They have visited and are visit ing daily the Star Store of Mr, M. Mayer, in North Hanover street, formerly occupied and known o!a Mr. Miller’s,bakery, one door’ North of Dr. Dale’s, Carlisle, where they con-1 etantly find the best and 'cheapest assortment; of MILLINARY GOOD’S, sfifch as Bonnets,: in straw, silk.and velvet, richly trimmed.— Ladies and Missis Hats, in straw; felt, silk and velvet, trimmed with bird’s feathers, &0., &c. A large assortment of Cloaks, such as I the Chesterfield Coats, Loose Sticks, Circu lars, Short or "Walking Sacks, Shawls, Knit ted and Woolen Goods, Embroideries, Trim mings, &0., &c. By strict attention to his bnsmess, and by constantly receiving fresh supplies from Now. York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, Mr. May er offers rare inducements, and respectfully requests the Indies of Carlisle and vicinity to give him tf call. • tf. Examining' Sorgeon. —Attention is direc ted to the card of Dr. KtNELE.in another col umn. The doctor half had many years of ex perience in his profession, (Hid intends to make Carlisle liiS permanent lionio. Grain Fields. —We arc informed that in many localities the early sowed grain is suf -faring-soverely—from-the-eilossian Sly.- So great have boon their ravages, that many fields have been ro-soeded, and many others will be put into corn tho coming season. Clean YoOr Chimneys. —Now that the fall season is at hand, when high winds are prevalent, oar citizens should see that their chimneys are properly cleaned before they put up their stoves for the winter. It may be the means of preventing the destruction by Are of your own and your neighbor’s bouse. Sodden 'Death's. —On Saturday, tho 21st bit., Dr. Barr, ofNewville, died suddenly of * disease of the heart. On Wednesday of last week, Mr. David Goodyear,- a citizen of ShippCnabUrg, fell dead Whilst working at h wftgon. Mr. Q., was for many years' proprietor Of the Graff enburg Springs, Adams Co., and removed to Shipponsburg a few years since. Ifd was a quiet inoffensive citizen, kiu'd hnhbhnd and indulgent parent. Rather Rough.—At a late hour on last Saturday nigh r, a party of bu’glcrs from tho barracks, assisted by a’ few of obr {own “ sports," organized themselves into a 1 “ 6’ali thumpian band,” for tho purpose of serena ding a newly married couple at the northern end of the town'. After making a great deal of noise in front of tho house, and' the happy pair not complying with their demands for a “treat,” they determined to storm’the build ing, which they did by breaking open tho door and entered tho hi)us* blowing away on' their bugles and beating' on tin kettles, ma king the most hideous noise, which aroused the inmates of tho house, who, not liking such rough usage, made them beat a hasty retreat. The happy couple, however, were not at home, and the young “ sports” were obliged to go away without the “ treat,” and may yet bo sorry for that night’s fun. .Highway Robbery. —One day last woelc, Dr. Zollinger, of this place, was robbed of liia pooket-book under' tlnS following ciroum stanoos : Dr. Z. was milking a 1 visit to one of his patients at the North mountain, and while riding l over the mbuhtaln' road, near Waggoner's Gap, lib vraß suddenly stopped by two concealed yillianS, armed to the teeth', who caught the bridleof 1 his horss, and demanded bis money or his life, Iho doc tor, being alone and unarmed, very reluc tantly' gave Up' llis pooket-book, wKiob; for tunately for the doctor, contained but five' dollars. The scoundrels took the money and then left him’to proceed oir Ills joiirdey. This bold robbery is another evidence that organized bands of robbers are concealed in thh mountain passes, who pounce out upon defenseless travellers and rob them. Wo are told' that nearly every night small fires are seen by the people who reside in the moun tain heigborhood. This is Conclusive evi dence that robbers are about, and should, warn all persons, who have occasion to trav el on the mountains, to bo prepared to give the scoundrels a warm reception. IC7* Mrs. Surratt's furniture was sold at (Vashington on Friday in the presence of an immense concourse of people. BEVEPiDE TAX—A SCREW LOOSE. In another column we publish the incomes retuthod for taxation to the United Stales revdriuo officers for Division No. 9, which embraces North Middleton, South Middleton, Middlesex, and Dickinson townships, and Carlisle Borough. We confess wo read