The election of Mr. Pennington as Speaker of the Lower House of Congress, is a moral victory over "Republicanism," which will prove the fore-tunner of aTVaterioo defeat of the enemies of Democracy in 1860. The "Republican" members of Congress had nomina ted Mr. Sherman as their first, last an i only candidate, the New York Tribune had applied the lash of party drill to elect that candidate and its motto was, "Sherman forever !" and Thaddeus Stevens had proclaimed that the Speaker must be Sherman, or nobody, and that he would vote for the Helper nominee till th" crack of doom. But all this swaggering and threatening could not drive the moderate and conservative members frr>m their position. The "Republicans" were driven from Sherman, they were compelled to abandon him and to cast their vote for a man who repudiates and despises their leading dogma. Thu3 has na tionality triumphed over sectionalism. Thus is the treason of the Helperites rebuked. THE TRAITOR KEWARDED. JOHN VV. FORNEY, the blackest and foulest traitor that ever apostatised from the Demo cratic party, has just received the thirty pieces of silver for which he agreed, two years ago, to sell out the party that nursed him and raised him to a position of respectability. People can now see why it was that Mr. Forney has been so persistent in his slanderous abuse of a Dem ocratic President. His vilifications of Mr.! Buchanan, was the price he was required to pay to the Black Republicans for the Clerkship to Congress, to which lie has just been elected by bis newly found friends. This places Mr. Forney clearly and incontrovertibly in the ranks of the Opposition. We hope he may > stay there, never to return. B3r*H. W. Hoffman, of Cumberland, ML, has been elected Sergeant at Armsto the House of Representatives at Washington. HF*The coldest day we had in Bedford in the month of January, was on the firsts v The ther mometer was four degrees at sever, o'clock in the morning : ten above, at two o'- clock p. m. and four above at nine in the even ing; making the mean temperature of the day, three degrees and thirty three hundredths of a dezrpe. We had twelve inches of snow, ail put together during the month and two and thir ty two hundredths cubic inches of water, in the form of rain, snow and sleet. The County Institute- The last meeting ot this association was a very pleasant one, and also profitable to those who attended its meetings. About the one half of our teachers appear to have no ambition to learn to teach ; but to teach to learn and !) make the'school-house their school-master ; and they seem aiso to act as it the Institute were only for the teachers who are perf-ct in their profession, and those who are a little behind, had better stay awav, least hey be called upon to participate ; and consequently lhey absent themselves. Every teacher who is ashamed to improve himself in htsjprnfession, had better absent him self from the school-house too, in the capacity of a teacher, but attend in the capacity of a scholiar ;. for as teacher he will "kill up" a school, but as a scholiar he may fill up a school; and though he may nut be able to communi cate, yet he may receive something, even should the reception! he lower than the head. AH who turn a cold side to the means of their own improvement cannot be ruled out of the Teacher's ranks any 100 soon. The Institute was gotten up f>r mutual im provement, and all, ceitamly, should embrace the most favorable opportunity of meeting will their tellow teachers in conference, when each one can add to his knowledge from the rich ex perience of the others ; especially the younger portion, who have little or r.o experience of their own and who, peihaps, have never read a single bcok on the eubjet of teaching, in neighboring counties, every t- acher feels bound to attend the Institute, in our own every t ach'-r feels at liberty not to attend. Should it b-? ily good fortune to serve as county Superintendent another term, I will issue certificates to ::o l< : - chers who are unwilling to spend a da- or t.. o in consulting with his fellow teachers how tc advance the best interests of the schooßoth the county and also th- township institute, have already done very much a\ this respect, and should be properly kept op. Those twenty five or thirty teachers in at tendance at the lad meeting, certainly deserve credit for their interest and energy, and it may he a few others also u hose hearts are in tbt work, but were providentially prevented in at tending : but, certainly, the resolution respect ing "Live teachers" appended, to an abstract ol the minutes, which were published in the last week's paper reflects discredit upon the "Not live teachers."

