CUNNING DEvlcE.-A Philadelphiun, Who
had been indicted for selling lottery policies,
failing in his efforts to "buy his peace" with
the officers of the law, eluded their vigilance
by advertising his deati, and inviting his
friends to the funefai, which was conducted
with becoming solemnity under the direction
of his "bereayed widow" while he stepped
over into NewJersey. THE ruse succeeded
completely until an evening or two since,
when the dead man yielded to his desire to
visit Philadelphia, where he was discovered
by some one whose faith in walking ghosts
did not render him doubtful as to the identity
OF the cunning rogue. ~ s..s.,..i,

~ A German, the other day, stated that
Gen. Scott had lead the mob which destroy
ed the Catholic churches in Philadelphia u
few years since, and when asked who told
him, named man in the Southern part Of
this city. The dirty greaser who told the
German this falsehood is not to be blamed.
He is only used by those who know better,
as an instrument to tell such falsehoods us
they are not willing to father. In our opin-
ion, the sold gentleman" himself would con-
slider his extensive territory disgraced by
permitting such men to become inhabitants.

GEoRGIA.--As we expected, reaction il
already taking place in this State, and before
the election, Messrs Toombs and Stephens
will find out that the masses Of Georgia are
not to be cheatedinto an opposition to man
who is true patriot and has done so much
service TO his country. The Savannah Re-
publican says that a ratification meeting has
already been called at thai city, and it will
soon be discovered that instead of dozen
Wings in that State, enough will be scared
up to convince Messrs. Toombs and Steph
ems that they will have to follow instead Of
lead the people. We were convinced, at an
early stage in the proceedings Of the Con-
yention, from what Southern delegates
themselves said, that Gen. Scott was popu-
lar with the masses even in the South, more
so than any other man, and we have always
noticed that when the test comes, the poll
ticians are with the people. The masses
have the votes, and to their decision we
cheerfully, willingly and hopefully commit
the fate Of our candidate They will not
permit man who has performed such gallant
deeds and so successfully served his country,
to be beaten by one who has comparatively
done nothing. ......s.l l.. ...-.
One word more. The gentlemen above
named are called boilers. They left us some
years since in the hour of need, together
with Cabell of Florida, Clingman of North
Carolina and few others, upon The homi.
nation of Mr., Winthrop for Speaker of the
House, and have since then no more been
Southern Wings than Giddings has been a
Northern Wing. So much for that We
do not now particularly heed them in the
hour Of our prosperity. .... ..

B4rThe National Democrat says, the
nomination OF Scott has induced many ofthe
mercantile men of New York to seek ad-
mission into Tammany Hall. There are
hundreds of merchants, whose Democracy is
unqIestjonedj who for years have not partic-
ipated in the movements Of party, aid who,
for some cause or other, have not been seen
in Tammany Hall for long time. They
are now prepared to enter the Wigwam and

within lis walls of a party character. r.--Ddy-

at the same time, it would seem that the De-

been in the constant habit of charging with
all sorts of evil designs Upon the Iaboring

WASHINGTON, July 8.-Snat. Mr.. Doug
las moved TO take up the bill to establish
military posts on the emigrant route to Cal
itornia, each postto be 20 miles apart, man
ned each by 20 mon. 1t provides for grant
ing the right to O'Rielly e establish line
OF telegraph, to be protected by the military.
Mr., Rusk opposed the bill and after de-
bate twas postponed until Tuesday next
Adjourned
House. Mr.. Olds, from P. NJ. committee,
reported q bill declaring the Wheeling
bridge a lawful structure and post road,
which was debated until the morning hour
expired. .......... 49,.
The House then went into committee on
the deficiency bill, and resumed the consid-
Grafton OF Senate amendments. When the
clause appropriaiing $lSO,0OO for the con-
tingent expenses Of the Senate was under
consideration, Mr.. Jones of Tenn, moved a
reduction-he complained that S4,5O8 of
this fund was to pay Kossuth's expenses
while in the city. Hessread the items, such
as board, ten parlors, II chambers, cham
paigne, brandy, cigars, hack hire, &c. These
expenses were SLIPPER day, for each.individ-
ual He said he never would consent to
pay the bill. The items were however pas
sed, and after passingall other amendments,
came to the Collins line amendment, pend
ing the discussion of which, the committee
rose and the House adjourned.

RAIL RoAD EAsT.-The refusal ofthe CITY
of Wheeling to subscribe to the stock 6f tho
Central Road, except upon conditions that
would have been unjust to the stockholders
at large, produced u very unexpected delay
in the prosecution Of the work east. The
Directors OF the Company with commenda-
location, and decided upon route of less
present local strength, but one which is
cheaper to construct, and of more prospect
i've strength than the others., looking to de-
velopement of trade. The decision in favor
of the Leatherwood g. McMechan's Creek
route was upon the condition that $25O,QQO
of stock should be provided bs ifsffiends be-
fore the 9th Of the present month. ~,
To obtain compliance with this CO ndition,
meetings were held in every township along
and near the line, in Guernsey and Belmont
counties. The people were addressed, we
understand by Mr.. Davenport, of Barnes
vile, and also on solicitation, by the Presi-
dent of the Company. The greatest enthu-
siasm has been excited; and although but a.
bout thirty days have elapsed since the COM
mencement OF the agitation there were $685.
900 on the list upon last Saturday-about
S25,OO0 additional guaranteed, and every
confidence in the completion Of the list by
the close of this week. With this stock of
$3.50, 900 thus substantially provided for, the
Directors have assurances, from abroad, OF
ample aid to justify putting the whole line to
Wheeling under contract within q short
time.d - .''' a. T.. y 10
The Directors have had many difficulties
to contend with in the matter of the location
and in their efforts to reconcile differences
between the rival interests in the counties Of
Guernsey and Belmont; but we trust that
the clouds are now clearing awoy.-ZaneS.
