Kow carried into execution n project of making
a voyage around tii world. 'fliis she accom
filuhed during the years 1840 and 1818. She
eft Vienna, May 1, 1848, and arrived at Rio
Juueiro, after a stormy passage. Sept 18 of the
same year. After traveling through the Bra
ids. she went round Cape Horn, traveled thro"
Chili, visited Otaheite, set sail for Chiua, and
then went to India. Thence she went up the
Tigris, to visit the interesting ruins of Baby-
Inn and Nineveh: then wandered through Khoor
distaD and Persia, passed the Caucasus, and
traveled through the south of Russia, thence to
Constantinople, and through Greece, home.—
When we remember the dangerous regions she
traversed, we are astonished at the intrepidity
of a woman traveling alone, amidst the most
savage tribes on the face of the earth, passing
from country to c-oun'rv, fiom tribe to tribt,
braving dangers, faiigue, hunger and thirst;
anu ir is indeed impossible to withhold our ad
miration from the ludy wlnvoould undergo all
these trials and hardships, a.,d display a cour
age that very few of the opposite sex can boast
ot. But her very helplessness was her best
protection. In 18-51 she sailed from London
for the C*pe of Good Hope, and theneo took
ship for Sing-pore, to visit the islands of the
Indian archipelago; after this she went to Sar
awak, in Borneo, thence through the dangerous
country cf the l)y-.'ks to the Dntch posses
sions iu the interior ami on the west of she is
land. After visiting the Molaecns, she went to
California, and thcncc home. During all her
jourueyiugs she enjoyed excellent health, and
said herself that she possessed "nerves nnd
sinews of steel " It should be added that she
•did not travel to r bttin u reputation, I tit for

'♦Will Mr. Williams resign ?" is the heading
of an ai'.icle in the last Giselle. Wo snswer,
yes! If Mr. Schell resigns Ha scat in the !
Senate, in this District, which gave a majority j
this fall of 1473 against Lis party, Mr Wil
liams will resign; or if Wilson Reilly,who w
also beaten in the Congr t ssiou 1 District 267
votes this fall, will resign bi teat in Congress,
Mr. Williuui* will resign, but unless cither ore
of these gentlemen, who ara now in a Wgc
minority, will resign, Mr. William?, who was
elected over Mr. Bums, by a majority of 655
votes, would hardly think it fair to resign,
without some just equivalent.
In '.be same article, the Gazette says that it
is uneoust Rational that wo should be united to

GOVERNOR o? KANSAS. —President Bu
obanan baa appointed SAMUEL MEDARY, late
ot the Ohio Statesman, Governor ot Kansas.—
Medary has been a-life-long opponent of the
President, and at every couvention at which bis
name was brought forward, be opposed bis
pretensions. We rather like the disposition of
Mr. Buchanan in this particular, as ho follows
out the Scriptural icjuuction, "Forgive year
enemies.' 1 Gen. Jackson ned to say, "Re-
Ward your friends, and punish your enemies,"
a sentiment with which no one agreed, and
which hut few, if any, oyer put in practice.—
The doctrine of proscription foropiuion's sake
has been long since exploded, ami is net prac
ticed at the present day. except by a few old
fogies who ato behind the ge. That Presi
dent Buchanan is uot one of this class of poli
ticians, is apparent bj the appointment of Sam.
.Medary. If however, Kansas should prove n
political graveyard for him, as it has for ali
previous Governors appointed by the Admin

