A chap was ridden on a rail and ducked at Indianapolis last week, for whipping his wife. Good for him. A Mrs. Bedford was accidentally burnt to death at Clarksville, Tennessee, on the night of the 3d inst. Among the many striking things said by Kossuth in his speeches, was the following: ra? The editor of the American is decidedly displeased with the result of the Mayor's election.

He does not know, exactly, who to blame for the defeat of his candidate but as he must have a victim, he has lit upon Mr. Boyles, one of the county Coumissioners, and he puts him through without mercy. Now, what Mr. Boyles, as Commissioner, had to do with the electiou of Mayor, or how he played the Judus Iscar-iot" on an occasion -most interesting to the people of Pittrbnrgh, is beyond our comprehension but we suppose the editor of the American knows all about it and will explain hereafter. We may remark, that we have no personal acquaintance with Mr.

Bovles, or any member of the board, except Mr. King a gentleman whom we have known from boyhood but we consider this attack upon him unjust, and, coming from an organ of his own party, basely unjust. It ie a reproach upon the voters of the county who pnt Mr. Boyles into office. If he is the kind of a man Biddle describes him to be.

they KnTe done a great injury to their fellow citizens, by putting him into office if he is the kind of a man tee believe him to be honest, up-righ and impartial we form this opinion of him from the fact that the American abuses him.) the editor of the journal referred to, slandered him most grossly, and should apologise forthwith.

PITTSBURGH THURSDAY 16. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. IOB PRESIDENT Of TUB TJS1TED STATES: A IS BUCHANAN. OF PENNSYLVANIA; SuA-e-t Jmw tks Vemacatic ii'-te-al roieenrinrt. FOR VICE WILLIAM R.

KING, OF ALABAMA; Subject to tht tame decision. We receiveTjeMerday New York papers of Monday moraine, Ja 6th only nine days old This is the kind of reform introduced by whiggery. jfi-We are indebted to the Hon. Joseph Lake of Oregou, for a copyjof his speech in reference to the settlement, soil and climate of Oregon Territory. Kotnth Meeting tn Cleveland.

By a private despatch from Cleveland, Ohio, we leant that there iras a glorious Kossuth meeting held in that city on Tuesday night. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed. A committee was appointed to meet the illustrious Magyar in Pittshurjrh, and invite him to visit the Queen City of the Lakes. THE ELklCTION Is over, and John B. Gptiirir is again elected.

Although the successful candidate is a uniform Democrat, we do not claim the result as a Democratic triumph. It has been achieved by the will of the honest, moderate, and peaceful citizens the city, who prefer a competent municipal chie' magistrate to mere party man. We have never been in favor of making the office to which Mr Guthrie has been re-elected, a party contest. The duties to be performed have nothing to do with party matters. They relate only to the peace and good order of the city, and the safety of every citizen, without stopping to enquire to which party they may belong.

In this spirit Mr. Guthrie has discharged the duties of the office for the past year, without undue respect to persons or parties, and his re election is conclusive evidence that the citizens approve of the wise and impartial course he hast pursued, and we are confident that in this spirit his administration will continue. We cannot but congratulate our feilow citizens for their prudence in choosing bim for a second term, and knowing him as well as we do, we are certain that he never do aa intentiona wrong to any member of our community. WHAT THE WHIG PAPERS KAY. We presume our readers will be anxious to know what the whig papers say concerning the election of Capt, Gcthrie.

Ou the morning of th election, the Commercial Journal broke forth in the following truly alarming style, which was certainly calculated to shock the nerves of all the old ladies in town The Mto4LTT We earnestly hope our Whig friends will take into consideration the im-poitance of the contest for Mayor. The columns of the Morning Pout show us that the Democracy of Greensburg, Bedford, Washington. Philadelphia, every where in the State, are look -ing to the result of this day's struggle with excited iutere-t. They expect the election of Guthrie, and are anxious record it is ntauother victory of the unterrified Democracy, over the comhined forces of "federal Whiggery" and protection, in that hot bed of federalism. Pittsburgh While this city is sunk in the depths of distress, threatened with accumulated disaster, from the effects of the Democratic British Tariff of itflo, we are asked to strengthen the hands of the party that Iiiia cursed us with this anti-American law.

