Feed Money!
There is a large amount due us for subscrip
tion and advertising, which ought to be paid
without further delay. Our expenses are ne
cessarily heavy, and we need money to keep
us moving along. Will not those who know
themselves indebted make an effort to square
up their accounts, or, at least; pay us a part
of what is justly our due? The approaching
Courts will afford many of our country friends
an opportunity to call in person, or remit
by their neighbors. Those residing in the
city will not have far to travel to reach our
office in Duke street. We dislike dunning,
but necessity, it is said, knows no law.—
Hence, our appeal at this time.
An Admirable Letter
On our first page will be found the able
and patriotic letter of Hon. JOIIN L. DAWSON,
late member of Congress from the Fayette
district in this State, to the Legislature of
Kansas, in answer to an invitation from them
to visit that Territory. We commend it to
the careful perusal of all our readers.
Rejoicing at Something
The Know-Nothings of this City fired a
number of guns on Wednesday last. We
have not, as yet, been able to learn the rea
son of this waste of powder, unless it be be
cause they did not lose more ground in New
York and Massachusetts since tlast year, and
that they happened to carry one or two mem
bers of Congress in Maryland more than was
generally expected I It was surely not be
cause they were so badly beaten in Louisiana,
Mississippi, New Jersey and Wisconsin! and
in almost every State in which elections have
been held the present season.
Will some of our Know-Nothing friends ex
plain the cause of their jubilant demonstration.
M. CONGRESS will assemble on the 3d of
December. Already, as we learn from Wash
ington papers, members are beginning to ar
rivd at the Capital, and there will doubtless
be a quorum present at the opening of the
session. We anticipate a protracted and
stormy session growing out of the slavery
question, and the somewhat unsettled state
of our ihreign relations. The House of Rep
resentatives will be the great arena of strife;
—but wP look with confidence to the conserv
atism and patriotismof the Senate and Exec
utive to save the country from the reckless
ness and incapacity of the dominant party in
the other branch of Congress.
We have made arrangements by which we
expect to have a regular Washington corres
pondence during the session, and shall there

every thing important that may be transact

The Pittsburg •'Union" is strongly in favor
of WILSON. McCANDLEss, Esq., of that City,
fur C. S. Senator.' Cul. McC. is a sound Dem
oerat and a tqiented man, and would fill the
office with distinguished ability.
The Carlisle "Volunteer" and Carlisle "Dem
ocrat" are both in favor of Governor BIOLER fur
the same office, and urge his claims with great
force and zeal.
Messers FOSTER and DAWSON are also urged
for the station by a number of the western
democratic journals.

An error accidentally occurred last week in
noticing the result of the prosecutions against

