Arrival Extraordinary.

We have noticed some time ago, in sew
eral of our exchanges, the very remarkable
circumstance ofthe arrival at somo place, of
the man who never took newspaper-con-
sequently he was much surprised to hear that
Millard Fillmore was President of the Uni
ted States, he was firmly under the impress
sion that Andrew Jackson was--several
other matters he learned which were really
news to him.
We had an arrival a few days ago into our
littletown of Lancaster, almost Ms extraordin-
ary as this was. We allude to Mrs. Powers, a
lady, who lives some four or five miles from
town, who brought with her, her seren child
rem, the rery prolific yield Of far years. This
is fact Mrs. Powers has given birth to sew
en- living children in four years, having had
twins three successive times, and the fourth
year the odd one. The State should certainly
make some provision for this family, as we
believe all seven are girls, therefore not cap
able of working their way through life like
boys.

Remarkable Case of Longevity.

Died in this District, on the 7th inst, Mrs.
REBEccA GENT, aged one hundred and ten
years, native of Lancaster District. She
enjoyed good health until about two years
past and supported herself by her industry
up to that time. -Four months after her
marriage, her husband enlisted and joined
the Indian war, and served five years he
then returned to his wife and lived with her
the remainder of his days, and reared large
family, OF whom three of their children are
alive at this time, the Oldest persons known
in this District perhaps.

Congress.

In the Senate on Wednesday, Mr.. Gwin
introduced bill granting land to Califor-
MIA to aid in the construction of canal
across the Sierra Nevada Valley.
Mr.. Hunter reported back the bill to
extend the warehousing system, by estab-
fishing private bonded warehouses.
The Michigan ship canal bill was pass

Davis, took up the river and harbor bill.
A bill regulating the payment of the
expenses Of the Cayuse war in Oregon
was taken up and passed.
The river and harbor bill was then tax
en- up, and debated until the hour adjourn
ment.
In the House of Representatives the
Wheeling bridge case was resumed, and
debated until the expiration of the morn
ing hour. The House then went into
Committee Of the Whole, and took up the
bill making appropriations for the Navy.
An amendment, proposed by Mr.. Stan
tonof Tenn, increasing the salary of tho
Navy Agent at Memphis was adopted.
Mr.. Stanton then submitted the amend
ment, TO which he spoke yesterday, rela-
tive to building ships of war, to replace
unscrviceable vessels.
After some debate the amendment was
adopted. The House at four o'clock ad-
jouned without taking vote on the bill.

a5B" We very much regret to learn, that
the remarks we made in our last paper rela-
tive to the celebration of Hanging Rock Di-
vision, give some offence to members and
other gentlemen in that vicinity. We glad
ly avail ourself of the opportunity to say,
that we intended no disrespect whatever to
our friends. To show our honesty in max
ing this assertion, we merely observe that
we read the proof sheet of the article in
question, to two of our friends, to see if there
were an expression in the same calculated to
offend even the most sensitive. One ex-
preston our friends did object to, which we
Immediately erased. The article as il ap-
peared in the paper, they saw nothing in to
complain Of We repeat, that our notice of
the Division, the band, and the ladies', was
not intended as showing any disrespect to
those persons; it was written more as peice
of humor, and intended as such. We trust
this brief explanation will satisfy all con-
cened, that no harm was intended, and we
are glad the opportunity is given us of max
ing our position right before these persons.

Outrageous attack upon Southerner.

