Towanda, (pa.) May 31. Narrow Escape.?On Wednesday last a little before night, as Mr. John M. Fox and his lady were riding in a gig through the narrows between this place and Ulster they were precipitated together with the horse and gig off the narrows, a distance j of nearly fifty fe^t, at an almost perpendicular descent, and, strange to say, escaped without the loss of lile, although we understand Mrs. Fox was considerably ! j hurt. The accident occurcd, as we are, informed in consequence of the breaking, of the spring of the gig on the lower side, which cause the body to sway so far as to i | suddenly overturn the carriage. / STEAM BOAT KXI'LOSION. ' Alter our paper went to press, an acci. > dent of a most melancholy character occur- j red. The Steam Boat John alker, own- [ ed by Dovle O'Hanlon, Estj. was, this. morning, about daylight, blown up, and made a complete wreck. It appears that she had raised a head of steam and run down along side the Brig Bo- f vjue, lying at anchor in the stream, for the j purpose of towing her down over the shoals. Soon after making her fast to the brig and j while in the act of heaving up the anchor, the boilers burst,?simultaneous!v blowing : out the bow and stern ot the boat, which,1 in a few minutes, sun1:; and is now almost i entirely under water. Capt. A. G. Dickson,1 who was standing on the engine house, by j the side of the Engineer, was blown . over ' tbe stern of the brig, and bus not been recovered. Damon, a black lireman, who ; * ? WV ! T I .1. _ I was iu the hold; and t'urcJie Jacoos, me jh- j lot, were also killed. Isaac, the Engineer,; a blackmnn. was blown on,board the brig, j and is dangerously wounded. Prince, a 1 black man, was also slightly wounded. The boat hud 011 board some goods lor the interior; but we are not informed who arc the owners. The steamboats Clarendon and Henrietta, are about towing the wreck into f the dock, where she may be got on shore ; if possible. From tho ("icorjyrtown .Metropolitan. Morrison's Hvglian Pii.i.s.?Our1 readers will doubtless remember that we gave an account, in a late number, of tiie ! i' -i--. 1 . inquest by a coroner s jury m rmgiauu, upon the body of a man named McKen>.ie who had received his death fro hi the 1 the application of this infamous quackery and that a verdict of manslaughter was found against a man name Salmon, who )wd sold and applied the pills. He lias ! since been tried, and found guilty, though recommended to mercv on the ground of his being only the vender, and not the compounder of the pills. lie was condemend to a fine 200/, with an intimation , from tl?e Court that the uext case of simi lar description would be pubished with exemplary severity. A number of witnesses were producedon the part of the defendant in support of the virtue of the pills ; and he insisted that the patient had died because he had not been permitted to take a sufficient quantity of them, his wife having secretly withhold a portion of tirr?<n-rihod. and the nhvsician called w.v^ r. , , . in, when the patient was reduced to the | last extremity, having forbiddeu their far- | thnr application. Witnesses were pro- j duccd who had taken far greater quanti-! ties of the pills for rheumatism in the ! knee ! one witness had taken 1000 in the I course of 20 days ; the usual dose of one j female was 112 at night; another took Go, another 40 daily; one had swallowed 20,000 of the pills within two years! the i pills were jirovcd to consist of aloes, as- j safoetida, and gamboge. The quackery of the thing consists in applying them hi. discriminately to every imaginable ailment, multiplying the quantity daily till they either kill or cure, without any reference to difference of constitutions, and habits of the system. Morrison is said to be making a clear profit of over $150,000 per annum from the manufacture and sale j of these pills. All the petty quackeries which swarm in this country certainly sink into nothingness by the side of this stupendous and sublime one of the " London College of Heelth.n Whereupon, on motion of Col. F.

The Committee would advise that the said Kitcliell should be rode around the village on a Rail with a band of atl kinds of music playing the Rogue's March?that his head should then be tarred and feathered and again rode around the village as before ?that lie should also leave this State within ten days from this time, under the penalty of Lynch's Law. Upon motion, it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the public gazettes of Milledgeville, with a request that they be re-published in all papapers opposed to the fiendlike purposes of Northern Abolitionists.

