FOURTH OP JULY. ---This national anniversary
gala day is near at hand, and as yet we have not
heard of any preparation, of a general character,
towards its due celebration. Only three thiya in
tervene between this and the ever memorable
Fourth—yet, we doubt not, that if the public com
posing this community, and that portion of it in
particular whogenerally lead of in matters of this
kind, would take hold of it. in the right spirit, we
could have quite en agrecabto celebration—one
front which all political 'and sectarian speeches and
sentiments would be excluded; and one that the
entire people could unite together cordially and har
moniously in reviewing the history of our country's
long and arduous struggles for the glorious consti
tutional liberty we now enjoy.
A proper observance of this day will be calcu
lated to inspire animation into the drooping and de
clining patriotism which has reigned over portions
of the country fur some years past ; and revive
that common spirit of nationality which suirers
dirnrninution every year by party and sectional an
imosities. We love to sec a whole community
meet together at one festive board, without dis
tinction of party, sect or creed, and enjoy them
selves right heartily. But let nut that day be ileac
crated by dissipation. Order and decorum should
mark every feature of it; and no one, we aro per
suaded, who lays any claim to reason and good
sense would be guilty of violating it.
By reference to our advertising columns it will
be seen that a number of our merchants have Itgrec,!
to stop alt business, and give an opportunity to
those employed by them to celebrate this day us
each one thinks best. IVe hope that trot only
those who have agreed, by their card, to smtpond
all business on this day, but that the whole commu
nity will unite with one voice in proclaiming it a
general holliday.

Gusnr.—The natural vied %vith the political ele
ments, on Wednesday afternoon last. A very ir
regular game of cross purposes was played by se
veral distinguished- performers, among whom we
recognized Miss Zephyr, in a bustle, Aeolus in a
bust, and Berens, blustering as usual. The con
test. continued until the lady—seconded by her
gentle neighbor Camilla, adopted the de, ;tier rem!
of her sex, a copious shower of tears, which decided
the victory in her favor, and rime clused the day in
brightness and beauty, regardless of the grumbling
of her discomfited rivals; and we would fain be
lieve that the tempest which is "playing lu.b" over
the country now, w ill leave as smiling and peaceful
state of affairs " when the wind goes down," as did
the storm we chronicle.

DROWNED:A German boy, ten or twelve years

on the afternoon of Thursday last. Ile was the

a verdict of accidental drowning.
This should be another warning to boys who
cannot swim, to keep away from the voter, unless
accompanied by some ono who can take care of
them. Will it be heeded?

FRFF Sort.—Tlae most unobservant must be struck
with the (act, that power, whose origin is in the
people, is fast getting back into the hands of those
• from whom it emanates. Delegates Lace, in these
latter times, but little discretionary power, and are
expected to carry out the will of their constituents,
and to go no farther. Follow instructions or re
sign, is the doctrine ; and the curious spectacle of
bolters from both the great particsof the day, meet
ing thr middle ground, and uniting the forces which
have been so long opposed, in the common support
of a common ides, has ceased to be a novelty.
Among the seceders from established usages,
none seem more earnesi,than the advocates of Free
Soil. Several presses have already been established
for the enlightenment of the world, upon the rights
of cach of God's creatures, to a share of the soil,
sufficient to supply his wants, and to afford him
can ploy ment. An Industrial Congress, havisg, this
as the basis of its organization, has just adjourned
at Philadelphia, after having erected as platform
upon which to stand, and nominated for President,
and Vice President, Gerrit Smith of New York.
and Wm. S. Wait of Illinois.
The Spirit of Freedom is the title of a neatly
printed and ably conducted weekly paper, devoted
tu the dissemination of the doctrines embodied in
the f illuwing pledges :

The 'Return of our Volunteers is anxiously
awaited. Arrangements arc in progress at the dif.
ferent towns and cities where any considerable
number of these bravo soldiers. who have escaped
the ravages of war and climate, arc expected to ar
rive, for receiving them with every demonstration
of gratin& and joy.
As to the time of their departure, their arrival,
&c., the editor of the Pennsylvanian says he re•
CCIVVII a letter front Mexico, which states that the
volunteers under Major General Patterson, arrived
at Jalapa, on the Gth of June. As threr.fourths of
the distance between the. city of Mexico and Vera
Cruz—ono hundred and eighty miles—loud been
marched over, ut the above date, by our troops in the
short space of one week, it is probable that they
reached Vera Cu uz by the 9th or 10th, and that
they sailed from Vera Cruz on the 12th. Wo may
therefore anticipate the arrival of the voluntors at
Philadelphia about the 10th of July.

