Raising the Wind.

1t has been stated recently, in several of the
Opposition papers, that the administration in
tended levying a tax upon its Office holders,
for the purpose of raising the wind" to car
ry forward the Elections this Fall; but the
charge was Indignantly denied. We have,
however, confirmation Of the fact in the Gov
eminent organ, and a pretty significant hint
that a refusal to respond will be deemed a
sufficient cause for dismissal from Office. The
Washington Union, a few days since, in allud-
ing to this matter, used the following Ian
guage:
If there is a person in the public service
who does not voluntarily contribute the amount
at least Of two dollars and a half a year on
each thousand dollars of his salary to support
the cause of the democracy, he should be dis
missed at once and his place filled with one
who is patriotic and liberal enough to double
the contribution. We believe the cause to
justify its support, and those who refuse to aid
in that patriotic work should be the last to
complain if they are deprived of the special ia
vors Of those in power"
We suppose, as Mr.. Huyler's case is some
what desperate, the amount of the tax will be
increased beyond the above figures in this Dis
trict. The ofice-holders INJUSTICE the mark
aud shell out" liherally.-Mercurg.

Congressional Convention.

The Opposition Congressional Convention
for this District, will meet in Freehold, on
Wednesday next, the 8th inst. Upon the de-
liberations of that Convention, will, in a great
degree, depend the success of our candidate.
How important, then, that the Delegates
act a wise and prudent part. Let it be re-
membered that the nomination either belongs
to Ocean or Monmouth, and that We shall
insist upon our just rights. Monmouth cheer
fully done all she could for the nominees of
Burlington and Mercer, and so did Ocean, and
we ask them now to do justice by US.
In order that our friends may know how
many Delegates each township is entitled to,
in Monmouth and Ocean, if the same rules
prevail, as in the last Convention-one vote
for each one thousand inhabitants, or moiety
over five hundred. The basis of the follow
ing calculation is the census of 1855.

The SLAYER.

The Charleston Courier, Of August 18th,
says: There reached our Quarantine yester-
day afternoon a brig called the Echo, having
On board three hundred and six Africans
She was captured on the 2lst inst, about I
2 $50, longitude 1920, by the United States
brig Dolphin, Lieut.. j N. Mafit commanding.
The suspicious of the officers of the Dolphin
were aroused by the brig hauling suddenly off
from the coast of Cuba, when chase was i'm
mediately made after her. On nearing the
brig, which the Dolphin did rapidly, two blank
cartridges were fred ut her, when she heisted
the American ensign-t the Dolphin being at
that moment under British colors. Two shots
were then fired ahead, to make her heave too;
but she continuing on her course, the Dolphin
hoisted American colors, and fred a shot ,at
her, when she was promptly brought5to. Lieut..
Bradford, OF the Dolphin, then boarded her
with sixteen men, aad found on her a crew of
nineteen, composed Of English, Americans and
Spanish, and a cargo of three hundred and
eithteen Africans, twelve of whom have died
since the capture. The Dolphin took on board
a part Of the original crew of the brig, and
took them to Key West, from which port they
will be sent by steamer to this CITY.
The negroes so far as they could be seen.
are about fifteen years of age and good Look
ing. They aye suffering from dysentery. It'll
is supposed that the present name of the brig
only an assumed one. iSha is Of Baltimore
model and a fine vessel. The prize erew CON

Carpenter, ten seamen and six marines.

PHILADELPHIA PoL1rIcs.-The Pennsylvania
Inquirer, a very moderate and discreet paper,
says, in an article on the present position Of
politics and parties in that city, that there is
hope for a complete triumph of the opposition
"A good ticket for City, State, and Congress
is all that is required now that complete confu.
sion overwhelms the broken up and despairing
Democracy, as they choose falsely to call
themselves. The policy of Mr.. Buchanan's
Administration has done its work here, as it
has elsewhere, most effectually for the termina-
tiqn of that tyranny which has outraged the
feelings Of the thinking portion Of the ancient,
but now perishing party, whose only chance
for redemption is in getting back upon the
platform of the Jeffersonia epoch. Let good
men all unite on a good ticket, and there will
be a triumph for the People, such as they
have not enjoyed for a long period"

The Military at Colts Neck.

| aPursuant to General Order No. l., "The
various officers composing the Monmouth Bri-
gade," assembled at the appointed place on
Saturday last.
The weather being very stormy and ~unfayor-
able to drill upon the field, it was decided after
a consultation to adjonrn to the.School House
in order to receive instruction in the different
movements Of the drills. The officers and sew
eral privates headed by the music, marched to
the School House, where they were entertained
by a very interesting and highly instructive
lecture from Brig. Gen. Wat6eld Of the Hud-
sen Brigade. A vote Of thanks was given to
the General for his able and lucid explanations
of the manner of forming and conducting many
of the army movements. A vote of thanks
was also rendered to the Trustees of the School
for the use of the building, and a resolution
unanimously passed to call another drill within
three weeks, at SOM place to be designated.
The company then adjourned to Laird's Hotel,
where they p%artook Of dinner. Much enthu-
siasm was manifested among all assembled, and
a right military spirit was prevalent among
the members of the Brigade, which argues it
we'll trained and successful in the future.

s@-The tone of those Democratic organs in
the South, whose views and wishes constitute
the rule of action for our present pro-slayery
Administration, is decidedly in favor of keep
ing Kansas out of the Union until she shall
have doubled her present population. They
contend that by the bred Scott decision, she
is now a Slave Territory, and they demand
that the Administration shall keep her in that
condition to the very last pinch. Of course,
Mr.. Buchanan will obey this rescript, and his
dough-face followers in the North will reyer-
entity follow in his footsteps. Such is the stuff
I1oder1f Denaocraey is made of.

