THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWNj PA. Thursday, July 29, 1858. PUBLIC MEETING. THE OPPONENTS OF THE PRESENT National Administration am requested to meet in the Town Hall on Tuesday Evening, August 3,1858, for the purpose of making such preliminary arrangements as may l>e deemed nccessarv for the ensuing campaign. GEO. FRYSINGER, Chairman County Committee. AMERICAN AND FOREIGN LABOR. That free trade and monopoly paper the Philadelphia Ledger, in a recent number says— " It is mauifest all around that the tariff is to be made a hsLhy in the next political can vass, at least so lar as the politicians in the eastern and middie States can make it so. Various ridiculous theories—most of them exploded—are pressed into service, and urged with all the earnestness of truth." We suppose the Ledger considered among the ridiculous theories the fact that the contract for the pipes for the Potomac Aqueduct has been given to a party who will have the pipes made in Scotland. The pipes are ordered to be of an unusual length, and the time allowed to furnish them • so short, that the proprietors of es tabiisments in this country, although wil- ling to make them even at a lower rate than they are now contracted for, could not, without great inconvenience, furnish thein within the time specified. It is evi dent, says the Daily News, that there was no necessity for requiring them all before the first of October next, as there is no probabilty that the work will be in such a state of forwardness as to be brought to a completion so soon as this haste would seem to indicate. If the pipes are required at that time, the contract could easily have been m Je sooner, so as to allow American louEidm- an opportunity to compete with their foreign rivals. The Potomac Aque duct is entirely too good a job to lie broujrht to an end. I nele Sam has already bled pretty freely to keep it going, and there is no likelihood that he will be let off until the lee A :-s of the Potomac are all gorged. One establishment near Philadelphia conid readily have furnished the pipes, if they were not required to be furnished in so brief •. period, and taken all the circum stances it\to consideration, we are waranted in the belief that the government designed to favor a foreign establishment at the ex pense of those of our own country. A ffiut cold blooded, heartless insult to the me chanics of our country, cannot be imagined. Here is an administration which calls itself Democratic, which professes to be the pe cu. tr friend of the people, and the advo cate of the rights and interests of work ingn.en. That administration knows that for i year past many thousands of the most worthy men of r country have been suf fering the greatest embarrassment and dis tress for want of employment.. Many ol them are mechanics, capable of doing the most useful work, with families depending upon them for support, standing idle, and looking with gloomy apprehension to the future, while the government deliberately takes the money belonging to these men, and pays it to the people of Scotland for doing woik which could be better done at home. I'ive thousand tons of castings, including the cost of the iron, may be fair ly estimated as the equivalent of 200,000 days' work. In effect, Mr. Buchanan's administration has given away a year's living of a thous and families, and this is the smallest part of the injury, for the money thus given away—lost forever to cur country —would be sufficient to keep two thousand men con st* -ly at work. Here is a beautiful illus tration of Democratic love for the people. If they can get their votes, they care not whether the people starve, or beg, or per ish in any miserable manner, so that some of Lhe foreign supporters of the Adminis tration can make a good profit off a gov ernment job. American mechanics are good enough to do voting for the Loco boco party, but when even their own mon ey is to be paid away for Government work it must be sent to the foreign allies of this party. When wiH workingmeu tegin to assert their own rights ? When will they begin to teach their masters at Washington that they will not forever submit to be trod up on, derided and misruled by a heartless ol igarchy. f6U*The democratic delegate elections will come off on Saturday next, and although the Democrat would fain persuade its readers that ell is peace on the Lecompten business, we think that, like in many other cases, it will find itself considerably mistaken. As far as we hare seen, all the Opposi tion papers in the State unite upon Read and Frazer. The Erie Observer, published by a Le eompton Democrat, at present Post Master of the city of Erie, remarks, " WearefVee to say, it is the best nomination they could have made. Indeed we do not recollect of the managers of that party ever