Where bp they Come .From.— We notice of late in our midst any quantity of bapli notes purporting to be the issue of the Central Bank of Pennsylvania,, at Ilollidaysburg. We know nothing of the responsibility of this bank, but feel it a duty tb caution our people against re ceiving too much of its paper. It was one of the batch chartered .during the last year of Gov. .Pollock’s administration, and no doubt, like the,others, is a fradultqit concern. flow its pa per has got into this county, we know not, but it is here in quantities, which of itself is a bad symptom. :■ - Ttas First of May,—Fickle, tearful, ill-na tured April died out on Saturday night, and blooming loving Way made her advent on Sun day. It was a serene and beautiful day, and the thousands of feathered songsters warbled their sweetest songs in giving welcome to the "fldwer-crowned goddess of the season. Thus far May has more than sustained her character for loveliness,. Nature in the fields is beautiful to gaze upon—the half blown flowers,' budding trees, waving grain and verdant sward forming a scene most picturesque and pleasant. Wel come, then, glorious smiling May: Now bursts the song from every leafy glade,. The yielding season’s bridal serenade; Then flash the wings returning summer calls ; Through the deep arches of her forest halls: -The blue-bird breathing from his azure,plumes Tne 'fragrance ■ borrowed' where the myrtle blooms. The thrush, poor wanderer, dropping meekly down, . Clad in his remnant of autumnal brown ; The oriole, driving like a Hake of fire Bent by the whirlwind, from a blazing spire. The robin, jerking bis spasmodic throat, Bepeats staccato, his peremptory note ; The crack-brain boblink courts his crazy mate. Poised bn a bulrush, tipsy with his weight : Now, jn his cage, the lone canary sings; Feels the soft air and spreads his idle wings. Thus to my heart its wonted tides return, "When sullen winter breaks his crystal urn, And o'er the turf in wild profusion showers Its dewy leaflets and ambi osial flowers. -.ln vacant rapture for a while I range Through the wide scene of universal change, ■ Till, aa the statue in its nerves'of stone Each long closed mist finds its distinct ray Through the dark curtain Spring has rent away. 1 - ’ Ilchish the buds the clusteiing lilacs bear— The same sweet (ragrance that I loved is there— The same fresh hues each opening disc reveals— Soft as ofold each silken petal feels : ■The birch's rind its flavor still retains, Its boughs' still ringing with the self same strains; Above, around, rekindling nature claims Htr glorious altars wreathed in jiving flames ; Undimmed, unshadowed,-far as morning shines, Feeds with fresh incest her eternal shrines. Lost in her arms her burning life I share, Breathe the wild freedom of her perfumed air; From Heaven's fair face the lorigdrawn shadows And all its sunshine floods my opening sotfl ! That 'Wmsicr Found.— We understand that the long.talked-of-cflort to procure that bottle of whiskey, said to have been deposited nt the laying of the foundation at the corner of Walnut and Second, has at length been success ful. ' It was found in the foundation, the bot tle containing., it being it largo black one, hol ding about a quart. But little of it had evapo rated. There is not a person living who can tell the history of this matter—no one who saw it deposited, or who has-had a correct version of it from tradition. Even the “ Annals of Har nsbug” fail to enlighten us with reference toil, and wo are only left to conjecture. • Harrisburg Union. The bottle of whisky spoken of above was deposited in the corner stone of the old building, corner of Walnut arid Second streets. Harris burg* some-eighty years ago.