Ocean House, Newport, Aug. 0, 1852.
This usually quiet village was this morn
ing full of excitement, occasioned by an
attack of walters upon the person of Z.
NJ. lerger, Esq, young planter from the
South. The circumstances are as follows:
On Sunday, at dinner, Mr.. Yerger was
helping some lady friends to dish, when
a waiter attempted 10 take it from his
hands. lie very promptly and properly,
raised his case-knife which he held, and
struck the walters face. The waiter was
taken from the room, and dinner went on
as usual. The next morning, Mr.. Yerger
went to breakfast, and, being seated, dis
covered movement among the walters,
and having armed himself in anticipation
Of an attack, he prepared for selfdefcncc.
lie held apistol in each hand, and as the
mob advanced, he told them he would
kill the first man who came within five
feet. BY this threat, believe his life
was saved, for mono Of them dared to
overstep the mark. The cry of "South-
rons." was Immediately made, whereupon.
Col. Christy, Of Kentucky, Lieut.. Nelson,
Of the Navy, Mr.. Pollard, of Alabama,
and many other friends of Mr.. Yerger,
came TO the rescue.
The mob was kept at bay by Yerger's
pistols until he was surrounded by his
friends; he was thus deprived of the use
OF his arms, and the mob closed upon
him. A pistol was wrenched from his
right hand, the guard tearing his finger
severely. The waiter who got possession
of the pistol made several attempts to fire
upon Mr.. Yergcr, but was prevented from
fear OF killing some of his accomplces.-
Mr.. lerger was taken from the room bv
his friends, "a et armis, and the walters
soon expelled by the remaining Southern
ers. They gathered, however, in another
part of the house, and being in number
about hundred, created great consterna-
ton among the lad es. Mr.. Yerger was
compelled to leave the place by advice of
his friends, about fifty of whom accom-
panied him. Many Southerners are still
preparing to leave. Mr.. Weaver did all
he could to arrest the movement, but be-
ing man Of not much decision, he of
course failed.
| must say that if guests are to be thus
treated whilst visiting Newport for their
health or pleasure, it would be wise for
them to remain at home. understand
the mob have threatened the lives of Col.
Christy and Lieut.. Nelson, who were
warm personal friends of Mr.. Yerger, and
stood by him in the midst Of the Difficult
ty. Several walters were knocked down
while attempting to follow Ycrger to his
room Altogether we have had a excit-
ing time--truly disgraceful and outrageous

the stOckholdcrs-but our Indignation arises
from this. Camden has been talking about

New Cotton.

Mr.. James Robinson, has sent us boil of
new Cotton. This is the first opened Cot
ton we have heard of in the District. There
has been so much rain of late, we fear it has
retarded the growth and developement of
the Cotton crop very much. Corn is now
made, and harvest will be realized, that will
bring cheer to old mems hearts, and stir
young farmers to greater and renewed cner-

General Pierce's Reply.

In another column will be found the cor
respondence between Mr.. DeLeon and Gen.
Pierce. Since Gen. p. has denied that he
made the assertions which were credited to
him, we observe that number of papers
have come out, protesting they did not Gre
dit the charges in the first instance. This
puts us in mind of little JOHNNY and the
horse" Oh, ma, the old horse Napoleon
kicked me heels over head this morning"
"Just as expected" says ma.
For our part, we believed the rcputed
charges, and in publishing General Picrce's
denial, we do so with much pleasure, and
are bound to acknowledge that we look
upon him ; candidate for the Presidency
with much greater favor than we did before.
The following from an abolition paper,
the National Era, speaks much in favor of
Pierce rs defender of the South:
"The Snnny South, paper published
at Jacksonville, Ala, copies our record of
the votes of Gen. Pierce on the slavery
question. 1t says: "This is a strong ar
ticle, and brings proof, satisfactory and
conclusive, that Gen. Pierce is sound to
the core on the great ard absorbing ques-
ton (slavery) which so vitality interests
the South" and asks what more can be
needed to satisfy the South that General
Pierce of all others is the man to suit the
times" ''lf he is called to account at the
North for sustaining the peculiar interests
of the South, why should he not receive
credit to an equal extent at the South?"
True enough. lie is the very man to
suit the South; but is lie the man to suit
the North? These Southern men talk rs
though there were no North-that the
slavery interest, like Aaron's rod, should
swallow everything else, and make the
truths of the Declaration of independence
dead letter. Mr.. Pierce has made his
choice--it remains for the Independent
Democracy Of the country to make theirs"
