Jeffersonian Republican. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853, 1852-02-19

By the Pacific at New York, we have news
from Europe to the 26th ult. 1t somewhat
important, Cotton and Breadstuffs had both
advanced, and the markets were active.
The English journals are actively discuss
ing the probabilities ofan invasion of England
by France, and the military pretensions and
capabilities of the English people. The Lon
don Morning Chronicle publishes letter
from its Paris correspondent, stating that
Louis Napoleon's whole thought is of an in
vasion of England-that such war would
be popular with the French people-and that
Russia woald join France, &c. &C.. Some of
the English papers scout the idea, but recon-
mend reform in their military organization.
France.-On the evening of the 25th ult.,
President Bonaparte gave grand ball at the
Tuilleries, at which between four and five
thousand persons were present. The Presi-
dent was unguarded and assumed an appear
ance of perfect security. The affair was of
the most brilliant character.

Mercantile AgeIscieS.

The spy system so pointedly rebuked, by
Judge Belts, on the trial of the libel suit
against Mr.. Tappan of \. Y, a short time
since, appeard to be regarded with even
more dislike at the South than in this part
OF the country The Columbus Miss
Republican says:
ave see BY reference to Court reports,
that the judgment of $4,000 obtained BY
Mes>rs. RayIor, Hale, 4 Murdock, Of
Columbus, Miss, against Sheldon p
Church, of New York has been confirm
cd by higher Courtto which MrChurcL
appealed. Mr.. Church was employed by
a number of Merchant, and others in the
city OF New York, in the year 1916 60
previously and sub cquently, to .favel
and inquire into the pccuniary condition,
&C., OF Merchants doing business though
out the contry. These reports he re-
ports he forwarded to New York, where
they were printed each year, and distrib-
uted amon- his subscribers. 1t was In
one of these books that the libel COM
planned of was published, and for which
jud .memt Of $4,000 was obtained
This suit is but one of number which
have been commenced against Mr.. Church
and his sub cribcrs, and by parties whom
we rejoice to know will never let the mat
ter rest, till the whole of this infamous
system of espionage sexposed and broken
up. 1t has been proposed to publish the
names of the firms who support and aid
this infamous mode of proceeding,
throughout the land, that the country
merchants may take warning and shun
their house. The Repabitcctn then al
ludes to the Tappan trial and denounces
the system in terms of unmeasurable
severity.
Itsays the New York agencies receive
some s3OO,O00 yearly for the reports
they give out all of which the country
merchant has to pay in extra profits on
the goods he purchases Must not the
country merchant. feel proud of the priv
ilege of aiding in paying this sum yearly
for spies and infornIers to watch them ?
The Republican adds that the Judge, in
the suit against Church, concluded tho
following highly complimentary observa-
ton to the class to which the defendant
belongs:- -
''Spies and informers have in all ages
been avoided by their fellow men, scout
ed from the pale of civilized society, and
hanged by nations

Important Decision.

The Supreme Court ofthis State, Judge
Lewis delivering the opinion, has dcci-
ded an interesting case. The Court of
Common Pleas of Philadelphia county
instructed the jury in the case that if
they believed "that the defendant was
the plaintiff, and rented the land of him
tor farming purposes, and the manure
was made upon the laud in the ordinary
course of farming, and was heaped up in
the yard, and the defendant, about the
time his lease was to expire, took the
manure (the subject of contr .versy,i and
hauled it away, without the consent of
the plaintiff, when there was no authority
given him by the lease for him to do so,
the action can be sustained, and the plain
tiff will be entitled to recover the value
of the manure that was in this manner
taken and carried away" An appeal
was taken and the Supreme Court affirmed
the decision.

TutercStiug 10 witnesses.

Judge Sherwood, of the Distric: Court,
Philadelphia, has decided that witness is
bound to tend Court, after he has been sub
poenaed, without being paid in advance for
for his services. The witness who ELECTED
the decision was a member of the bar, who
stated that he was often annoyed by snbpG-
mas to testify, and he wished to test the ques-
ton whether he was bound to attend without
being first paid. The Court said he was
that he must answer the subpoena of the Court,
pay or no pay. and look to the party calling
him for payment afterwards.

Az Ingenious Lock.

Mr. Frederick Boulen, Of Allentown, says
the Democrat, has invented a new lock, which,
for safety excels anything Of the kind now in
use, and is destined 10 supercede all others
for stores, banks, &c, as well as private
dwellings 1t is double spring door lock,
with an alarm attached, which makes re-
port as loud as an ordinary pistol. II is so
constructed that by turning the key once, the
bolt moves sufficient distance to lock the
door-which answers all purposes for the day
time. Turning the key again, a spring is
touched somewhat similar to the spring of =
pistol-cock, which communicates with small
barrel at the rear Of the lock, and by means
of IFS mechanism, when properly loaded, is
said to make noise loud enough to be heard
three squares of. A more efiectual bar 20
thieves and burglars could moi well be de-
vised. In cities or towns, where there is
night-wa lehman in almost every square, it
seems to % the use of this lock would con-
duce greatly TO public and private safety, and
that burglary and night-theiving would be
almost entirely unknown. We understand
that the inventor has fled his coreat for
patent.

