whom she was pretty sure to meet whenever .she ventured—never without a watehlnl at tendant — beyond the chateau grounds They had always a very respectful, yet, as it were, kindly familiar, greeting for her ; and hand some Paul—it was impossible that .Mademoi selle Benudesert, slightly impressionable as she was in that direction, could help remarking that lie was a very handsome young fellow bad often a fresh hoquet to present, whatever was the season of the year. These rencontres do not appear to have be*i> reported to Mad ame de Vautpre or the Abbe Morlaix, or what they might, and justly, have deetrred the imper tinent audacity of t lie JMperhs, would, there ran be little doubt, have been summarily re pressed. But it wa3 not such love as that with which Paul Delpech had the vanity to believe he lmd inspired the girl-heiress, that, by the time she touched upon her sixteenth birth-day, had ban ished evi-ry tinge of color from the drooping maiden's chock, light from her lyes, wasted Tier finely rounded form, and still burned in her veins with the fever of a consuming passion.— 'Adrienne Beandesert, child or girl of exquisite sensibility was, be it remembered, morally iso lated in her relative's magnificent abode, with po one to love, aud beloved bv none ; the ach ing void thus created becoming, vvitli every passing day, more completely monopolized, fill ed to bursting by the imaged memories of her mother and sister ; of that tender mother, that sweet sister, who so fully reciprocated her gushing, passionate love ; but whom she was only permitted to sre once in each dreary year, and in the constraining presence of Madame la Baron lie ; to correspond with only at .stated intervals, and under the same chilling supervis ion. Adricnne's heart beat wildly, rebellious )y, against those cruel, unnatural restraints ; and who at. all conversant with poor human nature, will feel surprise chat, finding her aunt inexorable, callous, deaf to her tears, entreat ies, prayers, the indignant girl began to listen with kindling eyes and glowing cheeks to re marks upon Madame de Vautpre's fast-failing health, haling herself the while, as she after wards declared, for the involuntary feeling re vealed in those keenly marked, tell tale sighs that in moments of great irritation, words of the like significance, eagerly caught up, repeat ed, exaggerated, distorted, escaped her lips; or that, after a last, supreme effort, preceded by sets of prayers, gone through as if they were so many incantations —votive garlands, suspen ded upon statues of the Virgin and saints—to shake .Madame de Vautpre's fixed resolve, had failed, the girl with much less excuse, because with more deliberation, poured forth her pas sionate feelings to her mother in writing ? This letter she thought to have sent off sur reptitiously, but the treachery of the servant to whom it was intrusted, placed in the hands of M. Morlaix—all the griefs, resentments, hopes, and anticipations by which her mind was di tracted ! The abbe was profoundly disturbed upon reading the intercepted letter ; and im mediately sending for Mademoiselle Beaudes ert, sternly upbraided her with the black in gratitude displayed iu the sinful effusion she had dared to pen ; dwelt especially upon the heinous crime of but imagining the death of her kind relative and benefactress ; concluding with a solemn warning that one of God's heav iest judgments was to curse the wicked with the fulfilment of their own evil wishes. Adrienne Beandesert, was rebuked, humbled, terrified —but not softened or subdued, as she would have been to tears of deepest contrition, had but a few words of kindness or compas sion mingled with the abbe's stern homily.— The strong consciousness that whatever seem ing color or justification, her wild, lsaty ex pressions might give to the abbe's inju rious denunciations, her heart had never for one moment harbored the dreadful thoughts to which those denunciations pointed, helped to sustain her yielding, flexile nature dining the terrible interview ; and not till escaped to the privacy of her own chamber, did she sink upon the floor, crushed, convulsed by the rend ing agony of humiliated pride, degrading ac cusation, and bitter self reproach. Xo doubt, too, she felt, as the tumult ot con flicting passions calmed somewhat, that M. Morlaix would deem it his duty to place the letter, blackened with his own comments, be fore Madame de Vautpre ; and then farewell forever to the visions of future independence and grandeur in which she had, it seemed, not thoughtlessly only, but wickedly indulged.— Not that Adrienne Beaudesert, child-thought ed girl, valued present or prospective splendor very highly, but her mother did—as we, re membering how impatiently Madame Beaudes ert bore the evanishment of her own dream of youthful grandeur, can easily believe—and at her yearly visits, talked privately of the little else than the coming, though it might be dis tant, time, which was to compensate a thous andfold for the bitter past, the halting, unsat isfactory present. Here was a new grief, but, as it proved, an imaginary one only ; as the abbe, whether wisely or not the sequel will show, did not communicate or mention the con tents of the letter to Madame de Vautpre. Du ring these painful passages in Mademoiselle Beaudesert's girl-life, and indeed almost from flie first day, of her domiciliation at the Chat eau d'Km, Jules Delpech had contrived to keep himself acquainted with all that passed there; and with the blind infatuation of a foregone conclusion, persisted ia persuading himself, or trying to do so, that the change in Adriennne's personal appearance, her reported fits of moody melancholy, were solely attributable to a grow ing and invincible attachment to his son—an attachment that would perhaps be openly avow- ■, ed when the tomb closed over Madame de ' Vautpre—an event which, he believed, would not long be waited for. Xor was this sinister belief or trust unfounded. (coxci-rnrn XF.XT WFFK.) FOR Fran. —Col. S. C. Stambaugh, Survey or General for Utah, in company with his chief clerk, Clias E.

