AMERICAN VOLUNTEER JMiY B. BRATTON, Editor & Proprietor, PAv, APRIL' 7, 1859., Democratic State Nominations, FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, RICHARDSON L WRIGHT, Of Philadelphia* J>OR SURVEYOR GENERAL, JOHN ROWE,- Of Franklin County. New Goods. —Our friends Leidich Sawyer, Abner Bentz, P. Arnold and S. L. Levi, have received large supplies of Spring Goods, where all are invited to call. Advertisements nest week. ~ A Lively Day.— Friday last, April 1, was a: lively day in Carlisle. At an early hour, hundreds of our country friends poured into town —some to “ pay up.” and others to receive the amount due them. Our banks were crow ded'nearly all day, and an immense amount of money changed hands. Money appeared plen ty, an evidence that the “ hard limes are about over. It was also general “ flitting” day, and wagons, carts, men women arid children were on the go from morning till late at night. Tub Weather. —The declaration of the old j gong that “ every day brings something new,” j will apply with force to the ever-changing \vta- \ ihcr, which is as fickle and unreliable as a gc>od many politicians we could name. The clerk of the wealltcr has evidently been on a “ spree” and given the elements, over which he presides, permission to have a “ high old time” to thciu sclvcs. ’■ Mb. Fobxey’s Lecture.— The fourth Lec ture in the brilliant course of Emory 51. E. Church, will be delivered next 'Monday eve ning, the 11th hist, by Col. Jonx W. Fop.nkv, of Philadelphia. Subject —American States men. We shall he glad to hear Mr. Forney oti that subject, and doubt, not that he will furnish a treat worth enjoying. No man has been more intimate with many of our leading " Statesmen, and no man therefore is better qual ified lo hold the mirror up to life. Wo bespeak for. him a crowded audience. ' Books.; Boors.— Citizens and strangers, male and female, who are in want of good books, should read the advertisement of Mr, B; F. Ftißsen, in another column. These books have been selected-with cate, and the stork is large and" varied;. No doubt many of them will sell at half the usual tales. For Pike’s Peak. —Mr. D. V. Am., of New ville, has recently sent to. Kansas some 200 head, of superior 'broke Mules, intended'for Messrs. Eossee, Jones & Tiokland, and to be used in running the Express and Mail line from Leavenworth city to Pike’s Peak. This is a new feature, taking, mules from Pennsylvania to the far west. Great credit isdtie to Mr. Ann for undertaking and accomplishing the enter prise; The line of coaches, wo learn, will be Started immediately, and those who are wen ding their wayto Pike’s Peak, will find it to their advantage to patronize this line. 1 ; :1 Sudden Death.— On Sunday week last, du ring service in (ho Middle Spring Church, a few miles north of Shippensburg. Mr. Andrew Fra zier, an old. and highly respectable resident of that neighborhood, was seized with an Apoplec tic attack, and expired instantly. Plant Fruit Tubes. —Spring is fairly upon ns, inaugurating the season When the farmer and possessor of the smallest garden, are called upon to look to,'the useful and ornamental in the agricultural and- horticultural line. We would advise both classes 10 plant this season, fruit trees, selected with care from the best nur series. These trees, when they spring up, not only prove exceedingly ornamental to a proper ly, but are useful in the fruit they yield to the possessor. Besides, the planting of . trees of this description is not alone an immediate grat ification : but your children, beneath their plea sant shade, and amid their showers of blos soms, will bless the forethought, to which they are indebted ,for the possession. By all means, then, either in or out of town, plant fruit trees. All kinds of fruit arid shade trees, can bo had of Judge Line, at his nursery, at the east end of Carlisle. High Price for Land.