S. u UNITED WE STAND-DIVIDED W 6 FALL ” counsel hJrmony! Isfeyer before, in the. history of our glorious party, orol our country, havo such perils beset us ; and never before has brir hope, lor the triumph o( constitutional lib erty, on this contirionL and llirough the instru mentality of our existing Union, rested so abso lutely bn the Democratic parly. , The great is sues of 1860 are made up. They nro issues of life and death. If (be Democratic party goosto pieces now, under the weight of the Black Re publican wave, all will bo lost. Let, therefore, our friends everywhere bury their feuds, (orgut personal animosities,, follow Virginia in her inarch to triumph,.and sustain her as she boars the flag of the Constitution to the heights of the enemy’s ramparts. Wc take the above extract from tlio Ricb tnond (Va.) Enquirer, of a recent date. .Short ns is the extract, it contains enough for serious reflection. Lot ns—we mean Democrats—stop and reflect. Let ns, before' we act, give the subject of our difficulties, North and South, serious consideration, and acting the part o( patriots, do all in our power to heal dissentions and bury feuds. To be successful in 1860, it is absolutely necessary that.Demoerafs should act in harmony and pui.l together. A divided house cannot stand, nor, can a politics’ll parly, no matter how strong it may bo, expect to succeed without union and harmony. We, therefore, join the Enquirer, .and “ counsel harmony.”~ Uarmony.wo must have, or defeat is inevitable. Braggarts'may bluster and misrepresent as much as they please, but this will not avail in the day of trial—it will not save the party frbra humili ating defeat. Lot wise councils prevail, then, and all will be well, and the old Democratic party—the party of Hie people—will again tri umph, and our Country continue to grow strong and'powerful under Democratic auspices. The Opposition never have and never can sncteed : except through dissentions in tho'Dc mocralic ranks. Measures and principles they have none* nor do they even, dare assume a name. Like a band of out-laws, they deny tlio various names by which they were formerly known, in the vain hope of covering up their former misdoings and’ unpopular acts. They now expect to gain power, not because tlioy ad vocate a single 1 popular principle, but because there are bickerings and .dissentions in the De mocratic ranks. Let us disappoint them. ■ Lot Democrats reflect arid then ac,t. Let them con sider the injury that would inevitably ensue to the Country should onr utterly unprincipled op ponents—the Know-Nothings, Black Republi cans arid Disunionisis —succeed in gaining con trol of the: Government. Let orir friends con sider that our country is still in its infancy, and that it has been made what it is. through the agency of the Democratic party. To make it still greater, stronger, and more powerful, it must be retained in Democratic hands, and its foreign and domestic policy administered in ac cordance with Democratic principles. Let De mocrats,wo say, think of these thing’s, and they will, we feel sure, agree to .unite their forces to secure the country against the disasters that threaten it. “We counsel harmony !” Douglas Repudiates Them, Judge Douglas’s national organ. The Stales,. at Washington, comes out unequivocally arid boldly in opposition to the recent movement .of the Forney-Lauman Sectaries against the esta blished usages and organization of the Demo cratic party, and virtually repudiates them. This is a significant circumstance, and places the desperate faction in This State, who-have hitherto professed to be the peculiar friends of Douglas,in a very awkward position." IfDbti glas repudiates them, where are they to go, ex-, oept to Seward and* Black , Republicanism, as" The Slates predicts. Here is what it says : ‘•We disapprove (he movement, because it has the warrant neither of policy rior usage, and if permitted to pass without rebuke, will in volve the disorganization and defeat of the Democratic party. Again ;—-If” the organiza tion of the party become corrupt Or perverse, it is the duty of all true Democrats to reform its abuses and correct its policy. The idea that a malcontent may have recourse to se-l cession on any pretext of passion or of princi-1 pie, is plainly incompatible with all the condi tions of political association. ■ ‘•There is, however, another and still more fatal objection to this independent organization in Pennsylvania—we’mean the ambiguity of its" professions and the uncertainly of its object. Perhaps the Democracy would have demanded an explanation in neither of these respects, if Mr. Hickman's speech iri the Convention, tho’ out of harmony .with the temper of its resolu tions, had not exposed the movement to the suspicion of a Black Republican tendency “lie avowed the treasonable doctrine of Sew ard in the most.explicit and emphatic language, and the declaration was received with the warm est applause. Now what are we to infer from this incident ? Must wo jhepare for an eventu al alliance .between the