HebUeuSOE is jest the kind of man'of -man for the Commissioner’s office— prompt, energetic, and honest. ■ Tub Paul Chops.—Our farmers nrc now daily engaged (when the weather permits) in gathering fn their fall crops—corn, potatoes, turnips, winter-apples, 4c. The com crop is very heavy and of the’finest quality. Poto toes, too. are abundant, and every man,no dif ference how poor, can put up a good supply for the Winter. They are now selling at 374 and 40 tents per bushel. Last winter wehnd to pay 51,50 and $2,00 per bushel, and got bad ones At that. TJw present season has been a prolific one fanner, and now that ‘.‘the harvest is paSand tho summer is ended,” he can rest from his labors, and enjoy the fruits of his in dustry. Notwithstanding tho abundance of all kinds of grains and vegetables, and that •• the valleys arc covered over with corn,” eve rything commands a fair price, and the hus bandman is wclljemuncrated. Our State, and particularly our county of. Cumberland, has been signally favored by the Supreme Being, the creator of fill things, and the giver of “ ev ery good and perfect gift.” How thankful should we all feel to Dim “who rules in the army of Heaven and among the children of men 1” ■Winter is stealing rapidly npon us—the sear and yellow leaf give notice that we may soon expect the rude blasts to greet us. As appro priate at this time, wo subjoin the following beautiful lines by Mrs. James Matoon, which she publishes under the caption of “F aubwbll to Summer.” The song ot the bird and hum of the bee, Are passing away in thoir fitful glee ! The opening bud and expanded flower Will charm us no more at the twilight hour. The robin hath roamed with his mate away; No longer the whip-poor-will chant his lay: And the moonbeams gleam on the voiceless air Fraught with the spirit of love and prayer. No more can I twine tor thy flowing hair, The white rose wreath in its beauty rare! Or pluck for the vase the richest dye, Which the rainbow tints in beauty vie. No more can I gather the little wild weed, Whose fragrance all other sweet flewi exceed; E’en this humble flower, which graces plain, Can mitigate sorrow, and soften our pain. The humming-bird, too, with Us bright crimson breast, He,too, with the flowers is seeking for rest; In vain did I offer protection and care, From Autumn’s rude blast and fho ke» Winter air. Not one of the dear Utllo warblers would Stay In my vino-covorod trellis, ’mid mosses as gay As the plumage which nature so lavishly spread. Oh they could not stay, as the flowers were al dead. For Flora had beckoned them on to a clime, Where flowers over flourish and suns ever shine, And the sweet Summer zephyr is wafting perfume Where the orange and myrtle are ever bloom. Then cannot we gleam from these lessons ol love, Some impulse divine, some light irom above. Some Flora to guide us to heavenly bowers, Where blossom unceasing perennial flowers? The Bitki County Address. In another, column we publish the a Wo address ol the Democratic Standing Committee of Berks county, to which wo would direct attention. In the language of the Pennsylvanian, the sugges tions of the Committee on tbo subject of organ ization and unity of action, are cogent and prac tical, and should attract general attention. In deed the necessity of unity of action in the pro motion of any cause dependent upon popular sentiment, la too well established by the events ot each year, to need discussion 5 nor cos Iho importance of such unity bo readily overrated. The Democracy of this county have seldom fail ed when properly organized, and when their principles and policy have been thoroughly dis cussed. On occasions prior to 1864, our noble party has fallen under the might of o powerful though misguided popular impulse; but it has os Invariably boon restored to dominance on the samo principle with which It foil, so soon as the «« sober second thought” could have its power ful sway. Its safety, at all-times, as Intimated by the Berks committee, la promoted by tlu open and froo discussion of its principles ; am at no time In Its glorious history was that tnitl so evident as now. In its present proud posl tion on the side of tbo constitutional rights of tbo States and tbo sovereign right of the people of the territories to regulate all tholr domestic Institutions, including that of slavery, and in protecting the civil rights and religions freedom of American citizens, wherever bora and of whatever religions belief, nothing can so cer tainly contribute to its future triumph as fearless discussion. And could wo entice the cowardly encmf with whotp wo have to contend Into open face to face discussion, tbo power of Democra tic truth would bo still more strikingly lllustra led. This the enemy will never