XXXVIII. NO. 6. THE SUN. The Border Tr.or3LE ix Missouri.

Oidl War Threatened. The fact that the Secret League of comity, lias given Mr. Park, the late editor of the Parkvilie Luminary, who is on. a business visit to Parkvilie, notice to laave the place immediately or he would be lynched, his. been brought to the attention of the iegislalure of that Stale, by a member, Mr.

Blair, who, on. th 13. oliered a resolution cnllin-j itpon the (jovernor, and, if necessary, the President of the United States, for such aid as might be necessary to protect Mr. Park iu his person and property-This motion gave rise to a protracted arid sharp debate, and finally resulted in rejecting Mr. Blair's motion, ivpon the ground that when the Parkvilie people need the aid of the Governor or President theycot.ld get it by the asking.

In the meantime great excitement prevails at Parkvilie. It is said the League have threatened to destroy the town if Park does not leave. Two undred of the leading citizens have held a meeting and requested Mr. Park to remain. At the same time a committee was appointed to meet a committee of the secret body, when they came into the town, and represent the wishes and determination of the citizens of Taikvi'le.

The St. Louis Democrat says: Much discussion took place on the streets, and Maj. Richardson Col. Summers, Col. Burnes.

Capt. Burner, and o'hers, made speeches to the crowd in support of justice and right. When the committee of the secret organization arrived they were met bv Col Burnes, and much exciting discission ensued, when the committee left town. Next dav another committee arrived. Iu the meantime several men from the surrounding counties bad gathered into the town to defend Mr.

Park. Anxious to restore psace, Mr. Park made an address to the committee declaring that he had come in a private capaci'y totransact business, and while he could never conceded single right he was ready to do anything that was manly arid honorable to prevent the effusion of blood: it he was in the hands of his friends. Col. Burns then asked them if they were satisfied, to which they responded, Cel.

Burns then said: -'Then let the principle be settled in blood. We ask the honors of war. Set your dav and we will meet you: bat don't sneak down in the night. Come openly, and bleed will How as freelv as in the Mexican war. We flcht for principle, for right' ColTSummers added: them come, and the streets cf Parkvilie will be hotter than hell in fifteen minutes.

Meetings, both of the friends of law and order and of tbe secret league. continued to be held irp to the time when our information terminates, and all kinds of exciting rumors prevailed. informant learns that propositi 311? for civil war and disunion has! been strongly urged by members of the secret league. Mr. Park, it will be remembered, gave offence to those who now pursue him by some strictures, on the slavery question in his paper (The Parkvilie Luminary) last spring, when it was seized by a mob and thrown into the river.

He had up to that time resided many years in Parkvilie. and was in fact the founder of the town. Is A UXIVERSAT.IST A COMPETENT WITNESS? We briefly mentioned, recently, that in a trial at Jackson (X. Superior Court Judge Manly held that a person professing the doctrines of Universe lis was an incompetent witness, and in accordance with that decision ruled otit two or three witnesses. The decision very justly give rise to some feeling of ir.digaation among those who profess the doctrines of the Universalist Church, and from the proceedings of a late State Convention of the denomination we find that the following preamble and resolution were adopted AYhereas.

we have learned with surprise and regret through the public press that His Honor Judge Manly, at the last Superior Court of Jackson. N. decided that Universalists are not competent witnesses in a Court of Justice; and whereas, we believe such a decision is not only a flagrant outrage upon the increasing: and respectable" denomination of christians called Universalists. but unconstitutional and inimical to this republican government: Hesolved. That this Convention proceed forthwith to take such measures as they may deem expedient to have their claims and civil rights protected in this our boasted land of civil and religious liberty.

For the benefit of those who do not understand cur Faith, we insert our Articles of Belief We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament contain a revelation of the character of Gcd. and of the duty, interest, and final destination cf mankind. We believe there is cue Gcd. whose nature is love, revealed in our Lord Jesus Christ by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore the whole family of mankind to holiness and happiness. We believe that holiness and true happiness are inseparably connected, and that believers ought to mixntairi order and practice good works, for these things are good and profitable unto menl" A Romantic Incident.

