HARRISBURG, March 23, '57
DEAR. GLOBE :-It does one glad to write a
letter with the assurance that the ghosts of
your ideas will not return from the hands of
the printer to accuse you of conniving at their
murder. And such is the pleasant conviction
I have whilst dipping pen in ink to trace
these hasty paragraphs. I have just been
turning over the pages of a scrap-book con
taining the several epistles you have been
pleased to publish for me during the past and
?present year ; and in some five columns of
clear and elegant typography, there is but a
single error—and that in no wise mars the
meaning.
The weather with us is still in a condition
Fruitfully suggestive of barometric observa
tions. Yeiterday was serene and crystalline,
such as is aptly described in a verse of Bry
ant's poem on March :
"Thinugh thy reign of shine and storm,
Smiles many a long bright sunny day,
When the changed winds arc soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of May."
To-day is lowering and gloomy, as though the
pitying angels were about to weep over the
"fantastic tricks" of little-minded men—over
such deeds as I have just had a narration of,
and one incident of which is hero related to
you in turn :
Not many years ago, a learned and excel
lent clergyman came from Scotland to settle
in a town of New Jersey, but subsequently
removed to an interior village of Pennsylva
nia, where he now resides, leading an un
blemished life devoted to his pastoral charge.
But unfortunately for his peace and the good.
of community, this worthy man has had meted
out to him the proverbial preacher's curse of
a bad son. In vagrancy, vice and idleness
have passed. the first years of this graceless
offspring. At one time, as all the villagers
well know, being drunk and denied money,
he assaulted his old father, beat and bruised
him, and would doubtless have ended his
fiendish work by knocking out his brains, had
not a constable come to the rescue. The
blood-stains yet mark the bannisters and
door-way of the parent's dwelling ; while the
son is at this day endeavoring to figure as
editor of a country paper in. Pennsylvania—
I will not say where (at present) further than
that the name of the county in which his
sheet is printed has of late years been darkly
dyed in the calendar of crime; and the very
village, whose citizens he disgusts and dis
graces, has within a few months been the
theatre of an atrocious murder. And who
can wonder at it, that theft and blood-shed
should he rife where there are such " blind
leaders of the blind."
Governor GEAItY of Kanzas was in our city,
last week, en route to Washington. lie is
the same affable gentleman as of yore,. with
perhaps a dash of increased. cordiality and
frankness of manner, caught from the free
air and boundless prairies of the West.—
Whether he is to return in an official capacity,
will probably have been determined by your
day of publication. It would certainly be
politic and wise on the part of the adminis
tration, to re-appoint him, should he consent
to go back, inasmuch as ten years spent in
the backwoods, have well qualified him for
the arduous responsibilities devolving upon a
Territorial Governor. It is not best to com
mission men to such offices, who are inexpe
rienced in the perils of Western life, and ig
norant- of the peculiarities of Western char
acter.
As evidence of how fast the " shriekers"
are, in making capital of nothing, it is worth
mentioning, that the New York Tribune pub
lished a telegraphic dispatch, announcingthe
arrival of Mr. Geary in Washington, the ac
ceptance of his resignation, and tho appoint
ment of a salve-holder as his successor, - whilst
the Governor and your obedient, were tran
quilay smoking our meerschaum, together in
Harrisburg. Vet a bevies
I perceive by your other county papers,
that the agglomerates are anxious to have Dr .
WINTRODE explain why he was absent from
the election of State Treasurer. The Holli
daysburg Register insinuates that he was
slightly "lubricated." It is due his consti
tuents, certainly, that the Doctor should ex
plain, and I trust he will—with a vengeance.
As to the charge of corruption—do not believe
a word of it. HARRY MAGRAW is incapable
of resorting to such means. One of the ab
sentees, Dr. JoaN WRIGHT, of Dauphin, is
an old and cherished friend of mine. We
were .school-fellows, and he was then noted
for strict integrity; and to-day, no one in his
-oven county, would have the audacity to ques
tion his position as a high-toned gentleman.
Harrisburg is now without a theatre. The
excellent stock company from 'Walnut street,
Philadelphia, who have been playing here
during the engagement of the Ravels on their
own boards, left our town on Saturday night.
With a permanent population, rising fifteen
thousand, and numerous visitors during the
session, Harrisburg will doubtless, ere long,
regularly sustain a theatrical company of its
own.