"The %Nanning ( ~,,t h• aged 58 yearn and 5 weeks tried
acme time ago to live at $1 per year in advance, but finds
it impossible, and this week ann.:moss its terms as $1,50
per year, in advance. Bound corm"
Wee°lip the above paragraph from the
Lewisburg Chronicle, and cannot resist the op
portunity to say a few words to publishers of
papers in the inland towns of the State.—
Nothing is more common or proverbial than
the complaints of country editors of a want of
money, and no complaint has a better foun
dation in truth. Why is this? The causes
seem plain enough to us. First, there are too
many papers for the present demand of the
people. There are men in every county who
stippose that printing a• newspaper is an easy
and profitable business; and without a parti
cle of knowledge of what they are undertak
ing, forthwith procure material and commence
operations. It is not necessary for us to di
late upon the consequence—they are too
plain to have escaped the notice of any one at
all conversant with newspaper publication.—
But by way of hcinest advice to those who
contemplate " starting a new paper"—and
they can be numbered by scores—it may be
proper to say again, for the ten-thousandth
time, that there is no occupation attended
with more real labor of both head and hands,
and more vexation in a pecuniary sense, than
that of properly conducting a newspaper.—
We give this opinion knowing that it will not
be heeded, but we give it as an honest convic
tion. •
The second great evil that attends inland
printers is, the attempt to compete in prices
with the publishers in our large cities, whose
patronage is sufficient to enable them to bring
in the aid of steam and all the modern
ern appliances. It is simply ridiculous for
country printers to put their prices down to
one dollar, or even one dollar and fifty cents,
because the city weeklies are furnished at
that rate. Every one of those cheap weeklies
is made up of matter first used on daily, semi
weekly and tri-weekly papers, and then if not
re-hashed in a weekly (and it it oftener used
in two or three) is useless. Hence the ex
pense of issuing them is reduced to the mere
item of white paper—the press work amount
ing to nothing worth mentioning—and every
thing over the cost of that must be clear gain.
In the country, the type must be re-set every
week, and can be used for one paper only,
while the meagre patronage does not admit of
steam press work ; so that by the time the pa
per is ready to appear before the public the
expense of issuing it has very nearly eaten
up the income it will produce. We have al
ways thought, and we think yet, that no
country paper should be published at a sub
scription price of less than two dollars and fif
ty cents, in advance. We are sure that it
cannot be done for lees, and return a sufficient
remuneration to the publisher.
But there is another evil to which the in
land press is subject, that of doing business
on the credit system. No man can get a city
paper for one day unless he pay for it in ad
vance, and an advertisement not accompanied
by money is thrown aside as not worthy of
examination. Is it not the fault of printers
themselves that a different'state of things pre
veils in the interior to such a lamentable ex
tent ? If every one would agree with his fel
lows that no paper should be forwarded nor
any advertisement inserted until paid for, the
present loss and inconvenience would be en
tirely avoided, without any diminution of bus
iness. A small advance for advertising such
trash as quack medicines should also be made.
We know from experience that country print
ers get only about one third of what is charged
by our city brethren—even where the differ
ence in circulation is hardly perceptible. In
this particular, we for one have made a stand,
from which we do not mean to retire. We
have but one short advertisement of the kind
for which we do not get full rate pay, and
when that has expired, no other shall be in
serted unless our terms are complied with and
the pay advanced. We may as well sit still
and starve as to labor day and night, and
starve in the end.
The complaint that country papers are not
as large as those of the city, is the fault of
the country itself and not of the printer. Let
the men who discard local papers and patron
ize city re-prints, give their support at home,
and the result will soon manifest itself.—
Country printers do not lack the enterprise
nor the desire to compete with the city, but
they do lack the support to carry it out.
"Finally, let country publishers put their
subscription price to a living mark ; discard
advertisements that do not pay full rates ; do
a cash business ; endeavor to show others the
folly of starting three or four papers in a
small village ; and let the people support lo
cal papers in preference to city weeklies, and
we vouch for it that soon we shall have a
press that will bear comparison with any
abroad, and the printer will be able to make
at least a respectable living—a thing that ma
ny are not doing at present.—Lycoming Ga

MORRIS & WILLIS' HOME JOURNAL FOR 1856.
—The following literary attractions will in
duce thousands, we have no doubt, to add their
names (for the coming year) to the already ex
tensivesubscription list of this best of weeklies,
viz: a new novel by N. P. Willis, a series of
sketches in prose and verse, by General Mor
ris; and a novellette by J. M. Field, the popu
lar and well known "Straws" of the New Or
leans Picayune. The terms of the Home Jour
nal are but two dollars a year, and the office of
publication is at 107 Fulton Street, New York.
More Railroad Accidents
On the night of the 12th inst., the Express
Train from Albany, was thrown from the
track near Boston Four Corners, on the Har.,
lem Railroad, down an embankment of 25 feet
in heighth. Two men were killed, and about
a dozen persons severely injured. It is said
that the cause of the disaster was the high
wind, which blew the train off the track!
Doubtful.
On the same evening, when near Rochester,
N. Y., a freight and cattle train was thrown
from the track while crossing a bridge. One
person was killed, and a great number of cat
tle lost.
Se'. The steamship Empire City arrived at
New-York on Tuesday from the Isthmus,
bringing 710 passengers, the California mails,
arid $1,624,000 in gold—of which $366,000
was for Messrs. Drexel & Co., Brokers, Phila
delphia.
NEW YORK CATTLE MARKET.—The Tribune
of Thursday says :—There was a slight advance
yesterday in the price of bullocks of the first
class for beef, though many of the largest but
chars bought at the same rates as the previous
week. We see nothing to indicate any rise,
except such slight fluctuations as that of yes
terday, while we continue to receive the num
bers reported the last few weeks. There were
two thousand two hundred in theyards yester
day, and the receipts of the week were four
thousand seven hundred and fifty-three, and
we heard of only one small lot for shipment.
Some of the very best cattle were sold yes
terday at prices only equal to ten cents a
pound net for the beef, and but very few at
higher rates.
There is no occasion for an advance is but
chers' meats, but there is good reason for
them to moderate their charges.