Mr. Guthrie is one of the stoutest friends of the British Tariff. Re-elect him, and will not that fact moraily strengthen the Free Trade party You may talk as you will of city elections having nothing to do with politics ben politicians are the candidates, we all know that they make their offices teli in faror of Oinr party. Think of this. On the day after election, finding that all his gas about the British Democratic Tariff of 1SI6," "anti-American Ihw." Free Trade party," was unheeded by the Whigs, the editor of the Journal turned dictator, and talked in this wise: Toe Result.

We are called upon this year, as last, to deplore the election of a Democratic Mayor in this Whig City. Mr. Guthrie is elected by a trifling majority; sufficient, however, to disgust and dishearten those steadfast Whigs who, adhering to the party through good and evil report, are compelled to witness, year after year, the Bicrifice of our nominees to the whims of lukewarm members of the party. If our organization is worth preserving, it must be pursued, and nut held to-day to be relaxed to-morrow. We utter no complaints of the past, but a word of warning ia now proper.

This abandonment of Whig nominees, by known Wbigs. must stop here, or the party faiU utterly, for all good ends. We fear mischief has already resulted from the defeat of Sawyer. But we must set ourselves about repairing the wrong. That's plain enough talk, surely.

This abandonment of Whig nominees, by known Whigs, MUST atop here," says Mr. Riddle. Whigs, you all hear the imperial ukase, and act according. The Gazette thus speaks of Mr. Guthrie's election: The Election.

By the returns in the column of home nutters, our renders will discover that Mr. Guthrie has been re-elected Mayor, by a small majority. This result has originated from various causes. The carelessness and indifference of Whig voters we thick will be found the principal reason another is the large vote received by Barker, which came chiefly from persona who usually vote with the Whigs and another reason is, that many Wbigs alarmed at the reports that Barker stood some chance, and being induced to believe that Guthrie was a stronger candidate than Sawyer, threw their votes for bim to defeat Barker. We regret the result, on Mr.

Sawyer's account, as he had a' right to expect the support of the Whigs who had nominated hint, and who have a handsome majority in this City. There is some consolation, however, to be drawn from this defeat. Barker has several hundred votes less than last year, and falls greatly behind his competitors. Although we feel that he could have received as many votes as he did, yet we rejoice that the strange infatuation which has possessed a por-Uou of our population in regard to that person is dying out. Mr.

Guthrie has made a good officer, and no doubt owes his election to this fact, in addition to the cause mentioned above. wish our readers to notice an importuut admission in this article from the Gazette. It is this "the large vote received by Barker, vhick came chiefly from person. who Uy roU the We are pleased to announce that the Deacon has changed his opinion conjerning Barker. He says: we feel mortified that he Barker could have received as many votes he did." When Barker was elected Mayor two years ago, the Deacon proclaimed to the world that he was "a strong Whiy and an origini friend of Gen.

Taylor." A HtJSGAMAS News-Vender. A few days ago, says the Petth Naylo, a vender of engravings made his appearance in the capital of Hungary, and peddled his wares through the streets witn very little success. Among his stock was the representation, of a steam-vessel anchored in a quiet cove, and discouraged with his indifferent custom, the dealer boldly named the picture The Steamer Mitsimppi, in the harbor of Spez-zia." In a hour or two the whole batch was gone, at prices ranging from one to three all their officers, and they are all whigs but the Sergeant-at-Arms and the Doorkeeper, who are Natives all children of Whig and Native amalgamation. Geu. Packer this morning introduced a bill to repeal the 4th and 6th section the Kidnapping Law, and of course it will pass without any dif- ficulty.

