Suicide of the late Secretary of State~Tampering with the Pardoning Power—Resurrectionists—A Case in Point The Barney Case—Trial for Manslaughter—Small Pow —The Custom House Schemers, §c. ‘The reception of the news of the suicide of Wm. Van Buskirk, Esq., at Cumberland, Md., late Secretary of State, under Governor Thomas, did not cause much sur- prise in this city among those who knew him during his residence at Annapolis. It has beon confidently asserted that from the time of his acceptance of that office until the close of Governor Thomas’term, he had never known a sober moment, and through the imbecility of mind occasioned thereby, was lead by designing men in this city to inflict many a blow on the honor of the State. With a Governor la- boring under a mental hallucination of some kind, in- duced by jealousy of his wife, the whole authority of the Statewas vested in the secretary,and it is a known fact that men of standing in this city received fees from the friends ofthe most notorious Convicts to go to Annapolis, and by piying liquid poison to the unfortunate Secretary, secure forthem a pardon. ‘The “Swingletree” gang were par doned, and other murderers set free, whilst the doors of the penitentiary were also widely extended for the egress of rioters, thieves, and burglars. It may be a matter ef gratulation to them that the unfortunate victim of their criminal tampering is outof the way as a witness against their conduct, though I have thought it might be as well to assure thein'that there are othersyet living cognizant of all the facts in the case. Mr. Van Buskirk was rather to be pitied than condemned for his participation in the e arrival of the cara at Cana- | matter, as his mode of life was caused by an effort to drown the remembrance of the most severe and heart- rending family afftiction, which has finally driven him to seek for death as a relief therefrom. During the past winter the medical men of this city have made many successful efforts to secure for dissec: tion the bodies of persons who have died of doubtful diseases that were not buried in vaults, They have a band of organized resurrectionists constantly in pay ; one of whom, a negro, some months since, came to death by a pistol shot fired at him whilst’ pursuing his unlawful vocation. In other large cities, there is gene- rally enough subjects to be obtained from the hospitals and alms-houses, but in this city such is not the case, and it becomes necessary to rob the graves, alike of rich and poor, many of which, if now examined, would be found to contain nought but empty coffins. ‘This reminds me of a case which occurred not very long since, but whieh was never noticed in the papers, having been hushed up by the purties concerned. It was the case of an old lady, ofa highly respey le family, w ad died of a disease which baflled the skill of the physicians in attendance, and they had her taken up on the very night of her inter- ment. About two weeks after, her daughter had adream, which left the impression on her mind that the body of her mother had been stolen from the grave, and she, being a little superstitious, had the coffintaken up. ‘The result proved that the impression was too well founded, and it is now regarded by many of the friends of the family as having been a supernatural visitation. ‘The Barney case is still progressing in the City Court, the arguments in the case commencing yesterday. I find that the sketch of the case I gave in my last letter, em- bodies all the particulars. ‘Che amount of damages awarded by the jury, it is thought, will fall greatly short of the $25,000 claimed. In the District Court yesterday, the case of Abraham fohnson, colored, indicted for the manslaughter of Jas. Drummond, on board the brig Orleans, on her way to this port, was brought on and disposed of. It was proved that the parties had had a little difficulty,which resulted ina mall scratch on the prisoner's nose, and that a few minutes after, when it was supposed to have been all set- tled, the prisoner rushed on the deceased, with knife in hand, and stabbed him to the heart. Johnson was the cook, and Drummond one of the sailors on board of the vessel. The jury, after a short absence, returned a ver- dict of guilty. The ravages of the small pox in this city and what is worse still, 1have heard of several cases where death has ensued from the want of attention. A female died on Fell’s Point last week, who had been en- tirely deserted. On being discovered by a good Samari- tan, she asked for a drink of water, but before it could be rocured,death had relieved her sufferings. A man doing business in Baltimore street, it is also said, died from the most palpable neglect, with this horrible disease, a few days The remains were found to be so offensive that it was impossible to induce any one by a reasonable compensation to transfer it to a hearse, and drive out to a burial ground, Under these circumstances, a private citizen, Mr. Asbury Jarrett, put on an old suit, went into the house, removed the corpse, drove out to the burial ground, and interred the body—prayed over the grave, and afterwards paid all the expenses. Such an act is deserving of the greatest praise. The Custom-House schemers are stilt bafiled, and Gen. Marriott remains at his post as Collector. The party who went to see the President yesterday on the subject, received no encouragement from Secretary Walker, and were not permitted to see the President on account of a slight indisposition. Although the country press is sending forth the most dismal cries relative to the effect of the recent frosts on vegetation, I find the Baltimore market overflowing with the greatest abundance of early produce of all kinds.

