The new Press, however, to run smoothly •and make good work, will require considerable oiling, ; anti we hope our patrons will bear in mind.the im \porlonce of ,liquidating their little accounts, so that Wo may bo enabled to procure the oil. r\‘! Wehove disposed of our Old Press to a gentleman ■ loFultbn county; and henceforth it will be engaged '• in disseminating the peculiar doctrines of Whiggery. This to it will bo a new and sorry task. Alter nine •' years’ faithful service in the democratic cause, it - \cerlainlydeservcd a belter fate. Necessity, however, ' kpnws neither law or gratitado, and it was our pov* , Arty, hot or mil, that consented to tho change. * Mfli SoouiiLEß.—Wo are glad (o learn (hat Mr. A Scoullsr ,Is rapidly recovering his health, fie ' hopes to be able to take his seat in the Legisla tore.ln the course of a week. • , Ouri Special Election.—By the Sheriffs pro clamation,.in another column, it will be seen that Friday, the 34th instant, is. the day appointed for the holding of .our special election for a member of the House of Representatives. We hope every ‘ Democrat in the county will discharge his duly faithfully on that day. > Governor's Message.—Wo received, a short time*befpre going to press, a copy of Gov.

Ellis Bonham, Esq., has resigned the situation of United Stales Commissioner, adder the Act of Congress oftboSOtli ofFebruary, 1612, and the several supplements there* to* and transmitted his . resignation to the Clerk of (he Circuit Court of (ho United Slates for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, from which hq received the appointment. - Improvement.— The Herald ofthitplaee appeared in a now dress last week, which has improved its appearance very much. Wo are pleased to note this evidence of the prosperity of our neighbor. following officers were recontly’olecied at a meeting pf the Carlisle Lodge I. O. O, F., to serve the ensuing session: N.Q.—F. A, Kennedy. V. G. —DKH.Uinkley. S.—James M. Allen. T.—Jacob Sbrom. ‘ A. S.—Joseph C. Thompson. Libel Suit.— The editor of the. “ Penneyloanian,' 1 (Col. Forney,} has prosecuted (he editor of (he Spirit tf the 7'ime» for libel. For weeks past, the Times has beon teeming with articles of the most abusive vtod malignant character against Col. Forney. Ho has-been charged with, almost everything in the calendar of crime. Never have wo read articles eon. (aiding more bitterness than those (bat have appear* sd in the Timas against Col. Forney. According to these articles, Col. F. is the very worst man now living, and James Buchanan and Judge Black, the editor would have »•, believe, are the next worst men 1 The oharacWfrs of these three gentlemen— moral.and political—cannot be tarnished by these vile and infamous assaults. As well might the edi* tor of the Times try to convince bis readers that the moon is made of green cheese, as to mako them be* lieve that Mr. Buohanan, Judge Black or Colonel Forney arc capable of committing any of the crimes imputed to them. The Timas may manufacture and publish Us.slanders, but they will.fall harmless at the (bet of those against whom (hey are directed. Axacs-rzo.—We loam (hat a man named Michael Fisbor, woe arrested in Yorlc, on Thursday last, on suspicion of sotting tiro to Mrs. Beitsol’s house, which was fired on Sunday the 22d ult., and involved the destruction of five other houses. After an examine, tion, Fisher was committed for trial. Gov, Qoitmah and the Cuba Expeuition.— The President, ,U is laid, has information concerning , GoTernor Quilmsh's participation in tho late Cuban ( invasion, sufficient to convict him ton times over of , the charge brought ogalnsl him. Tho Executive is determined that ho shall be brought to trial under the law. But Governor Quitman will resist the process ] while he remains Governor, Bhohld Judge GUolson decide that Quitman is answerable to tho process, the Marshal of Mississippi will arrest him, and take , him to Louisians. If not, the United Slates Mar. I •tial of Louisiana will bo instructed to serve the pro*' oen upon him, end lie will be supported by the whole power of the United States. Odd Fellows and the Umion.— lt is slated that the Odd Fellows in Now York contemplate giving a public expression of sentiment in rotation to tho dis a organizing movements now on foot. A meeting of ■ome of (ho. lodges has been held, and a correspon dense Is to bo opened with tho Southern lodges to ob* taln tbeir views on the subject. p A rea Mills.— Of the nlnety»sovon Paper Mills in tbe State of Massachusetts, thirty.two are in Dark •hire county, and of them thirty two, nineteen are in lira town of Lee alone. Paper making it the one great interest of tbe place, and some of the most sue esssfol and famous manufacturer* in the country carry on their business there. . KJ Jinny Und says tbnt after her trip from Wil. mington (o Cbirleiton, ihe docs nol ilotlre to bo a rviglit.in.gali again. Pima's Nxw Light.