We find it impossible to effect settlements with all in dabted to us, by the first of July, as we had expected.— The making out of bills lea labor of many weeks, and as _.we_deslie to give all a - fair chance to not:Mate their indebt edness, we shall be under the necessity of extending the time, so that none may have an excuse for their neglect of duty. those who have so promptly responded to our call— and a goodly number have done so-we return our sincere thanks, and solicit a contintjince of their patronage to the establishment.

Subscrip tions for a shorter period in the same proportion. It would • be the easiest thing in the world for persons to send us a $6, $lO, or $2O note, or-even one or two gold dollars, by mall, the receipt of which would be promptly acknowl edged by no. t IMPROVING IN HONESTY Per some time past the Black Republican papers and orators—JOHN IhczHeN, for exam ple—have been asserting that the expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending the Ist of July, 1858, were $100,000,000. By dint of persuasion and argument they appear to be at last convinced that it is proper to deduct from this amount the $20,000,000 loan author ized by Congress just before the adjournment to meet any possible deficiency that may arise during the fiscal year ending on the lse of July, 1859—not a dollar of which had been expended in the year which closed on the let of July, 1858. Deducting this $20,000,000, the Republican papers now publish tables, manufactured for the occasion, to show that $81,000,000 were expended in the fiscal year. This is a little nearer the truth, but is yet far from being correct. They still charge in this $81,000,000 to Mr. Buchauan's account $15.- 000,000 of debts, which were contracted by the Republican Congress before he became President, and also several millions of Treas ury notes that are now on hand. They must deduot these as well as the $4,000,000 paid by Secretary Cobb on account of the public debt, and then the expenses will be considerably under $60,000,000, which is about the average they have been for several years. seic• The Intelligencer sneers at the Repub lican State Convention for not paying especial regard to Pennsylvania interests. We should have been ashamed of the Convention if its vision had been bounded by the State line.— The Peoples Party stand on a platform as broad as the Union, and do not confine them selves to the interests of any particular State or locality. They go in for the protection of Ammer( INDUST R.Y, not Pennsylvania indus try. The working man of Maine and Texas has as tbuoh right to be protected as the work ing man of Pennsylvania. We clip the above paragraph from the leader of last Wednesday's Examiner, and direct the special attention of our readers to the venti ments contained in it. It appears that in the Black Republican creed, as enunciated by their state Convention and endorsed by the Examiner, Pennsylvania interests are entitled to but little consideration—in fact they are made merely ; secondary to the interests of "Maine and Texas." This perhaps, would be good. enough doc trine to go before the people of our State in a Presidential canvass ; but we have never before heard it so boldly proclaimed on the eve of a Congressional election. We have always en tertained and advocated the doctrine that the Representative is bound by the will of his constituents, and that it is his duty first and foremost to take care of their interests. The Examiner will hardly deny that the interests of Pennsylvania are very different from those, of Maine and Texas, and our . people would hardly be disposed to trust them in the hands of Representatives from either of those distant States—nor would their people trust their peculiar interests to the tender mercies of Pennsylvania Congressmen. We differ from the Examiner then in this, that we go first for Pennsylvania, and -think it no disgrace to advocate our own domestic policy—whilst our neighbor " would have been ashamed of the [Republican] Convention if its vision had been bounded by the State line"—in other words, if it had advocated a policy on the subject of the tariff peculiarly appropriate to Pennsylvania. The Examiner, by its own admission, cares quite as much for the free trade notions of Maine and Texas as it does for the coal and iron of Pennsylvania. We do nut, and therein lies the difference he tween us. It will be for the people of Lancas ter county, at the ensuing election, to deter mine who is right and who is wrong on this question. GONE TO BEDFORD President BUCHANAN, accompanied by his niece, Miss LANE, Sir WM. GORE OMMEY, and others left Washington on Tuesday evening for Bedford Springs. The party tarried at the Relay House that night, and on Wednesday morning took a handsome car, provided by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and, attached to the regular western train, proceed ed to Cumberland, Md., where they dined.— After dinner the President and suite took car riages for the springs, where they arrived the same evening, about 11 o'clock. He is expect ed to return to Washington City the begin ning of nekt week. UNITED BRETHREN CAMP MEETING.