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.

singing of the robins and blue-birds.

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 \

The Philadelphia Argus, in .yp
nopsis of the repm-t of the Secre'farj- oflihe

country; makes the following judicious remarks,
which will well repay an attentive perusal:
“ Eourieen .hundred and! seventy-six iucorpora ;

within our recollection there were scarce a hun
dred and fifty. Well may it be asked, -whith

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 .- '

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

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

has given birth to five lambs within the space
of eleven months. The first time she gave birth
to three, and the second time to two young
ones, all of which-lived. -By the tithe the first
were cite year old, the number of young had
increased to nine.
sy*'The counterfeiters, .for want of bigger
game, have pul' in circulation a lot of bogus
three cent pieces, which have. no milled edge;

On the reverse side of the coin the star is very
badly executed, the points being almost routir

as in the genuine.
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.

The Spring Trade. — The Philadelphia Ga

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

years, although he was considered harmless un

To BE Remembered.— The large majority of
those whei voted lor the exceedingly moderate
resolution of approbation of Governor Packer’s

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-,

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. Paul’s and Puget Sound route,
established In March. 1855. and not yot put into
1 operation-Kit has been estimated would require
1 an annual appropriation from the treasury of
$004,088, over and above tho receipts accruing
lliorefrorm Not a .dollar, however, has been
appropriated for this purpose, and as a necon.
’ sary result, the contracts for (hose routes, though
-! they have been advertised and proposals recei
. ved. cannot be closed until the necessary funds
shall have been provided for.
