The Miller Delusion, the PHILADELPHIA G;

The Miller Delusion, the Philadelphia Ga.
zette says, is again spreading in many portions
of the country, particularly at the northward,
and camp meetings of the poor victims of this
wretched fanaticism are becoming occurrences
of frequent note in the newspapers. 1t is as
tonishing that the repeated explosions of this
humbug, the miserable disappointment of its
believers, and the impoverishment of many of
them by their W acts of insane folly, in giving
away their goods, wares and merchandise,
should not have operated as a check upon any
farther manifestations. But is seems that the
population of our country has become of so
peculiar a cast that no delusion is 50 silly as
not to find followers. Trpe, these poor people
injure no one but themselves; yet their follies
are a sad reflection upon our boasted intelli-
gence, education, natural shrewdness, and de-
cided progress towards SECRETARY refinement.

Every one must be glad that the season is
again near at hand, when all OF our splendid
packets will be again in full feather. The Gypsy
has continued her trips throughout the season,
and will, in October perhaps, be succeeded by
Capt. URE's new boat the Capitol, will Tom
be aboard! 3 which all, no doubt, will be glad
to see. We predict there will be more OF solid
comfort, and strength, and safety about her,
than the giIded jew.jaws, which merely please
the eve. URE knows what luxury consists OF,
and what g~ratifes a body. The Laurel HlA
is laid up for a short time for some necessary
repairs, while the C.. d., Jr., occupies her place
a splendid and popular boat, which latter
feeling must ever accompany any boat on which
the noble. hearted LANDRY may be occasionally
seen in the capacity of commander-CoTToN,
too, her regular Captain, has hosts of admirlng
friends, and his cordially, care and N
dating disposition well deserve them. The
Bella Dona, which has been laid up during the
past summer, Cher place being taken by the
Ceres,) has again resumed her trips, landing at
our wharf every Sunday morning and leaving
every Wednesday afternoon; there is no better
steamer, nor a more obligin. gentleman than
MORRISON. The New Latona has not yet re.
entered her old trade, that we learn, but we ex-
peet every day to see her; we are not alone in
again wishing to see her and her good natured
and indomitable commander Gross, again at
our wharf. The above are all Bayou Sara, Ba-
ton Rouge and New Orleans packets, and with
ont them what uould we DO? We wish them
all, all sorts OF succession if the packets are
making money, we take it for granted that our
planters, our merchants, and the various trades
are also increasing their worldly fortunes-and
We are no enemy of those whose hearts are
made glad by another's prosperity, although
fortune may fail to extend similar favor TO Us.

ThE First Remittance.

The first remittance made to the Washington
National Monument Association, of money col
lected at the polls under the Dime Contribution
plan, as suggested by this paper, was the sum OF
some thirty-one dollars, which the Association ac-
knowledged by a present to the parish of two
beautiful engravings, one of Washington and one
Of the Monument, under which the sum received
was stated, and the manner in which it was OBJ
tanned. That was in 1851, we believe. Since
then the Association has received many thou
sands of dollars, collected as first proposed and
collected here. These engravings are now to be
seen hanging up in the Sheriff. office. Our pa
rish should be proud Of these trophies of its pa
triotism.

A schism already exists in the new Spanish
Cabinet formed by Espartero. 1t is hoped.
however, that it will soon be healed. 1t has
hitherto been found impracticable to smuggle

New York, Sept. 5.-The world renowned
Grisi made her first appearance in the United
States, at Castle Garden, last night, in her
celebrated character of Lucresia Bcrgia, and
completely took the immense audience by
storm.
There were at least 5000 persons present
on the occasion, and their delight amounted to
what may very justly be called perfect furore.

