by Sir Boyle Roach, a memberof the Irish
Parliament, lin the troubled times of

the hearts of many gallant sons of Mars,
as well as the worthy writer himself The
letter was addressed to o friend in Lon.

nine ten.hs of our readers.
My DEAR FRIEND-Having now q little
peace and quietness, sit down to inform
you of the dreadful hustle we are all in
from these blood thirsty rebels, most OF
whom are thank God, killed and disper-

whiskey; and when we sit down to

DISCHARGE OF GEN. WALKER.-The Wash
ington Union of the 30th, announces Walkers
arrival and discharge as follows 1--WE learn
that Captain Rynders, the United States Mar
shal for the Southern District of the State of
New York, arrived in this city last evening,
accompanied by Gen. William Walker, the
leader of the Nicaraguan expedition. In the
course of the evening the Marshal called upon
the Secretary of State at the State Depart
ment having General Walker in his custody,
and informed him that he had received COM
municaton from Commodore Paulding an
nouncing the arrest of Gen. Walker for cal :
rying unlawful military expedition a
gainst Nicaragua. and that the latter had
promised, upon his honor, to surrender him
self to Captain Rynders, Marshal of the
Southern District of New York, upon his ar
rival in that city. General Walker had done
so, and Captain Rynders had accompanied him
to Washington 10 ascertain the views of the
Government. The Secretary of State replied
that the Executive Department Of the Govern
ment did not recognize General Walker
prisoner; that it had no directions to give con-
cerning him; and that it is only through the
action Of the Judiciary that he could be law
fully held in custody to answer any charges
that might be brought against him. The Mar
shal then informed General Walker that he
had no authority to hold him in custody any
longer, and the two gentlemen Immediately
withdrew

IL TReUBLE.-COm. Paulding, who arrested
Gen. VIM. alller, in Nicaragua, has got him
self into trouble about the matter. The Ad-
ministration at Washington censures him for
having, as they contend, violated his instruc-
tions. They say he was only directed to ssvi-
gilantly watch and promptly intercept any IL
legal expeditions bound for Nicaragua" and
not ordered to land foreign soil and use
the flag and force of the United States to cap
turc man absolutely beyond the jurisdiction
of cur laws. On the other hand, Capt. Chat
ard, of the Saratoga, is found fault with for not
arresting Walker before he landed. Paulding
in dispatch to the Government, explaining
his arrest of Walker, reads the Administration
a sharp lecture on the enforcement of the neu-
trality laws, and plainly intimates that the Of
icers of Government have been very derelict
of duty in allowing party after party of s.out-
laws" TO leave sour shores for the purpose of
rapine and murder" In the meantime, Walk
er has been released, and We wouldn't be sur
prised to hear of Com. Paulding being court
Inartialed.

The MORMON WAR.-Brigham Young has
written spicy letter to Gov. Alexander, the
new Executive recently sent to Utah by the
President. Brigham commands the Governor
to marshal his troops, and leave the Territory
without delay, and proffers him the necessary
aid to do so, if aid be required. He says, il
can be of no possible benefit to waste treasure
and blood in efforts TO exterminate his people.
inasmuch as they understand their own posi-
tion much better than they can learn it from
their enemies. The President comes in for a
full share of invectiye, and he declares that
"if Washington was now living, and at the
helm of our government, he would hang the
administration as high as he did Andre, and
that too with far better grace, and to much
greater subscribing the best interests of the
country" Brigham seems in earnest, and
with the five thousand men he has mustered
into service, may yet cause considerable blood
shed before he can be dislodged from his pres
ent position.

STRANGE SToRY.-Last winter lad named
Sage was missing, in Connecticut, and man
named Nugent arrested his murderer
body was found in the Connecticut river with
out head. supposed to be young Sage, from
marks on the body, and portions OF the clothes.
Some months after, a sailor, named Benson,
returned from sea and confessed that he saw
Nugcnt kill the lad, whom he described, and
helped put him in the hay NOW. A true bill
was found, and Nugent was about to be tried
when the boy Sage turned up in Pennsylvania,
not dead at all. Now the questions are. Did
Benson see Nugent kill any one? Whose
body was found in the river ? and How did
Benson come to guess so well at young Sage, S
appearance and clothing which he described

1851 commencing this new year, We
viii speak . few plain words to our patrons.
it is now two years since the present proprie-
tor took possession of the Journal Office. Du-
ring that period we have, we believe, missed
issuing but two numbers. All must, there
fore, acknowledge that we have been punctual.
How has it been with our subscribers? Some
have paid promptly. We thank them for
it. Many have, however, been very remiss.
For example, take CIearield and Curwensville-
Persons receiving their papers at these places
see us frequently and yet many never think
worth while to even inquire about their ac-
counts, though some have been punctual in
paying. On subscription alone, there is as
much due US from those lifting the Journal
in the places named, as would pay our paper
bill, which is not light, for an entire year. We
hope these interested will Immediately come
forward and make amends for their former re-
missness. There is, perhaps, no class of the
business community which feels more sensi-
bly, than the proprietors Of public Journals the
effects of the arrangement of the currency, and
other consequences of the present money pam
ic, which still embarrasses the whole country.
Under certainty of this fact, we feel that no
one of our readers will take exception TO the
request, that every one who knows himself to
be indebted to this establishment, and is in
circumstances to afford it, will forthwith re-
nit 10 US the amount of his Indebtedness, or
at least portion of it.

has declared openly his approval of the course
of Walker and Stanton, and that the Admin

of large party of Free State men from Law

A TERRIBLE FATE.-A terrible occurrence
took place recently at gentleman's house
near Wimborne, Dorsetshirc, where pack of
fox-hounds are kept. The dog-feeder, hav-
ing heard the dogs fighting in the night, left
his bed, and, without dressing, went down to
try TO part them. They fell upon him and
tore him to pieces, and then ate him. The
whipper-in could not make out next day what
had become of the poor fellow, until he went
into The kennel, and there he found his head
and one of his legs only, the rest being eaten
by the hounds.-Engiish paper.

The DEMOCRACY OF CHESTER CoUSTY.-The
West Chester Republican, one of the most ef-
ffcient and earnest democratic papers in the
Commonwealth, refuses to sustain the Pres-
dents views on the Kansas question, and in
this it fully represents the feelings of the par
the democracy there being unwilling to fol-
low an administration which seeks to endorse
the Lecompton swindle, after it had, through
its agent, Governor Walker, solemnly promis-
ed that the whole Constitution should be sub
mitted TO the people. They are unwilling to
see slavery forced into Kansas. even by the
President whom they supported, against the
will Of nine-tcnths of the residents of that
Territory. Speaking of the sentiments of the
people on the subject, it says
ave have made dilligent inquiry in this
community to ascertain how the democrats
stand on the proposition to submit the Le-
compton constitution to the people of Kansas,
and thus far we have found or heard Of. but
seUen straight out men in favor of submitting
it in the form suggested by the convention
that framed it, The enabling act of Mr.
Douglas is concurred in on all sides. The
oldest and the steadiest friends of Mr.. Bu
chanan, in this part of his former Congress
sional district, while entertaining for him ar
unabated regard, are nevertheless firm in theil
views, that nothing less than the submission
of the entire constitution can fulfil the pledge:
of the democratic party. The thoughtful anC
