ident Judge of XVDIth Judicial oyer hie'
competitor, Judge Buffington, by nearly .20.00 ma-.
jority, and in May, 1853, appointed, tothe Supreme
Bench by Gov. Bigler.
The rising and conspictious career of Judge Knox
is the evidence and the result of. Merit He-is a
learned lawyer, an able jurist, an.honest man. In i
the Northern and Western counties, where his ju.-
dials! character is best known; our correspondence
attests that his present nomination will' be 'appro
ved by an unexampled vote.. Although his profes
sional and legislative career proved him to I
,se a de
voted and valuable member, it is , ag a judge-that
he has been most distinguished. He is just and fears
not. In his hands, the scales of justice are held
firmly and even. The confidence of the people,
whose interest have been con fi ded. to his judicial
care,-is unbounded; and the respect felt for the pro
found and just jurist is only "equalled by esteem for
his private virtues, unspotted integrity and amiable
manners.
The Hon. Ephraim Banks, the Democratic can

MONK'S NSW Mir of Noara Amsatcs.—This
new work just published at Baltimore, a copy of
which_ we have seen, exhibits more geographical
• and other interesting information, than is to be
found on any Map with which we are acquainted,
It is engraved and printed in beautiful style by,,A..
Hoen & Co., Second St., Baltimore, and is a'correct
and beautiful exhibit of the United States and Ter
ritories, the Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia
and , Mexico, also Central America and the West
India Islands, compiled from"the most recent sur
veys, and authentic sources. The Map is on a large
scale, embracing from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean, and extending from the 50thiiirallel of north
latitude to South America, and within seven de
grees of the equator. One peculiar feature and ex
cellence of the publication, is the minuteness with
which the various railroad lines, completed and pro
jected, are laid down. There is also in the south
west corner, a new Map of the World on,Mercator's
projection, exhibiting the shortest route from East
to West by the Isthmus; oracross the U. States.

We perceive from our Western exchanges
that our friend, Taos. B. Canyzar, Die Sinker and
Engraver, has achieved a great triumph at our State
Fair, just concluded at Pittsburgh: With over five
hundred cbntestants in the field, he succeeded in
winning, not only the Prize Gold Medal, which of
itself is a triumph; but had also awarded 'to him a
Diploma, thus distinguishing him as master of his
business, and crowning him as a skilful and scientific
workman. We would call die attention of our-mer

The families on both sides, participated „in the
revolutionary struggle, and did service for the coun
try. Ephriam was born and raised upon the land.
purchased by his grandfather Banks, in 1772. The
family business was farming, and he was instruct
ed in that business, and followed it until he •was
about sixteen years of age. Having obtained the
best education the country' and village schools in
the neighood afforded, and acquired some knowl
edge of mathematics and surveying; he practiCed
surveying occasionally with the then Deputy of the
county, and was afterwards engaged in storekeep
ing, and other pursuits; until he was , appointed Pro
thonotary and Clerk of the several Courts in Mifflin
county, by Gov. Findlay, in 1818. Before, and
allout the time of his appointment, he held several
military offices, and among them the office of Col
onel. Finding, by the opportunity the office of Pro.
tlaonotary afforded him . , that the legal profession
Was better suited to his taste than any other busi
ness he could qualify hiinself for, he read law, as
a student, under the direction of the late Alexan
der H. Anderson, Esq., one of the most accomplish
ed members of the bar in the county, and was ad
mitted to practice during the administration of Gov.
Heieter.
In 1828, he was elected a member of the House
of Representatives, and was twice re-elected. For
the first year of his service he was on the Commit
tees on Estates and Escheats, and on the Judiciary,
and for the second and third years, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee. For the period of his ser
vice in the House, no one enjoyed more of the kind
ness and respect of his fellow members. While
acting independently himself, according to his own
judgment, he always treated respectfully the opin
ions and actions of others.
During his term. of service in the House, he was
associated with Judge Morgan, Cadwalader Evans
and John Blair who had been members before, and
as far back as in 1793, apd others of equal capac
ity and much experience, and enjoyed their favor
personally and politically.
. He was afterwards elected a member of the Con
vention to amend the Constitution of the State,and
was a, zealous and efficient 'ieformer of that talent
ed and respected body. Perhaps no member stood
fairer with his fellow-members than' did Ephriam
Banks. If he was not so brilliant as some, he was
always judicious. If he did not startle his' friends
by scintillations of wit and exhibitions of learned
knowledge, he never failed to sustain himself as a
man of mind and manners.
From the time he served in the Reform Conven
tion until his present term of service as Auditor
General commenced, he devoted himself to the bus
iness of his profession as a lawyer, and the affairs
of the community in which he resides as a useful
citizen; and during the period•of his service as Au
ditor General, he has proved himself to be efficient
and faithful to the interests of the Commonwealth,
as well as courteous and plelsant in reference to bus
iness transactions.
Mr. Banks is a man of family. His eldest son is
a succeasful lawyer in Hollidaysburg. His second
son died in San Francisco, in October, 1848, where
he had located as a lawyer, with very flattering
prospects. His third son was in all the battles near
the city of Mexico, under Scott and Worth, and is
now a practising physician. He has other and
younger children.
The leading traits of his character - are caution
and firmness of purpose. His mind is clear and
logical; and he is always ready to prefer that which
is practical and useful to that which is speculative
ann uncertain.
Hon. J Porter Brawley, the candidate for Survey
or General, was born in Randolph township, Craw
ford county, Pennsylvania, on the sth of Novem•
ber, 1818.

