", NbwVii.le Disinter.— All honor to the in vincible Democrats of the The majority they gave for the whole Democra tic ticket, is evidence of their devotion to the principles they profess. We point to the re turns of the Newvillo District with pride and pleasure. ; Mbf.tikg op the Return Judges.-- A mee ting of the Return Judges of the election was held-on Friday last, at the Court House. The return of the county votes, ns made out by the Judges, will be found in another column. Our District.—The following is the official vote for-Congress, in this District: Fisher.

M - « By the Skis of his Teeth.”— Col.M'Cart irev, Opp.) is elected. Sheriff of this county, by the. small majority of 69. Robert Allison, a, fruejDenioerat and honest man, has been de. feated by Democratic votes,- !V*o never could see the sense of Democrats opposing their own ticket, and in this case, most particularly, was it, a great error. /We venture to say, there is not a,single Democrat who supported Col. M’Cart key who could get his vote for anything. He would laugh at them if they asked him for sucli a.favor.' And yet he has behn elected Sheriff by Democratic votes. Shame. Sumner Rifles.— The Sumner Rifles, Capt. James M’Cariney, paraded for the first time; on 'Thursday last, numbering some 36 men, rank and file. The Company presented a very neat , and soldierllikci 'appoarance, and attracted gene ral attention.- In the afternoon the ■By .invitation, paid a visit to the Fair grounds; and went through a number of military evolu tions, to'the delight of ail spectators. The Rifles have adopted the United States uniform, with- hat and feather. The members of this Company are active young,men of our borough,- and We most heartily wish them and the Com pany success. By-close attention to the drill, and a perfect obedience to the word of com mand, is the way to make a good Company; Our New Sheriff. —Col. Robert M’Cart net the newly elected Sheriff, will assume the duties of his office in the course" of ten days.— Hb will, we doubt, not, make an efficient officer. ,03” The Perry County Democrat, in, speaking of the defeat of .Mr. Fisher, and the large ma jority cast against him in Perry county, uses this language: . ’ • “Hud the just claims of Perry been rccog- ; riized in the conference, there would have boon a different result in this county. Honor and ' justice and right demanded that a Perry county man,should bo nominated. All our warnings were Construed into “ idle threats” and an .utter indifference was manilostgd when the conse quences of a refusal to do ps justice were held up before the eyes'of York ambjjuraberland. The caution was disregarded, relying on their own sfrength to carry the district. Our predic tions have been verified. The. opposition, tak. ihg advantage of the feeling of indignation everywhere manifested throughoutrtbe county immediately after the nomination Was announ ced, have, by appealing to their county pride, induced many Democrats to support Mr. Jun- HIH.” We ask friend Magee to be a little mere ex plicit, and inform us who ho means when lie Speaks of “ a.Perry county man.” Has he re ference to Gen. Fetter 7 If so,.why did Perry county appoint Conferees opposed to him 7 It he refers to ,Mr. M’lntire, why did Mr. Magee. and'fifs-friends visit Bridgeport during the sit tings of tire Conference, and beg the .Conferees “ for God’s sake, not to nominate M’lntire 7” Why did they toll «j that Mr. M’lntire, in the event of his nomination, would be defeated in Perry, county by 1000 majority 7 The editor of the Democrat says his “predic tions have been verified,” and this is true.— tong before the nomination ho threatened the defeat of the candidate if he (Magee) was not —gratified. InJlifLulUticO.-■ His choice, it is. well known, was Gen. Fetter. He was for “a Per ry county man” provided that man was Gen. Fetter ; and even after Goo. F. was defeated in Perry, he still insisted that be was the “ Per ry county man.” Parry, county gave a largo majority against the lamented'BoNiiAM —she now gives a largo majority against Mr. Fisher, and this is what the Democrat calls “ county pride.” Where was their “ county pride” in voting for their county ticket 7 Did “ county pride” also defeat it 7 ■ A'. If. Snowdon.