TIIE BEDFORD BUETTE. Bedford, Dee. I I, ISW. G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor- VVe invite the attention of our young men to the advertisement of our valued friend YY T M. M. HALL, Esq., which will be found in another column. Mr. H. proposes to teach a class in Surveying, and we feel well assured that those who place themselves onder his instruction will never regret having done so. Possessing a full knowledge ofthis business himself, lie knows well how to impart it toothers. This favorable opportunity to learn Surveying should induce our enterprizing joung men to avail themselves of it immediately, and we have 110 donht they will dtj SO. unintentionally neglected to slate, last week, in noticing the Poor House appoint ments, that YY'.M. F. MOOREIIEAD and E MANTEL OSTKR, Esqs. had been re-appointed as steward and miller to said establishment. Both these gentlemen have discharged their duties well, and to the entire satisfaction of the people.— YVE consider Mr. Moorehead as well calcula ted for Steward as any man that could have been selected—in fact, we look upon him as the very man to do ample justice to the unfortu nate poor, and sick, placed under his control— and, as fur Mr. Oster, lie is well known to be one of our best Millers. (LT^REFORM. —YV'e have heard somrboast ing in a few quarters, of certain reforms at the Poor House, which consist, we believe, in cur tailing the salaries heretofore allowed to the Physician, Clerk, and Treasurer, and abolishing the office of Attorney. If the County Commis sioners would reduce the salaries of certain other Treasurers and Clerks , and other officials about the Court House, and cut off their Attor ney, which is just as useless as the one at the Poor House, would this parade be made in com mendation of their conduct? No reasonable man will say that the salaries of the Poor House were too large. If a Physician does his duty in attending faithfully to the loathsome cases frequently presented lor his skill, to say noth ing of the numberless other cases, his salary ought to be S2OO instead of s(io. Shame on all reforms that expect men to work for noth ing and find themselves! ROOSTERS VS. POLLOCK. A few days since, His Excellency, JAMES POLLOCK, attempted to address an exhibition of in Philadelphia, but they declined to hear him. All was quiet when the Governor entered the spacious building, Put no sooner had he opened his mouth to speak, than all the Boosters commenced to crow, and continued to do so until they hud "crowed him down."— The Governor acknowledged the corn , and took his seat. Some say he afterwards retired to another room to take a drink ! Gov. POLLOCK has pardoned Dr. BE ALE, about whom so much has been said in the pub lic prints. It was reported by the K. N. pa pers that thirty thousand dollars had bpen raised to procure his pardon by Gov. BICLER—but Gov. B. did'nt pardon him! ! If he had, ail these Journals stood ready to charge the Execu tive with CORRUPTION—now they applaud a Governor of their " own sort " for opening the prisinn doors and trampling upon the verdict of a Court and Jury. Pollock established as a rule, that persons applying for pardon, should have a notice of the fact published in a newspaper of the proper County. In this case, however, the Governor required no such notice! If Gov. Pollock would turn out every criminal in all the Penitentiaries his conduct would receive the applause of every k. n. paper in the State!— Such is anti.-democ.racy. ST. LAWRENCE HOUSE, just open ed on Chesnnt street, Philadelphia, by our friend WM. S. CAMPBELL, Esq., formerly of the St. Charles, Pittsburg, promises to be one of the very best hotels in that city. A recent glance at" its magnificently furnished parlors, spacious dining rooms, and unusually well arranged and elegantly furnished chambers, enables us to speak "by the Iwok :" and we have, therefore, no hesitation in recommending "the St. Law rence" to such of our readers as may visit tlie "City of Consolidation." If Mr. CAMPBELL nnd'his-gentlemanly assistants, the Messrs. Ivtix- LIN, dc> not entirely come up to the expecta tions of their guests, it w ill not lie because thev lack accommodating dispositions or a desire to please. YY r e speak of this house with entire confidence. We copy the above paragraph from the Get tysburg Compiler of last Wednesday, and en dorse every word of it. We accompanied our friend STAIILE in an examination of this mag nificent house, and have no hesitation in saying that it will compare with any other hotel in the Union. Everybody knows CAMPBELL, and none know him hut to like him. The Gettysburg Compiler warmly and zeal ously advocates the nomination of JOEL B. DAN KER as the