A punctual attendance is' requested. Three of the Committee, July 25, 1839.- “Civitas” came la hand too late for insertion this week. (CTTho correspondent of the Herald missed his mark amazingly, in his reply to the criticisms of “Carlisle.” The individual alluded to by him knew no more about those, as we ’conceived them at the time, harmless productions than the **man in the moon.” “Hudibras,” by his imprudence,, has now got his hands full, and what with “Carlisle” and “Veritas,” if he is not fairly betwixt “hawk and buzzard,” we are no judge of matters and things—that’s all. He will have reason, if we are not greatly mistaken, to rue the day he lower ed his dignity,kg. much as to pen his violent, vin dictive and uncalled for tirade of billingsgate. County meeting. Democrats! remember the County Meeting call ed, in obedience to the well known usages of the party, for Monday evening next, at the Court House in this Borough. It is important that there should he _a, general attendance on that occasion, ae very' muclr depends upon the zeal and anima tion tVith which the political, campaign id* opened. There is_much at stake this fall, and the approach ing election, being' the first held under the new „ constitution, will he one of the most important ov er held in Pennsylvania. That .Cumberland county .will .he found where —hhc always-has beon—foremost in the fight—"we" have not a‘ single doubt. In fact, from every thing wd can learn, the domocratio’'party hero is now stronger and more united in the support of repub lican measures, than it has been for the lasl twenty years—and nothing is wanting to"ensure certain, and. triumphant success but a little energy and zeal on the part of the people, •. 1_ . We hope, then, the good work h ill commence on Monday evening next—and we trust that upon , that occasion there will be such an array of the “bone and sinew”, of the county as will strike ter ' -Tor into, the hearts of our bank-ridden federal' op ponents. Xet the first gun of the campaign be ■fired at the enemy on Monday evening next-—let it be well loaded with hot shot—let if be steadily aimed and directed by the sturdy yeomanry, of the county—and, our . word for it, the enemy will re , treat in confusion without making scarcely a show "of resistance. • We tnist, therefore, that the farmers and. me, chanics—all who'pan.possibly at'that endeavor) to he present,- and show by their attendance pi the meeting that they are ready Jtohuckle on their armor for the contest, and en ■ gage anew in the causa of democracy—of liberty —and their country; 7 , @©J“-We perceive by .the Herald that our fed eral opponents have, called a. county-moeeting at the same time and place the democratic. meeting is to bo held."

'Fhe -annual examination of the public schools of this borough preparatory to the vacation, look place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday "of last week, and together with the publioexlubUiori of the schools of the two highest grades, which was held at the Eijual Saloon on Thurs day, gave general satisfaction to all who-Witnessed the exercises. Great praise is due to the teachers and scholars, and the public generally have ahilh dant cause of gratification at the high degree of perfection to which the common school system has already attained here. The different examinations wore attended by a number of our most respectable and intelligent citizens, a report from'whom in relation to the condition of the schools may bo found in to-day’s paper, and on Thursday the spacious Saloon wa’s crowded to excess to witness the examination and exhibition. The scholars selected for the occasion both male and female performed the different parts assigned them to admiration, and the audience ap peared to be delighted with what they saw and hoard. The exercised were opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hall, and concluded with a short address and a benediction by the Rev. Mr. Thom ten. The schools were then dismissed till the 2d . of September, at which time tbc vacation closes. The following is the order of exercises adopted for the occasion: ER. PRAYER.

