' tSf The Democracy of Cambria held their County Convention on the 9th lust., and succeeded in making a split about equal to that of Baltimore. The Douglas wing of the party had the majority anu they dealt rather unceremoniously with their opponents. Some 15 or 18 of the delegates seceded from the convention. — Those who remained, nominated George Nelson Smith, of the Johnstown Echo, for Assembly, and James Griffin for Register and Recorder. A resolution was offered endorsing the action of the State Central Committee proposing a Union electoral ticket, which was not adopted. Another ■ resolution was offered requiring the candi date for Assembly to give a pledge that if elected be would oppose the repeal of the three mill tonnage tax, which motion was also rejected, The Democrat and Sc7iti nel, a Breckenridge paper, in an editorial on-the Convention says : “ Wf place ourselves in an aotagoniatlaal position to the ticket nominated, and bid defiance to any earthly arm dial would drive us from bur posi tion. ' The Mountaineer and Echo , Douglas papers, support the ticket. The Great Eastern— The troubles of the proprietors of the Great Eastern steamship, now lying at New York, ap pear to be increasing. *lt is reported that the Grand Trunk Railway Company in tend suoing the Directors of the Gteat Eastern for breach of contract. The agreement to bring the ship to the East ern terminus of the Grand Trunk was specific, and on the faith of it the Railway Company made a large Outlay for harbor accommodations at Portland. The coun cil of that city also expended some 860,- 000, and an immense amount of capital was invested by private citizens. The newspapers of Portland and Canada are urging the Railroad Company to prosecute. It is reported that the Great Eastern will make an cxcusion trip to Cape May and Philadelphia, in the course of a month or so. Hope the report may prove correct. Bgk.Heenan, the great, arrived in New York on Saturday last, but according to the Tribune, - the reception he received was far from being as grand as was his departure. The fact is, the excite ment occasioned by his late contest in Europe .has died away, and those who would have swelled the throng to meet him at the wharves had he returned' im mediately after his fight with Sayers, would, not now make one of such an :as semblage. The sober, second thought, always gives men.right views of such sub jects, and that which they would do in a moment "of excitement they would feel ashamed to do afterwards., The glory ac quired by Heenan, like all glories of th,e kind, is short-lived. It is right - that it should be so.

Letter from Philadelphia. Philadelphia, July 14th,1860. Messes. Editors;— The city at this season of the year affords very little to interest one in search of material for the press. This -toeing the. season for the annual exodus of that vague ahd inexplicable thing called in fashionable par lance Society, all matters of interest, as well as points of attraction are supposed to be transfer red for the, «once, to and the va rious .watering places of celebrity. The great Japanesl pageant, with its semi-, barbarian costumes and regal paraphernalia, has* passed from our vision, and we contemplate it "now with as little concern as we do the rockets that exploded- to do it honor. The “-Glorious Fourth” too, has paged with its usaal accom paniament of cosud|Kes t fights, explosions and pyrotechnic, displays, i Even the GreatEostern, with its huge proportions moored at a~ point so convenient of access, is already looked upon as an exploded sensation. Everything is flat add stale, and general lethargy pervades everything excepting that veritable institution denominated Society, which is agitated just now from centre to circumference. The season is here when it is .made a forfeiture of caste and an everlas ting disgrace to. be found in .the city. The Smiths and Joneses are making superhuman ejt- porters and cabmen.are dispatching luggage and superintending the embarkation :qf the fashionable birds of passage. The. dust:is fast aciyimalating cn the imposing,fro/ats of now deserted mansions iu the aristocratic localities of the city. | ; The crush of crinoline and flaunt of Brooade have ceased on the promenade and in the fash ionable Churches. Sensation sermons are' ho, longer announced in the trumpet columns of the secular press, such preachers having all gope with their exclusive flocks to air their dignityin' the country, or to wash the dust and-film from, their haughty crests in the briny waves of the old ocean. The thoroagbiares'bf traffic arecon verted into Sleepy Hollows" With any number ofßip Yan Winkles pa the soft tide of stove boxes. The places which were want to the clink of specie, .and the ariu tirnyphraseof cent percent, flstfeboen-traps •• formed into places for the ternal sentiments, and political controversy. There! almost uncon sciously I have beau led into polities, jnst now shconly,absorbing them* with us., Nvery ni|^l«ui^»hi w« » r ® th heUeve the roports*of . those- -.interested,.are held in differentportions of the cityall 1 pre sume, eqnally ardent in the caase. and as equal ly hopeful of success. ; 451 are profusejn prom- Kee, as they are in transparencies; political de vices, and the land dilate of red, whiteand bine firds. Designing demagogues toB- often thus | lead captiye the reason while they appeal-to , passion and excite enthusiasm. « It cannot be disguised that the disruption of < ihe democratio party has given a powerful im pulse to the Bell and Everett' cause. . Thou sands of anti-Douglas mjsn, seeing no chance for the;success of Breckemidge and Lane, will vote Beil and Everett. The knowing ones predict that they will carry almost every 1 Southern State, and tbe prospect of a Union between that party and the Douglas democracy in New York, makes thejdefeat of Lincoln and Hamlin almost a,cer tainty. There are other influences at work which will, tell against the Republican ticket in all conservative. States. It is knowjn that Sew ard 1 was sacrificed at Chicago, iin order to ap pease this conservative sentiment. But the rec ord-of Mr. Lincoln shows him to be more ultra than Seward, without his ability or statesman ship. Indeed Mr. Lincoln first promulgated the doctrine of the “ irrepressible conflict,” the ad vocacy of which so damaged the^fortunes of Mr. Seward.. Besides, Mr. Sumner the author of the lt Sacred Animosity” doctrine, is stumping for the Republicans and distributing bis speech over the country. If we realize but the one thousandth part of the good promised! us by these professional politicians in case they are successful, we will be the happiest people this side of Paradise. * I An agent from the Eastern-has been on here to-ascertain whether the Delaware is navi gable for ships of that capacity, it is therefore provable that the “ Big Ship” will e’re long be moored at our wharves. The weather here thus Air this summer has been pleasant, and excepting a few hot days, has been unusually cool. I confess a strong predi lection for the shady dells and the liibpid Streams of the mountains, and when I inhale the dust kicked up by the passage' of numberless vehicles, it is then that I long for the seclusion of your mountain home, where Heaven’s free air can play with your locks, bathe your fevered brow, and whisper its soothing melody to your spirits, untainted by the devices of men. We haVe much beautiful scenery in the vicinity of i Philadelphia. The Schuylkill; with its green and sometimes rocky bluffs has a charm of ro mantic wildness, which is a favorable! contrast with the low sandy banks of the Delaware.— But mountains in my estimation arc ihdispensi ble to the beauty of a landscape. They bound its perspective, relieve it* monotony, afford landmarks for the eye, and are so potent in their influence on local attachment, that the moun tains we have known in our youth, still fr.om landmarks in the recollections of maiturer years. wiLIIELM.

