Arming the State.
Tho Harrisburg Telegraph calls on the
Legislature to arm this State, to meet the
threats of Southern disunionists. So long
as Maryland remains true to the Union, we
do not think such a proceeding absolutely
necessary; but whenever the tory senti
ment obtains sufficient prominence in that
State to indicate disunion success, we shall
advocate the placing of arms in the hands
of every enrolled citizen in the State—
the formation of companies in every dis
trict, with drills at least once a week—to
gether with such other measures as will
place Pennsylvania in an altitude of de
fence worthy of her name. Indeed, should
Maryland unfortunately assume a hostile
attitude, we know of no better mode for
preserving peace, than for the great States
of New 1 era, Pennsylvania, and Ohio,
with their ten millions of inhabitants, to
put into the field an army of citizen sol
diers such as no other country has ever
seen. We trust however there will be no
occasion for any such manifestation, as, in
common with all others, we hope there is
patriotism enough in Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky, ieunessee, and Missouri, to
stay the madness of South Carolina and
its confederates in treason, and render nug
atory the unaccountable course of .Tames
Buchanan s administration.

intense excitement was created at i
1 ittsburg last week by the discovery that a i
large number of cannon were to be shipped
from the arsenal there to points on the south
ern coast, for the purpose as was believed of
placing them where the secessionists could
easily take them.
1 reason in South Carolina having ta
ken a tangible shape, we would suggest that
it is time for our citizens to mark those who
aid and abet it by siding with the traitors.

is a remarkable fact that Buchan- !
nu s administration lias been more disastrous
to a.l classes except government swindlers '
than any other since the formation of this ;
government. lie took his seat in March, '

have been becoming poorer, the country has
been in a continued state of agitation, and i
by his want of nerve he bids fair to destroy j
our whole fabric. Let every mechanic, every |