The call of the County Committee for a Republican Convention, and the Committee* of Vigilance for the election districts, are giv en this week. We propose to embrace the present opportunity by throwing out some sug gestions, (in accordance with a promise made soon after the last Convention) which we be lieve it would be of advantage to the Repub lican party to adopt. The Delegate system, as practiced by all parties iu this County, for years past, seems to be the only feasible method of making party nominations. It is open, no doubt, to many serious objections, and liable to grrss abuse, but on the whole, after long trial, proves to be as practicable as any which has been sug gested. The manner of holding County Con ventions, might, however, be improved by a little more care and system We suggest that the Republicans of the County, consider the following suggestions, and so instruct their delegates to the coining Convention, that they may be prepared to act, if thought advisable. i. The Time, of Holding /he Convention.— Heretofore our Conventions have met in the evening, and oftentimes have not adjourned until midnight; as a consequence, the business lias been despatched in great haste, and with out that deliberation which it should receive. Many of the members are anxious not to be detained over night, and it is not unusual for a large number to leave as soon as the nomi nees for the more important offices are select ed. When there are contested seats and a large number of offices to be filled, there is not time enough in a single short evening to do the business properly. But if the Conven tion could be called in the afternoon, say at 3 or 4 o'clock, allowing time for organization and the transaction of any preliminary busi ness, theu adjourning, to meet iu the evening, for the purpose of making nominations, ample time would be had for care and deliberation. 11. Manner of Transacting Business. —The experience of the last Convention must have satisfied every one who has given it thought, that the manner in which the business of the Convention is conducted is calculated to give rise to mistakes and to serious difficulty.— More system should be used, and more care, to avoid the danger of dissatisfaction. It has been the custom in making nominations, to take the election districts alphabetically, and call the Durnes of delegates. Their votes are then scored opposite the nameof thecaudidate voted for. It' a mistake occurs ;n tallying, there is no way to correct it, except by calling the roll anew, as it is impossible to tell how each delegate voted. Iu the case of a tie vote as occurred last fall, wheu the clerks did not agree in their tally, it gives an opportunity for much dissatisfaction. This might all be obvi ated, if there could be printed lists of the dele gates, alphabetically arranged, which, would show how every one voted, and by which any mistake on the part of the clerks could be detected and corrected. If the Convention was called at the hour we have suggested, such lists might be provided. This is the maimer of voting in State Conventions. Every one will see the convenience and safety of this method. This slight change in the time and manner of conducting the business of Conventions, would obviate many difficulties which have hitherto been in the way. If the suggestions we have made ore thought of sufficient import ance to merit notice, the coming Convention could take such action as would authorize the next County Committee to call the Convention iu the afternoon. AST- The Erie Railroad is finally at the i bankrupt point. Saturday the shares sold at 5 per cent. It is understood that a tempore i ry receivership will be appointed m a day or two. which will at once relieve the road of a large part of the expensive machinery of ad ministration under which it is at present con ducted, besides opening the way to an unem barrassed change of policy in October. The immediate eause for the appointment of a tem porary receiver is that on Thursday last a judg ment was recovered against the company for $55,000, on sinking fund bonds, and an execu tion issued the same day. Other suits were pending in which the same questions were in volved, and it became plain that if the boud holders wished to protect the property of the corporation, and hold it together for a re-or ganization, some steps must be taken at once A requisition by holders of nearly a milliou of fourth mortgage bonds was made upon the trus tees of the fourth and fifth mortgages, to pro ceed immediately for a foreclosure and the ap pointment of a receiver. The Directors have also cut down the sala ry of the President from $25,000 to $B,OOO. It is presumed that an entirely new orgauiza. tion of the mauageineut of the road will take place. THE AUGUST ELECTIONS. KENTUCKY. — The latest returns indicate that the ten Representatives in Congress to which the state is entitled, will be about equally di vided between the Democrats and the Opposi tion. The Democrats have about thirty or forty majority on joint ballot in the Legislature,and j they have elected their candidates for Cover- I nor and other State officers by seven or eight i thousand majority. NORTH CAROLINA. —In the First Congres ! sional district, SMITH, the Opposition candidate 'is elected, being a gain. The other districts i are in donbt. TENNESSEE. — As far ns heard from twenty | six counties, there is uu Opposition gain of up wards of 2.000. It is thought probable that j they have gained three Congressmen. TEXAS —At New Orleans, on Saturday, it was thought that