We desire to keep a few facts relative to the status of the Copperhead party in this county, before the people. We would have the people REMEMBER, that the leaders, one and all, ardently sympathized with the traitor ous rebels, and that they now plead for those in the custody of the United Stat with all the earnestness of their souls. REMEMBER, that the stars and stripes, the ejuible*" 0,, by them, torn from appropriate p'laces, and supplanted by the il red white and red," the emblems of organized treason- REMEMBER, that the "Star Spangled Banner," "Red, White and Blue," &c., were forced to give way to the favorite airs of the rebels. Yes, who does not remember how night was made hideous by the singing of "Maryland, my Maryland, "The Bonny Blue Flag," &c? REMEMBER, that hundreds of pistols and other deadly weapons were imported into Bedford county, and carried by the members of this same party, to shoot Union men for no other reason than that they were in favor of suppressing armed treason. REMEMBER, that the barns of Union men were burned, their fives threatened, and their families intimidated because they asked the Government to assert the suprem acy of the laws, and were willing to give to it their assistance. REMEMBER, that Churches and school houses were burned because men who loved their country, met their to worship God. REMEMBER, that enrolling officers were shot at, and narrowly escaped with their lives because they undertook to enferce a national edict. REMEMBER, that not less than 000 of this party refused to report when drafted, and skedaddled to the mountains, skulked away in caves or fled to Canada. REMEMBER, that every barn burner who, in the deep darkness of the night, stole up to and applied the torch to the property of Union men, is a rapid Copper head. REMEMBER, that the heathenish in cendiary, who under cover of darkness, prompted by the spirit of the devil, stealth ily kindled the lire which consumed the house of God, if living to-day, is a traitor and a Copperhead. lHiMHMium, ii.a OTMJ deserter wno j fled to Canada to eiyoy the protection of a foreign Government, is and ought to a Copperhead. REMEMBER, that every skedaddler j who secreted himself for months in the "pine clad hills" of the State i is to-day a living, breathing, blathering ; Copperhead. REMEMBER, that every skulker who found his way to the eaves of our rugged mountains, with loads of weapons, who threatened death and destruction on all hands, and then ran away from his shadow, is a blatant Copperhead. REMEMBER, that ministers of the gos pel were reviled, condemned and persecuted because they prayed for the preservation of the institutions of our fathers. REMEMBER, that the Copperhead party in a body voted to exclude the soldier from the right of suffrage, and that they kicked men out of the party, who had the manliness to disobey the order of the lead ers and vote the soldiers this privilege. REMEMBER, that every man who has desired the success of the rebellion, who aided, abetted and countenanced them in any manner, shape or form is a Cop perhead leader to the extent of his intelli gence. SOLDIERS WILL REMEMBER, that if they vote the Copperhead ticket, they will stand side by side, with the distinguished parties above enumerated. Oh soldiers, can you mix with such an array of treachery and traitors. IfcgrThe Copperheads appear to be very much concerned in regard to the unity of the Republican Party. They must have some interests in its stability? Well, once for all, we tell them that if the Republican Party stood in a solid phalanx, shoulder to shoulder, when it had a rebellion to crush that coat hundreds of thousands of lives and billions of treasure, it is not probable that it will now break up into factions when it does not require the sacrifice of a man or a dollar to maintain its permanent exist ence. #air The soldiers tell us they are going to look after the Skulkers, Skcdaddlers, Boun ty Jumpers, Canada refugees when they come to the polls on the 2nd Tuesday of October. PRISONERS are diminishing rapidly in the Old Capitol Prison. A PEACEFUL demonstration of unemploy ed soldiers and sailors took place recently in New York. About 300 peißons were in the precession. PROPERTY amounting to between three and four hundred thousand dollars is daily stolen by professional thieves and pickpock ets in New York. THE War Department has published a "Roll of Honor;" giving the names of sol diers who were interred in the national cem eteries in the District of Columbia from Au gust 3, ISfil, to June 30, 1865. The entire number is 20,727. ONE day last, week the Union Hotel at Saratoga, entertained 1,400 people, who consumed 1,240 pounds of beefsteak, ex clusive of other meats, and 410 quarts of ice cream. THE miners at Scrauton. Pa., and along the Lackawanna Valley are on a strike, the absolute merits of which it is very difficult really to get at, though the results will be felt next winter in the advanced prioo of coal. .