next Democratic candidate for Au ditor General, and many of the Democratic pa pers throughout the State have handsome!v re sponded to the suggestion. Mr. Danner is one of the reliob/t Democrats of the State, and, should lie be selected for this post, will make one of the very best officers we have ever had. The Democracy of Adams deserve some consid eration at the hands of the Democracy of (lie State. A K. tongrrss- Congress has now been in session nearly two weeks, without being abb; to elect a Speaker. Theic whole fig&t is about the "Spoils," each division.of the apposition to the Demotratic Party claiming them! In tiie meantime they are squandering thous ands and tensof thousands of dollars of the Peo ple's money. How do the tax-j avers like such Americans to rule America ' UO.ISTIMi THE KNOW NOTHINGS. The Democratic people—the independent farmers ot Granville and adjoining counties— had a grand mass meeting and barbacue at Hen derson, North Carolina, last week, which con tinued through a couple of days. Hon. YVil don N. Edwards presided, and made an address. Hon. A. W. Venable, Mr. Jenkins, Dr. Pri chard and others, also made speeches. Gov. Bragg was present to meet his old friends ot his native place. Letters were read from Gov. Wise, of Virginia, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, Kc. The speeches were excellent, and alto gether it was an effectual demonstration against Know-Nothingism. We have room only to copy the remaiks of Hon. John Kerr, of Cas well, late member of Congress, as we find them in the Raleigh Register. They are worthy the attention of Massachusetts Whigs. He spoke for more than an hour on the subjects of Know- Nothingism, slavery, the Nebraska bill, and kindred topics. "He said he found himself in what might be considered strange company : but he asked and looked for his old Whig friends, and found many of them in a dark corner, concealed from the light ofdav. He asked them what they were doing—the answer was '/ don't know.'— Where had thev been?—'/ don't know.' What had become of Whig principles?—'7 don't know.' He said that as a Whig he had met the Democracy in open dav, had contended with them openly before the people, and there were no oaths, concealments, no mysterious grips on either side. Both parties had labored lor the good of the country, and the means they employed were honest,above-board, and known and read of all men. The man who held that virtue was confined to anv particular party or sect, was a bigot and a iool. He had found true men in both parties, and honesty and right intent in the masses of the people generally : and he deeply regretted that so many of his old friends had gone astray into the dark labyrinths of Know-Kothingism. For himself, he was still a Whig on the old issues: hut those issues had either been settled, or had been abandoned by bis former associates, and new ones had been presented. As against tile pestilent isms of the Know-Nothings, and on the great questions cf slavery, the constitution and the Union, he was with the Democratic party: he was with that party because he was for his country and for the perpetuation of the Union according to the constitution : and that party, in his humble judgment, was the onlv one which could admin ister the government on national principles, and give reasonable assurance that our institu tions would be preserved. He spoke from per sonal observation and experience while in Con gress. He had seen, with regret, the great body of the Whigs of tiie free States maintaining grounds of hostility to the south; and he bad seen, also, and had proclaimed the fact every where, as due to common justice even that the Democrats of the same region, as a party, and as represented in Congress, were disposed, and had shown a readiness by their vote, to respect the constitutional rights of the south, and to aid in securing those rights to our people as involv ed in the slavery question. He spoke in terms of high commendation of such Democrats as Douglas, Cass and Toucey, and of such Whigs as Choate, Everett and Farley. He did not pause to ask, in a contest like this, what the true men were called—he looked to acts, not names—to .deeds, not professions, and shaped his course accordingly. The Know Nothings could offer no reasonable assurance tfiat the Union would be safe in their hands. They were not national—they were sectional on the great question which so vitally concerns us all, and were, therefore, powerless for good, in this respect, in the very beginning of their move ments. In addition to this, they were intoller ant and prescriptive, a.nd as such should and must be overthrown before the progress of en lightened public opinion. He spoke