—There will be a Camp Meeting of the United Breth ren, held near Myerstown, Lebanon county, commencing on the 9th inst. The location is near the Lebanon Valley Railroad, and in a fine section of country. Those of our Lancaster county people who may visit the Camp, will find the " United States Hotel," kept in Myers town by our friend, Col. JESSE REINHOLD, (formerly of Schoeneck) to be a first-rate stop ping place, and the accommodations will be everything that could be desired. Nothing will be left undone by the Col. to make his guests comfortable. He also keeps an omni bus to convey passengers in the cars to and from the Railroad Depot to his hotel. FIRE IN LEBANON A very destructive fire occurred at Lebanon on Thursday morning last, about 3 o'clock, which destroyed the Moravian Church, a handsome edifice erected but a few years ago, and some 10 or 12 shops and dwelling houses, and five or six stables. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is presumed to have been accidental. Another fire broke out in Lebanon on Friday morning, which destroyed three stables and some other property. This last is thought to have been the work of an incendiary. • par THE KANSAS ELECTION, on the submis sion of the Leeompton Constitution, under the English amendment, took place on yesterday. The Missouri State election also took place on yesterday. 'The annual election for Governor and other• State officers will take place, in North Carolina, on Thursday next. BRITISH HYPOCR/SY..THES cpo!.PG Abolition hypocrisy is very much the same on both sides of the Atlantic, only in England "it is a little more eo." Not a whisper 'have the sham philanthropists on either side of the water breathed, until very recently, against the curdling horrors of the French apprentice . - systezii:and the appalling cruelty of the En glish trade in Coolies—a trade as much more frightful than the traffic in negroea, as human larignaga'can express. The Nashville Union very forcibly and justly remarks, that the recent controversy between this country and Great Britain, growing out of the claim of the latter Government of a right to search vessels suspected of being en gaged in the slave trade, has closed by the entire abandonment of the claim. The con- troversy has provoked a comparison of African slavery with the system of Coolie servitude practised by Great Britain, not at all favorable to the latter system. In 1856, the Commis sioners of Westjndia emigration submitted to the British Government an official report on Coolie emigration to the West Indies, from which report it appears that the traffic is car ried on under government auspices in national vessels ; that government agents are employed in China and Hindoostan, for the purpose of inducing the natives. to " emigrate" to the British colonies, and that these agents receive for every strong able-bodied man, from eight to ten dollars. Promises are made to the emigrants of.a lucrative employment, and the fairest prospects are held out to them. Hand bills are distributed, representing to the ignor ant Asiatics the climate of the West Indies as " healthy and congenial," and the labor thel are expected to perform " such as they are ac customed to at home." They are promised an " easy and comfortable voyage," and a prompt release and safe return home at the expiration of their contract. But the treach ery consists in this, that of the terms of this " contract" they are kept in utter ignorance until after their arrival at the colonies, when the law compels !hem to submit to them, such as they are, nolens volens. From the Commissioner's report, above re ferred to, it appears also that according to the "special contract," drawn up by the Colonial Government, every coolie is obliged " to work for ten years from the date of the arrival of the ship, either in sowing or planting sugar, or as shepherd, or in digging ditches, or grounds and foundations ;" in short, to per form " every description of. servile labor."— The length of a working day, as fixed in the " contract," is comprised between the hours of half-past four, A. M., and nine, P. M."— The coolie is forbidden "to do any work for any other person" not his master, except with the consent of the latter. The West Indian planter pays from forty to fifty dollars per coolie, which is the Government price. For the' heavy labor imposed upon him by a mer. ciless bargain, made not previous to his em barkation, but after he is in the power of the West India colonists, he receives, according to the statement of the Earl of Carnarvon, ten cents per day. As he is obliged by the terms of the Shylock's bargain to defray from his earnings the expenses of the return passage to his native country, it is very evident, consid ering the low rate of wages and the expenses of living in the West Indies, that there is no prospect for him ever to escape slavery. He is virtually a slave for life. No instances are on record of coolies having been returned to Asia after the passage of the law prolonging the duration of servitude from five to ten years, in 1853, and this, in all probability, was the real object to be attained by its enactment.