I ’ Under this caption the and American of last week urge the propriety of erecting a ’Fountain in the Campus of Dickinson College— the cost of which to bo paid by tho citizens of Carlisle! When wo read the article in the Her ald on (he subject, we regarded it a good joke by tho editor, not'supposing for a moment that the idea was seriously entertained; but our mind was disabused when wo picked up the American, and found a much more extended notice of the “enterprise.* 1 It will only cost •some S4OO or 8500, and as the College is “un abloof Itself to build tho fountain,” the citi tensof Carlisle are seriously requested to “make the Campus equal to Franklin Square In Phila delphia !” This is cool, decidedly—we would’nt care to have a Fountain in our own garden, if the citizens of Carlisle will only do us tho favor to erect one for us ; wo like to have things nice about ns, particularly if they cost us nothing. But seriously, is it not humiliating to scoDick inson College make this oppeal to our citizens, and that 100 on the plea of poverty ? Somj of the “professors” of that institution can find time and money enough to travel from one county to tho other, delivering cut-and dry Know-Nothing speeches, but when they want funds to erect a Fountain they put in the plea of poverty, and ask to bo relieved by the citi zens of Carlisle. Wc are in favor of Fountains being erected in the heart of our town, and cheerfully second the suggestion of our neighbor of the American, that "one on tho Presbyterian square to be built by the Presbyterian Church, one on the Episcopal square, to bo built by tho Episcopal Church, one on the Market Souse square, to be built by the Town Council, and ono on the Court House square, to bo built by the Com missioners.” And, if Dickinson College wishes to enjoy the luxury, let her have a Fountain too, but not at the expense of our Borough. Repairing tub Streets. —Wc are glad to bco a disposition manifested by our Borough authorities to put our streets in good condition; and we hope, while they arc about it, that all the streets will be well levelled off. and put in complete repair. Now that we are to have 1 good pavements, wo should also have good streets, and thus mako Carlisle the handsomest inland town in the State. While on this sub ject, we may mention that the streets cannot be repaired with old brick-bats, and wc are sorry to sec this kind of repairing resorted to. In a few months the bricks will be ground,t* powder, and every gale of wind will carry the dust from one cod of the street to the other.— In about three years all the dust from the 1 brick-bats will have been blown away—a good portion of it into the houses of our citizens.— Our Town Council should see to this, and have the brick-bats removed where they have been used for repairing the streets. If permitted to remain they will prove a nuisance for several years to come. tC7“ Tho rains of Friday and Saturday ex tended over a considerable extent of country, ■which needed it very badly. It is said that tho country has been benefited to tho extent ol millions of dollars by them. Col. Wells Covcrly, tho well known and popular proprietor of Covcrly*u Hotel, in Har risburg, trill have charge of tho Columbia House, at Cape May, during tho approaching season. Fia* is Took. —Tho borough of York was visited by a serious conflagration on Mon day evening of last week. Tho fire commoncad In’ a stable to Luttman's Hotel In Ooorgo-stroet, and quickly spread to seven ad joining dwellings, three shops and flvo stables, all of which wore destroyed. Tho sufferers by fire embrace Dr. Robert Patterson, M. Lultman, Thomas Shall, Mrs. Mcrldcth, John Mitzol, A. H. Prey, Mrs. Rupp, D. Ford, Sinn Krouso and T. E. Cochran, Esq. A great deal of furniture was destroyed. Tho York papers say U was un questionably the work ofan Incendiary. Virginia.—The election in Virginia for Slatocfflccrs and members of Congress takes place to-day,the 21th inst. .The contest is be tween the Democracy and tho Know-Nothings, the Whigs having surrendered their organiza : tlbn and united with the latter. The Second Adventists liad fixed upon Saturday last os the day when tho earth was to be scorched to a crisp. The untimely rain interfered with the fireworks, and wo have nn ' other breathing spill. for u short time longer. K 7" An exchange say* Hint the time fixed upon for (he end of the world by the followers of father Miller— the 10th insl.—was postpon ed on account of (ho Virginia election ! The Posi-Ottice Depm iincni Ims framed a scries of instructions for the guidance ofPoat Masters, upon the introduction of the new sys tem for tho registration of valuable letters.