It is expected that it will bo a very interesting affair. thanks to our numerous friends of the editorial fraternity, for the complimentary manner in they hayo pleased to speak of our recent ap pointment. We appreciate,very highly, these tokens of confidence and friendship. Too modest, however to re-print them in our own paper. John C. Knox, the nowly appointed Judge of (ho Supremo Court of Pennsylvania, was qualified on Monday. Hon. Cliades Rltz ba» bem appointed Postmaster st Lewfslown. Judge Rilz is eminently competent and will make an excellent officer. Flt in the Wheat. —This destructive insect, wo regret to learn, has commenced its ravages on the wheal in portions of this county. Wo have advices from several of our agricultural friends, residing in different parts of the county, and they all concur in the belief that a largo portion of the wheal fields will suffer severely this year, owing to the depredations of Ibis insect. Where guano has been used there is no appearance of the fly. Mr. Buchanan Is daily engaged ot the St >lo Depart ment in preparation for his mission (o England.— He will depart in a few weeks with full instruction** as to (ho Fishery Question.

The' assassin has been nrroelod.” No Statue to Webster. —The resolve proposed some time since in tho Massachusetts Legislature appropriating ten thousand dollars to (he creation of a statue to the late Daniel Webster, was defeated in the House, on the 23d, by a vole of yeas 111, nays 115. Another Irish Exile Coming. —Tho editor of tho Catholic Mirror, published in Baltimore, has received authentic information that Patrick O'Donohuo, anoth or oflhe Irish exiles,'had escaped from Van Dlomon's Land, and probably left In one of the American ships trading to Australia, and w ill shortly arrive at some Atlantic port. Sandwich Islands. —Tho Now York Tribune says it has excellent authority for saying (hat tho King of the Sjowich Islands and his Government hove made no offtr to soil out to the United Stales, and do noi contemplate making any. The anxiety upon the subject exists altogether among the foreigners rcsi dent there. They would bo glad to see (ho Islands annexed to the Confederation, but his Kanaka Major* ty has no notion of laying aside the scoptro and roy. a) purple. Railroad Damages. —ll is staled that the lalo oc o’ldenl on Iho Camden and Amboy railroad will cost that Company some twenty or thirty thousand dol lars, in damages, and that now engrossing (he pub lic mind will, in a like manner, put the Now Haven Company, to an expense of one or two hundred thousand dollars. Dr. Boaah, or Bridgeport, one of the victims at Norwalk, had his life insured for $3,. 500, and Mr. Parker, another victim, also had his life Insured. It Is said the insurance companies, will pay these policies, and look to the railroad company for oompeaantioo. Gamblers atCincinnati.— The citizens and police of Cincinnati are making a strong effort to suppress gambling. The.police Judge has issued warrants for tbo arrest of the proprietors of gambling houses, and in consequence they wore all closed on Friday night but one. This was entered during tbo night by the marshal, the principal arrested, nnd the tables destroyed. Several citizens known to have visited these gambling establishments, have boon arrested, nnd warrants are out for others. A few days ago, a man was stabbed In one 0 f them} and, during (ho investigation ortho case before polio© Judge, some important developments were made, allowing the ox. tent of gambling in the city, with (ho names of the V—- mmA of NECESSITY OP ORGANIZATION. Thbbe never wap (says the Heading '(?a«e({e' t ) s lime when Iho necessity of preserving a thorough • and.effective organisation was- more imperatively i required of the National Democracy, than the pres- i enl. .Restored to,a. power by Ihoßlmoslunanimous i toico ef the several States, high hopes of .reYornil o the administration of domostloaffairs.and Ihu appH* cation of liberal principlee'totbo management of bar foreign relations, have been formed in the public mind, which ought not to bo disappointed, and need not be, if the Democratic party remain true to the principles upon which tbo lalo Presidential contest was decided. The very completeness of our success then, has loft (ho Held ail the wider for malcontents to sow the seeds of dissonlion and factious strife, and foster their growth to encumber Iho pathway of the future. The Boston Post, in a strong articloj upon this subject, says, with macb truth: “Though' now there is a truce in political strife, yet elements of opposition will combine and array themselves against