}The latest news from Old Berks is im
portant. The editor of the only English
Democratic paper in that county is giving a
life-like picture of the political character of
J. GLANCY JONES, Member of Congress from

GEN. SIMON CAMERON.-----The Huntingdon
American, Harrisburg Telegraph, and some
two or three other opposition papers in this
State, have already hoisted to their mast
heads, the name of this gentleman, as their
choice fur President, in 1860. We wouldn't
be surprised to sec Gen. CAMERON the "Peo
ple's Candidate" in '6O. There have been
men of less ability than Gen. C. elected to
that high position.
LIE WARE SratNos.—We are pleased to
learn from many of our citizens who have
visited the Springs this season, that they are
now fixed up in good style, and that the pro
prietor, Mr. llEttn, gives full satisfaction to
all. We also learn that a number of families
have engaged rooms at the Springs for the
season. Melts run to and from the Springs
daily. See advertisement in hnother column.
EMORY . PorsAL, youngest son of Rev.
.TORN POISAI„ was drowned in the river at
Williamsport, on the 21st inst. He, in com
pany with other boys, went in to bathe, and,
venturing beyond his depth, was unable to
return. llis companions were too much
alarmed to render him any assistance. ills
body was recovered during the evening, and
kept till his sorrow-stricken parents arrived
to convey his remains to New York.
Hos. Wm. Mo.vrGomEay.—This gentleman
has been nominated for re-election to Con
gress by the Democracy of the Twentieth dis
trict, composed of the counties of Washing,-
ton, Fayette and Green, by a majority of 1,807
of the Democrats of the district, which shows
that the Honorable gentleman's course in op
position to the Lecompton swindle, is approved
by the majority of our party in that district.
The counties composing the district were mis
represented in our State Convention by Le
compton Democrats.
Fouttru ouLTUltY.—Preparations are making
in almost every city, town and village in the
United States, for a proper celebration of this
glorious day. The "ancient borough" will
be full of "noise and confusion" on that day.
Some of our big guns will be fired off, and
any number of smaller ones will fill up the
day with patriotism and confusion. The 4th
coming on Sunday, it will be celebrated here
on Saturday—and at Broad Tup City and Coal
moat on Monday, where the purest air and
the finest scenery in the State will be found
and Hotel accommodations not surpassed this
side of Philadelphia. Excursion tickets will
be sold on the Huntingdon and Broad Tup
road on Saturday and Monday, at half the
usual rates to and from all rogular stations.
IMPROVEMENTS.-Dr. B. A. MILL - ER, and
TnEo. H. CREMER, Esq., have commenced the
erection of two large brick dwellings on Hill
street, below the Court House.
Our borough fathers are malting prepara
tions to greatly improve hill street. It needs
it—particularly at the points where the im
provements are to be made.
The most beautiful improvement in the art
of printing, is that of printing in colors at
the "Globe Job Office."

The August Vote in Kansas
Gov. 'Denver has issued a proclamation, fix
ing definitely the arrangements for holding
the election in Kansas to decide the accept
ance or rejection of the propositions submit
ted by the English bill. It is as follows:
rnocLA m AT lON
DJ the electors of the Territory of Kansas:—
By virtue of an act of Congress, entitled
"An act for the admission of the State of
Kansas into the Union," approved May 4,
1858, and in accordance with the instructions
of the Board of Officers authorized to carry
the provisions of said act into effect,
I, James W. Denver, GoNernor of the Ter
ritory of Kansas, do hereby proclaim and
make known, that on Monday, the 2d day of
August next, the qualified electors of the Ter
ritory will assemble at their various places of
voting, and then and there cast their votes
for or against the proposition by said act of
Congress submitted, in accordance with the
rules and regulations adopted by said board
on the 2d day of June, 1858, and which are
hereto attached, the same having been re
ported by a committee of three, and on that
day adopted by the board.
J. W. DENVER
Attest, Hum S. WALSH,- Secretary.