— There have been many eon- Torts lo Mr. Faina's now light, A few days elnoo the President of the Springfield Gas Company visited . Mr. Paine, at his house, and was admitted to an ex amination of the process for generating hydrogen gao . by mean! of electricity. The result of their exami nation woo that they wore fully satisfied that Mr. Paine had made a great discovery, They were al. lowed to operate the machine themselves; and were ■ shown Ihe peculiar construction of the helloes, by which the immenae power is obtained. GatsT Snow Stock in Mimt.—We learn from Ihe Portland (Mo.) papers, that the snow from the late ■tortn l» piled up lota iiqmense heaps, in Portland and vicinity. In some places the drifts andaooo. molalion thrown Horn the sidewalks would measure ftom 6to 8 Act in height. Many of the fences and sroslloul building In (he open country are completely buried up; and the roads are almost Impassable.— ' Therafaasnolbein such a fall of snow in Maine for -r J, BLUB BOSUAM; Biq, By reference to the proceedings'of the "Demo cralie County Convention, published in.another column,'it will be see’n'thal this gentleman is now beforellbe people of the county, as the Democrat ic candidate, for the Beat in the Legislature, made vacantby'the death of. Henry Ch'urch, ESq. We congratulate the party that one sd,elninently qual ified, so able to do them honor,and- so deserving their ardent and united support, has been selected, if we look upon, talent, political knowledge, and honorable political skill as qualifications for the office of Representative, the convention' has been peculiarly fortunate In their choice. We presume there is no- man in our county (hat has such a val uable fund of statistical knowledge and is belter acquainted with the principles and.the object a of legislation than. Mr. Bonham. Besides lliia, he has the necessary talent and ingenuity to make his knowledge of practical utility, and can secure or defend (as may be necessary.) the interests of he people, and the long cherished principles of the pariy. We fee] assured that he will be a Representative of whom we need never be ashamed. Mr.. Bonham is known as a refined arid accom plished scholar, and sis an orator* ranks amongst the highest, clothing his thoughts and arguments in smooth, refined . and polished language, and uttering them with an easy and.graceful delivery. Of hie triumphant election we have no doubt, and that he will rank among the first; if not the first, In the House of Representatives, we are equally confident. . We also congratulate our Borough on the selec tion. It is an evidence that the strong and bitter prejudice that has existed among, our country, friends against selections made, from the town, I has given way to better and more kindly feelings. It is a long time since the. Borough has been suf fered to offer a candidate for (he councils of our State. The matter has beenenlirely ruled by the question of upper and lower end, and the centre has been looked upon as having, no claims. We do not wish, by any means, to take any rights from the two extremes of our county (Hat they may have, but we hope the question hereafter will be one more pf qualification than of locality. The county has, of course, plenty of competent and efficient, men, who could at all limes fill every place of trust that we are entitled to. But, all parts jsf~tiro<puniy have those men, and therefore y}q think that the question should irol bo one of mere locality. However, we are ever ready to submit to the expressed will of the majority, even though that will be nothing mure than the dictate of prejudice. The Legislature.—The Legislature of this State assembled at Harrisburg on Tuesday. In the House John Cessna, Esq., of Bedford—a true, and reliable Democrat—was elected Speaker. The Senate did not organize on Tuesday, owing to the .fact that a Speaker could not be elected. Gov, Johnston's friends and the frjends of Sena tor Cooper could not pull together, and after five ballots were had, the Senate adjourned. Yester day theballotings were renewed, and we.presume by ’ this lime the Senate is organized. David Fleming, Esq., of Harrisburg, received the Whig caucus nomination for Clerk of (he Senate, and John Sechrist received the nomination for Sergeant* at*arms, and Jacob M. Jones for Doorkeeper. The Whigs having a majority in the Senate, of course will elect all their officers. Tux Judoxj. —The Pennsylvania* saye:—The ini porlant duly ia to bo performed al'flid’approachlng session.of the Legislature, of giving impulse and doe direction to the Judiciary to be ohoaen in aocordanco with the late amendment of the Constitution, under which Judges are to be elected by the people; and we rojoice to-discover iS men of all political complex ions a disposition to join in tbe.cndqavor to bestow upon ourselves an Improved bench.. A correspondent •ays: “Ita entire reorganization ought to boat tempted, and among the rest, the number of tho judicial district* should be out down to tho lino of economy and usefulness. Tho expenses of tho pre sent administration of justice are out of all proportion to the necessity of the oase, or the service rendered, especially out of the city, and tho circumstance alone ofoor possessing so many more Judges than wo have employment for, has contributed more than all others put together, to bring reproach upon lire existing bench.” We hope that both parties, Whig and De mocrat, at Harrisburg, will patriotically unite, as they ought, and well may, to fsciliate the business of tho various communities which compose tho Slate, and to add to the comfort and safely of every man in U by a thorough organization of (ho now judiciary* United States Commission xor Claims.