ThePreildentlat Election.
The Presidential election of 1856 will be of
greater importrnce to the country than any
which has taken place since the adoption of
the Federal Constitution. It will, in truth,
involve the very existence of that Consti
tution, or at least, its application, in its true
intent and meaning, to the affairs of govern
ment. This is a matter of too grave importance,
to be overlooked by any portion of the Ameri
can people having the stability of the Union
and the true interests of the country at heart.
All honest patriots should. unite in the great
struggle, regardless of former party affinities
and predilections, and by a united front, north
and south, oppose the current of fanaticism
and treason which threatens to sweep away
every principle of rational freedom and every
prop that upholds the Union.
The Presidential campaign of 1856, as the
Patriot & Union very truthfully remarks, will
differ widely from all others which have pre
ceded it. Heretofore parties were organized
npon constitutional bases, and, whichever suc
ceeded, the country was safe. True, we al
ways contended, as we still contend, that the
principles professed and carried out by the
Democratic party were more liberal than those
acted upon by its opponents; but even when
beaten we were not oppressed by any grave
fears that the interests of the country would
be seriously disturbed. The liberty of the
citizens and the Union of the States we knew
would bo safe in any event; and fur the rest,
whatever errors might be committed were such
to be cured by time and reflection. But this
is not now the case; and it is idle to say there
is no danger. Unless the Know-Nothings, the
Abolitionists, and their allies mean nothing
more by their doctrines than to humbug the
people, there is not only a probability, but an
absolute certainty of serious, perhaps fatal
convulsions. Even Mr. Seward, should he be
the next President, supposing him tube averse
to carrying out the execrable principles of his
partizans, could not with all his statesman
ship and acknowledged ability, resist the im
portunities of the reckless and exasperated
fanatics who direct and control his motley
battalions. They have sworn on the one hand
that slavery shall be abolished or the Union
dissolved; on the other hand that immigration
shall be stopped and liberty of conscience for
bidden by stringent laws, regardless of the
plain provisions of the Constitntion. Who
acquainted with the character of these despe
rate fytions, can doubt that they mean what
they Fay, or that, should the reins of govern
ment fall into their hands, they would make an
effort, at least to carry their infamous profes
sions into practice ? -It is sheer madness to
shut our eyes to the dangers that menace the
country and make no timely effort to avert
them. Against this union of bad mbn, we must
have a union of the good and wise of all par
ties; and this can only be accomplished by
those who have hitherto belonged to different
party organizations, but have now only the
safety of the Union and the welfare of the
country at heart, attaching themselves to the
Democratic organization.
The Democratic party is now the only na
tional party. Its organization is the same
north and south; and so, with some slight
shades of difference, which never disturb its
harmony, are its doctrines. That they are
safe and sound the prosperity of the country
under till its administrations offers abun
dant evidence; so that in calling on all true
patriots to rally under its broad banner in
this time of peril, we invite them to an ark of
safety, where they may plant themselves and
wage an honorable warfare for our common
rights and interests.
Delegate. to the Next Democratic State
Convention'
The Democratic party of the State has been
moving quietly and energetically in reference
to the election of delegates to the State Con
vention which assembles at Harrisburg on the
4th of March next, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the Democratic National Conven
tion, to be held at Cincinnati, to nominate
Democratic candidates for President and Vice
President. The State Convention nominates
also candidates for Canal Commissioner, Aud
itor General and Surveyor General.
Our political friends in the interior of the
State have never been more united than at
the present moment. They have never acted
more correctly with reference to the true in
terests of the Democratic party, although not
very demonstrative in their efforts or loud in
making their preferenCes known. In looking
over the names of the delegates already chosen
to the next State Convention, it is not difficult
to decide that Pennsylvania will proclaim
her opinion to the democracy of the Union on
the 4th of March next, with more than usual
unanimity. Some twenty counties of the six
ty in the State have elected delegates to Har
risburg, and those which are still to elect ,
have generally acted in hearty co-operation
with the gentlemen already chosen. Among
the counties that have already elected Senato
rial representatives, are Berks, Bucks, North
ampton and Lehigh, York, Centre, Lycoming,
Clinton and Sullivan, Luzerne, Montour and
Columbia, Erie and Crawford, Juniata, Mif
flin and Union, and Schuylkill.
The following counties have also elected
representative Delegates:
Clarion. Crawford, Beaver, Bqdford, Cam
bria, Berke, Bucks, Blair, Huntingdon, Car
bon, Dauphin, Franklin, Lnzerne, Veilango,
Northampton, Northumberland, Schuylkill,
Union, Juniata, York, Lebanon, and others.
It is certain, from the names of the Dele_
gates chosen in the above counties, and from
the fact that the heavy counties of Lancaster,
Chester, Montgomery, Cumberland, Alleghany,
Westmoreland, Washington, Fayette, Greene,
and most of the counties of the north and
northeast, are still to elect, that an immense
majority of the next State Convention will be
united upon such a policy as will secure to the
country a candidate worthy the support of the
Democracy, and certain of election in 1856.
Never before have the democratic party 'of
Pennsylvania been more undivided in senti
ment, in relation to their choice, than at the
present moment; and while they will not be
driven into a hasty expression of preference,
it is abundantly clear that the political com
plexion of the organization which contributed
so much to the election of sound men as the
Representatives of the people in the late elec
tion, and which has for nearly twenty years
past been in the ascendant in Pennsylvania,
will be manifested by an overwhelming vote
in the next State Convention. Some three
counties of the State, represented by eight
delegates out of the fifty-seven already chosen,
have made a declaration in•favor of Mr. DAL-
Les, for the Presidency. The Democracy of
Philadelphia City, who will be called together
in February to elect their Delegates to the
State Convention, will doubtless be enrolled
as usual with a majority of the Democratic
party in the next State Convention.—Pean

