We have no objection to the Democrat republishing the Free Trade articles of the N. Y. Evening Post. That paper has always been a free trade advocate, first as a democratic organ, next abolition, and more recently as republican, but by no means represents the republican party of this and many other States, which com prises a vast body of men who believe pro tection to American Industry alone can protect the wages of laboring men, and prevent them from becoming mere serfs, as they are in Great Britain and other European Kingdoms. Neither the Post's nor the Democrat's logic can efface one ma terial fact, to wit, that while the great body of republicans are in favor of ade quate protection, so that the'development of our iron and other ores can be carried on with remunerative labor to the work iugman, the patent democracy has, since the days of Polk and Dallas, advocated a system which fostered foreign products at the expense of home labor. Take iron and steel for examples : If, the Democrat would say, British capitalists who pay from 20 to 70 cents per day for labor, can furnish iron and steel iu this county for less than Glamorgan can furnish the for mer, or Freedom the latter, do not pro tect them by a sufficient duty, but use British iron because it is the cheapest. Such a doctrine must inevitably result in one of two things—either those compa nies would have to stop work, and thus render all the ore banks in this county as valueless as they were some years ago, or the wages of all labqr connected with mining and smelting ores would have to come down to correspond with British labor—a labor which knows little of wheat bread and meats as food. One thing iu connection with these subjects is certain, the owners of ore banks, furnaces, forges, <k.:. iu this region, will never owe their development and prosperity to the patent democratic party. Political. The republican county convention of Blair county mot on the 4th, and unani mously nominated Hon. L. \V. Hall for the State Senate, with power to appoint his own conferees. Samuel MeCauiant was re-nominated for Assembly; Captain John McKeage for Sheriff; Joshua Roller lor County Commissioner; Robert War ing for Jury Commissioner; David Craw ford for Director of Poor; Charles Curlier for Coroner; Geo. W. Hoover for County Auditor. The Republicans of Beaver county have placed in nomination the following ex cellent ticket: For Assembly, Thomas -Nicholson ; Prothonotary, John Coughev; Treasurer, Captain E. Barnes; Commis sioner, William Ewiug; Associate Judge, Hon. M. Lawrence. Resolutions in favor of General W. \V. Irwin for State Treas urer, and in favor of a free railroad law were passed. Hon. M. S. Quay and Col. .1. Weyand were elected delegates to the State Convention, with instructions to vote first for lion. 11. \V. Williams, ot Pittsburg, for Supreme Judge, and after him forjudge Pearson. The Republicans of Armstrong county have nominated Col. S. M. Jackson a their candidate for Assembly. This is one of the best nominations that could have been made. The Colonel has served his country faithfully on the battle field, and will do his duty equally as well as the representative of Armstrong county in I he halls of legislation. Sheriff, David J. Reed; Treasurer, John M'Clelland; District At torney, J. O. Barrett; Jury Commission er, Geo. B. Sloan; Commissioner, Daniel Single; Auditor, Geo. <!. BoreJand.

Henry Johnson, of Muncy, is spoken of as a Republican candidate i'or Senator in the Xlvth District. Surratt was brought into court for trial at Washington on Monday. Gen. Sheridan, like Butler, is producing order out of disorder in New Orleans and Louisiana generally. The rebel Gen.

