The reports from the continent of Europe
relatirs to the growing crops are conflicting ;
but upon the whole, the appearance of the
growing crops is encouraging. -.-
All the leading gram markets of England
are dull, and prices, as the harvest approa

1 ' FRANCE.-
The iVationat announces that Prince Ca
nino, the son of Lucicn Bonaparte, and Ex
President of the Roman Constituent Assem
bly, had been arrested at Orleans by order of
the Government on his road from Marseilles
to Paris. ' ' ' . - .
' It is said that having a claim against his
cousin, Louis Napoleon, for money lent in
aid of his election, the Prince came to France
to demand it, the conduct of his cousin
against Rome having stiired his ire. It is
aid that the Prince will not be imprisoned,
but that he will be forced to embark for Eng
land or America.
' The question openly discussed are about a
Consulate for life for the empire Henry V.
and the Conipte de Paris.
Cardinal Picoli and the Marquis Cacehetti
arrived in Rome from Gaeta on the 8th.
The latter is grand chamberlain of the Apos
tolic Palace.
' Preparations are making at Rome, which
tends the belief that Pius 9th is expected to
return to the Quirinial.
' All the wounded have been removed from
the Palace. .
The French are doing all they can in dis
tributing money freely to set up a cry in his
favor but in vain.
The Roman troops who had agreed in the
first instance, to do duty conjointly with the
French, are all leaving, and the whole force
remaining now amounts to less than 1000
men. Of those many were to leave, but
Gen. Oudinot would not give his consent.
The Pope's engineers having been asked
to make a demonstration in his favor, pre
feired quitting the service 39 out of 43 re
signed, and all the rank and file were dis
banded. The same occurred in the artillery. All
the officers have resigned, with tho excep
tion of three captains, and a Serjeant. The
reason given is that the French refuse to
give them any precise guaranty as to tho
protection of the rights of the people.
Garribaldi has succeeded in making his
escape good from the French Division, who
were put upon a false scent, and he is now
in the mountains of Abruzzi. Previous to
his departure from Rome, he had secured
ammunition and military stores.
Another account status that Garibaldi is on
the Neapolitan frontier, where he has been
joined by another body of troops, and form
ed, it is said, a body of 20,000.
SEVERITY OF 1'IUSSIAL MILITARY DIS.
CU'LI.M;.
A correspondence fram Randers, in North
ern Jutland, dated the 30th of June, has the
following:
On Monday last, when the 2d Battalion of
the 18th Regiment of the Prussian Landwehr,
- which is garrisoned at Randors, was ordered
to attack a Danish post which had taken up
a position on the borders of the neighboring
forest, a man named Christian Schreiner, a
' soldier of that battalion, was found missiug,
and did not return until the following morn
ing. On being brought before a court mar
tial, Schreiner was declared guilty of having
. concealed himself to avoid facing the enemy,
and he was condemned to be shot. Schrej-
, ner petitioned for pardon to Lieutenant Gen
eral Prittwilz, commander-in-chief of the
' German troops in the Danish States. That
officer commuted the sentence, and ordered
that he should receive 100 blows on the bare
- back with sticks. Schreiner underwent bis
punishment yesterday morning, in presence
of our garrison, and of five men and one ser
geant of each company quartered in the
neighborhood of Randeis. He was stripped
, to the waist, and thou tied to the post, when
two drummers, each armed with a square
sharp edged stick, took their stand by his
side. On the signal being given by the otli-'
cer, the two drummers struck the man biniul
Uneously. At first, Schreiner shrieked most
fearfully, but by degrees his voice weakened,
and at last he became speechless. At the
42d blow the head of the suflurer full on one
side, and his body dropped. It was then
found that be was a corpse ; his spine was
fractured. Brussels Herald.
INSULT TO THE AMERICAN FLAG AT
ROME.
An affair took placeon the 6th, which may
perhaps cause some difficulty between the
French and our own Government. You must
know that our Consul, as well as the Eng.
lish Consul, has been very actively engaged
in giving passports to the poor devils who
have been compromised by the course of
; events. There was a crowd of these people
before the bouse of our Consul when a picquet
, of French soldiery passed, for some reason or
other, probably fiom some injurious words
from some in the crowd, the soldiers immedi
f atsly turned, and entered the house of the
Consul, and took two men prisoners. Mr.
Freeman, our Consul for Acona, happened
... to be in tho house, and he protested against
, this violation of our flag for the American
flag was floating before the house. No no
. tice was taken of this protest by the subal
, tern commanding the picquet. Freeman ira
i mediately proceeded to Oudinot, who expres
sed himself very much annoyed at the acts
of his soldiers, la the evening Cass wtote,
on the complaint of Freeman, to Oudinot, de-
mantling au apology for the insult. The an