this return with astonishment. When wo con sider that each and every one is sworn before he or sho gives in the amount of income for! tho preceding year, we are still more amazed at the paltry sums set opposite tho names of coriain persons who havo of late years been, reputed very wealthy. Why, according to this return, wo have but few men in Carlisle] whoso .annual income, is sufficient to sustain the wants of their families'! TFhisna distress ing. Wo are a town of poverty, instead of a town of wealth, as we had supposed. Sbmo of our reputed wealthy citizens have no in come—not a cent 1 Others who had sold property daring the year amounting to thir ty or forty thousand dollars, return a few hundred as their income. Others again who have been reaping rich rewards from Gov ernfnent stealings—re.wards amounting to i SIOuOOO or $15,000 a year— reton about half 1 as much as is consumed on their tables for ' six months 1 Now, how comes this 7 There is a -screw loose somewhere. Men who for four years and more talked flippantly about giving the “ last man and last dollar" to Mr. Lincoln, for war purposes, are all at once quite poor, and their Government tax don’t amount to a drop in tho ocean. What are we to do ? These u loyal" men havo been preaching up to us that " a national debt is a national bless ing," but they don’t appear “to see it” when the U. S. Collector asks them to shell out. The amount of revenue tax collected in this coun ty for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1865, foots up $48,373 89, It would have been four or five times this amount had a true re turn of income been made to tho Assessor. — Wo repeat, then, there is something -wrong. Lot any one who is well acquainted with our Capitalists of Carlisle, glance over the returns of income made by many of them, and he will be convinced that our conclusion is correct. \Vo know a number of men in this place who have boasted of their big speculations in rail-road, oil, coal and other stocks, but it is evident they failed to mention these specula tions to the U. S. Assessor. How is this? We desire to cal! the attention of the peo plople to this subject. Wo are well aware that for the last lour years or more . a wide -1 spread immorality lias been sweeping over I our land. Infidels and-libertines have been appointed to positions of ttust and responsi bility ; bribery, corruption, fraud and. perju ry have been winked at if not encouraged by, those in-power; men Who have oil their lives been hostile to our flog And to the Union, and who during our war with' Kfesico a few years since, gave their influence, {Selr-nioney and their prayers to the, enemy, now occupy high posts of honor, and draw onormoifS Sal aries and stealings from thp 1 Government merely because they afTeet grout friendship for the negro. Ifurmcrly a man was consid ered a patriot who was willing to sacrifice his means, and if necessary, his blood, for his country. Not so now. The- maimed and blood-stained warrior, if ho refuses to bow down to the devilish teachings of Stevens, Beecher, Phillips, and other infamous mon, are spOkkn of as “ copperheads,” and the power of tho “ loyal thieves” is brought to bear against them. The men who hare ruled in this country for more than four years, re solved in the outset of their career to make money at all hazards. As a general thing they are political gamblers—selfish, reckless, and utterly unprincipled; Their example and pernicious teachings have demoralized thousands of men all over the country, who have become intent upon enriching them selves, without regard to the means they em ploy. Having made their “ pile,” they dutch it witli a miser’s grasp, and would hide it from the very Government they robbed.— They are willing to take from the Govern ment and the people at largo, but heave a deep sigh and cover- it up when tho U. S. Collector asks them to pay down the tax they owe. There must bo a remedy. Our coun try has a debt upon it frightful to contem plate. It must bo paid, every cent of it, and the rich nWu as well as the poor man, must shell out his proportion of taxes. Oar debt is about doublo what it should be, but that is owing to the doings of “ loyal thieves” and political rascals. But, no matter—it is upoh ns', heAVy, crushing and ponderous.