The Mayor's insa- rural address, and the neglected condition of the entire ity, will afford them some useful hints for their guid- ance, A Scene iw THe Mavon’s Orrice.—A most amusing scene occurred on Monday afternoon in the Mayor's ofice. Two verdant Kentuckians, who had arrived in the city in the morning, with ® drove of cattle, were taking ® stroll through Broadway, and, when in the neighborbood of Wall street, were attracted by a man in one cf the stores in that vicinity, selling watches at auction. They stepped in, and commenced bid- ding—the one buying a bras, and the other a Ger- man silver watch. ‘They paid down eleven dollars for the watches and asked’ the auctioneer if they would “go; to which he replied. they would. “Well,” said one of them, “they are cheap as dirt; and off they started, delighted with their bargain. One of them put his watch to his ear, when he discovered that it would not ‘go;”’ and the other, upon trying his, @iscovered it to bein the same condition, hey im. mediately started for the Mayor's office, with a view of laying their cuse before him, that their grievances might be redressed. They marched into the office, and laid their complaints before that functionary.as follows: “Yeu see, by golly, sir, we're strangers here, and went toa place in Broadway to buy a watch a-piece, and one of ‘em run a leetle bit, and the other won’t run at all. Ishould’nt keer nothin’ about it, but it was all the money I had, and I wanted’ to buy some clot ‘We're from old Kentuck. and that ar fellow, (pointing to the younger,) is arale Kentuck sapplin’. ‘By jiminy @riuiny want my money.” The Mayor, convulsed with laughter.told them that it was out of his power to do any thing for them, but would get an officer to go with them, and see if the man would give them their mone; back. ‘The elder, who was chief spokesman then said: “I ray, I shonld’nt like for this to get in the newspa- rs, for daddy takes em, and | don’t want ’em at home know nothing about it.” The Mayor consoled them a well as he could, when the lad Jooked up at the prin- , #aying “You'll buy another watch when you sell our eattle, won't you!” By golly if I had my way 'd throw the damn’d thing at his head, and make a job of it. but I spose wo'd better git-off the best way we an.” They then started for the auetion roon, accom- mied by officer Norris, who succeeded in getting Beck eight dollars of tho'money the tons on their part being threo dollars. It Is probeble they have ero this made up their minds to quit dealing in watches, espe- eiallyat auution. They had travelled on foot with their drove from Kentucky, anticipating great sights when they arrived at New York, and they were not long in “seeing the elephant.” Srxev.—The steamer Confidence, Capt.

We hold these truths to be self-evident—that all men and women are created cqual—that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights—that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi- ness—that to secure these rights governments are in- stituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any formof government comes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to in- sist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its owers in such form, as to them shall seem most likel: effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indee will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes, and ac- cordingly all experience hath shown that mankind aro more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed; but when a long train of abuses and usurpatiess, pursuing invariably tho same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despo- tiem, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled. The history of mankind is a history of repeated in- juries and usurpations on the part of man toward wo- man. having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has never permitted her to exercise her alienablo right to the elective franchise. ie has compelled her to submit to lawsin the forma- tion of which she hae had no voice. He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners, Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the lective franchise, bgp? leaving her without * representation in the halls of legislation, he has op- pressed her on all sides. . ihe bas made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly di Hie bas taken from hof all right in property, even to the waces she earns. He has made her, morally, an irresponsible being, as she can conmit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compel ed to promise obe- dience to her husband—be becoming. to all intents and purposes, her master—the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastise- ment. He has so framed the laws of divorce as to what shall be proper causes of divorce, in cnse of separation to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given, asto be wholly unjust and regardless of the happiness of woman—the law in all cases going upon the faae supposition of the supremacy of man, and giving all power into his hands, ‘After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made re. le to it. ile has monopolized nearly all the means of profita- ble employment, and from those she is permitted to follow, she recvives but a scanty remuneration. He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction which he considers most honorable to him- self, Asa teacher of theology, medicine or law, she is not known, He has donied her the facilities for obtaining a tho- rough education—all colleges being closod against her. He allows her in church as well as state but a subor- dinate position, claiming apostolic authority for her exclusion from the ministry and, with some excep- tions, from any public participation in the affairs of the church. He bas created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude woman from society are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man, He bas usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assi her a sphere of ac tion, whén that belongs to her conacien ad her God. He has endeavored, in every way that he could, to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-resfect and to make her willing to lead a depen- dent and abject life, Now in view of thia entire disfranchisement of one half the pebple of this country, their