[The following was taken from the Boston ffe eorder, of 1861, and may now be said or snng as a reminder to our false friends:] 'Twill be no thanks to you, good sir, 'Twill Re no thanks to you, W hen our troops come marching home from war, The Red, the White, the Bine Still floating o'er them like a cloud Of glory as they come, While a Nation's blessing long and loud, Shall shout their welcome home. O then 'twill be no thanks to you; You frowned upon their toll, Athcet 'twas folly in your view, Until you saw the spoils; Yu TTIARKUASI ANSL ltt>kcd jj wfoo At justice's long delay, And talked about a compromise To keep the hounds at bay. O yes, 'twill be no thanks to yon, You never spoke a word, When heart and hands and all were due, As 1 have ever heard— One cheer, one word of sympathy, One patriotic prayer— One word of hope and faith to he A charm against despair. 'Twill be no thanks to you, good sir, 'Twill be no thanks to you, • When our troops come marching home from war The Red, the White, the Blue Still floating over them like a cloud Of glory as they come. While a Nation's blessing long and loud Shall shout their welcome home. Yet you phall reap what they have cowed, A country shall be yours, For heroe's blood in streams have flowed A richness that endures. Go, eat the fat and drink the sweet Bought by the brave and true, And yet remember as you eat, There are no thanks to you. ALLEGIANCE TO A STATE. The doctrine of State Rights, as taught by the Southern people, has been product ive of incalculable mischief, for it required the citizen to be bound by the action of his State, no matter how the Union was affect ed thereby. When the traitorous elements in the South were shaping for the fearful war that was launched against the National Government, men who professed to be loyal and devoted to the Union went with the re bellion on the plea that they were bound by the action of their States, while in the north —from the imbecile who disgraced the Exe cutive chair of the nation to the most insig nificant Democratic stump speaker—we were accustomed to hear the treasonable declara tion, "You cinnot coerce a State." Fortu nately for us, the new President entertained a different view as to the supieme power of the land. He turned to the Constiution at Sec. 2, Art. 6, and read : "This Constitu tion, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, :ind all treaties mado ot uihu.hsbalLHe.modo under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land ; ana the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwith standing." Having taken an oath to "pre serve, protect and defend" the Constitution he entered upon a duty which should have been performed months before by his prede ceasor. Deliberately was the issue made between loyalty and treason, and the result is known to the world. By the arbitrament of war the American people have declared the Union to be supreme. Why has not the verdict been universally accepted? The same class of men who endeavored to trammel the Government during the war, by their States Rights sophistries, continue their efforts to bring further calamities upon the nation by declaring the sovereignty of the States. The Southern people are being instructed to demand immediate rc-invest urc of their former privileges on the ground of State sovereignty. From some quarters we hear that the masses of the Southern people arc not guilty of treason, because their States passed ordinances of secession, and transferred their allegiance to another power. The authority of the National Gov ernment being exj>elled from the insurrec tionary States, the people had no course, even if they wished to he loyal, hut to yield obedience to the de facto government, and it is urged that it would be unjust to punish men for aiding the Southern cause when the power of the Union was not present to pro tect them from the tyranny of the rebell ion. There is much truth in this as an idea, but very little as a fact. If the large mass of the Southern people aided the rebellion not from choice but under compulsion, it cer tainly is not unreasonable to expect them to manifest a willing and joyful devotion to the Union, now that the wicked usurpation had been destroyed. We admit that men who yielded to the rebellion under compulsion, cannot be esteemed guilty of treason, hut. those who identified themselves with it on the plea that they were bound to follow their States, are as guilty as those who led the States in their treasonable