LANCASTER COUNTT TOCCiTed,
.t.m Jute for insertion, a list of the entries for
the.coming Fair of the Lancaster County
Agricultural and Mechanical Society, that
proves the people of the county to be alive
to the advantage and importance of the ex
hibition. We regard its success as beyond
a doubt, and it will receive our most cordial
support now, and in the aery probable event
of its becoming a permanent institution.
What a grinding sound the words have!
suggestive of insufficient lubrication. And
truly the fountain that pours oil upon the
every day umehinery of trade, is either well
nigh dry, ur the head is turned off. A few
drops End their reluctant way out of the
vaults, and strong boxes, and Mucking toes,
whither the "panic" has drhen them; but,
alas! far too few fur the people to enjoy a
universal grease.
The creaking joints of nll the great man
ufacturing establishments in the country,
cry aloud for "oil! oil!" and the mammoth
motive power which a few weeks ago so
smoothly drove a myriad of wheels and
spindles, now revolves with groans and dis
mal thud; albeit it is running less than half
time, and at diminished speed.
The smaller fry of industrials give forth
the same melancholy wail, and the very
wood sawyers emit plaintive notes, not to
be silenced by ordinary bacon.
As fur ourself, the friction is tremendous.
Our joints grow rheumatic; and the erst
while "pliant hinges of the knee" would
scarcely bend to receive the rank and title
of colonel, from Governor Pollock. The
very pores of our skin decline performing
their natural functions, and have inflexibly I
suspended, awaiting legislation, before re
suming healthful payments. In the mean
time we suffer for want of nature's lubri
nuts, and are willing to resort to artificial
aid. Won't somebody grease the ptlm of
our hand? Doesn't some one need a good
strong puff, at ten cents a line?
Our exchanges come to us mourning over
the crisis in the affairs of men; each one
suggesting a favorite remedy, varying from
expansion to contraction, front retrenchment
to entire reform, from specie currency to
shin-plasters. In a like manner, each sheet
has its peculiar theory of origin, as well as
its remedial speculation. The railroads,
free trade, general banking system, stock,
gambling, crinoline, David Wilmot, the
Democratic party, and a thousand other
conflicting causes are assigned fur the
"Hard Times." The legislative &duns are
abjured, under penalty of universal repro
; bation, to relieve the pressure by a hundred
'different enactments, no one of which but
conflicts with all the others.

Hard Times
TRACK L tylso.---We notice the laborers
at work re-laying the north track of the
Penna. Railroad through our streets. This
is preparatory to running all the passenger,
as wall as freight trains, through Columbia.
We undi.rstand that this arrangement is to
be but a temporary one, but we hope that
the Company may be induced to continue
at least one train each way, permanently.—
We very much need a means of more fre
quent communication with points West of
us. By the present arrangement, persons
having business in Harrisburg are compel
led to take the accommodation train in the
evening, and remain all night, or go by the
roundabout way of Lancaster, at a sacrifice
of time and money. If the mail train West
which arrives here at 11 o'clock A. M. and,
the sau.e train East, which now connects
with our night Dillerville, were run
regularly through Columbia, it would afford
accommodation not only to our own place,
but to Marietta, Bainbridge and the line of
the branch road East of Middletown. Will
not some of our citizens try whether this in
crease in our railroad conveniences cannot
be obtained by application to the proper
powcrs?
Df.CAPITATIIIN.—We notice that the Lu
theran Church, in Second street, has been
shorn of its spire, which has been cut down
to a very clumsy looking box. We under
stand that the weight of the steeple was too
great for the support, and was gradually
crushing in the roof. Of course the proper
course has been pursued, in taking down
the spire at once, but we protest against the
retention of the monstrous wooden base, al
ways ugly, but without the redeeming grace
ful taper of the superstructure, abominable,
and not to be patiently endured. We re
spectfully entreat those in authority, if they
must have a cupola, to cause the present
wonderful structure to be so remodeled as
to give a neat finish to the church and af
ford a pleasant recreation to the eye wear
ied with architectural deformities. We are
sorry that the spire had to come down, for
though, as a whole, nothing to be very
proud of, at a distance it added very greatly
to the picturesque appearance of our town.
STORE 111PROVESIENT.—Colutribians have
doubtless noticed the great improvement
made in the building next door to Fonder
smith's store, by the Messrs. McTague. We
understand that one of this enterprising firm
contempl.•ates starting a branch or extension
of their pre,lent store in the improved build
ing, which has.been raised from two to four
stories, and other alterations made which
will render it one of the most commodious
stands in the borough. We trust that their
spirited undertaking will meet with deserved
encouragement and success.
