It: said some true things, how ever, though ,the manner of saying them was low-bred, and in very bad taste. Europe, said The Times, is every thing to America, but •Arnerica is of very little interest or importance to Eirope. Now, there is truth in this. .We take' the greatest interest in foreign intel ligenCe, received from the other side of the Atlantic,'and all that Europe can receive back from-us is news from the United States, which •foreigners,_ do not care much for, and news from ,British North America, which is inter mitting only to England. The proof of this is that oven The Times, Whieh ' is'supposed to stand at the head of EtirOpettrijorirnalisria, seldom gives more than hide columri of American news & when a mail 'steamer arrives at Liverpool, Glasgow, South ampton, or Galway. On rare occasions, such as the Mormon affair in Utah, it makes an ef fort, and enters fully into a history of the mat ter, with comments. On the other hand, the more summary t• of news from Europe is hurried through' all parts'of the United States, by the 'integre - ph,' generally tolle, extent of a column 'of knell tyPe, and, sometimes even at greater . , length, and immediately published by the newspapers, _at • no _inconsiderable expense. Further details are subsequently given—we have seen from eight to nine columns of fo reign 'news' in some of . Our cotemporaries. Moreover, Eriropean subjects aro' commented upon in leading - articles, and foreign corres pondence is greatly cultivated by our journals. There can be no doubt that we are greatly in terested in European news and politics, which we more thoronghly understand than most Europeans ••can. do, . with newspapers so ''erribly gagged' by insolent power that, they dare not give impartial accounts :Of the ordinary occurrences 'of 'social life. 'Out of. England, • this is the case. Fo reigners do not understand our social, com mercial, or political system, and therefore do not care for intelligence from our side of the water.' Though there •Is a temporary inter caption, according to the last report, the Ocean Telegraph, in, due course and due time, will I nane this know-nothing and care-nothing lyeteret. We are somewhat curious to see how John, Bull means lo celebrate the Cable junc tion of Ireland and Newfoundland. Both -parties have made their nominations in hie district. , Tim,-Lecompton candidate is Hon. Allison, White, the present member, a lawyer of 'Look ,Haven, Clinton county. He has been a silent, member, : and but for his votes on the Le• sompton and English swindle would never have been heard. of out of his own district. Having misrepresented the views of a large majority of Ms. constituents, he would probably have sunk into a quiet politioal grave, had not the office holders bolstered him up and renominated him. His defeat is certain; as the people of this distriot can never sustain Lpoomptonism in any form. The People's candidate is the Hon. James T. Hale, of Bellefonte. Judge' Hale is a native of Bradford county. lie was brought up on a farm near Towanda, and,. like many of the hardy sons of the North, he frequently rafted lumber down the river to Marietta and Columbia, returning home en foot. From Bradford county he name to sdifitin county in 1831, and studied law in the office unole, Elba W. Hale, for many years the !ending lawyer of central Pennsylvania. On the loath of his uncle, ha entered into copartnership eith the present Judge Wilson, and was appointed loputy Attorney General for Mifflin county by Hon. Ellis Lewis, then Attorney General of Penn sylvania. In 3835, Mr. Hale married the dough. 'er of Judge Huston, of the Supreme Court, and removed to Bellefonte the same year. Here he .speedily rose to distinction at the bar, and, on a vacancy moaning on the bench, was appointed president. judge. This office he hold for about a year, and then returned to the bar. -Judge-Hale is about forty.eight years of age, in WI vigor of life and health. As a lawyer he hes superior. In the Supreme Court no one is listened to by the judges more attentively ; but the great arena of hie triumph is in trying causes before zjnry. Here Walesa] learning and practical know- ledge of every kind of business, from the construe. .-ion of the most intricate machinery to the ordi nary pursuits of life, backed up by a ready com_ mend of lanowase, winning address, and peons. .riye oratory, carry the jury with him whenever the court leaves a loop-hole for them to do so. In polities Judge Hale may be called a Demo °ratio Whig. lie commenced life as a Democrat, but joined the Whig,party on the tariff and cur rency, questions. He ie now, and ever has been, ,really end more thoroughly identified with the masses . than nine. tenths of those who profess to be bamoorate. Living in the iron county of Centre, he has ever been a strong advocate of protection. nudge Hale,-through sunshine, and storm, has stood by the great iron interest of Pennsylvania. When he commenced political life, all parties were for the tariff. . fishes lived to see all parties come back and take up this great prinoiple, so vital- to PenneYlvante. - , Need it be Bald that he loathes and despises the Lecoinpton fraud and English swindle ? Buoh a broukht up from *hood 'among the people, the arehlteot of his own fortunes, from a lumber man on the river to tho judicial bench, always sympathizing with, and beloved and respected by, the people, could not tamely look on and see their rights trampled in the dust. Every court hence in his district has hoard his voice proclaim ing the indignation of a freeman against this cruel outrage, while his opponent, basely bowing to the knee of • power, betrayed by his votes those who trusted him. The second Tuesday of October will bring in the verdict of freemen in the igno minious defeat of Allison White, and the trium. pliant election of Judge Hale. Public Entertainments.

