We Need Money 2 There is a large amount due us for subscrip tion and advertising, which ought to be paid without further delay. Oar expenses are ne cessarily heavy, and we need money to keep us - moving along. Will not those who know themielves indebted make an effort to square up their accounts, or, at least, pay us a part of what is justly our due P 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 ko law.— Hence, our appeal at this time. The Liquor question The recent action of the Grand Jury of this county, in ignoring the bills against the Tav ern Keepers for a violation of the Restraining or "Jug Law," shows how dangerous it is for legislators to go in advance of public opinion in attempting to reform the morals of the people. Here is a solemn enactment of the Legislature deliberately set aside by a Grand Jury, and, it cannot be doubted, that in their action they have done nothing more or less the, reflect public opinion in Lancaster coun ty. And to show that the Jury were not ac tuated by a desire to ,promote or encourage drinking or drunkenness, they found true bills in all cases, w•e believe, for a violation of.tbe Sunday Law, selling liquor to Minors, or for keeping Tippling Houses. The "Jug Law" is therefore, a dead letter, so far as Lancaster county is concerned, and it should be repealed without hesitation by the next Legislature. The people of the Com monwealth decided in 1854 against Prohibi tion—and the people of Lancaster county, through their Grand Jury, have repeated that decision in a way and manner which cannot be misunderstood. Far better to have no laws, than to save them of so odious a character as that they can he trampled under foot with impunity by the people, and even nullified by the deliberate action of a Grand Jury. IE9. Our friend Bratton, of the Carlisle "Volunteer," is slightly mistaken, in claiming all the nine appointees of the Canal Board, enumerated by him, as Lancasterians. Lan caster county only claims six of the nine, viz: Messrs. Baker, Lightner, King, Watts, Roath and Holbroook. The other three hail from other counties—Mr. Carmony from Lebanon, Mt. Mayer from Columbia, and Mr. Carson from Dauphin county. Their temporary res idence is, of course, in this county.. But so is Mr. Bentz's, and the "Volunteer" might as well set him down also to the credit of Lan caster county, notwithstanding hie temporary sojourn in our midst. Mr. Bration seems to have overlooked the fact that, there are, in addition to Mr. Bentz, two more appointees on the Columbia railroad bailing frOm Cumberland county, viz: Messrs. John Brannon and Andrew Roberts. So that our friend will see at a glance that Cumber land has not been treated so very "shabbily" after all, in this matter. ZOW'THANKSCITING DAY was very generally kept in this city, on Thursday last, according to the recommendation of the Governor of the Commonwealth. All business was suspended. the streets were filled with well-dressed people, all of whom appeared to enjoy the holiday.— divine service was held in the various church es during the forenoon, and in the afternoon there was many a social gathering around the family hearth-stone, where ties of affection and-love were cemented, and made stronger by the kindly feelings which animated the hearts of all. The custom, which owes its origin to our Pilgrim fathers, is a beautiful one, and we trust it may ever be observed, not only as a manifestation to Divine Providence for the many blessings conferred upon us, but as a means of binding more closely togeth er, friends, relatives and neighbors in the bond's of affection. sfir Col.

Era - A number of the Philadelphia tavern keepers have been arrested and bound over, by the .Mayor, to answer for violating the Sunday liquor law. The oath was made against them by several of the Mayor's police officers, who, it appears, went from one tavern to another as pimps and spies, as also for get ting a skinfull themselves—some of them.hav ing taken as many as seven or eight drinks at different houses on the same day! What moral reformers these Know-Nothings are! Ita. We cut the following from the Pitts• burgh Post, of the 24th inst., which may be regarded as indicating the result in Allegheny county on the Presidential question : Comaprzz MEETING.—A meeting of the County Democratic Committee of Correspon dence ie called. The object of the meeting is to fix the time for holding a County Conven tion to eleot delegates to the State Convention. This is the Presidential movement. Our coun ty,-we presume, will go as most of the other ommtiee of the State have for James Buchanan. ..Arista and thaJLllles lord Palmerston says that England and Erni:ice are,the two greatest, most intelligent potent and liberal nations in the world, and' that the war in the Crimea has not been a war against a single fortress, but. against the whole power of Russia—here the northern au tocrat had concentrated his national strength, and here the whole military resources of Rus sia have been defeated. The special corres pondent of the London Times, however, does not think the allies have much to boast of, after all. This correspondent writes as fol lows : " The Russians, so far from flying in dis comfort over boundless wastes, are calmly strengthening their position on the north side. The face of the country bristles with their can non and their batteries. There is no trace of any intention on their part to abandon a po sition on which they have lavished so much care and labor. They retired from the south side when it became untenable, shaken to pie ces by a bombardment which it is impractica ble for us to renew. They have now between themselves