Already we have ehronicled twenty-two deaths, ad over fitty houses and barns, &c., destroyed by shtning since June last. To-day we have several more disasters from this circumstance to relate \ man named Walker was instently killed at Hills- boroagh, Ohio, on the 27th ult., by a stroke of light- ning. He was eran on a wagon loaded with wheatat the time. Both wagon and contents were consumed. A most terrific thunder shower passed over some of the towns northeast of Northampton, between five and six o’clock last Saturday evening, and we learn that the light seen by many persons in this town, was the house and the barn of . Pliny Hannum, in Pelham, which wasstruck by lightning and consumed. Loss $2000; insured $600. ‘There was a terrific thunder storm in New Bedford and vi- cinity, on Tuesday morning. At Fairhaven, the lightning struck the dwelling house of Mr. Butrick, but, fortunately, no lives were lost. The damage lone to the building, it is thought, will amount to 31,000. It was insured at the Hingham office. The empest lasied but a few minutes, though it rained mest of the forenoon. The Episcopal church at Pawtucket, R. 1. was strack by Fahiaing and much injured on Wednesday afternoon—the fluid having sseended from the ground in two directions. There was a lizitning red out of order! A dwelling house was also struck, several men thrown over, and the arm of one broken. At Providence the tightning ~truck in several places during a storm on Wednes- day. A house was struck in Johnston, and con- siderably injured; another in Lonsdale. “The barn of Jonathan Wheeler at New Lebanon was burnt up by lightning on Saturday and Hho property de- stroyed. At Bardstown during a heavy thunder- storm, five men, who had been working in a field, about three miles from Mt. Washington, took shel- ter under a beach tree; which was struck by light- ning, and four of the men instantly killed. uring the storm on Fridoy night the barn of Mr. Nelson, ot Hempsted, L.

That in firmly parsuing this course he has pect of all democratic republicans, for en- statesmanship, decision of character, and execu- ity. solved, That the reasons which he has assigned for his last great act, are syund, forcible and uaanswerable; creditable alike to his intellect and his republican heart. Resolved, That in the systematic and implacable oppo- sution to President Tyler, which has been maintained in Congress through two successive and protracted sessions, we detect not a legitimate and honorable opposition, but that of a faction and conspiracy, at once detestable in mo- tive nd dangerous in tendency. lved, That in legislating under the “ iron rule” cret caucus pledges, excluding freedom of debate, and nands of reason, conscience, and the coun- ul majority in Congress has prostituted the ns of the general legislature, forfeited its rust, and incurred the inevitable reprobation of the peo- ple. ‘That in this conduct we observe a base and to usurp and control the functions of the artment, under the alty of @ constitu tional succession to the P which should have specially called forth the generous devotion of every noble mind to sustain the incumbent in the independent and fearless performance of his duties. Resolved, That the charges of perfidy to his constitu- ents, which are brought and reiterated ‘against President tyler, are false and unfounded;’and are applicable only to » who makethem. That in vetoing a National Bank tothe previous course of his public and re- corded life; while the Federal Whigs in urging it upon him, violated their repeated assurances that a Na+ tional Bank was not an object of the election in which he was chosen, and thus, asin all other respects, were guilty ofa broad ai hameless treachery to the people, Resolv hat tne veto power, as exercised by Pr deat Tyler, and under the plots, conspiracies, and usurpa- ions Which have called it forth, is greatly ‘enhanced in stiination, as a wise preventive principle in our form ameat ; apower not absolute, because reversible by a reasonable majority o/ the representatives of the peo- ple, and not monarchical, but purely democratic, because entrusted only to a temporary representative of the great- est number of the people. Resolved, That while we deprecate as anti-republican and demoralizing the present premature efforts of the leral Whig party in president-making, we should not, and will Lot be restrained from expressing our cordial sentiments of approbation towards