19,627)
He entered Allegheny College in the . spring. of
1837, where he, graduated with the highest honors
of that Institution in 1840. On leaving college, he
was elected to the House of Representatives of Penn
sylvania, in 1841, and re•elected in 1842. Mr.
Brawley was a very , active and efficient member
of the House while he occupied a seatin that body,
though he was the youngest member on the floor.
During his first year of service, he was chairman
of the Committee to apportion the State, and for
the second year a member of the Congressional Ap•
portionment Committee, both of which positions
were exceeningly important and laborious. He
was also chairman of the Committee on:Pensions'
and Gratuities during his second term. In 1844
he was nominated for Senator in the Crawford Co.
Convention, but declined the nomination in theDis-'
trict. Convention, after having been adhered to by
his friends through two ,hundred and eighty-seven
ballots, in order to compromise the conflicting
claims of the two counties. In 1847 he was nom
inated for the Senate, and elected by a large vote.
He maintained a very honorable standing in that
dignified body. He was a member of the Commit
tee on the Judiciary, chairman of the Committee
On Corporations, on Estates and Escheats, and on the
Militia. He, was an industrioUlind talented Sena
tor, warmly devoted to the ; interests of his ,cOnsiik
uents.
In the session of 1849,, Mr. - Bromley was nomi
nated by the Democratic members of the Semite for.
Speaker of that body, but was defeated by a single
vote.
In 1850, Mr. Boriiley was .nominated by the,
Democratic State, 'Convention for-the Office of Sur , '
veyor General of the Commonwealthi, and was elec
ted. He was'Aigain nominated,for the same effiCe
by the late fourth of March tanVention, and is .at,
I present theDemdcratic nominee. He has made . an
able, industrious and faithful placer, and has, given
universal satlefactiOn to all who hive had brisineis
with the office. • • ',,
Brawley, nftek he'had iett college,"

admitted to the bar in 1848,.at the age of 84 Ye* * .
He was appointed. Deputy Attorney General, and
was a faithful offcer. When the Administration
changed he'resigned.
Mr. Brawley is afirm - and unflinching Democrat -
During his legislative career, although •a . young
man, he 'did not, we believe, give a single vote that
incurred the disapprobation of the party. 'He is af
&hie and popular in his manners, and is possessed '
of great kindness and generosity of disposition. As
a man and a politician he has always enjoyed the I
friendship and confidence of those with whom he

