BUCHANAN AND KANSAS.
Notwithstanding- that every Governor of
Kansas thus far appointed has not been able
to reconcile the frauds practised there to
his sense cf duty, the administration sit
Washington it is alleged still continues to
uphold the infamous perpetrators of these
wrongs. First Reeder was removed to
gratify some violent slavery propagandists,
then Geary, and now Walker, who accepted
the appointment by special request of the
President, has fallen under the displeasure,
of that functionary because he had the i
manliness to expose the villains who had
attempted to manufacture election returns
where there were no voters, and because he ■
contends that it is democratic to submit the ,
constitution to a vote of the people. There
is evidently trouble brewing among the
democracy on this question, as many influ
ential presses in the north and west are ta
king strong ground against the despotic
power attempted to be exercised by a con
vention elected by fraud and thus far sup
ported by the general government. Had
that body agreed upon a proper constitu
tion and submitted it to the people for adop
tion, there would have been au end of all
contention on the subject; but if not reject
ed by Congress, the probability is that the
people there will rise in their might and
form a government in accordance with our
institutions and the principles of liberty
we profess. Between blundering into a
winter campaign into Utah, and upholding
those who seem determined to rekindle the
flames of civil war in Kansas, the adminis
tration is likely to have its hands full.
|o~Capt. R. V. Maclay, who was a passen
ger on the steamer Galveston at the time of
her colli si >n with the Opelousas, gives the fol
lowing statement of the condition of the ;oat
he was on. All accounts agree that the col
lision was the result of gross negligence on
the part of officers and crews on board both
ships. Many ef the passengers rescued from
the Opelonsas had their clothing and contents
of pockets stolen.
Statement of Capt. R. V. Maclay, V. S. A.
I was a passenger on board the Galveston.
1 was on deck about an hour and a half before
the collision ; saw no one there, though I went
forward as far as the foremast. The wind
soon freshened, and I went to the wheel-house
to see by the compass what direction it came
from. I went quietly to look at the compass,
when I noticed the man at the wheel leaning
forward over it, with his arm slung loosely
overdone of the handles and his other hand
holding to the wheel. I thought at the mo
meat he was leaning over to look at the com
pass, but on walking aft I began to fancy he
m:ght be asleep. This idea disturbed me,
and on going below I did not retire till I saw
an officer go up. I feel quite certain now
tfaf- man at the wheel was asleep. After
tnc collision took plaee, I went on deck, wbero
i heard the csptain giving orders to launch
the boats. Ihe Opelousas was then about
f<rty yards off. and we were drifting from her.
l went to the forward life boat, which was
swung up with block and tackle. There were
but two or three others who went with me to
the boat, and we few could do nothing with it.
There was only one oar in it; and the other
oars being called for, were not to be found,
i he after life boat was subsequently launched.

A Bame Eighteen Fut Under Ground.—
During the excavation of a street in Evans

aorots the remains of a cabin, eighteen feet
below the surface of the earth. This won

feet in length, formed by upright posts set in
the ground, and boarded up with split oak
puncheons, secured by wooden pine. The

H'AUncay't Ointment and ML. —The chap

in the volume of human suifering. In most
hospitals, bruises, fractures, dislocations, in

upon a* things to be experimented on for the
benefit of broods of young students, previous
to their debut as full fiedged surgeons. The
amount of unnecessary butchery in these in
stitutions is enormous. At least 25 percent,
of the " operations" we read of*are mistakes
which might and ought to have been avoided.

