ItEronot4rinw.—Tom Hyer, the great
prize fighter, has positively refused to meet
his challenger on any conditions. The bru
tal system of prize-fighting cannot be too
earnestly discouraged, and it is creditable'
to one who has been a winner in the ring to
take such a stand. It shoves an improved
conditk of the individual and of popular
opinion.

rQr,A. man named James Milligan in the
employ of Messrs. Baker, llillis Co., of

on his return from Chester river to MN re-de

his lime boat intu the water to secure a
Knell skiff that had ;;)t. 100 , ,e from the lime

swi:niner, but as he sank immediately, and
did n appear again, it is supposed he wa.
taken with eratnp, in the water. lie was
ablut 30 pars of age, a steady and indus

two years. What made it still more distress
his wife was on the boat at the time,

"THE cEcrLIA AGAIN,"
Under this headappearsaccialmanication
in this syeelEs MaTietti4m, in Answer to Phil
libeg, of the 4.. y of Saturday, 23d inst., in
which K., in alluding to "Card of Thanks,"
says—"we her he will'Y•emain easy under
the glare of tis editorial sun 11,n4 not be
blistered by the intensity of . tl3 !Us?
However sublime the opposition and
phraseology of this paragraph, we respect-'
fully decline the inuendo, if intended to hit
as. Our remarks in regard to the matter
were confined to the brief editorial notice of
last week, and were entirely conciliatory in
their character. We were never ambitious
to quarrel about little things or kith our
amiable neighbors. We much rather pre
fer to dwell together - in unity. •"[,- l ard of
Thanks" is perfectly able to defend himself,
and would have acted a further his part in the
bills, but on consultation with ourself, wisely,
resolved it would not be for good. Our other
correspondents, '•l'hillibeg" and " Flute,"
agree to ,differ with us. We grant an open
expression of popular sentiment always, and
hope the "blisters" will not seriously affect us
in ease the editorial Ella should shine too
brightly.
As we stated last week, we believe the
difference is the result of a misunderstand
ing and hope the contest;will not end in a
meeting at the "Clifton House, Niagara Falls,
on the Canada bide." In that case the pen
alty would be too severe. Our friends on
both sides would do well to see that no se
rious consequences ensue.
K. is also wrong in attributing the com
munication, signed "Philtihog," to a gentle
man now absent from this neighborhood,
and who, we believe, does not concern him
self aboat(lic important issue. The writer
of that artiele—"Phillibeg"--(which by the
way, is a beautiful signature) desires us to
say that he is willing to father his own lit
erary bantlings and does not desire the creel•
it to go to the account of anybody else.
A MANLY CARD
We cordially unite in the sentiments,
prefixed to the following card, uttered by
the editor of the Germantown Telegraph:
We cannot refrain from laying before our
readers the following card which appears
in the advertising columns of a city cotem
porary, from the long established and well
known silk house of Morris L. Hallowell &
Co. It is worthy of their position and their
manhood, and they will be honored for the
stand they hare taken, wherever there exists
an honorable men or a breath of freedom;
while the craven, cringing doughface, with
no more honesty in his heart than in his
professions l will be despised and spit upon
by the very men to whom he would sacri
fice everything valuable in life and in death,
for their"countenance and their custom.
CARD.—We have been informed by a large
number of our southern customers that sys
tematic and pertinacious efforts are con
stantly made to deprive us of a portion of
our trade, by appeals to the prejudices of
buyers, on the sc..re of unsound political
sentiments of some of the members of our
anon.
We therefore fe-I it a duty we owe to our
selves and the cutnuu community in
which we reside, to publicly declare that
we have no apologies to make for our opin
ions, and that we will continue, as ever, to
hold and express just such sentiments as
our consciences and convictions dictate,
without reference to the supposed views of
customers, and in especial contempt of that
class of dealers in our city who ••sell their
principles with their goods."
In this connexion it is but justice to a
large majority of of our Southern friends,
to state that they thoroughly appreciate and
heartily despise that cringing servility
which seeks gain by insincere professions
of devotion to southern institutions, or in
the less manly, though more discreet, form
of inuendoes as to a neighbor's sentiments.
If after this there are any who desire to
know our views before purchasing from us,
we can best reply by embodying in this
note an extract from a letter written by us
some months since, which will explain it
self. . .
The members of our firm, entertaining n
wide difference of views on various topics
and as many opinions ou the slavery ques
tion as there are members of it, are fully
united on one point, namely, that where any
one presumes to demand, as a preliminary
to purchasing from us, that he shall know
our opinions on Slavery or any other moot
ed question in religion or politics, he shall
be informed, as we now tell you, that lie
cannot purchase from us for cash or upon
any terms, until he shall have amply apol
ogised for the insult.

