TO DELINaIIENTS We find it impossible to effect settlements with all in debted to us, by the firstof July, as we had expected.— The making out of bills is a labor of many weeks, and as we desire ' to give all a fair chance to liquidate their Indebt. °dimes, 11;1;A:tall be under the necessity of extending the time, so that none may have an excuse for their neglect of duty., To those who have so promptly responded to our ;all— and a goodly number have done so—we return our sincere thanks, and solicit a continuance of their patronage to the establishment. Tholes who have not—and especially such as reside in distant Counties and States—we hope will re mit the whole, or at least a part of their indebtedness, without waiting for a bill from us. The paper has now been in our possession for a period of nine years. Those who have never yet paid anything are, of conrsoNndebted, even at the advance or pre-payment price, $lB. 'Subscrip tions for a shorter period in the same proportion. It would be the easiest thing in the world fur 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 -us. SPEECH OF THE VICE PRESIDENT We need hardly apologize to our readers for the space occupied on the first page of this week's paper with the great speech of Vice President BRECKINRIDGE, delivered at Flom ence, Ky., on the 24th ult., at the Democratic mass meeting at that place. Mr. B. is ac knowledged on all hands to be one of the ablest of the very able statesmen with which the country abounds, and one of the most brilliant, forcible and eloquent of all our popular orators. Perhaps, as a public speaker, his captivating style of oratory more nearly ap• proaches that of the late Henry Clay than the oratory of any other living statesman. The speech in question is admirable in tone and style, and is a complete defence of the Democratic party, as well as a most trium phant vindication of the present National Administration from the assaults of a reck less and malignant opposition. We have read nothing in a long time with so much gratification as this truly powerful effort of the gifted young statesman, and if Mr. BRECK INRIDGE had not previously established a high character, or would never make another speech, this one is amply sufficient to give him a National reputation, and to stamp him as one of the most gifted intellects of the Republic, in all respects worthy to occupy not only the second, but even the first office in the gift of the people. We invite all our readers to give the speech a careful and attentive perusal, and judge of its merits for. themselves. A. RENEGADE'S DOOM The defeat of FRANCIS P. BLAIR, Jr., in the St. Louis District of Missouri, will be hailed with delight by the Democracy in all sections of the Union. He is an unprinci pled and unscrupulous demagogue of the first water, and was one of the bitterest opponents and revilers of the National Administration during the late session of Congress. A Black Republican of the deepest dye, he is, at the same time, one of the largest slav ehelders in the State of Missouri. His successful compe titor, Mr. BARRETT, is said to be a sound and conservative National Democrat—a man of enlarged and liberal views and decided ability, whose presence in the next Congress will be highly creditable and beneficial to the people of St. Louis. The Democracy were well rid of BLAIR when he joined the Republican faction, and he has now got his deserts in a total and irrecoverable defeat. May his he the doom of all traitors and renegades from the Democratic faith. Jar The Gazette wants to know what the Journal thinks of the Tariff plank in the plat form of the People's party, as laid down at Harrisburg a week or two ago. We confess it is a little too " Democratic " to suit our taste, but so many " Democrats " have come over to our side recently, and were conspicuous in the Convention, that we suppose the resolu tion was framed to suit their prejudices.— Reading Journal. An honest confession, it has been well said, is good for the soul, and we admire the frank ness and honesty with which the Journal has let the "cat out of the bag." We hope our neighbor of the Examiner will exercise the same candor, instead of continuing to throw dust in the eyes of its readers by falsely alleg ing that the resolution of the late Black Re publican Convention is essentially the same with the protective doctrine advocated by the old Whig party in its hey-day of prosperity. The Journal virtually admits that the reso lution in question did not express the honest sentiments of the Republican party ; but then, it was necessary to succumb to the prejudices of the new converts, Messrs. REEDER, READ & CO., whose free trade notions must not be outraged by any high-toned doctrines on the subject of protection. We again thank the Journal for its candor, and would once more recommend the Exam iner to imitate so praise-worthy an example, instead of stultifying itself by attempting to prove that black is while, and white is black— in other words, by undertaking the herculean task of reconciling the Republican platform of 1852, with the Clay and Scott platforms of 1844 and 1852. But no inconsistency in that quarter is to be wondered at now, when but a short year ago the same paper was zealous in its advocacy of that prince of free traders,. DAiID WILMOT, for the office of Governor of Pennsylvania! In conclusion, we would intimate to our Reading contemporary that his " many Demo octets" who have come over to the Black Re publican side recently, will become few and far between by the time the election comes