Welsh will lecture before the Big Spring Litr
cfary.lnstitute, at, Ncwville, on Tuesday even
ing, Dec.’ 18. Subject—“ The struggle bc
tjycea;Ulility and Beauty.”
Otm Merchants.— Our merchants appear
to bc doing a good business this fall, in the
way of selling goods. They have all (we of
course speak of those who advertise in the Vol
unteer,) supplied themselves with beautiful
and'fashionable goods, and their stores present
an attractive appearance. Read their adver
tisements in our columns, and then give them
a call.
Tub Weather. — During last Sunday after
noon w,o >vcr° visited with a beavy thunder
storm, accompanied by high winds and a consid
erable sprinkling of hail. Thunder storms at
this season of tho year it is said are indicative of
warm weather. This Idea will not hold good at
all limes, for since Sunday the weather has been
intensely cold with a fair prospect of continuing.
Mu. Welsh’s Lectuhe. —Tbo Lecture deliv
ered |n .Marion Hull, on tbo evening of the Oth
lust., by W. H. Welsh, Esq., of York, was lis
tened to by a very large, intelligent and delight
ed audience. The subject of tbo gifted speaker
—«The Influence of Utilitarianism on Social
and Political Life,” —is an interesting theme,
and was very abiy treated. Seldom, indeed,
has U been tbe fortune of our citizens to hear a
more interesting and entertaining lecture. Mr.
W. is a gentleman of finished education, nud is
a graceful and accomplished public speaker.—
Our people who were to hear him were delight
ed, not only with the subject matter of his ad
dress, but the stylo of Its delivery, and wo but
speak the sentiments of all when we express the
hope that wo shall have the pleasure of hearing
Mr. Welsh on a future occasion.
(C7*On Monday morning last, wc had the
pleasure of taking by the hand our friend,
William C. Gould, Esq.. the able cduor.sOf
the Democratic fifteen, published at tabanon,
Ohio. Mr. G. was born and raised in our bor
ough. and is a graduate of this office, but is
now permanently located in the Buckeye State.
Few editors in Ohio have rendered more efficient
aid to the cause of Democracy than Mr. Gould.
110 has earned quite a reputation os a bold,
fearless ami vigorous writer, as the opponents
of democracy in Ohio are ready to testify. The
keepsake with which Mr. G. presented us, be
fore he left, wc promise to cherish and love as
long as—it lasts.
A Fiest Class Hotel. —Our neighbors of
the Democrat and Herald arc again urging the
building of a first-class Hotel in Carlisle. We
have so often refered to this subject without
effect, that we had almost despaired of seeing
anything done. However, here goes for anoth
er effort. Let a move be made in the matter at
once; all agree that such a Hotel is needed—
let all agree also that it shall be erected. We
care very little how the enterprise is to bo ac
complished, but yet we arc of opinion that the
most speedy and most certain way of accom
plishing, the object, will be to form a stock
company. Thus a greater number of our citi
zens will feel an interest in the movement, and
each can take os much stock as ho pleases.
Wo would suggest, therefore, that a meeting
of those favorable to the erection of a fifst-class
Hold be held at an early day. Let a ''ttall for
such a nicotine be published in the papers next
week—let the thing be started, and our word
for it, it will go through.
(tv" Wo would call the attention of our rea
ders to the advertisement of the Cosmopolitan
Art Association, to bo found on our th rd
page. To those desirous of subscribing fur
any of the first-class literary publications of
tins country and of England it presents extra
ordinary inducements. All who wish to be
come members of the Association should do so
at once, as the second annual distribution of
Paintings and Statuary lakes place next month.
Subsriptions received by Wu. J. Shearer,
Hon. SccTy of the Association for Carlisle.

Tho Know-Nothing papers are ndwtongnged

Kno\r-Nothings, will stand the remotest chancd
of rccolving tho nomination. Tho Democrats
who have been inveigled Into tho Know-Nothing
order, do very well as “ hewers of wood and
draweba of water,but when they aspire to rise
io dignity ol holding honorable and^lncra-
(Ivo offices,' their wings are rather unceremon
iously clipped*, ;Jn this State, what did rene

ism tho “.aid and comfortV-.thoy render
ed last fall a-ycar f In electing Pollock Govern
or 7 They got a Whig Govern

