The present democratic administration de
serves and receives the most cordial approval
of all -fair-minded men for the integrity and
honesty displayed in its management of the
finances of the country. In this crisis, when
corruption is running riot, it is a matter of just
pride among democrats that those to whom
they have committed the helm of State and the
guardianship of the treasury have shown them
selves men of incorruptible purity. There is
not a blot or blemish upon the skirts of Franklin
Pierce or any member of his cabinet in tin's re
spect. Their reputations all stand unassailed
and unassailable. Newark Eagle.
A VobuxTEEit Balloonist. Professor Elliott
advertised to make a balloon ascension at Rich
mond on Thursday afternoon. After the balloon
was inflated, a man named Carrier -requested
the Professor to allow him to ascend the length
of a'fcord attached to the balloon, to which he
at length consented, and Carrier ascended some
fifteen or twenty feet. To the surprise of every
body he then drew a knife and cut one of the
cords and immediately severed the other, and
rapidly rose, waving his hat, amid the hisses
and shouts ot the crowd, .hduott was so much
excited that he swooned away. When or how
Carrier will come down is beyond any power to
say. More fears are entertained for the safety
of the balloon than the ' JEronaut. We gather
the above from the , Richmond' correspondence

Peize Fight. There was a brutal affair
called a prize fight, between Tom liver and an
Irishman named McGowan, near St. Louis, on
yesterday week.
The Democrat minutely describes the rounds,
G4 iu all, and concludes thus:
"64 Tom got two random shots on the mouth,
and in endeavoring to rally pnt in a foul blow.
A claim of foul was immediately made by Mac's
friends Tom's yielded. The umpires deciding
that Mac was eutitled to the wager of $3,000.
This was urobablv one of the finest exhibi
tions of fistiami that ever took place in the
United States or Canada. Roth parties exhi
bited the highest game qualities."

the usual form, previous to the celebration of
marriage." The time and conditions of the
grand jubilee are made known. Time from
November 1854 to 1st February 1855. Con

Prtissia. Great anxiety exists at
Franklin PieWe and the Coalition.
The doctrines and the successes-of the pres
ent combination of isms do not excite much joy
in any quarter. The New York Herald is one
of the few who sec any cause for congratulation
iu present political prospects. This was to be
expected. The Herald, like many others, is
rejoicing over the victories of a coalition of in
tolerance and abolition, it is in a good degree
rejoicing over its own professions. It only sees
uiai uiese victories may prove to oe an annoy-
ance to President Pierce. It is blind to all
other anticipations save that which may prove
calamitous to the general administration. The
spectacle of corrupt and riotous fanaticism, so
alarming to all true friends of the Union, and
the fearful fact of the people of the Southern
States arousinsr and armiusr themselves for a
war of sections, receives little of the attention
of the Herald, excites no interest iu its bosom,
so long as there is a chance of heaping difii-
culties upon President Pierce.
We almost thank that journal, however, for
this frank disclosure pf its policv. It gives us
an opportunity to speak that we have earnestly
desired. President Pierce and his administra
tion will meet any new crisis without flinching
which present affairs may precipitate upon the
country. Happy for the country will it prove
that at a period in our history more pregnant
of evil than any other which it has seen in fifty
years, Franklin Pierce is at the helm. Faction
and fauaticism may rule the hour in certain
States, but while we have him for Chief Magis
trate they will toil in vain to accomplish their
hellish purposes. Even those who have aided
to build up the coalition of intolerance and of
proscription will at last thank him for his manly
resistance of their doctrines. There is not an
intelligent man in either the North or the South
who will not admit that the aspects of the fu
ture forbode great perils to our beloved country.
Never before has abolitionism assumed a bolder
or more treasonable tone. Never have revolt
ing and revolutionary doctrines been more
arrogantly defended, and never have the notori
ous enemies of the constitution been more con
fident of success. In such an exigency as this,
how long would that barrier against tyranny
resist the encroachments of abolitionism, if snch
a man as Franklin Pierce were not President
of the United States? Take any one of the
favorites of the new coalition over which the
Herald rejoices, and put him into that high
office, and the demands of that monstrous or
ganization would be consummated. The fla-
trrant avowal that no- more States shall be ad
mitted into the Union with slavery te -ognised
in their constitutions, solemnly made by the
whig party of fifteen or sixteen Statts of this
Union, and claimed to be sustained by recent
results, would be carried into effect if there
were not such men as Franklin Pierce to say
"thus far shalt thou go, an-d no further here
shall th7 proud wave be stayed. The moment
this monstrous proposition is carried into effect
the worst fears of the patriot will be realized.

