(lough lectured on Temperance, in the Pres byterian church in this place, on Monday evening last, to a large and attentive audi ence: and we only echo the popular opinion in characterizing the address as an earnest and telling plea in the cause to which tha -pcaker devotes himself. Although we cannot agree with many of Mr. Gough's ardent admirers, in ranking him among the foremost orators of the day, neither can we qualify our admiration of the force and clearness with which he lays before his hearers his effective arguments and iilustratbns, and his scientific and t•traight-from-the-shoulder manner of deal ing- his heavy blows against his antagonists. Ills picturings of drunkenness were to , the life, and well calculated to touch the feelings of his hearers, who -.rem carried eompletel2.- with the lecturer. Fur the sake of gil.ing variety and interest, we sup pose, to the atldm-s, Mr. Gough introduced several anecdotes, which he delivered in character. They were well told,with appro , pe i ate dramatic action, but we must think that the di , play of comedy marred the effect of the lecture. as did the furious gestieula tions which accompanied many of the speak er'7, declamatory efforts. g•-3r . fliii following - voice of one crying." was found at an early hour one morning this week, hipped under our door.

The Death Rattle, For the Columbia Spy A Parting Interview Ma. P.m TOR: —On last evening, at the regu lar Wednesday evening service, Mr. Arm strong, well known and highly esteemed in this community, as a gentleman of talent, education and refinement, being about to remove from Columbia to Hollidaysburg in this State, took leave of the Pastor, Session, and members of the Presbyterian Church and congregation in which he had been a Ruling Elder, with the following affecting remarkg, which some who were not present, and had not the pleasure or hearing, 'WM be glad of the opportunity of reading. The Pastor at the close of the usual reli gious exercises, stated that Mr. Armstrong, who had been with them a number of years, and had occupied the important and respon sible office of Ruling Elder in this church, was about to remove from them. Mr. Arm strong had oftea addressed them, and as he was now about to leave them. he would doubtlesi wish to say a few parting words to them, and they would be plea.ed to hear him. Mr. Armstrong then came forward to the desk, and remarked:— My Dear Christian Friends—Being afraid to trust toy feelings to any extempore ex pression of what is in my heart on this occa sion, I It hastily - thrown together a few thoughts upon paper, which 1 will ask your indulgence in hearing. I hare non- been limr year; resident among you. You have had . time to know something of rue, and 1 have learned greatly to esteem and highly to appreciate you. To many or you I tee! strongly attached: and to sever the tie that binds us, I assure you, is one of the most painful separations of my life. No where have I met with more kind ness; no where have I enjoyed mtwe pleas ant and social relations:l should, therefore, have little sensibility- indeed, did I not deep ly feel the sadness of this, perhaps, final sepa rail. m With yon, belit%el Pastor, I have enjoyed the most endeared friendship and delightful intoreoerSe. Permit me to say or you, dear sir. that, of the eminent Pastors with whom it has }teen my lot to ha,, c Loon associated, D rs . Ihillield , Be Witt and—. ; tin, none of them has been more endeared to me than yourself, My social and christian hiter course with y.at, has been of the tnot pleas ing character. Un y-our ministry I have attended with great interest, and if not with profit, it has been my own fault. None have occupied your pulpit with more aeceptanee Ui Ins than yourself: and I wish to hear toy_ testi mony- that you have preached the Gospel faithfully, clearly nod powerfully. May tlod hle,S the good seed you have here sown. Your intercourse too in toy family, has been most courteous. kind. pleasant and profitable. I leave you. sir, v, lilt deep TO gret, never anticipating being more highly favored in my association with :my other Pastor than with yourself I bid you an affectionate farewell. My vainest prayer is that tied may guide your steps, and Make you eminently useful in 11Is I nejard. With the members of the Session my in tercourse has been pleasant and harmonious. lied in Providence to take a more promi nent part in the more public exercises of the church, I have not on that account arrogated to myself any