NJ. BED1N1, THE PORES NUNC1o.-On
the Oath ult.. Gen. Cass offered in the
U. S. Senate, the following resolution, and
accompanied with the remarks found be-
low:
Reso1ved, That the President of the
United States be requested to communi-
cate to the Senate, as far as he may deem
it compatible with the public interest, Il
copy Of any correspondence which may
have taken place with the government OF
the Papal States touching a mission to
the United States.
He said that it was well known that a
distinguished foreigner had been in this
country some time, who it was supposed,
had been charged by his government
with some special mission to the United
States. This was common proceeding
in Europe. This resolution was intended
to ascertain what that mission was. He
read in the papers, as he supposed other
Senators had, accounts Of outrages in New
York. Baltimore and other places, upon
the person of this envoy or stranger
Such proceedings would, he was assured.
be countenanccd by no American having
any regard for his country or his govern
mcnt.
This gentleman. if private citizen,
was entitled to the respect and attention
which the laws secured to every man CO.
ming to this land. II he came here in a
diplomatic character, then the character
of the nation was concerned in his pro
lection, From insult and outrage. 1t was
dcsiraL lie that the fact Of his being here
upon some mission to this government
should be known. If the existing laws
for the protection of foreign representa-
tivrs were so insufficient as to fall short Of
that purpose, then Congress ought to le-
giSIaLe upon the subject
He had made some inquiries as to this
gentleman, and had received assurances
that his public and private character stood
high in his own country and among those
who knew him. He knew the fact, that
previous to his being sent here, the Pa
pal Government had called upon the
American Representative at Rome, desi-
ring to know if mission to the United
States would be favorably received by the
American people and Government. That
representative had replied that it would
afford the people and Government of this
country great satisfaction.
1t was stated, as a cause for these out
RACES, that this gentleman was concerned
in the proceedings at Bologna when Bassi
was put to death He had investigated
the matter, and was satisfied that this
gentleman had no more to do with the
execution than he (Mr. Cass) had. The
Austrlans had taken possession of Be-
logna. and had setup a military authority
overpowering all other authority, and.
under their power Bassi was executed.
as ,hey called it, but murdered as he
would considered it. They seized Bassi.
tried and executed him while the hour
glass was telling sixty minutes. This
was done by Austrian military authority,
and in it this gentleman took no part.

CLARKsBuRG MECHANICS. -We have
frequently referred to the mechanics of
our place as being wofkmen inferior to
none in the country, and it is with plea
sure that We find others, in different To-
cations, bearing witness toitheir skin and
efficiency. The following from the Wes-
ton Herald, pays just compliment to one
of our ingenious townsmen:
MR. EDrFoR "A valuable Saw Mill
and Flou1;ng Mill have recently been
erected FOR me, atamy residence an Cedar
Greek, by Mr.. Gilmore Powers, of Clarks-
burg, with which | am very much pleas:
ed. The planning and work were done by
Mr.. Powers The is a gentleman that 1
take great pleasurein recommending to
allpersons who wishti work of that kind
done. consider him theoretical and
practical machinist of the best kind. Ny
Mills are on Cedar Creek, in Gilmer
county, and convenient to the Little Ka-
nawha River, from which, as also from the
Greek on which they are erected. saw
logs can be easily procured.
B. d. SHEPHERD.
~ We are acquainted with Mr..
Powers,-he is very intelligent and
practical man, and thoroughly skilled in
his profession. It was he who fixed the
wheels for Maj. BANDS Saw Mill. which
can cut 5000 feet of plank in twenty
hours. He also fixed the machinery for
DR.. Barnes Carding Machine, which
gives great satisfaction to the Doctor, and
is pronounced superior piece of work
manship. We understand that Mr.. P.
has fixed a Saw Mill in neighboring
county, (Upshur, we believe) which can
cut 1000 feet Of plank in "a hours. Ma
tive genius should be encouraged, and we
take pleasure in recommending Mr.. P. to
the public.

Horrible Atroeity 81 West Union.

- .
Horrible Atrocity in West Union.
Mr.. CooPER Some unprinciPled
scoundrel shot off gun on Thursday
night, the 18th inst, the ball from which
passed entirely through the centre OF the
room of the Seminary occupied by my
school. The ball passed through one OF
the lower lights of a centre window on
the north side of the room, and out OF
the opposite window on the south side
forming nearly horizontal line. What
aggravates the character of this infamous
act, is the fact, that there were four or
five small boys-two my own, and the
others my neighbours boys-and a young
gentleman, MI, John s. Davis, in the
school-room at the time. Another ag-
gravating circumstance is, that It was ge;
nerally understood throughout the town,
or at least known to many, that night
spelling school was to have come of IN
the Seminary on that evening. The
questions naturally arise, against whom
did the author of this deed design mis-
chief? and what amount of evil did he
aim to accomplish? Had the school been
in session, and the match formed for a
spelling race, he would most likely, have
taken away the lives Of several children.
But owing to bad weather, the school was
postponed. As it was. one young mfn----
than whom there are none more worthy
in this town-and four little boys, narrow
ly escaped The bullet passed within 10
or go inches of the head of Mr.. Davis,
and as it passed between the boys and the
door which leads from the inner to the
ante-room. the probability of killing some
one or more in going in and out was
greatly increased. The gun was fired
about seven o'clock. Everything will be
done in my power to ferret out this mat
ter and bring the offender tojustice.
Yours truly,

And folied--uh, 50 lovingly
Her rtny wings uron my breast
From morn ull evenings purple tinge,

Two rose-icaves, with a siiken fringe,
Smut softly on her starry eyes.

Broad earth owns not happier nest
Oh God, thou hast a fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall rest!

This bird with the immortal wing.

The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The blood It's crimson hue, from mine
This life which have dared invoke,
Henceforth is parallel with thine.