' ANOTHER CONDEMNATION OF
THE ADMINISTRATION!
Berks County Democracy Aroused!
THE APPOIJYTMEXT OF THE REPU
DIATED J. GLAA C Y JOJVES, AS
MLMSTER TO AUSTRIA, RE
BUKED! !
Below will be found a telegraphic dispatch,
announciog a glorious victory in Berks Coup
Ir, on last Tuesday. It is well known thai
J. Glancy Jones was put forward as the ad
ministration leader in the Hou-e of Represent
atives, and aided with all his power, in attempt
ing to enforce the odiou9 Lecompton Constitu
tion upon the people of Kansas. At the late
election , Jones appeared before bis party in ,
Berks County, as the regular nominee, and
was defeated by Maj. Schwartz, anti-Lecoaip
ton democrat, by 19 majority. As soon as bis ;
defeat was known, Mr- Buchanan, in Lot baste, |
appointed hiui as Minister to Austria. Jones
accepted, and resigned his seat in Congress for j
the present winter. Joel B. Wanner was rcg
ulariy nominated by the udrniuistmuon men.—
He is the law partner and fast friend of Jones,
and the convention which nominated him, pas
sed rcsolutipns in favor of the policy of the
Administration ) The result is the election of
Gen. Keiui, the opposition candidate, by from
400 to 600. Gen Keim has always been a firm
opponent of sham-Democracy. Only think!
the Berks County Locofoeo majority oT from
6000 to 7000 turned into that many hundreds
on the other side ! What is the Locofflvo par
ty coming to ! Here's the dispatch :
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1, 1858.
To Diivid Over, Esq : —The special elec- j
tion in Berks Couuiv, for a member of Con
grass, to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- ■
nation of J. Glancy Jones, took piaee yestcr '
day. Gen. Keim—Opposition was elected by ;
a majority of four to six hundred over Wanner
—Democrat—who is a devoted friend of Mr.
Jones.
We find the following in the Fulton Demo
crat of last week. Many of our citizens have
known "Old John" for many years and have
rode with him oflcn before the days of Rail
roads and steam:
AN OLD STAOE DRIVER. —John Bender, of
this place—who does riot known Bender, the
veteran stage driver!— las driven the mail conch
oc the Ohauibersburg and Bedford Turnpike
for upwards of thirty-five years, without inter
mission or interruption. If is calculated that
during that time he has averaged fourteen miles
a day for every day in the week, excepting Sun- j
day, and has consequently travelled 153,370 j
miles' He is always at his posi, faithful and j
honest, and looks hearty and active enough to |
drive twenty years yet. * He has one horse in !
his team that has been driven about 11 years j
unintoriuptedly, (48.202 miles !) If any man ■
in the country deserves a pension furlong con
tinued public service lie ccttaioly does, for car
rying the United States mail faithfully foriliir
ty-five years. Besides all this, he is an old
soldier and served bis country faithfully iu the
late w.ir with Great Britain. Wa believe that
he has obtained his land warrant.
Tus FOUR SISTERS. —We are indebted to
the publishers for this interesting work of Fred
rikn Bremer. The Saturday eveatng Post says;
of it.
♦♦The Four Sisters, by Miss Bremer, is ono j
of those novels, by this geaiul author, which !
have so plesantly opened to us the doors of
Swedish homes, wanned our hearts i:i their !
cheerful fiieside glow, and made us familiar !
with the lights and shadows of Swedish life.— ;
The subject of the story is a woman's life and i
a woman's fate. The novel is full of rich hu
mor, clever character painting, and felicitous
descriptions of town life aud country life, and
in-door and out-door scenery in Sweden. The
translation has been made by Mary Howiit, who 1
seems born to so two things remarkably well—
write admirable stones of her own, snd ad
mirably translate the stories of Miss Bremer.
\Vc would adviso all of our readers to obtain
it and read it. It is published by T. B. Pe
terson & Brothers, Philadelphia, who will semi
a bouud copy of it to any one, per mail, free
of postage, on sending ?1,25 in a letter to
j them."
Strong Language.
; The Democratic papers in the Northwest do
; not minco their words in speaking of the Gene
' ral Administration. The St. Paul's (Minn.)
| Pioneer unci Democrat, speaking of the election
i in Illinois, says :
"An Administration which b', more than any
! other noun, aidied in elevating to power did not
i scruple, through its salaried office-holders, to
j ally itself with the Republicans in their desper
ate efforts to elect Lincoln. Treachery to Sbe
Democratic party in Illinois was the sole path
way to political honors at Washington. But
iu depitc of treason, and in defiance of the un
precedented efforts of the Republicans— their
appeals to sectional prejudices mid studied mis
representations of Dougias—the gallant leader
of the Illinois Democracy has swept the State
from the Wabash IO the Mississippi, from Cairo
to Chicago.
"One great triumph secured by the result in
Illinois will he the cseuiptiou of the people of
' the ffiates hereafter from the dangerous ea
! croaobmcnts of Federal power. There can be
no excuse for the interference of a President
. in the local polities of a B:ate; and tho rebuke
! that bus attended Mr. Buchanan's efforts in
! ihat. lino will prevent i's repetition."

