GREAT CELEERATION AT TREVOR
TON. Theie was a huge and enthusiastic cole,
bullion at this nourishing place nn llio 4th.
Thanks to Ihe proprietor and inhabitants of
tho town, a celebration, got up in such a
handsome style, and upon such a liberal
scale, has been rarely, if ever, witnessed in
this part of the country.
There could not have been less limit from
:t()00 to 40D0 persons present. The piescnce
of the ladies, in huge numbers, mlded a pe
culiar cbarm l ihe occasion. Many gentle
men fiom Suiibury, Danville, and other
nei.ohboi ing towns, and disliicts, caine with
their families,' ami joined in tlw festivities of
the day. Tho Danville Hiass Hand were in
attendaiife, and enlivened tho company by
their lin music. That handsomn and well
drilled company of Tohintecrs, the Sliaino
kin (Juar.ls, imnurled, hy their martial bear
ing, an. I line display ri miniaiy tactics, a
high decree of patriotic enthusiasm. The
firing ofailil.ery, from, a lie Id piece, under
the management of .uiii'3 Peaii uml his
fiiends from Danville, was echoed back from
Ihe mountain sides.
Tn the eveni-ig lhci- imf a briilTanl dis
play of lire woiks, such as had never been
seen in the county. W hut wad n;o.;t cheer
ing to the heart cl' every fr;iu patriot and
philanthropist,' it was a meeting without dis
tinction of party, arid itfth 'ut l,p,or. fn the
Va3l crowd not a solitary man was bp en in
lha slightest degree intoxicated. All was
peace, and order, and harmony and a hap
py union of patriotic hearts to celebrate the
glorious day. ,
The meeting Was opened with prayer, by
the Pev. Mi. Hull, and organized by the ap
pointment of oflicers as follows:

The Declaration of Independence was
road with great good taslc, and with Ihe
most happy ell'ect. This great original char
ier of our nauoual rights was listened lo with
more than nn ordinary degree of interest, as
if Ihe people present were engaged in solemn
reflection on the alarming stale of Iho times,
on the shameless assaults w hich are openly
made upon nur glorious Union, and ns if
they derived a solid relief, ns they turned
from these foul exhibitions of modern (rea
son, to the noble and exalted principles that
mi iib'il and governed the patriots of the Revo
lution. The rear of artillery, and tho soul
stirring music that followed Ihe reading,
were in deep and happy unison with the
warm patriotic sentiments that glowed in
every breast.
The Oralor of the day, Robert C. Ilelfen
stein, r.s(., then delivered an address, w hich
was listened to with the most profound at
tention. In matter and manner, it was
soinothint; sreaily behind the common order
of 4th of July orations ; and evinced a degree
of cultivation and talent, which at some fu
ture day, may place the author, now a mo
de5t. retiring young gentleman, amongst the
most prominent men of ihe state. It was
altogether a most happy ell'ort, and was re
ceived with rounds of applause.
The company then partook of a sumptuous
dinner which was served up in handsome ru
ral style, by Mr. II. f!. Weaver of thu Trev
ortou House, under on avenue of shade trees.
The tables were altogether 'J00 feet in length,
a second and third table were spread, before
all the company could be served.
After ihe cloth was removed, the Regular
Toals were then read by Charles Pleasants,
l-'sq., as follows :
1. The day we celebrate, the anniversary
of a nations birth a star of hope to the
struggling and oppressed disciples of libeity
throughout the world. 3 cheers.
2. The l.'iiion of Ihe States, traitors may
calculate its value, but will never find il nut,
til! it is lost, or they are biin. May they
ever find a lion in their path, like Andrew
Jackson, to drive them back in ihcir treason
able career, whether they come fiom the
norh or from the south. ! cheers.
!!. The President of the Dnited States, re
spected by patriotic men of all parlies for his
substantial worth nf character, and for his
faithful adherence to the constitution and
laws of the land. R cheers.
1. The Army of the Cnited Slates, small
in Ihe number of its offieeis and men, but
great in Ihe number, success, and glory of
its achievements. 3 cheers.