A soldier who was present at the capture of Sebastopol relates the following romantic story: "A party of men belonging to different regiments were paroling from house to house in search of plunder. In one of the houses thev came across a beautif il young female about 17 or 1J years of rge. Of course, some ignorance was shown ainonsrst the partv, who commenced to drag her aboutT and would have used violence to her had net a young man belonging to the '-lr-th' taken a musket and threafened to blow the first man's brains out that laid a finger on her; whereupon the young woman few to this man and clung to him for protection. She followed him all the way back to the camp. when, coming in sight of his camp, he beckoned her to return; but she would not leave him.

Whether she had fallen in love at first sight I knew; but she came to the camp with. him. As soon as he got there he was instantly confined for being absent when the regiment was under arms. She followed him to the guard tent, and cried afier him. The colonel of his regiment, seeing the affection she bore him, released him, and sent tfcem both before General Harris, where an interpreter was got, and she related the whole affair to them.

'-It turned out that she was the General's daughter, with some thousands. She was beautifully attired, carried a gold watch, and wore a set of bracelets of immense value. The young man is now about to be married to her. She will not leave him upon any account whatever: and if Le is not a lucky dog, 1 don't know who is." The above may be true, but it sounds apocryphal. Letter from the Pops.

A letter from the Pope, addressed to the Archbishop and Bishops of the province of New York, dated in January last, lias just been published in the Freeman's Journal. The object of the communication is to recommend the friends of the church in New York to co-operate in the establishing at Rome of a college for the education of American clergymen. The letter, after suggesting the establishment of the proposed college, says: "For your wisdom will instruct you how great advantages may redound 10 your dioceses from an institution of that kind. Because, by this arrangement, youth chosen by you. and sent hither as the hope fit religion, will grow up as in a nursery, and imbutd herewith piety and with an excellent education, and drawing from its very fountain a doctrine incorrupt, and learning the institutes, and the rites ar.d holy ceremonies iu the method of the church which is the mother and mistress of all others, when thev return to their country, will be able perfectly to discharge the office of a parish priest, or of a preacher or of a professor, and to shine as an example of life to the people, to instruct the ignorant, and to bring back the erring to the paths of truth and justice, as well as, by thevarmor cf sound doctrine, to confound the madness and refute the fallacies of men of guile.

If you will ratify this our desire, which looks into the spiritual good of these regions, we certainly, as much as lies in us. will not'omit to assist you w'ith all diligence, that you may establish the said college."

Henry Ward Beecher is said to have assigned the following principal reason for charging high prices for hi3 lectures: 'T do not lecture for the sake of high prices, but I have demanded high prices that 1 miaht get rid of importunities for lectures beyond my abilities to meet." Mr. Beecher seem, by this confession, to lack the moral courage to say no to a request annoying or inconvenient.

Paui sr. ro-tt Pa of Dr. Beale. It appears that Dr. Beale.

of Philadelphia, who has just been pardoned by the Governor of Pennsylvania In 5 served out very nearly one year of his term of four years and six months, camme.icing 0:1 tb.3 23tb. of November last. The Ledger says 'The pardon states the reasons which induced, the Governor to extend this favor. He had received communications from about one hundred and forty dentists and twenty-three physicians, of this city and the country, stating their belief that testimony as to matters transpiring under the influence cf ether is unsafe and unreliable; from a number of other physicians named, that the)- believe him innocent; from a large number of the bar, and citizens of various States.lnclitding the names of Governors, Attorneys General. that they believe he was convicted on insiuiicient testimony; from a number of clergymen, that they believe him innocent; rom the Mayor of Philadelphia, and fifty members of the Philadelphia City Councils: from members of the Legislature.

Judges of the Supreme Court, editors of Philadelphia newspapers, and five thousand other citizens of Pennsylvania ar.d New York, with five of the jury on the triaL all asking for his pardon." After enumerating all these facts, the Governor says the inspectors of the county prison hive unanimously recommended the pardon, for various reasons, among them the failing health of the prisoner, and the destitute condition of his aged parents and sorrowing wife and children. Finally) the Governor declares for himself that, careful examination, he is now satislied that Dr. Beale jio? guilty of the crime whereof he stands charged, and was convicted upon evidence unreliable in its character and insufficient in amount." Baltimore and Charleston. The New Orleans Bulletin makes the following comparison: 'At the beginning of the present century, the population These two cities was about equal. Then Charleston enjoyed a far more valuable export trade: she had a' larger and more extensive commerce, and was surrounded by a larger amount of improved land, capable of producing crops the most important in the world.