course. Al exander H. Stephens is often referred to as one who ought not to be called a traitor. It is true, he made a noble defence of the Union, and exerted his masterly genius to prevent the passage of the secession ordi nance of Georgia, but it is equally true that without compul.ion : but willingly and volun tarily, he gave the lie to his noble, manly declarations by affixing his name to the act of treason, and lending all his efforts to the terrible rebellion. His was the common plea, that of State Sovereignty; and we can not regard him as being innocent of trcasoie without recognizing the power and right of a State to bind the citizens contrary to the Constitution and laws of the United States. The doctrine of State Sovereignty having been one of the most powerful incentives to the people to join the rebellion, it is prepos terous to recognize it as an ample defense of those who were moved by it. The time has come when things must he called by their right names, and when trea son, especially, must be made odious. There can be no such thing as States' Rights which impair and conflict with the power and au thority of the United States. The action of a State cannot absolve the citizen from his allegiance to the Union. The Union is supreme, and the States subordinate. These are the lessons of the war, and must not be disregarded, for they have been Bealedin the blood of half a million of patriots. The late renels must accent them in a proper spirit before they can De allowed to partici pate in the affairs of the Government. They must remember that simply subscrib ing to thefoath of allegiance does not restore them to power. They must shape their conduct in such away that there wul be no room to their conversion to loyalty. Everywhere, South as well as North, the su premacy of the Union must be recognized, aud those who are not disposed to do so in deed as in word must expect to be pursued by the vengeance of the law.— Pittsburgh Comviercicu. HEIIFOHIX Pa.. FRIDAY, SEPT£MBEK 1, 18C5. THE PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS AT PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE. PATAPSCO, (Dr. % G. M.,) in the Luth eran Observer, thus speaks of the gentle man : ' 'Mr. Mayer, the Professor elect of Phys ics, is comparatively a stranger, and a few words respecting him may be allowed. As his name will intimate, he is of Lutheran origin, and his German relatives, have for many years, held high places in the Church of the kingdom of Wurtemberg. He is a native ot Baltimore, the son of an eminent lawyer, and has, from early youth, devoted himself diligently to scientific pursuits. Af ter leaving college, he spent a portion of ev ery day for two years, in a machine shop, to acquire dexterity in the use of tools, and to give him facility, in extemporizing instru ments, so ma; Be cah uuw Tntppi> (leflSferi eies in any collection and keep in order those instrument already acquired. Bv this prac tical course of study, he also became ac quainted with the important applications of science and daily assisted in tne designing arid construction of machinery, which has given to this century its special industrial characteristics. He has collected lathes of a superior construction and a fully equipped work-shop, and he is capable of making a wise and skilful use of his tools. He also posseses a valuable and rare collection of in struments, a rich microscopal collection and a choice library. Mr. Mayer was Pfofossor of Physics in Westminster College, Missou ri, until the rebellion broke out, and has since been lecturing in two Colleges in Bal timore, conducting the most intricate chem ical analysis, and further prosecuting scien tific studies in Paris, from which he has re cently returned. In Paris, he attended the lectures of Wurtz, on chemistry; Regnault, on Physics; Deville, on Metallurgy; Bec querel, on electricity; Chevreuel, on applied chemistry, and Tailiandier, on general liter ature. For a paper in the French language, which he read before one of their learned societies he was elected an honorary mem ber, a distinction seldom conferred on a young foreigner. His scientific friends in this coun try have been much gratified in observing that Fresenius, in his hist edition of his Journal, favorably notices some original views in chemistry, which Prof. Mayer pub lished in SiHeman's Journal, eight or nine years ago, before he was twenty years of age. Fresenius auotes these views from the Journal fur die Chcmische "Wissen Schefl, showing the distinguished notice that had been taken of them. His residence in Paris had principally for its object, the study of the organization of the University, and to acquaint himself with all that is new in the