Public Officers—Criticism of their Acts.
When men are elevated to official stations
they become servants of the people; they are
expected to be representatives and executors
of the will of their masters, and in such po
sitions their official conduct is open to the in
spection of the publi.!. In examining the
conduct of an officer, all the facts in any par
ticular case should be carefully ascertained
and justly weighed, and conclusions drawn
only after such deliberate investigation.—
Candor should always be observed. Too of
ten men are condemned from a partial reve
lation or an unjust construction of the facts.
All examinations of the acts of an officer
should be confined to those done in an offi
cial capacity. Private life should never
be invaded. The public have no right to
tear from about a man the•shield of privacy
to expose his private opinions, or his ordina
ry conduct, just because he is an officer or
a candidate for elevation to some political
post.
The freedom of speech and the liberty of
the press guaranteed to every citizen who de
sires' to investigAte official conduct, has of
late days been so prostituted by journalists,
that it would seem that there is, in practice,
no limit to personal detraction, calumny and
abuse. The indulgence of writers fur the
press in scurrillity, never aided in their
moral education, and low personalities, false
representations, and vulgar abuse, seldom
injures the man at whom they were aimed.
There is sufficient latent morality and self
respect among citizens in almost every com
munity to turn public
. sentiment against an
indorsal of the abuse of individuals and pri
vate character in public newspapers. Then
he who fabricates and publishes ill - stories
about private citizens, public officers, or 'can
didates for office, although ho may gain_ the
point at which 'lie aims—the temporary inju
ry or depreciation of such -persons' reputa
tion—he as certainly receives the well mer
ited censure of the upright and honorable of
his follow-men. " Truth is mighty and will
prevail"—and although " slow of foot," will
ultimately develope itself to - the credit of those
in the right, and to the lasting condemnation
of the wrong-dobr.-
We doubt whether there over has
been_ as little party strife with the masses of
the parties in this county as in the present
campaign. Democrats, Whigs, Republi
cans,. Americans and Republican-Americans
tbroughoUt the county, with but very few ex
ceptions, arc cool and free from the least ex
citement. The results on the 2nd Tuesday
of October will be evidence of the personal
popularity and strength of the candidates
now before the people without respect to their
party attachments. If any of the gentlemen
put in nomination by the Democratic County
Convention should be successful, it will be
because they are stronger with their fellow
citizens than their opponents, and not be
cause they have party claims upon a majority
of the voters of the county. The uncalled
for and unjustifiable attacks made upon some
of the candidates of the Democratic party,
instead of injuring them, must certainly give
them strength with those of their fellow-citi
iens in the Opposition party who know such
charges to be false—and should they be
elected under such circumstances, their suc
cess could not with any degree of fairness,
-be claimed as a party victory. We shall look
anxiously for the returns, and if a majority of
,the voters decide against the best men, we
will agree that :party can exert sufficient in
fluence to defeat the sober and candid senti
ments of a large majority of the eitizeus of
the county.

Renewal of the Chinese War—Allied Squad
ron dveated-500 British killed and ?Donn-
CHINA
Admiral Hope arrived off Peiho river -on
the 17th of June, and found the -entrance
barred. An attempt was made on the 25th
to force a passage, when suddenly batteries,
supported by
. a. force of 20,000 men, were
unmasked, and opened _a destructive fire.—
After a..severe action, the squadron was com
pelled to withdraw,- with the loss of the gun
boats Cormorant, Lee, and Plover. Four
hundred and sixty-four were killed and woun
ded, , The . Fiench had Id-killed out of sixty.
The plenipotentiaries had returned to Shang
hae.
Seven officers - were killed and seventeen
wounded. Among the wounded was the Ad
miral. The details say that the mouth of
,the river was raked by the fire from the new
ly-constructed forts, amounting to ninety or a
hundred guns.
At 1,30 P. M., the signal for action was run
up,
The gun-boats Opossum and Plover pushed
in close to the first barrier. The guns of the
forts then open fire, and the action became
general. The fire of the Chinese, in weight
and precision, was such as had never before
been experienced. Every shot told, while
those of the British did, comparatively, but
little damage.