She was ahead of Baltimore In 1J0 Baltimore had a population of while Charleston numbered tt 43.100, and the prosperity, the commerce and tonnage bore the same ratio cf increase to the population. The cause of this word erf :1 change is simply that while Charleston depended upon -great staple' products and commission merchants, (whicb. alone can never make or support a citv.) Baltimore encouraged and established the mechanic, artisan and handicraftsman thus making a home market for the products of her soil giving occupants for her dwellings and stores, and filling pockets to aid in paving faxes. In Baltimore can be seen on every haiKl the smoke issuing from the chimney stack of the manufacturer and the artisan. There van will find extensive ship yards, where thev build the finest vessels in the world, and own them too; not only deriving the benefit.cf a permanent mechanical 'population that constructs them, but reaping also the advantages of manning and victualing these vessels, and receiving the returns fromf reight earned.

One city has relied upon great agricultural advantages and commission merchants, the other has created her present prosperity, and sustained her advance in every respect." Affairs in Baltimore County. We copy the following from the Towsontown Advocate: Accident. On Saturday last, some young men from the city were on a gunning excursion in this neighborhood, ar.d wheri on the Pot Spring F'arm, of the number. Mr. Henry Clav Merryman, son of the late Micajah was 'badly-wounded.

It appears that Mr M. was stooping down cracking a nut by the side of a fence, when a bird f.ew up. Mr. John Ham-mam one of the company, was on the other side of the fence, raised his gun and fired over it at the bird; at the same instant Mr. Merryman rose also, and the load took effect in his head ar.d face, the principal part in his forehead.

Two shot entered the cavity of the eye. and fsars entertained that they have entered the brain, but at this time we understand he is out of danger. Tke Xti? Sheriff. Our new Sheriff, William Pole. who was qualified before the Orphans' Court on Tuesday riiorning last, and entered "upor.

his duties, gave the following gentlemen as his securi'ies: Joshua Zimmerman, John L. Gibbons. John E. Turner, Luke J. Pearce, Joshua Gent and Henry Frantz.

He has appointed as his clerk S. Storm, Esq. (irtot Yitll of Corn. Messrs. Patterson Sons Joppa Mills, in the 11th district, raised this season barrels of corn 011 12 acres of ground.

The corn was measured in a corn barrel, not guessed at. This is hard to beat. They had in corn this season in ail 20 acres, and raised 27'J barrels, or 13 19-20 barrels to the acre. Curious Discoveries in Guatemala. Tin Remains of Antique Cities.

A letter is given iu the New York Tribune, from the pen of Abb; Eourbourg. a learned French priest, in which he claims to have discovered in Guatemala the remains cf various antique cities of great magnitude and solidity, also some most precious monuments of the languages and history of the aboriginal people long anterior to the arrival of the Spaniards. What will be the most surprising to scholars, and will, doubtless, be received with'some incredulity, is the assertion of M. de Bourbourg that these languages contain undeniable relics of various Scandinavian and Teutonic tongues, Danish, Swedish, English, and even some Oriental words are said to be found in great distinctness and purity, mingled in the early dialects of the country, while Indian traditions declare that their ancestors emigrated from the northeast by sea. through mist and snow.

From these philological remains and these traditions M. de Bourbourg concludes that there was a migration into the country from the settlement of the orthmen in Massachusetts. If true, this is a most interesting contribution to the history of the American continent, and the public will wait with impatience for that more complete account of it which M. de Bourbourg intends to lay before the world, with the documentary evidence sustaining his conclusions. Fori Teachers Devurei by Cannibals in one of the South Sea Islands.

The missionary-ship Williams," named after the leroic martyr of Eromanga. has recently completed a voyage among the New Hebrides and other westerly groups. The journal of the voyage says: "On reaching the Island of Fate the distressing news was brought on board that some of the teach- ers. with their wives, left there on the last voyage, had been barbarously murdered Only nineteen days after they were landed, under the most cheering circumstances, the two Raratongan teachers and their wives were murdered to furnish materials for a horrid cannibal banquet. The real reason of this sudden act of cruelty could not be Fencing Railroads.