Black Republicans and these dissentient Democrats of Pennsylvania ? What is the purpose of Mr. Forney and his friends ? Do they meditate aposlacy to the Opposition ? or are they resolved to adhere in good faith to the Democratic party ? Do they pledge themselves to support the nominees of the Charleston Convention ? In the name of the Democracy of the Union, we respectfully entreat a reply to these inquiries.” Forney, we believe, attempted a reply, but so far from its being satisfactory to The States, it has only confirmed it in its original suspicions; and it thus disposes of the affair, by anticipa ting the inevitable end to which the leaders of this rebellion arc hastening : “It is plain to bur apprehension that the movement, of which Mr. Fornqy is the leader, is a premeditated and irreparable revolt against the democratic organization. It is equally ob vious that, no matter what may bo the present intentions of these persons, they will fall by irresistible gravitation into the bosom of the Black Republican parly.” For the Volunteer. Mr. Editor—'We ask o( you tb give this com. munication a place in the columns of your pa per ; The “ Wharf”.or lower end of onr town, hue for a long time been the subject of general conversation among somo'people of our Bo rough, more espociailythal part confined to the precints of “ Gay Louther,” Now, wo will not deny that the morals o f some of our citizens arc such, (hat a general notice of their actions may .not-he amiss; butwo hope, at least, that those who may attempt to criticise thereon, or reform tiro same, may practice (he example they preach. Generally, when the young men of the “inland” part of our town become intoxicated, they have very strong inclinations to visit Louther street, and recognize some of their “ old acquaint ances,” or practice such rowdyism as they may please, thinking their notions will bo kept hid from the public, or the blame be attached to those living in that neighborhood. Now; we don’t want to commence “ locali zing” for any paper of our Borough, but to those young gentlemen we wili givo a word ol caution. If you don’t preserve your equilibrium and kcop your “ optica” open that you may steer « clear of the coast,” we’ll have to lot some of your actions be known to the public. If you can’t come irito that part of our town in a quiet and orderly way, we don’t want you to come dis turbing our slumbers by making “night hideous with your bachanalian revelries.” If this is pot sufficient to prevent such conduct in future, you will boar more from an inhabitant of East,Louther. Tempting. —Our Texas exchanges are talking of dishes of Strawberries and cream, and “ corn waiting brsast high.” Important From Mexico. The steamer Tennessee,. at New Orleans, brings advices from the City of Mexico to tlio 19tlp and from Vera Cruz to tiio 22d. So far as wo can judge from the brief telegraphic dis patch, (bo wheel of fortune lias taken another turn. Mirampri is back in the capital, which lie reached on tlio 11th. What has become of tlio besieging forces the dispatch docs riot say. It speaks of him, however, as the victorious Ge neral, whence we conclude that ho has probably driven them off. It. also accuses him ol mur dering peaceable foreigners indiscriminately, which is not very prohpble. Ho has protested against onr recognition ol the Juarez Govern, ment, and has revoked the exequatur of Mr. Black, Consul General, and sent him out of the count rv. Meanwhile, Vera Crnz, though it escaped Mi ramon, is threatened with attack from.’another, and a more Serious quarter;. The British Min ister, has demanded a million and.a half of dol lars from the Custom House in satisfaction of English claims, and threatens a bombardment if it is not paid. Just now both (ho two rival Pre sidents would seem to have their hands full.

If the,governing principles oi their Order could become universal, II bonevor fence, charity, and good-will, could influence every heart, and .hallow every, home—if want everywhere could bo relieved, distress allevia ted—if when the rude blasts of adversity over- I fakes us, we could bo certain of kind hearts anil j willing bauds to support and relievo, how differ | cut the world would be. We need more such J lessons as Odd Fellowship inculcates relative to fraternity and good fellowship. Wo need more dovotodness to the improvement and elevation of humanity, and in promoting the happiness and well-being of the race.. Froji California— The steamship Northern Light arrived at New York on Saturday with 675 California passengers, viaPanamaEailrdad. She left Aspinwall on the 21-st.ultimo. Onthe evening of the, 17thj during the customary pro cession of Palm Sunday, there was a riot at Pa nama between (he natives who icside within the city and the blacks who live without the walls, in which two or three weie killed and several severely wounded. The military were called out, and were under orders all night!' The United States consul signalized the men-of-war ip the harbor, and Commodore Long sent seve ral armed boats, with three