Judge Long. This gentleman took his seat on the Bench for the first time on Tuesday morning last, having received a commission from the Governor to fill unexpired term of Judge Lewis. DU<regular term will commence on the first Monday of De cember, the period at which all the Judges elect will enter upon the discharge of their duties. Judge Long, during the week he has now presL ded over our Courts, has made a decidedly favorable impression. .Courteous, kind and obliging, be is yet prompt, firm, and decided in his action—and we doubt not that in his future course he will com mand the respect and confidence of this entire community. We are gratified that the office so ably and satisfactorily filled by Judge Lewis iof the last eight or nine years, hasjpassed into such worthy hands. Psnnsylnania School System. —Thomas H. Burrowes, Esq.,'of this City, lor several years the head of the School System in this State, during Gov. Ritner’s administration, delivered an address> before the Lancaster county Educational Conven tion on the 4th inst., which, having since been pub lished, exhibits, among other matters of interest the magnitude of .the common School System of this State, which is*highly creditable to the char acter of the Commonwealth, and shows the deep interest taken in this State in the cause of general education. In the seventeen years that the system has been in operation, the people of Pennsylvania have expended over fifteen millions of dollars in sup port of this noble effort, exclusive of the large sums annually paid to sustain the numerous private academies, seminaries and schools, which are also giving their invaluable aid to the cause of general education. The number of schools in the State has increased from 762 to 9200, and the teachers from 808 to 11,600. The pupils number half a million, and the annual cost of the system is now $1,400,- 000. Bedford District for Buchananu On Tuesday last,, the 18th inst., the Conferees from Bedford, Cambria and Fulton Counties, met by appointment at Bedford, and elected Hon. Philip Noon, ot Cambria, and J. B. Sansom, Esq., of Fulton, as Representative Delegates to the Fourth of March Convention, with unanimous instructions to support the Hon. ‘James Buchasan for the Presidency. . It will be recollected that the Hon. Isaac Hugus, of Somerset, late State Senator, was chosen torial Delegate, several weeks ago, from the Dis. trict composed of the counties of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton, with instructions likewise to support Mr. Buchanan. The above selection makes NINETEEN dele gates already instructed for Mr. Buchanan. Of the other delegates elncted in the State, nine are > instructed for Gen. CasS} and the_ remaining seventeen are uninstructed. Of these last, it is known that twelve are decidedly ' friendly to Mr* Buchanan, and will support him, in preference to all other candidates, in the State Convention, whilst but three are known to be openly and avowedly the friends of Gen. Cass. The game, therefore, now stands 31 for Buch anan; 12 for Cass, and 2 doubtful. Nearly two-thirds of the delegates in the State are yet to be elected—at least four-fifths oi whom we have every reason to believe will be lor Mr. Buchanan. 10" The Meadville Sentine Hias raised the name of Mr. Buchanan to its masthead, and accompa nies the*act with an able article in favor of his nomination for the Presidency. Amongst other things equally strong, it says:— His diplomatic correspondence is admitted by both friend and Joe as evincing the most splendid intellectual ability, and added greatly to his former fame as a writer. The London Star, one of the leading papers then published in England, speaking of his letters on ‘the Oregon question in reply to Packenham, the British Minister, says that the minister “ was a pigmy in the hands of a giant, when he grappled with the American Secretary.” 07 s * Col. Bigler, the Governor elect, passed thro’ town, on Wednesday last, on his way to Philadel phia. He looks well and is in excellent spirits.— Whether he came down the river on a raft, or not, we did. not learn—but presume, if he did, that he has kindly tendered the use of it to Gov. Johnston and his Cabinet, who will shortly need a vessel of that description to carry them to the head waters of Salt River. 0j“ > Widmter and Barnes have removed their Cabinet Making and Chair Making establishments to the new buildingat the southeast corner of East King and Duke streets,'where they are prepared to furnish the public with every article in their line in a style equal to any thing in Philadelphia. , We advise our friends to call at their extensive and well filled Furniture Rooms, and “ see 'what is to be seen.” For further particulars, look at their advertisement in another column. \ : Conviction under the New Postage Law —At the late term of the United States Districj Court, held at lowa City, Isaac Sloan was convict, ed of using Post Office Stamps- h second time, and •sentenced'to pay fifty dollars fine, and three cents damages. This is the first instance of tlie kind under the new Law. ' 07" A Democratic County Meeting, convened at the call ol the Standing Committee of Berks county, was held at Reading, on the 17th inst, at which strong resolutions in favor of an increased duty on iron were adopted. Dr. Hiester presided at the meeting, and speeches were made by Hon. William Strong and Maj. H. A.. Muhlenberg, of that city, and also by Francis W. Hughes, Esq., of Pottsville. The meeting is said to have-been a very large one. 27" The heavy rain of Tuesday night last has raised the streams considerably in this region, and the Mills are ’ now able to do the usual amount of grinding at this season of the year. For the last two months there has been a very general com plaint of the scarcity of water, not only through this section, but almost every where—east, west north and south. 07* A correspondent of the Pennsylvanian re commends Col.. Tate of the Columbia Democrat, as the next Democratic candidate for Canal Com- missioner. ID* A dispatch from Washington states that the President and Cabinet have determined to welcome Kossuth with a grand diplomatic dinner, lo which Hulsehan, the Austrian Minister, will be invited. An Illinois Farmer.