From the Louisville Democrat of the Ml*.
DMtk of OoloMtl Wifc Htddle.
The painful new. of the sudden death of
Colouel William Riddle, cast a deep gloom over
the city yesterday.
It was ouly the evening before that he was
in our office hearty aud well?his manly form
the very picture of health, lie returned to his
residence after the close of business hours, and
spent the evening cheerfully at home. At the
usual hour he retired to bed, but feeling quite
unwell from cholfc, he arose aud took some
laudanum. This did not allay his pain, and he
arose a second time, aod Irom the Mcon oae,
fell asleep to wake no more. His wife wa._dis
turbed by his unnatural and heavy>reathing
and awoke, but to findliun insensible and be
yond the power of medicine. A doctor was im
mediately sent for, but he arrived tooj ate, for
the thread of life was broken,- and his .pint
was about taking it* eternal flight
For more than twenty years Colonel Riddle
was a citizen of Louisville, during which time
he had contributed largely, by his activity and
public spirit, to build up the city. Bold, frank,
and generous, he took with him many friends
to the support of every measure calculated to
advance the interests of our people. Around
him rallied a host of supporters in every good
undertaking, for with his keen perception, and
strong, clear judgment he was unconsciously
their leader. . T
He was adjutant in the Louisville Legion,
and served during the Mexican war?was be
loved by his fellow-soldiers, and who will cherish
his memory, and are now deploring his loss to
th In all the relations of life, he held a high
position. Citizen, soldier, friend, he was es
^^uUo'bS frmily is the overwhelming afflic
tion ; a wife and her young babes, his children,
must ever feel the irreparable loss of the best
of husbands and kindest of fathers.
Orders have been issued by the officers of the
Legion, and call made by other public bedies,
with which Colonel Riddle had been connected,
for members to hold themselves in readiness to
attend his funeral.
Aaron Bxjbb.?The Presbyterian Herald
thus speaks of the last moments of this great,
but misguided man:
"There were some facts connected with the
closing scenes of Mr. Burr's life, which were
told to us soon after they occurred, by one who
received them from an eye witness, which we
do not now remember to have seen stated, any
where in print. We suppose that we will not
be considered as violating the privacy of the
domestic circle in referring to them at this re
mote period after their occurrence.
" During Mr. Burr's last illness, he was very
restless aud impatient towards those who were
about his person, often indulgmg iu profane
and abusive language. His physician, observ
ing that mortification had commenced in the
extremities, thought it his duty to inform him
of the fact, aud to assure him that whatever
preparations he might wish to make for death,
should be made at once. In as gentle tones as
be could command, he broached the subject,
assuring him that within twenty-four hours, at
the farthest, he would be a dead man. Mr.
Burr: 1 l)octor, I cau't die. I won t die. I
Bhan't die. My father and mother, and grand
parents, and uncles, and auuts, were all pious
and godly people. They prayed for my con
version a thousand times, and if uod bei a
hearer of prayer, he is not going to let me die
until their prayers are answered. It is "npos
"sible that the child of so many prayers will be
lost.' .
" The doctor replied, ' Mr. Burr, you are al
ready dying.' He then went over pretty much
the sarnie expression as given abo^e aud sank
into a stupor, and soon slept the^ sleep which
knows no waking until the morning of the re
surrection. We may not h?ve given the pre
cise language used by him, as years have
elapsed Bince it was reported to us. Our in
formant received the impression that he had
run the rounds of his iniquity, all the while in
dulging the hope that, like the celebrated Au
gustine, before ho died he would be converted,
iu answer to the prayers of his pious parents
and frieuds.

