PitESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The President's Message was sent into
Congress shortly after twelve o'clock, on
Tuesday morning last. The message is
about the usual length occupied by Presi
dent pierce in his previous annual commu
nications to Congress. Our room will not ad
mit of its publication entire ; we therefore
give the following abstract, fur which we
are indebted to the Baltimore American:—
The Message opens with reference to the
Constitutional requirements which impose
I upon the President the duty of giving infitr
elation to Congress upon the State of the
Union, and in the execution of this duty he
claims not merely to express personal con
victions, but as the executive minister of the
government, is enabled by his position, and
I called upon by his official obligations to scan
with an impartial eye the interests of the
whole. and of every part of the United States.
After referring to the prosperous state of
all the material interests uf the country, and
te its advaecement in wealth and population,
the President alludes to the recent Pe+iden
tinl contest, and claims the result as an as
sertion cf the constitutional equality- of the
States and each and all of its citizens as
citizens, whatever their religion, wherever
their birth or their residence," and also as an
emphatic condemnation of all geograpithird
parties. The message then glides into a
disquisition up ,n the seetional differences c f,
the country, narrnms the successive arts of ,
indirect Aggression that haze established
and thaimained these differenees, coming
finally dPm to the re;:e.ll of the Miss: uri
Comp:in:lke and t:: the troubles in Nan , as.

in :he elve , i , e, %%eore beyond the sp'tere
of the tn•ii , e, or the the people of
the Coiled States being thenvati) es guar:
diens of their righr , in such re-peels.
The present peaceful condition of Kansa , e f:
fords the President ground for congratulat
ing the country, e-pecially as it has beet!
secured ''with int lint drop of Shod having
been shed in its neosen.,ll-:loanet by the
cf the United Stndes.•' 110 adds, thic

no act will be suffered to remain in the teat

storm the Constitution, and that Cmigress
will take all nrces.nry steps to assure to its
inhabi:ants the enjeyment, without o b,te e e.
tion or abridgement, of all the constitutional
rights, priviileges atni immubitics of citizens
of the U.:lied States, ass contemplated by tile
by the organic law of the Territory.
Passing to the financial affairs of the Gov
ernment, Congress is refeered for fuller in
formation to the report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and some items of general in
terest aro given. The receipts from the
customs for the fiscal 3 ear were Cas cr sixty
four millions of dollars, and front all sources
amounted to seventy-three millions, nine
hundred and eighteen thousand, one hun
dred and forty-three dollars. The expendi
tures, including payment of Mexican indem
nity and redemption of the public debt,
ntern - rintonnterrro .seventy-two millions, Line
hundred and forty-sight thousand, seven
hundred and ninety-two dollars. Of the pub
lic debt the sum of forty-five millions, five
hundred and twenty-live thousand three
hundred and nineteen dollars, including pre
mium, has been discharged, reducing the
debt to thirty millions seven hundred and
thirty-seven thou--and one hundre I and
twenty-nine dollars; all of which might be

itime law, as expressed by Mr. Marcy's re
ply to the declaration of the conference of
Paris, is recapitulated, and the hope expres
that its just and humane views will finally
prevail.
The settlement of our relations with the
other States of America Las been greatly
sufbana.s2ed by their distracted condition.
Mexico has nut only withheld reparation
fur past injuries but added others. Her
present condition, however, demands for
bearance upon the part of the United States.
The President dues not regard our gov
ernment as holding any diplomatic relations
with Nicaragua. Diplomatic representa
tives were sent from two contending parties,
(the Walker and Itiras governments,) but
with the imperfect information possessed it
was not possible to determine which repre
sented the government defoeto, and he has
refused to receive either.
With the republic of New Grenada w.;
have serious questions pending. The first
of these grows out of a tonnage duty impo
sed upon foreign vessels coming to her ports;
the second cut of n tat levied upon mail

outrages cwilinitted at Panama in April

The message closes with congratulations in
view of the peace, greatness and felicity
which the Union now enjoys, and with an
averment upon the p'trt of the President of
his readiness to retire into prirahi life, with