LOCAL AFFAIRS
EMPLOYMENT FOR THE POOR.— We sec
it stated that in 3lontour county the Direc
tors of the Poor have employed a number
of persons who have been compelled, by
the pressure of the times, to seek relief at
their hands, in draining the sprouty mead
ows and other lands belonging to that es
tablishment. The farm in this county has
.no such lands, but if there are other im
provement* that could be made, it would
perhaj>s be advantageous to set men to
work. There are however a number of
farmers in all parts of the county, who
might employ laborers in constructing
drains and otherwise improving their farms,
by which a large number could earn a few
dollars a week, and at the same time render
a return to the employer. Hundreds will
have to be aided in some wav before the
... *
winter is over, and to our mind such a
mode would be far preferable to direct re
lief, both to the employer and employed,
particularly as the most deserving poor are
always the last to seek aid.
MIFFLIN COUNTY BANK. —A meeting
has been called at Reedsville on the loth
December, for the purpose of considering
the pr>i>osed application for a Bank ehan
ter. to be located at this place, under the
above title. We have heretofore given our
views at length on the present banking
system, and recent events have but served
; to confirm them, namely, that no charter
i ought hereafter to be granted by the Leg
islature, unless state stocks or real estate
i situate in the county where business is pro
posed to be done, amply sufficient to redeem
all the issues of such an institution, be
I mortgaged for the benefit of the notehold
ers. On any other ground we are teetotal
ly anti-bank.
NARROW ESCAPE. —A boy named David
! Jenkins, while skating on the river on
: Thursday lat, broke IU above the bridge,
I but fortunately caught hold of the ice,
where he sustained himself until relieved.
I The water where he broke through was
i seven or eight feet deep, and had the ice
given way where he held on, he must in
evitably have been drowned. Another boy
broke in near the bridge on Friday, though
in shallow water. Parents ought not to
suffer their children as yet to skate on the
river, as although the icc in places is strong
enough, there are many spots where it is
thin and unsafe. The water also is so deep
; that rescue would be almost impossible,
should any of them go down. P. S. Ice gone.
ESCAPE FROM JAIL. —Solomon Beck
| with, whose arrest for purloining money
: from a letter we noticed last week, escaped
) from the jail on Tuesday evening. He had
j been cutting wood in ihe afternoon in (he
(jail yard, and was then either furnished
with keys by an accomplice, or managed to
get hold of some, with which he unlockeo
the door of his cell and the yard gate. lie
is about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, rather
round shouldered, spare face and sallow
, complexion. The sherifl we understand
; has offered a reward of S2O for bis appre
-1 hension.
FIRE. —An alarm of tire WAS raised on
Thursday last by the roof over the boiler
at Marks'* steam mill catching fire, but it
was got under before much damage was
done by the Henderson Hose. The Juni
ata was also on the ground, but too late to
be of much service. From the dense
smoke which arose from the mill, a general
impression prevailed that it was on fire, but
this was soon relieved on approaching the
scene.
SOAP. —We accidentally omitted to men
tion last week the reception of a piece of
fine soap from Bernard lieiley, who manu
factures the article at his candle factory in
Valley street. In appearance it somewhat
resembles Castile, and is in every respect
far superior to any of the same kind that
can be procured in the stores.
REGISTER AND RECORDER. —Joe. 8.
Ware-am, Esq., took possession of these
offices on Tuesday last, that being the day
fixed by law. He succeeds Mr. M'Dowell
who, during the six years he has held them,
proved one of the most attentive and effi
cient officers ever elected —an enconium to
which we hope the new incumbent will do
no discredit.
MORE THIEVING. —The slaughter house
of Col. Wm. Butler was broken into on
Friday night last, and about 75 lbs. sau
sage, 40 lbs. pudding and 50 lbs. pork ta
ken therefrom. This was a daring theft,
and must have been committed by some
who do not steal from want. Some sls
were also stolen at Mayes's on Saturday.