— The Commissioners, in their report, inform the Government, however, of the 22,000 coolies imported from 1845 to 1848, into Trinidad and Jamaica, 5000 had really been sent back. Of the' fate of the remainder, 17;000, they pretend to bo unable to give any positive account, but suppose that at the time they might possibly " have postponed their return passage in con sideration of a bounty of fifty dollars for an additional five years." At the same time, however, they state that the coolies " are suf. fering from the effects of the climate," that " the mortality from this is fearful, and that an uninterrupted supply of coolies is demand ed by the colonists on that account." The difference between slavery for life and slavery for ten years, consists in the infinitely greater emelty of the latter system. The holder of slaves for a certain number of years will make the most of his bargain. His ava rice is subject to no restraint, controlled by no interest in the welfare of his slaves beyond the stipulated term. The West India planter neither wishes settlements of liberated coolies to endanger his neighborhood, nor to return them to their country, for the accounts which they would give there of their experience in the colonies would undoubtedly prove fatal to the recruiting department. The tendency of the British coolie system is to work the slave to death before the expiration of his bondage, and this explains the fate of 17,000 out of 22.000 coolies which could not be accounted for under the law of 5 years' servitude, and the fact that after the operation of the law was extended to 10 years, no applications were made for return passage to Asia. The climate is the only cause of the `• fearful mortality" complained of. MILITARY LAW Adjutant General Wilson has issued a cir cular to the military of the Oommonweakh, in which he explains the effects of the mili tary law, and refutes the idea expressed by many newspapers, that the volunteer system will involve the State in debt. He says that under the law, each county forms a brigade, and each brigade must support its own mili tary organization from the military tax raised in it. The State Treasury has, therefore, nothing to do with paying military expenses, except so far as the expenses proper of the Adjutant General's department is concerned. He expresses the opinion that the surplus from the military fund in the several brigades, after paying the expenses of the volunteer companies within their bounds, will be quite a handsome item for the sinking fund, and assist in paying the public debt of the Cum• rnonwealth. APPOINTMENT.--We see by the Wrightsville Star that HENRY Y.SLAYM A KER, Esq., former ly of this county, received from President EncEtxriebt, some time since, the appointment of Governor of Rock Island, with a salary of some five or six hundred dollars per annum thereto attached. We do not know what extent of territory is included in this gover norship, but we are told that it is a portion of territory reserved by Government for military purposes.—York Gazette. Mr. SLAYMAKER, we believe, is well known to some of the citizens of Lancaster, having formerly resided here. AN APOLOGY.—The Junior has been absent on a " bust" =for a week -past, which will account for any short comings in the local department of the present issue of THE INTELLIGENCER. When last heard from he was luxuriating in Old Berke, but had some notion of paying a flying visit to Schuylkill county. A letter from him will be found in another column. Ncw PAPER AT Catceoo.—We have receiv ed the first number of a new Democratic paper published at Chicago, 111., called The Daily' Herald, Charles N. Pine, Editor. It is a handsome sheet, well printed, and takes strong ground against the position of_Senator Doug. las, and supports thoroughly the General .Lthainis tratlon. They promised w h e n they went into pow er some few years since, to have the Fugitive Slave law repealed .1 They met .in Congress, and after-remaining in session, a long time, left the Fugitive Slave law untouched. They have held out the idea that they_were in favor of abolishing slw;hry in the District of Columbia. But its was only a sham—they never intended to act upon it—and when the qiestion came up, their.own standard Bearer in 1856, voted to retain the peculiar institution. 'ley once made lohd professions in favor of the restoration of the Missouri "Compromise." Many of their Representatives in Congram were solemnly pledged to introduce a resolution for that purpose. But they went and came, and no such resolution' was offered. They were pledged to the doctrine of the supreme power of Congress over ' I the Territories, but they deserted it in voting for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, with the Crittenden Montgomery amendment. They were pledged to retrenchment and reform. Bat the first step towards it after they got into power, was to raise their own salaries, and to buy wood cuts of rats, ground squirrels, and various other animals 1 What promise did they ever make that they fulfilled ? What did they ever do but deceive? Did they ever accomplish any good? Is the country any better or worse off on their ac. count ? RATHER SPICY ! The following is said to be the substance of Gen. Gess' reply to President Martinez, of Nicaragua, who, it appears, has refused to sign the treaty between the United States and that Government, which was ratified by the Nicaraguan Assembly : "You (President Martinez) have insulted this Government by withholding the treaty, after pledging yourself to Gen. Lamar that you sent it by a special messenger, and asking the General to expedite hie journey by send ing him on the Fulton, if he were too late for the Aspinwall steamer. You also induced the messenger to believe that he bore the treaty. I You afterwards assigned as a reason for not having sent it that you had written an auto graph letter to President Buchanan, asking him to submit to certain modifications to it, which letter you never wrote. We