THE STATE AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
1 The list of premiums offered by the State
I
Agricultural Society, for their exhibition in
September, at Pittsburg, is liberal to all
branches of agricultuntl product ur ingenuity,
and the 71ffair promises to be one an n usual ex.
tent, notwithstanding that in October, the
Uni-ted States Agricultural Association pro
pose to hold one at Philadelphia, which also
promises to be largely attended. The usual
blunders of management are beginning to
appear, and among them we note that James
Gmr^n, Esq., President of the Pennsylvania
Society, is out in a card, stating that he is
nut J. Gowan, a Secretary of the U. S. So
ciety; and Mr. Gowen says he has "on I,ev
eral ocemdons and in several instances of
late, been addressed by individuals who
supposed me to be managing to give eclat
to the United States Exhibition. I deem it
proper to date thus publicly to my friends
in Pennsylvania, on individual account, as
well as on account of my position us Presi-
Aent of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural
Society, that I neither take part in or sym
pathize with any efforts promotive of the
show to come off in the name or Agriculture
at Powelton.."
Our friends who have business with either
Society, will do wall to keep this confound

gratifying news to all their friends; (and we
are nut acquainted with any individuals who

notice that he can continue his "practice"

&AVERY IN OREGON. -A correspondent of
the New York Times, an abolition paper,
says:
"There is a large Missouri population
here, and occasionally a negro is seen among
them. And in one instance a girl has
changed hands twice. In the second in
stance she was, it is reported, sold for $3OO.
There are intelligent and prudent people in
'Oregon who honestly declare their convic
tions that there will be a tremendous strug
gle to legalize slavery in this Territory yet.
And unless a change of Administration
should occur at Washington, all the influ
ence of the general government will go to
favor the movement. The writer has been
a resident of Oregon for eight years, and
during that period he has beard government
officials, and appointees of the President, ar
gue earnestly for the introduction of slavery
*nto Oregon. And if pro-slavery sediments
prevail in Kansas, then Oregon will be the
next field for the propagandists to pounce
upon. It will probably be some, years be
fore Oregon will be a State."
A NOVEL PROCEEDING.--00 the 21st inst.,
R,T. Stewart, Esq., presented the petition
of Dr. J. B. Dunlap, of this Borough, to the
Orphans' Court, then sitting, praying said
Court for permission to adopt a female child,
about one year old, which the Dr. has had
in his care and keeping for several months.
The Court, after examining the matter,
granted the prayer of the petitioner, and de
creed that the child should assume the name
of the adopting parent, and have all the
rights of a child and heir thereof, and be
subject to the duties of such child.
This proceeding is under an Act of As
sembly, passed May 4, 1855, and is the first
of the kind in our county. It creates the
same relations between the adopting parent
and child that exist between parents and
their immediate offspring.
The child, we hare learned, has since been

of Normal school teachers, at Springfield,
Rev. Mr.,Ormiston, of Toronto, said that the

and about fifty separate or Roman Catholic.
There are, paid opt in salaries to teachers,
8700,000 annually, and the total expenditure

TIM ARMY BILL AND THE
The refusal of the House of Congress to
pass the Army Bill, is likely to produce
very serious consequences to alarge number
of workmen employed in the various gov
ernment establishments. At the National
Armory, at Springfield, the superintendent
has been compelled to discharge all the
workmen, about tvvo hundred in number,
for want of appropriations to pay them. All
the other government establishments acting
under the war department, will probably
have to be shut up, not only taking the
bread out of the mouths of thousands, but
depriving a large number of respectable
women who are employed in this city at
"soldiers' work" of the only means they
have of making a living. About fifteen
raiiiions of dollars which wculd be distrib
uted among the industrious working popu
lation of the country, will be shut up in the
public treasury by the action of the House
of Congress.
ST. Pier, MISNESOT.I.—St. Paul with
eight or nine thousand inhabitants, does the
trade of some eighty thousand people. Her
external trade is transacted by sonic dozen
wholesale and commission houses, whose ag
gregate accounts per year is not less than
$3,000,000, and probably much more. One
firm alone, J. W. Bass & Co., does a business
of $600,000. Her local trade affords employ
ment to 150 establishments in different
branches of merchandise, of these 25 deal
exclusively in groceries, 13 in dry goods, 15
in iron and hardware and 15 in clothing,
&c., &c. An average of fifty steamers per
week (except in the lowest water) are em
ployed in transporting her freights. Her
total business in merchandise, sold per year,
is estimated at no less than between six and
seven million of dollars. In 1850 it was
$131,000 all told.

the Lo.maritine subscription goes on quietly,
and had brought in something like 400,000 f
—about sBo,ooo—a very high-figure fur
France, or any other country. The sum
would hare risen much higher, but some one
pointed out that the distresses of the poet
could not be very great, as, wholly independ
ent of any private property he may possess,
he is in the receipt of upwards of $15,000
annually from the gift made him by the Sul
tan, and for the use of his name by two Paris
journals. With the sum of $BO,OOO cash
in hand, the sum of $15,000 annually, to
gether with the possession and daily exer

might be able to extricate himself from his
difficulties.