President Tyler for his lomoeratic acts, by any jealousy of cliques, even of our wn party, who, ffom Whatever motives, may have be- come involved in the same perni-ious course. “Therefore, Resolved, That we will freely and openly sustain President ‘Tyler in proportion as he sustains our principles; md we conceive it incumbent upon all the true Demo- crats of the country thus to prove their attachment to principles as well ato men Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings of the meet- ing be forwarded to President John ‘Tyler. After the resolutions were passed, Ex-Alderman Shaler rose and said, that he approved of the course John Tyler in all his democratic measures; that he done his duty nobly—had acted like an honest ian, and defeated the miserable tricks of the Fed- al whig party—and as such the Democratic party v bound to sustain him. For his own part he wished no better democrat at the head of affairs han John Tyler had proved himself to be in relation o some of the most important measures that had sever come before the country. He was loudly cheered when he concluded his brief speech, and the old big brass gun stationed c by, was fired off with tremendous eclat. Mictiart Waxsn, Esq., then rose and said, that he came not there to make a speech, and not to make n apology; for above all things he hated an apolo- *T came here to express my sentiments in re- ition to the acts of John Tyler as President of the ‘nited States. And I say that by his honest ght-forward course, he has saved the country rom all those evils and afilictions with which the whigs would have cursed it for the next hundred e nothing for an office—I want no ‘ept no office. (Cheers.) I want and honest men. (Cheers.) re nething for John Tyler, further than he acts like an honest man. The whigs took him up as a mere non-entity as you may call it, without knowing what he was going to do, because they thonght he'd have no influence in government, and only a mere casting vote inthe Senate ; because General Harrison was the Presi- dent. (Here a voice in the crowd cried out, * Yes, and God done his duty.”) Yes,as the gentleman said, God did his duty. (Cheers.) I praise John ‘Tyler for every democratic measure that he has per- formed, and when he ceases to perforin democratic acts I shall cease to praise him. I'm not to be swayed by the New Era clique, or the Plebeian clique, or any other clique. (Cheers.) Any stink- ag fish or rotten apple can swim down the stream f public opinion, [Loud cheers, and off went the big gun again,) but it takes a live fish to swim against it’ [Tremenduous cheers in the midst of vhich Mr. Walsh sat down.) Col, Herpurn was then loudly called for, but did not make his appearance. Col, Arvotp was then called for; he rose and made a very brief speech. He said—I did not vote tor Jolm Tyler; but common honesty should induce very good man to come forward and praise Mr. ‘Tyler for every democratic measure he does. He has come to our rescue, and we should at once say 80, like frank, honest freemen, as we profess to be. (Cheers, and another discharge of the big gun.) ‘The whigs charge John ‘Tyler with de- erting their principles—(aughter.) Why, they ne- ver had any principles for any body todesert. (Tre- mendous cheers and roars of laughter.) Did any b see, hear orread of any of their princi- © a queer looking chap in the crowd eried out “yes, | have—$2-a day and roast beef.” (Tre- mendous laughter.) They went to work with Tip- pecanoe and Tyler too, and coon skins and corrup- tion, and blinded the people. (Cheers.) | And how can sucha seb charge John Tyler with deserting their principles. They asked him no questions; but left him to pursue the measures he had always ad- vecated in his former life. The whigs cared not what those measures were, because their depen- dence wason General Harrison. Poor old man! I forgive him! He’s gone now. (Laughter.) But ve was put into the hands of a committee, and in one part of the country he wasa Bank man; and in tnother, an ant-bank man; here an abolitionist, and there an anti-abolitionist. (Laaghter.) In hort he was all things by tarns, and nothing /ong.— (Roars of laughter.) And it was very fortunate he wasn’t. (Tremendous cheers.) I know that some f my political friends are a little tender footed bout this matter. (Cheers and langhter.) They re afraid to come up to the sorateh and give fohn Tyler his due, for fear that it should hurt some f ow men!

