SEIUOCS RESULT OF A HOAX.—Some time since a coarse practical joke was played up on a young gentleman, named Jcssup, a clerk in tho dry goods establishment of Mr. Leo, on Fourth streot, by Stephen Smith, a young gentleman who formerly edited the Forest Garland. Letters purporting to come from an intelligent and romantic girl, were sent tc Jessup, and he, being quite a ladies' man, responded in amorous epistles. The correspondence was continued for several weeks, and at hist a meeting was agreed up on. The lady wrfs to pass Alt'. Burnett's sa loon in a carriago, and at a signal, Jessup was to hand her out. Of course ho was till mpatience for the arrival of the happy mo ment. A number of those in the secret ere present, and when to tho horror of Jessup, the lady proved to TIieTruits' of \the Nebraska Bill. When Mr. Douglass moved and Gen Pierco'seconded tho repeal of tho Missouri Compromise, all they intended ;to do was to commend themselves,to tho good graces of Slaveryj^by extending its Empire. But what they actually have brought about is a different and unexpected state of things. Here is tho record :— A Whig Senator from Maine. The overthrow of the President's best friends iu his own Stato of New Hampshire. Tho conversion of tho Administration Party into an anti-Administration Free Soil Party in Vermont. A Free Soil Whig Senator from Massa chusetts. The substitution of a Whig for a \Dem ocratic\ State Government in llhodo Is land. Two Whig Senators, a Whig Legislature and Whig State Officers in Connecticut. Annihilation of the President's Party in New York. Ditto in New Jersey. The same in Pennsylvania. Consolidation of a great Republican party opposed to tho Adm n'stration in the prjvi- i ously \Democratic\ Stato of Ohio. A second editiou of the same work in Michigan. A third one in Indiana. A fourth in Wisconsin. The choice between defeat and withdrawal of all tho Douglas candidates, in Douglas' own State of Illinois. A Whig Legislature, Whig Congress man, and two \Vhig Senators in tho \Dem ocratic \ slaveholding State of Missouri. And lately, a Whig find Free Soil Gover nor, Legislature, Senator and Congressmen in Iowa, whero the reign of \Democracy\ has hitherto bee: unbroken. r> . * ,p , Oil idussiip, uio jauy proven to bo a very sootv Ruyter, commencing I.tesday, September I weiu ./, } they were overjoyed at his shamJ, and the result of their trick, -'invention to ing to the action of 5th, and continuing four days and evenings under tho direction of WILLIAM B.

Resolved, That wo denounce that abuso of tho term \ Not.

That deliberate repudiation of tho Slave •Power, on the very first opportunity, of the 6olcmn compact forced upon our fathers by its representative?, whereby the Territories now known as Nebraska and Kansas, were consecrated forever to freedom, has absolved' us from all compacts and agreements outride the Federal Constitution, with referenco to slnvciy, and we now take our stand distinct ly on tho principle that all territory of tho U.

Mr. Noble, of Onondaga, referred to the fact that the delegates from that county were instructed lo go for a new political organi zation ; buthc believed the proposed amend ment, for an adjourned Convention on the 20lh, unrestricted, would bc more judicious. Mr. Fowler read a \ Know Nothing\ res olution, which was laid on tho table. Mr. Raymond's motion then prevailed, with scarcely a dissenting voice, and tho motion lo now nominate was voted down with equal unanimity, and both votes wero announced amid deafening applause and cheers. After the adoption of the severnl resolu tions—of all which received a nearly unani mous voto—a proposition lo adjourn pre vailed. The spirit of the Convention was excellent, for although the brief time allotted to its deliberations produced some confusion at any indication of tcdiousncss on tho part of speakers, there was no sign of real discord or disaffection. Results Were reached in n spirit of fraternal conciliation; and tho Convention separated with the evident pur pose of pushing on the column of Freedom until the holy ends aimed at shall have been achieved. The sentiment seemed very generally to prevail that some ono of tho parties would reiterate t he views osnresscd by tho Conven tion, and place tbvtr candidates upon a Plat form equally based upon tho principles of Liberty and Justice. So well persuaded were the delegates of this, thafprobably not one-fifth of them were in favor of an imme diate nomination. They did not wish to nominate a Ticket for the mere sake of its nomination ; but they desired to contribute lo tho election of men truo to Freedom.— This will bo done; and I have as much faith, in the wisdom of their action on the 20th of September, .-is I hnvo pleasure in recording the results of their labors to-day.— Cor.

WE had the pleasure, last week, of a visit to the orchard of AI.HEIIT (JAUD, FSII. and found that those \early apples\ were fully ripe, delicious,and \gloriously mellow\ —in fact they seemed perfectly adapted lo every variety of taste, the most uncultivated, as well as tho refined and fastidious. Mr. CARD has evidently paid considerable atten tion to tho culture of fruit, but he is now amply compensated by tho possession of as fine an orchard as we have seen, some of tho trees bearing such a burden as to threaten the \dislocation of limbs.\ THE Fall Term of the Oneida Conference Seminary will commence next Wednesday, Aug. 30, Various improvements have been made, in the Lecture Rooms, and other parts of tho Seminary building, during tho last vacation, and tho institution was never in a better condition for the accommodation of students than it is at present.

Several persons were arrested, among whom was his brother, WILLIAM JOHDAN, who has frequently threatened his life, according to the testimony produced before tho Coroner We have not learned the result of the in quest. THE TEMI'EIIAXCE CONVENTION at Sara toga, was a very important and enthusiastic gathering. Speeches wero made bv Messrs. KELLOOO, WILDEH, SKINX-EK, BEKCHEK, BciiLEiaii, MAUSII, NoiiTiim I* and RILEV. Tho Resolutions adopted were of the right stamp, but aro too long for us to publish. JESSE FUEEMAN, who was slabbed by Pe ter Kahlcr, in Syracuse, a few weeks ago, died last Thursday night, from the cirect°of the wound received. Kahler has been rested on tho charge of manslaughter. Not satisfied with this, Smith had the let ters published, with such comments and slight alterations of names its informed eve rybody who was meant. Jessup, who is a worthy but sensitive young man, was much annoyed by the consciousness of the ridicu lous position in which he. was placed, and the jeers of his acquaintances. Discovering that Smith, to whom he had in the confi dence of friendship shown his letters, was the author of the hoax, ho was naturally stung to the quick. Smith and Jessup met in the telegraph office in Hamilton, on Sat urday bust, and an altorcation ensued, which resulted in Jessup shooting Smith. The ball passed through the neck, and Smith is probtibly dead ere this. Jessup was arrested to answer. Wo would not have blamed Jessup for cowhiding Smith, but think shoot ing him was carrying the joke rather far.— dun. Columbian, Aug. 14.
