Tl'.o only trial that caused any feel ing was that of Rider and wife, charged with the murder of their infant child. A great number of witnesses were, examined, including all tile physicians of Carlisle., After a two days tidal, the case was submitted to the Jury, who after a short absence, returned a verdict of “ not guil ty.” Messrs. Watts and Todd were attorneys for the accused, and Status-Attorney Shearer for the Commonwealth. The Pinnae Library. —The Schooipircctors, says the Democrat, having made arrangements for the establishment of a_ public library, and having secured quite a number of valuable books by contribution, Education Hall was thrown open to the public on Thursday evening last, to afford any who desired to avail them selves of an opportunity to spend the evening in useful reading, but we regret to any the op portunity was embraced by very lew. The Hall will bo open every Thursday evening, and we hope more interest will ho manifested—by our citizens in the enterprise. Many of our young men could spend an hour very profitably and y comfortably, without charge, if fliey,would but do so. Carlisle Deposit Bank, —Mr. N. 0.

The stockholders and friends of the institution will bo glad to learn that Mr. Bbbteji has accepted, and is again at his old post, which he was compelled to vacate a few months since oh account of im paired health. Mr. Mussulman," during the past few months he. acted in. the capacity of Cashier, gave general satisfaction to all having, business to transact in the bank. .

There seems tobe. no formidable difficulty in the way of the design. Autumn, with its damp, chill winds. Us murky skies. itsUadcd leaf and flower, is here at last; and once where sunshine and beaut y reigned, gloom and desolation now claim ex clusive control.: But, whilst all without is, dreary and forsaken, renewed charms are lent ■to the hearthstone; to the family and. social circle.

It proposes to ad vocale the general interest of. the Democratic party. ’ A Blue Fill.. —The election ot a Democratic member of Congress in-Wisconsin, and another in Michigan, has taken the Republicans by sur prise, In their victorious march through the country, the thought of defeat in a single State had not once occurred to- them, )uul especially in such Republican strongholds, as the above. Hence the election of these Democrats Is pecu liarly aggravating to them. The Chicago Democrat says:—“The friends of Judge Douglas had a grand jollifica tion-Saturday evening at the residence of Col. McCook. The lending toast was, ‘The United Democracy, and the success of the Charleston nominee.’ ” The Democrat also says that Sen nlor tJouglas will give the Administration a hearty support, the eoraihg session of Congress. l£7” Ybe merchants of Baltimore have sub scribed upwards of §4OOO for the families ol Rigdon and Benton, the murdered policemen and the subscription is still going forward. An Old Editor Dead.— John Baer, Esq., the editor and senior publisher of the Lancaster Volksfreund, and the oldest printer' and pub lisher in Lancaster, died in that city on Satur day last. The newspaper which he edited is one of the most influential and profitable Ger roan papers in the country. From Oregon.— Advices received from Ore gon to the 6th ult., represent the hostile Indi ans as sueingfor peace, which Colonel Wright refuses to grant without an unconditional sur render, with all their women and property. The soldiers were destroying their grain fields and stores of provisions, and the Indians are reduced to a state of starvation. The New York Enquirer has taken ground in favor of Hon. Wm. 11. Seward as the Black Republican candidate for the Presidency in 1860. JC7* Ex-Secretary Stanton has become a per manent resident of Kansas, and is spoken of for XJ. S. Senator.' TUB NOVEMBER ELECTIONS. The elections which conic off recently, in marly air the Northern and Western States; myo resulted disastrously to the Democratic party;, to such an extent, indeed, that the con glomerated Opposition will have a majority in the lower branch of the next Congress, which Wo are sure bodes no good to anybody, and 1 which will, unfortunately, keep jap a continual ferment of the, vexed question which has agita-, tod the country to such a dangerous degree tor the last lour years. Let,the good men of the country, who so nobly stood up against fanati cal Black Republican Abolitionism, pray to God to avert the danger which threatens our glorious Union. The motto of the leaders ol the Opposition is “ ride dr ruin,” and they will be in the ascendant or destroy the Union.in the attempt—if they can. This disastrous state of things in the North, points out the absolute ne cessity for immediate action, and a thorough re-organization of. the Democratic party in the northern States. We are aasuted that this Black Republican does not speak the. real sen iments of this section of the Union, and all .hat is wanting to reverse this order of things is [or the Democratic parly to take a bold and united stand for the Constitution and the Un ion. The party in the North is as strong and as invincible to-day as it ever was. All that is required to make it formidable and ovorwhel* mingly' triumphant, is unity of action and a pre determination to succeed. We repeat—wo have met a disastrous defeat in the Northern and Western States—a defeat, that should open our eyes to our true position. We should ask ourselves—What is wrong?