So much was tho school room injured arid thrown into confusion, that the teacher was compelled todiamiss the school on Friday and Saturday,. This is a most con, tomptibleand malicious species of mischief, and the School Directors of that district should at once offer a suitable reward for the discovery and apprehension of the stupid and heartless miscreants. ' The Price of Beef ash Pork. —The price of beef and pork in our market is at the present time unconscionably’high, in fact onl of all proportion, to tho price ofUiocf cattle and hogs. « TVo see it stated that tho butchers of Pittsburg and Allegheny cities are now selling their choic e-Wcuts ol beef at ton cents per pound, and other qualities arc proportionality low. Here, wo are compelled to pay ten and twelve and a half cents ; per pound for very indifferent cuts. If tho ■butchers have not been making money for the last year, we know not who have. If they would reduce the price somewhat, their sales would bo much larger, and their profits would ho in a . corresponding ratio. Arrival of Recruits.— On Monday last a detachment of between fifty and sixty rccruits-ar rived at Carlisle Barracks. These men were enlisted in the Eastern cities, where (bo hard ness of the times and want of employment com poiyuindreds of young men to don tbouniforra of Urmle Sam; They will bo drilled at this post for a short time; ann.tbcn fake their departure for.tho far West, probably to aid in chastising Brigham Young and his myrmidons. There are nowbotween.three.and four hundred men at the Barracks, the greater portion of whom ar? al ready qualified for'active service. Lecture on Japan; ll H.

Soon TO BE IN OPERATION.—W<j learn tboA the Forgo for the manufacture of scrap'if on, recently erected near the eastern terminus of High street, will be put in operation in a week or two. This new establishment; will'give per manent employment to "a largo number o workmen, and add much to the industry and prosperity of the borough. To its enterprising proprietors, Messrs. Jacob Goodyear &Co.; wo wish an abundant success; - and we feel as sured that.their energy and perseverance will meet with a handsome - pccuriiary reward. In addition to.lhc Forge Just mentioned, we have in the borough two iron foundries, both of which we believe are cfoing a very: safe and good business. A few' more such establish-, ments in our midst, and Carlisle would be what it ought to be, and which nature 'lntended it. should be, a successful manufacturing town. The Haed Times.— Everybody admits, nay feels, that the times just now arc unusually hard*; ibat.money is-scarce, and that Bank ac commodations cannot bo had. There is f how- ever,, a great diversity of opinion among men as to what produced (he present untoward slate of things,' some attributing it to this and others to that. Thinking men, in every community, and they are invariably, right, maintain that we have all been living too fast; that the banks have "ttcen issuing more paper than the law or their capital, warranted ; that our people have ■ speculated too deeply in western lands and in bogus railroad and other fancy stocks, and that '■ we have imported more than what the wants or interests of the country demanded. ' Added to these, we might add, the insane extrava-. gancc and the silly love of display which has ■ for some years existed-’among all classes, both in town- and country, but more particularly in the large cities. People who lived in palatial residences, and who lived upon, the fat of the Jand, without a thought of the morrow, and without contributing anything to the general wealth, are now paralyzed that this revulsion lias taken place—that this sadden calamity has come upon’them. Yes,, the rich of yesterday are the poor of to-day, and without the ability or the energy to help themselves, they will nqw‘ bo compelled to dispense with their gilded char iets, their gaudy liveries, and a thcir aristocratic airs; and walk the thoroughfares as honcstcr ■and worthier, people have been in the habit of doing. But “it is-an ill wind that blows no body good,” and the present rcvulson, together with our excessive importations, Infs had the effect of reducing at least one-third, the price of dry goods, as well as of every description of goods, and those having a little of the ready money can now procure, for cash, unparalleled bargains at the cheap stores of Mr. Ogilby, Messrs. Bentz imd Brother, P. Arnold, N. W. Woods, and J. A. llumrich, Jr. Editor's Convention. —The Pittsburg edi tors propose a Convention of the Democratic editors of the State to bo held at Harrisburg about the day of-Gov. Packer's inauguration.— We hope there will be a full- turn out of Demo cratic editors.

