Poor, Poorer, Poorest.?A Demo-!
cratic candidate for the Legislature of
this State, addressing the people in one
of the upper parishes, was very particular
in impressing upon them his great
love for poor folks. When he had finished,
his Whig opponent rising to reply,
said that the Democrat had taken all his
~ thunder from him?that he was emphatically
the poor man's friend ; could'nt
be otherwise?that he came from the
poorest State in the Union, North Carolina?that
he came from the poorest
county in that State Buncombe, and
from the poorest part of that county?
that he was the. noorest man in that
county, except his father, who was too
poor to have a grandfather?that he was
so poor that even that county was not
poor enough for him, and that he obtained
the poorest horse in that poor county,
and started to find a poorer county ; and
fellow citizens, said he, I have travelled
until I arrived here, and you will all ad
it:. _ . %

the State, and nere I shall remain until
I hear of a poorer.?N. IK Tropic.
The Centre of the Universe Discovered.?The
Cincinnati Atlas states
that it has received a German Journal,
Ll!.t I I r% _ r ri ?
puuusueu oy jrroiessor scnumaner announcing
that Dr. Maedler, director of
the Dorpat Observatory, Russia, has
made the extraordinary discovery of the
grand central Star or Sun, about which
the universe of stars is revolving. This
discovery he annouces in the following
language:?
" I therefore pronounce the Pleiades
to be the central group of that mass ol
fixed stars limited by stratum composing
the Milky Way, and Aleyene as the
individual star of this group which
among all others combines the greatest
probability of being the true Central
Sun."
By a train of reasoning which I shall
not attempt to explain, he finds the proable
parralax of this great central star
to be six thousands of one second of an
arc. and its distance to be thirty-four
millions of times the distance of the sun,
or so remote that light, with a velocity
ot twelve millions ot miles per minute,
requires a period of five hundred and
thirty-seven years, to pass from the
great centre to our sun.
The Pawnee Indians have robbed the
St. Louis Fur Company of 140 packs of
robes, being one half of the entire produce
of their labors for the present year.
A Dead Scene.?A correspondent
of the Newark Advertiser, writing
from Bergan Hill, says:?"The
argument of the Attorney General,
in the case of Spencer has this
moment been suspended by a melancholy
scene in the Court Room.
Smith Scudder, Esq., of Elizabethtown,
and an old and honorable
menber of the New Jersey Bar,
(the father of the District Attorney
now engaged in the trial of Spencer.)
took his seat immediately bei

was soon after noticed to hang
back, his wig falling off, and a
mist apparently covered his eyes.
He was immediately stretched out
upon the floor, when l)r. T. B.
Gautier,of Jerse3rcity, pronounced
him dead from congestion of the
brain within five minutes from the
time he was first noticed/*.

It is said that this immense work
has been undertaken for working
a large stratum of rock salt.
Malleable Glass.?A foreign
paper speaks of a marvellous invention
which has come to light
within the walls of St. Etienne?
the production of a sort of glass as
m&lleable when cold as while red
hot! The Moniteur des Arts says,
this new metal, which ere long
will be of more value than sold.
and which the inventor has called
Siciiicon, is of a white color, very
sonorous, and as brilliant and
transparent as crystal. It can be
obtained with equal ease, opaque
or colored; it combines with various
substances, and some of these
shades produce combination of
extraondinary beauty.
Sickness at the West.?From
all we can learn, says the Alexandria
Gazette, we should judge that
the present has been the most
sickly season throughout the whole
West, since 1838.
Disease among Horses.-A frightful
disease prevails among horses
in Kings, Queens, and Stuffolk
counties, New York. Not long
since twenty died in one day, and
every day found new victims. It
is apprehended that the disease is
contagious. A number of horses
have lately perished in England
from an epidemic. The N, York
Commercial has a letter stating
that this disease has extended to
New Jersey. _ The same disease is
said to prevail to some extent in
Scotland. The New Haven Palladium
states that the epidemic
liuc
aisu nicvut; its n.ppp?-irance in
Connecticut.?A blister between
the eyes is said to be the most
effectual remedy, the seat of the
disease being in the head.
South Carolinian.
The New York Whig Convention
have nominated as the Whig
candidate lor Governor, the Hon.
John Young ; and Hamilton Fish,
as Lieut. Governor.
Another Speck of War.?We
learn from the Cincinnati Times,
that all the troops now at the
Newport Barracks have been ordered
to proceed forthwith to the
interior of Ohio, for the purpose
of removing the Indians, by force
of arms, from the Miami reserva
tion. purchased not long since from
that tribe, to their lands west of
the Mississippi. They refuse to
move, as they are dissatsified with
their new home, from the reports
of those persons sent to view it.
The annual value of British
commerce with Mexico is estimated
by the British Minister at
Washinton at ten millions of dollars.
The annual procee s of the
Mexican mines have been twenty
millions of dollars for some years
past, more than half of which has
gone to Great Britain.
There is a strong likelihood that
the magnetic telegraph will be
extended from the United States
to Montreal and Quebec. A gentleman
in the former city has offered
to construct it for ?5000.
Another Countermand.?Letters
were received at St. Louis on the
12th instant, from the War Department
notifying the United
States officer at St Louis of the
determination of the Government
to dispense with the services of
the regiment of Infantry called
for by the requisition on the Go~
vernor of Missouri of the 18th of
July, and which regiment has, ere
this time, assembled at Fort Leavenworth.
The order directs that
they shall be mustered out of ser^
vice as speedily as possible, either
at fort heaven worth, or any other
point where they may be. They
will, of course, receive pay for the
time which they may have passed
in service, for travelling to Fort
Leavenworth, and we presume,
six months clothing.
