New Orleans, February 10, 1356.
Mr. Editor.? Yesterday was a great day
in New Orleans, it was a day long to be
remembered -by the citizens oi the city and
overy one else within its corporate limits.
Yesterday, the 9 h ol February, was the
inauguration ol (..'lark Mills equestrian
statue of G neial Jackson, erected to per
petuate tl?e memory of the "Hero of New
Orleans" who, by his daring deeds, sou
rage and patriotism, saved the city from
the awful doom that awaited it; and who,
for the eminent services rendered his
country, so well deserves a fitting em
blem, to be looked upon by generations
vet unborn, as a monument to commem
orate his memory.
The statue is a beautiful piece of me
chanism, of bronze, colossal size, and rep
resents "the sa?io?-.r of New Orleans,"
in full military oostume, on the back ol a
inagirficent w^r-cha^ger, in the act of re
view. rhi*l monument, dedicated to the
memory i>i "the sage ol the Hermitage '
reflects immeasurable credit aliUe to the
ckiUful artist CI aik MiMs and the Cres
ont city. It is located in the heart of the
city, iu Jackson square, a square nameu
in honor to the great Cap'ain, with the
old Cathedral, Spanish and French Court
houses on one side, and on the other the
4* Father ol wate rs" Hows gracefully along.
It is the best and most appropriate place
it could have been put upon, for it stands
on the identical spot where Jackson was
received by the citizens after the battle
of the glorious 8th. Never before, in the
annals of great days, did the good people
of New Orleans witness such a granJ and
imposing display as was presented yes- (
terday. A procession was formed on C a- ^
nal street, consisting ol the Military ol the
city, and all the different kinds of Socie
ties? benevolent, charitable, commercial
and mechanical, from Free Masons to i
Firemen, including the boys ol the public
schools and of the Orphan Asylum. I
could not help but notice the vast differ
ence of decorum between the two classes >
of boys : the former were very noisy and
incorrigible, shouting bravely lor 'Sam;" i
whilst the latter behaved in an humble and ,
becoming manner, and were as "mute as ,
inice." , . 0 1
Members of both branches of the State . (
Legislature were in procession, also the ,
old^grey haired veterans? white and black
of 1814 and '15, participated in the in
teresting ceremonies ; and they bore the
veritable flag? now all "tattered and toin
?that floated in the breeze on the 8th oi
January ? that day so dear to the hearts of*
the American people, when Andrew Jack
son, with a small levy of raw recruits, re
pulsed an insulting Foreign loe,and ac hie
ved one of the greatest victories recorded
in History. And ever and anon, as these
veterans marched along, would they lilt
up their almost tearful eyes to that banner
which so many pleasant recollections clus
ter around. .
Gov. Wickliffe, in full uniform, andj
staff, participated in the ceremonies, as
also did Hen. Twiggs, aad stall, of the
II. S. Army. All nature seemed to lend
a helping hand to the occasion ; the day
itself was one of surpassing loveliness,
not a cloud in the sky to cast the least
shadow of gloom ; all was bright and
beautiful. r
On Canal street, and along the route ol
the Procession, the balconies, windows
and doors were crammed full of the "gen
tler sex," waving their handkerchicls and j
bestowing their sweet smiles upon the liv
ing panorama of Patriotism as it moved
along. . , (
It would amount to mere vanity and al
fectation in me, were I to attempt to g've,
anything like an adequate description^
suffice it to say it was really magnificent.
Jackson square was filled to its utmost
capacity ; and the steeple of the Cathe
dral, windows and doors of all the adj a-,
cent houses presented a splendid array ol
Creole beauty, who seemed to take a par
ticular delight in the affair.
L. J. Sigur, the accomplished editor ol
the Daily Helta, was chosen the orator ol
the day, and he delivered a splendid ad
dress, replete with Historical events in
the life of lien. Jackson. In concluding
his oration and thanking the patriotic pro
jeetors of the woik, he beautifully said :
"New Orleans may now cast away the
weeds of her widow-hood! The dead
soldier of the Hermitage has thrown aside
the cerements of the tomb, and is now in
the midst ol us 1
The crowning u'ory of the day was the
Continental Guards and the Masonic 1'ra
ternity; they, by their imposing beauty,
commanded universal praise and admira
tion. In the Masonic ranks I saw two
bitter polilicul opponents ? Albert Pike,
the distinguished American Poet, and
John Claiborn, the talented editor of the
Louisiana Courrier, Walking arm in arm,
thereby proving that Politics and Masonry
are two quite different things, and in no
way connected.