— The Fro. nidont recommends to Congress to authorize Com* missioners to sotlle and adjudicate claims against government, which, in Philadelphia, alone, soys tho Ledger, amount to several millions ofdollars.andllio people have a right to raise their voices In seconding io resolution of Mr. Fillmore t wlio in this matter ias evinced a sagacity and moral courage worthy of hit atation, and such aa ought to find Imitators among 1 the representatives of the people, to whoso want of 1 energy this branch of the public buiinoaa has been! |so roprohentlbly neglected, or shifted off upon the! •houldora of others, who absorb, enormous Commta 1 •lons In their collection. The people ask for more' energy and active Buaineaa habita on the part of their representatives In Congress, trifling away public time, and with reckless prodigality, the people's money, are among the besotting alns of Congress, and cannot longer meet with (ho InduU {gence of a constituency, who, however,good natured, are not wholly lost to the duties of'good citizenship, . or the self-respect that ought to bo cultivated by a free I people. ; iIINRV Clay and tub MilLxus or St. Louis.— The St. Louis.lntelligencer, of the 16lh,Bayai We have been requested by flvo of|ho most extensive and bust flouring millers of this city, lo tender lo the Hon. Henry Clay henceforth any quantity of flour neces sary for the use of his household at Ashland. Wo are furthermore requested to stale that the flour thus presented will bo guaranteed equal In quality lo any manufactured In the United States, and especially inferior to no brand made in 81. Louis. As an ear nest of what they propose lo do in the premises, we ioarn that each of tho five will immediately ship to Ashland a barrel ofhls best. We have no objection lo tho millers ofSI. Louis doing as they please with llioir flour, but wo have no doubt there ore thousands ordastltule poor in that city, upon whom their charity could more worthily bo bestowed. Bold.— We learn .from Use Spy, of Saturday, that the Columbia-Depot, belonging to the Stale, in Co lumbia, was sold on Tuesday week for ISOOO, lo Mr. John Barr, of that borough. There were a number ofsltangots from York, Baltimore and Philadelphia, present at the sale, who desired lo purchase It. Tut Cntnoxat Nation.—Tho National Coun oil of tho Ohorokees. recently appointed a delega tion to proceed loWashlnglon.whloh is now on IK way thlthor, fully empowered to adjust the re maining unfinished buelnesi between the United Stales and tho Cherokee people. Yesterday, lliq BthidstatfifYraatho36lh Annivcr saryoftho Battle.ofNow Orleans; a .battle Inyvhiob the immortal Jackson defeated Ihoflowsrofllio Bril* leh army, and ended the War In a blaae of glory., We are sorry to say, that the dtitrortlittntooftfir» day~ a day which taught the rulera of the old world to reaped the prowess of the American arms, and which should bo held snored by every lover of'freedom—ds now permitted tq pass almost unheeded and uncared 1 for. Formerly this was not so. Then,it was ushered amid the roar of cannon, the ringlng of bells, and the loud shouts of patriotic multitudes, .Ilwoa then a gala day. It was graced by appropriate military displays, by bonfires, illuminations, and general cn» joinings; suppers wore given and eaten; and on that day politicians held conventions, and passed resolu tions, In which tho valor and genius of the hero who gained so signal and brilliant a victory were laud' to tho skies. Yesterday, however, 14 not adi heard,” and there was no indicalioujcvcn, Bth op January had arrived. We worr see this,and we hope that hereafter our companies will so far honor the annir Bailie of New Orleans, as to celebral : propriato military display. Worthy of Consideration. —Tl . of lalo years, says IhoPollstown LeSget t hu jcn puzzled to know of what utility the vast expenditure of mo ney by State and General Government, for “ public I printing” is to the “toiling million.” Wo respect* I fully suggest to our colemporarir iropricty of agitating the question of securing iral publica tion of all documents end laws that (hoy may thus be brought lit be confined to a favored few. Li in the eystera—a retrenchment at li ernmoht and among, government orgi allowance made lo newspapers generally fl ing law* and documents.