— *Khe plan is to go into operation on tho Ist of July next, on and after which date any letter , k° registered and receipted for, upon pay xnent of a five cents, extraordinary care dntm M naur9 N* safe delivery at its m POLLOCK’S APPOINTMENTS. It is a notorious fact that tho men appointed by PotLOck to the most lucrative offlccsin hia gift, are totally disqualified for the' duties they are required to perform, and several of them are as bankrupt in moral as they ate in pofifK cal character. "■ Stephen Miller, a. Methodist i preacher, and the editor of that weak, degrad ed and lying sheet, the Harrisburg Telegraph, Is the Flour Inspector. Wu. D. Bakeb, a pet tifogger lawyer, is Bark Inspector. John H. Ssltzeb, a Doctor of Berks county—and a great humbug at that—is the Whibkcy.lnspcctor ! Of course these professional gentlemen did not receive their appointments because of their qualifications,but because they are active mem bers of the Infidel order of Know-Nothings. Oh, if the people could but have an opportunity to express their disapprobation of Qov< Pollock's acts —would’nt ‘ they “give him fits?” ’ We venture to say that were he now a Candidate for Governor,'fatter the people have got their eyes open, and have.sccri the infamy of hispub , lie pets,) he would be defeated in every county in the commonwealth.. In this section of coun try he'has hot a friend, nor do we believe there is a “Pollock man” in Cumberland county.— Even the three opposition papers of this coun ty, if not directly opposed id him, are at least cold and indifferent, and never, say ’ a word in his defence, but have often-condemned some of his leading measures. This county gave Fol> LOOK a majority of 576, and,,should ho ever again be a candidate we can-give 3,000 against him 1 No doubt about it. Pollock and hia venal administration arc despised by all classes of men, and the minions and tools who hold tho fht offices under him are regarded with abhor- rcnce. Wo said before tho election that the people would soon have enough Pollock should they elect him to (he Governor s .chair, but wc did not then suppose that the feeling against him would be so soon expressed, and so gener al in all parts of the Stale. But so it is—he has been tried and found wanting. Wc have not been mistaken in him, for always re garded him a very ordinary, if not a very weak 1 man—totally deficient in all tho requisites a Governor should possess. lie was elected through the influence of a secret oath-bound order, of which he is and was a member. But the power of this faction of Thugs has depart ed, and Gov. Pollock is left with none to sus tain him except the few serfs who feed off his official patronage, “Serves him right,” say hon orable men of all parties. lie was mean enough to forsake the party that placed him in nomina tion, to join tho Ned Bdstlikitrs, and has ostracised and repudiated tho llemrt Clat Whigs, and bestowed his patronage upon a set of adventurers, who were equally destitute of qualifications as of character- Such** man de serves. not only the opposition of all right thinking men, but is entitled to their scorn. Toe Weather and tub Chops.—The spring comes on slowly, but the farmers have-bettor reason to be satisfied with Its promises, than if it had been as last year, a succession of early thaws and late frosts. Moat of- the Spring work in the way of putting in crops, &c., in this county has been finished. 'We hear from almost all quarters of tho State, that things look au spicious for an abundant year. We sincerely hope it may prove so, for there is every proba bility that all we can raise this year, and more perhaps will be needed* No available patch or corncrof groundshould be left uuused; and there Is hardly any that cannot be made profitable one way or the other. A man saves uo- small sum, as prices are now a days, who raises potatoes and Qlhcr vegetables for his own use, to say nothing of raising them for sale. And an acre of wheat or com the present year, is worth os much to Us proprietor as two or three acres wore in 1850. It amounts to the same thing, for all practical purposes, as f each farmer's land was double in. size. From a great number of extracls-from papers in various sections, showing tho prospects in their localities, wo make a general summary: In our own Slate, Pennsylvania, crops of all kind look well and promise an abundant har vest. In one or two localities, perhaps, there I may bo a complaint, bqt as a general thing the I papers all speak with confidence of -the reward [ which will crown the labor of the husbandman. Wheat, in western New York, is said to be looking unusually fine. The Livingston and Ontario papers say that at least a quarter more than usual has been sown. In the eastern part of the State it has not got so good a start owing to the lack of rain, but still promises well. In Ohio heavy spring crops have been put in and vegetation, it is said, never came forward with greater rapidity. In Michigan, though“frccz ings and thawings*' at first nearly destroyed the leaf, it has revived and Is doing well. In northern Indiana it has rarely, if ever, started better, though in the southern part of the State it looks badly. Three times the amount ever put in before has been