hundred men, to. protect the American residents, but their servi ces were not required, and they returned on board at day-t^ht. ' lY?' The difficulties in Utah have broken out afresh', the judges of the federal courts, having been unable to administer justice in consequence of the Mormons in the Grand Jury having re fused to present any indictments against parties charged with murder and other crimes, have been compelled to discharge their prisoners and the jury also. The judges charge the Mormons with obstructing the officers of the court, sup pressing testimony, and refusing to mako,provi sion for the confinement and maintenance of the prisoners. Governor Gumming has issued a proclamation aiding with the Mormons. Ge neral Johnson takes part with the judges against (he Governor, and things look gloomy and.por tentous. . Juaon Fined. —Mr. Samuel R. Ellis, of Potts town, summoned as a Jnror in the U. S. Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, was fined S5O by Judge Cadwalader, last week, for expressing an opinion after having been ompan. nellod as a.juror. The case on trial was that of Judge Vonderainith, of Lancaster county, for committing pension .frauds. The circumstances are thus reported in the Philadelphia Press : “ Mr. Ellis asked to,bo excused from serving as a iiiror on tho case, as ho had expressed an opinion. Tho judge asked him how long since he had expressed tho opinion, when ho replied about a weflk .ago, and since lie-bad been put upon tho panel of jurors.’ Ho therefore asked to be excused. Tho judge directed tho clerk to mark tho juror excused, and also mark him fined $5O for expressing ills opinion publicly about a case which he was ompannolied to try.” Death of M. De Tooooeville.— The London Times announces tho death of tho distinguished author of Democracy in America; an event for which previous reports of his rapidly declining health has prepared us.

Odd Fellows' Ceiafralion at Mcclmnicsburg. Early oh tlic day announced ns the day in which to celebrate and commctnorato the for tieth Anniversary of. Odd Fellowship! in this country, numbers 01. persons poured inib town to witness the brilliant pageant. And first, the early'western train brought a number ol mem bers of the Order front Carlisle, who were tnct by a committee appointed to receive them, af teb which the eastern train brought a do'cgalion from Ilarrisburg,"jvhich was escorted to the Odd Fellows’ Hull, by the Keystone 'Cornet Band. After an additional hour or so, the Band 'and Washington Fire Company made their appearance’on the “ Square," and there, by marching and couutei marching of the Fire Company, and bri liatil playing of the Band, the public was kept in good glee for another hour, when, at .10-o'clock, ns previously pub lished. the Order came down from their Hall to the “ Square,” and formed for the parade.— After the whole procession had marched and countermarched on the “ Square.”-it proceeded out North Market street, amt literally followed the route licretofore made known in pur paper. Thp show was decidedly good, and the process ion was sufficiently large to give brilliancy and cast to the movement. There wire upwards of one hundred and fifty in procession, and none of thenveilizens, or we might say outsiders. Having afrived-jat the end of the route laid out, the procession entered the Methodist church, (he place selected for delivering the Ad dress. The exercises were opened With the rea ding of a chapter in the Scriptures, by Rev. H. Spule, (olloWed with prayer by Rev. P. Ma cartney. Rev, D: Hartman, the speaker selec ted for the occasion, then arose and delivered an address of over an hour’s length, which was listened to with Jeep interest by all present.— The Address was delivered in Mr. Hartman’s usual pleasant and style, and abounded in liehagems of thought and beauty : of,illustration. The speaker won new laurels for himself, and did much for the-elevation of Odd Fellowship lit tbe-estimation of those'who were prejudiced against it from different causes. Wo noticed an cnllrc absence of ladies from the church.on this occasion, but learn this Whs from a misunderstanding ; the greater part of them thinking that-they were to be excluded from hearing the! lecture, which was not the case,ample arrangements having been made for their comfurt-nnd convenience. 008 41,119 3,071 392 5,054 $80,105 12 When the western train arrived, the Harris burg delegation was escorted to the cars, and mind the cheers, of-the Hand, left with many good wishes following 1 them. The day had. been fair, until within a short time of this, the last stage of the proceedings : now ,the rain fell copiously, but the Firemen determined to have the day out,-marched and cpimterma.rchcd oh Main street for’nn hour or more. In the evening.'the splendid Hall of the Odd Fellows was brilliantly illuminated and thrown open.to visitors; with whom tl was thronged.— The two bands in attendance contributed very materially to the enjoyments of the.cvcning by the sweet music which they discoursed on tnaf occasion.

