- The All meeting and exhibition of the Cum
berland County Agricultural Society,-will com
mence on the grounds of the Society; at this
place, on Wednesday, the 17th inst.—to last
three days.. As this ia the first Exhibition of
the Society, we hope to seo our farmers and
others giro the enterprise the attention and en
couragement H deserves. . Every farmer in the
county should at least attend the Exhibition.
If he is too stingy to become ft member, let
him at least come in with his “ quarter,” and
attend the Exhibition, and witness the hun
dreds of articles, stock, grams, implements, &c.,
that will be exhibited by his more enterprising
and more liberal agricultural brethren.
The. Agricultural Society of this county
should, and we hope will be. ere long, one
of the most prosperous in the State. Our val
ley is celebrated for the fertility of its soil and
the intelligence of its farmers. Why, then,
with the advantages wo have over most other
counties, should we not have one s of the most
prosperous Agricultural Societies in the State?
There are, we believe, but six counties in the
State that pay a greater amount of tax into the
State Treasury than Cumberland. Let us also
be able to say that there are not more than six
Agricultural Societies that can boast over us
in general prosperity. Of course we cannot
make this boast now, for the Society ia yet in
its infancy, and this is its first Exhibition:
but by this time next year we hope to see the
Society established upon a firm basis, and
ready to compete with all other County Socie
ties, in wealth and the number of its members.
Prcperations have been, and arc being made
commensurate with the largest expectations.
A beautiful spot of ground has been selected,
laid out in walks, enclosed by fences, and im
proved jn every way, that will add to the gen
eral effect, and promote the comfort of all who
will bo present. There will bo accommodation
(as the Tavern Signs read) for Man and Beast.
We doubt not, wc shall behold a display of
mechanical ingenuity, agricultural wealth, and
well directed industry, such as never before
made proud the heart of Farmer, Mechanic, or
Citizen. While Dynasties are crumbling in
the old -world, and weak-backcd Monarchies
are wrestling with each other for supremacy,
and that “prestige” of power which they
prate of os “ the Diviue Rights of Kings,” and
immolating upon the alter of their selfishness
Hecatombs of victims ; we, in peace, have been
prosperously pursuing the arts of industry .and
dovclopingfrom the fertility of our unsurpassed
soil, wealth, hotrib comfort, and happiness.—
Every Sebastopol or other bone of contention in
Europe, brings to its subjects only taxation,
deprivation, and misery. Every County Fair, or
'Exppsition of peaceful and productive Art,
brings to Ua the Past, causes a glow of pride
and satisfaction in the Present, and gives us
glimpses of the vast future, our country will
realise. All honor then to those great National
virtues which are comprehended in these four
words. Freedom \ Union I Industry! Peace!

Fatal Accibnt.— The last Harrisburg Union
says—On Wednesday morning last, Nathan B.
Miller, one of the hands employed on the Cum
berland Valley Rail Road Bridge, now in pro
cess of construction over the Susquehanna riv
er, at this place, fell a distance of about sixty
feet, into the river, and when taken up was
quite dead. Uo must have struck upon the
pier or rip-raping, as he was much cut about
the head, face and neck. The deceased was
a citizen of Harrisburg, about 30 years of ago,
and leaves a wife and child.
SpxAKsn Botd. —The Henderson (Ky.) Re
porter, of the 21st September, says : “We re
gret to learn of the declining health of that pure
and Incorruptible statesman, ibe Hon. Lynn
Boyd. For some time past he has been labor
ing under chronic diarrhoea, and is now much
emaciated. At last accounts, ho was conval

