Association of Carlisle, on Saturday evening last, in tho Methodist Church, before a very largo audi ence. lie is ah eloquent old man—his age 75 —and an enthusiast in his calling. He al so preached in the. Methodist Church, morn ing and evening, to largo and attentive audi ences. His preaching is earnest, and in the old Methodist stylo—'vehement, denunciator}-, and persuasive; . .. Dochmxg Gap.— Mr. A. Koser, of Gettys burg, has purchased an interest in the.

A large expenditure is contemplated vtb make the place still more attractive. Mr. Knnaga will liavh charge of tho Springs next summer. , ' Attempted Robberies.— That our town contains scores of unmitigated scoundrels, rob-. Mote, thieves, incendiaries, &ct,lias been made quite evident of late. On Tuesday and Thurs day nights of last week, two men (belonging'to Carlisle, it is holioved,)' proceeded to the house of Mr.AnK.uiAM lletkich, a.vreaWby man re siding in North Middleton township, and ut •tempted to gain admittance into his house.— The members of the family were in bed am sleeping, but the noise occasioned b}’ the at tempt upon the door, roused the inmates, and the burglars, seeing a light, made a hasty re treat. On Thursday night subsequent, the samo men,, as is’supposed, made another, at tempt to enter the house. This time they ar rived jnountod on horseback,'and hitched their horses a few rods from the house. Their noise again attracted, tho attention of Mr. Hetrick, who hoisted his chamber window, and deman ded what tho intruders wanted.; They made no answer, but fired several shots front a pis tol at Mr. H., which fortunately, did not hit him, but broke tho window into pieces, Mr. Hetrick then got his gun, And'.was preparing to giro his visitors .a' .warm; reception,)when they again took to their heels; mounted their ' horses and galloped off. There being snow upon tho ground, the tracks of tho horses wero traced to Carlisle the nest morning.— There is no doubt the horses used by those ' scoundrels belonged to Mr. Egbert Noble, •who rpsides about a half-mile east of Carlisle. It was evident, from tho .appearance of two of liis horses tho next morning, that they had bison used and well sweated during tho night. Tho horses had boon returned to their stalls, hut wore still wot with prespiratiou. Strong efforts arc being made to ferret out tho mis : . croants engaged in this fiendish attempt at murder and robbery. Another Attempt to Ron.—Early on Fri day evening last, an attempt was made- to eu ■ ter the watch aud jewelry store of our neigh bor, Mr. JosepH-U. Steel. The robber was ■ busily engaged in'forcing opoiv the shutter of tbq roar window,’ when bo was discovered by . some of the'neighbors, who gave the alarm, : when the-cowardly whelp ran at the top of his speed, and escaped. ■ Our citizens cannot lie too careful ih' secn rihg their .doors, for our town is infested with wretches who arc capable of committing all sorts of crimes. It would bo well too, if' eve ry housekeeper would-provide himself with-a. good revolver, to ho used when occasion re quires. .' ■ Oiir virtuous neighbor, the Herald, like the American, continues to harp upon the resolutions adopted by the late Democratic County Convention. It yelps like a whip ped hound, and indulges in all sorts of fishwo man slang. It objects to the language of the resolutions, without attempting to gainsay their truth. Even the- resolution endorsing the'administration of Mr, - llucn-AXAN, lacks' truth and sincerity, in' the' opinion" of onr •very conscientious neighbor. • AVhat right has the editor to stigmatize thoforly-four men who composed the Convention' as falsifiers, who lacked sincerity? This is a littlc too grave a charge to come from the quarter it does.. The editor of the Herald himself voted for Mr. Bu chanan, and wore it not that ho is now hired to father the insipid falsehoods of the Herald, Ifo woultf still, wo have reasons to believe, bo friendly.to the administration. He to talk of a want of sincerity, and yet give support to a party or faction that changes its name and its tactics every twelve months. Bah!