lirrowriatT To FAumans.—The following circu
lar has been addreised to Postmasters in different
sections of thecountry, for the purpose of facilita
ting the distribution of Agricultural and Mechani
-61 Reports, and choice variety of weds, among
those whO are most likely to be benefitted by ihem.
From all we hear, Mr. Mason is a capable andln
defatigable public officer, and evinces the determi
nation so to regulate the affairs of the Bureau, of
which he is the head, as to make it productive of
the greatest benefit' for our farmers and mechanics.
We true!. that some of our enterprising farmers wil
avail themselves of this opportunity to supply them
- selves with a choice'variety of seeds, and with the
reports which contain the experience of intelligent
cultivators with regard to the various branches of
Agriculture. -We take it-for granted that any ai
plications made to the postmaster in this city,wili
be forwarded to Washington:
lINITFD STATES PATENT OPTICS.
Washington, July 9, 1853.
Sir: This. Bureau will have for distribution, in
the course of the current year, many thousand vol-
James of the Patent Office Reports, both AgriCultu
ral and Mechanical, as well as a large amount and
variety of seeds. In order to ascertain- the manner
in which this distribution can be the most justly
and usefully made, we- wish to obtain the names
and Post Office address of twenty-two of some of
the more enterprising and practical redidents of
y2pr county, to whom these reports and seeds can
breent, discriminating, if advisable, in case
, both cannot be forwarded, between thoie.vvho would
desire the mechanical, and those who might want
the Agricultural Reports; also designating those
who would be likely to give any seeds we might
send a thorough trial, and pointing out those who
would prefer the seeds of flowers, of garden vege
tables, or of cultivated grasses, - field crops, or grain.
The names should be written out in full, in a
clear, legible hand, with the. Post Office to which
packages should be directed; and, as tar as practi
cable, it is desirable that the names of those who
can be most highly reccommended - shonld stand
highest on the list, in order that the loweimost ones
on the respective lists may be omitted, in case the
whole cannot be supplied.
This circular is addressed to you and some others
.iii the county, with the hope that, if your leisure
or opportunities will not permit you to furnish the
information yourself, you wili hand the matter over
to some one else who will be able to do so. If there
is an Agricultural Society or a Mechanics' Insti
tute in your county, perhaps the officers of those
institutions would be willing to give the infornaa-.
Lion desired. If there are no such associations, you
will probably know of some suitable person who
would be disposed to address this office in the man
ner herein propoSed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
CFIAS. MASON, Commissioner of Patents.

" Among a parcel of old government lumber re•

bidder, in Paris, was the identical guillotine of the
horrible Reign of Terror, and the basket belonging
.to it, into which the heads of its victims—lfrorn ten

could have given two thousand dollars for it; for in

Bavr&a OITZDADE—ROBBERT AND ATTEMPTED
Muansa--Early on Tuesday morning last a Ger
man man named John Smith, who had been work
ing atthe furnaces now being erected .by the Messrs.
Grubb, was found lying on a step, in Front street,
opposite Canal Basin, in a most pitiable condition.
He was taken to' the office M.J. W. Fisher, Esq.,
where he made a statement substantially as fol.
lows:—He said that about midnight, as he was on
his way to the public house where he boarded, he
was attacked by three men, who after robbing him
of all, the money he had (about fifteen dollars,)
stabbed him and beat him, and then threw him in •
to the canal—doubtless under tae impression that
he was dead. He managed, however, to get out of
the water—how, is certainly a mystery—and laid
all night at the place where he was found in the
morning. He had no idea of who the persons were
further than they were Germans. He was bruised
very badly—his face was so much swollen-that he
could scarcely see—and he had been stabbed' in
three different places. He was taken. to- the .Hos
pital in the Afternoon by Constable Gilbert. Who
the perpetrators of this gross outrage are seems to
be wrapped in mystery. We hope they may be
found out. . . - • •
P. S.—Since the above was written two broth-
ers, named Shoemaker, have been arrested for the
brutal assult on Smith. They had a hearing before
J. W. Fisher, Esq.,•who committed them ior trial
in default of $lOOO.. bail. The evidence against!
them is very strong. Another participant m the
affair, is still at large.—Columbia Spy.

along whose steep mountain sides this. road hangs,
for a very considerable portion of the distance, can
not be found elsewhere in our land. The road is

steep grades, where the ascent is necessarily slow,
and the descent mast be, at moderate speed, from