literature of science and recent in the means of instruction, so that he is fully competent to fill a professorship worthy of the name. To aid him, in his endeavors to advance the caHse of scientific education in our country, he has brought home instruments and meth ods of illustration entirely new to us, and, indeed, which are as yet rarely seen outside the Sorbonne. Professor Henry, the Humboldt of Amer ican science, and other eminent gentlemen, young men of the eount ry. TREASON IN NEW YORK CITY. When the rebellion was precipitated, Fer nando Wood, then the Democratic Mayor of New York, deliberately and seriously pro : posed to carry that State out of the Union, and annex it to the Southern Confederacy. Wood insisted that New York had no sym pathy in common with the people of the free States, and that its true position, while the South was attempting to establish an inde pendent Government, was one of antago nism to the national authorities. At the time that Mayor Wood thus acted and spoke, he was considered, by those living outside of New York, as insane, but in the face of the fact that the rebellion has been over thrown, and a Southern Confederacy ren dered hopeless, what can the people of the country think of the position taken by New York, through its Mayor, on the suliject of precuring the defence of Jeff. Davis, and collecting money for a future effort in the South to renew the war on the Union? We stated ome days since that sueh a meetting had been held, composed of representatives from the South, some of whom had been in the rebel army, and of leading Democratic citizens of New York; hut when this state ment was put forth it was denied, the Dem ocratic newspapers of the country insisting that no such an assemblage had been in ses sion. It now appears, however, that these Southern rebels and Northern Democratic leaders had been in session, and during the conclave, it was openly urged that the South should and would renew the war on the Union. The main business of the meeting seemed to be to procure money for the de fence of Jeff. Davis. A Southern delegate announced that he was on his way to Eng land, by invitations of prominent English men, to collect funds for the defence of Davis, while New Yorkers, who were pres ent, pledged themselves torahe anv amount of money for the same purpose. The hang ing of the conspirators and assassins of the President, in Washington, was denounced as a murder, but not a word was said in reference to the slaughter of the President. The soldiers who had fought and won the battles of the Union, were execrated as vile Yankees, and referred to by a Southern "gentleman" as too mean to be recognized, and that the people of the South would never permit toe Yankees to possess a hold on the South. The entire Southern people were represented as hostile to the Govern ment. Those of the South who now pro fessed loyalty, did so only to get power to use it against the North. Such was the spir it of the meeting held in the city of New York. Therein it was boldly announced that the war of the rebellion was not a fail ure —that the Democratic party intended to renew the war, with the South on the North —that the Confederacy still had an existence —that President Johnson was a murderer when he signed the death warrant of Mrs. Surratt, and that Jeff. Davis should and would be released. All this was said at a meeting of Southern and Northern Demo crats, backed and encouraged by the Demo cratic Mayor of New York city; and this, and nothing more or less, constitutes the platform of the Democratic party. — Har. Telegraph. SELF-DENIAL. —It i 9 a matter thateannot be too often considered, that real happiness, health, order, peace and bounty depend on self-denial. If'nature, in its wild state, and wishes, and indulgent sensualities, is to be humored, a dose of poison is brewing, a scourge lor the fool's back is preparing—like drunkards who sit down in good humor to tipple but soon proceed to black eves. No man ever found a happy life by cnance, or vawned it into being with a wish. Even the kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent only take it by force. So that per fect peace my be won by perpetual war, and the health of ithe spirit by the death of the Jlcsh. My old maxim is that religion will cost us something, but the want of it infini tely more. — Rev. R. Cecil. MISSISSIPPI. The Proceedings of the State Conven tion—The Act of Secession Null and Void—Slavery Abolished in the State —A Plea for Jefferson Davis. NEW ORLEANS, August 17. —A special dispatch to the Times, from Jackson, Miss., says:—ln the State Convention, an ordi nance ratifying all judicial decisions, judg ments, decrees; contracts, sales, deeds, and indictments, and