—got out! Franklin’s birthday, the I7th nit., was appropriately honored in most of the largo ci ties. -In Boston, Hon. Edward Everett de livered his great oration on the great printer before the Franklin Typographical Society. ( The Slnliilily of Democracy. ' Ever .since' the formation of this govern- ment, Democracy has been the leading spirit of the Nation. To its influence may bo justly ascribed all those glorious institutions, all those great measures, arid thB conception and. execution of all those gigfmtic plans of inter nal improvement which have given us so high a rank among the powers of the world. In fact, it and it alone, by its generous impulses, animated our fathers to resist successfully the the aggression of foreign tyrrany, and enabled onr country to break * from the \msightl3 chrysalis of a colonial dependency into the beauteous form of.n Republic. The self same spirit which then existed, pure aud noble as at first, still lives, ns the vital principle of Democracy to-day. Not one jot or one tittlo has it changed, cither hr its- outward foim or in its inner action, untarnished and undefilod, it still gleams as brightly ns when it first shone on the revolutionary struggle. Even now ft new triumph over its enemies is given it, ami wc behold it standing forth us the as sertor of constitutional rights and' the pacifi cator of n nefarimis intestine 1 war.- Its toler ant and liberal principles cause it to be the "National Party, beloved hundreds of thousands in every 'section of the country. Based on the broad ground of right and equal ity, it at once receives the.cof.dbtl support of thousands who*, fleeing from, despotism . at homo, seek liberty and the natural rights of man under the protecting folds of our flag. Entirely national in, its designs it purposes not to interfere in tiid workings of the differ ent Stath governments; it allows each to maintain and cultivate whatever institutions it thinks conducive to its individual prosperi- ty. Long has it boon tho .prop and stay of bur Republic, and as long as its precepts are hut followed,, so long will it extend to us its protecting arms and influence. So- says the Clinton Democrat. Republican Tactics. While the leaders in Congress keep, silent, and persistently vote for Sherman, the endor ser of Helper, the Committee of the party have commenced preparatmy operations for the campaign of iB6O, hy flooding Pennsylva nia, Now Jersey, Illinois, and IVisconsin, with Helper’s “Impending Crist/’ and the New York. Tribune. Thus it appears that their plan is marked with the usual duplicity of that party. It is understood that Sherman and his supporters are to deny that they approve of the incendi ary and treasonable doctrines promulgated hy Helper; that they are to keep silent, lest hy some accident, if drawn, into debate, they might say or” admit something that would compromise that party. In the meantime, while they are voting, their Committee has the,work to dop.iind.it must bo admitted that they'are performing it with great vigor and an industry worthy of a bettor cause. The circulation of their documents is greatly noroaoed, and before Spring, all the Contra! States will lie flooded. ' Tho antidote for this abolition poison is in the support and circulation of sound and reli able Democratic papers. .... 'She hope of the country is in the' conserve-. 1 live intelligence of the great, tnbhacs of - the \ people,: who are not to bo duped by Abolition 1 fabrications, or, influenced by reckless trading politicians. The National Democracy of'tbe North is sound to.the core; and there will bo founded withtheni, in the .hour of trial, a largo body of Northern conservative men, who have here tofore acted with the' AVhig and American parties, whoso motto will bo tho same as that of their Democratic brothorn: “The Union must and shall bo preserved.” Con-chess —No Shea her Yet! —Tho Black Republicans have at length dropped Sherman, their pet candidate for Speaker; Iloisadead cock in tho pit. On Monday, two. unsuccess ful ballots wore had for Speaker, The follow ing was the vote on the forty-first (tiro last,) ballot, ' . POUTV-FIHST BALLOT. Whole number of votes, Necessary to a choice,. Mr, Pennington, . Mr. Smith, '(N', C.) . Scattering, , ■ CoHitrXTiox. —Wo have .received a nolo from Mr. J. Dorshoimor, doled Mechanics burg, Jan. 23d, stating that the article in the last Herald, in reference to a oommitteo in Virginia, notifying him to leave the Stale, is ■incorrect. Thathe has never boon molested in any way, and has always boon kindly trea ted. We can only say that-the report was current hero and at Mcchauicsburg, and we gave it for what it was worth. We make the correction-with' pleasure. —Carlisle Herald. The i/iu-oW might continue to make “cor rections,” if it felt disposed, for most of its litical information is notoriously preposterous, and erroneous. The story about Mr. Dousn eimf.ll having hoen notified hy Virginians to leave that State, and that, in consequence of this notice, lie .did all this , because ho had been, soon to . haul a load of guano to his farm, bore the falsehood upon its face—a regular fabrication, manufactured from the whole cloth. But yet this notorious “un truth” (to use the favorite word of a certain scribbler for the press in this tor™,) was not only published but endorsed by the Herald! Wo are glad Mr. DoasitEiMEß has branded the whole story false, and compelled the Her ald to.retract the slander.