Johnson, an intelligent color ed man, has been appointed clerk to one branch of the Washington Council. Hon. I). J. Morrel 1 is one of tlie Vice Presidents, and is also on the Executive Committee of tlie American Industry I iCague. The Hartford Carpet Mills at Tariff ville, (Connecticut, the largest, establisb ment in this couutry, were destroyed by fire on Monday morning. According to a piece of rhyme without reason in the last Democrat, the faith of the government ought to be broken and its bonds taxed for all local purposes as i well as Income. It is strange that the Democrat and other papers of that stamp arc inimical only to U. S. Bonds, having all their lives sat quietly by ami seen State and company bonds and stocks, rail road bonds, railroad stocks, and dozens of other such mutters exempt from general local taxation. Telegraphic Dispatches. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. PARIS, June d.—A cowardly attempt was made th is afternoon to assassinate the Emperor of Russia while driving back from the grand review with the Emperor Napoleon. In the Imperial carriage at the time were the Czar, his two sons, and the Emjteror of France. The attempt was made while they were returning through the Bois de Boulogne. A young man, sibout twenty years of age, tired a pistol at the Czar, it would seem that the pistol was ov. rloaded, and explo ded, wounding the hand of the a-.-as.-in. It is said a bystander threw up the arm of the wretch sis he tired the pistol, and that he was instantly cut down by the escort, and made a prisoner, severely wounded. The Imperial carriage passed on without halting. It is supposed the villain is a Pole, for just previous to tiie attempt cries of " lire la Poloyne /" were heard. The Imperial party escaped injury. A thous and rumors are m circulation, and there is great excitement in Paris. No further facts are positively known than the at tempted assassination, the escape of the Czar, and the seizure of the assassin. The Czar will receive universal congrat ulatains. This is his second escape from assassination.

A Paper Boat. —A paper-shell boat, manufactured by Mr. Waters, of Troy, was tried on the Hudson river on Friday, and proved a complete success. The boat is about thirty feet long, and weighs forty pounds, j t is much lighter than wood, and so far as the application of this mate rial to tiie construction of shell-bouts is concerned it would seem to justify the prediction that piper will entirely take the place of wood in future. The paper is quite thin, but is rendered impervious to water by a coating of oil and other com position, which makes it wonderfully tenacious and strong. It is more durable than wood, and will withstand shocks which would destroy a wooden shell. Air tight compartments are located in both the bow ami stern of the boat, which are supplied with air through a rubber tube and stop-cock, rendering the boat exceed ingly buoyant. Correspondence of the flxucUc. WASHINGTON, D. June 4, 'O7. MESSRS. EDITORS: —In company with a few friends, 1 left home on the 22(1 tilt., for a trip to tiie famous Shenandoah Val ley. We spent about a week Iu the val ley, staging and footing it from Winches ter to Staunton, stopping most of the time in Rockingham county. Our object was to ascertain the feelings of the people to ward Northern people and note tiie price, quality, and condition of land, with the inducements held out to buyers. From the Potomac river at Williatns po.*t all the way to Staunton the sears and ruins of war are vet to be seen on all sides. Fenceless commons, dilapidated stone fences, and the ash. s and black walls of destroyed bridges and buildings are still to be seen on the battlefields of this hi<- toric valley. True, in some localities, the people have gone to work again and have built new fences and erected buildings, while others are unable to do so, and some are too shiftless to make any exertion unless driven to it by stern necessity. i ne middle class are a generous and hospitable people and welcome Northern ers who come among them with the in- tention of locating there. What is need e 1 in \ irginia, at tins time, is capital, an infusion of Northern enterprise, and the establishment of a good system of public ■.ehoots. The lowest class of whites and toe I- !'• \'s are, so tar as I could learn, almost without exception as bitterns ever ,in their dislike of "the Yankees" and their attaehment to the secession infatua tion. But they all express themselves as willing to yield obedience to the laws of the ( 11 ited States since they have been conquered by tlie force of arms. In gen eral, the people are remarkably quiet eou -erniug tlie war and national at lairs; only t few of the strongest will drag the subject into common conversation. i here is a wide-spread distrust of the "greenbacks" among Virginians that is -urpti-ingand amusing to those who have lived where their value and reliability as I currency have never been seriously ques tioned. If you laugh at their fears they will tell you that "a burnt child dreads lie tire; we were once caught with a paper currency and there is no telling what may happen again." There is more specie in circulation in Virginia than with us in Pennsylvania, liecansc a few , people in selling'their lands and other property bargain for specie or its equiva lent. A wealthy ex-slaveholder who was "audit witli twenty thousand dollars of ' oiifcderate money at the time o Dee's •urrender showed us a satchel of gold coin ind slapping it between his bands he said deetuily, " Here is the st oil' that is always good." Ihe dread of confiscation is also general and causes considerable uneasi ness. Q.uitea number of Pennsylvanians have visited the Shenandoah Valley with the intention of buying land, but compara tively few buy, probably because of the somewhat, unsettled condition of allairs and the high prices asked for laud, con sidering the condition of the improve ments. Any one who sees what tine crops of grain and grass grow in spite of the miserable larrning must be convince t that. ; there is an abundance of land of the best quality in the Shenandoah Valley, but limestone rocks, stone walls, and bills arc quite too numerous for my taste. Lund '■an be bought at figures'ranging from twenty to one hundred dollars per acre the price varying with the quality, loca tion, and improvements. Limestone land "" jhe Valley turnpike mid with very in dificrcnt improvements is held at from sixty to eighty doll irs per acre in Rock ingham county.

