That Letter |!

We have just had an opportunity of pc
rusing document, addressed few days
ago by Gen. John B. Clark TO some Boone
county democrats, in reply to letter from
them, soliciting him to make them a speech
during the session of the Circuit Court,
which has just closed at Columbia. 1t came
TO hand too late for anything like an extend
ed notice Of its contents this week, but we
promise our readers that we shall pay due
attention 10 it and its author in our next
issue.
We think this letter is dose calculated
to work out the dregs of that disease, which
q few Of our "unsuspecting republicans
contracted in the Union Hotel, erected il
1850 by Clark s. Lowry for the accommo-
dation of stragglers. This Hotel, we are
happy to say, has recently been abated as c
public nuisance, and the proprietors turned
out of doors by c. F. Jackson, who has {
lien upon the premises.

Gro. WITHERELL, Esq, leading and
working Democrat of Ceaveland, Ohio, has
come out in letter strongly for Gen. Scott.
In his letter, he says:
81 AN a Scott man, and / have always
heretofore been an uncompromising Demo-
erat. Such am now, but when the Dem
ocratic party, forgetting those principles
which should guide it, arrays itself against
the best interests of our country, do not
feel myself bound by IFS action. | support
Scott because he is the representative of
three great principles which are Democratic,
namely: Government appropriation for In
ternal improvements; a tariff for revenue,
ailording protection TO American Industry,
and obedience to all the compacts of the
Constitution. Upon all these questions
find General Pierce wrong upon the record,
and by his votes always opposing protection
to the Mariner, the Mechanic and the Farm
err. For these reasons | support Winfield
Scott, and with a score of neighbors and
friends, heretofore active working Demo-
Gratis, shall do all in my power for the cleo
ton Of that well tried patriot to the Presi-
deney in November"

JEFFERSON OITN, oept. IL.
In the Senate, this morning, after the trans
action of unimportant business, the consid-
Grafton of the bill to accept grant of land
to the State of Missouri by Congress, to aid
in the construction of certain railroads, and
to apply portion thereof to the Hannibal
and St. Joseph Railroad, was resumed.
Various amendments having reference to
the taxation of property of the Company,
were offered and rejected, and then the Sem

road bill.

seph Railroad Bill.
Mr.. Sturgeon offered in lieu of the third
section of the bill, an amendment, providing
that whan the receipts of the Company shall
exceed its expenses, so as to enable it TO
make dividends, it shall pay into the treas
ury of the State annually sum of money
which shall be equal to a taxation by the
State of its capital stock, at its cash value,
which shall be a consideration to the State
for the execution of the trust reposed in the
State by Congress; and for the purpose Of
ascertaining when the receipts of said COM
pany, in its business, over and above its eX-
penditures, will justify said company in
making a dividend; the Governor of this
State, or such agent as he may appoint, shall
at any time after the company has such bust
ness, have the right to examine the books
of said company; and it shall be the duty of
said company to advise the Governor of the
fact, whenever it is in a condition to declare
dividend. This amendment was accepted
by the Senate.

as amended by Mr.. Sturgeon, was passed
by the following vote:

out the first, second, third and fourth sec.
tons Of the bill; for which he offered hi:
bill as substitute, upon which he spoke il

ST. LOUIS, Sept. Is, '52.

DI' IoOiS; pept' 10, ON'
DEAR TImEs-It has been raining pretty
much all day, TO the delight of everybody,
and the clouds Of dust that almost suf1oca-
ted street walkers and business men on
yesterday are now laid low. Our country
friends may now venture TO the city with
out perillng their health and sacred eyes,
1t is hardly necessary to comment upon the
miseries of St. Louis during hot, dry sea-
son; or even dry one without the heat, for
every person that has visited the city at
such seasons of the year, has experienced
something of this unpleasantness.
The business season is fairly opened, and
Main Street and the Levee have had fine
run of business during the week. Some of
the country merchants are held back by the
enormous freights that are charged on the
upper rivers, which, owing to the low stage
of water have been ruinously high for some
time past. But from present prospects there
is likely to be no better time during the
fall. learn that, notwithstanding the
freights, the wholesale merchants are max
| ing it the interest of their customers to make
their purchases at this time. Most quail
ties of goods, it is said are being sold very
low.
There is but little stir here in politics.
Hon. II. S. Geyer, Hon. ]. G. Miller, and
Hon. G. Porter returned from Washington
this day week. Senator Geyer is to address
the "Young Mems Democratic Wing Asso-
citation" some evening next week. 1t is
presumed that his speech will afford con-
siderable interest TO the citizens of the city
and State. He will be able to give us, nc
doubt some very interesting information ii
regard to the prospects of Scott and Graham
and the doings of our friends and adverse.