A Hard Story.

A correspondent writing from York
Pa, says that at Columbia where he has
been on visit, the ice is piled up in
many places to height of 40 or 80 feet,
and in one place it towers up like a
great mountain, nearly or quite 100 feet
high and is apparently impenetrable by
the rays of the sun, and likely to endure
until "dog days" In fact the whole
river in that section of country, seems
to be solid mass of ice, and many Of
the inhabitants express the opinion that
it will be nearly midsummer before it
will all be gone.

Protecting Letters.

Many thousands of letters sent to the
post Office are returned as dead letters,
the persons to whom they are sent not
being found. These are destroyed un-
less they contain enclosures of some
kind and often information of value to
the persons addressed, or their friends,
is destroyed with them. We see it
stated that in new edition of the regula-
tions of the Post Office, about to be
published, it is provided that in every
case where the writer of letter chooses
to protect it from the chance of being
opened at the Department and destroyed
as dead letter, he can do so by pre-
paying the postage, and writing legibly
on the sealed side the words, "tO be
preserved" in which case it will be res
cued from the liability of being commit
ted to the flames, and its seal will remain
intact.

Remarkable Discovery in Vtrginia.-A
letters in the Richmond Times state that a
few days ago, while several men were enga-
ged in blasting out limestone near Buchanan,
Bottecourt county, they discovered q cave,
with an entrance of some six or eight feet in
height, and upwards of one hundred long,
with TWO apartments. In the first they found
some earthen ware and a large stone cross !;
on the cross there was some carving, but it
was SO much defaced by the hand oftime that
it was scarcely discernable. A number OF
citizens, with lantern. subsequently entered
the second apartment, where they found a
skeleton seated on a huge iron chest, with its
back resting against the wall. On opening
this chest, they found it to contain gold coin,
perfectly smooth on one side, and cross, with
some characters on it, on the other The
gold in The chest by weight was worth seven
hundred and eighty-three dollars

The Della aware & HHdsOm Canal
Company.

1t will be remembered that, at the last
session of the Legislature, the question
Of the resumption by the State Of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal was agitated,
and the matter was referred to commit
tee Of the House of Representatives
We have before us the report of this
committee, consisting Of Messrs. Z. A.
Penniman, Robt G. Walker, and John
d. Morris. 1t makes, with the arguments
of counsel, examination Of witnesses and
tabular statements, pamphlet of eighty
pages, but the gist of it lies in the report
itself, occupying some sixteen pages.
As to the right of the State to resume
the work, the committee seems to enter
tain no doubt They state the amount
required to be paid to the Company for
such resumption, at 81 ,246, ,437 90 that
being the difference between the amount
Of tolls received and the cost of construc-
tion and repairs. In this estimate they
are at issue with the Company, who
claim compound interest, which would
Of course swell the amount immensely
After arriving at these, however, the
committee proceeded to consider the
policy of resuming the canal by the State
and they give many forcible arguments
against it. They consider that the canal
would be far less profitable in the hand
of the State than in the hands of the
Company. The New York section OF
the canal and the railroad to Carbondale
and Archibald would of course remain III
the hands Of company, and there is no
reason to suppose that they would use the
Pennsylvania section, which would new
erthcless have to be administered by
State officers at heavy expense. The
numerous railroads in that region would
relieve the company of all dependence
on the State canal, and they would find
an outlet for their coal by other routes,
without paying any toll to the common
wealth. The Committee enter into copi-
Gus details to prove this and conclude
by stating, that elf the State shall resume
the canal, it will be useless and of no
value" They speak of the great benefit
resulting to the region trayerSed by this
canal, by the company's administration
of it, and although they say they were
not instructed to report on the expediency
of the States resuming it, they add that
their views may be readily gathered from
the report.-PhaladeI11ltta Bulletin.

p~- A new mode of settling theologi-
cal doctrine has been introduced in
Tennessee. The Tennessee Baptist, of
JAN II, says that "a bond of a thousand
dollars, endorsed byseveral wealthy mem :
bers of the Baptist Church, was placed
in the hands of impartial men, to be
given to any person who would find in
the Word of God authority for infant
sprinkling.' 1t is added tn at this reward
has four times been offered, and as
many times forced the ack owledgment
that Gods Word contains no precept for
the practice"