addressed to Mr: Lane, one of the Directo

pany :—LDaily News.
Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad,
November 2, 1855.
James B. Lane, Esq.—Dear Sin—ln
early part of October I received 13,000 poi
of semi-Bituminous coal you had forwai
from the Broad Top Coal Region, with I
view of ascertaining whether the coal
that field was suitable fuel for locomotivel
Ones. The accompanying table contain:
result of the experimentsmade with it, an
other kinds of bituminous coal.
During the past year we have been using
bituminous on many of our engines, exclukive
ly, to great advantage when it could be ob
tained of suitable quality. No wood ie re
quired with Pittsburg coal, or with equal
parts of Hollidaysburg and Pittsburg mixed
together—to use the former alone is rather
too costly, and but part of the time only can
we get a supply of the two kinds properly
mixed. The two kinds mixed is preferable,
and much more economical than Pittsburg.
Hollidaysburg coal cannot be used !Pone
without using large quantities of woodd and
then it is destructive to the grate bars. I The
kind of coal wanted by the railroad inl the
eastern part of the State is a bituminous, equal
to Pittsburg for generating steam,- and this
quality, I think, the Broad Top Field contains,
and if it can be furnished like that which we
received, there will be no economy in using
Anthracite on any of the railroads east of
the Allegheny mountains—provided ; the
Broad Top can be supplied at reasonable
rates.
-
The coal was unloaded near our machine
shops in Columbia, and it being discmlered
that it was so superior for blacksmith putpos
es, the smiths could not refrain from using
some of it on their fires, thus reducing! the
quantity to barely sufficient for an experi
ment ; had there been enough for two trials,
I would have had two experiments of each
kind; which would have enabled me to report
more satisfactorily. Different coals require
different treatment ; and the engineers never
having used any Broad Top, I was fearful the
fireman might not treat it properly, or Use it
to as good advantage, on the first trip, as he
would have done on a second trial. The;fire
man was perfectly acquainted with the Other
kinds of coals, and they consequently had
rather the advantage of the sample you sent
me.
An experienced engineer, who has beerhuse
ing coal for many years, Mr. Hays Smith,iwas
placed on the engine, in addition to the regu
lar engineer, to conduct the experiments, and,
it is his opinion that had they understood the
nature of the coal before leaving Columbia, as
they did when they permitted the fire to go
down on approaching the other end of the
road, several hundred pounds of coal w r ould
have been saved.
Until yesterday, I was of the opinion that
Pittsburg coal could not be excelled for gene
rating steam. The experiment proved tho su
periority of Broad Top, and places the form
er second on the list fur steam purposes. , Mr.
Smith's statement is as follows:
" Broad Tqp coal made more steam, and a
more regular fire was obtained by it than from
either of the other kinds ; no poking or raking
was required ; no clinker was found, and hut
a small quantity of ashes in ash-pan ; the dom
bustion of the coal was complete. Some clin
ker remained from the raised coal, caused by
the dirt in the Hollidaysburg coal, though
none to injure the draft. No clinker from the
Pittsburg.
" I prefer the Broad Top, such as we had,
to Pittsburg, or to any coal I have ever used.
I could not desire a better coal fur a locomo
tive. The smoke from it is not near so dense
or black as from Pittsburg. A few minutes
after supplying the fire with fresh coal, very
little smoke is observable, and none when the
valve is closed. With Pittsburg it is differ
ent ; when the valve is closed a black smoke
issues from the stack, as well as throughlthe
fire door. The steam-gunge can be kept] at
130 pounds much more easily with it than
with Pittsburg. The fire does not require
as much watching, and can be kept more reg
ular, and lasts much longer, than Pittsburg.
" The mixed coal is well adapted for loco
motives ; it is preferable to Pittsburg alone, as