The troops were . ordered to land. As the
first boat touched the shore, the forts poured
out a perfect hurricane of shell, balls, and
rockets, which mimed down the men as they
landed. The sb supported them as well
as possible. Of the thousand men who lan
ded, barely a hundred reached the first of
the wide ditches, situated five hundred yards
from the river, and only fifty reached the
third ditch. They would have made an at
tempt to scale the walls, but the ladders were
either broken by the shot or stuck in the mud.
With one of the ladders that remained ten of
the men sprang forward, three of whom were
killed and five severely injured.
Orders were at last given to retire, and
while in retreat the men were shot down like
birds. llany of the boats were swamped by
the balls and not enough remained to carry
off the survivors. Several boats full of woun
ded men were struck and swamped.
Russian features were distinctly visible
among the men manning the Chinese batteries.
The Americans towed up several boats to
the scene of action and afterwards took a
number of men to their respective ships.
The following telegraph dispatch, in rela
tion to the China difficulty, had been pub
lished by the British Government
Admiral Hope arrived off' the Poiho river
on the 17th of June, and found that the for
tifications had been rebuilt, but no guns or
men were visible. The entrance into the
river was barred with booms and stakes.—
The plenipotentiaries joined the squadron
on the 20th, arel no notice having been taken
of the announcement of their arrival, an at
tempt was made on the 25th to force a pas
sage, when, on a sudden, batteries supported
by a mongrel force of apparently 20,000 men,
were unmasked, and opened a destructive
fire. After a severe struggle the squadron
was obliged to withdraw, with the loss of the
gun-boats Cormorant, Lee, and Plover, and
464 killed and wounded. The French had
fourteen killed and wounded out of 60.
The plenipotentiaries have returned to
Shaughae.
The rest of China was reported quiet..
No fears are entertained about Canton, but
the Tartar troops have been disarmed, as a
matter of precaution.
A further telegram mentions that seven
officers were killed and seventeen wounded,
Admiral Hope being among the latter.
Other telegrams confirm these particulars,
and one via Trieste, adds the following, " It
is stated that the American ambassador has
been admitted to Pekin."
Judge Douglas at Wooster, Ohio
It will be seen, from the letter which ice
give in another column, that the Democratic
meeting held yesterday at Wooster, Ohio, to
listen to Senator Douglas, was the greatest
deionstration that has yet been made in the
interior of the State. Judge Douglas .was
greeted with the same enthusiasm that attend
ed his progress through Southern Ohio, on
his way to Chicago. The popularity of Judge
Douglas among the masses of the people has
never been excelled by any-man since the
days of Gen. Washington. No one ever bet
ter deserved the appellation of the people's
favorite. When upon the track for President,
next year, he -will sweep the north-west as it
has not been swept since the Harrison torna
do of 1840. Judge Douglas embraced the
opportunity to make a concise reply to a re
view of his article in Harper, which lately
appeared in.
a the Washington Union. He ac
cused the author, of falsely misrepresenting
his position in several important particulars.
The energy and boldness of Judge Douglas'
speech will be generally admired, even by
the few persons who dissent from his doc
trines. The courage which he manifests in
proclaiming his views, both on the stump and
with the pen, is refreshing, indeed, when con
tracted with the contemptible non-committal
ism which distinguishes too many Presiden
tial candidates. He desires no one to take
him on his trust, but proclaims his opinions
everywhere. This is one reason why the peo
ple love and admire him.—Cincinnati En
quirer, Sept. 17.
HORRIBLE CRUELTY IN TUE BRIT.T.SII ARMY.