at some iength, in commanding eloquence, in support of the principles of religious liberty, and in oppo sition to the narrow and exclusive policy of the Know-Nothings in relation to foreign emi gration. Terrible Catastrophe. Explosion of a Steam Fire-Engine—The Engi neer Killed—Three Others Badhj Injured. Since the introduction of that most effectual file annihiiator, the steam fire-engine, in this city, not an accident had occurred in working it until yesterday afternoon, when, during a trial before a special committee from Chicago, the boiler of the Joe Ross exploded, in conse quence of which the engineer, John Winter bottom, was killed, arid John Latta, Benjamin Gilman, Horace English seriously injured. The facts, as elicited before Dr. Menzies, who held an inquest upon the body of Winter-bottom, are these: As we announced yesteiday, a com mittee from Chicago, were deputed to examine tlie modus operandi of our steam fire-engine, and two o'clock yesterday afternoon was the time appointed for the trial. Between that hour and three o'clock the A. A. Latta was brought opposite the Mechanics' Institute, in presence ol the Committee, and commenced getting up steam : from some cause or other, in stead ol eight minutes, the usual time occupied iu this process, it was over twelve minutes be fore she was ready to play, when she performed to tlie entire satisfaction of the Chicago gentle men. In the mean time-the Joe Ross arrived upon the ground, and after the Latta had finish ed, her crew proceeded to exhibit her powers to tlie committee. In seven minutes and a quarter she commenced throwing two streams, when the engineer was requested to hold up, in order that a connection might be formed, so that the water could be propelled through owe nozzle. This lie did, and a minute afterward tlie hose burst, when the steam was again shut I off. and almost instantaneously the explosion took place, in consequence of theie being no water in the boiler. The engineer, John YY'in terhottom, was blown into the air a considera ble height, and fell some fifty yards from the engine. His legs were blown from the body, tin- entrils of which were lorn out, and when picked up, nothing hut the trunk and head re mained. It was a sickening sight, and will not readily be forgotten bv those who witnessofl it. He was thirty-six years of age, an Englishman by birth, and leaves a wife and child. Alexander Latta and Benjamin Gilman were severely, although not dangerously scalded, and Horace English was badlv hurt by being struck in the side by a portion of the boiler. The ac cident happened at about half past four o'clock. I'he remains of poor Winterbottoin having been c.ollecfed, a coffin was procured, and they w ere conveyed to the now desolate home of his wid- 1 owed wife and fatherless child. DEMOCRATIC fOI'JITV MEETING- The Democracy of Bedford County will meet, in Mass meeting, at the Court House in Bedford 011 MONOAV EVENING of the approaching Court to choose conferees to meet those of Fulton and Somerset to select a Senatorial delegate to the next State Convention, and to make other ar rangements for a full and thorough organization of the Demociatic Party ol Bedford County.— It is hoped that every Democrat who can make it convenient to attend will d so. Several speeches will be made on the occasion. JOHN P. REED, Chairman County Committee.. THE WASHINGTON UNION.— The Washing ton Union will hereafter be conducted under the firm of A. 0. P. Nicholson and J. W. For ney, as joint editors and proprietors, in accor dance with a previous arrangement. During the present session of Congress, and the cam paign for the Presidency, every effort will be made to render the Union woithv of the support and confidence of the American Democracy.— It will unhesitatingly support the principles of the administration of Franklin Pierce, and will be open to the defence of every Democrat who is assailed by the enemies of the Constitution.— Committed to no one candidate for the Presi dency, and prepared, with all its eneigies, to support the nominee of the Cincinnati Demo cratic National Convention, it will never be found wanting in the hour of trial, but will maintain its position against all combinations, and at every hazard. We take this occasion to tender to the Democracy throughout the coun try our heartfelt thanks for the constantly in creasing patronage which we have received.— Our subscription now is larger, by many thou sands, than it has ever been, and it is growing daily at an average not less than one hundred. It is our determination to merit these marks of Democratic confidence by increased exertions. Washington Union, Dec. •!