THE HAKRISBIJKC; NOMINATIONS.
It will be seen by the proceedings in an
other part of to-day's paper that the Peo
ple's Convention have put in nomination
two good men for Supreme Judge and Ca
nal Commissioner, and adopted a platform
of broad and comprehensive principles,
growing out ol the present relation of par
ties, which ought to be satisfactory to all
honestly opposed to the measures ot our
National Administration, whether Ameri
can, Republican, old line whig, or demo
crat. There is nothing in this movement,
so far as we understand it, compromising
any one in the future, the call having been
issued in order to concentrate the opposition
to the general government :* c . tyranni
cal measures into a means >r rebuking its
extravagance and political pollution.
John M. Read, the candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court, the Daily News says,
"is among the most eminent members of the
Philadelphia Bar. He is distinguished lor
his learning as well as his experience, and
iu point of character is not excelled any
where. Originally, Mr. Read was what is
called a Democrat, and is understood to
have acted with that party until the Presi
dential campaign of 1856. Like many
other intelligent men who have had expe
rience in that organization, he doubtless
found it to be guilty of all, aud probably
much more of the corruption and iniquity
which is charged upon it, and as every hon
est man wiil do after being so convinced,
he left It He did not, however, on that
occasion, take the direction which we pur
sued, but he at the same time earnestly and
vigorously opposed the election of James
Buchanan, as one of those evils which
should never be allowed. Since that time
Mr. Read has continued—so tar as he lias
taken part iu politics—to oppose and con
demn the vile conduct of Mr. Buchanan's
Administration, and Locofocoism generally.
"As a Judge on the Bench of the Su
preme Court, he will have no superior, and
as the contest for that office is to be between
two gentlemen resident among us, both of
whom are well known 10 our citizens, there
will, without doubt, be such an expression
of opinion as will teach the so-called Dem
ocratic party that a candidate who is pre
pared to stand on any platform is not lit to
be voted for.
"The nominee of the Convention for
Canal Commissioner, William E. Frazer, is
a resident of Fayette county. Until with
in a year he was a Senator from the West
moreland and Fayette District, and as such
gave abundant evidence of his fitness to
occupy any position to which he may be
called by his fellow-citizens. 31 r. F., in
politics, is an American, having formerly
acted with the Whig party."

EoeKThe most serious accident that has
ever occurred on the Erie Railroad, happen
ed last Thursday. The express train passed
over a broken rail when running at the rate
of 35 miles an hour, throwing the two rear
cars over a steep embankment, breaking
thexn to fragments, and killing seven per
sons and wounding over 40 others. The
accident occurred at night, which made
the scene one of the wildest confusion.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.
The Lewistown Democrat, Clinton Dem
ocrat, and a number of other papers of that
stripe, don't like the idea of making Le
compton or anti-Lecompton a test at the
congressional election this fall. Of course
not. No matter how gross a wrong was
perpetrated by Allison White and others
in this State in efforts to saddle slavery on
the people of Kansas against their expressed
wishes, these patriotic gentlemen would no
doubt like to ride Mr. White into office
again under the cry of "democracy." It
is a mere " difference of opinion" in their
view, which ought not for a moment con
flict with the prospects of the office-hold
ing gentlemen.
These resorts to "demoopey" have here
tofore been quite convenient, and in many
cases successful, but at the present time it
will we think be a rather difficult matter
to convince the people that Mr. Buchanan,
who found twenty millions in the Treasury
on coming into office and has already
spent that and thirty millions of borrowed
money in addition, is an economical Presi
dent; that his Kansas views and doings are
democratic; or that a tariff making pros
perous foreign workshops and hard times
here, or, to adopt a favorite phrase, "the
rich richer and the poor poorer,' is either
democratic. Jacksonian,orJeffersonian. On
the contrary, all classes are beginning to feel
that there is something wrong in the ad
ministration of ouj public affairs, both as
regards the extension of slavery and the
manufacturing interest, and have come to
I the conclusion that the best way to let Mr.
j Buchanan and his humble servants know
| it, is to give him and them a rebuke where
! they know it will be felt.
THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH- —The sec
ond attempt to lay the Atlantic cable will
probably prove a failure, the telegraph
fleet having met with severe storms, and
narrowly escaping destruction. The fol
lowing is from correspondence of the New
York Herald:
UNITED STATES FRIGATE NIAGARA, June 27,
1858.—1 send this by an American packet
ship, in the hope that it may reach you soon
er than if it went by mail. First, let me say
that we have Leeu at sea since the 10th inst.,
(seventeen days,) nine of which were spent
in a gale of the worst description—so Lad, in
fact, that the Agamemnon was given up by
her Captain, a large portion (100 miles) of
her coil having shifted and moved about du
ring the gale. Two of her men had their
arms and legs fractured. A marine was lit
erally frightened out of his wits, and is now
crazy. The scene on board was terrible.—
The Valorous nearly lost her boats and the
Gorgon her masts. The Niagara escaped with
out damage, and behaved in magnificent
style. She is a grand ship—nothing like her
on the ocean. We lost sight of the Aga
memnon during the gale. She was obliged to
run before it for thirty-six hours, and Cupt.
Preedy gave her up. He behaved splendidly,
it is said, with great coolness and self-posses
sion.
We hate made two splices, the first of w hiclt
was accomplislied yesterday about twelve
o'clock, and it brake when three miles had
been paid out from each ship. It broke on
the Niagara. The second splice was made
at five I'. M. yesterday, and the continuity
gave way at a quarter past one this morning.
We had out from each ship about forty five
miles. The Agamemnon was, of course, out
of sight; and we are now on the rendezvous
awaiting her appearance. Wo are in lati
tude 52 02, longitude 32 33, the point selected
as the place where we were to meet.
I don't think we will succeed We will
try again, and if we fail, go back to Qucens
twwu to await orders from the Company.
J.ater accounts report the abandon men t
of the enterprise.
A Fcarfvl Accident /row Fire Works.
—A very serious but we trust not fatal ac
cident occurred at Michigan City on Sat
urday night (sth) about ten o'clock, while
celebrating the 4th. A man while at
tempting to climb on the platform where
the fire works were let off hit the rod of a
I rocket just as the fire was touched to it,
and poised it in a horizontal direction. It
went into a crowd of people who were on
the piazza of the Waverly House, which
was fifty-six paces distant. The rocket
struck a boy in the side of the face, en
tirely carrying away one cheek. The rod
became disengaged from the rocket and
passed on, hitting the wife of Dr. N. G.
Sherman in the side of the neck just above
the collar hone, and passed through so that
the end stuck out some six or eight inches.
Had it struck an inch further towards the
centre ef the neck it would have severed
the jugular vein. Those present dared
not remove the rod until a physician was
i called, which was several minutes; when
I it was removed the wound was found not
to be as dangerous as was feared, and it is
not supposed to be fatal.— Detroit Adverti

A Murderer Lynched. —James Milligan
who was accessory with Kesler, who was
: hung a short time since by a mob in Gentry
i county, Mo., for the killing of a constable
named Timmons, was likewise taken out of
jail on the sth, and hung until dead. A
guard of the citizens had been stationed
around the jail since the culprit had been
| imprisoned. The prisoner knowing his
i fate, asked to be baptized. This request
j was granted him. The services of a minis
ter were procured, and the prisoner taken
; to a stream near by, and the ceremony per
j formed. He was then taken to the same
I tree that Kesler was hung on, and there
executed. A new and dry suit of clothes
had been procured in the meantime, and
the prisoner dressed to meet his doom.

OUR MECHANICS. —The following ex
tract of a letter from Dr. Stewart, of Indi
ana, to a gentleman of this place, pays a
deserved tribute to one of our mechanics.
The testimony being voluntary, will of
course be the more acceptable to Mr. Mus
ser and his friends :
" We have had one of your townsmen, Mr.