demand, as the only reparation you can make, the return of the treaty as ratified by the Assem bly." Asregards vested rights of American citizens in Nicarauga, Gent Cass also wrote President Martinez that the Government of the United States would not submit to any arbitary action of Nicaragua—that as the country was devoid of adequate tribunals, the Cabinet at Wash ington had no other resource but to decide these matters for themselves ; and, for this purpose, a proper naval force had been dis patched to both sides of the Isthmus. INDIAN AFFAIRS The late Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Oregon suggests to the government that the troops destined to operate against the Indians in that Territory he withdrawn at once, and that our policy is to send a peacemaker among them to redeem the promises made of presents of agricultural implements, &c. The Presi dent is assured that the present hostile position of the Indians is not owing to the non ratifica tion of treaties made with them, hut proceeds from other causes, the principal of which is their fear of heinz driven from their homes, and of other tribes fr .m the Pacific coast being forced upon them. They promise to create no further difficulty if the troops are withdrawn and their rights respected. The number of Indians in Oregon and Washington Territories is said to be greatly exaggerated by parties interested in army speculations. THE HEAT ABFWAD.—Letters from Europe and India speak of the remarkable heat of the season. The accounts from India reported that the intense heat of the country appears to have a fatal effect upon the English troops. In the 25th Regiment, eighty-four deaths from apoplexy were announced. The London theatres have been deserted on account of the great heat, and several persons are report to have died from the same cause. The drought throughout France is excessive. The Seine is reported to be nearly as low as it was in 1719. In England the crops are reported to he very promising, except in districts where the drought has affected them. In Spain the harvest is very fine. AGENT FOR THE NEW GOLD MINES.-A despatch from Washington, July 28, says— " The President, before leaving for Bedford Springs, appointed John Nugent, editor of the San Francisco Herald, who is now here, agent to proceed to Frazer river to make proper representations to the citizens of the United States,, with the view of preventing collisions and outbreaks in that quarter, our government being satisfied from official and other sources that a liberal policy will be pursuad towards them by the English author- LATER FROM. MEXICO.—News from northern Mexico to June 21, reports the abdication of Gen. Zuloago and his flight from the city of Mexico, leaving the government in the hands of Cantu and two bishops. Col. Zuaza had marched upon the town of San Luis Potosi, and captured it after a feeble resistance. A considerable number of prisoners were taken. Gen. Garza took his departure from Matarnu ras on the.l9th, for the purpose of joining the forces of Gen. Vidaurri. It was believed that the combined forces meditated an attack upon the city. Gen. Caravajal had intercepted a train of fourteen hundred mules, while en route from Tampico to San Louis. The prospects of the constitutionalists generally were believ ed to be flattering. The reported violation of the territory of Zamora had been satisfactorily explained. WHAT CAUSED THE DUEL BETWEEN CLAY AND BANDOLPH.—The cause of the duel be tween these distinguished men, was the following insulting language used by Mr. Randolph towards Mr. Clay, in secret session of the Senate, in 1825 : This man—(mankind, I crave your pardon) —this worm (little insects forgive the insult,) was spit out of the womb of weakness—was raised to a higher life than he was born to, for he was raised to the society of blackguards. Some fortune, kind to him, cruel to us, has tossed him to the Secretary of State. Con tempt has the property of descending, but she stoops far short of him. She would die before she would reach him ; he dwells below her fall. I would hate him if I did not despise him. It is not what he is, but where he is, that puts my thoughts in action. This alpha bet, which the name of Thersites of black guard, of squalidity, refuses her letters for him. That mind thinks on what it cannot express, can scarcely think on him. A hyperbole fur meanness would be an ellipsis for Clay. SIMON CAMERON The Norfolk (Va.) Argus, in speaking of the bribe which the N. Y. Herald must have received to eulogize this notorious individual, " But Mr. Cameron should be'more prudent, he is throwing his money away ; he can never be nominated by Bennett's influence, and if he were, he cannot buy himself into the Pre sidency, as he did into the Senate. " Let him be nominated and we will show up some of hie corruption in connection with our Navy Yard. If walls had tongues as well as ears, those of the Gosport Iron Works could make startling disclosures about Simon Cameron's honesty." CAPITALIBTE ATTEND.—Several valuable pro perties are advertised in our columns. Now is the time for bargains in real estate. , Tas Cssu..STaratt..—The cash - system seems_ to bicitinning favor with publishers generally, throughout the country. The Independent South, published at Griffin, Ga., thus comments upon the subject Our readers will discover that we have adopted a strictly cash' system. in -our terms of subscription. Considerable experience in news paper publishing teaches us =that this is the best system for publisher and suliscriber.