THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday, February 26, 1857. TO OUR PATRONS. We have this year, in addition to oar regular expenses, to meet nearly S3OO on the Ist of April, and we trust there fore that our patrons who have heretofore so liberally res ponded to this annua! call, will do so again. The past few years, with their high prices, have been trying ones to us, for wbile everything else has gone up our terms for the paper auJ prices of job work are the same as when we could purchase dour at $4.30 and $5.00 per barrel, butter at 12', cents per poun.l, and many other things In proportion; yet with all this, such notices as " We waut money," " We Mtsr have money," Ac., are never found in the columns of the (iazette unless it be at this season. Tills is not because we do not need it, (for to tell the truth we have been a bor rower in 1556,) but because these constant "duns" are cold ly looked upon by the public, and seldom produce any good. There is one class to whom we have a special word to nay. They are few in number, but totally regardless wheth er they pay or not. The day has arrived when wo xi;st dispense with sccu " patronage." and we here give them notice that we shall take an early occasion to strike their names oft the books. A large number of subscriptions in the Western states, Ac. will expire during the months of February, March and April, and as these are discontinued at the expiration of the time paid for, (.except in a few special cases,) those wishing the paper continued will please remit a gold dol lar, wappod In a piece of paper and enclosed In a letter.— Xo western small notes will he takeu in payment. UNION STATE CONVENTION. The citizens of Pennsylvania who are op posed to the extension of Slavery and to the other equally obnoxious principles of the in coming Notional Administration as announced in the Cincinnati platform—who are opposed to the union of church and State, the exclu sion of the BiLlc'froin our Common Schools, and in favor of protecting the bullot-box from j the corrupt influences by which the will of j the people was defeated in the recent State • and Presidential elections, are requested to j elect delegates, equal in number to the pres- j rnt representation in the Senate and House ! of Representatives, to meet in Convention in 1 the Hall of the House of Representatives, at Harrisburg. on Tuesday, the 25th day of j March next, at 12 o'clock M., to nominate j candidates for Governor, Judge of the Su- i preme Court and Canal Commissioner, to be supported at the ensuing October election.

The call issued by the Republican committee has not been withdrawn, as stated by some papers, but it is understood that where two sets of' delegates are elected, both are to be admitted to the general convention, whether American or Republican. This movement, we are glad to say, foreshadows a complete union of ali the elements of the opposition who are sin cere in their hostility to the sham democracy, and we think will tell a taie at the October election alike effective and gratifying.