sown. In Illinois and Wisconsin, it is remarkably fine. ‘,‘lf no unto ward event interposes,’ 1 says the Chicago pa per, “the northwest, which is the granary of tho Onion, will turn out a surplus which will gladcn tho hearts of the bi endless In tho east ern cities. New Jersey prospects are much the same as in New York. In western Virginia, it has been doing badly, but no apprehensions arc now entertained that the cropwill fall short of tho average. In Georgia, however, the long drouth U is believed has considerably damaged tho prospects of a fair crop. In Maryland things indicate an unusually largo one, as they do in Kentucky and Tennessee where much more ttian tho usual amount has been awon. So in Texas. It is altogether to soon to speculate abouttho Corn crop in tho northern Slates. In Virginia, Maryland and southern Indlana.thcy have been planting with good weather, and fair prospects. But in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi ana and Texas, where it ought to bo now more than a foot high, it is looking worse than in many years. Some is killed outright, and near ly all greatly injured by tho long drouth. There is reason to apprehend that tho yield in these Stales will fall much below the usual crop. • (lay will depend a great deni upon tho rains, or lack of them, this month. Around this neighborhood, and in most parts of tho Stale, tho grass has been in much need of the rain that has fallen within the past week. In tho northern counties it has not got a good start for iho same reason. Out West, grass is forward, and in Ohio is said to bo growing finely. We are glad to learn that Oats, Potatoes, Turnips and Buckwheat are almost everywhere planted in larger quantities than last year, though we observe that Georgia and some w«s* tern papers say that there will be a short ; arop. of Potatoes in the!?, neighborhood, on' accooh) 1 of tho difficulty ofobtaipiiigsccd. •; |; ' | - &s;for Fruit; the publics may as Well mike op thfeir minds to do without Peach® this year; cxcepias a great luxury.'

Tho spirit of improvement has at last reach* cd Carlisle, at least wo Judge so from tho symp toms we see around us. Water and gas will refresh and enlighten our citizens, and brick pavements, supplant the rough walks which have tortured them so long. Our churches too .aro endeavoring to keep pace with, and in some instances to lead in the laudable effort to make Carlisle, (favored by nature,) attractive by art. ; ' The German Reformed Church In Leather street, will soon present one Of IhehandSomest fronts ever given to any church incur bprough. The congregation having found it necessary to enlarge their , houso of worship, it was deter mined that a new front should also adorn the building. The following plan was then pro posed arid decided,op t~The chubch la’. to be enlarged in front <\2'. feet in length and 8 feet in width. . The Gothic front of the building will be surmounted by a steeple which will give to that part of the edifice n height of. 122 feet. TheGolbic windows of stained glass will each contain 516 panes. The interior of the church is to bfe frescoed by a superior artist. The church, When finished, will be an ornament and great improvement Co tho part of tho borough in which ic stands. The relaying of the cornerstone, which had become accessary in consequence of the,remov al of the part of tho wall in which tho stone bad been inserted, took place on the 9th of May, at II o’clock A. M. After the morning service had been concluded, the pastor of the church, together with Rcvds. Dr. Ncrin, E. V. Gcrhardt, Jones, Conscr, Fry and Keller, pro ceeded to tho South-east comer of wall; where a new and beautiful stone had been deposited for the occasion. The pastor then performed the ceremony according to tho usages o! tbochurcb, and after & very impressive prayer byrDr. Kev in, the following articles were deposited in the stone, viz : Ist. Articles found iu the first stone, laid 1835—The Holy Bible, Genu., Rcf.Hymn book and Heidlebcrg Catechism in the Goman Language, Mctalio plate, containing tho names of the arcbitcca and building committee and documents, copy of the Herald of 1835, con taining death notice of Chief Justice Slarshall, 2d. Additional articles deposited; German Rtf. Hymn book in English, catechism,constitution add forms,' periodicals of tho church, usual documents and (he minutes of the synod of 1854. " Rev. Mr. KnsusE.tho pastor of tho church, we learn,has by his zeal and perscvcrc&nco, in duced his people to undertake this very beauti ful improvement. . , Mr. Krembu has been the pastor of this con gregation for, ten years, and deserves great credit for his perseverance and industry as well &s for the consistent course with which ho has conducted his share in tho administration of the afiairs of the church. .He found tho congrega tion, if wo ore not misinformed, feeble, broken in spirit and wanning; he sc n s it now prosper ing.growlng, and full of hope and zeal.

