AprzartsE.—lrow oen persons engaged in
business expect to prosper if they do not let
:the public i:1131V what they aro doing?
Those desiring to make purchases, will, of
.course, go where they know articles which
they wish arc for sale. As well might a
blacksmith attempt to make a 'watch, or a
white . sMith a horse-shoe, as for a merchant
or -antraufaeturer to Andeavor to succeed
without advertising. All should be aware
that using a small space in the columns of a
newspaper in stating the business in which
they are engaged, is the readiest and cheap
est way to obtain customers. It is an unde
niable fact that princely fortunes have been
made in this way, whilst many of those he
,longing to the "old fogy' school have scate
13- realized simple interest on their invest
ments. It is a mistaken notion that the
money paid for advertising is "just so much
thrown away," and those who act in accord
ance with that belief, are "penny wise and
pound fooli,b." Let busbies men consult
their interests by trying the experiment of
advertising. It will cost them but little.
Germantown Tetegrapit sensibly
remarks, that using the slang terms of Abo
i tionikt, Loco Foco, Black Republican, Dark
Lantern, &c„ in respectable journals, is
in very bad taste, and should be discounte
nanced. Politielan , , as a class, do not stand
on such elevated ground as to be above
the daily application of terms having. a ten
dency to lessen them in public estimation.
When the occasion calls for it, we like to see
strong, entlihatic, and truthful language in
t-lifted in, without mincingor hair-splitting.
the truth and the facts uttered in a frank,
homely speech, carry a warrant with them.
But nothing betrays a vulgar pen, and a
mean, concealed attempt to injure, more
than the habitual use of degrading names ,
and phrases applied to parties, sects r.
There may at times, be occasion to use terms
familiar to the public, to designate divisions,

Pacific. The Ponce Conference * at Paris,
had held threemeetings, Count Waleski, the.
French minister presiding, but nothing def
inite had transpired: Rumors, both of apt
' vrable and unfavorable tenor, were abutiel
ant, though the general impression still pre
railed that peace would be the reset, of the
Conference, and that after peace had been
fully consummated a general Congress of na
tions would be called to adjust the balance
of power. Russia, it was rumored, had con
ceded the required limitation of territory,
and agreed to the destruction of Sevastopol,
Bomarsund, and Nicolaielr, but after grant
ing so much of practicalimportance was ob
stinately bent on retaining her shadowy pro
tectorate over the Greek Christians. Re
newed expressions of uneasiness were find
ing vent in England at the partiality to
wards Austria Misplayed in France, and a
triple league between 'France, Austria and
Russ'aconte nplated as pot si'de. This, how
ever, nias be, and probably is, nothing more
than the result of a discontented feeling
arising in England from the inferior part
she played in the war, and the demi
ance of French inilnenee in the Peace Con
ference. in England the excitement in
reference to the United States had become
thoroughly exhausted, and reason having

Lxerunr..—We are gratified to have the
pleasure to announce a lecture by Dr.
liam Elder, of Philadelphia, in the Odd Fel
; lows' Hall, this (Saturday) evening. Dr.
Elder is no ordinary lecturer; he deals in
profound truths, irresistible arguments, and
advances his ideas—generally new to his
hearers—with a clearness and force that
marks his as one of the few original minds
of the day. Those who heard him in Lam
cater, a few weeks ago s were highly mratii
lied as well as astonished at the skill die
; played in his reasoning, and pronounced the
etEF-rt a brilliant one. We doubt not the
llall will be crowded this evening. The
Dr's subject will be "Skilled Industry," one I
in which the great mass of people are inter
ested. This may be the only opportunity
our citizens will ever have of hearing a lec
ture from this gifted orator, and those who
have it in their power to attend yet slight
or neglect it, will miss a rare intellectual en
tertainment, if they do not regret its loss
long as they live.
Se-IV° witnessed from our office window
on 'Wednesday afternoon, a' reneontro between
arni they walked cozy as two woodchucks,
up Front street,
,till nearly opposite the
Bellevue Ifonqe, when any body with half
an eye might have perceived that a sudden
revolution had taken place iii their mutual
relations. "Phil' Shea," oric of,the belliger-
OntS, quickly asq.imed a grandly hostile at
titude, but his short friend, 11 a series of
rapid movements, succeeded in out-flanking
him, dealing at the same time several well-
directed volleys, which soon haul the effect
of placing Mr. Shea hors-de-combat. The
distance was too great fur us to ascertain
whether the "parole" mmal among "the
fancy" was given for a parley, but a cessa
tion
of hostilities did take place—Phil's
friend going off northwardly in a huff, whilst I
Phil' himself, after slinking the slia , h of the I
kennel from his robes, danced a grand "rig
adoon" to the Washington House opposite
and return, apparently highly gratified with
the result.
wsy-The night passenger train of can,
tine at this place yesterday morning at 2,40
A. M., ran off the track about a mile below ;
Lancaster, in consequence of the breaking
of the axle of the locomotive or a rail, or both.
which caused a detention of several hours.—
We understand that four passenger cars
were completely demolished. There were
us er one hundred and fifty passengers in the
train. and what is most remarkable is that
none of them were injured. Inconsequence
of thi , accident, the way train from Harris
' burg. ye , terday afternoon, was behind time
several hours, the destruction of the cars
rendering. it voce=.m•y to procure others
Ss-We would call the attention of those '
xvishing a first-rate Ambrotypc, to the ad
vertisement of Shepard & Cu., found in to-1
day's paper. Those beautiful pictures have
more richness of tone, and truthful and life
like appearance than any other style or
kind of picture. But what is still more de
sirable fur a truthful likeness of a friend, is
that they du not fade. being hermatically
sealed between two glasses. so na to entirely
exclude air, acids and all other corroding
agencies—in fact, they are indestructible,
and will appear young, truthful and beauti
ful when the original has gone the way of
all time.
C 111IXF.T WArm, S.o.—We incite attention
to the advertisement of John Shenberger, in
to-day's paper. lie has constantly on hand
a large assortment of furniture, and makes
to order, in a superior manner, any 'article
in the line of business which may be called
for. His facilities for doing business arb.l
such that he believec . purelinsers call] tali it
to their interest to favor him with 'an tally
call.
lel-The weather has moderated consider
, ably within the past few days, and should it
continuo so for a short time, we may expect
the ice on the river to pass off quietly. In
the course of a few weeks at most, we shall
again have a fine view of the bosom of the
Susquehanna," coating rafts in abundance.
'With it our town will be enlivened by the
presence of "lots of strangers" from sip the
river.

