WILLIAM JOHNSTON. of Hamilton county. FOR BOARD oTrXTJUC TVORKS, ALEXANDER & CONOVER, of Aufilaize county. To the Reader. ' With the present number, the sub scriber's interest .in, and connection with, the GaUipoli Journal, ceases. In retiring from the post I have occu pied for near twelve years, I cannot suffer the occasion to pass without ex pressing my acknowledgments to my friends and the patrons of the Journal, during that period, for their constant kindness and generous liberality.' As suming the control of the Journal with moderate expectations and promises, I hare no disappointments to complain of or excuses to offer. That 1 have some times come short of my whole duty, neither riolates any promise or disap points any expectation of mine. But the past is before you the faults you have generously overlooked, and the merits overvalued. Again I thank you. I recommend Mr. Harper to the pa trons of the Journal as a gentleman every way worthy of the position he assumes. Asa persevering and inde fatigable mechanic, he has few equals. Of the wants and expectations of the readers of the Journal, he will rapidly inform himself. He is a sound and re liable Whig. Let the Whigs of Gallia county see that he is properly sustained. I believe he will recommend himself, to all by his industry and fidelity. With the kindest wishes for all with whom my connection with the Journal has made me an associate, I take my leave of a newspaper life and turn my attention to other pursuits. WILLIAM NASH. To the Public. The above card of our late associate leaves the undersigned but a word to ay, and that in regard to the future. In the discharge of the responsibility he has assumed, it shall be his constant and zealous effort to meet the just ex pectation of the community within the sphere of the Journal's influence. It is his desire to render his paper of real and permanent value to the citizens of Gallia county. Claiming no exemption from those frailties which flesh is heir to, he will at times need the charitable judgments of friends. But he pledges his best judgment, his industry and con. tinued labor to the business he now en ters upon. The Journal shall continue to advo cate and sustain Whig principles, Whig measures and Whig men. Their ad vocacy is predicated upon a sincere be lief in their correctness, and that they are essential to a safe and sound ad ministration of public affairs. It is those Whig principles and that Whig party which are as broad as the Union, and as lasting as the Constitution. Neither factions or sections shall the Journal advocate; for Whig principles, when strictly applied and honestly ad hered to, prevent the necessity of either, and preserve us one and inseperable He will aim to deserve, and hopes to receive the support of Gallia county Whigs. f While the political complexion of the Journal will be decidedly Whig, the undersigned hopes to make it accepta ble to, and worthy of the support of every citizen within the sphere of its circulation. The facilities for trans mitting news are now so great, that he can safely promise his readers the la test intelligence. It will be his pleas ure and desire to promote, as far as the influence of his paper may extend, the permanent interests of the people cf Gallia county. Looking to them for his support, their interests and his are identical. Trusting that all will extend to him their aid, when his labors shall tend to the benefit of all, and that our acquaintance may be a long and plea sant one, he makes his bow and com mences his duties.

Robihson, from this countv, dated "Doer Creek Dry Diggins," California, June 9thv Mr. R. had been quite successful for a few weeks previous, but does not write encouragingly of the certainty of for tune making in California. He says: "1 have not been among the fortunats ones since I came to the mines farther than the enjoyment of good health. I have saved enough this spring to take me home, if I make no more, which is more than four-fifths of the population of California can say. You may work hard all the season, and make nothing, and the next week thousands. I made fifty-six dollars per day last week, but may not make fifty all of next I know many hard woiking men who have been in the m ines for months, and have not two oz. in their purse. I see by accounts from the States that the people are wild with excitement about California, and are coming in masses. They had better stay at home, and if they are really desirous of try ing their luck, spend their money in lottery tickets, and they will stand about as good a chance for drawing a prize." .