Imrorrant rrom Brazit.—We have received by the Louisiana the Jernol do Commercio, to the 28th of June, inclusive. There appears to have been reat rejoicings in Rio de Janeire, in consequence of the pacification of the rebellious province of San Paulo. It was expected that peace would soon be restored throughout the Empire, and all quietly dis- posed persons were, of course, much delighted. Sream Ste Brrrannta.—On the 4th instant this steamer left Liverpool for Beston. She has conse- quently been at sea twelve days this noon. To-mor- row or nextday she will probably arrive with six- teen days later intelligence from Europe. Inpran War.—The Indians, down East, are fight- ing as furiously as any portion of the civilized world. The Passamaquoddy {ndians beyond East- port, Maine, alarmed at the result of the Treaty, have divided into two bodies. One takes sides with the English, and the other with the Americans, and they have had two or three bloody fights in conse- quence. Result, two or three killed, and several wounded. Anuses In Froripa.—We have received a com- munication from East Florida, signed “ An Eye Witness,” complaining of great abuses in the squad- ronthere. Ifthe statements are true, we will pub- lish them, but we cannot insert such grave charges on the authority of an anonymous correspondent. Tue Weatuer.—For a wonder, we had a fine day yesterday, up to sun-down ; but the probability is, that we shail have an additional number of showers to-day to make up for this favor. Tur Evections.—We have nothing definite yet from Indiana, but shall doubtless have to-morrow. The result is important, as the election of aU. S. Senator depends on it. The other five states also have a U. S. Senator te elect this fall. They have gone thus :— Wie. Kentucky. N. Carolina. A Locofoco Senator will be sent from North Ca- rolina, instead of a Whig. The rest will remain as they were. QuEER Reason ror TRAVELLING ON A SunpAY.— The “ Montreal Gazette” of Saturday last, says— The Governor General, Lady Bagot, and the Misses Bagot, together with the members of his Excellen- ey’sstaff, leave town to-morrow morning for Kings- ton, His Excellency, we believe, would have com- menced his journey a day earlier, or later, but that his doing so would have interfered with the due transmission of the mails and passengers. Tur Extra Session.—The legislature will con- vene at the Capitol in this city to-morrow. We are requested to state that the hour of meeting of the House willbe 11.A. M. _ Besides the select commit- tee, several members _of the house are already in towa—the Speaker, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Murray, Neos The committee, we understand, will be prepared to report at the opening of the ses- sion. Rumor says that Gov. Seward will appear by message, with an urgent recommendation that the legislature depart from the sound and high position of the last session, and go afloat once more on the sea of expenditure and borrowing. Reckless as the whig administration was, and desirous as its friends may be to father party capital for the approaching campaign by appeals to Henao interests, we nevertheless cannet but believe it mere rumor.—Al- bany Argus, Aug. 14.

Tu Law.—Passing through the vestibule of the City Hall yesterday, we perceived the following notice posted on the door of the Vice Chancellor's room :— “ Articles of association to promote the interests and ad- vance the dignity of the Bar, are placed in the Library of the Law Institute for general signature.” We advise some of our Session lawyers who practice in the City Hall Courts, to put their names down without de- lay. Those who do not practice there are too far gone to be saved by saltpetre. ‘Tuar Ter.—The owner of three whole chests of tea, marked “Lintin, R & Co.

Ax Uxrxowx Man dressed in the clothing of a United States soldier, was found dead at one of our slips yesterday morning. The coroner held an inquest and burried the body. Mone. Courtenrsits.—A man named John Hopper alias Garret Garretson, was committed yesterday for attempt- ing to pass a $10 counterfeit note on the Hudson River Bank, and also a $20. He first offered the $10 to Mrs. Wilson, grocer, of 296 Greenwich street, in payment for a pound of tea, and when informed that it was a counterfeit ne then proffered the $20. Mrs. Wilson, with the aid of James Hunter, then arrested him, when feats san $10 counterfeit notes on the same bank were found in his pock- ets, and also a $2 counterfeit of the Seventh Ward Bank. The $10 notes are all of letter A, and well executed. Hopper was committed. Loox Ovr.—Counterfeit 5’ on the Chemung Canal Dank, Elmira, N. Y., letter D., payable to A. Dent, H. Maswell, Cashier, J.

Nrtio’s.—Lasi evening the gardens were again tnll—and the new pantomime was received with louder applause than ever. The market scene is particularly animated, and the incidents in it highly comic—there is one by which a dentist might profit. Mazulme is repeated to-night, with the tight rope, and a characteristic dance by Miss Wells.

