PEXXSVLV AXI V LKGISLAT FR K. THE IJIOR BILL. DEBATE LV THE SEMITE. Senate Bill No. 7, to repeal the Jug Law, ajsiii came up in older, pending: the amend ment ul Mr. Browne. Mr. INGRAM resinned and concluded his remarks in opposition to the amendment.— He condemned the amendment on the general ground that it was proposed by those who ;.iteii,jted to foist an entire prohibitory law ttpifi lie* people, and enacted the present Jaw. which I lie people condemned. Mr. WELSH followed on the same side. He reganlrd (lie (jiiestioii as a very important one, the iiat important that had ever claim ed lht' attention !o the Legislature. He then fwo'ded to ijis.' [)is views at length in oppo stian to the amendment. He said it had been charged that those who advocate the repeal of 'he Jug Law, did so from a desire for popular apfdause, and to gain tile favor of the Liqnour L-agtie. He repelled llie charge so far as it applied to him. He advocated the repeal ftlut law because it was unjust and inloley -B'and from a sense of duly to his const it u "!!?, who asked for its repeal. He would have pr-ferred to vote fur a direct rep.-al of that law, and leave the question of License for after con > "-ration. He reviewed the various features kfihe amendment, and pointed out what he '-girded as its defects. The minimum price ell "" license was too high for the rutal districts. He Ejected to it also, because it made a viola ' nol the low a criminal offence, and punish ed it by imprisonment and disgrace. Also, that encouraged informers. Another objection "3',that it did not really repeal the jug law, mtfmly such portions of it as were incon.sis '"n! with the present bill. He v anted to see " jug law repealed—wiped off the statute V.

WJLKI.NS replied to the remarks gen erally of the Senators on tlie other side of the question. lit discussing the repeal of the pre sent law, he said they were off fhe question. They were wide off the mark. The question was not shall that law he repealed. That was admitted. Indeed, the people had virtually re pealed it before the Legislature met, and senatois now knocked under. The question uas a qnes tion ol liiense. It was useless to speak any more of the law of 1855. It is buried, and ail join in the requiem to he sung over iis remains. It is admitted they must adopt a system of li cense, and the question is how shall that system be regulated? The discussion of the question was resumed in the afternoon, when the first section of Mr. Brown's bill was passsed, Yeas iff, nays 13, so ' Mr. VVilkins' hill fell. Mr. Jordan votid yea. The first section reads as follows : That from and after the passage of this acf, it shall he unlawful to keep and maintain any house, room, or place, where vinous, spirituous, malt, or brewed liquors, or any admixtures thereof, are sold or drank, except as hereinaf ter provided. The second secfinn was then adopted hv the same vote, Mr. Jordan voting yea. It is as fol lows: That no license hereafter issued In any ven ders of vinous, spirituous, malt, or brewed li-: qttors, or any admixtures thereof, either with 1 or without oilier goods, wtr-'s, arid inerchan- ■ dize, shall authorize sales of said liquors or anv I admixtures thereof, in less quantities than ONE GALLON, except as hereinafter provided; nm- I shall any license for the said sales in anv quan- ; lily he granted to the keeper of anv restaurant, ealing-hnuse, oyster house or cellar, theatre or I other place of amusement or refreshment.

Mr. Buckalew moved to strike out "gallon" and 1 insert "quart," so as to authorize venders to sell as low as a quart. Negatived, yeas 15, na\s 17, Mr. Jordan voting nay. Section 7. requires tavern keepers to give 1 three weeks notice in a newspaper, with a pro viso that for the present year, licenses may be j granted at the third or anv prior sess:on of tlie court. The Bth section was then agreed to, which relates principally to publication ot iulrniiou. 1 Mr. Buckalew t rietly opposed this section, on I the ground that it was too complicated and in- ' convenient to the people to comply with. He j regarded it us a calamity and a disgrace that ' laws should be put upon our statute book that ' were not regarded by the people.