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
On Thursday morning, about 81 o'clock,
the early train front New York for Philadel
phia, ran off the track about two miles this
side of Princeton, N. J., in consequence of the
switch having been displaced, causing a
most terrible disaster. The locomotive, ten
der, baggage car, and the forward passenger
cars, were thrown into the Delaware and Ra
ritan canal on the bank on which the road
runs for some distance, the former being lit
erally crushed together. The cars were
rrowded with passengers, and as the forward
passenger car run upon those before it, the
car next to it was raised up by the concus
sion, tearing away the roof, and sweeping
the scats and passengers into a dense mass,
killing two persons instantly, and seriously
injuring some twenty others. Wm. Conover
of Trenton, a carpenter in the employ of the
company, was instantly killed, as also a Ger
man whose name was unknown. Captain
Shippen, the agent of the company, was se
riously injured and his life is despaired of.
The following list of the persons injured has
been furnished us, many of them having
either their arms or legs broken :
James Hollingsworth and his wife, Sarah
Ann, Matthias North, Eliza Bryan, Charles
Malsbury, Wm. Milkburne, Martin Merrill
or Merritt, Mrs. Mary Lindsay, Eliza Hand,

son, of Philadelphia, Thos. Glassup, of Frank

Patrick McPorril, of Williamsburg, L. 1., W.
K. Waters, of Pottsville, Penn'a.
These are all the particulars of the disas
aster we have been able to collect. The in
jured were taken to the depot near Prince,
ton, where every possible attention was paid
to them. The company offer a reward of
S 1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the
person who removed the switch from its pro

HOW TO CONDUCT A NEWSPAPER.
In 1788, Dr. Rush wrote a letter to Mr.
Brown, the editor of the Federal Union giv
ing him directions how to conduct a news
paper in such a manner as to make it inno
cent, useful and entertaining. The paper is
a very interesting one, and may be read with
instruction at the present day.
4. Never suffer your paper to be a vehicle
of private scandal or of personal disputes.
If the faults of publio officers are exposed,
let it be done with decency. No man has a
right to attack the vices or follies of pri
vate citizens, in a newspaper. Should you,
under a false idea of preserving the liberty of
the press, lay open the secrets of families and
thereby wound female honor and delicacy,
"I hope our Legislature (this is the language
of Dr. Rush Ed.) will repeal the law that
relates to assault and battery, and that the
liberty of the bludgeon will be as sacred and
universal in Pennsylvania as your liberty of
the press."
5. Never publish an article in your paper
that yon would not wish your wife or daugh
ter (if you have any J" should read or un
derstaud.
6. The less you publish about yourself, the
better. What have your readers to do with
the neglects or insults that are offered to you
by your fellow-citizens! If a printer offends
you, attack him in your paper, because he
can defend himself with the same weapons
with which you wound him. Type against
type is fair play. Dr. Rush enlarges upon
this, and then says: "If you had been in
twenty Bunker's Hill battles, instead of one,
and had fought forty duels into the bargain,
and were afterwards to revenge an affront,
upon a man who was not a printer, in a
newspaper, I would not believe that you pos
sessed a particle of true courage."
9. Let the advancement of agriculture,
manufacturers, and commerce, be the prin
cipal objects of your paper. A receipt to
destroy the insects that feed upon turnips, or
to prevent the rot in sheep, will be more use
ful, in America, than all the inventions for
destroying the human species, which so often
fill the columns of European newspapers.

WILMEn'S TIMES ON lll'SUARY.
The European Times, aftor a long silence,
has come out at last boldly in favor of the
cause of Hungary, expressing the hope that
the Magyais will achieve their independence
and take an honorable stand among tiie free
nations of Europe. The Times rays:
"Without attempting a description of the
strategic operations of the contending armies,
which, indeed, from the imperfect informa
tion which reaches us from the seat of war,
is next to impossible, it seems evident that
the Austrians and Russians are gaining pos
session of the plains of tho Duuubu and the
Theias, the Hungarians having up lo this
time avoided anything like a serious resis
tance. A battle has been fought near Co
morn, and Haynau, the Austrian commander-in-chief,
claims the victory; but it was evi
dently quite an indecisive action. In short,
the great battle which is to decide the pre
sent fate of Hungary has yet to be fought.
In the meantime Count Teleki has reached
London, with the object of procuring the re
cognition of the independence of Hungary by
the English Government. The bait offered
is one peculiarly tempting to our Liverpool
snd Manchester tastes. We are offered the
free trade, under a most liberal tariff, of 14
millions of customers, all agriculturists, who
are incapable of manufactuiing for their own
wants, and who only seek to be disenthralled
from Austrian despotism, and the threatened
yoke of Russia, to form the closest political
and commercial relations with ourselves and
the other fiee States of the world. Happy
indeed would it be for Europe if so desirable
sn object wss attainable. A body of Qua
keis have petitioned the House of Commons
to procure the independence of Hungary, by
any means except by the sword. Out pesce
friends are well aware, however, that the
independence ef any country has never been
achieved by any mode except "by the
sword." Unless, therefore, we are prepared
lo declare war against Russia in her hour of
need, in fact convulse all Europe, we are
compelled to look on calmly, as a strict neu
tral power, earnestly hoping that constitu
tional freedom will prevail over the combined
efforts of Austria and Russia, and that the
brave men of Hungary will succeed in the
glorious strugglo in which they sre em-'