Stetson, Jr., is performing the feat on Bos
ton Common, under a mammoth tent, of run
ning or walking, as he may please, GO miles
per day, in twelve hours, for six successive
days, on a wager of $5OO. A single dash of
500 yards, for $l,OOO, catch weight, came
off over the Union course on Thursday, be
tween Saldina and Little Sime, the Jersey
Jumper. The race was run in 24:1 seconds,
and the judge decided that it was a dead
heat. The stakes were then drawn. A sec
ond race for $l,OOO a side was then made,
and won by the Saldina by about three
lengths. It was run in 251 seconds.
DEATH' OF A PAST Hosst.—The Milwaukie
Wisconsin tell?of a horse that recently died
in Oregon, 111. He was very ugly, and
would not be harnessed; under the saddle
he could make extraordinary time. He
could pass over 112 miles in 12 hours. His
usual time, from Oregon to Rockford, 25
miles, was two hours. The doctor who
owned him, and who alone could ride him,
has been heard to say, that during six years
past, he has ridden him upwards of twenty
thousand miles, and that during all this
time he was never known to trip or stumble,
so as to arrest the rider's attention. He
was savage, because he was formerly a wild
horse on the plains of Arkansas. •
A WEALTUY .llcoona.—A female beggar
by profession, named Gamier, has just died
at Troyes, France; and, to the great surprise
of all those who had been accustomed to re
lieve the extreme misery which she appeared
to be laboring under, on examining her
room there was found a large supply of
household linen in excellent condition, about
2,000 francs in cash, and bonds and securi
ties amounting in value to about 10,000
francs.
erns von CHOLIC, CHOLERA, on DESEN
TERE.—A friend sends us the following re
cipe as n certain cure for either of these
complaints:
Take of Spiced Rhubarb 1. oz.; Ginger
oz.; Paregoric, 3 oz.; Camphor, 3 oz.; Lau
danum, 3 drachms.
Mix well together, and give to an adult
one teaspoonful every fifteen minutes; and
to a child from 10 to 15 drops—in sugar and
water.
Tux Losr CABLE.—The brig Ellen arrived
at New York on Tuesday morning, from
Sidney, bring the submarine telegraph cable,
lost from the James Adger, and lately re
covered. The brig Ellen, it will be remem
bered, was chartered by the New York,
Newfoundland, and London Submarine Tel
egraph Company, of New York, to go in
search of this cable. The cable is in excel
lent condition, and together weighs about
two hundred tons it is a 1.1. inch cable, with
with three copper wire conductors insulated
in gutta percha. A portion of the cable, pre
vious to the departure of the Elan from Sid
ney, was taken to lay across the Gut of Canso,
and has already been laid. The residua of the
cable will be used for similar purposes,
where subMarinecables are required across
channeltrand' rivers. A - cable has already
been laid where the present cable was origi
nally intended to be laid.
EXTRAORDINARY ELOPERENT.—The Athens r
(Ala.) Herald of Bth inst., relates that on the
25th July, John E. Townsend, of Madison
county, eloped with the step-daughter of his
overseer, taking with him, as is supposed,
cash funds to the amount of over $lOO,OOO
belonging to the estate of his uncle of which
he was co-administrator, and $35,000 or $40,-•
000 in drafts obtained from commission
houses in Huntsville. lie also contracted
sundry debts. The only object which is
supposed could influence him to abscond,
is the woman. He was not in debt; the es
tate which he left behind is worth nearly
$120,000, and he was prospective heir to a
property estimated at $200,000, besides oth
er legacies. He has a wife and family.—
Attachments have been levied on his proper
ty to the extent of $120,000. It is not
known which way he has gone.
Smoi JEWELRY.—Over four hundred men
are employed in four establishments in the
town of Attleborough, Mass., and its imme
diate vicinity, in manufacturing, from heap
materials, ologant articles of jewelry. So
famous has become that locality for this spe
cies of ornaments, that we find workers in
precious metals distinguishini, the alloy, rul-
garly known as brass, by the more quizzica
term of "Attleborough." Making cheap im
mitations of aristocratic metallic ornaments
was commenced in this country about the
beginning of the present century, and has
now become a quite important branch of the
mechanic arts. Steam and water-power are
extensively availed of, in addition to the
comparatively large number of human hands
daily at work in supplying this great neces
sity both of barbarism and civilization.
Swiss Elf to RATION.—The emigration fever,
which has subsided in the last two years, in
Switzerland as well as in Germany, has this
year received a new impulse from the favor
ite accounts received from the United States.
A considerable number of Swiss emigrants,
mainly from the western cantons, have
started for lowa, Illinois and Wisconsin
since Spring. Quite a number of colonies
from the French cantons have located them
selves in Algiers, where they have enjoyed
the especial protection of the government of
ficials, and are said to be well pleased with
their new home. Societies are also on the
eve of depaaturo to found colonies in the
Central American States, especially in llon
duras and Costa Rica—the latter scheme be
ing, according to rumor, under the auspices
of Mr. Squier.