superior• merit. Your bear ing towards me has been marked by the most Christian spirit. A. old residents of this place, having claims to the distinction and respeet of the church, froin your long connection with it, your wealth and your social position, as well as front intrinsic merit, you have cheerfully and cordially ac corded to a stranger far more than was justly his , Inc. Both our official and private relations has e always beam friendly and pleasant; and I leave you, dear brethren, with heartfelt regret: you will be ever• cherished with an affectionate rememtn•anee. I bid you farewell. Cherish this little church over which the Lord has made you the spir itual overseers. As its members diminish from em:gration, marriages an] deuth, let your devotion to its int crest lie strengthened. 'Seek to prom rte by your prayers, by your eounsels, and by your :writ c elYorts, its spir itual as well as its temporal prosperity, and may Gil crown your efforts with success. And to you, the members of this church, brethren and sisters in the bord, what shall I say? I have grown familiar with your faces. in the congregation, in the soci a l meeting for prayer. and in your own hones. It is sad to think I may see these faces no more. Yaur extended hand, your friendly greeting, your pleasant converse, I mast enjoy nii more. 1 leave you for a strange place, strange faces, and strange scenes.- 1 leave you friends, to whom a four years' iotereoui se has warmly attached time, for impulintanees vet untried. And though, in a pecuniary scar•, toy situation may he im proved by the contemplated change, yet it is not too much to say, that I do not antici pate ever forming more pleasant social and church relations. I never expect to meet with kinder friends or noire agreeable com panions. My christian fellow-hip and FO dai intercourse with you all has been unin terruptedly pleasant. With those of you connected with the Sabbath School, I cannot part without ni naval, n ill, agreeable and thankful j r remembrance, your kind, coin-teens and respectful bearing-. Associated with you in the teligions instruction of the young, we have been thrown more together iu christian effort. And in you. the more youthful and interesting. and in SOme respects, the more important part of the church, 1 have felt a peculiar interest, I part with you, dear fellow teachers. with unfeigned sorrow.— : May God greatly bless and honor you, in making, yoti useful in the church and in the (1114. Be active, lie zealous, lie faithful, be not discouraged by the thinning of your ranks, but rather labor more earnestly and per , everingly and patiently in }•our high and holy vatting. I would bate greatly liked. my fellow members. had Providence permitted rue to have continued with you, and had my hones laid with yours; but God has ordered it oth erwise. lie has been teaching me—and indeed the constant changes around us tire calculated to teach us all, that here we has e no continuing, city. no abiding place.-- th is not to he our home; we are pilgrims and and strangers. We are too apt, alien comfortably fixed here, to forget that life is tinr season of diseipline, and trial, and not our permanent abode. 1 leave you now: in a few years you will leave one another; a stranger will speak at this desk, and stran f-ers will occupy these scats. S o me of you will be far hence: its other spheres of labor, and in other and new relations• Anil some, it may be of the young. lint certainly of the more aged, will soon be resting in their final resting places. In view of these solemn and momentous truths, which the Bible, and God's Provi dence unite in teaching us, 01 let us strive. through Divine graee, to be prepared for better world, where there will be no changes, no sad partings. no temptations. no trials, no sickness, 110 death; but where all will be life, and peace, and love, and friendship. through all eternity. Dear friecds, we part in body, but though sundered far, we may yet in spirit, for a reason, meet around a blood-bought mercy seat. May God bless you all, and when we have served the pur poses of His glory on earth, may Ile receive us to everlasting blessedness in heaven. These expressions of eateetu fur the Pas tor and members of the church, and regret at parting from them, were warmly and strongly reciprocated by the Rev. E. Erskine in behalf of himself and the church and congregation; and the prm.ent and continued blessing of Almighty God was invoked by him, upon Mr. Armstrong and his family. A PRESBYTERIAN.

