We bare been always partial to the ladies* and it gives us pleasure to bo able to men tion an invention for their benefit.

The Iron is on tbo principle of an air tight store, and one cent’s worth of good charcoal fiuoiahss fuel for a whole day's ironing.

We call attention to another chapter of Colonel Behtbn’e history, to be found on our first page, re-1 fating to the West Point Military Academy, Which shows the anli-repablicanand aristocratic features of the institution. in a striking point b-f t view. ' It ehows also (he reason why so few native born ci tizens enlist in the and why thd ranks are filled with foreigners wbp have but recently arriv- ed on our shores. These men make good soldiers, but they frequently enlist from wanl of other em ployment, and the aspiring youths on the “Gram pion Hills** finding no ohanco of promotion, aro discouraged from making the calling of a soldier their own. There can bo no doubt, ihal the or- ganization of this Academy and the practice of the government are anti-republican opd hostile to the rights of the people. This practice has deprived the Senate, as a co-ordinate branch of. the govern-' ment, of its legitimate influence, creates on exclu sive and favorite class instead of a national army, so far as the officers are concerned,* and prevents merit and military talent from rising above tbe rank or & private soldier. We have known many instances of long services and bra Very of the bigh&t character, connected with great intelligence and worth, strive in vain for promotion) because the possessore of these high qualifications had not passed through the doors of this aristocratic Insti tution. Under this stale of facts, scarcely any man of education or character, will enter the ser vice as a private or non-commissioned officer.— Much inducement to an hpnorablo discharge of duty is gone, and it leaves (he rank and file of the eervice'witbout an active and stirring motive to exertion, causes desertion, and is calculated, and will certainly in the end, lower the national tone of the army, and render it spiritless and inefficient. 1 The practice even of the English government seems preferable to our own, as merit there stands some chance of being rewarded. And how inspir ing was the declaration of the French Generals du ring the revolution, and to what deeds of valor and heroism did it raise the French Republican armies, when they said to the young conscripts, “my children there are some captains among you, and the first campaign will show who they are, and they shall have their places/* Napoleon also knowyrell the power of this kind of encouragement, and the most distinguished of his marshals were, with that Instinctive discrimi nation, which ever marked his character, taken from the ranks. y We know Sergeants in our own army, who are intelligent worthy men, who have fought through the Florida and Mexican wars, endured all kinds of hardships and privations, and who have in vain asked for a Lieutenancy, because all the avenues .0 promotion were choked up by the gilded inei- perlenced butter-flies, just fresh from West Point who had never seeoadays service,and who would perhaps resign and give their places to others, on the first whim or caprice, no more experienced or deserving than themselves, after the government had educated them at her own espenee. We know I there are honorable exceptions, men who have served well their country and who have the good of the service at heart. We quarrel not with those who graduated at Weal Point, but with the sys tern itself. We know men who are non commis sioned officers, performed the duties of Lieutenants at important battles and for days afterwards, who] were neve? even noticed in the official reports.—' This 4» all wrong, and as public attention is now directed to it by Col. Benton’s strictures, it is to be hoped fHafsomething may be done to remedy the evil. It would be a healthful reform, and one that would meet the approbation of the people at largo. ___________________ Democrat*, «(*»d b y Tour Color*, Democrat* of Cumberland, nwako to ■ true eenso of your duty I Bo guarded against political schemers sod wire workcrs.Jwho would seduce you into the support of the Federal candidates.

It will bo found, 100, that such persons are boisterous and violent partisans* who oflen prove a discredit to. the honest body ofibo parly, by their, uncontrolled denunciations and in tolerable political .bigotry; They aro generally bold, daring and boisterous, both in Ibeir professions of attachment to the parly and its leaders, and their opposition to the odVcfaii.party and fts supporters.— To hoar them, you would suppose that they were tho only persons who either understood our govorn ment or bad tho ability to support and maintain it- Bat none aro more easily subject to change, none «o Coon find themselves id have been wrong, and none so soon begia-to abuse and villify tbo very party snd persons whom they had almost deified before.

The attempt will be made, under the spocions pretext of Temper anco, lo enlist ministers of the gospel, the pious portion of the community and the friends of public order and sobriety, whilst at the same time the wire* workers and leaders have another object In view, which they at present keep concealed. They hope lo avail themselves of the current of popular feeling, all (be while governed by an under current, wlilqh they take care to conceal from the people. They think (hat popular sentiment, being enlisted in favor of Temp6aneo, can be made available for these pur poses, and therefore they make great pretension* to Temperance, make a long face about llitf evils of intemperance, and hope by there hypocritical whining to enlist the moral pari of the community in their favor-—whilst, all the while lliay have quite i diSerenl end lo view,.<lhoir uwu advancement? interest or power.