American State Council. —The Harrisburg Herald says the call for a State Council at Harrisburg on the 3d March, signed J. J. Clyde, is spurious. The State Council meets at A i toon a cn that day. aud the Secretary requests that each subordinate council should be represented. ENROLLMENT 1 AX. — The Secretary of the Com mors wealth has transmitted to the Le*>is lature a list of tiie several acts of Assemble, remaining in liis office, which will be repealed on the 22d of April next, in default of pay ment of the enrollment tax. Yery nearly $2-3,0U0 is due the Btate for these purposes. BS&,b'hild stealing, the New York papers say, is practised to a great extent iu that city. Piobably, on an average, two children a week are abducted from their homes while playing on the sidewalk, and are detained until the afflicted parents offer a reward for tbeia, when the kidnappers bring their little victims to light and receive the money. They ought to receive a place in the State Prison. THE TONNAGE TAX. There is at this time, considerable discus sion going on relative to the repeal of the ! tonnage tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad. ■ This, n9 our readers are aware, has been a ! prolific theme, pro and con, for several years, I but thus far productive of no change in leg- ] islation further than its repeal as to lumber and coal. When this tax was imposed the gener- I nl impression prevailed that the railroad would materiallj* reduce the revenue of the public works, but as time has demonstrated that although the construction of the railroad made a considerable change in freights, by which business was more or less affected at local points, yet the aggregate was not only ; not diminished but actually increased, this is j no longer an argument either fr or against the measure. Of late years, since the com pletion of rival lines to the west, the officers of the company have repeatedly drawn atten tion to the fact that with this tax they cannot compete with those lines in trade, and as travel generally follows in the wake of trade, some danger is apprehended that instead ot being a first class line, the Pennsylvania Railroad must become a second of third rate one. At first sight this would appear to be j a matter of little importance to the interior, ; but if the theory be admitted that the trade and prosperity of our metropolitan cities are intimately conuected with the trade and pros- ; perity of the interior, theu it is a matter . affecting all—Philadelphia and Pittsburgh directly and the interior indirectly. The first ! point that preseuts itself in this view of the ' | is the inquiry "What is the tonuage j tax?" It is a tax of 3 mills per ton upon ! every thing carried over the road, which is , i paid into the State Treasury, and as stated i above was imposed under an apprehension j that the construction of the road would nva ! terially injure the public works. This tax is ! of course paid by the transporter, and as the aggregate of local freights is greater than the through, it follows that the whole thing is but another name for an additional State tax, which, like the tax on stocks, is paid as a whole by the railroad company, but at the expense of every producer who uses the road. We next come to the question whether its re peal is demanded, not alone by the interests ; ; of the railroad, for that would be but a second i ary consideration, but by tho-euf the public? , If the whole interest centres in the railroad company, as alleged by many of the oppo nents of repeal, the company will have to make the best of a "bud bargain," but herein ' the officers and their friends contend that it is as much the interest of the people of Penn sylvania as themselves, because if the tax is continued it will drive both trade and travel that has heretofore sought our improvements into other channels, thus lessening, in place of iucrtasing, the business of our cities, and ultimately producing the very effect at first, anticipated, to wit, injuring the revenue- of the public works. Again, if this tax is not repealed and the officers of the company arc j driven into competition with other lines not encumbered with such a tax. and carry freight at little or no profit, or at a loss, the conse- j quence will bt; that the local freights would probably bo increased from their present rates —which, by the Ly, are high enough j already—and thus the local transporters would not only have to pay their share f the j tax, but in reality also the three mills lo\ied ! ion the through ji eight. One great objection we have often heard is that the company would not agree to reduce the rates in pro- j portion. On all things they probably would 1 not, but there arc many kinds of freight car ried at but little rbk on which a reduction : could, and we hare no doubt would et once be made, and where heavy interests are eon cerncd additional facilities afforded for send- j ing produce of all kinds to market. Such | arc the arguments on both sides of this ques tion, an important one financially both to the State aud company. In considering it, the people ought to divest themselves of ail par . j tizanship on the subject, find trcnt it as thry would any other important niatlcr, for al- j though as a general thing corporations id ay I be "soulless," yet if it can be shown that by the relinquishment <>f a certain right r claim both parties may be benefitted, it w ;u!d be right and proper to <lo so. The past season has shown a considerable decrease in the tonnage of the Pennsylvania road and a large increase on the Baltimore and Ohio. ' proving the main position of the officers of the road to be correct, namely, that with this tax they cannot compete with that line. If the coming season should show a similar re sult, and be followed by a decrease in the tax as well as canal receipts, the question mnv ! then well be agitated whether Pennsylvania has not reached the height of her trad", and this too while the almost boundless west is increasing her products by the hundred fold? While it might not be sound policy for the State at once to relinquish all interest in this tax, it seems to us that st mo legislation on the subject might be judiciously made sons ! to make a trial of the matter at issue, and thereafter be guided by the results produe%i. fisay'Cornelius .Christie, formerly of New Jersey, was shot dead at Detroit, Mich., re cently. by a man whose house he was trying to set on fire.