Msjbv Bdr&lio' Allen, the engineer of the N. Yorlt and Brio Railroad, in a speech rtado du ring the xteent festival/occasion, gave the fallow ing account ef the first'trip made by a locomo -rive on this-Continent: ■ Vnkfii it T-t?:.lWho was it T And who awa kened Its-energiesand directed itimovements? was in ti»o year lB2Bi oa the* banks of the: Lackawaxen, at the commencement of the rail roads connecting the canal of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company with their coal mines— an.d he who addresses you was the only person on that locomotive. The circumstances which Ihd to my Being alone on the engine were these: The road had been built in the summerthe structure was of hemlock timber, and rails of large dimensions notched bn caps placed far apart. The timber had cracked and warped from,, exposure tp the sun. After about 300 feet of straight line, the road crossed*the Lacka ifraxeu Creek, on a trestle-work about 30 feet high, with a curve of 855 to 400 feet radius.— The impression was very general that the iron monster would either break down the road or it would leave the tr||j| at the curve and plunge into the creek. My reply to such apprehensions was that it was too. late to consider the proba bility of such occurrences; there was no other course than to have a trial made of the strange annimal, which had been brought here at great ; expense; but that it was not necessary that | more than one should be involved in its fate; 'that I would take the first ride alone, and'the ! time would come when I should look buck to the | incident with great interest. As I placed my { hand on Uje throttle-valve handle, 1 was unde cided whether I would move slowly or with a fair degree of speed; but, believing that the road would prove safe, and preferring, if we did go down, to go handsomely, and without any evidence of timidity, I started with considerable • velocity, passed-the curve over the creek safely, and was soon out of hearing of the vast assem j blage. At the end of two or three miles I re j versed the valve and framed without acccidcnt, i having thus made thewfcrst railroad trip by jo j confotive on the Western Hemisphere. The Cambeia leoh Woeks.—A writer in the Worth American, in dcseiibing the Cambria Iron Works, the most extensive of the kind in the country, says: “The entire establishment at present comprises nearly three thousand opera tives, twenty-seven thousand acres of land, a rolling mill covering 83,375 square feet, sixty four puddling furnaces, twelve heating furnaces, | fourteen pair of rollers, twenty-nine steam en | gines, giving an aggregate of 2,500 horse pow er, two locomotives, a complete domestic mar ! ket, including separate dry goods, grocery, feed, j meat, shoe and tailoring establishments, one j hundred and forty head of foundry, a 1 draught and, pattern making shop, whcelright | and blachsmithing establishments, machine I shops, powder-housef three hundred railway | cars, etc. Last year 32,000 tons of. railroad i iron were turned out. The’retail stores alone i make sales amounting to $400,000 per annum. ■ During" the past year there have been slaught : ered for the meat market '5BO beeves, 600 head ,of sheep and 600 Jitjad of hogs. The mines are ; superintended by James Murley, one of the j most thoroughly practical miniug engineers in j this country. He employs one thousand men j and boys, eighty mules, and horses, and four i teen miles of railway funnelling. He keeps 1 constantly on hand 120,000 tons of ore, with a I corresponding amount of coal, and delivers to 1 the clamping and roasting, and coaking masters, : 455 -tons of coal and 500 tons of ore per diem. All foe the Union. —Whatever diversity of opinion there may be among the four Presiden tial candidates as to slavery and th% power of Congress over it, they all are united on one point—every one Is in favor of the Union. The accepting speeches and letters of each of the candidates prove each man to be very sound on this question. Mr. Breckenridgo says: “We intend to strengthen and lenghten the Union.” Mr. Douglas says the “ Union must be preser ed,” and through the Douglas party. Mr. Lin coln says he will “ co-operate for the success of the principles declared by the Convention—the inviolability of the Constitution and perpetual Union.” Mr. Bell says his efforts will be di rected to the promotion of all the great objects for which the government was instituted, but more especially for the maintenance of the Con stitution and the Union against all impairing in fluences and tendencies. Here are four distin guished gentlemen, representing every shade of political opinion in the country, all zealously devoted to the preservation of the Union! Un der these assurances, the people must feel per fectly easy in their minds in regard to the fu ture of the country, no matter how-'tho election may turn. The fact that they all refer to the Union sentiment of the country proves that the Union is a little too strong yet for either of them to destroy, if they were so disposed. Murder and Suicide. —Richard Madden, of Springfield township, this county, killed his wife, on Friday evening last, by striking her several blows on the head with a piece, of the bead of a hogshead: after whicji he dragged her under the porch of the house. A siqall son was the only human witness to the terrible deed and he said, “ Voppa you have killed mother to which the father replied, “7 know 'I have." lie then left the house, and search being made for him the next morning, he was found in a corn field near by, having hung himself with a bri dle. - An inquest was held over both the dead bodies on Friday night and Saturday, and on Sunday they were both buried—Mrs. Madden in the Baptist grave yard, and the murderer un der the tree upon which, he had bung himsblf. No cause can bo assigned for this terrible oc currence, unless Wpi attribute it to insanity.— It is said that Madden, although a well doing, industrious man, has frequently exhibited symp toms of insanity ; and it is probable that a fit of derangement having suddenly seized him, he unconsciously committed this horrid deed.— Hunt.

