The most important business that will be brought befoie the Legislature of Pennsylvania, now in session, will be the election of a United Stales Senator, in place of Ir. Stciibeox. The DcmoiMats have a huge mnjority on joint ballot, and I'tndui have it in their power to elect a member i( nut own Tarty to fill the highly important office mentioned.

Harribbuho, January 8. The opening of the Legislature has thus far been attended with most interesting results. This is a consequenea flowing out of the harmonious course resolved upon by the Democracy, and which it is to be hoped will be.observed during the remainder of the Session. Up to Monday evening the all absorbing question was, who shall be Speaker! Although a host of candidates were announced in the early part of the canvass, by degrees the number grew less, until at length all had withdrawn, save three Mr. Cessna, Mr.

Rhev and Mr. Scofield. The contest now be- What Coustltutts a Male What constitutes a Siate Not hih raised battlements or labored mound, Thick wali. or moated gate Not cities proud, with spiree and turrets erowned Not bays and broad-armed ports, Where laughing at the storm, rich navies ride Not starred and splangled courts. Where low-bred baseness wafts perfume to pride No: men, high-minded men, With powers as far above dull brutes endued In rorest brake or dew.

As beasts excel cold rocks or brambles rude Men, who their duties know. But know their rights, and knowing dare maintain, Present the long-armed blow, And crush the tyrant, while they rend the chain, These constitute a State, And sovereign LAW, that Stales collected will cr tnrones and globes elate, bits impress, crowning good, repressing ill nbyher sacred frown!

The authorities deemed the matter of such importance as to demand an investigation, and ordered the remains to be taken up for examination. When the grave diggers and officers approached the spot, our poor living friend heard their footsteps, but knew that without a miracle there was no deliverance for him. They struck their spades deeply into the yielding clay, and vigorously worked their way down.

Nearer and hearer they approached the coffin, and astonishment, and hope, and despair, by turns took possession ot poor as he distinguished their progress. Once he thought they were at hit grave, and he should soon be free. Then again he was convinced that they were further off, and his doom was sealed forever. Again he was persuaded they were body-snatchers for the anatomists. As they came still nearer, however, his mental energies became excited to the highest degree, and at that moment one of the diggers gave a stroke with his pick that knocked off the edge of his coffin, and produced such a concussion, as instantly restored his long lost powers of voice and motion.

Occasionally, as we glance over a paper, a small paragraph, huddled id among the most tri-fling squibs and news items, announces that on opening a grave at silch and such a place, the body within the corhu was discovered to have been turned completely round; and the wise "local" will, with profound gravity, wonder what could have produced such a result! Mr.

a resident of one of our western cities, while reading a newspaper wherein one of these occur rences was noted, suddenly fell back in his chair lifeless, at.d bis bead dropped down low upon his shoulder. In that situation he was discovered by ht family. He breathed cot, and to the frantic cries of bis wife and children not a siugle pulsation of his heart gave evidence of consciousness. A medical man was soon on the spot, but after a slight examination admitted thai he knew of no art by which the father could be again restored to his family. The widow and the fatherless children were conducted to the most secluded part of the house, that they might pour into each other's ears the came interesting; the friends ol the reapenttve candidates laboring with most commendable teal in behalf of their favorites.

So close did the chances run, that on Monday morning, all seemed doubt and uncertainty; but as the hour for the meeting of the caucus advanced, there appeared little difficulty in the minds of the members in tt gard to the fortunate man. Cessna's star was in the ascendant, and on first Ballot he was chosen the candidate by the following handsome vote: Cessna, 34 Rliey 17 3 This important matter disposed of, the Speakership of the Senate next claimed attention. Coo jecture wa rife as to the cause ol the Whigs. Rumors of the disaffection of Senator Brooke were industriously circulated, in every direction, by Whig and Democrat. The hopes of the candidates for the offices in the gift of the Senate, suddenly sunk be low the freexiog point, while Democratic stock was at par.

The Whig Caucus met, but Senators Brooke and Savery were among the missing, and the Whig Caucus adjourned without doing any thing. At 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning it again met, and with similar results Brooke and Savery being still amongst the absent. At 3 o'clock the Senate met, and hundreds of spectators crowded the chamber in anticipation of some rich scenes. But in this, they were disappointed, as the grave Senators preserved their dignity, and conducted themselves throughout with a decorum highly creditable un der the circumstance. Several balloting were had; through (he whole of which, the Democrats, with commendable unanimity, gave their entire strength to their worthy former Speaker, Senator Mc- Caslin.

The Whigs, on the contrary, were as widely separated as the antipodes. A dozen candidate were voted fur, and Senator Brooke, with one eye lo number one, always reserved his vote to the last, with the hope ol securing the election of a particu lar friend, or, what seems more likelv, his own. But disappointment is the lot of mortals, and Sena lor Brooke's maeffiuvenng was not successful. Dis pirited by hint had transpired, a motion was made to adjourn over to Wednesday morning at 11 0 ciocii. In the meantime, another l2ucus was held Senators Brooke and Savery still anient.