a fire made with them lasts longer and More
regular. Broad Top, compared with the mied
coal, is about equal for regularity of Sir—
though I would prefer Broad Top if in luMps
or coars coal. Broad Top acts on the fire
more like wood than any coal I have ever aced.
When the valve was closed descending the
grade to West Philadelphia, the steam guage
continued at 130 pounds. When descending
any of the grades, the guage showed aricin
creased pressure. Were not troubled with
smoke from it at any time ; it was as cleat. as
a wood-fire."
The experiment proved the coal to be much
better than I anticipated, as I was doubtful of
it answering a good purpose by itself. If we
could obtain a supply of this kind of coal, 'we
would use it exclusively; wood only would be
required to " fire up."
At the-present cost of Hollidaysburg and
Pittsburg coal, using them in equal parts, a
trip costs 83,95 less than when Pittsburg alone
is used.
It appears by our experiment that Pittsburg
coal is equal to but 85 per cent of Broad Top,
and the Broad Top is therefore 15 per cent
better for generating steam than any Bitumin
ous Coal in the State.
If it is possible to obtain six or eight tons
more this month, I would give it another trial,
as I desire to ascertain the comparative cost
of wood with Hollidaysburg and Pittsbnrg
mixed and Pittsburg alone, and Broad Tpp,
if it can be obtained in time, and give the e
suit in my Annual Report, in December:

cenaries, to come under his banner, and help
defend his cause ? Say ; did Jonathan think
of prowling about John'spurlieus, like a thief
in the night, matching away, here and there,
from mines, and factories, and farms, wretch:
es in a state of semi -barbarism? Why, the
.very suggestion would have more stirred Jon
athan's bile, than would now the whole Se
bastopol force on his soil arouse his fear
No ; Jonathan quietly raised the stars and the
stripes in different places on his farm, and not
merely FIFTY THOUSAND, but FIVE HUN
DRED THOUSAND FREEMEN voluntarily
gathered round this glorious and unsullied
banner, and what most troubled Jonathan
was, to know how to pick out of so many gal
lant men the few he really needed!
Now cousin John Bull, you had better stop
being gruff and surly, and impertinent, and
arrogant, he., towards Jonathan, and put this
fact down in
„your note book. It's something
worth considering, John ! Roll it all under
your tongue, Juhn. Stop grumbling long
enough - to think up to its full meaning and
significance, John. There is alood deal to be
inferred from 'this most striking revelation
of national power which this age has seen,
John. You might make forty such exhibi
tions of yourself as you have made last year
in the Crimea—we say nothing %bout the
French feats—and lose credit before the world
each time; while the fact that HALF A MILLION
OF FREEMEN—exactly such men, John, as paid
their respects to you at Bunker HilL'and Sar
atoga, and Yorktown, and New Orleans—vol
unteered to go out of their country to fight,
tells how young America would look with
arms iu his hands! Think of a nation of sov-
EREIGNS with arms in their hands, John!
But this is not all—not half .of what you
will do very well to think of, John. You are
sending a few of your ships over here, are
you ? Well, Jonathan's farm is a good deal
extended and exposed. A large part of it is
not fenced in at all ! And you might put live
or fifty thousand of your "foreign legion" on
it in many places—say in order to protect
Ireland !! Now-, there is y new problem in
political arithmetic which you may think of.
It would not hurt you a bit to work it 'out.—
If half a million of freemen volunteered, in
1840, to leave their pursuits, and go forth
defend the rights of their country in a
_foreign
land, how many, John, would flock- ar,:und
the stars and stripes, from every walk in life,
to chastise an invader of their lattice how
long would it be before these thousands of in
vaders would thaw away ? Again we say,
think up John, to the eminent gravity of
of this question : to the half a million of omen
fact we have named ; and let Jonathan alone.