doing so sensible a thing before. Read is a good lawyer, an able and accomplished man, and if he should by any possibility be elected, will cast 110 discredit upon the Bench." The American, the leading Democratic paper of Northumberland coun ty, says, " As a profound and well read law yer, Mr. Read probably has nosuperior in the State, and is highly respected for his mor. al worth and integrity of character." Forney's Press the Democratic Anti-Le compton organ, has the following brief, though significant paragraph : "The nominee of the Opposition State Con vention for Supreme Judge, Hon. John M. h'tad, of this city, in a lawyer of the highest character, and a citizen of unblemished rep utation. \\ e do not think his party could have made a better nomination." Dorng Away 1!'/ fit the Lawyers. —The Young Men's Christian Association of Pittsburg have adopted a policy which must he very alarming to the lawyers of that city. At a recent meeting resolutions were adopted for the appointment of a Committee of Arbitration, before whom the members of the Association, and all others who may wish to have their personal differences settled in obedience to Christian rules, may bring their matters of contro versy. APPLES. — The Portsmouth (N. Y.)Jour rial gives the following as a mode of deter mining the amount of fruit that may be expected from an orchard, which may bo new to many of our readers: Bome years since, an old gentleman en tered the oichard of his neighbor in the month of May, when the frees were in full bloom, and generally well filled with blos soms. After making a circuit of the or chard, he remarked—' \\ ell, I see you are to have but few apples this yeas.' " Point ing to one full of blossoms. 'You will have none on that tree.' Pointing to another, equally full, < You will have a peek on that. Then to another, 1 \ ou may have five bushels 011 that.' Keeping a note of his remarks, in the autumn he found that his predictions were correct. On inquiry for indications, he said that red apple blos soms indicated fruit, and white did not. fife-Mr. Buchanan it is said drinks nothing stimulating hut rye whiskey.

LEWISTOWN ACADEMY.—Our readers will be pleased to learn that, the Trustees of this institution have made an arrange ment with Mr. arner to cotinue in charge for another session, commencing in Sep tember next. BERRIES.—The scarcity of labor has set more persons to gathering berries than we have ever known before, many of whom have probably realized from $1 to $2 per day. The " canning" business keeps up a litely demand, and ripe berries can be readily disposed of at fair prices. We have seen many however not>only unfit for use but detrimental to health, gathered by persons bent only on obtaining the money for them. Housekeepers ought to reject all such at any price. SERMON TO THE SABBATH SCHOOLS.— Rev. Richard Newton, D. 1)., of St Paul's | Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, will preach a sermon to the Sabbath Schools of Lewis town, in the Presbyterian Church, on next Sabbath afternoon- He will also preach in iSt. Mark s Church in the morning of the same day. FATAL ACCIDENT.—E. C. Freeburn, for a number of years a resident of this place, met with an accident on Thursday last on one of the iarms of James Burns, Es<j., across the river, which terminated fatally on Saturday. He was endeavoring to pre vent a wagon loaded with grain from tilt ing over, hut was drawn along with it and fell with great force, breaking both arms above the wrists and no doubt sustaining internal injuries which resulted as above. He was about 45 years of age. STABBING AFFAIR. —Two colored men, named Hawkins ami Scott, employed at the National House, got into an altercation on Saturday last, during which Scott ran an ice breaker an instrument somewhat like a butchers steel, into Hawkins shoul der, creating an uglv wound. Scott was committed to jail. 1 hree colored boys flourished con siderably the other day on the proceeds of some five or six bags of rags which they purloined from G. lllyuiyer's stable. They were committed for trial. fifcajf-The weather has continued very favorable for cutting and housing the crops, and with the exception of oats nearly everything is now stored. The corn in this region gives promise of a heavy crop, and but needs a few showers to make it ear. North American notices an in vention by a former citizen of this place as follows: Wrought Iron Rolled. Railway Chairs, with Double Continuous Lips. —The process for the successful accomplishment of this feat in wrought iron, has recently been patented hy James Milliken, Esq., of this city; and the chairs are now produced in great perfection by the Phoenix Iron Company. These chairs are a desideratum long required in the per fection of railway joints. They are rolled over a