— The Peoria Democratic Press says a Mr. Hays, of Dewitt county, has 2800 hogs for market this season, of which number 1800 will average 300 lbs.'' At the price which at present promises to be obtained, these hogs cannot bring less than #30,000, . A Base Lie Nailed. The editor of the Lancasterian—of course we do not mean either of the gentlemen \those names are at the head of that paper—in his desperation, and in order to direct public attention from the base treachery of his coadjutors to the Democratic party, at the recent election, continues to assail Mr.Bu csAYAN'with all the stale and exploded falsehoods which were iterated and reiterated by the Federal press years ago, until they, had become ashamed of such conduct themselves.' At this stage of the game, when even the respectable portion of the Whig press refussd any longer to defile their col umns with such abominable and wicked slanders against so good and so pure a statesman, the paper above mentioned was brought into existence, and from that day to the present has labored unceas ingly to defame his character in every possible way, and to bespatter his reputation with all the filth that can be scraped together in its laboratory of billingsgate. We ! shall not attempt to follow that sheet in detail in its slimy and sinuous course, nolr shall we insult the intelligence of our readers by replying to its numerous slanders (in the shape of queries) against Mr.. Buchanan. That would be entirely a work of supererogation, inasmuch as those falsehoods, with but few exceptions, have all ' been satisfactorily and refuted years ago, and that, too, by men whose veracity the Lancasterian dare not call in question.' We, there fore, refer the editor of that paper to our mutual friends Col. Fbazbb and Judge Champnzts, both of whom have long since pronounced most of these charges base and unfounded calumnies; and if their testimony is still not considered sufficient, we refer him to the Address of the Democratic State Con vention of 1843, the same we. published last week, as a most complete and overwhelming vindication of Mr. B. from the foul and infamous libels upon his fair fame and character —and that vindication emanated from the assembled representatives of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. One of the basest and most diabolical falsehoods of the whole batch, and the first one on the Lan casterian list, is that with reference to the cratic drop of blood.” This was first started by the Federal press, in 1828,.thirteen years subsequent to the time the speech, purporting to contain the sentiment, Had been made, and at a time when Mr Buchanan was the Democratic candidate for Con gress in this district. The lie was invented at the time for the purpose of defeating his election. It was at once promptly denied by gentlemen of both parties who had heard the speech referred to, as also by the Democratic press of this city, and Mr. B. was triumphantly elected to Congres?. Nothing more was heard of the abominable slander until 1837, when Joshua F. Cox, at the time, like the editor of the Lancasterian, an out and out Antima son, repeated the story upon the floor of the Re form Convention, ;at Harrisburg. It was then and there again promptly met and publicly denied by Emanuel C. REiGAHT,-Esq’, of this city, and Hon. James M. Porter, of Easton, both of whom promptly volunteered to repel the charge. Af ter that the slander was permitted to rest until 1840, when Mr. James Cooper, the then Federal .Representative from the Adams district, saw proper to reiterate it upon the fbor of Congress. It was there contradicted by Messrs. Ramsst and Seim, of the Pennsylvania delegation ; and also about the same period the subjoined certificate, voluntarily written and signed-at the time Mr. Cox made the attack, was published in the Harrisburg Reporter ol April 10, 1840, and may also be found in the Lancaster Intelligencer of the following week—and was then for the first time made public in ’ conse quence of Cooper’s attack. * The vile slander having thus been so successfully put down, we heard nothing more of it until within the last year, when it was revived in the Lancaste rian, and is again dished up in that paper of last week, for the twentieth time, as the file leader of a series of slanders as base and unfounded as itself.— We, therefore, re-publish the certificate, and ask the attention of every Democrat in Lancaster county and in the State to the document itself, as also to the signatures appended. fl We make no editorial comments at this time, but introduce our readers without further ceremony to the certificate. It will speak for itself: [CERTIFICATE.] Several -of the undersigned have known Mr. Bu chanan ever since he first came to Lancaster, to study law with the late James Hopkinsjand the. others for many years past. We are all convinced that if, at a public meeting at the Court House, or any where else in this city, he had ever used such an* expression, or any thing like it, as that which has been attributed to him by Mr. Cox, in the Con vention, to wit: “ that he had thanked his God he had not a drop of democratic blood in his veins, and if he had' he would let it out,” some of us would have heard it, and all of us would have heard of it, and it must have become a subject of general con versation throughout-Lancaster. To the best of our knowledge it never was mentioned by any per son until the year 1828, immediately before Mr. Buchanan’s last election to Congress on the demo cratic Jackson ticket. As this election immediately, preceded General Jackson’s first election to'the Presidency, [in November, 1828,] and as Mr. Bu chanan had been for several years previously his ardent and active supporter, he was then opposed with much zeal and bitterness. Ever since we first heard this story, referring back as it did to 1815, we have always believed, and still believe, that it was got up without any foundation in lact, for the purpose of operating against Mr. Buchanan’s election to Congress in 1825. Indeed, we Had never supposed that any person acquainted with his character could believe, that at any period of his life, he would have made such a declaration as now seems to be seriously imputed to him.