privilege of your columns for that purpose.
I wish to introduce to his long tried, and ad

of the Northumberland Militia, as an aspi

in the field his wisdom in council, and bis
numerous virtues in private life are so well
known and appreciated, that present eulogy
is superfluous. .: t t
Nevertheless for the adtantaga of those,
who, may never have enjoyed the honer of
the Captain's peraoua) acquaintance, J would
respeotfully refer ihem to Col. Thomas Sny
der, as a living Witness of the former to wit :
his valor and military prowess, Many, no
doubt,' will readily call to mind, the memora
ble battalion-day of 1845, when the Nor
thumberland Militia, incited by an ambitious
and reckless adventurer, bight A-sl-y, broke
out inopea revolt,-disobeyed orders-ran from
one side of the field to the other, whooped
and yelled like political stump-orators, and
swore they would eat the Colonel and horse
too, if he did not ride out of their way. ' The
forces from Sharookio were about to leave the
field in confusion and alarm. . The Colonel,
notwithstanding, his great abilities and cool
courage was unequal to the crisiaj discipline
was at an end Rebellion at its height, i is
vutt Militia System teas tottering to its founda
tions. But all as uot yet lost. Capt. Chapman
raised his sword in token that he would speak,
enf opened hit moutk,."Boys. tant yew bekav V

unite in the suppdrt'of Captain" Josiah Chap
man of the Northumberland Militia", and
take the word of those who know him best.
A brighter and purer day will light tip the
political horizon.' ' Northumberland county
shall exult and be proud of her gifted repre
sentative. The mechanic the laborer the
farmer the manufacturerthe loafer shall
be alike protected. No branch of American
Industry will be permitted to languish. The
grindstone weaver as well as the maker of
wooden nutmegs, the mullet-catcher from
the meandering waters of Muddy Run, and
tho hunter of kill-deers and while blackbirds
in the wilds of Tuckahoc will find in' Chap
man, an eloquent, fearless anil incorruptible
advocate. May the people for once know
thoir own best interests, and gather in large
crowds around his standard.
A TAVLon Democrat or Point.
II. B. Maeb, Esq. Drar StY:--Although
a number of individuals have been recom
mended for the office of County Commis
sioner, through your paper, theru is still ano
ther whom we prefer in tho person of JOHN'
B. HELLER, of Chilisquaque. Mr. Heller is
a German and understands both languages,
and is a good Mechanic, and is therefore par
ticularly well qualified to give the most gene
ral satisfaction. For these reasons he will
be warmly supported by many of
Old Tcrbct.
H. B. Masser, Esq. Dear 5ir .'Although
there are a number of candidatrs before the
public,' for the office of County Commissioner,
permit me to add another to the list, in the
person ol GEORGE A. WYKOFF, of Lewis
township.. Mr. Wykoff is a farmer, and a
consistent and unwavering democrat, and has
the ability to make us an excellent Commis
sioner. Without intending to say anything
unfavorable of the other candidates, I would
merely atate that his nomination and election
would be highly satisfactory to many of the
Forks.
II. B. Masser, Esq. Dear Sir: As the
time is approaching when candidates for the
Legislature are to be selected, permit me to
recommend to ttw Voters of Northumberland
county, the name of Mr. MICHAEL M.
KOPEK, of Shtiniokiu townnhip for that office.
Mr oper is a farmer and is well known to
the democracy of this county, ns a linn and
consistent democrat. He is a man of good
moral character and of that plain prarticnl
siJnse that would render him well qualified
lo represent the sturdy democracy of old
Northumberland County in the in-.M legisla.
lure., Should he receive the nomination, it
would be gratifying to
Many Democrats.
Mr. F.D1TOR : Allow us to recommend
through your valuable paper, Major WM. L.
DEWART, of Sun bury, as a candidate for
tho next Legislature, ll has been the custom
of late years by the Democratic parly of this
county to choose their Representative alter
nately from either side of the riverj and as the
Forks have hsd the member for the last 2
years, it now belongs to the love? end. And
in fact it is ceded by them to this side. We
know of no man who we would more cheer
fully recommend to the Democratic portion
of this county than Mr. Dewart; he is a man
of pure democratic principles; he has always
battled in the good cutiso, and we are sure
that he would attend to the interest of his
constituents, and go in for the great principle
of "doing the greatest good for the greatest
number." There are many principles of great
interest now agitating the public, and we
want a man of a strong mind to represent 08,
one whtfse own Interests nor those of any
clique or faction would control himi and such
a one we find in (he Major. By publishing
this you will confer a favor on many.
Democrats or Jackson.