What with Bank suspensions, the bank ruptcy of merchants and business men. the stoppage of manufacturing establishments, and the proverbial improvidence of poor human na- turc, many of those who but a year ago lived in comparative comfort, not' to say afllucHce,' are noiv licduced to the utmost extremity. Al ready are pur poor houses nightly filled with wandering wayfarers,' some striving to reach j the far .West, there to obtain if possible a home? and others again seeking employment.which, at this season of the year, and more particular ly .now, is so difficult to be obtained. If this state of things exists at the present lime, what will it not bo when the earth shall be covered with a deep’drapery of snow, our rivers and brooks ice bound, and when ibe shrill and piercing blasts of relentless winter penetrate every crevice, rendering the laborer almost in capable of performing any jobs which chance or ohapity might extend to him ? Truly, the prospect is a cheerless and a gloomy one. Now, then, is the time for the humane and charitable to exert themselves and prove the sincerity ot their philanthrophy, not by words, but.deeds, in endeavoring to mitigate the suf ferings of the pooii and destitute. , It is “more blessed to give than to receive,” and a small pittance from the abundance of their store would not impoverish them, and would make the heart of the widow- and- the orphan, of the homeless.and the houseless, sing for joy. There are many gentlemen of means in this community, who would willingly contribute liberally to the necessities of the destitute, if they had leisure to seek thej^ out and become acquainted with their condition. But, over whelmed as they arc business, and per haps thinking it an irksome duty, they neglect it altogether, and thus the deserving poor are left to suffer in silence and obscurity. ,To ob viatqthis difficulty, we would respectfully sug gest that Benevolent Societies be 'formed in at least all the populous towns in the county ; committees appointed whose business it shall be to procure work'for those who are able to labor,'and to solicit aid from the humane to be disjmxseij among the sick, the aged, and those who arc not able to help themselves. We be lieve that such ah. arrangemcment, judiciously carried out, would do much to ameliorate the condition of the poor during the coming winter. What town or borough will bo the first to act in this matter? ■ While upon this subject, we desire to say a wrird or turn in relation to the “Carlisle Fenirile Beneficial Society.” In years gone by, this Society was the instrument of doing much good in this community, and did a great deal in alleviating the miseries of the industrious poor. Its.charity was bestowed .upon worthy and deserving objects, and many weary hearts yet beat in tharikfulness to the noble and Chris tian ladies Who. were members of that philan thropic and truly humane Society. Docs it yet exist, - arid is it, still exerting itself oil be half of the poor I We'hope so. None are so well calculated to administer charity as the •ladies. They do it in a quiet and unobtrusive manner, and in such a way as not to shock Ihe sensibilities op delicacy of .those to whom they extend relief. If the Society to which we have alluded yet exists, we advise gentlemen who arc disposed to contribute to the relief of the indigent, to make its lady members the almo ners of their bounty.. If they do so, they may rest assured that it will be judiciously appro priated, and worthy and deserving objects made the recipients of their charity; , 0“ The editor ot the Herald flounders like i a fish in the meshes in his attempt .(for it is a mere attempt, and h sorry one at that,) to sus-1 lain the allegations he made a few weeks since, viz—that “if there are evils in the banking sys?- tern,, thoy are chargeable to the Democratic party;” for, “every bank in Pennsylvania, with feic exceptions, have, been ushered into exis tence under successive Democratic administra tions,” &c. Thia-foolish and false assertion we felt it our-duty to-nail to - .th'e cojinlcrv and in doing so, we reminded our neighborlhat over one-sixth of all the banking capital of the State had been creatcdsince Gov. Pollock came into’ office, and : that the-Uitner and Johnson admin istrations-wero, if anything, still-more reckless in favoring the passage of bank bills through the Legislature. The Herald dared hot; for it could not deny this, but the erudite editor made an awkward attempt to dodge the issue ho had hirhself invited; and- in his reply to us, 'instead of defending his first assertion, viz— “that every bank in our State, with/ete: ex ceptions, had been ushered* into existence un der Democratic administrations,” ho caved in. .shifted position, and took ground thaj. the De mocracy were responsible for the evils coni: plained of, because they generally “had one or both branches of the Legislature.”