"** 07” Above we have answered the file leader o$ the batch of falsehoods against Mr. Buchanan contained in the last Lancasterian. The object of. the Antimasonic editor of that sheet is welt under stood—being first to injure Mr. 8., and secondly .to direct public attention from his own misdeeds and those of his Confederates. But he will miss'the mark. The cry of “stop thief” will not answer the purpose intended. The Democracy of Lancaster county have a right to know who it was that printed and circulated thousands of tickets, purporting to be Democratic, with the name of Seth Clover off and John Strohn on, for Canal Commissioner.— They have a right to know who did the deed and why it was, that twenty-one ballots were cast in one of the wards of this city, with the names of Wm. Bigler and Seth Clover stricken out; and they haye also a right to enquire who it was that struck Judge Campbell upwards ol five hundred votes in the county. * « These are all plain questions, and should be an swered in the negative by the Lancasterian, if the cabal who control it are innocent of the charge.— Innocent! aye, there’s the rub. We have not yet said they, were "guilty; but the treacherous acts were committed by* profusing Democrats, and the Democracy of the county wish to ascertain by whom they were done, so that may know where to place the guilty individuals in the future. When the Lancasterian gives a direct reply to the above plain questions, we shall have a few more bt the same kind to propose; but abuse of Mr. BucH' anan will not be such answers as will remove the load of suspicion which now rests upon the should ers of his defamers. people will mark the bolters!

The accounts from the Salt Lake gtve*iofonna£ tion of a most extraordinary revolution in tbe.Mbfe mon settlement Those violent fanatics, foolishly vain of their strength, and believing themselves secure Yrom tfie interposition of the Government by the remoteness of their position,. have driven the. United States officers, who are not Mormoiis from the Territory. The Governor, Brigham’Young, renounces all allegiance to the Government of the United States. The necessity of a strong military force at the Salt Lake is obviouß, it should be a perinanent post, and should be garrisoned • -by i troops; enqagh :to chastise the insolence of the Mormons, ancftirkeep them in subjection to the law. Extrad of a Letter from a Judicial Officer of the Government at Great Salt Lake City, Territory of Utah, dated September 20, 1851. - I shall leave for the States on the lst October; and most gladly will 1 go, for I am sick and tired of this place—of the fanaticism of the people, fol lowed by their violence of feeling towards the' Gentiles, as they style all persons not belonging to their church. I have had a feeling and personal proof of their.fanatical intolerance within the last few days. I will give you a .cursory view ol the circumstances and the scene. - As soon after my arrival here as my illness would permit I Heard from Judge B. and Mr. Sec retary H. accounts of the intolerant sentiments of the community towards the Government officers and the Government itself, which filled me with surprise. I learned that not only were the officers sent here treated with coldness and disrespect, but that the Government, of the United States, on all public occasious, whether festive or religious, was denounced in the most disrespectful terms, and often with invectives ol great bitterness. I will mention a few instances. Thfe 24th July is the anniversary of the arrival of the Mormons in this valley. It was on that day of this year that they assembled to commemorate that interesting event. The orator of the day on that occasion spoke bitterly of the course of the United States toward the church of “Latter-Day Saints,” in taking a battalion of their men from them tor the war with Mexico, while on the banks of the Missouri river, in their flightfrom the mob at Nauvoo. He said the Government of the United States had devised the most wanton, cruel and dastardly means for' the accomplishment of their ruin, overthrow, and utter extermination. His Excellency Governor Young on the same occasion denounced in the most sacrilegious terms the memory of the illustrious and lamented General and President of the United States who has lately gone to the grave, agd over whose tomb a nation’s tears have scarcely ceased to flow. He exclaimed, “Zachary Taylor is dead and gone to hell, and I am glad of it!” and his sentiments .were echoed by a loud amen from all parts of the assembly. Then rising, in the excess of his passion, to his tip toes, he vociferated, “I prophecy! in the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of the* priesthood that is upon me, that any other President of the United States who shall lift his finger against this people will die an udtimely death and go to hell!” This kind of feeling I