A Vim; OrrEsc:E.—A German named
Schimhir Ilannes has been speculating du
! ring the past summer in the hogs that have
died at the distilleries io the vicinity of
Easton, Pa., skinning theta and frying out
the fat, as was supposed, for chandlery pur
poses, and recently transported some of the
lard obtained from these deceased hogs to
Newark, New Jersey, and disposed of it to
the merchants of that city. Ile mas arrest
ed and convicted of the rascality, tot was
allowed to go free by the payment of a triv
ial fine, and by giving a pledge to do so no
more. The Easton Err , est, from which
these facts arc taken, thinks no punishment
too bad fur such a wretch, and few, we think
will be disnn•ed to contest the (minion.

mcir f Ay ROIIDEItr.—On Monday after
noon la', as Mr. John H. Burket was com
ing to t4is place from Marietta, on the turn
pike, he was met when about midway, by
three mtb who seized and dragged him from
his horsti, gagged, and then robbed him, he
says, of 430,00, all the money he had, and
then left him—the robbers going into a field
and up a 'ravine, where they were soon lost
sight of. The money was principally in
notes on the Farmer's Bank and one $.20
gold piece. Mr. Burket was not seriously
injured; int upon being left by the robbers.
proceeded as fast as possible to this place
and at once made complaint before Samuel
Evans, Esq., who, from information received,
supposed the robbers would go to Lancaster
in the evening train, and he accordingly
sent a warrant to "Meer Baker, of that city,
fur their arrest. Not finding them on the
arrival of that train, further search was
made, and on Tuesday morning officers Na
gle and Shields, of Marietta, who had in the
meantime gone on, found and arrested a
man named William Judy, alias Jones,
whom Mr. Burket said was one of the per
sons who committed the robbery, at the
house of Hannah Ferry, in South Queen
street.
The stolen money was found in his pos
session, and he admitted the rubbery, but
denies i thart-py other parties were concerned
with
The Everring Express says Judy is an old
of is from Marietta, and was in our
county prison about eighteen months ago.
Mr. Burka describes the other parties as
young men, about 5 feet 10 inches in height
—the one wearing a black frock coat with
black whiskers; dlic other has red whiskers.
We h.vrck heard a story in connection with
tlii-t robbery, from Which we think little fear
need Le entertained of danger in travelling
over this road. It is stated that Judy was
employed by Burket on a Canal Boat, and
that some difficulty had occurred between
them in regard to m ,ney, and this probably
led to the robbery.

plea , antly this morning, in the chapel of the
college. listening to the trial orations of the
tir't division of the Senior Class. These ora
tions were delivered by Messrs. John Ault, of
Allentown; W. A. Duncan, Cashtown; 11. IL
Gicsy, Lancaster, Ohio; J. W. Hetrick,
Chambershtzrg; D. Gaither Ifuyett, Cave
town, Md.; and Wm. Leamon, Leamon Place,
Lancaster county. The speakers all (Legit

livered in an easy and graceful style.
As this was simply an annual College ex
ercise, preparatory to the graduation of the
class at the neat annual commencement, we
forbear giving criticisms of their indisidual
v.:Torts, as we would on public occasions—
through it is due the speakers to say, they
have no cause to fear such an ordeal.
The fiiend.i of the College, and especially
those IA hu have so liberally contributed to its
endowment, will be gratified to learn that it
is in a tlourkhing condition, the Faculty hat

OUTRAGEOI.72.—We have been informed
that the prayer meeting of the E. Lutheran
Church, on Wednesday evening last, was
disturbed by the breaking of windows and
other assaults by some persons ontside, who,
if their identity is discovered, should be se
verely dealt with. The interruption of ser
vices rendered to the Almighty displays a
wicked spirit in the mind of the perpetrator,
and is altogether at variance with the heart
feeling of any honest man. We understand
the vestry or authorities of the Chuch have
determined to break up the congregations
assembling outside, at the conclusion of ser
vice, and we trust they will do so without
hesitation. We are sorry that a Church in
this place, of any denomination, should be
persecuted in such a dastardly manner.__
SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to
record the death of Mr. Peter Snyder, em
ployed at the Cordelia Furnace, near this
place, owned by Messrs. Kauffman, Shaeffer
& Co. The deceased fell from the top of
the stack. ills neck was broken and he
survived but a few 'ninnies. He was a man
highly esteemed by his employers and all
acquainted with him. He was in the thirty
third year of his age and leaves a wife and
several small children, with whom we deep

ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening last, just
after dark, a man named Peter Wolfe fell
from the "old turnpike bridge," near the
Chiques lock, and had his neck broken. Dr.
Hinkle vas called upon but found the man
dead.
S&-On Thursday of last week before Esq.
Evans, J. 11. Zearing made complaint
against J. F. Martin, for giving out foreign
notes in change for a five dollar bill. It 3p
poured that Mr. Martin had been influenced
entirely by a spirit of accommodation, but
that would not save him from the fine—half
of which the informer is entitled to. We un
derstand Mr. Martin has appealed, and the
case will be taken to Court.
EDITORIAL CIIANGE.-Mr. E. J. Pinkerton
lifts withdrawn from the Lancaster Patltfincl
er, and assumed the management of the
Lykenstown Farmers' and Miners' Journal.
Mr. Huber continues his charge of the Path
finder. To both gentlemen we wish un
bounded success.
DISTUMBANCE AT No. 3 :Mier..—ln conse
quence of the managers of No. 3 Cotton
Mill having resolved to extend the running
time of the Mill from ten to twelve hours a
day, a number of the hands refused to go to
work on Monday last, at which time the new
arrangement was to go into effect.
The dissatisfaction extended to only a few
of the hands, the majority being willing to
accede to the proposition of the managers
on the assurance that it was only a tempo
rary change, and the only practicable way
at present, by which the mill could be kept
in operation.
With this understanding, the great body
of the operatives went to work, and the mill
is now running as usual.—Examiner.
take the following from the N. Y.
Clipper. It is unnecessary to !ay that the
main circumstances are incorrect, as the
boys referred to do not "belong to Culum
dia." We hope the "correspondent" will
make the amende.
DUCKING.—A correspondent at Columbia,
Pa., sends us the following:—Sanne weeks
' ago a couple of boys belonging to Columbia,
Pat., were "putting in" Sunday, by rowing
about in the river Susquehanna. While
leisurely sculling in the neighborhood of the
bridge, they suddenly came upon a nice
flock of wild ducks, gathered behind one of
the bridge piers. Most singular, too, the
boat was within half a gun shot of them,
but the ducks failed to ol.rerre it. Oh, how
tiles:. boys did wish for Harry Myers:,,big
duck gun; but alas, wishes were without
avail; and there before their eyes, almost with
in reach, too, sat a cosy bunch of plump
ducks, as unconcerned as if they really
knew the boys had neither gun nor "pocket'
pistol . ' in the boat.
In their despair, the lads quietly sculled
ahead, merely to learn how close the pesky
things would let them come before they
would seek safety in flight. The boat grad
ually
approached, but the duck , , as if pre
sinning upon their security. gracefully sway
ed their glossy, bouyant bodies to the rip
piing and eddying current, until the biggest
b.,y with a determination to "fool 'ens yet"
carefully thew out a long setting pole, and,
watching his opportunity, dexteriously
brought it down with a splash, right in the
midst of one dozen harmless decoys.'
li e ";:j..andry's Lady's Book for January,
1557, is already upon our table. Cocky
is always prompt, showing him an excellent
man and one deserving to thrive as he does,
for his "Book" has a large circulation.
The number for January is ono of rare
beauty and excellence. We venture to say
that the engraving entitled "The only child"
has nel, er had its equal in any magazine
before. It is worth the price, of the "Book"
itself. The fashions are beautifully given
and no la ly surely will miss seeing them.
The *Troche Cushion," printed in scarlet
and gold, is a beautiful specimen of art in
itself. The contents are iu keeping with
the illustrations, and altogether it is a "be
ginning" for the new year, which if kept up
—and Godoy trill keep it up, for he never
promises but he performs also—will redound
more to the profit of him or her who makes
a three dollar investment than to Godey him
self. Terms $3,00 per year. L. A. Godey,
Philadelphia.
COTTON SEED.—The New Orleans Picayune
notices the engagement of a ship of 800 tons
to take a full cargo of cotton seed from that
port to Providence, It. 1., where the article
is to be turned into oil and oil cake. An
extensive factory for extracting oil from the
seed of cotton is already in operation in
Rhode Island, and one or two companies are
forming in Boston with the object of getting
up similar establishments there. This is an
enterprise in which the South is greatly in
terested, promising as it does, to convert an
article hitherto worse than useless, into one
of +•rrat commereial value.
ARREST OF SCSPICIOCS CHARACTERS IN
PITTSBURG.—The police of Pittsburg, on last
Tuesday evening, about 11 o'clock, arrested
two suspicious characters, who represented
themselves as Lord Arthur John Hudson
and Sir Charles Miller. Although stopping
