of Newtown pippin*, embracing the best of the
crop, will be *ont out this fall. One firm already
ha* contract* for England to the amount of six
thousand barrela. Shipment* thi* year have com

ceived in market up to the l«t of liecember, of
the varietio* mentioned, will be readily pur
chased, to send oif. In packing, each apule is
rolled up separately In paper, which absorbs moli

the Chatnps Eh nt-es, may be seen a pair of boantt
ful bay horses attached to a lino carriage, ia which

Condition of the Ohio River.—The Cin
cinnati Fries Current thus speaks of what is now
erroneously styled the Ohio river:
"The Ohio river is lower, we are told, than at
any former period withia the memory of that cel
ebrated individual, 'the oldest inhabitant' It is
so low and insignificant that but for its antecedents
it would not be called a river. It is fordable at
various points abeve and below the city, and, dro
ves of cattle are being driven across opposite
Western row. Steamboat navigation is wholly
suspended, and barges have been introduced, by
which freight is forwarded to JLouisviile and other
down river points. .

petse for repairs, etc , of $7,(>{(0,000 —of which sum
it is calculated tbat at least one-third, or $2,560,-
000, might be saved by laws prohibiting domestic
animals, and especially hogs and sheep, from run
ning at large.
A Great Day's Work.—The Messrs. McGrew,
at Lexington, Mo., have informed the Cincinnati
(Ohio) Times, tbat seven boys and one man in

Rather Bmall Business.—Tbe tam demand
ed by ltnssia from France for damage done to tbe
palace of the Russian Ambassador, in Constan
tinople, was #1,900, and not 8«0,000, as first re
ported. The French General paid it without a
word of demur.
Singular Puenomknoh.—Late French papers
state that on the night of the 23d ult., an im
niense cloud of email white moths burst over the
town of Rouen, and completely covered the
ground in a few seconds
Prolific.—About three weeks ago, a Mrs

Tho Executive Committee of the Sen Franclteo
VI gilt nee Committee ta clotng their labor*, have Is
sued m address to their fellow mem ben. After re
hearsing the cause* wlltch brought the organixa
tlon Into exigence, they end as follows:
The aggregation and discipline of a large military
* n, *"n« of prudence and nscesnlty —
i. mt* ** of the community required
overwhelming power a bloody
wane would have been forced upon you. By lu
strength and perfection tho exertion* of your

