To Iho general reader, matter of tins sorl 1,0 more acceptable tlian llic political articles with which the papers have been necessarily taken up lately. Wood Wanted.— Those of our subsertb- Suiicn?AM% b^OT(^ n are*informed that we stand much in need of that article just now. If they cannot givo us wood, the amount of their indebt edness in money will answer the same purpose— we must have one or the other. Entered urow ms Duties. — John Bodb, Esq., who was elected a County Commissioner for this county, at the October election, was sworn into office on Monday, and has entered upon his duties. Court.— Court commenced in this borough on Monday, before President Judge, Graham, and As sociates, Woodburn and Rupp. A number of crimi nal suits are ponding, nod will occupy the whole of this week in their trial. We sh-ali endeavor to give a report of the trials in our next. Thk New County Prison.— Our Counly Commis sioners have at length adopted a plan for the new County Prison, and will shortly issue proposals for building. The plana for the building were furnished by Mr. Edward Havilland of Philadelphia, whoso reputation as an architect is known to the whole country. The building, wo understand, is to bo of granite, 64 feel in front, with 28 fool wings—die whole to present a front of 120 feel. The main building will bo 36 feel Jin height, with a central octagon lower of 60 fed from the base, The prison will contain thirty four 8 by 15 feet cells, in two tiers, and the building will be so constructed that twenty additional colls may be added, (should it ever be found necessary,) without nny alteration in the general plan of the building. The front building will contain several good sized rooms, and will be occupied by the Sheriff. The whole prison will be hosted by warm uir furnaces, The prison, when finished, will present a very elo ganl appearance, and will be on ornament to our town and a credit to the county. Eulogy on Mr. Webster. —The faculty and sin dents of Dickinson College, as well as a number of our citizens, have invited Professor Tiffany to de liver a eulogy before them on Daniel Webster, and Prof. T. has accepted the invitation. The eulogy will be*tielivercd in the German Reform Church, o' this borough, at 11 o'clock this (Thursday) morning. Prof. T. is a finished and forcible speaker, and we have no doubt his eulogy on ihe life and services o' the great Webster, will prove highly interesting. Speaker or the House of Retrf.aentatives —A Correspondent of the Lancaster intelligencer names William P. Schell, the alilo and reliable member from Fulton counly, for Speaker of Iho House o( Representatives. Mr S. non a member of the House last winter, and his course was such as to secure for him the respect and confidence of every true Demo oral. Wo should therefore rejoice to see him occupy the Speaker's chair during the next session of the Legislature. Early inthe Field. —The Reading Journo!, the Whig organ in old Burks, nominates the lion.

THE ARMY AND TRE PRESIDENCY, Tho defeat of Gen. Scott—and aucA a defeat no man ever experienced before—is a most fortunate circumstance for the country. Without a single qualification for any civil office, the nomination of, Gen. Scott was urged because of his supposed’ availability. Tho great statesmen of tho Whig party, Webster, Fillmore, Jones, Crittenden, and i others, had to stand aside, merely because of the , military eclat which was supposed to constitute 1 the whole of Gen- Scott's personal availability. 1 Tho Whigs had succeeded twice by having mili tary men as candidates, and this mads them bold to try the experiment again. And to make the .. 0 .i.xjj Duppooeu, uioy nominated as their- candidate the coramandor-irf-chief of the American army, Gen. Winfield Scott—whose military reputation is second to no roan in this country, but who, in civil qualifications, is notori ously destitute. His ignominious defeat'is evi* dence of the people’s discriminating judgment—it is proof that they cannot be deceived and entrap ped twico in succession by the same bait. The administration of Gen. Taylor was enough to sat isfy the poaple that a military reputation is not the only quality necessary for a President of the United Slates to possess. During Gen. Taylor’s short career it became evident to all that he was President merely in name. He had no capacity— no judgment—no opinion of his own. He was in the hands of a corrupt faction, who used him to carry out their own selfish and nefarious purposes. Had Gen. Scott succeeded in being elortcd to the Presidency, we would have had another weak and vascillaling administration—another military experiment; for, notwithstanding the assertions oi Whig papers to the contrary, we contend that Gen. Scott is deficient in every respect, and totally dis qualified to administer the affairs of this great go vernment. His barren speeches during his lale zig-zag travels, afforded the best evidence of his littleness in intellect. That the people judged him by those speeches, is evident from the vote he received in the Slates where they were delivered. In his disgraceful eleclioneering lour, he mKde speeches ami blarneyed (he Irish with his affected k, love for that rich brogue, *’ in the Stales of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Look at the result in ihose five Slates. Every one declared against him—aye, not only declared against him, but disgraced him in the eyes of ihe civilized world. The people judged him by Ins speeches, and voted in accordance with thaijudg merit. We have said that, independent of all party considerations, it is most fortunate that Gen. Scott has been defeated. It w ill pul a stop to the scan dalous practice of nominating mere military men for the Presidency. Of all others, military men —wo mean those who have been brought up in ihooump—ate the very fast to be entrusted with civil affairs. They are, generally sneaking, la mentably deficient, if not ignorant, on all Stale affairs. They know little or nothing of govern ment, and are therefore disqualified to administer its affairs. The best and bravest men in our army could not, in many instances, discharge, properly, the duties of ('unstable. And these mere military heroes—men ignorant of the wants and necessiiies of iheir country—have been forced before ihe peo ple for the high office of President of the I’niicd States ! The defeat of Scott, wo say, will put an end to this suicidal policy, and ihe lesson ihe Whigs have just received iho Waterloo defeat ihey have sustained will induce them herealier to nominate civilians for 'he Presidency—men eminent, nut fur the amount of blood they have shed, hut fur slaU-strfflhship and knowledge. Il iho defeat of Scull will hut bring about this result and we feel satisfied it will then the people of ifie uji<>(e country, (Jrmucrats and Whigs, may ihank their Cod lor the result of the recent Presi dential contest.