WATERMAN A SONS. ittt.t f'i, lb tuiniiwe if mal'tlit n.irlv no ruinations, Every candidate name goes oetore the Caucus, with the clear understanding that the one who receives a majority of votes shall be declared the choice of the party, and the friends of all other candidates will honorably abide by the result. Such being the established usage of the party, we take it for granted that the Democratic members of the Legislature, now in session at Harris-burg, will not depart therefrom. If, therefore, any member who was elected as a Democrat, should refuse to go into the Legislative Senatorial Caucus, or having gone in should afterwards refuse to regard its action as binding, such person thereby makes war upon the principles of our party; is a traitor to its organisation, and should never be trusted again. If ever the People of Pennsylvania decided any matter by their vote at the polls, we thinli they last October decided that no one but an honest, talented, patriotic, radical Democrat, should be elected U.

S. Senator. Had a single person who came before the people as a caudidate for their suffrages previous to the last annual election declared that he was opposed to going into Legisla tive Caucus or proclaimed that he was in faunr of the election of that unprincipled renegade, Si- Cahehos, to the U. S. Senate, we think we are perfectly sale in saying that he would not have received ten votes in his district! So decided are the Democracy in their opposition to ihe disorganizing and dishonest schemes of ('axibux, that no man calling himself a Democrat would have dared to huve avowed himself the political friend of that 41 bold, bad man," previous to submitting his name to the judgment of the People.

We think that the duty of the Democratic members of the Legislature is clear as the noonday sun fhey should all go into Caucus, and then agree to honorably abide by its decision. Any other course would be attended with disaster to the party. So far as we are informed, every good Democrat whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Seuatorship, will allow his name to go before the Caucus.

J. Morse was shot and instantly killed by Mrs, Sarah Ann StilU man, the wife oT John A. Stillman, who is by trade a painter. Morse waa a carpenter, and leaves a wife and four chiitlren. The Commonwealth aays Mr.

Stillman resided in a small house near the walls of the new Femt'e Seminary building, now in Ihe course of erection in Marion. Morse had been at work on the new building. Mr. Stillman was absent, while his wife and three small children were left at home by themselves. The report of the gun aroused the neighbors who upon repairing to the spot found the gun of Mr.

Stillman lying on the floor, with one barrel empty, a hole through a pane ot glass and Morse on the outside dead, with a shock ing wound over the right eye, his face blackened with powder and his brains literally blown out." It is truly a tragical affair. Mrs. Stillman is a small and delicate female, and we are sure that she must have believed her honor and perhaps her life in great peril, before she could have been induced to lake a gun even into her hands. So fearfully alarmed was she that she fled from the house in her night dress, after firing the gun, leaving her children where they were found and conveyed to her al the neigh bor's, where she had taken refuge. We learn from a private source that great excitement prevailed the licit day, and that public opinion fully justified Mrs.

Stillman.

A. Slander Nailed to the Counter. The following article which we copy from Saturday's Chronicle, completely refutea a wicked Slander widely circulated by Captain Guthbie'i enemies No OlSE, we presume, is disposed to object to the Dispatch favoring whom it likes best for thesMayor-aity but when thai sheet, or any other, that claims moderate share of respectability, resorts to open, direct, positive and palpable falsehood, to injure it gentleman, it is time that a check should be put to the calumny. The story or the Dispatch, that Capt. Guthrie opposed the election of Patrick McKenna to the Mayoralty, because he was a Catholic, un.

true the ttory that Capt. Guthrie opposed Mr. McKenna at all is also untrue. At the time Mr. McKenna was a candidate for the Mayoralty, Mr.Guthrie was a citiien of Peebles Township.

There is not in the City of Pittsburgh a more tolerant gentleman than Capt, Guthrie. Raised in one of the strictest Protestant sects, he does not think it necessary to interfere with the religious opinions of any one because he would permit no one to interfere with his. In conclusion, it may be of tome interest 10 the Dispatch to know that Mr. McKenna understands the shallow game which its advisers lire attempting to play off upon some of our Catho. lie citizens.

He and his particular friends are among the warmest supporters Capt. Guthrie has in the community. The Dispatch will perceive from these facts, the necessity of some other calumny to injure Capt. (iuthne the one charging him with opposition to a man, because of his religious opinions, is beneath contempt, even if il were not known to be a shocking falsehood. Sad Accidemt.

The Greensburgh Intelligencer of Friday says We learn, that while a number of men were engaged on Tuesday last, in putting up a Miil in Sewickly township, a large piece of timber fell and struck Isaac Dewees on the head, kiifiug him instantly. He waa a temperate, uidus tnous man, and hat left a family. Four other perrons were more or less iojared at the tame lime." Sony of their hearts, unchecked by the presence of strangers whilst in the chamber of death the hasty preparations for burial commenced. When the evening came, many sympathising friends called, to sit by the corpse during the hours of darkness. The night wore away with those who sat by the dead, for they soon became lively enough indeed, the widow was often startled trom her dreamy grief by what ahe thought sounded like boisterous laughter, a9 it came up from the chamber where her dead husband lay.

