THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GLOBE.
HARRISBURG, April 20th, 1857
DEAR GLOBE : Last Friday, being a fine
bracing day, a fair friend and I did ourselves
the pleasure -of running out to Mechanics
burg, for a look at the valley scenery of Cum
berland.; in a most expansive view of which
is located the boarding school of the author
I. D. Rupp. From the observatory of this
institution, the vision sweeps unobstructed
over many a fertile acre, from the Blue to the
South Mountain.
This school has merits which make it well
worth a visit from those who have children
to send from home. Both sexes are educated
In common ; and the healthful influence of
such association in the recitation, music and
dining rooms, and upon the play-ground, is
manifest in the neat and orderly appearance
of the pupils, their considerate bearing to-
Ward one another, and the light of cheerful
iess which seems to pervade the atmosphere
and impart a fresher life to each elastic move
ment.
On Saturday evening, we enjoyed a lecture
on National Poetry by Captain G. W. CUTTER,
author of the " Song of Steam." It was• a
triumphant vindication of the high and holy
uses of song, by one who has felt in the mu
sical throbbings of his own breast, the truth
that
"Gov o'er all hearts
Bath set the Poet's heart on high."
One of our recent novelties, Miss Julia Pas
trana, has been paying her respects to Juniata
ans—'with her hairy chin and protruding
,gums " grinning ghastly a horrible smile" at
you. •
In Broadway, New York, I had passed the
sigiowhich announced this anthropological
wonder, a hundred times with indifference ;
'but, in Harrisburg, I felt and yielded to a de
sire to look in upon and compare this natural
curiosity with memoranda of the dog-chub
and your asinine cotemporary of the auricu-
Lar development. And now lam satisfied
that, whatever else she may be, Miss Julia
has nothing of the Digger Indian in her com
position ; therefore her printed story is apoc
ryphal. She seams more nearly related to
my Rocky Mountain fellow citizens, the griz
zly bears. There certainly is something ex
ceedingly bearish in her manner. But I
take it that she is, after all, only an " ugly
nigger ;" and were not the Wilmot Conven
tion of so late date, her parentage might
readily be traced to the Know Nothing and
Republican amalgamation. It has been said,
there is no deformity of nature without its
atoning glory ; so of the Pastrana—she
dances gracefully, in her style much resem
bling the celebrated Russian, Yrca Mathias.
Tier singing, however, is rather on the opera
tic peacock order. But doubtless, you have
all seed and heard her by this time, who are
better able to decide upon her qualities than
I. As to that addition to the show which
was spoken of in your last number, I suggest
ed as much to the keeper when here, that no
modern menagerie could be considered com
plete. without it ; and through your interven
tion it is trusted that the negotiation for the
quadruped will prove entirely successful.—
Should its " worthy friend" be caught also,
it would be a long dog's age before such a
three would meet again in the same cage.—
The like has not been witnessed since the
days of Baalam even until now.
Our legislators on Capitol Hill are double
teaming it of late—holding sessions from nine
in the morning until one, from three to five
in the afternoon, and from seven till ten at
night. Not a little of strong talking has been
done latterly on the question of the sale of
the Main Line ; members occasionally insin
uating as hard things of each other as born
teose editors have been known to say•—away
from the Juniata, of course.
Apropos of legislators, some penster has
been sketchinc , them in the columns of the
Pennsylvania Inquirer. As a specimen of
how he does it, permit me to segregate from
his portraiture of the Huntingdon represen
tative :
."Anziong the members not yet mentioned
in my sketches; is Dr. WINTRODE, of Hunang
•don county. He is full six feet in height,
.and powerfully but symmetrically built. He
is, I presume, thirty-five years of age. He
has a large fine typo of head and face. His
hair is of a light hue, and his eye large and
.blue. He is one of the finest looking men in
the House. Gentlemanly and kind in his de
portment, yet he is withal somewhat quiet
.and reserved in his manner. His step and
bearing are firm, and indicate that he is a
man of resolution—one who when he deter
mines upon anything will be certain to carry
it out.—only gathering strength from opposi
tion. When he speaks, which is seldom,
without any pretensions to oratory, he ex
plains himself clearly and well. This is his
second year. He has represented faithfully
the interests and wishes of his constituents.
He is in politics an American, and adheres
'strictly to his party."