found pervading the whole community, in some individuals more marked than in others. You may remember that I was authorized by the managers of the Washington National Monument Society to say to the people of the Territory of Utah that they would be pleased to receive from them a block of marble or other stone, to be depos ited in the monument “as an offering at the shrine of patriotism .” I accordingly called upon Governor Young, and apprized him of thq trust committed to my hands, and expressed a desire to address the people upon the subject, when assembled iu their greatest number. He replied that on the following Monday the very best opportunity would be pre sented. Monday came, and 1 found myself at their Bowery, in the midst of at least three thousand people. I was respectfully and honorably intro duced by his“/usEzcrifency”tothevast assemblage; I made a speech, though -so feeble that I could scarcely stand, and staggered in my debility several times on the platform. I spSke for two hours, during which time I was favored with the unwavering attention of my audi ence. Having made some remarks in reference to the judiciary, I presented the subject of the National Monument, and, incidentally thereto, (as the Mor mons supposed,) I expressed my opinions in full, free, unreserved, yet respectful and dignified manner, in regard to the defection of the people here from the Government of the United States. I endeavored to show the injustice of their feelings towards the Government, and alluded boldly and feelingly to the sacrilegiou||remarks of Gov. Young toward the memory of the lamented Taylor. 1 defended, as well as my feeble powers would allow, the name and character of the departed hero from the unjust aspersions cast upon them, and remarked that, in the latter part-of the assailant’s bitter exclamation th.at 11 he was glad Gen. Taybr teas in hell , he did not exhibit a Christian spirit, and that, if the author did not earlier repent of .the cruel declaration, he would perform that task with keen remorse upon his dying pillow. I then alluded to my nativity—to my citizenship-vto my love of country—to my duty to defend my country'from unjust aspersions, wherever I met them—arid trusted that, when I failed to defend her, my tongue, then employed in her advocacy and praise, might cling to .the roof of my mouth, and that my arm, ever ready to be raised in her defence, might fall palsied at my side. I then told the audience if they could not offer a block of marble in a feeling of full fellowship with the people of the United States, as brethren and fellow citizens, they had better not offer it at all, but leave it unquarried in the bosom of its native mountains. * At the close ot my speech the Governor rose, anit denounced me and the Government in the most brutal and unmeasured terms. The ferment created by i his remarks was truly fearful. It seemed as if the people (1 mean a large portion of them) were ready -to spring upon me like hyenas and destroy me. The Governor, while speaking, said that some persons might get their hair pulled or their throats cut on that occasion.— His manner was boisterous, passionate, infuriated in the extreme;.and, ii he had not been afraid of final vengeance, he would; have pointed his finger at-me, and I should in an instant have been a dead. man. I expect all the officers of the Territory, at least Chief Justice’ 8., Secretary Harris, and Captain Day, Indian Agent, will return with me, to return n6 more. -Tragical Affair. —The Opelousas (Louisiana) Gazette, of the 29th ult., gives the following particulars of a murderous affair: On last Friday night, between the hours of 10 and 12 o’clock, one Dr. J. W. Hopkins, of Plaque mine Brulee, entered the house of John D. Moore, who resides on Plaquemine Brulee, about eighteen miles from this place, in our parish, accompanied by a negro armed with a double barrelled shot gun. Hopkins attacked Moore with his pistols and.bo wie knife. Moore, being unarmed, seized him and threw him down, and was about 1 to wrest from him his bowie knife, intending to use it in defence of his life, when Hopkins called to the negro asking him why he did not shoot him. Upon which the negro replied, that he could not shoot without killing both. Hopkins then said, ; shoot anyhow. Moore then sprang to the negro, seized the gun and wss about succeeding in taking it from the slave, when Hopkins, who had raised himself from fhe floor, advanced upon him with pistols and bowie knife.