in the neighborhood, was present by invila- j severe on thoso northern fanatics and south

ed, when public, statinn is sought wilh n

often prostituted lo selfish and corrupt pur
poses, there is some reason tn regard ,:the

somo e.xperienco in both, 1 can safely sny,

as well ns scope for enterprise, and for all
the kindlier better feelings and nfTectinns of
the henrl. no situation in life, and especially,
in Ihis free, happy, law governed land, can
be compared to that of nn independent pri

lo lake an humble share with ihe rest in the
festivities of tho day, I did not feel entill

vorable or adverse, can hiiliton or improve.
For many years, during which I exercised a
greater amount of judicial power than per
haps any one man in the commonwealth.
whatever mat have been my defect.', I trust j
I can fafefy rsiy that 1 oppressed no man
that no innocent man was ever, through my
instrumentality, or to my kno vledge, subject
ed to the penalties of llie law that the
powers of my o flier? were never made sub
servient to schemes of personal nnsrandize
meut or poiitieal ambition that llie ship of
justice wii.-t nev:r ffii.'ed out of her proper
course in order ti'iat her sails might catch
Ihe popular breezes. A Judge who would
undertake to satisfy ihe demands of sectarian
zeal, of popular clamor, or out of door influ
ences of any sort, rather than Iho stem de
mands of justice and Ihe law who in race
for poivularify would forget the end and aim
of his high office, which is mainly lo do jus- !
tiee between man and man. according to es- j
tablished law, who would defile and pollute j
his ermine by the slime of a sordid personal
or politic.il ambition would justly deserve,
and would most assuredly bring down on
himself, a crushing might of infamy: so that
go where he might he eonld neveraflerwanls
hold up his head amongst honest, independ
ent, intelligent men. 1 trust we have no
such Judges now ; and that we are not likely
to have. At the same lime, it is well enough
ir the people, in view of a creat and ap
proaching event in the judicial history r.f our
Stale, to ponder on tho subject, and that is
my apology lor saying ns much as 1 have
said by way of answer to the immediate pur
port of llie toast. But I gladly escape to
other topics more agreeable both to you and
myself.
There is something exceedingly moral in I
., . , . ' . !
i in- circiimsiances miner wnicu we meet
here this day. I am informed, ynd if I had
not been informed. I eouM not have believed
that the spot on which we stand, was. nUml
one yiarnp,, the centre ol a mild, uncultiva
ted, uninhabited region. Its lofty mountains,
its deep gorges, its inaccessible forests, its
eternal barriers against in the shape
of culture, and improveement. An adven
turous angler, like myself, may have found
his way here, once in a w hile, to catch trout
in these tin tain streams: But he would
lake good care lo bring with him his grub,
his skillet, his knapsack, nnd above all his
long boots for a sojourn amongst the reeks
and rattlesnakes. For the country furnished
neither meat, nor drink, nor diy lodgings,
except what nature, the forest and ihe streams
supplied. The admirers of natural sjenei y.
no doubt saw remelfiing very peculiar and
very interesting in the size and shape, and
relative position of these mountains.
In the constitution of man, the best quali
ties of the heart, nnd Ihe noblest facuhies of
the mind, a! sometimes cencealed under a
ragged and foibhUhug e.'.terior. These
mountains conceal, under a most rugged sin-
face, vast treasures of mineral wealth.
Ti.'.
touchstone of individual euterprie l:as been
applied. Behold Ihe results. They till Ihe
mind of a stranger with w "i;der and amaze
ment. Within that short rpace ef one year,
a llourkhiug, liuyn has already jprmig into
existence, alieady numbering some SOU scuts.
These coa! veins of unsurpassed lliickness
and c.xreut, aio already giving up their long
locked up tieasures. A sul siautial la.'I road
Irom this point to the Susipu hanna, a dis
tance af some 13 miles, is rapidly progressing
towards completion, and' will toon !-o in
reail'V.ess to transport this hitherto cencealed,
or at least neglei-led trei'snie, lo ihe market
of thu era board and l!:c interior. In the
l.ir'-u crowd of people asseiiibl.nl here, cveiy
trade, occupation, profession, and pun nit in
life are represented. It is very evident I licit)
is eniployn;?l t now feroiher people, besides
li.e hunter r.nd the angler, good roads' have
supereeeiied ihe eld indian paths, and home
market is furnished for iho produce of the
neighboring vallier'; such' are tho results
w here the magic power of individual enter
priso is brought lo bear tipon iho doimant
and impel ishabh) wealth of Ihe mountains
of Pemir'ylvania. This mineral wealth, cou
pled witS hot other resources, justly entitle
her to bo considered the richest slate in the
world :' wMlo the many sterling trails of
character in her population, coupled wilh
her past history, give assuraneo of her con
tinued prosperity, of "her fidelity lo all her
obligations" and of her unwavering devo
tion to the I'nion.
The JJdge here made a slrong appeal in
beluilf of the Union in vein of tho danger
antipathy to each other, were only marching
by diir;.rcnt roads to the same point. If
(what (Jod forbid,) they should ever effect
w hat is the natural result, if not the special
aim, of Iheso flagrant proceedings to. wit,: a
depopertion of tho 1'nion they could then
rush into each others arms. But it would be
liko the meeting of condemned and penitent
felons at Iho gallows to weep in unison
over the wrongs they had done tho inno
cent blood they had shed the valuable lives
they had sacrificed and tho whole train of
horrors that follow in the wake of so onnalu;
nil and infernal warfare upon the dearest
ties of country and of life.
The Judgo then sharply rebuked the poli
cy of those political leadeis, whigs or demo
Iheso northern fiinntfos and "higher la.V
people form a party by therrielvesl nnd let
them art by lhemselve.''. ind see where
they Will come ont. They never could form
of Ihemsi Ives, a corporal s guard fn our
steadfast old commonwealth. Let the patri
otic, men of both the great parties whig and
and democrat ic -"tonrh nnf handle not tho
unclean thing." But let them act upon Ihe
manly determination, come what may, to
stand op for the Union, the Constitution and
laws of the country.
The Judge concluded by offering 1 lie fol
lowing sentiment : ,
Tile Trevorlnn coal bttsin. The deeper
yon dip into it, Ihe more it will yield. May
it yield enough to qtteneh a considerable
i his ft on the part of its enterprising proprie
tor nnd miners.
Hugh Bellas, Ksq., was then called upon
' lll! company, and entertained them wilh
some lively, humorous, and highly inslruc
live remarks. This venerable gentleman
rpoke with all the energy and vivacity of a
young man. He was here about a year ago,
when tt'e first rtep wad taken--when the
ground was first tirolten fcy ihe Trevorton
Coal Company. He expressed his astonish
ment lit what had been effected in the mean

