With the present number of our paper we .commence a new volume. Fourteen years have elapsed since our purchase of the Volunteer.— Forty-five years ago it was first given to the world by its venerable founder, James Under-, wood, Esq. We therefore embrace the present opportunity of returning pur sincere thanks to bur large list of patrons, for the substantial support they have extended us.. • When, fourteen years since, we purchased this paper, we came here a stranger to the peo ple of Cumberland county. It wasnol without some •misgivings, we are free to say, that we assumed'the control ol the Volunteer —a paper thit hed become identified with the Democracy of. Cumberland county, and, from its age and character,' commanded ■ the respect and confi dence of all. Bht then we fell that we were among friends, who; with willing hearts, are eyef ready, with a generous pride, to rally round ’ standard" sheet of Democracy, This feeling gave us confidence, and'wc are proud,'to say now? at the-end of fourteen years, that our'eon -fidence was not.misplaced. Oiir most sanguine expectations have been realized—and- the rapid increase of patronage has been such as to war rant ns in the belief that the manner in which the Volunteer has been conducted- by us, has met, and still meets, the decided approbation of the Democracy of Old Cumberland—the confi* dence of whom, hereafter as heretofore, if shall everife-onr greatest pride and ambition to re tainMchowing-, as we do. and ns all past expe rience has shown, that the people, of. whom the Democracy is composed, never can go wrong. A\ith these brief remarks we return our sin cere thunks to the public’ and the Democratic party, for the very liberal support which has thns -fa'f Wen extended to-us, and assure our friends that we shall endeavor to make the Vcl. unteer mpfe interesting than it has ever yet been ; and by increased assiduity, we hope to render it such a vehicle of intelligence, as will give-satisfaction to all who may favor it with their patronage; Tlakd at' Work,— Our agricultural friends ,i» this county are now hard at work in cutting and gathering their hay and barley. They have a biavjr job'before them, (hr the crops of the entire valley present a most encouraging ap pearance. . The yield, it is estimated by many, wilfbe nearly than last year, and'of 'the very, beat quality. If (he prices of grain'continue anything near what they now are, our farmers will make their "eternal for tunes” from the produce of this year; Well, although it's a little hard on us town folks to pay §7,50 for a barrel of hour, still we like to seethe honest tiller of the ground receive a good recompense for his labor, for when he prospers money becomes plenty.and all kinds of busings takos.a start for the-belter. i iThe Candidates of the Opposition. The Philadelphia Jlrgm says (he Republicans of Pennsylvania, under the alias of the “ Peo ple’s party,” hold <i State'Convention at Harris, burg, on the Blh, and nominated Thomas SE. Cochrane, of Tork,’ for Auditor General, Qen. Wm. H. Kelm, of Reading, for Surveyor Gene ral, and adopted a series of resolutions. The candidates chosen 1 are well known to .the people of the Slate, and in duo 'time wo shall pay our respects to them in a proper manner. At pre sent it is only necessary to say that Thomas E. Cochrane was tlio fusion candidate for Canal Commissioner in 1856, and was defeated by a very handsome majoßly by Mr. Goo. Scott, the- Democratic nominee. Ho has passed through as many changes as a butterfly, and. has' enter, ged at length a fill! winged .office seeker, ready to fake -a nomination from any parly and to stand upon any platform, Mr. Cochrane Was the President of the last Whig Slate ConVen. tion that over assembled ,in Pennsylvania, that at Harrisburg In the early pari ,bf 1855, and when lie sat above the lingering remnants of that once proud organization, ho bad no love for the up-springing fungus of Know-Nothing ism. Tho year following lie became the candi date of that party, as well as ol the Republi cans, for an important office, and after his igno. minions defeat, rotiredinloau editorial sanctum .Where bo brooded over bis woes and Vented bis sploon at-the Democracy. - Now ho is again upon the surface as a nominee of the “People’s party,” and will be thankful for the votes of all tho odds and ends composing that bermaphio dltic political organization. Mr. Cochrane may well be described as a-politician who is “every thing by turns and nothing long.” General Koim isbottor known'as a summer warrior than as a'politician. Ho is a courteous and pleasant gentleman, but hlghoito his victo ries have been achieved'amid the pomp and cir cumstance of militia musters, with the star spangled banner proudly floating over the ‘tinsel and feathers which gave glory to the scene. Wo are unable to class him exactly, but believe he, tod, was once a Whig, , then a , Know-Nothing, next a Republican, and now a “ People’s” man. These two men form the ticket of the Opposi. tion party,and Caleb Quotum himself could not present .more requisites for the positions they occupy. In another part of this paper wo print ,the.re solutions of the Convention. Their principal merit consists in their non-committal charac ter.. The. substance they possess is opposition to the President,Tiis Administration, and to the Democratic, party, and this is surrounded by a Stereotyped border composed of protective hum bug and Abolition cant. - There is nothing hon est or manly about them, but on the contrary they are as miserable a set of’wishy-washy, non sense as ever were presented to a sensible peo ple. The bait hdM out to the Americans is as cooly impudent as the Republicans could well make it. There is no endorsement, of the great principles once proclaimed by the disciples of “Sam,” but tbe tub thrown lb that whale isj simjdy labelled “no importation of foreign criminals.” Even the Abolitionists of Ohio ■' were more liberal to their Know-Nothing brefh . J ren than were the Republicans of P«nnig-JvMjsa % But perhaps the. iuaiicdesi cnl of era was ad- I minisleted by ibe.COtiTialifmJo'Seuator'Ciame ron.