•. lliapter ou ''Shells,*' tiy Gov. Wise. Among those gentlemen who sent letteis to the recent National Democratic demonstration in the citv of X. York, was the Hon. Henry A. V\ is- 1 , of V irginia. His letter is quite long, being a commentary upon the politics of the day: but we extract from it ttiat portion which treats ol "Shells," a scientific handling of the subject which cannot fail to amuse while it in structs also. Mr. Wise says: "You must not wonder that your Democratic friends in \ irginia are oiten confused by names and things in New York. We wish to see a united Democracy there on the old grounds of Jefferson and Jackson. We hear of Hard, and Soft, and Half-Shells, and the ideas we f>rm of them can be best illustialed by a subject of nat ural history. We have in our waters gentle men, a crustaceous animal called a crab—a sea fish—with tins and claws at both ends, hut can run either end foremost. Poke at him this way and he runs that, that way and he runs this.— He is remarkable, gentlemen, for his claw, and his shell is hard, very hard—hart! enough for barnacles to grow upon his back—and it will not separate or be detached from the inner cut icle. In that state he. is the Hard Crab proper. At another time, catch him and crack his claw —when he is hard be sure to crack his claw, gentlemen—and you will find that, though his outer shell is still very hard, yet it will separate and can be detached from the inner cuticle or film over the muscles. He is then called the 'Peeler,' peeling his shell. Later, catch him and you need not crack his claw to see what he is, for his outer shell is then opening at every suture, aitd the crab is swelling out of its Hard and taking upon itself its Soft shell. In that state lie is called a 'Buster' bursting his shell.— And as -Peeler' or 'Buster' he is very fat, and a bait fit to catch the very 'monarchs of the deep' with. Later slili, he has slipped out of his hard shell, by a sort of peristalii motion, and kit it along the strand, and has become wholly a soft crab. In that state lie is good bait too, and is preyed upon by hard crabs and other fish es, and he is inert and can hardly crawl out of harm's way. Then, again, this same crab, gentlemen, be gins to harden from soft to hard again, as he hail before softened from hard to soft. Found in this his second intermediate state, lie has become poor but more active, is not so good bait, antf he is called a 'Buckram,' for that he is so like the fabric of that name, and his shell is then flexible like vellum. So that you see we have an idea of some Hards who are 'Peelers,' tending to Soft, and of some Softs who are 'Buckrams,' tending to Hards. And there is such a Hardening to Solt, and such a Softening to Hard that we can not distinguish the politicians of New-York as we do the crabs—sometimes hv sight, sometimes by touch, and sometimes by cracking their claws. But this Ido say, that 1 think I can see you are Democrats: that I can distinguish you, unmistakably, by the platform ol principle you have put forth : and I am anxious and ready to stand by and with and fur any portion of the Democracy of New-York who will imite on the platform ot civil and religious liberty, as defined by the CotishJUiti.in and bills of rights of our State and Federal Governments, and as defen ded by our State sovereignties and our Federal Union. 1 cannot and will not unite with any Wilmot proviso, with any dark laptern, or with any sumptuary law paity." HOW THE Slli-TBEASIBV WORKS. The Boston Post says : "It is said that Mr. Guthrie has effected all tlie tiansport of specie necessary for the opera tions o(Jhe government during the past year, no! only without expense to his department, but under arrangements which have yielded a projit of $10,000! What an outcry was made against the subtreasury on account of the im mense expense the 'carting of specie' would cost!" BSfThe democrats of Savannah still maintain their supremacy, notwithstanding the persistent eflbrts of know-nothingism. The Savannah Georgian of last Tuesday says: "The municipal election yesterday passed oft" in the most quiet and orderly manner. .Noth ing occurred to mar the propriety of thefocca sion, and the best feeling prevailed on all sides. The lateness of the hour at which we write nec essarily confines us to the announcement of the result. Mr. Anderson has again been re-elect ed by a majority of twenty-four over Dr. Scre ven. Of the board o( aldermen ten are demo crats. We congratulate our worthy mayor up on his re-election, as well as the rest of the suc cessful candidates. VV'e have just cause also to congratulate the democratic party upon their majority in the board." [tp-The democrats of Carroll county, Ar kansas, have elected their candidate for sheriff