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.

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.

The (wo heiffers of Elias Brenneman and E.

exhibited, and the committee hav.e to regret
that they had it not in their power to award
premiums to many very meritorious articles.—
The revolving harrows deserve attention and ex
amination ; me committee cannot recommend
them more strongly because they have been un
tried, and when tried they may turn out to be
very useful.

P i ■eserves md Pickles . —The committee, to
whom was rewred the subject of the merits of
anl Pickles,” exhibited at the Ag
ricultural Fair, beg leave to report, that they
have various interests entrusted
to them with air the consideration that their
importance demands. • .
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—

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.
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. Stoy of North Middleton is the patentee,
of a. very simple but efficient apparatus for
hoisting beef or hogs, intended for the use of
farmers and which recommends, itself on ac
count of its simplicity and neatness of construe-
Witten & Go’s self generating gas burners,
show a bright dear light and may answer well
I a substitute where coal gas cannot bo.hath -
; The patent coupling exhibited by J. 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.