We have already noticed the apprehension, at Palmyra, of two avowed Abolitionists, having in their possession many incencinry publications. They were suffered trnlepai t from the State, a short time being allowed them to effect it. Their names were Garret and Williams. A public meeting was held at Palmyra on Saturday last, at which Abolition was repudiated all its forms by those present. Dr. Ely, we have understood, addressed the multitude, and his remarks were re ceived with favor. The writer, who had just arrived at Marion City, thus details the subsequent events. 44 We had not been in town hsilfan hour until a report reached us, that Dr. Bos ley had been murdered at church, about seven miles in the country, l>y Win. Muldrow. The facts of the case are these, as nearly as I can learn. young man, whom Muldrow brought out from the Kast with him, to officiate in the capacity of Secretary, has been expressing himself publicly iu favour of Abolition, and has also been actively engaged in circulating Abolition papers &c. The consequence was, that a mob of 90 to 100 men took the young man, with the intention of putting a coat of tar over him ; but, after consultation, concluded in consequence of his youth to let him escape. The mob, or company, however, went to the College, and, after a little search, lound a box containing a variety of abolition publications, brought them to town and burned them. 41 ^ 1^4.

Also, the clos ' ing sentence of the same section, so as to | 1 i make tiiem harmonize. Section 0, which j r | treats of dress, lias, also, !>een amended a 1 ' little in the phraseology, but more for the J | purpose of explaining than changing the j * j principles of the section. ~ I < | Missionary Work.?The constitution of 1 | the Missionary Society of the M. E. Church has been so amended, in accordance with 1 the recommendation of the board of manaI gers, as to take its foreign missions to share r I the benevolent provisions of the Missionary 1 ! society. The resolution to appoint a cor- j 1 responding secretary, or general agent, to ] ! reside in New York, and devote his whole c : time to the Missionary society, has been a- c I dopted. This secretary will be supported c j by the Missionary society, in whose service ' he is to he employed, but will receive his ap- s j pointment from the General conference, and a i in virtue thereof will be a member of the New York annual conference, j The General conference resolved, like wise, to scud a missionary to China, whenever the general superintendents may deem ' it safe and proper. 1 The Liberia mission has shared the ati tention of the Ccneral conference. It has 1 I been recommended that one of the bishops i visit the continent of Africa, and organize . the Liberia missionary annual conference | and ordain their ministers who arc eligible; ' and that it be done during the next four 1 i years, if the bishhops shall judge it proper , ! and convenient. j | Conferences.?Six new annual conferenj cos have boon established, namely: RIack I River, Krie, Michigan, Arkansas, North | Carolina, and New Jersey; these added to ! those established heretofore, make twenty. j eight annual conferences.

Defendant produced a patent from the United States to his farther, for the ! exclusive right and use of certain botanic . medicines, and he as assignee of tho patent; claimed a right under said patent to ; pratice and prescribe for patients. The : Justice's Court of the City of Albany, dcI cidcd that he, Thompson, had no right to ; practice medicine for fee or reward, unless 1 he had a diploma from some regular inf corporated school or society, and fined I him the sum of $25, from which decision ; Thomson appealed to the Supreme Court, i The Supreme Court affirmed the decision; \ consequently Botanic Physicians have no ! right to recover for services.

I A Lad Killed by a Panther.?The 0gj densburg Republican relates the following I melancholy incident the particulars of which are given by the father of the boy who lost his life. lie was only twelve years of age, and was hunting alone in the vicinity of Indian Camp, near Black Lake. His father had promised to come to him on hearing the report of the gun, which he did, and found him lying in the paws of a panther, the panther wagging his tail, and appearing much pleased with his prize. The boy told his father he had shot at the panther and wound: ed liirn, when the animal sprung and caught | him before he could retreat; and as there j was no chance for Lis life he advised his I father to lire, and make as good a shot as ! possible.