We have to record a most melancholy in
stance of the power of hallucination over the
miud and health, in the person of a highly re
spectable and intelligent young lady of Kinder
hook, in this State, who some two years since,
while in the enjoyment of robu.t health, was
visited one night at her bedside (as she affirmed
at the time) by an apparition, who in solemn
accent informed her that at the age of eighteen
she would be au inhabitant of another and a
better world. She made the incident known
to her mother, who vainly endeavored to erase
the circumstance from the mind of her daughter
by treating it as "the hallucination of a dream.
The daughter, however, averred that .he was
in possession of her faculties and wide awake
at the time of receiving the spiritual visitor;
and such was the effect it had upon her mind,
that, a girl full of life and glee, she became
thoughtful and reserved, and gradually sank
under its depressing influence, pining g?idu
ally, until recently she became a tenant of the
graveyard just as she was entering upon her
eighteenth year.?Kinderhook Rough NoUt.
A Trout Fisn Lrviso iv a Will Twenty
rivK Ykabs.?Mr. F. Hoyt, a correspondent of
the Country Gentleman, writing from South
East, New York, Nov. 19, says:
"Can any one tell how long a trout fish will
live? Twenty-five years the past summer I
came on the farm where 1 now am. Almost
the first work that I did after getting in my
spring crops was to drain a bog swamp, the
outlet of which leads into the Croton river.
I had an old Scotchman to do the ditching.
One day he brought up a trout fish, about the
size of a man's little finger, in his whisky jug
?by the by, we used a little on the farm then,
and not since then. I put it in the well near
the house, and it is there now, grown to a
aize?say about a foot long and large in pro
portion. It has been fed but very little, once
in a while ?ome one throws in a^grasshopper or
a cricket, to ?ee him catch it. The well is
thirty feet deep, and water hard, and settles
down nearly to the bottom, and then again
rises to near the top. He has been taken out
a few times to clean the well, but not for the
last five years.
" Friday last I got a grasshopper?the last
one I expect to see this fall?and gave it to
him. The water is now twenty five feet deep,
but it hardly touched the surface before he
had it If any one has a fish older than mine
I would like to know it."
Crla* ?*
The California journals abound in details of
crime. The condition of affairs in that portion
of the Republic is deplorable indeed. Scenes
of violence and death are of almost daily oc
currence, and executions hy Lynch law have
become ordinary events. Indeed, one of the
San Francisco papers gives the following sum
mary of the outrages that have taken place
within the last nine month.:
lit Quftr. M Qn*r. Sd Qnsr Or* ToUI.
Tot?l Killed.... . 1? W 288 ?? 48ft
Hung by Sheriff ? 9
Hung by Mob ... N ?4 18 fi 40
These are statistics of a truly appalling char
acter. California cannot but suffer in c?n*?~
quence. The spirit of emigration will be
checked, and many of the peaceful residents,
excited and alarmed, will be indnred to leave.
The authorities should endeavor to devise a
remedy. There must be error, either in the
laws or their enforcement.

WUlluB Well#, Ex Parte.?This mm wss
taken tip ycBierduy luorumg 111 the Supreme
Coun of the United States; audit involve# the
following points A murine, William Wells, whs
convicted of the murder of a youth, named Muu
dell, at the December (1851) term of ihe Criminal
Court for the couuly of WmhiDgton, and was
seuleuoed to be hanged on the 23d of April, 1 652;
but on that day (the gallows having been erected
and all orher preparation! made) President Fill
more gianted him a pardon of the offence of
which be wa? convicted, upon the coudition that
he be imprisoned during his natural life ; in other
words, commuting the sentence of death for im
prisonment in the Penitentiary at Wa?hiugtou.
Wells accepted the pardon with the conditions
annexed. But,onibe 18th of#April last, on the
ground that the pardou was '? absolute and the
condition void " he prayed the Circuit Court for a
writ of habeas corpus, which was awarded and
issued. The court, however, refused toorderhis
discharge, deciding that the President, by virtue
of his office, had full authority for his action in
the premises. Now, by his counsel, Colonel
Charles L. Jones, he goes before the Supreme
Court of the United States, asserting that the de
cision of the Circuit Court is erroneous aud
against law, aud that ins confinement is illegal
and without just cause ; hence he prays that the
Supreme Court, in the due pursuance and execu
tion of iU appellate jurisdiction in such cases,
will award and issue the proper writ of habtas
corpus, directed to the marshal of the District of
Columbia, with a view " that the petitioner he
discharged from his illegal imprisonment."
The motion was yesterday argued by Mr. Jones
in its support, and by the United States Attorney
General in opposition to it.
The question is under the advisement of the
court.
Astronomy.?Professor O. M. Mitchel, of Cin
cinnati, will deliver a course of six lectures, on
astronomy, at ihe Smithsonian Institution, com
mencing on Monday night. The other 1,,-ctures
will be delivered on the 26th, 28th, and 31st of
December, and on the second and fourth of Janu
ary
During the present week, the lectures at the
Institution have been attended by many ladies
and gentlemen; and on su :h occasions an hour
may be there pleasantly and profitably epeut.
"Coming Down."?The Ogdensburg (N. Y.)
Sentinel, under this heading, says that 1 flour
fell in that village last week about seventy-five
cents in the barrel,'' and that, as the '"country is
full of ail kinds of produce, there is no cause to
keep up the high prices.1* So we think; but in
this vicinity, instead of produce "coining down,"
it is going up! Potatoes are the only description
of food cheaper the present year than at this time
during the last. The high tariff is particularly
oppressive to the stomachs of the poor, while
those in comfortable or afflueut circumstances are
far from being contented with the exorbitant de
mands upon their pockets.
Kev. W. W. Bennett has been appointed,
by the Virginia Methodist Episcopal Church
Sooth conference, the presiding elder for this dis
trict, and the Rev. D. S. Doggett pastor of the
Eighth street Church, iu Washington. Rev. J.

the total amount of imports into Georgetown was
?19,088. Nothing exported to foreign countries.

