The UNCERTAINTY, &e.—ln New York, about a year ago, a young man was arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to ten ,years' imprisonment for a burglary and shooting the police man who attempted tcY arrest him.— Last week two burglars were arrest tedpand committed, to prison, who have now confessed that they were the parties who committed, the burg lary and shot the policeman, and that the man suffering inTrisoutilent there for is entirely innocent. GOT SENSIBLE ALL OF A SUDDEN.-- The Philadelphia banks have come to the conclusion that the plan of their Clearing-house system will not work, and have resolved to discontinue so much of it as compels country banks to keep their money there for the re.- demption of notes. They have found that it costs more than it is worth. The Philadelphia Merchants, also, are dissatisfied with it, because, as they say it floods them with the issues Of inferior banks, a great dis tance off, and troublesome to collect. We presume however, that the real reason the large trade they have lost, as also the bad feeling engendered in the country against Philadelphia, by their ill-advised action. Hereaf ter, we presume, as the city has dis covered that there is sonic metal in the country, it will endeavor to, get along less haughtily, and treat its country friends in the true spirit of friendliness. - The interests - Of 'both are so closely linked together that it is difficult for either to prosper with out the other, and hence, the truepol iey should be to work together and for each other. Let there be no op pression on either side hereafter. Irat•• The recent election for Mem bers of the Constitutional convention in Kansas is about a tie : If the Dem ocrats have not, a majority; they have sufficient strength- to prevent the-I.n -cOrporation' of 'any foolish; provisions into the Constitution by 'the opposi tion. The disappointment of the-op position in the Kansas election is aw ful, and all kinds.of stories are trump ed up to ease them in their failure 'of their anticipated signal success.— They are now crying out "fraudulent voting," &c., which, as well as the in dictment of "fifty Democrats," for il legal voting at Leavenworth, is 'suffiL eie,ntly answered by the Leavenworth Herald, that there has been no session of the Grand Jury in that county since the election, and that "Republican judges presided over the ballot boxes in every Ward in the city." NW- Our neighbor of: the Courier says that the title of "L. L. D," recently conferred on President But:ha:llan, is supposed to mean "Licensed to Lie Dreadfully." If political difference will justify such disrespect—we will not say indecency—we trust the oP, position will forever monopolise the stock in trade: In the some column, the Courier says that the "Buchanan administration has been squandering a a hundred millions of dollars a year." The question now is whether the Courier would not be justly entitled to :the title of "LicenSed to Lie Dremen donsly." From the WWllosion BMWs (Douglas' Organ.) Without any explicit information upon the subject, we utterly discred it the statement contained in a Phil . adelphia letter to a Wew Yoitk:jour :.nal, that Senator Douglas con tern. plates withdrawing definitely from the canvass of next year in favor of . a distinguished aspirant. That Sen.' ator Douglas is willing,. indeed desir outs; to postpone his claims for anoth er-term, we think not. improbable,— But we are quite sure that he has not' utterance to an expression of his preferences, as to the nominee, fat :the - succession. If ho declines to be a candidate himself—forbidding the use of his name asSuch 7 -we shall expect to see him' entering the convention as a delegate, where he Wilirigidly Bern. , tinize the-qualifications of the differ. - aspirants, and throwthisinfiuenee into the "scale of the'nian whom he be lieves.to be best entitled to the confi dence of the Democracy. WEBSTER ON A BRIDGE.---A publish er received an order from the. coun try the other day for a "new pecto,r al copy of Webster on a Bridge."— The firm was at a loss for a'few min utes to know what to send their coon try 'customer, but luckily decided cor rectly, and sent him Wqbater's Picto rial,tincibridged. ti& - The opposition over-rcaelled themselves in their refusal to pass the Post Office appropi iation bill last COn grees. To help themselves out of the scrape they arc 'lying most terribly." They charge the administration with throwing away millions upon overland mail contracts, while the petty post routes are reduced. The administra tion is not responsible for the large contracts. They were established by express law of Congress and must be carried out. The opposition party enacted most of these contracts, as will be seen by reference to another article in this paper headed "Govern ment Expenses." The little routes are under; the supervision of the P. O. De partment, but, as has been stated_ here tofore; the opposition, by their refusal to furnish money to luaint ain them; obligate the Department to bring the expenditures within the current re ceipts of the Department. hence, we repeat, that it is by the votes of the opposition in Congress that the administration - ;is . 'saddled with the ebiltintlinec of Usde:ss - Contraets volving the expenditure of millions, and also, by the Votes of the same party, refusing the "furnishing Of supplies," as they would have done to . our little army in Mexico' in ISI7, that the necessary mail facilities of the public are reduced. The opposi.; tion members of Congress had an ob ject in-view when they defeated the Post Office Appropriation - bill. They ,knew well enough . that the - Mail fa cilities would have to be reduced, or, that the officers of government would have to - violate their oaths of office by maintaining expenditUres without authority of Congress. It was not likely Ih'at 'the latter 'would be the lint they calculated upon the former, which case they presumed that the people would not have sense enough to place the responsibility where it - properly belonged, but cen i sure the administration. In which case considerable political capital would accrue to the oPpositiOri party -for 1860. The result will prove that they overreached . theinseivea, and that the People are no rsuell big fools as they imagine them to be. k-trs.- Messrs. Kelm and Cochran the opposition candidates for 'Surveyor and Audi tor. General, design canvass lug the state this fall. Will they so licit votes on the strength of their personal - merits or of the 'merits of the party they belong to. If the lat ter, perhaps we shall then be enabled to learn what the merits of the op position are ; alro, whether the candidates are for or against allow ing' megroes to vote, and obliging adopted citizens to wait two years af ter naturalization for the same privi lege. They will, no doubt, also ex plain the results of the refusal of their . party friends in Congress to pass the Post Office Appropriation bill, and al so the object of the same gentlemen in their refusal to aid the President in a revision of our tariff lawS for the encbtiragdnient 'of "tile Coal and Iron interests of PennsylVania. All these • matters Nvill be elneidated—prehaps. We trust Messrs. Rein' and Cochran will visit Lebanon at an early day.