— Tho Pqttsville Standard of last Saturday contains Ike annexed complimen tary but well deserved notice of A. L.Snowdon, Esq,, of Philadelphia. Mr. S. is a native ol old. Mother Cumberland, and during tho late hotly contested campaign he labored assiduous ly in behalf of the Democratic cause, and made many warm-friends. Ho is certainly destined! to become a favorite champion pi Democratic principles in the KeystonoStatc : ‘ “This young gentleman has been spending a few days in this region, and during tlmt time he lias devoted himself to the cause of Democracy. He is tho nephew of the Hon. J. Rosa Snowden, tho efficient and experienced Director of the Mint in Philadelphia. He addressed two mass meetings of tho Democratic party here with sig nal ability and effect. Mr. Snowdon possesses many oft the elements which constitute a first class orator, and bis uibanity and courtesy of manner* his flflent and classical diction, produ ced the impression upon all who heard him,that he Is a gentleman and a scholar. Wo predict that he will make his mark. At tfamaqua, tlm dense audience listened for amhour and a-hall to his argumentative and eloquent appeals. His patriotic exertions in the cause of tho Demo eratio party deserves our highest praise.” UidiBASEOP Population. —The Dubuque (Iowa) Times says that, by a recent census of the city, made by the district board of direc tors, under the provisions of the school law, the population of Dubuque is 67S less than that of.lasl year. Since the smoko has cleared away after the late battle, it may be well to look around us and gather up our scattered array. So far ns old Mother Cumberland is concerned, ye point to her vote with pride and satisfaction. In the language of an eminent statesman’, who. was speaking of his own State, t't'there she is—be hold her, and fudge for yourselves /” Porter carries this county by 310: Frost by 852; and Fisnnn (our candidate for Congress,) by 208— majorities creditable under all circumstances, but doubly so at the late election. The other counties composing this Congressional District promised great things, but failed on the day of battle—from what cause we leave it to our friends of York and Perry to explain. During the contest we steadily looked the exciting questions of the day in the face, and onr party friends were fully advised upon the great issues before them. We are not of those, however, who believe that Lecompton or anti-Lecompton had any thing to do with the defeat of bur candidate for Congress. The defection in York and Perry, we have reason to believe, was purely local.— The nominee seems to have been singularly un fortunate in the combinations arrayed! against him. With the exception of Cumberland, the party was in a state of disorganization in the District, and oDcourse this encouraged our ene mies. and induced them to strain every nerve and unite to a man. 8600', ■ 8046 8600 , The defeat of Mr. Fisher was a contingency we were not prepared for, and we confess' our disappointment. As we gave him tt-larger ma jority in Cumberland, however, than we prom ised, our skirts are.clcar—we at least perform ed our duty. Had his .own county discharged her duty one-fourth as well, he would have been elected triumphantly.. Mr. Fisher can take consolation in the. reflection that he is not alone in defeat. Even “mighty old Berks” has for once gone astray, and, J. G fancy Jones, the champion of the people’s rights, is defeated by 19 majority! Mr, Fisher therefore falls, with others who have, stood faithfully ;by the President and his administration, and with the Democratic party throughout the State. To use the language of a cotempOrary, “ the-peo ple, misled for the time by the demagogical orieS of our opponents, have thought proper to hold the Democratic party-responsible for the business troubles and general want of work and money under which they now .sutler, but which causes other than those of a political na ture have produced; and they have shown their displeasure by striking down those who, by Tni!?'COUSTY---T4lE’ELECTloN."“”’^^^^^' their connection with the Administration,'were considered, but most unjustly,, as parties to its imaginary short-comings. The ’sober second thought of the people, and the discovery ( which .must boon come,) that the ilew men in whose promises they have confided, can do nothing to. help them, will convinco them of their error. and bring them right again. Of this we are as, sure, as that the Democratic parly of Pennsyl vania still lives, arid will ultimately,triumph in spite of occasional reverses,” Then,. courage, friendsl Wo cannot recall the past, but we can make ready against the future. The enemy may riot for a year or two ; hut if we are true to ourselves, and faithful to our principles, victory will ore long again perch upon our banners. : ! 1 Tfim Defeat.ok Mr. HisnEß.