[piafeepondenoe of The Press.] WASIIINGTO'N, September 21.0.858 There hi more trouble brewing every day for the prosariptienists. The suspicion hourly gains strength that it is not so mush the welfare of the Democratic party that the persecutors of Douglii, - and the inventors of infamous tests, have at heart, as the gratification of their own personal ma lignity, and the advancement of the personal am bition of their peculiar favoriteS: Eaoh day in (weaves the 'number' of Deniairatio praises and leading Demooratia statesmen 'who take issue with the insane policy of the Union. Not only are On-, Stephens, and Toombs known to be against it, but even A. d. Brown, the ultra Senator from Missis .sippi, has announced himself for 'Douglas in the present phase of Illinois polltidS; and the Rich- Mond South publishes conspionously the letter of a - torrespondent from St. Louis, who, after de voting nearly two columns to a full review of the present oontest in ,Illinois, states that no Administration candidate could command five thousand votes in that State; that if Doug las Is ,to be kicked out of the ,party, the rank and: Ale will go with him, and hereafter there will, 'be no Democratic' party in the North and Northwest; and that while the Union is inju ring Douglas very little, it is injuring the Demo. cratio party vary much. The protest of the Cincinnati Enquirer, edited by a postmaster and an obedient Lecomptonite, against the Union, has been very extensively re copied throughout the Northwest by Lecompton journals. I notice, toe, that in the Indiana dis. Eliot, in which the warm contest is progressing be tween Hovey,' anti-Leeomptonite, and Niblaok, Lecomptonite, the former rests his ease mainly upon the despotic editorials of the Union, which read somewhat after the fashion of imperial ediats, - and which are all based upon the doctrine that the President can do no wrong, that a Repre sentative is bound to obey not the will of his con stituents, but the will of the Executive, and fail. leg in this, that he must be demolished by the organ. The Leoompton candidate, feeling that the charge of affiliation with the Union is a mill stone upon his nook, denies that that paper speaks the sentiments of the Administration, or that it is responsible for them. To which Hovey responds by'producing the eiroulars of tho Union soliciting patronage, addressed to officials, which say : You are requested and BXPECTED to exert yourself to give increased °lrani at ion to the Union, whose position and relation, to the Administra tion enable it to know and express the wishes and sentiments of the Executive.' I see the Democracy of the Northwest have a very quiet way of their own of rebuking the pro eoription of the Administration. Thus, when Mr. Davidson was removed as marshal of the Northern District of Indiana, to make room for a Native American, C. N. Pine, wise formerly resided in your vicinity, he was immediately nominated for Congress. And, more recently, J. W. Gray, the editor of the P/airsdeafer, who was ejected from the Cleveland post °Moo for the high crime of be ing a friend of Douglas, has also been nominated for Congress by the . Democracy of his dlitriof. The hopes of the Administration for the re election of their Congressional ohampions in your State are almost ent'rely based upon the divisions in the ranks of the opposition, which a new Ameri can movement is expected to create. This I know to be the case, partionlarly with reference to Phil lips, Landy, and Florenee, in your city. What do the people whom Owen Jones, Dire. :nick, Wilson Reilly, English, and the generality of the Northern Leedmptonites, are assuring that they will vote far the admission of KanEllll, irre- SPectlve of population and the provisions of the English bill, think of the rod which the President holds over his officials on this subject? I allude to his position as defined in the speech of Hon. A. G. Brown, 11. Senator from Mississippi, thus re ported by the ViCksburg Whig: Mr. B said : "That he called on the President before be loft Washington, and that Mr. Buchanan assured him in the most positive and unequivocal terms that be would appoint no man to office who held the opinion that KREMS ought to be admitted before she has a population wbloh would entitle her to a Representative in