— And after asking this, question, in a spirit of honesty and candor, let us be admonished, and act prudently and with an eye to the welfare of Ihe country arid the Democratic party. We again ask —What is Wrong? But, to ask the question is an easy matter—to answer it is a task that requires a more able pen than.ours. — We confess, we have been disappointed in the result of the recent elections : but this disap pointment should not, and must not, be per mitted to operate against us in future contests. On the contrary, it should' teach, us wisdom, and prudence, and toleration. It is time that all. bickerings in our party should cease, and good feeling inculcated. A few imprudent men, with more zeal than sense, can produce an incalculable amount of mischief to a political part}'. We have such men in. the Democratic party—men whose intentions, we doubt not, are honest, but whose advice is dangerous-—. We want peace in the papiy ; we want confi dence restored ;wo want unity of notion. Then we can bid defiance to all the factions that may be arrayed against us. ■ Tpen we can be suc cessful at the polls. • In the late Contest in Pennsylvania, old Moth- er Cumberland was the only county in the State that proved true to the Democratic, party —the only county in the State, we repeat. And why was this ? Because the campaign was conduc ted with prudence. The Democratic papers of the county took a bold stand in' defense of the National administration, by sustaining its gen-’ al policy. At every Convention and Democrat ic meeting held in this county since 'Mr. Bu chanan assumed the duties of President, his administration was endorsed in strong and cm phatic language—language that could not be misunderstood. But, we did not, at the same time, denounce as “ traitors” those who differed with the administration on the single of the Lecompton Constitution; we did not at (erupt to rear] Judge Dol'Gi.as and his friends out of .the Dcmooraticparty, for had we done so, the result in Ibis county oh the 12th of Oc tober might have been different. Instead of giving a hifn'dred. or two more than the usu al ‘Democratic- majority, . we might have been defeated. The Democrats who cannot agree with the President on the Lecompton ques-. lion, are not the enemies of the administra tion, and every man of them, so far as we know, voted with us'at the late 'election. , Of' course, they have no Idea of forsaking the Democratic [party —it would be an imputation upon their 1 characters to whisper such a charge. They j only ask that their views in regard to Lecomp ton may be tolerated, not endorsed. Their rea sonable request was granted—they were not de nounced, and yet the course of the administra tion. was endorsed by our Democratic Conven tions and meetings. Such was the course o policy adopted by the Democracy of Cumber land in the late contest, and a'glorious victory followed. . In conclusion, then, we again invoke hnrmo ny in the' Democratic ranks. This wo must have, if we desire to he successful in, 1-860-—' Let all Heart-burnings and bickerings be con sidered by-gones, and the eagle of victory will again perch upon our banners. The Lecorop ton question being virtually settled, let all“Dem ocrals yield a willing support to our patriotic President, and our word for. it, he will use his best efforts to reconcile past differences. So mote it be. The ymTED STXtes Army.— The present military loroe of the U.S. consists of nineteen regiments of the line, composed of the following corps Five regiments ol cavalry, four-regi ments of artillery, ten regiments of infantry, making a grand aggregate of thirteen thousand rank and file of all arms. This little army covers an area of over two millions of square miles, being nearly two thirds of all Europe. There arc eleven hundred commissioned officers, including one hundred medical officers, eight hundred and fifty of whom graduated at the military academy, and two hundred and fifty civil appointments. The nativity of these offi cers is as follows:—Born in the United States, 1.060 ; Ireland, 14: France, 8 ; England, 6 ; Germany, 3 ; Scotland. 2 ; Austria. 1; Italy. I ; Poland, 1; Spain, 1; Cuba, 1 ; Turkey, 1: at Sea, 2. The militia force of the United States is com puted at 3,000.000 effective men, of Which the State of New York claims to furnish 500,000. [Cr' The late news about the Paris “fash ions” is somewhat startling.. Fat is the rage Ladies cultivate it. They are devouring vast quantities of butler, mashed rose leaves, and such like. The Empress is quite corpulent, which accounts for the style. We hail it with “joy.” A new era is dawning. Our girls will stop eating slate pencils and chalk, and com mence partaking liberally of roast beef and baked beans. They will rise with the lark, they will exercise. They will try on the wash tub, perhaps. Sad News.