were relieved by some citizens who Of

In concluding 1 must state that the
number of foreigners killed in the con-
fiict amounts to thirteen, and that of
wounded to fifteen, one of the latter
having died afterWard. Two of the na-
tives were killed and several wounded.
I have notified to the Alcaide Of city
to make a regular and summary exaDi-

that we might discover the authors of
such atrocious crimes, concealed to-day
in the darkness of so great a confusion,
that the weight of the law may fall on

1854, and from a paper I received of yours was IT,
duced to buy a box of your Pills as
a sovereign cure for the Epileptic Fits. At that
time one of my servants had been afii cted with fits
abouttwelve years. When reaching home, I com.

do not think she has had one since. NY wife.
though, Is somewhat induced to believe she may
have had one only. Enclosed you will find five
dollars, for which you will please forward me two
boxes. 1 suppose you can forward them by mail
Your compliance will oblige me. Yours respect

Great Democratic Victory in
PHILADELPHIA

The Pennsylvania mounts its cannon,
and shouts with contagious joy over the
complete triumph of the Democracy at
the charter election just held IA that city.
The whole Democratic ticket is elected
hysplsnaia-m aiorities~Th The Peunsyf-
vanian speaks of the result in the follow
ing exultant terms
1--WE have made a clean sweep of the
city-Mayor, Solicitor, Controller, Re-
ceiver of taxes and City Commissioner
and the "birth place of Know Moth
ingism has become its grave" The
country owes this victory to che Demo
cratic party !; but it is due to the con-
sentative Wings to say that they acted
in perfect harmony with the Democracy,
for they both now stand, TO all intents
and purposes, upon the same political
platform. We extend to them the right
hand of fellowship for their noble bear
ing on yesterday. All who have con-
tributed to this unparalleled success
observe well of their country"
Vaux's majority for Mayor is put
down at 1850.
Democrats, Is; Kn;w Notbings g.
Democratic majority 6.
The Select Council of 1855, stood 9
Democrats and Is Know Nothings.
Common Council stands 20 Democrats
to Is Know Nothings.
Democratic majority SIS.
The Pennsylvania thus winds up its
reflection upon this glorious event:
Who in this land of liberty would
have supposed, before thu fact appeared,
that a miserable organization like that
of the Secret Order, could have Goni,
mated an intelligent population like that
which Philadelphia contains? But such
is the fact. The world, in many of its
erochs, has exhibited such examples, and
they have, in every instance, tended to
purify the political atmosphere. How
ever depressing they may be for the mo-
ment, they improve public opinion, and
direct it to more just appreciation of
right and justice. We have borne our
temporary ills with becoming fortitude,
and Providence has at length rewarded
our manhood. Let US all now rejoice in
a higher wisdom than man possesses, and
never doubt the ultimate triumph of
justice and equality.

ASHLAND, May 10th, 1856.


The Executive Committee of the Ash
land County Bible Society met and was
opened by prayer-Mr. A. HUFFMAN
in the Chair. A committee, consisting
of Messrs. ROBINSON, WHrTEMAN, CUL-
LER and CARMAN, was appointed to re-
port resolutions expressive Of the feel
ipgs of the Executive Committee in view
of the death of Rev. S. MOODY, Cores
ponding Secretary ofthis Society. The
Committee reported the following paper,
which was unanimously adopted, viz:
WHEREAS, it has pleased the Head of
the Church, by a sudden and solemn
providence, to remove from this life
Rev. S. Mccoy who has been Cores
ponding Secretary of this Society since
its organization, therefore, ResolUed,
LIST. That Rev. s. MOODY, by his
promptitude and exactness in transact
ing busicess, has always enjoyed our ut
most confdence-by his steady interest
in every good work, has secured our high
est estecm-and by his amenity and char
ity has won our affection.
I'd. That while we bow to the prov
idence of God, we deeply sympathize
with his friends in their bereavement
his flock in the loss of a beloved Pastor
the church at large in the removal of
an able member, and this society in the
loss of a faithful officer.
Sd. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the friends of the deceased,
and to the officers of the American Bible
Society, and that the Editors of u
County papers be requested to publish
them.