social and relig- ious degradation; in view of the unjust laws above men- tioned, gnd because women do feel themselves aggriev- ed, oppressed and fraudulently deprived of their most a@ *aored rights, we insist that they have immediate admiesiofi te all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States. In entering upen the great work before us we anti- cipate no small amount of misconception, misrepre- sentation and ridicule, but we shall use evory instru- mentality within our power to effect our object. We shall empisy agents, circulate tracts, petition the state and national legislatures, and endeavor to enlist the pulpit and the press in our behalf, We hopo this con- vention wMl be followed by # series of conventions embracing every part of the ges Wirmly relying upon the final triumph of the Right and the True, we do this day afix our signatures to this declaration More fhan a hwadred names were subscribed to the above instrament ‘Tne Tropuies or Wan.—The Pittsburg volun teers (Duquesne Greys) brought home with them a young Mexican girl. She had distinguished her- sell, says the Pittsburg Journal, by her unceasia devotion to the wants of the sick and wounded | among our men; and had she been left behind, she | would have been cruelly treated, perhaps murder- ed, by her countrymen, tor her humanity to onr ople. It wae thought advisable to bring her on jome With them. They all appear very much at- tached to her; she is treated with the utmost re- spect, and we doubt not a home will be provided tor herby her brave friends. She is about 17 years of age. ‘ é Another of the Pennsylvania companies, (Capt. Nagle’s) brought with ihem three Mexican boys, between the ages of 10 and 13 years. The young- sters attached themselves to, and were taken charge of, by the corps in the neighborhood of the city of Mexico, and wherever the company marched the beys followed, and finally became so attached to their new friends, that it was found impossible to get rid of them without a resort to harsh means, which no one was inclined to use. | The little fellows are said tobe active and quite | intelligent. | New Eneiann Coat.—The Blackstone Coal Company are prosecuting their mining enterprise at Valley Falls, R. 1. They raise about 60 tons per day. A large steam engine was at work, drawing the coal out of the mine at the rate o! fifty or sixty tons a day, by means of an inelined railway penetrating into the mine, The shaft has been sunk to the depth of about 200 feet perpendi- cularly, and laterally in diflerent directions to a much greater distance. The principal vein now | being worked is 16 feet in diameter, at an average dip of about 45 degrees. The quality of the coal is improving very fast, and is, for alf practical pur- poses, very good.

For the purpose of giving those | interested in the debt of the republic of Texas all the necessary information, we give below the act as it passed the Legislature :— Rervnzic or Texas—Pavment or 11s Dest. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas, That the auditor and comptroller of public accounts, as soon as practicable after the passage of this act, shall cause six months’ notice to be given, by pul ion in some newspapers published weekly in the city of Austin, New Orleans, Washington city and New York, requiring all persons having any claim or demand for money against the late republic of Texas, to present the same to the auditor and comptroller o: ublic accounts, on or before the eecond Monday in November, 1849’; and all claims that shall not be pre- sented on or before that time shall be postponed. Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the auditor and comptroller juintly to receipt, under thelr seals of office,tor all claims presented to , Setting forth the par value thereof at the time the came accrued or were issued; the name of the person to whom the debt accrued, the date and amount thereof. The auditor and comptroller shall each keep correct list in books, kept for that purpose separately—first, the audited or ascertained claims, such ag stock bonds, treasury notes, military scrip, or any other audited or ascertained claim ; second, all claims with sufficient evidences and vouchers to au- thorise them to audit under the late republic of Texas; thirdly, such ciaims as are not sufficiently authenti- cated by vouchers. Itis hereby made the duty of the auditor and comptroller to report to the next session of the Legislature for its action. See. 3. Be it further enacted, That it shall be duty of the comptroller and auditor jointly to report to the next biennial session of the Legislature for final adjust- ment, the whole amcunt and character of the public debt ‘ascertained, according to the provisions of this act, together with such suggestions concerning the same as they may deem just snd proper ; and they shall likewise ceport semi-annually, from the first day of May, 1848, to the Governor, the amount and charac- ter of claims presented and filed in their office; and it shall be the duty of the Governor to cause a synopsis of the report to be printed in some newspaper at the seat of government in the State. Sec. 4. Be it further enacted that it shall be the duty of the auditor and comptroller of public accounts to classify all claims presented under the provisions of this act, reducing the same to the actual par value which may have been realized by the late republic, and | may report such further classific as they may | deem best calculated to preserve the rights of the State and to do equity to the holders of the claims; and | the classification and rate of payment recommended | by the auditor and comptroller shall be subject to the | revision, amendment and ratification of the next Le- pislature ; and that this act take effect from and after | ts pasrage. Approved March 20, 1848, We published some time since, an official report mado by the comptroller of Texas, classifying the indebted- nersof the republic, according to the amount received by the treasury on its various bonds. Wo have no doubt | those of our readers interested have preserved that report. It gives the par value of all evidence of debt issued by the republic. By the above law holders of | Texas securities have a period of twonty months from | its passage, for presenting their claims on demand for adjudication and record.