—The London Times gives the following re
port of a case of flogging in the British army
for desertion :
The first man, named Green, bore his pun
ishment as stated by an eye witness, " like a
true soldier," but the second, named Davis,
a young recruit, protested his innocence of
the crime of desertion, bellowed and scream
ed for mercy, and supplicated Col. To.lbott
and the medical officers, and others who were
present to have compassion on him, or he
should die. His back was covered with a
mass of large red, inflamed boils, which bled
profusely at every stroke, and reddened the
ground under his feet, upon which the cat
was ordered to be withheld for a few moments,
when, finding that his punishment was not
at an end, be gave vent to exclamation's for
mercy, and partly succeeded in delivering
himself, by force from the straps which bound
him to the halyards. The punishment was
again ordered to be continued, when at every
succeeding stroke his cries and exclamations
were most lamentable, insomuch that the of
ficers and men swooned away at the sicken
ing spectacle, and had to be carried into the
open air. One officer and upwards of twenty
non-commissioned officers and men, long in
the service, fainted, and others stopped their
ears and closed their eyes, lest they, too,
should become unnerved and be subject to the
reproach and ridiarlei of their comrades.
The Reduction of the State Debt.
[From the Lycoming (4azette.]
A short time since we adverted to the fact
of the State government advertising for bonds
of the commonwealth, to be redeemed with
surplus funds in the treasury. Agreeably to
that advertisment, the amount of bonds called
for was offered for redemption, and accord
ingly redeemed and canceled. As directed
by law, and annexed official proclamation is
made by the Governor, showing the amount of
the public debt paid off within the period
named, the total of which reaches the satis
factory figure of one million one hundred and
thirty-seven thousand one hundred and fifty
five dollars and thirty-six cents—all of which
has been redeemed Within the term of Gov
ernor Packer and about six weeks of the close
of that of his predecessor. It is only neces
sary to refer to this gratifying state of affairs
as compared with that existing but a few
years ago, when the State was obliged to bor
row money to pay the interest upon its debt
—to refute the blatter of asses against the
present Governor and the sale of the State
canals :

Reward of Honesty---Beautiful and
Touching Incident.
We find the following in the St. Louis Re
publican, of the 4th instant:
Johnny Moore is the name of a bright-eyed,
jolly-faced lad, twelve or fourteen years of
age, whose invalid widowed mother, living
on Morgan street, he helped to support by
the sale of newspapers, and by such errands
and small jobs as he may chance to fall in
with. Johnny, who is the hero of the pleas
ant and truthful incident we are about to re
cord, is extremely neat in his attire, though
his clothes have not always been of the best,
and may have shown, in sundry patches and
mended rents, the results of both poverty and
frugal care. In short, Johnny is just such a
bo3r•as we used to "read about" in Sunday
School'books.
Yesterday morning, bright and early, he
was trudging along Broadway, between
Franklin avenue and Washington street,
when he chanced to stumble against a large
pocket book, which he picked up and foun
to contain a large number of bank notes and
papers. While he was meditating on the
sudden riches he had amassed, and which he
had slid into a capacious pocket, or perhaps
racking his youthful mind whether to seek
for the owner or conceal his good fortune, a
gentleman rushed by him in an anxious, hur
ried, nervous manner, which convinced the
boy that he was looking for something, and
he thought he knew what.
"Have you lost anything ?" asked Johnny.
"Yes—my pocket book," was the gentleman's
answer ; "have you seen it ?"
The little fellow " expected " he had—he
didn't know, though. What kind of pocket
book was it ?
This led to an adjournment to a neighbor
ing store, where the flushed and almost
breathless individual "of the first part" pro
ceeded to say that the pocket book was a large
black one, containing $l2OO in bank bills and
some accounts, a strip of red morocco binding
underneath the flapping inscribed " Robert
Thomas, Covington, Ky." The description
tallied, and Johnny's eyes snapped with cheer
fulness, as he placed the treasure, just as he
had found it, into the stranger's hands ; and
we opine there vas greater joy in that one
act than ten thousand dollars could have pur
chased at the expense of a guilty conscience.
Mr. Thomas hardly seemed to know which
to feel most—relief on the recovery of his
money and papers, or gratitude to the lad
$14,550 00-,
$1,137,155 36
WM. F. PACKER
and admiration of his honesty. Taking
Johnny by the hand, whose bounding heart
(he knew not why) had by this time "splash
ed tears into his eyes," the gentleman took
him to a clothing store and dressed him out,
from top to toe, in a bran new suit. Then
proceeding to a jewelry store, he purchased
a good silver watch, upon which lie directed
to be engraved these Words : "Robert Thom
as to Little Johnny Moore. St Louis; Sept.