Congress, (according to the terms of the conference bill.) and that he would decapitate every office-holder who expressed such a beli-f." Will it do, after this, for the officials who wish to stand well with the President to support even their own nominated candidates? , OCCASIONAL. Challenge. HON. Tirouse B. FLoimor. Elm : I was present on Monday evening last, at the corner of Fifth and ShiPpen, at a meeting of your friends, and heard your spseoh. You failed to meet any of the issues before the people. While you neither explained your votes against the into. rests of the distriet and the interests of Pennsyl• uutryorraysemposuryyourgroarrtetrayar of Demooratio principles. I now, claiming to be the regular Demooratio candidate in tho First Congressional district, standing upon the sacred principle of Popular Sovereignty, and committed In full to the doctrine of ample protection to the home interests of our people, do hereby ohallenge you to a' publio discussion, pledging myself to prove— I. That you have steadily voted against the in terests of the people 'of the First Congressional district, whenever those Interests were involved in any measure before the House of Representa tives. If. That you have diliberately, persistently, and repeatedly, violated the promises made by the Democratic party to the people in 1&'O, and cope <daily that which committed that party to secure to the people of Kansas a right to vote upon their own institutions in their own way. 111. That you are now the head of the moot in famous proscription of citizens for opinion's sake that ever has been witnessed in this district. IV. That you are attempting to overawe the freedom of choice and the freedom of elections, by packing the navy yard with your creatures, and by expelling all who will not worship your be trayal of principle. V. That you were the only Northern man who, In the Rom of Representatives, dared to vote to encourage the horrible and Inhuman truffle in slaves—that trail:, which is condemned by inter national law as piracy, and stigmatised by all 'Christendom as a foul stain upon civilization and Christianity. VI. That you are to-day, and have been from the beginning, the representative of the attack of the General Administration upon the heroic Doug las, now leading the forces of the Democratic party in Illinois, clothed in the mantle of regular nomi. nations, and standing erect upon the platform which gave us our victory in 18.50. VII. That you aro now, and have been, per sonally interested in an evening newspaper in this city, which riots In calumnies upon the champions of the Democratic, party, and descends to the low est defamation of my character and that of my friends; and, VIII. That a man guilty of' all these offences has no claim upon the voters of the Democratic party, upon the voters in the Ropublioan party, upon the voters of the American party, and least of all. has he any right to stand forth as the re presentative of principles which be has betrayed, and of an organization which ho discards in the person of one of its moat illustrious champions, Stephen A. Douglas. I propose to meet you, to discuss one and all of these points, at any place you may name, or at any time you may fix upon, either through your friends, or any committee represonting your in terests, so that the peoplo whom wo shall meat, in the event of your acooptanoe, face to face, will have an opportunity of deciding whether you aro worthy of their support, or myself.

G. Sire, George W. Race, of Lori• stone, presented an able and interesting report. The Grand Secretary, James L. itidgely, reports that " Pennsylvania does not show its usual pros• porous condition." Tho financial panto appears to have affected the Order in several jurisdictions. The committee upon the disputed seat from your State have reported a vacancy, taking the ground that whilst ono of the claimants was not eligible, the other wee not elected, not having received the highest number of votes. Unless the Grand Mas ter of Pennsylvania fille the vacancy by an appoint ment, there will be only one repreeentative from the Grand Lodge of the Keystone State during this session. Since the last annual communleation, warrants have been granted for the organization of Grand Lodges in Nebraska and Kansas, and for an En. oampment at Oregon City. H.