The immediate occasion for its col lapse was a draft of only $3OOO or $4OOO from' Drexcl & Co., of this city. Giber parties here, we understand, hold a considerable amount of their notes. ■ The managers, though closing their doors on Friday last,-have as yet made no statement of their cSHdiiion. Philadelphia Argus. This is the, bank,-our readers'will recollect, that we cautioned them against in our paper a few weeks ago. At that time the paper of this bogus concern was being circulated here quite extensively. Oiir timely caution; we doubt not, has been the means of saving thousands of dollars to our people; Its paper went out of circulation hereabout as fdstas-it had been pul in, and we think there is very little of ititvour county now. DZ7” “ We would suggest, to the Volunteer the propriety of a calm retrospection of the elections which have been held for the last twelve months —including nigger breeding Virginia,” One of the greatest “ nigger breeders” in Vir ginia is Goggin, the defeated Know-Nothing candidate for Governor. The Democratic can didate, Letcher, who has been elected by 6000 majority, never owned a slave in his life, and says he never will own one. It well becomes tne American, therefore, to sneer at the Old Do minion ns “ nigger-breeding Virginia.” Tour party men are the “ nigger-breeders.” not only m Virginia, bat in all Southern States. Here in the North, however, the pour followers of ab olitionism—the despised Know-Nothings-are required by their new masters to discard Sam and embrace. Sambo. Truly, the Know-Noth ings of the North have hard task-masters.

That it isamerc,profession—destitute ot every shadow of sincerity—is transparent, When the course of the Republican party on the Tariff question for the past low-years,is consid ered. That party has actually been the oppo- Bent of protection for borne industry; and ntttiis very day in the New England and the North Western, States, where its principal strength lies, it is avowedly and persistently opposed to an increase of duties on imports further than is absolutely necessary to raise revenue for the economical administration of No longer-ago than tbo-past Spring the leading organ of Republicanism In ll(Sfr6ls declared that the cant about.prptectionTiy the members of that party in' Pennsylvania, might dp Very well for election purposes at homo, but Could never be incorporated in the Republican platform. ' But there is another fact bearing Upon this subject yet (tosh in the minds of tho peopjei— In 18S6 the Republicans and Americans'con-, trolled the National IloUso ot Representatives, and their Committee of Ways and Means, of tvhich Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, Was (ho chairman, reported a bill reducing the duties upon iron, coal, wool and other articles of homo production, and this bill was passed .by. Repub lican votes. Such was the actual course pur sued by tho Opposition party when they wore in power, and yet they have the effrontery to proclaim themselves the peculiar Iriehds of pro tection. . The position of the Democratic party of Pchn .. sj’lvanla oh the tariff question is well riuder -1 stood. President Buchanan clearly defined it . in his message of last December, and Hon.