Gen. SAM IIorsTON, inde pendent, hud been elected Governor of Texas by a majority of from two to five thousand. FOREIGN NEWS. —The steamship Nora <Sco tim, from Liverpool on the 27th ult., with four days' Inter European advices, passed Further Point, Sunday, on her way to Quebec. Her advices arc interesting. Nothing definite had transpired with reference to the expected Pence Conference, nor was it yet known with certainly whether Sardinia would take part in i\ but it was expected that the representatives of the three Powers would meet at the end of July. It was reported that England had giv en assurances of her adhesion to the Congress, on condition that a general disarmament of all the Powers should immediately take place, and it was believed that this important step would jbe taken. Meantime the French fleet had : sailed from Lussino, and the army was report ; od as having commenced its homeward move ment. The London Times ' Paris correspon dent reports that Count Walewski had drawn up a plan for the Italian Confederation, by which it was to consist of seven States, under the nominal Presidency of the Pope, but real ly under the Government of the King of Sar dinia and Naples alternately. Some other de tails of the plan arc given. The relations of France and England were occupying attention on both sides of the channel. An arlicle had appeared in the Paris Moniteur comparing the armaments of the two nations, and disproving the assertion that the causes of the English national burdens were to be found in the ne cessity for increasing the national defences to keep pace with the warlike pieparations of France. There seems to be every disposition on the part of France to assure the English Government and people that the Emperor con siders the Anglo-French Alliance now as ever necessary to the peace of Europe. The night mare of French invasion, however, had again seized upon the British Parliament, this time through the long range of the rifled cannon with which the Emperor is alleged to be arm ing his Navy. In the LivL'rpool Cotton market increased firmness is noted, with a slight ad vance in some qualities. Breadstuff* and Pro visions continued dull. DEATH OK HON. HORACE MANN. —A tele gram from Cincinnati announces the death of the Hon. Horace Mann, President of Antioch College. He died at Yellow Springs Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock. Mr. Mann has occupi ed a very prominent position before the pub lie, as a writer and a lecturer on education, and as a politician. He was born in Frank lin, Mass. on the 4th of May, 1796, and was consequently in his sixty-fourth year. He was educated at Brown University, and practiced law with great success in his native State un til he accepted the post of Secretary of the Board of Education for Massachusetts, in which position he devoted himself with singu lar zeal to his duties. In 1839 lie was elected to the Senate in Massachusetts from Boston, and on the death of John Quiiicy Adams he was elected as his successor in Congress in 1848. In 1853 he accepted the post of Pres ident of Antioch College. Mr. Mann's per manent place in the annals of American biog raphy will be high among those who have de voted themselves to the task, of leaving the world be tter than they found. He had all the faults of a vigorous, passionate, emphatic char acter, and with those faults its virtues too. It is to him more than any single person that the primary school organization of the United States owes its best features ; and to him that we are indebted most largely for the triumph ant naturalization in America of the invalua ble system of Normal Academies for the train ing of teachers. THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. —TIie State Central Committee of the People's party inctat the St Lawrence Hotel, on Thursday last, for the purpose of organizing. Mr. Levi Kline, the President, was in the chair, and the mem bers from Allegheny and Carbon were chosen as secretaries. There was but little business done, the session having been devoted mainly conventional debate, on abstract propositions, which were informally presented. A Commit tee of Finance was appointed, consisting of the following gentlemen R. 0. Smith, Henry E. Wallace, George W. Pomroy, Win. B. Thom as, B. Rush Petrikeu and Levi Kline, Presi dent. The Committee adjourned to meet again in Philadelphia during the present month. JFCG- It is stated that Judge DOUGLAS has written a letter to a gentleman in Virginia, in opposition to the re-opening of the African slave trade. He takes the ground, that its pro hibition, after a certain date, was one of the compromises of the Constitution, which secur ed the acceptance of that instrument, and therefore should be held sacred. LOCAL AND GENERAL. REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON VENTION.- The Republican County Committee having met on the (ith lost., it wa* resolved to call a Republican County Convention to lc composed of two delegates from each Election District, to tie held in the Court House, at To wanda. on MONDAY EVEN I NO, SEPTEMBER 5. 1*59, for the purpose of nominating a Republican Co. Ticket. 'I hey have also appointed a Vigilance Committee in each election District, whose duty it shall le to call pri mary meetings of the Republican electors in each elec tion dis'rict, for the purpose of electing delegates to said County Convention. The Committees of Vigilance are requested to confer together and call the primary meet ings on Saturday the 3d day of Septemlier next, between the hours of 5 and 7, P.