[Special Correspondence of The Press.] CIIICAGO, Sept. 13, 1858 I was pleased with your article on "Philadel phia and Chicago," In The Press of the 10th; also with your reply to the letter of " A Market. street Merehant," on the next day. Thom arti cles have attracted mush notice in this city. The Press is a wide circulator in Illinois. It is ad mired for its bold stand against the Kansas policy of the Administration of James Buchanan, and especially for its advocacy of such a tariff as will protect American labor. We are preparing the way for the reception of your great Pennsylvania Railroad, the western end of which, as you stated, is being completed, and will reach this city in the month of Novem ber. The selection ie being made, and the ground for a grand union depot is being purchased on a largo soale. No doubt but that all the railroads whirls centre here will ultimately find their interest in sending their passenger trains into this depot, where they can change oars and handle baggage with safety, ease, and cheapness. The necessity of greater energy on the part of your merchants and railroad managers, to secure the trade 'of the Northwest, is every day more apparent. It hue just come to light that a mammoth plan is com pleted for extending the " broad gauge" of the New York and Erie Road to Cincinnati, then to join hands with the Ohio and Miesissippi Railroad, which is also a " broad gauge," and extends from Cincinnati to Bt. Louis, This plan, which it is said will be executed within two years, will be a heavy blow to the bu siness of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and to the trade and travel of Philadelphia, unless both the railroad companies 'and your merchants unite in making it the interest of Chicago and the North west to find a market in Philadelphia. This groat line, over eight hundred miles long, from here to your city, ought to scour° Philadel phia not only the trade of this region, but by means of the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago air line road, to St. Louis, should give the trade and travel of the Southwest, and, through that channel, the travel to Kenna and , Nebraska to your Pennsylvania road To secure this object. your prices must not only be as low as any upon oilier routes, but there must be both speed and certainty in making the transit. I he here no plan will be more likely to sccuro an ac quaintance between Philadelphia and Chicago people, than for them. to meet at Pittsburgh. as soon as the road is finished, and then celebrate the great event which finishes and places this unbroken line under one control, and that controlling mind living in Philadelphia. The iron and the coal of Pennsylvania must forever make that State the Keystone in our manufacturing arch, while the rich prairies of the Northwest can furnish the ope ratives food cheaper than they can got it elsewhere. As the wants of the West increase with its rapid growth, so the ever•unfolding resources of your mountain wealth will find consumers equal to their production. No bound can be set to the trade between two such different emotions of coon try. The advantages which your route possesses, over all others, is the fact that its great length, with but one single change of clam is voids , the control of one man Iran Philadelphia to Chica go. Where lines are short and enoh link is con• trolled by a separate board of directors, nothing like that harmony and concentration of action can be secured which results from-giving the supreme control of all to one single comprehensive , mind. While the Now York Central road was com posed of five divisions, each owning and con trolling their respective links, nothing like the present perfection was attained. If the New York lines were consolidated with the Michigan roads, and also with all the intervening links, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, they could be operated much cheaper and more effectually. This advantage belongs alone to the Pennsyl vania route. Governor Matteson has absolute control of the St. Louie air-line from Chicago; hence there are hut two mon to consult about ar rangements—a fact which' will give the Phila delphia and Chiongo route to St. Louis the pre ference over all others. The same is true of the Pond du Lao and St Paul road, reaching to the upper Mississippi and to Lake Superior, under the control of Hon. Wm B. Ogden. All these roads are soon to meet in ono general depot, immediately on the bank of our river, when the greatest facilities will be afforded for the transhipment of freight and passengers. The gorgeous scenery of the All - gheny mountains will ever make the Philadelphia route most desirable, while the perfect manner on which the road is built renders it the very safest in the nation. As I same over those mountains, lately, I could but notice the numerous ways which were adopted to insure perfect safety and make it consistent with the greatest speed The The fifty or sixty steamboats lyitg at the Pitts buirgh levee waiting for "water," all told a tale that is fast being realised—" the ago of steamboat travel has passed away." The canals, which have swallowed up forty millions of your people's mo ney, are not worth the cost of working. The same is true of Indiana, whose canals oost about eighty thousand dollars more to work them last year than the entire receipts. Railroads are the great levers of commerce, and our people should favor every snob means of human elevation. CINDER/J. L A 't E S . T._ ,NEWS FOUR DAYS LATER FRO!