also all marriages made un der the Htate law duriug the war. was intro duced. An ordinance was presented prohibiting the Legislature from passing any law impo sing any civil disability, or punishment, or forfeiture of estate upon any citizen engaged in the late war with the United States, for his political opinions' Both ordinances passed the lymdmp- A memorial requesting the President not to garrison the State with negro troops was referred to General Osterhaus, the General in command. The Committee on Constitution made a report, recommending that such change be made in the Constitution as to hereafter pre vent slavery, or involuntary servitude, except upon legal authority, for crime, and striking out all portions of the old Constitution re lating to slavery. An ordinance was also presented provi ding for the election of Congressmen, Gov ernor, and legislative and other State offi cers, on the first Monday in October, to servo two years, the judicial and ministerial offi cers to hold office for the unexpired terms of their predecessors. This will cause all the elections to be held on the same day as be fore the passage of the act of secession. A second committee was appointed, with instructions to present an ordinance ratifying all the acts of the officers of the State not made in aid of the recent war, aud not in consistent with the Constitution of the Uni ted States or M ississippi. Both reports will be adopted. JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 21, 9 P. M. —The State Convention to-day adopting the fol lowing amendment to the State Constitution: —"The institution of slavery having been abolished by the State of Mississippi, neith er slavery nor involuntary servitude, other wise than in punishment of crime of which the party shall have been duly convicted, shall hereafter exist in this State; and the Legislature, at the next session and thereaf ter, as the public welfare may require, shall provide for the protection and security of the person and property of the freedmcn of this State against tne evils that may ari-e from their sudden emancipation. An ordinance was also passed for the hold ing of a general election at the same time for county, di-trict or ministerial officials. JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 22. —The conven tion to-day passed an ordinance declaring the ordinance of Secession null and void. It repeals the ordinances of the Convention of l Sftl except the revenue ordinance, which is left to the Legislature to act upon. At ah informal meeting of the delegates, in their individual capacity, a memorial was presented expressing in eloquent terms a petition to President Johnson to extend a pardon to •fenerson imvis aiia uovernor Clark, which was acquiesced in by all pres ent. WANTED, A GENERA!.. The Albany Democratic Regency, onder the control of Richmond, Cagger and Sey mour, is just now in search of a General— "under difficulties." At the last meeting of tbe Democratic State Committee, at Albany, we understand the important question where to tind i Gen eral officer, more or less distinguished in the I late war, to head the ticket of the party" j for the nomination of Secretary of State in the campaign, upon which "the party" is just now entering, was the principal ques tion entertained, discussed and debated. The prospects, upon all sides, were admit ted to be gloomy enough. The attitude of "the party" during the war had been such as to mate its resuscitation and re-entry upon the field, all but an imjwssibility. The State was evidently "joined to licr idols of freedom and loyalty. So the Regency State Committee drooping and despondent, sat down in the famous Room No. 57 of the Delavan House, and devoted themselves to the consideration how and where to find a General to head their ticket. Quaint, inconsistent and desperate enough, if we may rely upon our informa tion, were the suggestions offered. Rich mond asked about Gen. Slocum: to which John A. Greene replied that Slocum had been spoken to. and had declined. Cagger named Gen. Curtis, of St. Lawrence, but was answered by Judge Dodge that Curtis had also respectfully begged off. Somebody suggested Gen. Peck; but the response was, that Peek wanted nothing to do with the Regency. Surrogate Tucker nominated Gen. Sickles; but .Sickles, also, was under stood to have positive objections to a partic ipation in the November defeat. This brief record appeared to complete the roll of avail able Generals, all of whom wore dismissed from consideration for the worst kind of non availability. Supervisor Tweed, however, continued to persist in the search, and brought forward the name of Gen. Spinola. Street Com missioner Cornell thought Gen. Cochrane might be induced to "come over." And the list was closed by somebody's presenting the name of Gen. Rusteed. As the end had surely then been reached, the committee ad journed to dinner. The Democratic party seriously, is in want of a General as its candidate for Secretary of State. Salary of the office, $2,500 and no stealings, ani chances of election not worth considering. Who bids? Where is the lucky General who wishes to lead the forlorn and disorganized host? Don't all speak at once, gentlemen with the stars! — N. Y. Timet. Intelligence.