Bohrend and Sieber recommend tbe medicinal use of sugar as a curative means of grcatvalue in Tharrhoca— one in a child aged four years—in which half an ounce of powdered white sugar given every hour, soon gave a favorable turn to symptoms of extreme gravity,-which bad long resisted all the ordinary means of cure. Other evidence of a similar character is promised, and it is be lieved that there are many conditions of diar rhoea, particularly in those in which there is a putrefactive tendency in the secretions, where sugar will, in all probability,prove a most val uable remedy. Tornado in Tennessee. — *A letter from Free* doni, Tennessee, dated the 16th instant* says that during the continuance of the gust, the plowed earth was whirled through the air by car loads; a quanty of bar iron, at Hall’s, was picked up and carried a quarter of a mile, and some of the bars, which were twisted round trees by the force of the wind hpd to be pried off with handspikes. In the baru of Mr. Day were two hundred bushels of wheat, which were carried off, and never heard of since. Sheep and stock were also seen away up in the air. Bearded Woman. —The Maysville (Ky.)

It is said she had no indications of beard until last September, when the hair commenced grow ing upon her face, growing very fast sometines, as much ns half an inch a week.' She has now a heavy black beard, coarse like that of a man. A space of about an inch in yvidth. from the mouth, over her chin to her neck, is, free from hair. v \ SPECIAL NOTICES.

THE PERSIAN FEVER CHARM. For the prevention and cure of Pever and and Bil ious Fevers. This wonderful remedy was brought to the knowledge of the present proprietors by a friend-who bos been a great travellorin Persia and the Holy Land. While going down the river Euphrates, he experienced a sc cere attack ot Fever and .Ague. On discovering his con dition, one of the Boatmen took from his person an Amu let. saying-, “ Bear this and no Fccer will touch you." Al though incredulous as to-its virtues, he complied, and ex perienced immediate relief, and has since always found it an effectual protection from all malarious complaints. On further investigation he found that the boatman attri buted to it miraculous powers, and said that it could only be obtained from tho Priests of the Sun. Sometime after wards, the gentleman in conversing with a Priest obtained from him the secret of its preparation, and ascertained where the- medicinal herbs were found, ot which it was compounded. The wonderful virtues of this article have induced a full belief in the minds of the natives in the mi raculous healing powers.'of their Priests.< Since his return to America, it has been tried with tho happiest effect by several ladies and gentlemen of high character, who have given it the most unqualified praise.— This remedy having been a specific ini' Persia for hundreds of years, for th& prevention and curi of Fever and Ague, and Bilious Fevers—is how offered to the American people. It will be sent by mail, prepaid, with full directions for use, on receipt of one dollar. . Principal Depot and Manufactory, ISS Main'St., Rich mond, Vo.
