TUB LOT DAUGHTER-A THRILLING IN CIDENT. A lellfir dated Detroit, Oct. Mill, in the Cleveland Plaindealer, says : An incident occurred on last Thursday af ternoon, which filled the town with much excitemonl, and which called forth many a legend of the kind remembered by the old est inhabitants. A few boys, who had been out on a hunt ing excursion, called at one of their neigh l,.l. 1 .1 . ... . nun urgnn snooting at a maris. A lilllu girl about eight years olJ, who had furmpily had an illness that had effected her head, got alarmed at the Grin?, and tan into tho woods. . In a short time- she was missed, and it was remembered that she had been running towards the woods, and consequently a search began, but night came on, and with it min, which rendered farther search for her 1 hi t riight impossible. Morning came, and yet the little wanderer had not returned. lis frantio parents, with one other child, made further search till the sun had passed the hour of twelve, and yet no tidings of the lust one were had. The neighborhood was alarmed, and dogs, horns, and every instru" ment of the ruslio kind, were marshallot for the search, but again right, with ils Egyptian horrors, set in, without restoring the little cherished one. Minutes seemed hours, with ils distracted mother. t At length the long wished for morning came, and with it a hundred men and boysi who, notwithstanding the still continued storm, went forth into the depths of tho woods, in search of the child, with an eager ness that was commendable beyond the compass of words to express, and yet again night set in and still the lost was not found. What the agonies of the mother were, as tho marshalled force returned without her little charge, tears, shrieks, groans, incoherent ejaculation, and a picture of despair, nan only portray, words are inadequate Another dreadful night was passed. An increased force was raised, who marshalled themselves with the dawn of the Sabbath, before the door of the bereaved parents. Prayers were offered to Almighty God, and the aid of heaven invoked, to direct in the search. The preliminaries being around, a long time was formed upon the section lines, and tho march renewed. Hour after hour passed, and not a vestige of the missing was discovered. Every tree, stump and log, posssessing a suspicious cavity, underwent the closest scru tiny ; every bush and thicket, thickly folia ged, every fir and cradle knoll was visited as the band pressed onward. Long and ar dent was the search, and many fears for the lost little one wero entertained. The sun had far passed the zenith, and was hastening behind the Western hill, when an elderly man and h!s son partly discouraged as well as wearied with the search, were drawn by the hand of an invisible pilot, in an oppnsile direction, far from the tho band, and while standing and discoursing upon the propriety of abandoning further search, a distant 60und broke upon their ear. They hastened in the direction from which the sound proceeded, and having traveled as far as practicable, they halted and listened a few minutes very intently ; again that sound was heard, and turning a few steps in another direction, what was the surprise to behold the little object of their search sitting upon the ground, having just awakened and arisen from a bed of leaves, which it had collected by the side of an old log. There the little innocont sat, in her tattered dress, sobs and sighs heaved her swollen cheeks. As she caught the first glimpse of her de liverers, she asked for something to eat. "Oh," said she, "I have been obliged to go to bed nights without my supper; please to give me someting to eat." They look up the little sufferer, and started for home, which was about four miles distant. While passing through a snarl of tall grass, they asked the girl if she had passed through any such grass. "Ob, yes," said she, "I have travel ed a great way through much taller grass than this, and 1 would call for my father to come and get me, but he would not ; I would call for my mother to come and get me, but she would not ; then I would call for my lit tle brother, and he would nnt come after me. So 1 traveled on " On being then asked if she slept warm at nights, said '''yes, but the first night my little brother went to bed with me, and in the night he pulled off all tho clothes, so I got cold." Arrived in sight of the house, tho distracted mother rushed forth, her haggard countenance now irradiated with the gratitude of heaven for the deliverance of her child, and as she received and pres sed the little wandered to her breast, ex claimed, "my daughter is safe." PROTESTANT EXCITEMENT IN EUROPE. The case of Fsancbsco and Rosa Madiai, at Florence, is exciting a great deal of atten tion and of feeling in tbe protestant and free countries of Europe. Deputations of highly influential men have gone from Prussia and England to intercede with the Tuscan Gov ernment for the annulling of their sentence. They were condemned for "impiety," the husband to 56 months and the wife to 45 months imprisonment at hard labor. The "impiety" consisted simply in teaching a servant girl in their house to read the Dible Tbe case has been appealed to the highest couit in the country, and tho sentence con firmed; the Grand Duke has also refused to interfere with the course of justice, as it is called, and it is very doubtful whether the foreign deputations will have any effeot upon him. That is certainly an unhappy country in which it can be a crime deserving (our years in a slate prison to teach a person to read tbe Bible or any other good book. Not long since, two ladies were on downward trip, on board a Missouri steamer. One ef them had a baby about three months Aid. She said her husband had been gone to California about two years and a half. "How old is that baby 1" said the other. "About tbrea months old." "I thought you said your fcuiband bad been gone to California tw years and half!" ''Oh, yes he has but h writ to me!" Ex. That letter must have come by tnalitN. O.