Charles Porter, brakeinati on the train bound j west, was standing on the fiont end of the first ; passenger-car breaking at the moment of the) collision. Both of his legs were crushed from j his ankles to his thighs, and his injuries are so dreadful that it seems impossible that he should j recover. There was a corpse of a lady i" this car, sent from Beloit, and on its way to some place in Ohio. This was considerably burned, and was at first supposed to be the body of a person who j had perished with the rest —hence the statement j that four persons were killed. The wounded were all taken to the exchange, j at Hillsdale, as soon after the accident as possi- ! ble. Some six or seven physicians were called,' atul everything possible was done to relieve tlie sufferers. All the pnssengprs in the second class car on eastern train were more or less scratched and bruised, though none were very seriously hurt. One man was thrown upon the stove, and had his (ace considerably burned. Some of the passengers on the train also suf fered from bruises and contusions.

A". P. Willis. ' 1 Oft when ploughing the mighty deep, I've beheld his grandeur in the placid ruiiling of the waves—in the gentle breeze of Heaven that nailed rue to a far off clime—in the furyofthe tempest—in loud sounding hursts of thunder, a mid flashes of lightning—av! at a time when fancy pictured to my imagination the jewelry of tfie ocean as my tonib, and my dirge the i eternal fnusic ol its roar. Then again I've view ed it in the abatement of the storm—in the ceasing ot His anger—in the renovated splendor ol the sky —in the returning brilliancy of the stars—fit the unparalleled beauty of the lumin ary of night, and in the tranquility of the winds. Reader dost thou think that man can adequa tely portray the grandeur of his Maker? Dost thou suppose that he can dilate on that which is ; beyond tlie ken of mortality ! The student in the solitude of his little chamber, may trim and I replenish his midnight lamp, and out watch the slow-paced eve: the [Oet mav call in requisition Ids breathing thoughts, and array them in all the powerful garb of burning eloquence; the ! orator may summon to his aid the force of that mighty mind with which He iiasendowed him; the h-arned divine, in the hallowed temple, may | extend his hands, uplilt his eyes, and bend his knees in accents of thanksgiving and of praise. : But 'tis all in vain to directly discuss a theme, ' which is ei/l infinitum, sublime and magnificent. ni Cod !

