False prophets have lived in all countries and in all ages of the world, says the Mary land Union, but we doubt exceedingly whether they ever were so numerous, or so fruitful in false promises in any former period of the world's history, as they have been within the last sixty years in the United States. Al though the government for the last fifty years has been almost entirely under the exclusive control of the Democratic party, and although no country that the sun ever shone upon has increased in strength and dimensions equal to this, or has been as happy and pros perous, at no time, within that period, have the false prophets failed to declare that the country was ruined, and the Democratic party was about to be dissolved 1 These declarations, so often repeated, are quite familiar to the people's ears, rid receive but little attention, while those who make them are no longer regarded as worthy of belief. The country is not ruined, neither is the Democratic party dissolved. When the latter event takes place, then the former will most assuredly follow. The perpetuity and prosperi ty of the one depends upon the other. Unless the people are struck with judicial blindness, neither the one nor the other of these sad disastere'can ever occur. The Democratic party have not ruined the eountry. They have made it what it now is— great, grand, glorious, happy, free, magnifi cent in the eyes of the world. Under its cue pica Lousiana was acquired—Texas was an nexed—California, with her golden treasure, was added—every sea has been made to bear upon its bosom the " stars and stripes," and every patriot's heart has been filled with joy at its greatness, its wealth and its power. Railroads and canals cover its face like net work, and commerce and the arts and sciences nourish to an unprecedented extent. The original thirteen infant States nave been con verted into thirty two gigantic sovereign independencies under the Constitution of the Federal Government, and excite the pride and admiration of a patriotic world. The Democratic party is not dissolved, the false assertions of the Opposition to the con trary notwithstanding. For sixty years that ancient and honorable party has had its trials and its triumphs, but it has safely outridden every opposition storm, and has conducted the Ship of State in safety through all the threat ened dangers. No seeds of decay are im planted in its system—no signs of dissolution are visible, and none can be, for it is composed of that indestructible material which never dies, nor never decays. The Democratic party has outlived every opposing party that ever rose up in this coun try, and it is destined to outlive all the base factions and coalitions that may be formed against it hereafter. It is the only political party that is now worthy of the confidence and the respect of the people, and it is the only party that is calculated to develops the true greatness and glory of the country. REPUBLICAN CREED • If there is at.y creed held sacred by the Black Republican party, it is the doctrine of the equality of the negro with the white race. In proof of thiS we need only inform our readers that the House of Representatives in Connecticut, by a vote of one hundred and twelve to ninety four, has passed a bill to amend the Constitution of that State so as to allow negroes to vote. Every Black Repub Loan voted for it and every Democrat against it. An amendment was proposed by the same committee so that'it should be required by the State Constitution, that foreigners shMild remain in the State twenty one years before being allowed to vote. Under the operation of such a law, the most filthy, ragged, or ignorant fugitive slave will be allowed to vote atonce, while the foreigner, no adds how intelligent, must wait his twenty one years. The white foreigner is disfranchised while the negro is caressed and allowed to become a citizen at once. The same thing has been done in Massachusetts and other New England States. A similar amendment has been proposed to the Constitution of Ohio. It it useless for Black Republican prints to deny this as being one of the fundamental doctrines of their party. It is in fact the only principle upon which they are united, and. which holds them together as a party. THE ATLANTIC CABLE. We have reliable news direct, from the Atlantic telegraph fleet. Capt. Cummings, of the ship Alice Munroe, which arrived off Boston on Friday, from Liverpool, reports falling in with the steamers Niagara and Gorgon on the 27th ult., in latitude 52.05 north, longitude 33.15 west. Mr. Cyrus W. Field an officer of the Niagara boarded the Alice Munroe, and stated that the squadron had experienced very bad weather from the time of its leaving port, and were sixteen days in reaching their destination in mid ocean. Two unsuccessful attempts had been made to lay the cable. The second attempt was made on the £6th ult. They had layed out upwards, of forty miles of cable, and were going along finely, when, at 12.55 on the 27th, the electric communication suddenly ceased. The Niagara and Gorgon then returned to the starting point and were awaiting the arrival of the Agamem- non and Valorous, when a new splice would be made and the attempt to lay the cable resumed. DEATH OF GEN. QUITMAN. Oen. JOHN A. Qurruert died on Saturday morning last, at his residence near Natchez, Mississippi, of disease contracted at the National Hote, (Washington City) last fall— so says the telegraphic despatch. He was about 63 years of age, and had distinguished himself as a brave and successful officer in the Mexican war. lar Jour; J. SCHROEDER has been appointed 11 : the President, Postmaster,at Leavenworth ,City, Kansas, ,in place of Gen. Clarkson, resigned: 'W onder if JOHN F. &MODER, lomat , of this oity,.is not the person alluded Jo! Tula , OPPOSVI'IORN coarirzwrios.