Y. iKEnr.iATK Asylum.— The trustees of the New York Inebriate Asylum have issued an appeal to the,churclics'of the United States, and the American public, for assistance. - Some of the statemepts arc most startling, as for ex ample, the following ; Who can doubt the importance of such ,an asylum when, before its first story is comple ted, applications have been made for admit tance, many' of vyhich are from patients them selves? Among the'applicants are twenty? eight clergy men,*ihirty-six physicians, forty two lawyers, three judges, twelve editors, four army and three naval officers, one hundred and seventy-nine merchants, fifiy-five farmers, live . hundred and fifteen mechanics, and four hun dred and ten wnicn, who are from the" high walks Of life. Oulhc vocation of the remaining applicants wo hajSaio knowledge! . WiU)id the W York has lost by death two of .her Supreme Court j edges, and one ofTier,county Judges, all of whom died by inebriety, and all yf whom were applicants for admission to this'asyluin. Among the merchants who have applied for admission, I know of no one more melancholy than the following,: This gentleman policed from business about seven years singe, with a fortune of seven hun dred thousand dollars.. Having been .accus tomed to a great amount of mental excitement, incident to a largo , business, he became much depressed in the retirement of a private life and resorted .to alcoholic stimulants, to restore the wonted physical anti mental condition of the system. Thereby y-as produced- this' disease, which consigned this once useful man to a pro mature grave. 1 . Within three 3’cars there have been two ap: plicants for admission- to this asylum, who af terwards committed suicide while laboring un der the delirium tremens. One of these was an officer in the United'. States, navy, who distin-, guished himself in-the war with Mexico.' >v '’'These facts are designed- to show necessi ty'of an, asylum adapted to the'control, treat ment, and cure of a.diseased appetite.' Then follow statements of another character to prove the feasibility of the undertaking, from a nar rative of individual cures of inebriety effected in some asylums—concluding Vith' the assertion that more than one Hundred'cases of this de scription might be mentioned.. Intemperance in ' Maotiira.—The lion. James 0. Putnam, ih a recent letter, makes the following statement: When in' the Island of Madeira. I saw a few cases of intoxication among the poorer people. And I had from a nine years resident clergyman this explanation:—That- before the failure of the wine crop in Madeira,-(formerly the. annual yield was about 15,000 pipes of wine, now Bve dr six hundred,;(ihereAvas scarce any drunken ness on the Island, but the- failure had placed wine beyond the. reach of the poor,.they now cultivated thesngar cane, from which was.man-; ufactured a sirong spirit now in common use; and the result was'drunkenness had. appeared as the wine disappeared. , The above is important,, if .true, as well in a social as moral point of view. Is it a fact that the winegrowing countries of the world are among the most temperate? And, if so, is-not the subject entitled to more than ordinary con sideration at the handsof the enlightened and judicious friends of temperance? We have heard it asserted as a fixed truth .that drun kenness is uncommon were wine is plentiful, and,remember very well that it has been stated that when the fountains of Paris were filled with wine, instead of water, during the fetes of the first Napoleon, no Frenchman was seen in a state of intoxication. ' Bv” It is said that a lamplighter in Easton rides on horseback while going his rounds to light and extinguish the lamps.