mandril, which is the exact form of the flanges of the rail, and are finished with a base *f seven and one half inches, and with solid double continuous lips, which fit and clamp tightly any form or size of rails. The wide base resting on the cross ties, or contin uous bearing, gives the rail a firm support, and prevents it from sinking into the wood, while the perfect fit of the lips of the chair over the flanges of the rail forms a sleeve, which holds the rail firmly in its place and prevents vertical motion under the weight of approaching trains of cars. The perfection of the sleeve principle is uch that this chair has been used for the purpose of suspending the joints of rails be tween the cross ties, thus furnishing a joint of sufficient elasticity to prevent the "batter ing of rails" at the ends, which, by all former chairs, had not been obviated. When design ed to he used in this manner, the chairs are rolled to any required thickness which may he f mnd necessary to give equal strength and rigidity with any ether part of the rail. This chair has an advantage over any other sleeve or fish joint in use, in the fact that it does not require either bolts or screws—the source of so much trouble and expense in all forms of " fish joint"—and in the fact that it more nearly approaches a continuous rail. For the Gazette Mr. Hawn, as all know, opened a Normal school at Lewistown in the Spring, which 1 re gret to tay was not very highly patronized by the Teachers. Being personally acquainted with Mr. Hawn, both as a man and a teacher, I am fully satisfied that he is tht eery man for the responsible work he has assumed. He, in ad dition to years of practical knowledge, is in ev ery other way eminently qualified to make his school worthy the patronage of every teacher in the county. For the truth of this 1 have the testimony of all those who have been under his charge, and who readily confess that neither their time nor money could have been more profitably spent. Even should they wish to teach but for a single winter, tbey had as they say a very profitable time during the spring term. But certainly it would be more pleasant and much more profitable were their numbers augmented. The thought, that so few of the teachers seem disposed to avail themselves of this noble opportunity for improvement, must certainly give rise to emotions of pain to every individual who has his heart in the cause.— Come out then, teachers, after baivest, (there will be a term of six weeks.) Come and pre pare as you best can for the great work in which you are engaged. It is a great work— a glorious work—but at the same time a very responsible work. Endeavor to meet its respon sibilities—acquit yourselves nobly*. Raise the standard of education and you will strengthen the pillars of the Republic, you will raise still higher and render mure secure the ramparts against the evil one, and at the same time you will be promoting your own prosperity and hap piness, as well as the prosperity and happiness of mankind in general. Therefore, ! say again, come. A FRIEND OF EDUCATION. TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. —On Tuesday of last week, in company with a friend, we left home for a few days sojourn in or rather on the mountains, for it so happened that we got domiciled right on top of the Allegheny. The Express train under that well-tried and faithful conductor, Major Boley, safely landed us at Tyrone, after a pleasant ride of a few hours, at which point we took the Phillipsburg stage. This route was entirely new to us, and although hill and dale, mountain and valley, brushwood and laurel thickets are rather familiar ob jects, we found much to admire in the varied scenery constantly presented. The road is good, far better than we expected to see, and from Bald Eagle Furnace grad ually rises (with some three or four descents into rav.nes) for five miles. The ascent of the Backbone or Allegheny proper, is about three miles long, and at its commencement affords a most magnificent view of wood land scenerv —the eye, at a glance, taking in the whole range of hills, ridges and mountains which give rise to the headwaters of the Little and Main Juniata. About the hour when old-fashioned folks still eat dinner, to wit, 12 M., we arrived at the " Mountain House," aud having signified our intention of eating something, we soon after sat down to a plain but substantial dinner to which ample justice was done. We were sorry to learn that the landlord, on whom we had calculated !br advice and assistance, had that morning, with several neighbors, started out on a fishing and j hunting excursion to the Mushannon, the I very point we had desired to reach. The ' small streams in the neighborhood were j entirely too low for fishing, but in the af- j tcrnoon, with '• Bill" for a