the administration. There will bo a com* mon banner of change and overthrow. Tho Presi dent will look to the great democratic parly to moot the onset. Tho friends of the now administration ought to resolve to rally around ’it in firm, consoli dated phalanx ; with faces forward, and not back ward, and with a firm determination to uphold tho national principles laid down at Baltimore and re. stated so clearly and nobly in tho inaugural. Those are tho land marks oftho democratic parly. They constitute a eladard of high toned and progressive Americanism both os to domestic afl'uirs end to foreign policy. To maintain tho President in ap holding it, lot there be in duo time a well devised. ■ thorough, and efficient organization of Iho untied i democracy.” New York Crystal Palace* Several of the New York papers speak boldly of the mismanagement of the Cryatah-Falaco, and the delays in its construction. It is denooncecUas a speculating and gambling affair. If half that is said of it be true, no respectable member of the lower orders of society will venture to attend it for fear of disgrace. The upper lens and whis kerandos, will most likely monopolize tho affair. The New York Express says, that in the vicinity of the Palace, Sunday dissipation attains its cli max. Grog shops, bowling saloons and billiard rooms, of all sorts and descriptions, have started up, and wo are credibly informed that the daily receipts of one of these houses do not fall short of $1000! Of course we cannot, and have no right to expect, a radical change in this respect. The Temperance Alliance, in the vain hope of stem ming the torrent, have erected their tent on Reset two or three limes every Sabbath day, hut their establishment contrasts rather in a funny manner with the drinking saloons in the immediate vici nity. Wlnle “celebrated” orators are holding forth in tho one, upon the inestimable blessing of sobriety, dainty young gentlemen in yellow kids and moustaches, in the others, are quietly discus sin g the merits of mint julips|and sherry cobblers. We say nothing of the scenes of dissipation which mark the closing of the day. This is a delightful look upon, but it will have its day, and no doubt will be instru mental in drawing together a crowd of visiters from the country; particularly those who desire to bo initialed into the debaucheries of a city life. Ilnllroad Safely. Various legislative propositions have been made for securing greater safely on railroads. Tho Le gislature o( Connecticut proposed $lO,OOO fine for every life taken, which, by appealing to the pecu niary interest of railroad companies, would induce the adoption of bettor arrangements and the em ployment of more competent agents. In the Mas sachusetts Legislature, a bill has been introduced into the Mouse for the appointment by the Cover nor of a board of three railroad commissioners. ! whose duly it shall be to visit all railroads In the Commonwealth, inspect their cars, tracks, loco motives, draws, and all the other material, with a view to securing the safely of passengers; make such suggestions to corporations as they may deem proper; and report annually to the Legislature.— In all extraordinary oases, suoh as accidents, any director, superintendent, conductor, or oilier etn ployees of the road refusing to testify before the commissioners are to be subject to a fine ofslooo No railroad officer can be appointed a commis sioner. Whether agents of tho Slate having m pecuniary interest in railroads, would bo mon likely lo perform so important a duty as well as those whoso Interests are aJFecled injuriously by every accident, is very questionable. Tho Disappointed. It has always been bo, observes tho Delaware Gazette, and it cannot be otherwise, that a largi number of gentlemen belonging to the successful party, who are applicants for office, have been die appointed, or rather failed to secure tho posts they have solicited. This result is generally looked for and expected by tho applicants themselves; bui occasionally one is found who has relied too con fidently upon the chances of securing the object sought, and who, when disappointed, threatens to leave his political associates and form alliance with thoir opponents. Such men rarely over suc ceed in gelling an appointment to any office ol profit whatever, for their conduct is mostly brought up against them when their application is filed )b second or even a third lime. And they are then charged with being more office-seekers, having no real principles. Such a course by disappointed applicants ia.one of folly. For should they ever sever party flfe and leave their old as socletes for such cause, the parly Into whoso ranks they throw themselves regard them as mere spoils hunters, and often despise litem as heartily, after securing their votes, as the parly does from whose linns they deserted. These remarks are general, and allude to no case in point; but may serve to remind the thoughtless and inconsiderate, and deter tiiem from a foolish and unmanly step. Steam Engines.