round. He will find that the Democrats of Pennsylvania are made of sterner stuff, and possess too much intelligence, to be caught with such a silly device. THE ATLANTIC CABLE It will be seen, by the news published in another column, that, contrary to expectation, the cable, which is to connect the shores of the Old World with the New, has been safely landed on the American coast, and that the communication is complete from continent to continent. As a triumph of science and enterprise, this event is more important than any that has been chronicled for the last fifty years. What may be its practical effect, how ever, or what success may yet await tho maintenance of it, are problems for the future. The line will be under English direction entirely, and within the absolute control of the British government—for both ends rest on British soil. Whether the United States are to be benefited or otherwise, by the success of this enterprise, is also a problem for the future to solve.

The Examiner continues to blow hot and cold with the same breath on the subject of the Tariff, and is squirming and twisting in every possible manner "to explain away the dubious - position assumedly it in its >article of two weeks ago, from whiph we made an ex tract iu our last issue, and which we again publish for the benefit of the people in this Congressional district. The paragraph refer red to is as follows : (ire give it verbatim et literatim.) jar 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 Antarticalv INDUSTRY, not Pennsylvania indus try. The working man of Maine and Texas has as much right to be protected as the work ing man of Pennsylvania. Now, the truth is, we did sneer at the Republican State Convention for not paying more regard than it did to the interests of our own Commonwealth, and it surprised us no little to think that the old Examiner, whilom a strong advocate of protection, should so far change its ceurse and contradict all its pre vious declarations, as to turn its back upon Pennsylvania, and become an advocate of the free trade notions of Maine and Texas. If this be not the meaning of the above para graph, then we are at a-loss to conceive why the editOr should have expressed himself in the strong and emphatic manner he did, by saying that he would have been " ashamed of the Convention if its vision had been bounded by the State line." Pray, whom did the Con vention represent—the State of Pennsylvania, or the United States? If it had been a Na tional Convention, in which all the thirty-two States of the Union were represented, the doc trine that " the working man of Maine and Texas had as much rigtit to be protected as the working man of Pennsylvania," would have been right and proper ; but, we appre hend, it is not the kind of doctrine to go before our people in a Congressional election. We electmen to the National Legislature torepre sent us—not the people of any other State— and if we have any interests peculiar to our own Commonwealth, we expect the members of Congress whom we delegate to attend to our business first and mainly. The people of Maine and Texas have their own representa tives on the floor of Congress, who will attend to the interests of their own constituents, and the interests of Pennsylvania, as a State, are the least of their concern. Then, why should we be more kind to them than they are to us ? Our doctrine is, that we should be just to our selves before we exhibit an exhuberance of generosity to others. The Examiner thinks differently, and would reverse this order of things by heing generous first, and just after wards. We are a native of Pennsylvania, 'and - love her people, her institutions, her soil, her bound less resources of wealth, &c., and are not " ashamed" to say so any where and upon every suitable occasion—nay more, we desire to see her manufacturers, her farmers, her me chanics, her laboring men all fostered and encouraged, so that our good old State may go forward in an unbroken career of - prosperity. We want to nee all her various interests pro tected alike, and no Congressman from this State ought to be ashamed to be a thorough Pennsylvanian in all his feelings. These are our sentiments. They differ widely from the Examiner. Let.the people of Lancaster noun ty judge between us. REPUDIATED AT HOME 11.0raofgre SIMON CAMERON has been looked upon, for many: years, as R. sort of imperutor in Dauphin county. But it seems there is a growing disposition amongst the people there to throw off the yoke imposed upon them by this political trickster and despot, and his apira tions for the next Presidency have received a cold shower bath within sight of Lochiol. Such a nomination for the first office in the Republic, is looked upon us too great a bur lesque even for the immediate neighbors and political friends of the%reat Winnebago chief to swallow ! Accordingly, the late Black Republican Convention, in Dauphin county, positively refused to endorse his recommenda tion as a candidate for the Presidency, and the resolution had to be essentially altered and modified, so as to make it a mere approval of his course in the Senate, before it could be passed. Simon's stock in trade is rapidly sinking below par. He will never reach the White house. OLD SERBS IN MOTION The Democracy of Berks county held their customary annual meeting, at the Court House, in Reading, on Tuesday last. Hap pening to be in that city at the time, we felt a natural inclination to see how the gallant Democrats of Old Berks conducted their gath erings. We attended, and one of the largest