and us a deep arm of the sea, a river, and the sides of a plateau as steep as a wall. We let them go off at their leisure, and looked on, much as we would have gazed on the mimic representation of such a scene at Astiy's, while the Russian battalions filed in dless column over the narrow bridge, emerging in unbroken order out of that fright ful sea of raging fire and smoke, which was tossed up into billows of, flame by the frequent explosion of great fortresses and magazines. What time our generals woke up and knew what was going on I cannot tell, but it is cer tain they did not as a body distress them selves by any violent efforts to get a near view of the enemy's movements early in the morn ing. It was late in the day when Fort Paul blew up. The mine missed in the first in stance ; but, so cool were the enemy, so per fectly satisfied of our inaction were they, and so convinced they had awed us by their tre mendous energy in destruction, that they sent across a boat with a few men in her, about half-past four o'clock in the evening, who landed and went into the fort, and were seen by several people in the act of entering, in or der to prepare for the explosion which fol lowed immediately after they had retired.— Spies have, however, informed the authorities in the most positive manner that the Russians were prepared to retreat, and had all in read iness to cover a retrograde movement, in case the fleet succeeded in forcing a passage, and the allies evinced a determination of throwing -their whole force against the north side.— Their field guns and guns of position were all in readiness, and were strengthened by a very large corps of cavalry, which Would hold our infantry in check, and our cavalry could not, of course, get over the water in less than sev eral days, nor could it gain the heights of Mackenzie unless the infantry had previously established themselves there. Everything was foreseen and calculated, and the Russians were in hopes that they might catch us at a disadvantage amid some of their fortified po sitions in a difficult country, and retrieve their past disasters, or, at all events, make a mas terly retreat. But when they saw that all was hesitation, if not confusion, in the army of the allies, they recovered their courage, stared the situation in the face for one mo ment, and the next were busily employed in making the best of it, and they have now erect ed such batteries as to shut up the harbor to our present iavy, and to render any attempt to cross it as rash as it would be undesirable. Yesterday they finished a new line of batter ies, to-day we begin to make some in reply. Is it the ease thatsteam has impeded the action of our fleet the land transport has stopped the march of our army ° lam assured that Col. M'Murdo will not permit any such assertion to be made, for with certain small help of men the army he pl'ofessekto be ready to take the field and to carry provisions and ammunition for our ava 'Able strength of bayonets de tatched on a short expedition. As to the French, they have certified their mobility by the rapid demonstration of four divisions on Baidar. Then why did not the English move There were orders and counter orders day of ter day—requisitions on Captain This to know how many mules he had to carry ball cart ridge, orders to Captain That to turn out his battery in order to take the field at daybreak next morning, counter orders in the evening recountered and retracted at night, till it was hard to say what was to he done; and if the men who gave the commands were in half as confused state of mind as those who received them they were indeed in a pitiable plight. It is quite evident the expectations of the peo ple at home have nut been gratified to the full extent, and that we are not in undisputed pos session of Sebastopol; that the Russians are not utterly defeated; and that the campaign will have to he renewed next year by doing what might have been done several weeks ago. How nanny men will Russia have iu the Crimea by the time the country is fit for military ope rations, should she be determined to held it, and be able to maintain the war? On the north side there are few houses, but there are very large magazines. In fact there'was no step taken to insure the possession of the fruits of our labor. We did not prepare for success, and we now have to face a new campaign, and the Russians have seven or eight months to strengthen themselves, to recruit their exhaus ted army, to gather new materiel, and to dis pute our progress with fresh slaughter, which leaves us victory but half enjoyed. The British army is busily engaged road making, hut building, and drilling. As yet the vast majority of the soldiers are under canvass, and are likely to be-so for a couple of months longer. The trenches—those monu ments of patient suffering, of endurance, of courage—will soon he no more. The guns are withdrawn; indeed, they are now nearly all gone. The gabions are going fast, for the men have re .dived permission to use them for fuel. Batrisu It;soaANTE.—The English press, says the Philadelphia Sun, areas ignorant of our politics as they are of our geography.— The London News stultifies itself by saying: "The alliance between Old and New England, in. a crisis which tests the very principles that are the life-blood of both, must he stronger than the Union which the Northern and Southern States arc alike and simultaneously threatening to dissolve. Massachusetts will never aim a stab at Europe to make South Carolina Queen." Our London cotemporary should remember that we may have our little domestic squabbles, butit is always dangerous for a stranger to interfere in them. 31assachu setts would see all Europe bleeding at every pure, and its thrones tumbling into deserved decay, before she would see a foreign insult to South Carolina to pass unavenged. We may be "distinct as the billows" in our homo quar rels, but we are always "one as the sea' , when the blast of war calls upon us to stand shoul der to shoulder for the Union ! SCNDURY AND ERIE RAILROAD.