kAj ould h,ve bee *> accomplished without
th^fJf m % v^ e^ mined y° nr » ellr e» to avoid
® ""eedlng of blood, you made no attack upon
your foe, until tbey took the field against you.
. rogues remain unpunished, and some high
in position. Tbey ean hope for no immunity in the
adjournment of the Committee The eye of Viiii
,hem' Tbe #word of jo*tics is yet
suspended over theui; other modes of punishment
are la reserve for tbeia. The vigilance of tbe
wnoi* community in respect to crime and tbe abuse
or office bas been awakened, its moral sense and
intellect are quickened, Iniquity, hitherto disguis
ed with fsscinating mask, stands exposed in hide
ous deformity. You have demolished tbe fortress
of crime and oorrnpiion, and have scattered its
garribin to tbe four winds.
The archives of the Committee contain a large
amount of testimony which its session has aecu
mulated. and which can be hereafter used in the
punishment and prevention of criiac and political
abuses, by tbe employment of those ordinary rem
edies which hitherto have proved inoperative
You will now adjourn. Von wiil mingle once
more with eitinens, without the distinctive charac
ter of Vigilanta. Let us. then, fraternise with
those goo 1 citizens who have honestly differed
from ns. liOt us unite vigorously and generously
la those measures of public good upon which all
the patriotic and honest agree. It is the duty of
god citizens to quiet popular excitement. At the
same time a manly vindication of your past course
is incumbcnt upou you wben occasion arises You
were not assembled to subvert laws, but to main
tain the people's rights. Justice demanded of her
devoted adherents that vindication which the
usurpers of her throne had denied her. You have
dispersed the pestilent vapors which eclipsed her,
and once more ber benignant vision smiles upon
tbe people. The great heart of the people, long
despairing and inert, has been aroused to gene
rous and healthy action.
i he people have found that tbey are not power
less under tbe rule of crime. Mighty bas been
tbe demonstration of tbe mind and voice of an
awakened public in a great moral conflict Let
this moral power, vane and terrible when fully
aroused, complete the work which your hands
have begun Aid it with your hearts and hands!
Aid it by your example, your voice, your votes!
Aid it in tbe jury box—at the polls—by your dai
ly life and conversation—by tbe public press—bj
tbe pen, which is mightier than the sword. Let
not the good work flag. Remember that "Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty." Be vigilant in
bringing criminals to justice. See to it that the
courts and tbe officers of the law do their daty —
Aid them in the execution of that duty; and in the
unswerving integrity of manly and honest hearts,
looking to that Providence who has guided you
in doubt and danger, who bat brought your labors
to a successful result imay you ever adhere to
the true principle of vigilance, sustaining the
iaws when rightly administered, and government
when faithful to tbe people, and the supremacy of
the peeple as the source of government and law.
DESTITUTE CONDITIO!* OV KANSAS EMIGRANTS-
The Petersburg Express has a letter frem one of
the Virginia emigrants in Kansas, stating that times
are very bard, the winter fast approaching, and
there are many destitute of any prospect of bra
ving its severity in their present penniless condi
tion. All tbe fighting had been stopped by the ac
tive measure* of Gov. Geary. It woald be well
for subscriptions to be taken up te aid these South
erners now in the territory. The Missouri Republi
can describes the difference between going and re
turning emigrants :
Tbey were then in companies of hundreds; thsy
had ftmily circles, and looked happy ; tbey took quar
ters in the cabins of steamboats, and partook of tbe
luxury of repose and a plenteous table. They were
thrifty looking emigrants, who would do honor to any
new country.
We now see them in squads of tens and twenties
crippled, siokly and apparently poverty stricken
crowded upon the decks ef steamboats, almost beg
ging their way back to tbe homes they left but a few
months before And civil war in Kausae has wrought
all this misebief— doomed many a hopeful h&art to
d' spair and death, and embittered the lives of hun
dreds more whoae piteoas stories the world will never
know.
The steamer New Lucy, from St. Joatph. la»t eve
oing brougnt down thro* or four families of th«s»
peepls, native! of Kentucky. They had travelled
from Kauaae to Jeiferson City on foot, having loft the
Territory to lave their Uvea, aud being afraid te ap
proaca the river at a nearer- landing, Test their pro
greae ebould be luteroapced. They were deatitate
when they reached JatFersen City, having itareely
any clotQing. and not the wherewithal te boy food. —
Una woman bad nothing on her persjn but a tattered
under gariueat and a blanket, and aeveral othcri of
the company were in little better condition. They
all loosed aickly and dispirited, and made a touching
tab eau of misery and deapair.
Republican Ticket in Virginia.—The Wells,
burg (Ya.) Herald publishes the following Electo
ral Ticket, adopted by the Republican Convention
at Wheeling (Ya ) a few days since:

shall fall to make a choice on the day aforesaid,
then the electors may be appointed on a subset
quent day, in sneh a manner as the State shall by

