Theatrical Performance.
A company of Dramatic Artistes, (under tho di

to mqrrow evening, at Marion Hull. This troupe is
composed of twelve persona, (four ladies and eight
gentlemen,} and, we are free to Bay,their perform
ances thus far have been highly creditable. Their
entertainments have been well attended, and the
enthusiastic plaudits of tho spectators gave evidence
ofthe high degree of enjoyment experienced. We
have never witnessed, in the largo theatres of (he
city, bettor dramatic and comic representations than
those performed by this company. Aa the troupo is
here fora limited season, our citizens should not
permit the opportunity to pass, without witnessing
the performances of this gifted company. We hope
the gentlemanly managers may, during their slay

Thanksgiving Dat was more generally observed by
our citizens than upon any former occasion. Work
was suspended in all the shops, and the stores and
other places of business, were mostly closed. In the
morning a great many folks attended church- at noon |
they sal dawn to good dinners, and during the after
noon and evening, they gave themselves up to prom
eakdta£, visiting, and other recreations. The day
' wtS pleasant compared with the gloomy ones that
preceded it, and consequently the ladies came out
£r«Uy numerously to bask In the son's rays, end in
(heir rich end tasteful fall attire, gave Hanover and
High street! a gay. holiday aspect. The town was
gp]at sod orderiy, both day end evening—os much
so as on a Sunday—and although there doubtless
were some excesses, wo believe that on the whole,
the day wss pleasantly and not unprofilab/y spent.

THE BUROPBAK WAR*
£J6w that hostilities have aciuallycommenced
between Rassia and Turkey* (as our. readers will
observe by the latest intelligence published Ibis
week in our columns,) a wide field for speculation
as to (he probable course of events on the conll*
nent of Europe and Western Asia, opens to our
view. From tho first-in this controversy be*
tween Russia and Turkey, we have instinctively
sympathized with the cause of the Grand Sultan,
and had a strong faith in the success of his arms,
each as would not seem to be warranted by tho
results of previous conflicts, between the same
powers. Bat we think the’ events of (he past
! few years have changed the character of Turkey,
and that instead of the weak, exhausted power
she has generally been considered to be, ready tot
fall to pieces from ineritae and sloth or tho slightea
exlernal jostling, she has renewed her energies
in a remarkable manner and is now perhaps the
most warlike and energetic people of the World.
She is resuming her ancient prowess and enthusi
asm, when she was by her impetuous valor the
master of much of Eastern Europe, and her domin
ions threatened to be the centre of almost universal
empire. When she seemed likely to be tho
scourge of Europe, her devastating armies were
eventually resisted and checked in their onward |
march by the peasantry of Hungary, and Europe
thus saved from the desolating tread of the cruel
and vindictive M.useelman.
Tho essential services thus rendered by Hun
gary, have been rewarded by the Czar assisting
the House of . Hapsborg to trample the constitu
tion of Hungary in the dust, murder her citizens,
whip with the merciless knout her women, and
incorporate her as a dependent province under
military rule, into an empire that owed its exist
ence to her bravery and good offices. Hungary
J followed (he fate of Poland; and poor Poland and
! poor Hungary Ho bleeding at the feet of conquer
ors without magnanimity, the victims of a policy
as heartless as despotic, and have no longer a
name or a place among the nations of tho world.
But (heir virtues and their sofferings are not for
gotten, but continue to stir up (he patriotic and
brave of every people and Inspire them with re
newed zeal in the cause of liberty, and in their
cause if opportunity 'offers to strike a blow in (heir
behalf. Their chief men and rulers have had to
flee from Cosaack and Austrian tyranny, and have
infused their spirit into surrounding nations, into
I whose bosoms they have poured the tale of (heir
sufferings, their woe, their degradation. Turkey
received recently at the risk of war, the exiles of
Hungary, and nobly protected them, and refused
to give them up to the vengeance of their oppres
sors. The noble Kossuth and his companions
were saved to the world from an ignominious
death, by the hospitality and sublime moral
stand taken by Turkey in their behalf. Can we
believe that these events so ennobling in them
selves have bad no Influence upon the Turkish
nation, and not rekindled an ardour in their bo*
some that is now burning and glowjAg Id national
effulgence in the principalities invaded by Russia,
and which has so far given victory to the cause
of the Crescent 1 The hospitality of the Moslem
has been the bread cast upon the waters, which
iis now returning after many days. Already are
the exiles of Hungary arming for the defence of
Turkey. And can we believe that Poland and
Italy will remain Indifferent spectators! The
countrymen of Kosiusco will join with the follow
ers of Kossuth and Mazzlni in beating back the
invaders, and in the praiseworthy and patriotic
effort of giving constitutional liberty and consti
tutional governments to supplant the absolutism
of Europe. Hungary and Poland and Italy may
not be free from the agitations produced by a ge-j
neraJ European war likely to follow ibo collision!
between Torkey and Russia.
The wonders of Providence are mysterious and
past finding out. Recently it Is alleged by the
foreign dispatches, Louis Napoleon, the Emperor
of France, and Louis Kossuth, late Governor of
Hungary were closeted for three days on the sub
ject of European affairs. The nephew of “ the
Child of Destiny** may with a superstitious awe
feel called upon to decide the question whether
Europe shall become Cossack or Republican.—
The prediction of the great Napoleon may be a
bout to be verified, and now is about the lime that
prediction made at St. Helena, (ho prison house
of the greatest spirit of modern times, was to bo
consummated by the actual event 1 Can we doubt
the effect of tho enthusiasm and eminent ability
of Kossuth whb all these concurreul events upon
the mind of the present Emperor of France!—
He is tho representative of a new order of things,
of the new dynasties and not of the old. Napo
leon the Third, has for his prototype and examplar
the “ Child of Destiny,” the Napoleon the Great,
tho creature of revolutions, rising to his full
height nod majesty upon the ruins of crumbling
thrones.
May not the present Emperor of France con
sider himself tho vice gerent of heaven to carry
out and consummate the great work of his august
relationT Should such be the case how import-;
ant the results, how splendid the panorama of
European events for a few years to come I May
the Spirit of liberty guide them and the welfare of
the people be promoted and established. Wo
may yet sen Kossuth Governor of Hungary, ami
Mozzini tho conelititlional ruler of Ibe Italian
Stales, end Poland free, prosperous and happy.