Lecompton, K. T., June 2, 1858.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
Whereas, The second section of an act of
Congress, passed May 4, A. D. 1858, entitled
"An act for the admission of the State of
Kansas into the Union," provided that the
Governor, United States District Attorney,
Secretary of the Territory of Kansas, Presi
dent of the Council, and Speaker of the House
of Representatives, are constituted a Board
of Commissioners to carry into effect the pro
visions of the said act, therefore the said
Board of Commissioners do hereby declare
that the proposition contained in the said act
of Congress shall be submitted to the people
of Kansas for acceptance or rejection, on the
first Monday of August A. D. 1858.
At the said election the voting shall be by
ballot, and by endorsing on his ballot as
each voter may be pleased, "Proposition ac
cepted," or "Proposition rejected."
The sheriffs of the several counties, by
themselves or deputies, are required by the
said act of Congress to attend the judges at
each of the places of voting, for the purpose
of preserving peace and good order; Each
voter shall vote only in the county in which
he resides, or the one to which his county
may be attached by the board.
Each person must have resided in the Ter
ritory at least six months previous to the first
Monday of August, 1858, in order to be en
titled to vote.
This settles the question in regard to the
clay, as the time designated is the second of
August. As the State election takes place in
Missouri upon the same day, the chances of a
fair election in Kansas are altogeteher favora
ble. There will be too much voting to he
done at home fur evil-disposed individuals to
leave one State to go into another to tamper
with the ballot-box. The result is, however,
a foregone conclusion, as, in spite of any
reasonable amount of ballot-box stuffing, the
rejection of the English swindle will be car
ried by a majority of six or eight thousand
votes.
The committee who prepares the plan of
submission have wisely guarded against the
repetition of the John Calhoun style of elec
tion performances. Whatever be the result,
there will be a positive certainty of its being
legitimately ascertained and promptly pub
lished to the people. There can be no mys
terious concealment and holding back of the
returns in order to compass unholy ends, as
was done by the chief of the factionists en
gaged in maintaining the Locompton iniqui
ty in Kansas. We publish the distinct in
structions upon this important point, by
which it will be seen that one copy of the
certified returns must be forwarded to the
President of the Territorial Council, who is
a free-State man, and will see that justice is
done :
INSTRUCTIONS TO JUDGES OF ELECTIONS
" There are appointed three Judges to
each precinct, who shall, before entering
upon the discharge of their duties, take an
oath to perform faithfully the duties of their
office, shall provide ballot-boxes, shall appoint
two clerks, who shall also take the oath re
quired by law ; and the said judges shall
open said election at 8 A. M., at the place
heroin designated, and close the same at sun
down. In case any of the judges fail to at
tend, the voters in such precinct are hereby
authorized to supply their places. The said
Judges shall make out triplicate returns or
said election, seal up and transmit two copies
of the same, within five days, to the probate
Judge of their county, olio shall within ten
days, forward one copy of the same to the
Governor of the Territory, at Lecompton, and
the other to Carmin W. Babcock, President
of the Council, at Lawrence, and the third
shall be retained by the Judges of the elec
tion."
With fair laws and an honest set of officers
to enforce their execution, and with a certain
ty that any frauds in the official results will
be detected by the true representatives of
the people's will, there need be no reason to
fear any illegal voting. The "game will not
pay for the candle" under the present pro
gramme.

Why Don't You Come to Iowa?
[Correspondence of The Globc.3
WEST LIBERTY, lONVIL, June 17, 1858
MR. EDITOR:—I would wish to have you
insert a short letter in your paper in order
to give your patrons a few of the facts rela
ting to our little town, and the country sur
rounding it. While we were in the East, we
saw a great many men in the heavy timber
ed portions of different States, who had just
commenced to open farms. Some had one,
others from two to five acres cut out, with a
small cabin to shelter them from the pelting
storms. I think the stumps, upon an aver
age, could not have been more than from ten
to twelve feet apart, with an abundance of
water between them. In many instances
the trees were of advantage in keeping the
feet dry, by stepping from log to log. There
the poor fellows were hacking away, in hopes
of reaping the fruits of their labor some ten
or fifteen years in the future; but before that
comes to pass, all who do not possess iron
constitutions will certainly have life worked
and chilled out of them. Well, then, why
not come to _lowa, where you can have a first
rate farm in two years, with comparatively
little labor or expense. Here arc thousands
of broad acres as rich as ever the sun of
heaven shone upon, uncultivated, without a
stump or a stone in the way, with plenty of
timber in the adjoining groves to fence it.—
Upon these high, rolling prairies we are not
annoyed with chills and fever as the people
are in timber countries. A more healthy
cannot be found anywhere. Many persons
who were broken down in the East, have re
covered their health by coming to lowa.