—Tle Democratic press is just now loud in its advocacy of the doc trine that "intelligence" and not "num bers" should control at the ballot box. We agree with our coteniporaries, and as they are doubtless in favor of what they preach, we beg leave to inquire of them what will become of their party if all professed white men, who can't read the "regular Demo cratic ticket" when it is presented to them, are told that they are no better than "nig gers" and must stand aside while their ,;in telligent" neighbors go on with the voting. And what will Mr Teddy O'Toole and all his relations say to this new dogma ?—Ex change. RECIPROCITY. —The Finance Minister of Canada has announced to the local Parlia ment that he is ready to give up the high duty now imposed on certain American man ufactures, lor the sake of reciprocity. It doee not appear what the exempted articles are to include. But we judge from the tone oi the Minister's speech that he fully un derstands that the reciprocity can no longer be all one side, and that if we are to have free trade with the Provincials, it must be something more than the name of the thing. —N.

But Washington, I when be saw that the men had more work than they could well do, took off his coat at once and began to help them saying, bpring to it, my brave fellows! we are working for our country; let us do it with a good will, Ui this way he worked with them till they had finished; and then when he was putting on his coat, he asked the officer why he did not help the men when he saw that they had more work than they could well do. fe landing up straight with a proud look ou his face, the officer replied. "I would have you know, sir, that lam a corjporal. I that tror/tV Oh, are you sir?" said Washing w'h ? OU ,re a cor P ora * and don't work. W ell, 1 would have you know that lam General Washington, Commander-in-Chief, and I do work.'' Don A you think the corporal must have felt ashamed? Now if ever you begin to feel too prmid to work, just think of Wash ington and tire corporal.— S. S. Messenger. HOW SHOULD WE REGARD OUR ENEMIES. I FROM THE GERMAN.] Have you enemies? Pursue the even tenor of your way, without heeding them. If they attempt to obstruct you path, avoid the_ opposing obstacles, without noticing their hatred. The man who has no enemies is seldom worth much. Burger says, "That is not the worst fruit which is gnawed by the wasps. He who has no enemies at all Is usually formed of such material that lie passively gives way to every impression, and is therefore not worthy of a friend. Whilst, 011 the other hand, a noble and worth}' man. who thinks, and speaks, and acts openly for him. elf and others, and abides by the truth without respect of person.-, cannot possibly remain without enemies. They are. moreo ver, as necessary to him as" the air fee breathes. He can scarcely exist without them. They keep him employed, a*d spur him on to noble deeds. A celebrated man, viiic was surrounded by as many enemies as a pot of honey is by wasps, was in the habit of remarking aboutthem. "15iey amlifcq the o,,Howling sparks of a buraittg brana7 which die of themselves, if left alone!" Let this saying be your guide in your conduct toward those who, by their calumnies, seek to de grade you; for if yos stoop to contend with or defend yourself against them, you will only do what they wish you to do—place yourself oh a level with them, and supply thcin with matter for fresh calumnies. On ly let the ruoau souls quietly talk on, and they will, if you continue faithful in the dis charge of your duty, accomplish just the opposite from what they intend, inasmuch as they will thus turn the attention of those who have hitherto regarded you with indif ference more directly upon you, and raise up friends and defenders for vou, of which you would otherwise have been deprived— Lutheran and Missionary. FORMS OF SALUTATION. —Most modern forms of salutation and civility are derived from chivalry, or at least from war, and they all betoken some deference, as to a con queror; fust as in private life we still con tinue to sign ourselves the very humble ser vants of our correspondents. The uncov ered head was simply the head unarmed; the helmet being removed, the party was at mercy. So the hand ungloved was the hand ungauntled; and to this day it is an incivility to .