Resp Sutrnur Sprines, Monror Co. Va. August 4th, ibe. $ Doingsat the Red Sulphur Springs—Grand Fancy Ball—The Belles there—The Characters — Burke's Hotel—Coming Pic Nic, §¢. Dear Bennerr :— Your omnisient genius seems to pervade all ere- ation, save and except this mountain region of the Old Dominion,and here, in the very focus of fashion, sun and Red Sulphur, beaux might go and hang themselves, and pretty girls flirt their lives out, and the world be none the wiser for ut. Where is /e jewne editeur ? Here are playing before high Heaven such pranks as ——, but what use, since you send no one of your fifty reporters here to take note thereof. We have just had one—and are about to have another—of those wonderful, shocking, and alarm- ing events, at which angels laugh, such as the world has not witnessed the like of since the fall of Jeru- salem, and the dispersion of the ‘dark-eyed Rebec- cas. We have just had, out doors, a tremendous storm, literally bringing the mountains low, and raising the vallies high. Ask father Ritchie about it. And in doors we are about to have the most aston- ishing, brilliant, and funny fancy ball, that old Vir- ginia, or either of the twenty-six, Republics, ever saw. It will come off to-night, this very night, or I am no true reader of signs, The morning, this very morning of August 4th, A.D. 1842, has been smil ing by turns, and by turns lowering. The mountains have looked more lofty, and the vallies more green than usual. The Spring fountain has flowed more freely, and sent off its bubbles more sparkling and brilliant than ever, and the waters seem to have lost their sedative proper- ties, and become stimulant, for every one feels his pulse accelerated. Cause of these phenomena had been sought, and the mystery is solved. On rising from the breakfast table, Mrs. G. was heard to say to Mrs. T.. suppose we get up a fancy ball to-night, and Mrs. T. to Miss O’C. suppose we do. Instantly a conclave was held on the piazza, and in a few mi- nutes green boughs were moving, errand boys run- ning, and bright eyes flashing. And now all is in readiness, and already the cottages are giving up their beauties. Carolina row is pouring forth its waltzers, New York and Alabama tl eir nimble foot- ed dancers, and Van Buren House its gallopaders. Hark, the music strikes up. Oh! how shall I de- seribe the Taglioni forms, and tell the merry doings in “ Dancing Hall” this night? No eye but yours, dear Bennett, can clearly see, and no pen but yours correetly portray such thin; Oh, if you could but be there, and can’t you ? you believe in mes. merism? The Colonel does! “Ah, so do you, for I see you are already in the magnetic sleep. 'Now come along with me—mount this fine flight of stairs and enter. St.“ Hale,” what asight. Fairy hands must have entwined these wreaths, and Flora herself strewed such flowers. Hark, the harp strikes in, and there float the easy walters. Whatsylphide forms! what flowing grace! Who are they? The pretty Miss G. and the handsome Miss F., the one the snow white novice, the other the graceful maid of honor. Oh! must such charms be entombed in the cloister, or bestowed on the frivolous courtier? Forbid it, gallant, Those other white torms, the laughin, flower girl from the north, and the timid ahah bird of the mountain, Miss M. and Miss B., how prettily they embrace and trip over the floor! Those demure disciples of the straight coated and spint moved Fox, the quiet drab and the smiling white. The spirit will soon move thou and thee. This is not the first time they have broke loose from the sober discipline of their sect, and tripped it right merrily after the dance-inspiring violin. The aus- tere J®**e and the learned S******#y, should they vacate the bench and the bureau, and appear here now, how they weuld chide. Ali! the quadrille is forming,and who is that Span- ish lady glittering in all the diamonds and jewels of the Alhambra, and justled to the head of the hall by that proud hidalgo ? and there,visa vis,the pretty Sui- tana, with the tiny feet and Cinderella slipper. How did that bold brigand steal her from the Sultan ?— There were the invalids, Mrs. G, and Mrs. O, from the Emporium ci ha and are the spirited promoters of all the fun and frolic at the Red Sulphur. But, see! see! who enters there ? leaning on the arm of that handsome chevalier of Charles Second’s time, giving life by her smiles and death by her frowns.— pirit of Terpsichore! how she moves, as if on wings seraphic. This is the young and lovel: bride, Mrs. V., come up from the gay city to spen the honey moon in the gayer mountain. She ap- pears now, as maid of honor to that dignified per- sonage, with eee beg brow, who should be our queen this evening. Who would not be willing. subjects of such a queen, served by such maids o! honor! Do you notice that turbaned lady, lookin on the dancers, and dispensing her favors around, giving an enceuraging smile to this timid beauty, and a reproving frown to that forward one? That is the kind patroness of the \Fpoemel f whose own hap- piness censists in the happiness o} her guests. Who, ah! who is this spirit, coming madly towards us— with eyes of fire, and gesture wild ?—Madge Wild- fire, to be sure. *Tis the lively Miss O. C., who is ever killing time by her fun, and her lovers by her wit. How all retreat before her—little postillion, (qu’il est beau,) grave young Turk, and fierce brig- and, too. No weapons will avail him against suc! an antagonist. Shade of Confucius! who, and what comes there! Chiang Chu Chong, by ihe gods or. King Solomon in his Con eitts with the Witch of Endor at his side. 5 Ah! my dear sir, you are awake again and off, are out ell, [don’t wonder. I was frightened too. ut I suppose you or your readers may like to know how the affair ended. Well, very well, 1 believe.

