I who have business at Harrisburg hsreaftSr, PBOBPEBITT OP TOWNS. Harrisburg Is growing very rapidly, and if It continues to increase in population a few years longer, It will, we suppose, contend with Reading and Lancaster for the largest number of Inhabl. tants. It has now, it Is said, a population of more than 11,000, and during the last summer and fall there were about two hundred substantial dwel lings eroded there. Some gentlemen are now erecting a large manufactory for railroad cars, and a furnace la also about being erected.—. Exchange. Harrisburg is, beyond doubt, Increasing very rapidly in population, wealth and business. The same may be said of York, Reading, Poltsville, West Chester, and Indeed of most of iho towns of our State. Carlisle appears to be an exception to the general prosperity. Here, with every advantage an Inland town can possess, we remain stationary —in a kind of Rip Van Winkle sleep, which we cannot shake off. We have, it is true, a great deal of wealth in Carlisle, dnd perhaps no town in the State of the Same population can boast of more intelligence. Our borough is beautifully located. In the heart of ihe great Cumberland Val ley, is at all times free from prevailing epidemics, and is, in all respects, b heartsome and pretty place. We have here a military post and College, and in a few months we shall have our Water and Gas Works in operation. Within the bounds of our county we have several fashionable watering and other romantic places of resort; our county also abounds with iron ore and other mineral wealth, and the soil of the valley is rich and pro ductive, yielding to iho husbandman fifty and an hundred fold. All In all, Cumberland is one of the richest as it is one of the most beautiful coun ties in the State; and the same may be said of Carlisle as a town. Why (hen is it, let us ash, that our town re* mains stationary 1 Why is it that tho energies of oar people continue dormant 1 We confess it is a difficult mailer to answer these questions satis factorily. We know our town is suffering, for want of proper pride and proper energy on the part of our citizens, but how to apply the remedy—aye, (hats the question. For more than eight years we have been urging, with all our ability, certain necessary improvements in our borough, and more energy of character on the part of our citizens We are roost happy lo say that three great objects we had in view, have been or are about to be ac coroplished, namely our aide walks well paved, and water and gas introduced into oor lowty These are noble improvements, and our hope'now is that Carlisle is about to lake a start, and com pete with neighboring towns for a business char acter. Our capitalists should now throw aside their lethargy, invest their money in business, and go lo work in earnest. They have been asleep long enough—let them now wake op lo a true sense of their duly as citizens of the “court town of the Slate.” If the introduction of water and gas into oor town haa not the effect lo stimulate business, then we will confess our efforts to better the condition of our people have been io vain.— With these advantages, if Carlisle don’t now lake a atari, and exhibit a business aspect, she never w certain. There can be no hope for her this side the day of resurrection, and not much then, we fear. \\ lih the advantages we have been speaking of, why can’v we, like Harrisburg, York, and a dozen other towns we might mention, have our half do zen of machine shops, rolling mills, steam merch ant mills, cotton factory, cutelry establishroer , wwituii taclory, **l &c M sic.l Why can't ©very ad gantry Wo have Ihe f'ffH tcould be we lack enterprise, and moat of oar capitalists are 100 eopremoly selfish to even give encourage* merit to strangers who would, if they had the op portunity, make Carlisle what she should be.— But wo ;hopo tho Scales may d.op from (ho eyes of our wealthy men, and that hereafter they may become as noted in pushing forward all binds of enterprise, as they have heretofore been sluggish and penurious. So mole it be. We shall, al the proper time, refer to this sub jecl again. We feel a deep interest in the pros, periiy of our town, and feel provoked at limes that we have not more men of enterprize and spirit.