iJIWi AMERICAN VOLUNTEER, JOHN B. BRATTON, Editor & Proprietor Tub. State Ticket.— ln our next vre ex pect to be able to publish the official vote of the entire State. The majority for the Republican State ticket will be some 15,000 or 18,000. ■As old Father Rrrcitik used to say, nous ver- rons! Vote for Senator.— We have not received the official vote for Senator from Juniata and Mifflin, but we see it stated that Crawford’s majority in the former is 420,. and in the latter 80. In Perry county his majority is 16. and Irwin’s majority in this county is 84. Craw ford’s majority in the district 422. Resolt Total.— The Black Republicans of this county have, ever since the election, kept up a constant cackling over what they call their ‘‘great victory.” Let ns pest the books and see what their victory is. The Democrats carried the county for their Slate ticket by over 300, and elected their Sen ator, one Assemblyman, District Attorney, Di rector of the Poor, Auditor, County Surveyor, and Coroner. The Republicans, (by the aid of treacherous Democrats,) elected one Assemblyman, Treas urer, and County Commissioner (by 4 votes,) — that is all. And this is what they call their “ great victory.” Lecture bt, Mb. Prentice.—George D, Prentice, Esq., of Louisville, the able and ac complished editor, lecturer, wit arid poet, will deliver a lecture in Hall, on Wednes day evening, the 26ih inst. Subject—“ Amer ican Statesmanship.” Mr. Prentice is one of the distinguished men of bur country, and has acquired a reputation as a lecturer and orator, such as few men can boast of. All onr citizens should make it a' point to go and hear him, for, beyond question, his lecture will afford a-<rlch intellectual treat. Go and hear Prentice ! Premiums at State Fair.— At the late Fair of the State Agricultural Society, held at Phil, adelphia, Mr. Peter Peffee, of Lower Dickin son township', this county, ropeived the first pre mium, ($26,) for the host Jack, and also the first premium ($10,) for the, best Jennet. Our .townsman, Mr. John .Nobi.e, was awarded the first premium for the host saddle-horse. Fixe Grapes, —Our townsman, Mr. John Thompson) presented us with several fine bunch es of the grapes ho exhibited at our late County .Fair, which, for beauty and'flavor, wo have never seen excelled. The vino on exhibition, was about three feet long, and contained 75 large, full clusters! They are of the Isabella variety. ■ Egg Beater. —Every housewife should have one of Monroe’s Patent Egg Beaters—the best thing ever invented for pastery purposes. For heating eggs, and mixing ingredients for pas tery, it not only performs the work well, but in an incredible short space of time. The beater is turned with a crank, which propels wire dashers right and left, by which eggs or pastries are beat into a foam in a few seconds. It is, indeed, a most ingenious, simple, and useful .article, and.should'be in the hands of every housekeeper.; Mr. Charles-FranciscM) rfbo can.befound at Harmon's Hotel, is the agent for the sale of this excellent article. , “ Guide to the Oracles. ’’—This is the title of e very neat volume of 341 pages, which was placed. on our table a few days since. The work, to use the language of its author, {Al piied Kevin, D. D.,) “ is not intended for learn ed theologians, but for Sabbath-school and Bi ble-class teachers and scholars, and others who feel the need, as it is believed many do, of a con venient and compendious volume, to which they' can at any time turn for information to aid them in understanding and defending the Word of God.” , Trom'a, of this, work, we feel warranted in saying that it will serve as a useful companion to the “ Book Divine,” and should be in tile hands of every parent, students of Biblical science, and Sabbath-school and Bi ble-class teachers. Mr. Samuel IIEPrLEPiN. OEii of Mqchanicsburg, is the agent for the sale of this boolS? ■ Destructive Fibe at the Cabeisle Gabbi son.--rßetvveeh 9 and 10 o’clock on Saturday . evening last, our citizens were again startled by tUb-cry' ot “fire f” A dense smoko was seen to ascend at the Garrison, and in a few'seconds it was "discovered that one of tho large govern ment stables was on fire. Our firemen and citi • irons Jmrried to the assistance of our military friends, buf-with - all their efforts tho flro could not be checked, and in a sbert time tho stable - was reduced to ashes. At tho time the (Ire broke out the stable contained 60 head of 6o vernment horses. Forty-five of tho horses were got cut-in safety, but, horrible to relate, fifteen of these noble animals perished in tho flames. In the hurry and confusion to remove the hor ses, several soldiers-received" injuries; but none of a very furious nature,-wb believe, except one man, who broke his leg in jumping from n win dow. Tho stable was- a fine • new- structure, - erected some two years since, at a oosfof $5OOO, and was 220 feet in length, and built in the moat substantial manner. A considerable quantity of loats, corn, hay and straw was also consumed, together with’a number-of "saddles, bridles, sta ble tools, &c. The toss to the Government-will bo some eight or ten thousand dollars. How tho flro originated is not known, but it . is very generally behoved by the officers that it was,the work of two recruits stationed at the post, both of whom were arrested and placed in the guard house. Thanksgiving Day.