Mrs. - SHAW, in about the roth year of her
age, wife of Col. J. SHAW, formerly of Indiana,
but for many years a resident of La Grange.
The deceased was one Of the best and most ex-
plary of her sex-as a wife, a mother, and an
humble and unpretending Christian, her virtues
and her goodness shown forth in all her acts, res
plendent and beautiful, growing brighter and more
hallowed as the light of her existence grew dim
and shadowy. From an acquaintance of many
years, none knew better than ourself her purity
and her worth, and the gentle and amiable disro-
sition manifested to all. She has gone to realms
serene and happy-iooking to this, we trust the
fond ones she has left behind, will bear up under
their ~afliction with caImness and fortitude.

Singular Affair.

A few days since gentleman and lady
stopped at Ballou'S Hotel, in this village, for a
leisurely sojourn. He represented himself
from Lower Sandusky, Ohio, and said he was
jOurncying for his wife's health. On the sec
ond evening after his arrival, the lady came
from her room to the Office and gave the clerk
a small package which she said contained poi
son, and wished him to take care of it. Soon
after, the gentleman came down, apparently
much excited, and said he wanted light to
look for something under the window Mr.
Ballou, the landlord, was now present, and
article he was in search Of Mr. Ballou then
asked him what these strange circumstances
meant. The stranger said he and his wife
lived unhappily, and they had made up their
minds to destroy themselves; and for this pur-
pose had purchased some strychninc of an
,apothccary. While he was engaged in this
conversation the landlady visited the room of
the strangers, when the woman said the man
who accompanied her was not her husband;
that he had cnticcd her from home; and that
she lived very unhappily, SC. She also said
that her pretended husband was a meslnerist;
that she was "subjcct' that she could not
control herself when in his presence; and that
whatsoever he willcd her to do, she did invOl-
UNFAIRLY. She also said that her home was in
Southington Conn.,, and that her gallant be-
longed in that vicinity.
Here was truly singular dcnonement The
man denied the woman's story; claimed her as
his wife, and forbid any interference in his do
nestle concerns by others. But the la,ly's
story appeared the more plausible and truthful
and the fellow was ordered to lodge for the
night in a separate apartment. This he finally
consented to, after vainly trying to retain the
key of the wite's chamber. Very early the
next morning, (which was the Sabbath,)
the fellow decamped, and has not since been
heard Of
The next day, gentleman Of this village
who was going to the West, accompanied the
duped and unfortunate woman to Hartford
where she was given in charge of another gen
tleman who was to see her returned to hcl
friends in SOuthington.
The unmitigated scoundrcl who thus played
his FRANKS with this unsophisticated young
woman is named, as she said, Joseph Niles
Pemblcton. He is half-breed Indian, o
smart appearance, and swarthy complexion
He was well dressed, and appeared to have
plenty of money. 1t is hoped that he may b.
caught, and given permanent home in tn

publication should arrest the attention OF pa
rents. They will see what amount of injury
their children are likely to receive from indul-
ging the taste for confectionery:
The Lancet Commissioners in reporting
the result of their Investigations respecting
colored confectionery, express their surprise at
the extent to which deadly and virulent poi
sons are daily made use of by the manufacture
ers of those articles. One hundred and one
samples were analysed; and of the yellow sew
enty contained chrOmatc of lead and cOlored
gamboge; seventy-nine of the red contained
cochineal, red lead, and by-sulphuret of mer-
curry; eight of the browns contained furrugi-
nous earths, either vandyke, brown, lumber or
sinna; two Of the puppies contained Prussian
blue and cochineal; thirty-eight of the blues
contained indigo, Prussian blue, Antwerp blue,
and sulphuret of sodium or aluminium; nine
teen of the greens contained Brunswick green,
consisting of mixture of chromate of lead
and Prussan blue, verditur, or carbonate of
copper, Sche's gree or arsenite of copper. The
above coors were variously combined in diff
ferent cases, three and even four poisons APP
pcaring in the same parcel of confectionery In

far the most handsome site on the River. At
the bend, some half mile below town, the coup

non River trade, this being the nearest point
to the nourishing settlements at that place.