— We shall continue to remind them of our advan tages as a town, and the wealth that is in store fur n, if it can only be brought out. CONGRESSIONAL. A bill has already been introduced for extend* ing the benefit of the Pension Laws to all who served in the last war with Great Britain and in the Indian wars prior thereto—also, a Homestead bill—several bills granting lands lo States for rail roads—a resolution in favor of a railroad to the Pacific—a bill providing for the appointment of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury by the Presi. dent and Senate—also, to establish a line of mail steamers from San Francisco lo Shanghai, via the Sandwich Islands—to reduce and graduate the price of the public lands—granting remedies lo patentees—to organize the Territory of Nebraska —to extend the time for paying duties on railroad iron—lo establish an Agricultural Department uf ibe Government—to pay tho French spoliations— to pay the fourth instalment of surplus revenue to the States, under the act of 183 G—lo purchase the Mount Vernon estate, with several other bills of minor importance. On mutton of Gen. Cass, a resolution was adop. ted by the Senate, catling upon (he President for) rtll the correspondence between Great Britain and the United States, growing out of tho Clayton* Oulwei treaty of 1860, and touching upon the vex ed question of the Fisheries. When this question comes up in tho Senate, it wilt doubtless give rise to a protracted debate, inasmuch as Mr. Clayton is now a member of that body, and will make a powerful effort lo defend his course while Secre tary of State. Governor Bigler* This gerfllemao, says the Tioga EogU, lu« won the admiration of (ho people ainoo h!a ad* vent into the Executive Chair. Ho has proved -him* •elf eminently qualified for tho position of Chief Magistrate pfPeDasylvaDia,and, in the discharge of his onerous duliosi has displayed intellect, fur beyond the ordinary statesman. All hia State papers boar the impress of^sound republican doctrine, sed indi* cate a high toned eenie of State pride. .His integ rity is uniropoached, and wo think bis administra tion throughout, needs no defence at the hands of of his political friends. Tho wisdom of his coarse is fully appreciated by the masses, and his official career has been commended by (he Democracy, in their primary meetings, In nearly every county lo the Commonwealth. According to tiomoerstio osuago, Gov. Bigler is entitled lo the second term, and ifappoaraneca indi cate anything, he will receive the unanimous re nomination, in (ho next State ponvonllon* which will bo held at Harrisburg, on the 6th day of next March. There is a majority of tho Delegates al ready elected, in hia favor, and with (he exception: of ono or two counties, we think the entire de|ega»' lion will bo instructed to support him on the'first ballot. Of his triumphant election, (here is not, of cannot bo a doubt. True, Micro are some calling themselves Democrats, dissatisfied, and, of course, (hero will always be some crooked no matter how friviloua the pretext may. be for opposition.*-* Opponents there will always be, in political strife, and Gov. Bigler is not an exception lo tho genera) rule,but (ho opposition to him, in (ho Democratic. ’ ranks, is of tho smallest kind, end will scarcely make a riffle on the calm smooth surface of Democratic organization. The Homestead Bill* The fool that notice has already been given !p both Hooaee of Congress that the homestead bill will be introduced at an early day is significant of the interest which is fell on the subject. The no tice in the House was given by Mr. Dawson* of Pennsylvania* and the title of the bill he proposes to introduce is as follows: “A bill to encourage agriculture, commerce, manufactures, and all other branches of industry, by granting to every roan who is the head of a family and a citizen of the United States a tract of one hundred end sixty acres of land out of the public domain, upon condition of occupancy and cultivation of the same,' 1 &c. Notices have been given in the Senate by Sen* aturs Gwin and Chase; and by reference to the proceedings in the Senate on the 9th lost., it will be seen that Mr. Gwin has already introduced his bill. Soldikhs or the War ot 1812.—We are grail* Red lo see that Coi. Florence, on ihe first day ol the meeting of Congress, gave notice that on eon* subsequent day he would introduce a bill so .to amend the Act of September 23d, 1950, granting bounty land to the soldiers of the war of 1612, as to give to all persons intended lo be benefitted by said act of Congress, and the seamen end marines who served in the war of 1812, and in the Indian war of 1779, one hundred and sixty acres of land. Mr. Brodhcad, in the Senate, the same day, gave notice of a similar move of his in'that body. This early movement in behalf of this act of justice to the soldiers of 1812, by these two representatives from the State of Pennsylvania, cannot fail lo be productive of the deftired result, as it will be see* onded by the influence and support of a numb. the most talonteil ,Jquonl members of. both ihe Senate and House of Representatives. Col, Florence is known lo be zealously devoted to Ihtf object, and will give U his valuable,aid during the entire session? Fire !