— He then endeavored to make his escape through his back door. Hopkias pursued him, and fired without effect. Hopkins then returned into the house, demanded of Moore's wife the keys p andjbid her give him John Lyons’ money, (the father-in-law i of both Moore and Hopkins.) She replied that they had none of John Lyons’ money. He took the keys, searched the house and found sixteen dollars in the press. He then turned to her and said he would have no witness against him; that he intended to kill her. She begged for her life. He took her by the arm and endeavored to. turn hetf around, in or der to shoot her in the back. He then fired, she threw up her arms for projection ; the ball struck her hand, nearly cutting off two of her fingers, striking her abdomen, and'luckily the ball glanced, and did not penetrate the intestines or bowels. The monster then mounted hisjhorse and fled. There are pow six men in pursuit of hjm. We learn they are on his track, and will!doubtless arrest him.— He is a man of slender form? about five feet nine or ten inches in height, and light blue eyes, It is rn triored that Hopkins fled from Virginia for killing .a man. ! American Wine. —ln the vicinity of St Louis native wine is made in considerable quantities, and of qualities highly commended'; but Cincinnati continues to take'the lead in this branch of domes, tic produce. A recent letter from that place says: I have just returned from a visit to*; one of N. Longwonh’s’wine cellars; where I saw 75,000 bot . ties-of sparkling Catawbaj and about4o,ooo gallons of wine in casks, varying from 40 to 5000 gallons in egch. This cellar is 120 feet long, 40 feet wide, and 40 feet deep; and it is the intention of the owner to increase it to. double this size during the coming spring. Besides Mr. Kongworth, there are many other persons in Cincinnati, and the neighbor hood, .-engaged in the cultivation of the grape, and it is supposed that not less than l looo. acres are devoted; to this purpose. - iThe Catawba grape is, I ibelieve, much preferred to any other variety for ‘’wine, and invariably ripens better than the Isabella in this climate. 1 pbell ,was& the .Locofodu State Joy '«ti^ : ticket, h J by the Loco§> fqco .State J.odge Campbelljs|B bertof lhb;' CatbotieCharcL *sfon.Jsgler, .Settfi .Qoyer, Black, Lewis, Gibeoaand hy> majority bringing' from ,8,00(1 to i9,ooo, iaiwj, • JsmerCampbell by from 3,000 tp:4,ooCß' Remember, these facts wtieo a Locofoco chooses, tir hoart oftheir party’s toleratiom-PiZinTtt&ttrg Jhhay xcdiif' ? - S : y. ':-y_ The £fabye article shows that the American still retains its character for infamy.. Not only durinjg jhe hte campaign, -but in former the American aswellasother Whig ; journals, have shown the utfliastintolerance.: It was bura’ few:, years since that members of the Masonic fraternity and ministers of the gospel, too, were arraigned before a Whig and Anti masonic committee of the. House of Representatives, treated as criminals, and threatened to be imprisoned for not revealing the ;secretß of their order. \ More recentlya close union was formed between the Native Americans and Whigs, and Catholics were hunted and persecuted in every possible way, and an effort: was made to prejudice the whole Protestant community against ■them; and even at the last election Governor John, ston and his organ', the American, made every effort to unite the whole Native vote upon : the Whig candidate, and take from Judge Campbell all the votes possible. These worthies even united with the disorganizing scoundrels, who pretended to tie Democrats, in circulating forged Democratic, tickets with Judge Coulter’s name substituted for Judge Campbell’s, and in this way he was defeated. - It is scarcely necessary to attempt to refute the slanders ofthese Whig leaders, : as it is known, to every intelligent citizen that the Democratic party is and always has been the party of toleration. The alien *nd sedition laws were the work of the Federal leadersj and their repeal was the test question in the election of Thomas Jefferson; and from that day to this the Whig party has been constantly endeavoring to, place restrictions upon foreigners and their emigration to this’ country, and even at this moment a : villain, who is an, attache to the American Legation in the Mediterranean, is busily engaged in writing home letters to Whig journals to prejudice the public mind against thit illustrious patriot, LOUIS KOSSUTH, who, by' his burning eloquence, fervid manner, and great coWage and perseverance, seems to have been endowed from above to work: up THE PEOPLE of the world to aproper sense of their position and; power. The Whigs are, therefore, the last persona on earth who should say aught upon the subject o*. party tolerance.— Democratic Union. “ Birds of a; Featheb,” Bcc. —The Whig. Exam, iner Sc Herald comes to the aid of: its ally the Lancasterian, in its assaults upon Mr. Buchanan. Of course, nothing else could be reasonably expected from either—both alike dreading his: nomination" and election to the Presidency. The only difference between the two journals is—the one openly oppo. ses the Democratic party, while the other does the same thing in a covert and treacherous manner. Terrible Calamity in New York, Fifty Children killed at a public school house—Sev enty or eighty more probably maimed for. life — Frightful scenes. ’ New York, Nov. 20, P. M.