CHANGE OF OPlNlON—Historically, Penn- j
sylvania is known as the Keystone tf the Fed
etal arch. In political annals, the democrats
called her a regular old Cones toga horse, al
ways ready to pull the party out of a tight
place, but uow the tone of the locofbto editors
is changed, and the old Concstoga horse' has
become an anaeondi that has bad a plethorn,
and in its stubborn fatness lias been seized and
captured. The Richmond Examiner, speaking
of defeat of their party, says:
"Pennsylvania, gorged with the lion's share
of tbe spoils, in spite of her cabinet officer, Iter
six foreign ministers and her countless hordes
of office-holders, is in the hands of the Black
Republicans, Oppressed with the weight of
her ahuudaut rewards , sho was early overtaken
and slain." Ohio, too, in tho dark brother
hood of which Massachusetts, New Hamp
shire and Connecticut are the evil oracles— this
is surely a sight to rnako the eyes of thinking j
men turn inwards, and seek in their hearts !
some explanation of the cause which bat so re
sulted."
THE PROSPECTS FOR 1860.—Last year, N.
York, N •:w Jersey, and Pennsylvania,, casting j
sixty-nine electoral votes, went Democratic,
whilo Ohio, Wisconsin, nnd Connecticut,
choosing thirty-four more electors, were very
nearly tied. States together choose
more than Lalf the electors to which the Free
. *
•states are entitled. At the election of 1858,
not a single Free State but California has been
carried by ihe sham Democracy. Indiana is
apparently balanced, but the Republicans have
the advantage. The Republicans and those
allied with them have carried them all; their
electoral vote being sufficient to elect a Presi
dent and have a good maoy to spare. Only
blundering folly can prevent our winning a
glorious victory in 1860.
CLOSE OF TIIE VOLUME.—The ninth vol

COL. THOMAS L. HARRIS, whose lamented
death we announced yesterday, won distinction
in the command of a regiment of Elinois Vol
unteers in tbe Mexican War. Having returned,
he became a candidate for Congres*, we believe
first in 1848, and carried, by 106 majority, the
Springfield District, which hid hitherto been
decidedly Whig, though Gen. Taylor hau 1.500
majority for President in that District that year.
In 1850, he was ruu cut by Richard Yates, who
had 754 majority; and in 1852 (tbe District
having meantime been changed,) Mr. Yates was
re-elected by 430 majority—Col Harris not
being a candidate. In 1854, Yates and Har
ris were again opposing candidates, and Hairis
was elected by 200 majority. In 1856, he was
opposed by & Mr. Williams, bnt was ro-electcd
by 2,119 majority; and, though in fetble and
failing health: so as to be unable to cauvass,
lie was again re-elected on the 2d ins?., by 4,-
447 majority—Ly far tho largest ever given in
tbe District. This was a stirring tribute to his
personal integrity and worth. Col. Harris,
i despite his broken health, was one of the most
determined and efficient opposcrs of the Le
compton policy last Winter, and, had be lived,
would have taken uo backward stops. As was
less truthfully said of another, he "had taken
a through ticket, and 'eheoked all his baggago."
His death at this time is a public calamity, as
it is not al all likely that cither so good a man
or ono so thoroughly posted with regard to the
question of tho day will be ohosen in his stead.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
The Washington correspondent of tho New
Y. Times says that Cobb has been for some time
closely engaged in tbe preperation of his report,
arranging nd digesting facts and figures, and
gives it as Ills opinion that but a very slight, if
any, modification or revision of the tariff will
ibe recommended. Other reports from Wash-
I ington are different. They are to tho effect that
j a combined and vigorous effort will be made next
i Congress to effect some change favoring a ics
toration of the industrial interests of tin coun
try, now so depressed and prostrated, to a health
ful itr:d prosperous condition. It u< hoped and
said that the Administration will take ground
in favor of such change; but if not, it is thought
the Opposition will carry such n measure over
tbe Administration. We need a tariff modifi
cation badly, both for our depleted national
treasury aud fo r the suffering manufacturing iu
tiregts of tbe couniry.

