for Governor is political Janus-with
two fronts, one for the North, the other for
the South. Acting the part Of a tender or
pilot fish TO Buchanan, whomthe is to lead
into the Presidency--Col. Bigler is held up
to tie South as their natural ally, the stauncEr
friend and supporter of Southern rights, while
to the German voters of middle and western
! Pennsylvania, he is represented the bitter
foe Of slavery and the Compromise.

Judges gcssup's CaIumnia.or.

MIR. E. B. Chase, the editer of the Mont
rose Democrat, has for number of weeks
taxed his abilities to the utmost in traducing
Judge Jessup; yet this same Chase, only
few months ago, on the decease. of Judge
Burnside, wrote a letter to Coy. Johnston in
which he expressed his belief that "the Hon.
William Jessup, President Judge Of the elev-
enth judicial district, is gentleman of ac-
knowledged talent, a ready and profound
lawyer, prompt business man, and is amply
qualified in every respect for place upon
the bench of the Supreme Court" and asked
for his appointmet to fill the vacancy! Judge
Jessup is the same now that he was when
this letter was written. Chase has changed his
tune through motives which he would blush
to have accurately written down and spread
before the public. eal IS oass

A dreadful outrage was committed in
Ulster Village, on Sunday afternoon, the
oath ult, as we learn from tho Albany
Argus. 4 widow lady named Heermance,
aged 70 years, was proceeding about one
o'clock in the afternoon to attend church
in neighborhood school house, about
a mile and half from her residence,
when she was met by a negro bearing
the name of 'Bronk." As he approach
ed he said ''now damn you, have you,
and Instantly felled her to the ground
with his first, jumped upon her with both
feet several times, and kicked ber, after
which he dragded her from the road into
the woods and endeavored to violate her
person; but the old lady fought every
inch of ground as long as she was able,
but overcome by exertion andloss ofblood,
was overpowered by the villain, and can
not say what followed up to the time she
was found He finally dragged her some
fifty yards into swamp, and left her
dead as he supposed, and made his way
to the village. She was found there short
ly afterwards and conveyed home. Her
upper and lower jaws were both fractur-
ed, her collar bone and nose broken, and
she had sustained other serious bodily in
juries, as she discharged large quantities
of blood from her mouth continually; one
eye entirely closed and the other nearly
so. and her face literally cut to pieces
The william was arrested and identified
The greatest excitement prevailed in the
village, and the citizeas could hardly be
restrained from hanging him on the spot.
He was fully committed for trial. Mrs.
III. it is thought, will survive. She had
once been witness against the negro in
court, and he had been heard to threaten
her with death ON account Of her testimo-
ny.

From Cuba..-Eud of trnc. War.

lNew Orleans, Sept. 4.-By the Cherokee
we have Havana advices to Sept 1st
Passengers by her report having witnessed
the execution of Lopez at Havana.
His force had been completely dispersed
and he was finally left to wander about in the
mountains, where he was persucd by blood
hounds and finally captured.
lie is said to have met his fate manfuly.
His last words were " Adi&t, dear Cuba"
A great crowd witnessed the execution.
Gen. Pregay the Hungarian officer, had
been killed at Las Pogas.
OF the force taken by Lopez to Cuba, $50
had been shot. 436 were in prison.
The remnant of his band, some 30 in num-
Der, had fled to the mountains.
The failure of the expedition is attributed
to the separation of Col Crttenden's COM
mand from the main body under Lopez.
Just previous to the capture of Lopez, he
had but thirty remaining followers, and they
finally deserted him, so that he had not one
remaining friend.
Previous to the death of Lopez, he declared
that he had been greatly DECEIVED, in re-
gard to promised aid in Cuba.
meeting ofpassengers was held on board
the steamer Cherokee, at which Gen. Lane,
of Oregon, presided, and the following reso-
luton was unanimously passed:
Resolved that Mr.. Owen, the American
Consul at Havana. has forfeited every right
and title, to be regarded as en- American cit
zen.
That he has outraged every sentiment of
humanity, and deserves the eXecration Of ev-
friend of Liberty.
Another resolution requests his recall by
the American Government.
The Spanish accounts say that of the whole
number who landed in the Pampero, $50 have
already been killed, and 436 are now in prs-
on.
Another account, purporting to have come
by the Cherokee, is substantially that all who
landed with Gen. Lopez from the Pampero
have either been killed or taken prisoners
Gen. Lopez bad been arrested and was brought
into San Christoval on the 9th, from whence
he was taken to Havana on the 1st inst, at
z A. NJ. where on the same day he was gar
rotted.
One hundred and fifty FIVE prisoners, most
ly Americans, were in the hands of the Span
ish autorities, all of whom had been senten-
ced to the chain gang for ii years

on trial for injuries to the Michigan Central
Railroad Company, died in the Hospital of the
Sisters Of Charity at Detroit, on Monday last.
George w. Gay, the person alledged TO have

information is correct, three of the most prom

of an earthly tribunal. If the trial is con-

Execution of George .Pharoab

Geo. Pharoah was executed at West Ches-
ter, Pa, on Friday, Aug. Doth, for the murder
of Rachel Sharpless, committed on the 18th
of September last. The crime was perpetra-
ted by Pharoah shooting her dead with a gun,
while she was unlocking the school-house
door at West Goshen, Chester CO., she being
a teacher there. Pharaoh was suspected of
the crime, from having been seen in the vi
-cinity with his gun, and tkis suspicion was
rendered certainty by finding that the wad-
ding used on the occasion matched a torn copy
of The Saturday Evening Post, which was
found in his possession when arrested.
His sole motive for the commission of the
deed, if his own confession is TO be believed,
was to obtain gold watch belonging to the
deceased The mother of Pharaoh was sis
ter of Jabez Boyd, who was hung at West
chester on the 2lst of Nov, l845, for the
murder of Wesley Patton lad. Pharaoh
was hung on the same gallows, and with the
same rope.

Postage Stamps.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun sug-
gests that Postmasters place the usual post
mark over the prepaid postage stamp. This
will answer threefold purpose--first, defa-
clng the postage stamp; secondly, in case the
postage stamp should not have been securely
affixed, the vacancy in the post-mark will
show that it had been put there and thirdly,
the operation will serve, instead of two, and
thus save time and labor.