Mr. Sanderson also read in place a bill pro viding for the immediate completion of the North Branch Canal, and the very favorable disposi tion of the Legislature, as heretofore expressed towards this branch of the public works, speaks well for the success of this bill. It is now certain that Kossuth will be here on Tuesday next. The Secretary of State has re turned anil gives this positive assurance. A letter from Kossuth himself has also been received to the same effect.

A committee consisting of five members of each house has been appointed to determine what action the Legislature will take on the occasion of this visit. There, no doubt, will bo formality, feasting and eloquence. No business of the least public interest was done in the House to-day. Several private bills of an unimportant character were read in place. No petitions have yet been presented, the Standing Conunittcs not having been announced.

As was hinted yesterday, this will not be done till FRANKLIN. Female Physicians. We are gratified to learn as we do, by a correspondent, that there are nine Ladies attending Lectures at the Homoeopathic College in this city, instead of two as mentioned by us on Sit-urday The more the better. The subject of Female Edocttion is attracting the attention of some of the minds in the country, aud the F.t. Rev Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, in a letter to Mrs.

Stmh J. Hale, speaks as follows: "The importance of securing fur women a larger sphere of usefulness, a id the especial propriety of qualifying them for the practice of the healing art among children and those of their own sex, will be admitted, I should hope, by all persons If there are those, however, who think otherwise, 1 cerlaiuiy am not of the number; and I should rejoice heartily in the success of every effort which is calculated to promote such object." Our correspondent writes "Two of these. Miss Cooke of N. V. city, and Mrs.

Brown of Cleveland, attending last winter, and notwithstanding the novelty of their position, commanded the respect and won the esteem of their teachers, and fellow students, an 1 sb u'd any attempt be ule to exclude them or other ladies from the privileges of the school, there would be both "storm and rebellion" iu good earnest. Of their intellectual attainments I need suy nothing both are highly accomplished and educated, and possess the first order of "tal ent and literary acquirements." Miss Cooke is a rezuisr graduate of the liternry institution at Oherlin She will tak the degree of at the close of the session, and designs to estabUsh herself in N. city as a regular practitioner Her attainments as a medical student are unquestionable, ari as she never does anything by ha! ves, we nave uouount out tlist Der patients wnl fiu themieives in safe hands and under able treatment Were it not tr being tedious, we would say muvh of the high qualifications and de porttnent of Mrs Frown, Mrs. and Miss Clapp Mrs Bianchard, Mr- lUwnnn and others, but wishing merely ta make a correction, we are not willing to inflict upon you a long article." Claea. fhe Kplrote.

The allusion of Kost in his speech Wednesday evening, to ('ism, the Epirote. re quired some of his hearers to turn to their cias sical dictionaries. There they learn than Ciueu-was a Thessatian, the friend and minister of Pyrrhus. King of Epcirus. He the most eloquent msn of his dy, and reminded his hearers of Demosthenes, whom he hud heard speak in his youth.

Pyrrhus was wout to t.y that "the words of ('mens ha 1 won him more cities than his own unus." Alter the battle of Hera-ciea, he w.s sent on an embassy to Home with proposals of peace from Pyrrhus and such whs his wonderful memory, that (we are told, on the day after his arrival he was able to address all the senators and kuihts by name. The terras he offered were, that all the Greeks in Italy should be left free, and that the Italian nations, from Sanitiium downwards. sliouM receive back all they had forfeited to Rome, liar I as were these conditiutis. such were the necessities of Rome and the persuasiveness tJf Cineas that th Senate vrould probably have yielded, if the scale had not been turned liv the dying eloquence of oi Appius Claudius The amha-s-sadur returned and told the king that there was no eople like the Romans fVf fhrrr city teas a t'mi'le, their gentile un atsemlihj ot The felicity of the orator's allusion is not impaired by the direct and unintended compliment to himself for we do not believe that Cineas, with all his persuasiveness, argued his cause more eloquently before the Roman Senate thau M. Kossuth before tne American Congress.