attempt, and we shall have to practice the mode suggested by the Democracy of Berks. Open organizations for discussion and the general dissemination of political intelligence, are consistent with tho ge nius of oar froo institutions, and are calculated to give permanence to our government, and do fnfoenCe to tho Democracy. We, think, there fore! that the example of Old Berks might bo wisely followed in other quarters. r (£7" J. Addison Thomas, of New York, has been appointed by President Pierce, Assistant Secretary of State. fly* A fine boy named Frazer fell upon his Icnlfo while running a race with other boys at Blgbco Volley, Mississippi; tho blade entered bis heart! and ho died, before his father, who was one of tho umpires, could reach him. ItT* Tho citizens of Helena, (Ark.) recently became alarmed in relation to the appearance of several eases of yellow fever in the town,and believing that the warf boat was a source of Infection, sot it oh fire and burnt it, with all its. contents, valued at several thousand dollars. THE DIFFICULTIES OF SAM’S FOLLOWERS. It is very amusing to read the Knbw-Noth ing papers since the decease of u Sam,/’ Va-, rioua are the suggestions made as to the best plans to bondopted galvanize their departed idol into life; in the 1 vain hope that ho may, yet bo,ablo to accomplish tho.ovcrthrowofthe great Democratic party. Many 1 of tho more candid papers of this miserabloand condemned faction despair—and well they accomplishing this object, and frankly acknowledge that tho Democratic candidate for President will have the inside track in 1856. Others again aro» anxious to keep up a show of opposition, and express a willingness to adopt any creed and make any bargain, that will enable them to cany out thcir'wicked-schemes. There is a wide discrepancy* however, in tho • suggestions of Know-Nothing doctors as to the best mode of treatment to bo adopted to infuse life into the putrid carcass of “Sam.” Here, in the North, a large majority of them advocate a fusion with the Republicans,alios Abolitionists, and express a desire to recognize tho principles advocated by these misguided fanatics, and adopt them as part of theKnow-Nothing creed. In the Southern States, Sam is undergoing a very different treatment, for there his friends, without an exception, declare that tho most certain plan to bring him on his feet again is to cut loose from Abolition influence, eschew everything like Abolition principles, and take open ground “ in favor of the Constitution and the principles of the Ncbraska-Kansas bill!” In tho New England States again, Sam's disci ples think that theonly way to resuscitate their deceased champion, is to discard the foreign lest and retain the Catholjp. But in Lousinna the Know-Nothings have suggested their mode for bringing him to life, which is to discard the Catholic and retain tho foreign tost, and to show that they are in earnest in making this recom mendation, they have nominated a leading Catholic as their candidate for Governor. Hun dreds of other minor suggestions have been made by the Know-Nothing doctors who have undertaken the hcrculian task of breathing life into the nostrils of that incorrlgableold sinner, “ Sam.” Some of them bellow out at the top of their voices, “ unbar the doors, and give the gasping monster air;” but this recommenda tion it met by a scowl and emphatic “ no !” on the part of those who love darkness rather than light, and who are-ashamed to acknowledge themselves advocates of Know-Nothing heresies. Such is the position at present occupied by the Know-Nothings, North and South. One thing is observable, and only one, and that is, that the Know-Nothing leaders are hopelessly corrupt, and utterly devoid of all principle.— They are willing—and most of them have ack nowledged it—to resort to any means, and 4 adopt any or all creeds, that will enable them to gain place and power. Utterly unprinci pled, selfish and dishonest, they are ready to stoop to foreigners where foreigners arc strong in numbers, and persecute and oven murder them asflljjheir children, where they arc weak. They court the Catholics where this religious sect has a controling influence, and persecute them where they arc weak and helpless. In the Northern States they preach up Abolition treason—in the South they pretend to be the peculiar guardians of slavery and the‘Nebraska Bill. They arc all things tQ.hH raort»— •* every thing by turns and nothing long.” And why are they bo debased ?