—To persona having iho care of steam engines, the following from the Law roncoburg Register may bo valuable: u Mr. Ira Hill has informed us that ho has accidentally made a valuable discovery, by whioh Iho deposition of lime upon steam boilers may bo obviated. Two o» ibteo abovola of saw dust are thrown into the boiler; after which process ho states ho never had any difficulty from lime, although using water strongly Impregnated with it. Ho has always found tho inside of the boilers as smooth as if Just oiled. Whether the lime attaches itself to the floating panicles of saw dust, instead of tho boiler, or whether tho lanio odd in the oak saw dust forms a salt with the limo which will not attach Itself to iron, remains to bo explained. Tho saw dust was placed in tho boiler for tho purposo of stopping a leak. Tho experiment is cheap and easily tried.” Gon. Arista,"who is banished from Mexico, hut retains his rank and pay in tho army, is openly and strongly in favor of the annexation of that country I to tho United States. -\V 'A !.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says that out of,one thousand men who formed the New York regi ment in Mexico, but sixty remain alive, and'but forty of these are able to earn their living. This terrible mortality is to be attributed principally to the hardships they underwent, coupled with the change of climate, of food, and of ihoir.former mode of life generally. It is a well known faot that moat of the officers who served in Mdxim, and who have since died, contracted the seeds «f their mortal disease while with the army. *Theie is but little doubt that others—Worth, for exan ple—would have lived longer, if their constitu- tions had not been impairs* by their campaigns n Mexico. Jf the superior officers, who were', in a measure protected from the worst discomforts ef the service, fell the injuries they received from the change of food and climate, how much more seri ously must the common soldiers, who were expos ed to every description of privation, have expe rienced this evil ! Sleeping on the bare ground, often in soaking rains, the victims occasionally of the most exhausting fatigue, and as frequently of equally exhausting excitement, what wonder that disease, even during the war, mowed down more than did cannon halls, or that, since the peace, thousands have como home only to die! ! I Ravages of t»»- c- - - d —i— /-» ipmgenw says, that within a week the growing wheat in that county has exhibited signs of extent sive ravages of the Fly. The information frotrt all parts of that county is to the effect “that a very large portion of the crop will be destroyed by this insect—whole fields that lately presented a pro mising appearance, now show strong indications that half the crop at least will be lost. Here and there a field may bo seen with a vigorous, healthy appearance, but oven these are attacked, and may be seriously injured. Wo regret to say that the wheat growing counties of Dolaware, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Dauphin, appear to be suffering in the same manner. We passed through these counties last week, and found the wheat fields exhibiting (he same sirrrs. Precaution for Travellers.— The recent terrible railroad accident has boon largely‘improved’as a text for numerous suggestions of plans to secure the greater safely of passengers incase of Occident. One of these is by a correspondent of the Providence Post, under the name at (ho head this paragraph, who suggests that travellers should carry in Ihur pockets a memorandum stating their names and residences. Elo says : “I have carried a memorandum in my pocket and a copy of it in my trunk, for many years,of my name and homo, so (hat in case I was killed in a rood or on a boat, it would be known who I was, and vvlinl 1 huvo requested to bo done with my (lend body, as well os where to gel paid fur all (ho care and expenses attending such an event." The suggestion is doubtless a good one, but of n nature (o afford after all but a melancholy salisfac liun in case of accident- Silver Mink —Asilvrrmmo Has recently been discovered on tho bunk of Slippcryrock crcyk, in Mercer couniy, between Curolhcr's ond Kennedy'* mills.

