DAGUERREOTypEs.

We noticed last week some excellent
Daguerreotype specimens exhibited by Mr..
Mason who has taken rooms in the State
House. Since then we have had an op-
portunity of seeing number of the like
nesses of our citizens, which are not only
true to nature but are excellent specimens
of the art. Mr.. Mason is one OF the quick
est operators we know of. He took in our
presence, an excellent likeness of child
in three seconds OF time, after 5 O'Clock, p.
NJ, and could have taken it in one second
of time, few hours earlier. This is an
important matter TO those who have chill
dren, whose ikenesses they wish 10 secure.
AS Mr.. Mason's pictures are. exceedingly
low, only one dollar, we would advise all
TO embrace the present opportunity. He
has also on hand handsome assortment of
cases OF every style ard variety.

the Presidency, will convene on Tues
day the 1st day of June. A number of
delegates are already on the ground. There
can be no doubt bnt that Gen. Cass has a
majority OF all the delegates, and would be
n minated at once on the first ballot if the
rule requiring two thirds did not prevent
it. The impression is, however, general
that Gen. Cass will be nominated.

FATAL ARRAY BETWEEN HON. Ed
WARD A. HANNEGAN AND CAPTAIN
DUNCAN.

Hon. Edward A. Hannegan, late U. 3.
Senator for Indiana, (and morerecently U.
s. Ambassador to Austria and his brother
in.law, Capt. Duncan, living in The same
house at Coviugton, lndianna, on the most
friendly terms, had personal misunder-
standing on the 7th inst. II appears that on
the day and evening previous, they had
both been drinking, and that on the morning
of the sad occurrence, Capt. Dun went
up stairs 10 Mr.. Hannegan's room, and an
alteration ensued between the parties,
when Capt. Duncan gave Mr.. Hannegan
slap in the face. Mr. Hannegan, upon the
ndignity he felt, and the impulse Of the
moment, struck Capt. Dune an with knife
in the lower part of the stomach. II result
ed in the death of The latter after thirty
hours of intense suffering. The Lafayette
journal says: .... ...s
'To all inquiries as to the cause Of the
difficulty, its origin &C., Capt. Duncan inva-
riably replied, Nothing, it was nothing,
and seemed determined not TO reveal any
thing that would afford additional evidence
against Mr.. Hannegan. 1t is said that a
short time before he died he observed that
he himself was TO blame. Ii is thought by
some that he made private declarations as
to the whole matter, but if so they have not
ye. been made public. He died after suffer
ing the most intense pain, calm and COM
posed, at IL o'clock on Saturday last, fully
end freely forgiving Mr.. Hannegan. Imme-
diately after the occurrence, Capt. Duncan
requested the Masonic fraternity, of which
both he and MIR. Hannegan were members,
10 take him in charge. They did so: and
he was buried with the honors of that order
on Sabbath afternoon. The funeral took
place from Mr. Hannegan's residence, where
Capt, Duncan died. The latter was The
only living brother of Mrs. Hannegan, who
still lives, the object of universal pity. The
anguish of Mr. Hannegans mind is said
to be most intense and excruciatng. The
consequences of his rash act have driven
him TO state closely bordering on in
sanity"
Captain Duncan raised troop Of horse in
Licking county, Ohio, during the Mexican
war, and served gallantIy on the field of
battle. He was brave, noble, and generous,
and as a merchant in Covington for the last
two years, was highly esteemed for his gen.
tlemanly demeanor Mr.. Hannegan and
himself had always been warm friends, bu!
unfortunately they were both incorporate,
and at the time of the occurrence, as
well as the day previous, were intoxicated
with liquor.

Ex-SENAToR HANNEGAN, of Indiana, ha.
delivered himselfnp to the proper authorities,
for an examination into the circumstances,
resulting in the death of Capt. Duncan, his
brother-in-aw. Capt. Duncan is said to
have admitted frequently that he slapped
Mr.. Hannegan in the face previous 10 being
stabbed. He died, forgivinG him, without a
murmer or complaint, only regrelling, as he
said, lha, he had not died in Mexico Pre-
vious TO his death, Capt. D. made over his
property 10 Mrs. Hannegan and her sister.

sUNBURY AND ERIE RAIL ROAD,

As some inquiries have been made in re-

Rail Road TO occupy the ground of the Sus-
quehana Rail Road, we copy the follow
ing section of the act passed at the last
session of The Legislature, which only au-
thorises the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
Company TO extend their road to Harris
burg on certain contingency. 1t will be
perceived that such power is only conferred
in case the Susquehanna Railroad Company
shall fail to put that portion Of the line OF
their road under contract between Bridge
port and Sunbury, within one year from
the passage of the act above referred to, and
complete the same within two years there
after:
"SEcTIoN Q. That the Snnbury and Eiie

ground that the voting was not 10 be by