Trouble among the Marmons —The Judiciary p Baffled— The Quarrel of Gou. Camming arid , , Gen. Johnston. . Great Sat.t LAkb Cur, April 2.—There is ” great excitement existing in this Territory, and t things.are in a worse condition, even, than they . ever have been before or after tlio advent of the ; army. In plain words, and to give you some , idea of affairs hero, the feeling has reached the , culminating point, and we arc on'the very eve ’ of .open' hubtilftieS. This has been brought . about by the firm and manly stand of the two judges of the United States District Court, • Sinclair and Gfadlebaugb, who, in their endoa . VorS to ferret out the numerous murdcjrs that , have been committed, have excited the appre hensions of the Mormons who have done all in their power to prevent it. The reason for this is obvious : a full investigation might implicate some of Hie leading mou in the church, or, at all events, show that these dreadful outrages wore committed by the authority of the church. Mormon Grand Juries have failed to present in dictments for these bloody deeds, although their attention was especially called to Them by the Judges, and even when they did find a bill for an offence of an inferior grade. Mormon juries would acquit. The great theatre of strife and which has ra diated throughout the .whole Territory, is at Provo, about forty miles distant from this city, where Judge Gradlebaugh is trying to hold Court, I say trying, for, although he has been silting now nearly a month, nothing has been done. The.bishops.of the church, and many of the people have fled, their consciences probably suggesting the propriety of such a course.— Judge Gradlebaugh, seeing the manifestations when be opened his court, made a requisition upon General Johnston for a company of troops to guard prisoners and protect the llvbs of wit nesses which bad been threatened. To this re quisition. General Johnston promptly respond ed, amj they have bcca.Uierc ever since. This safeguard lo the court, witnesses and prisoners, has aroused the indignation of all Mormoridom, and they talk-“big.” ■ An appeal was made to Governor Gumming, under the impression that be could have them removed, and forthwith a solemn protest is is sued, protesting against the -presence of the troops. The Governor has been down to Proyo, a few days since, and While there wrote a jotter to General. Johnston: requesting him to with draw them or remove them lo a greater dis tance from the city. General Johnston de clined to inleiTere in the matter,, and stated that the troops were There under a. requisition from Judge Gradlebaugh, and were subject to his orders. This was a •‘stunner.” As theex citcment increased, and threats of the militia and people rising tb.expel the troops,General Johnston sent up nine additional companies on his own hook, in case of an outbreak, to pro tect the company which was there by order of the Court, and they camped.six miles distant.. Within the last few days, however, things have assumed such an attitude that jt was deemed prudent to remove them three miles nearer. Should there be a Collision, look out for ‘'‘tall limber..” Denying their Identity.—The Opposition to the Democracy in order to .escape responsi bility for- the past, is obliged to continually change its name.. The campaign next fall, in this State.it appears is to be fought by the •‘People’s Party” against the Democrats. This denying their own designation reminds us of the pious old darkey, the burden of whose prayer was that “de Lord’d come and take poor Cresar’s soul to licbbcn.” One night, just before retiring, he was startled by a'liiiofek at liis cabin door. , “Who's dar?” he’callcd I ■out. “The Lord,” was the response, in a sop : ulchrai tone. “What do de Lord: want,” be trembling asked. “Wants Cocsar’a §oii],” broke on; the solemn. stillness. Pop went the light, and under the bed went the bumble-pe titioner, exclaiming, “No snob niggah here, sab !—been dead dese tree weeks.” Mexico.—The New York Sun, in an article on the present state of Mexico, trusts that the United Slates will interpose in behalf of that distracted country, and closes in behalf of the Liberals thus: “They appeal to us as brothers, and their appeal we cannot disredard. It is our interest, as well as our duty, to protect them from European intrigue and European dictation, and we do most sincerely hope that our Government will now pursue a bold policy, and proclaim that it will protect republican government in Mexico.” DCT” It appears very evident that an organ-, ized movement of some kind is in progress in ,the TJnited States in reference to Cuba. / The Pittsburg Post, of a late date, says:—“We understand that withm the last week three par ties have passed through this city on their way South, thoroughly organized and provided with all the essentials for “emigration”--riflps, re volvers, etc. One of the detachments was com posed entirely of Cubans.” O” Information has been received at Easton that the body of Mr. Yeager, whose recent strange .disappearance we have already men tioned, was found On the 16th inst.; in the Ohio river, just below Pittsburg.

The news ran like wildfire through tho city, and from all sides crowds wore hurrying up to tho same point.— The excitement was as intense as it was instan taneous. As he stepped down the stone stairs of tho City Hall, surrounded and supported by bis im mediate personal friends, ho was enthusiastical ly cheered. Calls were made for a speech.— With considerable exertion, for ho was fast beco ming faint, ho was got into one of the numerous carriages in wailing. In the same carriage wore Messrs. Graham, Wiley, and Brown, of Now Y'ork. A movement was made by the crowd to fake the horses oiit of tho carriage, and to draw it themselves, but tho movement was detected in time, and prevented. “ Finally, tho carriage drove away, followed by mfiny others, and by an immense crowd.