Hers? stealing, j A man named JOHN RI-TTKI:, is confined in : the jail i,j Allegheny Countv, Iroin Cieensbnrg, i Westmoreland County, Pa., charged with steal j nig horses, lie fas made some startling devej ; opments to the editor of the Pittsburg (luzetle, from which it appears that these rascals have j been operating in Blair County extensively.— i statement is as follows; I Our readers are probably aware that a man named John Rotter is now lying in our county .fail on a commitment from Greensburg fur horse stealing, a lioise stolen from that place being j traced to bis possession in Luzerne county.— An uncle of his, named Gamble, residing in Indiana, visited him a day or two since and succeeded in getting a version of his misdoings from him, containing information that will h ad to the detection ot the individual who fired a sawmill belonging to him (Gamble.) We spent an our in Roller's cell, yesterday ! morning, when after announcing his determi nation to abandon his lawless course ol life, he repealed in substance, the admissions made to his uncle, gives us the names of every person connected with him, and residence. These names for an obvious reason, we with-hold for the present. The prisoner, John Rutter, was brought up in Indiana county, but in lSbl, having a diffi culty with his family, went to board at a house in the neighborhood. There thiee men made proposals to him to enter into a horsestealing gang, and held out such inducements to him as procured his consent to become a member. The plans were then fully laid open to him. The main object was to steal horses, rob houses, and steal in any other manner and way in which they could make anything. They had station houses at different points where the goods and horses in their jwssession were deposited and purchased by their agents. The keepers ol these station houses, were to spot out particular woik, each agent to have the privilege of bu}-- ing that mark, t out by himself. Every mem ber was to aid each other in all difficulties, the agents were to enter bail whenever any of file gang was under arrest ; and, in short, a com plete system was in operation. 'I fuse agents ff spotted out property, in the capacity of Dro e vers, this disguise giving them greater advaistu it ges. The horses delivered to the agents, the lat ter paid SSO a head : for other property in sim - ilar proportion. Rutter thpn proceeded to give e us tiie names of the gang and of the station keejj - ers ; but, as we said above, we do not publish i, them. Of these, one resides in Luzerne county ; s eight in Chemung county, New York: four in , Tioga county, four in Indiana county : three on I tlie mountains and two in Blair county. Twct j - of the Tioga county men had been in the state's ! I prison for horsestealing and passing counterfeit j j money. One of the Blair county men is a merchant in respectable standing, and possesses , aw ealth. He is one of the piiocipal buyers.— : - He and the other was concerned in tJje* defraud- ' - ing of a Philadelphia Company of a large quan tity of goods several years ago. When a horse was spotted, one or two of the gang would proceed to the place and steal it.— If there was no station house near, they would ; go to fhe woods, steal food for their horses and rob spring houses for their own substance. As they made no stay in anv place fiwv very read ily got off large amounts of counterfeit money u ithont detection. Having rea< heii the station I bouse from whence they started, they disposed j of their horses to the keeper thereof lor SSO a head. Among the transactions of ihe gang, Rutter ! ! says that last year a store in Fraiikstowu was ' ; robbed of a large quantity of broadcloths.— Seven wehbs went to him, which he sold to the j ■ Indiana Agent : some of it is in the possession ■ of the latter yet. The statement of the Editor is continued at some greater length, showing additional robber -1 ies on the part of this gang of thieves who are i . prowling about the country. Tin: SNOW. — Prof. Charles G. Page thus dis courses of the snow and its benefits: The snow was proverbially called the "poor i farmer's manuie" befoie scientific analysis had ; shown that it contained a larger per centageof ; ammonia than rain. Tiie snow serves as a pro tecting mantle to the tender herbage and the j roots of all plants against the fierce blast and cold of w inter. An examination of snow' in Siberia showed that when the temperature oi l the air was 72 degrees below zero the temper ature of the snow a little below the surface was : 29 degrees above zero, over 100 degrees differ- ; ence. The snow keeps the earth just below its surface in a condition to take on chemical j changes which would nut-happen if the earth were hare and frozen to a great deplh. The scow prevents exhalations from the earth, and is a powerful absorbent, retaining and return- ; ing to ihe earth gases arising fioni vegetable and animal decomposition. The snow, though it lalfs heavily at the door of the poor, and brings death and starvation to the fowls of the air ami beasts of the field, is yet of incalculable benefit in a climate like ours, and especially at this time, when the deep springs of the earth were failing atui the mill streams were refusing their motive powers to the craving appetites of"man. j 1 f, during the last month, the clouds hail drop ped rain instead of snow we might ha ve pump ed and hored the earth ir. vain for water; but j with a foot of snow upon the earth and rr.ariv i feet upon the mountains, the hum of the mill stones arid the harsh notes of the saw n ill will soon and long testily its beneficence. Bridges, earthworks, and the fruits of engineering skill and toil may be swept away, but man will still rejoice in the general good and adore the be nevolence of Him who orders al! tilings aiiglit. The snow is a gnat purifier, of the atmosphere. The absorbent power orcapillinrv action of' snow is like that of a sponge or charcoal. Im mediately after snow/ has fallen melt it in a c!"an vessel and taste it and you will find im mediately evidences of its impurity. Try some a dav or two old ant! it becomes nauseous, <- pecially in cities. Snow water makes the mouth harsh and dry. It has the same effect upon the skin, and upon the bands and feet produces the painful malady of chilblains. In Alpine countries snow water lias been thought to be productixe of the disease called guitre.— The following easy experiment illustrates beau- I tifully the absorbent propeity of snow : Take a lump of snow (apiece of snow crust answers well) of three or four inches in length and hold it in the flan.e of a lamp, i.ot a drop of water will fall from the snow, but the water, as fast as formed, will penetrate or be drown up into tlie mass of snow hv capiliary attraction. It is hv I virtue of this attraction that the snow purifies ' the atmosphere by absorbing and retaining its ' noxious and noiesome gases and odors. Armbrusicr the Murderer. The execution of'the wretched man, Jacob - Arinbroster, for the murderofhis wife, will take i jilace within the jail wails in-this borough, on t Friday next. The gallows is already construe- t ted, has been tried, and works to perfection.— t A lie i the trial it was taken down, and will b* I erected in tlie jail yard a day or two previous , i to the execution. Yesterday morning, Sheriff* . Fellman received a letter from Governor Pol- f lock, stating that he had carefully examined the j 1 papers and documents forwarded to him solici- j i ting the intervention of executive clemency in \ behalf of Armbrnster, and h"ing unable to dis-1 i cover anv reason whv a pardon should be gran- ' ( ted, lie hut thought it a duty that the miserable j man should be speedily made acquainted with c his determination, and admonished to prepare t for the terrible scene so near at hand. Accoi- s dinglv, tlie Sheriff', accompanied by his Deputy ? and John P. Rogers, proceeded to Armbruster's s cell ; and the Sheriff'informed him of his having | the letter, and that the Governor refused to par- j don him. He at once broke out into a violent fit of passion, pacing the length of his chain in a fury of excitement and making use of the most ! | blasphemous expressions—he dared and d< tied the Sheriff to'even attempt hanging him, atul gave vent to the most intemperate abuse of all I 1 those connected with his trial and conviction. ! i TI3RJS*, sri FS:i4 YEAR.