A Common ObcnniiKscE.— The Erie Obstruct notices a case of thoughtless meanness, the counterpart,of which we frequently find in opr own newspaper experience. It jays, afew day* ago, one of onr business.men called opoa ns to notice in our local column, gratis for r-oth \ fog,” at course, a metier connected with a | church in which he is deeply interested, V,'e j . politely informed bits that sre would do to with i I pleasure. After he had left «*, and although an editor’s charity cover* a rnnititude of sins, we could cot but recoiled two facts—drat, that Ibis same gentleman does not take ours, norany other paper .published in the city j and secondly,' that when he wauls any job-work done, lie either goes to another city for It, or employs an itine rant card-printer, who hat no interest In. the city. Now’ the query is, if everybody else did the same, would there bo a paper hero to notice “free gratis for nothing,” either church mat ters, city matters, or any other matters of inte rest which it is absolutely necessary tbe public should know 7 BC/*A correspondent, writing from Munich, Bavaria, states that the Government of Bavaria, though professing neutrality, had ordered all the great lines of railway in the kingdom to be placed at the use of llie Austrian officers for the purpose of conveying an army of forty-five thou sand men to thcscenoof conflict. The advance guard of this force has reached the city, and both officers and men were received with the greatest enthusfaspi—-the ladies throwing them boqncts and the men.crying vivas for Francis Joseph. General Clam-Gallas, Austrian com mander in the Tyrol, had sent his stud of war chargers, consisting of twenty pure blooded, Arabians to Munich. Bavaria excuses herself for this course by asserting that the Austrian army of Bohemia forms part of the force of the German Confederation. tr?".

[XT' A heated schism has taken place in the Opposition ranks of Ohio. There was anything but harmony in thoir recent State Convent ion, and since then a mooting of a portion of that party in Cincinnati adopted resolutions repudi ating the Convention and its nominees! This is “goring the other ox!” Fun ahead! Some author says that-at'twenty-five men marry for love—at thirty-five for beauty and convenience—and at fifty for money. This is well illustrated by the confession of an honest old Dutch tavern-keeper in the lower part of this State. “Yell, you scc.”said he, “the first time I married for love—dat vns goot; den I marries for beauty—dat vas goot, too, about as goot ns de first; dis time I married for money —and dis is better as both.” Tlie Opposition, and the Tariff. Tlio Crops-—lCffects of jhe Frost. tn the midst of the general feeling of satisfatf i tion induced by the unusually promising ap» pearance of the eropsVtltfoughout the United r States, and the prospect for a large foreign de mand for grain, at "high prices, om account of the war in Italy and the disturbed condition of ■ Europe, the blooding fields Were suddenly at tacked by one of the most severe and destructive • frosts ever known at this season. Its cfl'eois ap pear to have been felt in Canada, in all the Nor thern, and fn some of the Soutncrn States. I'he fruit crops have, in many localities, been entire ly destroyed, as well us the stalks of many gar den Vegetables, of potatoes, ami of .corn. In some cases the leaves and the bark of oak trees have been lurried as black as if they had been burned. But, judging from many newspaper extracts which we have noticed, we do nol think that any'very serious injury has been done to the wheat crop. Most of' our exchan ges declare that, if injured at all, the damage is not serious. Others argue that the frost has done enough good, by destroying the weevil and fly; to compensate for all the harm it has done to the wheat'plants. And a correspondent of the New. York Tribune declarcsfhat an old far tue'r of Caledonia, New-Yurk, says “that tilt recent frost has not.injured the Wheat, and ho docs not believe that a May or June frost can injure that plant, lie .states that in 181 G there Was a fate spring frost in Ills scCtioli, by Which the stalks of.

In Dau phin and neighboring counties it is expected the wheat crop Will exceed the aVorligc yield, notwithstanding the frost. In Greene, layette, Mercer, and in the counties surrounding Pitts burg, it is supposed the wheat crop.is slightly, but hot seriously, injured. In Erie county-it is said ,to have been injured to a great extent, Und.it is also fbared lhat it lias been much da maged.in Lawrence and Lycoming Counties. In New Jersey, it is said, the crops have gen. orally escaped unscathed. From New York the reports are conflicting,, but it seems certain that the appearance of the wheat crop-has been much injured, and many fiar that it will not recover. Numerous letters from Ohio slate that the coni is nearly.ail killed, but hopes are expressed that the wheat is not sei iouiflv dam aged. In Michigan, it is thought, the crop has not suffered hcaviiv. In Indiana, it is said, the wheat crop.will not be very great, but better tlian last year. In Illinois anil'Kentucky some damage lias been done to tho'wheat, but it is not considered very .serious. *Tn Savannah, Georgia, new wheat, raised this season, were exhibited on the 10th .May. , Hopes are entertained that even where the cbrii has been 1 cut down, it will, if not injured 100 badly, come up again, and, judging from the numerous accounts before us in-regard to the wheat crop, in vetr of, the- extraordinary yuld anticipated in many quarters which have. totally escapee} injury:, and. the few cases men- tioned where it is at otfcertain that the wheal ; has beta'tJaKwyeiJ,,, there appears to be-no caoae fcrsewteiVfjn in regard to. that ’great staple, and a yield fulSy up' to. if not beyond, the average crop may be confidently nntieijia !td., ’ . ; O* The Forest Divorce case c;yzic tip again on Saturday before.