DEATH OF GF.y. t'MISKI.
The celebrated I'olish llcnerul Uminski
died at Wiesbaden cn Iho liith June. He
was ono of l.ho most prominent actors in the
lost Polish Revolution, but for seyeral ycais
had lived in great retirement. at Wiesbaden.
Ho was bom in tho year 1780, in tho Oiand
Duchy of Poson. As early as 1791, , ho
commenced his military career, as a volun
teer tinder Kosciusko. When tho Poles
were, summoned to new .efforts for freedom
by Dombrowski, in lSi'fi. Uminski vvas
among, the fiist lo take up. his nrrn.l. lie
formed a Polish Guaid of Honor for Napo
leon,, fought at pantzick, received a wound
at Dirschati, .which he vvaa taken prisoner
and sentenced to death by n Prussian Court
Mailial. His sentenced was not executed,
however, as Napoleon threatened reprisals,
hi the war against Austria he commanded
Dombrowski's advanced guard, was made
Colonel, r.nd formed llie loth hussar-regimen,
w hich signalized itself at Jlosaisk, in
1812, and at whese head he was tho first to

After the ilis.-olution of the national army of

are loud in their praises of tho sweetness,
benevolence, nnd dignity cf bin character.
He will be luig remembered for his devo
tion to the cause of Folisli liberty, and tho
people, who in future times shall struggle
for the same been, will gain new em-omage-ment

We heard a story of the r.er'i.rniaucp of a
robin in the garden nf one of our citizens, on
Friday last, whirli interested us not a little,
inasmuch as the little creal.ire and his male
exhibited a! ragarity, r.moimi.ng to !uiman
reason. The incident occurred in Hip gar
den of Mr. John Broomham, which is a large
one, reaching from his house in Oliver rliect
over lo Warren street. While he was at
tending to some part of it, near his hnnse, a
robin flew about hiiri apparently in great ex
citement, ile took but little notice of it at
first : but tho bird peisevered in every effort
to attract bin attention, and was soon suc
cessful. Mr. B. remembered that there was
a robin's nest in a tiee at the cud of Ihe gar
den, and thought there might bo peine trou
ble there, and started in that direction.
Tho biid accompanied him, keeping close by
his side, chattering violently all Ihe way.
f)n approaching the nest he foam! the female
bird cqaally agitated, and on taking deliber
ate observation, .liicovered a very young ro
bin silling on the higli fence, and a cat be
low intently watching il, and ready to pounce
upon it, on iho faiime of its attempt to reach
tho tree. Mr. B. drove away the cat, when
tho two birds instantly came to the assistance
of their young riie, encouraged it I" try it::
new fledged w ings for tiie tree which it did,
and saf.'ly'reaehed its nest, lo ti.e great ap
parent delight cf the whole feathered family.
The bird had seen enough of Mr. li. lo know
that ho would not injure it or its progeny
it knew thai ho could protect Ihcm, and
knew how lo attract his attention and lead
him lo the scene of danger- and it knew
that it would nol be safe for il lo encourage
its young one lo make any effort lo reach
Ihe tree while llie dreaded enemy Was be
low, ready to spring upon if in case of ila"
failure. S not all this very near akin lo hu
man reason? Site Iltittn Palltulium.