- “Why do, not the'treasonable'disunion sen timents of the Southern Democracy receive the reproof of Northern democrats.’.’ Carlisle Herald ; The Southern Democracy have- never ut tered disunion sentiments, withont'firstqnalify ing their words. They have said that'if the Constitution-is to be disregarded, the Fugitive Slave Law mocked at, Southern States inva ded, and their citizens shot down like dogs, by hired minions, thieves and vagabonds boloug ing'to the Black Republican party, then they (the Southern people,) prefer a separation from the North.. Can any honest man cen sure them, that they thus express themselves ? We trow not. ■ SiiAUP'PiiACTiCE.— Ponding the discussion of a bill granting a divorce" in the Nebraska Legislature, one of the members related an instance of the sharp practise of a couple res ident in that Territory. They applied to the Legislature and obtained a divorce, and im- mediately the man and wife pre-empted one hundred and sixty acres of land apiece, and having proved their title thereto, were mar ried again the next day, after securing one hundred.and sixty acres of land by the opera tion. TUc Negro Bislurlmnccs in Canada; The beauties of practical Abolitionism arc fully illustrated just n<Sw in tho dominions of her most glorious majesty, Qucon Victoria, near tho city of Detroit. Wo alluded last week to some of those outrages, and they still ■continue. ; Canada West has boon for years tho city of refuge fur ail tho colored outlaws and rapscallions of the Western continent.— The negro clement has so increased tho col ored population in many districts outnumber ing the white; and Africa, seems determined to adopt thd principle that majorities shall rule without regard to color. At Chatham tho public schools have boon taken possession of by hundred negroes, tbo white tea chers and scholars' were driven out. Tho ne gro inhabitants of the town far outnumber the whites, and the whole town was in an uproar in consequence of tho war-Ukc demonstrations of the negroes. , The Africans demanded that the schools should not only ho thrown open to them, but that they should bo allowed to participate in the management, which, owing to their numbers, is equivalent to giving them tlio entire control. Tho Detroit papers, in speaking of those af fiiirs, say that tho negroes have hitherto been allotted schools ntld teachers hy themselves, the latter being drawn'from their own race, but.Jlicy declared that they ware as good as tlio whites, if not hotter, and that they must, to allowed to send their children to tho white schools. It was claimed that any superior ad vantages wore to ho gained hy this arrange ment, hut the negroes considered it an indig nity, that, they wore' not plated in immediate contact wit-li the whites and wpro determined to compel tlio latter to submit to their socie ty, and that of their children. ■ At Sandwich, there' Was a disturbance grow ■ ing out of the same cause. The whites, in ap portioning tho schbol tux, assessed themselves only, leaving tho negro population out, in or der that they might not control tlio cause of education hy their votes at the hallot-box. — -The negroes wore highly incensed at this, and went in a body to the polls oh tho occasion of the election of school officers, determined to vote. They were resisted and driven away; and much-ill feeling-and enmity engendered. . . It will be . seen by all of these indications that the negro population of our neighboring province is becoming organized and bold, in Us opposition to'the legitimate.institutions of the country, and overbearing and insolent' towards its rightful citizens. We may safely say that-the hatred with .which they are. .re garded in return is not less violent or open than their-own demonstrations. There are very few whltcs'living on the hoarders, where this fugitive race most congregate,.so fanatic as.to close,thoir eyes to the fact that their im migration is fast tending towards the demo ralization of the country. As citizens'they are worthless to the last degree, while crime prevails among, them to an ajarming extent, and swells, tho criminal calendars of tho coun try, with the most revolting offences—particu larly with the violation of female chastity.— With all this in return for the mistaken kind nesses which have boon offered them, they - are now 'becoming bold and,violent, and, have \ /dared to resort to the \ugti-\umdcd incafiuro.H \ which wo have recorded, all of which, we.tc-1 ipcat,-nre obviously" tho result of a concerted FmovebVont among, tho 'great'body, of negroes , j inhabiting this portion of the province. Can ' ada has nursed a viper in its bosom, which is now preparing to turn upon it. The hordes of blacks'which have for years poured into its border counties aro beginning to feel thoir powers, and, if wo mistake not, will give infi nite 'trouble before they aro again crushed lown to their proper level. • Mr. Cochrane, the Republican member of Congress from Western New York, who. re cently was sent to the Utica Lunatic Asylum, is said to bo recovering. Dr. Gray says his malady arose from having boon.overtaskcd by Congressional duties.