_We learn from llio Perry County Peo* “! ple't Jdoocale, tliat (he town of New Buffalo©, In ( that couniy, was the scene of a disastrous fire on t Sunday morning, the 1 lih instant. Three houses were consumed, two of which belonged to Mr. Jacob Eyer. They were occupied by the families of Mr. James Linton and Mr. Drummond. Both these gentlemen were absent at the time. The fire is supposed to have originated from the stove, ns the females had been ironing clothes until a lato hour on Saturday night. The fire was dis covered about 2 o’clock In the morning by some I boatmen, who were passing along.the canal at the time. They broke open the door, but were de terred from entering the house to awaken the wo men and children by the fire and smoke, they • succeeded, however, in arousing and rescuing > them through the second story window. The i children (4 or 5 in number,) were thrown into the i arms of the men below, the women were rescued • by letting themselves down as far as possible, p then dropping into the arms of the bystanders. f If the boatmen had discovered the fire ten mln . utes later six or seven human beings would have I met an untimely and horrible death. Printer ov tub Senate.—Beverly Tucker, editor of the Washington Sentinel, was elected Printer of the Senate on Monday week. The vptc was secret, but a despatch to tho Pennsylvanian says, fifteen out of seventeen Whigs present in the Senate, voted for him; and also Messrs. Dou glas, Bright, Jones, of Iowa; Mason, Hunter, Atchison, Weller, Urodhead, Wright, Thompson, of Now Jersey, and Adams. Mr. Bel!, voted for Gen. Armstrong, end Mr. Jones, of Tenn.«jfor Messrs. Gales and Seaton. [ Liberal. Offer. —Francis W. Hughes, nC y General of the Stale, offers "in a letter, to Rev. Daniel Washburn, the sum of $5,000 for the establishment uf a miner’s hospital at Pallav)|)«. provided the sum of $15,000 la raised by other |i*r. lies for thle purpose.

Tho session will be continued for three or four days. Tho active friends of general education throughout Iho State will, bo present, and ell who feel themselves Interested in (ho cause are respectfully and urgently requested lo attend end take pari in (ho discussions and deliberations. The groat object proposed to be gained is to toad to moro liberal end enlightened action upon the part of every community, in support ing schools for tho proper education of (he youth of the Stale, for the dulics.of. citizenship ;Jo secure such additional legislation os may bo necessary; lo Infuse into tho minds.of teachers a love for their profession and to honor iUby tho highest attainments in the performance of their responsible (rust ; and to give to tho .cause of general education sucli a place in tho public mind as its high impor* tones demands.'. .

Alleged Defrauding or an old Man out or 95000. —Another of tliba'e shrewd- operations, sayslho Now York Timet,similar to the*'Niles 1 * and "Or. Sey mour, *’ cases, by Which men of weak minds Icged to have been, duped and defrauded out of (heir money and other property, has been brought lo light in New York city, and is now the subject of a legal inquiry, FoUr men, living at Easton, Pa., leagued with a young woman, on or about the Ist instant, were successful it is charged in victimizing a resi dent of that village, named Benjamin Green, out of money and good endorsed paper, amounting to up wards 0f95000. One of the parties was a medical student, named James Stevenson, who was in the office of the old gentleman's son John. The other mao who acted in concert with Stevenson was Isaac Parker. The mainspring in tho alleged crime was the female, into whoso room tho venerable gentleman, it is charged, was inveigled, and whore he was Ab srqacnlly pounced upon and ordered to "pay up,"or render himself liable to a civil and criminal prosccu lion for crim eon. Dy these threats tho old gentle man was frightened oat of a note for 93,100 and over 11,000 more in Cash. The men immediately fled, bnt were followed to this city on (bo same train, and watched closely until each had secured apartments at hotels. The student was token into custody, and over 950 of tho funds wrung out of Green was foand in his possession. In tho meantime, Parker was arrested at his rooms, in Cedar street, and upon searching him, nearly $l,. 