—A most terrible accident occurred about 2 o’clock this afternoon. — An alarm of fire was raised among the children in the new Public School House, in Greenwich Aven ue, which alurmed the inmates to such ah extent that a general rush was made from the building.— While a large number were pressing- against the banisters of the second and third floors, the same gave way, precipitating the children to the fcrst floor below, a distance of some forty feet. Already twenty dead bodies have been removed from the place, and it is reported that at least forty J>oys have been killed. The scene is truly heart-rending. Mothers ap pear frantic, in search of their children, and the cries of the mangled and dying, have attracted thousands'to-the 6cene of the sad occurrence. '[second despatch] The melancholy occurrence of this afternoon, has cast a solemn gloofn over orir city. Many homes that but a few hours since were all sunshine, now present a heart-rending spectacle. The details of this painful calamity, as far as we have been able to gather them, are as follows; About 2 o’clock, Miss Harrison, a teacher in the Primary School, No. 26, was observed, probably from the closeness of the room, to faint, which startled a number of children by her side, while others raised the cry of fire. This caused the great est alarm, when a, general rush was made for the windows and stairs. The latter being spiral, and running from ;the first to the fourth story of the building, the pressure against the balustrade jyas so-great that lit gave way,' precipitating to the flagged floor of the play-ground,' nearly one hun dred little ones, and presenting a most awful spec tacle. The scene wrs terrific and heart-rending. Child after child rushed down the horrible pit, crushing beneath their weight those who had preceded them —while others leaped voluntarily down the chasm, mingling their life-blood with others. . More then seventy children thus .rushed into the jaws of death, iand although few escaped except, the maiming for life, some fifty were instantly killed. - [third despatch.] The calamity would have been still greater, but for the presence of mind of Mr. Nalty, principal of the school, who was in the fourth story, and who, on hearing the cry of fire, immediately placed himself again t the door, declaring that , none of the children should leave. In this manner his class escaped inevitable datruction. < A large number Were' immediately carried to their homes by bewildered parents, so that the ex act extent of the calamity has not yet been fully ascertained. ‘ The excitement , at the School House, and at the Ninth Ward Station House, is such a 3 was seldom ever witnessed'in this city. The scene of parents clasping.their dead and dying children,-beggars description, and was horri ble to look upon. The police, with the Recorder, Mayor,.and many medical gentlemen, were prompt ly on the spot, rendering the unfortunate sufferers all the aid humanity could dictate. P. S.—Since the above was received, it .has been ascertained thaf besides those killed, seventy or eighty are maimed, some of them for Jife. * Many of the little ones were so dreadfully disfigured and mangled, as to be scarcely recognised by their parents. Mr. Buchanan in Missouri and, lowa.— We cut the following from the St. Louis Union : We had a visit yesterday from Dr. Leib, of Lucas county, lowa, who is on his way east, and is>*fhe bearer of a splendid hickory cane to the Hon. Jas. Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, from®lhe sterling De mocracy of that new and growing country. We learn from him that a large portion of the Demo crats of the Western portion of lowa are the warm and devoted friends of that distinguished statesman, and advocate his nomination by the Democratic National Convention, not only on account of his commanding talents and devotion to the great in terests of Democracy, but because of his .. availa bility and devotion to the Constitution and the Union. This tribute of respect will be .more highly appreciated by Mr. Buchanan than a more costly gilt The sticki a rough and plain hickory club, is emblematic of the Democracy of lowa, from whom it comes, and is moreover a fitting tribute to theman who resembles Gen. Jackson so. closely in character, and who, if- elected to the Presidency, will, we feel assured, carry out the true doctrines of the Constitution with as much firmness and en ergy as when Jackson himself - was at the helm to guide the ship: of State through all her storms and troubles. * 07* The Harrisburg Telegraph states that the receipts at the late State Fair were abou£.#4,so0 — which, in addition to the annual appropriation from the State of #2OOO, and the subscriptions= by! the citizens of Harrisburg, will put the Society in pos session.of soiree #B,lOO.