— There can be no mistake .here. The subscri ber who continues:to receive his paper knows that it is paid—it is his, and he alone has a perfect right to the eojcyment which it affords, unrestrained by the apprehension of annoying dues and burthensome, extra charges- He can face his publisher at - any time with an open countenancestdclear-consience. On the. other hand, the publisher knows what he is doing. He can tell at a glance the extent of his business, and how far 'twill justify him in incurring expense for the improvement of his paper, and the enhancement of the subscriber's interest. He does not have to spend one-fifth of his income in collecting what is collectable, nor make up in parsimoniousness to those who do pay, the losses upon those who do not. The system is a - very simple and easy one. In our happy section, there is hardly a man who can not easily obtain two dollars to pay in advance for a paper which he may desire to read. It it only reversing things a little, and beginning where we were wont to end—with the saving of . fidiy per cent• by the operation. This going through the country to collect up little, piti• ful newspaper bccounts, is a self-huMiliating business, for which we have no taste. We never felt like a true man while-engaged in it, and are determMed to avoid the necesity here after. We shall be pleased to -receive large numbers of cash subscribers ; to none other will the paper be sent, unless as a gratuity. AN ENGLISH LADY AND SLAVERY. — MisS Murray, in her book on America, presents to Abolitionists the following poser : Is there any part of Africa, the West Indies or South America, where three million negroes are to be found as comfortable, intelligent and religious, or as happy, as in the Southern States ? The same lady in another place has the fol lowing paragraph As to the separation of families, I see that great pains are taken to avoid that evil. I believe that it hardly occurs more frequently than in England from other causes. The factory system of England, and the ap prentice system of the North separate more families,by a hundred to one, than the slavery system of the South. There is little or no sympathy felt or exercised for the poor white laborer in the regions named—there employ ees being alone interested in making as much out of their sinews, brains and flesh, as possi ble ; for if they die from the effects of intense labor, nothing is lost; while at the South the contrary rule prevails, and in most of the States stringent laws are in force forbidding the separation of families. It is the interest of the slaveholder to feed, clothe, and treat his negroes well. It is the interest of the North ern foreign employers to grind their employees to the utmost limit of human endurance. This is the precise difference between the free and slave systems of labor. Which is the best? Yew Orleans Crescent. THE VICE PRESIDENT IN KENTUCKY —A Democratic mass meeting was held at Harrods burg, Ky., on Thursday week last, which was addressed by Vice President Breckinridge, Hon. James B. Clay, and lion. Wm. Preston' Mr. Breckinridge defended the Administration from the charges of extravagance and profligacy brought against it. Upon the Kansas question he is reported as follows by the Kentucky State Flag: " Touching the subject of Kansas admission he approved the policy of the President, and believed the measures he had proposed for the adjustment of that question characterized by disinterested patriotism and by sound practical wisdom. He then entered into an elaborate argument in support of the position taken by the administration and the South, and sustained himself . by so fair a review of the facts and by arguments so conclusive, that it was difficult to believe that any fair man could controvert his positions. Under all the circumstances, he believed, and had ever believed, that the President had recommended the wisest measures for the proper and peace ful adjustment of the difficulties." GREEN, THE DIVER.—The New York Courier and Enquirer gives the tollowing narrative of the descent of Green, the diver, to the Atlantic, lying at the bottom of Lake Erie. Poor Green ! his daring was very severely punished : "Not many months since a vessel was lost in a water whose depth at the place of the foundering was about one hundred and seventy four feet. There was a portion' of the cargo so valuable that it became advisable to use every effort possible to recover it. It was scarcely possible to do anything. It was beyond all ordinary means of human action ; it might be reached, though it would be a bold attempt by the diver. He was I sought and found, and a recompense which in any land would be a princely one, was guaranteed to him. Men will do more than ' does become a man' for rich reward. To feed him with air, a powerful pump, worked by six men was brought, and a hose doubly strengthened, was made. All the appliances that the most liberal management could suggest were ready for his aid. He was surrounded by intelligence, and courage, and humanity. He dared the deep water once, twice—seven times. The men at the break of the air pump wrought with the might of earnest strength. They fed the vital current to the bold diver, and he had the courage to trust them. Their work was his breath. When he came up he told the gentleman that superintended the trial that the sir at that depth, as the machinery forced it to him, crackled and hissed like the frying of hot fat, and that every movement of the pdnip fell on his breast like the blow of a crowbar! ' You go down no more for me,' 'said the kind hearted gentleman, who stood by him as he came on deck. In the intensity of all his experience, this too daring man besought for the opportunity for another trial. The gentle. refused, but the diver insisted on going for `himself. He went, and returned a paralyzed man ; and just holding life, now crawls along. The claret bottle at his girdle, corked tightly and empty, was filled when he came back, though the cork was not disturbed. The water had forced itself beyond power of cork or glass." A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.