EXPEOITIO' To THE ISTHMUS OF DARIEN. —lt will be seen from the following extract from a letter to a gentleman on board the frigate Indepndence that Assistant Surgeon attached to that ship, has made an exploration across the Isthmus, along the route whit I) Eugineer Gisborne, of Eng land, stated to he practicable for a ship ca nal. This i. the same route, too, it will be collected, Which Lieutenant Strain in a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, reported to be utterly impracticable: LNIrEO STATES. Pe/CAFE INDEPENDENCE, Bali '/'Panama, May 3, 1857. Our A.esistmt Surgeon Cantwell has just returned front an expedition he set out on nearly six weeks ago. Ire started with one man 1'1.4)1» the ship, and guides obtained from rainogana, to attempt ceossing the Isthmus at the route which Gisborne, (civil engineer, .11ngland,) 5.041 was practicable. He ascen ded the Rio '444vanne to Principe, about 30 miles. and fr aim thence started towards Cali donia lice, (rossing and recrossing the Sa y:nine river yme four times in as many hours. The eaml ry he represents as gradu ally aseendin4 fi4r the first ten miles to, he would think les; titan two hundred feet ele vation, and then appeared gradually de .eending to the Atlantic—being a level coun try, covered with undergrowth, and little or tin timber. The day before arriving at the position from which lie saw the Atlantic his guide left him, refusing, to go further. He went on without hint to within about five miles of Caladimia bay, and from a tree saw the At lantic and gorge (quebrada) which Gisborne mentions on Ids being, turned hack by the "Mindingo Indians." Ilere, suffering great 1Y for water, there being none in the vicinity, their provisions being short, and their near e'd supply twenty-four hours off, he reluc tantly turned back. I consider from eon versatlims that I hate had heretofore with Dr. Piarlt on Gisborne's route, previous to the ineffect nal attempt that Mr. Strain made at exploration, that Dr. Caldwell has settled the matter: and now all that is required is a regularly organized party to run on the route. take observations, Ste.: and the sootier the better, as tho marks that Dr. Caldwell has left of his path 71.T0 now fresh, and will pissilily be obliterated by the fall or perhaps the next spring. Washington Affairs. :dny 19.—A member of the Cabinet, to-day, received a telegraphic des patch from 3lajor McCulloch, declining the Governor.hip of Utah. He, however, expects to reach this city in the course of ten days. It iv not true that Judge Drummond has been offered the appointment in case of the refund of 'Alajor 31cCullocht but this after noon a telegraphic despatch was sent to a Western man, whose Immo is officially con cealed fur the present, tendering it to him. Recent information received in regard to the state of affairs in Utah, has caused a elionge ill the policy hitherto contemplated I,y the Government. The condition of that Territory now being such as to require ri gorous J. , easores, troops in large numbers will he sent thither, probably under the commapd of Gen. Harney. The administration is anxious to act at once in this important matter, especially in view of the late obstructions to the Judi ciary proeeodings, and the accounts so fre frently recnit ed. relative to oppressions by the Mormons, of those who du Out belong to their fraternity.

CALIrOIRAIA 'Ave.—Under this head, the Milwaukie News, gets off the following good 1:221 A gentleman in California, now "rubbed out," as the phrase is, was known as "The Lead Carrier," from having some eight bul lets in his body. Once while traveling with small party, they found no game at all, and of course knew there were Indians around. Having fasted thirty-six hours, the Lead Carrier proposed ascending the height and looking into the next valley to see whether there might be either game or In dians there. Arriving at the ridge, with only one com panion. they saw about thirty Indian fires, and about a hundred and fifty Indians, roasting elk meat. "Do you want some of that meat," said Lead Carrier. I certainly would like some," was the MEM "Wait for inc then," exclaimed the man or lead, and pushed his steed down the hill to the Indian tires. Arriving there, he neither spoke nor made sign, but looking at the meat, and Lading some ribs of elk about cooked, he dismounted, and commenced eating. "Is the Lead Carrier's scalp so fast on his head that he takes the Indian meat without asking?" demanded a chief who knew the daring man well. The Lead Carrier, who spoke the language of the Indian, putting his hand on his scalp, replied— "lf you want this bit of fur take it; there are forty-five more of us pn the hill, waiting for meat or Indian." He finished his meal, took what meat he wanted without interruption, rode off; and the Indians hastily vamoned the ranch. 