-Although the Doctor and your obedient are
. ,
volitically at loggerheads, we meet upon'the
common basis of a mutual appreciation of
, oysters and pretzel; and upon these occasions,
I have found him urbane and companionable.
.But 'there are very many gentlemen among
the Democracy of Huntingdon, some one of
whom wnshould be glad to welcome here in
stead, at - the opening of the next Legislative
session. Though personally, I see nothing
very objectionable in Dr. W., except that_ he
won't "explain" when the Jou' rnal wants
him to. •
I had almost forgot to mention the really
exciting topic in Harrisburg news—the arri
val of the steamboat ; a high pressure, draw
ing ten inches of water, letting off steam with
a prodigious fuss, and carrying a star-spangled
banner almost capacious enough to swamp
her. This miniature representative of the
genius of Fulton upon his native river, arri
ved under our old turnpike bridge, with a
band of music on board, one evening of last
week ; and the riverside was soon thronged
with eager spectators. Since, it has been all
the go ; and it is rather pleasant to paddle
about on this noisy little skiff, among the
woody islets of the Susquehanna—or would
be pleasant, were not the weather so dismal.
It rains, and hails, and sleets, and snows al
ternately, and sometimes simultaneously. I
am weary waiting, longing for the coming of
the Spring; and if something is not done to
promote the growth of vegetation towards
June, it wouldn't be bad if the comet should
give our old planet a cabin passage to some
summer orbit. Yesterday was wintry enough
to freeze up even the indignation of an in
jured dog-chub; and tc-day is worse and more
of it.
Yesterday was Sunday with us ; and Pro
fessor Schaff, of the Mercersburg Theological
Seminary, preached Dutch and English in
the German Reformed church. His sermons
were those of a thinker and progressionist.—
Among our clerical celebrities may be reck
oned Mr. Bartine, the eloquent new pastor of
the Locust street Methodist church. The
Catholic, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Mora
vian and Lutheran pulpits are also well filled.
Our oldtime friend, Davy Williams, preaches
to the Baptist congregation ; and Mr. Colder,
son-in-law of Rev.
,Winebrenner, is pastor of
the " Church of God." Mr. C. has been a
missionary to China; and enjoys the reputa
tion of an orientalist. He is my master in
Sanscrit—a study that must be gone through
with preparatory to that Journey in Asia,
which has been my dream of years, and upon
which I am bound to go as soon as the Penn
sylvania Magazine is well established—and
thatsit will be well established, seems now
about as certain as anything in the future
can be; albeit the venture has been made
with many misgivings.
For some weeks past, when the weather
has . permitted the wholesome exercise of
walking, my footsteps have sometimes been
directed to Mount Kelm. Cemetery, and as
often as I have gone there, I have stood with
s'n.rowful heart by Willie's Grave. During
the past season, Death has raised many
mounds all over this beautiful burial-place—
the sickle of the Gray-beard has indeed gath
ered an abundant harvest
, of hoary beads,
budding infancy, and manhood and woman
hood in the bright consummate flowering of
life—but it seems to us that the grave has
not closed over another so fair a head, or
destiny so rich with promise, as that of "the
little boy who died." But why repine, as
we support one another's feeble steps on
through the dim valley of this world, because
anon some lovely spirit of our pilgrim band
finds its wings and bursts into the fulness of
an angel's life ?
I never ramble along the paths of a grave
yard, but that my soul saddens, because of
the necessity to war with perishing men—
such handfuls of dust as there lie moulder
ing beneath the tread of the living. Yet
such arc the obligations which the journalist
owes to society, that he must needs wear the
helm and shield of a true warrior's soul, and
oftentimes couch the bearded lance of satire;
but let him beware, lest in low humiliating
contests with the narrow-minded, he be
drawn into the lists of personal vindictive
ness, and forget to exercise the magnanimity
of a noble nature.