guide, we foi lowed a small run rising near the tavern, and caught a few dozen trout six, seven and eight inches long. The evening was un comfortably cool, and at an early hour we retired to rest. On the following morning we started oil' fbr a stream called Mount pleasant run, which was also very low. Al though well thrashed Ly the fishermen, it still contains a considerable number of trout, but we soon discovered that between the cattle and our wading it was rendered unfishablc,' a muddy sediment on the stones, moss and brush giving it a rather muddy color. \\ e had made arrangements with a wagoner to meet us at Bald Eatrle a Furnace 011 his return from Tyrone to "tote" ' us up the mountain, but before we reached ; the furnace we struck for the road, and ; strolling leisurely along, picking scarlet raspberries, Ac., gathering wood lilies and other flowers, admiring scenery, and tasting i/ature's tool and refreshing fountains, reached our hotel long before the wagoner, feeling less tired too than we have on many a trip of one-fourth the distance. Shortly after our return, word was brought by some children that a rattlesnake had got under a neighbor's house, and as the man was ab sent requesting the landlord's son to come and kill it. .Not coming back fur some time, we walked up and found his snake ship giving notice of his whereabouts by a continuous rattle—all efforts to expel him having proved unavailing. As iolks up there invite you to everything, we were re quested to assist in his capture, and with the aid of a pick and a few axes finally succeeded in prizing up a board of the floor. A pronged stick having been pro vided, it was got over his body so as to hold him, which stick we were directed to hold, when the landlord's son very deliberately proceeded to tie a rope round the snake's tail and thus captured the "varmint" alive. This made the third rattlesnake we saw that day, all too on the turnpike, a young one having crossed the road before us in the morning—the secoud one had been killed by Gov. Bigler while traveling in the stage from Tyrone to Phillipsburg, and the third captured as above. We saw none however in the woods. Game is said to be unusually abundant in the Allegheny this year, deer being daily seen near the roads, bear signs in the thick ets, and for those who prefer it a panther is said to be now prowling about on Cold stream. The " Mountain House" is just the place for a party to stop at, being easi ly reached, and all about it apparently anx ious to render visitors comfortable. The landlord, J. S. Kadebach, is always ready to make one of a party and show the good spots, whether it be hunting deer, bear, pheasants, rattlesnakes, or anything else, while all others whom we met, whether man, woman or child, seemed to be govern ed by the same feelings. We had intended to call on that " Bell" of the Star at Tyrone to see what kind of metal he is made of, but time would not permit. Tyrone has improved considera bly since our last visit, and should the Phillipsburg and Lock Haven llailroada, both of which terminate there, be comple ted, it cau hardly fail to become a leading country town. The Phillipsburg road is in most part graded, and we hare no dotibt will be completed in another year under the energetic efforts of Judge Hale and others. The Phillipsburg coal is at pres ent transported in wagons to Tyrone and other points, and seems to be a "preferred" article, which the railroad will then supply, while large tracts of timber, heretofore in accessible, will come into market by the same means, To the Volunteers of Pennsylvania. Adjutant htxißn.'s Office, 1 II ARRisbURo, July 22, 1858. j I have received many letters making inqui ries as to the payment of \ olunteers visitin" the Encampment ordered at Williarnsparb | September 7, 1858, and it being impossible j to answer all of these communications, I deem it proper to make this public reply. The 6th article, sections 1 and 2 of the Constitution of our Commonwealth, requires its " freemen to be armed and disciplined for its defence," arid in obedience to that injunc tion, our Legislatures from time to time have passed laws regulating the Militia, the last law bearing date April 21, 1858. - < ? u . r jM'htia System, for many causes, has tailed heretofore to accomplish the purpose at leust, of discipline. The law of last winter vvas passed with especial reference to that de sign, and as an inducement to our able bodied citizens—farmers, mechanics and laborers— to mrm themselves into companies uniformed and equipped in a proper manner, provided a payment to them of one dollar and fifty cents per day, (not to exceed six days) as some equivalent for the time consumed in schooling themselves in military tactics. The Leisla tore wisely provided for the proper payment ot these and