--170 learn from the Sunbury American that the last span of the bridge over the Susquehanna, on the Northumberland side, was put up last week. The bridge on the Sunbury side is nearly up. Both will he sufficiently completed for the passage of locomotives before the Ist of Jan uary. The small link, ofkoad making through Sunbury, to connect ihe Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad with the Sunbury and Erie, is also rapidly progressing. The rails are now being laid on a portion of it, and the whole will be ready, we presume, by the time the bridges are completed. We may there fore expect that the oars of the Sunbury and Erie road will commence running from this place by the' st of January next—when coal will be carried direct from the mines at Sha mokin to Elmira and all intermediate places on the Sunbury and Erie, Williamsport and Elmira, and different points on the New York and Erie Railroads. AGAIN UNFORTCNATE.—We regret to learn that Mr. John Wilhelm, the engineer, who was so severely injured by the explosion of his engine a short time since, met with a mis hap the other day, whereby he again disloca ted the thigh bone which had been broken by that accident. His wife, also who had been previously partially deranged, on learning of the accident became so much worse, that it was found necessary to send her to the State Asylum, at Harrisburg. Of a truth misfor tunes come not singly or alone.—Examiner. lion,-James Suataztau. - - - We observe in several of our exchanges the name of the lion. James Buchanan, of Penn sylvania, mentioned as prominently before the, minds of the people as the probable nominee for the presidential chair at the approaching canvass. It is duato that distinguished states man of the Jefferson school of pblities, to refer to such facts in his past history is may entitle him to the consideration of the State rights Democracy. We have one before our . minds which presents a bright page in his biography, and we must take the liberty to refer to it.— In his celebrated speech on the veto power, delivered in February, 1842, Mr. Buchanan thus expressed himself : "Let me suppose a case of a much more dangerous character. In the Southern States, which compose a weaker portion of the Union, aopecips of prop arty exists which attracts the attention of the whole civilized world. These States would never have become parties in the Union had I not the rights of this property been secured by the federal constitution. Foreign and domestic fanatics—some from the hplief that they are doing God's service, and °There from a desire to .divide and destroy this glorious republic —have conspired to emancipate the Southern slaves. On this question the people of the South, beyond the limits of th eir own States, , stand alone and unsupportedby anypower, on I earth, save that of the northern Democracy." I What was clearly apparent to the mind of . Mr. Buchanan at the time of the enunciation of the above proposition, in the United States Senate, has been hourly becom ing more and more pitiable to the univer sal mind of the people, untill its truth is at ! last painfully placed beyond the reach of eon ; troversy. It is indeed true—and the troth should be proclaimed, trumpet-tongued, throughout the land, until it falls on the ears of the people in a tone of reality—that the National Dem ocracy is the sole ally with which the South can unite in a bondof amity on the slave ques tion. Either the hond must be entered into or the confederacy must be broken, and the . South depend on her own right arm for the maintenance of her institutions. We desire ! cordially to see averted this last dire alterna tive, and we put the question, how is that desire ! to be consummated, than by the mode which wehave justpointed out? What other remedy can we suggest for the boding evils that now hang suspended over our country? We an swer, none. We appeal, therefore, to the South to rally with her Northern friends un der the lead of Mr. Buchanan or whoever else maybe the selected candidate—and as at pres ent advices we see no one more meritorious —and bear triumphantly the banner of State rights against the foes of the Union and the constitution. We have contented ourselves with quoting a single passage from the many speeches of Mr. Buchanan, illustrative of his friendship to the South. We ought to add, that in this respect his whole political career has been most signally consistent; that with surpassing eloquence he has vindicated Southern rights when assailed, and stood by them with manly fortitude and unswerving fidelity. Her heart must be cold indeed, when it ceases to warm at the name of James Buchanan, of Pennsyl vania.—St. Louis ..liirror. ttfa.. A special election in Virginia, for Senator to represent in the State Legislature the district composed of the counties of Hamp shire, Hardy, and Morgan, has resulted as follows :—for James D. Armstrong, Whig,' 1461 ; for Joseph S. Duckwall, Democrat, 1229 ; Armstrong's majority 232. We give the politicaldesignations as we find them in theßichmond papers, not knowing whether the term Whig be in this case convertible forAmer lean or otherwise. Though as a national or ganization, the Whig party is now dead be yond question, it yet exists as a local or ganization in various quarters Thus 'at the recent election in New Jersey, the Whigs and Americans, in many cases run separate tick ets, and the Whigs were largely successful.