A writer in the New Yorker is endeavoring to
injure the reputation OF Gov. Ujhazy. by proclaim
ing that he never was Governor of Comorn. He
is also very ungaliant towards Miss Jagello. We
think he might be engasad in better employment.
That Miss warlike prowess has been overesti-
mated by those who wish to have it known that
they claim acquaintance with a real live heroine,
we have reason to believe but the statement that
Gov. ujhazy has made any rreten sons to patriot
ism that he cannot sustain, or that he was not
Governor Of comorn, aud held out until he had to
capitulate, through the treschery of Georges, is,
in our opinion, unfounded and sheer numbug.

Secession 10 Treason.

The nullifers now consregated in Charleston, s.
c., will receive mighty check in their proceed
ings, in Consequence Of some ancient documents
being brought TO light. These documents were
published by order Of Congress, and they are found
in the first volume Of the works Of Alexander Ham
iiton. Both he and Mr.. Madison were leading
members Of the convention viii, frsmed the Con-
stitution. While the question was under discus
sion they held almost daily correspondence with
each other. The very point now in controversy
was brought up in this correspondence, and WIS so
treated as to show those who have met to dismem.
Der the Union, that their sction is treasonahle.-
Our readers ere acquainted with what caution the
States adopted the Constitution. Some wanted 10
try its manner OF working, before they committed
themselves to its final adoption. Mr. Hamilton had
arplised Mr. NJ. of the fact that some were desir-
Gus Of entering the Union thus condi,,onany, and
he wished to obtain his opinion in relation to the
matter. Mr. Madison, who was thea in New York
thus writes to Mr. Hamilton:

however published enough to show that Secession

THE SEA GIVING UP ITS TREAsuRE.-The Ply

THE SEA GIVING UP ITS TREAsUNE.-The P!y-
mouth Memorial nf Saturday says:
eve learn, that during the gale of last week, a
quantity Of linseea oil ahore in the breakers,
at Manoment ponds. The oil was in forty gallon
casks, ~ OF which were rolled upon the shore in
safety but several casks were burst by being DASH
ed against the rocks. The casks that were saved,
contained about so gallons OF oil each, which
proved to be in good condition. The condition of
the casks were such, as to render it certain that
they had been in the water a great while, perhaps
many years. The outer surface Of the casks was
considerably decayed, and there we're four ridges
firon rust on each which were the only remnants
OF what were once iron hoops. The casks were
covered with barnacles.D
The Boston Advertiser says the above probably
came from the brig Hoander Of Boston, from Rot
terdam, which was capsized and sunk in Massa-
chusetts Bay about ten years since. The breaking
up Of the vessel, which was hastened by the gale,
probably disengaged the cssks from the hold. and,
being lighter than water, they rose 70 the surface.

Keskak.
The last Dispatch indicates that the manufactur-
sss Of public sentiment in Keokuk are coming to
their senses. For the .ast month or so, they have
bssa industiiously engaged in creating the impress
sion that the efforts made by the Burlinstonans in
reference 10 our various improvements were base
less and insincere. The numerous epithets used
70 convey this impression, only exhibited their
Desperation In doing what they could to depreciate
The substantial character Of these improvements.
Theis aim has been to prejudice the people OF The
Dies Moines Valley against Burlington in favor Of
tAsir own locality. Without attempting to combat
these unmanly efforts, we have abided our .ime,n
and BY 90 doing, We can now see that they have
worked out their own cure. Many or the in6uen-
tial dwrllers in the Valley have visited our city,
and have witnessed for themselves the bona ide
enterprise OF our citizens. They have seen the
ebay Of the land, and satisfied that the capital
u Burlington is ample to accomplish all its citizens
undertake, AID that their rejected Improvements
are composed Of neither gas or humbas. That the
bottom opposite Is susceptible Of having built upon
II both . rail road aud plank road. That both OF
these will be built. And that, in two years, the
taunt that Shocxoauon ever known as the oc.
casional landing place 10 Burlington in the highest
food, can be ascertaincd only BY reference to the
xeokuk papers.

ing thrown straw in the way Of the prosperity Of

The City Council have determined to make a

Wharf 10 to be extended from the north of Column
bia to the south of Valley street. is to be piled,
filled up and Mcadamized to low water mark, and
we understand the contractors have agreed 10 fin
ish it for about $4,000, to be paid in periodical in
staments at least 20 per cent. to be left in the
hands Of the Treasurer, until the durability Of the
work shall be established. The contractors,
Messrs HEAnLE and GRAY are worthy and indus
trious men, and we hope they will in a few months
show US . continuous landing to nearly the whole
front Of our City, which will be creditable alike to
their skill and to Burlington. .......

From the New Orleans Picayune we learn that
the troubles with the Florida Indians have been

something like the handhils circulated at an exc

circumstance that occurred in one Of our cities
some years ago, wherein an lrishwoman, who was
in the habit of going from house to house with tears
in her eyes to beg linen for the purpose OF laying
out her poor dear dead husband, happened, in her
rounds, to accost a lady whom she had solicited
few months before for the same object. The lady
lifted up both her hands, and in answer 70 the re-
pea.ed solicitation exclaimed, sBi+ss me, isn't that

this particular But two or three years have
elapsed since the treaty was made, and the UNDER

one million Of dollars of the insurance money