—why do they in every locality preach up a different doctrine ? Merely to enable them to cheat the I people, so that they (leading Know-Nothings) may batten off the spoils of office. They arc gamblers in politics—are even ready to dese crate the holy cause of religion, and put at de fiance the teachings of the Saviour, if by so do ing they can accomplish their nefarious de signs. The " victories of Sam” in all the large cities, have been proceeded by rapine, muidcr, and desolation, and the blood of innocent men, ( women and children cry aloud from the ground for vengeance! Infidelity, debauchery and crime are the twin-sisters of Know-Nothing ism, and a Ned Buntlinb directs the assault when the bod passions of bad men prompt them to do the work of the devil. Is it to be wondered that the people— who, notwith standing they may be deceived fur a short time, are nevertheless always honest —have become alarmed at the atrocities of Know-Nothingisro, and are ready and willing to tramp the mon ster In the dust whenever and wherever he dares to show his hydra head ? Western Texas A writer from western Texas says, the German, French, Swiss. Hun garian and other European settlers, in norlh wcstfcran Texas, arc to a man in favor of form ing a new State out ui the western portion of that Slate: and to a man they arc opposed to slavery. There arc mony settlers from the northern Stales among ltK,m, too, and together he thinks they can command ten thousand voles already. Tho letter is written by Mr. Wilcox, a metnder ol Congress from Mississip-1 pi, who has lately returned from a visit to Texas. By tho act annexing Texas it is pro vided that it may be divided into two or more States, and it is quite probable that such a di vision will ere long bo demanded. Liquor Law Trouble. —There is no end to the troubles occurring under sumptuary liquor laws, or any other sumptuary laws. A dis patch from Bangor, Maine, dated October 31, says: “There is considerable excitement in our community in consequence of the discovery that some of the liquors seized under process of law are missing from the depository, and from the fact that the houses of the members of the police have been searched without any consid erable quantity of liquor being found. The city Marshal is charged with giving up some parcels ofliquor without legal authority to do so to persons from whom they were seized, up on the payment to him of certain sums of mon ey. The matter is undergoing investigation by tlie city Council.” American Principles Outraged.—\Vc learn from the Southern papers, says tho Fasten A rgiis, that the managers of the Agricultural Slate Fair of Kentucky, recently held atlpuis villa, were guilty of a high miodemcanor. They gave several prizes to foreign over native bulls. The attention of tho Know-Nothing Councils all over tho land should at once bo directed to this piece of misconduct oh tho part of tho Kentucky managers. Aro the four legged sons of tho soil to bo thrust aside by foreign mon sters, unnaturalized, perhaps, 100 1 This pre ference for foreign quadrupeds is bpt the enter ing weftgo to a preference for foreign bipeds, and should bo scvcrly rebuked. TOANKSOiVING—GOV. FOLLOWS, PBOCLAMK . - . wm ■ ' v/Av Gov. Pollock had sjppointcd Thursday, Npv. 22d; ‘%s a day of general thanksgiving and praise tWoujshbut ..this State.t* -Very proper— Wo hope to see the day observed by all' classes of our citizens; for certainly the people of Penn- sylvania.hayo been highly favored , during the past year. To set apart one day of the year for thanksgiving and praise, is eminently prop er, and should receive the sonction of all. But, we need not speak of tbe propriety of observing the day named by, the Governor, for our peo ple, wo feel satisfied, will cheerfully refrain 1 from all secular employments, and,; forgetting I the things of this worltl, join,in offering thanks I to tho Supremo Being for His goodness tons as a people. •, But, let us examine Ibis Proclamation of Gov. Pollock, and compare its language with ' tho acts of its author. The Governor says in] one sentence of his Proclamation—“Ho (Deity)' has blessed onr country with peace. ThoTTniph of tho Slates—our free institutions—our civil and religious privileges—right of conscience , and freedom of worship, .have been continued and preserved.?’ Oh, what consummate hypoc risy ! You to talk of tho blessings of “civil and religious privileges—right of conscience, and freedom of worship!” You, the acknowl edged leader of bigoted and intolerant Know* Nothingism, to proclaim to the people of Penn sylvania that they enjefy “civil and ; religious privileges,” and that therefore they should offer “thanks to Almighty God forljis goodness and mercy.” True indeed, we do enjoy “civil aW religious privileges,” and certain it is we should all thank God for this great privilege. But no thanks to yon, Gov. Pollock ; no thanks to the oath-bound Know-Nothing faction, of which ydu ore a conspicuous member- ' Mad not the people of this State turned out in their strength