Patrick HcnTy.s son,


HoNoR's PUFF OF Noisy BREATH-The
youngest son OF Patrick Henry died not long
ago poor and alone, in pull house in Floyd
county. Virginia. Recently the tavern peo-
pie applied to the overseers Of the poor, for
special grant to indemnify him for boarding,
funeral expenses, &c. This was refused, on
the ground that retrospective appropriations
are unauthorized, and that it would be estab-
fishing al improper preoe lent. called to
see the old man some months before he died:
his given name was Nathaniel. He said he
was young when his father died, but he re-
membered him perfectly. aud was pleased to
talk about him. His clothes were clean, but
not whole. There was evidently a struggle
between his pride of ancestry and his p 'es.
ent poverty. He had been teaching " at is
here called an old field school, for amuse.
ment, as he insinuated, but from necessity, as
knew. His health falling, he removed to a
hotel in Jacksonville, and was kept by the
host Tor year or more, who presumed that
some relatives or friends would defray his
expenses. He died with dropsy of the chest,
in few moments after the operation of tap
ping had been performed by DR.. Stuart.
The Legislature Of Virginia was appro-
priatlrg thousands on a marble statue OF the
father, at the very time the son was dying at
the expense ofh;s landlord!

FIRE.-The "Old Brewery" Of Refs g.
Kroener took fire last night about o'clock,
and the alarm spread rapidly all over the
city. There was general getting up and
busting" among the firemen and citizens
generally, but when they got to the fire it
wasn't there. A fire did actually break out
though, and it is said that if the fellow who
bawled himself hoarse about the streets CIV
ing the alarm had thrown bucket OF water
on the fire, that would have been the last OF
it, but then our boys would not have had the
pleasure of running "wid der machines."-

A Good Friend.

We have to thank our excellent FRIEND
Mr.. Geo. w. Gormon, of Owensville, lnd.'
for a club of forty subscribers to the Weekly
Journal, accompanied by the cash. This IS
by no means the first favor OF the kino we
have received from George. We need not
say we appreciate his Kindness for we 'nten0
to tell him that very soon in person. II we
have 70 90 out to Owensville especially to
take him by the button. He cpologisss tor
not having ne mt more, as he had no time togo
around the neighborhood soliciting, otherwise
he would have had a greatly increased list!
Now this illustrates just what good friends
can do for US with little effort. There 10
no town or thick.y settled neighborhood in
this region, but in which an earnest friend,
with little labor, might obtain Us very re-
spectacle club of subscribers, and without its
being necessary for him to labor longer or
more zealously than we are sure we would
gladly do for him. For the increase in our
subscription list, we are principally indebted
to the kindness Of just such friends. We
hope they will give US the opportunity OF
reciprocating their good will and efforts, and
thus tighten the obligations we feel to the
depths of our heart.
We take this opportunity to say to any
others who may wish to join the OwensvilIe
club just made up, that they cen have an OPP
portunity of doing SO by calling on Mr.. Cor
mon, and leaving their names and advance
payments with him.

MYSTERIOUS REMAISs.-A few DAYS ago
while a number OF workmen were engaged
in digging vault at Baltimore, one ofthem
struck his pick upon "hard" substance sew
eral feet below the surface of the earth
Upon removing the dirt, and inspecting tn
object, it was found to be piece OF plank,
lngeniously painted on one side to resemble
hickory wood, and on the other in imitation
OF granite. 1t did not seem to have been
buried more than a few weeks, yet il was
found 10 be quite rotten. Traces of oblitera.
ted characters were dis 'overable on the hick-
DRY side, but it was impossible to make them
out. On the granite side, which had new
appearance, these words were visible under a
strong light:
"Resolued. That the Democratic party wil
resist all attempts at rener0ing, in Congress or
out OF Ut, the agitation Of the slavery ques-
ton, UNDER WHATEVER SHAPE OR
COLOR THE ATTEMPT MAY BE
MADE"
The mysterious relic was handed over to
a distinguished antiquarian, who took it to
Washington and placed it in the Patent Of
nee. Since then it has been visited and ex-
amined BY President Pierce, Senator Doug.
las, and all the Heads of Departments ex.
cept, perhaps. the Secretary OF State. None
OF them pretend to know anything of it's or.
igin, or how it came to be "run into the
ground. "-l Dayton Gazette.