Nassau Haut, Princeton, Aug. 12, 1842. 4 Merry Pic Nie Party at Princeton—The Beaux and Belles there. Dear Benxerr :— Since I wrote you last, (which, by the{way, is long, long ago,) Princeton has undergone a total renova- tion. No longer are the righteous souls of the townsmen vexed at a party ora Pie Nic; but there has been quite a round of amusements during the summer. I write now to give you a sketch of a Pic Nic—The Pic Nic of all Pie Nics that was ever dreamed of in the philosophy ot Princetonians. It was a merry day last Saturday, and the sun al- most forgot to shine, ashe gazed on the assemblage of beauty in a row of carriages that left town about 2 o'clock, P. M., and finally old Sol veiled his face in clouds—in truth he was eclipsed. Should I desire here to give all the names of the party, want of room would forbid ; bit they will several appear on the grass before my tale is ended. Suffice itto say, that twenty-four ** fair women and brave men” composed the crowd, than which a gayer never went on Pic Nic or sleigh ride. ‘There isa lovely spot not many miles from town, where fairies ever wander, and a laughing stream runs gaily through tae old oak grove as merrily as if it never saw a sadder scene than on that bright day. The woods were yoeal with natures praises, and all the beauties of the forest joined to welcome in its shade the fair forms that honored us that day with their presence. But to the gist of our tale. Suppose the usual attendance of a Pie Nic over, and the last formalities past, Imagine an old grove with a merr, wandering in it, and you have the scene of that jay before you. ‘The first movement of the party was to a high hill, and there having seated themselves, they woke the echoes of the forest with strains of music. Mr. MeC——y, of D.C. and Mr. McW—, of Ga., were the musicians, and their flutes rung clearly in the forest to wild airs and melodies of love. On an old tree that had fallen in ages past sat the beaunfal Misses B——, formerly of your own city ; the lady- like Miss C—I and the stately Miss R——h, of the same place ; and last, but very far from least in beauty, or aught else, Miss W——t, of Newark.— On some rocks}near by sat the Queen of the feast. Words would fail to describe the beautiful Miss S——s. of Prineeton, Her fairy form flitting through the dim shade and ruling the table with a dignity worthy of Queen Mab or any fay in the land of Spirits, Tleave her description to a better pen than mine. Itis encagh that all knelt to her, some swore eternal fealty. By hersat the Misses the Misses B——e and MissC—r, of Princeton, and Miss =——h, of N. Y., beauties all, and gay as gay could be. Near the first ladies men- tioned stood the well known Mr. R n, of the devoted admirer of the lovely Miss C. B—y. At the side of Miss W- t sat Mr. B—t, of Orange, N. J., and his eyes flashed lovingly as he azed on the fair form beside him. Talking be- fore Miss L.. F——n was Mr. H—g, of N. C., and admired Mr. at the feet of Miss R—h sat the muc P—-e, of Newburgh, N. Y. Nor did any fair lady need a’ partner, At the back of Miss C—-1 Mr. by rs of Newark, bowed an humble semiion. the dark eyed Miss roils The ey a were attended by their admirer Mr. remo D.C.; and Miss C, F——n and Miss S——h yi Mig? E—-+s, nm. . B—r of ef D.C.,and Mr. F——n of Princeto: Philadelphia and Mr. P——n of 8. C., distributed their smiles in all directions. The cluster on the hill was broken up by a valorous attempt of Miss C. B—-y “to try the lovers’s leap’—a chasm about four feet wide and one hundred feet deep. The party instantly separated. ‘We met again at the call of our lovely forest Queen, and surrounded in careless order a table pread under an old oak. The feast and the feasters, the eaters and the eatables, cannot be too much praised. Nor should or could we forget the wine that made glad the bounding hearts of all. It wasa scene fora paimer, but after the sandwiches were despatched and the chickens had taken to them- selves wings, and the piles of cake lay a disjointed mass, the scene was far better. _ Here was a lady leaning prey, on a gentle- man’s arm, and gazing on the murmuring stream. Then the merry laugh of another rang out. Here a gentleman kneeled to receive a wreath upon his brow—and there another whispered in his lady’s ear soft sentences. ; How many shesgempnis have originated here I cannot