But some of our friends may ask to what
part of lowa would you recommend us to
emigrate. At once we would say come to
Muscatine county, not that we think the land
any better here than in other portions of the
State, but we know that it is full. as good ;
then, there are other advantages here that
but few, if any other parts of the State, are
in possession of. This is one of the first and
oldest settled counties in the State; the peo
ple of this community, are, as a general
thing, moral and respectable; there are good
facilities for educating your children, with
many other conveniences. The Mississippi
and Missouri Railroad is in successful opera
tion through this place on to lowa City.—
We have both moral and speculative induce
ments to bring emigrants from the East.
The town of West Liberty is located forty
five miles west of Davenport and . seventeen
west of Muscatine City, and fifteen east of
lowa City on the M. & M. 11. R. before men
tioned, and surrounded by a country on every
side that cannot be surpassed anywhere.
We hope our eastern friends, yin flock
around our standard here; we design to have
this whole country settled and built up by
friends of the cause of education. It will be
to the interest of all of them to make West
Liberty a rallying point. Never settle in
the West -without seeing our town and the
country around it; then, if you do not like
it, we shall not insist upon your staying. It
certainly is an extra point fur doing a nice
and good business. Then, my advice to you
all is, to do as I have done—try it, and prove
it fur -yourselves. S. LEAI3IIART.
The Warm Springs
[For the ITunthigilon Globe.]
MR. EDITOR :-I feel it to be a duty, as
well as a pleasure, to send you a brief notice
of the Warm Springs, now kept by Cul. ,Tso.
11 HERD. I wish your readers to consider
it not as a puff paid for, (of course you never
do such things, but some editors do) but as
an acknowledgment of gratification at the
transformation the Springs have really un
dergone. Gen. WILSON has fitted up tile
house and the grounds in a manner evincing
at once his taste, and regard for the comfort
and pleasure of visitors. Col. HEan is a
gentleman, and shows you at once that he
understands how to obtain patronage, and to
retain it, viz. : by deserving it. Ills table is
just such an one as it does a man good to sit.
down to, and I have both seen and felt how
highly his guests appreciate it. If any one
wishes to see a true compliment paid to a
landlord, or perhaps I should say a landlady,
let him take a look at the Col.'s guests dining
or taking tea. The spring chickens and the
el ceteras disappear with astonishing rapidity.
In short, take it ail together, the house, the
grounds, the baths, and the clever landlord
and lady, and no one need wish for a more
comfortable and pleasant place to spend a
few weeks of the - warm weather. The citi
zens of our town and county should con
gratulate themselves upon the re-opening in
such good style of this hitherto popular wa
tering place. While in the hands of Cul.
IfEnn, there can be no doubt of its generous
patronage, and his trouble will now be to
find room for his visitors. A GUEST.
THE NEXT PEESIDENCV.—The following
gentlemen have already been named in con
nection with the next Presidency:

New Flour Mill
The following is the report of the investi
o-ttinr, committee of millers sent on to this city
from Rochester, New York, to report on the
practicability,utility and advantages of Clark's
newly-issued patent Merchant Flour Mixing
and Distributing Apparatus, and combined
Grinding and Bolting Merchant and Flour
ing Mill, now in practical operation in the
printing establishment of Robb, Pile, & Mc-
Elroy, in Pemberton court, opposite the Ex
change, in the city of Philadelphia :
First. We believe it capable of making a
larger yield of flour from the grain than they
arc doing at the Rochester mills. Second, It
makes the best flour of its various qualities.