Eniron A proper regard Tor my own char odor, oa o truthful man, requires that I should solicit the uso’of your columns for Iho purpose of making ft plain statement of what I said, in the matlof of pro. scnling H. G. Moser, Esq., os a suitable candidate foi the suffrages of the friends of a Prohibitory Li quor Law, os well ob to correct the erroneous stale, moots that hove been mode on the subject. | By the editorial article preceding Mr. Moser’s card, published in the American Volunteer of the Ist I insl., 1 am made to siy, that Mr. Moser bad “un i hesitatingly declared himself in fovor ofn prohibitory 1 law, and was ready to support i I in the event of his 1 election.” I used no each language. What Kdld I say, was, that ilfr. Mottr aatin/ied mewith disposition ; at a prohibitory law man, and that 2 would vouch for , Ais carrying out the meattire. The denial of the Editor is therefore perfectly gratuitous, and has nothing to do with the troth of the question. Mr. Moser, in his card, stales that his “name as used by the Prohibitory Liquor Low Convention was [unauthorized by him, and without his knowledge or consent.” How far this declaration is to be rohdd upon, lot tho following facts decide : I had several convcranlion. with Mr. Mosor on th« .übjocl or a prohibitory liqaor law. Tho Aral ono wa. on llio day of Iho mcoling of tho Domooralio County Con vention. Ho than told me, aAor hi. no.ninalion announced, ho wa. in favor of a law, aooh aa Stephen Millar wee then advocating in Perry county; which waa alow* prohibiting tho oalo of ardent .pirita, aa a beverage; to bo eubmiUod to a volo of Iho people, for ibeir eanolion or rejeolion, ond that ha could 00l see how any Democrat could consistently oppose such-a law. i t |, cn (old him that It wns the inten lion of the temperance men to nominate candidates ' for their sopporl, out of the nominees of both politic, al parties, if men favorable to their views could bo selected, and that I might be of service to him i with .-aiaUb bo teemed to bo quite pleased. Afterwards, on the week proceeding ilio meeting of the Prohib itory Liquor Law Convention, 1 wee appointed one of a committee to interrogate Mr. Moser relative to hie views upon (he subject of prohibition. Accordingly, I addressed him a letter,slating (hero in the authority upon which I wrote, and my object in writing. To this letter I received no answer ; but on the morning of the Prohibitory Law Conven tion, I met Mr. Moser in Carlisle, and had an in terview with him. Ho acknowledged (ho receipt of| my letter, which ho said was not far wrong, except in requiring a written pledge from him, which ho was advised not to give, least his action ot> Iho sub* 1 jeel might bo trammelled, and thus prevent him from doing the best for the cjuso; assuring mo al tho same time, that liis opinions remained tho same as ho had heretofore expressed. I slated to him my , satisfaction with bis views and position, and said I would report to tho Convention, and do the best 1 could for him. \Vo thep parted. From the foregoing statement, tho public will judge, whether Mr. Moser's name was used without his knowledge or consent. True it is, that I was not formally authorized by Mr. Moser to submit his name for nomination by the temperance men, but ho knew that U was my intention to do so, and that my objeckin conversing with him on the subject, was to ascertain his sentiments, for the express purpose of laying them boforotho Convention, which fuel I communicated to him, ond in which ho silently ac qaicsccd. Mr. Moser, never at any time, intimated I to me a desire to withhold his name from tho Con-1 venlion, but on the contrary, I was satisfied from hi* | whole conduct, that ho was onxious to secure (ho support of the prohibitory liquor law men, and was i looking to tho action of the Convention with deep I . ---• In iIiSC" nv * nl ion I did not pretend to interest. jn -J .... u u ,\ give any pledge as coming ff ora Mr. mohw * , simply slated that I was satisfied with his position ' and views, and (hat / would vouch /or his reliability, j In the expression of this confidence It seems I erred, and that 1 did not know my man as well as 1 imag ined. In doing what I did,my motives wore pure' and honest, and dictated rather, by my attachment to tho Democratic party, than any desire to hinder its triumph. JOHN lIYER. September 5,1653. Mn.

I told him wo them, if elected, to advocate and vote for a Lam prohibiting the solo of intoxicating liquors ns a bov3 erago in this Commonwealth, and that I thought’ that the whig* had paid particular attention to this question in their nominations, that I believed their candidates were bolts temperance men, at least Mr. Catheart, 1 believed was a stringent temperance man. Mr. Moser then remarked that ho was os good a temperance man oa Mr. Catheart, although not as ultra in his views on any question. Ho then told mo that ho had received a letter on the subject from a committee in Meohanicaburg. which letter ho showed mo and then proceeded to tell mo how ho intended answering the letter, by giving, as ho then slated, his own views on (ho question, which views ho had written down and road thorn to mo, tho sub* stance of which was (his, that he was favorable to the temperance movements, and would, if elected, go for such measures as (ho temperance men might want, and further stated (hat ho would not now send the letter to Meohanleahurg, for the reason that he thought by answering hero at Carlisle would be sufficient for all purposes, and that he would see some of the corotoltlcoand explain to (hem ; and on my further remarking abqul tho different candidates, lie said wo would gain nothing by taking any ono else in his place. I told him that Mr. Hyor had addressed him a letter on the subject and ho said lie had not received it, but to 1011, Mr, Hyor that ho would be In town on tho Monday following and boo him. H, J. MBCK.