AV-yuhhc nln New Pbkss. Mr. Montague, editor and publisher of the 1'ittsfield "Esgle," has invented a power press, on which be now prints his paper. We understand it will print "J.i.Mhi sheets the hour, the forms being fastened in an upright positiou, aud the impression giveu by a cylinder. It may be worked by steam or hand power, and can be made at a cost of $tUiO for single cylinders, and 750 fr double cylinders.

England expends more tuouey for beer thau for bread consequently the business of the brewers is larger and better than that of the bakers. Bk, 'he Engineer's report to the Pittsburgh and Steuhetivilie Railroad Company which we published yesterday, a typographical error occurs which injures the sense. In describing the route passing near Frankfort; instead of "by Mr. Biggerts' Potato Garden," it should read "bv it. Biggerts, Potato Garden Run," Jcc.

Briggs wrote to them The American who can listen to Kossuth's account of his own and his country's wrongs and injuries without emotion, or hear his appeals with indifference, has a philosophy which 1 do not covet, and a patriotism which I cannot envy."

To the Select and t-oiiei7 of the City of t'itlvtitrg: Your Committee, 10 again presenting their unnuiil report, beg leave to refer you to tbe ae-eoinj. anting documents from the bands of the Superinrenderit. Clerk and Assessor for a synopsis of our operations during the past year. It is highly gratifying for your Committee to be enabled to advert to the prosperous Condition which the Water Works is in.

During theyear nothing occurred worthy of attention, to disturb the successful operations of the Machinery, J'ipes, Keservoirs, Ac. Every minor defect occurring, was speedily repaired, and due diligence and precaution observed throughout, so as to reader the Works rapable of fulfilling, to the entire satisfaction of the citizens, the great go- for which they we'e designed. Tbe expenditure, it will be seen, fell far short of the amount of revenue assessed, a circuui-itanee worthy of note, inasmuch, as for many precedent years it was the reverse. It Is now thought that through the aid of the new law relating to the collection of water rents, whereby the major portion of our assessments can be realized, and by a judicious, economical administration of the affairs of the Works, by future Committees and Officers, that the financial results of the last year may always be attuned. Your Committee desire to bring to toe notice of the Councils, in a brief manner, the propriety ot th-ir having the lower engine bouse rendered more secure from the dangers of fire by tbe removal therefrom of the dwelling houses, which were originally attached thereto, and which have continued to be occupied np to the present tiros by the families of tae Engineers.

A-y argument in favor of such a measure would now be superfluous, as its judiciousness and necessity must at once be apparent to every reflecting mind. Yaur Comiuiltec. in coaclusion, respectfully beg leave to testify to the efficiency and well-known ability of the Superintendent of the Works, and also to the practical manner in which all the Officers connected with the department, discharged their duties. Respectfully submitted. James T.

J01131 NOBLE, let Hose fcirector. La We Superior Matter. The Lake Superior Journal estimates the loss of capital to Lnke Superior from the lack of a ship canal at the Saut on last year's business at Hnd is no doubt within the mark. About persons passed the Saut during the last season The Jouriml has December 1st dates from the liuing regions, aud the accounts from the mines continue flattering as ever. The mines in the Ontonagon section doing well, and also at the Cliff, Eagle River, Slc The Marquette Iron Works had worked up all the ure on hand, but would soon get a supply from the iron mountain iney expect to n.ive a urge amount ot blooms for shipment in the spring.

A road has been cut out and opened from ('ar River to Bay de Xouuet, 00 miles. oer a comparatively level country and good soil for a road It forms a feasible connexion between Lake Su perior and Green Bay, and is a favorable route for a railroad. The winter came on sud leuly in the Lake Superior region, without the usual Indiau Sum mer. As early as Dec. 1st: the fall of snow ws equal to three feet in depth.