At a meeting of the Beard of Directors of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, held at Wilmington, N. on the 17th the following resolution was passed: Resolved, That the Superintendent lie authorized to make arrangements for fencing the road, wherever the same can be done at the joint expense of the company and the owners of the land or other persons. The Lafayette and Indianapolis Railroad is to be fenced in its entire length. In France the railroads are not only fenced, but have hedges planted along them, which, when fully grown, will be impenetrable to men or cattle. Post-Office Affairs.

Virginia and Pennsylvania. The Postmaster General orders the following: Change site and name of the office at Falling Bridge, Campbell county, to Nowlin's Store, and appoint James B. Nowlin, postmaster. Appoint Thomas G. Clagett, postmaster at Nealsco Mills, Prince William" county, vice Z.

The oflice of Special County Judge in St. Lawrence county, was vacant at the lae election, but the fact was overlooked, and no provision made for it. A half dozen wide awake gentlemen in Canton discovered the omission, and on election day seven votes were cast for William II. Sawyer, and the boatd of county canvassers hive declared him elected. He is a "Hard-Shell," and the success of a gentleman of that stripe in St.

Lawrence is so near a miracle that the fact is deemed one of the wonders of the canvass. Albany Eve.Jovr, A New Lieutenant-Governor. Last year, owing to the death of the Lieut. Governor of Missouri, the Senate of that State elected Mr. Rawlins to that office.

A few days since, when the Legis lafure 'convened, it was found that the ConstituJ tion required the election to be viva voce, and the votes entered on the journal. This not having been complied with, the post was declared vacant, and another election was ordered. Meanwhile Rawlins had joined the "American" party, and the Benton men, being opposed to them, refused to support him. They nominated Mr. Morris and elected him.

Intermarriages and their Fruits. Block Island is so isolated from the rest of the world, that the intermarriages of those more or less nearly related by blood are more common than elsewhere. The consequences have been very unfavorable in the physical condition of the inhabitants. The Providence Journal mentions the death, at that Slace, of Mrs Nancy Dodge, wife of John F. odge.

A great proportion of the inmates of the asylums for the deaf and dumb, the blind and the idiotic, are found to be the product of the intermarriage of cousins. wmmmmmmm Virginia and Tennessse Railroad.

The commissioners for opening new streets have completed their assessments for the extension of Fort street to the waters of the Patapsco river, ar.d have given notice of the intended opening of Hanover street to the same river.

These contemplated improvements, it is supposed, will greatly enhance the value of property in the southern portion of the city. The above streets will run through the burial ground of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and while the removal of the dead is to be regretted, yet ample provision will be made by the commissioners for their decent disinterment from the beds of these streets. The opening of Fort street will principally damage that portion cf the grave yard known as the '-strangers' ground." whilst 'Hanover street will take away the public vault, and other memorials of the departed. In view of these improvements, many persons have removed the bodies of their respective grounds to o'Ler places of interment, whilst the present action of the city will require rrther attem icn 015. the part cf all interested in the remains which yet rest there.

Assaulting and Beating. Lieut. George Ellis yesterday arrested Samuel Merrill, mate of the brig Washington, of Portland, Maine, now lying at the dock here, rear the drawbridge, on the charge of assaulting and beating James Bain, the captain of the brig, having, as he alleged, attacked him in the cabin and thrusting him out.

Prcceediuj of the Courts. V. S. Circuit Court. The James Cheston Cases.

Before the Hon. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney and Judge Wm. Fell Giles. The following case was resumed yesterday: United States vs.

Capt. Joseph L. White, master of the American ship James Cheston. indicted on the charge of feloniously, wilfully and corruptly casting away and destroying said vessel: also, on the charge of conspiring, combining" and confederating to cast away and destroy said vessel for the purpose of defrauding certain iasurance companies. Wm.

Meade Addison. District Attorney, and Charles Marshal, prosecuting. S. Teackle Waiiis, counsel for the prisoner. The question raised by Mr.

