SINGULAR REsUscITATEoN IN RocKFoRD.-
The Register gives the particulars ola singu-
lar case of resuscitation after supposed death
in this city:
A child had to all appearances died, and was
laid out m IT'S little winding sheet upon a
board IN an upper room, while the other pre-
partitions were going forward for the funeral
The sexton was notified and the grave also
dug Some time after, the father went into
the room where the child was, and was aston
ished at its calling him by name, ard COM
planning that it did not lie g6ei. OF course
the little sufferer was supplied with better
bed at once. 1t had evidently fallen iato a
trance, from which it was awakened by a hard
bed and cold air.

AsPIRANTs FOR THE PREsTDENcY-The
Washington correspondent of the n. Y. Cour-
Ter and Enquirer, under date Of Feb 81, CON
tains the following:
Judge Douglas, It appears, declines to waive
his prctensions to the Presidency; he WILL on
the contrary, urge his claims with greater per-
tinacity than hedid in 1852. He is yet young
but his claims are old and may become decrep-
it before he himself begins to feel the advance
Of years.
The contest between Pierce, Douglas and
Buchanan will divide the northern Denocfa-
cy almost equally, but Douglas will be strong
est in the South. The President has the con-
troll of so much money and so many Offices
however, think he will lead the trio. Pierce'S
chances of a nomination, it appears to me, are
exceedingly promising.

A Bloody ARRAY.

A bloody ARRAY occurred few days since
between two citizens of Bath county. Frank
Fielder and f. NJ. Tackett, at the house of the
former. 1t appears that an adultTrous intima-
cy has existed for some time past between the
wife of Fielder and Tackett, and that one day
last week the former accidentally came horne
a little sooner than was expected from short
absence, and actually discovered the parties in
an illicit intercourse in a room III his house.
After some words between them, Tackett
drew knife and made fiendish assault upon
fhe. alreadyinjured husband, stabbing him in
various places, and otherwise beating ard NAL
treating him in a manner that renders it doubt
full that he will recover
Tackett has been held over fer further trial
as we learn. -

has died from the effects of his wounds

Frnn, HsaM;r Ion

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Times in recent letter says:
Bills for the improvement of Rivers ana
Harbors, especially in the West and Northwest
continue to be presented. Mr. Colfax, of a.
yesterday afternoon introduced bill to i'm
prove the harbor and construct breakwater
at Michigan City, the only lake part of Indiana
Not less than $4,000 has been expended at
this point already, and as for producing any
material good the money might as well have
been dropped into Lake Erie, for nature never
intended harbor at Michigan City, and man
can never construct there safe and commodi-
Gus refuge for shipping.
True, a species of haven may be created for
vessels in stress of weather, but old shippers
on the lake declare that the farther they are
from Michigan City in gale OF storm, the
safer they feel. If Mr.. Colfax can get an appro-
priaton, very we'll, he certainly deserves credit
! for undertaking such hopeless task although
he will be backed up no doubt, by the entire
delegation from7his State. 1t would be more
popular and more just tie ask for nopey<tc en-
large the Louisville canal, work in which
Southern Indiana feels warm interest, and
which the whole Ohio valley absolutely re-
ldrires. -,
An appropriati6n was also asked by an Hi
Custom House at Galena, and to improve the
channel Of Galena river; ALSO for widening and
deepening several harbors on the Northern
lakes. Lake Superior does actually need ap-
preparations for harbors, piers, breakwaterS
and lighthouses. This great inland sea is de-
liciont, owing to the primitive nature of its
settlements in tfcse indispensable requisites
to safe navigation, and deserves attention at
the hands ofgovernment.
The same correspondent gives the following;
A clause in the Deficiency Bilp' for 1856,
appropriates $15o,oO0t to the support of Marine
Hospitals, with.a proyiso that they may be
leased by the year to responsible persons
There is something strange about this. :Ger-
ernment surely cannot intend placing its hos
pitfalls in the care of Spectators, to make
money off the sick and dying! l hope this
proviso will be striker out; forit opens the door
to great abuses.

Nomination of Mr.. Fillmore.

Tho Buffalo Courier and Advertiser re-
marks that the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore
causes an immense huttering among the Black
Republicans. Their newspapers seem hardly
capable of thinking or talking ofanything else,
and are filled with the most violent assaults
on his political character. Thiswas, OF course
to be expected, and they are welcome to howl
and gnash their teeth as long as it attords them
any relief They are certain that he cannot
DO elected-that he has not shadow of a
chance-that he cannot carry single North
ern State against the Black Republicans, nor a
single Southern State against the Nebraska
Demecrdts-that his nom nation has exploded
and annihllatei the American party-and they
repeat these assertions as industricusly as if
they were trying to convince themselves of
their truth, If they are so entirely certain
that this nomination amounts to nothing, why
do they make such terrible fuss about it?-
Why getso furious in beating the air? Why
expend so much ammunition in shooting at
shadows--nay, not at shadows, for trey say
Mr. Fillmore has not even shadow Of a
chante-bdt at vacuum? If the American
nominations no obstacle to the success of any
other paEty-if as they pretend, it is the knelI
of Know Nothingism, why not reserve their
strength to fight a real adversary? Why all
these contortions and jactations, why all this
rearing and pitching, when nothing has &C.
Cured which ought to disturb their equanimi-
ty? These people have a singular way ofdc-
monstrating that they consider the American
nominations Of no political Importance.

Tha Right Kind of Talk.
The baltimore Patriot saYs:

ain placing Mr.. Fillmore beforcr the people,
simply upon his own merits, the American
Nominating Convention has ACTED wisely.
There is nothing in his past life but what is
honorable and prsiseworthy No stain rests
upon his private character, no just reproach
upon his public acts. He is emphatically a
public man, and is eminently deserving of the
destination in which he is held"
From the New Orleans Crescent, of Feb 10,
We clip!
Every nov and then, and more and more
frequently as the season progresses, we see the
name of Willard Fillmore mentioned in con-
nection with the next Presidency. Should he
be nominated, he will receive our cordial, ear;
nest and devoted support. A purer states
man walks not the surface OF the earth. A
hobler gentleman was never formed. 4 truer
patriot never breathed the air of the land Of
freedom. He has been tried in the exacting
furnace ofex perience, and has not been found
wanting. The harder the test the finer the
gold of his being. He has been weighed in
the scales of public life, when troublous times
were upon the country-when Henry Clay
fought his last great earthly fight. His con-
duct wea the decided commentator and en-
dorsemenFo Of that grand old patriot.
Coolly he stood at the helm of the ship Of
State although the clouds frewned darkly and
the pillows heaved madly, with his eyes fixed
steadily on the chart of the Constitution, he
guided her into haven of safety. His course
throughout the Administration was marked
by all the attributes of capacity integrity and
fidelity; and though he may have erred there
| is hardly man in the Union, outside the
ranks of Abolitionisn. who does not accord
HIN the best intentions ard the most patriotic
and honest motives. He was a national Presi
dent in the most exalted sense of the term
and the sooner we get another like him, the
better for the country"