Creek War.?The Montgomery Adver; tiser of the 28th tilt, states that all the por! tion of the Creek tribe, above the new road , j leading from Montgomery to Columbus, 1 is now peaceable. Opothie l'ohola, with ,! his friendly party, had within a few days : rundown and made prisoners of all the : hostiles in that section?killing one of | their most noted chiefs, Below the road, ! the t ehees and Hitchatios are said to be : in arms; their object seeming to be to give one general battle, and then retreat to the '! wilds of Florida. Scaufjng parties report j thenuo be embodied in the swamps, about , j 25. miles, from Xuskegee in a direction i towards the Chatahoochie. Col. Shackle1 ford, at this time in charge of the forj ces at/Tuskegee, will soon have a regi' ment full under him. He is said to be a cool and discreet officer, and not likely to i be deluded by the "evil minded and vtl,) lainoushi corrupt white men in the tia- j \on." iip preparing a depot for pre Muldrow plunged his knife into his side. Some say that Muldrow slabbed him before he drew the pistol. It is true, however that he did stab him, bur there are some hopes entertained that he may recover. Muldrow mounted bis horse and rode home, and for some time all was confusion at the Camp ground? ladies fainting, children crying, &c. &c. " It was soon reported that Muldrow had made his escape, and persons were immediately sent to Hannibal, Quincy, and in every other direction, in quest of him. The Sheriff, (with a posse comitatus of sixty,) at 12 o'clock that night was told by Dr. Clarke that Muldrow should be delivered up, provided he dismissed his posse, and would guarantee his safety until they could confine him in PaJmvra. He did so, and yesterday he was brought there, accompanied by l)r. Ely and his friend. I went to see him, hut could only have a moment's couvcrsation with him. To-day lie will have his trial. lie is a very unpopular man in this country, and I would not he at all astonished ifho would have to undergo the process of Lynching. This evening I expect to know the result." M Dr. Nelson endeavoured to make his escape, but was taken at Quincy ; and yesterday one or two of the young men at College sent a threat to Palmyra, that they would express their views on the subject of Abolition, in defiance of them. In an instant a company of forty-two left for the College on horseback. What the result will be, I will not know until evening. IMPORTED SILK. It is stated on the authority of Dr. Stebbius, that the silks imported into the United States during'theyear 183.5, amounted ro Si , P*7.0O*. From the Southern Georgia Recorder. TO TIIE PUBLIC. Ilillsboro, June 8, 183G. From letters received from gentleman of high respectability from the neighborhood of Tarversville, Twiggs county, and other suspicious circumstances relative to the character of a man who styles himself the Rev. Aaron W. Kitchell, and says he is from the State of New Jersey, it appeared highly probable that he was carrying on a communication with our black population highly injurious to Southern interest and t? t?aa doomed nm<]ent fo nssem. \ suicijt ib naj ubwuiv/u f - - ? ble the citizens of this place and vicinity, to adopt measures which might tend to put a stop to so dangerous an outrage. The citizens having assembled, Cuthbert Reese, Esq. was called to the Chair, and , Dr. Robt. A. T. Ilidley requested to act as Secretary. On motion of William Phillips, Esq. a committee consisting of three were appointed, viz:?Col. F. M. White, John J. MorI ris and William Mobley to invite Dr. B. R. Thomas to the meeting, who it was understood was in possession ot facts confirmatory of the statements made in the letters above alluded to. lie was accordingly introduced and fully confirmed the facts as set forth in the letters. Under these circumstances, the said Kitchell was taken up, and his papers examined; amongst them were found various cer-I tificates, one of which he acknowledged was ; forged by himself and from the great sinii-! larity of hand-writing there was hardly a \ doubt but that he had made the most of' virions, and will in a short time he able U meet the enemy, and no doubt is entertained of his ultimate success. An express arrived, shortly before, from the camp of Maj. General Irwin, who commauds the 8th Div., stating that a Fori had been erected there, and that he had 500 men there under him. He was soar to be reinforced by > Reg't. irom the 4th Div. under charge of Brig. Gen. Moore; on the ariivnl of which, the Indians, it was thought, would be completely hemed up, and consequently be either forced to yield or be cut up. The arrival ot these companies from Brig. Gen. Brantey's Brigade, a Battalion of mounted gun Hen, from Maj. Gen. Patterson's Division, md a Battalion of mounted Riflemen from he 2d Div. was daily expected at Montgomery?a force deemed sufficient to resore tranquility to the "new countries."