and most enthusiastic assemblages we have ever seen was convened, and the utmost har mony and good feeling prevailed. The meeting was addressed with great power and effect by J. LAWRENCE GETZ, Esq., editor of the Ga zette, and lion. J. GLANCY JONES. The latter gentleman spoke for about two hours, and, in a speech of masterly ab.lity,completely vindicated his course on the Tariff and all other questions upon which he has been mis represented. The applause of the vast audience at times knew no bounds. The resolutions unanimously passed are highly complimentary to President BUCHANAN and Governor PACKER, and are strong and emphatic in their approval of the acts of the National and State administrations, of Senator BIGLER, Hon. J. GLANCY JONES, and Hon. WILLIAM M. HIESTER, Secretary of the Com monwealth, as also of Judge PORTER and WESTLEY FROST, our candidates upon the State ticket. The meeting also took ground in favor of a modification of the tariff, so as to "discrimi nate in favor of our own manufactures, and secure to them the greatest possible benefit." The general impression now is, that Mr. JONES will be unanimously nominated and triumphantly elected to Congress—a post he has filled with distinguished ability for the last eight or nine years. air The copious rains of the past week have had a glorious effect on the growing crops of corn, grass, potatoes, cabbage, &c. &c., and the prospect now is that we shall have a very abundant supply. The husbandman and gardener will be amply rewarded for their toil and trouble. In this section of country the earth is literally groaning with plenty.— How thankful should we feel to a kind Provi dence for His manifold mercies showered upon us. ENLARGEMENT.—The York Gazette made its appearance last week in an enlarged and other wise improved form. We are pleased to see this evidence of its prosperity, and trust that its young and talented editor, Mr. Welsh, may find his new vocation to be not only pleasant but profitable to himself—as we are sure his labors will be advantageous to the Democratic party of York county. NEW ORLEANS AND NEW YORK.—The val uation of the domestic produce exported from New Orleans, for the three years ending on the 30th of June last, exceeds the exports from New York by $31,853,989. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH 8170. CESSFVtfY. LAID. The Old World and ihe new Telegraph-. fealty United. , Sr. Jowl's, N. F., August s.—The United States steamer Niagara arrived at Trinity Bay yesterday with the great news of the sue cess of the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise. The cable has been successfully laid, and the Western end of the cable will be leaded to-day. The signals have! been perfectly trans mitted throughout the voyage. [SECOND DISPATCH.] The following dispatch has been received from Cyrus W. Field, Esq., of the Atlantic Telegraph Company : TRINITY BAY, August sth. 1858. To the Agents of the Associated Press : The Atlantic Telegraph fleet sailed from Queenstown on Saturday, July 17th, end met in mid-ocean un the 28th. Made the splice in the cable at one o'clock, P. M., on Thursday, the 29th, and then separated, the British steam ere Agamemnon and Valorous bound to Val entia, Ireland, and the Niagara and Gorgon for this place, where we drrived yesterday, and this morning the end of the cable will be land ed. It is 1,690 nautical or, 1,950 statute miles from the telegraph house at the head of Valen tia harbor to the telegraph house at Bay Bulls, Trinity Bay, and for more than two thirds of this distance the water is over two miles in depth. The cable has been paid out from the Agamemnon at about the same speed as the Niagara. The electrical signals sent and received through the whole cable are perfect. The machinery for paying out the cable worked most satifactory; and it was not stop ped a single moment. Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Wood house, Engineers, the Electricians, and the officers of the ships, and in fact every man on board exerted himself to the utmost to make the expedition successful ; and, by the blessing of Divine Providence, it has succeeded. After the end of the cable has been landed and" connected with the land line of telegraph, and the Niagara has dicharged some cargo belonging to the Telegraph Company, she will go to St. John's for coals, and then proceed at once to New York (Signed) New Yam., Aug. 5-11 P. M.—Up to this hour we have nothing further from Trinity Bay, and the New Foundland line is nuw do sed fur the night. BEDFORD SPRINGS, August s.—President Buchanan, now at this place, received the first intimation of the successful laying of the tele graph cable through the agency of the Associ ated Press. The following is a copy of Mr. Fields' message, announcing the fact : To THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON, DEAR SlR:—The Atlantic tele graph cable on board the United States steam frigate Niagara and 11. B. M. steamer Agamemnon was joined in mid ocean July 29th, and has been successfully laid, and as soon as the two ends are connected with the land line, Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, will send a message to your Excellency, and the cable will be kept free until after your reply has been transmitted. With great .respect, I remain your obedient servant, CyRHEA. FIELD. PIIB,THER CONCERNING THE AT LANTIC CABLE. The Cable Ashore--The President to Mr Field. The President has given permission to the Associated Press to copy his message referring to the opening of com munication with England, which is as follows: My DEAR Ste I congratulate you with all my heart on the success of the great enterprise with which your name is honorably codbected. Under the blessing of Divine Providence, I trust it may prove instrumental in promoting perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations. • I have not yet received the Queen's despatch. Yours, very Respectfully, CYRUS W. FIELD, Trinity Bay TRINITY BAY. August 7.