say, and the future alone can tell. Mr. R—n talked tenderly to Miss L—y F——n, and the blush mantled a moment on her downy cheek, while Mr. P—— courted the smiles of her beauti- ful sister. Icould tell how Miss S—— appeared to favor Mr. F—— ; how another lady sat at the foot of atree,and Mr. M. W——r sympathized with her as she mourned an aching head. I could describe Mr. B. and Miss —— sitting sentimentally on a rock, and looking at the pes water at their feet; the daring adventures of the fearless Miss ‘oO , and the gentleness of her sister’s lovely smile—that angel-smile that has melted so many hearts. I could talk of wit and flattery—the digni- fied flirtations of Mr. A——, and the laughing eye of Mr. P—,, and the sober flattery of Mr. E—s the dark eye of Mr. W. flashing merrily, and the devoted attentions of Mr. M. C—— to a lady fair—but I forbear. ‘We wentand came again,” and joyously we came, though sad at leaving the forest green. Wye a small attempt at an insult from some stragglers, which the gentlemen were anxious to resent, but were ,revented by the soft arms of the ladies interposed to prevent a quarrel, we left the areenwood in merry humor, and came back to the dull routine cies ny life. If there be anything more of interest, 1 promise you an account ofit, and at least you may expect to hear from me at the commencement. Yours, truly, Livnxeye. Albany. (Correspondence of the Herald.)

Mr. Eprror:— After an absence of some two weeks from town, I have returned, and ence more resumed the pen.— As it seems decidedly wrong to hide from other ci- ties our own proofs of prosperity and success, I now chronicle them. Business is increasing slowly, though it is not time for the fall trade to commence. Our merchants say the clouds which have darkened the commer- cial horizon are gradually rising, and they trust soon to predict areturn of our former prosperity. Soon the new crop will be coming from the West, and with it a fountain of wealth will pour into the cof- fers of an exhausted treasury. From ail of the Western country accounts of a fich and overflowing harvest are given. The mild and plenteous showers during the summer are repaying i ¢ farmer an hundred fold. Though much rain fallen in this section, yet the intervals be- tween the storms have been long enough to gather up the crops in eafety. Wheat is fine and abundant —the far West,who have been importing their “‘staff of life,” will send us their hundreds of thousands of bushels for our own and foreign consumption. Qur wharvespre brightening upslowly. The large trade with the Eastern States callsa vast quantity of craftto carry on the business. With on we have three regular lines of pacaet schooners, en- gaging twenty-four splendid vessels, which make their trips with the promptness of steam vessels—also a vast number of transient vessels, owned princi- pally by their commanders, who do business ‘‘on their own hook,” with all the keenness of the Yan- kee Nation. Notwithstanding the Western Rail- road Company manage to keep a constant stream of cars on the move, laden with weal! et the ves- sels all go loaded to their bulwarks. ‘as it not tor the railroad we would be compelled to send our commodities way oft to New York for.a market.— This will only be averted ‘when the Albany and Nensieoe, or the Hudson River Railroad is fin- ished. New Haven sends some dozen vessels of various capacities, and for our flour and grain—What do you think we receive in retura!—Don’t laugh,—Clocks! Produced in Connecticut,—from the wooden works and simple cased at $2,50, to slpendid eight day brass wheels, &c.—mahogany c: and percussion evo- lutions. Every vessel is expected to have more or less quantity of boxes of them in its hold—else we feel disappointed. The West is furnished with them, and better time pieces cannot be made. I know of one which has run six years, costing 20 shillings, (York shillings) and does not vary two minutes a month. Every Western cabin has one. Hartford, Miadletown, Nantucket, New Bedford, Fall River and Norwich, all send their quota of ship- ping. From Philadelphia we have a line of iron steamboats and barges, bringing coal and iron in vast quantities Baltimore, Md., Norfolk, Rich- mond, Petersburg, also are represented. One thing retards our prosperity—that is, the Over- slaugh. The United States Government expended a great