Of him who is now at the head oi the

THE RECENT x,DNArruse CASE.

The Baltimore papers contain interesting
details in relation TO the death Of Joseph
c. Miller, Of Nottingham township, 10
Chester county, growing out OF the recent
kidnapping Gaze, an account Of which will
be found in another column. There is
some doubt or mystery in regard to Mil
ler's death, and the impression is that he
has been murdered by some persons con-
nected with these kidnappers-- The feel
ing, in Maryland, at present, against the
abolitionists, in consequence of the Chris
tiana riots and the murder of Mr.. Gorsuch,
in attempting to rescue his slave, is such
that it is hardly safe for them TO appear
there, and the deceased seemed TO compre-
hend the danger, when he remarked when
he got into the cars on his return home
'rhat If he ever got home, he would never
get into such scrape again." Threats had
been frequently made against the men who
were attending the investigation against
McCrrary for kidnapping, and the proba-
bility is, that they were carried out in the
murder Of Mr.. Miller. This is a fearful
state of things between two neighboring
States. Whilst the aboltionists are much
to blame for their agitation and interfer.
ence in these affairs, there can be no doub,
but tha, our pro-slavery neighbors are en-.
trely too sensitive, and expect quite toe
much from those, who while they do moi
wish to interfere in the institutions o.
Slavery, yet do not look upon it a. bless
ing 10 every community.

sUNBURY AND ERIE RAIL ROAD.

The Philadelphia papers published long
list of names OF persons who are appointrd d
committee 10 obtain subscribers 10 this
great and important improvement. We
observe tina! bill is now before the Legis-
lature TO allow The stockholders interest o.
the stock until the road is completed. The
project of connecting Philadelphia with
the Lakes is one of great magnitude and
importance, and if fairly and properly car
ried out, will be one of immense value to
the city and the State, as wei! as to the
stockholders. We are sometimes asked
whether it is intended TO adopt the Catta-
wissa route. We have only TO say that
the charter makes Sunbury ana Williams
port each point, which cannot be avoid d
without a violation or alteration OF the
charter, aud however much stock specula-
tors may desire another route, common
sense will designate the vall,'y OF the Sus-
quchanna to Sunbury, as the one nature has
pointed out.

CURIOSITIEs OF WATER.

BRIGHAM YOUNG.

the President vindicating himself from the
charges OF the Judges and Secretary sent
out by the President. Mr.. Bernhisel the

Governor Young's wives, and the system OF

Correspondence Of the phin. Ledger.
LETTER FROM WARRINGTON.
WAstttNcToy lar

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL.
The statement that Mr.. Clay has written
letter expressing his preference OF Cen.
Cass for the Presidency, is not correct. Mr.
Clay has written no such letter, but express
ses freely his preference of Gen. Cass,
among all the Democratic candidates. That
you see is horse of dinersn color. Mr..
Clay says he is in favor Of Wing for the
Presidency, but has thus far expressed no
particular preference for any one candidate.
The Democratic Convention of Tennessee
has refused to instruct sor Mr.. Buchanan
Two SETS of delegates will be sent ilom
Mississippi and Alabama. 1t is doubtful
whether either South Carolina or Georgia
will send delegates.
WAsHIscros, Jan. II, 1859.
| There is not word Of truth, as I have
telegraphed you, in the rumor tha, Mr.. Clay
| has written a letter expressing his preference
| OF Mr. Cass for the Presidency. He prefers
"A Wing, as he has said this morning to a
! prominent Senator, under all circumstances
! but if Democratic candidate is 10 succeed
in the elections this fall then Mr.. Clay pre-.
! ters Gen. Cass, as the best Union man, Ia
all others. 1t requires considerable political
! dextcrily to construe this into declaration
on the part OF Mr.. Clay that he prefers Cass
! 10 any other candidate for the Presidency
Gen. Cass if elected, will be elected by
Democratic, not Wing votes.
Mr.. Clay, believe, is not in favor OF Gen
Scott and if | am permitted to express an
opinion, would sooner see Gen Cass in lhe
White House than the Commander-in Chic
of the Army. Such an opinion he may have
expressed even in writing TO some of his in
innate friends but the time for di,ulan.
all these things is not yet come, and will no
| for four or six weeks 10 come.
Notwithstanding Mr.. CIay's preference o
either Mr. Fillmore, or Gov. Jones OF 1cu
nessee for President in 1858, Gen. Scott i
considerably ahead o; all his Wing compe!i
tors, and hen the time comes the choic,
will be between him and MIR. Webster
is said but il has been said so often that j
has lost its piquancy, that Mr.. Fillmore vii
publicly decline being a candidate for re
election ; but ihs Cabinet is divided on tn,
expectancy of such movement. The chan
ces OF Mr.. Crittenden consider wholly al al
end
The Allen movement in Ohio does no
seem to have succeeded though Mr.. A ile
has showed considerable strength. The mo
tion 10 instruct for Mr.. Buchanan in Tenues
see has also been voted down, and the pro
liability is that the friends OF Ca.s and Doug
lass viii give Cen Butle1's adherents som
tronbie even in his own State, Kentucky. -
, Mississippi will beyond doub, send two sci
Of delegates, and the prospect is That Al5
r bama will do the same.
