says:
Ii Is understood that for every place-even
those oil the obscurest character. wnere disease
and danger must be braved, without the hope
of any pecuniary reward.-there were at least
forty applicants. This Administration Is re.
markable for the secrecy OF its councils. 1t il

Gen. Humans CorpSe.

A most extraordinary account has reached
us In private letter from Vienna, to a hig h
parsonage here, and has been the talk of OH r
salons for the last few days. 1t appears ,ha t
the circumstance of the death of Gen. Hayna,t
presented phenomenon of the most awful
kind on record. For many days after death,
the warmth Of life yet fingered in the right arm,
and left leg ofthe corpse,which remained limp
and moist. even bleeding slightly when prick
ed. No deluson, Notwithstanding could be-
maintained as to the reality OF death, for the.
other parts ofthe body were completely mort.
fed, and interment became necessary befor'.
the two limbs above mentioned had become
either stiff or cold. The writer OF the letter
mentioned that this strange circumstance has
produced the greatest awein the minds of those
who witnessed it, and that the Emperor had
been so impressed with it that his physicians
had strictly forbidden the subject TO be alluded
to in bis presence.-Paris corr. Of The atlas.

NEufimy at Sea.

We publish below an extract from letter de-
scribing mutiny on board the ship .sGlance, -
bound from Now York to Australia Mr.. James
Burberry, formerly clerk in the Strtesmm office
who left Columbus in December last, is passen-
ger on board the vessel.
NEAR ST. PAULs, Feb. l.
We have Just had small touch of mutiny; but
peaceable.
On crossing the line, the captain gave strict
orders that there should be no rum given to the
sailors. At midnight the sailors came on deck as
drunk as they could be, and demanded money or
liquor from the passengers, the sailors retired to
the forecastle.
On Monday, the Sd of February, the head nu-
tineer came to take his turn at the helm, and be-
gan to abuse the captain; he did this SO outrage
ously that Captain Taylor ordered him to be
placed in irons. The man then drew knife, and
it required three of the strongest men of the ship
to secure him and place the irons upon him. We
ascertain that there four of the in state
of mutiny, and these were all ironed Two OF
them threatened the life of the Captain.
Placed in this condition we are short handed;
but fortunately we have three sea captains aboard
who lend their aid. They Immediately volunteer
ed to assist to carry the ship into port, and most
Of the passengers have offered their services to
stand guard, &c.
The captain intends to put in to Pcrnambuco,
where he intende to ship new crew.

superintendent OF Common Schools.
Shall Rlc be q Party asaan!

The True Democrat thus speaks OH the subject
"Next Fall the people will have to elect Su
perintendent of our Common Schools.
Shall this election be party one!
We put this question to Wing and Democrat
to the Plaindealer and Herald, the Journal ane
Statesman. We put it beyond them to any voter
who may hear us.'
Now we ask the True Democrat to say posi-
lively that it will not make the election party
one. The Democracy will make nomination
zone that is fit to be made,'' and one that all par
ties can and should unite on, if they are so very
anxious to prevent the election from being par
ty one.
If the nomination is good one, as we have nc
doubt it will be, let them fall into its support
That the nominee will be a democrat we have moi
doubt, but if he is good man according to the
theory of the True Democrat, it will be no objec.
ton and we shall hope to see these ssno party
men'' practice what they preach. But this s'no
partyism" on their part is all CANNON. It is only
bait thrown out to catch "gudgeons."
They hope by the cry of ''no party" to secure
the election of some whig or whig freesoiler
The moment they discover that democrat is
likely to be put forth as the no party candidate
they will 'bolt,' for who ever knew them ever to
admit the fitness of a democrat for office! Such
men are always 'no partizans' and 60 for the
.sbest men, but according to their notions, the
best men always to be found in their party
We hope to see the Democracy putin nomina-
ton democrat and good man, and expect to
see him elected. There is the same propriety in
making party nomination for Superintendent as
for Supreme Judge, and what position would the
democracy now be in, ifthey had listened to the
syren cry of whiggery and free soilism, of "no
party" in the election of Jud ges! !-1rumBuU Dem.

Am Extensive Conspiracy.

Rev. MIR SMITH, Of the Mansfield CO., States
man, has evidence that the Brotherhood of Thieve:
the existence of which was proven on recent tria
for burglary, in Lake County, Ohio, extends over
every State in the Union. He says:
"We are aware of the existence of said society
| by the confession of one of its members who hae
too much conscience for such brotherhood
He stated that they were banded together for rob-
berry, theft, counterfeiting and murder, and to pro-
tect each other from the fangs of the law, by being
witnesses for each other, and getting on juries
when they could. Death, he said, was the pen
atty of any betrayal of their secrets or plans, OF
of any of the brotherhood, Or ofany intidelity to
their secret obligations.
He further states that this society is extended
to every State in the Union-has branches and
officers in all the States-that its members were
numerous and respectable, many of them occu-
pying important stations; and having wide in
1uence, some are members of churches and
church officers and attend to the forms ofreligion,
such as asking blessing at the table, and attend
ing to family worship. These statements were
made in confidence, under circumstances calculat-
ed to leave little OF no doubt of their truth. The
name of this humble pentent confessor dare not
be given, as he would certainly be put to death if
his confession should come to the knowledge of
the brotherhood.
There can be no doubt of the existence of this
society, and it is fearful state of things, and
shows to what use secrecy can be put. To have
secret oath bound and banded robbers, thieves
and murders mixed up with the community, and
entering into our families, and spying out all our
precious things, and at the same time praying
with us, and going to the sacred communion, is
truly horrible state of society. But so it is, we
know not the danger to which this alarm may ex-
pose us, but the community ought to be apprised
of these things, and we have concluded to sound
out the alarm.
A Similar society was formed in Europe in
1777, by Weisaupt Zwack and Kniggee, which
continued ten years and was then broken up by
the discovery of their papers in the handwriting
of Zwack They had receipts for producing
abortion, filling rooms with supplying odors and
divers like hellish things, and scores of counter
felt SEALS We shall rejoice to hear of the like
detection and disruption of the one that has made
its home with US.