U e clip the following excellent remark from !he Washington Stales and Union, of the 2d mst. It gives us great pleasure to see ruch sen'i ments so universally prevailing throughout the rntue Democratic party, North and South, East, and U est. flie indications are in favor of u nion in our ranks, and with a united party we can have no fears of the result next Fall. " The States and Union disagreed with the Adminis ration on the Lecompton question—and Doc tors will disagree sometimes hut is now willing ;o forget all past differences and labor for the of our whole party. This is the spirit 0 f ■very Democrat, and we hope no oilier may be tllowed to creep in among us. Oblivion to dissensions in the Democracy, we rust, is th= generous sentiment of every true T.emher of the party at this joyous season. Let is unite cordially, fraternally, lesolutely, fo: he eventful combat of the 15th of November, liven thus united, • cV.a'.V '..ev.-u ice to meet whose numbers may vastly exceed our own.— We shall be an easy prey enless we summon to our aid all the strength that we can command. If we decline to do this, it is worse than non sense for us to meet in convention at Charleston. Trial of Steele us. THE TRIAL CONCLUDED —VERDICT OF THE JLRV. CHAULESTOWN, Feb. 4.—The ttial of An drew Stephens, charged with treas in, murder and conspiracy, was concluded to day. No new evidence was adduced. The speeches of the counsel w ere mostly of a political character, discussing the present posi tion of the question between the North and South. Tlie Commonwealth made a proposition to submit the case without argument, but it was declined hv the counsel for the defence, who desired to be heard for his client. Mr. Harding mad-* the opening argument.— lie denounced as a falsehood and a libel the assertion of Brown that he was to receive aid from the laboring classes at Harper's Ferry.— He claimed that they were true to the Con stitution and tlie State of Virginia, and referred to their action in assisting to queil the invasion as a proof of their fidelity. He concluded with an earnest appeal to the jury to vindicate the law, styling the prisoner a bloodthirsty villain and wretch, and worse even than his master, John Brown. Mr. Sennet (or the defence made an able and eloquent speech, going into a detailed narrative of the rise and progress of the Republican party, and closing with an earnest appeal fo the jury "to spare the life of tb<* prisoner. Mr. Andrew Hunter closed on the part of the Commonwealth. He replied to the argu ments of that counsel for tlie defence with tell ing cJect. H ■ had no confidence in the Union meetings whicit had been held in the North.— He believed that this a:i of John Brown had hef-n a benefit to tlie South, as it had shown them the position in which they were placed. He referred to .Mr. Hickman's boast of the eighteen millions of freemen of the North, and declared the South was prepared for any emergency. The was submitted to the jury at 4 o'- clock this [Saturday] afternoon, they retired, an ! alt -r fifteen minutes absence, returned with a verdict cfguil'y on all the counts of the indictment. T.V prisoner received the verdict with most perf ct indifference, and even a_ ptared to smile at the announcement. [;T*G;>v. SAMUEL W. BLACK, of .Nebraska, has, v ry properly, vetoed a bill passed by ! le Legislature of that Territory'for the sboliiii.-j of si a very therein. It is an agreed point, wi j h ali Democrats, that Congress has no power to abolish slavery in a Territory; o fortiori, a a Territorial Legislature has not the power, be cause : t derives ail its powers fiotn Congress. Gov. BLACK'S veto has excited the ire of tlie Pittsburgh editors, the Standard, of this place, and, in fact, ail the Black Republican papers that have noticed tlie subject. Gov. BLACK needs no better proof that lie is right than the opposition of Black Republicans. If he could secure the favor of the Abolition county of Al legheny, we would certainly think there was "something rotten in Denmark."

The Iffy fur ther find that fire originating alter th> fall of said mill was caused by the accijenta! freaking ola lantern in the hands of some person to 4 t hem unknown, and at the time actually engaged m aiding and removing the sufferers lhe alive and beneath the ruins of the mill. They also tinci that tiie causes of thedemoiition|oftne mill lay iti the thinness of the brick wails and their manner of construction, an i in the length of space from one support to another. For Trie de tects in the cast-iron supports, the jury find that the responsibility rests upon Albert Fuller, former constructing agent and foreman of the Eagle Iron Company in West Boston. Grtarles L. Bigelow, the architect, and the superinten dent, are held responsible for the lest of 'he pillars and for any defects in the building. From the Yew )oik Journal of Commaee. Feb. 3.

