Kurtz, our member of Congress, will please accept our thanks for the copies of the Patent Office Report he sent us. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. The ticket agreed upon by the Democratic County Convention-, is, beyond question, one of the best ever presented to the people of Cum berland county. From top to bottom it is un exceptionable—composed, ns it. is. of men of sterling moral and political integrity, whose characters, in all respects, will bear the most searching scrutiny. It is a ticket of which the Democracy of this county may well feel proud, and will command the respect of men of all parties. It is worthy of and entitled to the best charts of the Democratic party, and will most certainly be elected triumphantly, if our friends arc active and zealous behalf of their candidates. The County Convention, we were pleased to see, Was composed of the best and ablest men of the different townships —an evidence that the Democracy were awake to the importance of having a good ticket selected. And now that the Convention performed their duty so well, we urge our friends in the different words, bor oughs and townships to organize early and de termine on victory. Let them make a bold nnd vigorous effort for the whole ticket, and its success will be certain on the second Tuesday of October. We shall have more to say on this subject on future occasions. (Iv* We learn that a vote for County officers took place in all the Know-Nothing Lodges of this county on Saturday night last. On Tues day the aggregate vote was counted up in the room of the Carlisle lodge, when it appeared that Rohert Moore, Jr., (formerly County Treasurer,) had a majority of all the votes cast for Assemblyman. James Orr. of Hampden township, had a majority for County Commis sioner ; nnd James Posti.kw ut, of Carlisle, a majority for Coroner. These men were de clared nominated. No other nominations were effected. The principal competitors for the Sheriffalty, were Wm. Rkii.v (late Clerk to the County Commissioners) and Col. Robert M’- Gautxy, both of Carlisle. M’Cartny beats Rcily 45 voles, —but yet has not a majority of the whole, and therefore fails of a nomination. John G. Williams of this place, received the highest vote for Treasurer, but not enough to nominate him. The lodges arc to meet soon again to make another effort at completing the ticket. The whole number of votes cast in the coun ty, we learn, was between 700 ami 800—an evidence that Know-Nothingisui ia oi> the wane in old Mother Cumberland. Lbttkr from Wm. B. Ukkiv. —OVr the first page of to-day's paper will bo found a wither ing denunciation of Know-Nothingism from the pcn'bfWM. B. Reed, Esq., the District Alter t ncy of Philadelphia, which, for force of argu ment and bitter*sarcasm, is equal to anytliing we have ever read. Mr. Reed, as will be seen letter, is an old-lino-Whig, and was h member of the Whig State Central Committee, which position he resigns because of the base treachery of n majority of his colleagues of the Committee But, we need not go into particu lars. Suffice it to say, Mr. Rbep has always been regarded one of the ablest men in our Stale, a most zealous and consistent Whig, and honorable man. Of course a man of flis char acter would revolt at the very idea of transfer ring the Whig party to the keeping of Know- Nothing lodges. No one should fail to read Mr. R’s letter. To honest Whigs we would commend it particularly. Read it—read it ! Ladies on lloilskhack.—We don't know whether it is the intention of our Countv Ag ricultural Society to oiler a premium for the best lady equestrian who may appear at the Fair this fall. Wc hope so, however, for if there i.s on,qjcib a more fascinating and be- a lovely woman in the (flfcWlng-rooDkir boudoir, it is that same lovc l>llßphn—osJln fad. any other lovely wo- horseback ; taking it for granted, of course, that she knows how to ride, and sits the noblo animal, proud of his glorious burden, like a Muse taking an airy stroll through ether upon the back of Pegasus, and not shivering and shrinking at every stop, like a wooden doll, fearful of falling to pieces. Female equestrian ism is one of the most exquisite luxuries of a high cultivation : an exercise in which every source of healthful and pleasurable emotion is brought into play, pot only for tl*c moment, ' but in nil the movements and occupations nl ! the l*udy, ami which presents the bewildering i outline and undulating beauty of the female' loim in all its ravishing and intoxicating per fection.

Turvrrton Coal.—By reference to the ad vertisement of the Trcverlon Coal Company, in another column, it will bo seen that arrange ments have been made with Mr. Murray and Mr. Surom, that will enable them to supply our citizens with this superior coal at nil tirpes, and in any quantity.. We have used this coal, And can vouch for its superiority. Opinions op tub Supreme Court—The judges of the Supreme Court delivered a num ber of opinions, at an adjourned session of said 'court, at Bedford, on the 13th inst.