by an overwhelming majority over his know nothing competitor. This looks significant for the campaign of 1 Sod. Murderous Assault. Constable Thomas M'Coy, of the Sixth Ward, was very dangerously stabbed on Wednesday allernoon, in a house of bad repute on Washing ton street, at the head of the steps, by a noto rious rowdy named William Caughey. Con flicting rumors are afloat with regard to the ori gin of the matter, but so far as we have ascer tained, the facts as given below are correct. It was rumored throughout the city that M'Coy was killed, but we are happy to state that his wounds, although ot a dangerous character, will possibly not result fatally. M'Coy was passing down Washington street, and when near the head of the steps he heard loud words in a small frame house near by.— He went into the house to tjuell the disturbance, and to arrest, if he found him there, a man named John Cross, for whom a warrant had been issued by Alderman Heisley for assault and battery, on oath of his wife, Elizabeth Cross.— M'Coy went in, and finding Cross theie, at tempted to take him into custodv, but a fellow named \\ m. Caughey, who was intoxicated, came at liim with a small pocket knife, and be gan to cut him wherever and whenever he could. M'Coy resisted him, but the despeiado ! inflicted so many wounds that M'Coy at length fell upon the bed, insensible. Caughey then j left the house, and went down Prospect towards j Fountain street. Aid. Donalson happened to be on Washing • ton street at the time, and learning the state of I affairs he hastened up to the otiice of Aid Major, j who accompanied him to the house. The l>y j standers pointed Caughev out. He was then i walking towards Seventh street. They lollow jed him. Aid Major walked up to him and I threw his arms around him, ordering him to drop his knife. On his way to the jail he con fessed he stabbed M'Cov, but said he did it in self-defence, and that M'Coy struck him lu ice with a chair before he harmed him. He had a contusion on his forehead which he said he re ceived. Or. Floyd was called in to dress M'Cov's wounds. On examination, he found his whole body literally covered with gashes-. It was very fortunate that the blade was a short one, or death would have followed instantly.— He teceivod nearly twenty different cuts, the most serious of which are on the left side of his abdomen, being some three or four inches long, but not very deep. His left arm received four terrible gashes. His back is covered with small cuts, and under his left shoulder there is a stab j three inches long. M'Coy was covered with blood—the wounds all bleeding profusely.— j Caughey was also red with M'Coy's blood when j taken to jail.— Pittsburg Union. j WISCONSIN ELECTION.— It is stated in the j Abolition papers that at the late election in ; Wisconsin there was a complete fusion ol the Know-Nothings with the Black Republicans, j The result, so far as Governor is concerned, is j still in doubt. The vote is so very close that theolficial returns alone can decide the contest. If the Fusion ists win, it will make an aggregate iof three States which they have carried this j year, all ofthem by largely-diminished majorities | compared with the vote of last year. The Fu sioni.-ts will have the Senate, and the Demo crats the lower house.

W. W. CAMPBELL, Principal. Tlie Ist Session of the 3th school year of this In stitution will open on Monday morning the 3d clay of September. The past history of the Academy will, we trust, be a sufficient guaranty of its future efficiency. The branches taught will be the same as heretofore. To master rtiixcirt.ES will be consid ered the most important pursuit of the pupils; and while it will be the constant business of the Instruc tor to impart knowledge, it will also be bis aim to lead his pupils to make a practical application of their acquisitions. To load the mind with innumer able formulas, without causing it to use them, would be like placing a tiow in a child's band, without teaching him bow to bend it. In fine, it shall be our object, as it has ever been, to lead the pupil to TIIINK. N. B. Instruction in Book Keeping in all its bran ches, both Single and Double Entry will be given by the Principal. The Class in this study will be soar-' ranged that any young men desiring to pursue this important branch in order to prepare themselves for clerkships ran rerin in it alone. This recitation will receive attention out of the regular school hours, j Instruction in this branch will be extra and so charg- i ed. We look forward confidently to the patronage of j this community, which has thus far been so gener- ! ously extended, and by an undiminished assiduity, we hope to merit your support.