A Peer.—The Washington correspondent of the
Phan Sun says, blood has again been spilled in the
Diytrict—human blood—government blood—blood
that behmgvd to a young gentleman in love, and I
consequently mad blood. I am nut permitted to ,
divulge names ; but it appears the fracas began
and ended in this wise: Mr. W. was in the habit
of paying his addresses to a certain young lady in
town, but was immoderately annoyed by the con.
stout attendance of a rival. Therefore, in order to
get rid of the latter—who, by the by, accrued to
obtain the greater scare of the lady's affections—
he addressed to him a letter under the signature of
the "Sweetheart," requesting that in future ho
would absent himself from her father's domicil,
and other gratuitous verbiage which it is nut ne.
cessary to repeat. Cursing the coquetry of women
kind, tho beau betook himself off; but by hook or
crook, he shortly gained an lidding of the trick
which had been played upon him, and appealed for
explanation to the parties accordingly. 'As may be
supposed a general blow-np was the result ; and an
exchange of cards shortly succeeded. The
gerenb , , after nursing their vengeance over night,
met yesterday, near 131adeastung, at a place called
thc "Commons," and the challenger for his temeri
ty, received a ball through his arm at the second
fire. The affray then terminated : lut I mint in
formed a second meeting will take place on Mon
day or Tuesday next. It would be a pity 10 Steil

to further proceedings.

MIL EDITOR: You will oblige many by- giving
this a pis.ce in your valuable paper. 'Tho custom
existing in our town of keeping open places of bus
iness until a late hour. at- night, presses so hard
upon many, that a very just cause of complaint has
arisen. Li Lancaster, York, Harrisburg, and
other places, stores are closed at 8 o'clock in the
evening. We wick a similar arrangement, to af.
turd to young men some time for relaxation and
mental culture. We do not ask to have a ten hour
system adopted, but feel it too oppressive to endure
the present seventeen or eighteen hour system,
whisk would be better suited to some iron coneti.
Union than to persons mostly of delicate physical
powers'. We can see no disadvantage that would
accrue to employers from adopting the above
named hour for closing the stores in our town, as
persons once knowing it to be a general rule to
close at 8 o'clock, would supply themselves before
that time; and be a means of enabling young
men to be more active and energetic for their em
ployers good during business hours. Such a change
would be hailed with the most lively satisfaction,
as the dawn of a new and better era by many who
know how to appreciate any amelioration of their
condition. Submitting the matter to employers,
we respectfully ask for it it favorable consideration.

Fourth of July Excursion.
Ma. Micron: The 72d anniversary of American

pleasantly enjoyed, in order to keep the importance
of the day fresh in uur minds.; and as several Bach.

worshippers, or at least the appreciators of female
worth and beauty, propose to have a Steam Boat
Erruision up the Sonamelianna river, to start from
Grubb's Steam lio.rt \\'hurf up to Codorus creek,
a distance of about six miles, where we will encamp
and spend the rest of the day in Dancing, Fishing,
Hunting and all the t tule , but romantic sports that
that heart titidly mon:dubious section affords, and
return in the evening. by the steamer "Clodorns."
A Concert Band will accompany the excursion to
enliven the company with its harmonious strains.
It is to he erpechal and hoped that the t

some of their fair ones, thereby making the evcur

SEVEN DAYS LATER
FROM EUROPE.
from 3likkorA Model American Conner
Ily the arrival of the Britannia, we have seven
days later news from abroad. It is important, as
exhibiting the steady progression of 'events to
wards ultimate political freedom throughout Eu
rope, but it indicates, as has all previous intelli
gence, that this progression is to be through tierce
convulsions, bloodshed, and distressing anarchy.
The wild passions of the Irish have cooled off in
some degree since the* departure of Mr. Mitchel ;
but they still use strong language, and express a
determination to have a repeal at any cost..
The Repeal Association and Orange Confede.
ration have at last fraternised. A new society to
be composed of the members of both those bodies
is to be formed. It is to assume the style and title
of the Irish League.
It is to be managed by a committee chosen
from the members of both the late societies, and
to agitate the question of repeal by constitutional
means alone. Doubts are entertained by many
whether such materials as the proposed league will
contain, can work harmoniously together fur any
length of time.
The government have not yet made any move
to reindict Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Meagher.
Sympathy for Mrs. Mitchel and her children is
still repressed, and the funds collecting in their
behalf arc daily increasing.
The Irish Confederation have issued a very
strong, and, to any the truth, disaffected address to
the people of Ireland. The following arc among
the morn important passages. The address is
signed by Smith O'Brien.
"We will not carmen! from the Government
that nothing but the most strenuous exertions of our
counsel prevents the outbreak of an insurrection.
Last week thousands of brave men had resolved
that Jahn Mitchel should not leave the Irish