—Gov. Packer Ims is sued a proclamation, designating the 24th of November, to bo observed as a duy'of thinks, giving in the State, It Is expressed in appro priate language, and will meet with a popular response from the people of the State, with whom an annual day of thanksgiving is a settled and looked-for event. CT*Our friends in Perry county contributed liberally to our late County Pair, and in some respects “ took down” our Cumberland couniy farmers. A committee from the Perry County Agricultural Society (of which" Gen. Joseph Bailt is President,) were in attendance, with specimens of monstrous potatoes and apples, as well as parcels of new wheat, of extraordinary weight and beauty. These articles were much and all agreed that daughter Perry , was-lmrd to beat in vegetables and.grain. I ndianaF lection. —The returns from Indi ana arc very meagre, but they show Republican gams. THE RESULT IN THIS COUNTY. In another column will bo found the Official Returns for this county, by which it will bo soon that the majorities for the Democratic State Ticket toot up the handsome figures of 80S.— Wo venture to say. (hero is not another county in the Slate that sustains her character belter or even so well as Old Mother Cumber land. Last year this was the only county in the State that preserved her Democratic major ity and her integrity, and we think the same may be said of 1 her now. , Our majority for tho State Ticket this fall is within a few votes of what we gave in 1858. But, notwithstanding the handsome majority tho State Ticket received, wo record, w.ith re. grot, tho defeat 61 a portion of onr Comity Tick et. Of course this was the work of professing Democrats, who, to gratify personal spleen, were induced to strike at and defeat several of the Democratic candidates. -We envy not the feelings of the man who can be guilty of such conduct. True, he may succeed in'gratifying his spite, but in doing so he sacrifices a princi ple which every true Democrat should consider it his duty to defend and uphold. Previous to the assembling of the County Convention, and the nomination of a ticket, we all have a perfect right to favor who we please j but after a Con vention has named the ticket, every man liav. ing tbe principles of the Democratic party at heart, will yield his preferences to the will of tho majority. Dad all the Democrats of this county adhered to this well-established rule, our whole ticket would have been elected by 400 or 500 majority, and our unprincipled opponents would not now bp rejoicing over the defeat of threo of our most worthy candidates. : Wo yen., tiiro to say that many pf the men who struck a portion of the Democratic ticket and assisted to deloat it, already regret their course, The loud huzzas of the Republicans over what they call their “victory,” aflbrd little comfort to those recreant Democrats who brought about this re sult j and we doubt not they begin to realize the iact that there is nothing to bo gained by- assis ting to elevate a, political foe over one of our own party- IFe sincerely trust that this disorganizing spir it in the Democratic ranks has been resorted to for the last, timo in this couniy. It is worse than folly to pursue this suicidal policy. Let Democrats in all future contests imitate the ex ample of (heir Opponents, and adhere to their oivn ticket. By doing so wo can always calcu late upon a victory over the combined opposi. (ion. IMPORTANT ERROR. Waggoner Elected Commissioner. Just before going to press, wo learn that an important error has been delected in the Mon roe box., in tally for Commissioner, it ap pears that Gorgas received 172 votes, but the clerk of.the election-set it down 177. and the re turn Judges, (who met hero on Friday last.) made the same return. By this error, Gorgas was pronounced eledted by 4 majority, but the .true return will elect Waggoner by 1 majori ty. Mr. W. will have to apply to the court to have the false return sot aside. THIS AGRICULTURAL EAIR. The Fair of the Cumberland County Agricul tural Society for this year was brought to a close on Friday evening last, after a successful exhibition of throo days—during all of which time the weather was beautiful. During the days, of the exhibition Carlisle was crowded with people—the number being estimated at from live to seven thousand. Tho hotels wore all. full, and hundreds were accommodated at pri vate houses. The display at the Fair was alike creditable to our county and the Society—in deed it exceeded, in all respects, any heretofore held. Owing to tho admirable arrangements of tiie - officers of tho Society, everything wont along smoothly and without accident. The Garrison Band was upon tho ground during the whole time, and discoursed sweet music for tho thousands in attendance. The display of stock was highly creditable, a great number of "very superior horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c., being on exhibition. • The poultry department .contained nearly every variety of fowls, arid was very fine. The exhibition of machinery, such as Thresh ing Machines, Mowers and