—Vermont has become tired of anti slavery excitement; she has had too much of the good thing, and is now. calling lustily to stay negroes from coming Read the following from the Vermont Patriot : What is to be done with this class of our population, is the point to which the attention of philanthropists and statesmen should be directed. The entering wedge to all action is inauguration of some system by which a certain stop will be put to the illegal introduc tion of colored persons into the free States. In other words a log must he laid across the track of the underground railroad. This would prevent a large yearly increase of that class of population which is hanging like a millstone around the neck of our industrial progress. Then thin the present population by fostering the colonization plan by all possible means, and the question, what shall we do with the free negroes of the North ? is in a fair way of receiving practical solution. PEACHES.—The production of. peaches this season at Kalmia, a barren sand .ridge, two miles beyond Aiken, in this State, has been most abundant. On Friday last, the 16th inst, 750 boxes and 45 baskets of peaches were picked and packed at that place, and shipped thence to Charleston, via the South Carolina Railroad, in four heavily laden cars, the boxes for New York and the baskets for Charleston estimated to return a yield of about $4OOO, no inconsiderable item to be realized ht a single shipment, from the otherwise sterile sand hills of that region.— Charleston Courier. THE CANE COTTON CROPS.--In spite of the recent disastrous overflow at the South, the yield of sugar and cotton crops is said to be very promising. The New Orleans (La.) Delta of the 17th ult., says :—" There is a good business going on for this season of the year. Cotton and sugar are taken freely at about the highest price of the season. The accounts of the growing or present crops are decidedly encouraging, and the actual returns of next nation's business will eveed any former year, unless some very remarkable intervention of nature should take place. With an average run of good weather there-is no doubt 320,- 000 to 350,000 hogsheads of sugar will be pro• duced this year." DITY AND .COUNTY AFWAIRS.

He also informed the Association that a liberal and public spirited citizen had proposed to contribute $2500 towards the establishment - of an Atheneum in thin city—which he (the Mayor) thought might be used to an mccellent purpose by-the Howard,hasociation, the old Me. ehanice' Society, and the Agricultural and Historical In stitute, provided they could be brought to work in bar- - =WAY together, and consolidate their libraries. Should a onion be effected, lie thoUght Councils would be willing to appropriate the third story of the City Hall fora 1.1. brery and Reading Room, arid for the meetings of the dif ferent societlee. After considerable discussion by John Wise, Esq., Stage Hayes, Bishop Bowman, Mr. Sanderson, Mr. McConomy, James Black, Esq., and Rev. Dr. Hodgson, a Committee of seven was appointed to confer with the Mechanics' vd the Historical Societies, relative to a consolidation—also with City Councils—and likewise a programme for the resump tion of the Howard lectures and discussions. The com mittee consists of Emanuel C. Heigart, Dui., Hon. 41, Hayes, Hon. B. Champneys, Mayor Burrower, and Messrs. Sanderson, Wise and Black. On motion, the meeting then adjourned, to assemble at the call of the President, to hear the report of the Com mittee. • FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE—Tim Costussientracr.—The annual address before the Alumni of the College was delivered on Trogsday evening, in Fulton Hall, by A. K. arsTas, Esq., of Hagerstown, He was listened to with marked attention by a Teri large and at tentive audience. The subject of the lecture was •' Social Despotisms," and his address throughout gave evidence of deep thought, and a thorough knowledge of his subject.— The style of the speaker was polished and agreeable, and the vast audience gave him the profoundest attention.— The exercises of the evening were opened with prayer by the Rev. F. W. KRIXZEI, of Lebanon. The Commencement exercises were held on Wednesday morning and afternoon, and opened with prayer by Presi dent Cisartimr. The attendance of citizens and strangers wee unusually large, and the exercises were of a highly literary and entertaining charagter. The graduating class of 1868 is as follows: J. J. Bridenbaugh, Blair county, Pa.; Henry Ityd Doug lass, Sheperdetown, Vu.; David Evans. Neffsville, Pa.; Charles G. Fisher, Chambersburg, Pa.; Theodore D. Fisher, Lebanon, Ps.; Henry L.

