DEATH OF HENRY CLAY-The Ion,

DEATH OF HENRY CLAY.-The long
expected demise of this illustrious man
occurred at y minutes past l l O'clock
A. NJ, on Tuesday the 29th ult. Borr
18th April, l777, he had passed his 18th
anniversary. Highest honors are being
paid to his memory, by public bodies anG
private citizens, in all sections of oul
country, without reference to party or sect
Telegrapbic reports give the following par
ticulars of his last hours
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Those atten.
dant upon Mr. Clay yesterday afternoon,
saw that change had taken place, indi.
eating breaking up of his system. This
was, III some degree, attributed to the ex-
cltement occasioned by the enthusiasm of
the ratification meeting in the evening.
At night he was calm, but his mind
wandered, and in low and distinct voice,
he named his wife, son, and other relatives,
in disconnected manner
In his last interview with Rev. DR.. But
Ter, the dying man expressed entire pa
tience, resignation and confidence in his
kedeemer
This morning he continued perfectly
tranquil, though exceedingly feeble, and
manlfesting disposition to slumber.
About half-past 10 o'clock, he asked
for some cool water, which he was in the
habit of taking through silver tube. On
removing the tube from his mouth, he
seemed to have more difficulty in swallow
ing than previously. He turned to his
son and said, "Don't leave me-" Soon
after, he motioned to have the collar of
bis shirt opened, and then, adding, "Pm
going soon," serenely breathed his last
No one was present at the time, except
his son, Thomas Hart Clay, and Governor
Jones, of Tennessee. His last moments
were calm and quiet, and he seemed in
the full possession of all his faculties, ap-
parently suffering but little. His coun-
tenance, to the last, indicated happy res
ignation, and full knowledge of his con-
diiion. He had long since made every
for death, giving his son full
instructions as to the disposition of his
body, and settlement of his worldly affairs

The corner stone of the new Lutheran
Church in this place, was laid on Friday
last, June 25th. The day was pleasant,
and large concourse of people in attend
auce. The opening exercises were held
in the Methodist church, commencing at
10 o'clock A. NJ. An excellent and ap-
propriate sermon was preached by Rev. j.
j. Reimansnyder, of Milton, from l. Cor !;
iii: l6. "know ye not that ye are the
temple of God" He was followed by
Rev r. Weiser in an animated address in
reference to the numbers, merits, and Ca
pabilities of the Lutheran church, and her
evident awakening to fresh life and ener-
gy, both in Europe and America. He
also spoke of the great work God had
given her to do in reaching and moulding
our emigrant German population. The
meeting then adjourned to the site Of the
new building, when the corner stone was
laid, with suitable ceremonies, by the pas
tor, Rev. NJ. j. Alleman, and Rev. R.
Weiser.
Rev. DR.. Schmucker, from Gettysburg,
was expected to preach the sermon on this
occasion, and had engaged his seat in the
stage to come, but heavy rain, coupled
with precarious health, prevented his at
tendance.
The new church promises to be one Of
the neatest and most commodious public
sdifces in the place, and will be completed
and ready for use this fall. K. w.