The Rush for Land in lowe.

We have had many accounts, (says
the st. Louis Republican, of the extra
ordinary rush for land In Iowa during
the last year or two, but it seems that
all of them have left an inadequate i'm
preston upon our minds as to the extent
that entries have been made. We have
before VI a letter, written by a gentle
man connected with the Surveyor Gen
erals office in Iowa, in reply to a gen.
tIeman in this city, who had requested
the former to secure a tract of land of a
given character, from which we copy the
following extract, believing it to contain
information that will be of service to the
public:
"There has not been stch d tract of
land as your letter calls for, in the State
of Iowa for the last three years, which
was not claimed or preemptedj if sur
veyed; and there is not now in the Dubu
que Land District, which extends west
of Dubuque ia miles, any tract of land
vacant that has three acres of timber on
it; and the same thing may be said OF
the DEBORAH and Fort Dodge Districts.
Strange as this may seem, it is true to
the letter, L assure you. (The lane de-
sired.wa part timber, part prairie, with
a living spring or stream on it,
[ assure yJu that of the little land
that remains in this district, there is not
a five acre tract that has not been gone
over by spectators or their agents, con-
| n -, H. l.k al -4.r
refuse, and this would all be taken up,
but the Land Office las peer closed cv-
er since the Receiver was removed. The
present Register assures me that the of
fee at Dubuque will be closed in foul
weeks after it is opened, sufficient appli
cations having been made to reduce the
quantity to the amount the law requires
shall close it.
{" regret exceedingly that 1 cannot
comply with your request, but to tell yot
the truth, 1 could not help laughing a
your ideas of our country. Why, they
are full ten years behind the time, ano
for less valuable lands than you have de
scribed, away up in Minnesota they bav'
used the pistol and bowie-knife freely
At Brownsville and Winona it is ALLEGED
that several men were killed and II
some instances claims were run up tt
twenty dollars per acre, when Offered
for sale by the Register.
"Now if your friend can be satisfied
with such prairie land as is for sale a
this Office when it again opens, l will Sc
lect the best of it with the greatest pleas
ure, but no timber will be nearer tina
ten miles, sure, and water may be hat
by digging ten or ifteet feet, and this !
the best that can be done here. Ii
however, 1 was going to enter land TO
Speculation, I would look for it in Min
~Eesota; but the great trouble is that mos
of the Minnesota lands are not in market
and the emigration is so great that be
fore they are bought in the best may b.
claimed"

Masonic Burial at Sea.

The New Orleans Picay1elac gives
the following ~toue8ing description of
the burial at sea of Mr.. Jos. WATER
MAN, who died on the Empire City-
The san was about sinking beneath
the wave when the body was placed in
charge of such of the Fraternity as ver6
on board, to be buried by them with
the last sad rites peculiar 10 the insti-.
tuition.
The remains, which had been cover
ed by the United States flag, were laid
upon a plank at the stern of the steam
er, and as the ships bell began to toll
the intervals, the brethren formed a
circle arou nd the corpse, when the Ma.
sonic burial service vas beautifully de-
livered by Past Master J.. e. Elliott.
of New York, who presiqed as Master
upon this occasion. The ceremony
beautifully impressive at all times, was
remarkably SO upon this occasion; and
when the Worshipful Brother pronounc-
ed the words, eve, therefore, commit
the body of our departed brother to the
great deep; his memory shall remain en-
craven upon the tablets of u hearts.
while his spirit shall return unto God
who gave it." a single plunge was heard,
and the dece ased had gone to his last
long home, accompanied by the fond
words of "Alas, my brother!" from those
the Fraternity who formed the broken
'hain upon the quarterback of the
steamer.