Tvi ; itti from Saturday next is the tine yaihed by the Whig Central Committe for ths selection of dele gates in the several townships to the Congressional and ' Legislative Con ventions. The importance of these meetings must be apparent. Men should be selected who will be certain to at tend. ' The other counties, at least so far as we have noticed, have called county conventions, and will select their delegates in county meeting; of course none but such as will be pre sent will be appointed. Let the Whigs of Gallia county bo present by their full number of delegates. True, if all are not present the bal ance may cast the vote of absen tees or fill vacancies. But this has always and ever will be used by the disaffected, as an excuse for rebellion and open opposition. Let every delegate bo present, see that all is fairly "done and then go home, tell his neighbors that their preferences have fairly carried the day, or been fairly voted down, and we shall alt feel better satisfied and go more zealously to work to secure the election of the nominees. The ratio agreed upon by the sev eral counties, and upon which the apportionment of delegates in town ships is predicated by the committee, is one-delegate for every 100 Whig votes cast at the Governor's election in 1848, and one for every fraction over 50. We ask our friends through the county to send us the. names of the delegates for publication. From Washington. There has been no decisive vote taken in the Senate yet upon the Compromise bill.' Why don't Con gress settle this controversy? Why don't they take a vote upon it? These are questions that are being asked every day.

But it would seem that members should have availed themselves of ail the aids to an honest opinion, during the long time the subject has been before them. We are hot of those who be lieve there is a disposition anong Northern men to procrastinate the matter in order the better to prepare the public mind of the Free States for any desertion of principles hitherto believed and acted upon by the great mass of the people.

" The Baltimore Patriot of the 25th says: We have nothing authentic, of the filling of the place in the Cabinet, made vacant by tbe declination of Mr. Pearce, for though there has been no official announcement of his declination, we have every reason to believe that his determination is fixed, not to leave the Senate at this criiis.- Although we have dates from Washington up to Saturday, yet we see no one named tor the post as signed to Mr. Pearce.

It is a general observa tion, indeed, among those of us who have been forty years familiar with hisoratory, that this veteran states man has, in his speeches at the pres ent session of Congress, surpased even his ancient fame as a powerful, impassioned, and impressive debater. Henry Clay at 73. The Great Storm. We copy the following heart ren ding pat ticulars of the great storm in N. Y., from the Tribunes DEATH OF S. MARGARET FULLER. A great bereavement has befallen us. Our friend and correspondent (), S. Margaret Fuller, Countess Ussoli, with her husband and child, (the lat ter about two years old, were all drowned in the great storm of Thurs day and Friday last, by which .the brig Elizabeth, wherein they had ta ken passage at Leghorn for this City, was wrecked on Fire Island and at last entirely broken up and washed in pieces, in the course of Friday. The mate in command (the captain having died of small-pox at Gibralter) with seven of the crew, swam ashore .before the vessel broke op, or were washed ashore at the time; we be lieve all the passengers (five) were drowned. Among them was a young Roman lady, about 22 years of age, who had previously lived in this City We believe the captain's widow was on board, but are not certain. Our lamented friend was drowned in the forecastle befoie the vessel went to pieces; her husband and child were lost at that time. The child's body soon washed ashore, but lite was hopelessly extinct; the bodies of nei ther the Count or Countess had been found when our letter was written We presume, however, they have been ere this. This calamity falls upon us with almost stunning effect, though we have been apprehending some disas ter since witnessing the violence of the storm on Thursday night. Cur friend and correspondent had been absent from our city about four years, having travelled through Great Brit am, France, 5tc, and spent more than three years in Italy, where she married and became a mother. She threw her whole soul into the strug gle of Italy for political and social regeneration, animated herdelenders by voice and pen, and ministered to the wounded patriots in the llosps tals, during the terrific siege and bombardment of Rome by Oudinot, under the orders of the miscreant who has vaulted by treachery to the summit of power in trance Alter the surrender of Kome, our friend with ber husband and child, removed to Florence, where they have since lived in retirement. Her spirits hardly recovered Irom the depression caused by the wreck of Italy's hopes. She has since written us quite sparingly, but has been en gaged on a general survey of the state of Italy prior to the great uprising with a history of the eventlul though unfortunate struggle. We trust her manuscripts have not been lost with her. OSWEGO, Friday, July 19. Storm and Freshet in the Sus quehanna Valley. A storm is up on us unparalled in -wild fury. Yes terday at 10 o'clock A. M. the rain began to fall without wind or thun der, in gentle abundance. The moun tain torrents soon swelled, and the cansequence has been terrible. The crops along the flats of the river and the larger creeks are greatly injured and in some intervals entirely ruined The bridges on the New York and Erie Railroad, from Owego to Elmi ra, have been greatly injured, and several have been swept away. But this disaster need