— It is, however, merely as a local organization that it exists in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Now York, Massachusetts, and Maine, and as no effort has been made looking to a gener al combination to revive the party, it may be regarded as but the remnant of that earnest devotion so long cherished for it. The organ. ization has not survived the illustrious states men who founded it, but in its stead has aris en a new and more powerful successor, with a partizan system so effective as to have begun its career with a wonderful series of successes. —.Yorth AmeriCan. A DUEL PREVENTED.—It is reported that a quarrel took place on Thursday week, dur ing a ball at Pottsville, between Col. Wether ill and Adolphus Moore, which led to arrange ments being made by their seconds, Mr. Eli Bowen and Dr. Hagar, for a hostile meeting. The principals and seconds left Pottsville next morning, and doubtless intended to have the duel in the vicinity of Schuylkill Ha ven, as they were in the act of leaving the care at that place, when they were arrested by officer Christ, of Pottsville, who followed them. The whole'party returned, in his cus tody to Pottsville, where they were required to give bail to keep the peace. 'BTAR KILLED.-A bear was killed at Indian Gap, in Lebanon county, last week, by a fath er and son, and in the operation of killing, the son ran a narrow risk of getting a tighter squeeze than might have been good for his health. ft seems that the father and son were out gunning for deer, when'the son came upon the bear, being in close proximity to the customer before he was aware of his danger. On seeing the bear, he immediately raised his rifle and fired, but the shot not being a fatal one the bear made for him, and he retreated towards his father. The race was a tight one, and the father being attracted by the noise, came in sight just in time to see the bear al most upon the young man. With considera bledanger to the latter, he fired and was fortunate enough to give old bruin a fatal shot. The animal weighed 425 pounds. He would furnish a small family with winter meat. ANOTHER, MOVE OF THE MAINE-JACS!-It ap pears that Neal Dow's Maine Law is not yet stringent enough to suit the notions of the ultra fanatics who would enforce the liquor prohibition at every hazard. It is stated that a Mr. Robinson, a member of the Vermont, Leg islature has introduced a bill into that body in connection with preventing the liquor traffic, providing that the third offence of selling in toxicating drinks be punishable with death ! Wonder what next we shall have in this line, from our liberal New England brethren ? Perhaps they will try to prohibit the raising of grapes, barley, hope, and all substances from which liquors are made, by condemning those who offend to be burnt at the stake. T ILE WEBSTER ESTATE.—The executors of the estate of Daniel Webster have sent print ed circulars to persons having claims against the same, in which it is stated, that the net amount of assets in their hands'is $35,180 89, and the amount of claims is about $155,000. The executors are now making a distribution among the creditors. They divide twenty-one and three-quarters per centum, retaining in hand about one per centum to defray expen ses and charges in the suit against the city of New Orleans for a claiin of $25,000 for coun sel fees in the Gaines controversy. • Know Nothing Convention A convention of delegates . fiom the States whose American Councils bolted the National platform adopted at Philadelphia, was in ses sion at Cincinnati last week. Delegates were present from eight of the sixteen free States. A report was adopted declaring the repeal of the Missouri compromise aninfraction of plight ed faith; that the compromise should be re stored, or if that fail, then no more slave States should be admitted north of the line of 36 de grees 30 minutes. The report also protests against coalescing with any pexy that de mends the abandonment of American-princi ples. Perdorcof Gov. POlhMli hailegendid his eliiueii4 to Dr. Beale, of Philadelphia, and remitted the remainder of his sentence of imprisonment, which was four years and six months, begin ning on the 28th of November, 1854. He has served, therefore, about one year of .his term. The pardon states the reasons which induced the Governor to extend this favor. He had received communications • from about one hundred and forty dentists and twenty-three physicians, of this city and the county, stating their belief that testimony as to matters transpiring under the influence of ether is unsafe and unreliable ; from a num ber of other physicians named, that they be lieve him innocent from a large number of the bar, and citizens of various States, including the names of Governors, Attorneys General, &c., that they believe be was convicted un in sufficient testimony ; from a number of clergy men, that they believe him innocent ; from the Mayor of Philadelphia, and fifty members of the Philadelphia City Councils ; from mem ' hers of the Legislature, Judges of the Supreme Court, editors of Philadelphia newspapers, and five thousand other citizens of Pennsylva- ' nia and New York, with five of the jury on the trial, all asking for his pardon. After enumerating all these facts, the Governor says:-- And whereas, the Board of Inspectors of the said Philadelphia County Prison, (as ap pears by their communications on file in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth,) have