The Jewish Abthiciion Case.
There is scarcely any psron who reads news
papers who his riot hoard of the ense of rh
abduction of a Jewish child from its parents
at Rome. It is a singular affair, involving
questions of international comity ns well as
points of ecclesiastical polity, The whole case
may b simply stated: The child Imd beeu bap
tized when an infant by its Catholic nurse. On
the strength of its admission to the church by
the administration of this rite the ecclesiastics
at llomc claimed the light to prevent it from
being brought up according to the Jewish fairh,
and therefore took it from its parents and com
mitted it to the charge of ins motors to be rear
ed in the Catholic creed. The Jews of Lon
don have taken the subject iti hand, and arc
endeavoring to induce their bretbereti through
out the world to co-opcrstc with tliem in a de
monstration to secure the ieturu of the child
to its parents. With this view the London
Committee of Delegates of British Jews his
addressed a circular to each Jewish congrega
tion in Kuropc and the United States, making
a statement of the case aud requesting action.
This will of course icccive the early attention
of the different Jewish congregations in this
country.

thcui, but the offer was declined.
OH! DEAR.— Deer are quite plenty in the
Alleghenies this winter. A party from llulli
diiysburg went out the other day, and took
down three in a few hours besides seeing
several others. Mr. Russell, of the Pittsburgh
and Connelsviile Railroad, went out on a huut
ing excursion a few days since, and in the ci
cinity of Ohio Pile Fails, killed a monster
buck, weighing some two hundred and fifty
pounds -—PiltsFg Evn'g Chronicle.
Mr. McAleir, of Connelsville, nho had been
out with a party from that place hunting oil
the mountains, passed through our town on
Saturday morning with as large a buck as we
have ever seen. It-wars shot by Mr. llussell of
the party spoken of, near the Falls, in Stewart
township. It is said he was a hundred and ten
yards distant from the Luck when he fired, the
ball entering just behind the shoulders, and
passing ttirough iLc vitals, which .-hows Mr.
Russell to be a good shot.— (lenius of Libcr

As IMMENSE WlNDFALL.—According to
the Cumberland (Md..) Ahcgauian, an old man
named Jobn Brobst, living in the Giad.s, in
that county, recently discovered that he was
the rigliti'ui owner of a large tract of iand in
the richest mineral region of Pennsylvania, un
derlaid with immense seams of coal and iron,
and valued at $8,900,000. Brobst, it is said,
lived on the laud, fifty years ago, became in
volved through his brother, mortgaged his prop
erty to its then full value, aud came to Mary
land, where he has ever since lived in indigent
circumstances. The property subsequently
passed into tho bauds of his nephews, who af
terwards sold it to a wealthy company. The
difficulty rf giving a good title to the property
led to the fact that Brobst was stiii alive. He
was searched out, found, uu 1 taken on to Penn
sylvania, and according to the Aileganitn, has
sold out all his right for the sum of $2,600,-

were adopted:
Resolved, That James Buchanan has for
feited tho respect of the people, and the alio
giance of his party, and can no longer be con
sidered as a Democrat.
Resolved, That Stephen A. I'ougls?, Ly the
promptitude with which he resisted aggressive
usurpation, and tho energy end ability with '
which he has advocated and sustained the prio
cipie- of the true Democracy, is worthy of the
people's confidence, and entitled to the hiirhos:
reward in their power to bestow.
Resolved, That we nominate liitn as the can
didate for the Presidency in 1860, subject on
ly to the popular will, as expressed through
the billot-b->x,
MEXICO.—The rcoeDt news from Mexico is of
a character calculated te cause much embar
rassment to our Government. Self-respect re
quires that all insults to our Minister, and
to citizens of our country, should be prompt
ly redressed. Mexico has no government from
which satisfaction can be expected. Should a
; force be sent thither, it uiay find another par
; ty established, which will be ready to apoio
| gize, ar.d all the trouble goes for nothing. Mr.
1 Buchanan is likely to have his bauds full short
| ly. If nothing better can bo done, it will be
i an easy matter to conquer another piece of
i Mexico, and that will get some glory for an Ad-
I mioistiation which sadly needs it.

expedition will be defeated should President
Lopez determine to fight. This it is believed
will result from the very great difficulty of reach
ing his capital. In the language of a member
of tlie Oibinof, the expedition is about as
chimerical as would be on expedition up the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers against the State
of Ohio. In order that Lopez may not have an
opportunity of complaining of the presence of
the fleet, the vessel will come to an anchor in
the river outside of his territorial limits, and
there await the result of OouimUeionor Bow

CESTESfJIUL ANNIVERSARY.
I lie centennial anniversary ©f th evacuation of

ohe attendance from other places was als > 1-rge.—
It is estimated that there were at leastß,ooo persons
m the procession, and the; number on the side
walks was immense. After march'Rg through the
principal streets, the procession proceeded to the
Depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad. which is
located upon the very spot where the old Fort
stood. Here an address was delivered by A. M.