The present aspect of commercial affairs on Ow
continent continues clotl and unsatisfactory, but, in
sonic respects, a alight improvement is perceptible.
Thera is a further increase in the supply of
money, and the rate of interest tends downward.
FRANCK-11 Vlt CONSTITUTION.—FratICC is, how
ever, still the theatre of considerable confusion. ,
A report was spread in the course of the sitting'
of the National Assembly on rho Silt ultimo, that
the police were in search of a high personage,
who arrived that morning at Paris by the diligence
from London. From information believed to be
correct this personage has been arrested. The
personage here alluded to is the Prince de Joinville.
Prince Louis Napoleon is understood to be in
for Paris. Re will probably obtain three returns
I besides that at the capital. The government of
course will not dare to molest hint.
The European Times states that "the resigna•
tion of Lamartine and Ledru Rollin was openly
talked of in Paris, and suspicions are expressed
that Lamartine was a party to tho movement of
the 15th of May. Caussidierc, late Prefect of the
Police, charges Lamartine with having supplied
tho arms to Soubriore, which enabled him to get
up the conspiracy. Lantartine's friends all allege
that his elm was by making a popular demonstra.
lion to avoid a collision in the streets of Paris.
M. There is reported as not unlikely to supplant
Lamartine in authority.
The returns fur the eleven vacancies in the depu.
tetiun of Paris were proclaimed un the 9th inst.
al the llotel do Vine. The following is tho lint of
the successful candidates: Caussidiere, Moreau,
Goudchamp, Bliangarinier, Thiers, Pierre Leroux,
Victor Hugo, Louis Bonaparte, Lagrange, Boissel,
Proudhom.
Afters stormy debate in the National Assembly,
a decree for preventing tumultuous assemblies in
tho streets, was carriod•by 478 against 82.
Several additional regiments am expected imme•
(hate.) , in Paris.
Paris was tranquil, but the groups of mit ar
seMbled at the Porte St. Penis and the Porte St.
Martin, haring become more numerous on Monday
afternoon than heretofore, a strong detachment of
troops of the line was despatched to disperse them
as. they refused to retire. After having been
three time sum moned to do sit,the soldiers charged
with fixed bayonets. A number of persons were
arre.ited, but afterwards set at liberty.
The Constitution of Prance.—The Presse states
that the Commission on the Constitution has de
cided on the following important point:—The '
political constitution of France shall be a Demo
cratic Republic—one and indivisible. This propo
sition was adopted unanitnously. The project of
the constitution is to be preceded by a declaration,
admitting, besides the rights already enjoyed by
the people, those of gratuitous education, employ.
ment and assistance.
A greet alarm is expected by the approaching
monster banquet to he held on Monday under the
walls of the fortress of Vincennes. The subrcrip•
lion had been raised to 10 sons a head, and the
party who has organized announces that there are
already 100,000 subscribers.
The latest accounts slate that the banquet has
been postponed.
A us.rn lA.—We have accounts from Vienna to the
f2d instant. The conduct of the Emperor is cnn
sidcrcd must extraordinary. A deputation of ladies
to present a petition, requesting his slajesty to re
turn to his capital, had been treated with marked
rudeness.
At lospruelc, the Emperor took the petition
from the ladies, and, without saying a word, turned
on his heel and walked away. The city was quiet,
but distrust continued to prevail between the peo
ple and time noblesse. Muny of the latter class
were leaving to join the Court, or to retire to Ba
den Ischel. Nearly all the foreign Ambassadors
were at !Ambling in the vicinity.
The bankers Rothschilds, stud and eseales, had
lett the city. Time general wish was felt that the
Emperor might sous return.
IrAt.v.—lt is issid that Pope Pins had recovered
all his popularity, and un the feast of St. Philip,
the population made a brilliant manifestation in
his favor.
Advices from Turin to the Ist have brought the
important intelligence that the Peschiara had cur
renderul, end was in the hands of the troops of
Charles Albert, end that an engagement had taken
phice at the same moment at G u th,. between 30,000
Austrians, who last marched from Vienne, and
15,000 Peidmontdse The result of which was that
the Ibriner were completely routed, and being pur
sue,/ by the cavalry, were dying in confusion. A
great portion were cut to pieces. The King and
the Duke of Satoy were personally engaged in this
combat. The former received a slight contusion
of the ear from a cannon ball that passed near him,
and the latter was slightly wounded by a musket
ball.
SPMN—RUSSIA.—The despatches of the Belgian
Minister are to the Bth. Then uthorities of Cadiz
have compelled all the British residents to furnish
securities for their conduct. Arrests arc daily
taking place in Madrid.
The cholera is again making sad havoc in Russia.
According to the Berlin papers, there were 755
cases in Moscow-57 of which terminated fatally.
"Toe Asni.o.S.Axos."—lt is a fact well worthy
of notice, that '• The Angio•Saxon," the Phone.
typic newspaper published in this city by Andrews
and Boyle, has attained the extraordinary circu
lation of six thousand, weekly, in little more than
one year since its establishment. This is certainly
one of the boldest attempts at innovation on a
large scale that we have ever known, and is, so
far, decidedly one of the most successful. Phone
typy and Phonography together, constitute what is
known as "the Language Reform," ur "the
Writing and Spelling Retbrtnstion." We have
licrendi.rc spoken approvingly of the principle
which lies at the bottom of thin movement ; but,
apart from its merits, the fact that a family news
paper in the English language, printed in en en.
tircly new system of spelling words, with an alpha
bet of flo-ty tiro letters, instead or the tweety.six
old stagers which have served our forefathers, is
liberally sustained, and that its circulation is rapid
ly increasing, is indisputably one of the must
striking and singular phenomena of the nineteenth
century. The sheet itself is one of the "curiosi
ties of literature." To the uninformed eye, it may
seem the absurdest thing imaginable; but the
reputation of its conductors fur scholarship, the
fact that their labors are not only approved and
sanctioned, but warmly advocated, by some of the
most learned societies and individuals in the
country, mud by many or those most interested its
education, together with the success which accom
panies the undertaking, should at least render
those who have not thoroughly studied its princi.
pies and understood its advantages, somewhat
modest in condemning it.
Phonography, a kind of rapid and scientific
short hand, is rapidly coming into use for verbatim
reporting, and even for letter.writing. It is un
doubtedly the most perfect system of writing ever

