New Jersey, is deemed hardly sufficient lo ensure permanent supply of fuel for a single furnace. The number of furnaces in New Jersey is twelve. A Diabolical Be n- jamin Van Orden, an old revolutionary soldier, from Coxcuckic, this morning drew bis pension money from the Branch the amount of one hundred and sixty bills which he received were, one of one hundred dollars; one ol fifty dollars; and one of ten dollars.

Caesar declared his innocence of the crime for which he wus lo die, and said lie should "not into eternity stained with Ihe blood ofJloskins;" such had been the -wickedness of his whole ho acknowledged the justice of his doom, and trusted he was prepared lo find mercy of God. Teller said, as he always has done, that he was not guilty of wilful murder, and very incoherently expressed his disapprobation of taking Ihe life of man for any crime, by executing him.

"Let him be chained," said'he, ''let him be put into the dungeon, but let him He hoped this would be the last event of Ihe kind in the stale." At the request of Teller, the hymn commencing with "The Voice of Free Grace," was sung, and. at the desire of Caesar, the grace hath power alone. To a heart of stone." Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Mr Davis, who has allended them constantly during their imprisonment. The prisoners then took leave of the sheriff, of several friends, of each other, and at last, in a very affcclionalc manner, of the Rev.

Mr Davis, thanking him for his kindness to them, and expressed a hope my friends. My head is about to be delivered to the executioner. This shock, without doubt, is painful for iny relatives: but it is the will of the Almighty', be resigned to His xiecrees. I humble myself in His presence, his judgment on me; and I offer Him with a good heart the sacrifice of my life. I drest you and fee you for the last time.

I ask the assistance of your prey CM. If I obtain mercy, as I expect to do, I shall not forget you before God. Pray all of you for an to meet him where chains and prisons and executions would be known no more. The caps were then drawn over their eyes, and, while they were bolh employed in Ihe very act of earnest vocal prayer, the drop fell, and afler a short struggle all was over. We learn that Cccsar for several weeks ha? appeared to be quite penitent and reconciled.

During all the appalling circumstances of ihe execution, he seemed to be firm and unmoved. He expressed Ihe strongest confidence in the unmerited compassion of Christ, and declared he was precious to his soul--Tcllci seemed at times quite agitated, and no change was apparent in his religious views or feelings. They have bolh gone, however, to a righlcous tribunal, and there we leave in (he country, much sickness of various kinds exists. cholera had entirely ceased at Jacksonville, 111. Forty-one persons died there during the prevalence of the disease.

At a place called Egypt, in Morgan county, of the sume state, 21 deaths took a circumference of two milet, in the three weeks previous to the 21st of August. The (Va.) Press of the 5th inst. considers itself fully justified in saying that the cholera no longer exists in that country as an epidemic. No case had occurred in Charlestown or Harper's Ferry, for the last two weeks. Smiths- field had been entirely exempt, and in Shepherds town, where "many hearts had been made desolate," there had been no case of cholera since the 27th ult.

Subsequent to that date, the town has been unusually healthy. NOR WALK, SEPT. 24, 1833. To our young competitors and Editors of bail in answer oi the gave handed over to the U. S.

The "Intelligencer" has rircd another Gun, which expect was aimed at me, or old Rat or Crow, or something' else hur have not concluded whether the iharge all squihbed out of the vent-hole; or whether the piece scattered so much, that the contents have flown past, and are yet seeking their intended object. The iiore natural conclusion would be perhaps, that there was not force enough in the am- i i to do any serious injury: at any rate, we have escaped unhurt. The whole race of quadrupeds are rejoicing at their fortunate escape. But to confess the truth, I was a little alarmed; for I thought some able person might be procured to charge the big pa- perGUN, (to wit, the Intelligencer.) so as to cither make a successful shot, or ilse blow up my whole race.

But I now treat the sharp shooting archer with a candid and serious reply. I read the attack made upon me i care and attention but could only find many "scattered fragments of broken thoughts," and words of five syllables, thrown together without sense, iearninv, or skill. The attack speaks of a convention of quadrupeds. Tins is something that I know i about. If there ever was such a convention, the name of the Chairman, and Clerk, and the lac where it was holden, and the time when, ought to be published also, or else there will be no credit given to the publication.

I shall therefore conclude that my people have been falsely accused he says therefore, Unsolved, That the "Western Intelli- gencer is based upon a precarious foundation, and must shortly go down, in consequence of the extreme poverty of the proprietors which resolutions, ho says, were ordered to be published."

Messrs Taintcr, Roorback and Starr appeared personally at the meeting. Ii uru dell Palmer, Esq. of Fitchville, and liam Spalding, of New London, were not present; but their friends who were prcg. cut, informed th meeting that they wish. ed to be considered as withdrawn from the list of candidates, and that they would cheerfully unite in support of the candidate nominated by the meeting.

The other candidates then had a friendly consultation, and by an amicable afre- ment, SMITH STARR, of Clark fi 0 was nominated as the standing candidate Messrs Tainter and Roorback cheerfully declined in his favor, and pledged themselves to use their influence to promoto his election. The business for which the meeting assembled being accomplished, Doctor McMillan, of Clarksfield, was duly appointed to report the proceedings, and request tho editors news papers printed in this county, to publish the same in their respective papers, and discontinue the names of Messrs Tainter, Roorback Spalding and Palmer, as candidates for county commissioner. Being universally admitted that the eastern part of the county is entitled to one commissioner, solicitations were frequently received from the west, for us to unite upon one candidate, and they would cheerfully give him their support. The proposed arrangement having been made, and Smith Starr being the candidate nominated, and a man of acknowledged abilities, there is no doubt but the approaching contest will result in is his election.