Those interesting to the people of the Slate in the papers ofthe, Stale—rates of remuneration to bo regulated according to the circulation of the pa* pers. What say you, friends? We know the peo ple say it would bo right. The Novel-Writers* Kacb.—A London pa per says, facetiously, lhat Mr. G. P. J{. James his arrival in America, backed himself, for a' sum, to write ten novels in less time tl Fennimore Cooper will take to write the end of the first week, Mr. James hi iple ted four and got as far as ilia, two., avellers on the fine summer’s evening, in the fifth, and was still when the accounts loft, hi excellent wind. At the same period, Mr. Cooper had fin ished one only, and but just arrived at the discov ery. of the hero’s lost grandmother, in the tribe of the Esquimaux, towards the middle of a second; the severe weight of the material, besideej was beginning to toll, and he showed visible signs of j punishment. There .can be little dodbt of Mr. James’winning his chivalrous wager. A Learned Journeyman PniNTERr-»Tlie Al bany Dutchman gives an account Of Mr. Jolia Patterson* a native of Now Jersey, anfla journey, roan printer* who has by his own efforts, become thoroughly versed in every braneh of mathemat ics, and can read and write Greek, LSjtat Hebrew and Arabic, with as much fluency as he can En glish. In the different living languages he is equally, well posted up. His great .work, “The Oaloulus of Operation^,** l has just ieen, issued from the press, and Is, in the opinion Of scientific of the most profound productions that thomaUieaMUsal 'weridJ|9»;y6t^rt^tesocfo(y: Tub Now Hampshire Constitution*!

The Governor and members or both bouses of the Legislature are made elective Tor two years. The Council, hoe .been abo- lished. The Legislature Is to meet, biennially, in June. The Secretary of Slate and Treasurer are to be elected by the people for two years.' Judges of the Supremo Court and the Attorney General are made elective by the popular vole for al* years.— County Jddges and other officers are to be chosonijy the people of each county for four years. . The office of Superintendent of Public Instruot(on; bas been created—the incumbent to be elected by fho people, aud Ills duties defined by tho legislature. .Tub Invasion or Cuba.— Rumors continue to bo circulated by tho newspapers from time to time, in relation to a now Expedition against Cuba. They are, wo believe, utterly unfounded, and yet it la ap parent that a restless spirit prevails upon this sub. Joel In some portions of (ho South. A late account from Paris says, among other things, that 41 Tho Spanish Government has given information to (ho French Government, that Lopez is preparing ’& small army of freebooters’— -Jlibustert— with tho view of making another descent upon Cuba, and that (ho information lx derived from 4 a certain source. 1 It is added, (hat the French Government has soot addi tional instructions to (he commander of (he French naval forces In tho West Indies, to aid if attempted. . The McDonough Will.— Tlio First Municipality Council of *Now Orleans have refused to acquiesce In the engagement of any special counsel tp defend the Will of John McDonough, and this action, says the Crescent, Is fraught with serious consequences to the oily at large. We hate been informed lhall neither of the Municipal Attorneys has authority to I file an answer In the esse of the Slate vs. the Oily, 1 in the Fifth District Court, and the consequence must bo that a judgment by default will bo obtained, 1 throwing the succession Into the hands of the State of Louisiana for a long time, if not permanently*— The expenses of the legal transactions are continually Increasing, and a largo portion of (ho estate will be eventually absorbed In this way. Important Decision.