— On Friday. March 25th, Col.; W. C. Houser, auctioneer, sold a tract of fifty acres of land joining the southern portion of MeChariicsburg: and belonging to Kimmel’s heirs, for Sl3O per acre. Messrs. A. Ririgiser, J. D. Mohler and M. Miller were the purchasers. This we consider a pretty good price for land, considering that there were no buildings on the tract sold. Blooming. —We have observed for the last week or so, an Apricot tree, standing in the yard-of one of our neighbors, in Bloom.' We have also observed the forward appearance which the Peach trees in this vicinity present. The prospect now is very favorable for an abundant fruit crop in the coming season, but a little frost may blast it. Beautiful. —Nature, is beginning to pul on her, holiday attire, and the fields adjacent to pur town look green and refreshing. The grass grows rapidly, the trees are budding beautiful ly, and soon the atmosphere will be rendoleni with the sweet perfume of the first spring flow ers: . Now rings the woodland loud and long, The distance take a lovelier hue, And drowned in yonder living blue The lark becomes a sightless song. . . tty " My boy what docs your mother do for a living?" wastlsUed of a little bare-fooled ur chin. “ Site,eats cold .wittlcs, sir.” ' A ‘good many persons live in the same way in our town, judging from the number of chil dren who daily preambulale the streets with baskets on their arms begging " cold wittlcs." Some of them, too, arc decidedly epicurean, and refuse to take anything but the very best arti cles in that line. , tty Vocal—The air, about sunrise, with the singing of the robins and blue-birds. ICT - General Adam Diller died in Philadel phia, on Saturday, at his rcsideuce in the Thir teenth ward. The California Legislature has appropri ated 51000 to the Mount Vernon Fund. WILL THEY MARK THE ISSUE? It is not at all surprising, say? the Harrisburg Union, to see the opposition papers lending aid and comfort to the movement of the disorgani zefs, because they hope that the Convention of the 13ih of April will play into their hands,-and enable, them to elect their State ticket. The display of fraternal concord between the organs of disorganization and the regular organs of the Opposition, is so marked, that it is difficult to ■determine whioh'rirc engineering the movement of the 13th of April. A journal that may be classed with the regular Opposition, takes it for granted “that the anli-Lccomplnn Convention will nominate candidates for Auditor General and Surveyor General, in opposition to Wright and Ruwe.” We hope they will, but are not prepared to lake anything for granted concer ning the movement of this body of self-consti tuted political purifiers. It is much more pro bable that they will refuse to nominate a ticket. With the secret understanding that they will go over, bag and baggage, to the Republicans, as most of them did last.fall. When these self elected delegates meet in convention, we expect to see them violently agitated, and to hear them rave and froth about the despotic National Ad ministration —we expect to hear a number of excellent speeches, abounding in the purest pa triotism and the most disinterested alarm at the ! corruption that has crept into government —I | then ns a commentary on so much virtue, we : } expect that “our worthy, honest and much-1 j abused” chief magistrate. Gov. Packer, will be j ! endorsed, including the sub-sale of the canals. I i (The Sunburv and Erie contractors, whose j ! names abound in the cal, wili see that this; f portion of the business of the Convention is not' neglected.) After this glorious demonstration, j wc anticipate that the Convention will dissolve 1 —that the patriots will disperse, and the con- j tractors return to their various jobs —without venturing to nominate a ticket. It will be an agreeable disappointment if they do. Having denounced the regular Convention in the most j unmeasured terms; hiving asserted that it did | not represent the Democratic party, and that j its voice was only the purchased action of office , holders, these have now an oppor-1 tunity of putting iheir failh in their own.alle- j gation to the test. Let them erect a platform, ■ of which the chief planks shall be opposition to ; the National Administration, and admiration | for Wm. F. Packer, including a hearty en-, dorsement of the Stale policy: Upon this plat-: form, let them place candidates, and go before 1 the people with them. This would bebpen and , manly, too much so, we fear, for the office-ha- j ting palrio.s. Judging from their actions in the past, they will not venture to disclose their own insignificance by nominating men of their own kidney, but will prefer to play the sneaking game of aflccting to support the Democratic ■ ticket, while secretly playing into the hands of j the Repub'icans. ' , I It has been asserted' that the Democratic press of this. State generally, disapproves o( the action of the Convention. Now, if the 'assem blage of April 13 h will nominate a ticket u can be ascertained beyond all controversy, where the newspapers of the party stand, whe Iter for the Forney : Packer ticket, or for the Democratic ticket. Will