Joan Stbobs in the Chair. Alter the object of the meeting tad been stated, several Resolutions!were adopted! and a Committee was appointed for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions in order to secure the; holding of the next State Agricultural Fair at or near the city of Lancaster. We hope jour citizens wjll contribute liberally to the object. |lt is one which should enlist the active energies of every body, and we trust that a sufficient amount may be subscribed without-delay. . Phaisbwortht Activitt.—On the night after the destructionof the Methodist Episcopal Church, a meeting of the male members was held in the New School House, at* which over two thousand dollars were subscribed towards re-building a new church. When it is considered that the meeting was called at a few hours notice, and that for years past the members have contributed largely towards liquidating ; their debt, we think the amount an unusually large subscription. f' In our account last week, we forgot to state that the fire is supposed to havie originated from one of the heaters. —Columbia Spy. \Lr Thursday next is to bo Thanksgiving Day. and Chickens, Geese and Ducks will be the sufferers.

Lawrence Getz, Esq., Editor of * the .Reading Gazette, pays the following very handsome tribute to our townsman, “mine host” of tbe Swan : ; “ The JJwan iniLancaster city, is one of the best public bouses inj the State.. Everything about it is neat, orderly, and exceedingly comfort able ; while the polite ar.djunremmitting attentions of the gentlemanly host himself—Major Hublet, leave his guests nothing to wish for. This is no puff, but the gratuitous tribute of one who knows the house; and has repeatedly enjoyed its many creature domforts.” 1 Plank [Roads. —On a recent visit to Lancaster county we were surprised .-to learn that the citizens of that enjterpriziog little; borough of Manheira, propose running, without ;delay, a plank-road from that place! to Lebanon. A meeting was called, to take place on Saturday evjening last, to take meas ures for the speedy buildiijg of the same, and all this without asking the pip or con of our citizens. The plank road from jManheim to Lancaster city is already in a state of speedy completion.— The whole length is graded and leveled, and about 300 yards of plank laid'at the Lancaster, termina tion. Plank roads are a hew experiment in this section of country, and we hope they may answer their intended purpose. In Ohio, and some other States, they are quite common and generally ap proved of. —lebanoji Advertiser. Mr. Buchanan! in Tennessee. We continue to [receive the most cheering in telligence! from all parts of the country respecting the prospects of Mr. Buchanan to a nomination for the Presidency. We have just learned from a source entitledjto the highest confidence,, that 41 out of the 45 Democratic members of the Legis lature of Tennessee, now in session, are the warm friends of! Mr. Buchanan, and further, that the State will go for him beyond a doubt. There is not a State in tfie Union . whose Democracy are more patriotic and true than those of Tennessee, and it is not therefore strange that they should prefer Pennsylvania’s illustrious statesman before all others as a candidate for the Presidency.— Bern. Union'. 1 - Interesting Ceremonies. Baltimore, Sunday,. Nov. 16.—The Catholic Cathedral-, to day, was thronged with an immense assemblage of people, to witness the interesting and solemn ceremony of investing the new Archbishop Kenrice with the Pallium.. The Pontifical Mass was celebrated on the occasion. Rev. Mr. Sourin of Philadelphia, preached the sermon.! The Bishop of Buffalo was present The service. was sublime, and the ceremonies throughout very imposing.— The Archbishop is now invested with full power. The Palljumiis a little garment of white and black lamb’s wool, raised and consecrated in Rome, and is always buried with the deceased ownerwithout which the Archbishop coiild not fill bis office. ID* Tie Boston.papersjspeak in commendation of a newly invented machine for making bricks from dry|clay, patented by Woodworth & Mower,' of that city. The Post says— s . ... The machine works w|ith great steadiness and precision] and turns out three thousand bricks per hour. The machine and clay pulverizers are oper ated by a twenty-horse steam engine. The clay is dried and| ground by passing between heavy rollers, then,.being screened or sifted, passes into the ma chine in a uniform, fine state, subjected to the im mense power of the machine, and a beautiful, per fect face brick is produced, almost as smooth and dense as polished marble] The bricks are taken immediately from the machine and set in the kilns ready for| burning, thereby obviating the necessity of spreading on the yard to dry, before burning, as well as injury or loss from wet weather. By this process, superior face brick can be: produced at less expense than the coarsest common brick by the old methods. j • nyAtJohnstown,Pa.JonFridayweel£ l .theßev.‘ Mr. Mullor, a Catholic clergyman, was robbed of $4,800 in gold, which bad been deposited with him. for safe keeping by the laborers on the. railroad.