Ofscdticllon came before Justice Hopson un-

{t appears that a Mr. Jnlin Arlin, who re-
sides in Sufl’olk=street., where he recently re-
moved from Pliiladelphia, has for some time
suspected that his ‘wife was holding an im-
proper correspondence with some person In
f-‘liiladelpliia. Last week his suspicions were
confirmed on discovering several letters in
his wife’s trunk signed by one James Mc-
Gowan, a merchant tailor in Pl_ii_ladelpliia,
-and directed to her under the fictitious name
of Hannah Churchill. The husband kept
his suspicions to himself, and on Saturday
‘took a letter from the Post Office, directed as
above. which informed Mrs. Arlin, that the
writer, McGowan, would be at the steamboat
Hotel, near the battery on Sunday.
On making this discovery, .Aflll1 replaced
the letter in the post oflice _in order that it
might be received by his wife. d_H~’l 0" SW‘
‘ day he gave out that he was going to leave
the city, and would not return till late.in the
evening. In the course of the morning he
ascertained that a note had been sent to
McGowan by his wife, and ln'll'lL’. afternoon,
he saw that individual enter his house. He

in summer the track will command the St.

F/orir.Za.——-Extract of letter dated from
Tallahassee, July I4, 1839: “ Last night the
Indians made an attack on the dwelling of
Mr. Green Chaires, a most respectable plan-
tcr, about 10 miles from hence. They ap-
proached the house unobservccl-—p‘ryed open
one of the weather boards, and after intro-
ducing fire and coiribustibles, drew themsel-
ves iip in front of the parlor windows, and
discharg. 21 their arms into the rooms in
which were Mrs. Cliaires and her two
youngest children. Mr. Chaires and his
daughter Elizabeth and one son had retired
for the night. The rep_ort of the fire arms
roused Mr. C. from his slumber, and on open-
ing the parlor doors he behold the lifeless
forms of his wife and two children ; he then
made his escape from a back window, and
succeeded in eluding’ the vigilance of the In-
dians. His daughter and son were equally
fortunate. The house. was burned to the
ground and with it the remains of the slain.
The attack was made between 9 and 10
P. M. ; and the light caused by the burning
oftlie dwelling was distinctly seen here, but
was very generally supposed to be the steam
saw mill of Mr. John G. Gamble, Jr.
The Express sent in reached here about
3 o’clock A. M. when the beating of the
drums to arms caused the citizens to shake.
off their slumbers and hurry into the streets
to learn the heart-rentling intelligence. The
sad tale told, the crowd dispersed silently but
hurriedly. To arm and equip was the thing
ofa moment, and a brief space brought forth
that gallant corps the Mounted Minute Men,
armed atid equipped ready for service.
_ The ceremony of mustering being quick-
ly dcspatched, they dashed offin fine style in
pursuit of the base murderous seoundrels,
who had filled our hearts with grief and
mourning. Shortly after, Captain Bezcau’s

the democratic creed.
administration party presses and party conven-
tions are utterly silent now! They advocate the
election by the People, or by their immediate
and responsible representatives. of numerous
public officers who are now appointed by and
hold office at the mere pleasure of the Execu-
tive. But relative to such an increase of popu-
lar rights and diminution of Executive power,
theutlminislration presses are silent as the tomb!
They are opposing with all their might the old
Federal scheme of consolidating all the powers
cfthe Government, and uniting the purse and the
sword, in the hands of one man-—thus standing
upon the same ground formerly occupied by the
Democratic party.
The truth is old democrats can discern but lit-
tle ofprinciplc left, in the way that party affairs
are now conducted. Every thing is left to the
direction of mere policy.and policy is made sub-
servient to the procnreincnt of qflicc merely for
this ortliat particular man, or little colerie of
men. Democracy, under the control of such
managers, and a policy so scllisli, has so Lltered
as to leave it open for modern whigism to as-
siitne very nearly as liberal and as democratic
principles, as old fashioned democracy itselfwas
wont to do."

Good news’ for Pr2'nte7's.—-'I‘he Foreign
Monthly Review mentions that a type founder
of Clermont named Colson, has obtained a
patent for a new material for printing types,
which is harder, capableof more resistance,
and yet less expensive than the ordinary
composition of lead and antimony. It is
well known that types cast from the latter
soon become worn, especially since the in-
trodtiction of’steam printing. Colson asserts
that the material is; so hard that the types
themselves will serve for unches in striking
matrices, and that it will ast ten years with-
out being more worn than the usual compo-
sition is in one vear.
