How it is Received.

The nomination of Willard Fillmore ap-
pears to be well received among the old hun
ker remnants of the late wing party. We see
by the papers numerous accounts of the fir
ing of guns by old line whigs," in various
parts of the country-.New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, &c. Of course he will be ac-
ceptable to those who were so bosstful of their
" straight whiggery" that they threatened to
go over to Frank Pierce, unless some such
move as this wag made The Boston Courier,
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, and papers of
that class which supported all the pro slavery
features of President Fillmore's administra-
ton, manifest the greatest pleasure at his
present nomination, and will support it.
The American State Council of New York,
(silver greys) have had meeting, and resolv-
ed that that they hail with the liveliest sat
isfaction the nomination of Willard Fillmore
and recommend his election in the strongest
terms. They are fit endorsers of such NOM
ination.

The Cry WATER.-- Great complaint is
made by our citizens, of the filthy character
of the water drawl from the city aqueduct,
and as we think with good cause. Among the
impurities which are now drank daily by those
who use the city's water, may be mentioned
the chemical refuse of Adams Dye Houses,
the contents of the privies upon Mill Brook
from Sasbury's Pond to Merrifed's build
ings, and immense quantities ofsulphuric acid
which are daily poured into the stream from
the large manufacturing establishments, stu.
ated upon the banks. 70 this cause may be
attributed much of the sickness that exists in
our city at the present time, and the evil is
ono which the city authorities should be
prompt To remedy.

A correspondent of the Spy, over the signature
Of E.. takes some members of the School Com
mttee to task, and especially the Prudential
Committee, for alledged injuries done to the
health of the scholars by some alterations in the
mode of warming the rooms in the several School
Houses in this city To read the mournful dia-
tribe of E., one wond suppose that the schools
had become perfect charnel houses of disease and
death, and that the Prudential Committee had
entered into league with the City Sections to
make some money, by having the juvenile portion
of our population killed off, by sort of suffocat-
ing process like that at the " Black hole of Cal
cutta."
do not know, Mr.. Editor, how many cubic
inches of air child OF an adult breathes in a
minute, neither is it of much consequence but
this l do know, that many of the school rooms
were far from comfortable, by reason of the mad
equacy of the means employed for warming them,
and that such common sense arrangements have
been made to remedy the difficulty as will com.
mend themselves to any intelligent parent who
will take the trouble to examine them.
Pure air is good thing, and the children of
our public schools should not be deprived of it,
keep the children shivering in their seats through
school hours, is not desirable either on the score
Of comfort or economy. A ventilating stove may
be good thing, but if the ventilator only con-
meets with the de9d air between the floor ioists.
it is hard to see how health could be injured by
its removal and it is harder still to see how ven
tilating stove in the second story of school
house can subseryc any useful purpose in the pro-
motion of health and longevity, il the air which
feeds it, is derived from a school room below,
where it has already been used by room full of
children. think the public will agree with me,
that such arrangements these to secure venti-
lation in our school houses ought to be abolished
and that neither E. or his children have any lust
cause of complaint that such absurd contrivances,
to make people believe they are having pure air,
when they are not having it, but only the SEM
blance Of it, should be got rid of.

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-W learn from tie
Providence Transcript that as the four o clock
passenger train from that city, Monday, for
Boston, was nearing Corliss Nighdngale's,
a rail was broken by the engine, in passing
over it, which threw four cars off the
the track. Although the train was under
considerable Roadway, and passed some TWEEN.
ty rods or more with the cars off, it was stop.
pei with but trifing damage. The passen.
gers, after being detained about an hour, were
taken to Boston in an extra train. The cause
of the breakage of the rail is attributed to the
frost.

In his opinion, there was a secret sympathy
between them. He defended the President
from charges of a weak and vacillating course
relative to Kanzas.