—The latest "fashions" say, “skirls are still worn very long behind, sweep ing the ground, but in front they will be much shorter/' The Recent Elections -and their Influence upon the next Presidential Contest, Since the. first of August last, says the Bed ford Gazette, elections have been held in a num ber of Slates, North and South. Prom the re sults of these elections, we may forttt some idea of the relative,, strength of the different political parties and of tfio, pfobablc condition in which they will severally enter into the great battle Which is to bo fought two years hence. In Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, and North Car olina, the Democrats count their gatns by thou sands nnd tens of thousands, Whilst in the rer maining Southern States, that have recently vo- ted, they retain the ascendancy, by their usual majorities. The fourteen Southern Slates that cast their voles for Mr. Buchanan, in 1856, are more firmly Democratic than ever. But in the North, parties and politics are in an unsettled condition. A combination of the isms opposed to, the Democracy, has triumphed in two of the five Northern Slates that voted for Mr. Buchan an, viz: Pennsylvania and Now Jersey. The remaining three, Indiana, Illinois and Califor- nia. (Hie 1 last named by a largely increased ma jority.) are still Democratic. The root of the Northern States, with the exception of Minne sota, remain Black Republican, as they were in 1856, although in most of them there are heavy Democratic gains. For instance, in New York, tlie Democracy are beaten by about fifteen thou sand. whilst Fremont’s majority over Buchan an, was 80,000 and the combined vote of Fre mont and Fillmore exceeded that of Buchanan 1205.000! This shows, a Democratic gain in this State in two yearsj)f 65,000! In Maine, Massachusetts and even in Vermont, there are Democratic gains. In lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, the Black Republican majorities are greatly reduced and in each of the last’two the Democrats gain a member of Congress. In short, the vote of the North is considerably less emphatic against the Democracy than it was two years ago. Demagogues may talk, about the people rebuking the Administration, but they cannot make figures he, and when they come to count their Anti-Democratic majority' 1 in the Northern States that have , just spoken, they will find themselves decidedly unable to cipher'll up as large as in 1856. Th Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin,'all of which were formerly Democratic, the Democra cy have once more obtained a foot-hold, by elec ting some of their .candidates for Congress.— The tendency of these States is now toward their first love and the Black Republicans are already apprehensive of their return to the Dem ocratic party in I 860; In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the successor the Opposition will prove but temporary, their supremacy in these States, whenever they obtained it. having al-. ways been spasmodic and short-lived. The shrewd and calculating men of the Opposition, even now concede these States to the Democrats at the next election. The result in Now York,, notwithstanding the defeat of the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, is ominous to' the Opposition. It is a triumph for Seward and the. ultra-Black Re publicans. It is the annihiliation .of Critten den; it scatters the so-called “ People’s Par ty” to the four winds of heaven. It draws deeper and darker the lino of deraarkalion’be tween the Black Republicans, and the Ameri cans, and forces the latter to maintain a sepa rate organization, or, if they would preserve whatever'is national in their creed;' lo unite with the Democracy. It does all this, because Morgan, the Governor elect, is the representa - live of the Seward party, and because he. (Morgan,) succeeded not only over the- Demo cratic candidate, but also over the American, thus placing Seward in the foreground, as the choice of the Opposition in New York, for Pres ident in I 860! lienee, in making up our opinion l as to the lalure and issue of the next Presidential cam paign.Tvhcn wo remember that the whole South, with the exception of Maryland, is firmly , with the Democratic party, that the Opposition to the Democracy in the North; did not show near so formidable a front at the last, election as in 1856, that Seward the great sectionalist. will probably bo the Black Republican nominee, and that the Americans will have a candidate o* their own in the field, we cannot, arrive ; at any other conclusion than that a Democratic Presi dent Will again be chosen on the first Tuesday of November, 1860. Six Generations. —On Wednesday week, at West Roxbury, Mass., a boy was born who can count probably more living ancestors than any other person in Massachusetts. He has, of course, a mother—but lie al'so'possessos the care of the following; A grandmother, aged 40; a great-grandmother, aged 58; and-a great-great grandmother, aged 79 ; and a groat-great-great _grandfiither, aged 97. . But the most singular of of all is, that all but the old gentleman were born in the same house and same room, and he says he himself would have been, had it not been for a visit his parents were making hear Boston. Mr. Pre3oqtt, thq old gentleman re ferred topis now looking finely, and says if ho lives long enough to seudiis last little