- The mongrel crew who take to themselves the generic name of Opposition to the Demct cratio party, gathered in an incongruous assembly at Harrisburg, on the 14th inst. At this time we sre still .unable, to give ituome to the coalescing ;party, becaMie the'skianseie lave themselves failed to baptise the hybred :bantling. In passing; we would earnestl . beg the guardians of this movement to engirt us with some eognomen which may hereafter spare us the necessity of eiraiomloeutions. Gov. Runes was selected to be permanent chair man, Requiting himself with that tact which might be expected from a gentleman who had so recently left the democratic school. He seemed to be head and shoulders above the Convention: and it was • flattering to the Democratic party that a pigmy in it should be a giant among this rabble. We must, in justice to Gov. REEDER, state that be has forgotten comparatively little of his good training in his two years rebellion. And further, we desire to protest against the unwarranted use which this "Convention" made of Democratic material. We are really unable to supply offices, candidates and platforms for all phrties. Mr. REEDER was good Democrat : JoaN M. READ was in the innermost sanctuary of the Democratic church, until within a short period ; and Wm. E. FRA ZER, until 1854, had not been misled by any will-o' the-wisp. The greatest struggle was naturally respect ing the candidate for the Supreme Bench. The nominee for this position, although properly rot a political office, will this fall be the banner bearer of the party. In this Keystone State, standing between the warring section of the country, a contest is to be fought which shall exert a considerable influence upon the fate of parties and the coun try's destiny. Through different accidents the candidates fore judicial station have become,or must become, the representatives of principles. It is impossible that Mr. PORTER or Mr. READ should shirk the question. On the Bench they must be incorrupt, impartial and able men, as the world considers each : but necessity, and their own acceptance of party nominations, burden them with partisan responsibilities.— It is of small importance who shall be the fifth Judge upon the - upreme Bench—so that he be honest and capable; as are these gentlemen— but it is of considerable moment that the peo ple of Pennsylvania should know for what principles they contend and which party they endorse. What are then the principles which Ju.; M. READ is expected to represent? He has been a good Democrat in his time. He has usually been considered the enemy of a pro tective tariff, and the Resolution in which the sense of the Convention is expressed on that subject, seems to have been moulded to suit his particular views. It advances no such ductrine,as protection fur the sake of protec tion, bue'may be adopted without reserve, by all parties.of this Commonwealth. So far as it goes, it.is correct in principle, for there is no one in our State who disbelieves that' the better method for raising revenue in these present times, is by a tariff. The Resolution dues not even exhort Pennsylvania Represen tatives to the performance of a plain duty, namely, to watch that in the formation of a tariff that is protective in fact, the coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania should be zeal ously guarded. It is ambiguous, general, and devoid of point, se all the Resolutions of this Convention are. There was only one idea in which this Con vention seemed to be harmonious—opposition to the Democratic party. The blind, spavined, string halted and foundered animals which the Democratic coach has dropped by the way, met in assembly, with a majority of jackasses to bray out their complaints fur the sores which the Democratic harness had worn upon their skins. They are likely to have a good rest from Administration difficulties, and we wish them plenty of fodder.—Harrisburg Patriot. FROM CALIFORNIA AND OREGON By the arrival of the Star of the West at New York, on Wednesday, we have late news from California. The Star• of the West brought $1,401,713 in treasure. The local news from California is unimportant. The reports from the Frazer river mines continued to be most favorable. A great number of emigrants were going from all the northern and southern mining counties of California to Frazer river. The conse quence was a general depression of business in the interior, and a rise in the rates of labor. The steamer Panama left San Francisco on the 13th of June, with 570 passengers ; the Georgiana on the 12th, with 130 ; the bark Adelaide same day, with 100 ; the steamer Pacific on the 14th, with 700, and the Cortez on the lich, with 1000 souls aboard. The town of Mariposa was destroyed by fire -on the 4th of June. The total loss was esti mated to be 8200,000. Twelve Japanese had been rescued from a junk at sea, by the ship Caribbean, and taken into San Francisco.— They had been floating about on the ocean in a rudderless hulk for over five months. Mr. F. A. Wheelock, late a member of the firm of W. C. Jewett S. Co., had been arrested in San Francisco on a charge of forgery, grow ing out of the transmission of certain drafts to New York. The news of Col. Steptoe's defeat is con• firmed. He lost five killed and fourteen wounded. At the last dates he was at Fort Walla Walla, waiting fur reinforcements.— There have been further troubles in the vicinity of Fort Oxford. The Indians had attacked a train of pack mules belonging to the I7uited. States, taking fourteen of the mules and killing one packer. On the other hand, fourteen Indians had been killetj while trying to escape when on the road to a reser• vation. Brigadier General Clark and staff had gone to the seat of war 'in Washington Territory. The steamer Senator arrived in San Francisco on the 13th of June, from San Diego, with two hundred troops, destined to the scene of the Indian difficulties. SALE OF THE DELAWARE DIVISION We learn from the Philadelphia Ledger, that the Delaware Canal has been sold to a company of ten or twelve leading capitalists, including J. V. Williamson, A. S. & G. Rob erts, A. G. Fell, E. W. Clarke & Co., Wm. Longetreth, Charles H. Fisher, Judge Hep burn, Ephraim. Marsh, of New Jersey, and some others. The price stipulated to he paid is one millzon seven hundred and seventy jive thousand dollars ! payable as follows : Mortgaue betide at 6 per cent $1,200,000 Preferred 8 per cent. stock 100,000 Ten monthly payments of $40.000 secured by col lateral 400 000 Cash, on execution of the papers 76,000 The bargain, on Saturday afternoon, was approved by the Governor, and is, of course, complete. The cash payment of $75,000 was made, and the purchasers organized into a company, under the title of Delaware Division of Pennsylvania Canal Company, and elected Jay Cook, President. Ste' President BucesNAN was expected to leave fur Bedford Springs, on yesterday after noon—so says the Washington correspondent of Forney's Press. A NEW CuUNTERFEIT.—A new counterfeit ten on the Bank of Cho.mbersburg is in oircu lation. It is said to be a close imitation of the genuine, but a 'shade paler, and dealers and others should be on their guard. conatvisilivikkibSt. The so-called " People's State Convention " met at Harrisburg on Wednesday last—ea % Governor Iturizi, of-Easton, presiding.--lnd on the tenth ballot, nominated the Hon. Jona; M. Itszn; - of . Philadelphia,-,as their mmdidate for the Supreme Court, and Wimsam K. Pis . zes,-Esq., of Fayette-county; ,for Canal Com missioner. The Convention passed ithe folloviing reso lutions, two of which smack very strongly of " Sam." We copy from the Harrisburg Tele. graph, and publish them for future refer ence : This Convention representing the freemen of Pennsylvania who are opposed to the lead• ing measures of the National Administration, most especially those which seek to stifle the voice, and ignore the rights of a large majority of the citizens of Kansas ; and those which have prostrated the industry of the country, and are fast driving our Government into Nadine' bankruptcy, do hereby declare and resolve, 1. That the Federal Constitution, the sov ereign rights, and union of the States, and the liberties of the people, must and shall be preserved. 2. That we protest against the Kansas policy of the National Administration, as at war with the rights of the people, and subver sive of the principles of our government. 3. That the reckless and profligate extrav agance of the National Adulinistration.causing a necessity for continued loans, without any means provided for their payment, gives evidence of a want of that ability and integrity which should characterize the government of a free people, and unless checked will lead to inevitable bankruptcy. 4. That the purity and safety of the Ballot Box, are to be preserved at all hazards, and that all frauds upon the Naturalization laws, which have been so much resorted to, to pro mote the success of the party we oppose, ought to be counteracted by wholesome and proper legislation. 5. That this Convention do most heartily approve of and endorse the course pursued by I our able and distinguished Senator in Con grass, the Hon. Simon Cameron, as well as that of those Representatives from this State, who have steadfastly opposed the tyrannical policy of the National Administration in their attempts to impose upon the people of Kansas by fraud and force a Slavery Constitution, in opposition to the known and oft expressed sentiments of the freemen of the Territory. 6. That the National Administration, du ' ring all the late long session of Congress, evinced au entire disregard of the great indus trial interests of the country, and indulged in a most wasteful and lavish.expenditure of the public money. 7. Resolved, That the revenue necessary for a judicious and economical administration of the Government, should be raised by the I imposition of duties upon foreign imports, and in laying them, such discriminating protec tion should be given as will secure the rights of free labor and American Industry. 8. That in presenting John M. Read to the people of Pennsylvania, as a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court, we recognize the man, scholar and jurist, eminently I qualified to fill and adorn the place. 9. That Wm. E.Frazer is well and favorably known to the people of Pennsylvania, us an able and correct business man, and peculiarly qualified to discharge all the duties pertaining ; to the office of the Canal Commissioner. 10. That we approve of the enactment of proper laws to protect us from the intrduction of foreign criminals in our midst by returning them at once to the places from whence they I have been shipped to our shores. APPLICATIONS FOR BANK CHAR TERS. In examining the various papers published in our borough, we find the following applica tions published in lie Daily and Weekly Telegraph, viz : Application for the establishment of an agency of the Bank of Delaware County, at Media, Delaware county. Application for the incorporation of the Farmers' Bank of Mount Joy, to be located at Mount Joy, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars Application fur the incorportion of the State Bank, to be located .at Harrisburg, with a capital of two hundred thousand dollars. Application for the incorporation of the Min eral Region Bank, to be located at Likenstown, Dauphin county, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars. Application for the extension of the charter of the Hanover Saving Fund Society, located in the borough of Hanover, York county. Application for the incorporation of a bank at Connelsville, Fayette county, under the title of the Fattners' and Miners' Bank, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars. Application for the incorporation of the Huntingdon County Bank, to be located at Huntingdon, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars. Application for a new bank at Media, to be called the Media Bank. with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars. Application of the Dauphin Deposit Bank for a renewal of their charter, with banking privileges, and for an increase of their capital to two hundred thousand dollars. The Patriot and Union publishes the appli. cation of the Carlisle Deposit Bank, for a change of name to that of Carlisle Bank, with general banking privileges, and an in crease of capital stock to two hundred thousand dollars. The Keystone publishes the: application of the Southwark Bank, of Philadelphia, for privilege to increase its stock one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Also, the application of the Mount Joy Savings Institution fur privilege to change its name to Mount Juy Bank, issue notes and increase its stuck. The Herald publishes the application to incorporate the Specie and Real Estate Guarantee Bank, of Philadelphia, with a capital of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. These are all the applications that have been published in the papers at Harrisburg, and will therefore comprise the list of appli- cants IT favors at the halals of the next Legislature.—Bar. Tel. THE COAL TRADE The Northern Central Railroad has been open to Sunbury, and now connects with the Shamokin and Sunbury Railroad, which gives that region access to the Southern market by railroad. The toll and freight from the Sha mokin region to Baltimore has been filed, by arrangement with the Shamokin Railroad, at $2 50 per ton from all the collieries in the Shamokin Region, thus placing them all on an equality. The toll and transportation from Sunbury to Baltimore is $2 00 per ton. The toll on coal from Millersburg, the terminus of the Lykens Valley Railroad, has been reduced from $2 10 to $1 90 per ton. The charge from Pinegrovo to Baltimore remains as here tofore, $2 10 per ton. The Shamokin opera tors anticipate a considerable market for their coal south, by this route. THE CHIVALRY OF RUBBERS - NOT EXTINCT.— Of the following story from the New Orleans Delta we can only say with the "si non e vero e ben irovato," which may be trans lated for the benefit of "Young America," If it is not true, it is devilish well gotten up : 'A night or two ago, a fair, sweet girl, resid ing on Race, near Fourth street, was partially awakened from her slumbers by a man in her chamber, but not fully aroused she lay with closed lips for a minute, when, the sound be ing repeated, she started up and saw by the light of the little jet upon the gas burner, a man's form disappearing through the window. She screamed involuntarily, and her father, armed with a revolver, was in her room in a few moments, greatly agitated and alarmed.— The parent was disposed to think his daughter had been dreaming, when in looking around, he observed upon his daughter's dressing bu reau, where a beautiful enamelled watch, a necklace Ao., were lying, a slip of paper, on which was written $1,116,000 " FAIREST, DEAREST GIRL': I came here to rob, but your beauty made me honest for the time. I saw these jewels, but, believing them yours, I could not take them. I have stolen what I value more—three delicious kisses from your unconscious lips. Do not be offen ded—they were gentle and innocent. AN UNKNOWN LOVER. " This story ,sounds romantic, but we are assured upon the best authority that it is strictly veracious, and we publish it as an evi dence that the age of gallantry and sentiment is not at an end; that the, race of Rinaldo Rinaldino is not extinct." We o►ip the following appropriate remarks concerning " Protection," from the Southern Monitor, a weekly paper published in Phila delphia, by JOHN Jouss, Esq., formerly editor of the Madisonian in Washington,D,C. When the country was younger, with less capital and fewer people in it, the leaders and great men of the defunct Whig party could, and: often did, rally immense masses. of the voters' in the Northern States, by,.-eDunding the party cry of " Tariff for Protection." And ,when the cry was first raised, home manufac tires needed some protection, and it was granted. In 1824,'28 and '42, the capitalists enjoyed the partial interposition of the Govern ment in their behalf. But Tiow,. with the exception of Iron, which is indiSpensable for national defenoe, they do not need any more protection than they enjoy at the present moment. "The very ludicrous spectacle of the recent tariff movement in this city consisted in itb imitation of the grand and sublime momentum that used to be imparted to it by Clay and Webster. The present leaders, now denomi nated " old fogies," were, in reality, merely the grooms of the great Wbig leaders ; and their'masters being dead and gone, they have brought the old war-horse out of the stable and mounted him, precisely as children do hobby horses ; and they huzza. and cut and slash with their toy swords, and blow their little tin trumpets, and plunge their rowels in the flanks of the antiquated hobby, as their captains used to do when there was something to fight for. "But now the manufacturers of the Law rence and Stone kidney, it is well understood, merely desire 4;aonoplies as lobby speculations, and there are not more than 360 of them, all told. They will furnish so many millions to defray the expenses of a campaign, for an equivalent of su many tens of millions after wards. " Protection ! It is an ignominious word.— We can protect ourselves. The London Times is worked on an American press; American locomotives whistle over the European rail roads ; and Morse's telegraph speaks from nation to nation, throughout the civilized world Protection ! Let any man sit down in his oval house and call his family around him. Let him examine and inquire what it is neediprO tection. His cloth coat and his wife's silk dress are of foreign manufacture—and are taxed—but there are no silk and cloth mills in America. His tea and coffee are imported —but we could not produce them if the duty was raised one hundred per cent. Nearly everything else in his house is the product of American industry. Ask our merchants if THEY desire a high tariff—and if they be not " old fogies," like the simple grooms of the old. war-horse, they will frankly tell you no ! They know what effect high prices have upon the consumer. The poor would feel it ; and all for the benefit of the 300 monopolists! " The Quixotical 'old fogy' grooms had bet ter lead the old Whig horse back into the stable and feed him well, that his life may be prolonged for the good he once did their masters. His time is past and gone forever. Let him die as peaceably as possible ; for if any fuss be made over his carcase, it may excite the attention of the poor men of the country to the subject, and another mode of raising revenue may be tried. There may be something signiti cant in the following paragraphs, copied from the Columbus (Ga.) Corner Stone:" It will he recollected that no man pays any• thing to the support of the government except what he pays on the foreign goods which he consumes. The man with ten millions of prop • Arty, and whose just share is sixty thousand dollars, must consume three hundred thousand dollars worth foreign goods at cost, before he can pay his share. That is, he pays three honored thousand dollars for the goods, and sixty thousand dollars for duties. We all know that this is impossible, even with the wildest extravagance. The man with $lOO of property pays his share when he has consum ed S 3 of foreign •goods—that is, he pays $3 for his goods and 60 cents fur the duties. This, too, we all know, is practically impossible, even with the most niggardly economy. In this calculation we have assumed 20 per cent. as the rate of duty. Suppose the man with $10,000,000 of prop. erty to consume $lO,OOO of foreign goods ; he pays $2OOO to the support of government, which is just two cents on every $lOO of his property. Suppose a man with $lOO of prop arty consumes $lOO of foreign goods, he pays to the support of government $2O, which is 2000 cents on the $lOO of his property. In other words, the man with $lOO of property pays just 1000 times as much, in proportion to his property, as the man with $10,000,000. It may be said that this is an extreme case, but it is not se. It does not present the case even in its truth. There are thousands upon thousands of men in the country who have families, and the value of whose property does not exceed $lOO, who are compelled to con sume more than $lOO of foreign goods, while the instances are very rare in which She con sumption of one man, no matter how wealthy, reaches $lO,OOO. But more than this, there are thousands of young men and young women without a dollar of property, dependent upon their own exertions for support, and not un• frequently with others dependent upon them, who are compelled to consume largely of for eign goods, and consequently to contribute largely out of their scanty means to the Gov ernment. A system which of necessity imposes the burthen of supporting the government upon the labor instead of the property of the coun try, is so manifestly glaring and meanly un just, that no right-minded man can come to any other conclusion than that it ought to be abolished. No man who has the 'Slightest regard for justice will desire to pay less than his fair proportion to the support of the gov ernment, for the plain reason that it must impose upon some man more than his just share. I 3:l= We ask the attention of our readers to the following wholesale fabrication of the Wash ington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, with the triumphant exposure of it from the Enquirer of that city : " The fiscal year has now expired, and with- in a fortnight we shall know the receipts of the quarter which expired on the 30th of June.— But all the other data are at hand by which the operations of the year may be measured. And here they are, roughly; for public edifica tion : Balance In the Treasury let of July, 1857, according to RP port of Secretary $17,7[0,114 27 Receipts first quarter from customs, lands, and miscellaneous 20.929 819 81 Receipts sec-nd quarter do 7,092 886 1.0 Receipts third quarter do 8,002,148 35 Receipts fourth quarter Oust expired esti. mated) 8,000 000 00 Treasury notes under act of 22d Dee., 1857... 20.000 000 00 Loan under act June 20.000.000 00 Total 2101.735,047 42 "It thus appears that there have been re ceived by and granted to the Administration, within the fiscal year, nearly $102,000,000!" —Washington Correspondent of the Gazette. "That figures cr.n be made to lie abominably is conclusively proved by the above statement, which is intended to convey the impression that the expenses of the Government for the year ending Ist July, 1858, were $101,000,000, although it is not so unequivocally stated. "From the balance in the Treasury of $17,000,000 last July, deduct in round num bers $4,000,000, which was paid on the na tional debt; also deduct over $11,000,000 to pay deficiencies in debts for 1857, contracted by the last Congress, which was Rebuhlican in that branch which has especial charge of the revenue service, and which it had failed to supply means to pay. We must also de duct the $20,000,000 loan, not a dollar of which went to defray the expenses of the year ending July 1, 1858. It is all for the coming year. Of the Treasury 'notes say $10,000,000 are now on hand, not over $10,000,000 having been applied on last year's expenditures.— These various deductions amount to $45,000,- 000, leaving the actual expenditures of Mr. Buchanan's administration only $56,000,000 for the year 1858, being several millions of dollars less than the expenses of the last year° of General Pierce's administration. Every dollar of the fifty six millions were authorized and declared right by the Republican House of Representatives which elected Banks Speaker." TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-011 Friday morning last an accident occurred to the Express Train on the New York and Erie Railroad, al Shin Hollow, seventy miles above New York City. The two hind cars of the train were thrown from the track by the breaking of a rail, and with their contents were precipitated "down an embankment of thirty feet. Nine of the passengers were killed and forty-seven wonnded=-some' of them fatally.

The vacation commenced yesterday, and will continue until Monday the 30th of August. HIGH SCHOOLS' COMMENCEMENT--The Sixth Annual Commencement of the City High Schools was held at Fulton Hall. on Friday evening, in the midst of au over crowded and almost suffocated audience. We ware in the Hall but n few momenta, the heat being en intense aa to render our stay necessailly short. Whilst present. Master CHARLES E.

The young gentleman conducted hlmeelf with manly ease, and has many of the requisite estiontiale for making an excellent public speaker. He retired under a heavy shower of bequeta. The other speakers, we are informed did equally well. and Flora was Just as profuse In her offerings to them. The essays by the young ladies were exceedingly well written, containing much depth and beauty of thought, and showing that the scholars' minds had bean undergoing a thorough and rigid discipline.

A VISIT TO WABANIC.—In 'company with a friend we paid a visit the other afternoon to the cooling and invigorating skids! of . Wabank—ii place, strange to say. we bad not been at belie he els years. To say that our companion and ourself were pleased is Indeed too faint an expression. Both of us were completely enraptured, had we the eloquence of a Choate, Everett or Cushing oar iroices would have been • heard oe the spot in praise of its many beauties. We rambled over the shady grounds until teatime, our appetite& meanwhile becoming wonder- Italy keen, and at. the esekeme . "gong's" sound we found oinrealveaseatelaintablelliled With the choisest delicacies, gotten up in the bait style. • The 'inner man's" wants were, as a matter of comae, well attended to. After tea we took s short ride down the Conestoga, on the boat "Dr. A.B. Myna," and enjoyed the trip amazingly. The evening was gloriously fine, and the water as calm . as a "summer's morn." A more pleasant afternoon we have not spent for a long time, and we here take occasion to tender our thanks to Capt. DUCHILLK, and hie polite assistants,for the kindness and courtesies extended us. • Wabank, considering the dullness of times, Is doing a fine business. Its worthy pmprietons, Messrs. Yousar A DIICHMAN, are certainly deserving of it. A moreenarming spot to spend the "heated term," es we have said before, cannot be found anywhere. Communicated. THE lorm s AGONY OvEz.—The triumphant re-election of Mr. V. DAVIS, as Principal of the Male High School, of this city, puts an end to the disrepu table fend which bee existed for several months In relation to that Institution, and which • has given rise to ■o many unfounded slanders prejudicial to his character and to the school over which be has presided with so much ability for several years past. - He has passed the fiery ordeal, to which be was subjected mainly by the jealousy and treachery of one or two of his Assistants, unscathed, and emerges with "colors flying," whilst the pimps and spies who have been dogging his pathway, and endeavoring to mislead the Board of Directors by falsehoods and mierep' resentations, have been forced to hang their beads in shame and disgrace. The voluminous testimony taken in the case before the Committee of the Board, so far from sustaining either of the chargee trumped up against Mr Davis by his Assist ant, BErstOCIR PRESTON, operated as a complete vindication of his conduct. It did not substantiate or sustain a sin us charge In the whole bill of indictment, but, on the con trary, must have convinced every unprejudiced nand who heard it either taken before the Committee or read before the Board, that the charges and specification were fetes and unfounded from beginning to end. The Board of Directors acted wisely in refusing to endorse the charges, so totally unsustained as they were by the evi dence in the cane. and the re-election of Mr. D. is a gratify trig evidence of the confidence reposed in his ability. integrity and sound moral character A FRIEND To Tat Ml. FASHIONS—Non - AND THEN.—An old gen tlemen furnishes the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin with the following interesting reminiscences of fashion : "In 1798 the ladles each were a single beep, which was as large as the lower one now worn. The hoop was worn as high as the hips, and below it depended a train. often five or six yards long, that was carried be waiting-maids or boys. The old gentleman recollects seeing Mrs. Ito pert Morris walk along Broadwey, New York. in company with Aaron Burr, while hei train was borne by six French musree women, richly dressed, and with turbans on their heads. The women all a ore stays, and shoes with heels two or three inches h gh—immense (diver buckles being on the shoes. Silk dresses were not then common, and muslin ones worn were admired according to the size oft huff were on them—roses as large one's hat being. con-idered most elegant and tasteful. At that time, enormous head-dresses were worn. towering far above the head of the wearer The hea•i-gear for the street was a sort of cap, which was placed upon the top of the head dress, with a curtain of cope at the sides anceback, which hung down to the shoulders." Compared with such monstrous perversion of the end, aim, and fact of attire, who dares to complain of the decided conservatism of existing fashions? Let women.haters rant and rage; still we hold that the present female costume is conservative. And what If women abould expend still further, and resume a still grander circumference? Cuba must be ours some day, and Mexico can be finished by a coup d' dot. Can we not say to crinoline as old Toby said to the fiy: '• There Is room enough in the world for thee and me." AN IMPOSTER ABOUT. —A short time ago a Jeremy Diddler succeeded In "doing" some of our citizens out of small amounts of money in such a plausible manner as to Induce us to record his operations for the benefit of the unwary, especially as there is reason to believe that he may yet be loitering around the vicinity of this city or at Harrisburg. The first that Is heard of him, as we learn from the Express, was one morning, when he called upon a clergyman of this city, who at the time was engaged in shaving. He at once claims old acquaintanceship. professed familiarity with one of the rural scenes of the reverend gentleman's labors, said he had just returned from a fruit less search there for his relatives, but found they wore all no more! When asked as to the name of the relatives, be replied Broom, and gave his own name, which was Seth flout, of course. After much familiar and plausible con. versation, Mr. Diddler stated that he woe out of funds— wished to take his wife to Harrisburg, and named the place in North Queen street where she was alleged to be stopping. He solicited the loan of five dollar., promising moat posi tively to return it on the following Saturday or Monday.— The money was given to aid the distressed brother, and, although a fortnight has elapsed, nothing hes been seen of the money or the borrower. It now turns out that this same Individual went to another clergyman and diddled him out of 50 lu like manner, and also operated in a small way upon two or three members of the Bar, professing the same object for which be wanted the money. The fellow, whoever he may be, is ofrourse an arrant impostor, and wo trust this item may put others on bheir guard. not to heed the stories of strangers. however plausible, without first ascertaining the truth of their representations. A FINE IMPROVEMENT.—The Pennsylvania Railroad Company hare completed the wideniog,of their tracks, and on yesterday new passenger cars were placed on the whole route. The card will pass through . from Philadelphia to Pittsburg without a change On the Night trains passengers will be placed in very comfortable can provided with large, high banks and reclining seats; they are ales mere roomy than the ordinary cars, being oue and a half feet wider than those heretofore lu use. COLUMBIA. AFFAIRS.—WO glean the follow rut "items" from Saturday's Spy Ma. J. D. NICIIO49.—The resignation by this gentleman of his position as Principal of the Washington Institute has been so general a subject of conversation during the post week, that we nosy thus publicly tilbtice It without, we trust, unwarrantable intruding upon his privacy. The announcement of the closing of his connection with the institution of which he has bees the head since 'its inaugu ration, was made by the Printipal himself on Friday of last week. at the close of the exercises of the school exam. Mallon. He addressed the children feelingly and although it was previously known to many amongst them that they were about to lose their teacher. his remarks prodnced much setaation, and the tears of the pupils paid just trib ate to the worth of the instru , tor proving the close rela tionship of affection which he had, in the few months that he has governed theta. succeeded in establishing between himself and the children. Among the parents the feeling has been equally one of regret, at losing an instructor in whose Lerida any child might be entrusted. with confidence that while under his care no Improper influence could intrude. We know of no stranger who boa given more general satisfaction to our citizens than Mr. Nichols, and considering the peculiar unlit tenon which is asked of a parent entrusting the gov ernment 01 her child to another, he has succeeded in ob taining that confidence to a wonderful degree. As an instructor we have yet to hear a word unfavorable to his attainmen's or mode of imparting knowledge. In the as sistance of Mrs. Nichols in the female department of the school, Mr N. hue given au additional guarantee of tare over the deportment and character of his pupils. Socially. Mr. Nichols has been found entirely a gentleman; but outside of his station as Principal of the I istitute we have no right to discuss his character or merits. Whep we say that his departure from our town will be regarded by a large,portion of our people as a public loss we do not over state the feelings of the community. The pupils have voluntarily given evidence of the feel ings of respect and affection in which Mr. and Mrs. Nichols are held by them, in a aeries of resolutions which we pub lish today. A petition has been signed by a majority, if not the whole, or the patents of children who have been pupils at the Institute. asking the return of Mr. Nichols, and this we hope may be effected. With the cause of his resignation we have nothing to do. so it bag been made public only by rumor: but in common with all of our citizens who have the interest/ of the educational institution which is being bolit up in our b irough at heart. we must regret a change which removes from the head of that school a gentleman who enjoys the confidence and esteem of the entire com inanity; especially at the outset of its existence, when every Care is necessary to establish a permanent character before the public, upon whom its support materially de pends. W4ll the directors of the Columbia Public Ground Company heed the loudly expreesed wish of our citizen•, and use nil proper exertions to induce Mr. Nichols to re consider his resignation. Ma. WElsses ORAT/OL—On Friday evening of last week a large audience assembled in the Odd Fellows' Hall to listen to the Oration, by Hon Wm. H. Welsh, delivered en the occasion of the close of the session of the Washington Institute. A prayer was first offered up by Rev Mr. Barnes, whet Mr. Welsh addressed the audlenc.. No mere sketch of the substance of the Oration can con voy a just Ides 01 Its merits, tier can we attempt from recollection to follow the argument of the speaker. The address gave general satisfaction, and was listened to throughout with attentive Interest, notwlthst nding the unfavorable temperature of the evening The peculiar flowery eloquence and classic imagery of Mr. Welsh dashed through the entire discourse. and lighted It up brilliantly. The orator's style is pure ae well as ornate. and his deliv ery graceful and effective. With a more sonorous voice Mr. W. would be one of the moat telling speakers of the day. We trust soon to enjoy another treat from his eke quent lips. “Jzittetistel"—On the afternoon of the 7th inat., High Constable Derrick arrested and brought before Justice Welsh, Julia Thomas. a cartringepaper colored, buxom wench, of Tow I,IID, charged with purloining a parasol, on the sth of July. This young lady appears to be somewhat of a belle on the Hill, and the possession of the parasol, beside preserv-. log the complexion. gave her additional advantage over her dusky rivals. She plumed herself on her flue feathers. and "spread herself" under the sun shade on gala occa sions. Julia was generous, however, and on some especial fete day loaned the parasol t, her friend Margaret Fulton Margaret disported with mach satisfaction under the shadow of the borrowed luxury. " throwin' herself in de cool." and Julia, believing that "one good turn deserves another," promenaded with equal abandon and pleasure under the protection of Margaret's light-thick lover. They met. Margaret was outraged. Strange jealousies so filled her head, With many a vain surmise," that she resolved on r-r-r-r.revenge!l and set her wicked wits to work to compass the annihilation of her rival She would tear out her eyes I She would tear out her hair! No, she would tear her clothes! She would call her while) She could not satisfy her jealous fury; eke was distracted with passion. " All torments of the damn'd we find In only thee, 0. Jealoutie l Thou tyrant, tyrant, of the mind." Ah I the hoe it; she will break the parasol! No—Ha, Ha! victory, victory I she will " blow ' , her; she will Inform the loser of the parasol of its whereabouts! And she did. Julia acknowledged having the Daraisol in her possession, but denied felonious appropriation. She found the para sol on the pavement, where, being a minute article, it might naturally be lost by the owner. She was perfectly cool and willing to go to jail, provided "dat Meg Fulton „ went along. It was a clear breach of etiquette in Margaret to inform on Julia, and the latter resented it accordingly. The magistrate, in the absence of any testimony that Julia had stolen the parasol, deem it- advisable to place confi dence in her statement, but Inasmuch as she had neglected to adiartise her " treasure trove," sentenced her to pay the costa of finding It. She gave Richard Instructions where to recover the missing article,. and on security for the costs being entered, was Permitted to depart, murmur ing blessings on the head of Miss Fulton. " Let me advise you, ladies - Of jealousy beware: It canseth many a one to fall. And la - the devil's snare. " How Margaret "igcit square " with her young man does Dot aippear. • A Goon Exsxr.m..—On Monday, 12th inst.. Mr. John Stamen delivered to Justice Welsh a double•bartelel shot gnu, which had been dropped by a negro who wee gunning over Mr..Staman's fields, in violation .of law. Mr. 8 pur sued the offender. stimulating him by the liberal applica• Don ore carriage whip, and in hie efforts to escape the darkey dropped the gun which was secured and placed in .the hands of the magidr.ite. David Rrown,Of Sawneytown, appeared and claimed the gun sa his properly. lie had loaned It to the unknown trespasser, and demanded its return to himself. Esquire Welsh declined giving it into the hands of any but the sportsman who dropped it. The latter le requested to come forward, prove property, pay chows. and take it away. We trust that eltonr farmers will be equally prompt in thastblng the tuff with which the country to overran.— There is plenty of law to protect property from trespassers if it is alwee strictly enforced. A few more examples. ench as the above will go far to abate the nuisance which has become intolerable The present game laws are very Stringent, and we would gladly see the reck . res rowdies Who annoy the whole neighborhood compelled to observe them strictly.