The best thing Lord Palmerston can do is
to order his fleet right back again. Here it
looks saucy. The tirades of,theLondon Times
and its cehoes are really of fie account. They
are mere gasconade. IVho cares fur them
Too much consequence has always been at
tached to such things. This government gun
business is another affair. But Jonathan's
course is onward to his manifest destiny ; and
John should strive for grace to acknowledge,
that no country in the world has derived so
much profit from Jonathan's progress as has
Great Britaiti ; and no country will continue
to derive one half the benefit from the sure
march to greatness of these United States.—
John, Don't grumble with your bread and
butter.
Front Nicaragua
By the arrival of the Northern Light, from -
San Juan, which place she left on the 2nd of
November, news has.beep received of the com
plete success of Walker's military expedition.
On the 23d of October a treaty of peace was
concluded between Walker and the Chomono
party, through Ponciano Corral, Gen.-in-Chief;
Don Patricio Rivas was sworn in as Provin
cial Governor; and General William Walker
was chosen . Commander in-Chief of the filibus
tering army. How this affair may eventually
end cannot be foretold. It is certainlyone of the
boldest expeditions on' record; but the people
are pleased with the change of government,
and we trust that good may come out of the
elt,il perpetrated. There does not appear to
be much harmony between the Kinneyites
and Walkerites; but perhaps their differences
may be satifactorily settled, and then, if the
fillibusters - should turn in to honest labor, in
stead of robbing and cutting throats, there can
be no doubt that the invasion will prove a
great blessing to the country.
ROBBERIES AND FRAUD IN NEW YORK.—Ne‘c
York, Nov 14. Yesterday evening, a returned
Californian was robbed of $4,000 at thalrving
House. The thief entered his room by means
of false keys. The same evening, a gentleman
had 'his pockets picked of $2,400 near the
Washington market.
Several merchants were arrested to-day,
charged with conspiracy to defraud a number
of wholesale dealers of large quantities of goods.
They wore held in $3,000 to answer.
DANISH Souse DUES.—The Washington
Union has an editorial article on this subject,
in which it makes use of the following import-
ant language:
" We have noticed some traces of apprehen
sion that the pendi❑g controversy between
the United States and Denmark may act prej
udicially upon our relations with Great Brit
ain. This we know to be a mistake. There
is no difference of opinion between the two
governments on the subject."
The Union goes on to say, that public opin
ion in Great Britain refuses to sanction the
effort of Denmark to make the Sound dues a
political buestion, and that the proposed cap
italization scheme is regarded as equally ab
surd.
TILE NEW COMMANDER IN TIIE CRIMES, Lieu
tenant General Sir William Codrington, is
now in his 50th year. He is the oldest sur
viving son of Admiral Sir Edward Codrington,
the victor of Navarino. lie entered the
Coldstreatri Guards in the year 1821, and was
connected wiih tlem for thirty three years
withoutseeing any war experience:yet he rile
from rank to rank until ho became a Major
General, in 1854, just at the commencement
of the war with Russia. He went to the East
as an amateur, but on the return of the Quar
termaster General, lord De Ros, on account
of ill health, Brigadier General Airey
was appointed to succeed him, and General
Codrington was appointed over Airy's brigade.
He figured at Alma, Inkerman, and the last
attack on the Redan. The latter was com
manded by him. If that boa fair specimen of
his generalship, the change in the command of
the British forces can scarcely be regarded as
an improvement.