Across the fields, within a short walk from
Mount Kalma, is the State Insane Asylum
—where man's glorious intellect is tranced
and shrouded in living forms. Charles Fen
no Hoffman is an inmate of this institution
—incurably mad. Good Gun! what a light
went out from our mortal firmament when
his soul's sight was blinded. When a little
child, I have sat at the feet of this Gamaliel
of literature; nor can I ever forget the ex
quisite pleasure with which, in my tenth
year, I read and dwelt upon the graphic pic
tures of his "Winter in the West." They
shaped my early dreamings of the wide won
drous Valley of the Mississippi, and became
incorporate with all my aspirations for the
free life of a wilderness adventurer. And
here is who wrote those glowing words—an
emaciate, stricken type of life-in-death.—
Other masters of the harp and pen, whom
my boyhood wildly loved, and almost wor
shipped—whose songs were the music that
lulled my reveries through many a lonely
summer day—Bryant, and Longfellow, and
Clarke, and Irving—these I have met eye to
eye, and in the friendly grasp of hands have
felt the recognition they accord to a younger
brother in the great army of letters—one
who has not hoped to win their starry chap
let; yet would humbly seek to make his life,
like theirs, a, record of the Useful and Good.
There seems to have been a fatality at
tending most of those whose names mingle
with my memories of the West. Aubrey
and Williams have sunk beneath the bullet
and the knife; brave comrades were they in
past scenes of wildest peril. And young
I3enton, the only son of the old Senator, who
became my room-mate at college, when fresh
from his first boyish journey over the Plains,
with Fremont—whose frequent delineations
of those - .blooming landscapes made them
familial to my mind's eyo before I traveled
there. llc too, poor Randolph Benton ! in
E=399
the pride of young manhood, rests in a,prai
rie grave. Whilst he whose written words
were, among the strongest lures that led me
a wanderer - beyond the Allegany—the gay,
talented, brilliant Hoffman, I meet here, for
the first time, in the capital of my native
State—a maniac. What a world of lights
and shadows is this of ours
Yours truly,
MECHANICSBURG, April 19, 1857.
DEAR GLOBE:—Writing a communication
for the Globe, appears to me much like an
swering the letter of a friend, as it comes
regularly to hand, containing all the impor
tant news from home ; and I was nearly blun
dering into an error, in beginning this, by
saying that I was in good health, except a
bad tooth-ache, and hoped you were enjoying
the same blessing. But, speaking of letters,
reminds me that I have not received any
lately. Perhaps my correspondents are not
acquainted with my whereabouts; and, as
they are all readers of the Globe, I will here
inform them, that the address of their quon
dam friend is, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland
county; and that all letters will be gladly re
ceived, and duly responded to by your obse
quious and humble servant.
Our school is fastly filling up. There are
now between fifty and sixty students in at
tendance ; so you see there are a great many
of the same opinion as myself, that is, that
the Cumberland Valley Institute is situated
in one of the most pleasant places in the
State ; and, under its present management,
the facilities for learning are not easily sur
passed. The other morning, while "laboring
through" a noun of the third declension,
which, like old yarn, contains a great many
ends, I was agreeably surprised by the an
nouncement of the arrival of my excellent
friend, MAX. GREENE, Esq. He looks well,
and does not appear to be in the least fright
ened at the recent threats of the "chubs."—
We spent the day pleasantly, of course. Ac
cording to his custom of "seeing all that's to
be seen," wherever he is, we went up on to
the observatory of the Academy, to take a
view of the surrounding country ; and after
wards strolled out to the cemetery,
To view the place, where the monster Death,
Brings great and small, by its blasting breath.
He expressed himself as highly pleased with
our institution, and the appearance of the
town, and promised, before he left, to favor
us with an address, when he would visit us
again
We had a visit this week from one of your
Sam and Sambo editors, in the capacity of a
book agent. He appears to be quite conten
ted in the pursuit of this business ; and I
have not the least doubt it is a good deal
pleasanter than attempting to gull the Amer
icans of Huntingdon county into the support
of the Union, alias the Republican ticket.
The citizens of Mechanicsburg are quite a
progressive people. Their streets are now
being laid with water pipes. They have
built a reservoir, and brought water from a
considerable distance, at a great expense, to
supply the town with fresh water. It would
not be a bad idea for the citizens of the "an
cient borough" to follow suit.
I had intended to give you a description of
my room and its contents, in some of these
rambling epistles, and would do so here, but
feel more disposed to cover my ears with both
hands and put out, as there is some one prac
tising on a melodeon immediately over head,
making a noise equal to sheet-iron thunder ;
and right across the hall, two boys making
attempts to play on the violin, producing
about as discordant music as forty cats in a
dark night, so that writing any more at this
time, is out of the question, but as this is
not study hour, every one is privileged to
amuse himself as he pleases, and I shall leave
them to play for their own edification, and I
will go out and join some of the students who
are engaged in a game of ball.