There was a largely attended Sunday School
anniversary here, two evenings of last week;
a good affair in its way, with some fine
music and passable declamation: but in
speaking (if it be not immodest to say it,)
there was nothing quite so good as can be
done by my little pupil GEORGE PLUMMER^
as Harrisburg will probably acknowledge
when Tree enough of scarlet fever to make it
safe for him to come here.
Pennsylvania Magazine (of course some
thing is expected to be said of that,) is flour
ishing and healthy—thank you. Since my
last, several distinguished names have been
added to the list of contributors ; among
others, Judges CONRAD and LEWIS and Hon.
HENRY D. Moons, of Philadelphia; JOHN
SCOTT, Esq., of Huntingdon ; Hon. Speakers
TACGART and GETZ ; and his Excellency Gov.
POLLOCK. The Governor proves a most effi
cient agent. He has a prospectus in the Ex
ecutive Chamber, headed with his own name
and that of Secretary CunrrN, which he in
vites visitors to subscribe duly. This is one
feature, at least, in his administration which
" I have no hesitation in saying," has my
cordial support. Respectfully,
SPRUCE CREEK, March 20, 1857.
MR, EDlTOR:—llairing noticed that you
take a deal of interest in the cause of Tem
perance, and having a few moments leisure,
I thought it could not be employed much bet
ter than in writing an appeal to the Youth of
our Land.
DEAR YOUTES !—Be persuaded to strict tem
perance, by a consideration of its happy in
fluence on the health and vigor of both mind
and body. The most eminent Physicians
bear uniform testimony to this propitious ef
fect of entire abstinence. And the spirit of
inspiration has recorded, " lie that striveth
for the mastery, is temperate in all things."
Many striking examples might be adduced.
The mother of Samson, that prodigy of hu
man strength, was instructed by an angel of
God, to preserve him from the slightest touch
of "wine or strong drink, or any unclean
thing." And Luther, who burst the chains
of half EUrope, was as remarkable for tem
perance, as for great
. bodily and intellectual
vigor. Sir Isaac Newton also, while compo
sing his Treatise on Light, a work requiring
the greatest clearness of intellect, abstained
not only from spirits, but from all stimula
ting food. The immortal Edwards, too, re
peatedly records his own experience of the
happy effect of strict temperance, both on
mind and body. But not to multiply instan
ces, let any youth oppressed with heaviness
of brain, or dullness of intellect, thoroughly
try the experiment of temperance in all things,
united with great activity, and him
self, be surprised at the happy effect. The
youth who comes up to the resolution of en
tire abstinence forever, and persuades others
so to do, gives evidence of moral courage—
gives evidence that he has the power of self
denial—gives evidence of an intellect and
moral sense predominating over appetite, and
selfishness, and the laugh of fools; and, such
is the youth whom a virtuous and intelligent
community will delight to honor.

IMPROVEMENTS.-Our German population

Germans to' pile up the "rocks."
SCHOOL EXHIBITION.—The exhibition of
the school at Stonerstown, under the charge
of Mr. ,TA3tEs J. FEAT, we learn, came off in
fine style, and gave the utmost satisfaction to
parents and the public generally. This school
has been much advanced under the teaching
of Mr. Feas, and we arc assured that the
effect of this, his first exhibition of a school
under his charge in that locality, will be
highly beneficial, as it will beget a spirit of
rivalry among the surrounding teachers.—
We arc pleased with the success of our young
friend.
POUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
Arrival of the Steamer Alps, at Boston—De
feat of the Palmerston Cabinet in the _House
of Commons—Progress of the Chinese
War—neat!' between England and Persia
signed. •
BosToN, March 20.
The Cunrad screw steamship Alps, from
Liverpool at 5 P. M., on the 4th instant, ar
rived here en route for New York at 8:15
this morning. Her advices are four days la
ter than those recived by the America.
The Alps brings no mail, but full files of
papers for the Press, which were dispatched
South by the morning train, due in New
York about five o'clock this afternoon.
The Steamship Africa arrived out at Liv
erpool on the 2nd instant, and the steamship
City of Baltimore on the 3rd.
In the House of Commons, Tuesday, the
3rd inst.,the Government was defeated on
Mr. Coben's motion regarding the opera
tions at Canton.
The vote stood 263 for the motion, and 247
against it. It was not thought, however,that
Lord Palmerston would resign or dissolve
Parliament at present.
Sir J. T. Crampton, late British Minister
to the United States, has been appointed
British Minister to the King of Hanover.
The Paris Journal says: "We learn by the
latest news from China, under date 15th' De
cember, that the Court of Pekin has publish
ed a decree, prohibiting all subjects of the
Celestial Empire from trading with the Eng
lish. Disobedience is to be punished with
death."