' Plionotypy, is its influence in correcting false
Ihabits of pronunciation. A year's reading of

be worth far more, as a means of family edema

the paper at once, prompted by mere curiosity at

A We:int:arm. PII ENoStr.NON.—A singular phe
nomenon was brought to light a week ago yester•
day, in the township of Greenfield, about eight
miles from this city. The facts arc very nearly as
follows. The Messrs. Grangers in boring to find
water to supply their saw null, sunk a four inch
hole to the depth or 71) feat, when they struck a
vein, or cavity. As they withdrew the augur
from the hole, to their great surprise, it was follow.
ed by a violent current of air, that threw up stones
as large as lien's eggs, teal or fifteen feet high.
Tor a few moments, when the hole was first
opened, the air was accompanied by a stream of
water, which was thrown ten or twelve feet high.
The water, however, soon ceased coining, and the
air gushed out with such force that the roar could
be distinctly heard fifty or sixty rods distant. On
touching fire to the air, it. caught, and the flames
flashed twenty feet high, and came near burning
the building, covering the suachinery in which it
is located.
They finally succeeded with considerable diffi
culty in stopping it, by forcing down blankets, and
driving a spite into this hole, which was their only
" mans L A stopping the air or gas, and extinguish.
ing the flames. For sevcrai moments alter the
bolo was stopped, the earth trembled and shook
for some distance around, as though an eruption
was about to take place. The people, who by
this ;time had gathered to the number of aboui
a hundred, were greatly ohirined at these symp.
toms and scattered with all possible rapidity, sup
posing that "Millerism" was about coming to a
locus. or that they were about to be blown up
sky high by an earthquake. From the time it
was opened till it was thus closed, was about six
hours, and the air gushed out all the time with
unabated violence. .
has been opened several times since with
the same effect- The, power and force of the air
does not seem to diminish in the least. The
Messrs. It:rangers arc proposing to secure it with
apparatus so as to shut it off end let it out at
leisure, and test its real qualities. The people in
that vicinity arc all confident now, that it can he
conveyed here in pipes, and successfully used for
lighting the city with gas, from this great natu

The Siamese Twins, for the last eight or ten
years residing on a farm in North Carolina, pur
pose to make another tour of the Southern and
Western States the cooling Fall, for exhibition.
They will start from home in October. They have
wives and three children each—a fact which has
given the husbands additional interest, and go
where they may, especially if their wives accom
pany them, we predict more crowded houses than
ever before.