400 of (he funds it is alleged was found secrccted in one of his bouts, 91300 of (his money was in 9100 bills, answering the description of those illegally pro cured from (he victim. Owing to the. advanced ago (80 years) of Mr. G«eon, ho was unable lo undertake •ho long journey, and Mr. Maxwell acta for bim by virtue pf a> power of attorney. Copper vs. Cholera.— lt is stated that many of the citizens of Now Printing,, linMTrmndrd themselves nl i~M|i|ini about six inches long and three wido, which .they carry about them as a protection against the cholera. They have been in duced to ibis course by an alleged discovery by Dr. Burd, of Palis, who slates that in certain streets of that capital, as well as in other cities, while the cholera prevailed in almost every other quarter, every Coppersmith retained his psosl health, and not » bholerd ease occurred among them. Tbo copper fobnderies in Paris dumber thousands of workmen, scarcely any of whom fell victims to tho cholera of 1832. or of 1849. Attacked bt a Tiber,—On Saturday evening, Mr. Dricabach, tho lion king, while exhibiting his feats in a den which contained wild animals, at the Broadway Menagerie, was attacked by one of them, a large Brazilian tiger, who sprang upon him, knocked him down and fastened his teeth in his breast. A lioness sprang (a (ho assistance of her master, but unfortunately struck him a powerful blow in tho chest, which aho intended for the tiger, and thus made matters worse. Ono of the keepers then open, cd tho door and dragged Mr. D. out. He was im mediately attended by a physician who who found that only flesh wounds hsd been inflicted, and (hose not of a dangerous character. Tho audrcnce were highly excited during the lime the scone was en acting. This is the first time in two months Ural tho tiger has becn j exlttbited, and it is probable that the glare oflhe gue lighta rendered him confused and excited. Ho was always looked upon by Mr. D., as one of his pot animals, and extremely tamo and docile.

Wo call tho ottontion of our readers, says ths Washington Snlinel, to the touching and eloquent remarks made yesterday in the Senate and House of Representatives, In relation to the death of the Hon.

To our readers it is known (hot ho Riled with distinction the high position of Minister lo Franco—that for many years ho was a member of tho House of Rop* rcsentatives, and a member and a shining ornament of the Senate, of which latter body ho was chosen President.' The ability and dignity with which ho presided over tho deliberations of that grave and illustrious body, tho amenity of his manners and tho lofty qualities of ills chivalrous character, won (ho respect, confidence, and affection of his distinguish* cd associates. From the Senate he was transferred by the spontaneous suffrages of (his free people lo | the next highest office within their gift—the Vico I Presidency. Tho unavoidable shaft of the relent less destroyer, that spares neither tho high or the low, the great or the humble—marked him as a shining victim. It is meet that the eloquent Iribu lea rendered to his memory by (ho representatives of the States end of the people of this confederacy, should be spread be Toro that people who appreciated his virtues and who sensibly feel his loss. They are tributes worthy alike of the illustrious dead and the distinguished authors of them. The speakers of this sad occasion, in the Senate, wore, Messrs.

European ALllance Against Russia.— The re port (hat England and France haa made a treaty to protect Torkey against Russia, seems to gain cre dence in Europe. The London Times of the 28llt ull., has a strong and ably reasoned article endeav oring to induce the Governments of Austria and Prussia lo abandon their neutral posh ion—that (heir best policy is to join England and Franco, qb it ia only by their combined Influence Europe can bo preserved from a general war. Tho Times sees tho danger ahead of allowing (ho Turkish hostilities lo spread,njid tho inevitable result it will produce of involving all tho nations of Europe in a sanguinary war. If the object of Austria aod Prussia, it soya, bo (ho maintenance of peace, if their finances are embarrassed, if they are haunted hy the dread of revolution, they are bound by every consideration of policy and prudence, lo make common cause will) Franco and England in bringing this war lo a close* by a firm resistance to .the pretensions of Ruesih oh.