TE MPE KAXO E M EETIXG.
in accordance with previous adjournment, j
a meeting of the friends of temperance was
held in the Town Hall, on .Monday evening, |
November 30th. Col. John Hamilton was !
appointed President pro tem . and F. J. i
Hoffman Secretary pro tcm. The meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev. William
V. Bowers.
The Committee appointed at a previous
meeting to draft a Constitution, submitted
the following articles of association, which
were adopted :
From a persuasion that the use of intoxi
cating liquor a# a beverage is a very danger
ous indulge-no, which leads to great injury ;
of personal character and usefulness, and j
also to much crime and wretchedness in the
community ; and believing it to be a humane
duty, prompted by sentiments of benevo- ;
lence and truth, that we should abstain from {
such indulgence ourselves, and also endeavor i
to persuade others to abstain, we, who are
thus persuaded, unite together for such a
laudable purpose under the following name
and article# of association, vis :
1. The name shall be The Lewistown Tem
perance Association.
2 The object of this Association shall be
to exert a healthful influence, so far as prac
ticable, by every legitimate and proper
means, against the use of intoxicating liquor
as a beverage.
3. In carrying out Ibis object, we will
indir.dually and collectively abstain from
all indulgence in the use of intoxicating li- :
quor. and we will moreover endeavor to dif- [
fuse knowledge upon the danger and impro
priety of such indulgence, and will advise
and caution others against it as opportunity
may allow, and as ability and lime may jus
tify and render feasible.
4. Tbe officer# of thi* Association shall be
a President, Vice President, Secretary, and
Treasurer, who shall be elected annually,
and who shall discharge the duties which ;
may be, and usually are, incident to suchof- i
ficers respectively.
o. Any person who shall .g? these arti- j
cles of agreement, (or the article herewith
presented, entitled " Mutual Agreement."} !
shall be a member of tins Association.
6. Any member who fails to c<ui?urm to
theregulationsof this Associaliou, (especially
that embodied in the 3d article, in reference
to personal abstinence from intoxicating li
quor,) shall be first ad man i> bod by a com
mittee of two persons; but. if he shall con
tinue to transgress, be will thereby render
himself liable to a forfeiture of membership.
7. Meetings of this Association may be
called by the President at tbe request of
three members, and lbs Association in ay ad
journ to meet at any time it may resolve up*
on ; stated meetings shall be held quarterly,
on the Thursday evenings of the regular
Court Weeks, held in January, April, Au
gust and November—the annual meeting be
ing that which occnrs in November.
8. The funds of this Association shall he
raised by collections at stated and other
meeting#, and by special effort, through a
committee appointed, as necessity may re
quire. and they shall be held by the Treasu
rer, and be disbursed by him as a TOte of
this Association may determine.
MUTUAL AGREEMENT.
We, the subscribers, believing that the
drinking of ardent spirits is, for persons in
health, not only unnecessary, bat injurious,
and that its use is the cause of forming in
tempfrate appetites and babits; and while
it is continued the evils of intemperance can
never bo prevented—do therefore agree, that
we will not, except as a medicine, in case of
bodily infirmity, use distilled spirits our
selves, or procure them for our families, or
provide them for the entertainment of our
friends or for persons in our employment;
and that in all suitable ways we wiU discoun
tenance the use of them in our community.
An election for officers was then had,
and resulted as follows :
President—Rev. William V. Bowers.
Vice President —Samuel Comfort.
Secretary—Capt T. F. M'Coy.
Treasurer —William Russell.
On 'motion, Messrs. Warner, Hoffman
and Alter were appointed a committee to
procure lecturers, and solicit signers to the
Constitution.
On motion, it was ordered that the mem
bers of the Association be furnished with
copies of the u Mutual Agreement," in or
der to solicit signers to it
FROM UTAH.
Brig nam i'ung't Jjeilaration r *f Indepen
dence.—Mr. Fp**r, recent!y arrived at San
Francisco, from Utah, navs be bad a conver
j nation with one of the Mormon sol die re, an
i Englishman. He referred in bitter term* to
the treatment the Mormons bad received in
Illinois and Missouri, reflected on the injus
tice and tyranny of the people of tbe I nited
States, and said that tbe time was come to
get even. He said they were on their way to
meet Gen. Harney, to see what be was com
ing for. "If he was eoming peaceably we
will let him come, bat if not we will drive
him back,"' were the words used. Another
Mormon, named Killion, an old man who
lives about wren miles from Salt Lake City,
spoke bitterly against the United States, de
nounced Judge Drummond and all tbe Feder
al officers, and rejoiced that tbe time bad come
when the Saints wonld be svenged on their
enemies— that ren were found who could face
the enemy, and that Ilarney, with his 2500
men, never would enter Salt Lake City. He
( also stated that Gov. Brigham Young had or
dered tbe people to prepare for war ; that tbey
should not sell emigrants anything; that tbey
must lay up provisions; that tbe men and wo
men must not dress up In store clothes any
| more, but that all must 1* saved to forward
the cause of tbe Church against the common
i enemy— that the nwn must l<e content with
buckskin instead of broadcloth, and have
, plenty of gur.s and ammunition.
DKCIJKKATIOX OR INDEPENDENCE.
Oa the 17th of August, passed through the
city of Salt Lake. Remained only three or
four hours. Had a conversation with a mer
chant —a Gentile— stated that on the pre
vious Sunday, Brigham Young had declared,
io the temple, that henceforth Utah was a
separate and independent Territory, and owed
, no obedience, or allegiance to any funn of law*
but those of their own enactment, and called
upon the peaph: to stand together and sup ;
pert liinj in maintaining the cause of God
and the Church. Was tld that the house of
; Gilbert and Garrison had orders from Brig
. ham to pack up and leave before the Ist of