hero mar ried, and a father, bo will boat the world and bo satisfied. Kansas Fatal to Ni-.wsi’Al'Kßh. —The Law rence (Kansas) Herald of Freedom, says: “Vfe find that some twenty-five newspapers, which have been started in Kansas since its settlement iii ttie fall of 1854, have suspended, or gone down entirely. In fact, save the Leavenworth Herald and the Herald of Freedom , the two ol dest newspapers in the Territory, wo believe there is not a paper which has an editor who dates his connection with the Kansas press back of the spring of 1857. Some half a dozen presses have been brought to the Territory, which were never used by their original propri etors, but changed hands before they were used. A press was taken to Fort Riley in 1855, and is now owned by Mr. Garvey, of Topeka. Ano ther was taken to Manhattan during that year, and is now in this office. The press on which the Osawatomio Herald was printed, was taken there in 1855, was buried in a wood pile when thejown was destroyed, and laid idle until last winter, when it was brought forth to print that journal. A strange fatality has attended the Kansas newspapers, and their future history will be very interesting. Singular Coincidence.— Both Mrs. Gardner, of Bingham, Massachusetts, and Mrs. Studley, of Valley Falls, K. 1., wore previous to their arrests, considered highly respectable; both were married ladies; both wore convicted of the mur der of-their husbands;’ both committed this crime by the same moans, namely, poison; both were sentenced upon the same day, to wh, 28th of October, ultimo—by the Supremo Courts of tho two States—and both for and during their natural lives. Who are Aristocrats? Twenty years' ago this man-made candles, that one sold cheese and butter, another hutch ed, a fourth carried on a distillery, another was a contractor on canals, others were merchants and mechanics. They are acquainted with both ends of society, as their children will bo after them, though it .will not do to say it pul loud. For often you shall find that these toil ing worths hatch butterflies, and they live about a year. Death brings a divisioiaofprop erty, and it brings new financiers : the mtFgent is discharged, the young gent takes his reve nue and begins to travel —towards poverty, which he reaches before death, or his children if he docs -not. So that it is not hereditary ; it is accessible to all. Three good seasons of cotton will send a generation of men up —a score o? years will bring them all down and send their children to labor. The father grubs and grows rich—his children strut and use the money.— the children in turn inherit the pride and go to shiftless poverty ; next, their children, re invig orated by fresh plebeian blood and by the smell of the clod, come up again. , Thus society, like a tree, draws, its sap from . the earth, changes it into leaves and blossoms: i spreads them off to fall to the earth, again to ■ mingle with the soil, and at length to re appear in a new dress and fresh garniture. Singular.— ln the recent address of the Hon. T. L. Olingman, before the North Carolina State Fair, he mentions, in connection with the manufacture of wine, and the difficulty on the Atlantic slope of the tfnited States of prevent ing its acetous fermentation, a remarkable fact concerning a locality of the westerfi partof that State. In a district of a few miles in extent on the Tyron mountain, neither dew nor frost is ever known. The same district is remarka ble for the variety and excellence of its native "grapes; and are found elegant in the open air as late as December." The dryness of the at mosphere in the locality mentioned, and-its equability of temperature are most remarkable, and we should like to know more concerning it. . How Coal is Bought and sold in Lon don.'—ln ‘ the city, of London coal is sent to consumers ,in sacks containing one hundred pounds each. These are loaded on large carts, drawn by enormous horses, with ' scales and weights to each cart, and if desired by the pur chaser, the sack is weighed by the driver. When the honesty of the coal merchant and the integrity of, the driver are well established, the weighing of the sapk'is seldom required. And in the purchase of a cart load of sacks, some three or four of them taken promisoously, -arc tested by the scales, and if found correct the. weighing of the remainder of the load is dia pensed with. This mode of buying and selling coal is the result of many years’ experience in' the vast city of London, and is better calculated to do justice to the hon'esf dealer and the con sumer than any plan we have seen in practice' or proposed in this country.. D Z/* Among the curious devclopements.of the stoppage of a banking house in Washington city recently, is the fact that Brigham Young comes out minus some $lO,OOO, having been a depositor to that extent through the agency of the Territorial deligate, who transacted his financial matters in that quarter. It seems, with all.Brigham’seevotion to Mormonistn. he thought it as rrelMtc provide for a wet day elsewhere, and hence has- been emulating the example of spnte other rulers, who make , in vestments at a distance from the scene of threa tened or impending Revolution.