We take CfolloWing beautiful passage from
11. Be 's h 1 story .
khe ' and last. term of General Jackson's
Ad
Wpki extxl on. tha.:34 of March, 1837.
In
jfn day,,' 12, he iippeared with his succes-
Moaniliire4on the elevated and spacious
erni rtitif - Ofthe 9 il4 . o 4,0 one of the citizens
who to witness the inauguration of the new
Presides An . d no way aistinguished from them, ex

cept by his place on the left hand of the President
elect. The day was beautiful—clear sky, balmy,
.vernatatatMeanquil•- atmosiatere, and. the assem
blage immense. On loot, in the large area in front
of the steps, orderly without troops, and ,closely
wedged together, their faces turned to the portico
presenting to the beholders from all theeaatern
windowa the appearance of a field, paved with hu
man faces—this vast crowd remained riveted to
their places, and profoundly silent, until the care
.monywatdiranguration was over. It was .the still
ness andailence of reverence and.iarection, and there
was tiiiixibriilor - mistake as' to whom this mute
and impressive
- ,homage was rendered. For once,
the rising was eclipsed by the setting MM. Tho'
.diarobed dl power, and retiring to the shades of pri
vate life, it was evident that, the great ex-President
was, the Absorbiog object of this intense regard. At
the - oiornent:thit,he begatalto descend the broad
steps of the portico to take his seat in the - open car
riage which was to bear him away, the deep, re
pressed-feeling of the dense mass broke forth, Sc.
climations anti cheers bursting from the heart and
filling the air—such as 'power never commanded,
nor man in power ever received. It was the affec
tion, gratitude and admiration of the living, ege, sa
luting-for the leaf time a great man. It was the
acelaimot posterity, breaking from the bosoms of
contemporaries. it was the anticipation of futurity
—unpurchaseable homage to the hero-patriot who,
all his life, and in all the circumstances of his life,
in peace and in war, and glorious in each, had been
the friend of his country, devoted to her, regardless
of self. Uncovered and bowing, with a look of un
affected humility and thankfulness, he acknowl
edged in mute signs his deep sensibility to thicaf
fecting overflow of popular feeling. ll was looking
„down from a side window, and felt an emotion
which had never passed through me before. 1
I had seen the inauguration of many Presidents,
and their going away, and their, days of state, vest
ed with power and surrOunded!by the splendors of
the first magistracy of a great republic. But 'they
all appeared to me as pageants, brief to the view,
unreal to the touch, and soon to vanish. But here
there seemed to be a reality—a real scene—a man
and the people—he, laying down power and with
drawing through the portals of everlasting fame;
they, sounding in his ears the everlasting plaudits
of unborn generations. Two days atter, I saw the
patriot ex-President in the car which bore him off
to his desired seclusion. I saw him depart with
that look of quiet enjoyment which bespoke the in
ward satisfaction of the soul at exchanging the cares
of office for the repose of home. History, poetry,
oralory, marble and brass will hand down the mil-
itary exploits of Jackson; this work will commem
orate the events of his civil administration, not less
glorious than his military achievements, great as
they were; and this brief notice of his last appear,
inice at the American capitol is intended to preserve
some faint memory of a scene, the grandeur of
which was so impressive to the beholder, and the
solace of which must have been so grateful to the
heart of the departing patriot.
Eight years afterwards he died at the Hermitage,
in the full possession of all his faculties, and strong
to the last in the ruling passion of his soul—love of
country. Public history will do justice to his pub
lic life; but a further.notice is wanted of him—a
notice of the domestic man—ol the man at home,
with his wife, his friends, his neighbors, his slaves;
and this I feel some qualification for giving, from
my long and varied acquaintance with him. First,
his intimate and early friend—then a rude rupture
—afterwards friendship and intimacy for twenty
Years, and until his death, in all, forty years of per
sonal observation, i—the double relation of friend
and foe, and in all the walks of life, public and pri
vate, civil and military.
TH E New POSTMASTER GENERAL—We are glad
to see the Whig papers abusing so violently our
new Postmaster General. Their abuse will be—
es Tyler said of the bonfires which burnt him in'
effigy for destroying the main stay of the whig
party, the United States Bank—but a lamp to guide
him in the path of duty. He is a thorough Demo
crat, and an active and skillful public officer. He
knows his obligations to the country and to the