VOLUME XV NO. 819.
Revolutionary Inrldrnt. Wm. Cnmmlna & other?.
From 'The Old JS'oHh state in i77(i,"Ay Caruthers.
Towards the close of the vear list), probably
in the month of December, William Cutnmings,
John Faddis and William Crabtree, citizens of
Hillsborough, went oitt one morniug before
day on a fox hunt, and to avoid as niueh as
possible the danger of falling into the hands of
enemies, they went into a section, six or eight
miles east or northeast from the village, where
the people were nearly all in favor of indepen
dence; for, at that time, when tlie Tories were
nearly everywhere so impudent and so confident
of suecess, sueh a small party could not go
into any otlier-lhan a whig neighborhood with-
out running a great risk of being killed or taken
pi toners, uuie after sunrise, heutg very
cold and huujrrv." thev concluded thev would
call at the house pf Thomas Conch, to warm
tUsjnselves and get something to cat! As Couch
was wcirtrrtltratiiteil -'4frhewy.al&wttfeal a.
good friend to hi country, he received them
kindly and treated them as well as he could.
Having attended to their horses and given di
rections for breakfast, he asked them to walk
with him to his hog-pen, a hundred or a hundred
and fifty steps from the luouse, and see his hogs
that he had put np fattening for his winter's
meat. Faddis and Crabtree accepted the in
vitation; but Cnmmings thought he would be
more comfortable by the fire; and, as the female
part of the family were out in the kitchen pre-
j paring breakfast, he was left for the time being,
to amuse himself with his own meditations on
the forthcoming breakfast or anything else he
chose.
There was a man living in the neighborhood,
two or three miles off, by the name of Jake
liracken, who was a zealous royalist, and was
always ready to -improve any opportunity that .
occurred for aiding the cause of his master. He
had come over that morning either incidentally
or on an errand, or, more probably, had been
sneaking about to see what discoveries he could
nrake. They were all of them well and inti
mately acquainted with Bracken, or had been
before such an animosity existed between the
royalists and the friends of liberty. Though
unobserved himself, and perhaps had studious'y
kept himself out of view, he had been where he
saw the fox hunters when they arrived, and
could also perceive how many went to the-hogpen,
and how many remained. Determined to
improve the opportunity of doing something
that would recommend him to the royal favor,
he entered the house very slily, and stepping
up softly to Cumniings, who was sitting with
his back towards the door and his face to the
fire apparently absorbed in his own sage rcilce
tions and not dreaming of any danger, laid his7
hand on his shoulder, and saying as lie did so,
"you are my prisoner, sir, and you must come
along with me forthwith." Cumniings, who was
a man of a ready turn and a very jocose dispo
sition, looiYed up at him, not at all disconcerted,"
and said to him . with a pleasant laugh, "why
Jillvir, Jtm m-nr. lv jUutj(f .1 U utit had 0l
breakfast yet, and I cannot go without that !'f
There was no time to be lost, and he replied!
with an air of positiveness which left no room
to doubt. No, William, you know me well
enough not to indulge any such thought. I am
not joking but in good, solid earnest, and you
must come along at once, without a moment's"
delay or hesitation." "Very well," said Cum
mings, "if I must "go, let us be off;" and, so. say
ing, he arose briskly to his feet and started
along with him or' close behind; but recollect
ing at the lucky nVonieiit, that when he went .
into the house, he had hung his hunting horn
to a nail outside of the doorpost, ami as he
stepped over the threshold, he jerked that
down, and putting it to. his mouth, gave it a
few blasts, toote, facte, tootk, which roused up
the hounds, from their slumbers in the corners
of the fence, and in a minute, or less, they all
came yelping around him, as much as to .say
"We are at your service, sir, and would be
glad to have an opportunity of doing some
thing right clever before we go home." The
men at the hog-pen, concluded from the sound
of the horn, so earnest and qniefcry repeated,-"
that there must be something in the wind, ami
they came with all possible expedition; but
when the dogs came up, expressing such hearty
good will to do the bidding of their master,
Jake, found hiuvself iu rather a "bad box," and
took "to his scrapers," down the lane. He had
not gone many rods, however, when Cumniings
gave the hounds the signal, and the whole pack
iftcr bmr, opemng altogether as if they
were witnin a lew jumps ot a run down lox,
and stimulated to the utmost of their speed by
the well-known voice of their master. Mr Cum
niings always loved to tell this anecdots, especial
ly when in company with his friends, or when
he got in the spirit of talking with one about r
revolutionary times, and he would generally
add, that it was the finest race lie ever saw, un
til Jake had to take a tree at the end of tlicr
lane, where the dogs kept him as safe as a coon,
until the men came up. He was then taken ;
prisoner, earrieMo Hillsborough, and lodged ift -jail.
Without adopting the old Latin maxim,,
that "fortune favors the brave," we may say
that a kind Providence favors the good, op
those who are heartily engaged in a good cause,
and tin important lesson may be read all
through the history of the revolutionary wr,
in characters too legible to be mistaken, and in
the minutest as well as in the most important
events.
Cost of Public Worship. It is estimated
that the current expenses of the churches of Bos.
ton will amouut to 240,000 a year. The valise
of the church estates is about 4,000,000. Tfc
expenses of the different societies vary front
$1,500 to $5,500 a year. The cost of public
worship in the churches occupied by the wealth
icr portion of the citizens will average about
$100 a Sunday. The clergyman has a salary
of $3,000, the music costs about $1,000 ami
the miscellaneous expenses will be from $1,04X)
to $1,500 a year.
Dr. Hush says that tlie exercise of the organs of
tlie breast by singing, contributes to defend
them very much from those diseases to which
the climate ambother causes expose them. The
Germans are seldom afflicted with consumption,
and spitting of blood is almost unknown among
them a fact attributed by Dr. Rush, in part,
to the strength which their lungs acquire by
exercising them so frequently in vocal music,
which constitutes an esseutial branch of their
education, from their earliest Years.