JUSE TOTALLY DESTROYED—ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE SUPPOSED TO BE BURNT TO DEATH BETWEEN TWENTY-FIVE AND THIRTY BODIES BURNT AND INJURED About twenty minutes past 7 o'clock last e vening, the Fourteenth Ward was the sci**" .*N one nt the ■••• aisa,u „- J tfla. has rUited our city mr n long time, and which his been attended with great loss of life. The fire originated in the tenement house No, 112 Elm street, near Grand, occupied bv twenty families, about one Hundred persons in all. It was first discovered in the basement, oc cupied by a baker, who had .a store or. the first door. Like lightning almost, the fire spread so rapidly that in less than five minutes the stairway leading to the upper floors and hail way were one mass of flames. There were supposed to have been about sixty or seventy persons, men, women and chii Jren, in (lie buil ding at tiie ti.ne, and the only mean? of escape bang by the stair way,the loss of life must, there fore, be more serious than it was supposed at first. The escape of many by jumping out of the upper windows, and their re-saw by the firemen shows that ali communication w d s cut off with tiie lower portion ot tiie building. Several were seen on tlie root of tiie building, and tiie crws ot those within could be heard for some time alter tiie flames had reached the up per stories. One woman was observed at one of the upper windows, beseeching some one to com-* to hur rescue, but in a short time she dis appeared. and that was the last seen of her. Sergt. Armount succeeded iu rescuing a little girl, and, in coming out, fell over the bo iy ot a woman lying in the hall. A woman whose name could not be ascertained, jumped from the roofofihehou.se info the alley-way, and was picked up in a dying condition. As sooa as the firemen reached the scene of conflagration,, they worked nobly to rescue (lie lives of those in the building. Great credit is due to them, as thev rescued no less than from twenty to thirty wo men and children. The immense height of the building was such, that for some time it was found imprudent for the firemen to go within, but many regardless ol the danger, entered, and through their efforts rescued many. The burnt and injured were carried to the drug store opposite, and to the stores in toe neighborhood, where their wounds were dressed. Some were taken to the Hospital and others to the residences id some of their friends. Drtec : tive O'Keel- succeeded i.i saving the lives of a j women and four children. The fire burnt un | ill near eleven o'clock befire it was got under, j Several of the adjoining buildings were dama j ged by fire and water. File building, worth about $*10,00'), was ■ owned by Eiward Hiring, and was damaged tu j the extent of about SS,OOO ; fully insured. The | loss offurniture amounts to about $3,000. A j two story frame building, No. Ml Elm street, j was considerably damaged. Matbew Lynch j occupied the uppr part, and John Brown oc ; cupied the lower part. Their aggregate loss is j about s.>oo not insured. The building owned ; by Mr. Brown was damaged about SSOO insured, Mr. Brown occupied a lrame building in the rear as a carpenter shop, and it was damaged a bout SSOO not insured. The two story frame building No. 146 Elm street, occupitrl as a dwelling by \V. B. Near, was damaged about S2OO. The two and a half story brick buil ding occupied as dwelling by several iamiliei was badly burned. The aggregate loss on the two buildings is about $3,000 partially insured A large building on the street, occupied as a white lead factory was on fire several times, but the flames were speedily extinguished by the j firemen beiore they could gain any headway, j A bout I' 2 o'clock the wall fell in, and the firemen, with the aid ,of some workmen, went to work removing the rubbish. They, howev er, were unable to do anv good, owing to the heated brick, and further work was dispensed with notil this morning. Explosion fa Rrooklyu Blat Factory.

T., Feb. 3.— The Over land Express, with Denver City dales to the —titin ult., and $3,000 in go! i dust, at rived here at noon. It was the prevailing opinion that the mines would yield irorn one to two millions worth of gold alter the opening ofspring. The yield last season was about two millions (?) The weather continued pleasant at the mines until the day before the Express left, when the now fell tu the depth of a io r >t along lite Plat te river.