at one of the most common taverns in the
city, they succeeded in impressing several
citizens, mechanics and tradesmen, with an
idea of their importance, and whom they
have bled to considerable amounts during
the fortnight they have been there. They re
presented that they had X. 30,000 on deposit
with a Pittsburg broker, but doubting his
stabifity they bought an expensive safe for
the security of their imaginary treasure.—
Lord John had bought a farm well stocked
fur $17,000, and the deeds were drawn up
ready for the consummation of the bargain,
when it was discovered that they were pen
niless swindlers. They werearrested in the
presence of the parson and the wedding
guests, during the progress of the marriage
of one of the parties with their landlord's
daughter.
EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.TSVO meet
ings have been held in New York City
for the purpose of agreeing upon measures
to promote a more permanent emigration to
the Pacific coast. It appears that the pop
ulation of California has actually decreased
within the last year. It is proposed to form
an association to co-operate with similar as
sociations in California and Oregon, and the
principal cities of the Atlantic slope. The
measures likely to receive attention are a
wagon road, and then a railroad to the Pa
cific, reduction of fare, and increased ac
commodation by way of the Isthmus, pro
viding emigrants with employment on ar
riving out, getting lands into market at low
prices and on favorable terms, and issuing
publications explanatory of the resources
and capabilities of the country. Nothing
definite in the shape of an organization has
yet been arrived at we believe, but the move
ment has received an impetus which is a war
rant for expecting something practical.
r,E.s;%,lteceutly there has been introduced
into the potato growing districts of Ireland
and Scotland, a machine for unearthing this
favorite esculent. In construction it is re
ported to be exceedingly simple, and with
the assistance of a good plough horse, can
be worked to advantage. Without cutting
or otherwise injuring the root, it will readily
do the work of twenty men in a day. Cul
tivators are delighted with it, and declare it
to be a great saver of time, labor and money,
It can also be used to advantage in turnip
fields. A potato digger was tried with suc
cess in this country some years since, and
we are inclined to believe that the digger
Scotch and Irish farmers favor so much is
nearly related to it.
Ma. BuCHANAN'S CABINLT. —The Lancas
ter Intelligencer gives, what we presume
may be considered a semi-official contradic
tion of the statement that Gen. Cass had
been offered the post of Secretary of State
under Mr. Buchanan. The intelligences
says that "neither Gen. Cass nor any body
else has yet been offered the post of Secre
tary of State by Mr. Buchanan, nor has he
to this hour, we have the best reason for
saying, made up his mind with regard to a
single member of his cabinet."
C.-a-In the New York Court of Common
Pleas, on the 4th inst., a decision was ren
dered which it may be well fur negligent
parents to remember. A man brought suit
against the Harlem Railroad fur the death
of a child, caused by being struck by a train
of cars. The child was two and a half
years old. The killing was adm;tted, but
carelessness was charged upon the parent in
allowing n child of such age to run in the
street. Defence sustained and complaint
dismissed.
ISPOIITANT TO BETTING MEN.—The Su
preme Courts of Ohio and South Carolina
have lately decided that the losing party in
a wager may rceover from the stake-holder
the money he may have deposited with him,
although the latter, after the determination
of the Iv ager, laid, by the order of the de
positor, paid the money over to the winner.
This decision of the Court is destined to ef
fect an entire revolution in the betting
world.
Remo' - At. or FLORIDA INDIASS.—It is sta
ted that the Secretaries of War and the In
terior have concluded an important arrange
ment fur the peaceful removal of the Semi
nole Indians from Florida. A delegation of
Seminole Chiefs from the west of the Mis
simsippi will be sent to Florida with presents
and promises of liberal grants of land.

lia" - lliolloway's Ointment and Pills are the
finest Remedies for bad legs. Francis Tom
kinson, of Ottawa, Michigan, bad the mis
fortune, six years ago, to break his leg,
which was imperfectly set by the doctor, the
consequence was, that it formed itself into
an angry wound, and despite of the various
remedies he tried, he could notget anything
to cause it to heal, and it was tented by all
who knew him, that he would be lame all
his life. About four months ago, be com
menced using Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, which soon caused an improved ap
pearance in the leg, he continued them for
nine weeks, and the leg is sound, to the as
tonishment of all who know him.
