The Latest Discovery. —T'he latest dis
covery whlofi Hris boon mado, is a new plan
et, which adds a hew feature to many dis
coveries already made, but while astrono
mers .are observing everything appertaining
to their interest, the ladies of and
vicinity say that they have discbves'od the'
Latest Star, and are not to bo outdone by ■
anybody. 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,:

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

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

tine of the largest and most enthusiastic
popular meetings over held in Rolla, Mis
souri, convened in that place on the 18th
mlt., tlio object of which was to indorse the
policy of Johnson, to hoar testimo
ny against the iniquity of tho now Constitu

carry out those principles, both in tho Na
tional and State Governments. .'Gen. Prank
P. Blair was tho principal speaker 'upon tho
occasion; who cnchalfleu f tlid vast assemblage
with his brilliant bursts of eloquence. ( He
pitched hot shot into tho ranks of the Radi
cals, denouncing the abomination's of tho so
called new.. Constitution, opposing confisca
tion, diafrnnchiamen'.t, and negro suffrage,
■ami heartily endorsing the restoration policy
ot President Johnson. lie stated that'©! one,

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

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.

Those “ soldier vote returns ” show patent
frauds. The ballots tsrt’ hot folded ; the eh

just in time to come to Philadelphia for tho

Fraud on fraud, utter contempt for the ;
rights of the people, insolent and audacious
disregard of the plainest principles of honesty
and even prudence, mark this last effort of 1
tho Republican parry to defeat tho will of the
people. Men of Pennsylvania, afq you 1 con
tent supinely to permit such ou'tf Ages to pass,
unrebuked, on the sacred fight of the ballot.
Hen of Pennsylvania, are you' willing by
your want of interest in the fate of your
country and its institutions, its free govern
ment, its free elections, to give up your man
hood and political rights to the Republican
party, which cheats for power and commits
frauds for place.
Rise up. men of Pennsylvania, organize at
onoo, either clubs or societies or meetings, to
Iprctoot the free ballot. Begin at oned. Como
'together, young men, to save your system’ of
government from destruction by frauds of the
Republican party Domerabor what if cost
your’fathers to establish a free government,
the right to’vote, arid tho purity of tho bal

to destroy nil and yo u stand idly by ? Awake !

over the hills and valleys of Pennsylvania—
A FREE BALLOT—A FAIR VOTE—AN HONEST

The Thanksgiving Proclamation.— lt' is

of a statesman and good citizen. It is, more

Horrible Murder in Baltimore
Baltimore, Oct. 29.—A horrible murder
was committed here to day, about nbon', iu
the photographic establishment of If. B.
Grove, in Baltimore street, adjoining the of
fico of the Sun. The proprietor was found
about one o’clock, lying upon'the floor of His
operating room, dead, with - a pistol shot in
the back of his head'. His person had been
robbed of his Watch, and other valuables by
the murderers'. Parties in the adjoining
building testify fo having hoard the report of
a pistol about noon.- No olue has yet been
obtained as to wji'o committed the murder.
The murdered' man, Grove, came hero from
Carlisle, Pa.
If is believed the murderer shot his victim
whilst the latter was preparing to take a pic
ture for him.
The young man murdered was a .son of
our fellow-citizen, Mri H. H. Grove;- He
had been' in Baltimore for the last two or
fhrflel months, pursuing his business quite
successfully. He has been cut down by the
assassin in the bloom of youth, and at a time
when the future appeared bright to'him.- He
was a genial and clever companion and a
most faithful and dutiful son.' AVe sincerely
sympathize with tho afflicted parents.