THE GLOBE:
Tlie Olttvial Oru?u of U?ugr?l? ?ud Ncws
pajttr fur lb? Fttujtlc.
I address my annual circular to the public, ap
prising ii that the Globe wijl renew its report* of
the Congressional Debate# at the next sesstou ol
Congress. It is hardly necessary to say that the
proceedings of the next Cougress will be ol vust
import to the country. The issue* whu h have
beeu made in reiatiou to slavery, couuected with
the great mlere?l which is always taken in Con
gress iu relation to the uoiaiuution ol presidential
candidates, will give intense excitement to t ie
next session, which will be cotninuniculed l<> the
public. Whatever is debated iu Congress will be
debated everywhere. The importance ol official
reports cannot, therefore, be tQO highly estimated.
The couutry will pass upon the proceedings o
Congress as they progress, and public opinion, it
properly informed, will have a salutary intiueim
upon the result. , .
The Daily Globe will be printed ou a double
royal sheet at eleven o'clock every morning, ex
cept Sunday, and will coutnin all the messages ol
the President ol' the United States ; the reports ol
the Executive Departments; the entire proceed
ings of Congress; the laws passed during the
session ; and the news by telegraph and from
other sources up to the hour of going to press.
The debates in Congress frequently till thirty.
forty, fifty, and sometimes more than a hundred
columns a day. Whenever they make mor ? than
twenty-eight columns a day, extra sheet* are
printed. ? . .... .
Tuesday's Congressional Globe will be pub
lished every Tuesday morning, and contain the
proceedings of Congress in a condensed form; the
current news of the day, and such editorial com
ment upon the times as may be decmetl suitable
to the character of the paper. When the debates
of a week cannot be condensed into twenty
columns, and leave eight column# of the sheet
or other mailer and advertisements, an extra
sheet will be priuted. .
The Congressional Glouk will be the revised
edition of the proceedings contained in the Daily
Globe, and the laws passed during the session,
printed in book form on a royal quarto page, aud
will, probably, make four volumes of nine hun
dred pages each. The last volume ol the lour
will be an Appendix, which will contain such
speeches as are written out by the members them
selves, with such deferred proceedings as neces
sarily accompany them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded to subscribers soon
after the end of the session. II a subscriber shall
lose any numbers, they will be supplied at the
rate of three cents for sixteen pages.
It is admitted by every competent judge, whose
opinion I have heard expressed on the subject
that the debates of Congress are better reported
and sold lower than those of any other legislative
body. A calculation which I made for the Senate
ofUe United Slates in April, 1854, shows thnt
Congress pays me for reporting and publishing
its debates in the Daily Globe, and then in the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, only one
eleventh the rate charged in Eugland lor publish
ing the debates of Parliament, and about one
seventh the average rate paid by the Stales of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Kentucky,
are all the Slates in which the price# paid had
then been ascertained,) for publishing their de
bates in book form only. The debates of Con
gress are offered to subscribers, in this Prospec
tus, for about one half the price paid for them >y
Congress?the expense of reporting, and then
publishing them in the Daily Glooe to enable
members to revise their remarks for the Congres
sional Globe and Appendix, are all paid for by
Congress, and do not form any part of the 8b
which an individual pay** lor them. Calculations
showing the prices paid for debates are printed on
the fourth page of the paper.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congressional
Globe and cheapen it to subscribers, Congress
passed a joint resolutiou making It free of postage.
I annex it, as the law may not be acce?v',le 10
postmasters generally:
"Joint Resolution providing for the distribution of
the Laws of Congress and the Debates thereon.
"With a view to the cheap circulation of the
laws of Congress and the debates contributing to
ihe true interpretation thereof, and to make free
the communication between the representative
and constituent bodies:
" He it resolved by the Senate and House of Hep re
sentatives of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled. That from and after the present
session of Congress, the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, which contain the laws and the debates
thereon, shall pass free through the mails so long
as the same shall be published by order of Con
gress: Provided, That nothing herein shall be
construed to authorire the circulation of the Daily
Globe free of postage.''
I commenced publishing the Congressional
Globe and Appendix in 1833. They now make
ihmv-acven Volumes. Tbe first edition of many
of them is exhausted, and I ant now reprinting
and stereotyping them. They cannot be afforded
for less than $7 50 a volume. Should any sub
scriber wish the back numbers, they will be fur
nished, well bound, at that rate.

JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION
Of Copaiba! 114 Chamber* Sliret, N.
TO THE MEDICAL PKU* ESSION.
GENTLEMEN.?The Valuable medicinal
properties of Balsam Couaiba have long
been recoguixed by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising Irani its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented it* administration in many
diseases lor which it is particularly adapted. The
usual ' modus operandi ol' prescribing it, either
in the form of un Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
| lo some objection, either from the ditliculty expe
rienced by some individuals in the deglutition of
the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaiba gen
erally {bund in the Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced to the
medical profession, as it contains SO per cent, of
the pure.?t Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians aud analytical chemists in the old and
new worlds lo contain all ihrf medicinal proper
ties of Balsam Copaiba without its disagreable
characteristics.
It is an etticient preparation liir all disease* 6f
the mucous membranes, and particularly Gono
rheu^a, Leucorrhtra, Gleet, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic, irritation of the bladder.