at the late election, and marched to the polls in solid phalanx, presenting the ap pearance of “an army with banners,” and placed the seal of condemnation upon your foul party, where, we ask, would bo our boasted “civil and religious privileges echo answers where ? liad Infidel Know-Nothinglsm again triumphed in our glorious old State, “civil and religious privileges” would have been “crushed out” before a twelve-month. We enjoy these privileges against the wishes and tho efforts of Gov. Pollock and his sworn associates. They have labored by day and by night, have locked themselves up in dark rooms, and taken un lawful, wicked and unconstitutional oaths, and all for the purpose of deprivingmen of the priv ilege of worshiping God according to the dic tates of their conscience; they have attempted to rob them of the* inestimable booh of “civil and religious liberty.” Tho Know-Nothing ’party, with Gov. Pollock as its head in Penn sylvania, recognizing that Five Points b’hoy and jail bird, Ned Buntline of New York, as its father, has yielded up everything like princi ple and honor, and its # leaders have associated in dens of infamy, with tho vilest of tho vile, to accomplish tho objects nearest their hearts, viz— the obtaining of official patronage, and depriv ing men of their constitutional rights. Having failed in their wicked attempts to abrogate the Constitution and reduce men to serfs, the Know -1 Nothings now, through their imbecile Govern or, desire tho j>cople to,.return thanka to -our common Father, because Ho - continues to be stow upon us, as a people, the blessings of £Kivil and religious privilegedor, his Excell ency might have said : because proscriptive I Know-Notliingism has been defeated, and “civ il and religious privileges” continued by tbo blessings of God, in willing that right should triumph over wrong. It is the shcrcst hypocrisy and cfirontcry, therefore, for Gov. Pollock lo attempt to make the people believe that he is an. advocate of “ civil and religious privileges.** The; blood stained streets and smouldering roW-of-tht'cl llngs in several of our large cities, are some of the fruits of Know-Nothing Intolerance and wickedness. Gov. Pollock and his sworn as* Rociatcß in crime, in attempting to cocrsco men into a conformity with their detestable dog* mas, have done more to spread Infidelity, and pul at defiance the teachings of holy writ,than they can ever expect to atone for. Wo do ert*! joy “civil and religious privileges,” and we hope we ever may, but if wo would transmit this blessing to our children and our children's children, we must repudiate such demagogues as Gov. Pollock and his midnight associates. We must frown down all attempts that arc made, come from what quarter they may, whether from an executive chamber or a Five Points club-room of New York, lo deprive us of the enjoyment of Civil and Religious PaiVILKOES. Tiik French Nation Happy.— The interest ing situation of the Empress Eugenio of Franco j is at length announced by the official organ ; j anff all Franco is called on to be Joyful at the , (auspicious event. The fourth month is passed in safety, and there is good hopo of an heir to the throne, and an undisputed succession. The Napoleonic dynasty lias promise now of perma. ocncy ; one! the Bonaparlisla of France will breathe more freely. Bui there is one Bona parte who will hardly partake of the general i gratification. Ho was heir presumptive to the I • throne. An heir apparent will dash his hopes ■ not only of a crown, but of a marriage with , Victoria’s royal daughter. The Queen’s daugh i ter must marry a King, or an heir apparent at ■ least, and the prince Napoleon may bo neither f now. Remahkadle. —J. W. Coftroth, at one time connected with the Democratic press of Phila delphia, has been elected to the Senate of Cali fornia by the K. N’s. It is related of him,that at Benicia, in 1863, ho made the following re mark : “if crcr I desert tho Democratic party, may my right arm be withered." On theday of tho election befell from his horse and bo completely shattered his arm, that it was toughthhc would bo compelled to have tho limb amputated. A remarkable coincidence. Tho Know-Nothings hero wore quite of fended when wo intimated that tho notorious Ned Buntllno was tho originator of their pure organization. At a meeting of their party held in Philadelphia, previous to tho election he at attended and was introduced as tho “FATH ER OF SAM !" Since that he ro-commonccd tho publication of “Ned Buntlino’s Own," for the especial purpose of advocating Know-Noth ingism. The course of tho order, violating all tho natural lawn of society, desecrating religion and destroying public and private morals, is eminently worthy of its origin! jm.imm general case.