The water in the Lake is higher before known, and at the mouth of the Ontonagon it is sweeping over all its ancient land marks and tearing up tree of 'M or3U vears growth, an i threatens to un dermme some of the buildings. Ontonagon is rapidly several lare dwellings, pnblic house, Xc are being finished, and the steam saw mill is uot able to supply the lernan 1 for lumber. Good Vew front Old Lancaster. We learn from a gentleman who left Lancaster on Saturday evening, that the friends of Mr have carried that countv bv an over whelming majority, la the City the Buchanan delegates received M-7 votes. ud the Cass delegates 2SO votes Twenty-nine townships out of forty-three in the county, had bet-n heard from, 27 of which elected Buchanan delegates, and 'J elected Cas delegates.

This result clearly shows that all the ridiculous statements made by the Cameroniau press of the Statu in relation to Mr. Buchanan popularity at home, were total ly devoid of truth. The Mi dl'etown Bank cannot control the honest Democracy of Pennsylvania. A A drunkard in Dearborn county, near Harrison, time ago drove his wife from home in a cold as reported to us by the Brookville 'nucrul. She took with her a young child and started to a neighbors.

After being out a whiie. he started a little girl, of six years, after the morher. The child was thinly clad, and started mi her errand. Reaching a small stream, sho couldn't get over it and turned towards home. The Itemurrat snys she had almost reached home in safety, but in attempting to climb the fence around the house, a rail clipped from its place throwing her to the earth and falling acres her neck.

In this position she found by her father the next morning, dead, and oold as the snow drifts urouu i her. Without lifting the rad or removing the corpse into his house, the brute stnrted for an officer to hold an inquest over the body Philadelphia City and oanl). Certain unprincipled politicians are asserting that the friends of Mr. Buehan.vi did not carry the City and County of Philadelphia at there-cent contest fr delegates. The following from the Philadelphia Aryus, a paper that has here, tofore preserved a ueutra! positiou ou the Presidency, conclusively shows that Buchanan is the choice of the Democracy Philadelphia City and County The Delkiiate Election.

L'poii a careful summinit up of the figures in connection with the last Delegate Election in the city and county, we re-affirm we stated on the morning after the election, that the friends of Mr. Buchanan here carried both the city and county by a decided majority, 'ill rumors aud statements gotten up for the occasion to the contrary notwithstanding. There can be no doubt of the facta as we stated them. In this city Mr. Buchanan's friends have carried 13 out of 17 Wards and in the county his majority will reach "JO at least.

There can be no good result from the contradiction of this fact, and upon this statement our friends may rely. The Morsiso Siunkt. This is the name of a new daily paper that has reached us from St. Louis. It is a model of beautiful newspiper typography and iu editorial and selected matter, one of th most interesting papers we have received.

We know some of the proprietors, and we can safely endorse them as worthy of a liberal patronage. We wish them all the suc-oess that good printers and worthy gentlemen should receive. The Mium Feathek. The tremendous slaughter of turkeys, geese, and other fowl, about the holidays, have created a plentiful supply of Magyar feathers, for the caps and hats of the "flash" boys, and other patriotic folk of our city." The Newark Adoertiser says he noticed in our streets one fellow sporting in this way a couple of entire goose wings, so naturally disposed, that, to look at him, one would not have known that anything had happened to th epoor bird. They fitted him exactly, and the spectators seemed puzzled to find out whether one goose had lost his wings, or another one had found a pair.

The Result in Viroimia. The Richmond Enquirer says In correcting our table, we make out Col. Joseph Johnston's majority for Governor, in the whole State, 6906, or within four votes of 7000. The exact vote cannot be known until the Legislature shall count the official returns, in the first week after their assembling. The Senate will consist of 34 democrats and 1G whigs: the House 87 democrats and 65 whigs.