Tun Cam asi Parlor; or, Slaves and Masters. We are indebted to Ttfr. T. B. Peter son, the publisher, No. 98 Chestnut street, Phila delphia, for a copy of this new wort, which is destined to be second only to "Undo Tom's Cab in" in popularity, but unlile that highly colored fiction, in which all the virtue is engrossed by the colored gentlemen, with only a slight sprin kle for their masters and tho whites. It is not a narrow sectional afl'uir, dedicated to a biassed and unfair misrepresentation. It is thoroughly con stitutional in its tone, and while it freely paints the evils of slavery, it also fairly shows the diffi culties which surround the planter.

Persons having Land Warrants for sale, can dispose of them for cash, by applying at this office. K7 We publish in another column the letter of "Observer" the able correspond ent of the Philadelphia Ledger, written from this place, not so much for any in formation it contains, as to shew the opin ion of strangers of the advantages of our position. Mr. Crund thinks that Sunbury has advantages that should make it a large and fJourising business place, and that noth ing is now wanting but a little more enter prise. We have long been of the same opinion, and trust that the contemplated mprovements, now in progress, will give us a start in our onward career of prosper- ty that nothing can check. E7 A lady friend informs us that an ar- icle of poetry entitled "You Remember it, &.c," published in our paper last week, as original, was an old song twenty years ago. We had no faith in its originality, ourselves, when we permitted its publication, and only did so at the earnest request of one of our hands, a friend of the would-be-poet We certainly sympathize with the youth ful bard. It was rather hard to be antici pated in his very ideas and language twen ty years before his birth. We would ad vise him, however, to leave off poetry, here after, and take to mnemonics in order to improve his memory. W EBSTER AND IIAYNE. No doubt all our readers, who have taken any interest in the political world, have heard ol the great contest in the U. S. Sen ate in 1830, between Mr. Webster and Gen. Ilayne, of South Carolina. We have transferred to our columns this week, an interesting account of this, then ezcitin" debate, and intellectual contest. Mr. Web ster was at that time in the zenith of his power, and ranked as one of the able men of the nation, but after this speech, he had assigned to him a position in which he had but few rivals and no superiors. OYSTERS. There is at present great competition in the Oyster business, and they are now sel ling at such a price, that they might, to some extent, be substituted for beef, at the high prices which it now commands. Mow is the time to indulge! Gold is plenty and oysters cheap. What mora do mor tals want id this mundane sphere. We would give something handsome for tbe appetite that some of our friends possess, for these bivalves, but unfortunately for us, a good beef steak has many more attrac tions, and good beef steaks are neither cheap nor plenty. SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. WILLIAMSPORT AND EL MIR A RAILROAD. Wt are pleased to see that renewed ef forts ire about to be made to construct this important improvement. There can be no doubt of its great importance both to Balti more and Philadelphia, as the town of El mi ra, where this road connects with the great New York and Erie Rail Road, is some thirty miles near these cities than New York. We copy the following on this subject from the last Lycoming Demo crat : Another R teat's. mcnoN. A meeting of tho frionds of this impiovemcut, which par look more of a consulting than a public character, was held in the large saloon of the United Slates Hotel, on Wednesday evening last. By referring to another col umn it will be seen that vigorous efforts are now making to secure the early completion of the Williamsport and Elmira Rail ltoad efforts which, in our opinion, will bo crown ed with entire success. The bondholders, it seems, have agreed to dispose of all their rights, privileges, and property in the road for the sum of sixty thousand dollars. A company is now orga nising in Elmira and VVilliamsport to make the purchase and to finish the road without further delay. The Company propose to start with a bona fide stock subset iption of four hundred thousand dollars. The citizens of Elmira have agreed to take three hun dred thousand dollars worth of stock part corporate and part individunl subscriptions : and it is now asked of the citizens of VVil liamsport to take the balance of the slock.