The Banks of the Interior.
Ihe interior Banks of Pennsylvania have
been remitting for their notes, since the sus
pension, to hanks and brokers in Philadel
phia , . ut exchange on Baltimore, Pittsburg,
and geoeitii-ry throughout the country, raug
ing from 1J to 10 per cent. Pennsylvania
currency has beisn remitted fro all parts of
the country to Philadelphia to make exchange.,
and thus a very large and continually increas
ing amount sent home to banks in the Inter
ior for redemption, while their iacome of par
funds has been most seriously diminished by
the suspension.
The process, by rapidly curtailing the
means of the banks, is leading to a consider
able reduction of their discounts, and crip
pling the business of the country; and the
city banks, which make iuo exchanges with
other points, are enabled to keep up their
regular business.
"We are glad to learn that in consequence
of this state of things, the interior banks
have agreed not to remit for tlieir note 3 when
sent up from Philadelphia—preferingto keep
themselves in position for doing their appro
pii ite .current business, and keeping theiu
selves stronger for resumption, when that
day comes round. They have agreed also to
take each other's notes on deposits and in
payment of debt.-;. Wc have ao doubt these
.decisions will work favorably for the business
of the interior.— Harrisburg Telegraph.
Progress of the Rebellion.
On Thursday, the 20th of December,
1800, the South Carolina Convention met
at Institute Hall, in Charleston, having
been driven from Columbia by the smaii
pox, and signed the Ordinance of Seces
sion, the first formal act of rebellion ever
begun against the government of these
States. It had been engrossed beautifully
on parchment, says the telegram convey
ing us this information. The time is not
far distant, when that parchment and its
contents arid its signatures, will have any
thing but beauty in the eyes of its sign
ers, and of the people whom they have de
luded into revolution against the most just
and glorious government the sun ever
shone upon
On the next day the Convention sat
again, and perpetrated the completemcnt
of tbe folly of the previous day in the form
of a Declaration of Independence! It is
uuworthy of the name of a State paper—
the only thing worthy of attention in it,
l>eing two or three eloquent passages, stolen
from the declaration of the Thirteen Colo
nics, and desecrated by a forced applica
tion to this treasonable act of theirs.
Messrs. Barnwell, Adams and Orr have
been deputed as Commissioners to proceed
to Washington to treat with the govern
ment of the United States for the acknowl
| edgcment of the independence of South
: Carolina, and for an equitable division ot
'*the common property of the United States,
of which that State claims a share ! The
appearance of those gentlemen in the Cap
itol on such a mission, if Jackson were at
the head of the government, would be apt
to be the most uncomfortable act of their
lives. We can imagine, says the Balti
more Patriot, the hero of New Orleans,
bringing his staff down to the floor with an
increased energy, and saluting the emissa
ries of a State in rebellion against the
United States with an oath that would
overwhelm tlicin with confusion. And we
can imagine the next act which the public
safety would demand. Mr. Buchanan,
however, has since received these Commis
sioners into his honse, and no doubt dis
cussed disunion with them as calmly as if
they were not guilty of treason !
The propositions submitted to the revo
lutionary convention bore unmistakable ev
idence of the fact that the authors of se
cession had got the tiger by the ears—had
plunged into a sea of difficulties that
threatens to ingulf them. Not one propo
sition was submitted that could lead them
out of their perplexities. They are in the
wilderness, and they have no cloud by day
nor pillar of fire by nigbt to lead them for
ward. All is darkness, confusion, ruin.
Every thing done, was in the way of pul
ling down. That's an easy work, at all
times. They rescinded the oath of alle
giance to the Federal Government, on the
part of the State officers, and substituted
one for the State only. Secret sessions
were resolved on and held. They are
afraid of the public eye and public ear.
How different the course of the body that
declared our independence of the Colo
nies !
Since then discussions have been going
on as to the proper course to be pursued
relative to the collection of revenue and
postage, and the convention finally resolved
to continue the present officers as Slate
officers, but as no government will recog
nize clearances, the commerce of Charles
ton will, unless an adjustment "13 made,
dwindle down to nothing.
The news from Charleston, first received
by a dispatch from the Baltimore Ameri
can's correspondent at that point, on last
Thursday, created an intense excitement
throughout the United States. The an
nouncement of the evacuation of Fort ;
Moultrie and the occupation of Fort Sum- i
ter was received with various expressions
of opinions, but the predominant one was
a feeling of admiration for the determined
conduct and military skill of Col. Ander
son in abandoning an indefensible position,
and, by a strategetic coup de main, which
lias reversed the whole position of affairs,
transferring his force to Fort Sumter, the j
strongest of the Charleston fortifications,
and the key of its defences. Col. Ander
son is believed to have acted in this matter
without special orders, but as ho has charge
of all the forts, the disposition of the force
■under his command is a matter in regard
1 to which he may be supposod to have full
authority. The event caused the utmost
excitement in Charleston; the military as
-1 sembled, and a disposition was evinced to
immediately attack Fort {Sumter. But as
the transfer of the force from one fort to
another though radically changing the as
pect of affairs, is not a reinforcement
of ;rfiese forts, and as Governor Pickens
has declared that, except in the case of an
attempted reinforcement, South Carolina
would not attempt to take possession of
the forts, we scarcely think that the imme
diate commencement of hostiskies is
able. In one aspect we cannot but regard
the news as favorable. The.continued pos-
session of the forts by the Federal Govern
ment is a necessity, if the efforts for a
peaceable settlement of the difficulties are
to be continued. If the United States
forces were ouce driven out, war would be
an almost unavoidable consequence.
On the following day the authorities of
South Carolina took possession of Caftle
Piuckney and Fort Moultrie. The act of
capture appears in both instances to htve
been accomplished without violence, the
works being practically abandoned by the
United States, and though legally an act of
war against the Federal Government, the
probability is that in the present disposi
tion of the Administration no stringent
rule of judgment will be adopted, and
that the Star-Spangled Banner and the
Palmetto Flag will for some time at least
wave only a diplomatic defiance from Forts
Sumter and Moultrie. Whilst the Gov- ;
eminent retains possession of Fort Sum
ter the occupancy of Fort Moultrie bv the ;
Secessionists is practically of little conse
quence. The impression is strengtlrfSing
that Col. Anderson's roup lie main will:
prove to be really a movement in behalf of j
maintaining peace.
The Secretary of the Treasury on the
29th received a despatch from Charleston,
stating that the revenue iutter in the port
of Charleston had been seized by the au
thorities, and that the ctptain, who isana
of Charleston, has resigned. This intelli- ,
gence was inimediatelj communicated to !
the Cabinet.
r l lie Navy Depart mien t also received a
despatch from Lieut. Jfines P. Foster, com
manding the slaver Boiita, whieh was car
ried into Charleston, sating that his pris
oner, the captain of tie slaver, had been
taken before a State jadge by writ of ha
beas corpus, that the judge remanded the
prisoner to his custodyon the ground that
he had no jurisdiction,and that on his way
to the Bonita with his irisoner he had been
taken by force from hij custody by a mob.

UNION MEETING.—A large number of
the citizens of Mifflin county assembled at j
the Town Hall on Saturday afternoon last, .
to take into consideration the state of the '
country. The meeting was organized by :
the appointment of the following officers: •
President, W. P. Elliott—Vice Presidents,
Holmes Maclay, Davis Pates, Col. Cum- j
tnins, Col. Josiah Kerr, H. I'. Taylor, Jo
seph Ilnffly, George Wilson, I'. McK.