— The thjef made his way to Pittsburg where he was arrested end alt the money recovered, with thd ex ception o f about $9O. | By tbe Af -New York on Wednesday jiaatT .'i , r -■■■ - i- -■ iKBLAND. ’ \ The ‘American arrived on tb* 17tK \ ", ■ Ike Aria arrivedoqt'od Saiurdav evening. certaifily leave in the Waahing toij'on thal4th. H»h«d an interview with Mazzini oo the 4th 1 . Koasoth atill continued to receive the warmest attention. ' A committee had been appointed to raise a Kos suth fund. : _ fi correspondence had taken place between the Brijish and Austrian Government, relative to the reception of Kossuth in England. Lord Palmer, stoir replied that his Government had nothing to do with it. . > “ The actual receipts of the Great Exhibition are set five huodreq thousand pounds. The Royal Commissioners have announced that they will not take the responsibility of retaining the Crystal Palace. It will betaken down if the Queen does not interpose. ‘ Kossuth on the 3rd addressed a large meeting of the working classes at Copenhagen Fields. In bis speech he eulogises both England and America, and denounces Austria and Russia. His last ad dress to the English will be deUsaared on Thursday FRANCES * The Legislative Assembly the 4thjs> M. Dupeir was re-elected President of the As sembly. v : . Louis Napoleon had met with a violent attack from the Legitimist-and Orleaniat organs. , The Debats says that its effect on the Assembly was deplorable, and . that the sentiments it gave rise to on the benches of the .majority were re peated by movements of incredulity and irony. The majority would not be convinced that there exists an intention of co-operatiug with it the very very moment it is asked-to disavow the most im portant and decisive act of its parliamentary life. The President is next accused of personal ambi tion and clumsy calculations. . The Electoral Law proposed by the President, is almost a complete return to the old Electoral Law as drawn up by the Constituent Assembly, and re quires of the voter, but a six month's residence. The journals of the majority unite in condensing it. On the other hand the republican journals are pleased at the prospect of universal suffrage which the Siecle declares will render a civil war, other wise uncertain and impossible. The President presents the financial condition of the country as most unfavorable, but asserts that a vast, demagogical conspiracy exists, not only in France but throughout Europe,* having for its object the total overthrow, of society, as it is at present constituted.. Louis Napoleon describes himself as free from personal* interest—a firm friend of'order, and an honorable observer of his oath. In his message he says:—*‘l wil shortly present a project of law which preserves the law of the 31st of May, and all those elements which redeem universal suffrage from its impurities. Even when adopting that law, I had always considered it. would be my duty to propose its. abrogation. The Minister pf the Inter rior therefore has presented a project of a law, re questing its almost entire abrogation. The regu lations as to the residence and qualification are reduced to six months.” Louis Napoleon in his message, gives an account of each Ministerial Department, and makes favor able concessions to Railway Companies. The Piesident expresses himself in severe lan guage against the anarchists, who have fixed 1852 as a pretext for a revolution. The republican representatives had held a meet ing, when it was decided that every measure hav ing for its object the repeal of the law of the 31st of May* should 156 supported. The President states that the agricultural ami commercial interests of France are in a flourishing condition. The message is very voluminous, and is moderate and conciliatory'in tone. The latest accounts from Paris state that the address has been unfavorably received by the As sembly, and.that another change in the ministry is confidently expected. The announcement that the President intended to appeal to the country in November next for re election, is formally disavowed by the Patrie, ap parently from authority. M. Cretin has refused to postpone the motion for a repeal of the law, by which the members of the Bourbon family are prevented from returning to France. M. Corbin has declined the appointment of Min ister of Justice, and M. David has been appointed in his place. v Railroad Connection with a. New Coal Field. —The Harrisburg Keystone contains the following interesting announcement: We notice, as a subject of much importance to the citizens of Harrisburg and all the populous valley ot the Susquehanna below, the fact that a railroad is just finished from Dauphin to connect with the Pennsylvania road at the bridge fwe miles above town. This opens by an uninterrupted rail road, tbe rich mines of the southern coal field to this point, whence distribution by the same means can be made over the several roads running from this place in almost all directions. The price of coal must be materially diminished by this connec tion through an extensive, wealthy and populous district. To the citizens of Harrisburg this must be in an especial manner gratifying. All who have tried the coal Irom' the Dauphin region are satisfied for domestic uses. It is now sold in Dauphin for $1 75 per ton. The company .will probably extend their accommodations so that it may be purchased by the car load, and]thus this desirable fuel wjll be delivered in totfh at not exceeding $2 00 per ton. We learn that the switches connecting the two roads are not yet laid, as the companies have not definitely begociated on the subject of tolls. This, it is supposed, will be closed this week, and then we shall have no occasion hereafter to fear a short supply of fuel before the close of navigation. We trust the Pennsylvania company will be as moder ate in their charges as consistent with their inter ests. Low prices and a large business is the rule in such cases; and besides, some millions of people are interested in its observance in this instance. The Treason Trials.