Previous to the assembling of Congress, the Know-Nothing papers crownd lustily over the fact that (lie lluntlinites haJ over two-thirds of the members of the House of Representatives. We were reminded, time and again, that the i Democrats i.ad but 75 members of the 234 j elected, and that Sam would have things his j own way, and convince us that "Americans shall rule America." Well, it took them up wards of two months to organize, during which j time they recklessly squandered §310,000 of i tlie Peoples' money. So great an outrage and | farce was never piacticed in this or any other country upon the face of the eaith. The peo ple of the United States are a patient people, i and, generally speaking, are lenient almost to a fault with their public servants, but in the pre sent instance their patience has become ex hausted, and they long ji>r an opportunity to ; wreak their vengeance upon the plunderers who compose the majority of the National House of Representatives. How well satisfied should the people now be that they committed an iirepaiable and egre ! gious error when they cast their votes for the Know-Nothing candidates for Congress ? A severe lesson, it is held by some, is necessary at times, merely to remind the people of their own dntv. This may be true, but the present infliction is a little too severe— a little too hu miliating, degrading and expensive. It should last tlie people lor half a century 1 , and teach them not to trust or place reliance in those who are utterly unprincipled, selfish and dis honest. This is the tirst opportunity that in j tidel Knovv-N'othingism has had to "rule" in the national metropolis, and we feel satisfied it will he the last. The corrupt factions appear determined to "rule" hundreds of thousands of dollars out of ihe public treasury, for which they render no service, good or had. They de serve to he drummed out of Washington, to the tune of the "Rogue's March ;" and we think il the President of the United States should turn them out of doors, neck and heels, and lock up the hail of the House, and bid the members begone, as OLIVER CROMWELL did a similar body, lie would be doing a service to the people and receive their thanks. Last w inter the Know-Nothings had a larg" majority in the Legislature of this Stale, anil put in about half their time in an unsuccessful attempt to elect a United States Senator, and in appointing investigating committees to as certain how mane Know-Nothing members had received bribes from those who aspired to tlie Senaforship. No wonder that the people, by common consent, spoke of the body as the "Robber Legislature," for a more dishorn st set of knaves and denaagogc.es never assembled at the State capitol. The indignant vuice of the people swept nearly every man of them from his seat ar the following election, and sound Democrats and honest men were elected in their stead. So will it be when the election- for members of Congress again takes place—every K.

Our Relations Willi tircat Britain. Th Washington correspondent of the North American savs that Mr. Buchanan's letters, re ceived bv the Arabia, represent the feeling in the British ministry as being very sensitive on the subject of our relations. He had received the request for Mr. (Tampion's recall fourteen hours before 'fie sailing of the steamer, but had not presented it up to that time. Of course, therefore, no intelligence !.;s been received of tl.e effect it produced. Mr. Buchanan was in ior.ned, however, before the positive demand was despatched, of the course the administration vvonh probably adopt in regard to the enlist ment question, and doubtless had sounded Lord Clarendon on the subject; hence his misgivings. Mr. Buchanan thinks there is reasonable ground to expect that peace will he made on the basis of 'he proposi'ions submitted to Rus sia, but our Ministers at other courts do net ex press tlie same confidence or hope.—They con sider the present position of Russia as assumed by her in order to enable her to complete her preparations. ftTNfohn B.