The democratic majority on joint ballot, 0BTT McKjbbin, formerly Postmaster in this city and at present proprietor of the Merchants' Hotel in Philadelphia, is on a visit to his friends here. He looks remarkably weir, and is as much attached to the principles of Democracy as ever. ftg- We are pleased that our excellent Democratic friend A. P. Whitaker, of the Vcn-ano Spectator, has obtained a Clerkship in one of the Departments at Harrisburg, and wiU pass the winter at the Capitol To'aI 122.877 feet.

Making 23,2 u2 miles, and being an addition of over It mile this year. There are a few remaining streets to be supplied from tbe new Reservoir, in which the Committee determined to lay pipe. They will he attended to when the proper time arrives. There were two urgent reasons for making the Liberty street extension. Heretofore, in case of accident or derangement c' -f the extensions on fenn street, near f.

It produced a violent jar or surge at the termination of each stroke of the engines, which was exeeedingly destructive to the entire machinery, and made it almost impracticable for the engineer to control the working parts under its influence. Fortunately it has been removed, bat net until the air vessels were furnished with fonr times the quantity of air formerly supplied thereby imparting to them sufficient clastic force to annul any sudden jar or movement of the pistons. On examination of the pumps, many of the important parts were found worn out and required to he made new.

The valves and seats were all taken out, put in good repair, and they are now doing their duty. The pistoriB in the steam cylinders, containing east irun packing, failed in their performance, and renewal in only remedy, one of thess has been completed by introducing Fulton's Composition packing, an article severely tested, and one which has been in use for years, in other places. The other piston was so far changed, to permit the use of cetton rope, but it is desirable to dispense with as soon as possible, the composition being the most economical and efficient. The main connecting steam chest being so badly arranged as to prevent the engineer from having command of the steam, it became necessary to condemn it, and substitute a new one made on correct principles, which bas greatly facilitated the labors in his department. On t'te end of the new main line of pipes, leading from the river to the water vault, the entrance gate bad never been properly located.

The difficulties experienced in cleaning the vault, made a correct adjustment of it unavoidable, but on examination it proved so deficient in its construction, as to make it necessary to close the end of the pipe in the rivers and re move the gate out of the vault entirely, when the requisite alterations were made on the prin ciple of "once well done, always done," and it is now answering the purpose for which it was designed. Another rather serious incident of labor developed itself within the last year. The first symptom of it was a leak at the base of tbe rock, below the old reservoir. It wag found after digging down, that owing to the settling of the eaeth, the 20 inch ascending main, and the 15 inch descending main, were nearly disjointed, which might have been an uncomfortable occur rence. There are in tbis place four large lines; of pipe.

Tbe rarth under them is soft, and in order to make them safe and easy of access, as jthls is a very important part of the a rough stone or brick arch, over a portion ot them, might be a correct subject for considers ion. Owing to the making out of the wharf on Du-quesne way, the brick sewer had to be extended further out into the river. In consequence of their now being two sets of reservoirs, the cleansing of the same, was commenced one month earlier than last season, and the entire lot of tne new one has been en closed with a good substantial fence. In reference to the proposition made by the people of Lawreaceville for a supply of water, it may be stated, that there need be no unfavorable apprehensions entertained relative to the adequacy of tbe old works to supply the ad li tional demand. The superiority in the performance of the machinery, compared with anv former period, will warrant a compliance with the proposition.

It will be seen that the New Works has ms. a demand on the Old for 42,120 cubic feet per day, which was met with ease. Average daily consumption of fnel, Lower Works 275 bushels. Average daily supply of water 316,800 or 2,369.664 gallons, or 9,900 tons. Average daily of fuel.

Upr, -r Works, 50 bushels. Average daily supply of water 42,120 cubic feet, or 31 j.057 gallons, or 1,316 tons. P.espectfully submitted, Jas. Nelsok, January 9tb, ls.52. Superintendent.