"Dr PLOM AT lc DIPPICV LTIF - .—lnfurrnation
was received by the last steamer from
Europe, of a misunderstanding , between Col.
Jackson, onr Ministor'Resident 'at Vienna,
and the Austrian Government. A correc,-
pondent says:
"The misunderstanding has been caused
by the rarest and imprisonment of an Amer
ican citizen named Spear, who after seven
months close confinement, during which be
was not permitted to communicate in any
way with even his minister or consul, was
tried on the 31st March, 1854, by a secret
and unknown tribunal, convicted of treason.
and sentenced to ten years' labor in irons in
the trenches at Therisienstndt, in Bohemia.
Mr. Jackson, on the - 4th of February, de
manded a properly certified copy of the tes
timony said to havo'been used in the con
viction of Spear, and informed Count Buol,
in his note that unless he received an affirm
ative reply within four. weeks, he should at
the expiration of that,time, withdraw from
a court where he could no longer remain
with honor to his tuntry or advantage to
its citizens. As th re is no probability that
the desired answer will be forthcoming, or
I that any testimony really existed against
the man, Mr. Jackron may be expected to
leave Vienna shortlY after you receive this. -

EDITORIAL GLEANINGS.

TINKERING WITH xrce,Passs.- 7 -Some mem
ber of the New York Legislature, has intro- .
duced into the Assembly a :bill to prohibit
thepublication of anonymous letters in news
papers. To enforce this law, it would be
requisite for every pulAsher to affi.x the full
names of writers of letters- Ia many cases
this would operate to prevent timid and unob
trusive - -people from communicating to the
public valuableinformatien. The system pro
posed by this New York bill is analogous to
that established in France, though not so
general in its application. There, ever3r.ar
tick, letter, essay, etc., appearing in a news
paper, hail to be
: accompanied by the real
name of its author. By this means a news
paper is stripped of its impersonality. The
essays in its editorial space assume only to
be the expression of individual sentiment,
and not the reflex of public opinion, or the
the voice of reason, justice or good taste.
A MAGAZINE OF DEArn.—The grounds be
longing to the United States Arsenal, at Ba
ton Rouge, La., embrace an area of twenty
seven miles. In the three magazines there
are 30,000 pounds of powderand 9000 rounds
of cartridges for small arms and cannon.—
The storehouses contain 35,000 muskets,
rifles, carbines and pistols; 2500 sabres, 100
cannon, 600,000 cannon balls and shells, 30-
000 pounds canister, and accoutrements for
100,000 men. The total value of the land
and buildings with contents, is over $61,-
000,000.
is recorded as a fact that an engi
neer on ono of the Eastern Railways, on ap
proaching a sixteen fuot draw, with his en
gine, tender, a baggage car and two passen
ger cars, at the rate of forty miles an hour,
and discovering to his horror, when within
a quarter of a mile of it, that the draw was
open, instantly realized that to break up in
time to stop was absolutely impossible, and
"opened wide,". rushing over the gap at the
fearful rate of SO or 00 miles an hour, with
his train, safe and sound. Somewhat of a
leap, that!
Ilt-a-Henry Heine, the greatest of the Ger
man poets after Goethe and Schiller, and by
far the greatest and most brilliant among
German prose writers, died in Paris on the
15th February, where he had resided for
many years, an invalid and an exile.
MturAirr R 10T.—Fifteen U. S. soldiers,
at San Antonio, Texas, went to a fandango
on the evening of the 17 ult.. armed with re
volvers, commenced a riot, and as the Mar
shal and a posse of citizens attempted to ar
rest them, several shots were fired. Five of
the soldiers were arrested and lodged in pris
on.
Tux Pool Ifonsts.—The horses in New
York have suffered beyond endurance, in
consequence of the impediments occasioned
by snow. The Spirit qf the Times says that
no less than nine hundred were killed or
died in that city during the late snsw season.