Col. John 11. Wheeler, against Passmore Wil

and Daniel and Isaiah Johnson, and damages
for personal injuries.
(O* Uonry Ward Beecher has a charmingly
quaint way of expressing himself. Speaking
of the effect of the recent “cold snop” upon the
roots and flowers, he says: “They are asleep
past all outumn-wakmg. The frost, like a
fierce sheriff, has been in and taken possession,
and sealed up all the effects of the year."
PjsutiNbnt.—A Democratic editor in Illi

oOtemporary, cflectually stops his mouth by
tUo following pointed question :
"How did you feel tho first time you took I

a very valuable one to the trado in this portion
of the State.
LUNATIC HOSPITAL, HAEEISBBRO.
During a recent trip to Harrisburg, tre paid
a visit to the Pennsylvania State Lunatic,Ho»-
pital. It was oar first visit to this institution,
and for the polite attention shown üb, byMDr,
Jones, the prcstnt gentlemanly Assistant Phy
eicion, we fed under many obligations.' We
were takctrinto every apartment of the extent
rivo buildings—the rooms of the patients, di
ning-rooms, baking-room, wash-house, Libra*
ry, &c. In taking a cursory view of the insti
tution'and its inmates, wc felt’a degree of pain,
mingled with pleasure—pain at seeing so many
unfortunate fellow-beings laboring under the
great and' distressing calamity, dethronement
of reason; pleasure to notice the tender care
that is bestowed upon the patients. Every
thing in and about the institution is clean and
comfortable, and no efforts are spared on the
part of its efficient officers to render the inmates
as happy as their situation will allow. Kind
ness, good food, proper exercise, and a simple
course of medicine, are some of the means re
sorted to by tbe officers to restore to the par
tients their former reason. Nearly every week
patient are arriving the institution from all
quarters of our State, and numbers ore being
discharged, somo entirely restored, others im
proved.
It is at once a novel and most distressing
sight to look at the patients, in their apart
ments. and mark the various degrees of insani
ty with which they arc afflicted. We first en
tered the male apartment, and no sooner had
wc set foot in it than three of the palicuts ap
proached us. One of them shook our hand
I very cordially, appeared happy os a "lord, and
bade us welcome to his mansion; another (an
incessant talker,) placed his cold bony hand on
our shoulder,and wanted to draw us aside to tell
us all about his troubles ; the third had a wild,
devil-like appearance, and wo confess we feft a
chill pass over us when he jerked our arm and
demanded “a chew of tobacco.” On the im
pulse of the moment wc were about to grant
his request, when Dr. Jones (who accompanied
us.) shook his head, and wo had to deny the
poor fellow his wish. Tobacco, wo believe, is
not allowed to the patients. After a little par
ley. wo got clear of the three patients at the
door. We proceeded on—oh, what a melan
choly sight! Dcro was a poor fellow-creature
on his knees at prayer—a few feet from him
was another in the very highest slate of glee—
farther on could bo seen a young, intelligent
looking man, his hands folded on his breast,
uttering the most dreadful oaths. Before his
derangement he had been very pious. Then
again a large number presented the sadcat
picture of melancholy—others again looked at
us with a vacant stare, and made oil sorts of
ugly faces. They were idiots.
From the male wc passed to the female apart
ment. Here, too, we were met at the thresh
hold. by a smiling little crazy girl, apparently
not over ten years of age. She took our hand,
looked up in our face, and smiled sweetly.—
Scarlet fever was the cause of her derangement.
She is improving rapidly, and no doubt will be
entirely restored before long. In the large par
lor or sitting room, a number, of patients were
iat work, sewing, kitting. &c. As in the male
apartment, various grades of insanity is at once
noticed. The deepest distress was depicted in
the faces of most of the patients. Somo, how-1
ever, appeared cheerful, and to all appearance,
quite rational; others again were ranting and
scolding. A young lady, some 18 or 20 years
of age, attracted our attention. She was hand
some. modest, and of fine person. Her hair
was braided, and her dress becoming and in
good taste. She had no appearance of insanity
in her face or eye, and, had we not been told,
we could not have believed her a patient. When
wo were about leaving the room, however, she
commenced tn langh most immoderately, and
her eyes rolled os she paced the room in the
greatest cxcitemcut. She is an educated lady,
of highly respectable family, has improved
much since she has been in the hospital, and i
strong hopes arc entertained that she will cn-;
tirely recover. Unrequited lore was the cause
of her derangement of mind.
The institution, as wc have said, is admira
bly conducted, and wc hope to sec our Stale
legislature appropriate liberally to its support.
The unfortunate insane deserve our constant
sympathy and aid. Kindness to those poor
creatures will have its reward hero and here
after.

