Tins painful task has again develo So then it has come to this, even in the Jackson papers, that the people, yes the dear people, must have a bank, embracing the general features, of the U. S. Bank.

It must be a new bank if Biddle will not resign. If he do, or the stockholders, will dismiss him, then the IVJEIt SJtltY OF THE Apprentices library Association OF CARLISLE, Ja. 1, 1834. The Apprentices Library Association held, the second anniversary in the M. E.

Church. An address was delivered house was entirely destroyed with most of its contents No. 136, of the same materials, occupied by Mr Dempsey, and Geo. Brown, shared the same fate. Mr.

D. was considerably injured in attempting to save his property. No 234, occupied by David Camp not hurt. The efforts of the firemen were unremitted for about five hours. The exact cause of the fire has not yet been ascer tained.

T. he amount ot property destroyed is-variously estimated, at from $80,000 to $120,000, which we blieve was fully insured. Between three and four o'clock P. the firemen were again called to put out the fire, which had rekindled in the same place. We understand tnat trie books in both stores were saved.

A young gentleman named IV. P. Long, at an imminent risk of his life, opened the fire proof in the Messrs. stacy counting room, and took the books therefrom Mr. Allen saved the books in the other store.

Exertions such as have been used by the firemen at this tire, would have earned unlading laurels il made in the held ot battle. Washington, Dec. 23. Intemperance Premature We were called yesterday to witness one ot the most awtul scenes that the eye ot hu manity can behold a corpse whose limbs seemed to have been cast in Nature's most perfect mould, which had been disfigured and blackened by the ravages of fire. It was the reward of intemperance, that curse of man, that bane to social happiness, that enemy to human greatness.

1 he particu lars so far as we were able to collect them, are A man by the name of Kurtz, who at one time was employed by the Government to manufacture the anchors tor the JNavy, until his energies and powers were prostrated by the intoxicating bowl, had provided himself with a bottle of rum, and took his station for the night, in a blacksmith shop near the market. It appears that he built a fire on the ground, near one of the forges, and laid down a board to sleep on. After his bottle had given out, it is thought he fell asleep, and, in that situation, the fire caught his clothes, which were cotton, and burned them nearly all off. His body was snockinely marked by the dreadful element The fire appears first to have caught the left legof his pantaloons at the ancle, which it has entirely flayed it then passed to his right lee below the knee, and progressed upwards, burning the right thigh, the ab domen, and the whole ol the right side as high as the arm-pit, and the right arm, from the elbow to the hand; the flesh in some places is perfectly raw, in others the eijiuormis is crisnea anu arawn. i ne sur ferer must have become sobered by this se vere burning, as the body was found about one hundred yards from the shop where the fire was.

The corp ha a con tusion on the back part ot the head, where it is presumed he struck his head when he tell, through excessive pain and weakness, which must have shortened his misery. Examiner. OUTRAGE AND MURDER Capt. Waterman of the brie Veto, arriv ed at New York from Maracaibo, furnishes the following report: Un the 20ih ol November, in going up Maracaibo Kiver, the mate, Merrnimn, of Brunswick, and the Columbian Pilot, had some difficulty, and came to bbws. Capt.

Waterman heard the noise, arid called the mate and pilot aft, to find out tlie diff erence between them After the mate had told his story, and was in the act of walking for ward to his duty, the pilot sprang at him, and stabbed him in the side with a knife, and cut the mate's throat before the captain or crew could render any assistance. He died in three or four minutes after the act was committed. The pilot wenton shore at Maracaibo, and the Columbian authorities would not take any notice of it, and let him go at large. There is no American Consul at Maracaibo, and the Americans are insulted, and cannot get any redress for it. Major Downing on Satin.

A gentleman, who takes great delight in the publication of the Major's Letters, yesterday went to the pains and expense of having his last communication read to the Cabinet, struck oft in the neatest form, on Red and White Satin, and transmitted them to Gen, Jackson, the Hon. J. Q. Adams, H. Clay, and other distinguished individuals.

They were in such estimation that a single copy was sold for two dollars. Y. Daily Advertiser, Correspondence of tie Baltimore Patriot. Washington, Jan, 10, 1S34. There is no news to-night, of moment to inform you of; Mr.

The Eighth of January dinner here, was a complete failure. The K. C. are dreadfully chagrined at the failure of Mr.

Cambreleng's motion for the Previous Question; and the friends of the Con- sitution are elated by the defeat and also at the success of the new Governor in the Old Dominion, who is deci dedly opposed to the Jackson Van Buren policy, which is now desolating the best interests of the country. From The Troy Press. LONGEVITY IN OUR OWN CITY. Mrs. at the house of Mr.