— Hx. ■ When wo consider the vast amount of work done hy. the present; House of Representa tives, it need not surprise us if the, powers, both mental and physical, of all the members, should bo utterly exhausted. They have been nearly two months, trying to elect a Speaker, but the task thus far has been beyond their powers, and of course they failed.- They go to the Capitol every.day at noon, and swallow a most intolerable amount of twaddle, which occupies them for several hours, when they adjourn and go to dinner. 223 117 115 113 The Presidency; —At a. Democratic Con vention, .held in Joncsborough, Tennessee, on the Gth ult., the Hon. Andrew Johnson, of that State was recommended as the preference of, the Convention for the Presidency of the United States. The editor of the Jouosbor ough Unitm endorses the preference warmly, and in doing so, pays a high compliment to the Hon. William Bigler, of Pennsylvania, by naming him in connection with Governor Johnson,'as the choice of that section for Vied President. The Union says: “Governor Bigler, of Pennsylvania, has, many of the qualities of Governor Johnson, of Tennessee. They are both self-made men ; built from the foundation up of cemented ma terial of their own merits, and their friends know upon what to roly. As wo propose to revert to this matter again, wo will at present close, ,by announcing our preference for, can didates in the Presidential canvass the names of 'Johnson and Bigler.’ ” B®* Tho lion. Theodore Frelinghuyson, (writes a New York correspondent of the Ame rican Reveille,) native of Now Jersey, and now Chancellor of the University of Now York, who stood a good chance'fifteen years ago of being President of the United States, took to himself a.wife two:year's ago, at the ripe ago of seventy-two (himself, not the wife) and last week ho had born to him a sou and heir. Ho will probably name tho boy after himself, Theodore, meaning God-given—it will-cortoin ,ly bo appropriate. Such instances of “ bettor late than never’’ are . not very common, but there have been some very remarkable cases. Sir Stephen Fox, tho father of Jhmos Fox, was married at the ago of eighty, and was after wards blessed with three sons. Mr. Freling hnyson is now married for- tho second time.— lie had no children by his first wife. A Token of Goon.—Those who ought to know, say that there has been less finery and ornamental gow-ggws sold during tho present season, than during tho same period of any year since, the great panic of 1830. We have boon an over-dressed and over decorated peo ple, but wo are from past reverses beginning now to cut our coat according to our cloth.: The Lawrence Slaughter. It appears that some of the stockholders in the Pemberton Mills, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, wore fully aware that the building was unsafe, yet they made no effort to secure its safety. Then it is quite clear to trust that they are murderers. No common respectable, gentlemanly manner;;mlirdordrS, who more y kill off half a dozen men or so, hut cold blood-: ed, wholesale murderers. Wo have read ex tensively of this most frightful affair, and can take no other view of it. Wo would not have these fellows hung, nor consigned to the peni tentiary for life oven. They should bo hack ed .to pieces with dull hatchets. The more cnlpatile of them should he shut up With mad dogs. These miscreants’ tongues should bo pulled out by the roots. Their eyes should bo dug out with inOnkoy wrenches. They should bo made to drink molten lead and sit on rod hot gridirons. , Who that has read of this ap palling andlieaoitless slaughter—of the hearths and homes made desolate forever —of the fair bravo girls and honest, hard working men so untimely and horribly sent from the world who that has read of all this in the newsprints of the day shall say we write extravagantly. Let us hope these Pemberton Mills men aio unequalled in deeply black villainy, byJho proprietors of other cotton mills in Now Eng land, yet wo merely utter a plain, disgraceful truth when wo say that the, most of them are sordid and soulless wretches. Wo hear a great deal and'something too much, of the cruelty and wickedness of negro slavery in the southern portion of those United States; yet there is not ope slaveholder in five hundred who holds so 'tight and despotic a reign over his negroes ns do the cotton lords of pious New. England over their, employees.. They arc bell’d from