I may say, too, that [ saw 6000 acres, al. adjoining.” Corn is raised by con- traet, for 4to Gcents per bushel taken in the field. Hogs are raised on clover, oats and corn, and it is not unfrequent to find farms with 1600 of these grenters. On the Grand Prairie, no less than 10,000 cattle, from one te four years, were feeding in different herds, for the Eastern market—one herdsman taking care of two to four hundred, for a compensation of ten cents per head, per month, The greater part of the wheat harvest has been se- cured in this vicinity, but there are a good many fields rtill out.

Wasurnoron, July 2%, 2318. The Negro Abduc ton Trial—Catlin’s Indian Gal- lery—Soldiers and Velvet, §c. §c. The trial of the “ negro stealers” was continued to-day. The defence to be set up is that Dray- ton, the prmetpal in the transaction, merely wish- ed to assist in the escape of the slaves, and that | the skipper and erew of the schooner were merely conveying them to “free soil.” This is a very different offence from that of “negro stealing,” being puaishable by fine and imprisonment in the district jail, whilst for the latter crime, several years in the penitentiary is administered. It may be that Drayton, on this occasion, was merely an agent of some abolitionists, whose humanity 1s greater than their honesty, but it is rather im- probable. He has, on more than one occasion, e: deavored to make arrangemen's with negro dealers im Maryland, for the supply of slaves—stolen ones —but on these occasions he filed in his object. It is very possible that in the present instance he had procured a customer, and if he had been su cessful, it would not have been an unprofitable speculation. One of the witnesses testified that Drayton, when captured, said he expected all along to be caught and incarcerated in the penitentiary—that he was glad of it, as he would there have time to prepare his soul for heaven.— This is certainly a novel and rather strange way of obtaming salvation, and we recommend the man at once tofound a sect. The Hon. Horace Main was in attendance, en the part of the aboli- tionists, as counsel for Drayton, but we suppose this philanthropic gentleman will not continue his sympathy, if it should turn out that his client in- tended totransport the blacks to Georgia instead of to Pennsylvania, ‘The evidence yesterday and to day, was merely a statement of the facts regarding the capture of the schooner “Pearl” and which were published when the occurrence took place; we have not, therefore, considered it necessary to give it. We will, however, commence to-morrow, a full re- port of the trial, giving the speeches, &c. ‘The trial has excited a good deal of interest, {par ticularly as it bears upon a question which at present fills the public mind. A memorial has been presented to Congress, by the Rev. R. R. Gurley, praying the purchase of Catlin’s collection of paintings and curiosities, 11- lustrative of the manners and customs ot the North American Indians. ‘The memorial has been re- ferred to the Committee on Library. ‘The design 18 set forth in the first paragraph of the petition as follows: ‘The undersigned re ectfully represents, that his friend, Mr. George Catlin, a citizen of the United States, now in London, on the 5th of June, 1846, pre- sented a memorial to Congress, stating that by the earnest labors of eight entire years of his life, and at an expense of more than $20,000, he had obtained a unique collection of Indian portraits, customs, costumes, and weapons; that this collectjon includes about 600 paintings, from forty-eight different Indian tribes, with ‘the most tare, curious, and va- luable specimens of dresses, weapons, and other manufactures of the North American Indiwns, that have ever been made ; that among these pictures are forty full-length portraits of Indians completely costumed, and colored from life. the heads of which are fac-simile casts of distinguished Indians on the frontier; that all are the productions of the memorialist; and that in addition, are nearly two tons weight of mi- nerals and fossils of great "Interest, brought from the Indian regions of America. That the memorialist, during his prot.acted and arduous exertions, had been stimulated by a laudable ambition of making this col- lection the nucleus of a museum of mankind, to con- tain eventually the records, and resemblances, and manufactures ofall the vanishing races of men on the globe; and that he had been supported by the hope of being enabled, under the patronage of his own overnment, to complete a pictorial history of those nteresting ‘tribes of aborigines who will, at no very remote period, have yielded to their coun- try and their existence to more civilized men, and leave it to be preserved as