Kossuth on Sedastopol. —The New York
T tints publishes a loiter from Kossuth in rela
tion to the fall of Sebastopol, the leading idea
of which seems to be that the Allies arc very
much in the condition of the man who won an
elephant in a raffle—they will not know what
to do with the fortress, now that they have got
it. He gives it as his ’ ‘'decided opinion that
the prospects of peace »re rather lessened than
otherwise by the fall of the south of the town,”
and still insists upon the belief that it “was n
great mistake that the allies chose that point
for an attack on Russia."

If vhero be one claWof human Wngi on the
face of the earth, who should be detested by
honest men* more than, another, H is those vile
creatures who slander theiri neighbors for the
purpose of accomplishing their own ends*"
: those who speak of another behind .his back,
that which they ftar to speak before bis face.
You will always find such persons mean and
cowardly in the extreme—who would not atop
to pick a man’s pocket, if an opportunity pro*
presented. Whenever arid, wherever these loath
some creatures ore found,they should be spurn-,
ed from the presence of decent society: and if
it be ascertained that their object in slandering
another, is for the purpose of carrying but their
own ends, and thus defeating him whom they
slander, then should every lover of morals, of
decency and of right, discountenance the un
principled coward, who attempts to accomplish
his plans by such debased and wicked means.
The slanderer is more dangerous than the com-!
mon thief, because the first tries to rob you of
your good name, which is the pride of yourself
and your posterity, while the other only ap
propriates to himself your goods and your mon
ey. Far more preferable is it, to loose your
property, than it is to; loose your Well-earned
character. Whenever it, is suspected that a
man is slandering his neighbor, ask him for the
. proof of his assertions, and if be fails to pro
. ducc it, then treat him as you would a common
. thief, or a fugitive *from justice,
“No man that hath a name,
But falsehood and corruption doth it shame.”
The person and character of a malevolent
slanderer, are the best reflectors of his base
slang. Bis fangs contain the venom of the
lurking serpent, and the poison is emitted from
bis hiding place, at every passer by. possessing
the form of humanity. He is scorpion-tongucd
towards all of God’s creatures; and is prompt
ed by envy, self-interest, or malice, to secretly
attempt the destruction of their proudest trea
sure — reputation. There is no beast so defiled
—no demon so inhuman—no devil so well pol
ished and determined upon mischief, as the
slanderer. With a hatred towards morality
and philantbrophy, ho schools himself in iniqui
ty, and employs all the base passions to destroy
the dearest idols of tho virtuous. Ho prosti
tutes himself to ever}' of corruption,
and his rankled mind is forever devising vicious
schemes to spread ill feeling amongst friends
and neighbors, and destroy tho character of
those whom he envies. He delights in the mis
ery and ruin of others —but wretchedness and
obloquy must eventually bo the just reward.of
his base villainy. Like the snake, ho strikes
from concealed quarters, and like that coward
ly reptile, he dreads the foot of man. As the
miser, he worships his gold; as the brute, be
lives in bis loathsomeness, and as a flevil, “he
goes forth seeking whom be may destroy. I*— 1 * —
Such is the slanderer—
“Whoso breath
Rides on tho posting winds, and doth bclio
All cornoraoftbo world."
Reader! should you meet such a creature in
human shape, avoid him as you would ft felon
—treat him aa you would an ambassador from
the-dominions of tho Prince of Darkness—for
bis heart is more desperately wicked than the
midnight assassin, and he fosters more deadly
poison than tho XJpas tree, - ■ • 1 '•
. EXPOSE OF THE "TEMWM.”
I The New York Tribune and Times of the sth
! insU, publish the rituals of the “Templars,” a
new order of Hindooism considerably intensifi
ed. A Mr. William Patton is said to be its
founder, and James W. Barker, late Know-
Nothing High Priest, is its most influential
member. The oaths are the most obscure that
could by any possibility ho contrived, and nr®
sworn with the right hand raised toward hea
ven, the left placed upon the right, breast, to
end by saluting the Holy Bible and a sword.—
No person can become a member except those]
who were born under the jurisdiction of the U.
1 States : and it is necessary for their parents to
Ibo natives also. No one who is a Catholic, or
has Catholic parents, or who is married to a
Catholic woman, or is under any Catholic in
fluence whatever, is eligible. There .ore two
degrees. In taking tho'first, the candidate,
among other things equally foolish and outra
geous. assents to the following:
‘ Upon nil calls of assistance, all notice of at
tendance. ill signs of meetings, or other calls
from this order, or its officers, or its Congress.
I solemnly swear to obey its dictation although
lit should lead me to death. And upon all stg-
I nals of alarm from » Brother of this Fraternity.
II solemnly swear to render him all assistance
1 within my power, and if necessary to use vio-
I lent means for his protection. I do solemnly
swear not to shrink when called: and although
his foe should be my Irlend, I will freely give
my aid in that Brother’s protection.”
In taking tlffc second degree the candidate
has to bo questioned and to respond as follows:
Q. Will you promise to see a brother of the
Second Degree righted—that is. if he be found
right on a Congress examination—to stand by
him even at a Court of Justice if necessary, as
a witness or juryman, and to leave all ordinary
ties to obey the demands of Congress in this
A. T will.
Q. Will you solemnly promise to Bland by
the Second Degree in preference to those of the
First in elections for office, debates, and all oth
cr matters, and to support and maintain the
authority of the Grand £7“ nnd its officers,
first, and the officers of your lO* next, with
out hesitation.?
A. I will
Q. Will you promise not to associate os a
friend with a Roman Catholic ?
A. 1 will.
Q. Will you promise not to trade with or pa
tronize a Roman Catholic, if you know of any
Protestant in the same business 1
A. I will.
Q. Will you promise not to marry, or per
mit any of your children to, marry a Roman
Catholic, if m your power to prevent it ?
A. I will. •
Q. Will you promise to look upon Roman