The following notice of the speeches delivered by the graduating class, coo clip from the Evening Express of Wednesday and Thursday The Salutatory Oration, by 11. It. Nicks, though able In matter wee wanting in delivery, so much was the latter element wanting, that the orator was heard but imperfectly in the rear of the hall. Party _Aggrandizement, by J. J. Bridenbaugh, was a well spoken oration. It was based principally upon the political corruptions of the day—the absence of honesty in the political parties of the country, and the degeneracy of our statesmen. G. G. Fisher, in an oration with the unassuming title of Saturday Night. paid a beautiful tribute to labor, whether by the " sweat of the brow or the sweat of the twain."— The orator, at the close. received 'much applause. and a perfect "avalanche" of bequeta Mormonism was apparently reprobated by Henry L. tier hart, but his delivery and pronunciation was so imperfect that it was difficult to tell what side of the question he was on. Certainly, not the least in point of ability and bold de livery was the oration by Josiah May. The glorious Key stone Stale was beautifully eulogized—her history was traced from the earliest period. Her rugged mountains, her beautiful streams, and her great progress in material interests, placed her second to none in the confederation of States. The Revolt in India formed the subject of an Axcellent oration by Lucian .1. Mayer. The speaker attributed all the difficulties in that beautiful land to the tyranny and misrule of the British government, and commended the heroism and bravery of the Sepovs who turned their arms against their oppressors. J. Marion Meckley found in T homas Hart Benton the "representative man" of American statesmen. This oration waa sound in matter, and fell from the speaker's lips in well rounded periods. He gives promise of an able public speaker. The Citizen, by Henry !dosser, was an able oration, and pointed out the duties of the American citizen, and his relation to the State. With the exception of speaking most too rapidly, it was an excelkutly delivered address, while the subject and the mariner of its treatment show much research into our political Institutions. Napoleon's disastrous Retreat from Moscow was graphi cally portrayed by Abner K. Stauffer. This oration, like the preceding one, was spoken most tee rapidly, but it held the audience in the most quiet attention. The lurid dames. the exploding of shells, the thunders of artillery, and the blood and carnage of that frightful field, were presented to the mind's eye as clearly as the moving of a panorama. The speaker possesses great powers of de- scription. David Evans, who was assigned the Marshall Oration, selected an his subject The Constitution of the United States. We may say of this address, that the honor was well con ferred. The speaker made an excellent analysis ~f that great bulwark of American Freedom—the Constitution He referred to the corruptions of party and the dangers to which the ark of the republic was exposed. but regarded that instrument as strong enough to resist all assaults. Among the excellent compositions of the morning. the beautiful tribute by John H. Wagner to the eminent Scotch geologist, Hugh Miller, certainly possessed very high merits. The Franklin Oration, the third honor of the class, was admirably pronounced by Henry K. Douglas. selecting as his subject the Pacific Slope. The speaker looked forward to that mighty seat of empire which was to spring up at no distant day along the Pacific slope. He paid a glorious tribute to American institutions, and believed hi the sta bility of the Union. regardless of the machinations of the abolition fanatics and fire eaters. H. Wiseler. of Manchester, Md., graduate of the class of 1855, concluded the morning exercises by an excellent oration—subject, Our Matta' s, in which he considered more particularly our national mottoes. It would be difficult to give an abstract of this oration. The subject was ad• mirahly treated, boldly spoken, and very popular with the audience. In the afternoon, after a brief prayer by President Gerhart, and innsie.by the band. James B. Tredwell, of Somerset, Pa., opened with an oration ou Tice Night Side of Nature, which was for the most part, a disquisition on the peculiar theories and superstitious times of Cotton Slather, and the subsequent periods of witchcraft. The Franklin Oration—Error of the Times, by Samuel B. Light, of Lebmon, Pa.. was admirably delivered. There were errors everywhere—in the State, in the Nation, in Education, in the Press—but he had great faith in the patriotism of the Americas people, and intimated there was a better time coming. The Gmnnan Language was the subject of an excellent oration in German by Thomas 0. Leinbach, of Myerstown, Pa. The oration was uttered in a clear, manly voice, and from the constant interruptions of applause, we infer that a large part of the audience understood that language. Theodore D. Fisher, of Lebanon, Pa., who was assigned the Marshall Oration, selected as his subject The Jewish 14 - ation. Tine was a scholarly effort, smoothly composed, and many passages very eloquent. but it lost its force by being uttered in too low a tone of voice. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon the graduating chess. The degree of Master of Arts was also conferred upon the following individuals: B. C. Coblentz. of class of 1853; 0. T. Everhart, M. D., 1854; Rev. W. It. Hoffer. 