Thompson, Coroner of this county, was called upon to hold an inquest outlie dead body Cf neon CuNNiNonAU, a private soldier at the ' Carlisle Barracks, It appeared from the evidence «' given to the jury, that Cunningham, In company with some other soldiers, came to town on Sat* onlay evening, purchased a quantity ot liquor. Imbibed freely of it, and became beastly intox icated. Qo was taken to the Garrison by those who were in company with him, bnt being too • tJrunk to go to bis quarters was put in tho Guard . Douse. Ho was not long there, however, until . It was found that ho was In a dying condition. Uedlcal aid was soon brought to his assistance and every effort made to save him that could possibly bo made.

Tho highest penally of tho law is twelve years, bat as it Is, wo believe, contrary to the act of Assembly to turn out criminals trom tbe prison In tho winter months, tho sentence, of course, was obliged to conform thereto, and Willis es capes some sixty days longer punishment. Tin’s result appears to give general satisfaction, as it Was feared that in the event of another trial, the accused might escape entirely, from the iuaulTi- Cioncy ol some of tho evidence, ami tho negro Is evidently a most dangerous youth.

Strange as it appears, there arc, neverthe less, ditmditds irf business'; both piiblitTondpri vate, to jfhich* this disagreeable epithet is al together applicable. Wo say disagreeable, be cause it is an ugly, name, and signifies an in di lie rent ami lazy person—one who docs nol care a fig - whether tile cart is hitched before the horse, or the horse before the cart. They sleep as soundly on the brink of a precipice, as in the well-furnished upper chamber. When their property is stolen, they muster up as modi courage os enables them to ‘•lockup” what the thief left; and in short, nothing save the loudest thunders of artillery, can properly awaken their sensibilities, if it can be said that they have any. Their maxltnis: let us'‘kill the fatted calf,” ‘‘cat, drink, and be merry,for to-morrow (we) die.” But, what to us se«jms tho most remarkable, is the fact of their occu pying a space in society, without actually de moralizing its condition—for the mere mention of a lazy persqn, carries with it an odium too disgusting to be forgotten in a day. However, what covers tho defect of the Drone, at home and abroad, is the liberality, or rather contin ual mutuality of their ftllow-cillzcns. To the care and kindness of their fellow men, they are mainly indebted for almost all they enjoy.— Like tho fulling tree that lodges in the heavy and supporting branches of another near it, they lodge themselves upon the forbearance of the liberal minded and good humored, and thus they get along, without being distinguished from tho worthy and industrious of monkind —a most astonishing species of wholesale im- position. The a flairs of State may be corrupted, and I tossed to the centre, by the prowling, syco phantic demagogue, so that the people may grow desperate in their anger and rcrenge and the drone will turn up the white of his eyes, (without moving hand or foot.) and say, “all is wkll.” The tenets of the everlasting gospel may bo assailed by the Infidel, with ti ger-likc ferocity; and without even a pretence to morality, or the least concern for the wel fare of mankind, and the success of the gospel, he will proclaim, with an idea which, if it were possible, would shame even a jackass, that the opposition of the infidel will nil die away: and still they occupy the room of use ful. intellectual beings. But to those pests of society there arc a plu rality of objections. They arc jealous ami av aricious. And is it not surprising, that beings 100 indolent to open their eyes ami ears to the business of life, can muster np a spirit of ava rice a wish to obtain all the earnings and ad vantages that accrue to the industrious? They will not sow, yet they struggle hard to gather the sheaves of him that sowelh. We sec this meanly singular spirit, throughout the whole ramifications of society—even in the parly pol itics of the day. Wherea counter spirit,should, if possible, always prevail, there it is the most I prominent! But in this it is particularly ob jected to by those who can appreciate the j>ure I pnnciples of our Government. The hateful effect of this dronehm. may be seen daily ami almost every where, like the gaunt wolf, ever to be feared, and ever to be despised St'ftpßNftio* of tub Lancaster Bank.

It is said that tho officers of the Bank continued to pay all the demands made upon it during Saturday ami Monday, and that for this purpose tho Bank was kept open on both days beyond tho usual hour.

The New York Triftunc and the Times, have published a long list of tho mtoica of. lecturers for the winter season, and nctfrly every one of them arc strongly tinctured with abolitionism. But it suddenly turns out that Col. Benton is going to take the field os a lecturer;- and his subject is “The Union.” This brings down on him the only half-smothered wrath of these same papers—the Tribune and Times. They thought that lecturers of their own political stripe were to have the field all to themselves, and it greatly disconcerts them to find that other and far more distinguished men are dis posed to become lecturers. One lecture-from Col. Benton, with his ripe experience, learning an independence of character, will produce more effect than a hundred from Theodore Parker, H. Ward Beecher, or any others of that fanatic stamp. lienee the ill-tempered remarks against Col. Benton. Probably, 100, his opposition to Col. Fremont has something to do with the matter. But the vipers bite a file when they assail “Old Bullion." He will speak right out just what ho thinks, regardless of all abolition ists can say or do. Lying Despatches. The following despatch, sent from Baltimore by the agents of the associated press, appear ed in the New York papers of Friday, as well as in other quarters where news is obtained from the same source : “Lpic on Wednesday night a party of row dies alsncktd an American ball, and two Amer icans were shot—one seriously, t It is such a rare thing that any one can be found reckless, or bold enough to attack mod ern Americans any where, or under anv cir cumstances, that the moment this paragragh struck our eye we set it down ns a misrepre sentation mtenlcd to reflect upon the Democratic parly, by conveying (he idea tliat the attack was made by Democrats.