that a bishop of the Episcopal Church, or a

The arrival of tho Pacific has furnished us .
with more ample and particular information
regarding the fall of the south side of Sebasto
pol! The reports from different quarters, how
ever, vary much, sometimes plainly contradic
ting each other, so that we have to rely main
ly on tho official dispatches. Of the dispatches
of tho Allied Generals, lhatof Pelisser contains
the most important and startling information.
According to this, 4,000 cannon, 40,000 Vails,
besides round shot and large quantities bf
powder.and a variety of other valuable matcrir
als, had been left behind by the
Two of liio principal fortapf the south side —
fort Nicholas, which counted 200, and fort
Quarantine, 00 guns—bad not been destroyed.
General Simpson’s despatch tells us that the
French carri«i the Malakoft at noon on the
eighth of September. The panic cannot have
been very great, as after this importont event
the Russians repulsed the attack of the Rrilish
upon the adjoining work, the Redan, os well
os several subsequent ones by the French, and
kept their position until night, when under the
cover of darkness they crossed the bay. As to
whether they will be able to hold the position
of the north side, the late news furnish no reli
able data. All that has transpired on the sub
ject amounts to nothing but surmises. It is
extremely doubtful whether, the forts on the
north side contain sufficiently ample stores of
ammunition and mult-rials, workshops for the
repair of artillery , and all the numerous estab
lishments which a protracted siege requires.—
' It is also doubtful whether tho communication
with Slmphcropol, upon which depends the
provisioning of the garrison and of the corps on
tho Tchcrnaya. can be maintained now that
[befall of the south side has relieved the whole
force of the Allied army. However this may
be, whether the siege will be prosecuted or the
Russians retreat into the interior, the most im
portant question for the moment has found its
solution in the words of (ho Czar to the King
of Prussia: “Russia never makes peace after a
disaster." Thus, the prediction that the, fall
of Sebastopol, far from terminating the war,
would, In eflcct. be the opening scene of a still
more terrible drama, appears to have become a
reality.
The Adjutant General Case.— lt will be
remembered by, some of our.readers, that Ad
jutant General Bowman contested the appoint*
nient to that office ol Thomas J. Power, by
Gov. Pollock, shortly after his inauguration,
upon the ground that ho (Gen. Bowman) .had
been commissioned for three years, and- could
not bo superseded except by removal: for sufll
ciei cause. The following decision of the Su
premo Court, growing out of this cose, has just
been announced: . ,
Comm, of Penn’a. vi. Eli S/t/er.—Applica
tion for mandamus to com net the Stato Trea
surer to pay part of tho sojarry of tho relator,
Adjutant General Bowman, accrued. since thb
appointment of Gen. Power,by Gov. Pollock,
on the ground that tho latter appointment was
premature end void, because the term of three
veara, for which Bowman was commissioned,’
had not expired. Opimoh'of tho Court by
Lewis. C. J.: That tho commission of Power
is void; but mandamus refused, because Bow J
man bad not given the requisite bond.
Anotuie llastt Flats or Sour.—The gos