Gorton in this city, is one hundred and two years of age. Last Summer she walked 14 miles in less than 9 hours I invited her to my house, where she remained two days. Her memory is clear, and she recounts the events of I he old French war with perfect accuracy. She reads the Low- Duch Bible without spectacles, and is very tenacious of the Dutch reformed Church doctrines. She rises herself quickly, talks forcibly and fluently; and is very proud of recounting her early conquests of young Dutchman's hearts.

Laughs, jokes, and often displays scintillations of genuine wit. In person, she is tall and well formed; has a Roman face, and seems to possess the mature powers ol the old Roman orators in Considerable degree. She has always laboured very hard from necessity, having always been in indigent circumstances; but never without a sufficiency of course food and cloathing. She has generally lived according to Beddoes on consumption in an opon house with plenty of fuel- Sour crout, Dutch and brown bread, have been her chief diet. She ate beef pork and fish, in season of them: and drank spirit when she happened to get it; chopped and hacked her own firewood, if the men were from home.

Resolved, That the stockholders disap. prove of so much of the agreement between the president and directors of the Bank ot Virginia, and the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, for the depostte of public money of the United States in the Bank of Virginia, as is embraced in the 2d, 5th, 6th, 7th.

and 8th articles thereof so much of the 3d article as stipulates, that returns of the condition ot the bank shall be made to the Secretary of the Treasury, and to submit the books and transactions of the bank of the examination of the Secretary of the Treasury or his agent and so much of the 4th article as stipulates that the bank shall transfer any portion of its deposites to any other bank or banks employed by the government of the United States.

Resolved, That the President and direc tors of this bank be instructed to communicate to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, that so much of the agreement aforesaid, as is hereby disap proved, cannot be carried mtoenect by this bank.

S. Gazelle. DESTUCTIVE FIRE. About eight o'clock yesterday morning, stores No. 36 and 37 south wharves, occu pied by Messrs.

J. G. 8c D. B. Stacy, and and Messrs.

S. Morris Wain 8c Co. were discovered to bs on fire. We understand that the fire was discovered by the young man while attending to open one of the stores. The engines and hose carriages were brought to the scene of conflagration with the customarv activity of our firemen: but as the roof of the building was slated, and the doors and window shutters com pletely covered with strong sheet iron, it was lone before the ensrines could be brought to play directly -upon the fire.

One intre pid fireman asceimed a piazza, and with an axe proceeded to force open an iron-bound door. He was admonis'hed of the immediate danger of his situation, when the smoke proceeded trom the saltpetre and other articles in the fire should reach him; he nevertheless-persevered, and when the volume of smoke met him, it was alrhost overpowering. He escaped however, unin jured, and proceeded to the other labors of his company these were onorous, enough. Water in numerous streams poured upon the fire, and the hose were laid from Walnut below Third street to, the immediate vicinity of the flames, lue immense amount ot merchandize, and its particular kind, viz: saltpetre, brandy, coffee rendered it impossible to save the buildings, or any considerable portion of their contents. Between nine and ten o'clock, the heat had obtained full mastery over the contents of the stores, and the roof had fallen in.

The casks of liquor and kegs ot saltpetre then began to burn, and for a long time there was a continual explosion, like the sound of heayy cannon, shaking windows of neighboring buildings, and seuding forth immense columns of smoke, that rolled off in massy volumes. Could the appearance of these clouds have been separated from their, melancholy cause, they might have been pronounced splendidly magnificent. I'ljp Mariners' Church is immediately in the rear of the buildings burnt, yet it escaped nil injury, excepting a good soaking, ped us, of recording another distressing h.e in our county. On the night of Thursday last, the Tavern house ot Mrs. Mruce, widow ol the late Francis Bruce, situated five utiles a-bove this town, on iVe National road, was entirely consumed, by fire, togeth er with all the lurniture.

The fire was discovered by some crt the in mates about 12 clock, when had progressed so far as to oblige then, to jump out ot tlie windows oi me secoiw story to save themselves trom the devouring element, not having time even to rescue their clothing. Besides the house, lurniture, cloth ing, provisions, g-c. we unciersianu that Mrs. Bruce lost between hve and six hundred dollars in money, and a Mr.

Percey, a boarder, lost about the same amount in money. The fire, we are intormed, originated from a stove pipe in the back building. Civilian. tiSomething Strange.

of Jan. II DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW YORK. This morning about half-past twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in the kiln of the hair cloth manufactory of Messrs Johnson Green, at the corner of 20th street and 6th Avenue. The factory proper was on the street, and about 100 feet built of brick, two stories high: and a buildinjr attached to it faced the Avenue, of wood, was about the same dimensions. These buildings were occupied in the manufacture of hair cloth, fancy bottoms, and employ ed over one hundred persons.