1855; Rev. H. Wissler, 1855; Rev. F. J. F. Schantz, 1855; Prof. Daniel A. Hollingshead, Principal of the Western Female High School. Baltimore, Md. With hardly a single exception, the graduates acquitted themselves with great credit. But the crowning beauty of the day was reserved for the last. The Valedictory. by William S. Stenger, of Loudon, Pa. who, though the youngest member of the class, proved himself one of its ripest scholars and most accomplished orators. Ina loud, clear voice, tremulous with that peculiar nervousness which characterizes all great and true orators, and a pe culiarity which they never overcome, he took a rapid glance at the leading events of the world since the forma -1 Lion of the class now graduating. From the original number, seventeen, there were but five left. He paid a beautiful tribute to the memories of the several members whom death had cat down by the way. In addressing the audience, the faculty and his class, he was alike happy in success. The oration in every part abounded in the most brilliant Illustrations, and in several parts. those referring to the decease of members and the farewell to the faculty and the college, bedimmed many an eye with a glittering tear. It was complete in every respect, and pronounced the best Valedictory uttered since the establishment of Franklin and Marshall College. The Baccalaureate., by President Gerhart. was an able and eloquent production. It was sound counsel and advice to the young men who were about leaving the Institution to fight the battle of life; and if they follow the golden precepts laid down, a bright career awaits them. The commencement of 1858 was onset the most pleasant of any we have witnessed since the establishment of Franklin and Marshall College in our midst, and will be long remembered by both students and spectators. MEETING OF COUNGILS.—A stated meeting of Councils will ho held this evening, at ',*?,4 o'clock, in their Chambers, City Hall. STORM AND RAlN.—Between one and two o'clock on Friday afternoon, this city and vicinity was visited with a heavy blow and quite a dash of rain. The dust bad a high time of it for a spell, but the rain soon put a stop to that kind of fun, and rendered out-door walk ing pleadint. The rain did not last long enough to do much permanent good to the crops, but still it refreshed them a little, and had quite a cooling effect upon the at mosphere after the almost unprecedented beat of the four or five previous days. Since Friday, we bare had several light showers, and at this writing (Monday noon) there are indications of a settled rain.

They numbered about thirty muskets. The Jackson Rifles, under command of Capt. HAM - =mu, were also out in great force, and marched ex tremely well. This company, although but a few weeks in existence, already numbers about 130 men. They have ordered 127 uniforms, and expect to have them completed In a very short time.

DONATION BY THE LADIES OF NEW HOLLAND TO THE NEW HOLLAND BRASS lixim.—The New Holland Brass Band since its organization hits met with signal success. and been the recipient of many favors both from home and abroad; but none of these favors are BO well calculated to excite the pride and encourage the members, as the dona tion of the ladies of the village made to the Band on Mon day evening last. It is not the mere amount of the present that is most gratifying to the members ; bat coming as it does from ladies who have had every opportunity to observe the progress and conduct of the Band, this gift is moot highly prized because of the good opinion and kind feelings thus evinced by the ladies for, and the encouragement it gives to. the Band. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Band, on the evening of the reception of this generous donation : Resolved. That the New Holland Braes Band is highly gratified with the liberality of the ladles of this village. and hereby offer a unanimous vote of thanks to the contribu tors of the donation rereived this evening. Resoinni, That the Band is sensible of the generosity shown towards them, and feel confident of their success so long se they have the good will of the ladies; and that no Institution can prosper without a word of encouragement from that source. Resolved, That each generosity will give a fresh impetus to the progress of the Band, who will ever bo mindful of, and grateful for, this act of kindness. It is refreshing and encouraging to any association to re ceive the countenance and support or "the fair sex;" be cause, unlike our &ex, their opinions are fcnnded on truth, love and justice--independont and free of the sinister motives that too generally actuate man. May the lives of the New Holland ladies be adnrned with many &ottani the like generosity and public spirit ; and the Brass Basid con tinue to deserve their gracious favors, and continue in a prosperous and useful career.

It treats in a clear, concise, and matter-of fact way of both' the theory and the practice of agriculture. It tells ynn how to cultivate all the common field crops, and, wild bettor. gives you the principies which underlie all the tical operations of cultivation, so that you can use ai modify any practical directions given with a full nude standing of what yon are about.