Eighty-four years have chips ed since the American revolution broke out,and seventy seven years have passed by since it closed. It is not to he e'xpected, in the course of nature, that many who took part in that im mortal struggle should be spared up on the earth. Nevertheless, a few, by reason of strength, have held out un til now, and we have been much in terrested in reading in the National I Intelligences• an account of the exact number who were living at a recent date, as shown by the rolls of the Pen sion Office. It appears that the Peusion Office had upon its rolls on the Stith of June, 1858, the names of two hundred andl fifty-three Revolutionary soldiers.— Of this small remnant of heroes, iu formation has been received that dur ing the succeeding half-year forty-six went to• their long account,leaving up on the first day of the press at year two 'hundred and seven survi- , roes. In all probability the mortali ty from - the beginning of this year to the present time has reduced that number fifty at least, leaving on the Fourtik of July of the present year, but one _hundred and fifty-seven sur vivors,--a remnant that will speedily be swept aWayl3ythe inexorable hand of death. But a f3w years more,----it may he only a few months---:-and not one of the band of patriots who fought the battles of the Revolution will be left.among The age of some of the soldiers who are on the Pension Roll are sta ted to have been froni 100 to 103 years. At the period above referred to, thqre were 4200 windows of Revolutiona ry soldiers under pension rolls,: - and in six months death -diniinishes that number by 295. Of' those living at the beginning of'the present year, for ty-five were the wives of Revolutiona ry soldiers before the termination of the great struggle.

Queer coincidences octur occa sionally. Three children of Captain James Somers, of Potato Neck, Md., were married on the same day and about the same hour—not one of them know ing that either of the others intended marrying. The father was profoUndly ignorant of the OCeltirrences until some hours afterward. The circumstances are the more remarkable as all the par ties were married in the same county; and not far apart. Ansunu Aaron Bond, a farmer rcsiding, at Lyon's .Farms, Es sex county, N. J., committed suicide on Thursday, by cutting his throat with a razor.

Modern historians' sometimes affect to believe that Egypt could not have'sustained the immense population which is ascribed to 'her in ancient tlines... But her land so fertile by nature, has produced with Yankee culture, 70 bushels to . the acre. The revenue to the government frOm the rice lands ulnae is $29,000,000.

It is said to have once contained a mum my holding in its hand a piece of papy rus, on which was inscribed. "Thou who seekest me here seekest sold. I am but dust." Among the traditions respecting the pyramids was one that they were built in honor of a lady.