. His first assertion was- that all the banks in the State with few exceptions, had' been chartered by “Democratic administrations,” and - when we proved this a deliberate falsehood, he dropp ed the allegation, and'attempted to hold our parly responsible, because one or both Houses of .the Assembly contained, generally, a ma jority o(""Democrats. In no event,-and in no contingency, were the oppsiotion responsi blc 1 This was a miserable dodge, and we ex posed it. and pointed out of our neighbor's last position by reminding him that the party to which the Governor belongs, is, and in justice ought to be, responsible for all acts, (or laws.) passed by the Legisla ture. The Herald would ridicule this as sertion, but in doing so, the editor exhibits his own weakness. “What a wise and logical con clusion !" exclaims our very, logical neighbor. If wo understand his argument, he maintains that the Legislature, and not the Governor, is responsible for the laws passed. Why, our neighbor ought to’khow, and we think ho cer tainly does know, that the Governor says yea or nay to every act of the Legislature—that the action of the Legislature amounts to noth ing before it receives the sanction of the Gover nor. True, the Legislature, by a two-thirds vote, can pass a bill into a law. over the Gover nor’s veto,, but there is.uot one,bill in a hun- I dred passed in this way. The Governor, then,. ■andwterparty'tmwhich'hc'belongsTTirrTcspoiw: s.ible for the laws or acts passed by the' Legis lature) for the Governor can prevent their be coming laws by his veto. Thisjvas the pbsi tion- : lhe : jHe raid—itself - took--at-dl rat,-when - it spoke of “Democratic administrations’* being responsible'; but, bring driven to the wall, the editor turns round and attempts to ridicule his own allegation! lie has placed himself in a hu miliating position, indeed,-and has no one to blame for it but him Self. Wo have proved his first allegation false, and have therefor? ac complished all we desired. Montour Works. —The Montonr -American says, we observe they arc nailing hp ? the doors, windows, gales, &c., of these Works, thus giv ng ns (ho indications of a stand still. With this movement, the last hope of their starting this.season, has,died away in the minds of the people. Mot the workmen alone feel the disas trous consequences of their stoppage, but \vo all have a pmclicnldenionstnition of (heir import ance,!? the prosperity of Danville. Whilst so many ol the iron works in this and. the adjoining States have ceased operations and their workmen been discharged; wo have not heard of a single one in this county being closed. The Carlisle Iron Works, at Spring Forgo, un der the’prudent and judicious management of the proprietor, Peter F. Eoe, Esq., is yet in successful operation, no hands have been dis charged for want of employment; and the Works will not be stopped on account of.hard times. Mr. Eoe manufacturers an excellent quality of iron, Sic., which he disposes of at moderate prices, and has always in bis employ a largo number of workmen. By prudence, jndustry and economy, he is enabled to keep ins works going and to realize a handsome profit, without depending upon the assistance ot a. high protect ive tariff, that nntirfuated and deceptive system, which has been the rock upon which so many of our iron masteis have split. , O’ The Lancaster Examiner of the 18:h instant, has the following local item. Of late, desertions from the Carlisle Barracks have been frequent, and we doubt.not the two deserters just apprehended will he made an example of: Arrested.— Two enlisted soldiers who de serted from the Carlisle Barracks, were arrest ed in this city on'Friday last, by an officer from that station and officer Baker. They were pro perly secured and took their departure amid the jeers and torrents of a large crowd that had collected at the depot to sc? the heroes on their' winding way. -If. they prove to be no better men in VVar than they are in Peace, we think Uncle Sam has a hard bargain in (hem. Colored Soldiers in Boston.— A military or ganization composed of colored residents of Boston, commanded by Louis Gaul, and enti. tied tile “Liberty Guard,” made their first pub lic appearance on Monday-week, with twenty nine muskets and a cornet band. Their appear ance is said to have given great dissatisfaction to the people of-Bostdn, a‘large crowd hissing, hooting, ami. yelling at them as they passed through tile streets; At soriie pbiritslhey wero. so closely-pressed that the police were compell ed to interfere. The parade wound up in a general row, iri which several of the “ colored soldiers” came off second best. The lieutenant of the company, named Williams, was severely hurt by a missile thrown at his head. By the above it would appear that the sym; pathyof the Yankees for the “poor negro” is till theoretical, having no solid foundation.