DISMISSION,. , v - Our schools have justly obtained a high charac ter for their efficiency—and the plan as carried out here is being imitated in other parts of the State. That they are looked upon favorably elsewhere, will be evident from the following letter which was received by the Directors in reply to an invi tation to the Governor and Secretary of tfie Com monwealth to bo present at the, exhibition on Thursday last. The absence of the former from the scat of government on account of ill health, & the pressing nature of the public business which rendered the presence of the latter necessary at Harrisburg on that day, it will be seen, were the causes which alone prevented their attendance. Harrisburg, July 30, 1839. Messrs R. Angney, Geo. Sanderson and J. Ham ilton, Committee of the Board of Directors. Gentlemen:—l have received j'our polite invi tation to be present at a public examination of the Schools belonging to the two highest grades in the Carlisle district, on Thursday next. Owing to circumstances over which I have no control, I snail be compelled to remain at the seat of Government on that day. I exceedingly regret that the public business prevents me from witnessing this exam* inatlon irt your district, which is celebrated for having so fully developed the utility of .the Com mon School system of education. Such develope mentSjare not only beneficial to the district in which they are made, but by distinctly exhibiting tlie capacity of thc.system to reach the objects for which it was established, they become public ben efactors. Their example exerts an influence of incalculable extent.. The Governor, before he )eft Harrisburg, reques ted me to present his best thanks to you for the invitation you forwarded to him, and to inform yoh that his absence from this place would necessarily prevent him i’rpm witnessing the examination. I am yours &c. F." R. SHUNK. SlevsnayTape Warm. —The report of Col. McEl wco in reference totthe Gettysburg Rail Road, will be found bn our first page, and is another faithful expose, in addition to Mr. Brodhead’s report which we published two weeks ago, of the frauds and villainies perpetrated by the late “Reform” admin istration. By reference to it our readers will learn with astonishment that; up to the time Gov. Por ter put the seal of condemnation-upon it,- this ser- : pentinc road had consumed more than setien hun dred thousand dollars of the people’s money—and that it would require’in all the ( enprmbus sum of S®“stx millions to complete it, and whfen com pleted it could by np posslbility-be of any public utility, but would yoarly’prove a drain upon , the State treasury to sustain its repaits and ordinary expenses. -Thisublo reportialso exposes some of the frauds practiced at the last general election, by which the majority of 1775 was given for Joseph Ritner in Adame county. ' Col. McElwee deserves the'lasting gratitude of every well wisher of bur Commonwealth for' the masterly manner in which ho- has handled' this subject, and his indefatigable exertions to crush the abominable nuisance (the road in question) must redound to his credifin the eyes of all honest and honorable men, We ask for his report an at tentive perasaj., ■ ' , .

Such villainy and rascality should not be suffered to go unpunished. The Stonebrakers and their compeers were but tho instalments to carry out the wicked designs of their unprincipled employers, and while they are punished for their frauds and perjuries,the Stevenses and Dickeys and their colleagues in infamy, who are ten fold more to blame, should not be permitted to run at large with impunity. Dr. Espy, the Auditor General is engaged ma king these investigations in obedience to a resolu tion of tho legislature, which required his person al attention to the.subject. The Developements on the Huntinodon Breach Some extraordinary instances of vil lainy have developed themselves during the in vestigation now making by the Auditor General, relative to the expenditure of the $400,000 on' the breach above Huntingdon, one or two of,which wo enumerate. . John Stonerraker, whom all pur anti-masons know as a siiporior affidavit maker, is in prison,' on a charge of fraud, forgery &perjury. He is a defaulter for upwards of $.4000, as a pend ant to his misdemeanors. Ono man was appoint ed to an office at $2 per day, drew his pay, and swears ho never Served an hour. Ho voted for Ritner of course. Most of the officers had nothing to do, or if they, had, have act been able to define, ore. oath, their duties. THE SQUANDERING OF MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED THOU SAND DOLLARS, is olfSrly proven, and should the evidences of fraud and corruption continue to come to light in the same ratio, during the remain der of tlm inquiry, it will be shown that Ritner, Stevens and their coadjutors, lavished more than two hundred thousand dollars Upon worthless parti zans, and in an endeavor to corrupt that fountain of free institutions—-(Ac elective franchise. Gov. Porter. —Wo were mistaken last week in asserting that Gpv. Porter was then at Bedford Springs. Ho was on his-way thitlier, but had taken sick at Hollidaysburg, where he was con-' fined to his lodgings.

Editors:—l had thought my task was done:-and now only resume my pen in order to reply to an attack which was in tended for Carlisle; but unfortunately the sapient wiseacre who concocted that bril liant effort, overshot the mark, and made a violent and abusive assault upon some unof fending, individual, (who he is I know not) that never, I presume, dreamed of penning the criticisms .which were published by you. It is scarcely necessary for mo to say that 1. would have passed by this harmless missile in silence and with contemptgshad not some of my remarks been misrepresented, and motives and feelings attributed to me, which never yet had, nor never shall have, a place in my breast, or have any influence in the regulation of my conduct. I Tins Hudibras, and of him more anon, has asserted that I entertain a decided aversion and- contempt for mechanics. Now, I would have this fellow know, who, if report says fiuc, is a graduate of the famous Aca demy, and now supports with becoming dig-, nity the proud and elevated character of a legal charlatan, that instead of contemning the honest, hardworking mechanic, 1 honor him more, and place him much higher in my estimation, than those exquisites and mil sops, whom-the “winds of Heaven were hev ersuffcred’to "visit too Tudcly,”~and _ wh*o3e* nice delicate hands were never contamina ted by the handling of q mechanicaljnstru ment. lam the son .of a mechanic, and the hand that is now tracing this line, was but a few minutes before, released from a day’s hard and laborious, toil.