-j-The York Democratic Press ht Monday, thus refers-to the defeat of our candidate for Congress: ■ Air. Fisher fought the battle ably, gallantly , and courteously, and if for ho other reason, de- ( served success. -Had-York .County but half done her duty, wo would not now, be compelled I to-chronicie his defeat. All honor to Old Moth- i er Cumberland, fdr th 9 handsome majority she rolled np for him.. Sho did more, than her dm ■ ty, and, she has the honor of having been true to the cause, when sonic of our most reliable counties proved faithless. We repeat, “ all honor to old Mother Cum berland but what can we say of “ glorious old Democratic Yoik,” as the Conferees from that county at Bridgeport, were in the habit of \ calling her % Wo confess, we have been most grossly deceived by York then. The Conferees of York county were sent to Bridgeport instruc ted for Mr. Fisher “from first, to lastthey, with their “ 2000 majority” scorned the idea of going for any one else. They sneered at both Cumberland, and Perry, and were con- stantly reminding us of the great majority they could give. After balloting for a month, we gave them the candidate, and on the day of the election, instead of giving him,“ 2000 majori ty,” as they promised,-they gave him 211— just 1789 short of their boastful promise, and 3 majority more than ho received in Cumber land ! We repeat, we have been deceived by the representations of York men—deceived by her Conferees, and .by the scores of men who visited 1 Bridgeport during the sittings of the Conference.' Henceforth let “old Democratic York” cease her habit of boasting, and let her Conferees too he careful not to sheer quite so ■loud at old Mother. Cumberland. Sir. Fisher, we have to believe, has been basely treated by those who pretended to be his friends—ho has. been slaughtered by his own county. They have defeated, him, and in doing so, have deceived and insulted Cumber land. We have no patience with men who thus act—no belief in their political integrity; and we now give them notice, if' they ever again in- struct their Conferees to support a candidate for a nomination “from first to last,” Cumber land will refuse to meet with them. We sup ported Mr. Fisher with a hearty good-will, be cause we wonted him elected. We, of course, supposed York to be in earnest, when she in structed, almost unanimously, for Mr. Fisher , “ from first to last.” It appears now, howev er, that we were mistaken, and that Mr. Fish- I er was only pul up as a mark for traitors to shoot at. More anon. Old Mother Cumberland. The York Gazelle pays our county the follow ing compliment: Gaiiant CuMßixii.A nu,—"VAo can scarcely find words strong enough to express our admi ration at the manner in which the Democracy oi Cumberland performed their duty on Tuesday last. They have been found faithful amid all disaffection (hat prevailed around them. The vote they gave for tho State ticket and our Con gressman, is an evidence that they, at least, felt the great importance of tho battle they, were fighting. All HONOR TO THE TRUE HEARTED AND OAIIANT DEMOCRACY OP OID MOTHER CUM remand! Resumed.— Tho nail factory of Mr. Pratt, near Fairview, went info operation on the 13th alt. It gives employment to over one hundred hands. For. two or three years the factory has been lying, idle, and it is a cheering sign of the improvement of the times that it will be soon again, in-the full tide of successful operatic® ‘" "REJOICINGS OF THE OPPOSITION. - The Republican- Know- Nothing- Abolition party of” this county had a good time of it on Friday evening. At ah’early hoqr they got out the bid cannon, and, placing it on the Public Square, fired some filly rounds, in honor of their victory in thb State—a victory which they had failed, to assist much in achieving. [See returns in another column.] Then they gave a half dozen shots in honor of the election of Jun : i>in to Congress, which was a piece of presump tion, when we take into consideration the fact that Fisher carried this county by the usual Democratic majority. Junkin is elected, “by the skin of his teeth,” it is true, but he has his friends in York and Perry to thank for his suc cess —he owes nothing to Cumberland. .After the firing had ceased, a meeting was organized in the Court Douse, to hear speeches from Coh.FouXEY, and Dr. G. W. Nbiiingeb, of Philadelphia. In a few minutes the redoubtable Col. F., flanked on cither side by two Black Re publicans, made his appearance hall, and was received with shouts of applause by his new associates. Close behind him followed Dr. Neb. ingeu —who, by-lhe-way, had just been inglo riously defeated for Congress in the First. Dis- trict. The Doctor is what the ladies would call “a nice young man,” and in religion is a full-blooded Catholic. His-guard on this, occa sion, consisted of four rampant Know Nothings! He too was received with applause, and escorted to the speaker’s stand. : •, After the cf,eying had subsided, our Republi can friend, W* M. Penrose, Esq., made a few remarks, and introduced Col.; Forney, to the meeting. The “champion” rose to his feet, and after looking “wise as an owl” for some min utes, commenced his harangue. Dis speech was a confused jumble—such as might be expected