the property of sald govern- ment, for the benefit of future generations, in the me- tropolis of the Union. Several memorials have previously been present- ed to Congress upon the same subject, and on July 24th, 1846, the Joint Committee on the Library re- ported in favor of amending the establishment of tne Smithsonian Institute so as to purchase the gallery for $65,000, payable in annual instalments. e Know of no more valuable purchase which could be made than the one in question. In the language of the memorial of American artists in Paris, “ The Italian who wishes to portray the his- tory of Rome, tinds remnants of her sons in the Vatican ; the French artist can study the ancient Gauls, in the museums of the Louvre; and the Tower of London is rich in the armor and weapons of the Saxon race.” Interesting as this collection would be to the country generally, it is absolutely necessary to American artists ; and a West and a Powers prove that the American artist 1s second ie none, where he has an opportunity of studying 18 art. 2 Since the close of the war, Washington has been visited by a great number of disbanded soldiers, and whiskey has risen in consequence of the 1n- creased demand. The latest arrival is that ot a body of marines, and itis a singular fact, that nearly all of them have their jackets lined with crmmeon silk velvet. It appears that when the ci- ty of Mexico was taken, a great quantity of splen- did velvets was found in the Halls of the Montezu- mas. After the officers had done.their duty to their country, by helping themselves to as much as they wanted, the privates were allowed to forage, and the result has been the strange con- trast which is presented, of very coarse blue cloth jackets, gorgeously |umed with silk velvet. Some of these soldiers tell strange tales of transactions which have not, we opine, oe in the offietal reports. A book, which would give an account of all these things, would not be the least interesting of the many Bistories of the war. So the House has laid the territorial bill on the table, and the many hours spent oy the Senate in its passage have gone for nought. he Senate should move turn round and pass the resolution of the House, to adjourn on the 7th August. That is a new which, at all events, would meet with the hearty concurrence of every one. ‘The more espe- cially as it appears, no settlement can be made of the exciting question which they have been debat- ing. However, there is no teoepect of an early ad- journment now—we still hold en to the let of Sep- tember, but it is very peeeen that the adjournment will not take place till the middle ot ‘pty ee MEGA. ‘Wasurnaton, July 21, 1848. The Case of Major Tochman.. Iregret that my letters, giving an account of Major Tochman’s trial, for challenging J. H. Bradley, Eeq., were erowded out of the Herald. Major Tochman’s case being one of great hard- ship and persecution by the Russian government, towards a naturalized citizen of the United States, has excited a good deal of interest and commisse- ration. Previous to the trial, the following petition was presented to the President :— “The undersigned members, of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, most reapect- fully represent to your Excellency, some time during the year 1845, the heirs of General Kosciusko engaged the legal services of Major Tochman, (now a naturalized citizen of the United States, and e member of the American bar.) to recover cortain propert which their kinsman, General Kosciusko brought wit! him from Polaud, in 1798. Major Tochman being a litical exile, and the laws of Russia not permitting ussian subjects (the heirs of Gon. Kosciusko) to trans- act any business with s Polish exile, the representative of the Russian Government attempted to supersede the authority under which Major Tochman acted, and employed other counsel. This effort to invade the constitutional rights of # naturalized American citi- gen, necessarily Jed to a series of unhappy difficulties, which ended in the finding of several bilis of indict- ment against Major Tochman and his friend, for “chal- lenging,” “publishing” and “libel.’’ “ The undersigned members of Congress, believing that the difficulty originated from improper f m ini ference with the rights and privileges of Major Toch- man, as 4 naturalized American citizen, and member of the bar of the United States; and that, in conse quence of the vast amount of unfinished business before Congress, the bill for bis relief may not be reached in time to afford a remedy, most respect- fully solleit your excellency to enter a ‘“nolle pr sequi? in the cases depending in the crim nal Courts for the District of Columbia, against Major Tochman and his friends—Captain Shoumbey, (Signed) D.