In the afternoon our liberal "City Fa
thers" entertained the members of the
Legislature, Supreme and District Court
Judges, Gov. Wickliffe, &c., at the St.
Charles Hotel, by giving them a grand
Inatmiral Dinner. What a combination
of learning and talent in that assemblage !
With such an array of genius and talent,
it could not have been otherwise expected
but that there was
"A feast of reason
And a flow of soul,"
as well as a popping of champagne corks,
and a flow of the sparkling fluid. And
thus ended one of New Orleans proudest
days? a day that will fill the brightest
pa?e ol her hu>'ory.
The weather this winter has been in
tensely cold, beyond all precedent or the
memory ol the oldest inliab.tant. We
have had no snow, but ice in abundance.
j But now, I nm pleased lo say, the weather
lias moderated to that temperature that be
longs to this region. To day is a real
Spring-like day, meritorious of May. The
sky is covered with a solid coat ol Etheri
al blue ; the air rr?ild and balmy, and
"The summer sun,
Most sweeVly smiling with attemper -I herons^
Sheds jrontly down a mild & grateful w ai nil ?? j
But' I must stop, for I have already en- ,
croached upon your "gracious patien?je. |
Yours, most truly, ". j
| More "Triplets."? \ few weeks since
; we alluded to the progress our neighbors j
I of the town of Wrightsville were making
in the "domestic arts ; and as an eV1
dence, mentioned the fact that a lady ol
that enterprising village had presented her !
liege lord with a christmas present, nicely
(done up to order, in the shape of
bouncing babes at one birth. This should,
have been honor enough for one year at
least, and should have satisfied any "pro
gressive," however ultra in his views, tiiai j
, Wrightsville was a great town and her;
! people possessed of the true go-ahead,
spirit. But ii appears that the village is
! not yet finished, nor the population yet
I dense enough, for on 1 hursday ot last
| week, Mrs. Neidig, gave birth to three,
(children, two boys and one girl. At this,
j new manifestation of greatness, the eoitor
ol the Star, one of the Smith family, and
a descendant of the veritable John, throws
up his cap, and shouts lustily and loudly,
"huzza for our town." And he has a j
fight to do it, for we doubt whether this
iside of sunset, there is another town at all
comparable in the 'triplet line with
1 Wrightsville. ? Lancaster Examiner.
j The Price of Mreadstvffs. ? A Lancas
ter paper has the following very sensible
remarks : The opinion is entertained by
some of our farmers and dealers in bread- !
stuffs, that the prices are going to rule
higher, we think will be found erroneous.
The fact that they advanced greatly last
year after this time will not justily the
presumption that it will be so this. 1 hat
rise was caused mostly by the short crop> ,
of all kinds over the country, aided in a
measure by the foreign demand caused by (
the war, which the present prospect ol
peace will probably take away. But even ,
if the war should continue, it cannot ere- ,
a'.e a demand that will tend to raise prices ,
materially. The European demand ha*
mostly been supplied by the large purcha- .
ses that were made in the fall, before nav- |
igation closed, on foreign account. It was ^
these purchases that kept up pficcs, and .{
induced the belief that breadstuffs would ,
continue to rule extremely high, notwith- 4
standing the great product of last year.
Flour and breadsti.fis of all kinds h.ut |
materially declined within the last month, ,,
and still continue to fall, with little de
inand, save for home consumption.
Bridal Presents.? A correspondent of
the Charleston Courier writing from N. i
York, says : .
"An aggregate of $26,000 is said to
have been^trinketed in to the daughter of,
ex-Mayor Mickle on her marriage to a
son of ex-Mayor Lawrence. I saw only |
this morning, at Ball, Black, and (. o >, an
$8,500 diamond necklace, just mounted j
as a bride's present : also, a brooch, at j
Tiffany & Co's costing ?4,000, intended
as a present to another b.ide. is
about up to the Babylonian maik.
Scarcity of Coal and Provisions at
Richmond. ? The ice blockade has sub
jected Richmond, Va., to almost a state of
seige. The allowance of coal there, it is
staled, is very nearly exhausted, an 1 the
quantity brought in daily Irom the pits is j
inadequate to the wants of the communi
ty. Already the gas lights are turned oil |
before midnight in consequence of a defi
ciency in the supply of coal at the gas
works. It is also said that the stock of
corn, meal and sugar is rapidly diminish
ing, and the price of the latter article has
gone up almost to the war figure.