Min?, It takes, we believe, not over six-horse
power to turn it. Fourth, It ground when we
were present, two barrels of flour per hour,
on French burr stones, only 3G inches in di
ameter. Fifth, It cleans the offal effectually,
better than is usually clone in the Rochester
mills. Sixth, It occupies a space of only 30
feet in length, 8 feet high, and 4 feet wide,
and within this small space converts the grain
at a single operation, into extra family flour,
superfine flora•, fine flour, middlings, shorts,
ship-stuff' and bran; thus making it the most
complete process ever before brought into
practical and successful use. Seventh, It can
be attended with half the labor commonly
used in other mills. Eight/b, The process for
re-grinding,re-bolting, refining, and re-mixing
of all the lower grades of flour and middlings
into extra and superfine flour, is so admira
bly arranged in this mill that the miller is
enabled to make a more uniform brand of
flour, a richer flour, and a smoother and
more regularly ground flour, and producing
a larger yield than we have ever seen done
before. Its cheapness of construction is such
that every locality can be supplied with a
complete Merchant Flouring Mill for a few
hundred dollars ; whereas, under the usual
mode of constructing mills, it would cost as
many thousand as this one will hundreds of
dollars. Tenth, Its portability is such that
it can be transported from one location to an
other at a very trifling expense, a dray at
two loads being sufficient. Eleventh, All the
complicated machinery usually used in mills
is dispensed with. Consequently there is a
very large amount of power saved. Tivelfili,
Its adoption to every locality, with either a
large or small power, and to every section of
the United States makes it almost certain that
ere long this valuable invention must conic
into general use in every section of the coun
try, and it only requires a visit from these
desirous of embarking in the business to con
vince themselves of its great superiority.—
The patentee, Mr. Clark, can be consulted at
all times at his mill, in Pemberton court, at
the Exchange, in Philadelphia, in relation to
either the mills or county or State rights, fur
all parts of the United States and Europe ;
he invites all to eall.and see the mill in oper
ation. His address is Clark's Mill, flux 700,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.—Bullelin.
IVe find in /Verson's Phil2-a Counter
feit Detector, for July, the following important
items
TaAnr..---Business continues very moderate,
though there are exceptional cases of activity
in every branch. Very many houses are, and
have been, doing about their usual amount of
business, and in this fact afford the best proof
that their affairs are in good condition and
that they themselves are masters of their
business. In fact, it will, we think, be found
to be almost universally true, that in all
branches of trade, those whose ability, tact
and strength are in ordinary times employed
to drive their business, and who do not let
their business drive them, have experienced
but slight falling off in the amount of their
transactions, notwithstanding the severity of
the panic. With other houses, it is becoming
to be the order of the day, as it always is
with those above alluded to, to. have small
debts or none at all. There has been a very
general cutting down of expenses, also, which
will continue to exert a salutary influence
after the full tide of activity shall have again
set in.
MoN2v.—Notwithstanding the large pay
ments for United States Treasury notes, the
specie reserves of the banks keep up, the de
posit lines increase in a faster ratio than the
loans and discounts, and everything points to
continued ease in the money market for sev
eral months to come. Good paper is in de
mand in the commercial centres of the East
ern and Middle States at 4 to 6 per cent.
,65-,r-The sale of a portion of the canals
purchased by the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
company from the State of Pennsylvania, to
a well organized corporation, which will not
only work the canal, and thereby benefit the
trade of that section of the State, but pay fur
it, and so secure the building of the much
needed railroad to Erie, gives universal joy
to the people of Pennsylvania.

THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY.---When we re
gard the present condition of the Democratic
party, its divisions and dissensions, its intes
tine feuds and its sectional quarrels, to dis
guise our fears and apprehensions for the fu
ture would be folly in the extreme. In Illi
nois we find almost hopeless division, violent
denunciation, and opprobrious epithets, are
applied by each section of the party to the
other, and the virulence of the press indicates
the violent antipathies of antagonistic parties
rather than the friendly and accordant sym
pathies of papers in the fellowshi poi the same
party. One is for Buchanan and another for
Douglas, one for Lecompton and another for
anti-Lecompton, and each denies to the other
the very rights they demand for themselves.
And thus, we fear, will be wasted away the
main strength of the Northern Democracy
upon a question involving no vital principle
Of party, but upon which the passions and
prejudices of partisans have become violently
arrayed. Will not the advisory voice of the
Virginia Democracy be regarded in this in
ternecine warfare? We claim no right to be
heard, save as the mutual friend of both par
ties, anxious for the honor and integrity of
every part of the National Democracy.