3, 1859. Honesty is the best policy." Not
even content with this the generous stranger
placed in a neat bead purse five twenty dol
lar gold pieces, which he directed the lad to
give to his mother.
We shall not attempt to portray the emo
tions of the • boy. " If his quivering lips and
choked utterance, and the smile that strove
so hard to get through the great watery globes
that trembled in his eyes, failed to tell what
was going on in his heart, how shall we tell?
Wild .Adventures of a Young Lady in
the Woods
The Grand Rapids (Michigan) Inquirer of
the 24th, relates the following almost tragic
occurrence :
On Thursday afternoon last a party of per
sons from this city went blackberrying be
low the village of Granville. One of the num
ber, Miss Marietta Fitch, became detached
from the rest of the party accidentally, and
was lost in the woods. Search was immedi
ately made as thoroughly as possible, even
as late as 12 o'clock Thursday night, but she
was not found until late on Friday evening.
She states that before she became separated
from her friends, she saw a wild hog, which
scared her, and she ran some distance into
the thick woods and there became lost, not
knowing which way to get to the road.
She then wandered about till she came to
the farm house of J. C. Rogers. Mrs. Rogers
then gave directions how to reach the plaster
mill below this city. The directions, howev
er, were erroneous. Miss Fitch, therefore,
only became more and more bewildered, in
endeavoring to follow out the directions.—
She says she heard the sound of men's voices
in the night, and the barking of dogs, but in
stead of making herself known, her fears
caused her to believe the voices were made
by wolves, and she climbed a small tree, re
maining there some time, she knows not how
long.
At length, in her wanderings she got into
a large corn-field near the Plaster Mill, and
adjoining the road between this city and
Granville, where she was discovered. A
teamster standing up in his wagon which was
passing along the road, first saw her, and
called aloud to a party of searchers. They
all proceeded to search the field at once.—
When she saw them, such was her mental
condition, that she ran away•from them.—
Upon being overtaken and stopped, at first
she was unable to recognize her o•ttn brother,
who was one of the party, so far had reason
been temporarily dethroned by her long con
tinual wanderings. Our citizens turned out
in large numbers to search .for her, and no
effort was spared to find the lost one. She is I
now at home. Rest and quiet will soon res
tore her to her usual condition.
Green Beans and Corn in the Winter.
[Correspondence of The Press.)
The Press of the 13th instant, tells how
somebody—some townsman, I opine, for we
country folk know better than that—contrives
to have green beans in the winter. Now, it
is all well enough to have them, but my wife
says that aint the way, and she knows. She
has a stone jar that holds just a bushel of
prepared beans. She has had it these twen
ty years, I believe, and she will always have
it full—and her way to fill it is this: First get
the beans, then string them, next cut them as
for present use, carefully rejecting all that
may be so old as to have the bean formed in
them; then•rub them well betweenyour hands
with fine salt, after which pack them in the
jar aforesaid, a layer of beans and a layer of
salt till the jar is full; tie a piece of oil cloth
over the top of the jar, and the beans are
ready for use. They will form a pickle for
themselves, and come out of the jar as fit for
use, three months afterwards, as the day they
went in. As for cooking, either soak them
over night, or change the water in boiling ;
boil slowly. I have heard my wife compli
mented on having beans so early by parties
eating her old ones, kept over as above set
forth. Try it, somebody.
Your correspondent don't tell how to have
the corn to cook with the beans. Shall I
give my wife's receipt? Get some sugar corn
—Stowell's evergreen is the best—scald it
two minutes and thirty seconds, to curdle the
juices only, not to boil it ; cut it from the cob,
and put it in jars in a pickle strong enough
to bear an egg; seal the jars. This corn will
come on the table as white and fair looking
as if taken from the field the day it is eaten.
In serving up, add a table-spoonful of sugar,
to compensate for the juices withdrawn by
the salt. Try them both ; they are not.ha.rd
to take, separate or mixed. W.