LETTER FROM SUNBURY. Tht quiet old Town of Sunbury Railroad Bid and Letting A little Lack of Enter, prise New Impetus given to it by tht Pro jected Railroad The Rout from Buffalo to Washington Coalfield and Railroad Communication teith tht Proposed Railroad from Sunbury to Harrisburg The Dauphin Mine and Road Rafting on tht Susque hanna. Sunbury, Nor. 10th, 1852. This quiet old town is, at this moment, the scene of a great deal of stir and bustle. Railroad contractors are filling all the public houses and other places of resort, and it would seem, from all that passes around me, that the spirit of improvement and progress is now about to make a final lodgement in this antiquated place. A number of bids for the whole projected railroad, from here to Harrisburg, have al ready gone in, and various bids are made for different parts of the roads. Tbe Board of Directors will all be here to-morrow, when the lettings will be published. Sunbury is beautifully si'uatcd on the left bank of Ihe Susquehanna, in a healthy, fer tile and highly cultivated valley, and must from its geographical position, become, soon er or later, a thriving town. Capital is less wanting in this charming place than a pio per spirit of enterprise, supported by sub stantial labor, for both which the improve ments now about to be made seem to open a wide field. The new rail road from Sunbury to Har risburg will be pait of a continuous road from Baltimore to Buffalo, which will bring Buffa lo 33 miles nearer Baltimore than New Fork city by the nearest route ; a circumstance littlo known or dreamt of by many good people of the Empire State. But this is not all. A still shorter line, saving 12 miles more, could be established by a road from Williamsport to WelUborongh, and thence lo Ilomellsville, (ihe termination of Ihe Buffalo and New York city rail road) in the place of going from Williamsport lo Elmira. It is for this reason, 1 suppose, that the citi zens of Buffalo take such a lively interest in the projected .rail road from this place to Harrisburg, and that several gentlemen, among whom George Lnuman, Esq., aro now here, as the represenlalives of some of tho first banking houses of that city, sub scribing largely to tbo stock of Ihe com pany. When the road here designated shall be completed, a person will be able to start from Buffalo in the moriinr, and arrive in the city of Washington, by the way of Balti more, as soon as he is now able to get to New York city on his way lo Washington. But 150 miles of the line (from Harrisburg lo Ihe New York and Erie Railroad,) remain lo be completed, and 56 miles of it (from Sunbury lo !larribuig) will be let to morrow. The mineral wealth of Pennsylvania, and especially Ihe rich con I fields of the Slate, will largely contribute to supply the business of the projected road, and must eventually infuse soma new life and vigor into lliis phice, which has been ironically called "a finished town." A town is never "finished" in thai sense, as lung as new avenues of wealth and industry are opened to ils citi zens. Twenty-five miles of rail road are already finished from Sunbury to Shamokin, serving as a means ol transput ta! ion fur ihe coal of that region, which will now be further dis tributed by tho Sunbury and Harrisburg rail load. Passing the road further down toward Harrisburg, ubout 12 miles, at the mouth of the Mahonoy Creek, is the Trevorion road, leading lo the Mahonoy mines ; nnd at Mil- lersburjr, 15 miles further down, is the I.y- kens rail road, leading into the Lykens Val ley mines now in full operation. 18 miles still lower down, is the Dauphin rail road completed 25 miles. By that road there is to be a connection with the Reading rail road, furnishing nn outlet to the iuexhausli. tile coal-fields of Dauphin, and lo New York by Allentown, Easton and Somerville ; com pleting at the same time, a new route from New York to the South, by the way of Bal timore and Washington. The rafting business of this place is also largely increasing ; some eighty or one bundled rafts being now here, ready lo car ry timber and lumber down to Havie-de- Grace, to be I hence transported to Philadel phia and Baltimore. The adjoining county of Lycoming alone, furnishes -10,000,000 of feet of timber per annum. Such are the prospects of Sunbury ; and it can hardly be thai they should remain un improved. Observer. The Japan expedition, it is said will sail for Jeddo about tho 1st of December. It will consist of the ship of the line Vermont ; the steamers Mississippi, Susquehanna, Al legheny and Princeton ; sloops-of-war Sara toga, St. Mary's and Vincennes; frigate Ma cedonian ; brig Porpoise and storeships Southampton, Lexington, and Tulbot in all thirteen vessels, carrying about 330 guns and 3700 men, including marines. The steamers are supplied with Paixhan guns. Commodore M C. Perry will be in com mand of the expedition. Commander J. R. Sands has been assigned lo the command of the steamer Allegheny, and Cupt. Hiram PaulJing to the ship of the line Vermont. The expedition is to carry out, among other modern invention, a magnetio telegraph ap paratus, a locomotive and railroad cars. Supreme Court Decision. Tne Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Woodward presiding, has decided that, "upon the rever al of a judgement of a justice of the peace, upon a certioraii, the award of execution fot the cost is as much a part of Ihe judgement as the reversal itself." Masonic Celebration. The brethren of the Masonio Order, living in Harrisburg and vicinity, celebrated on Thursday evening the 10th insl , Ihe one hundredth anniversary of tbe initiation of George Washington. Tub Maine Law in Massachusetts has been sustained by tbe late election. The Legislature chosen will not, it is supposed, repeal or amend it. OFFICIAL VOTE FOR FRESIDEFIT. I AM. Fiesklent. ltM.