John Musser, for a year or upwards, engaged
for us in the erection of a Presbyterian
Church, somewhat after the pattern of the
one in your place. Mr. Musser has been the
principal workman in the erection of the cu
pola, pulpit, and other difficult and important
parts of the building. lie lias done his work
in a most satisfactory and workmanlike man
ner, and given us a church which I consider
a very p.erfect and beautiful one indeed, and
said to be, by strangers visiting the place, the
most splendid church in Western Pennsylva
nia, out of the cities. Mr. Musser leaves us,
having made many friends who will be pleased
to hear of his welfare and happiness in after
life, and who can in great truth recommend
him as an agreeable gentleman and a superior
workman."
NEW RAILROAD ARRANGEMENT. —A
new arrangement on the Pennsylvania
Railroad went into effect on Monday la-t,
and the conductors and brakesmen on the
Express and Fast Trains run through from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg. It does not
however apply to the Mail Train, which re
mains in charge of Messrs. Jesse K. Lamp
leigh and J no. McVey from Philada. to
Harrisburg; Messrs. Joseph Wcitzel and
Irvin J. Crane from Harrisburg to .Mtoona;
and Messrs. >Seely and Jack man on the
Western Division. Messrs. Alex. Hoggs,
C. A. Keller, F. W. Holey aud 11. M. Zook
take charge of the Express—and Messrs.
O. M. Irwin, A. Koeluff, W. A. Hainbaight
and 11. E. Gray of the Fast Train. Capt.
Franks has been retained as an extra con
ductor. This will be pretty hard service,
and we think will result in making Lewis
town the point of division —it being with
in a few miles the central station.
IMPROVEMENT.— AIthough the state
of the times has prevented any very exten
sive improvements in our borough, yet the
spirit manifests itself in a more economical
manner. Old buildings have been repaired
and painted, giving tbein quite a fresh ap
pearance, and neat fences, porches, &c.,
erected in front of others, affording some
employment to mechanics, and making a
decided improvement in the looks of the
town generally.
To COOL ROOMS.—The Scientific Amer
ican says that the simplest, and cheapest way
to cool a room is to wet a cloth of any size,
the larger the better, and suspend it in the
place you want cooled ; let the room be
well ventilated and the temperature will
sink from ten to twenty degrees in less than
an hour. As we are in the midst of the
heat of summer, the experiment would be
worth trying.
HARVEST.—The farmers in this county
have generally cut their wheat, and from
all accounts, will obtain a much better crop
than was expected, though far below that of
other years, when circumstances were more
favorable. As it is, however, it will have
the effect of reviving business somewhat,
and give us a cheering hope of the "good
time coming."
tfarßerries of all kinds find a ready
sale in town, everybody being anxious to
secure a supply to preserve in cans or oth
erwise. The season has been very favora
ble, and large quantities are daily brought
to town and disposed of.

From California.
The Star of the West, arrived at New
York, left Aspinwall on the sth inst., with
the California mails, two hundred and
fifty passengers, and 81,401,713.45.
A fire broke out in Mariposa on tbe 18th
of June, and the greater portion of tbe
business part of the place was destroyed.
The fire commenced at the lower end of
Main street, and spread rapidly on both
sides until checked at tbe Post-office on the
east side, and at the Union Hotel, opposite,
which buildings were saved. Among the
destroyed were the K1 Dorado saloon, New
conib A Blumenthal's saloon, and Messrs.
Sullivan A (.'ashman's store, and some few
other buildings, were saved.
There had also been a large fire at .San
Andreas, Calaveras county, by which prop
erty to about the amount of 8200,000 was
destroyed.
Mr. Thomas McNabb, at San Francisco,
had been successful in an attempt to ride
two hundred miles within ten hours. lie
rode California stock entirely, forty-two
horses having been provided for the occa
sion. The running commenced at seven
o'clock in the morning and terminated at
five o'clock in the afternoon, less thirteen
minutes, leaving hiiu winner of the wager
of 82,500 by 11-4 minutes. Mr. McNabb
stopped to refresh himself between the 71st
and 80th miles, and again between the 111 th
and 120 th miles, occupying from four to
five minutes each time, and on another
occasion sat on the grass and rested for
nine minutes. The shortest time of ac
complishing any single ten miles was 20
minutes, 15 seconds. The longest 33 min
utes, 30 seconds.