Tho hills adjacent to that creek are filled with rich minerals and only needs to bo developed to become useful and profitable to land holders in that section. Large Liquor Seizure in Maine —At Augusts, Maine, on the 13th insl., Marshal Joi.es seized forty or fifty barrels of different kinds of liquors, amount ing in all to 1345 gallons, which had been brought from Boston by tho schooner Rochester, and plucod in a storehouse on Flagg's wharf. There was no direction on tho casks, and nothing to indicalo,lhe owner. The liquor will bo advertised under the provisions of the law, and disposed of as contraband, unless an owner appears and proves the contrary. Tho Savannah Republican of the llihlinst., soys : “Wo learn, by way of Charleston, ihil the yellow fever is now raging in Savannah. We '’had beard nothing of il ourselves, though we Imvo been in the oily every day for some time, and try tq keep o pretty sharp look out upon (ho town; yot/na (bo intelligence roaches us from Charleston, where peo ple are faster they are hero, il may possibly bo true. If wo wore culled upon for our opinion upon the subject, however, wo should bo inclined to «)iH crcdil the report —nay, to pronounce il a whAlcsalo falsehood.” Gold Dollar Test— Dr. Gideon B. Smith li,kJ invented a very ingenious contrivance for detecting spurious coin of (ho gold dollar stamp. It iw* smell box wiih a slit in the lid, which will admit the gen. uino coin only. If a spurious coin passes through the slit, it will not sink, because it is resisted by n weight inside, superior to the leverage by which the true coin overpoises the weight. And if (ho spqrious coin is made so largo that Us weight equals the (rue coin, it will not pass through the aperture. The ar ticle might bo made to sell at a low -price, and'thus come into general use. Ileaoisu.—The Paris papers of the last’ datb, soys (ho Courier det Elate Unie, bring us the following; Incident:—' Last Saturday, a woman,'.had ally fallen into (ho Seine near (bo Pont Ncuf, ; qqd had been immediately carried by the current towards tho middle of tho river. Among tho persons attracted by her shrieks was a gentleman riding on horseback who hastened to alight from his horse, throw himself all dressed into tho water, and was so lucky as to seize tho woman at the moment she was about dis appearing, and to bring her to the shore. The au thor of this act of dovotodness Is Mr. Cass, son of God. Cass, and Minister of (he United States at Rome, now in Paris on a furlough.' A son of the lion. 11. A. Wise has boon appointed Secretary of Legation to Berlin. Thebe hundred dollab law act. I ; yrii6 following very important opinlbhas to the obstruction ,of the Act of 1849, known as the “Phree Hundred-Dollar Law Act,” which com pelely reverses the practice upon it, was read a norl time sincoby his Honor,ChiefJustice Black, .{(he Supreme'Court: . Hammer vs» Freese.—in the Northern District. • ppeal from the Common Pleas of Nonhumbor amt ... . {F/eese’s personal, property was levied on .ibid. The proceeds amounted to $454,11. ,r iho /defendant in the execution was present when the , |plvy was made, but did not then claim that any of the goods were exempted by tho Act of 1840. iviout the commencement of the sale, ho demanded theshenefil of the Statute, The Sheriff sold the pronely and paid the proceeds into Court, and the Court, on Freese’s petition, ordered $3OO of the money to bdmaid to him. We are of-vpinion that the debtor cannot, under any circumstances, entitle himself to three hundred dollars of the honey for which personal properly sells at Sheriff 1 ! sale. .The Act speaks of proper ty, not money. \ It requires him to select the goods he wishes to retain, and have them appraised, and properly thus chosen and appraised, shall be exempt from levy and sale. This excludes the idea that he is to have his choice between retain ing the properly, and demanding the money out oftheproceids. /f’horoare sound reasons why he should lake lha/oods or lake nothing. The law was made for .the benefit of the families of debtors, rather than >br debtors themselves ; and a family stripped of/every comfort might not be much the belter of $3OO in the pocket of a thriftless father. Proper!/ which appraisers would value at $3OO, mighi not sell fur the half of it, and if debtors had this choice, it would deprive the creditors of twice as mnch property as the law intended to take from them. A convenient friend'could be got to buy it in at a price far below its value, and a part of the money awarded by the Court would pay for it. The former law on this subject specified the particular articles which might be retained. The Act of 1849 gives the right of designating ih ;m to the debtor himself, fixes the quantity of them by ■ heir value ; but if he may be silent until after the sale, ho can virtually take property which ho has not elected, to an amount far greater than the law allows him, and without applying the legal stan dard of its value. Such a construction is against the spirit, as well as the letter of thtf statute. The debtor, not being entitled to money under any circunistanoes, would have no other remedy than an action against the off.cer, even if he had demanded his right, in a proper way, and been re ' fused; bul>he did not make the demand here in a 1 manner which tho Sheriff was bound to notice.