Our venerable friend Biddle, Of the
P;nsburg American, gives the following
GOOD counsel and words of encouragement
to the Wings. We like the tone OF the
old fellow, and know it will find cordial
response among the Wings of Monroe
They never surrender"
awe say to the Whigs-hold to your
ranks. The enemy have run through US
in wild riot, overpowering us in numbers,
but in hostile associations. In few years
within the cycle of Presidential term
they will be torn with dissention and
broke BY divisions in their rush for spoils
and the proud Wing flag will loom up a
gain and be looked to as the anchor o.
hope to the true friends of the country IL
the hour of its sobriety and affection
We therefore say to the Wings every
where, despair not, but stand to your or
ganization."

Col. King.

The Washington Union says 1.-THE
rumor of the illness of this distinguished
gentleman, which has prevailed to some
extent for the last few days, is We are hap
Ply to state, without the least foundation
in fact. We learn from an authentic
source that the health of COL King pos
sesses even more than its usual vigor and
promises to sustain him in the discharge
of the duties of that exalted position to
which he has just been elevated by his
countrymen. Col. King is daily expected
in Washington, where he viii meet friends
from all parts of the Union to congratu-
late him on his well-earned distinction.

The Fowl Fever.

1t would seem by the following para
graph, which we extract from the New
England CrHirat0r, that the fowl fever
has by no means abated in that quarter !:
At the late Boston Fowl Exhibition,
(in September, 1852 three Cochin Chi
mas were sold at 500. A pair of gray
Chittangongs at $50. Two Canton Chi
nose fowls at $50. Three gray Shanghai
chicks, S65.-Three white Shanghais at
S65. Six white Shanghai chickens $40
to s45, &C., and these prices, for similar
samples, could now be obtained again and
again.
Within three months, extra samples
of two years old fowls of the large Chi
nese varieties, have been sold in Massa-
chnsetts at 500 the pair. Several pairs
within the past six months. Last week
we saw trio of white Shanghais sold in
Boston for S45 And the best specimens
of Shanghai and Cochin China fowls now
bring $50 and $25 pair, readily, to pur-
chasers at the South and Vest
These prices do not equal, however,
the sums which have been recently OBJ
tanned in England for fancy fowls. The
Cottage Gardener says:
Within the last few weeks, gentleman
near London has sold pair of Cochin
China fowls for 80 guineas, Q50) and
another pair at 30 guineas, (sI6O) He
has been offered EGO for single hen; has
sold eggs at guinea (s5) each, and has
been paid down for chickens just hatched,
IL guineas (s60) the half dozen TO be de-
liyered month old One amateur aolne
has paid upwards of 9400 for stock birds.

Race Between a Locomotive and a
Flock of Geese.

The Rochester American has the follow
ing incident: "Coming upon the express
train the other day, it so happened that
on leaving Fonda, flock Of some thirty
wild geese swept over into the valley Of
the Mohawk, just as the cars were under
way. These geese, being manifestly be-
wildered, kept on steadily up the river,
but well over on the opposite side Of the
valley, hence a good chance tpcompare
their speed with the lightning train was
afforded. At first it seemed to be about
an even thing but after few moments
it was readily perceivable that the geese
were drawing ahead of the locomotive
After few minutes the flock seemed half
inclined to drop down into the Mohawk,
and abated much of their speed, the en-
gine recovering the lost ground; but the
geese thought better of it, changed front,
sought greater elevation, and pushed "a
uGdO again III IH0 same QlTecIOU OF Gne
train. By this time the race became quite
exciting, and one could hardly refrain
from exclaiming, go, engine; pair in,
goose; but there was no need of exhorta-
ton, as both seemed letting out about all
they knew-the geese gradually drawing
ahead till within short distance of Little
Falls, when the bevy hauled up in the
winds eye, shivered a moment, and stood
down the river again, having gained in
the race about two miles. The geese
must have been going, when last seen, at
the rate of sixty or seventy miles an hour.
This is the first race we have seen between
locomotive and the feathered race, and,
though the latter had the best of it, the
former did well, considering that it was
compelled to carry weight"