— Their opposition to Slavery is induced by their intense hostility to the Soufh and its, interests, as well as to the perpetuity of the Union. While they despise, starve and maltreat their own free negroes, they will squander largo sums of mo ney to enable a misguided slave to desert his comfortable homo in the South (or a precarious livelihood in their inhospitable climate. But, wo think, abolitionism - has had its day, arid soon It will only bu ic-mtimbered ns “among tho things which once were,” * Tub Tahht and the . Currency - ;—lt is generally supposed that the import Ipade of the country can be regulated by a tariff'alono : - This idea is fallacious. In order that a law of the kind inay be ..effectual in its operation, whether for purposes of revenue or protection, on both Jogefher, it is indispensable that the tariff rind the, currency should be so adjusted as to act harmoniously. An examination of the statistics of our finance and commerce for a long series of years past will show, that a con traction of paper circulation has limited im - portations tinder a low tariff, while on tho oth er hand, an.,expansion of that kind of money had increased our imports in spite of a high tariff. The manner in which this effect is pro duced, is sufficiently obvious. In the first place, an inflated currency, caused by excess ive bank issues, causes, simultaneously with a facility of consumption, tin advance of prices. .This fact naturally.occasions an influx of for eign goods. The supply is stimulated by de mand, while the repressive of a custom tax is counterbalanced by the more than equivalent appreciation in the market value of the import ed merchandise. - ' Excitement among tub Shoemakers op Lynx.— A meeting of the citizens of'tynn was held on Monday evening, at Lyceum Hall, to “devise measures to meet a hard winter and 1 ffiard times.” There were about 1.700 persons present. A debate took place upon a series of resolutions which were presented! containing severe denunciation of the action of the shoe 'manufacturers in sending their shoes into the country to be made. The meeting whs a very excited one,.and some.of the speakers were ex ceedingly harsh iti their. denunciations of the manufacturers. One young man recommended stationing a force at different points to seize all shoes destined for out of town-workmen. Grain in Illinois.—--A .western paper says that in Chanqmign county, Illinois, and at West Urbana, wheat.is only worth, according; to weight and quality, from 40 to 50 cents a bushel, and the farmers will not market it, but hold it back for higher prices. The same pa per says the corn yield of Illinois is without parallel for quantity—one of the exceptional crops which are said to Come once in five years. A Champaign fanner says it will not command above 12. 15. or 18 cents a bushel, and most of it will be used as feed for stock. It is added that not half so many acres have been sown to wheat this fall, ns were sown last fall, and no farmer will duplicate in 1858 the corn planting of 1857: The next Legislature of this State will be strongly'urged to prohibit the circulation of bank notes of a less denomination than ten, dollars. Some very, prominent gentlemen are in favor of carrying up tho limit to $25, so that paper as a currency shall.not interfere with the free circulation of the highest denomination of coin. There, is much reason in favor of $25 notes ns the lowest denomination of bank bills. O” Money matters are gradually becoming easier both in' New York and Philadelphia;— The prices of speculative and other stocks are slowly advancing. ** liy The total receipts at ihe port of Phila delphia, since January Ist, have been $16,704,- 559. • GOV~WiHLER-ae JUDGE CATO.- ; - It,will be remembered .that this Judicial functionary, on' the .petition of the candidates for the Kansas Legislature, in the district copa posed of Douglas nnd-Johnson counties, who were refused certificates of election, granted an order on Gov. Walker find Secretary Stanton to show cause why a mandamus should not issue .in consequence of their refusal 1 to grant certifi cates to the petitioners. . A reply was made to this order by Walkcr aiuVStantqn, showing va rious’ technical-reasons why a mandamus should not issue; and contending that the Court had no jurisdiction in the matter, and no power , to' order such a writ. The close of .This reply ex poses so forcibly and yet so mildly the absurd ity of the conduct, into which the Judge Ifad been betrayed, and the dangerouscqnscquehces likely to result from jus unwarrantable inter ference in a matter bpyond his judicial cogniz ance, that we cannot refrain from giving it.: The undersighed beg leave further to slate, that if the said Judge'shouldcommand them to issue certificates of.cleclion as aforesaid, and should deem it Lis duty to subject them to im prisonment for,disobeying his order, ns they would be compelled to do so'-.by their convic tion of Us usurpation and utter nullity, and be cause the certificates‘before the' dale of. said rule or order had already been issued toother persons, such is their desire to maintain the. pence