The Fraz'-r Hirer Mines. —All the Cal
ifornia and Oregon papers are filled with
accounts of ami speculations upon the new
gild mines discovered upon the Frazer
river and surrounding regions. The ex
pectations w hieh the first discovery excited
seem likely to be even more than realized.
The latest accounts represent that not only
is there an abundant supply of gold, hut
that good order prevailed at the mines j
that no difficulty had occurred with the
Hudson's Lay Company; that the Indians
were friendly and peaceable; and that
goods of all kinds were admitted free, ex
cept liquors. A gentleman just returned
from the mines, (Mr. Lewis Lewis,) re
ports to the editor of the Sacramento Mer
cury that he spent seven or eight days on
and near the river, aud was well satisfied
that the mines are immensely rich; that
he saw 81,800 which had been taken out
by one man in fourteen days, and that he
was about immediately to return, taking
his wife and familv.
The excitement in San Francisco is
plainly very great. At every arrival from
the new mines the newspaper and express
offices are besieged with persons seeking
information, while persons newly arrived
are waylaid and followed by crowds of
excited men eager for whatever news they
can communicate. Ihe steamer Kepublie,
which arrived from Frazer river at San
Francisco on the 10th of June, brought
down about 300 oz ot gold dust.
FROM OREGON.
The Defeat of Col. St op toe Con firmed.
—The .San Francisco papers contain ex
; tracts from Oregon papers to the Bth of
J June. The defeat of Colonel Steptoe, by
the Indians, is confirmed, lie was caught
| in an ambush, the Indian force amounting
to five huudred warriors, while there were
but one hundred and ten men in command
i of the Colonel, ill-supplied with ammuni
; tion. He had been forewarned of an attack
but as the Spokanes, the promised assail
ants, where a tribe having the mostfriend
j ly relations with the whites, he paid no
: attention to the admonition. The loss of
Colonel Step toe's command was far less
| than previously reported. There were two
officers and eight men, including three
friendly Indians, killed, and ten men wound
; ed. The officers killed were Captain O.
H. Taylor, of Company C, and Lieutenant
i W. Gaston, of Compauy 11, First Dragoons.
At the last dates Colonel Steptoe was at
i Fort Walla Walla waiting for reinforce
ments. Brigadier General Clark and staff
I had gone to the seat of war in Washington
i Territory. The steamer Senator arrived
at Sau Francisco on the 13th of June from
, San Diego, with some two hundred troops
destined to the scene of the Indian difficul
ties.
The Cholera in St. Petersburg. —The
cholera, a letter from St. Petersburg says,
i has reappeared in that capital, and already
seventy cases have occurred. The tem
perature of the weather is, however, cooler
than is usual there at this period of the
year.
Stir - Peter Keim, an old and wealthy far-

tST"A young iady was recently shot in the
woods near Newago, Michigan, by a sports
man who was ont after deer, and seeing the
flutter of her dress, fired, causing her death
in three hours.
A Double Murder. —A shocking affair
occurred on the 16th inst., in the town of
"Calais, Vt. A young man, about IS years
of age, named Ariel Martin, took his rifle
in the morning, went into a neighboring
haying field, put himself in ambush, and,
as Mr. Wheeloek, the owner, made his ap
pearance to commence work, shot him de
liberately through the heart. Mr. Whee
loek It'll at once, and in five minutes breath
ed his last. Martin immediately hurried
off to another farm, where he met a labor
er named Ainsworth, and, after exchanging
a word or two with him, shot him also.—
The neighborhood became alarmed, and
Martin took to the woods. He soon after
terwards, however, made his appearance in
the road, and was arrested. On being ques
tioned why he had been shooting these
men, he replied, "because they were mean
men." No cause can he assigned for the
horrid act. Martin had always been con
sidered rather weak-minded, but has never
been supposed insane. The a flair is under
going thorough investigation.