— ln (ho Supremo Court or tho United Stales, at Washington, on Tuesday week, the ease of the United Stales os. Josso Hoyt, late colleo lor of Customs at the port of Now York. The do. olslon Is in favor of the Government, by which the judgment of the Circuit Court tfcalnst Mr. Hoyt for a sum over two hundred thousand dollars, stands. The opinion was delivered by Mr. Justice Nelson, and waa unanimous. The counsel for the United iStates was Mr. Attorney General Crittenden; and for Mr. Hoyt, Mr. George Evans and Mr. R. J, WaikeV. (jj*Tho s'cf«nf(/tc Amtriean says that in less than IWo years travellers can step into a railroad far at New York,and proceed by an uninterrupted Railroad to Galena, bn the Mississippi, In Illinois, a distance of 1,300 miles. The links to complete this chain are now being constructed, and, the editor adds, that in ten years from the present time, an interior line of railroad will be opened between New York and San Francisco. In the number, length and greatness of rivers, this country exceeds ail others, and in a few years our artificial lines of communications will far exceed any other country. Who can it bbl— The PitUburg American no. lice* the arrival In that city, of-a runaway opyple, from "Lancaster, Pa., the groom being an old Tar* merof seventy-five, worth and thobVido a blooming girl of eighteen I Thecustpm is gaining ground, say a. a ci tary, among the States of the Union, of vat exemption of tho Homestead of a family ' operation of an elocution for debt* stances the plan is objected to —and on the first presentation of this subjei ■ideralioD.il Is regarded as an ihnov; [expediency upon an established our I well to do in the world, who har Ulismonio touch of whose ' gold*—tho man of mr honorable dealh who plots ' property tf to his *- pr ics—it has boon truly said—aro common to all. The fire, tlio flood, llio unavoidable accident —the security debt—llio recklessness of speculation —tiio drain of dissipation—each and all oftlicso aro daily bringing to the humblest level those who were grasping to the topmost round oflho ladder of fortune. None are exempt from those calamities —none can assure themselves that such will,not bo their fate in I another twelvemonths. | And when this calamity comes—when the hand of an officer is laid upon the accumulations of ft lift —not alone oflho head of a family, but of the woman whoso diligent hand has added to and preserved their earnings—shall the homestead, endeared to them by early struggles and early joys—the roof rsl sheltered tholr children—the soil which lcnanc.0 —shall these go loo? Shall io, and thankless toil thenceforth be Humanity answers, no! And the im every where gives tho same response, is of the people is tho great object, of •nmcnl, and all should bo cared for as ''one family. The rich should not bo t poor oppressed—arid, least of all, uica or the faults of tho man ho iding wife and offspring. Make >!y, a sacred thing—a castle of ' of tho world—where the bur. v gather his household about "hen the storm has swept icwcd energies, upon .id prepare liin. .or a new venture, ic sea of life. Tins State Works—Red*. glad lo loam, says thoPhllude that the Board of Canul Coi*. thorough and careful examination . all Us bearings and relations, have at. porlant resolution of reducing the tolls merchandize carried on the Stale W( Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and franlcu a new schedule. The change ts a, subs) The general average of reduction oh tt ted at from 12 to 15 per cent. The rc goods Is computed to be nearly 25 per c As we have always advocated the prop urged the necessity of making such a rcdu< need not.say that wo approve the act of the i. eioners, and deem it in all respects a wise and t ono. They deserve credit for -resolving it, Ii required alike by the interest of the State, commercial communities, and of the largo classes of citizens directly or remotely dependent on the lilies which the lino of Stale works offers in lhci r business. The rosullcannolbut prove highly odvan lageous to all. A great stimulus must be.given to tho business of transportation, from which the whole Commonwealth will derive an adequate recompense; .vJbili alLaUioj: iotowf* waat experience; the- temrtfar of enhanced .trade. We need not say how greatly advantageous the change must provo generally to tho commerce of Philadelphia. Silver Com.'