The, American journals of all political'parties are turning their attention to the distracted and disorganized condition of Mexico. There is great uniformity of opinion expressed in rela- tion to our duty in reference to the present state of affairs in that lawless .region, ns well as in Central America., The Troy Budgel says very truly, that matters seem to bo rapidly approach, ing a crisis in this unhappy and distracted coun try. Tossed on the wave's of revolution—at the mercy first of this faction, and then of that, she has had no stable government—no law and order, for the protection of her own citizen's, dr those of other countries sojourning there. An archy has ruled the hour, and among Hie scores, of petty chiefs who have from time to time as pired to the reins of power, thorp has not as yet been one who has risen above the level of a 'brigand. The rights of property or person have not been respected, and our own citizens, in common with those'.of other nations, have been the subjects of repeated and aggravated plunder and abuse. Nature lias lavished upon Mexico nil the favors of soil and climate. Her people might be industrious and happy —yet to sucii an extremity lias she been reduced by-the feuds which have rent her in pieces, that agriculture and commerce are at a stand still, and industri al pursuits of every name are completely pa ralyzed. . From the proximity of Mexico—lying ns it docs at our doors —it is all important that our citizens should "not bo debarred from, the privileges of commercial intercourse; and from the enjoyment of protection in the peaceful pur suits of trade. Nor are we impelled alone by our own interests, to take decisive steps in this matter. Kuropoan nations, who have an inte rest hardly second to our own, aVe looking to ns as the power to whom a guardianship over the affairs of Mexico belongs, by virtue of our geo graphical position. The time is close at hand when the United States must check the lawless rule which has obtained there, and.establish peace within her borders. We should therefore be shaping our policy with a view to the emer gency which has arisen. ' Wo are glad to learn that several of our vessels of war are being re called from distant points, with special reterenoe to the existing complications -in Mexico. Per haps the -precise moment has not yet arrived for decisive action,.but it is evidently riot far off. ' KPT Gov. Packer has issued a proclamation, as required by the law, In which, he declares, “ that Thos. B. Florence, Edward Joy Morris, John P. Verree, William Millward, John Wood, Jno.

Stew art, Chapin Hall, and Elijah Babbitt, have been returned as.duly elected in the several districts' before mentioned, as Representatives in the Congress ot the United States, for the term of two years, to commence from and after the 4th day of March next.” . Of the Gouldy family, we learn from the' New York papers, that Mrs. Gouldy is impro ving rapidly, but no hopes are entertained for Mr. Gouldy. He has recently manifested con sciousness, but does not know of the fearful end of his son. He is aware who it was that wound ed him, and supposes that the hoy is in prison. His physicians and attendants are careful riot to let him know the true.state of the case, and it is likely that be will die in happy ignorance of •what has transpired. There is but little hope ill- the itjtimato recovery of the two servants'. Judge Douglas! —Whatever may be the rela tions which Judge Douglas sustains toward the Democratic party of tho nation, one thing is certain —ho has unhorsed the chosen champion of Black Republicpriism in Illinois and robbed the Opposition of a triumph which they confi dently and fondly anticipated; and whatever good, or hi, his re-election to the U. S, Senate, may bring to the Democracy, it is not to be do med 1 that his success has demoralized the Black Republican organization in Illinois, and has laid on the shelf one of the most talented and untir ingof-its leaders; When at, the beginning of the last session of Congress, Judge Douglas op posed the Kansas policy of President Buchanan, tlie Black Republicans were loud in their praises . of his independence, and literally bedizened his name with their guttering laudations. Of late, . however, they have acquired a distaste for his <• independence” and they now begin to think that Douglas isn’t so patriotic: alter all.