Victory is precarious in Illinois with the
Democracy united, while hopeless and shame
ful defeat is certain in the present distracted
condition of the parry.
The extremists of both sections of the Union
regard with pleasure the divided and bellig
erent aspect of the Illinois Democracy. The
Republicans of the North see their success
certain so long as this division is continued;
and the disnnionists of the South are rejoic
ing over the anticipations of a disrupted Union
by the hopeless defeat of the National De
mocracy in MO., The continued supremacy
of the Democratic party, and the hopes of the
Federal Union, alike appeal to the Illinois
Democracy to cease their quarreling, and to
unite upon a common platform in the support
of a common candidacy. We cannot believe
that such appeals will be disregarded by the
Democracy of Illinois, heretofore so faithful
to the great principles of the National De
mocracy. Judge Douglas should not be os
tracised by any portion of the Democracy.—
His great talents and indomitable energies
have reflected imperishable renown upon the
name of Illinois. He has fought manfully
in the cause of the National Democracy, and,
right or wrung upon the Lecompton question,
the glories of his past life and the usefulness
of his Senatorial position speak trumpet
tongued for his support by the united Democ
racy of Illinois. This Administration cannot
afford to see Douglas defeated. his late
timely rally in support of the powers of the
Presidentf
..m...ca..es a virtue regardless of the
promptings of personal phpie and obedient
to the suggestion of a patriotism commensu
rate with our whole Union. Ms is a master
mind ; and shall error (if it be error) upon
one question, deny to that mind a field for its
usefulness ? The defeat of Douglas would
indicate the impotency and imbecility of
senseless rage, rather than a calm-and con
siderate punishment for a grave political of
fence. Thus is Judge Douglas esteemed by
the Virginia Democracy. We know- that
many Democrats in Virginia disapproved of
his position upon the Lecomptolinueskiim ;
and, in the heat and excitement of tha
test epithets and reflections highly censurable
of Judge Douglas, were used, which ire h , pe,
in the calm hours of cool reflection, have been
regretted, if the honorable retraxit has not
already been made. But, whether this be so
or not, it is a matter of public history that
Judge Douglas has had ninny friends from
Virginia in the last Democratic National
Conventions, who urged his nomination with
power and eloquence. In the Baltimore Con
vention of 1552, the present Secretary of War
was the eloquent and powerful champion of
the Little Giant ; and, in 1856, in Cincinnati,
Messrs. Seddon, Powell, Bocock, Garnett, and
others voted for Stephen A. Douglas, and
against James Buchanan ; and, if their wi s hes
could have prevailed, the Convention would
have nominated the Illinois statesman upon
the issue of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, in
preference to Mr. Buchanan. These are mat
ters of public history, that sustain us in main
taining that Virginia has never been insensi
ble to the usefulness of Judge Douglas, and
hence we infer that she still cherishes affec
tion for the great statesman of the North-west,
and desires his return to the Senate, the field
of his usefulness.
The earnest desire of the - Virginia Democ
racy to sec our party united, its dissensions
quieted, its bickering, and quarrelings si
lenced, has induced us to advise our Illinois
brethren to conciliation, kindness, and com
promise. These suggestions are prompted
by no intermeddling spirit, but by the great
interest Virginia feels in all that threatens
the supremacy of the National Democracy.
Upon that party all her hopes of the National
Union are founded. With defeat, and the
success of a sectional Republican party, so
cession is inevitable. The knowledge of this
fact causes the extreme disunienists to rejoice
over every circumstance that divides and dis
tracts the National Democracy.
A prisoner escaped from the Wiscon
sin Penitentiary, lately, in a very ingenious
manner. He pretended to be sick, and was
therefore allowed the privilege of walking in
the yard. He then made a sort of an image,
cut the hair from his own head, decorated
the top of the image with it, and deposited
it carefully in his own bunk and took his
customary walk in the yard. At night the
watch looked into his cell and noticed him
as he supposed, reposing quietly in his ac
customed place. The next morning when
his cell was visited he was still somnolent,
and on account of his sickness was further
indulged. At noon, however, it was thought
about time he made some sign, and the watch
proceeded to stir him up—but—he wasn't
there.