Yours, musically,
B****.
Hon. Wm. B. Reed.
The President has conferred the important
appointment of Minister to China, on the
Hon. William B. Reed, of Philadelphia.—
This is a high honor well deserved, and we
are gratified that the eminent services render
ed to the Democracy in the recent struggle
for the Union and the Constitution, by the
leaders of the Old Line Whig party, are duly
appreciated by Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Reed
has heretofore occupied a prominent position
in the Whig party,—but when that party
was broken up by the inroads of Know No
thingism and. Black Republicanism, he, in
common with many other true patriots of his
party, rallied in their strength to save the
Union from danger and destruction ; and to
their noble conduct, are we in a great meas
ure indebted for the glorious triumph which
crowned our efforts in the recent Presidential
election. The Old Line Whigs, therefore,
had strong claims upon Mr. Buchanan and
the Democratic party, and that the President
fully appreciates the obligations we are under
to them, is clearly indicated by the tender of
responsible foreign missions to Messrs. Clay
and Reed.
The mission to China, especially at this
particular crisis, is one of immense import
ance and responsibility. The President, we
doubt not, has been peculiarly fortunate in
his selection. Mr. Reed is a thoroughly edu
cated and highly accomplished gentleman—
of great firmness, sagacity and prudence.—
The vast interests of our country and the
honor of the nation will be safe in his hands,
and we have no doubt that, as a Diplomatist,
he will fully come up to the standard of either
of his contemporaries.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Reed will accept
the appointment thus kindly tendered him by
the President, and that the whole country
will have the benefit of his ripe judgment
and eminent ability in that important Mis
sion.
P. S. A V v ashington letter says that " the
Adminis+Tation have been led to believe that
MAX. GREENE
Mr. Reed will accept the place to their great
satisfaction. They have offered to give him
full powers—he to act, in fact, in the place of
the Government for the time being. He goes
empowered to use the naval force for the pro
tection of our interests, and to unite with
other nations in attempts to procure for the
commercial world, by peaceable means, en
larged commercial intercourse with China.—
Moreover, he is allowed to choose any frigate
or ship of war in our service, for his special
use, not in conveying him to China, but for
occasional residence while there. He will
probably find it more safe and comfortable to
live on shipboard than on the land."

At his residence, on Broad Top, Huntingdon county, Pa.,
on Sunday evening, 12th inst., after a short illness,Mr.
EDIVEki U. BRADLEY, aged 28 years, 4 months, and 12 ays.
Each day, some pearl drops from the jeweled thread of
friendship; some lyre to which we have been wont to lis
ten, is hushed forever. Each day the chills of death passes
o'er some family circle, and blights and withers some object
of the tenderest love. Yet such is life. Man is the crea
ture of a moment; as it were, a flower which blooms only
to decay.
In the death of Mr. Bradley, a largo circle of relatives
and friends are called to mourn the loss of one who had
won the esteem and love of all who knew him. We who
knew him and mourn his loss most, enter deeply into the
feeling that he is safely sheltered in the arms of his Savior.
Then often at the close of even,
We will breathe a silent prayer,
And lift our streaming eyes to heaven,
For we know his Spirit's there.

viz :
Said Nickoles had on, when be left, a black cloth cap,
black coat and pants, none of which were much the worse

black whiskers, (if he has not shaved them off,) deep black
eyes, black heart, and not in the right place, consequently;
stout built, weighs about 180 lbs., and is about 25 years old.
This notice is not intended to have the scamp apprehen
ded, but to caution the public, and especially my brother
Tradesmen, against the imposter.
And to add insult to injury, I have every reason to be
lieve that the said Nickoles, influenced and decoyed from
my employ, a young Irish boot maker, who also left in
debted to me some sixty dollars. Said Nickoles left sun
dry other bills unsettled, among which is one of $3 or $lO,
due a poor negro woman for washing, which, of itself, is
sufficient to brand the villian with infamy. He attached
himself to the Church, to enable him more fully to prac
tice his rascality upon the people here. He is a shoe ma