Cure FOR YELLOW FEvER.-A lady called
at our Office one day last week, and informed
us that her father, John Ware, ship carpenter,
living in the city Of Philadelphia, some years
since, took the yellow fever, and (after having
been given up by physicians. and the "black
yomit" had set in, was cured by taking a
strong decoction Of black alder tea. This is
important, and as the yellow fever has made
its appearance in New York and Philadelphia,
it will be well to make a note of it. Let the
patient drink freely of the tea, or as much as
the stomach will take.-Mount Holly Mtrror.

A party Of engineers have been making ex-
periments on the Mississippi opposite Column
bus, KY, for the past six months, and having
nearly concluded them at that point, are about
70 make similar ones opposite Cape Giardeau.
A letter dated the 4th instant, addressed to
the Cairo Gazette, says:-The amount Of sed-
iment carried down the Mississippi is daily as
c~ertained by the following method: -Four
beer quarts Of water are taken from four points
in the river, the water is filtered through fl
tering papers which have been previously
weighed, and the difference in weight gives
the amount of deposit From the amount
Of sediment collected from a beer gallon of
water thus obtSsned, it is easy to calculate the
amount which passes down the river in a day
Captain PhilIibrown says that the sediment
which passes Columbus in one day would be
sufficient e. form a dam across the river, pro-
vided the Water could romainmotionless. The
last food deposited from eight to fourteen
inches Of sediment on the Missouri side, which
will in some degree compensate for the great
losses which the farmers of the river counties
have sustained.

aa~Some time ago, q mar named Brown,
made his appearances in Lagrange, Missouri,
and after making unsuccessful efforts to obtain
employment, he resolved to commit suicide.
Obtaining q pistol, he placed the muzzle to hs
head and discharged the contents into his
brain. Upon examination by a surgeon, it
was ascertained that the ball passed through
the skull between the eyes, and lodged in the
back of the head. Part of the brain was
scattered over the front of his hat. But not
withstanding the loss Of a portion of the brain
and the perforation Of the skull by the bullet,
Mr.. Brown is in a rapid way towards recovery.

The Martins.

1t is with much interest that we watch the
movements of our little friends, the Martins
And yet to watch them, we must be cup and
doing early.' Year after year we find them
returning to their old haunts, but without any
fore-warning fuss. @s when their never deceiv-
ing instinct moves them to proceed to their
summer quarters, we find them here. The day
preceding their arrival, there is not a sign or
sound of them. At the earliest dawn of the
next day, they are all fitting and chipping
reioicingIy about their little houses. Those
who observe the signs of the times, pretend to
Judge Of seasons and weather by the actions of
these pleasant summer companions. Their de-
parture for-who knows where, is anxiously
noted by those who have faith in their instincts.
If it is early, they prognosticate an early Fall,
and deprecats unreasonable frosts. If it is
postponed later, their hearts gladden. in the
thought that there will be sufficient time before
the approach Of cold for the crops to mature
and ripen without moving. We cannot fail
to note, that Immediately upon the heels of
their departure this year, we have experienced
in some parts Of the county very severe frosts.
We learned a few days since that in many
places in Howell township, the Buckwheat
crops were. entirely destroyed by frosts, and
that the farmers were ploughing them under,
purposing to SOW other grain upon the ground.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that there may be
no blight upon any of our crops this year. |
We have just passed (more or less success
fully through a hard year. Many, who by
the most strenuous exertions have been able tol
survive the fearful and wide spread crash that
has overwhelmed their neighDors, are scarcely
able, by any means, to withstand another such
CONFUSION, or even a moderate reverse in for
tuue. Many of our farmers are relying upon
the products of this year to make up for the
deficiencies of last. They have induced their
friends and creditors 90 give them time, until
this years crop shall be forthcoming. If these
fail, they must fall. Little. gentle, martins,
without wishing to impeach either yonr vera
city or good judgment for this once, e trust
that you are false prophets When you come
next Jelr, make preparations to remain longerl
with us, and do not Brighten our wise heads
with your premature departure, or bring these
blighting frosts upon US merely to crafty your
whims in taking SO early a start.

SINGULAR CoNDUcr OF A DEER.-Anthony
N~iederweiser, proprietor of the Washington
Garden, corner of Third and Elm streets, is
owner Of two pet deers. Night before last he
retired to bed, having taken his money-drawer
and placed it on a sofa, covering it with a
handkerchief, and left the door Of the room
open, guarded by a couple Of chairs. While
Mr.. n. was asleep, one of the pet deers ascen-
ded the stairs, jumped over the chairs, went to
the sofa, pulled the handkerchief from off the
money drawer, and actually ate up $47 in bills.
When the owner awoke he had a 50 bill in
his mouth, which bill was rescued from the
fate of SAT. A quantity Of silver in the draw
was left untouched, the deer probably know
ing that it was indigestible, or perhaps think
ing it to be counterfeit coin that might not
pass.-St Lswis Republican.