Dear Sim :—As you may, one of your leisure days, feel inclined to take a trip to the upper Lakes, or at least some of your numerous readers may, a notice of my journey thus far, may not be uninteresting. The pleasantest route is railroad to Rochester, canal a the canal are 100 15 wide, and as pleasant and comfortable , With excellent officers, especially Capt. Seoul to Lockport, and railroad thence to But- falo, via the Falls. You will find Buflalo much im- proved of late years, and will doubtless be astonish- ed at the number and capacity of her marine, espe- cially her steamboats. There is a very neat, prett theatre in operation there, and at present Mrs. 4 Hunt, from the Park, a clever woman by the way, is the attraction, aided by a respectable young tra- gedian, Mr. G. Jamison. Up the Lake I had the good fortune to get on board the St. Louis steamer, Capt. G. W.. Floyd. She is truly a splendid ship, and finished in a manner that I have never seen equalled. The hold is used for freight; there are two steerage cabins, one on deck, and a emall cabin for ladies at the stern. On what iscalled on the Hud- son, the 1 poet deck, are her cabins, with state rooms all around. The main cabin is 111 feet long, including a ladies’ saloon, 20 feet wide, and 13 feet high. ‘The door of each state room has a plate of glass, stained most beautifully, which at night admits all necessary light. The state rooms are six by seven feet, two berths and two doors, one to the deck and one to the cabin. The Ee eae is allenclosed, with a wide ge way to the forward cabin, which is fifty eet by pata St iy ag elegant saloon for gentlemen, with bar, &c. On large pannels, six by three, be- tween the doors of the state rooms in both cabins, are paintings, truly and without exaggeration, beau- tif.l and artist like, and which for accuracy of draw- ing, boldness of touch, and truth of design, would put to shame very many of our over praised paint- ings of the Academy of Design. The artist is named Cohen. The designs of the pictures, which by the way are all on canvass enamelled, are national— scenery from the Juniata, St Lawrence and ether streams—views of Butfulo, streams and harbors— and in the forward cabin there are scenes of ships, weighing anchor, reeting a mainsail ina storm, Xc., and some views of men-of-war in storms. The borders are in fresco, and all the glass in the cabins ere beautifully stained. I cannot leave this part of my letter without a word of praise,in simple justice, to the officers. 1 went on board a perfect stranger, and received as much kindness and attention as if been an owner. Captain Floyd is a salt, and in appearance, manners and seamanship, resembles one of your Liverpool Packet captains. The stew- ard, (here an important post, the captain not havin; much time to devote to the passengers,) is Mr. T. T. Bloomer, and his table exhibits his own and the bye good taste and liberality. We had plenty of lobsters, (remember this is 800 miles from the sea- board,) strawberries, &c., and as well served a meal, and as well cooked viands as the Astor, ex- cepting the entreés of French cuisne, I wish some of the Hudson river stewards would see Mr. B.’s table and copy its neatness, cleanliness and li berali- ty. The ship 1s 700 tons, and leaves Buflalo every two weeks for Chicago and intermediate ports. The dates are in the papers. We had for passengers, Mr. Whitney, the pro- jector of the great railroad from lake Michigan to the Pacific. He is going to make a cursory survey of the route to the foot of the Rocky mountains, about 800 miles: He had seven of his company with him; twenty-five men join him at Milwaukie. I no- ticed amongst them Mr. Le Roy, Mr. Rasey and Mr. Thomas, of your city, all wealthy, I believe; Mr. Howell, of Canandai and a gentleman from Boston.