bed, bell’d to the mill, bell’d home, boil’d everywhere. They must do their employers’ bidding, in all respects, like dogs. Body, heart, soul and brains, they belong to the lords of cotton, ' ■ . , . Why hot'indict and;try those Pemberton Mills butchers?' A jury.composcd of twelve howling Apache Indians, upon whom the sun light of 'civilization . never hurst, would pro nounce them guilty of murder most foul and unnatural. iGod help the .friends of the loved and host! Death rnou Burning ib.uii). —George Clin ton, ah attendant at the water station on the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Shock's Mills, three miles above Marietta, XoncastCr county, re turned to his post last Friday evening, from a sale at Maytown, somewhat intoxicated.— About 11 o’clock that night, ho attempted to light his flnidlamp in the water-shed, but one of'the wicks being out of the wick-tube, ho applied the match to the'wrong place, when the fluid ignited, and the lamp exploded, burning him in a frightful manner; and from the effects of which ho died on Saturday morn ing at 9 o’clock, in great agony. Mr. Clin ton was 49; years of ago, and leaves a largo flunily, Who wore dependent upon him for sup port.- ■ The Republican National Convention. —The nominating Convention called by the , Republican Ifational Committee at Chicago, \ June Jiocß .«ot appear to bo 1 and plaoopto many of the newspaper organs of that party.' Various reasons are urged in hohalf of a change, es pecially in the time; hut it is prohahlo that one argument Outweighs all the others in po tency. they are afraid of the ghost of the old Whigs. The remains of the Whig and Ame rican parties are being gathered up with some care,’and are to ho used as a third party in the Presidential campaign. To the utter dis j may of the Republicans, the managers of this third party propose to hold a nominating Con vention in May; a full month before tho time fixed for the Republican Convention at Chica go, and thus, os the phrase goes, “take tho wind out of the" sails" of the great sectional party of the North. • . Scarlet Fever, continues to deso late the homes of people in various sections of iho State. In one township of Jefferson coun ty twenty-live, children have died within a pe riod of two months, and the disease instead of ahating : appeara to ho increasing, whole fami lies of children being prostrated with it. In the space'of’Wb weeks, out of a family often children seven have died, stricken down hy the “red demon of the nursery.” The dis ease also prevails to a considerable extent in some sections of this county. J3@j“ Prof. James P. Espy, the well-known meteorologist, died On : Tucsdajr evening last, at Cincinnati, of paralysis, having been ill a week. Prof. Espy Was born in Washington county, Pa; in the year 1785, so that ho was in .his 75th year when ho died. He early turned his attontion to the study of meteorol ogy,, and his writings on the philosophy of storms have been commended by the best au thorities dt homo and abroad. For a number of years ho hold, under the T Federal Govern ment, an office that was especially established for him, with a view of, scouring the best -practical proof of his theory. Prof. Espy was a widower, and ho loaves no children. His. remains have boon taken for, interment to Harrisburg, where his wife was buried, and, whore other relatives reside. Hard Case',— The free negroes recently ex pelled from Arkansas, have published an ap peal to the Christian world to protect thein. They say Indiana shuts hor doors upon them. Illinois denies prairie homos to them. Ore gon will not receive them, and Minnesota is debating whether or not she shall admit them. They complain of being forced into a cold cli mate suddenly from a warm one, and present a sad picture of the distress that they suffer. If their injudicious friends in the free States had lot them alone, it is quite likoly that they would have been still enjoying their freedom unmolested in the South. Two Children' Burned. —ln Mifflin county recently the house' of Michael Garritz was burned with all its contents, and two children perished in the flames- Two other children, a little boy and girl, made their escape by leaping from the second story window to the ground. ; There pro about three millions of dol lars in the possession of the Post Office De partment, but not a contof it can bo used un til an appropriation bill is passed by Con gress. The contractors for carrying the mails are suffering, and yet Congress is idly con suming weeks of time.’ Sons of Malta , Wo have Ward several speak of forming; a lodeo of tho ancient order of the Sons o tho mission of this order, wo 8 10 „ that it would moot with success, tho Sons of Malta'are known, they are chn acterlzcd for.their deeds of charity and oic During plague and famine they have alwaj been known to aid and assist those m need by keeping tho wolf from the door. The hrst order established in America was m the days of Peter Stuyvesant, who was the first U. . J. A. of tho order in the Now World. An accident occurring incapacitated him for a performance nf his duties, but tho old Dutch Governor was so stubborn that he refused to give up tho insignia of his office, and t icy were buried with him. For this indignity the charter,was revoked,'and not until two years ago could another bo obtained. When Capt. Leonard, of New York, wont to London, he succeeded, says tho Now York Tribune, in ob taining a now charter for America. Since that time the order has spread like wild-fire, and now needy every town of any importance in tho Union has a lodge of flic Sons. The order has increased, if possible, since tho ma ny protended exposes have come out, and now we find the Sons of Malta going on in the even tenor of their way, leaving a blessing on every threshold .they cross. r Congress and the Newspapers.— Nearly every day, in Congress, there is an episode upon newspapers and newspaper'editors, to diversify the dreary monotony of the Helper book contest. Members of Congress,, know ing, how they aro trifling away the session, are sensitive, to newspaper comment, and look cavcrly to see what the various journals nro saying of them. Hence, every day there is an explanation, or a defiance flung at some news paper,,and often language which ought never to bo hoard upon the floor of Congress, and never is, excopffrom some conceited member, who thinks the whole country is waiting in breathless anxiety to hear him scathe the newspapers! There never was a session of Congress' in which there was so much of this kind of twaddle—thcre'novor was a session in which the members so lar. forgot tho dignity of their position as to come down to personal explanations upon the floor, in answer, to non s paper, comment.’ .The members must feel that they are not doing their duty to their country, and are trifling away the interests of tho Union! They never know that they arc nofcurepresentatives of tho people in tho lar gest sense of the word, but merely fiictionists, filled withsdctional prejudice. Men who are conscious of having performed their duty faithfully look to their country for approval, and do hot fear newspaper comment. ; State Legislature.— Nothing of particular interest has transpired, in tho Legislature du ring the past week;: The business has thus far been of a'local character,, and, as usual, Philadelphiahas monopolized the greater por- ion of it. A bill of some importance'was in- troduced by Mr. Schell, Senator from Bed ford, a. few days ago. It provides for the sale of tho Pittsburg and Connellsvillo Railroad I undo! certain conditions, among which is ono . .that if tho.. Pennsylvania Railrad Company , become tho purchaser shall pay a bonus of one million of dollars to the State, and tho . tax upon tonnage passing over their road shall thereupon bo.ropcaled. ■ BSy Thb Board of Revenue Commissioners 1 meets at Harrisburg to-day (.Thursday.)

[Weekly Arizonian, Dec. 29, 1859.] Punishment’of Apaches by the Troops. Wo have received the following particulars, of the success of Capt. Elliott and his com mand in inflicting a severe, and'-signal pun ishment on a party of Pinal Apaches, on their return from Sonora. . For, seme days past, Capt. Elliott has been sooutingin the vicinity of “ Dragoon Springs,” and on the morning of the 10th instant, dis covered a largo -party of Apaches, making their way to the mountains, with horses, cab tie, mules, &c., stolon as usual from Sonora.— Ho followed their trail closely for three days, and early next mornig about thirty miles North West of Dragoon Springs, while the In dians wofO around their camp fires, cooking the meat of three Of the cattle they had butch ered, intending to have a glorious feast, — came in sight of them and prepared to attack. Dividing his command, ho charged them from two pointsbut unfortunately the horses of tho Indians hearing the noise, gave the alarm, or the surprise would have been complete, and not ’one could have escaped, ho succeeded, however, in punishing them to a dogreo, they will long remember, killing six warriors, be sides wounding several, and recovered thirty one head of stock,'lo horses, and three jack asses; also burning their camp, and taking with him six quivers filled with poisoned ar rows, lances, &o. Wo are pleased to notice this success on the part of the troops. The campaign now in the field, against the Apaches, notwithstanding the difficulties it has labored under,’ as shown by us, in previous numbers, has already ac complished much towards tho subjugation of these thieving Apaches.