democratic party, and dare discharge them. Since
the organization of our government, no man who
has been in office so short a time has learned all
the various duties of his complicated office so well.
Under him,
Assistant Postmasters General, clerks,
and special agents, can never be partners with mail
contractors as they have been' heretofore. Ardent
spirits cannot bßcharged to the department as oil.
Distributing post office clerks will have fixed sala
ries with him, instead of being allowed to vouch
for themselves for themselves for all the proceeds
of distribution, and then give the postmaster half.
Under r him, postmasters have got to report the
failure of contractor; and attend to the duties of
their offices in person. He is looking out for the
abuies that crept into the department under the
whigs in all directions. He is just the man for the
place—an honest, through-going, hard-workihg
public officer; and if he keeps on as he has begun,
he will.,fank among the most popular men in the
country. We know of no man who could fill his
place better, and would look upon his retirement
as a public calamity.—Chicago Democrat.
Tun lizi.sAss or Kozsra.—The Albany Knick
erbocker says it was rumored in that city that " an
agreement had been made between Mr.. Marcy
and Mr. Hulseman, that Kozsta shall accede to cer
tain terms, which the Austrian Government sees
fit• to dictate, and which are grounded on their
fears of an European revolution, or else that Kosz
ta shall return - to shelter afforded him by our insti
tutions on American soil." Our readers wilbre
member that Mr. Marcy was called to Albany to
attend the funeral of his son, and as nothing but an
urgent necessity could have induced Mr. Hulseman
to follow him'there, while engaged in such sad du
ties, it would seem probable that there is founda
tion for . thls rumor. At all vents, if not settled,
there'can be little doubt that propositions have been
made to' the Secretary of State by the Austrian
Minister, who, must be ,convinced by this time of
the untenable' grounds' he assumed on behalf of his
government.
Wssmosorrorr, October 4.—The Secretary of the
Treasury has issued orders requiring the clerks
throughtnit - the department to be at their desks
from nine to -three' o'clock until the let of April
next, and prohibiting going out to take drinks on
pahalty of removal from office,
It is announced that the Postmaster General is
endeavoring to effect sucli=a change In the schedule
of time in the mail service, between Wasnington
and New Orleans, as will: prevent failures, and re
duce the time twenty-roar houra. It is said he pro
poses to avoid the . ocean portion of the route for
the great - mail, and resort to the Washington and
Manchester Railroad for connection with the South
Carolina road, as soon as completed.
THE LATE. DR. CARPENTER.
'the followingarticle from the Concordia (Louisi
sus) Intelligence'' exhibits his lofty character, and
shows how much he was esteemed and cherished for
his many virtues, high professional skill, and un
bending devotion to professional duty in the midst
of Aisease, pestilence and death :
DEATH OF DE. CAIIEENTEII.—Not only our little
community, but his numerous friends elsewhere,
-have met , with , a ead loos in the death of Dr. John
8.-Carpenter. To 138 he had become endeared not
only tts an,attentive and skillful physician, but as
a cheeiful and agreeable gentleman.
A few weeks ago he , returned from a visit to his
friends and relations rin, Lancaster, Pa., of which
-plaie , he.iims a native. Alas! he patted with them
forever. He arrived at his post just as the yellow
fever was stealthily creeping up the sinuoeities of
'the MississiPpi. It came—it blew its poisonous
breath into our, pure air and tainted it with corrup
tion- and death... Dr. C. had. never seen this•fever
before. e feli same diffidence in undertaking its
treatment We know he also left much apprehen
sion fbi, his own safety. but he fled not. Pro
lesalenel duty prevailed ,over personal prudence.
He remained at his post—at his post he tell. The
foyer hitacked him on Monday morning with great
Violence. It'tan its course and destroyed its vic.,
timin about forty-eight hours. On Wednesday that
tilme poWerful and vigorous frame was covered up
from oar sight forever.
We saw him on Monday morning, (sth inst.)
jasfaiter he had 'been attacked.' He complained of
intense pain in all his limbs, and seemed also in
inuch mental anxiety. Oh, vyhat were those tie
mendous thoughts which shook his soul as he drew
meter and nearer the dark valley? Dici he. draw
back ihudderingly froth its open portals? Or did
he deicry light' rising through the darkness, and
bright - ening-into the effulgence of eternal day? Fairi
worild we learn' that - death's terrors are only irriag
mary4-that all is light - beyond the grave. Fruitless