All Hail Ohio.!
Democracy Gloriously Triumphant!
COLDMBUS; Oct. 10.
The Democrats have carried everything be
fore them. The majority for the Democratic
candidate Governor is about 80,000 !
The Utter Impossibility of Btstorlag the ills
soar! Compromise.
The New York Commercial Advertiser is one
of the old-fashioned whig papers, and is now as
anxious as ever to see the democratic parly de
feated. The plan oi the abolitionists, however,
to make up.a party-to restore the'Missouri
Compromise, docs not strike the Advertiser ns
the most feasible plan in world; and St says so
with a good deal of frankness. t It is speaking
in reply to ho New York Courier and Enquir
' ir: •
“But passing this by, we ask, is there a ra
tional probability of the republican party ac
complishing their professed purpose! - Surely
no one will seriously contend that there is.—■
Of themselves they arc hut a Email party.—
The whigs. even in this State, arc not going
over to them in a body, by ; ony means, thanks
to (iov. Hunt for boldly unfurling the old whig
banner. The large majority of the democratic
party of the Union will give them no conntc- *
nance. The know-nothings will know nothing
of them The whole South, whigs, democrats
i and know-nothings, wilt present ono unbroken
front of opposition. What whig-Strength, js
given to them in this and other Slates will just
be bo much power wasted. Certainly the
work cannot bo accomplished in the next ses
sion of Congress, for the Senate and President’s
veto, which could not be overcome in the
House, will present an insurmountable barrier.
And by the lime the elections of 185 C come
I round, the republican parly will be weaker ra
ther than stronger— even If indeed its discord
ant elements have not then fallen asunder, —
What becomes, them of the Courier’s purpose
of only joining them, until the Missouri Com
promise is re-established by them.”
“Neither can we admit the expediency and
lawfulness of fusing with such a party, .That
they are sectional is undeniable. It Is Self-ev*
ident. That many of them are notorious abo
litionists, ‘agitators and diaunkmiatsthat
these have found a congenial home in their
ranks, is also notorious. We cannot believe in
the wisdom,.or Justice, or patriotism of sur
rendering the government of these United
States into the hands of such men—much less
of aiding them in acquiring ,it—even to nucoro
ylish an end in itself desirable or‘patriotic. It
seems to us that it is quite as wrong and un
patriotic to, elevate into power,
fur the titno being, for the sake of securing an
object, as it would be'to unite in placing a dic
tator in power for the same purpn.se. Even hi
politics the end' cannot justify Hie means.-
And if the Courier abhors disunioniats and ag
itating subversive abolitionists, ns we know it
docs—lf it regards such men ns the enemies .of
the Union—we cannot w e how it enn any
other practical application of its principles
than thatreached by Gov. Hunt—viz: that ns
whigs we should stand nlooffiom them, and. in.
stead of even temnorom coalcscelng with them
should in our undivided force, Ijowctct nutner
ically small, enter a protest against them at
the ballot-box.’'

late Paris letter:
