progress in civilization and the arts, and a line of

time, improve the moral and physical condition of
the less advanced bands.
A story started by a correspondent of the Phila
delphia inquirer, that the President's health is ve
ry bad—that, in fact, the Chief Magistrate "looks
like a ghost, "=is going the rounds. The story is
incorrect. The President's health is good and there
is nothing at all ghostly in his appearance. die

Senator Bigler, of Pennsylvania, arrived here

Sr. Louis, Jan. 21, 1856.
I scarcely know how to commence this letter, as
there is so little to write about . ' The weather has
been quite changeable in the past fortnight—one
day cold and freezing and the next mild and thaw
ing. Xtie river still continues obstructed by ice
above and below, and heavy teams are .daily creas
ing opposite the city. Several enterprising individ
uals have erected tents on the ice and opened shop
ou their "own heuk,"und retail old "red-eye," pop
corn, apples and cakes to the hundreds-of skaters
and to rtiose cressmg and re-creasing for the novelty
of the thing. The ice has become quite a promenade,
and men, women and children seem to euyoy it very
Much. This promenade is called Mississippi Ave
nue," and the fashimiables and notables make it a
point to display the latest Paris styles" on this
avenue. It is now the only real enjoyment the den
liens of St. Louis have.
A monument Some sixteen feet in height, and
about six iii width at the base, has been erected out
of large slabs of ice in the middle of the river, in
memory of De Soto, the first discoverer of the Missis
sippi and who fins buried in the "Father of Waters.' '
Censiderable time and labor has been expended on
this monument—the inscriptions and design are ap
propriate—the work well and tastefully executed,
and the whole worthy the man and those engaged in
its erection.

There is nothing of a local interest to report. Bus- I
Mess in every department is extremely dull. Our
merchants are settling up their affairs of the past
year and making great preparations for a heavy
spring trade. Tne river below Cairo is open, and
boats aro running between that point and New Or
leans—a portion of their freight is brought to this
city by railroad, but the greater proportion is being
stored at Cairo until the opening of navigation; the
prospects at. present, however, aro not very flatter
ing fur a speedy resumption of business.
The Mayor has entered complaint against Mr.
Lingo, Superintendent of the Workhouse, in nine
teen separate charges—over-charging the city for
clothing supplied to prisoners; over-charging for
horse-feed—(s3ooo for keeping 27 horses six months)
—for not attending to his duties, &c., &c., &c., and
appointed in his stead Mr. Byson; but Lingo declined
leaving' the premises, and refused to hand over the
necessary documents. The case is to go before the
City Council at the next meeting. Lingo was elect
ed on the same ticket with Mayor King by the Know-
Nothings' last April. The people of this country
will soon find out that the Know-Nothings when
onoe in power will lose no opportunity in helping
themselves to the spoils. Look at every city in the
Unidn, where the K. Ns. have the power, and you
will find that nine out of every ten urn either bank
rapt or fast becoming so—all that is needed to con
summate the work is time, give them that and every
mother's son will be stared in the face with bank
ruptcy ! There is no estimating the result were a
Know-Nothing elevated to the Presidency of this
country—the Treasury wouldi"bleed" as it never
bled before, and no man who ever gave his vote to
such a party, would ever, after a few years' experi
ence, forgive himself for the act. "Americans shall
rule America," and accordiag to past events of
Know-Nothing rule, "Americans shall rule and ru
in America." This is Know-Nothing doctrine, and
this the people of this Union must expect from every
K. N. administration, be it municipal, State or Na
tional. Lot every man weigh well his vote before
he deposits it against the advocates of Democratic
and well tried measures.
It did me much good to perceive at the head of
your columns the name of lion. JAMES BUCHANAN as
a candidate for the next Democratic standard bearer
of the National Democracy. The Intellig,encerhaa al
ways been a staunch advocate of Democratic men and
measures, and has done as much good, and perhaps
more service for the Democratic party of Pennsylva
nia, than any other paper iu the State. It is true,
yuu have an overwhelming opposition • majority
against you in the county, but you are up and at the
enemies of Democracy year in and year out, and
maintain a firm and steady increase in the Demo
cratic vote. The Democracy of Pennsylvania, and
Lancaster county in particular, owe much to tho In
telligencer for the many brilliant victories they have
achieved—and there is a power attached to it, from
the fact that it is published in the city from which
will probably come the next President of the United
States—that man is JAMES BUCHANAN, and one
better qualified for the times and the place could not
be named.
Tho prospects fur a glorious victory to the Democ
racy iu November next, is now very promising, but
this fact should not prevent a sigorous,and early
action on the part of the members of the great Dem
ocratic party, who glories in its victories and de
plores its defeats—who clings alike to the good old
ship whether in storm or in calm—who still not sur
render those principles they have so long cherished
and bottled for in the political field—who, though at
one time defeated, will draw their sword fur anothe
conflict aid fight for principles and right, and the
right m , tut and izcd/ eventually triumph. I say.
the conquest is not loon until the battle is fought,
and it is not in the power of man to tell what n um
bers will be arrayed against the Democracy in No
vember next. so that in time of peace prepare for war.
It is the duty of every Democrat to commence his
work at once, and not wiat until the eleventh hour,
for that might prove too late. Vi ith James Buchan
an as our standard bearer we have no fears in en
tering the campaign, and his nomination would be
bailed in the South and IVest with one unanimous
voice ox approbation.
As the ‘1 big, know Nothing, Abolition and all the
factions will, in all probability, unite upon one mats
arse: net the Denwen,ey—there is no telling what
they might do; it is therefore necessary that the
Democratic National touvention bring forth the
best qualified, most available and strongest man of
the party—let all past differences be forgotten, and
rally around the choice of the Convention as one
man and for one-and the same cause—THE TIIIIIIP/1
OF DEMOCRACY. Mr. BrCHAtAN is that man, and
unless 'he be the nominee I tell you now, there is
danger ahead ; and .1 do hope, for the sake of the
Democratic party and its cherished principles, that
the Delegates to the National Convention will so de
termine and put him before the people as a candidate
for the Presidency. It is duo to Pennsylvania as
well as Mr. Buchanan. The "Old Keystone of the
Arch" has nearly always been found in the Demo
cratic column, and if the reader will [alto the trouble
to look back, he will find that as went Pennsylvania
so went the Union—l believe there is:not an excep
tion on record. She has always been true and firm,
and it is but justice to her citizens that she have
once a candidate for the highest office in the gift of
the people, and when, too, she can, present such a
tower of strength as James Buchanan.
The Bank of the State of Missouri has just declared
a dividend of eight and one-quarter per cont. on the
business for the last six months, after setting aside
one per cent. as a contingent fund. iVe doubt wheth
er any bank in the Union has been able to declare
such dividends, of late years, as the Bank of Missou
ri.
All is quiet in Kansas, rumors to the contrary not.