TIIX ANGLO SAXON Rscx.—Of all the ra
ces which, at this day, occupy the scene of
the world, the most active, and that which
pusesses the greatest weight and influence,
iv unquestionably, the Anglo-Saxon race.—
Other nations may be more brilliant than
England and the united States; they may
exhibit more external glory; but, no one, if
looked at closely, can be considered so neces
sary as both these people. The Anglo-Sax
on and Anglo-American races form one of
the most important springs of the great po
litical machine of the universe; without it
would perish, or be abandoned to the con
tempt of the future, some of the most impor
t tant facts of history, and some of those mo
-1 ral notions, which are so essential to human
Without England and America, Protes
tantistn would exist no longer. Had Protes
tantism no other support than that of Ger
many, we would see it now expiring in de
lirium and in blasphemy, amidst the laugh
ter of other nations. Without the example
afforded in England, the French revolution
would not only be anetbamatized, but abets- I
doned as u ithout reason, and full of incohe
rent extravagance. Ilad it not been fur En
gland,
America would, on its discovery,
have fallen back into the barbarism in which ;
a Spanish vessel found it. It is owing to
England, that the glorious discovery of Co- C
lumbus has not proved useless, and accounts
fora great human fact, and fur a service ren
dered to moral order, and not merely a dis
covery interesting to science and cosmology.
It is England, who, at this day, prevents
nations from falling upon and devouring
one another, and who maintains the equilib
rium of the continent, by fear of having to
I measure strength with so formidiable an ad
versary, Thus her very egotism is useful,
for it protects our repose. It is site who
crosses the projects of Oriental Europe, and
says to the Sclavic races:—"Thus far shall
ye go, and no further." What a destiny!
[ler form a r d power are absolutely necessary
to the moral order of the world. Let us lay
aside all national prejudices and patriotic
pride. Many nations, of apparently more
importance, might disappear, and which
seems to be more immediately interested in
the maintainnnce ofmodern civilization, but
there is not one whose death would leave
such terrible results as that of the solitary,
the egotistical, and Independent England.

bel-Ilev. Henry Ward Beecher, depre
cating the custom of repeated services on
Sunday, says that the first service is usually
cream, the second milk, and the third milk
and water, and the last is the one that 1
usually sticks by the hearers of the three.'
A man who has n family, and goes to the'
Sunday school in the morning at nine o'clock,
to church at half-past ten o'clock, to church
again in the afternoon, and then again, per
haps, in the evening, ought to be tried for
breaking the Sabbath. If he could hear
three sermons a day profitably, he must be
an extraordinary genius at hearing. As
many men arc situated with regard to their
business, they only see their children nt n
touch and a glance; they go away before
their children are up in the morning, and
return after they have retired at night; so
that the Sunday afternoons should be de
voted to thb home duties, not in sleeping and
rending the newspapers. but in reading the
Bible to your children, conversing with and
catechising them, etc. He thinks cmt ser
vice a day quite epough, but probably that
would be considered too radical. This at
tention to so many duties and meetings a
Sabbath is really consenting it into a day of
L4ndage.

CANAL Across TUC Isvizuvs OF
Commodore DAMEN.—
Paulding, commanding the
Home Squadron, has reported to the Navy
Department the result of a "reconnoissance"
made under his superintendence of the
Isthmus between Aspinwall and Panama,
with reference to the practicability of con
structing an inter-oceanic canal across the
Isthmus of Darien. The Isthmus itself
seems to r resent no serious obstacle to sci
ence for the construction of a canal, The
whole extent from the Atlantic to the Pa- I
cific, is made up of swamps, hills, and
plains, and the highest point of land where
the railroad passes is no more than 28G feet
above the level of the sea. On the whole
route most, if not all, the hills through
which the canal would pass would be re
quired fur embankments over the plains and I
swamps; and Commodore Paulding can per
ceive no insuperable obstacle to piercing the
highest part, so as conveniently to make the
waters of the Chagres, Obispo and Rio
Grande available for the wants of a canal.
It is supposed that the canal may be united
with the waters of the Pacific on either side
of the city of Panama, and that a channel
I might be dredged to the depth of thirty feet,
' to meet the navigable waters for ships of
1 large draught. The bay then expands into
lan ample harbor, where the winds are said
never to blow with violence, sufficiently com
prehensive for the commerce of the world,
and studded with islands, convenient for all
the great purposes that the condition of
things would call for, by the construction of
a canal through the Isthmus. On the At-
I lantic side the canal would enter the Bay of
Aspinwall. According to Engineer Totten's
estimate the distance from ocean to ocean,
along the proposed line of route for the canal
is 451 miles. The river Chagres has ample
supplies of water at all seasons of the year.
ft is estimated that the cost of the canal,
including harbor improvements at both ends,
will not exceed $80,000,000. The great ob
stacle to the construction of the canal is
conceded to be the unhealthiness of the cli
mate and tLe difficulty of procuring those
-who woehl live there and be willing to labor.