from, a man who felt that he had deceived the party that made him. in one sentence he re joiced oyer the success of the Opposition —in the next he would give them a severe “dig in the ribs.” - lie said, among other things, that the present victory could not; and should not be claimed as a Republican victory, nor as a Know Nothing victory, nor as a People’s Party victory. He claimed it as a victory for a principle, and. not for a party—a victory oyer the administra tion, and a condemnation of the Kansas policy of Hr. Buchanan. De said he had no objec tions to the Republicans rejoicing Over the result of the recent election, but he could not but re mind them at the same time, that they had, quite recently, opposed the very principle the people had endorsed on the 12lh of Ociober! He refered to the repeal of the Missouri Com promise, a measure the Black Republicans had condemned and opposed with so much bitter ness! He said the measure was right, and the 1 .'Republicans wrong—-that the repeal of the Com, promise was an act. for which the American people would ever thank Judge Douglas and the Pierce administration ! We noticed that the Colonel’s new friends felt restless under these remarks ; the leaders wiggled upon their seats,, cast shecpls eyes at each other, arid shook their heads, as the Democrats present laughed. The speaker, we doubt not, noticed this; for he dropped the subject, and belched forth against Mr. Buchanan, and denounced, in vehement .crfns.thc course of the administration in regard to Karisas. The.office holders,-too —that un fortunate class of if®i who are to bo maligned by every tKraagbgue and irigjatc—werajmathe matized as tiine-serverfrarid spaniels 1 TTuT Cul. forgot, perhaps; I bat he had been an Office-hol der himself, and was-an expectant "when he quarrelled with Mr. Buchanan. Thcsedemm ciations put his Republican hearers again in a good humor,-and Mr. Forney concluded his speech, 1 and retired from the stand. Dr. Nebinger followed Col. Forney, in a short speech, in also put in his “lip s worth” against the administration. . He was particular to tell his bearers that he had been a candidate for Congrsss_m the First District, and that he' bad been defeated ; be did not, however, mention the number of votes oast against him, 1 for bad he done so there might have been a , laugh at his expense. It looked strange to see i a Catholic addressing a KnoW-Nothing-Repub • lioan meeting ! Had lie even made his appear , anoe in such a meeting in Carlisle, a fevy months i ago, he would doubtless have received the same treatment men of his sect received at Baltimore a few days since at the hands of Know Noth-, ingtsm—a fractured head. He is now only tol erated in a Know .Nothing meeting because that faction always admired treachery and double dealing. , Mr. Todd wound up the speaking, and de nied seme of the allegations of Col. Forney. He contended that tho victory over which they were rejoicing was a party victory, the asser ; lions of Col. Forney to the contrary notwith standing, When jie had concluded, the meet ing quietly adjourned. ; "A bouDro and procession followed the meeting, and thus ended the jubilee o( our opponents. We must say they conducted themselves be comingly .during the few hours they occupied in their fun, and for this we give them credit; A few words jn regard to Col. Forney. With him we have been on terms of intimacy from our boyhood.'and this is the first time in our life that we differed with him in politics: Many articles have we written in his . defence—many times have we defended him against the fierce assaults of those who acted as his body-guard on Friday evening, They have rejoiced, and we have grieved, when disappointment was his doom. They danced witli joy, when we lamen ted his defeat for U. S. Senator. They have been ready at all limes to draw the sword across his throat, and have slandered him in their newspapers ; we have hurled back their slan ders and wrested their swords from their hands. Such being the case, our feelings can be imag ined when we saw JOHN W. Forney addressing the Black Republicans and Know NothihgST his late relentless enemies—and congratulating them upon the victory achieved over tfie Democ racy ! We pitied him, for it was a melancholy spectacle of political profligacy, and wo know Col. Forney himself felt uncomfortable in his new position. And for liitii to attack and vil lify that pure mim and finished statesman, James Buchanan— a.man old enough to be his grand-father—was something we were not pre pared to hear. Even his new friends hung their heads at times, as if ashamed of the de basement of the speaker. But enough—Col. Forney’s present position is but another evi dence that “Ho that stands upon a slippery place, 1 ’ Makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.” A farmer in Chattanooga county, Ga., warns tho public against feeding cattle with green'Chinese Sugar cane. He says it will hilt a cow in thirty minutes,' TnEAGGICELTCBSIFAIB, Tho Fair of the Cumberland County Agricul tural Society for this 'year, commenced on Wednesday, and closed on Friday evening of last week. Th 6 Fair was ,a magnificent one, far exceeding any heretofore held,-and . during the whole three days of the exhibition our town and the Fair Grounds were crowded, and pre sented an unusually animated and busy appear ance. Owing to.thoadmirablcarrangementSof the managers of the Society, every thing went along harmoniously and smoothly, and all had an ample opportunity of seeing the thousand and one beautiful things on exhibition., Tho Garrison Band was present upon the ground during the whole time, and enlivened the occa sion by discoursing sweet music, much to the gratification of Tho thousands continually move ing to and fro, in pursuit of new objects of beauty and interest to feast their eyes upon. The display of stock was very fine—a great number of superior horses, mules, cattle, hogs, &c., being on exhibition. The exhibition of poultry was large, and highly creditable tp our county. 'The exhibition of machinery, such as Thresh ing Machines, Mowers and Reapers, Grain and Corn Drills, &c., was highly creditable to the skill and,ingenuity.of our machinists and me-, chanics. Mr. James SrfctßßSs. of Perry coun ty, exhibited a Washing Machine and Churn, which attracted much attention, and for tho in vention of which a patent has lately been issued. The exhibition of carriages. Buggies, &0., was equal to last year, and equally creditable. ..The display of grains, vegetables, &c., was Very fine. . ... The ladies’ department was far a-hcad of pre vious years, and was admired by all. The display of flowers by Mrs. G. W. Siieafkr, was equal to any we have ever seen. The large dis play of elegant, fine and beautifulNeedie Work, a hundred things, the names and mysteries of which we never expect to know, shows that the fair fingers or the fingers of our fair ladies, have not been, idle in the past year. ■ On Friday afternoon the address was deliver ed by Col. John W. Forney, of Philadelphia. It was a most chaste'and eloquent discourse on the subject of agriculture, and was listened to. with profound attention by the thousands pres ent.’ We have often beard Col. F. deliver politi cal spoeches, but nevfir before heard him On any other subject than politics. He appears to bo as much at home, however, on the subject of agriculture, as he is in politics, and his address on Friday was highly Satisfactory to all who heard,it. .1 e. . ..

A Jewish Military Company;— A Nor folk paper states that a new military company will be shortly raised in that city; .to be com posed, entirely.iof Jews. The number, already enrolled amounts to thirty, which will probably Redoubled. It is the first lime we have heard of this class of our population turning .their at tention to Inilitary pursuits in time of peace, but, as id the days of David there were mighty men of valor among the Jewish nation, we pre sume that the spirit which animated their fore fathers still exists among them. [C7”A duel was recently fought near Mem phis, Tenn., between Mr. Waters, of Virginia, and Dr. J. E. Nagle, formerly of Lancaster, Pa. They met ou an island, and without any witnesses but their seconds, fought one of the bloodiest duels on . record, They fired two rounds .with Derringer pistols, both being wounded:at each fire. . They then,"by agree ment, resorted to revolvers and continued the fight. Mr. Waters was riddled at every shot, and died the same night. Dr; Nagle received wonnds that will probably terminate fatally.

We hope that the fleet may yet ho fortunate enough to secure good fares, as their success thus far this season has been rather discouraging. , , ___ Latest European ; Nbivs."—We have four days later hews frdm.Eufope by the steamships Indian Empire and City of , Baltimore.

The line from St, Petersburg to Moscow is to be continued to the. Chinese frontier. An official synopsis of Ilia English treaty with China is published at last: it does not differ-materially from that unoffici ally given. The British forces are not to be withdrnwn from Canton until the indemnities are paid in full. There is louder talk in Spain about proceeding vigorously against Mexico. A conspiracy in Persia against the Prime. Minis ter had failed, and the leaders had been behead ed. 17 16 The cotton-market is quiet, and prices arc unchanged. Breadstuff's are lower. The negroes arc to have a Convention at Cincinnati, on the 23d; 24th and 25th of vemher next, to consider the disabilities un er which they now labor.