Pollock appointed Powbk to this position, wo BP°k® of tho appoint ment as bclhg Illegal, and wo are convinced that Gov. Pollock knew this himself. For tho pur pose of tickling “Democratic Know-Nothings,?* ho was induced to appoint a corrupt nan to an bfiloo not in hu gft> to enable Know-Nothing editors to prate* about tho Govornqr’s,liberality toward Democrats who had turned traitor to their party to join Infidel Know*Nothinglam.—- This was the object In view when Gov.

A greater ■ plccb of deception and scoundrcltsin was never attempted* but it is on a par with most of the our present weak, dishonest and contemptible State administration. But* to tho extraeffrom tho Bedford Gazette: Our friend, 001.

In the confu sion of affairs, the office being thus snddcnly thrown on tho hands oftho Executive, ho com missioned mo to All it, and requested mo to come on to fho scat of Government, and take immediate possession, which I did. Tho Gov ernor, in his haste, hdving sent tho commission to mo under his own envelope, instead of that I of tho Secretary’s office, as is usual, and no blank bond accompanying it, tho consequence 1 was that I neglected, for a limited period, to hunt up a form dad write one. I did so, however, not a great while after I was appointed, and I procured the names of lion- Wm. T. Daugheb tt and lion. Wu. V. Schell, os security, and Hon. Jos Mann as witness. Being seldom at Harrisburg, 1 laid tho bond in my desk among tho military papers, where it remained for a iongth of tlmo forgotten. As soon as tho frnlssion was brought to my notice, I at onco .stated that my bond had. bfcen filled, and was ready to bo filed at any time. As a suit was ponding bolero tho Supremo Court, I paid uo further attention to thc;boml until that body met in Bedford In August last, when our coun sel handed it to tho Chief Justice, and it was subsequently sent to Harrisburg, where it is now filed, covering the entire period of our commission. At best this bond Is merely nom inal, in fact, but, of course, it la not so In law. It merely demands security in $l,OOO, whilst the property in tho Arsenals sometimes amount to $60,000. I have nover had a rod copper In my posses sion since my appointment 'belonging to the Commonwealth.

Caution to Mechanics, —A person in Mobile, Ala., has brought suit against a shoemaker, fur failing to comply with a promise to have a pair of boots made at a specified time. Should tho plaintlffln this case obtain Judgment, it may bo a salutary lesson to mechanics in general, amongst whom want of punctuality is of too frequent occurrence.

The price, of cattle yesterday was equal to ten cents a pound for meat of the best quality, and a good deal below that for the worst, .winch, unfortunate-1 ly, was much the most plenty. Indeed,we have never seen so great a proportion of th^ f cattle in market ,of a quality only fit for the grazier. It is said farmers are of the opinion that they can make more money by selling lean cattle and their coarse grain than they can by putting it into beef. We doubt if. Hundreds of cattle sold yesterday at less than forty dollars, and many at less than thirty dollars a head, upon which ten or twelve dollars a head transporta tion had been paid. We afe sure such sales arc not profitable to the farmer, while finch beef is not profitable to the consumer.;, and if young stock is sacrificed in this manner, what have we to expect in the way of reduction in the price of beef ijri future ?