AUGUSAIKC. By the schr. S. S. Mills, Capt. Soutii(vark, arrived yesterday, we have rcceiv. 2d the St. Augustine Herald of the 11th We liave been favored with the sight of i letter, from St. Augustine, dated 11th inst., received in this city, by the above arrival, from which wemake the following extract:?"An express from Fort Drane (General Clinch's plantation) came in here last night, and the report, to-day, is that the Indians hipd burned the General's Sugar Works. Oil the Sth inst., 15 to 200 Indians attacked Fort Mlcanopy, and were hotly received by Major IIeii.emas's command, 70 or SO men, who boldly sallied out, and fought and repelled the savages. Of the U. S. Troops, none were ? t - - ! l .t 1_ J. __ .u _ Killed, and nut o siignuy wounueu; on me Indian side, damage not ascertained, as thoy always, if possible, carry off their dead and wounded. Two companies ol Regulars started from this post to-day, foi IV^jcanopy and Fort J?rane. A company of mounted men, under Capt. Dummett, employed in scouring the country, fell in with an Indian trail, nbout*20 miles South of St. Augustine. The Indians had driven a large quantity of cattle across Pallacer's bridge, and then destroyed it. During the night one of (he sentinels tired at an Indian, as he supposed. The Indians immediately gave their war-hoop, fired their guns aud retreated. I hear thai Gen. Ecstis is going on to Charleston and thai Gen. Clinch will take the command here." A postscript to the same letter, dated the 12th, adds: "Col. Humphries informs rne that another express arrived last night from Fort Diane, stating thai the company of Dragoons at Oaklands, (McIntosh's place) had abandoned the Fort, the Indians having burnt the Sugai Works. About 70 hhds. of sugar had been previously secured in the Fort, and in some cornhouses outside. The Dra goons had gone to Fort Drane, and the probability is that by this tiinethe Fori and sugar will have been destroyed." From the St. Augussine Herald, Juno 11. Attack upon Micanopy by the Indians.? An express arrived in town last night, from Mi canopy, with the intelligence thai that place had been attacked on the 8th inst. l>v 150 or 200 Indians. The attack took place at noon. Maj. Heileman, who had just arrived there a few hours previuos, with a part of two companies, had sent an express to Oakland. [M'lntosh's] who shortly afterwards returned, stating that he had seen a large number ol Indians on the. road advancing on towards Micanopv. Soon after they came up, and commenced firing at the Fort a long distance off. Maj. Heileman, with a part ot Capt Landrum's and Drane's companies, with a piece of artillery, and a few dragoons amounting in all to about 75 men sallied out and attacked them in front with the artillery, and on both flanks, with the other troops, and succeeded in beating them oil, after an action of an hour and v half. The loss on our side 5 wounded ; among the latter one officer (Lt. Lee.) The Indians succeeded 'in carrying oil their dead, so that they could not be ascertained. The above are all the particulars we hnve been able to procure. An express is hourly expected from Micanopv, which will bring some further information from that quarter. The post at Oakland has been ordered to be abandoned imm cdiately. Capt. Dimick's and Lieut. Irwin's com panics have been ordered to Fort Drane from this post. The former started at ? o'clock. The latter has boeH engaged ir scouring the country between this und Picolata during the past week, piid will Join Capt. Diniick at Picolata, arid both proceed on to Fort Drane immediately. A company of mounted volunteer^ arrived here early in tho woek under the. ?om. inand of Capt. Currv. They were mustered into service for six months. They will be engaged in scouring the country aboul trie vicinity of Mandarin. > COMMERCIAL RECORD. PRICES CURRENT. JUNE 20. .