New County.? We learn from the
Piedmont Independent, that a project is
on foot for the creation of a new county,
to be taken off the northwestern portion
of Hampshire. W e have no doubt the
people in that region feel the inconveni
ence of their remoteness from the count)
seat, and in that point of view, a division
might be desirable. ^
Execution of a Murderer.-- Poyles
town, Pa., Feb. l5.--Jacob Ambruster
was hung to-day for the murder of his
wife. He died protesting his innocence,
and when on the scalTold refused to shake
hands w ith his son or permit ihe minister
to pray for him. He said repeatedly to
the Sheriff, "You dare not hang me.
You know you dare not." When the
drop fell he died without a struggle. His
ilast words were, "1 want no judge but
God."
Gored bij a L ow.? A small boy living
at Mrs. Se/bert's near this place had his
mouth and cheek severely torn by a !i tru
ed cow. We learn that the horn entered
at his mouth and that his cheek w'as torn
to a point near the ear. The wound was
sewed up soon alter the accident and the
patient is doing well. ? Martinsburg He

Snow Freshet Apprehended.- -The
snow, notwithstanding the slight thaws,
sull remains many inches in depth upon
the ground, and ii is apprehended that its
disappearance will be accompanied by a
rain. Should this happen we may antici
pate a disastrous flood and ihe partial in
undation of our city. ? Cumberland Tele

Friday. ? The Clerk read a communi
cation from the Senate, informing the
House that they agreed to the amendment
proposed to the bill entitled an act to
amend the charter of the Valley Union
Education Society ; and also of the pas
sage of two bills entitled, an act authori
zing an in til eased subscription to the Lou
doun Branch railroad company, and the
extension of the said railroad from Pur
cellville to Harper's Ferry ; and an act
to incorporate the Powell Fort turnpike
company.
Mr. Powell moved that the former bill
he put upon its passage.
The motion was agreed to, whereupon
.Mr. Iliett offered a ryder, providing :
that none of the authorized capital ol the j
company shall be applied to the construc- 1
lion of the proposed extention, until the'
completion of the ir.aiu line of the road to
Harrisonburg.
Mi. Wright presented a petition in fa-.
i'or ol the extension, aiso, a remonstrance
igainst it.
Messrs. Pov. ell. Towner and Wright
idvacatcd the passage of the bill, and Mr.
iliett opposed it.
The question upon its passage was put
md decided in the affirmative. Its li tie
kvas amended on motion of Mr. Powell,
50 as to read, "An act authorizing the
Manassa (Jap Railroad Company to ex
lend their road from Pureellville to Har
per's Ferry."
Bank or Berkeley.
We learn that at a recent meeting of
the stock-holders of the Bank of Berkeley,
the following gentlemen were chosen Di
O o
rectors for the present year : John B.
Hoge, O. Tudor Hedges, Wm. T. Snod-I
grass, Moses S. Grantham, John Wm. j
Stewart, George W. Doll and Casper
Weaver. John 15. Hoge, Esq., the for
mer President, now occupies that position
protein., while Daniel Burkhart, Esq.,
who has discharged the duties of Cashier
o< the institution since its lirst establish
ment, is Mill retained in that position.
The l'otouiac.
The Potomac River is frozen up from
its mouth to its source, hardly leaving suf
ficient openings fir the subsistence of the
wild water fowl. Such is the depth and
solidity of the ice, thai in many places
large wagons and sleds heavily laden with
wheat, wood, &c., are constantly passing
and repassing. Great fears are enter
tained for the safety of the Cuncl, and
the dams and bridges across the River.
\\ e have been informed that the average
thickness of the ice is about 28 inches.
Failure of I1. T. Barnuin.
The failure of I*. T. Baiimm, the great
Showman, has become a fixed fact. A
clock Company, in which he was largely
concerned, took him through. His debts
amount to nearly $500,000, and his p.op
erty worth not near that amount. Hut he
is lint poor, having settled a very hand
some sum on his wife in his prosperity,
which is beyond the reach of all sorts and
kinds of creditors.
Death of Kev. Dunlap.
