THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
No Philadelphia papers were received b

boat arrived at Baltimore, however, brough
several of the morning papers, from two c
which we copy the following accounts of th
election, and the riots which followed it, attend
with, bloodshed and destruction of life am

Whig Victory in Philadelphia.—The gene
ral election took place throughout the State ol
Pennsylvania yesterday. The Whips hurt
srhiered a glorious victory in the city—have
elected their whole ticket by an average majori
tv of eighteen hundred votes. When it is ie
ineniheied that last year the Whig majority was
less than two hundred votes, the value of the
result may be correctly estimated.
The Cointy.—We have not the complete re
turns from the county’, but sufficient to rendet
it certain that both Ash and Sutherland (Jack
son) have been elected to Congre s.
Sutherland and Ash (the Jackson candi
dates) are elected by 12 or 1400 majority each
The Jackson triumph in the 2d and 3d Con
gressional District is complete.
SCENES UK THE INIUHI.
We regret to be compelled to state that scene?
of the most alarming character occurred ir
Moyamensmg last night, after the polls were
closed. Several persons were shot—eighteen
itissaiJ. and we fear more than one life lost.—
A person who was on the ground states that he
saw one fireman carried off apparently dead,
and a number of other individuals borne from
theground severely injured. It is impossible
for u>at this time to give a correct account nl
the origin of the affray, so contradictory are
the reports that have reached us. Neither wil
we attempt at this time, with the public mind al
ready inflamed, and the passions of hundreds
greatly excited, to cast censure upon either par
tv. the object of all good citizens should be tc
allay rather than exasperate the excitement—tc
restore order and decorum, and then to inves
UMte all the circumstances and punish the guil
tv.
Several houses were burnt to the ground, the
furniture scattered through the streets, and bro
into fragments. At one time there c«»ul»J
h-’t have been le>s than five thousand persons ir
the immediate vicinity. The events we havr
thus hastily recorded, occurred immediately in
' vtt i>t th ■ Moyameiising (’ommissioners’ Hall

Esq. _
DIED,
In Washington, on Saturday, the 11th inst.,
f in the 33d year of her age, Mrs. Eliza Dcnn,
. wife of Mr. James C. Dunn, of that city. The
illness which preceded her death was protract
ed and distressing, and was borne with that pa
f tient resignation which the religion of Christ
i inspires By this dispensation of Divine Pro
. vidence, six young children have been depriv
. ed of a devoted mother, her husband of a most
atfectionate and prudent wife, and the circle of
- her acquaintance of a friend whom none can
» fail to lament.
At Belmont, King George county, Va., on the
6th inst., Miss Harriet J. Fitzhugh, in the 23d
year of her age, daughter of the late Dr. Geo.
Fitzhugh. Amiable, candid and sincere, she
was a dutiful daughter and an affectionate sis
) ter. Her death will be deeply regretted by a
> large circle of friends, but they will not sorrow
as those “ without hope;” for she had, for two
or three years past, maintained the character
I of a consistent Christian, and in her last illness
was perfectly resigned to the will of her heaven
ly Master. “ Blessed are the dead who die in
1 the Lord.”

BROOKVILLE ACADEMY.
rpHE Trustees of this Institution, situated in
X Brookville, Montgomery County, Mary
and, about 20 miles from Washington, and 28
rom Baltimore and Frederick Cities, deem it
iroper to inform the public that they have en
raged Nathan C. Brooks, A. M. as Principal of
his Academy. Mr. Brooks is a gentleman o
noM unexceptionable character, of high standf
ng as a scientific and classical scholar, and of
’ery considerable experience in the education
if youth, having been very advantageously
mown for some years past as the Principal of
franklin Acudemy at Reisterstown; and the
ligii reputation which that school attained un«
ier him, is strong evidence of his qualification*
or such a station.
The central position and convenient distance
if Brookville Academy from the cities of Wash
ngton, Baltimore, and Frederick; its retired *i
uation ami location in a healthy, moral, and
ntelligent neighborhood, in which the retail of
spit itous liquors is prohibited by an express act
ifthe Legislature, and where there is, conse
quently. less danger of the youthful mind beco
ming contaminated by tin; frequent observa
lion of vice and immorality; together with the
high moral and scientific qualifications of Mr.
Brooks, th»' Board of Trustees flatter themselves
will give their Academy claims upon public pa
tronage which are surpassed by none, and per
laps equalled by very few, similar institution*
n the State.
Mr. Brooks will enter upon his duties in the
