‘, Qn Saturday last, Maj. Wh. M-Hesdeusom,
County Contmisalonbriolect. also entered upon
the duties of his office. He lakes the place of
Hr. Bobu. Mq). 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.

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!

all In his officlaf relations, showing special fav

generally conceded by tho mllitary;Without dis
tinction. Ho was AdjutantjGcncral during the

remembered to. this doy with what energy, and
patriotism ho organized two regiments and ft
detachment of yolunteers In Pennsylvania, for
tho Mexican war. . In tho absence of appropri

Tho Bedford Gaztlle, of which paper Adju
tant General Bowman' is editor, coplcsthe above
reraarks of and appends tho
following In explanation *ot tho filing of his offl
dal bond, /frp are glad that this controversy
as to who la tho legal Adjutant General of tho
State, has been settled by the highest legal tri
bunal. -At the time Gov. 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. Pollock
dared to appoint Power to an office* contrary
to and in the face of tho laws of the State. 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. Rice, la In error in saying
that I have not, as yet, filed tho bond required
by law—yet lam pleased that ho lias so stated
it in order to enable mo to tnako a statement on
this particular point that will bo fully under
tfood, rVPhoo Gen. Keenan was appointed to a
Foreign Mission by tho President, ho was or
dered to repair to his post forthwith. • Indeed,
hla time to prepare was so limited that ho could
barely take the books and papersuf tho office j
to UArrlßhaft,-<m mode a limited,
ibat satisfactory report,, on his arrival at Now
Vork, just before his departure. 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. WbenovcroWarnis’ond stores

fur tho same in their settlement with tho Audi

Tub Amibioan Flag “ Outraged.”— Tho

Utah. —A letter to the Chicago Tribune
from Fillmore Utah, estimates the popu
lation at from sixty to one hundred thousand
persons, which, if true, would entitle the Ter
ritory to admission into the Union ns a Slate.
These people, the writer says, arc mostly ac
tive and industrious —in fact the most indus
trious community 'he ever saw. Mills and fac
tories arc in operation in nil parts of the Terri
tory where settlements exist, as arc also com
mon schools. The capitol building in process
of erection at Fillmore City, is spoken of su
purb in design. One wing is nearly completed,
and will be in readiness by the second Monday
in December, at which time the Legislature
meets. It is built of a superior quality of
stone, redish hue. Salt Latch City con
tains 16,000 inhabitants, and has tine stone
hotels, school houses, &c, A large majority of
the people are of foreign birth, mostly English.
The city next in importance is Provo, con
taining factories, mills, &c., and about 3,000
’ inhabitants. *

an attack on Kars, on the 29th of September,
but were repulsed with great loss. Up to the
17th of October, nothing of interest had trans
pired in the Crimea. The Allies had commenc

to surround and cut off the Russian forces.—

with much force:
“It is evident that the great struggle of next

New Yoke Cattkk Maukkt. —The Tribune
of Thursday says : There was a very large sup
ply of bullocks at the market yesterday, os
will be seen by reference to our Cattle market
report; and for the week past we have the
great nmAber of si* thousand two hundred,
with an rtrual number of swine, and over eigh
teen thousand sheep, received in one week for
the shambles, besides the vast quantity of dead
; meat that is now arriving upon almost every
freight-boat or railroad train. 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 ?

There is a wont of Uniformity in tcaclnntr
and to remedy this evil* teachers should form
institutes in every district at as early adar as
possible: to do this; they must divcsi (h cm
selves of alt selfishness, and with the sole aifti
to ossist'cachi other; enter -into the matter in
good faith; invHih£ the directors, and other
citizens to join with them, Assuring them that
their object is to qualify themselves more fully
lor a faithful discharge of the duties of teacher
A teacher to be successful must'be “one of
the people” and he who feels himself above this
can never, succeedvisit as frequently as yotj
can those who,send children to yon ; but re
member that noble hearts and bright intellects
dwell in log cabins os well as. in brick mansions.
Many of our.tcachcrs keep a record of the
daily progress’ and ’ conduct of their, pupils,
which is always open tp.tho inspection of* the
directors and .patrons of the school; this seems
to have a shimary intlucdce and should be uni*
versally adopted. ’ :

to be prevalent; in some schools, the teachers
. arc constantly complaiqtng of the.bad conduct
of their cliolarp, and yet,when the reports arc
submitted.-they arc all good—such : cdiidnct, if
known, will not pass unnoliccd.
I purpose visiting each district twice this ‘

the propriety of holding a meeting of teachers,
directors and patrons every night while I re.
mnitvin ai district, for the purposcof discussing
and 1 demonstrating tbo best method of tending
thu several branches taught in our schools, t
will cheerfully upend my evenings with yon in

will result therefrom ; it would afford me an
opportunity of giving the people an idea' of the