Political Correspoildence
We see published.a couple of letters that
have passed between Col. S. C. Stambaugh
and Major Jno. P. lleiss,klate of the N. Orleans
Delta, in reference to an article which recent
ly appeared in that paper, evincing a bitter
hostility to Mr. Buchanan us a candidate fur the
Presidency. Mr. Heiss explains it thus :
The article of which you complain, speaking
dispargingly of Mr. Buchanan, was published
without my knowledge or consent. It
appeared some days after I had retired from
all connection with the paper, yet my name
continued at the head of its columns—the new
proprietors not deeming it expedient, for rea
sons best known to themselves, to announce
the change, although they had in their posses
sion my written withdrawal. I was much
annoyed and displeased when I saw it ; but,
as I supposed the sale of my interest in the
paper was soon to be formally apnounced, I
did not think it necessary to disavow it, except
by private letters to some of Mr. Buchdnan's
most intimate friends. I now regret that I
had not done so publicly
My connection with . the paper ceased on
9th ult., and the article in question, I think,
appeared on the 15th. On the 10th, the cessa
tion of my interest, from the date of notarial
act, was published in the Delta, and my name
withdrawn as proprietor. Messrs. Jenkins &
Segur were declared to be the purchasers. I
left New Orleans on the 17u1t., before th
change wavinnounced.
The Keystone has committed an egregious
error in calling the Delta "the organ of the
Democracy of Louisiana," for although, as you
well know, I have ever been a consistent Dem
ocrat, the Delta, while under my control, was
conducted as a neutral paper. As to the
statement made in the article of the Delta , of
which you justly complain, that Mr. Buchan
an intended to return by way of Louisiana,
I have the authority of an intimate friend of
Mr. Buchanan—a citizen of that State, who has
long been in regular correspondence with him
that he has never intimated the slightest in
tention of so doing.
STATE MILITARY CovNE:crios.—The State
Military Convention, which has been, for some
time past, announced as in contemplation,
assembled in this place on Monday last in the
Supreme Court room. We observed several
remarkably fine Military gentlemen ou the
street, some in uniform and othersin plain
dress, and learn that quite a large number
were present at the different sittings of the
convention. Gen. GEORGE CADWALADER, of
Philadelphia, was chosen President. Resolu
tions were adopted, and a committee appointed
to draft a bill for regulating the military
system of the State. This bill will no doubt
be urged upon the early attention of the
Legislature ; and if it is a proper one we hope
to see it pass, as our present military system
is about as miserable a one as oould be devised.

The Moral of the Senatorial Election.
The West Chester Republican has the fol
lowing apposite remarks relative to the elec
tion of Gov. BIGLER to the U. S. Senate:
The election of Gov. Bigler in many re
spects must be highly gratifying to the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania. We propose
to examine briefly the moral of this election.
At the 'State election in 1854 a whirlwind of
political excitement swept over this Common
wealth, which not only prostrated the nomi
nee of the Democracy for the Gubernatorial
Chair of the State, but also sent a body of
legislators to Harrisburg - largely opposed to
our time-honored organization. Like the
present representation in the lower House at
Washington, they had every thing in their
two hands, and yet there seemed to be an over
ruling power that thwarted every design they
attempted to execute. This very Senatorship
was :bitually in their grasp, and yet, 'after
weary days of balloting, they were forced tu
retire t, theii homes leaving the important
post vacant. Of such incongruous materials
was that legislature composed, that they ut
terly falkid in, uniting upon any individual
that thee ...add elect to the United States Sen
ate. 80. it not a little singular that the
very mat, whom they had so overwhelmingly
defeated dd. Governor, this same William Big
ler, over wimse d4stnfall they shouted pmans
of triumph, should now fill the vacancy they
left behind them in their inglorious flight from
the Capitol of the State? It strikes us as a
marvelous instance of speedy retributive jus—
tice. would seen, as if a hand more than
!lonian, wits in all thi- complexity of political
circles, directing the right and confusing and
the wrong.
Wa..GEoRGE SCOTT, E , q., Of Columbia coun
ty, is strongly urged by the Easton Aryus,
Easton &nand, and several other Dernomat

Commissioner. Mr. S. is known as a sound
and reliable Democrat, and every way quali
fied fur an honest and enlightened discharge
of the duties appertaining to the station.

Me. Emion.—On Saturday evening last, the Earl Union

The meeting wasopened with a pathetic prayer by tier.

address by IV. :ieeger Darrow. This gentleman delivered
a highly Interesting, logical and convincing speech. lle
gave, in the opening part of his remarks, a brief arid glow
ing description of the history and transactions of the Ly
ceum. 11 then spoke of the bonefit of Lyceums he did
full justice to his subject, and concluded with an eloquent
appeal to :he members. Mr. Darrow's delivery is ear dent
—clear. audible and forcible. On the whole, his address
gaveevidonce of profound thought and surpassing Orator-
CAI abilities. Mr. D. is a teacher in this district; and, al
though quite a young man, is one of the most talented
and successful Teachers in the comity.
Next in order was an essay read by Miss Lydia Weaver.
The subject was not given in a tone sufficiently loud to be
distinctly heard. The ideas and language, contained in
this essay, were good.
An iindress was then read by MP. E. G, liroff—on the
Power of Habit. This address embodied mush good
thought and sound judgment.
Mr, Israel M. Groff delivered the Valedictory Address.—

LANCASTER COUNTY PRIS • N
REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS,
- -
To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Lancß;ter county.
IN pursuance of law the undersigned
submit to your Honorable Cowl, the follow lug Re
port of the Prison.
The Act of February, 1850,yelative to the Lancaster
County prison, requires the Inspectors to make s Report
on or before the Monday of the first term of the Court
Of Quarter Sessions In every year to the said Court.
The time intervening between the 31st of December,
and the third Monday in January was found by the ex
perience of three years to be entirely Inadequate to the
performance of the duties incident to the preparation of
the numerous Tables and Statements accompanying
their Report, in addition to the ordinary duties of the
officer., which in their nature leave but little of their
time unoccupied.
This has rendered necessary the changing the time of
terminating the fiscal yeas as well as the prison year,
which was accordingly done by a resolution of the
Board, adopted the oth day of March, 1855 ' fixing the
time of closing the year on the 80th - day of November,
instead of the 31st day of December, as heretofore.
The Tables and Statements accompanying this Report
therefore embraces a period of but eleven months, com
mencing on the Ist of January, and ending on the 30th
of November, 1855.
On the 3lst December, '64, there were in confinement, 65
Prisoners ; in the course of 11 months there was
received, 549
Making the aggregate of the inmates of the Prison,'6s, 634
Of these the following were discharged during the year:
By expiration of sentence, 911
Magistrates, District Attorney, Court and Ha
beas Corpus, 219-630
Leaving in confinement, November 30, 1355, 44 104
Of these (104) 63 ard convicts, 4 committed for fine
and costs, 6 awaiting trial, and 41 vagrants. Of the 619
received daring the year, 05 were convicted.
Much interesting information relating to the Prison,
during the period embraced in this Report, is furnished
in detail by the Tables he eto annexed.
The number committed to the Prison during the elev
en trinnths,excepting the 65 sentenced, was 464--,:rf which
230 were for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and
35 for vagrancy, as per Table No. 1.
In addition to the 404 there were sentenced during the
same period 65, and remaining in Prison on the 31st of
December, 1854, 85—making the above total in Prison,
during the 11 months of 1855, 634, as per Table No. 2.
Table No. 3 shows how the 530 discharged prisoners
were disposed of-3 being sent to the House of Refuge,
2 to the Lancaster county Hospital, 1 to the Insane Asy
lum at Harrisburg, and 2 hung themselves, none Laving
,been pardoneddmtloakbrternor.
Table No. 4 will shbW the various charges upon which
the 65 convicts were sentenced; there were 33 fur Larce
ny, against 37 the previous year, the residue were for
offences of no great atrocity. This Table exhibits the
gratifying facts not only of a proportional decrease of
convictions during the period but also of a lower grade
of crime than those of the previous year.
Table No. 5 their term of sentence with color and sex
of each—being 12 colored and 53 white; a leer propor
tion of colored than the previous period; among the con
victs there were two white female,.
81,00
1,50
200
5 5.00
10,00
20.00
Table No. 6, the nativity, color and sex, of each of
the 65 convicts; but 24 were born in Lancaster city and
county, and 20 in foreign countries.
Table No. 7, their ages. showing 35 of the 65 to bare
been under the age of .30 years.
Table No. S, how often tliey'.have been convicted.
,Table No. 9, shows the occupations of the convicts
prior to their conviction-35 of the 65 having had no
trades.
Table No. 10, shows the number' that con read and
write,-23 of the 65 could not read and 30 could not
write; a somewhat larger proportion than the previous
year.
Table No. 11, shows how many are unmarried-40 of
the 65 beteg unmarried.
Table No. 12, shows the occupation' while in con
finement.
Table No. 13, the number of Medical cases treated.
Table No. 14, shows the habits of the convicts-37 of
the 65 being of intemperate habits, and 12 moderate
drinkers.
It appears, by table No. 15, that the whole number of
prisoners received since the opening of the prison, Sept.
12th, 1851, to the 30th of Nov., 18.55, is 1°40; 1513 white
males, 155 white females, 207 colored males and 35 col
ored females.
The health of the prisoners, considering the large
proportion who were of intemperate habits, has been
unusually good. The number of cases treated was 100,
being in the ratio of 100 cases treated to every 598 pris
oilers, the ratio of the previous year 100 cases treats 1 to
every 520 prisoners, thus exhibiting a decided improve
ment in the health of the prisoners. Only 1 prisoner
died during the 11 months. There were no cases of in.
sanity developed during that period. For details on
this subject, see Table No. 14.
There were committed during the past 11 months, 35
persons for vagrancy, and 236 for drunkenness and dis
orderly condlicti an increaae of vagrancy of 6, and of
drunkenness and . disofderly -ctinduct'of 25. This in
crease is no greater, proportionably, than the increase
o. the whole somber of inmates of the prison.
The undersigned deem it unnecessary to say more
than to reiterate the opinion, expressed in the previous
Annual Reports of their predecessors, in reference to the
superiority of the system of separate and solitary con
finement at labor. But to realize the full benefits of
that system, it is indispensable that the accommodations
of the prison should he ample. That this is not the case
at present is apparent from the fact that, on the 30th of
November last, there was 104 inmates and but 80 cells
in the prison for their accommodation, which renders
the placing of the prisoners together, In many of the
cells unavoidable, thus frustrating the design and losing
the beneficial fruits of the system.
To remedy this inconvenience and make it practicable
to carry out the system fully and effectually, the erec
tion of another wing will be required. the expediency
of which is recommended by the Board.
The accompanying statements marked by the letters
of the Alphabet, relate to the Financial • affairs and
manufacturing operations of the Prison, daring the 11
months ending November 30th, last, and contain mush
interesting information touching these subject
Statement A. shows that the orders issued by the In•
spectors on the Treasurer of the Lancaster county Pris
on, from January Ist, 1855, to November 30th,1686, both
days inclusive, amounted to $19;063 66
From which deduct extraordinary expenses,
to wit
Alterations and Repairs
Building Account.
J. BOWMAN, Protley.

As the above amount was expended
daring the year for raw materials,
manufacturing, maintenance of
prisoners, officers' salaries, cur
rent expenses, Etc., it becomes ne
cessary in order to ascertain the
actual cost to the county, to do
dact the following cash received,
and assets of the manufacturing a
department, to wit: Cash receiv
ed by the Keeper for goods sold,
and by him paid to the Treasurer
Of Lancaster co. prison, $9,697 03
Mannfact'd goods on hand, 4,837 40
Raw materials, 1,934 62
Due Prison for goods sot, , 9,620 94 $20,090 01
Less the following items, to wit :
Due by Prison for raw ma
terials, - $4,20137
Maaufact'd goods on hand, 2,910 69
Raw materials on hand, 1,999 6$ 9.109 64 10,980 37
Actual cost of the Prison fur 11 months
By reference to Statement 0. it will be seen that th e
number of prisoners maintained the last year was 30,693
days, 10,6/9 days of which at 17 cents a day, and 20,019
days at 20 cents a day, amounted to $5,819 23-1120
whereas the number maintained the previoue.year was
but 27,341 days at 17 cents a day, amounted to but $4,-
606 09—being an increase in maintenance the past eleven
months, over the preceding year of $1,213 14.
The continuing enhancement in the prices of bread
staffs and provisions during the last spring, imperative
ly required a further increase of 3 cents a day to the
Keeper for boarding prisoners. The increase was al
lowed from the first of May last. This advance was
made with a distinct understanding and agreement with
the Keeper to submit to a reduction, as soon as the re
duced price of the articles required for food would justify
it, which has not yet taken place, as it is net intended
that he shall make any profit by boarding the prisoners,
but that he should be simply compensated for the out
lay actually made by him for that purpose. The aver
age cost of the prison to the county during the eleven
months embraced in this Report, per month, was
672 43-100 dollars. That of the preceding year 611 61-100
dollars—which considering the advance for maintenance
and the average increase in the number of inmates is
favorable to the economy of the management and the
profitableness of the manufacturing of the prison.
Statements U. V. W. show the progress made in man
ufacturing in the prison during the period. It appears
by these statements that there were made 32,547i4 yards
of Carpet, against 26,177 yards the preceding year;
6,927„ 1 / 4 i yards of Bagging; 209 dozen Bags; 262 pair of
Boots and Shoes; 610,452 Segara ; 1,079 lbs. Goats Hair
spun; 150 Fish Bets; 40 Willow Baskets, (this is a new
branch of manufacture introduced into the prison,) and
other work, as per Statement W.
These etatemente show an increase of $1237 65 in
the manufacturing operations of the prison, for the 11
months, over those of the preceding year.
Another feature of this department of the prison
worthy of notice, is that it affords a market to a number
of persons for the sale of carpet rags. By statement C.
it appears that 22574 lbs. of carpet rags were purchased
at the prison, for which the sum of $1532 49 was paid.
The Board still adhere to the policy of promoting the
reformation of the convict, by keeping him constantly
employed, and thus begetting in him habits of industry
and regularity, in furtherance of which they permit no
convict to be idle, although the labor he may be capable
of performing, may not be a source of much profit • o the
prison. An its products (which will compare favorably
in quality with any la the market) are sold at barely re
munerating prices, thus affording such articles at a
comparatively low rate to purchasers, who are chiefly
composed of the tax-payers, and in this way compensate
them in a measure, by the low price at which they are
here able to purchase the articles, for the burden which
ultimately rests on them of supporting the prison.
Since the last Annual Report, the Board have erected
a Convenient and commodious Warehouse in the 7.1 . 16011
yard adjoining the office. This was required by the ne
oessities of the lucre sad business of buying and selling
1 of the various articlee demanded and produced by the
manufacturing department of the prison, and especially
for storing ths fabrics made, and exposing them to public
inspection. The building has just been finished, and all
the manufactured articles have been deposited and ar
ranged therein, with a view to public examination and
sale. This has relieved other portions of the prison
from being encumbered with those articles, and permits
these portions to be need for the purposes for which they
were originally intended.
By reference to statement 2, exhibiting the gain and
loss of the manufacturing department, lt appears that
the profited the labor of the prisoners, for the 11 months,
was $3063,32, and by statement A. it appears that the
maintenance department, for 11 months, cost $6,665 04
And current expenses, 4-c., 3,610 69
Total,
10,475 73
From which deduct the above profits,
3,065 32
Actual cost of the prison for 11 months, $7,410 41
The Board take this occasion to bear testimony to .the
ab lily and fidelity with which Henry C. Locher, Esq.,
Keeper, and all the officers connected with the prison,
have discharged their respective duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