Tho editor of tho Journoi.il scomsMo as, must bo am bitious to furnish, in his own career, on exemplifi cation of this wise saying. lie certainly adopt a more efficient mode of destroying his repute lion for truth and honor, than by tho publication of such reckless statements as the above. most hardened of the Whig- parly will hang their, heads in shame, on perusing this-'production. In our whole editorial experience, which covers many a violent partisan contest, wo do not remember to have' seen so much senseless falsehood, in so few words, as is con- These misrepresentations are the more roprohonsl luincd in (ho above extract from the Journal. bio, as tho truth, on every point, wdb within ■con venicnl roach of this editor.- Ho could have learned from tho proclamation issued by Governor Johnston himself, m tho fall of 1651, and which, like Hubcn eack’s handbills, were stuck up on the corners and board fences in all parts of the Stale, that tho whole I amount of the Slate bonds paid by tho sinking fund, during his services us Governor, amounted to but $659,122 GB. (low absurd it is then, to attempt to mako the people bolievo that tho debt was being paid off at the rate of $700,000 per annum. Ifour young friend will examine tho records in the Auditor Gen eral's office, ho will perceive that, during tho lime tho sinking fund was paying off this $659,000 of five per I coni, bonds, a new six per cent, loan was created, for $400,000, reimbursable at tho end of-twenty five I rears, and that this brings the actual reduction of I ’ll.o debt down to $359,122 98. In addition to this, ho can learn that on tho very day that Governor Johnston retired, it had become absolutely necessary to borrow $300,000 more, at six per cent., to pay the interest then duo, and there was over $650,000 of unpaid appropriations. So much for the 'healthy con* dition* of (be finances. This editor can also learn, from tho official docu ments, that, during the year 1852, Gov. Bigler paid ; off tho six per cent, bonds of the Stole that were then I due by creating now ones at five per cent, and. brought into tho sinking fund $134,000, in the shape of premiums, besides saving over $20,000 annually, by the reduction in the rale ofinlorcst. lie will llios loom that, whilst Ihb Jjto odminislralion paid off five per cent, bonds-by-creallng now ones at six percent., the present odminislralion has paid off six per ccnl., bonds by creating now ones at five per cent., and re ceived a heavy prcmlam beside. As for his unblushing assertion that ‘ the sinking fund has been abandoned,’ every man in the com munity, of ordinary Intelligence, old or ymmg, Whig or Democrat, knows the statement to be simply un- true. 8o far from being • abandoned,* the receipts to; this fund huyeGctrrJyrgcly increased since Governor Bigler came inlp-<rflfco. By coiling at the proper do. paiimcni, os wo did, tho editor of (lie Journal can learn that $495,750 47 of Stale bonds have been can colled during the short period of Governor Bigler's service, in addition to some $50,000 in relief notes now in (ho Treasury, ready for cancellation, making in all $545,750 4T, which will ho swelled, wo ore assured, by tho close of the fiscal year, to near $700,. 000, fur exceeding the payment under the former ad ministration during a like period. Besides, no fact can *bo bolter known, than that the schemes of expenditure which have been drain* ing the Treasury, and have forced the Government to mako a loan of $850,000, wero all commenced under the late administration, and that Governor Bigler had no altci native but to go through with these works. Wo do not stale this fuel to complain of it, for wo think it was wise to complete the North Branch Can. al, and to ro-lay the Columbia railroad, but it is a fact which sufficiently answers the charge of prodi-l galily against the present administration. Both these improvements, ns wo arc informed, will be completed this scoson, and become hereafter a source of revenue, instead of a drain on the Treasury, and as Governor Bigler is pledged In his last message to resist the commencement of any snd all njw schemes of ex penditures, wo may hope soon to hove the whole sur plus revenno opplied towards the payment of (ho Stale debt. A Choice of Kvlla. Two yoong officers were travelling in tho far West, when they stopped to lake supper at a small road side tavern, kepi by a very rough yonkeo wo man. The landlady, in a calico sunbonnet, and bare feet, stood at tho head of tho table to pour out. Sho inquired of her guests “if they choose ol, Ari ftwnotoing, irf thoir cof fee.” The first officer, supposes ••• .-.. e Bweelnlng" rooanta largo portion of that article, chooso it accordingly. What was his dismay when he saw their hostess dip her finger deep down into aifcparlhen jar of honey that stood near her, and then stir it (die finger) round in tho cof fee, His companion, seeing this, preferred “short sweolning.” Upon whioli thd women picked op a largo lump of maple sdgof Ihdlldy in a brown paper on tho floor beside her, and bltihg off a piece pnt into his cup. Both gentlemen dispensed with coßcc that evening* This anecdote wo heart from 1 tho sister of one of those officers. Hon.