1 here were in the premises a very costly and extensive machinery, and a large stock of manufactured and unmanufactured material. Among them were 35,000 lbs. of manufactured hair, 3,000 lbs. of which were packed, to be shipped to Boston this morning. The press was entirely filled last night with hair cloth, containing many pieces, each of which contained from 46 to 50 yards.

These buildings, with all their contents, were entirely consumed. In addition to this loss of Messrs. Johnson Green, there were two stables, with the contents, burned, one of which belonged to the firm, including two very valuable horses, and a barouche. The other was owned by Mr. Houseworth.

Tlin whn rmuli in tti fttimtrv tl-ill Km ferred mine, however, but inch as are of old one will have to answer. In the other contingency, the new bank, must be located in New York.

Now this is precisely what we have been anticipating all along. The. present bank is to be brought to its knees und broke, not because of the unconstitutionality, of its charter, not because it is dangerous to our liberties, and its funds have been applied to sustain a political party; not because it has been badly managed, an unsafe depository of the public treasure, and ruinous to the country; but inasmuch, as the people, must and will have a new one, in the city of New York. This is the great secret, of the opposition, to the present bank. And who are the people, who must be grati fied with a new one.

The merchants of New York? No such thing. are all favor of letting well enough alone The manufacturer, the artisan, the widow the orphan? No such thing. They too are for letting well enough alone. It is the unprincipled swindler, the gambler, in the stock market, he who rises as his neighbor sinks and who sinks as his neighbor rises these are the people who must have a bank, em bracing the general features of the old one and which must be located in New York. If Mr.

Biddle does not resign or if the stockholders, will not remove him, the present bank will not be re chartered; but as the people must have a national bank, "a new one" will be or ganised on the ruins, of the other and "located nx New York." And will Penn'a. be mean enough, to submit to this proposition? Yes that she will, if the party requires it. Although, she has repeatedly embraced the opportunity, of declaring herself, in favor of the bank, upholding it, as a ner cessary, useful and popular institution; and although her public functionaries leading men, have done so too; and her Duane's and Ingham's were sacrificed for opinion's sake; yet we find all these professions, greedily eaten, voraciouly ulped down, to choaking, and her JJu- ane's and ingiiam's ana tneir wrongs, buried in one common grave and forgot ten. mind of the virtuous man, saddens, and becomes disgusted.with so much political depravity and.inconsis tency. But party is every thing Prin ciple nothing.

Robbery. The Carlisle Expositor of Tuesday last, says: "OnJast Saturday evening, while Samuel Shoff and wife were at meeting, about half a mile from home. (Shiremanstown) some daring villain succeeded in opening a window in the back part of the ho while the children and a hired girl were in, the girl being so much frightened fell into a fit, and continued so, until Mr. Shoff and wife returned when-, they found the villain had gone up stairs, searched out and taken with him a large amount ot cash, together with other valuables." CHEERING INTELLIGENCE THE KITCHEN CABINET TWIGE DEFEATED. We have cheering intelligence to communicate to our readers this morn-' ing.

The Kitchen Cabinet have been twice defeated in the'House of Representatives at Washington, and in he General Assembly of Virginia. Littleton W. Tazewell, the anti-Van Buren and anti-Kitchen Cabinet candidate, has been elected Governor, of Virginia; and amotion for the previous question, made in the House of Representatives by Mr. Cambreleng, the pet of the Kitchen Cabinet, and the most uncompromising foe that the United States Bank has, was defeated by a vote of 108 to 89. "Such was the effect of Mr.

Binney's powerful speech, Which all accounts represent as one of the most splendid, eloquent and lucid efforts ever made in Congress. Philadelphia Inquirer. The Washington correspondent of the Albany advertiser states, that Judge "Sutherland will be dead asrainst Mr. Van Buren the moment Speaker Steven son goes to England." Avowed a.nd decided opposition to the Kitchen Cabinet and the Vice President is' still a card that the member of Congress from the first District holds. Let him play it openly, boldly, and with sincerity, and we will forgive him many of his political sins.

No other course can save him. Pennsylvania, he may rely upon it, will go with Virginia upon the question of the removal of the Deposites will go with Virginia in relation to the next Presidency. The signs of the times are ominous. Discreet politicians should look with caution before they lean. Honpsit men need not hesitate a moment as to the right course Ibid.

ROBBERY. The Zanesville (Ohio) Republican of the 4th inst. says: "We regret to learn that Mr. Thomas Officer, of Salt Creek township, in this county, a worthy and enterprising citizen, was robbed recent ly in PhiladelphiapJ I50Tvthe proceeds of a large lot of wool He had. a shoi-t time previous deposited $4000 in one of the banks, which he had received for a large drove of cattle, owned by himself and Mr.