Whig Know-Nothing Attorney General, a Whig
Know-Nothing Superintendent 61 Public Print
ing, a Whig Nnow-Npthlng Chief Clerk in tho
State Department, a Whig Know-Nothing Flour
Inspector, a Whig Know-Nothing Leatherin’:
spooler, and, in fact, Whig Know-Nothings In
every, office worth holding. In tho House of
Representatives, too, last winter, tho Whig
Know-Nothings selected ns Speaker one of
their own kidney, and tho Know-Nothing Leg
islative caucus split, simply because its nominee
bad been about half a Democrat before he Join
ed the dark ladternitcs. A majority of the
Know-Nothing Whigs had determined that, no
important offleo should bo filled by any roan
who hod not been a Whig previous to bis con
version to Know-Nothingism. Democrats,aro
made conspicuous as officers on all public oc
casions, from motives about as disinterested ns
those which Induced David to put Uriah “In
the front of the battle,” that they may bo killed
oIT. But alter the battle has been fougbt and won,
these samo men who iiad acted as Presidents,
Vice Presidents and Secretaries at Know-Noth
ing carousals, ore given to understand that tho
“ spoils of office” do not belong to them they
aro required to take a back Scat in the Know-
Nothing synagogue. These are some of tho
tricks resorted to by tho broken-down Whigs
who organized tho Know-Nothing party that
(hey might nguln batten off the spoils ol office
and be rescued from oblivion.
Mark our prediction, tbo Know-Nothing can
didate for President will be ono who has here
tofore held to Whig principles. Sam. Houston,
Commodore Stockton, Andrew Jarkson Donald
son, and others, who left the Democratic party
in tho hope of being elevated to power, will
find, when too lute, that they counted without
their host. They serve for worke'rs in tho
Know-Nothing harness prepared for them, but
they will discover that lucrative official stations
ics on the 31st, and set on Arc. It was rumor*
cd that Qcn. Wrangel menaced the allied posi
tion at the Straits of Ycnikale, but tbo Allies
had 30,000 troops there, and expected 16,000
more. A British steamer is watching in the
Baltic for an American dipper, laden with a
cargo of revolvers. The fanatical Turks
Constantinople arc persecuting the Christians.
Three magazines belonging toflho French
Artillery, had blown up near Inkcrman, kill
ing seventy soldiers and two officers,and wound
ing one hundred soldiers and ten officers. The
magazines contained 30,000 killogrommes of
powder, 600,000 cartridges, and 300 shells, all
of which were destroyed. A large quantity of
Russian grain had been destroyed on the Qhe
iskeinan coast. A terrific fire had occurred
at Paris in the government bakery. Twenty
eight thousand quintals of corn and sah equal
quantity of flour and biscuit were burnt The
destruction of. Russian grain on the coast near
Gheiaktioan, was effected by an allied flotilla
sent for the purpose. ; The grain was intended]
for the Crimean army, and was .packed In six
- which extended twp miles along the
r coast. The .Czar has dismissed Prince Men

Should the Know-Nothings—unfortunately for
Ibo honor and prosperity of the country—elect
tho next President, tho political patronage of
the general government will bo bestowed on
tlrely upon Whig Know-Nothings, as has been
;ho case in Pennsylvania. Tboso Democrats
who can bo cheated into tho support of this fac
tion, will then discover, If they have not already,
that Know-Nolhlngism is nothing but anotter
Whig trick to catch unwary Democrats.
To those Democrats, therefore, who continue
to act with infidel Rnow-Nuthiugism, we would
say, come uoaus ; you are in tho hands of polit
ical gamblers, who wish to uso you for their
own aggrandizement. Tips Invitation we would
extend to all Democratic Know-Nothings; the
venal and corrupt portion of them—the unprin
cipled and dishonest—-can, remain where they
are, in-welcome. They arc In thofr proper cle
ment, and only professed democracy fbr a time
In tho hop© of gaining positions for which they
were never Intended. But to honost Democrats
of tho order—and no doubt there are many—wo
feel that we have a right to speak,and oskthem
the meanest and most contemptible party that
overbad existence in free America. To Use
the language of an able cotemporary, there are
doubtless still some democrats who Huger in
the Know-Nothing ranks—dcraocratswho, In an
unguarded hour, were Induced-to connect them
selves with the Order, and who regret it, and
would bo glad (o bo once, more in full commun
ion with their former party associates. To all
such wo say, break the bonds that arc upon you
and come back to the old democratic party■ What
can you promise yonrsolves, and what can you
do lor your country, by remaining where you
are ? You pcrceivu, as wo all do, that the
Know-Nothing organization was not needed-
hat it has failed In the Southern States—that
is hopelessly Aisod and abolitionlzcd in the free
Slates—and that as a national organization, it
no longer exists. The old democratic party is,
after all, the only (rue national American party.
Tlic records of all our past history prove tills,
and the future is lull of hope for the conntry
through the same old party. Como back, (hen,
those of you who hare honestly gone astray,
und the democracy will receive you with open
arms. The great contest ot 1850 will soon
commence. Kongo yourselves at once under
the democratic banner, and among your old
friends, and aid us la achieving a victory for the
Constitution and the Union. ‘Tarry not In all
the plain/ but escape now to the mountain ot
do ocrucy, and all will l*o well. Do this, and
iu November, 1860, after the battle shall have

to have a voting population of oyer, a hundred

difficulty, the tenor of which is that the British
government, in a courteous bat positive man
ner, declined giving such explanations as were
demanded by our government regarding tho al
leged violation of our neutrality laws by Brit

the American government very delicate obliga