Baldwin school teacher in the German district of Board man township, was broug.it before Justice 11 -n - cy, on Thursday last, charged with willfully and brutally beating a young woman ol some eighteen summers, without just cause or reason. From the testimony elicted in the case, we Ic-nrn the circumstances to be as follows : On j Friday, the 14th irst., the young lady, some ; time during school hours, desired of the teacher ; leave of absence for a. ,>bort time, averring it ex- j tremely necessary that she should go home at j that time. Fhe teacher demanded an excuse, j which the young lady refused to give, further than that it was absolutely necessary. The ; teacher relosed.and the young lady, knowing her own business probably better than the wise ! teacher, went home without his consent. Dl- ! ring the course of the day she returned, and up on entering the school room was immediately accosted by the teacher for an excuse of absence which she as before refused ; whereupon the : teacher drew forth a heavy gad, (we say gad, because it so much resembled an ox-gad in di mensions, and form that we cannot properly apply to it any other nanm,} and at once fell to work and beat her until the gad was broken to pieces : 'and, not being satisfied With this, struck her once or twice in the face with his fist or bis open hand. The teacher was held to answer at ftouri A WARNING TO YOUNG MEN. —In nearly all the large towns ar.d cities, young men form j themselves into clubs, of various kinds, to i-na- j tile them to pass awav the hours of the long winter evenings socially and pleasantly. They j are, many of them, among strangers, far away ' from the home circle, and the pleasant associa- ' tions which gather around the hearthstone of j their childhood, and they find it difficult to get I into society. Their tune, alter the business j hours of the day are past, drags heavily, and! they are ready to take up with almost anything ! that offers itself in the shape of amusement or; recreation. A club of jolly good fellows has many attractions under tli-se circumstances.— Whilst we would not do anything to curtail the j r-'al enjoyments of the young, especially under j sucli circumstances as we have detailed above, j we would wain them against those which are i injurious to either soul or body. An old merchant related in our hearing, aj few evenings since, his own experience and ob- j servation in regard to this matter. When he i left home to go into business in the city, he felt lonely in the evenings, and longed for compan ionship. He was diffident, and had no influen tial friends to take him by the hand and intro duce him into society. A friend invited him to join a social club. They spent their time in song and jest, eating and drinking a.id general jollity. He kepi a list of ail who belonged to the dub during his connection with it, and has traced their histories since. Oi l'orty-nine, but three now remain, enjoying a green old age. Most of the others went to early graves the victims ol intemperance. Very few of them were ever successful in business, though some of them were young men of fine business rapa city. Our venerable friend thinks the seeds of their] ruin were sown in the club-room, lie said, with great emphasis, had I an iron voice which I could ring through our whoie country 1 would say to every young man, beware ol the chili-room, and especially tin* room of a drink ing club. Many a young man is ruined there before lie is aware of his danger. PRESBYTE RIAN HERALD. LAST Saturday the graining mill of the Orange Powder Works ol Rand to Smith, situa ted about three milts from Newburg, N. Y., ex ploded, destroying the building, and killing Simmerman, who was at the time in front of the mill, with a wheelbarrow of powder. The body of the unfortunate man was thrown a great distance trorn the mill, where it was lound entirely lifeless. The walls of the buil ding were entirely demolished, and timbers and machinery were thrown hundred, of feet. The windows ol the dwelling houses in the vicinity were broken by the concussion. The quantity" of powder destroyed was equal to forty kegs. THE Picayune says a deputation of Kanas Indians, twelve in number, all chiefs, lately arrived at New Orleans and presented them selves before Mayor Smith, and claimed the hospitality of the city. They said they had comedown on a pleasure trip to see the sights of this great place, and as they had heartf he would provide quarters for them during the month. Questioned as to what they they said they would be satisfied with a house to sleep in, with sufficient meat and daily bread, and some whiskey of course. FEMALE FIREMEN.—At a late fire in Leaven worth, Kansas ; says the Times of ihat city, a large number ol ladies turned out to the tanceof the Bremen. Sa'well ditl they work thai the flames were finally subdued, preventing a large and disastrous conflagration. The peo ple of Leavenworth are loud in their noises ot the intrepidity, perseverance and skill of the ladies, and think that on future occasions, should such unhappily, occur, they can rely Uj*>n this new "lire brigade." A PRESENT.—A carving knife and fork are to be presented to the President ot the United States from the manufacturer, Mr. Samuel Bul losa blacksmith, and citizen of the State of Maine. The handles arp made of the horns of a buck, shot by Mr. Builen, and in such a man ner as to make the trunks of the antlers answer for the hafts, the shielu of the fork consisting of one of th" small branches of the antler. Each piece is about twenty inches in length, and the blade ol the knife about an inch and a half wide. A SMALL POX INCIDENT.—Ac eminent physi cian of New York got on hoard one of the city railroad car-a few days since.

Stye did, and lie beheld a most dreadful case vt that foul and dangerous d .-or der. She said she was on iter way to the hospital—her attendant was on the outside. A RICH LOUISIANA PLANTER.— /\ sugar plan tation was purchased in St. James' Parish, Lou isiana, a few days ago by Mr. Buimside, a dry goods merchant ol .New Orleans for §IOO,OOO. This says the New Orleans Delia , is considered a splendid investment, as there are some seven or eight thousand acres in the tmct, and under good management it ought to produce two thou sand hogsheads of sugar. This purchase will swell the investment of Mr. Bu rnsi Je, in sugar culture, to nearly two million,s. His slaves now exceed one thousand. Tnree years ago Mr. B. purchased the magnificent Houmas es tate, with some five hundred sj ives, from Col. John Preston, the cost of which, with additions of slaves and lands, exceeded a million of dol lars. FAST WORK.—Mr. Thomas (JA tnSor. of Read ing, Pa., made in one day last week, ot Si J hour's work, 225 horse shoes, of which number 27 were forged in the first hour.

She calmly j slept away, breathing her last without even a | struggle or moan to indicate the spirit's d-par j ture. She was a very consistent professor of re ligion and member of the R-formed church and departed in the triumph of a living faith in Christ. PASTOR. PHILADELPHIA MARKETS. Saturday P.