Reapers, Grairi arid Corn Drills, Plows, Washing Machines, Feed Cutters, Churns, &c., &c„ attracted much at tention, and was highly creditable. The display in the buildings was the best wo have ever, had, On evidence that our ladies, as well as our mechanics, feel an interest in those annual Pairs, and are glad of tho opportunity to display the work of their own hands. There was a largo assortment of fruit and domestic articles, such as preserves and pickets, butter, bread, &o. The Floral department attracted the attention of tho ladies, as well as all gentlemen of culti vated taste, and was equal to any wo have ever .seen at a County Fair. Vegetables of every variety were on exhibit tion, as also grains and seeds of various kinds. But, ,w*o wiH not attempt, to enumerate the thousands of articles that graced the Fairj to do so would occupy a page of onr paper. We have rarely seen so many well dressed people assembled together as were to ho seen at (his Fair. Tho genteel appearance of the thousands who were on. the ground, betokened prosperity anddmppinessi and as wo stood off and looked upon their cheerful countenances, wo fell proud of our county and an inward admiration for her people.- Cumberland is one of the richest counties in tho State, and is making good pro. gross in all-things desirable,. Education is working wonders. Farming lias become n sci ence, and farmer’s -boys-arc now being well ed ucated, as-well as-tho hoys-ol thotowns.- Thus we progress, and thus are we growing in great ness. Ours is the country of tho world; and our people the most prosperous and happy. The exhibition, as we have said, closed on Friday evening, after tho premiums had been awarded. In another column will ho found the full reports of tho Committees on Premiums. Death of Hon. John,,Y. Mason.— By'the late arrival of the steamer North Briton, wo learn the death of lion. John Y. Mason, the distinguished American Minister at Paris.— has been in ill-health for the last year or more, and his death was not unexpected. Onto Election. —The returns of the State election-in Ohio, on Tuesday, generally show gains for the Republicans, who, have doubtless carried the State by about 15,000 majority.— In Cincinnati’and . Hamilton county alone the Democrats gain largely. The Senate will bo composed of 25 Eepublicansand lO Democrats, and the House of 04 Republicans and 40 Demo crats. K 7" Cady Franklin has spent all her fortune in Arctic researches. She is now in the South ! of France'* in ill health. LIST OF PREMIUMS AWARDED BY THE CUMBERLAND CO., AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Your commits has brought to its assistance in the discharge of its duties, in deterjhiniog the .qualities of “Preserves and pickles,” the expe rience of many years in the “sours as well as the sweets of'life.” With much diffidence, do they venture to express an opinion ns to the rel ative qualities of the different articles on exhi bition ; as in many cases they were hermetical ly scaled in glass jars, and here, a resort to eyesight alone, was necessary io determine whether or not the preparation was good. In other instances, fruits were pasted up in earthen pots, or soldered in tin canshere the commit tee' ‘fvient it blind,” taking it for granted that articles must be good, or they would not be on exhibition; This process of scaling up, your commillco'lhink, is agood mode of preserving pickles.

The committee had an opportunity of wit- nessing a cooking range and gas consuming oven, erected by Foote & Bro., whilst in opera tion, all the dillerent operations, such as - bak ing, roasting, boiling, and stewing were per formed to perfection. The combined scroll saw and morticing ma chine invented by J. Lash seems well adapted for the use of shops which have not the advan tage of steam power, being worked by a treadle and rnnhing light and easy. The hub-bonrei-, the invention of the same gentleman, must, from its construction, strike an exact centre, and is considered by us the best machine of the kind to our knowledge in use. The spring beam plow by the same inventor has been exhibited at former fairs and passed upon by other committees. The Good Will, Cumberland atid Union fire companies exhibited their apparatus, which at tracted much attention on account of their neatness, and exhibiting the enterprise of these companies. The Hook and Ladder company’s apparatus was very complete and excited much interest. ’ A small but neat machine in the; form of an improved patent egg beater was exhibited by C. Franciscos. . C. Herman, of Silver Spring, exhibited two Osage oranges, the first raised in this county, together with specimens of hedge raised by him: He is the first of our farmers who has grown the orange hedge to any cxient, and we would call the attention of our farmers thereto.

Harris, is an ingenious invention by an enterprising' mechanic, and your 'committee, as far as they can judge, think that it may answer the pur pose well, at ail events it deserves to be tried by the Railroad companies ; for it may save many lives. Among the miscellaneous animals on exhibi tion arc a white ground squirrel, very rare ; a trained raccoon ; half a score of beautiful spot ted carriage dogs; and a grey squirrel.