--hake hands with gloves on. Shaking itself was a token of truce, in which the parties took hold each of the oth er's weapon hand, to make sure against treachery. So also the gentleman's Sow is but an offer of the neck to the stroke of the adversary; so the lady 's courtesy is but the form of her going on her knee.-- for mercy. The general principle is marked as it ought naturally to be, still more strongly in the case of military salutes. Why is the dis charge of guns a salute? Because it leaves the guns empty, and at the mercy of the op ponent. And this is so true that the salu ting with blank cartridge is a modern inven tion. Formerly salutes were fired by dis charging the camion balls, and there have been instances in which the compliment has been nearly fatal to the visitor whom it meant to honor. When the officer salutes, he points the drawn sword to the ground; and the salute of the troops is, even at this day, called "presenting arms"— that is, pre senting them to be taken. PURITY OF CHARACTER. —Over the beau ty of the plum and the aprieot there grows a bloom and beauty more exquisite than the fruit itself—a soft delicate flush spreads its blushing cheek. Now, if you strike your hand over that it is gone—The flower that hangs in the morning imparled with dew. arrayed as no queenly woman ever was ar rayed with jewels—onoe shake it so that the beads roll off, and you may sprinkle water on it as you please, yet it can never be again what it was when the dew fell si lently on it from heaven. <)n a frosty morn ing you may see panes of glass covered with landscape, mountains, lakes, trees blended in a beautiful pieture. Now lay your hand upon the glass, and by the scratch of your finger, or by the warmth of your palm, that delicate tracery will be obliterated. So there is in youth a beauty and purity of character, which, when once touched and defiled, can never be restored. jfeir'Many persons of smart business qual ities, enter into business, but do not meet with success, simply because they do not publish to the world their locality, stock of goods, and facilities for doing business, broods once bought must be sold, and the only way to dispose of them is to advertise informing the people where they can find the cheapest and best articles. Get ahead of your neigebors, if you can, through the press, and there will be no lack of sale. Common sense and observation of large bu siness establishments, dictate this. Many establishments acknowledge their success to have been sustained through the public prints. A word to the wise is sufficient. Cholera in its westward travels, has reach ed Ancona, ItaJy, where 34 persons are dy ing of the terrible disease daily. HOT AND COLD.— Han MarHc was once strolling along the wharves in Boston, where he met a tall, taunt figure, a "digger" from vaurornia, and got into conversation with nun. ;;j| ea climate. J suppose?" Healthy? it ain t anything else. Why, stranger, there you can ehoose any elimate ton like, hot or cold, and that without trav eling more than fifteen minutes. Just think 0 that the next cold morning when you gut out of oed. There's a mountain there, with S valley on each side of it, the one hot, and the other cold. Well, get on the top of the mountain with a double barrelled gnu, and jou can, without moving, kill either summer Or winter game, just as you will!" "What, have you ever tried it?" "Tried it! often! and should have done pretty well, but for one thing. I wanted a uog that would stand both climates. The ( i last dog I had froze off his tail while point j in' on the summer side. He didn't get en tirely out of the winter side, you see —trew as you lives." Marble sloped. INTERESTS CANADA. -Canadian hftairs are assuming an aspect interesting to the people of this country. The Provincial 1 arhrrsient is now in session at Quebec, and portions of its proceedings and the general sentiment of the members, are significant, The feeling in favor of annexation to the I nited States has grown rapidly of late. It is said that one-third of the Parliamentary members arc in favor of it, and that all that is wanted to carry the project through to success is a bold and firm leader. The speech in the lower house in response to the Gov crnor General e address wsus particularly complimentary to the valor of the Unitea • dates in war, and its strength and power in peace, and was frequently greeted With the English, Hear, hearl' exclamation. In the midst of the excitement and varying feeling, the ministiy have become somewhat alarmed, and will, it is understood, aoandon lor the present session both the