" A Fiiog in the Stomach Thbee Years,- A.son of Mr. Charles Davis, residing in Gould’s Court, leading to Montgomery, near Light at., says the Baltimore Sun’.of .Friday'last, has caused the family great uneasiness for three years past in consequence of his being subject at times, for hours 'together, to spasms and terrible.(its. "Physicians were consulted, but all their investigations failed to reveal the cause that produced the malady. Yesterday after noon, ahout three o'clock, when entering the house, the lad was seized with the symptoms of his malady, and in a fit of retching, threw up upon the floor a live frog, about two inches in length. The frog hopped gaily about the floor untilsecured by the family. Instant relief was expericpioid by the lad.. His name is William Davis, and he is about ten years of age. He has no recollection of the lime the frog was ta ken into his stomach, but his father thinks it was svyallowed with his drink about three years ago, when he was afflicted with fits.

A Dilemma fob Modest Beaux. —A con temporary relates the adventure of two young gems, who started in a buggy to visit tw;o charming young ladies, a few miles from town ; it seems that.the young ladies referred to, were that evening expecting the arrival of a married sister, who was to .bring a young infant with iter, and as the two gentlemen reached the house, about dark, the ladies seeing the buggy and two persons.in.it, supposed it of course to be the married sister, and both rushed out to the wagon, the foremost, one screaming at the top of her voice, “Give mo the baby, give me the baby.” It is almost needless to say that the modest young men, not understanding the true slate of affairs, wheeled their horse and struck for home in a hurry. “What is Home without a Moinen.”— The Daily News says that While this pathetic ballad was sung at. the academy of music on Saturday afternoon, a gentleman dressed in deep monrning. accompanied by his two little children, was observed to leave bis place in the parqueite circle.

K7* Parson Brownlow, of tho Knoxville expected Goggin to be elected Governor of Virginia, and, in aifticipaiion of tho result, “spread himself” as follows: : “The excitement increases in Virginia daily, and the cause of Goggin gains ground in every part of the State. Wc really begin to count upon liis election. A more gallant, patriotic, and mei iiorious-.man than be never ran for office in tlie Od 1 Dominion. If he shall bo success* ful, we must pull up trees, tear down houses, march in procession in Knoxville, and get on a genetal bust!’’ Brownlow can save bis linen now, and per rail Knoxville to remain in peace. The Riflemen of the Tvuol, —Many of the letters from the seat of war in Italy, note the skill of the Tyrolese riflemen in the .Austrian army. They annoy the French exceedingly, and pick elf men at an almost incredible dis tance, whoie they were considered safe from the reach of even the longest range of small arms at the present day. Retrenchment in the Fost-Offico Department. The statement that the postal revenues, arc defrauded a million'of dollars arinUftlty by forged or false stamps, is entirely unfounded. The,story originated in New Yorker Washing ton, and was no doubt designed to discredit the management of the Post Office Department. Mr. lloi.t perseveres in the ! good work of cur tailing the expenses of the Department, and his rigid economy, while it provokes the sneers of those who, are determined not to recognize his merit, extorts Commendation from the most able minds among the Opposition. JL’lte cor respondent of the Norik American, in referring to the subject soys: In this connection, it is Only p'roper to say that the efforts of Mr. Holt in lopping of . the excrescences which had spread over the postal sefViCe, in reducing useless and extravagant expenditures t in resolving something like or derout of chaos, ahd in removing supernumera ry officers, are entitled to public recognition and cicdit.. Ho entered upon his thankless task, giving at once earnpat of a purpose to in trodu'ce practical and thorough reforms, which have been since illustrated in a most beneficial and satisfactory manner. It certainly does hot become those who have heretofore complained Of the wastefulness in this department to sheer or carp at efforts which alre intended to' introduce a necessary and. whplsome retrenchment. On the contrary, such praiseworthy endeavors should be generously seconded, not only from a sense of justice, but as means of effecting im portant results, at which the upright men of all parlies aim. What encouragement has a public officer to address his abilities and apply laborious investigationdo so large and 'ramified a subject as the errors or abuses which have insidiously crept.into the postal service, unless sustained by the community for whoso benefit they are mainly directed ? The principles an nounced itrMr. Holt’s" letter to the President, in Mr. Westcott’s case, are such as must attract the respect of the country, and help to. restore to the Department the confidence tVhiob has been heretofore-sacrificed by its conversion into a mere machine for promoting political objects or personal ambition. The" whole country is interested in rin Upright and efficient adminis- Iration.of the Post Office, aud nolhing but big oted partisanship, would consent to withhold a full aitd becoming admission of such services, no matter.