* Casual Commissioner,
Mr. Editor;— T was pleased to notice In & late
number of the penntyhaman, a communication
presenting the'name of Col. John-F. .Mbans, of
Towanda, Bradford county, aa the next Democratic
candidate for Canal Commissioner. There ia no
office in the gift of the people—not even , that of
Governor—of eo great importance to the lax pay
ers and business interests of tbe Commonwealth,
as that of Canal Commissioner. It needs but a
glance at the extent and character of our improve*
menls covering, like veins and arteries, the
face of our great old State—to appreciate their
importance, and (he immense responsibility rest*
tng upon'lhose to whom is committed their man
agement. How careful should we be in the se
lection of those upon whom We devolve such
delicate and important functional There are
some who seem to entertain the idea that a good
lime-kilti or eayv mill clerk possesses suflicien 1
qualifications properly to discharge the duties of
the office we are considering. What a mistake!
What unpardonable ignorance! These ere they
who eo vociferously bellow <• Sell the public
works!” As far as my observation jtaches, the
tone of the democratic press seems* to favor tho
claims of the North, (we have no South, 1 believe,
Mr. Editor,) and in that event, where would you
look' for a better or more suitable man than Col.
Jno. F. Meanbl He is well abkHavofably known
throughout the North; and has warm friends
wherever known, who would rejoieo at his noml
’ nation. A man of fine business habits, urbane
and pleasing in his manner, radical, untiring, and
| consistent in bis democracy, and withal, and a.
bove all, of unbending integrity, he possesses all
the requisites to a useful, prompt and accommo
dating officer.
Ia view of all these considerations, and others
that might be named, wo might well regard (he
nomination of Col. Means as auspicious of suc
cess at the polls—and the dawning of a new era
in the history of the Canal Board.
..SUSQtIfiHANNA.
The “ Late” Whig Partv in Onto.—The re
sult of tbe recent election iir Ohio, intensely grati
fying as it is to the Democracy of that State and
of the whole Union, is, of course, regarded by the
Whigs with feelings of a diametrically opposite
nature. If their defeat had been of a less over
whelming character, (hey might h&vo found some
“balm in Gilead” to assauge the mortification oc
casioned by the disaster, but (he Democratic vic
tory was so brilliant and so complete, that no con
solation is of any avail. Whiggery will not be
comforted, and its lamentations.are truly sorrow,
ful. Hear the-lamentation of the Duflaloe Ex
press.
“We refer to the •'Whig party of .Ohio os of
things past. It is pretty much'obliterated. We
recollect something of that party in Ohio in other
days, when it inscribed upon its banners its tri
umphs by majorities that astonished the world,
and seemed to bid defiance to all attempts to over
throw it. A few years have rendered it prostrate
and powerless, without any apparent recoperative
energies. The late election, left it with but Jive
Whigs in the Senate, and fifteen in the House of
Assembly— hu\ twenty in the entire Legislature.
This is a lamentable picture of a great and power
ful party now fallen and helpless. We hold the
Whig party of Ohio up to the political world as a
warning against the entertainment of side issues.
It is n victim of abolitionism abd.coM water, and
by the two, left as bare as nakedness itself, and
as weak as imbecility. Abolitionism had nearly
skinned it alive, when by a fatuity inexplicable,
U turned to the Maine Law, which dealt the finish,
log blow. '
Growth or Ohio.—Every six years there-is.
law, a revaluation of real estate-ln Oblo, for
taxation. Jo 1846, the cash value of all property
in Ohio amounted to a little orar four hundred
and seventy five million dollars. The new valu
ation of 1653, now completed, shows (ho value
of all taxable property in (hat State to be just
aboot $800,000,000: an increase of $3-25,000,000
in six years.'; This is at the rate of aboui7o per
cent, in six years, or almost 13 por cent, per an
num. At that rate, the valne of all (he properly
of the Stale will be doubled in less than nine
years from lBiG. This wonderful growth In
wealth is doubtless the result, in a great measure,
of the completion of many railroads running
through different parts of the Slate, and connect
ing with Eastern roads so as to give to the agri
cultural interests all tho benefit of cheap and
speedy access to the Eastern markets. The re
turns show the increase in value is principally In
farm lands.
Tho value of real estate in Columbiana county
alone, in the last six years, is nearly $2,000,-
000; and the value of all property in (hat county
is returned at very nearly $10,000,000.
When it is recollected (hat, oat of about 35,-
000,000 acres of land whjoh constitute tho area
of Ohio, only about two-fifths are yet brought
under actual cultivation, some idea may be form
ed of the future wealth of this State, when all its
soil is cultivated, and all its capacities for produc
tion developed.