When the gray tints of morning began to streak the east the watchers went to their own homes, and stillness reigned for a few hours. Then relatives and friends gathered in, and low whispers and tiptoe steps denoted the solemnity of the oc casion. The brief twenty four hours which custom sanctions, were over, and the dead man was carried to his lowly resting place, and covered with earth bedewed by the tears of his kindred. Slowly the stricken family returned to their desolate home; but now the living demanded at tention as well as the dead, and no time could be spared for mourning in sackcloth and ashes, but outwardly they were compelled to exhibit their usual activity in the vocation which procured them a subsistence, however their hearts might be breaking with grief. Weeks and months rolled along, and the cares and vicissitudes of the seasons gradually mellowed the poignancy of grief for their dead protector.

Bat stay he it not dead There he lies, alive, in bis horrible prison, aud be knows all that has happened how, whilst he was reading, some in stantaneous change came o'er him, which deprived him of all power of motion, and paralyzed every faculty but tnose of thought and hearing how he was prouounced to be dead, and placed in his coffin how merry the watchers were who sat by his side how he was borne to the grave; and how the clods rumbled over bis keaJ, yet not loud enough to drown the soul-thrilling shtteks of his wire and little ones. He struggled in an agony of despair to cry aloud, but the nightmare of death was upon him, and when he beard the last soot-steps of the retiring funeral train grow faint in the distance, he felt that he was lost lost forever. In this state of despair all consciousness left hira. Time was merged intt eternity, and he laid, may be for a few minutes, may be a week, as unknowing as the mouldering remains of his neighbor in the adjoining grave. At length thought again took up its abode in that fearful tenement, and the greatest honor that uiiburied man has ever imagined haul the spirit after death, whether it be ki To bathe in fiery dsous, or lo reside In thrilling restores of ttoek-nbbed ice Fo be imprisoned she viewless And blown will, violence about The world Or any other frightiul thing that pen has ever written falls far, far short of the mental agonies endured in that imprisoned body.

At one time fancy conjured up the idea that the naruial heat of his body bad gradually filled the narrow coffin, and having no means of escape was condensing itself into elemental 6re, and eating its way slowly, oh, bow slowly, into bis riesh. The anguish of that voiceless sou! was pent up, but the convolv' ing fiery streams of a volcano were heaving his brain, whilst the. body was being consumed by inches; for there is no hurry in the grave At length the powers of nature were exhausted, and sleep calmed ail for a season. Ah wretched man, could thy sleep but last lorever, happy were it for thee; but no such boon shall fall to thy lot. Were even thy power of motion unlocked, perchance life might be shortened by the violence of thy struggles.

But no; all is still as death. Now the spirit again awakes, and this time is frightened by the thought of suffocation. We may exclaim of a dead man see. hii faee is black and mil of biood His eyeball further out than when be lived, Staring full ghastly, like a strangled man His hair upreared, Itis nostrils stretched with slrug-glmg But what is that in comparison with the living spirit imprisoned in a body as motionless as a statu, of marble, yet suffering endlessly all the pangs that man on earth can feel but for an instant. Oh, it is too horrible.

After suffering by this phantasm of the brain for a period which seemed an efernity because no incident external to his own being could show him the lapse of time and mark its flight; he was at length relieved from the power of bis terribly excited fancy, and judgment was permitted once more to have tway, in that dreadful abode. He now perceived the full force of bis hopeless condition. Buried six feet beneath the surface of the earth surrounded by graves away from the tide, of living men hopeless of any corpse being deposited near and, worse than all, deprived of every power by which he could draw the attention of any who might approach, even should the spade graze the very coffin which enclosed him What then was to be his fate 1 Evidently to lie there the prey of every horror that man or devtl could conceive, until, in the course of nature his wooden tenement should moulder into dust, and the slimy reptiles of the earth crawl about over his powerless body and level for years on his flesh, sucking him away by atoms, and chasing each other over his blackened and unresisting face, in the wantonness ot satiety. In this situation we leave Kim, for the pen cannot express, nor can the fancy conceive, all the dread horror of his condition. The sun rose and set, and days and nights passed, and gladness was breathed over the earth in every gale, as time continued his course through many weeks but zephyrs play not in the grave, nor does the sun shine there iu his gladness.

The horror of hot- rors dwelt alone with poor Mr. and these details could nsver have been given to the public, if one ot" those chances which sometimes bring most extraordinary things to. light, had not occurred.

The Senate has just been organ ied by the election of Mr.

Matthias, Speaker. As this could bet-fleeted only by Mr. Matthias own vote, several of the Democratic members relieved him from this unpleasant necessity bv withholding their votes thus giving him a majority on ihe second ballot. Brooke was rebellious until within fifteen mtnul.s of the opening of the Senate, when be suddenly wheeled into rank-i and pulled as vigorously as any other Senator for the regular nominee. It is said that Judge Myers threatened to vole for M'Cashn, if Brooke did not retreat, hich threat, it is thought, brought the rebellious Senator to hit business.

The elections and appointments yet to come off, will tell whether he was influenced by a promise or Judge Myers' threat.