Peculiar Owe—Attempt ta Bribe a fritiiest.—Tbe
examination of Clinton James, a free negro, charg
ed with permitting an aniawful assembly of 35 ne
groea upon his premises, on the 231 of September
and with retailing ardent spirits without a license
took place before the Mayor yesterday. The prin
cipal witness for tho prosecution was a negro nam
ed Wm Scott, who stated that he went to James'
house on the evening alluded to, for the purpose
of adjusting some matter of business, and there
saw a large number of colored persona drinking
and 'sky-larking." and that he joined in the festiv
ities. Uae of tbe incidents which he described wat
the establishment of a mock court, before which
all those who seemed disposed to exhibit any fa
miliarity with a negro woman present, ware
arraigned, and, on conviction, compelled to "treat"
the party. A white man in tbe house, for some
raut;e whiuhdid not plainly appear from the testi
mony, became oiiended with Scott, and threw a cup
at his head, injuring him badly; and this witness
declared that while he was lying senseless from the
cfi.:cts ol the blow, he was robbed of some $17 or
•Its in money. Subsequently, he was advised to
report James for the offences charged in tbe war
rant, as the host method of obtaining justice for
himself, and hence tbe complaint.
Several no;ro witnesses were examined, but
their testimony was quite contradictory Scott
had caused a little white boy, named Frank Jack
ton, to be summoned as a witness in his behalf but
when he was called to the stand be could not be
found in tbe court room. It was then suggested at
a probability tbat he had been induced by some
triend of James to go away; and a police officer
was sent to find tbe lad, and bring him back, lie
wat discovered near the house of his and
required to return with tbe officer. He came into
the room crying bitterly, and when asked why ho
was thus affected, replied that he did not want to
tell a lie; that he had been promised a reward of
nfty cents, by Bill Scott, to come and testify in th«
cat?, while he really knew nothing about it.and did
not even know where Clinton James lived, until
informed by Scott.
Upon hearing this statement, the Mayor caused
Scott to be taken into custody, and postponed the
further investigation of tbe (matter until to-day.
This res .ill was probably quite unexpected to this
negro. If proved guilty ot this grave offence, it is
to be hoped that be will be made an example of.
Criminal Catts to be Tried.—We append a list
of felony case 3 to be tried before the Circuit Court
during tbe approaching session. The array is one
of the most formidable on record, comprising over
three times as many cases at tbe docket last term,
and perhaps the ratio of increase over any pre
vious term is quite as great. It appears to new hat
likely tbat tbe number of convicts in the peniten
tiary will be consideiably augmented this fall by
the Richmond delegation.

The Yeli.ow fever in Brooklyn'.—Among
ttie burials which took place in Brooklyn, on Snn
•day, were Mrs. Spenser and son in one hearse
from No. 18 Cottage Row, Fnrman street. Miss
■Owen, daughter of Mr. Owen, foreman in the glaa«
works, was buried on the previous day. They all
•flied of yellow fever. The New York Journal oi
Cemmercs say«:
The yellow fever has thus far found most of Its
▼ietims in Furman steeet, just beneath the Heights,
between Wall street and Fulton Ferries, which is
one of the moat filthy part* of the city, and inhab
ited by a low population. It is not in the nature of
tbe disease to prevail extensively on high ground,
and the physici ns in Brooklyn regard the city as
•quite healthy, ualess a small district on Joralemon
street be excepted. Aboat fifty families ia thai
neighborhood have removed.
Dr. McPhail, who his bad much experience ia the
treatment ef Yellow fever, says that there is good
ovideaee that this disease has swept off nambera
of victims for some time past In different qaarters
of New York and Brooklyn, more particularly ia
• those parts adjacent to the water; bat that loss ol
1 life from this cause may bo easily avoided, nader
' proper traatmeat. * * * * £ r . MePhail says
that for prudential reasons the tacte as to the ex
tent of mortality from yellow fever, in this vicini
ty have not been fully communicated. As for bim
aelf, he has not yet reported-any cases of this dis
■ease {ts required by the law relating to contagions
-and infections disease*; for, aot regarding the yel
low fever as of tbis character, he felt exempt from
any obligations to do so. This is In conformity
with the testimony of Dr. Wendell, President <>t
tbe Brooklyn Board of Health, wbo on being inter
rogated, said that "it was wall understood amongst
the profession that almost all tbe oases reported ar
congestive, bilious congestive, bilious typhoid, and
biliousicnitent fever, were <&/oc<o cases ofytlow
fever.