would enable the institution to pay Us entire indebt

Harder Trial,
The criminal court of this county was engaged
during a part of last week, tn the trial of Court
land G« Johnson, for the murder of his wife at
Portsmouth, Dauphin county, on the night of the
3d of August last. The Commonwealth was
represented In this case by David Fleming, Dis
trict Attorney, and bp A. J. Herr and F. C. Car
son, who. were associated with him in the case,
and the prisoner was defended by John C. Kun
kel, John Berryhill and Thomas Jordan. The
proof of the killing of the woman was well made
out, but the evidence showed that it was done In
a fit of anger, brought on by Jealousy; at the
same period; Johnson having shot and mortally
wounded a person who was In company with his
wife at the lime. After a laborious investigation
of the evidence, and able arguments on both sides
the case was submitted to tho Jury on Saturday
night ateleven o'clock. Tho Jury remained out
until nine o'clock oh Tuesday morning, when
they brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in
tbe second degree.— Harrisburg Onion,
A New Application of the Association Principle,
We find in the Armstrong (Pa ,) Democrat, the
following communication, which suggests an idea
that may be worthy of the attention of such of
our readers, of limited means, as are pondering
how they can secure a home in (he West:
“A Sonic Wav to Get Rich.— Suppose fifty
families, consisting of farmers and mechanics of
different kinds, form themselves into a company,
elect a President, Board of Managers, Secretary
and Treasurer; pay in $l6O each family, or a tri
fle more if necessary, making a fund of $7,500 or
$10,000; move into some rich and healthy part
of the Western country, consisting of woodland
and prairie, on some navigable river leading to
Take up a section of land, lay it off
into town lots, divide them equally among the 50
families, take $BOO of the money and buy United
Stales Slock with U to pay for the land, it will
draw interest to wanted. Take the balance of
the money for flour, bacon, sugar, coflee, seed
wheat,corn, pqlatoeSfCowa, horses,hoga, wagons,
gears, ploughs, transporting the families, £c.—
When they arrive at the spot selected, all go to
work as one family; some to ploughing, planting,
fencing, and some to building houses, &c. Build
a house for'each family on one of their own lots,
and then dissolve the company ; dividing the pro
duce and personal property equally to each family;
or if the majority, or any number of them, like to
stick together longer, and build (wo or three
houses for each one, and a hotel, they can .do eo;
they will soon find renters for them. Thus yon
see each family for $l5O and eight hoors work
each day for about six months, will own 34 lots
and a house, in a town of fifty families, consisting
of fanners and mechanics, worth at the lowest
calculation $4000; besides a share in all the pro
duce raised, and the personal properly bought.—
Besides, each family can lake up ICO acres in (lie
neighborhood of the town, for $1 35 per acre, and
pay for it when it comes into market, with large
ranges for cattle on the praries all around, and
■ very Mule winter. This nan all bo done honestly,
without robbing, .shinning, or oppressing any
body—a very satisfactory consideration for sn
, honest man to reflect over.”
The communication concludes by stating that a
company such as that proposed above, in non
being formed at Kiitaning, Armstrong county, to
start on the Ist of March next, and invitre those
pleased with the prospect to join the expedition.