The sworn minions of Know-Nothingism arc evidently alarmed at the independent stand'ta ken by a largo portion of the old line Whigs—, or, Henry Clay Whigs, ns'they generally call themselves. The old personal and political friends of the deceased, statesman—those men who honored him because of his great talents, and his strong advocacy of religious toleration and personal equality—cannot give countenance to intolerant, bigoted and selfish Know-Noth ingism. They oppose this faction from prin ciple—they oppose it because of the wickedness of its teachings and the corruption of its lend ers: because of its blasphemous and unconsti tutional oaths; because they know that if Henry Clay still lived, lie would crush and wither the faction by a glance from bis eagle eye ; because of the baseness of its origin, nnd the depravity it Inculcates: because it tenches disobedience to the Constitution and the laws, nnd requires its members to falsify and preva ricate. These arc a [few of the reasons, and only a few, that induce honest Henry Clay Whigs to plqco the seal of condemnation upon Know-Notliingism. As wo said in the commencement of this ar ticle, the sworn slaves of Kiiow-Nothingism— those men who profit by the organi zation —arc alarm'cd, and aro doing all in their power to prevent these friends of the deceased Kentuckian from coalescing with the Democra cy, with the view to put down and strangle the monster. The Know-Nothing papers appeal to these men—these Henry Clay Whigs—and remind them that the Democrats abused and denounced Mr. Clay when he was a pandidate for the Presidency. Grant, for the sake of ar gument, that this charge is true, what right have the Know-Nothings to make capital from the fact ? In the campaign of 1844, no man in Pennsylvania, perhaps, was more active against Mr. Clay than Gen. Cameron of this State.— He was, at Hint lime, the owner of .some six or eight Democratic papers, and all of them oppo sed Mr. Clay with unusual zeal. And yet tins Gen. Cameron, the principal opposcr of Mr. Clay in 1n44. was the nominee of the Know-Nothings of the last legislature for U. S. Senator, and would have been elected but for the obstinacy of a few of the “brethren,” who refused to vote for him. Gen. Cameron’s de nunciation of Mr. Clay in 1844, did not prevent prominent Whig Know-Nothings from support ing him for a high and honorable position; nnd yet these same men turn round and attempt to prejudice old-line-Whigs against voting for Do-, mocrats, because they (the Democrats) abused Henry Clay in 1844. What consistency I Whig Know-Nothings themselves endorse and elect to office Mr. Clay’s bitterest and most vindictive enemies. It don’t become them, therefore, to attempt to frighten old-line-Whigs by appeals of this kind, for the friends of Hen ry Clay can turn round and ask these Whig j Know-Nothings why they support the malign ! era of Mr. Clay for office ? What man is this county denounced and vil ified Ukn'ry Ci.av more heartily and with a greater relish than our present Know-Nothing Congressman ? And yet he was the nominee, not only ol the Know-Nothing* but also of the Whigs of the district, and received every Whig- Know-Nothing vote! And in the face of these facts Know-Nothing Whigs affect great sur prise because the friends of the great Kentuck ian arc determined 5 vote and act as they please hcrcaftcrj and they attempt to frighten them from thcirpurpo.se by reminding them that they I arc joining Mr. Clat’b former enemies if they oppose Know-Nothi r'srn ! Fudge.. IlENnr Ci.w’s son understands these croakers, and is bold to denounce thcm f and reject their pre tended friendship for thv memory of his illustri ous father. Wc venture to say that the Know-Nothings of this county will have on their ticket several men who were the bitter opponents of Mr. Clay m 1K44 : nay, not only his opponents, but his revilers. But yet, notwithstanding thnr en dorsement of these revilers of Mr. Clay, they I whisper in the cars of the old-Hnc*Wbigs, and say to them, "now don't vote Aw any of the Democratic candidates, for If you do you will be supporting those who abused Mr. Cur in 1844.” Was there over so weak an argument —ever so palpable attempt at deception? The old-line-Whiga—the real friends of their former chief—see through It, and will spurn and dis regard the advice, and, wc doubt not. will join bands with James B. Clay to crush forever, and in thcquickesl possible maimer, the demon o Kiiuw-Notningisra. tales! Foreign News. The steamship arrived at New York on the 15th Inst-, with news from Europe two days aur. A report was gaining ground that Den. Mm son, .commander of (he English army at .Sebastopol, was about to resign ou account of ill health, and be succeeded by Lord Hard ingc, but another report says that Pelissier has arranged the forces for an assault upon the Russian works: (’anrobert to command the right column, Simpson the left, and Pelissier the reserve. Gen. Count Zamoyski, a distin guished Pole, lias arrived in-London by special invitation of the British government, to con sult, it is supposed, on the Polish question.— The French works at Sebastopol arc so close to the abaltis of the MalakoO that a man may throw a stone into it. There seems to be a doubt about tho death of Gen. Tudlcben, the Russian engineer, and some accounts slate that he is recovering froln his wounds.