II The above are all new oases. but this par ticular mode of swindling the public is nut a new invention, as is shown by the records of the Post Office Department. In 1849 there were ref urued t, that office 624 letters address ed to Senor Jose de Al rear, and containing $5 each. In 1850. there were 958 letters returned addressed to Dr. R. Weisselholl, and contain ed $1 each. The noted firm of " Dashall & C 0.," of Chicago, had letters returned there, in 1855, containing the large sum of $3.646 ; and the firm of " W. J. Buck & Cu„” of the same place, were refused the delivery of 205 letters, which, at the Dead Letter Office, were found to contain $683. The whole of this money thus seized upon by the Post Office Department, has been returned to the parties inclosing it, but at a heavy cost of labor to the Government. When will the American people cease to be humbugged? NEW ENGLAND A UNIT.—The Republican papers are loudly boasting that New England will be a unit in the next United States Senate against the measures and policy of the present Administration, it being represented by twelve Senators of the Republican faith. It is no new thing for the Democracy to have NeW England cast a united vote against them ; but, on the contrary, judging from the past, we may accept it as a favorable omen. New Englat.d did not give a single electoral vote to Thomas Jefferson, when he was first chosen President, in 1800. She was all but unani mous against the war with England in 1812, and the policy of the patriot Madison to preserve the national honor at that time.— She gave an unanimous electoral vote against that illustrious President, General Jackson, when he was chosen in 1828. She gave an unanimous electoral vote against James Bu chanan and for Fremont in 1856. In fact, since the Revolution, the dominant party of New-England has been against every national measure, and has been opposed to all our great and successful statesmen. In opposing Mr. Buchanan she is, therefore, in admirable harmony with all her past antecedents !—Cin. Enquirer. AMALGAMATION MARRIAGES IN B.STON.—The Boston matrimonial register shows that during the last year there have been no less than sixty amalgam - 160n marriages ; and singular to say, thry were all of white women with black or colored men ; in no instance has a white man been registered as having taken to wife a colored woman. The white ladies of Boston and thereabouts have singular tastes. —New York Despatch.

What else could they du UNPLEASANT I-Two young men from Wheel ing, Vit., attempted to ford Wheeling creek in a buggy, on the sth, found the water too deep, and the buggy, getting fist on the rooky bottom, they stripped to the skin, to release their vehicle, but seeing a large pie nic party of ladies and gentlemen approaching, they took to the woods, leaving their clothing, horse and buggy behind. The pic•nio party coming up and seeing the horse, buggy and clothing, supposed that something dreadful had hap pened, and were about taking the horse away. One of the young mon had a view of the proceedings, from his retreat behind a large tree ; the idea of being left in the woods without a garment to his back, nerved him to a desperate resolve, and he bawled loudly to the party to let that arrangement alone. One of the gentlethen replied, and kept up a con• versation with the unseen Spirit. is which lie learned the truth of the whole affitir, and the picknickers proceeded on their way, full of mirth at the incident. HORRIBLE BUTCHERY OF A FAMILY.-W 8 learn from the Wilmington Journal, that a horrible tragedy occurred in Columbia county, N. C., on the 29th ult. A man named Joshua Rouse, who had been confined in the insane assylum for eighteen months, but who was taken out by his guardian and permitted to go at large, deliberately killed his father, his wife and two of his own small children, cutting off their heads with an axe. His eldest son narrowly escaped. The Journal says The sou who escaped, stated, we believe, that Rouse killed the old man out in the yard pia; a stick, and then chopped off his head. He took the old man's knife,. and with that he killed his own wife, and cutoff her head. The children he killed with the axe, and chopped off their heads. At Whiteville, , when being carried to jail, Rouse said he killed hia wife because she had tried to cut his throat , two years ago, and his . father because he had wipped him very severely when a boy. There is no doubt that he . was insane when he committed the murders. 1 1-7 40 20 7 su . 1541 K 9 . 11 uo 2' 80 14.41 85 24 00 h 00 4801 • 1 00 3 flu 24 00 84 00 415 50 117 00 85 00