confedera tion and the frontier defences schemes. MANNERS. —I makeit a point of morality,'' •says a writer, "never to find fault with an other for his manners. They may be awk ward or graceful, blunt or polite, polished or rustic, I care not what they are if the man means well, and acts from honest intern tions without eccentricity or affectation. All men have not the advantage of "good *=>£?, as it is called to school themselves, in all its fantastic rules and ceremonies, ana if there is any standard of manners, it is well founded on reason and good sense, and not upon these artificial regulations. Man ners, like conversation, should be extempo raneous. and not studied. I always susjieoi a man that meets me with the same per petual smile on his face, the same landing of the body, and the same premeditated shake of the hand. OiVe hie the hearty, it may be rough—grip of the hand, the care less nod of recognition, and when occasion requires, the homely but welcome salutation —"How are you, my old friend?" THE ROMAN PROTOTYPE OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.—The Paris correspondent of the London Globe says another prototype for Lincoln has been found in Servins Tullius by the National Committee, in permanent sitting at Rome. Tullius was done to death by patrician daggers for having raised the pfeo.i to participation in power, and for hav ing manumitted the slaves. To put on record the views thus taken on the Tiber, the committee has embodied its notion in a lapidary inscription, which for greater local significance they have caused to be deep cut jn a fragment from the old tufa stone form ing the ancient town boundary, Ayer Servii Tulii, traces of which traverse the gardens of £allust. This block they mean for presenta tion at \v asfimgton, in testimony of condo lence with a free people. TRUE TO THEIR FAITH.—The Democratic Party in Ohio is true to the Chicago Plat form. The convention on Thursday nomi nated Alexander Long, a VaUandigham Copperhead, for Governor, and adopted resolutions, asserting the doctrine of State rights, denying the right of emancipation, in favor of free trade, denouncing the public debt, denying the right of the Government to raise armies by draft, declaring Jeff. Da vis tobe"a martyr spirit" opposing the 1 resident's policy, asserting throughout principles more suited to the most rebellious part of the South than the region of the Ohio. Ohio leads the van!— Somerset Her ald and Whiff. .NON-PAYING subscribers are thus talked to by an editor out West; "Wagons canuot run without wheels— boats without steam —bull-toads jump with out legs. or newspapers be carried on ever lastingly without money, no more than dog can wag his tail when he has none. Our subscribers are all good, but what good does a man s goodness do when it don't do you any good: We have no doubt every otie thinks that all have paid but him and as we are a clever fellow, and his is a little matter, it will make ho difference'.." Will some of onr readers make a note of this. GREATLY INCREASED EMIGRATION.— Late foreign papers show that the; rush of emigrants to this.country from the North of Europe is setting in with more than usual vehemence. Fifteen thousand Polish exiles are making arrangements with the Swiss govenrment for transportation to the free soil of the Stages. From Norway the exodus of the most valuable part of the population is so great as to excite the fears of the authori ties, who are endeavoring to check it ON a wet, miserable foggy London day, in autumn, Charles Lamb Was attested by a beggarwoman, with. "IVav, sir, bestow a little charity upon a poor, destitute womam who is perishing for lack of food. Believe me, sir. I have seen better days. "So have I." said Lamb, handitag the pttor tmeatnre a shilling; "So have L; it is a miserable day 1" It is hardly probable the woman was in good enough spirits to take the joke, but she took the shilling. WSJ" A Lousiana paper declares that the tow n of Nachitoehes has fleas that can jump higher, quicker, bite harder, out dodge, run faster, than any other fleas. They are larger, fatter, slicker, harder to rope, than any other fleas. It takes two frcedmen and a white boy to tree one of them, and suggests, as a last resort, to have them hung or shot with a Sharp's rifle. A terrific hurricane has occurred in the South Pacific Ocean, entirely washing away one of the Palmerston Islands, leaving noth ing but the coral breakers, which, in case of a heavy sea, are entirely invisible to the eye, but in perfectly calm weather they are ob servable. Owing to this damage by the hurricane, several vessels have been wrecked but none were American. IT is not what people eat, but what they digest, that makes them strong.