—The Harrisburg Union soys—Tho people arc generally complaining of the scarcity or silver coin. Many of tho banks decline paying it out In change, simply because they have not gut it. Tho attention of Congress is called to it, Who are advised to authorize a reduction in the standard of our silver coin so that there will be no inducement to carsy it out of the country. Silver coin now cum* mands a premium, being worth mure than tho same amount in gold coin. Tho great influx of gold has caused a; rise in silver coin. The inconvenience arising from the scarcity of silver coin for change, would, )o a measure, bo remedied by the coining of more of the gold dollars, Tho objection to (ho size of that coin is daily being removed ; wo will soon become accustomed to them, and they will no more bo liable to bo lost, or exchanged for a five cent piece, than the quarter eagle for a ten cent piece. Thk Patent Laws. —Congress is attempting to amend llio Patent Laws, and. has submitted some wholesome provisions for the security or inventors and the public, and limiting (ho discretionary powers of the Patent Office. Oho of the provisions requires that uniform rules shall bo prepared, open in the of. (ice to the inspection of all applicants, which shull bo observed with impartiality in all eases. Another re* quires the Commissioner of Patents to keep a record of (ho dale of receipt of every original paper, and not allow them to bo removed from the office; and where »n application for, a patent is rejected, requiring the Commissioner to cause a record of.hls reasons for his decision. So also in extending or. re-issuing a pa. tent; certified copies of these and oil other records and correspondence are made evidence, in all eases, in tho same, manner as originals would bo if duly proved. Another object sought is to protect the true inventor. By the Scire Facias one trial will dolor, mine the validity of the patent. Now no patent Is deemed safe or valuable properly until repealed trials and judgments have been obtained In Its favor, This will diminish litigation for patents, and render them more secure and valuable property. A distressing accident occurred at Reynolds villa, Jefferson county, the other day, during Quarterly.mooting. An invitation was given for persons to oome forward for prayer, a large num ber presented themselves, and the congregation pressed forward to see tho proceedings, when the joists under the floor gave way, and about one hundred and fifty persons, men, women and chil dren were precipitated Into the cellar in a heap, with a glowing stove in the centre. Several were injured more or less—four being badly burned. One has since died. Mimosa m Delaware.— An old gentleman, Captain Joseph Williams, waa murdered near 'Cross Roads, about (wo mites north of Middletown, Delaware, the Republican says; on Monday evening last. Ho had been at tho store and was returning home. It Is supposed that two black mon committed the deed, one of whom, It is said, has confessed to his participation in the act* He had about ten dollars on his per son, and for this small sum the wretches dyed their hands in his blood. He was kilted with a club. The two men have been arrested and placed in the Jail at New Castle to await thoir trial at the next term of the. Court. Bank Note Ink.—The Ink for printing bank notes In London is made from the oaitolned loaves and seeds, of gropes, and forms one of the finest and darkest imprints that ran bo found, So saye ah English review. ■ *v V ■' - ' HomciteKd' ’KkeWptlott* . drop of vitality—all tticso var'u array themselves against the moa* their opposition will not disprove its id merciful character. )LLs,—-We are th American, rs, after a ’ibjecl in ho im ' and Democratic County Convention; st tho liny in* always, ibliccon. doubtful ’ho man nl—llio Tlib Democralic Counly Convention, for nominal ing a candidate for the Legislature, in the place of llenrt Church, Esq'., deceased, # rfftd to appoint Dele* gates to the two Slate Conventions, mot in tliu Court House, in the Borough of Carlisle, on Tuesday lost, tho 7lh instant.

Another Fire in York.— The York Republican, or Wednesday week, gives tiro particulars ofnnoliier fire which occurred in lliol borough on Iho Monday night previous, The firo originated in a largo frame barn of Mrs. Latimon, wool of the Codorus, between Main and Philadelphia streets. The building was quickly enveloped in dimer, which extended to o frame atablo on the properly, of Mr. Isaac Garrolson, adjoining on the Weal, and both were burned to Iho ground. In that ofMra. Lauroan was a largo quan. lily of grain which had been threshed and pot into hagai ready for the miller, who waa expected to take it away un Monday, but unfortunately failed to do eo.