unanimously recommended the pardon of the said Dr. Stephen T. Beale, because, in their opinion, the end contemplated by the law in the moral reform of the prisoner has been attained—because full and ample satis faction has been rendered to public sentiment by the imprisonment he has already under gone—because his health is undoubtedly breaking down under the sufferings of body and mind which lie already endured, and be cause the destitute condition of his aged pa rents and bereaved and sorrowing wife and children imperatively demand the presence and support of their son, husband and father. And Whereas, after a full and careful ex amination of the facts and evidence in the case, aided by the scientific discussions to which it has given rise, (without any inten tion to reflect upon the prosecutrix, who no doubt testified to what she believed did occur —nor to impugn the integrity. .of the learned Judge who tried the case, nor the honesty of the jury who convicted the prisoner,) I ant now satisfied that the defendant, Dr. Stephen T. Beale, is not guilty of the crime whereof he stands charged, and was convicted upon evi dence unreliable in its character and insuffi cient in amount. I do, therefore, in consideration of the premises, pard on Dr. Stephen T. Beale of the crime whereof he is convicted as afore said, and he is hereby fully pardoned accord ingly.—Ledger. Aexn•et. 01 TILL CANADA.—By the arrival of the steamship Canada, we learn that the excitement in England, in relation to tray with the United States, had abated. There is nothing now trom the seat of war, except unreliable rumors of battles near Pere kop and Simpheropol. and the o mh: of Nicolala'. Peace rumors are tunnerei]i, but unreliable. ] Strenuous efforts have been made to bring Sweden into the alliance. , Unfriendly relations are arising between England and Spain. WHEAT COMING FROM INDI.I.—The present high price of grain in Europe has given ris to a trade, the existence of which, we dare say, is little suspected by the great majority of our readers, namely, the export of wheat from India to England. We learn from suc cessive numbers of a Calcutta mercantile pub lication, that the quantity of wheat shipped from that port for Great Britain during the month ending the 7th of September, was no less than 127,884 maunds, or 22,654 quarters, at the rate of GO lbs. to the bushel ; and w understand that, at the date of the latest ac counts, shipments are• still going on with con siderable activity, and at rates which prom is a handsome profit to the exporters. This is a very striking instance of the way in which high prices attract grain from quar4 ters where nobody supposed it could be found) in any quantity ; and if the present prices in England should continue, we shall most likely hear of imports from other countries from whence they are just as little expected as they were a few months ago from Bengal.—Man, choler (Eng.) Guardian. THE WAR OF 1812—NATIONAL CONVENTION 4 —The defenders of the country in the war of 1812, who met last January in the city of Washington, are requested to assemble there again on the approaching anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, pursuant to the resolu tion adopted at their last session, to which time and place the Convention adjourned. 4 As many of the Delegates have gone to theii last account, since the adjournment, it is rec ommended that additional Delegates be rhos en. Many important propositions will be pre r sented to the consideration of the Convention. Meetings should be held forthwith in the sev eral States, to make the necessary arrange ments. A full attendance of delegates is very desirable. J. B. SUTHERLAND, President of Convention, elected 1855. FOR TUE INTELLIGENCER Mr. Editor :—I attended the Anniversary of the Young Men's Christian Association of this City, hel in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, on the eve ning of the 15th inst., and was highly gratified a the undoubted evidence of interest manifested id the proceedings by the large crowd of people of both sexes in attendance. This is as it should be, and ar goes well for the success of the enterprise in thiii community. The reading room established by the association is a commendable feature in its working and it is to be hoped the young men and boys of this city will avail themselves of its advantages, by spend ing their evenings there in the acquirement of use l r ful knowledge, instead of congregating about the street corners to the great annoyance of quiet and respectable citizens. I was doubly gratified at the remarks of one of the speakers, in reference to this point ; btit have since learned that there is an establishment located in this city, with which that gentleman is connected where the Apprentices—some 18 or 20 in number- 7 are required to work until near 10 o'clock each evet ning, under penalty of dismissal. If this be so, then these young men or boys are necessarily excluded from the enjoyment of the privileges appertaining to the reading room in question; and have no possible opportunity of improving their minds or their morf ale, except upon Sundays,, when, perhaps, the err boasting labors of the week—each day from 7 in the morning until 10 at night—totally unfit them for mental or religions improvement. The precepts of the speaker are, therefore, not carried out in practic4 so far as his influence extends, and it might be well enough at the next Anniversary meeting of the As sedation, for that gentleman to state the fact that there is a class of young men virtually excluded from the privileges of the reading room, by the task masters who are set over them.