11Erk. We extract the following from a sketch in Porter's Spirit, entitled "Who killed Jones' dog." Many more witnesses were sworn, but they did not throw one ray of light on the case. At last, a rough, knotty-looking spe cimen of humanity was called, known as Bill Weevil. His hands were in his breech es pockets, his mouth full of tobacco, his hair in confusion,and he occasionally hitched up his pantaloons, that had worked down so far that his shirt had bulged out between them and his vest. After the reward of ten dollars had become public. Bill had managed to get his name on the subpoena as a witness; for he knew that he was the man to "carry off the succors"—to use his language—when he was first informed of the tempting bait set before him. Bill came on with a swagger, was sworn, and took his seat, revolving his quid rapidly around his mouth. Mike Briar ranted to know if lie knew anything about that dog. "I should—rathcr--think--I did," answer ed Weevil, slowly and deliberately, looking at the ceiling, and stretching out his feet full length. ''Out with it," continued Mike. "He was shot," said Weevil. "Knowed that afore," said Mike. "Who shot hint?" Bill thought a moment. "Squire," said he, at last, "that is a sorter leadin' question —don't know 'bout a.nswerin'." " You're safe" said Bumbleton; "ten dol lars reward, and a general release of all ac tions against you," "Jest so," replied Bill. "Money on band, Squire?" "All on deposit, and gold at that:" "Who—shot—the—dog?" muttered Bill slowly. "Squire, jest let me see that 'ere money, and that other Nam-do-ye-call-it." Squire Bumblcton put the paper and mo ney into the hands of the witness. "Who shot that dog?" muttered Bill again. "Yes" roared a dozen. "Out with it—tell, or say you can't." "Wal," said Bill, "I shot him!" And the whole court-room was in an up roar in a moment—the Hoscraft faction screaming at the top of their longs. the Jones es swearing, Mike Briar sitting half paraly zed, old Dot-and-go-one stamping with his wooden leg, and Squire Bumbleton grunting and scratching his head; in the midst of which Bill Weevil "shot the pit," with his ten dollars and release of all actions. But it is a question to-day whether Bill Weevil shot Jones' dog or not. A Lion Adventure in South Africa. On our route homeward, we halted at the spot where a novel scene once occurred, and which was described by an individual who witnessed it when a boy. Near a very small fountain, which was shown to me, stood a camel thorn-tree. It was a stiff tree, about twelve feet high, with a fiat, bushy top.— Many years ago the relator then a boy, was returning to his village, and having turned aside to the fountain for a drink, lay down on the bank and fell asleep. Being awaken ed by the piercing rays of the sun, he saw, through the bush behind which he lay, a giraffe browsing at ease on the tender shoots of the tree, and, to his horror, a lion creep ing like a cat, only a dozen yards from him, preparing to pounce on his prey. The lion eyed the giraffe for a few moments, his body gave a shake, and lie bounded into the air, to seize the head of the animal, which instantly turned his stataly neck, and the lion, missing his grasp, fell on his back in the centre of the mass of thorns, like spikes, and the giraffe bounded over the plain.— ile boy instantly followed his example, expecting, as a matter of course, that the enraged lion would soon find his way to the earth. Sometime afterwards, the people of the village, who seldom visit that spot, saw the eagles hovering in the air; and as it is almost always a certain sign that the lion has killed game, or some animal is lying dead, they went to the place, and sought in vain, till, coming under the lee of the tree, their olfactory nerves directed them to where the lion lay dead in his thorny bed. I still found some of his bones under the tree, and hair on its branches, to convince me of what I scarcely could have credited. The lion will sometimes manage to mount the back of a giraffe, and fixing his sharp claws into each shoulder, gnaw away till he Tenches the vertebrae of the neck, when both fall; and oft-times the lion is lamed for his trou ble. If the giraffe happens to be very strong, he succeeds in bringing his rider to the ground. Among those that we shot on our journey, the healed wounds of the shoulder, and marks of his teeth on the back of the neck, gave us 'secular demonstration that two of them had carried the monarch of the forest on their backs, and yet come off tri umphant.—.Vissionary Journal. ONE FOR DAN PaCE.—Dan Rice, the well known clown, remitted in settlement or nn account, to the publisher of a paper in the west, a three dollar bill, which was returned trial the brief remark, "This note is coun terfeit, please send another." It was two months before lie heard from Dan again, when he apologised fur the delay, saying he had been unable till now to find another counterfeit three dollar bill, but be hoped the one be now enclosed would suit, professing at the same time his inability to discotcr what the objection was to the other, which ho thought as good a counterfeit as he ever saw. It must be admitted that Dau swept that hoard. IcoNoctAsrictsn.—Our literary critic has discovered that Coleridge's poem of the "An cient Mariner" is highly illogical, and after a careful re-perusal of it, got quite out of pa tience with the hero. "Why the dickens didn't he row ashore when he was becalm ed?" asked the critic; "he must have hnd the ship's boats at his service." Not knowing exactly what to say, yet still wishing to de fend the poem, we mildly suggested that the mariner hadn't any oars, perhaps. "Non sense" replied our critic, "what if he hadn't —the bones of the crew were lying about on the deck, and nothing would have been easier than for him to take a pair of acta/s, and go ashore at any timer' SLIERIFFAITY.-IVe are authorized to an nounce Mr. JAY CADAELL, of Lancaster, as a candidate for the office of Sheriff; subject to the decision of the 'Union County Conven tion.