The following interesting; and very grati fying sketch of the character and qualifica tions of Gen. Franklin Pinrce, with tho apt allusion to his peculiarly independent posi tion, is from tho Boston Transcript, a neutral paper, the editor of which enjoys a peisonal acquaintance with him : Gen Pierce. Never was a President o! the United States elected under more grali fying auspices, or by a more overwhelming popular vole than General Franklin Pioice. Hu will come into power with such creden tials from tho penplo as no President of '.he United States has ever had, if wc except Washington and Monroe. Ho must be fully aware thai it is not lo the ladies of party or the eflorti of politicians and partisan presses, that he is indebted fur the unparalleJ sup port which he has received The people themselves, independent of parly ties and party divisions, have come forward in their might lo place him in power as tho more un equivocal representative of thoso principles of attachment Ic tho Union, which tlicy re gard as paiamouut to ull the fleeting quos tions of the day. Wo believe that General Pieice is deeply impressed with these truths; and we believe that while true lo his past political creed, he will construe it in no nairow spirit, but tuko a broad nnd liberal view of nlf.iiis, and aim to be the President of a people raiher than a party. We are not so romantic as tu sup pose that he will retain in office the suppor ters of Gen. Scott, but we look for a temper ate and discreet exercise of the appointing power, and a due regard to tho character and abilit) of incumbents. Tho "flibus lers" have misjudged llieir man if they ex pect to find a tool in General Pieice. Dis tinguished for hs scrupulous adherence to fair dealings in a profession where the temptations to diverge are frequent a sound lawyer, and so far couseivative as u doe reverence for law and laws can render n man we have no fear that he will counte nance illegal enterprises against oilier coun tries, or that, to secure a transient popularity he will violate any legal or constitutional principle of our government. Never did a young man enter upon a more splendid career than that which now opens to Franklin Pierce. Backed by the almost unanimous support of the entire country, he will commence his presidential term, untrammelled by other pledges than those which his own past acts and avowed sentiments have given to the world. A "new man," he has no tnops of personal "clients" and expectants, who will regard their past services as claims fur presidential favors. He enters upon the services of the country with no reservations pledging him beforehand to the service of individuals. From w hat we know of the man, we believe he will make an honorable, competent, pa triotic Chief Magistrate ; generous and un selfish in his motives of action ; independent magnanimous and liberal in his treatment of opponents vigilant, scrupulous and industri ous in the details of his office ; led by no blind guides ; duped by no kitchen cabinet, and lending himself to no acl or policy un worthy of his high and responsible station Americans Voting for President of the United States, at Panama On Tues day, the 2d inst., a large number of Ameri can citizens assembled at the U S. Consu late, in Panama, and registered iheir votes, viva voce, in favor of the different candidates for Ihe Presidency. The polling kepi up quite an excitement during Ihe day. The result of the day showed a majority of 27 in favor of Gen. Scott. Three hundred and twenty seven votes in all were registered j the voters representing every Stale in Ihe Union From Maryland there were 4 for Scott 1 for Pierce. At the St. Charles bar-raomj also, votes were recieved by ballot, resulting as follows : Scott and Graham, 106; Pierce and King, 117; Webster and Jenkins 3; Hale and Julien. I. Giving Pierce and King a majority over Scott at the poll, of 11 votes.

L.Ol'19 WAPOLEOH IK H. V. CITY. Tho Brooklyn Daily Advertiser, morali. zing upon the rapid ascent of Louis Napo leon up the ladder of ambition, from posi live poverty, lo superlative grandeur and power, recals some reminiscences of his so journ in N. Y. city many years ago. The editor says : "What strange events have occurred with in a few years in reference to that man ! We knew him whilst he was residing in New York, at a lodging house in Itendo street, then kept by a gentleman who now occupies a high official position under the French Government. Al that time ho was very poor, and very dissipated. Notoriously profligate in his habits, and wi'hout the pe cuniary ability to indulgo toMho full bant of his inclination the culpable propensilies which characterized him, he was frequently expelled from certain places in which he ob truded himself, and more than n dozen times was the occupant of a cell at the old jail in tbe Park, long since torn down. ".ot long prior to his leaving tbe United States, he was arrested for a misdemeanor committed by him at the disreputable house of a woman whoso establishment ho often visited, and the writer of this article was employed professionally by him to save him from the threalened consequences of his recklessness and indiscretion- We lililo supposed at that time that tho thonyhtlrps gay young man who was then our client (and who is still indebted In us for counsel fees and disbursements) would become Em peror of France. Such, however, is now his "manifest destiny,' nlthongh wo believe that his realization of his ambitious hopes and aspirations will but hasten the fearful doom which unquestionably impends over him." A REM .1 KKABI.K MA. Al n temperance meelins, held in Ala bama a short lime nj;", Col. f.emanoiisky who had been twenty-three years in the ar mies of Napoleon Bonaparte, addressed I he mee'ing.
