BALTIMORE, March /, 1855.
Once again we hail the advent of genial Spring
Old Winters term has expired, and though he may
yet still lnger with us for few days or weeks, he
is under marching orders and must sooa withdraw
to his fastness in the North. There is something
cheering even in this nominal commencement Of
Spring; and, although rough and turbulent we
gladly welcome blustry March.
To-day the newly appointed city officers enter
upon their duties; and throughout the various mu-
nicipal departments thore win to-day be complete
shifting Of responsibilities and POWERS into new
hands May the future demonstrate that these re-
sponsibilities and powers have not been committed
to unworthy or incompetent persons. These new
officials have II in their power, by firm, unfinch-
ing, discreet and jealous course Of conduct 70

The residents Of the towns on the Eastern and

to hear that the favorite steamer Hugh jenkins win
resume her accustomed trips on Monday next from
this city, there being no longer any serious obstruc
ton to fear from the ice in the rivers and bay.
The bill to abolish the office Of City Physician,
was yesterday taken up in the Second Branch City
Council and, after protracted debate, was passed.
by an almost unanimous vote.
The prospect for an increase in the city taxes for
the past year has induced the City Council to ser
ously consider the possibility OF adopting some
plan for the reduction OF the burden. Last evening
Mr.. Cox introduced an ordinance in the First
Branch requiring the Commissioners Of Finance to
pay over to the City Register to 90 into the gene
raj fund Of the city, the amount nearly $4,000,
now In their hands but there Is some doubt
whether this money can legally be taken from the
possession Of the Commissioners as there Is an or
dinance Of the city, well act Of Legislature
which designates the uses to which Il is to be APP
piled. A portion Of the money was received from
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and Is to be
set apart as a sinking fund. The most feasible plan
yet proposed to reduce the present levy appears TO
be the proposed collection Of the tax arrears,
amounting 70 nearly 100000 AnrIcUs

Brooklyn NAVY YARD.-The storeship Supply
has been dismantled during the week, and the
naked hull is now moored at one Of the wharves
in the navy yard.
The Lexington has been stripped of her sails
and rigging. Both Of these Japan cruisers are
undergoing inspection by board of naval officers.
The crews Of the storeships have been paid of
and discharged during the week. The officers have
obtained the usual leave Of absence for three
months, and gone to their respective homes.
TIE frigate Congress Is now in complete order

Ey- Some Of our Norfolk friends have
understood" that we had expressed the opin-
ion that Mr.. Wise would be elected Governor
Of Virginia.
We entertain no such opinion, and we have
been wholly misunderstood If any man has
understood" us to say anything of the kind
We believe Mr.. Wise will be beaten by many
thousands of votes. If our friends harmonic
in Virginia in the selection Of candidates, as
we trust they will do, they can beat Mr.. Wise
ten thousand votes, with the most perfect ease,
and if Capt Rynders will only go through Vir-
ginia, az he promised to aid him, we will risk
a suit of clothes on 10000 majority against

Horrib BILE Discovery---Ten Persons Perish-
ed on the Prairies.


We are furnished by gentleman from Lafay.
cite, Ind, with the details Of rumor current in
that city on Thursday, which fills the mind with
horror in view Of the suferngs Of the party to
whom Il refers.
On the Saturday preceding the memorable
storm Of the 2lst of January, two families number.
ing ten persons, moving from southern Indiana to
northern Illinois, arrived at Oxford, the county
seat OF Benton county, Ind, about forty miles
northwest ofLafayette with two OK teams, and well
provided with ncccssaries for the road. They re
NAMED there through the storm, and on Monday
morning resumed their journey. Last Tuesday
morning man passing over prairie, only about
FIVE miles from Oxford, came upon a sight which
filed him with horror.
The carcases Of two oxen, from which the visce-
ra bad been removed, lay upon the ground. In
side Of one Of them were the frozen bodies Of four
children and IN the other the frozen corpse Of the
mother with nursing infant at her breast I'm
der the snow was heap Of ashes IN which the
iron Of the wagons showing that the party had
broken them up, and burned everything they bad
In them, in tho effort TO save their lives Not far
from this spot was found the body Of the other
woman Of the party, partly concealed in snow
drift, and near her, one of the men, The two other
men had not been found
II is probable that the party became ncxtrica-
bly, involved in the snow drifts on the bleak prai-
re, and lost their presence Of mind. After burn
ing up their wagons, il would seem that the men
had killed two Of the oxen for shelter to those
found In them and then, accompanied by one
woman, yainly endeavorcd to reach the town they
had left and procure aid to rescue their compan-
ions The two other oxen had wondered oil.
There was nothing about the persons TO indicate
who they were and nothing more Is known about
them than was accidentally communicated by them
during their briefstsy at Oxford.