Editors, that thy conscience-awakening correspondent “Car lisle” hath roused quite a turmoil amid the immaculate spirits—the subjects of his gen tle criticism. And why nut? Conscious innocence ever recoileth at (he censure of the profane. How sacrilegious to give pub- For the Volunteer. licity to the honest deeds of honest men 1 It is enough to move to agitation the wrath of a very “Hudibras.” Now, upon our con science, this hapless" champion of “unobtru sive men” hath sadly missed his.aim: In blind phrenzy he hath winged his fragile ar row at a fancied foe. The lerrible “Car- lisle” enjoyeth still his “otium cum digni tate,” whilst another hath stayed the tempest of the raging “Hudibras.” Yet someone must needs expiate (he sin of thrusting into public view "unobtrusive men.” The port ly dimensions of.at least one of these vindi cated wights; (he kind credilorial notices of another; the criminal -records—that honest register of the unwitting peccadilla—.of a third; and the political notoriety of a fourth ■and fifth; the best carpenter and shrewdest butcher—repel the declaration that these “unobtrusive” citizens have wasted all their mental and physical energies within the pri vacy of the domestic circle. - , v lt amuseth much, indeed, to., view the floundering of "Hudibras,” who, with feeling indignation, vindicated! “trades and trades men.” ' Now, be it known, that no”sensible man dcspisetll-_the honest and industrious, artisan. The“uprightr“dilrgent~citizcn; be his vocation what it may, hath his eulomum in the public approbation.

For that man, who would pride himself upon the factitious and ephe meral consideration bestowed by his profes sion, we are wont to condemn and denounce as a vain, conceited fool. We believe that real dignity, and solid and enduring charac ter must spring from the individual himself —he must Have those principles within him self that constitute a man and gentleman, to enable him to lay claim to these titles. - These remarks I have thought necessary to make, in order to do away with any wrong impression’s that may have been made: And now that this work is accomplished, and suc cessfully, let us turn for a moment to the hero himself—the gentle, considerate Hudi bras.

The same degra ded wretch.whoso foul-mouthed impudence, provoked the severe corporal chastisement of a fellow partizan, on the public square. The same bar-room blusterer for whom a gross insult to a worthy townsman, in “Fer ree’s Hotel,” well nigh purchased a merited passage from “tiine to eternity,” and who then, in atonement, was constrained to lick the dust. The same shallow-brained liber tine—tho sworn conservator of the peace— who ifi'the npdnight hour, attended by noto rious ruffians—all "congenial spirits l —hath wont to prowl about the abode of the virtu ous-wiferin the-absence of-her natural pro tector, to essay by menaces to wrench from lier the'pollution of her husband’s couch.— The same silly-minded inebriate, whose gross. Vulgar and brutal conduct, having compelled the notice of an honest car agent, and being checked in bis rude, turbulent ca reer, evinced the true stamp of his nature, in the character of (he poltroon and assassin. Dastard like, he dared not resent the wrong to which a brain distempered by lustful ex cesses and unrestrained intemperance gave birth. He allured a thoughtless friend to adopt his quarrel, but when a jury of his peers pronounced him guilty of the outrage “in manner and form as he stands indicted,” and the court adjudged the penalty of the law against the trembling culprits, this un principled wietch would gladly have eschew ed any share of the penal infliction and left to his friend’s shoulder the whole weight of the burden. The sarac.dinfecling swindler, who, having frequently maddened by drink .thebrain of a certain boon companion, enticed him to the gaming board, and when his senses were chilled and his judgment subverted, despoiled him of his last farthing—now an Outcast from thcrcircle of his friends, a blast ed and undone man. The same heartless despoiler, who now robs a livelihood by ini tiating the indiscreet youth in the dark, fa tal artifices of the midnight card-table—who wrings from the harbored, corrupted strip ling the pittance destined to defray his'hon est dues—the debt of the victualler and tai lor. The same impioiljt. knave irho hath, habitually, desecrated the Sabbath to these unholy purposes; to deprave the ingenuous ; youth, to scatter the seeds of depravity, and to unloose-the- very bands of society. The identical scaly, , Jilnatcd, swollen, empty , mass—the repository of every thing mean, | low, or vile—which, a'week ago,-polluted • the tainted columns of the “Herald and Ex- , positor.” This motive distillery—exuding pestilen tial vapors from every pore of his putrescent frame—has .constituted himselfihe .cham pion of his automatic, doltish compeers.— Pares nobilcs fratruin! Heir to nought hut the.viccsof his parents—a fool without learn ing—this vile reptile hath well preserved the inheritance. Time hath added much increase, and he stands forth, in bold relief, a haggard, wasted remnant of rotted human ity. Already claimed by that busy, numer ous tribe that haunt the charnel-house, he hath been spared, only as an-cxemplar of the extent to which human.nature may be de praved, when marked by the hand of divine vengeance. Had crying justice been heed ed, long since would he have been immured within the prison’s walls—the companion of thieves and vagabonds, of swindlers and drunkards. ‘ M hat hath been here written, however disgusting to' detail, is yet the narration of (ruth. Every line is a relation of the reali ty. Will Jins viper of noble ancestry dare deny it? It scbks no corroboration but from the guilty conscience of the untried crimin al.