other military expenses, by au thorizing and requiring a military tax to be assessed and collected throughout the State and appropriated especially to the military fund, so much thereof as should be necessary to be used for military purposes, and directed | the surplus left to be paid into the State Treas ! ury. No other fund can be touched for the payment of the volunteer militia but this one | and the surplus, after it reaches the Treasury,' i cannot ba touched for the payment of anv , lb vision or Brigade military expenses. The j State Treasury is relieved from any burden ( or liability in these matters, j Every county in rhe State is constituted a ' Brigade, and the militia tax raised in each i> f I applied to the payment of its military expen j ses, and if tho military taxes paid are less [ than the expenses, the volunteers of that Bri ; gadc must then remain unpaid to that amount There is established in every brigade a Board ' (,f Auditors, composed of military men who are required to audit the military expenses of their respective brigades, and are authorized ; t) draw an order on the County Treasurer for j such as shall meet their approbation, to be PJt'd out of the military fund, if any, in the i Treasurer's hands. Military companies attending cauip " Sus quehanna" in September next, are entitled to daily pay far their attendance, which will be paid out of the military fund of the brigade ; to which they respectively belong, but should j there he no fund in the particular brigade to | pay the same, then the companies will remain | unpaid, hut if the collectors are faithful in . their duties, each brigade will hare a fund ! more than sufficient for this and their ordi- I nary expenses. : Ihe rules and regulations from my office ! ! are now in the hands of the State Printer. I and will soon be ready for publication, i ! make the following extract from them, as ap plicable to the present subject, viz: MILITARY EXPENSES. Ihe military fund in the State Treasury is responsible for no military expenses except those of the Adjutant General, General Stall', military storekeepers, repairs of arsenal and repairs of arms, c. If tl a military* fund in any county is not sufficient tor the payment of the expenses of the brigade, the county treasurer will make a pro rata division among the several claimants. No officer whatever, in any division or bri gade, lias any authority to make expenses which shall in any event" be chargeable to the State. The county treasurers will be careful and observe the law, in making payments, and are directed— 1. lo pay no military expenses unless on the order ot the Board of Auditors, as direct od by act of Assembly of April 21, 1858. 2. The salaries of Brigade Inspectors will not be paid until the close of the militarv year, being the last day in December in each year; if paid before, and the said Inspectors have not made their proper returns to this office, the treasurers do s„ at their own risk. The law requires this salary not to be paid until notice is given to tre.vurers by the Ad jutant General. The Brigade Board of Auditors will observe a proper economy iu the expenses of their brigade, and pass, no bii: that are in aDy way exorbitant. J All military officers are enjoined to take especial care that the proper assessments are made, and all the military taxes collected. All collectors ond treasurers will be held to a strict account, under the law in relation to the collection of military fines aud taxes." The Encampment at Williauisport will be large and re>j and it is desired by this department thai us many companies as possi ble be punctually in attendance at that time. It is a "camp of Instruction," and many able military men from this and other States will be there to impart instruction and give to the volunteers assembled the lenefit of their kuowledge and experience. However much we may regret their absence yet those who cannot bear the additional ex' penses are not expected to be in camp—but all who can do so conveniently should have military pride enough to attend promntlv where duty calls them. • A sufficient number of excellent tents will be provided for the accommodation of all, and the Quartermaster General will assign quar ters to all companies immediately on their ar rival in camp. In closing this communication. I am pleased to state that tho Commonwealth is likely to receive a handsome surplus from the military fund, which will find its way into the sinking fund, and assist in paying the debt that hangs so heavily on our people. Respectfully, EDWIN C. WILSON, Adj't Gen. •©-The demands made on the country press for publishing articles that ought to be paid for, may be estimated from the fact that in one day day last week we received requests by mail to publish about fire columns of such matter.