— He did not point out the property hn elected to retain, nor ask for an apprat emenl. He said nothing on -the subject until it was 100 lale. Reg ularly, a debtor who wishes to avail himself of this Acl, should mnk* his election at the lime ol (he levy ; the Legislature could have meant nolh <r, U ole A fc- I , • r- -J , r~- J - - -*-—♦-«* 1 be exempt from levy. But lie may be in time il he demands it after il is seized; provided he does not wait so long that a compliance with his re quest would postpone the sale. His right is clear ly gone, if he waits until tho sale lias begun. The decree of .tho Court of Common Fleas is reversed, and it is ordered that the fund in Court be paid to the executing crediiors in the order of their liens. Construction of Rappino Tadi.es.— Mr. Pack, a cabinet maker in Pearl sired, New York, has furnished ihn following account ol iho manner in which tables for “ spini rappers” are constructed: Having been called up n by Professor Madison, in relation to certain tables made by me fur panic in ibis city, I am fiee to statu ih.it I have made two medium tables during the past year; both had machinery concealed in them lor producing ‘raps’ at the will of the operator. The beds, one and a fourth inch thick, were cut out in the centre, bo as to admit the machinery, and then carefully cove'- ed, so as to leave a hollow, and make tlio eound> louder. lam not sufficiently acquainted with tin machine and the manner of working it, to describe them in detail; my business was to make the ta bles for the reception of the “spirits,” and that I have done this In two instance®, and am ready in do it two or twenty times mere if 1 can get paid for it, lam willing to assert. And if people will give a dollar apiece to hoar a little hammer strike inside a tea table, and go crazy about it, it is noi my fault. Laborers Wanted.— The Sui.bury American says, there is considerable difficulty in getting a proper supply of good laborers on the different Railroad and other Improvement at that place.— Tho I’hlladelphiaand Sunbury Railroad Company expected to have their road in operation, between Sunbury and Shnmokin, by this lime, but the dif •ficiilty in gulling hands has retarded the progress of their work, and delayed its completion for a ‘month or two. Tho Susquehanna and Sunbury and Erie Railroad Companies, labor under the same difficulties. Laborers can find excellent em ployment in that neighborhood. The location is healthy, and wages are good and promptly paid. Lebanon Valley Railroad. —The Town Coun cil of Lebanon have ordered an election to bo hold on Wednesday, the 29ih of June, to decide for or against tho municipal subscription of sso,dflo to the Lebanon Valley Railroad, os authorized by (he supplement to tho said Company's charter.— Tho rcsolulion was unanimously passed, and li e Lebanon papers aro advocating the subscription. Mormon War at Mackinac.— Tho Detroit Free Press of iho 21th,contains a letter from Mackinac, announcing the renewal of depredations and out rages on the part of the Mormons of Beaver Island. They aro dally committing robberies upon the poor fishermen, along tho shores and In tho waters of Lake Michigan. Early in the spring, six or eight small houses, owned by tho fishermen at Brick Point, were burned, and two hundred barrels of Ash stolen. On the Bth instant, about $5OO worth of property, consisting of boats, nets, clothes, &0., was plundered from various persons on Gull Is* land. These with other rascalities havo been traced to n gang of men from Beaver Island. So far has this been carried, that tho chizona of Mac kinac, who havo aufiferod more or loss from those Ishmnoliios, held a meeting on the I7th Inst., to | devise moans of “ protecting themselves against I the felonious depredations of tho Mormons.” A Business ,Girl.— Wo ore well acquainted with o young ami very handsome girl, says (bo ac complished editor of the “ Merchant’s Ledger,” who has the principal management of a largo mer cantile establishment in a country town, who visits difturdnt cities alone, slops at hotels, purchases supplies of dry goods, hardware, china, groceries, shoos, knicknacks, and all multifarious saleablos 'which make up a ‘Block’ in a miscellaneous store. .She gives notes, makes contracts, all such business ns belongs to her; and wo have never yet learned that she has sacrificed one lota of tho dignity, ad miration and respect, which are her just duo as a young, amiable, and very pretty woman. C3* Tho Secretary of the Navy has suspended tho distribution of the extra compensation voted by Con gross, at its lalo session, to persona engaged in (ho Navel service on (bo Coast of California, during tho Mexican War. This suspension was decided upon hi order to defeat and detect schemes believed .to have boon matured for defrauding tho Government in concoction with (his distribution.