The Paris correspondent of the Morning
Post, writes on Monday evening :
The basis of a treaty between Persia and
England are not yet signed. Hostilities are
suspended, but there is no regular armistice.
No representations have been, or will be
made at Teheran, by the friendly powers,un
til the basis of the treaty are signed.
Hong Kong dates, by the Oriental mail,
are to the 15th of January. There appears
MAX. GE,EENE.
to have been no further operations against
Canton. Depatches from Sir John Bowrinr ,
and Admiral Seymour give accounts of the
attempt made to re-take Teatotum Fort, and
of an attack upon the British shipping by a
vast number of Chinese junks.
The attack was well concerted, and made
at low water, when the large men-of-war
could not safely manoeuvre, but it was bril
liantly repelled. Sir Michael Seymour had
thought it wise to abandon his post at the
Dutch Folley and the Factory Gardens, and
had strengthened his position at the forts
lower down the river. Five hundred men
were expected at Singapore.
The details of the massacre of the Europe
ans on board the Thistle are communicated
in these despatches. On the 12th of Janua
ry the whole of the suburbs west of Canton
were burnt by the British forces.
A large fire had also taken place inside the
city. The Manclarines have issued in vari
ous districts the most blood-thirsty edicts
against the English, and have offered large
rewards to those who may succeed in assasi
nations or incendiarism in Hong Kong.
All the Chinese have been ordered to quit
the service of foreigners, and return to their
homes; and so powerful is the mandarin sys
tem, that disobedience entails much trouble,
if not positive destruction, upon the relatives
of the offender. The consequence is, that
nearly all the Chinese servants have left or
are leaving.
PARIS, Tuesday afternoon, March 3.—The
Treaty with Persia was signed here to-day.
The London Times says war between Eng
land and Spain is inevitable.
The Spanish Ministry have addressed a
note to the Representatives of Spain at the
European Courts, explaining the quarrel
with Mexico. The expedition to concentrate
at Havana will altogether consist of thirty
vessels of war, and will have a numerous
army on board. The Spanish government de
plores the necessity of resortinc , to such mea
sures towards a nation united to Spain in
blood, language and religion, but it hopes
everybody will understand the obligation it
is under to avenge the national dignity.
Latest.
A letter from Paris says that the Neufch
atel affair is not improving, and from what
we can learn all the parties concerned are in
a very bad humor with each other.
The Emperor Napoleon cannot but feel
mortified at being duped. by the King of
Prussia.
A Hamburg letter of Saturday, Feb. 28,
says :
" Merchants here have received private
news from Hong Kong and Singapore, by
the overland mail, of a most alarming de
scription. The bombardment and conflagra
tion of Canton had excited the Chinese to a.
general movement against all Europeans, and
the Chinese populace were begining to show
a courage quite unwonted, and from which
danger is to be apprehended.
The movement was not confined to Canton
alone, but had become visible at Singapore.
The English and German residents of Singa
pore have been obliged to arm themselves
against attacks in the streets from the infu
riated Chinese, who were joined by the Ma
lays.
The Hamburger Bonsen7talle states posi
tively that it has received advices from Hong
Kong, to 2 o'clock P. M., of the 15th of Jan
uary per steamer Maria.
The fire produced in the outskirts of Can
ton by the British Bombardment, had exten
ded itself to the city, and the latter had be
come one sheet of flame.
VALUE OF TIME.—The Roman Emperor
when he said, "I have lost a day;" uttered a
sadder truth than if he had exclaimed, "I
have lost a kingdom."
Napoleon said that the reason why he beat
the Austrians was, that they did not know
the value of five minutes. At the celebrated
battle of Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the
point of being decided against him. lle saw
the critical state of affairs, and instantly took
his resolution. He dispatched a flag to the
Austrian head quarters, with proposals for
an armistice. The unwary Austrians fell
into the snare, and for a few minutes the
thunders of battle were hushed. Napoleon
seized the precious moments, and while amu
sing the enemy with mock negotiations, re
arranged his line of battle, changed front,
and, in a few minutes, was ready to renounce
the farce discussion for the stern arbitrament
of arms. The splendid victory of Rivoli was
the result.
The great moral victories and defeats of the
world often turn on minutes. Crises come
—the seizing of which is victory, the neglect
of which is ruin. Men may loiter, but time
flies on the wings of time, and all the great
interests of life are speeding on with the sure
and silent tread of destiny.