Governor's Message.
Execurtve CLABBER,
llstiannuao, October G, 1857.
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsyloania, in
General Assembly met:
Gesttaussi—By virtue of the power con
ferred on me by the Constitution, I have
deemed it my imperative duty to convene
the General Assembly at this time. An
"extraordinary occasion" for so doing, as
contemplrtcd by the Constitution has arisen,
and accordingly you have been called to
gether to - take into consideration, and adopt
such measures of relief, as the present exi
gency may seem in your wisdom to demand.
A sudden and severe financial revulsion has
occurred, including a suspension of specie
payments by the banks of this Common
wealth, and in some of our sister States.—
This result, however much to be regretted
and deplored, was unavoidable, having be
come, from the operation of causes, unneces
sare now to be enumerated, a stern necessi
ty. Thus circumstanced, the community
are suffering for the want of a currency, the
destruction of confidence, and the numerous
evils consequent on financial embarrass
ment. Every department of industry has
felt and been disastrously affected by the
shock. Trade and commerce have been
paralysed. The merchant, and manufac
turer, and the mechanic have seen their
bright prospects suddenly blasted, and ma
ny have been involved in a ruin, which no
ordinary sagacity or foresight c:Aild avert.
Many of our furnaces; rolling mills, and
factories have been closed. Extensive and
valuable coal operations have been suspend
ed or abandoned, and thousands of work
men are out of employment, oppressed with
doubt and anxiety, and alarmed with the
gloomy apprehension of the future.
It is not my intention to discuss in this
communication, the cause of the present
financial difficulties and commercial ember
rasnieut. The evil is upon us. Troubles
surround us: and to relieve the community,
restore confidence and bring back the pros
perity lately enjoyed, and which, it is hoped
is but temporarily interrupted, prompt and
harmonious action, wise and generous legis
lation will be required.
The • present exigency requires and every
consideration of present and future interest
to the Commonwealth and people, would
seem to demand that the banks should he
released from the penalties and forfeitures
incurred by a suspension of specie payments;
and that such suspension Should be author
ised fur such reasonable period as will ena
ble them safely to resume the payment of
their liabilities in specie.
To force the banks into a too early liqui
dation would compel them to require imme
diate pay ment from their debtors, and would
entail upon the community the miseries of
wide spread bankruptcy and ruin; while on
the other hand, an unreasonable extension
of the unnatural state of suspension would
greatly increase the evils of an irredeema
ble paper currency. The resumption of spe
cie payments should not be postponed long
er than is clearly necessary, and the best
interests of the community may require.
The general embarrassment and depres
sion of trade and commerce, and the conse
quent depreciation of the value of real and
personal property, if permitted to continue,
will seriously affect the revenues of the
Commonwealth. The credit of the State,
now so well sustained, and so honorable to
her character, may be endangered, not by
cup impossibility to pay, but from the diffi
culty, if not the impossibility, of procuring
a medium in which payment can he made,
The faith of the State must be preserved
intact.
I therefore recommend that the banks
which may be relieved from the penalties
imposed upon suspension by existing laws,
shall be required to make a satisfactory ar
rangement with the State Treasurer, by
which he will be enabled to convert the cur
rent funds in the Treasury, and balances
standing to his credit in any of the solvent
banks of the Commonwealth, into specie, as
soon as the same shall become necessary for
the payment of the interest on the funded
debt,
And as n futher relief to the community,
and as a condition of the release of the pen
alties and forfeitures incurred, it is respect
fully recommended that the solvent banks
of the Commonwealth. which paid specie for
all their liabilities immediately prior to
their late general suspension, be required,
under such limitations and and restrictions
as may be deemed expedient, to receive the
notes of each other, continuing solvent, at par
in payment of all debts due or to become
due theirs respectively, during their suspen
sion; the bank or banks resuming specie
payments to be relieved from this condition.
For the relief of debtors, provision should
be made for an extension of the time in
which execution on judgments may issue;
and of the period now provided by law for
the stay of execution.
The issue of relief or bank notes of a less
ilenotnination than five dollars should not
be authorized, nor should the banks during
suspension be permitted to declare dividends
exceeding six per cent. per annum.
The monied institutions of the Common
wealth are, it is believed, generally in a
sound and solvent condition; and if the
measures suggested, be adopted, the banks
will be enabled to meet all their liabilities,
supply a currency adequate to the demands
of legitimate trade and the ordinary business
of life, regain public confidence, aid and re
vive every branch of industry, and save
their creditors and the community from the
buukruptcy and ruin, inevitably consequent
on the intense pressure of the present finan
cial crisis.