‘by whom rendered. That small and narrow spirit lias heretofore found no toleration in this correspondence, nOr is likely to do so the future. 51 445 The Republican Gonvcntio»--*lts Nominees ‘ami its Platform. The Harrisburg Sentinel, the organ 'of th c State administration at the seat of Government, thus speaks of the field at that place, by our political adversaries, on Wednes day of last .Week ; “ The opposition State Convention, composed of Know-Nothings, flepublicaths, and the Lord only knows what other factions and fragments of factions, assembled in the Hall-of the House of Representatives, in this place, on Wednesday last, at ten o'clock a. in. The Convention was full, and was as motly an assemblage as ever.congregated here or else where.- The diliercnt factions eyed each other with.jenlousy, and it was evident to all that the attraction oi cohesion was weak, and that, but for the brilliant prospect of enjoying the spoils of ollioe, the different parts would have separa ted. and.the Convention dissolved, in-harmoni ousl}’,, in less .than an lionr. A, party so per fectly Mosaic, composed of so many varieties and colors, cannot, possibly, bo' long-lived. It can have no fixed principles and no fixed name. It is a spoils party merely—nothing else.' It may hang together during'the present cam paign, but it not can act harmoniously during the campaign of 1860. It must, of necessity, always be a sectional, party—it never can be national; and what may btf its name ami its principlesv-or whether it will liars a naiiie.and principles next year, or (ire years hence, no man gifted with leas than prophetic vision can foresee. ; - The resolutions adopted are as mined as was the Convention itself, and were evidently design ed as a catch platform—a sort of a floating raff, upon which' those struggling in the waters of uncertainly might find u-fuge. Many of them we con cordially subscribe to—others we hear tily condemn; but our astonishment is great that a party aiming to be dominant shouldJiave failed to incorporate in its creed a doctrine ad vocated and insisted on by all its orators and presses—the doctrine of Congressional 'lnter vention,- It showed a degree of cowardice which we did, not look for, and is calculated to impress the public mind with a belief that there was no sincerity in atiy of the professions made.— Frankness is the best'weapon of a party desi rous of success; and the only one to be'relied on. But the Convention lias determined the course of the party, and upon its acts the Op position must stand or fall.’' " Employ routi own Mechanics. —The fol lowing sensible article upon the .above subject, we clip from an exchange paper. There is no doubt that there is an obligation resting upon the people of , every community to employ their own mechanics ; 'but at the .game lime, there is a corresponding: obligation resting upon the mechanics to do-their work in'such a manner as to merit support: ‘•We have frequently spoken on 1 this subject and would impress the matter upon our readers by repeating our views. If the citizens of any town do- not encourage their own mechanics, that tqwh will not bo prosperous. Every arti cle that is manufactured at homo should be pur chased there and not abroad. If you .send to other towns for your ' shoes, your hats, your clothes, your furniture, &c., when you can' get these articles just as good at yotir own door, you are lending a hand-’ to a system of trade, which, if carried out-, will prostrate your own merchants, your own school-houses and church es, and destroy even yourself. Whenever you purchase an article abroad, which you can have made at home just as well, you db a great wrong, to your own town. .You take the money Which you pay-for that article from your own' mechanics, and give it to the support of me chantcs residing elsewhere. You contribute to the prosperity of strangers, that which you're fuse to contribute to the prosperity bribe town in which you live. I'ou may think you arc putting a penny in your own pocket, but in fact you are taking several out of your neigh bor’s pockets, and in the endoutof yourowu.” Cheeking News.— »lon, J> the intelligent ■Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, (neutral,) in hi» letter of Wednesday week, says: The Democratic party of the Empire State will be united at the next Presidential election. There is iro doubt of this, and thej' will present no candidate ol tlieir own, the names of Air. Dickinson and Air.