life i'm New York

The Express speaking of the rapid
growth of New York, says
" Another novel feature of the city, is
the underground building which is going
on about US. In some parts of the city,
half as much business is transacted under
ground as above it. Two stories down.
ward are lighted from above, and here at
work, in rooms exceedingly well fitted up,
all sorts of people upon all sorts of jobs.
Some of the best warerooms and sales
rooms are below the surface of the earth.
The printing of newspapers is nearly al
together subterranean business, and
thousands of people, too, live in the first
and second basement or cellars, and some
of them far into the bowels of the earth.
We are often thankful that New York,
crowded and walled in as it is, has hole
in the top, from which descend little of
Gods daylight, for if it had not what
would become of us! 7"

SGaele Cora.

George Vickers, of Chestertown, raised
this year 26a barrels of corn OH one acre,
two roods and three perches of ground
being at the rate of I" one hundred and
three bushels and third of bushel to

it was a clover ley, and was moderately
cast with manure short time before be-
ing plowed. The CORR was drilled the
rows were about four and a half feet dis
tant, and the hills about Is inches, with
two stalks in a hill.

Fillmore in communicating to Congress
the documents relating to the attempted

The President acted in obedience to a
resolution of Congress, without inquiring
how it would affect Filibusterism.

0TOn Wednesday morning, at Jersey
City, two little children were left in a
room alone, where was sleeping an infant
when one of them procured large butch
er's knife, and said to the other, "cOme,
let us cut the baby's head off" They ac-
cordingly approached the cradle, turning
down the clothes, and were in the act of
drawing the knife across the infants
throat; when an elder brother fortunately
entered the room and prevented them.

More Rerei5aioa.-The Governor of
Arkansas recommends reputation. The
State owes two millions Of dollars, and
has nothing to show for it-not mile of
railroad, nor any great public works
She has wasted half a million of acres of
land, layished upon her by the Federal
Government. And now the Governor
hints at repudiation, on account of the
unwillingness Of the people to pay the in
terest on the public debts.

to last only to the 18th of March, it is ex-
pected that some business viii be done,
But the parceling out of the spoils, and
settling the course to be parsued by the
party to come into power may cause a
waste of time, and prevent the Legitimate

The den of some Counterfeitcrs of gold
coin was discovered and broken up, in
the basement of No. 70 HammerSly
street, n. Y, few days ago, The place
was ostensibly occupied as an engraver's
door and card plate establishment. Sew
eral officers suspecting the real nature of
their business, proceeded there and arres-
ted Louis BURY, Frenchman, who was
the only person present, and he, after
struggling desperately and finally attemp-
ting to take his own life, was secured, but
he is believed to be only workman for
others who are still at large. The Off
GERS found a complete set of implements
for counterfeiting gold dollars and sover-
elgnS; these consisted of a large press, a
galvanic battery, and set of dies, finely
executed for making gold dollars die
IN an unfinished state for making soyer-
eigns; large quantity of sheet brass,
from which thousands Of counterfeit gold
dollars had been made, together with
chisels, &c, of every description, suitable
to the purpose. They also found about
IS counterfeit gold dollars, and large
number in an unfinished state. The gold
dollars are beautifully executed, and ex-
cepting their weight, are we'll calculated,
to deceive. 1t is believed that thousands
of them are in circulation, and the public
will do well to be on their guard in rela-
ton to them

Bsg- The gold diggings of Australia,
according to reliable intelligence, yield
much more profusely than those of Cali
fornia. The latest news from that CONT
nent is to the 3lst of August. During
single week in July as much as l25,OOO
ounces of gold dust were brought into Mel
bourne Port Philip, which at valuation
of $50 per o., gives weekly product OF
two and half millions of dollars. OF
course, this rate did not hold through the

Yet there can be little doubt that the eli

We hope this is past. A nation in tht
