Observation-Disclosures Message.

At the time of writing, no news has been
received of the organization of the House.
The Old Line Democrats are sticking to one
man Richardson, Of Illinois, for Speaker, and
clarifying in their own unity and obstinacy
Big and little Democratic editors are hurrahing
for the Immortal a." who are sticking to
Richardson, as though these seventy-four gen.
tlemen were doing some very proper thing for
the good of the country, instead of stopping
the wheels of Government for the time being.
These ssventy-four patriots ought to be consid-
cred almost immortal with the Democratic
party, because they are all that's left to the
Democracy of the tremendous majority that
party had in the House in 1853!
We shall have the Presidents Message here
an type, a day or two after the organization. 1t
will be read with great interest, and we shall,
therefore, give it to our readers at the earliest
hour.

Tha Storm Of SATURDAY. NIGHT.

The storm of Saturday night was by no
means confined to this locality. Some of the
shipping at Louisville were in danger for a
time and the regular packets were prevented
from leaving on Sunday by the wind. The
Journal of Monday says:
In the city the storm made itself felt in sew
eral locations. About one-fourth Of the east
wall of the new tobacco warehouse, in the
course of erection on the corner Of Main and
Ninth streets, was blown down. We also
learn that the gablend Of dwelling near
Green and Thirteenth streets was blown
down A portion Of the eornice on the four
story building on the corner of Jefferson and
Fifth streets, was blown off, and the tin on the
roof ofthe Cathedral was lifted and rolled to-
gether. Various signs, awnings, and shade
trees were blown down.
At Cincinnati the storm ragged, but doing no
more serious damage than the unroofing of a
house, and blowing down the chimnies of the
Jacob Strader. Up the river far as heard
from, the storm prevailed, and apparently
nearly as fercely as in this region. There
has no doubt been good deal Of damage done
to fiat and coal boats, &c. et

+ 0TThe following communication has been
sent us by several prominent citizens of Mt.
Pleasant who youch for the truth of the facts
contained therein. Ifthey are facts, Judge N.
has disgraced himself and his office. IF they are
not facts, our columns are open for his denial:
Judge Niblack and our Prohibitory Law.
Mr.. Sanders: As the conduct of our Off
GERS and politicians is public property, and is
expected to be used as such by handing round
in community, we presume no one will feel
grieved or even surprised at seeing the bad as
well as the good conduct of the above named
gentlemen going the rounds in the public jour
mails Of the day.
Therefore you may give the following a
place in your paper with the assurance that
the authors only desire to make the commune
ty acquainted with the true character of those
they elevate to office.
We suppose but few know that Judge Nib
lack is in sentiment bitterly opposed to our
Prohibitory Liquor Law They do not know
it for the simple reason that they cannot know
upon short acquaintance for the Judge finds
it convenient for political gain to make him
self "all things to all men," 1t will no doubt
surprise portion of community, at least to
learn that he not only opposes the Liquor
Law, but actually violates it himself, and en-
courages disloyalty and insubordination on
the part of Others yet it is true in its fullest
sense as the following facts will show:
/ On the Oath of November, 1855, the Judge
did present himself in the low doggery situa-
ted on tie Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. two
allies North of Mt. Pleasant, Martin county,
Indiana, owned by one Henry Drum, who had
been arrested for violating the law, by selling
liquor, (and the suit still pending) and called
upon him to set out his liquor, offering to stand
between him and all danger. The WHISKY
was handed cut. and the Judge treated to the
amount of some SO so worth-alLti tight direct
/ ly, and it is said with much plausabiIity that
the Judge was tight too At any rate he bid
them go on their way rejoicing, said the law
was unconstitutional, and encouraged Drum tc
persist in his course, that there was no dan
ger. Now we ask is it not strange that mar
in his high and responsible position, whose du
ty it is to sustain our laws and exact its pen
alties upon all violaters Of the same, would sc
degrade himself as to be found in such acts
and encouraging such conduct? We think the
people of this district are not willing to elevate
such men to office as the Judge has proven
himself to be, if they know it. They wan
lal0-abiding men for all officers especially fol
those who stand as watch guards over oul
lands and over our best interests.

or Judging from the following, we fear the
editor of the Rockport Democrat has not en-
tirely recovered from the multiplicity of
mint julps which he recently claimed to have
enjoyed in this city. In the same number of
his paper in which was published so basely
obscene story, as should hereafter condemn
the Democrat to circulation in bawdy houses
alone, we find the following intelligent edito-
rial:
ave notice by our Louisville exchanges that
the Know Nothings held convention in that
city last'week, and among the orators on that
occasion we notice three notorious A6olitionistS,
Gen. Sheets and Col. Sanders of Indiana, and
the celebrated Niger thief, Passmore William
son, of Pennsylvania" !!!!!!

Mr.. John B. Hall is requested, if he
has anything detrimental to our private char
acter in his possession, to at once ease himself
by giving it to the public We have been in
this city over six years, and it is time, if
our intimate association with many of the best
citizens of this place has not already made
them fully acquainted with us and with our
character, that the proper information should
be placed in their hands, to enable them to
form correct opinion. Mr.. Hall, in permit
ting his name to be connected with the nomi-
nation for respectable office, invites scrutiny
as to his private character and abilities. Ifhe
fears this scrutiny, he had much better at once
decline stepping farther into public life and
public notoriety than he now is. Most as
suredly if he is a candidate for any public Of
fee, we shall not let honest men vote for him
with blinded eyes; and yet, not one word shall
we utter about him, not true If he fear tie
truth, he had better take some other plan to
avoid it than by threatening US, for we do not
fear the truth, and Ges uttered about us, will
certainly have much less force from Mr.. Hall,
than from any respectable source, or than from
any other source under Heaven. &

The Present Congress.