Chester county, Sept., 1859.
Fire at Easton—Circus Horses Burnt.
About five o'clock on Saturday morning, a
fire broke out in the stalk attached to the Uni
ted States hotel, at Easton, at the time prin
cipally occupied by the fine stud of Horses
attached to Dan Rice's Circus Company.—
Twelve of the noble animals perished—among
the number some of the most valuable. The
stable was two stories, built of brick and
roofed with slate. The fire was extinguished
with but little damage to the building, but
twelve of the noble animals perished from suf
focation and inhalation of the heated air.—
They were on the upperfloor, and it was found
impossible to rescue all thatwere there. The
condition of the horses found dead is represen
ted to have been distressing indeed, showing
distinctly their dying agony.
The fire is attributed to the bursting of a
fluid lamp, which it is supposed was knocked
down by one of the horses.
Two valuable dogs we're in the stable at
the time, and thought lost, but finally discov
ered in one corner of the building with their
heads deeply imbedded in the straw. They
were taken out unharmed. It is feared that
several more will die from inhalation of the
heated air. Mr. Rice has been indisposed
for some time, not being able to perform, was
present, and deeply affected by the misfortune
that had, befallen him. We have not hoard
the estimated loss, but it must be heavy, as
the horses lost are among the most valuable
of the collection, among the number being
what is known as the Wild " Horse."
The elephant was on the lower floor, and
it is said, when the door was opened, rushed
forth, throwing his trunk right and left. He
walked to a remote part of the yard, and,
turning round, stood gazing upon the scene
as if congratulating himself upon his fortu
nate and happy deliverance.
ne-. The tickets are now ready for distri
bution. Persons in town from the distant
districts ghould call and get a supply.

THE SALAMANDER SAFES OF PHILADELPHIA
AGAINST THE WORLD.
EVANS & WATSON
Have had the surest demonstration in the following cer
tificate that their manufacture of Salamander Safes has at
length fully warranted the representations which have
been made of them as rendering an undoubted security
against the terrific element:
Philadelphia, April 12th, 1856.
Messrs. livAss & WArsoN—Gentlemen—lt affords us the
highest satisfaction to state to you, that owing to the very
protective qualities of two of the Salamander Safes which
we purchased of you some few months since, we saved a
large portion of our jewelry, and all our books, papers, &c ,
exposed to the calamitous fire iu nanstead Place, on the
morning of the 11th instant.
When we reflect that these Safes were located in the
fourth story of the building we occupied, and that they
fell subsequently into a heap of burning ruins, where the
vast concentration of heat caused the brass plates to melt,
we cannot but regard the preservation of their valuable
contents as most convincing proof of the great security
afforded by your Safes.
We shall take much pleasure in recommending them to
men of business as a sure reliance against fire.

'S GERMAN BIT
TERS," the most remarkable medicine of the day, and
the many cures that have been performed with it in cases
of LIVER. COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA, NERVOUS DE
BILITY, and diseases arising from a disordered liver or
stomach, place it among the most astonishing discoveries
that have taken place in the medical world. The diseases
to which these Bitters are applicable are so universal, that
there are but few of our friends who may not test their
virtues in their owu families or circle of acquaintances,
and prove to their own satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines, deser
ving the public commendation. It is a fact that, in the
minds of many persons, a prejudice exists against what
ere called Patent Medicines; but why should this prevent
you resorting to an article that has such an array of tea
timonyto support it as lloofland's German Bitters? Phy
sicians prescribe it, Why should yau discard it? Judges,
usually considered men of talent, have and do use it in
their owu families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it; why should
not pouf Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to
the everlasting injury of your health ; if you aro sick, and
require a medicine, try these Bitters.
These Bitters are prepared and sold by Dr. C. M, Jack
son, No. 418 Arch street, Philadelphia, Pa., and by drug
gists and storekeepers in every town and village in the
United States, Canadas, West Indies, and South America,
at 75 cents per bottle. See that the signature of 0. M.
Jackson is on the wrapper of each bottle.