Fishing and Yatching—Captain St sof the Cutter Ha- milton—The Odd Fellows? Celebration—Captain Jud- kis ailing of the Urania. ‘This is the beginning of the season for fishing, yacht: | ing, and boat-sailing.. A select party of the representa- | tives of the New York Light Guards, in company with | another party of the Boston Tigers, and Flag’s Brass | Band, not forgetting a galaxy of the fair, enjoyed a most | delightful fishing excursion, a day or two since,on board | of one of the large and buautiful yachts which belong to | this port. They left here after breakfast, just as the sun began to stare his hottest, preparatory to mounting the | meridian, and proceeded down the bay with a fine breeze from the NW, which lulled to slumbers the ex- tended canvass, and wafted to leeward the pealing mu- sic of the band, as the beautiful yacht skimmed over "or cut through the rolling swell. After enjoying a day of unmingled pleasure, and having caught fish enough to feast a regiment of Aldermen, they returned in safety. — A splendid supper, with suitable accompaniments, closed the pleasures of the day. ‘The revenue cutter Hamilton, Capt. Sturgis, sailed yes- terday, on a short cruise. You are not, { think, aware that the gallant Captain was in your city a few days since, and remained there nearly a whole week, without being announced in the papers. On his return, however, he spoke very highly of your citizens and their public institutions—particularly so of the Sailors’ Home, where he dined. The Captdin is one of the best hearted fellows alive—always easily approached, and ever ready to re- lieve the wants of those who solicit his aid; and often, without being solicited, in aquiet way,,he makes the dreary home of the unfortunate cheerful. As the 19th (not the 17th, as stated in your paper of Wednesday.) approaches, the Odd Fellows are begin- ning to brush up their armor for the long-talked-of cele- bration. It is estimated that they will make a display superiorto any public procession (of a particular class) that has ever been witnessed in tnis vicinity. Carpen- ters are already at work on the frame werk of the tent in which they are to dine on the Common; and Messrs Prince & Baker, sailmakers, commenced on Monday to make the covering. Many of our most respectable and wealthy citizens have recently ed the order. Among them are our courteous and obliging Postmaster, Nath’l Green, 3 Col. W. Winchester; Joshua Sears, Esq.; John L, Dimmock, Esq.; E. Gerry Austin, Eag.,and many of our leading clergymen. I understand that Captain Hewitt, of the Britannia, 8. S. Lewis, Esq. the agent of R. M.S. Co., and Mr. Robertson, of the same firm, on the return of the Britannia to this port, will also join the order. What at one time appeared to be akind of rowd: concern, is now regarded as highly respectable. And it is really so. None’ but men of unblemished reputation, no matter how wealthy they may be, are permitted to join the order. Tam happy to inform you that Captain Judkins is re- covering quite fast. He is an excellent oflicer, and very much esteemed by all who know him. The frigate Urania sailed at daylight this morning for Europe, with a light breeze from N.W. The wind, however, veered about 8 A.M. to the eastward, and con- tinues to blow lightly from that quarter, therefore she is now turning to windward in the bay. The U. 8. steamer Mississippi will not be ready for sea before the middle of July, in consequence of some alter- ations and improvements that are making in her machi- nery. Joun Bunyan. Inrerestine Inpran Councit.—We have hereto- fore noticed the council of the neighboring tribes called by the Creeks, and their mpatiie. at the Creek Council Ground. On Thursday evening last we arrived there and found a tolerable large assemblage of Indians, composed principally of Creeks. The Council was call- ed by the Creek Chief, General Rolly Mcintosh, who sent'the “ broken days” to all his atgh boring brethren, including the Chippeways, Wyandots, and Comanches, inviting them to meet on the first of May. It was brought about by the Creeks unfortunately killing, some months ago, several of the Pawnee Mehas, and was designed to wipe away this stain of blood, to heal, while fresh, the wound thus inflicted, to keep the “ white path” clear, and to enter into new covenants of peace and friendship. But few of the tribes were able to get in at the appointed time. Before the council broke up the following repre- sentations were present : Muscogees, or Creeks, 730 ; Seminoles, 52; Choctaws, 13; Chickasaws, 11 ; Shay- nees, 6 ; Delawares, 1; Pankeshaws, 1; Osages, 12; Kickapoos, 4; Quapaws, 6; Peolies, 3; Caddoes, 8. The messenger, Echo Hajo, andfive others sent with the “ broken days” to the Comanches (known by nearly all the tribesas Pah-do Kah’s) returned the following an- swer, “ We send back your emblems, they have ialse tongues. also reported that they encamped with the Comanches (of whom there are seven branches) all night—and were permitted on the following morning to depart. After proceeding some ten miles