Or has this noble effort of mind, baffled the Jiissirig'.dr.Qnes thrit carp.and ’cavil" at~c very of thcir-flagitious schemes? The bold strain of truth and the startling energy, with which palpable, tho’ chilling facts are arrayed, have set'at defi ance the puny gnawings of these captious puppets.

Having attended the late examinations and exhibition of the Public Schools in Carlisle, ns a board of visitors, the undersigned deem it due to the-'directors, the Teachers and, the Scholar^.thereof, and the great Cause of general Education, publicly to express to their Fellow Citizens the high satisfaction arid pleasure which- thcy'experienced while' witnessing the same. > These examinations have proved to ua, and we think to 511 who attended thenv, the wisdom and the efficiency of that plan of in struction adopted by the Directors, the abil ity and faithfulness of the Teachers, and, on the whole, the uniform .diligence of the Scholars, whose exceeded our most sanguine expectations. in these Schools arc taught Orthography', Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography with the use of the Globes; Book Keeping, History with Roman Antiquities and Mythology, Composition in Connection with Rhetoric and Declamation, Algebra and its application to Geometry,. Mensuration, Plane Trigonometry and its application to Surveying, Natural Philoso phy and Astronomy. Thus it will at once be seen by the Pub lic, that whilst the course of English Educa tion in-these-Sehoqls r is-ac-tually extensive, it is all important, as it-is chiefly adapted to the, common business of human life. The Schools consist of two high arid two subordinate departments, eaTdi of the latter being divided into two grailcs, and these are again sub-divided into two classes each. The following statement taken from the ■Minutes of the .Directors will'showf that there were in actual attendance at the ex aminations about six hundred Scholars, that one hundred and fifty-two of theae are re commended for transfer, on account of theit improvement, to other and highet depart ments and ns the average number on the .School- rolls will ..amount to. fifty in each School in the subordinate departments, there must be from seven hundred to seven .hun dred and fifty Scholars attached to, and reg ularly taught in them. The whole nuipbfep;, of teachers employed therein being thlrteelV/f besides the two in the High Schools.

The Directors have certainly been fortu nate.in the selection of Teachers. They are generally Gentlemen and Ladies of experi ence in Teaching, and of great moral worth.' Their standing in society is good; they are respected by'the Parents and greatly belov ed, as we are informed, by their Pupils. - This esteem and rcspcct, on the part of the Scholars for their Instructors, is' doubt- , less augmented and strengthened by the fact, that the Discipline of the Schools,' though “firm and prudent,” is also persuasive and parental. .The Teachers in the first and second Grades of the Primary .Department, appear to pnssess.talents, peculiarly adapted to their, work and the ages of those commit ted to their care. '• ■ In the Secondary Department there are four Schools, two of the first and two of the second , grade. The examinations of the classes under the supervision of Miss Hendel and Mr. Hinkle, at their School Rooms, \yere very gratifying, and the excellentcxnminn tion of the Young LadiSs of Mr- Brown’s School, and that of fhe'Yonths in. Mr. Cam eron’s; so well sustained by both, especially before the large -audience convened on the day of the exhibition,-evinced most satisfac torily the abilities of those; Gentlemen for imparting.instruction, and-the industry and attentipn ,cf t|ie classes to their several stud ies.