Burns, and John McKee—Secretaries,
George Frysinger, T. F. McCoy, Jamefe
Maun, Samuel Karhart, Col. John McDow
ell. Jr., and Robert A. McKee.
A committee on resolutions was appoint
ed, who reported the following:
WHIT.ILVS, A crisis of the most alarming character is
now upon our beloved country, involving, as it does,
not only the vitul interests of labor, trade, commerce
and agriculture, but seriously threatening to sunder
the political bonds of the Union and the Constitution
that binds us together and constitutes us the greatest
and frec-est nation on earth, and thus producing an
archy and confusion, ami destroying that fraternal
feeling and nationality which have characterized us
as a united, prosperous, and happy people—
Therefore, Resolved, Ist. That we, the citizens of
Central Pennsylvania, assembled at Lewistown, regard
the Constitution of the United States as the charter
and palladium of our liberties, the great political foun
tain of our prosperity, happiness anil greatness—that
we entertain an abiding attachment to all its sacred
obligations and compromises, and that prompt ola-iii
euce should be given, without any evasion, to all its
provisions.
2d. That the second section of the fourth article of
the Constitution, providing for the rendition of fugi
tive? slaves, we recognize as binding, equally with out
er provisions, together with all the laws passed for a
complete anil efficient enforcement thereof.
ad. That we deeply deplore all enactments by State
Legislatures to evade or defeat the provisions of the
Constitution which its framers wisely inserted for the
protection of valuable rights of the citizens of oth
er States—that we pronounce all such legislation to be
in violation of the solemn compact by which we are
made one people, and demand its repeal wherever ex
isting.
•t. l'hat we respectfully and earnestly recommend
to our State Legislature, soon to assemble, a careful
revision of our ntatute Book, and if there he any law
therein hostile to any provision of the constitution of
the United States, or calculated to obstruct the en
forcement of any law of Congress providing for the
rendition of fugitives from labor or servitude, thai the
same be repealed.
5. That in our judgement it is the opinion of the
people of Pennsylvania that the constitutional rights
of all sections should be respected and secured, that
ail the laws should be faithfully and promptly execu
ted. and that the. union of the States, the constitution
and laws of the United States bo maintained and en
forced in alt their integrity.
6. That the recent political action of Pennsylvania
should not lie understood as expressive of any inten
tion or desire on the part of the people of the State to
impair the constitutional rtgnis oi the soinw. >a —„
view with extreme regret the prevailing sentiment
that seems to exist in that part of the country to the
contrary, being as it is. false in fact, and calamitous in
tendency, doing gross injustice to a noble State—the
'* Keystone State —and Iter patriotic people, whose
whole historv demonstrates to have acted in good
faith, and with as pc-rfoet fidelity to our brethren of
the South as to our own citizens.
7. In thus acknowledging fully and freely all the
just constitutional rights to which any of the South
ern States and people are entitled, we as freely and as
confidentially claim and maintain that the Govern
ment of the "United States possesses the power under
the constitution of preserving its own existence, and
its integrity, of executing the laws, as well as of re
dressing grievances, and that there arc* no existing
burdens tnat cannot he removed under its venerated
and wise provisions—and we unhesitatingly affirm
therefore that this "more perfect Union," lormed by
our Revolutionary Fathers, for "ensuring justice, do
mestic tranquility, and the genera! welfare," is essen
tial to the existence of peace at home and respect
abroad, and "must and shali be preserved."
8. That we cordially approve the suggestion made
by many of our statesmen of all parties of so defining
the subject of slavery and the rights of those States
and people where it exists by a constitutional provi
sion—that it will he so definitely tixed and determined
that it may forever be driven from the national coun
cils and the polities of the country, and the real and
true interests of the people, so vital to their prosper
ity. receive that consideration to which they are so
justly entitled—when we feel assured that the auspi
cious era of good feeling will return—the dark cloud
of secession aud disunion will disappear—a merciful
Providence who has been our guide and guardian will
smile upon us—and the people of this heretofore hap
py and peaceful land, east and west, north and south,
will again dwell together in fraternal concord and per
petual unity, never to be severed; we trust in a gra
cious God, while " the earth bc-ars a plant or the sea
rolls a wave."
9. That we cordially approve of the course and
conduct of Major Anderson, in changing his position
from Fori Moultrie to that of Fort Sumter, upon the
ground tnat the safety of the United States property
and the brave men under his command required such
action, and that we hope he will be sustained cy the
general government. ...
10. That the proceedings of this meeting oe
by the officers thereof, and copies be transmitted by
the President to Gov. Packer, Senators Bigler and
Cameron, and to Hon. James T. Hale, our representa
tive in Congress.
A discussion ensued relative to a resolu
tion endorsing the course of Gens. Scott
and Cass, during which S. S. Woods, D.
\V. Woods, and John A. MoKee spoke in
favor, and E. Banks, T. M. Utley, and J.
S. Waream, who feared it was treading on
Mr. Buchanan's toes, opposed it. The
resolution finally passed in the shape of a
substitute, as follows:
Resolvfd. That if Major Anderson now requests rein- ;
foreements. the President be recommended to send ;
them, if consistent with the public interests.
The meeting, as a general thing, passed
off well, and but for some ill-timed remarks j
by one of the speakers whose pro-slavery !
proclivities are so strong that he can see ]
uo good in thg North, would have passed
off better.
INFAMOUS ROBBERY. —Tho dwelling
house of Harrison Bufur, near the furnace,
was entered on Tuesday evening, and a
trunk taken therefrom containing among
other things S3BO in gold and silver. The
mouey consisted of six S2O gold pieces,
$l3O in American quarters (mostly new,)
and the balance in $2.505, sss and one $lO
| gold piece. The trunk was afterwards
; found at the cinder pile, minus the money.
! The sum stolen was the hard earnings for
| several years of an industrious voting man,
and it is to be hoped our citizens generally
will keep an eye on suspicious persons.
THIEVING— The candle factory of
Frank Ileisler was entered 011 Wednesday
night, 19th ult., and about 70 lbs. of can
dles and a coat carried oft*. A memoran
dum book in the coat pocket was next dav
generously returned, the thief having prob
ably no use for it, while he thought Mr. <
II might have.
On Saturday night, 22d ult., a large tur- !
key, weighing about 10 lbs. cleaned, which
; Joseph S. Waream had hung out from a '
second story Lack window, at his dwelling j
;in West Third street—an object probably
ot Epicurean anticipation for Christmas—
mysteriously disappeared, together with
four chickens from the coop. Joseph we
understand for some time thought it a joke
of his brethren.
The house of 11. A. Zollinger, in Me-}
Xeal's row. was entered on Saturday night, j
and tho contents of the paatry completely '
gutted, even to removing nearly a barrel of I
flour, which was dipped up and probably J
taken away in a bag. Such thieving is not ,
the result of poverty, as those who steal to |
appease hunger, would at least leave somo- j
thing for a family to eat. The meat wss i
fortunately in the cellar.
KAKROW ESCAPE.—AH Mr. E. Jones
was about btarting from Sample's Hotel on
thG 20th ult.. with a lorse and buggy, the
animal took fright f-oni a buffalo robe
which Mr. J. was pacing in the vehicle,
and ran off. Miss IMI had already got in
and held on to the lnes, while Mr. Jones
seized hold of the brdle, but all efforts to
step the affrighted aritual proved fruitless.
In front of Mr. Fratniscus's hardware store
the buggy struck a vagon, and threw Miss
Bell out, falling wih considerable force
She was taken into 3r. F's house in an in
sensible condition, bu was subsequently re
moved to her boardng house; although
somewhat bruised shewas not seriously in