A NEW CENT PIECE.—The Boston Post, in

thing of this kind is much needed to take the
place of that abominable abortion, the one

executed. We do hope that the Government
will adopt it."

Lynch Law in Texas---5 Persons Killed.
A Texas paper has the following: On
Saturday night, May 29, a. party of armed
men, supposed to be about thirty in number,
disguised in black and white masks, sudden
ly made their appearance at the Mission of
San Jose, distant four miles from San Anto
nio. In front of one of the houses in the
Mission-square two men were sleeping in the
open air, as is customary at this season.—
These men, Felipe Lopez and Nieanor Urdi
ales were taken into custody by the intru
ders, and a third, Pablo Longoria, hearing a
noise and coining to the door, was also seiz
ed. A portion of the armed party then en
tered the house, asking for Francisco llnizar.
In this house lay the corpse of a child, but a
short time dead, watched by some women.—
At first Iluizar could not be found ; hut on
one of the party striking a light he was
found hiding in the chimney. He was bro't
out and placed with the rest. After asking
some questions, and leaving a guard to pre
vent their being followed, the party, with
their prisoners in charge, left the Mission.-
I.'l.w:ceding, some distance, they halted, and
in the morning, the bodies of the four men,
whose names we have mentioned, were dis
covered hanging, two of them upon one tree
and two upon another. Three of these men
are stated to have only recently returned
from the penitentiary ; the fourth, Nicanor
Urdiales, is said to have belonged to Laredo,
mid had not long been a resident at the Mis
sion. The horrors of the night were not yet
ended. The party directed their course to
the Mission of Espadn, distant about five
miles from San Jose. On their arrival they
knocked at the door of Rafael - Menchaca y
Leal, and rousing him from his sleep, asked
him where the Garcias lived. Nut knowing
the purport of the visit, Menchaca pointed to
a house close by. The house belonged to an
old man named Teodoro Garcia, and on the
outside of it two of his sons were asleep.—
Roused by the clamor, the young men start
ed up and armed themselves. Several dis
charges took place, and Teodoro Garcia, com
ing to the door, exclaimed in Spanish, that
they were killing his boy, was shot through
the head, and died instantly. The poor
father, hastening to the protection of his
sons, was slain. The latter defended them
selves as long as their ammunition lasted,
and then fled. The other party also hurried
ly abandoned the place, one of them drop
ping his hat, which was left behind. It is
supposed that killing the old man Garcia
was not premeditated. The other victims
are said to be horse thieves. Of their guilt or
innocence we know nothing; but their execu
tion, in the manner described, was a violation
of the laws of God and man. The widow of
Iluizar, who was executed by the Lynchers,
is since dead. She was quite a young wo
man, and left three children, one of them an
infant six weeks old."
II IM TIMES IN KAN:3.15.-11,e Kansas
Herald of Freedom gives a discouraging view
of the times in Kansas. It says:—
"We pits the man who is compelled. to
raise money in'Kansas. We \l'ere told by a
money-lender, the other day, that he was re
ceiving from 10 to 20 per cent. per month fur
the use of money, and had been paid at the
rate of 20, 25 and 30 per cent. per month to
discount notes. The lowest rates, on good
paper security, for the use of money, seem
to range between three and five per cent. per
month."
r i Fe-At a recent term of the Federal Court
of the United States, Pontotoc, Mississippi,
the father of Nancy Wilson, of Virginia, a
young lady about sixteen years old, obtained
a judgment of $40,000 damages against Robt.
Wilson, of Mississippi, who was, and is, a
married man, for decoying his daughter away
from home and seducing her. It is said that
the defendant has transferred his property,
so that nothing can be made out of him, al
though at the time he committed the deed he
was a wealthy man.
CRAWS IN THE WEST.—The correspondents
of the Cinna. Gazette in different parts of the
West, generally agree that both wheat and
corn have been very seriously injured by
the long continued wet weather. In many
places they were still planting corn from the
15th to the 20th inst., the first planting hav
ing extensively failed.