The Philadelphia Ledger, in speaking ofthe
present Congress, says: 1t is probably destined
to fill long space in history. 1t will certainly
have before it some ofthe most agitating ques-
tons which have ever disturbed a people. 1t
may even be called on to elect a President
Under such circumstances, it is to be hoped
that the numbers will be guided, first Of all, by
sincere desire to what is right; next by a
spirit of enlarged charity towards those who
differ from them and, finally by determine
ton, come what will, to stand shoulder to
shoulder in defence of that, without which
everything else will become Comparatively val
ueless we mean the union of these States, that
union which Washington blessed-whichs.se v-
enty years have sanctifed, and on which all
rational hopes Of the worlds deliverance de-
pendl
If there is any one thing in which, more
than others, the statesmen of re and '87 ex-
celled those Of the present day, it was in a
large-minded comprehensiveness which took
in all sides of a question. If there is any one
thing, more than others, in which the states
men OF the nOur eXnlOCeu Cnelr Weakness, III
is in their tendency to regard all issues from
one point Of view only, and to ignore every
other. It is to this defect, which exists, we
are sorrow to say, in the public mind also, that
the agitations which convulse this country,
and the absurd legislation which is so often its
shame, owe their rise and development 1t is
becoming too much the practice, both with the
press and people, to reason about political and
social affairs, than which nothing is more COM
pick, as we would reason about simple syllo-
gism, or problem in Euclid.
If the new Congress has this prevailing
fault, the agitating questions which will come
up before it viii he met in narrow, proscrip-
tive. sectional spirit; and long, long will it be
before the nation will recover from its conse-
quenses. IT, on the contrary, Congress emu
lates the men of re and '87, ifa spirit of con.
cesion and and fraternal feeling prevails, its is
sues, which now loom up so threatingly, will
be laid, and concord permanently restored tc
the republic.

SAD Acc1DENT-Officers of the Stephen Bay
ard informed us to-day that at about dusk last
evening, three young ladies', Misses Knight,
HUBBARD and Hissom were drowned in the Ohio
at Sistersvile, by the swapping Of a skiff in
the swell of the steamer Hornet. The ladies
were in the skiff by themselves, crossing from
the Ohio side, where they resided, for the pur-
pose of attending church in SistersvilIe, and
becoming frightened, so msmanaged the skiff
that it was completely filed by one of the
heavy waves They cried for succor and chung
to the boat, but before aid from Sistersville
could reach them, all were senseless. When
the Bayard passed last evening hope was en-
tertained that one Of them might be resuscita-
ted Wheeling argus, 18th.

Our Coal Mines.

Wemades brief alIusion last week to the
final success of the Henderson Coal Com
pany'' in finding a valuable vein of coal, one
mile above the city, where they have been for
several months engaged in sinking shaft
We now have the pleasure of stating to the
world, that, upon more critical examination,
the newly discovered vein turns out to be of
very superior qualify, and that Henderson
can boast an inexhaustible supply of as good
coal as any city of the Mississippi valley. We
are not even satisfied that we need make any
favorable exception to the quality of Pitts
burgh coal over our own, for the majority OF
purposes for which coal is the most desirable
or necessary fuel The tests that have been
already made with our coal, proves that it will
answer for all mechanical purposes, equal to
any, known to our Smiths or Foundrymen.-
For steam purposes it cannot be excelled,
while we are assured by experienced miners
as we'll as its own appearance, that it will also
prove superior article of commercial coal.
The company are entitled to great credit
for the energy enterprise and capital it has
devoted to this experimental search, which
was commenced only a few months since
wholly upon faith, with a certainty before them
of an immense expenditure of money, and the
chance offs success or failure about equal.
| The vast advantages that will accrue to this
city and county, consequent upon the enter
iprizing spirit ola few gentlemen who have
penetrated the DO wells ofthe earth at their own
expense for this invaluable treasure are beyond
calculation, and can only be appreciated by
contrasting the present condition of our city
with those which have been earlier blessed
with more such men. Aleady have foreign
capitalists been attracted to this point, and II
view of mineral resources of this region, soor
to be developed, have commenced the founda
ton of an extensive Foundry and Machine
shop. This is but the pioneer ofmany manufac-
turing establishments of different kinds, that
may be soon anticipated here.
The company has a chartered capital o
100000, and will offer the most liberal facili
ties in their power for the encouragement o
manufacturing and mechanical skill in the
midst -
The machinery of the mines is at presen
undergoing some slight repairs, and in few
days will be lifting several thousand bushels o
coal per day. Henderson Patriot.

vrharf-bOsts sunk--.Loss Of Life.

We gave an account yesterday of the sink

We learn though note from the Clerks of the

at Elizabethtown, owned by Mr.. Frank Twich,

relief of the sufferers in their yawl There
was about S3,0O0or $4,000 worth of produce
awaiting shipment on the wharf boat, all Of
which was lost
The wharf boat at Ford's Ferry, was also
sunk Saturday night.
The wharf boat at Henderson lies very much
careened, the upper side dry, the lower in the
water. The principal part of the produce on
board has been taken out, the corn in dam
aged condition.
The wharf boat Atlantic sunk at New Mad