GENTLEMEN: have the honor to ac.
knowledge your personal kindness in pre-
senting to me this day your letter ON ,ia}iy
informing me of my nomination, by the
Democratic National Convention, as can
didate for the Presidency of the Un'=a
States.
The surprise with which rece.7 .7ea the
intelligence of the nomination, was nor
unmingled with painful solicitu-5, and
yet it is proper for me to say that the mau-
ner in which it was conferred was paeu-
liarly gratifying The delegation from
New Hampshire, with all the gov Of
State pride and all the war. tn of personal
regard, would 10. have submitted my
name to the Convention, nor would they
have cast vote for me, under circuma:an-
ces other than those which occurred.
I shall always cherish with pride and
gratitude the recollection Of the fact that
the voice which first pronounced for me
and pronounced alone-came from the
Mother Of States pride and gratitude
rising far above any consequences that
can betide me personally
May l not regard it as fact pointing
to the overthrow of sectional jealousies,
and looking to the perennial life and
vigor Of Union cenented by the blood
Of those who have passed to their reward
"a Union wonderful in its formation,
boundless in its hopes, amazing in its des-
tiny. I accept the nomination, relying
upon an abiding devotion to the interests,
the honor, and tho glory of our whole
country, but, beyond and above all, upon
. Power superior to ali human mig ght-a
Power which, from the first gun of the
revolution, in every crisis through which
We have passed, in every hour of our ac-
knowledged peril, when the dark clouds
have shut down around US, has interposed,
as if to battle human wisdom, outmsrch
human forecast, and bring out Of darkness
the rainbow of promise. Weak myself,
faith and hope repose there in security
! accept the Nomination upon the Plat
form adopted by the Convention, not be-
cause this is expected of me as candidate,
but because the principles it embraces
command the appreciation of my Judgment
and with them I believe can safely say
there has been 10 word nor act Of my
life in conflict.
l have only to tender my grateful &C.
kuowledgments to you, gentlemen, to the
Convention Of which you were members,
and to the people of our common country.
am with the highest respect, your
most obedient servant,
FRANK. PIERCE.

The Railroads-Pubiic Opinion.

We observe, in different journals, ex
pressions of opinion, all tending to con-
denim the present managers Of the Erie
Railroad interest in its attempt to deprive
the Susquehanna Company of its prior
right to an eligible rout.
It will be remembered that the Presi-
dent of the Sunbury g. Erie Company dis
tinctly announced-and that the impress
sion, all along the line, was universal
that the Erie road should be commenced
at W;Niamport, and extended Wes, FIRST
Under this announcement, individuals and
corporations in Erie, Warren, Elk, Ciin-
ton and Lyconing counties subscribed
nearly all that can be expected OF them.
1t was believed that a subscription, equai
to the importance of the work, woaid be
obtained in Philadsl phia, and that thereby
means would be secured to finish the work.
Meanwhile, the people beloso Willlamsport
went heartily to work to devise means to
complete the chain from Harrisburg to
Williamsport. But now the Philadel phi
ans, without consulting the stockholders
of the counties along the line, abandon the
line West for the present, and concentrate
all their energies to drive the Susq. Com
pany from their route on the East. This
movement is unjust and unwise. The
Sus9. Company has two-thirds of the means
to build and stock the road. The Erie
Company has not one-fourth of the sum
required, and Philada. has made no City
subscription. Is it not evident, that il
the Susq. Company should build as far a:
Wmsport, the prospect would be much
fairer, and public confidence greater, fol
the extension Of the grand line to Erie
Years Of time and millions of money woulG
be saved to Philada., should Baltimore
aid in making road to Wmsport, whicl
road-as provided for in the Charter-car
be used by Philadelphians on the same
terms as by Baltimoreans. The Western
stockholders seem inclined to compel the
Company to start from Williamsport, il
accordance with the express understanding
when they made their subscriptions.
AN Injunction has been applied for
and the Supreme Court, on meeting al
Sunbury, will decide upon the legal right.

J-A National Agricultural Convention
was held in Washington City last week,
and a National Agricultural Society
formed, of which Marshall 2. Wilder, of
Mass, is President. The Convention dis
cussed sor slhe time the memorializing of
Congress for the establishment of an Ag-
ricultural Bureau; the proposition was
finally laid upon the table, on account OF
its liability to compromise the interests
of Agriculture with Politics. A resolution
was finally adopted, recommending Con
gress to do something to foster that branch
of National Industry. We are informed
the Convention was spirited, and respecta-
bic in size, but have our fears whether
Congress will DO anything in the premises,
unless the Society point out and urge some
specific ways and means. Neighbor Jacob
Gundy represented Bufaloe Valley in the
Convention.