the Convention accept the issue \ . Hie Banks of the United Slates. i | The Philadelphia Argus, in .yp nopsis of the repm-t of the Secre'farj- oflihe Treasury relative to the number, condition.lre sources, Ac., of the blinking institutions of the country; makes the following judicious remarks, which will well repay an attentive perusal: “ Eourieen .hundred and! seventy-six iucorpora ; ted sharing shops in the United States, when within our recollection there were scarce a hun dred and fifty. Well may it be asked, -whith er are we tending?” Fourteen hundred and seventy-six' incorporated parasite, institutions,' like leeches sucking out the very life-blood of the nation—allowed to print paper dollars and to circulate their, empty prontises-lo pay as so much, value received : authorized to loan their own debts and receive interest on what they owe—and lend loo..twice or three,times as much as they are worth, and draw interest on the whole amount. ■ , Who Owns the North Branch ?—A cor respondent of the Harrisburg Patriot If Union, dating from and signing himself •* Wyalusing. ” gives us some information about the North Branch Canal Company. lie says that Gordon P. Mason, of Towanda. has become a profes sional borer at and is trying to de feat any action of the Legislature, in favor of assessing damages along the line to be paid by that company. Wyalusing gives the names of some of the holders of stock .- ' Col. G. P. Mason, holds 8100,000 Hon. J. Laporte, (his partricr,) 100.000 Col. C. F. Welles, Jr;, , 300.000 ■ C. L.

Woodward, 100.000 81 200.000. and all the canal cost them waw 8570,000 in bonds having a long, time to run. Retiring Southern Statesmen —With the expiration of the late Congress! some of the ablest Southern statesmen retired from active political life. Among these may be enuraera ted Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens, of Georgia: Hon. James L. Orr, of South Carolina; and Hon. George W. Jones, of Tennessee. These gentlemen served for many years in the Nation al House of Representatives, and had. gained ihe esteem and respect of the people of every seo lion of the Union for their wisdom and patri otism. . Although representing constituencies remote from the North, yet their ability and devotion to the general interests of the whole country had made their names '•familiar as household words" here, and they will carry with them to private life the beat wishes of all our people for their future prosperity and hap pincss. tty* An aflray occurred at Duncannon, Perry county, on Saturday night last, which resulted in one man being killed andjn another having his nose cut oft. The murderer is named Geo. Mannar, and is described as a most desperate character. Last fall he was arresied in Johns town for attempting to kill a man, but succee ded in making bis escape. Ho hasnot been ar rested. Qy Hon. Arnold Plumcr, of Venango, was robbed of a trunk containing papers and money to the value of §30.000 in Pittsburgh, on Mon day night last. The trunk and a large quanti ty of other slolen goods was afterwards found in the possession of Michael Flannigan, who was committed to answer. THE TEIAL OF SICKLES. Wash., April 4. The space within the bar of the court room was densely crowded with traverse jurors, law yers, reporters and witnesses. More than the usual number of uniformed police were present. The doors were not thrown to the'public, but about -fifty persons were privately admitted to the area ■dsunfly occupied, by, spectators; Many outsiders were clambering for admittance, and a number gained ingress at the window. White much interest was manifested in court, there was generally good order.' The 'judicial preliminaries having been concluded, Sickles was arraigned, and the indictment for lire mur der of Key read to him. In response to the usual question; lie answered, in a tira> tone “Not Grti.TY." The traverse jurors were severally called and accepted or cha lenged ac cording to their responses.'’ . OulOf the panel of thirty jurors five only were selected and sworn. These were discharged until., ten to morrow morning,, with the caution of .the judge not. to speak with, or listen Id any petson on the sub ject of lire trial. Seventy five talismcn were ordered to te summoned by the marshal'.and returned at lire above named time, and court adjourned. fT" The Reading Adler slates that Mr,"Ben jamin Becker, of Bethel township, Berks coun ty. is the owner of a sheep born blind, which has given birth to five lambs within the space of eleven months.