The CINCINNATI SLAVE CAsE.-We learn
from the Cincinnati Gazette that it being ex-
pected that Commissioner Penderey would
give his decision on the fugitive slave case on
Thursday last,a large crowd assembled to hear
the decision. Sheriff Brashears, however, re-
fused to deliver the adults into the custody of
the United States Marshal, and he returned
from the jail without them. After consulta-
ton between the Commissioner and the Mar
shall in regard to The children, it was decided
not to bring in the children, and the Court
adjourned till Tuesday morning, when the de-
cision of the Commissioner was expected
The Gazette says;-
"a habeas corpus from Judge Burgoyne of
the Probate Court, for Peggy's children, was
then served on the United States Marshal, and
he gave his word as a gentleman that they
should be brought before Judge Burgoyne be-
fore being returned to the master, and on this
assurance nothing further was done. 1t is
generally understood that the decision of the
Commissioner will be against the fugitives,
and that unless prevented by the habeas cor
pus now pending before Judge Burgoyne, that
Simon and Peggy's three children will be TAX
en- from them and sent back to slavery.
An amendment to the law providing for the
issue of the writ of habeas corpus is now
pending before the Ohio Legislature. 1t pro-
vides that the writ shall in all cases issue to
the Sheriff of the County. Under the pre-
sent law it issues in the United States to the
U. S. Marshal. Should this amendment pass
before next Tuesday. habeas corpus for the
children will no doubt be directed TO the Sher-
| if, and there is no question but he will obey
| it.
Yesterday afternoon, two writs of hsbess
corpus were issued by Judge Leavitt of the
United States Court, at the instance of the
| United States Marshal, one for the adults, and
one for the children. These writs are return
| able on Saturday.
warrant was also issued by Commissioner
Pendery for the apprehension of Thos Mar
shal (son of the claimant of the negro mani
for perjury"
The conduct of the authorities of Cincin-
natl in this affair is in striking contrast with
the weak, shutting, servile conduct of the
city authorities of Boston, during the slave
hunts thai have come off in that city.

Noticing, in the Spy of the 25th instant, an ar
ticle relative to the narrow escape of a horse,
sleigh, passengers, &C., upon the Nashua Rail-
road, in which conductor Brooks was highly Gu
logized, take the liberty, being an ear and eye
witness, of giving, through your columns the ex.
act particulars thereof. The horse and sleigh
were seen first not by conductor Brooks, but by
that ever careful and highly esteemed engineer,
VIM. Cheney, who Immediately gave the alarm,
and through the assistance of the efficient brake
men, soon succeeded in slackening the speed of
the train, so that it could be stopped at a mo-
ment's warning. Engineer Cheney proceeded
cautiously, following the afrighted dobbin,"
who continued running upon the track for about
three miles. When near a crossing in West
Boylston, man succeeded in stopping and took
him to safe quarters waiting to be called for by
its owner, who | understand called the same day
and It deemed him, most happily surprised to find
his property after such wonderful trip had not
sustained the least injury.
Yours, JUSTICE.

The Petersburg, Va, Express says that some
sportsmen, in their excursions in that neigh
borhood have found many bears starved and
frozen to death.
The natural history books used to say, that
the bears lived in the winter upon the fat ac-
they extracted by sucking their paws; but,
as the bears have died, we suppose that they
had not time to get their paws into their
mouths before they were frozen up.

The action of air upon the blood in human
lungs changes it from dark venous blood to a
more lively arterial fluid, giving it vitality and
nutrition. This is why it is more exhausting
to lose blood from an artery than from a vein.
Arnolds Globules and Vital Fluid give the
elements Of cir to the blood, vitalizing it bv
this chemical action, freeing it from impur1-
ties and human poisons, and impartirg at the
same time nutrition and strength. These i'm
portnnt results are obtained by plain and sim
pie chemical action

course to adopt in regard to the nominating

forms voted for the admission of the Catholic
delegates from Louisiana, When it is recol-
lected that Mr.. 2. X. Pangborn is one of those
delegates so acting, the cut Of the Transcript
may be considered decided home thrust.

The Journal probably hopes to see move

get about as many votes in Massachusetts, as
were given for Daniel Webster after that dis
tinguished statesman was laid in his grave.