Notwithstanding our Indiana State Demo-

O feeling q, home and abroad that looks any
thing like peaceful acquiescence. Even IN
our own State, the Democratic party are ol'
yided on this Nebraska question. But IN
other quarters, there appears to De something
o little more serious presented 10 the COUSIN
GRAFTON of the administration, than mere
difference of opinion. The course OF the
Democracy even in President Pierce's own
State, is rather perplexing at this time
There. it is not yet understood whether the
administration or the opposition will get the
two Senators to Congress, soon to be elected
BY tbs Legislature, but the chances are in
favor OF the opposition. In Pennsylvania
too, the course of the Democracy must be
rather tantalizing to the administration. As
the Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Patriot, a Nebraska paper, says-the
anti-Ne braska feeling has Frustrated the
Democratic party in Philadelphia city and
county, and is Frustrating it all over the Key
stone State. Coed and experienced politi-
clans, of both parties in that State, confident
iy predict that Gov. Bigler, the Democratic
candidate for reelection, will be defeated by
James Pollock, the Wing and anti-Ne5raska
bill candidate, by at least ten thousand ma
jority. II is also confidently predicted that
the Administration will not find more than
six of its friends and advocates returned 10
Congress from the entire State.
New York need not be mentioned. Even
the Softs there, the very knaves who got
all the Offices, are getting sick of the admin
istrstion. and are going with their whole
hearts against the Nebraska doctrine. The
Hards did not need this encouragement to
make them hate the administration. Where
then is the ADMINISTRATION to look for sym.

South. which must most heartily despise the
power which has sought to court up its votes
by treason to the North, by surrendering
their own rights for Southern votes. Truly
this administration is in a pitiable condition.
How honest men. how good Democrats, how
old line party men, can feel anything else
than loathing for the concentrated imbecility
and demagoguesm and corruption, called the
Pierce administration, it is not within US to
conceive.

~ The editor of the Henderson Reporter

OF The editor of the Henderson Reporter
charges us with intimating that no compen-
sation had been made our officers, G avitt and
Ward, for the capture of the kidnapPer
Brown. Our Henderson neighbor must have
an exceedingly curious Imagination to force
any such inference out of the concluding
paragraph of our notice. We certainly new
or had such an idea in our head, and never
wrote anything shat man with single sane
idea could construe into any such meaning.
After narrating the circumstances of the ar
rest, we concluded as follows:
Our offers exhibited their characteristic
energy in securing their customer and con-
fess that they have learned something by the
operation.
This paragraph was devoted expressly to
our officers, Gavitt and Ward, and they fully
understand its meaning and intention. In a
conversation with Marshal Ward, after his
return from Henderson, we expressed to him
our astonishment that any two officers oil
their caution and experience should pursue
such customer as Brown without being bet
ter prepared to contend with him in such an
emergency es occurred. Mr.. Ward remark.
ed in reply that "they had learned something
by the operation" and explained that the
great haste in which they were compelled to
make the pursuit, was the cause of their GO
ing urarmed, and the cause of their being
repulsed by Brown.
Now we submit to the sense of the people
OF Henderson whether this paragraph bears
upon its face the imputation given it by the
Reporter.
The thought about our officers being paid
never occurred to Ne, nor doubt that the in.
terested citizens of Henderson would COM
pensate Messrs. Gavitt and Ward, If any
compensation was due them for their ser.
vices.
As to what officer made the formal arrest
OF Brown after his arrival at Henderson, that
has become matter of veracity between
our officers and the editor Of the Reporter,
which We are not authorized to settle. We
feel sure that Gavitt and Ward did learn
better than TO again pursue a Nicer
thief without the means of taking him. We
are pleased to notice the magnanimity of the
citizens Of Henderson, in the liberal com.
pensation they have already made our off,