The questions submitted for your deter
mination are important and momentous.—
They rise far above all partizan or political
considerations or calculotions. A Buffering
community, in this, the hour of their anxie
ty and peril, expect at your hands prompt
and patriotic: action for their relief.
Influenced by no other consideration than
the public good, prompted by no other than
honest and honorable convictions of public
and private duty, may the result of your de
liberations meet the expectations, relieve
the wants and harmonize with the true in
terests of the people,
JAS. POLLOCK
A Glance at London.
A correspondent of the Now York Com
mercial, writing from the city of London,
thus glances at the modern Babel:
Pedestrians pay no attention to right or
left, but push ahead, and collisions conse
quently often occur. There are more than
fifty streets here crowded as much as Broad
way ever is, and the walks being much nar
rower, it is easy to imagine what the diffi
culties are in progressing. The Londoners
arc not early risers, but rather turn night
into day. Very few, so far as I can learn,
take breakfast before nine o'clock-, and
twelve midnight is considered an early hour
to retire. Places of amusement often keep
open till one and sometimes two in the morn
ing, and in gardens where pyrotechnic dis
plays are a prOntinent feature the fire works
are not set otf till twelve.
Hotel life is also peculiar. There are
very few public houses in which inmates
eat at a table d'hote. Englishmen like to be
alone, and more than once have I noticed
one step into an eating house, and finding
half a dozen persons at the table immediate
ly retire. Qn this account a large eating
room, lik the one at the Astor House fur in
stance, could not be supported. Hence the
large number of restaurants, and the very
limited accommodations. One of the worst
features of these eating houses is the pay
of the servants. At every meal you have
to pay two and at some places four cents to
the waiter who attends you, in addition to
the high price of the meal. These waiters
wear fashionable clothes and white cravats.
The streets of London are kept very clean.
So fur as 1 can learn, there is no regular
time for sweeping the streets, but when any
dirt or filth collects it is directly removed.
I have been in nearly every portion of the
city, and have not seen a street so dirty as
ours are immediately after they are swept.
Notwithstanding it rains here almost every
day, the sprinkling carts are continually on
duty, and when the streets begin to dry up
they at once lay the dust. A stranger
would hardly expect to see birds flying
about in a city like this; but they are here
in abundance. The streets are full of spar
rows, birds about the size of American
wrens, and they are very tame. They are
seen in the most crowded thoroughfares, as
well as in the less frequented streets.
The police system of London is as nearly
perfect as possible. A policeman is always
in sight, and being dressed entirely in blue,
with the coat buttoned up around the neck,
a la militaire, can be readily distinguished.
The streets are so numerous and crooked
that it is often necessary for a stranger to
ask questions of the policemen, and they are
always ready to give the required informa
tion. With such systematic arrangements
it seems almost impossible for a stranger to
be imposed upon if he uses proper judgment.
At all places where crowds are likely to col.
lect, such as railroad depots, steamboat
landings, theatres, &c., the police are dis
tributed liberally. The entire police force
of the Metropolis about 6000 in a population
of 2,600,000.
Novm,s.—The London Critic, in a notice
of the new novel, "Life and its Realities,"
by Georgiana, Lady Chatterton, thus com
ments upon the characters of the work, and
love stories in general:
All we can say is that if Lady Chatterton's
characters are natural, they never came
within the sphere of our observation, and
we sincerely trust they never will. In the
innermost recesses of some gambling hell
or tenth-rate club of London roues such a
creature may exist as the miserable Augus
tus Derwent; but that such a debased on
rang-outang should have the power to win
and hold the heart of an innocent and love
ly maiden like Lucy Lens; is a libel upon
the purost and most angelic portion of hu
manity.
The truth is, it is the "inevitable fate"
doctrine over again—that baleful principle
which, originally stolen from the French ro
mances, now poisons every love-tale that is
written. You have a tall fellow with an
aristocratic name, basilisk eyes, good whis
kers, lung legs, incalculable debts, more sin
and wickedness than is condemned by the
Decalogue, and lo! he has only to gate upon
a good and pure woman for her to fall into
his arms, with no better reason than because
she cannot help it. How long is this dan
gerous and most prenicious creed to be
preached? How soon will our fiction writers
understand that by preaching it as they do
they are bringing about the very state of
things which is to be deplored? For, as the
matter stands now, no green and silly girl,
fresh from school, and in ell the innocence
of her teens, looks upon a fellow whom she
knows to be a scoundrel with that indefinite
feeling which she mistakes for love, without
finding in the last new novel of the day an
ample excuse and an encouraging example
for her fatal blunder.