GALIFOBNU NEWS* By the arrival, at New “York; of the steam- 1 ship Illinois, wo have advices from California eight dayslatcr. She brings 81,115,000 of the treasure saved from tho wreck of the steamship Golden Ago. which vessel struck on a sunken 'rock oQ the southwest end of the island of Kico ron, and commenced leaking so badly (hat she was run ashore. After a detention of two days tho passengers, mails and treasure were taken off by the steamship John L. Stephens, and con veyed to Panama, whither she' had been sent for the purpose. Although the Golden Age is styled a wreck, there is a strong probability that she will be.got oft. In California, business was very dull, and many failures had occurred. The money mar ket continues tight, though contldcnco was par -1 tially restored. Seventeen vessels -from Atlan tic porta bad arrived at San Francisco within ’ six days. Tho mint had not resumed opera -1 tions. The miners were doing well, but owing to the scarcity of coin very little dost reached the market. Bain had fallen steadily in the 1 valleys for a week, and in tho mountains had fallen to a great depth. From the Kern river diggings the nows is still contradictory. In tho local elections throughout California the Know-Nothings have triumphed every where, except at San Joso, where they were beaten by a fusion of all the opposition. Tho 'unsatisfac tory slate of commercial and other avocations was driving large numbers of clerks and me chanics to tho mines. A secret society, oppos ed to the Know-Nothings, has been organised all through California. It is called Freedom’s Phalanx. Tho Legislature had fixed April 30lh • for its adjournment, and it is thought doubt ful whether another attempt will bo made this session to elect aU> S. Senator. A stringent law against gambling has been enacted, and the effect of which, it is thought, will bo to shut up all the gaming houses. Tna Founxn or Jolt Convention.—Ti Harrisburg Keystone directs attention to the fact that no movement has yet been made in some counties for appointing delegates to iho ' 4th of July Democratic Slate Convention. This omission of duty should bo immediately remi -1 d ; cd. Important subjects wilt corao before the I Convention, and no district shoflld bo unrep* resented. The'best interests of the Common wealth demand tho ro*catablishmcnt of the Democratic party in power, and every prelimi nary step to that desirable end should be care fully taken. ■£7-Tbo Wilmington, Del. municipal elec tion took place on Tuesday. The Democrats elected ell their city ticket except their candi date for mayor, who was beaten 17 rotes by his Know-Nothing opponent. Lost year tho K. N’s beat tho Whigs 120 votes and tho Democrats 600. So the secret order fades out. IC7“ Cholera has broken out on several boats navigating tho Upper Mississippi River.— There were on tho last trip of tho now George town several coses ot cholera. Five were bur ied at Quincy, and four others died beforo tho boat reached Keokuk. They were all dock passengers. TO OLOBf Drift DEPARTED. The ephemeral Know-Nothmg party scans to have nambmd ita daj l is feat sinking into decays .Its principles of “opposition to foreigners, 1 * “wof to the knife on Roman Gath olidim',”. aha .’^reform! itform wor- Bhlppcd DS immnentate, are now warpwj (q suit the fancies,of different localities, arid the party has become a potty ponderer for success—a con- UmpUMe suppliant for supporters'to aid its in practising the precept of logo,, "put money in thy purse.” When its existence was first proclaimed to the world, It .was announced ns the paragon of of honcaty.ahd tliG acroe of perfection. It. ek-j orojscd all politicians, and courted only tho support of Iho honest masses. Its principles Were the quiutcßencO of integrity, morality and patriotism, and its leaders schooled their coun tenances into an expression which, for eainlli-, ness, put that of AnmiidaVSlcck to the blush. The extravagance of the old parties it looked at With holy horror, and those who were admitted to its embrace were told that it was destined to produce a kind of second millemum, and that when it Should obtain a fast hold of the reins of government, every man should have everything he wanted, and nobod}' should bo taxed to sup port drone-like officers. But, alas! for human frailty £ "Xho best laid schemes o’ mfco and men Gang aft a-gleo,” . as Bums has said, 1 and this beautifully con cocted scheme of the Know-Nothings proved to be nothing more than a beautiful bubble! Look at its fruits J In Massachusetts, it played tho Paul Pry and the’debauchee, until its very name became a by-word and ; a reproach throughout the whole country,and one of its leaders—a sachem