sum for its improvement, and by building a vast dyke or pier, caused the current to be narrow- ed, and after the dredging machines had deepened the channel, it kept itreefclear. About eight miles below us, at Castleton, is a dam, where the sand has accumulated and filled up the narrow chaanel, ren- dering it impossible for our leaded vessels to get over at even high water. Nothing retards the pros- perity of our city more than that. A proposition was made to the Common Council of Troy by our City Fathers to unite, and at mutual expense to “re- move the deposits.” After mature deliberation they came to the conclusion that it was Albany’s business, not theirs, as they had enough to do in taking care of themselves. All that is very true.— Well, then the cy consented to do it themselves, and finding it would cost about $2500 or $3000, the agreed to commence operations if Congress woul eventually remunerate them for the outlay. A com- munication was received from Hon. D. D. Barnard on the subject, which caused our, governors to say that they had no jurisdiction in the case—it be- longed to the General Government to do it. Thus the vast outlay heretore made will prove worse than useless, unless followed up at once. - Our whole city and county isin a perfect fever of excitement. The Millerites have arri A have pitched their tent and camp on Arbor Hill, about a mile from the Town Pump. ‘The tent is of immense size, about forty feet high in the centre, and will seat persons with ease, the wide and spacious aisles. ‘The exercises are conducted by rothers Hines, Covert and Fitch, who do it in an orderly and impressive ek As gig ge ity is obse! asin any of our regul pees gee ‘The ladies en seated on the fice eames: fay and ‘Thursday evening it was to suffocation. Not less than 1200 females and 2000 males were under the broad canvass listening to Mr: Fitch’s bo! of the prophecies. Every one had formed a strange opinion respecting this sect—they supposed them a set of fanatics, who were deluded by gross supersti- tion and ignorance. So far Mr. F. has susfined all his arguments in a very happy manner, and proved clearty that the prophecies ot the Bible are about to be fulfilled. Some have said the Jewsare all to i -8 thered into Canaan before the world isto be de. stroyed. Hehas not spoken of that, but may be- fore leaving. No idea can be formed of the sensa- tion. Women run of, leaving the kettle on the fire and children erying for their suppers to be put tobed. The husband hurries from his daily labor to put on his best coat, and hastens to the ser- vice. The old grandmother, tottering under the burden of years, and the girls and boys just be- ginning to walk, are found on the spot listen. ing with open mouth and ears to what the preacher saith. ‘The encampment commenced on Monday, and will continne about a week. Mr Miller himself will soou be here, and then we will have to place him on some lofty pedestal, so that en andience of 20,000 may listen to him. Thus we go, One day rolling in sin, the next hailing with joy the words of everlasting truth. Al- bany needs allthe prayers. of the Church to purge her from the weight of indignation and wrath whic! will be sure to be poured out upon her devoted head, unless the change be speedily made. Very truly, Ky Warps. BY THE SOUTHERN MAIL. SSS = Washington, [Correspondence of the Herald.) Wasuineton, Aug. 14. yhig Caucus—The Tariff, The whigshelda long and stormy caucus last niy!t and finally adjourned, as is understood, without coming to any decision. The greatest anxiety (o pass a revenue bill prevails among the whig represen- tatives trom the manufacturing districts, but they despair of success without the co-operation of the distribution men from the West, and the latter are at present determined to cling to their favorite mea- sure. Looking at the matter in all its aspects, there seems to be no reason to anticipate any salutary le- gislation. It may well be doubted whether a tariti’ bill of any sort can be passed without distribution. A bill can hardly be passed so as to conciliate the support of a majority of the House, excluding the distribution men from the West. But the vetocom- mittee will probably report to-morrow, and then the result will soon be ascertained. Baltimore, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Ba.timons, August 15, 1512, Ma.