IMPROVED STOCK. —Our notice of the Big Calf in the upper end has drawn the following j from a gentleman in the east end who has done much towards improving the breed vt cattle in this county: LOCKE'S MILLS, February 20, 1857. Dear Sir:—After reading your account of ; the large calf raised in the upper part of j our county, I came to the conclusion to give VUU a description of two calves raised at Locke's Mills in same county: BELLE, a II ifer Calf, (her dam's first calf,) j calved December 1?. 1855, weighed that day j 91 pounds, at one month old 182 pounds, at j six months weighed 462 pounds, at nine months weighed 584 pounds, at one year 710 j pounds, and on the 14th of the present month * weighed 785 pounJs. Gain in 410 days, 694 LADV, from same cow, calved December 14, 1856, weighed on that day 90 pounds, on Jan uary 14. 1857, weighed 175 pounds, and on j the 14th of February, being two months old. weighed 230 pounds. Neither of these calves ever had more thin I feed to the calves of my other stock, and I uiy object is to show my brother farmers the ! advantage of biaod stock over common herds. If the upper part of the county can beat s this we wiil try again and give the next some extra rare. 1 have a calf 22 months old which weighed j on the 14th February, 1670 pounds. Respectfully yours, ' E. E. LOCKE. FANATICAL DELUSIONS. —For some years a j number of German fanatics or impostors have J appeared in this country, professing to be prophets or persons commissioned by Heaven to dispose of birth rights in the kingdom be- I yond the grave, and strange as it may appear have found those who gave credence to such impostures, notwithstanding in every instance that lias come under our notice "money'' was the object sought by these " prophets" who, unlike those of old, sought instead of reject ing the root of all evil. I,aet week we pub lished an account of <-uch a cave in Philadel- j phia, and this week the particulars of one here were brought to light. Tbc party call- j ing himself a prophet is named Andrew Heincman, and is we believe a resident of j Pittsburgh. I lis operations were commenced on llenry Peters and others, and by repre- . renting that the scriptures were not correct and not properly understood, gradually worm ed l.is way into the confidence of Peters and others until they actually took up the delusion taut Ileineman \va- an agent of Heaven who for money could dispose of the future. Ircin Peters be obtained from SSO to SIOO, and has so infatuated him that the earnings of a life time sGein no longer to be ot any account. All reasoning having failed, John Hippie, a son-in-law of Peters, very properly took the matter in hand, and en Monday nad Heine man arrested under the vagrant act and for obtaining money under false pretences. Ahe first charge failed, but in tbc latter Esquire Stewart held him to appear at court—Sebas tian Ileineman and Adam Peter entering bail in SSOO each. RAILROAD TRAVELING —'1 he resumption of the Fast Line, with some change of time in the schedule, will enable our citizens to com bine considerable business and traveling be tween the h- urs of sa. m. and 12 p. m. By taking the Express train in the morning they will reach Philadelphia about noon, can take dinner with their friends (if they have any,) attend to business for a few hours, and at half past four start v,n their return home, which, without accident or detention, they will reach before midnight. Tho railroad distance from LewL-town to Philadelphia is set down at 167 miles—so that a passenger would travel 334 miles and spend about four hours in the city between 5 a. m. and 12 p. m. Had some well-to-do man twenty years ago said he weuid live to see such a thing done, his heirs would have probably consign ed him to a Lunatic Asylum and divided his estate.

SELLERS. —The llarriburgTel egraph is engaged in giving short elcetehes of the members of the present Legislature.— I Among the number we find the following in regard to the Senator from this District: "Mr. Sellers represents the Senatorial dis trict composed of Union, Snyder, Mifflin and Juniata counties. He was born and has al j ways resided in the latter county, being at present engaged in the mercantile business at Mifflintown, the county seat. His early life wrs passed in agricultural pursuits. The public life of Mr. Sellers commenced with the office of Justice of the Peace, two terms I in the office of Prothonotary of Juniata cgun- • ty, being elected over a large and reliable Democratic majority. Ife was elected to the Senate ia 1854 by over seventeen hundred majority. The personal appearance of Mr. Sellers is very fine, being a large, portly, am- j iablo looking gentleman, arid very naturally excites surprise whan the fact is known that i in the enjoyment of so many honors he should still be alone, or in other woxtis a bachelor. His abilities are very fair, unbending integ- j rity, business tact, excellent common sease and a devotion to party and friends, being 1 his prominent traits. He enjoys the respect i and confidence of his fellow Senators, and * , exerts an influence second to no one. As this i is his last year we hope the State will not lose ! his services, but that he will be returned again to that body be has adorned for three j years. Mr. Sellers has capacity for still j j higher duties, and we feel confident he will , ere long be called upon to discharge them." In addition to the above we perceive that the Union county Star has nominated Mr. Sellers for Governor. Should this Senatorial j District remain undisturbed, the wish of the j Telegraph could hardly be accomplished un- f less under peculiar circumstances, as it has ; been tacitly understood and so far acquiesced ! in that the Senator is to be taken from the i several ceunties iu rotation. Under this rule j Mifflin county will be entitled to the next can i didatc, but should circumstances arise to make a choice necessary elsewhere, we know | of no one who would be more acceptable than : Mr. S.

According to the Council of Nice, held in the time of Constantino, it must be celebrated on Sunday, and this Sunday must follow the 14th day of the Paschal i Moon. The Paschal Moon is that on which : the 14th day either falls, or the day next fid- , i lowing that ot the \ ernal Equinox, and the j 1 21st of March is accounted the day of tfiis i Equinox. The new Moons are those of the i ; Ecclesiastical Calendar, which are determined ! arbitrarily by the lunar cycle in the Juliaa , Calendar, and by means of the table of Epacts . j in the Gregorian, so that the above rules de- i tine E-vter very distinctly. Lent is observed I very generally by members of the Protestant j Episcopal and the Roman Catholic Churches. !

Among those 1 vvbo have already made purchases are Wm. Mitchell of Lewiatown, Joseph Tice of Gran | ville, John M.

The lands will be sold ' j low, and offer the strongest inducements for I emigrants fr-m this and neighboring coun j ties to form neighborhoods, and thus in a ' measure relieve the tediousne?? arising from settling among strangers in a strange land.