— To moot it tho people’ must too the mark, give in true returns of their incomes, and pay down their taxes. So mote it be. Partridges. —Our sportsmen complain! of the scarcity of partridges this season. We presume the' reason is the eXtfciiio cold of last winter, during which thousands of theri must have perished. This is much to be re gretted, as these birds, properly prepared, have no equal on the table or in the restau rant. Wo would advise our sports Mon, how ever, not to shoot pdrtridges this season.— Let the few that survived the storms of last Winter live, that they may multiply and pop ulate the fields and mountain gorges as in times past. To shoot them now, is almost criminal ; to say the least of it is unmerciful. If continued it may result in their utter ex termination. Let our sportsmen then con sider this and spare their favorite gam’o for the present. Apples. — The apple crop this fall was’ al most a total failure in this section, and con sequently the fruit sells at' aa enormous price. Blip failure of this crop will be se verely felt during the'coming winter by the “gudo house-wives,” who annually put up large quantities of “apple butter,’’ {for the excellence of which article they enjoy an en viable reputation abroad, j'jelly, &0., for ta ble use during the long and rigorous winter season. Very little of thoso excellent arti cles of family consumption wore put up, and their absence from the table will be gicatly ftlt. DCT” Judge Wright', of Boston, Says that out of 32,764 children in that cityj Unddf fif teen years of ago, 1-,Boo’are annually in some way disposed of as criminals. So if sedmb that the Solons of the “ hub," while attend ing to the moral training of the little niggers down South, hayo entirely forgotten their own precious brats. A NEW PARTY SODTD. It is probable that a new political organi zation, under an old name, is about to be in- augurated in the South, commencing in North Carolina. Tho proposed name is Whig, which means a revival of tho old party of that name. The State commencing tho res urrection of that respectable old party, which had for fts loaders such men as Daniel Web star and Henry Clay, is entitled to the hon or, for amon r g tho Southern States there was none which eftung with more tenacity to their teachings than did North Carolina. But when the Whig party died, with tho two creat men mentioned, and when a sectional, Abolition organization was formed, avowed ly in opposition to the Southern States, there was nothing loft for tho old North State, but to join the Democracy of the" Union, which she 'did. Prior to this, however, from the'Election ol 1810, ] forth Carolina was steadily in oppoai tion to tbe Democratic pnsty, -as were at least one half of tho Southern States. In the elec tion mentioned, Mr. Van Burma, tho Demo cratic candidate, received tho electoral vote ■of but two really Southern States—South' Carolina and old venerable Virginia, He obtained the vote of Missouri through the. aid of the powerful Bcuton, bat that young commonwealth never pympathized with those extreme States, which were inhabited by the slavery propagandists. Four years after, in the memorable contest between Clay and Polk, tbo Southern vote was pretty-evenly divided, tho former receiving tho support of Delbwaro, Maryland, Kentucky, North Car olina and Tennessee. This was remarkable, inasmuch as tho Southern Democrats made the annexation of Texas tho issue of tho cam paign—a measure for which Polk had com- - mitted himself, while' Mr. Clay’s position up on it was not satisfactory to either the South ern extremists or Northern Abolitionists.— In the next Presidential contest, in which General Tailor and General Cass were the candidates of the two great parties, the South ern States, nearly all wont for the Whig can didate ; but four years after this they, with the exception of Kentucky and Tennessee, went largely for the Democratic candidate against the veteran General Scott. We have been thus particular in our ref- erenco to' oar Presidential contests, for the past quarter of a century, for the reason that the Abolitionists for the past five years, have labored to prove that the strength of the De mocracy always lay in the Southern States. On the contrary, when Mr. Clay divided the electoral vote of that section, the Democratic candidate Mr. Polk, a pro-southern man, was triumphantly elected and that too, by North ern and Western votes. lie received the votes of Maine and Now Hampshire in the East, those of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and lowa in the West, and thegraatcentral States ■of Now York and Pennsylvania, which were carried for him after the best contested elec tion that ever took place in this country.