St'SQL'EnANNA CoiJ.KC.IATE INSTITUTE. —The Fall Term of the Institution opens with an entire new programme. Prof. 0. S. DEAN takes charge of the Insti tute, assisted by his brother, Prof. W. H. DEAN, ami sup ported by a corps of experienced and able Teachers.— Arrangements have been made to make the school second to none in the country, in point of the advantages it will offer to the student. Prof. DEAN'S well known ability, experience and energy arc a sufficient guarantee that order and discipline will be maintained, at the same time that such a course will be pursued as is likely most to benefit those placed under his charge. His brother brings with him a high reputation as a scholar and experienced teacher. Mrs. KLLLOGG, the Preceptress, comes highly recom mended, as an instructress and as a disciplinarian. She has had much experience in teaching, and gives up two Other desirable calls, to accept a place in the Institute.— Miss AI.LEN, teacher of Music, is highly recommended by Prof. SHERWOOD, Principal of the Syracuse Musical Academy, and is an aoeompli.-hed Pianist, The arrange ment tinder which Musical Instruction's now given at the Institute, has proved very satisfactory, as it secures to the pupil, a care and attention which was not enjoyed when Music was connected with the Institute. Those designing to prepare themselves as Teachers of Common Schools will find the Normal Department of the Institute to offer superior advantages. Under Prot. Co- BI RNS' guidance, it could not but be of utility. The friends of the Institute may rely upon it, that un der the arrangements which have been made, the reputa tion of the school in its best days will be more than sus tained, as no pains will be spared by the Faculty and Trustees to make the Institution worthy of the patronage of the public. HARD SHOWER. —At a late hour night be fore last the " pores of heaven were opened, and the rains allowed to flow out. At first they dropped in driz zly sprays, but soon the skies began to heave up their rushing thunders and throw out their vivid light, which flashed from cloud to cloud in quick succession, then the rain leaped forth in prodigotis masses and was caught up by the wind and hurled vehemently to the ground. As it dashed wildly against the covering which shielded us Iroin the mad torrents, it made a noise more like that of falling bricks than rain drops. The storm lasted for some time, raging furiously all the while. #*" The local column of the last It'avrrly Advocate I contains the above specimen of hifalutin. We suggest to the loeal man that for keeping the " pores " open, there is nothing like M'Allister's Magnetic Ointment. Is he sure that the "falling bricks" were not from his own hat? fcSr The last number of the New York Century, one of the best literary papers in the country, contains a card from Mr. McElrath, announcing his with drawal from that paper. The Century will hereafter be published by Thomas Lewis McElrath, son of the former publisher. SHIPMENTS of Coal by the Barclay Rail Iload and Coal Company : Previous Shipments 12,.i79 tons.