The Exd of the Lancaster .Savings Tx stitutiox.—We learn from the Lancaster Ex aminer. that on Saturday last the Auditors ap pointed by the Court of Common Picas, to dis tribute among those legally .entitled thereto, the balan’ce of the money in the bands of T. E, Roberts, Assignee of the Lancaster Savings In • stitution, filed their'report, which was confirm ed nfst. The balance of money in the hands of the Assignee is §24,919 26. From which must bedtduc:ed the expenses of the audit, §795 50. and the amount of the judgment obtained „by the . Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which, with the interests and costs, amount to §1037r. 55. leaving fir genet’al distribution §23,086 21. This pays the outraged and victimized credi tors of the institution 121 per cent . or twelve dollars and twenty five cents for 8100. The Spring Trade. — The Philadelphia Ga zette is jubilant over the Spring business pros pers. . U says the country seems resolved not to gratify the croakers. .The city joins in the agreement.- The country rushes forward to buy unbounded quantities of merchandise, and the city sells as freely as though confidence had heverlteen impaired. Lethargy is conquered. T|;e mghlmate, which sat so heavily, upon . trade, has been subdued, No more do gloom 1 and despondency oppress the spirit of industry. I Commerce thrives apace, j, The Spring trade is magnificent. .. -■« ' -b-v . a •. ■- s. . . tr, a--' - ■,‘rr ■■ Ll-mder at Middßetows.— The Journal says; •■There is . considerable lumber at this point! though not so much as in other years. .

However, as soon as a regular price is fixed, it will be disposed of,’as there is a demand for the article.” ' Ev* A dreadful affair has just occurred at a place ■ called Harris. Wisconsin. Jonathan Post, a Baptist preacher, and his wife, were bolhkilhd by their son, while the latter was in a stale of frenzy. The murderer is about 30 years of ago,.and has been insane for several years, although he was considered harmless un til this sitd occurrence. ■ To BE Remembered.— The large majority of those whei voted lor the exceedingly moderate resolution of approbation of Governor Packer’s Stale policy, were Lcoompton Democrats, and a large portion of those who voted against giving this drop of comfort to cool the burning con science of this creature of the Democratic party, were formerly anli-Lecompton Democrats. ’ ShockiNg.-Tlic. following shocking incident is related by the Erie Gazelle.

Postmaster General Halt's letter on the’ Jffoiri, of Hie Department. Poar Office Depabtmen*, 1 , Mnrcli 23d,1859. C Sib s In answer to the inquiries contained in your J note, just received, I beg to submit the following statement: • Congress; for the Hist time since the otgant zation of tire government, has expired without hiving made appropriations furl ho sea-vice of the Post Office Department during the next fis cal year," which will commence on the Ist of July. Had the members of the next Congress been elected from ail 'the Stales, the President might on the 4th of March have-called an extra session, and this omission of the late Congress .might been t^us 'supplied. This was, however, impossible, without disfranchising the people of nearly half the States of the Union which had not" clewed members. At that date thel-o were fifteen States without representatives.— New Hampshire has since elutted : Rhode Is land. and Connecticut will elect in tlie beginnii-g of April. Oregon in the beginning'' of -June; Virginia on the fourth Thursday, of May; Ken tucky, Alabama, Notih Carolina, and Texas in the beginning of August; California early in September; Georgia, Mississippi.jand Minne sota in (ho beginning of October; and Louisiana and Maryland not until the first Monday and Wednesday in November. Tins is most unfor tunate. There ought to be no interval when a full Congress could not be,convened, and it is to be hoped that there never will he one here, alter, v. . Had the appropriation Hill,«failed, made provision only loathe fiscal year, commencing oh the Ist of. July next, there would obviously have been no necessity for an extra session.