A DEEPER GAZE INTO THE STARRY
WoRLD.-An undertaking of great interest
to scientific persons is now being carried
on within few miles of London. A veal
thy country clergyman, named Craig, is
constructing new monster telescope, on
the achromatie principle, which will sur
pass the celebrated instrument constructed
by Lord Ross in ireland. Its total length
will be eighty-fve feet, and its greatest cir
conference thirteen feet. The weight of
the tube is three tons, and the contrivances
adopted to prevent vibration, and to allow
off its being rapidly turned to any required
point, are described as being singularly p ~
feet and ingenious. 1t is understood that
the observatory will lie endowed by Mr..
CRAIG, SO that it may be maintained in per-
petuity for the advantage of astronomical
science. From the date Of its completion,
which may shortly be expected, it VIII

The first piece found was by native
He was bushman. The scale of intellect
of the Australian is remarkable for its low

sovereigns he said he had found piece Of
"yellow stuff" far bigger than all those to-
gether, which he had hidden, and would
bring it to his master, if he would give him
a new suit Of corduroy. The bargain was
struck, after which the man went and pro-

hundred and six pounds, and valued at f5,-

GEN. PlERcEs Horse SHOT! HA! HA!
HA.!!-We believe there isn't Demo-
cratic paper in the United States that has mt
thrilled and startled its Democratic readers
with the story that Gen. Pierces horse, on
on the way from Vera Cruz to the City of
Mexico, was 'shot at the National Bridge"
Democratic flesh has everywhere crept upon
Democratic bones, and cold chills have
passed through Democratic frames at the
thought of the awful peril with which the
New Hampshire General must have been
surrounded when the thick coming bullets
of the enemy struck and killed his noble
charger in his tracks. Now we find COM
munication in the Boston Atlas giving an
authentic account of this hair-breadth es-
cape of the New Hampshire General. We
publish it below, sincerely hoping that none
of our Democratic friends will faint at pc
rusing the tale of the awful dangers of their
beloved Pierce:
ga day or two since, was informed by
an eyewitness, of the facts relating TO the
story of Gen. Pieree's horse being shot
under him while on the march to the City
of Mexico. My informant was soldier in
the Mexican war, and at this time belonged
to Pierce's body guard, and ,caS acting as
such. 1t was before they reached the Ma
tional Bridge, think, that the Generals
horse was shot. For, be it understood, the
herse was shot through the neck-and never
used after. At the time he was shot, he
was tied to baggage wagon, in rear of the
troops, and, at the same time, Gen. Pierce
was riding in wagon near the front Of the
march, at distance Of five or six miles
| from his horse-and between them were
some four thousand men. This can be yer.
flied by affidavit, if any of the Generals
friends desire it."
We have seen another story about Gen
Pierce's hat having been shot through. W.
suppose the terrible incident occurred aftel
the New Hampshire warrior had thrown o
given away the old hat, and bought a new
one Lou. Jour.

OBITUARY.
ApoLpHus A. MoRR1s, only child Of Mrs. Re-
becca Morris, died on the 9Th September, aged four
years and seven months.
How are my hopes, my lambert visions fed,
How disappointment racks my grief-torn hearty
My sole delight, my darling infants dead
Thus ends all earthly joys, thus dear connee-
tons part
Fondly hoped-how vain that hope appears
NV smiling boy would live for days to come,
With flial love would soothe my ength'ning years,
And Irvine living wreath to grace my humble
tomb.
How vain is every sublunary ioyl
On swiftest pinions each fond pleasure flies,
Hopes opening buds despar's cold blasts destroy,
And pleasure only blooms TO wound us when 10
dies.
Beauty and youth and innocence are vain,
Can infant smiles delay the parting breath2
Can youth enkindle health's sweet blush again?
Orlambent beautys bloom avert relentless deathp
Oh no. nv son, could innocence prevail,
Pale death had never snatched thy tender breath,
Or beauty, thy fair cheek had meier grown pale
With whitening hectic and the chilling damps Of
death.
Yet through the gloom that hovers round my head,
| Some cordial rays of Heavenly joy see,
And consultations kindly dew is shed
To sooth the gref-torn heart that mourns sweet
boy for thee.