Wallis the legality cf the indictment, the vessel being laid therein as the property cf Galloway Cheston, whereas theevi-dence showed that Hugh Jenkins had a half interest in her, was argued by Mr. Wallis. and authorities quoted. The Court, through Chief Justice Taney, decided that the indictment was sufficient, tiie legal ownership of the vessel being in Mr. Cheston.

The United States called the following additional witnesses Galloway Chestcn re called by Mr. Wallis. Capt. White had no interest in any shape or form in the vessel none that he kr.ew of in tiie cargo. Capt.

White had no interest in vessel or cargo that could have been advanced in the loss of the Vessel. Capt. White took charge of the vessel soon after her launching, and discharged his duties up to the time of sailing to witness' entire satisfaction; he was always at his post. The general character of the Captain before the sailing on this voyage was good. Bv Mr.

Addison. Neither of the mates had any interest in the vessel. A list of the shippers in the James Cheston was presented and read. Neither Capt White or the mates are among them. Lemmon testified that Capt.

White told him he had given the log-book of the James Cheston to the reporter of the American. Witness is a clerk in Galloway Cheston's store. Zinker testified that he stowed the cargo in the James Cheston on her first voyage. Philip Ililtz, his foreman, stowed the cargo sent down to Annapolis roads. When the vessel left the wharf there was room for 800 barrels jet, which was sent down in steamers to Annapolis roads.

Myers testified that he is the shipping mas- ler who shipped the crew of the James Cheston. He shipped 16 men and 4 boys, cook and steward, for the vessel-about a full 'complement of men for the vessel. The crew was a fair one has shipped worse and has shipped better crews. The ship was seaworthy with the crew. By Mr.

Wallis. Seamen were scarce at the time the crew were shipped. All the men except two or three could speak English Galloway Cheston, own request. Up to the time of the occurrence in the ship, always held Capt. Wrhite in the highest esteem: his duties prior to sailing were performed with fidelity and promptness and to witness' entire satisfaction.

At 11 o'clock the United States closed its testimony for the prosecution, and Mr. Wallis stated to the jury the ground of the defense set up for the prisoner. He had no doubt, when the evidence was thoroughly analyzed, of the acquittal of the accused; they were not to try him for want of seamanship, timidity, oraught else save the chirgeof wilfully casting away, and conspiring to cast away, the ship, to defraud the insurance companies. They would introduce testimony on which they should rely for a prompt acquittal of the prisoner." 1 The defense then called the following witnesses: 1 John Thomas testified that he was one of the boys on the ship James Cheston; lives in Pratt street. Is IS years of age and has been to sea two voyages.

They had very bad weather afcer leaving the Capes pumps going all the time. The skip leaked very badly and has often seen the water over the sounding rod, which was two or two and a half feet long. Could not sty how much the water was over the rod. They were kept at the pumps night and day all the time never left them after leaving the capes. The morning of the day the ship turned to St.

Thomas, the water was five or six feet deep ln the vessel. At times the men would call out that the pumps were sucking, in order to get a little rest; the pumps were not sucking at the time. Has seen a new leather put in the pumps, and the pumps kept going four hours at a time before they would suck. Slany of the men had boils and sores on them from the water, so that thev could not g.alon; they were kept at the pump's when they could not go aloft. The men would wish themselves dead many times rather than go to the pumps.

The water in the tank was salt, and witness would as leave take a dose of salts as drink any of it. The water in the cask was the only fresh good water on board. On the afternoon they left the ship one of the men bored a hole in the hogshead in the bows to get a drink of good water before tkey left. The water in the tank was salt and bad enough to kill anybody; and if they had staid mucalonger there all bands would have died. By the United State.

The allies had burned the villages of SchaddfF-ka, Karauit, Tuzcla and the town of Saki; also many farms and stores along the route. Gunboats, manned by the crews of the former Black Sea fleet, are stationed below Passka, and batteries are being erected on both sides of the river, which is only C(HJ fathoms wide. The object of this was to defend Nicolaieff against the bombardment of the allies, which has been commenced. It is stated that the Emperor Alexander had been induced to leave the place before the bombardment began, but the Duke-Constantine could not be prevailed upon to quit the town. The inhabitants of Nicolaieff and Cherson are informed that those cities may be attacked, and large numbers have gone into' the interior at government expense.