— The first quarterly service of contractors fbr that year will not have been performed, so as to en title them to pay, until the first of October; and by the terras of .their contracts —those lor rail road routes' ■'only excepted-sixty days more ninStjetapsio before their accounts can bo finally postpones the day of payment till the Ist of December,avithin, less* than a week from the, tegular meeting of Congress. If it should bo deemed advisable. Congress,might be convened for the middle of November, in ample time to provide for the payment of what will be due contractors for the first, quarter's service of tho. next fiscal year, before it will be, fact payable; This statement makes U manifest, therefore; that had the appropriations proposed in tho bill which, failed beep intended to nice! only tho liabilities of the next fiscal year there woUldJaavc been no sufficient reason for calling Congress together beloie the regular period of its assembling. Such, however, is not the case. TlnU bill al so provided ‘‘that the sum. of §3.838,728 bo 3 and the same is hereby appropriated, but of any money in. the treasury nut otherwise appropria ted, to supply’ the revenues of the Post Office Department for the year ending the 30th bt June, 1859.” Upon a careful exami nation and investigafion.it has been ascertained that the deficiency will amount to about the sum of *95. It ought,, however, to bo observed that, after the 80th of June next, the snnKof-$700.000 granted to the department by tho acts of March 3d, 1849. amJ-March 3d, 1831, for tho transportation and delivery of free moil matter for Congress and the executive de partments tuny be applied in part to the extin guishment of'this deficiency. This will leave the balance, to bo provided for $3,685,281 95. — Of this sura of/ $4,385,281 *95, the deficiency which existed In the quarter ending on the 31st December ‘amounted., to ’5749 841 68 That for the quarter ending 81 «t March to ■ That for the quarter ending 30th June to The $740,841 63—being'tho . unpaid balance of the quarter'** liabilities closing 81st Decem ber, and piiyablq 28th February—can and will be paid by thju department within frixi.y days from this "date • (he payment of the .principal part .of it will be made witbin tliirly days. The effect of this will be to divide the entire deficit of $4,385,281 95 .between' : the quarters ending 31st March and 30tb June, and payable 81 of May, and Slat August, so Unit , the .suspension of payment on imit of-tbis Indebtedness tv ill esc-, ceed, beTontl a few,days;.nix months before the reg\\ii®Sfo«iiiig - of* Congress; on nearly bno natf Jfiim--^saspon»loji’wiu bu>but fcj* a i few days r I', it is a grievous niisfortune to the contractors' (bat the. Department has been left without the means of. discharging this debt at its maturity. Under .existing 1 circumstances, however, it would be impossible to convene Congress in time to meet these responsibilities, without vir tually excluding .from that body the representa tives of several of the sovereign States of this confederated government. This wo’uljl bo a just cause of seilons complaint. . f Tlie*chmco of the President has ,been un doubtedly a choice between grout evils ; but in his judgment, tho lesser,evil would be to wait until the' first Monday, of December, when Con* grosswill.full. The debts due, and to become due to the con tractors, are of a sacred character. The con tracts, out of which these debts arise - , have been entered Into under the express authority of ex isting laws of Congress. To appropriate money for. their payment is as obligatory and binding upon Congress as it is to provide for the’ princi pal and interest of the nationals debt,- There never will be—and there never can be—a repu diation of this debt by the representatives of the American people. After tlio amount duo to each contractor sh/ill have been ascertained and finally settled according to law. this amount be comes a.specific debt of record against the Uni ted States; its paymgpt. is inevitable, and if the contractor desires to borrow money upon it the lender, could have no better security f Be sides, as Congress are in default for not having made an appropriation to moot this debt, it would bo no mure than strict justice for them to provide for the payment of interest on those ac counts from the time of their final adjustment by the accounting officers of the department, and when a warrant would have been’isshed for their payment had an appropriation been made. This interest, excluding from view that of the s<49,< 841 now In the course of payment, and applying on the Ist Julv, to the extinguishment of the principal,*lho $700,000 for free matter, which will, then bo available—should Congress think proper to allow it, would amount to loss than sum not to be compared with the groat difficulties and embarrassments of a public and private character which would result from holding a special session of Congress, to say nothing of the expense that would necessarily be incurred, even though tho members should receive no additional pay. ‘ A system (if retrenchment, so far hs it may be practicable ‘under existing laws, la now ah Im perative duty in tho administration of the do partment. ; By. the act approved June 14, 1858 t Congress established six hundred and ninety five new post rentes; the service of which—in eluding the st.