LATER FROM RIO DE JASEIRo.--The ship Sophia

Captain Baxter, was loaded and ready TO SAIL with
1894 sacks coffee for New Orleans; ship Marion,
for New York, with 900 sacks; barques Fame and
Justins for Baltimore, and barque Curioca, for
Philadelphia, with 1900 sacks, would sail about

What does Il Mean.

The Legislature Of Wisconsin has elected to the
United States Senate, Durkee, free soil Dem
ocratl And the same Legislature has passed a
resolution condemning the Known othngs! The
Illinois Legislature has elected to the U. s. Senate
Trumbull a free-soil Democrat There were three
Pierce Democrats who voted for Seward there were
nine who did not vote but were ready to vote for
him If 1t became necessary to his election. Fifty
or sixty Democratic custom-house officers from
New York city did all they could to secure his
election and defeat the Know-Nothings What do
these things mean? Has the northern Democracy
joined the abolitionsts to put down the Know
Nothings Sentinel, 3. City, N. @.
That is precisely what they mean The
Forney and Pierce party throughout the coun-
try have been coalescing with the abolitionists,
the foreigners the Catholics, and all the odds
and ends Of parties, to break down the Ameri-
can party As we stated yesterday, the adj
ministration have brought out two anti-Ne-
braska men for Congress, in New Hampshire,
whilst, at the South, they proclaim their devo-
ton to Southern institutions! This is beau
tiful game to play. They raise the cry Of abo-
litionism at the South against our party, and,
at the North, they swear most Justify that our
party is pro-slavory! Seward heads the oppo-
sition to our party at the North, and Wise
leads the opposition at the South.

In this mammon-worshiping age, it is rare to
find man place his usefulness to the public, before
his interest. During late visit to the City Of
Spindles," we were presented by professional
friend, to the celebrated Chemist, DR.. j. G. AVER,
whose name is now perhaps, more familiar than
any other, at the bedside Of sickness, in this coun
try. Knowing the unprecedented popularity Of
his medicines, and the immense sale Of them, we
had expected to find him millionaire, and rolling
in wealth. But no, we found him in his laboratory,
busy with his aborers, among his crucibles, alenl-
bcs, and retorts-giying his best personal care to
the compounds, on the virtues of which, thousands
hang for health. We learned, that notwithstand-
ing his vast business and its promptreturns in cash.
the Doctor is not rich. The reason assigned is,
that the material is costly, and he persists in max
lug his preparations extensively, that the net profit
is SMALL american Farmer Philadelphia.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN THE U. S. CIRCUIT
CouRg.-F. o. J. Smith declared TO be the opn-
er of one quarter part of Morse's Teieeraphic
Inrentions, ,cith potcer TO grant Valid Licen-
ses.-ln the U. S. Circuit Court, yesterday,
Judge Curtis gave a decision in the case of
WIN. B. Clum VS.. Chas. H. Brewer & Bald
win, F. o. ]. Smith and John T. Smith et ais.
This was a case of Bill in Equity brought by
the compainants, as assignors from Prof.
Morse, of a right to use said Morse's Tele-
graphic Inventions on a line from Boston 10
Provincetown, and asking to enjoin the resPon-
deats, who were erecting and using telegraph
between the same places, under license to use
the same inventions from F. o. ]. Smith, Esq.
The ground taken by the complainants was
that Smith had no interest in said invention,
and could give no licenses. After full hear
ing of both parties and an investigation of
Smiths title, the Court, Mr.. Justice Curtis,
decided that Smith was aud is the legal and
equitable owner of an undivided one-fonrth
part of all said Morse's telegraphic inventions,
and as such, entitled 10 grant valid licenses to
any one 10 use the same, and refused to enjoin
the respondents.
This decision is quite an important one, and
will be received with much interest by all who
are interested in the telegraphic business of the
country.
The ease was argued by John C. Park, Esq,
for the cempiainants; and by Rufus Choate and
F. O. ]. Smith, Eses., for the respondents

SEQUEL TO THE OUTRAGE AT READFIELD.-
Our readers will remember the particulars we
published some time since in relation TO the
burning in ef6gy of Mr.. A. Welch, the clas-
sical teacher in the Seminary at Kent's Hill,
ReadfeId. We have just received further in
telligence in regard to the matter-together
with the names of six students engaged in the
disgraceful affair, which we prefer not to pub
iish for obvious reasons. We understand that
the students who were convicted of being en-
gagged in the outrage, were subjected to disci-
pine. We do not learn the nature of their
punishment but are informed that it was not
of such character as to satisfy Mr.. Wclch,
who accordingly resigned his situation in the
Seminary. Mr.. w. has long been known to
US as an accurate, faithful and competent
teacher-thoroughly educated at one of the
English Universities, and gifted with talents
of no common order-sufficient to enable him
to occupy much higher position than that
which he has held for several years. Misfor-
tunes only have compelled him to follow such
a course of life. The wicked, or thoughtless
outrage perpetrated by these few students has
deprived the Seminary of its most competent
instructor.-Sate0 of Maine.