PIANO FORTES. —Being recently at Elmira, we called in at the Piano Forte Ware-rooms of EI.I ASON, GREENER 4 Co., whose advertisement is familiar to our readers We were shown through their rooms by one of the proprietors, and had the pleasure of examining a large number of Pianos from the most celebrated manufactories. This Firm not only make Pianos themselves, hut they are agents lor most of the principal makers. To any person desirous of procuring a Piano, they offer inducements not to be met with at any other establishment, as the range of makers and prices from which to choose is un equalled. STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. —This body met at West Chester, on the 2d inst., and was very fully attended. The exercises which were very interesting, consisted of addresses, disenssions, 4c. The Executive Committee presented a report through Prof. COBI KN , the chairman. The report eoutains several tery interesting facts in relation to the prosperity of teachers' institutes throughout the State. It appears that there were three hundred townships or district iustitutes held during the year ; and that allowing ten months to the year, and twenty-four days to the month, the time spent by the teachers in drilling in the institutes, is equivalent to one hundred and thirty-eight years, Ave months and ten days. The following persons were chosen as officers of the Association : Pi esident —Charles R. Cobnrn, of Bradford. Vice Presidents —J. L. Richardson of Luzerne, Jona than Gaurs of Chester, David Dennison of Allegheny, and Mr. Weaver. Recording Secretarie* —Wm. Sterling of Philadelphia, and Samuel D. Ingram of Harrisburg. Corresponding Secretary —Wm. H. Johnson of Bucks. Treasurer —A. Roue of Lancaster. Executive Cotcmittee— Messrs. F. A. Alien, Sherman, Thompson, Wickershsm, and Laurence. Prof. COBCRN'B election as President ot tlic State Teach- J era' Association is a deserved ami high tribute to his abil ities as a teacher noil his zeal in the cause of Common Schools. In this broad Commonwealth there is no man m re thoroughly conversant with the requirements of Teachers and Schools, nor none who enter into the work with as much ardor and hearty de-ire to bonniit both us j he does. The Association selected Greensburg, Westmoreland County, as the next place of meeting. atir Wc nre requested by the l'rothoriotary to state, that the Pamphlet I.tiws of the session of ISSff have been received, und are ready for delivery to those entitled to receive them. i tuahr A terrible accident occurred on the Northern Railroad, near Schaghticoke.oc Tues-; day iiievht. The down train, due in Albany at j 7:25 P. M., while passing over the bridge which spans the Tombanuock, was precipitated into the creek below, a distance of twenty to twen ty-five feet. The water was about six to eight feet deep. Over thirteen persons n*e reported j to have been killed. The accident took place about one mile from the village of Schaghti-, ! coke. The moment the train struck the bridge I i ; the structure gave way. The locomotive, how j ever, got across, and became detcched from i the tender, which went down, and the bag gage and two passenger cars followed. The lirst passenger car went down on the tender, and the second passenger car ran into and turned it over. Most of the dead and wotind l ed were brought to Albany, and a Corouer's j inquest was immediately commenced, at which it transpired, in the evidence of the engineer 1 and others, that the bridge has for some time ; been considered an unsafe structure. A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT. —It is proposed to tap the Sunbury & Erie R. R. at or near the mouth of Youngwoman's creek in Clinton county, follow the course of that stream fo its : | headwaters in Stewardson township, Potter | county, strike the waters of Kettle creek near Olean, follow the main stream to its head waters, cross lo the south branch of Pine Creek, which will be followed to the mouth of its west branch, and along the course of that stream I and its northern tributaries into Sweden town -1 ship, where it will cross the summit and strike the waters of Mill creek, and, following that 1 stream to Coudersport, strike the Allegheny River, and, following that, tap the New York & Erie R. R. at Olean. It is said that this j route is not only feasible, but that it will be a moderate grade and of easy construction, with the exception of a couple of miles at and near the summit which divides the waters of A lie gheny and Susquehanna The entire length of tiie road will he ab:ut 90 miles. fiar The Kansas Constitutional Convention has broken up in a row ; the Democratic mem : bersseceding, and refusing to sign the State Constitution adopted by the Convention. The quarrel seems to have arisen from a bitter per sonal controversy, in which charges of bribery were freely bandied. The immediate occasion | of the trouble was the question of locating the I State Capital. The contest lay between the j cities of Lawrence and Topeka. The latter was chosen, and it was upon this choice thai ' charges of bribery and corruption were found ed. The Democrats finally seceded altogcth ! er - The Democrats of Sullivan county held their Convention on the 2d inst., and placed ! j in nomination for Representative, GEORGE I) j JACKSON ; Prothonotary, Ac., C.

E. Foote, Esq., who was , -Mrs. Stowe s uncle,) with her son and young- i est daughter. Prof. Stowe will return in Oc tobcr. Mrs. Stowe will spend a year in trav- i | eling. Her twin daughters are in Paris, and | her son Frederick sailed last Saturday in com ! pany with Mr.Scoville of Andover ; the two j intending to make a pedestrian tour in Eu- | rope. GOLDEN GRAVES. —No little excitement has been produced in Panama and adjacent places by the announcement of the discovery of num- I bers of golden images and ornaments in the Indian Cheriqui, Peru. Already the sack of the graves lias begun, and fabulous ! tales are told of the amount of gold which lias been found, one man having, it is said ' taken out 75!bs in a short time. Thousands of graves are to be found in the neighborhood of Cheriqui, and it is certain the Peruvians were in the habit of burying with their dead earthen vessels and articles of use and orna-1 ment but whether gold can be found there to any amount is very doubtful. The tombs are mounds of great extent, containing hundreds ' I ot bodies, and it was by the fall of a Inrue tree, growing out of the top of one of the ' inouuds that the deposits were first discovered. ; On the 4th inst., at Christ Church, in Towanda, by the Itev.