INFLUENCE EXTENDING.— The religions movement, which has en encouragingly, extended in our city, appears to be radiating its benefi cent influences to many localitles in the neighboring counties. A west ago, Mr. Smith, of this city, under the WISP a'a of the ,Young Men's Otoletian Association, organised I 4 union prayer meeting in Paradise), Latina...- ter cow tv, and in connection therewith a branch of the ass relation. We were present, by chance, on Sabb,th evening, at the second meeting of the series. Hr. Smith and another gentleman of this city were present. and conducted the exercises, which were of a highly im premise character. The meeting was called for the Town Hall, capable of holding some five hundred per sons; but long before the hour of commencement it was crowded to suffocation, and yet was incapable of accom• modating more than one half of those who sought ad mission The meeting then adjourned to the Presby terian Church, the 'argent building in the neighbor hood, end soon that was crowded to its utmost espicity. Persons came from Soudersburg, Strasburg, Concord, and the whole neighborhood, for miles, and we have o'carce, ever seen such an interest manifested. Mr. Smith stated that when the population was taken into consideration the meeting exceeded any that had ever been held In Jaynehe Hall. The movement has been organized under the Young Men's Christian Association of this city, and there is naturally a lively Interest felt in It A "number of young mon, from this city, were expected to be pet/lent; and although they were prevented by other engage. merits, one sent a large bundle of tracts, another a few hundred prayer-meeting hymn•books, another religions songs—all accompanied with the prayers of the donors, and their blessings upon the movement. The religions feeling, under this organization, bide fair to exceed, in extent and fervor, anything ever seen in that neigh. borbrod ; and as there Is to be a continuance of the meetings, we shall expect to hear of an unusual spread of Christianity throughout thesounty • THE Pittner VANS.—TIIe old saying, that " misery loves cornpany," is not more true than that human curiosity. if not the human heart• loves to girat. upon misery. and timid upon every-day suffering. _ This is daily verified in the neighborhoods of the different police stations. aldermen's offices, /ca., when the " Meek Maria" drive up with their human freight, to enbject it to the inspection of the law's cuatom.house R e have, upon 'leveret occasions, been astonished and sadly impressed by the avidity with which a crowd will rush for a eight at the unfortunates who chance to fall into The clutched of the law. There is not a morning that these prison -vane drive up to the , station-houses, but there is an eager crowd of lounger', waiting, like buzzards for their prey. to feast their eyes upon the load of misery which In dumped down ; and, from the rude jest, the cruel remark, and unkind jibe which are freely and loudly indulged, one would be led to suppose that these idlers found a peculiar relish in this least upon human sufferi og and woe. Yesterday morning we were peculiarly impressed with the thought that there was, In this daily display of morbid curiosity, a no very creditable commentary, either upon human nature generally, or upon our own community. Could a photographic sketch be taken of the miserable creatures who emerge each morning from these prison wagons, and a history of each one's life be written there would be found In them much to in terest and instruct, however sadly the lessons might be imparted ; bat we much doubt whether the meat har dened of all the curious lookers-on, each day, could discover anything to amuse. For ourself, re have never seen the occupants of a station cell either enter or emerge from therm sombre-looking vehicles, without a feeling of sadness, and we can scarce conceive of such e perversion of human taste and feeling es would render the eight a pleasing or interesting one to any man. Boos TRADE SALE.—The fifty-first book trade sale was opened yesterday morning at the exten sive auction roams of Messrs. Thomas & Sone, Nos. 130 and 141 South Fourth street, carnmenoing with a Bon• too invoice, and proceeding to Mr. J. W. Bradley's and J. B. Lippincott & Co >a invoice. during the morning.

[Correspondence of The Press.] The Lecomptonites held this day what they miscalled a Demooratio ConVention, and nomi nated for Assembly Cameron LOokard, an out-stud ent Lecomptonite. The "weak-in-the-knees" Ad• ministration received the go-by, and although the majority of the Leoempton stars were its most humble servants, they could not screw their courage high enough up as to, pass resolutiona en dorsing Be most inglorious career.„ • What a miserable state of affairs, and how truthfully it shows the humiliating and painful position of the opponents of popular sovereignty, when we find them meeting together in EOIOMT conclave, as a professed Democratio Convention and yet ashamed and afraid to endorse the very Administration they pretend to admire ! This "silent eloquence is more rich than words,” and shows how guilty the Lecomptonites feel. Ass Packer, S. MoLean, and Thomas Craig were ap. pointed Congressional conferees, without instruc tions—another sign of .‘ weakness in the knees,' as the above named gentlemen are all Diu:maid: men. It used to be a standing joke with the Herald that Commodore Stockton carried 'the State of New Jersey in his breeches-pocket, and some folks do say that Asa Packer carries Dimmick, the borough of Maul' Chunk, and in fast Carbon county, in his breeches-pocket. If ho does. the load will certainly break him down,'es no Map can swim long with such a dead weight as Le oompton. It would sink a Samson ten fathoms deep. Mach as we respect and esteem Mr. Packer seen honorable and excellent private citizen, we cannel go with him and his brother Lecomptonites on the doctrine of popular sovereignty, or support a mar fur Congress who betrayed his trust. The Convention was tame and spiritless We missed Colonel A. G. Brodhead ; but do not wonder that he took no active part in such a Convention as he is too high-minded and honorable a man to play the part of second fiddle, or toady to those who are in power. Every exertion was used at the delegate election to return Lecompton men, and at one place they went so far as to require of the voters a pledge that they would support the whole ticket. Leoomptonism was to be thrust down their throats sideas eobuts, MAUCH CRIME, Sept. 20, 1858 New York Markets Yesterday. Amts.—The demand is limited for Pots at $6. Pearle are saleable at $6 12X .