of this Territory that they will submit individually to such imprisonment; and if any tumult should be apprehended by said Judge, in consequence of the monstrous frauds which have-been perpetrated upon the clcciiyo fran chise in the reepnt election, the Governor will direct the- regular troops of the United States, now here and subject to, his order, to act as posse comUutus in hid of the sheriff or marshal who may be directed by said Judge to execute said mandate of imprisonment. This is certainly very neat and pi by. It is not likely that Judge Cato will soon forget it; This reply gives a fitting answer to the cow ardly intimation thrown out by some of the low opposition press, to the effect that this, or der of Judge Cato was a preconcerted matter' •between him and Gov. Walker, and that the latter would at onco.yield to the demand of the Judge; It is not to be wondered at, that the infamous misconduct of the different political parties of Kansas is persisted in. when there can be found, in the responsible position of di rectors of thepublic press of the country, men, whose political honesty is q,t so low a mark that they can invent such charges ns the above. Such then can readily approve iitid applaud the infamies practiced by the 'particular party, ariose interests they espouse, and dins inspire renewed and more objectionable instances of po litical villaUy. Vte cannot hope for a speedy cessation of such practices in Kansas, so long as they find echos and applause throughout the country. Hon, John 11. Reagan.— This gentleman, (says tlie Cincinnati Enquirer.) who whs recent ly elected a Representative to Congress' Irom Texas, went to .that Stale eighteen years ago a poor, friendless; stranger; wearing' buckskin breechesandnhickory’shirt. He educated him-, seif, laboring Saturdays, at night, and the hours usually devoted to rest were usually spent in toil for his .schooling and Ihe purchase of hooks.

The exchanges are also rapidly improving, and pro duce is coining forward, though not so plenti fully as could he dcsirpd; Ibis staled that the farmers in some sections are holding their enor mous products for higher prices ; they are not ■willing to as the merchants have done in selling their goods at.current prides to pay their debts, and the embarassjuonls arising from their delin quency, are. still felt. It is to be hoped that" their short sighted policy will bo changed in time to save themselves from loss; an'i their produce from depreciating in quality n« well ag value. . , Mother Shot uy her Son.— The Grand liap ids (M ich.) Ei\quirer relates the particulars of-a shocking affair, which occurred at a place calk'd Midpoint, last week. The son of Mr. Pago was practising with liis rifle on the door of the privy in the yard, lie looked iitlhu privy to see that no one was there, and. then entered the house fq load his rifle, after marking the door of the privy, with a view to shoot at the mark. After loading, he came out of the house and fired.' He' heard the cry, ‘.Qb, James I” and running up to the building, was just in. time to see his mother breathe her Ins( I ..‘She had entered the building while ho was loading his rifle in the hoiise. , Sell Tour Pioduoe.— One of our exchanges gives the very sensible advice to.the farmers to send their grain toifho market as early ns possi ble, and to pay off their debts to shop keepers, as there is no probability of higher prices being realized by delay. ( It says that the majority ol country traders who fail are ruinqd by credits to farmers, who withhold their crops, month aftci month, with the hope of paying a dollar with fifty cents’ worth of produce. The tanners of Now Jersey lost three millions o( dollars in 1855 by. ko. [ling their corn untfi the country was blockaded up with snow. Such delay will prove exceedingly hazardous this year. Our farmers should take the hint. O” The acting Governor of New Mexico'has transmitted to tho War Department his letter to Col; Bonneville, complimenting him, in the highest terms of commendation, for his suc cessful expedition, into the Gila country, to chastise the Indians of. that region. It was the first time since the United States acquired the Territory that they were made to feel tiio crushing power of our military force. The re sult is. that the Indians have sued for pence, and expressed' themselves anxious to live on friendly terms with the people of the United States. Trial of A Bank Officer. —Tho.

This bank had 100 branches in various parts of Scot land, where, as well as at Glasgow, (headquar ters of the bank.) great inconvenience is caused. Eventually, all its liabilities will be paid. Tills failure had caused a run upon other banks. The City Bank of Glasgow is stated to have stopped payment'also—but we suspect flint (his isathis take in the telegram, arid that the Western Bank was meant, “ _ Dennistoun & Co. had suspended payment— on the ground bfdisappointmont in remittances from the United States.