Rev. Robkkt W . Dunlap, for five years
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of 1 1 a
gerstown, Md., died in that place on the
1 T th i list. , in the 4 1st year of his nge. He
was beloved by the members of hi
Church, and highly esteemed by all who
knew him.

The Steamship Pacific.
This ship has been on the ocean about
twenty-five days, and fears are entertained

.Messrs. Editors : ? By letters and pa
pers from Oregon, recently received, we
have the particulars of Indian hostilities
in Rogue river valley. Among the first
victims of their savage fury is George \\ .
Harris, who with Rev. Jacob Gillespie,
J Wm. Cook and others, emigrated from
this county to Oregon in the spring ol
1852. Mr. Harris was a native of Jeffer
son County, Virginia, from whence he
Icameto Missouri, in 1841. His wife,
Mary Ann, is the daughter of James
Young, recently deceased, one of the ear
ly settlers of this county. Her defence of
herself and child against the attack of the
savages, is one of the most remarkable in
stances of female heroism and courage up
[on record ? a siruggle in which she main
tained a spirit and bearing worthy the
daughter of a block-house settler ? and
'should be handed down to posterity as an'
example of braverv in woman, under the.
must trying and heart rending circumsian- 1
! ces.
We attach the following, in Mrs. Har
ris' own language, as nearly as possible : ,
"At about 8 or 0 o'clock of the inor- 1
ning of the Oth of October, 1855, as her
husband was engaged in making shingles
near the house, and she was washing at
i{ie buck ol the house, lie suddenly enter
ed with the axe in his hand much alarmed,
the house being surrounded by Indians,
whose countenances and manner indica-j
ted that their intentions were not good.---)
lie seized his rifle, but in endeavoring to
close the door was fired upon by them, the
hall taking efl>ct in the breast. Mechani- j
cally he discharged the gun twice at them,i
as she believes with no effect, and passing;
across the roJ%i fell upon the lloor. Thej
daughter, in the excitement of the moment, j
rushed out of the frontdoor, where she!
was shot through the right arm through;
the shoulder and elbow. The husband ,
reviving encouraged his wife to bar ihe !
doors and load the guns, ot which there I
were a rille, a shot gun and two pistols,;
and revolver and holster pistol. She re- j
plied that she never loaded a gun in her!
life. He then proposed to give them
presents to induce them to leave ; she re
plied it would not answer, upon which!
he instructed her in the manner of loading
the guns, and expired. She now was
left entirely dependant upon her own ef
forts ? her husband dead ? her daughter
severely wounded. Not discouraged, she
commenced a vigorous discharge upon the
savages, who were endeavoring to fire the
house, having already burned the out
buildings. She thus continued to defend
herself and daughter, she watching at one
end of the house and the child at the oth
er, for eight hours and until about sun
down, when the savages being attracted
.
by a firing on the flats, about a mile below !
the house, left to discover from w hence it
proceeded. She embraced the opportuni
ty anil fled to a small insolated thicket or
chapparel near the house, taking with
itheni only the holster pistol. Having
barely secreted themselves before the In
dians again approached the house, but
finding it abandoned, they commenced I
scouring the thicket, about eighteen in
| number, armed with rifles. Upon their
close approach she discharged the pistol,
which produced a general stampede. This
was repeated several times and always
with the same result until finally suriound
ing the thicket they remained till daylight.
Her ammunition was now exhausted. ?
She heard ihe approach of horsemen, at
which the Indians became alarmed, and
concealed themselves in the rear of the
thicket. She discovering the horsemen
to he whiles rushed out towards them, but
they had advanced so far beyond that they i
did not discover her. They were the
advance of the volunteers. Concealing
O )
herself again with the empty pistol in.
hand, the main body soon approached,
when the savages precipitously fled.
Mrs. Harris having sent her little son
David, ten years of age, to a neighboring 1
I house the evening previous, has not since
heard from him, but he is supposed to be
! murdered. Also Frank Heed, the partner
lot' Mr. Harris is supposed to have been
killed.
A correspondent of the Oregon States
man says :
"I shall be very much disappointed if
Congress don't grant the heroine, Mrs.
Harris, a handsome pension, within twen
ty-four hours alter the news reaches
W ashington. If they don't, the people
oi < )regon will."
We have just learned that John Gilles
pie, sonof Mr. George Gillespie, of this
| county, has been killed.