Rev. Henry Baker ?aetor of the Lutheran j
Congregation at Lewistown, preached his last •
ccrtnotto on Onbhaih, Prcnaber 30U>, lwso, to
large audiences. He held a communion sea
son in the evening. An excellent feeling per
vaded the congregation, and the closing ad
dress of the retiring pastor was very hnprea
sive, and produced a profound feeling through
out the vast assembly.
The Church Council subsequently me*, and j
passed the following resolutions :
Resolved, That we regret that the Rev. H
Baker has determined to sever the ties which
have bound us together ns pastor and people
for three years and three months, during
which time we have enjoyed many pleasant
seasons, and have gained much religious
knowledge and Christian experience together.
Resolved, That we have ever found him to
be a true Christian, and gentleman, ever kind
and courteous to all around him. in preach
ing the word nc was faithful and sincere, giv
ing to saint and sinner each their portion in
due season, throwing into his sermons that
life and spirit which has made him eminent
ly successful in winning souls to Christ, and
has established for him a reputation ae one of
the best re .'ivalists of the day.
Resolved, That our best wishes go with bim
to his new field of labor, and hope he may he
as successful in gaining the friendship and
esteem of his peoplo ns he has been amongst
us. And we pray the great head of the church
that he may have a long life f usefulness,
and that his family may long continue to en
joy health, happiness, and prosperity.
SSO Reward.
THE house of the undersigned was enter j
ed on Tuesday evening last, between sev
en and eight o'clock, during a short absence j
of my family, and a trunk taken therefrom j
containing $350 in gold and silver, viz: six i
S2O gold pieces, $l3O in American quarters,
mostly new, and the balance in $2.505, sss,
and one $lO gold piece, The money was in
three small muslin bags, oneof which was empt
ied and the other two taken away. The trunk