It is reported that Odessa will be disarmed, and the guns there sent to icolaieff. It" is' confirmed that the Czar and the Grand Duke Constantine witnessed the capture of Kin-burn, from Otchakofl'. The Czar has returned to St. Petersburg, direct from Nicolaieff', without staying at Warsaw.

LOCAIi MATTERS, The Hcrr.t of the Friendless The first anni versary meeting of this most useful and. benevo lent institution tooK place last evening in the Charles Street M. E. Church, under very en couraging auspices, the spacious structure "being nnea witn an attentive audience, representing many religious denominations of the city. The exercises commenced at 'y, o'clock with an earnest and fervent invocation of Divine Grace by Rev.

Thomas Myers, pasor of the Strawbridge Methodist Episcopal Station, followed by the singing of an appropriate anthem by the admira-choir, conducted by Jacob H. Tavlor, Esq. The official report of the Society was then read by the pastor of the church, Rev. Wm. B.

Edwards. It appears from this document that the institution was commenced on the 1831. when a dozen ladies organised a "House of Industry" and a "Home for Friendless Vagrant Girls." Through the liberality of one of the number a small house was provided in which to commence operations. Each lady also paid in her annual subscription, ar.d in two days thereafter the "Home" was in successful operation, being Thanksgiving day, on which the children of the outcast and hitherto neglected crowded in to a feast which had been expressly prepared for them. The number of ap-plicants'steadilv increasing a commodious house was obtained, and the sphere of benevolent operations extended.

The design of the institution is to afford a refuge, a christian home fGr homeless, friendless, and, worse than all, vagrant girls. They are taught the rudiments of an English education, the use of the needle, and general housework, arid prepared to enter into the service of christian families. A matron resides in the house, and has general oversight and superintendence of its and one 'or rriore managers are in daily attendance to assist in the instruction of the children. During the year they have had over 100 children in charge, some of whom were enticed from the streets by the good ladies in connection with the institution, whilst others have been kindly brought in by the more excellent and hunane police of the citv. Nearly 1000 garments have been made and distributed to the poor children.

The report is well written, and contains many interesting facts, but the extreme lateness of the hour at which we received it, precludes a more extended synopsis. The speaker of the evening, Rev. Mr. Pease, well known throughout the country as the minister in charge of the Five Points Mission in the city of New York, was then introduced, and de livered one of the most eloquent and thrilling speeches upon the subject of Causeway Missions which we have ever heard. An interesting narrative in relation to operations pursued at the Five Points Mission, was listened to with undivided attention, which plainly evidenced the great usefulness of mission work when conducted upon the practical principles which seemed to have characterized the untiring labors of the friends of that mission.

Mr. Pease concluded by reciting several inter esting cases where thorough reformation had at tended even in tke cases of the most abandoned and desperately wicked characters, who were now living in the most respectable families in York. Mr. Pease having concluded his remarks, Rev. Dr.

Fuller arose and made a few remarks, commendatory of the object of the meeting, at the instance of the ladies in charge. I the most earnest and eloquent manner he begged the citizens of Baltimore present not to fail in a generous and liberal support of the Institution. Rev. Dr. Burnap, of the First Independent Church, then made a few remarks explanatory of the report of the treasurer, which he read, from which it appears that the receipts of the society siuce its formation amount to $1,330 17; expenditures S704 leaving a balance in the treasury of $625 63, inclusive of the receipts of two fairs, one of which, holden at the residence of Mrs.

T. I. Chifl'elle, yielded S42 67, and the other in the establishment of Messrs. R. producing SO.

Mr. Burnap, in a few words, made a touching appeal in behalf of the Institution, after which the choir again sung a fine composition, when the meeting adjourned after a benediction by Rev. Dr. Fuller. The collection taken up amounted to about $300.

Run Off Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a horse a'tached to a wagon driven by a lad named George Wentz became frightened whilst passins along Madison street, near Charles, and dashed off at an ungovernable rate of speed. The lad held on to the last possible moment, but the jolting of the wheels over the rugged stones which were strewn along caused him to fall out upon the ground. He was kindly taken up in the family carriage of Mrs. Howard, and, after receiving theoest of assistance at her residence, was conveyed home to his mother's house, on French street, in charge of a servant.