not impair the travel on this road, as passengers can take the Cayuga and Susquehanna Road and Cavuga Lake boats to the Northern or Auburn and Rochester Road and lose no time. 1 understand Irom the engineer that the Erie Road will be soon in repair; an efficient force having been already engaged by the Superinten dent of this division. The Susquehanna is not at its flood. It is therefore evident that this terri ble storm is confined in narrow lim its, extending, perhaps, not to exceed sixty miles east and west. Commu nication having been cut off, I am not wholly apprised of the amount of damage the flood has caused west ward. It must be, I think, very great along the rich valleys of the Susquehanna and Chemung rivers. The silkened and tassel led corn lies even with the ground, and my cherished peach tree, as if fainting, has fallen into the arms of a protec ting lilac The wind has been ter rific; stout old locusts, that have braved many a storm, have yielded to this furious tempest. Yours, &c., W. a Flood a the Mohawk. Valley, The -Albany Evening Journal of Saturday says: Copious showers of rain have fallen here, in the valley of the Mohawk and in the immediate vicinity of this city during the past forty-eight hours, which has caused a heavy flood. The river commenced rising yesterday. afternoon, but no fears were entertained, at that time, that the water would reach the top log On the dock, and but little, if any, property was removed. About ten o'clock the water commenced rising rapidly, and before midnight the oc cupants of warehouses on the dock and pier were . summoned to their business abodes to protect their pro perty, which ithey were obliged to remove to the. second loft and on boats. A large majority succeeded in removing their, goods before the water reached the first floor. A small quantity of lour waiVet on the pier, which is, as far as we could learn, the extent of the loss here. Early this morning a quantity of lumber was carried down the river; but since that time only an occasion al log has been seen. From day- ieht "until noon the water rose quite rapidly, averaging from two to four inches an hour, and was still rising when we left. Stato street Bridge could only be approached by boats and the entire dock was navigable for sloop yawls, and a portion of it for canal boats. At the foot or Hamilton street a floating bridge has been erected by which persons are enabled to get to and from the steamboats. The cel lars of all the buildings east of Broad way are filled with ' water, while those in the streets South of Hudson street are partially filled. A flood at this season, such as we are now experiencing, is a very un common occurrence in this vicinity. We are informed by a member of .'ff L one ot the old mercantile nouses, that in the month of August upwards of thirty years ago, a flood occurred here, when the waters rose to the height of several inches on the first floor of the stores on the dock, but that he never knew such a flood in the month of July, during a period of forty years. Fears are entertained here that the banks of the canal may have been washed awav, but we have made dili gent inquiry from passengers arriving from the west, and have as yet been unable to learn of any breaks. The waters of the Mohawk con tinued to lise rapidly until last eve ning. The banks of the river was overflowed with thousands of acres of the flats, IIlCll UCH VI -ui cras3 was swept awav, ana nmer . i . i crops extensively injured. It is so unusual to have a flood at tins season of the year, thatno one was pre Dared for it. Crops are destroyed or t ' n . . u:;.u u seriously injured on fields which had not been overflowed oeioie wunin the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Many of the small bridges on the turnpike are missing, as we'd as on the roads north of the valley. The Untied States Gazette of the 20th says the dirt on the track on the railroad was removed at 9, A. M., yesterday. Major Priest worked all night with 300 men, and nothing but his perseverance could have re moved the obstacle so rapidly. The damage to the property at the Falls is estimated at S5.0U0. There w as report at Rorktown.that the Canal had eivenway five miles below. All the trains due from the East, making 54 cars in all, arrived at 12, M., yesterday. Awful Fatality. We copy the following from the Rising Sun (la.) True Whig,ot the 20th ult.: A man from Pennsylvania, (name unknown) with a wile and six chil dren, left Cincinnati one day last week, in a skiff intending to go Madison and when arriving North Bend, his wife was taken with the cholera and died in a few hours, her husband nailing a rough box to gether and embedding it in the sand where he left her. On arriving Millersburg, a few miles below this place, nil of the children died but one, and were buried in a like man ner. The next day the father died, and was buried on a sand bar, by Fisherman. This completed the whole famil-, with the exception a cirl three or four years old, who is-now living with the Fisherman who buried her father. This is cer tainly one of the most remarkable cases of fatality .on record. The surviving girl is npt sufficiently ad vanced in years, to give an account of their origin or destination, the above being the history furnished our informant by the old man, pre vious to his death. rTTThe larger section of Table Rock still remains, with a broad crack across it, cradually widening, Some propose to hasten its fall with gunpowder. New Wheat. The steamer To bacco Plant, up yesterday from Cape Girardeau, brought over 1000 bush els of new. wheat. Two or three small lots were also received by the steamer Time and Tide and othei boats from above. Prices are still on the wane, and oUaoo. cents are now the highest rates paid for prime, Awful Fatality. St. Louis Repub., 17th. Choleba at BoKLUfGTOit.

