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.

The committee did not consider’them as thorough breeds, and it was not treating them fairly to put. them in competition with them that were, and being both so meritorious of their kind, that the committee could not, agree to distinguish between them, and therefore award to each a premium of $2. .flcuon Catties —Tiie best bull between 2 and 3 years, to Johnston Moore, $5; second-best to, Wm.

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. Under all these discouraging circum stances, however, your committee hope to pro serve their characters as good judges, and not get into a bad pickle with the Fair contributors, and respectfully make the following awards— For a lot of preserves, Tyear old, Mrs. Gi W.

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.

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. Jotnes Hamilton exhibited a full.rigged mod el of a ship.' The iron railing of Gardner & Co., would be creditable to any manufacturer. The folding gate of. D. Strock nitructed a good deal of notice on 'account of its novelty. G.

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.

The rioters arc entrenched in tho ArmOTy, and Mr. Washington and Mr. Lagonfeld are pri soners. Tho insurrectionists, commanded by Captain Brown, (of Kansas notoriety,) numbered origl nalJy seventeen white rnen anti five negroes, several of whom were shot. Iwo men of tho Martinsbnrg company were shot dead whilst charging in tho armory. A portion of tho insurgents have left, under command of a leader named Cook, who, with a largo party of slaves, is supposed to bo moving towards Pennsylvania. , Allen Evans, one of the insurrectionists, is ly ing in a dying condition here, having been shot through the breast. Ho is from Connecticut, but has been in Kansas. He says the whole SCHEME WAS GOT OP DtUbOWN, WHO REPRE SENTED THAT THE NEGROES WOULD RISE BY THODSANDS, AND MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA WOULD BE MADE TREE STATES. Col, Shriven, of Frederick, has just had an interview with Brown in the Armory. He asked to be allowed to March out with his men, and avowed liis intention of defending himself to the last. His men arc very strongly posted in the engine house, and cannon cannot be used against them for fear of injuring tho prisoners they still hold - . O' John A. Washington has “suspended.” Il'Was stated, some time since, that ho had in vested of tho money ho received for tho homo ol his great ancestor, in corner lots in Chicago. Tho presumption was that ho had paid over the cash for them; but it seems that ho gave his notes for them, and they have gone to protest. ‘' ,j 000 O P S-s t* 'BBSS?!