With Iho except* ion of two Slates, the whole Union has' declared in favor of those pure patriots and tried statesmen, Pierce and Kino. The Whies havenotlonly met a Waterloo defeat, but they havebeen annihilated; iho Whig parly is—nowhere! Oujr opponents have fought their last battle—the wplds of Web ster have been verified—the Whig _ party is dis solved! The result—what does it mean, and what does it loach 1 We cannot belter answer (these questions than by quoting from the Harris, burg Keystone. .That paper says it ie— A rasnli «vhiflM«oidoe that civil qualifications are deemed necessary by the people of the United States, in tho person who is to fill ibe office of President. It is a decision against taking a professional sol' lier from the army and running him for a high oivll office. It is a decision against the alrocbus “higher law” doctrines of Seward, Greeley, Stevens, Johnston, Fred. Douglass & Co., and in favor of a strict and faithful observance of a/1 tho compro mises of the constitution. It is a decision against tho wild and corrupt ex travagance of the present national administration, and in favor of a rigid limitation of governmental expenditures within the smallest practicable a mount. It is a decision against that insidious system of taxing labor, miscalled proleUion, and in favor of releasing the business of the country from all shackles which prevent our citizens from bdytng in the cheapest and selling in \ho highest mar kets. It is a decision against sending our'flfeis to assist the Queen of Spain in maintaining within sight of our shores a despotism whose heartless cruelties shock humanity ,* and against permtting our own misguided citizens, when flying to their homes, to be spprehended upon the high seas, manacled and shot down like dogs without ? word of sympathy and without resentment. It is a decision against the banking and dUiribu- ion schemes of the Whig parly, which would have been revived and matured had that party bam sue* cessful. It is, in short, a reject ion and repuJi alior of all ihe doctrines, measures, devices, ImmoralHcS and names of federalism, and an unreserved adoption of those great and liberal principles of toleration, economy, progress anil philantrophy on whi-h de. mocracy is founded, winch spread its ajgU over the oppressed, enlarge the area of freedom, oppose special privileges, stand out for equal rig fits and look solely to the greatest good to all mankind. William Hopkins, The people of Pennsylvania, says the Harris burg tTnion, have-grfeat cause for congratulation in ihe triumphant election of Col. William Hopkins, of Washington county, as a member of the Canal Hoard. He bus long been favorably known, as a man of great energy of diameter, of indomitable industry, sound judgement,and practical experi ence, and above and beyond all, of stein and in* corropiahie integrity. And in entering upon hie , dunes in January next,the public may feel assured that ho will investigate and understand every ques tion thoroughly belore he acta upon it, and will pur sue such a course as will redound to his own honor, and the interest and prosperity of the Common wealth. We wish to say nothing now to wound the feelinos of the unsuccessful candidate, but from - ( il| that wdd known of his character, ho was any. tiling hut a sale depository of such a power as that j possessed by the Board of t anal Commissioners of Pennsylvania. 'Hie fact is not to be disguised, that we have arrived at such a period in the his tory of ihr improvements of Pennsylvania, that it requires men of more than ordinary ability and en ergy to conduct them through the trying struggle which is to lake place between rival lines fur the great trfidn of the West ; and wo think the people will find in William Hopkins, a man well suited 10 the emergency. In all the public positions in which he has been placed, he has fully come up to the expectations of the people, and we cannot doubt but that his career in the Canal Board will I be eminently successful.