Each dwelling is to them a suggestion; each bird s nest a stan ding admonition." Professor Webster's Death Warrant Signed. The Boston Transcript of Satur day afternoon says: . Professor Webster is said to have been fully prepared for the decision of the Executive- Council at-least when he learned it from the evening papers, he did not appear to bo dis appointed. His wife and three daughters, also Mr. Sohier, one of his Counsel, had an interview with him in jail yesterday. It Js understood that Professor Webster had expressed a wish that if he were to be executed, an early day might be nxed; and that his fam ily might be kept in ignorance of the rime. For-a. long time the family abstained from reading any newspa pers whatever. The prisoner was visited this morn ing by High Sheriff Eveleth, who found him calm and apparently re signed. Professor Webster . had probably long before abandoned all nope of the favorable action of the Governor and Council. His Excel lency, the Governor, has fixed his signature to the death warrant, which has been duly transmitted to the High Sheriff. The Journal says that Prof-W.'s family had not, when they visited him, on .Saturday, learned of the de- j-cision against him. The Cabinet. i a to at at a of The following letter from Wash ington we cut from the N. Y. Tri- bune: Wasiii.ngtos, Saturday, July 20. . The announcement of the Cabinet by wires will have shown you how wide of the mark were those who appeared the wisest in knowledge . , ... . ,,- , . fore the names were sent into the Senate the Cabinet was not final ly agreed upon. As arranged this f. .f V T ..... lo have gone into the Treasury, and Mr. Vinton of Ohio, into the Depart- ment of the Interior. Hut another attempt at persuasion was made up on Corwin, and about lU or.lock this morning he yielded to the im portunities of friends, both of the North and the South, and consented to go into the Treasury. In a per sonal and pecuniary point of view, Mr. Corwin has made a sacrifice that the world can be little aware of; and it was only when assured that the pood of the country and the great interest of the Whig party de 'manned it. did he surrender to nis friends. There were no two per sons more anxious that Mr. Corwin should go into the Cabinet than were Messrs. Webster and Berrien. To me it appears as though the construc tion of the Cabinet might have been strengthened bv assigning Mr. Bates of Mo., to the departrnent of the In terior, and Mr. Pearce of Md., to that of the War. The former Depart ment embraces nil the great Wes erh interests, and it would have been peculiarly t roper that a Western man should have been placed at the head of it. For that post no better or more capable person could have been selected in the whole West than the Hon. Edwd. Bates, who one of the purest and best men living. I am of the opinion that this change will vet be made, The selection of Mr. Hall for Post Master General was due to the great EmpireState, whoseclaimshave been heretofore too snghtly passed over, It was also due to the President, that one member of his cabinet at least, should be an intimate, personal and confidential friend, in whom he could confide as in a brother. All this he finds in Mr. Hall, who will make as acceptable a Post-Master-General, have no doubt, as the country has ever had. Mr. Hall was sustained by most, if not all the Whig delega tion in Congress in your State. We have now a thoroughly Whig ad ministration, and the country will soon begin to feel the effects ol it. Geo. S. Fisher, Esq., late Commis sion Clerk in the State Department, will act as Private Secretary to the President, until his son arrives, who will thereafter fill the confidential post. Mathew St. Clair Clark, learn, will receive the appointment of Private Secretary to the President for signing Land Patents, which du ty is at present discharged by Thom as Ewing, Jr., who desires to return West with his lather s lamily. John A. Collier will in all probability be offered the place of Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury, which was to have been filled by Mr. Hall, previous to its being determined upon to put him in the cabinet. . . .