high in its sanhedrim—was ignomlniously ex pelled from his seat !n the Slate Legislature., . In Pennsylvania, its representatives conduct ed themselves in such a manner that sensible men laughtd at their folly, and good men sor rowed at ihvjr wickedness. They legislated thousands—we may say millions of dollars out of the S.tato Treasury; passed imbecile and un just laws,! and ended by voting themselves, thousands of dollars of increased pay. In New York, it has sold itself, body and soul, to Abolitionism, and passed resolutions which, if carried out, would shiver this Union to fragments. . , In Virginia,it has adopted slavery .and shouts itself hoarse in praise of tho "peculiar institu tion.” tl sneers at Abolitionism in the North, and claims to be tho exclusive guardian of the rightsand interests of the South. , In Illinois it has, in general council, resolved lo court the German and Irish vote by haring organized Its members into a free*soil society', and adopted as its motto, "free labor, free speech, free soil, and free States." Nothing is to bo said against foreigners at all, and a blow is only to be aimed at them, when (heir votes have placed the K. N-’s in power. And in Louisiana and California, it has stricken opposition to Bonmn Catholicism from its creed. The New Orleans Bulletin, an organ of tho order', says:, 4, W0 have the authority for say ing that xbis obnoxious and proscriptive feature (the exclusion of Calhtflics from oflicc) does not characterize tho ordcrof Know Nothings in Louisiana. We am vcyy confident that the re ftgiotis element forms no component part of the Louisiana order,; M ere is no' recognized discrimination beticeen Catholics and Protest ants ; and tho Native -' Americans comprehend and embrace, in the fullest sense of the word, those who are born oh the sod, and those only, be they Catholics or Protestants." Such are the prcscnt'.phascs of Know-Noth- ingistu, and such have been its fruits. Every element of success is sought to be inscribed up on its banner, and it U Vfiah, flesh, or fowl,” as circumstances require. Verily, “its glory hath departed. 1 ’ So says the Harrisburg Pa triot. GOT. BEEDEB. The Boston Post, in a letter from Washing ton, says this gentleman is described as a man of about forty-eight of age, of vigorous health, and possessed of physical and moral courage in a high degree, though a man of prudence and moderation. lie is an unambi tious man, and has never courted public office, though well qualified for it. Ho has always belonged to the national democratic school of politics ; and as a mciflbcr of the last two Bal timore democratic conventions, gave his vote | successively for Cass and fierce. He was in favor of tho compromise bf 1850, and of the | Nebraska bill, as carrying out the principle of | that compromise. Of course ho is no obolitist and no frccsoilcr. Uo went to Kansas with th 6 intention of carrying out tho act of the organi zation of the territory, according to its true spirits In this attempt bo found himself op posed by sectional interests on both sides of tbo question. ‘ The northern abolition emigrant associations, with a degree of clamor utterly disproportioned to their real action, declared an intention to settle territory with abolitionists. This neces sarily produced much irritation among the citi zens of Missouri. Got. Reeder, in tho discharge of his duties, had the misfortune to displease both parties, for the reason that ho looked to national, and they to sectional advantage. We believe tho voioo of the nation will sus tain Got. Reeder in bis resistance to the unlaw ful acts of the Missourians, and that the grtal Democratic principle of the people's sovereign ty will bo vindicati on tbo very soil where i I has been outraged. ' h °l y -T! Tne Master Spirit at Sebastopol —a. head engineer at Sebastopol is a young wan named Todlebco, who at the commencement of tho scigo was a captain and almost unknown. When tho fiicgo commenced, Prince Mcnschi koff, It is said, asked the then head engineer how long it would take to put tho place in a state of defence. Heanswered “Two months.” Todleben stepped forward and said ho would undertake to do it, if ho had os many men as ho required, in two weeks. Ifo did it in twelve days, and was tn&do colonel. Since that time ho has had tho direction of everything in tho way of building batteries, defences, &c. Tho other day the Qiand Duke called upon his wife, who is residing in St. Petersburg, to con gratulate her upon her husband’s promotion; for bo is now General and Aido-dc-Camp to tho Emperor. The Russians adopt tho com mon-senso practice of taking tho man who will do the work best and they got it tho best done.