PERMANENT RECORD FOR COMMON
COMMON SCROOLS.—The "Perme:mot Record" of
the attendance, condition, and progress of the Common
Schools of the State of Penna. is now ready for delivery to
those who have for some time, been waiting its announce
ment.
This book is not attempted to be bolstered up by the pa
rade of a string of tlat, unmeaning, complimentary notices
given out of a.spirit of courtesy (for a gratis copy.) It is
not a big book, overloaded - with senseless unnecessary de
tail: it does not record the name and the number of
times a child is whipped in school (disgraceful:) it is not
tilled with hieroglyphic stuff, about as easily understood as
that on an Egyptian monument. In a word it was not pre
pared by A. Row. But It is a clear simpleconformity to the
requirements of the Common School law;; free from errors
and blunders of all kinds, showing at a glance, (so that all
can understand it) the name and age of the Pupil. "Books
used.' Branches taught," `• attendance," "Progress and con
duct - iof each Schuler, besides the "general remarks"of the
teacher, Ac. In a word, it is just TIIE BOOK for the Com
mon Schools of our State, for which it was expressly made,
and the very best evidence of the fact is, that the hook has
been adopted by every Board of Directors before whom it
has been laid. Manor township (and a number-of others)
did not give it a cheap complimentary notice but spoke in
the following manner:
Resolved, That one copy of the "Permanent Shoot Re
cord" published by W. 11. Spangler, be placed in each of
the Twentyone Schools of oar District.
Signed,, ABM. BAUS3IAS, Pres't.
Jacou SEITZ, SCC:j".
It was not taken. (mind the fact) for SIX out of the 21,
or 40 odd Schools, which was the case when our City Board
adopted a certain Book, but for the 21 Schools of the dis
trict.
Price of the work, $4,50.
A reasonable reduction made to Boards of Directors. or
teachers forming themselves into clubs of 5 or more.