—' Okice during the -contest Mr. Olay had the election all his own way; but, unfortunate ly for him;'ho wrote a letter to a Southern correspondent stating his anxiety to see Tex as annexed to this country, the appearance of which took from him fifteen thousand votes in Now York, which were cast for a third candidate, thus giving tho Slato to .Polk and insuring that gentleman’scleotiou. It is but proper to add that, although Mr. Polk’s ad ministration was a successful ono, it planted thorns in the side of the Democratic party, which produced a open rupture in 1848, un der the load of Martin Van Huron',' thus se curing the defeat of General Cass, the Dem ocratic candidate. The Borer. —Now is the time to watch for this year’s crop of borers. If you will look at tho base of the tree you will see a little deposit of chips, which will indicate their lo cation. They can be removed with a knife without injury to tho true. They will ap peal like a worm one-third of on inch in length. Most persons neglect this operation till spring by which time they will have made a large cavity in the tree and done much injury. When they remain two years they become a large worm, and do great in jury to the tree; Wo have hoard many com plaints from those Who have suffered within tho last two years from their ravages, and admonish all our readers who have young orchards to watch their trees; If grass grows around the tree, draw it away and tho borers may be found even holov? tho surface of the ground. AY hen to Select Seed Potatoles - . —The' best time to select seed potatoes is when they are dug. As soon ns they‘arc bror/glit to {he surface and lie spread! oW tho ground the best pan be selected with loss difficulty than at any other tlm'o. Those that are perfectly matured a'nd 1 of gooff shape, h’avin'g the marked characteristics of tho variety and av erage size, should be selected for seed, in preference to thos'e of any other qualities.— They should then be placed in boxes or bar : refs and kept where they will not be injured by freezing or by warmth'. If seed potatoes are saved in this mann'or for a few years in succession, we have no doubt a decided inf provemont will bo observed in the yield as well as in the quality. Gambling. —Let every young marf Svoid ■all sorts of gambling a's bo would poison. A pdbr man or boy should not allow himself to toss up 1 for a half-penny, for this is often the’ beginning of a habit of gambling, and this ruinous crime creeps on by sloW degree's.— Whilst a man is minding his Work ho' is playing the game he is sure to win„ A gambler never makes any good use of mtancy even if he should win. ifo only gambles the mofe; and he is off eh te'mptocf to Commit crimps for which his life' is forfeited to his country, or perhaps he ppta an end to his miserable existence. If a J gambler losses ho injures himself, if he wins'he injures A com panion or friend. And could any honest man enjoy money thus obtained 7 O” Waterfalls have gone out, and ere suc ceeded, by three braids, of three ply each, entwined at the back of the head, and sur riibiinted By an - aureola, such as is seen around the beads of old paintings of the Madonnas.

Stevens was, on the other -hand, a loyal man, and that when Stephens was locked up, the true man was imprisoned, and.tho rascal sand traitor meaning Stanton-—was loft on the outside. Wo regret our space will not allow, us to give his speech entire, hut must ho content with the •crmoltiding portion ; “Xtis.thrown up to .ua that tho present is, a rebel Democratic iqdvemeat. does not scare me. I have fought side by side with Democrats during the last four years, and .would rather keep company with them than with those who were rebels at first and turned Radicals aftpwards because the emoluments of office lay in that direction. “ Gen. : Sherman is * fair illustration of what radicals can do. After his great cam paign, which resulted in the overthrow of tho rebellion arid the salvation of; the country, Stanton sought to destroy him because ho feared that he himself might bo overshadowed by tho worthy fame of, the great ommandor. It was the' Radical Directory of Prance ro-' calling the victorious Napoleon. He return ed to-cover his enemies with’ eternal shame. t “ I am asked whab-i will do with the no- gross?