A Courageous Woman. —A remarkable act of courage was performed lately at Marseilles by a young married woman named Costa.

Terrifir explosion of ;i steam liailcr—brcat S.oss of Life. A most appalling accident occurred on Thursday afternoon, between live and six o'clock, by tiie explosion of a steam-boiler in a large live-story building in the rear of Hansom Street, between Tenth and Eleventh, Philadelphia. The building was reduced to a heap of ruins in less than a minute, burying from thirty to thirty five workmen. It seems that the engine wanted pack ing, and several men were sent from the machine-shop of Mr. Win. T. King, im mediately opposite, to do the work. They accomplished this in about one hour and a half, and then retired, in about live minutes after the explosion occurred. The engineer had started t be engine, and turn ed the water on to supply the boiler. This caused the explosion. I pon examining the premises, it seems that tin north foundation wail was forced from its position by the boiler; hence the crumbling of the walls. The joist that supported each floor fell uniformly, but the other material, bricks, boards, bench es, and unfinished work, fell in between them in one dense mass of shapeless mat ter. '1 lie scone is described as appalling in the greatest degree. The near residents after recovering from the terrible shock, rushed to the rescue. The piercing shrieks of the unfortunate men buried near the surface of the ruins, the stilled groans of others still further down, were truly heartrending and appalling, and fairly paralyzing in their eltects. Presently, amid all this destruction of ■ matter and combustible material, smoke was seen curling out from the top of the pile. The forge used by Messrs. Miller it Reeder had fired the rubbish. Now it was that the shrieks of the doomed men were more terrible than ever. The lire men were speedily in attendance, and la bored with herculean strength to rescue the unfortunates, and one or two were got out. lint the flames increased fearfully, and nothing could be done to save the buried ami half-stilled men. Besides danger of suffocation, a more horrible death encroached upon them, that of lire or scalding water, for it was necessary for the firemen to apply the wa ter to prevent a more general destruction. In a short time the entire pile of rubbish, with its twenty-live or thirty bodies, was one mass of fire. The probability is that some of the bodies were entirely destroy ed ; those got from the ruins could not i>c identified except from clothing. The machine shop of \V. T. King was used as the reception room of the charred remains of the unfortunate men. A mill-! gled mass of headless trunks— trunks without arms or legs, were piled up there in one hideous mass.

U'e cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu sical instrument more perfect, although we are stow to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be attained. Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre sent excellence, they had submitted thein to compe tition with instruments of the best makers of this country and Europe, and received the reward of mer it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It is but justice to say that thejudgmenr thus pronounced lias not been overruled by the musical world. Still, by the improvements lately applied by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in strument has been made. They have accordingly achieved the paradox of making excellence more excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the motto'-Excelsior." novlt-ly ITCH ! ITCH ! ITCH ! SCRATCH ! SCRATCH !