The Pennsylpnmnn pays the following just tribute to this indefatigable Democrat and hon est man. Wc hare, on more Limn one occasion. expressed the wish that the Canal Board might be at all times composed of just such men as Judge Strickland, and we therefore sincerely hope he may bo the next nominee of the Demo cratic party for this very responsible position. The Pennsylvanian, in speaking on this sub ject, says: Wo learn that Judge Nimrod Strickland, of Chester county, will l>e a candidate before the 4ih of March-Contention, for Canal Commiss ioner. Judge S. is widely known throughout the State: was a prominent candidate before the last Convention, and nceivrd a flattening vole—he was,-in reality, the chef competitor of,Mr. Scott, and without expressing a prefer, cnee for any one of tho candtdaecs that rimy be before the convention, wc feel sure all who have any knowledge of Judge Strickland's character, will agree with us. that he would moke a strong candidate, and ihatne possesses eminent abilities fur the place no.v. j. uliacy Jim } This gentleman—(he distinguished member of Congress from old Berks—is urged in vari ous papers fora position m Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinent. If the President elect concludes that Pennsylvania shall be represented in the cabinet, wc know of no one more worthy the honor than Mr. Jones. On this subject we copy an article from the Baltimore Amnifni, as follows: i The Ni^httAdministhation -We perceive that the neir»ap«ra arc already speculating in reference to tire composition of Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet. As vet. however, such speculations arc in the main futile, and confined to those journals which bitterly opposed the Democrat ic nominees, or, at the Ik’s!, remained in doubt ful neutrality. Wc have no idea that this mat ter has been the subject of a single exchange of thought between the President elect and any human being. When it shall be proper cither to make or receive suggestions upon this deli cate point, wc make po question that tho sense of tho differentssccliojU»of the country, from whence Cabing appointments will be made, vkill be vfyh;grcftt deference. Wc may venture, nevertheless, to remark, that it has been custotnary.and it would seem almost indispensable,, for;the Presidieut to consult, somewhat, his individual preference in the se lection of at least ono tried personal and politi cal friend, as a cabinent officer. If this usual coim* should be pursued by Mr. Buchanan, then »t would seem that there could be little difficulty m naming the distinguished gentle man ii|*on whom his choice would folU The personal and political relations long subsisting between tho new President and lion. J. Ulancy Jones, of Pennsylvania, combined with the transccndcntlv imponanl services rendered by the latter In Inc late elections, appear to point him out aa the choice of the Democracy of the whole country, as well as the man, perhaps, above all others, whom tho President would re gard it his duly, no less than his personal in clination, to honor. We have watched closely Hie Presidential contest in Pennsylvania—the great battle gronntl of the campaign—audit Ts but sheer justice to Mr. Jones to award him the hi*h merit or exertion, unsurpassed even in that Slate, wherc-cTCTy-Minn imbued wuhpnra Dem ocratic principles, has so nobly performed his whole duty to his party and to his country.

Buchanan in England.—lf we may judge by the bitter feeling exhibited by the English press, In anticipation of Mr. Buchanan’s elec tion, wo may bo prepared for something terrible in (lie same journals as soon as tidings of our triumph reach the shores of England. A feu days will bring us the statu of feeling among our airns-oliunllo neighbors, occasioned by (he tit mnpliant election to the Presidency „/ uur I,it, English Minister. Mr. Buchanan, while In England, did not nor- i ry hlniseK in trying to cultivole the good opin ion of aristocracy. Toadism was the price demanded, which ho refused to pay. He did not consume his tlmo in attending banquets, making fulsome speeches In adulation of her Majesty; neither did lie flatter tho snpcmmiated fossils who bask In tho sunshine of the Queen, lie stood aloof from all (Ins, being content to attend to liis duties, curing little whether his performances elicited from English critics either praise or censure. That his plain, republican simplicity did not suit Jol.n Bull, is evident from what wo have already seen,and that Ills election to the Presidency of the United States will not raise him in English estimation, may bo calcu lated upon with entire certainty.

This is evidently the result of the introduction of politics into tho-pulpit. - Never before in the history of thc’Amcricon Baptist church was such a story told.' Not alone in the Baptist church, but in every other whose ministers forgot their sacred calling and entered the arena of politics, wo have the same result. Shovels.— There arc onunlly manufactured in tho United States 2.100,000 shovels, or about 000 dozen per day. They are made entirely in this country ; about onc-third tho numbir in Massachusetts, the real in Philadelphia, Pitts burg and other cities. As the shovel is ono of tho civilizers of the world, tho annual demand of that useful article shows how much the peo ple of the United Stales arc contributing, by their labor, towards improving the social con dition of mankind.

This is.opc of the animal pro pensities similar to smoking, chewing, or drin king alchoholic beverages. They all exhibit mi unbalanced condition in mind and'.body.