,It .Professor-Timusv's Lecture, on Wed
nesday evening last, at Fulton Hall, was not
so well`attended as it should have been. His
subject, " The Elements of Success in Life,"
was treated with distinguished and
with the commanding eloquence for which
the speaker is so justly distinguished. It t'as
truly a splendid effort, and those who wore
present enjoyed a fine literary treat. The
lecture was free from any taint of Know-Nuth
ingism, or politics of any kind, and, in this re
spect, contrasted favorably with his speech in
the same place'last winter. We presume the
Professor has become tireil of Know Nothing
ism and will from henceforth be a better and
more useful man, and turn his attention to
more profitable and becoming suljects than
the advocacy of the unchristian and unconsti
tutional doctrines of the followers of " Sam."
lbSa- The regular Court of Quarter Sessions
commenced on yesterday. There are several
important cases to be decided—amongst which
are the contested right of Messrs. Duchman
and Eckert.to fill the office of Prison Inspect
ors—the trial of Charles Boughter, Esq.—and
the Tavern Keepers who have been indicted
for selling liquor in opposition to the -Jug
Law."
We shall give the proceedings of the ,es
siun in our next issue: .
SeL" GOTTSCHALK, the celebrated American
Pianist, who entertained cur citizens so ad
mirably on the evening of the 2d lust., bus
consented, at the earnest request of a large
number of our most influential citizens, to
give a second concert, in Fulton Hall, thi,.
evening, (Tuesday) to commence at 7 u'elnek,
prier to his leaving for South America and
urope.
Of course, every body will go to hear him
te-night. He richly deserves an overflowing
house.

LECTURE AT SPRECIIER's HALL.—The third of
the Young Men's course of lectures will be de
livered on Friday evening next, in Sprecher's
New Hall, by Rev. ALFRED NEVIN. The sub
ject chosen for the occasion is "3IAKE Vora
MARC—and we can assure our readers that
the speaker will be prepared to give his audi
tors an unusually entertaining and instructive
lecture. Let every friend of this course exert
himself to bring out a full house, and we prom
ise that they shall not be disappointed.
BIBLE SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the
Lancaster County Auxiliary Bible Society will
be held in the Rev: Mr. Nevin's Church on
Thursday evening next; and the Auiversary
Sermon will be delivered in the same Church
on the evening of the same day.
1r41.. The First Anniversary of the "Young
Men's Christian Association" was held in the
First M. E. Church, of this city, on Thursday
evening, and was attended by a very large
and intelligent audience. The exercises were
opened with singing by the Choir, and prayer
by the Rev. Mr. Baldwin—after which the
Annual Report was read by Rev. Mr. Locke,
the President of the Association. Addresses
were delivered by Jas. Black, Esq., and Rev. 1).
\V. Bartine, in their usual able and eloquent
style. The singing by the Choir was excellent,
and the large audience were delighted with
the exercises of the evening. At the con
clusion, the benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. Mr. Ilelfenstein.
A HANDSOME PAINTING.-Mr. J. Goldman,
of No. 20 E. King street, has execute& an
admirable painting of JOHN LANDES, Esq.,
President Of the Lancaster County Bank! It
is a life-like picture, and reflects great credit
upon Mr. G. who has thus shown himself to be
a first-rate artist. The picture can he seen at
his Clothing Store, next door to the Lancaster
County Bank.
One of the neatest )Vatch and Jewelry
Establishments in the ciey, is MILLER'S, in
W. King street, next door to Cooper's Hotel.
Mr. Miller has fitted up his store in handsome
style, and his large stock of Watches, Clocks,
&,0., are displayed to great advantage. It is
really an ornament to West King street, and
he deserves success for the taste ho has exhib
ited in his enterprize.
VESTER'S PERPETUAL POCKET CALENDAR.-
Mr. Young of the Centre Square Bookstore,
has kindly presented us with one of these
handsome and useful pocket pieces. By set
ting it on the first of each month the holder
can see at a glance what day of the week any
day of that month will correspond with. The 3
are for sale at his Bookstore, and, as they are
very cheap, every body should have one.
fierA sermon appropriate to the occasion,
will be preached by Rev. D. IV. Barthie, in the
First M. E. Church of this city, on Thanks
giving Day—services to commence at I.oi
u' clock. A collection will be taken up in aid
of the Lancaster City Bible Society.
DMA valuable store stand is now offered
for sale, right in the centre of the city, which
we consider one of the very best stands for
any kind of business. Such a chance for a
good and well established store stand is
very rarely offered, we therefore direct the
attention of fie public to it. See the adver
tisement of Mr. A. N. Breneman.
ANOTHER CONCERT.—Mr. Gottschalk, whose con
cert on the 2d inst., gave such getieral satisfaction
to all who were present, has consented—as will be
seen by the following correspondence, to give anoth
er Concert on the 20th instant—this evening. Mr.
Gottschalk is undoubtedly one of the best perform
ers living. All who were present on the former oc
casion will be glad to hear him again; and those who
wereabsent then will do well to embrace this oppor
tunity.