" July 27, 1848, Urrival and Reception of the New York (Ne, 9) Hese Company—The Barnburners Awake—The Recerders? Court and Grand Jury—The “ New York Herald.” ‘This morning, very unexpectedly, a telegraphic dispatch was received here from Syracuse, thet the Columbian (No. 9) Hose Company of your eity were on their return from Niagara Falls, and would arrive in our city in the first train of cars, and remain with us till the departure of the night train. Our firemen and military were quite taken by surprise, bat as they are always on hand to receive strangers, they soon got together, and made preparations to reeeive their brother firemen of the Columbian Hose Company. John Armin (foreman of engine No. 5) was appointed Mar- shall of the day, and assisted by J. B. Howell andJohn Van Ness; some time before the arrival of the ears, our engine companies, Nos. 3,4, 5,and 9, together with the new and beautiful military company, the Colum- bian Artillery (Captain McQuade), marched to the railroad depot to await the arrival of the cars. At, half-past eleven, the western train arrived with the hore eompany, No. 9, accompanied by that ele- gant band of Dodsworth’s, and were cordially received by the above companies and our citizens, [ had almost forgotten to mention the beautiful Utica brass band; they were highly complimented by Mr. Dodworth here, as he gave them the credit then the best of any band they had heard since they left New York city. Our city engine companies looked most beautifully, as did the Artillery; they all joined inthe line of march, No. 3 (John Savage, foreman) taking the lead of the firemen, and they marched, mode a beautiful display through some of our streets, Arr ments having been made with Capt. Clapp, of ti verell House, to furnish dinner three o'clock, at the stated time the guests were spot, and found everything arranged in the best manner. The captain being well known for getting up eamp- tuous dinners, they could not havo fell in with better quarters than at Captain Clapp's, Averell House, The dinner went off in good style, when they agsin ad- journed to the street, and marched through some of our streets which they had not yet seem. At ten o'clock they partook of an elegant supper at White's Central Hotel, and then adjourned to the depot. While waiting for the cars, both bands played some elegant music; the midnight western train arrived at half-past 12. and left at 1 o’clock, when the “ Colum- bians”’ bid their Utica friends farewell, and started on their way home. Not having time, I cannot give you all the details of the reception. but I don’t think the “ Columbians” found (in their long journey), any city to give them a more cordial reception then dla the city of Utica. ‘he barnburners had quite a large meeting to-night at Mechanics’ Hall, there were between end six hundred in the hall. and they were long and ably ad- dressed by Francis Kernan and Mr. Thropp; many resolutions were pasted, &c.,and the meeting sdjourn- ed to meet again next week. Our Recorders’ Court and Grand Jury arv now in session; they both have a ‘ood many cases to dispose of; they will probably get through some time to-day The New York Herald is received twices day in this city, by W.

He ‘was removed tothe Wills’ hospital, where every assistance was rendered, but all proved unavailing, and he expired in the course of [ast night. The Pottsville company ot returned volunteers, Capt. Nagle, where mustered out of the service be evening, and this morning departed tor their omes. The bodies of two of the former members of the Pennsylvania volunteers, are to be interred with military honors this afternoon. One is Se t Freeston, cf Capt. Hill’s company, who died trom disease at Cincinnati while returning home, and the other is Sergeant Evans of the rangers, whose sudden death I mentioned yesterday. Purtavernta, July 29, 1948.