With proper inducements there would he ho more'difficulty in finding colored emigrants than there was in finding settlers for the gold fields of California.” Montfomeryßlilr Again. A mats.meeting of the citizens of Talbot county, Md.,-.who; are opposed to tho registry law and to negro suffrage, was held in Easton on tho 18th ult. Tho'following letter from tho. Hon. Montoomerf Blair, {Lincoln’s Post- Master General,) wo? road: , Washington, Oot. 8, 1865. Gentleheni- Your invitation to attend tho mass meeting of the people of Talbot on the 17th inst., came to hand this morning. I re gret that engagements to speak in .the State of New York, commencing next week, and _ta_£Ontinua_probably_beyond—tho-timo-for your meeting, prevents me from promising to be with you. If. it is in. my power to be present, I will certainly avail myself of the occasion to meet tho'people of Talbot. The attempt to disfranchise our people is but part of the scheme of the Northern Rad icals to disfranchise tho South. But I have no fear that tho Maryland toadies to this am bitious and revolutionary party will meet with any countenance from our people. — Whilst the war raged and this precious crew rioted in . public plunder, it waa possible to deceive the loyal people by tho cry of “ Cop perhead” upon every man who asserted the Constitutional rights of the people of Mary land and Southern States as States in the Union. But the time has come for a settle ment with a gang of scoundrels who availed themselves of the public difficulties to perpe trate unnumborod crimes against tbe rights of person and property in our State. These crimes were all thi) more atrocious because they brought odium, upon'tlie cause of the Union, yet tbe public mind was too much oc cupied with the great cause,' d’nd they had too great a hold on., the. Departments, to fix publio attention upon: the perpetrators- But they are not forgotten,'nor will the Registry law save them. Its' ostensible purpose is - to punish rebels, but Its real object is to screen from punishment the lawless men, who un der the cover of transcendent loyalty, have really boon the greatest offenders against the cause of tho Union. Yours truly, M. Blair. Tb'e Issues or the . Day. —There are a number of issues now before the people of the United States; but the throe most,im portant and loading questions, which must soon be decided oneway or the other, may be briefly sum'm'ed up as follows: 1. Shall we piyo to the negro race the right to vote,.and thereby acknowledge its fight tc demand a' social and political equality with the white race ? ' 2- Shall we tolerate’ and defend a discrimi nation in favor of the capitalist in levying taxes to pd'y die national debt ? 3‘. Shall \fo oiicoui-ngo tin opposition by Congress tq the foWrnnf the Sou thorn States’ into the Union, on. tho terms embraced in I resident Johnson’s plan of ro-iVnion or re construction? Tho Republican party everywhere takes the affirmative on these questions.’ The Do mooratio party takes the negative. In other words, the Republican says i/cs to' all theso propositions—tho Democratic ’party sky a no. Let the people choose between them. That’s It. —ln an article upon “ Radical ism in a Quandary,” the Cleveland Plain dealer settles the position of the Democracy and’ the President, and lays out the Rads, in the following brief and pungent sentence's i' “ We do not clilim' him as our [mart, nor aVe we to be committed to his unconditional dhppbrt. We shall not stop to bandy words with small politicians ns to, whether Mr. Johnson has comedo u's, or we have gone to Mr. Jtthnaon. It ip enough for us to kh'bw that ho is the uncompromising foe of red mouthed radicalism, rind' enough for us to bo liCtfo that he is tpo wise to bo subservient to their Wishes, and too firm' to be turned from his purposes by their, baleful influence.” H®'Emerson Etheridge, it is stated, has been acquitted of the charges preferred against him before a' military commission at Columbia, Kentucky, and that ho is now at his home in Drosdeh, Tennessee. He should immediately bring an’action against the com mission for damages', ahd show that the whole proceedings against bim were maliciou's ahd illegal. Hon. Charles A.