ed, History of the Reign of Philip 11. By William 11.
Prescott. With Portraits, Maps, Plates, Ss. 2 vols. Octavo.
Tffe reign of YhUip the Second. embracing the lest half
of the sixteenth century, is . one of the most important as
well as interesting portions of our modern history. It is
necessary to glance only at some of the principal events.—
The War of the Netherlands—the model, so to say, of our
own glorious war of the Revolution; the siege of Malta, and
its memorable defense by the Knights of St. John; the
brilliant career of Don John of Austria, the hero of Lepan
to; the Quixotic adventures of Don Sebastian of Portugal;
the conquest of that by the Duke of Alba; Philip's union
with . yof England, and his want with Elizabeth, with
the story of the invincible Armada; the Inquisition, with
its train of woes; the rebellion of the Morlscos, and the cruel
manner in which it was avenged—these form some of the
prominent topics in the foreground of the picture, which
presents a crowd of subordinate details of great interest in
regard to the character and court of Philip and the institu
tions of Spain,tkintOt tho4.44pY•4ol4Ther.prosperity, ,
The materials" for 'this vast theme wore to be gathered
from every part of Europe; and the author has for many
years been collecting them from the archives of different
capitals. The archives of Simaucas, in particular, until very
lately closed against even the native historian, has been
opened to his researches; and his collections has been fur
ther enriched by MSS. from some of the principal houses
in Spain, the descendants of the great men of the sixteenth
century. Such a colleltion of original documents has never
before been made for the illustration of this period.

COMMON SCHOOL REGISTER .— The un
dersigned have published, at considerable expense,
the above work prepared by Mr. AIMS lieu, one of the
most experienced teachers in the State; and now offer it
with great confidence to Directors and Teachers, and espe
cially to those of Lancaster county.
It has been endorsed by the following gentlemen, compe
tent to form a correct opinion of the merits of such a work:
Henry L. Diffebach, County Sup't of Clinton county.
J. P. Wickersham, " " Lanc'r
J. Fell, " " Bucks .‘
J. F. Stoddard, Principal of the Lancaster County Normal
School.
William G. Waring, Esq., of Centre county.

Wm. V. Davis, Principal of Male High School, Lancaster
city. _ .
It. A. Futbey, Esq., County Sup't. of Chester county.
Daniel Shelly, Esq.. " Cumberland county.
It has been adopted by the School Directors of the city of
Lancaster.
The Department of Common Schools at Harrisburg has
also approved of it In the folllowing favorable terms :
"Smoot ItEonermi..—A permanent School Register is con
ducive to the proper organization and government of the
Common Schools. The Register recently prepared by Mr.
Amos Row, of Lancaster. is found, upon inspection, to har
monize substantially with the requirements of the 27th
section of the School.LawaGlBs4,And.the.views of thaDe- ,
pertinent. Directonsarmadvised to intrceince each a record
into the Schools as soon as practicable."
As an act of justice to the author and publisher, Direct
ors and Teachers are respectfully requested to examine the
'•Common School Registee" before adopting any other. This
request is rendered necessary by the fact, that one of a
smaller size, and much more limited contents, has since
been hurriedly got up. to interfere with It. Of course the
publishers of the Common School Register, do not deny the
right of any to prepare and publish a Register on an ori
ginal plan, or one differing from theirr, but as the ono allu
ded to. embraces little, if anything, more than the monthly , .
reports, faMished by the State Department, at Harrisburg,
to the District; they do not fear the result of a close and
fair comparison, but on the contrary challenge such a test.