on their way they halted for the purpose of killing some buffalo. While thus engaged their horses escaped and returned to the Comanche camp, where they were followed by three of he young men, whom the Comanches immediately seized with the view of putting them to death. Becom- ing anxious on account of the long absence of these young men, Echo Hajo, who isa Creek, and the only one of the compauy that spoke their language, was in- duced to go in pursuit of them. When he arrived at the camp, he found them in a ring, ready to be put to death, and an old woman begging for their lives. He was also coolly invited to walk inand share their fate, but pre- vailed on them finally to release the whole party, on condition of their giving up their clothing, saddles, bri- dies, blankets, tobacco and other effects, reserving their ‘uns and horses. The other Creeks stated that Echo ajo played a falso part, and told the Comanches that the objects of the Creeks in calling the Council, was to form a league for the purpose of destroying the Osages and all other prairie tribes, and that on searching his saddle hags they found plenty of tobacco, aiter he had informed them that he had no more—hence the allusion to the false tongue. ‘This representation is credited by the Creeks. ‘Tne Comanches further told the Creel messengers that they had a previous engagement to meet the Osages and all the other border tribes, this “moon,” at the Great Salt Plains, to devise some measures of re- dress, and that they wanted to know how the white horned Buffalo (cattle) would eat, since the wild Bufta- loes, by smelling the white horned ones, and the hogs and people, (Creeks and other ‘settled tribes) were driven so far off that they got very hun- gry before they could overtake them. The the meeting here spoken of, was corroborated by the Osages, who last summer received the “ broken d painted red, to meet the Comanches at the Salt Plaii grass got about one foot high. Upon this Osage Chief spoke with animation and effect, and stated that the Osages did not know the object of the ng, but would learn it when they arrived at the in; and further, that he knew, waat his brothers, the Museogeer, did not know, but of which they woald soon be imOrmed, &e. The following Indians have been invited to at the Salt Plains :—Comanches, Caddoes, Kioways, Wichetaws, Wacoes, Keechies, Tewockenees, Osages, Chiennes and Eutaws.' The object of this coun- cil is not known, but is, probably, designed to prevent the inroads of the more civilized nations into the buttalo range. We have no idea, however, that any thing wi'l grow out ofit that will effect their peace. During the Council, the pipe of peace was smoked, the white paths cleared, the Council fire patted afresh, and several speeches of interest delivered by the heads of the differ- ent representations present, which next week ap- pear in the Advocate. The nights were enlivened by the “Terrapin Shell dances” of the Muscogees, and the songs, drums, reeds and saltations of the Osages. The object for which the Council was called, having failed in a great degree—eflecting a reconciliation with the Paw- as—the Creeks have egain sent emblems of ‘obacco, encircled with white beads—to the Pawnees and Comanches, to the former by the Coona-l chees, or Caddoes, and to the latter by the Osages, with a request for answers, whether “good or bad.”— So soon as they shall be received, it is the inten: tion of the Creek chiefs to call’ another grand Council at the Great Salt Ph , and to request the kind offices of the government of the United State: On Friday last, the 16th, the Council broke up by a ge: eral leave-taking of those present, which was performed after their respective customs. That of the Creeks, Choctaws, &e., being by shaking hands—of the Osages, Quapaws, and others, by taking hold of the right arm about the elbow, with the right hand, and giving it a hearty gripe and shake—and of the Caddoes by embra- cing, a real lovers’ embrace—warm, affectionate, and de- lightfully intimate.

In the centre of a beautiful prairie, which the wild taste of the Kaw Indians | have selected for their permanent village, is the rendez- | vous of the Oregon Emigrants, assembled here to com- | plete their final organization. One hundred and four wagons arranged in an oval ring, and linked together with ox chains, form at once an immense caral to enclose the stock, and an impregnable fortress to protect them, One hundred more wagons encamped in groups at small distances complete the troops here assembled, which ig the plain with their snow white covers, resound- ing with a busy multitude plying to and fro in business of preparation, or herding the cloud of stock engaged in devouring the luxuriant grass, combine to heighten in interest a scene full of animation, sunshine, and excite- ment. ‘The emigrants have been engaged during the day in framing and adopting a system of regulation for their general government, and in the election of officers. Dr. Walsh, of Cooper county, Mo., has been chosen Captain, Stephen H. L.
