Arrived in New York from W. stminster, London via
Galway by the steamship Pacific, Mrs. Henrietta Bruce
Wellington Boate, the popular English authoress and Mr.
E. B. Wellington Boate.
The Exeter IN. H. Ners Letter has the Iolow ng re
speeding the impacable Thorndike:-We knew M. Thorn
dixie little than forty years ago. He was then
under the age of twenty one, student in college, and
rusticated to town In the county Of Middesex for
neglect OF duty. He was then regarded spendthrft
and young man who, if not already ruined was fasi
approaching the precpce to which Incidence and dssipa
ton, with plenty of money, sure to lead. We
him only occasionally. But about to leave
town and his term Of suspension being nearly ended he
asked US day to write for him two three college
exercises termed forensics and TO forward them to him.
for he delinquent in this respect and he would be
obliged TO present them before readmisson We did not
send them he expected and he wrote urgent
epste, calling upon us in no gentle terms to bep him in
the matter We yielded to his opportunities and furnished
the exercises desired. He returned to college and
graduated We him occasionally afterward, for
the service rendered him he never SAID much
thank you. We believed him then to be thoroughly
selfish Young man.

political offenders up to the Goth ultimo, unanimous

The Convention have authorized the executive power

the same duty.
q The articles paying higher duty per tariff of 1856,
compared with tariff Of 1884, to be reduced twenty Ave
per cent.
g. The articles admitted free per tariff of 1884, and not
per tariff Of 1856, TO be admitted free.
a. Iron, copper, agricultural implements, machinery
for mills iron tubes for water and gas and all Of
materials for the construction of railroads and tegraphs
to be admitted free.
The tariff thus amended is to 90 into effect on the
first proXmo.
The new law offers many advantages TO the United
States, as most OF the articles admitted free shipped

PROVISIONS, &C.

The distance as before stated, is but about $50
miles, all the way following the beautiful valley of
the Platte; the road is generally level the streams
either bridged or fordable. What is familiarity
known as the old Mormon route leading up the
north side of the Platte to Fort Kearny, &C., is,
upon a correct estimation found to be about 100
miles nearer than the southern route.
The organization of a new Territory will soon be
asked for there, and already the miners there
numbering about five hundred-have sent dele
gate to Congress to this object. Mr.. Ora
ham, gentleman of energy, and a Western man at
heart is the person selected, and is now doubtless
in Washington. As a friend, and gentleman hav
ing at heart the interest of the West, wish him
success.
We notice our delegate in Congress, Hon. F. Fer
guson, is wide awake to the interests of Nebraska
and he has the kindest wishes of all the well wish
-ers OF the Territory in his behalf The bridging of
the Platte, the passage of a homestead bill, APP
preparation for good geological survey of the
Territory, an appropriation for defraying the eX
penses of the volunteers in the Indian troubles of
1855, &C., are among the needful things sought by
him. The plan introduced by Mr.. Norris of Hi
nols of making Territorial officers elective by the
people, is one not only popular, but more fully
ryng out the principle OF "squatter sovereignty"
1t meets with the cordial approval of all here
Many are improving the present winter, frozen
streams, &c. in forwarding mills and machinery to
the new gold regions of Cherry Creek and the
Platte. The winter thus far has been mild. Corn
sells at 80 cents and 35 cents and advancing; po-
tatoes ut Is cents -four at 81 per 100 lbs; pork
81 so per 100 lbs &c.

Capacity for forgery was not the only accomplishment
of this man. There is hardly species of vainy in which
he was not proficient and all OF which he cloaked

cay and the time of the day that he himself mailed the
letter, and to the description of the five bills enclosed
therein. From this point we need not recount
the steps taken by Mr.. Hobrook TO track out
the lost letter. His Investigations pursued tor about
weeks time with that uncrring sagacity and foresight,
for which he is remarkable Suffice to say that at The
close Of the investigation Keeney found himself in the
grasp Of man who read the very secrets OF his heart
Mr. HOlbrook took him into private room and wrung

Gen. Francis Nash.

The publication in the Observer OF the 18th inst Of
letter from Germantown, detailing the particulars
Of the death Of Gen. NASH has brought us the follow
ing letter from friend in Sampson county:
CLIFTON, August II, 1861 see from the last Oh.
server a letter from . gentleman in Germantown,
respecting the death Of Gen. Francis Nash, who was
killed at the battle Of Germantown on the 4th of
October 1777 stating that the particulars relating to
Gen. Nash were derived from Mr. John F. Watson
the annast of Philadelphia, that be copied from Mr.
Watson's memoranda his own words, etc. But do
not see or read In that letter words spoken by Gen.
Nash himself after he received his mortal wound and
lay bleeding on the ground they were these Eight
on, my brave boys the day is our own don't re-
move me, let me remain on the ground"
This have always considered as noble sentiment
a. that expressed by Lawrence, Don't give up the
ship - and, for aught I know, may have given rise
to 1t, as did the Aecklenberg Declaration of indie.
pendence to the National.
You, OF course, will want to know nv authority
which will give, as consider it reliable. It was
often told me in my boyhood by my mother (which
made lasting impression on my mind) that she had
brother (Curs Ivey) who was at the battle of Ger
mantown; that he informed her those words were
uttered by Gen. Nash under the circumstances that
have mentioned. firmly believe it. Ivey was at
the battle OF Brandywine also /; he was An Adjutant
in the army.
Ny mother related many circumstances about the
Revolution that she learned from her brother, and
none with more emphasis than the expression used
by Gen. Nash. Her brother died in Sampson county,
having served during the war, and was ever consd-
cred by his contemporaries brave man.
Ny object in writing you these hasty lines, is that
our Legislature should erect q monument. think it
would be proper to inscrihe the words used by him
on this memorable occasion-yes, may say honor.
ably and periodically used-on the monument.