GENTLEMEN
I am just in receipt of the letter that you have
done me the honor to address to me. Your invita
tion to give a farewell Concert in Lancaster and the
sentimenas which accompany it, are too flattering
for me to hesitate in accepting it an once.
In the coarse of my European career, I have fre
quently met with tokens of public appreciation, but
from however high a source they proceeded they nev
er impressed me so deeply aa those which have been
profferred me by my own countrymen. I therefore
accept your invitation with pride as well as pleasure,
and beg to name TUESDAY, tit 20th inst., as the
evening for the concert.
Allow me, gentlemen, in thanking you for your
kivdness, to express to you my best wishes for your

Young :lien's ! Christian Associailoii.
This - vilry important and - flourishing association
held its fast Anniversary at the let Methodist Epis
copal Cliffich in this l city, on 'Thursday evening last.
The audiehce pi eseuf filled completely that spacious
edifice, anpl a great many not being able to lied seats
were obligpil to stand up in the vestibule. A largo
proportioil of the audience were females, evincing the
interest of the young ladies of Lancaster in the 'Alerts
putilorth for the social elevation of the young men.
fluf President, Itev.lW. Locke, took the chair at
o'clock{` and after the singing of an appropriate
ode; by the Chuir,l Pw. Mr. Baldwin led in
prayer. .i-11ter prayer, the President addressed the
congregation, giviug'a. historical notice of the Asso

Mr. Drysdale on thol4th of November, 1854 to the
present tithe. 110 stated that the Association num
tiered abet& 180 members, divided into active and
assueiate Members. i The active members arc such
as are cunfiected with.evangelical christian churches,
and are phincipally i relicd upon in every effort for
the!mciallmoral and intellectual elevation of the
communit . The ,ssuciation, however, opens its
doors to every young wan, not connected with such
churches, and impels to him all the advantages of
the: Association, reserving only the right of voting
and hold* office. Ithe Society has a reading room
open every evening 'except Sunday evenings, and a
library offal:oat 250 volumes, and every young man
in the city! is at liberty to use the reading room and
library without charge. The Association has ser
mons preabhed for its special benefit, at stated pee
ods, and hue this fall instituted a course of verybril-
Hain lectures for the benefit of the whole community
—2 lecturds of this course have already been given
to very laige, highly delighted, and'greatly profited
audiences.: 10 lectures yet remain, which is is confi
dently believed will be equally • orthy the support
of all as those already delivered.• The Association
has had seine embarrassments and difficulties to con
tend withjbut it is Believed has successfully over
come them:, and rejoice in the assurance theta bright
day is daitning upon it. After the historical review
o the President, Jarties Blank, Esq., addressed the
audience in a happy Manner, for about half an hour.
H e was followed"ythe Bev. Mr. Bartine, who most
eloquentlyland bcauLifully set forth what has been
accomplished by yudisg men in different ages, and
what they are capable of accomplishing. These ex
ercises wars interspersed with muse of a high order
from a large and well trained choir. The services
were all ondeep interest., and though continued to a
somewhat late hour chained the audience fast to the
very last. This Ass!ciation is truly doing a good
work and! ought to hays the liberal support of the