M'Cracken, bell and others, was also consumed. These three houses were alike in structure, and erected during the last spring. To the westward of these was a block of eleven houses of two stories, with brick fronts. Of this block, No. 282, occupied -by Mr Houseworth and Mr M-cNulty, was burnt to the ground with its enntents.

NoD80, occupied by Mr. Fowler. who, With hig family, were in the coun try, anu noi particle of furniture saved. No. 228, occupVd by Mrs.

No. 234, occupied by Charles Bchan- an and others, was materially injury. No. 222, occupied by George Brown, and John Geer, slightly also No. 220, occupied by Dennis Sheehan and oth ers.

Nos. 218 1614 and 12, occupied by several families each, were consid erably injured, by the confusion in removing furniture, and the copious discharges of water upon them. llus fire is the most calamitous in its consequences of any which has taken place in the city for several years, if we except, perhaps, those which happened in Greenwich village on tlie night of the 4th of July, 1831, and that on the morning of the 1st of May, 1833. Most of the families burnt out were in indigent circumstances, and have sought temporary shelter in the Thenlogical Seminary, which has been kindly offered them by the trustees of that institution. In addition to which misfortune, the hundred labouring people employed in the factory are thrown out of work in the midst of winter.

The flames were so rapid, in consequence of the great length of time necessary for the firemen to repair to this extreme part of the city, that scarcely an article of furniture or other property was saved from conflagration in the houses destroyed. Mr. James Ryer, foreman of the his family.lodged in the premises, and were surronded by the flames when they were waked from their slumbers, and narrowly escaped with their lives, in a state of almost entire nakedness. While we were engaged in a house opposite the scene of destruction, this morning, in taking minutes, two joung gentlemen from the Episcopal Seminary presented themselves, and offered the inmates, in behalf of that institution, whatever immediate relief their condition demanded, with a request to be in formed, without delay of any cases of extreme distress.

By so doing pre vious to the first day of April next.they will receive a credit for two years and six months, fCT receipt in full, for that period will be printed in the paper which will be sent to them.cOl All others who shall neglect to comply with this reasonable proposition will be charged according to our terms, vizs live dollars for two years.

In order to prevent any misunderstanding, however, we shall those who shall be two years in Arrears five dollars, whether they reside in or out of this county. Some may suppose that one or two years subscription is such a trifle, that it could be of little or no importance to us, this is all a mistake, we have a few hundred such trifles on our book, the aggregate of which would amount to a very considerable sum; and which would be of great service to us. We hope this notice will be attended to by all those whom it may concern. To those who have so liberally patronized this paper, and been so punctual in their payments we tender our most grateful thanks. Mr.Robert R.Guthrie of Bloomfield, is authorized to receive all moneys due us for subscription in Perry County.

James Thomas (National Republican) was, on the om lust, re-electro Governor of Maryland, for the ensuing jcoi. On Tuesday last, a special election was held in Westmoreland county to fill a vacancy occasioned by the resignation of James Findlay, Esq. appointed Secretary of the Commonwealth. The candidates voted for, were Major John B. Alexander and George Furrell, Esq.

The Greensburg Intelligencer of Friday returns from twelve districts, which place Maj. Alexander, 566 votes ahead, and seven districts to hear from. The intelligencer adds: "in most of which Mr. Farrell will proba bly have majorities, but we think he cannot come up to the Major by 3 or 400 votes." Symptoms of returning reason. In the Volunteer, of last week, we find the following honest and candid ex uression of opinion: "As things have turned out, we wish the President, had taken the advice of Messrs.

Duane Cass and M'Lane, and let the deposites remain, in the Bank of the united States, until the expira tion of its charter in 1836." Independent of the impolicy of the act, the President, had no right to inter Jere, with the deposites. Their remov al belonged to the Secretary of the Trea "kand to him alone. But even this Iestionable. The friends of the institution, Required nothing more, than that the question of removal, 'Should be submitted to Congress, to the contract, made between the Stockholders and the Government, as expressed in the charter of incorporation. But this would not suit the cabal at Washington and the New York stock-jobbers, who were fearful that Congress would not order them to be removed.

They argued, and perhaps cogently, that if tney were actually removed, that body would not dare to restore them, against the expressed will of the Executive: or if it had moral courage a thingwhich Mr. Duane says, is not known at the seat of government to do so, the old heroe's blood, would not sanction the act. He would veto it, substituting his will for law. The New York Journal of Commerce, another anti-bank paper, lets the cat out of the bag, thus: "As we have reason to believe, that the principle opposition to his resignation (Mr. Biddle's) comes from Philadelphia, we have another remark to make, which is this.

Tlie people must Jiave a bank, embracing the general fea tures, of the Bank of the United States; and if the Philadelphians, will not let us re-charter theirs we must have a new one; and that new one will be located in Tw York." correct habits need trouble themselves to apply.