—The Atlantic Telegraph Cable was successfully landed here yesterday morning, and in in perfect order. The Agamemnon has landed her and of the cable, and we are now receiving signals from the telegraph house at Valent la Bay, Ireland. The U. S. Steamer Nl.ig am 11. B. M. Steamers Gorgon and Porquepine will leave for St. Johns. New Foundland. tomorrow. Due notice will be given when the Atlantic Telegraph lines will be open for public business. BLACK REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE The Quincy Herald remarks that Mr. Lin coln, the Black Republican candidate fur U. S. Senator, from Illinois, in his speech at Chicago said, that if the DeClaration of Inde pendence was true, the negro was the equal of the white man. He kid, further, that the right of intermarriage between whites and blacks ought to be regarded as a sacred and inviolable right. From the accounts in the papers, we conclude there must be a great many Lincolns in Massachusetts. The Boston matrimonial register shows that during the last year there have been no less than sixty amalgamation marriages ; and singular to say, they were all of white women and 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; certainly they seem to relish black kisses, from all accounts, with peculiar• gusto, and black or colored husbands are becoming a highly popular institution among them. Can any thing prove more conclusively the growing degeneracy in point of morality and decency, of pious, proper New England, as this horrible fanaticism, which strikes at the root of every thing like purity, and tends to undermine the divine laws of nature? When woman, the safeguard of virtue, and purity, stoops thus to degrade herself, perverting the womanhood within her, the degradation of man, as a necessary consequence, must follow. A CHANGE OF FRONT While the Lecompton Convention was in session, and before it was known that the Con stitution about to be framed would tolerate slavery, the Chicago Times came out with a long and strong editorial against submitting it, when formed, to the people for their ratifi cation or rejection, in which editorial the following pointed paragraphs may be found : "We think the Convention that will frame the new constitution in Kansas will exhibit far more regard for public tranquility and public honesty, by conducting their proceed= ings without any reference to the Topeka adherents ; and, as they have declared it never shall go into operation in the State, we think there is about as much propriety in submiting it to their approval as there would be in submitting it to the approval of the inhabitant of the Fejee Islands. " As the adherents of the Topeka Conven tion refuse to participate in the election of delegates, and are sworn to resist the new State government, when established, they have no right to be consulted in the formation of that State government." The Chicago Times, ,it is wel. known, is the organ or mouth-piece of Senator DOUGLAS, and speaks by his authority. It will be seen from the above that, at the time the Lecompton Convention was in session, Judge DOUGLAS was opposed, for certain specified and sub stantial reasons, to submitting the whole Constitution to the people. A few months afterward he changed front entirely on this question, and at the opening of Congress in December last made war on the instrument because it had not been submitted to the " Topeka adherents." How the distinguished Senator can reconcile this inconsistency, is more than we can divine! LEAVENWORTH, August 3.—The majority in this county against Lecompton is 1,614. Atchison, 327 ; Doniphan.sBB ; Quindaro, 130; Easton, 21 ; Delaware, 35 ; Laramie, 718 ; Franklin, 72—a1l against. The roads are in a bad condition and the returns come in slowly. OCTORARO BANK The Octoraro Bank in Chester county, commenced business on the 28th ult., but owing to the illness of the President, Dr. Dickey, who has since deceased, but few of the notes have yet been signed. Joan P. HeataN, Esq., of this county, has been elected to fill the vacancy. MINISTERS ABROAD.—Pennsylvania is pretty liberally represented abroad, as will be seen by the following list :—George M. Dallas, Minister to London ; William B. Reed, Min later to China ; Joseph R. Chandler, Minister to Naples; Jos. B. Clay, Minister to Lima; Charles R. Buokalew, Minister to Ecuador. CITY AND - COUNTY AFFAIRS. Tits Justus's Tstp.—Our letter, published last week, was dated Reading. July D. On the same day we took the care of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad •at a few minutes after 10 o'clock, a, IE4 for Pottsville, which place was reached at noon: -. POttaville, - a town 'Of some 8.000 or 9,000 Inhabitants, to surrounded on all sides by high and steep =mutates, in which there are immense beds of teal. The summit of Eiharp's Mountain, about 400 or 500 feet, we ascended in the afternoon, and also visited a Coal Mine near Its base. The slew from the top of this Mountain was magnificent. At our feet lay Pottsville, and for miles around, as far as the eye could reach, thrifty villages, largely interested. In the Coal trade, were to be seen, and any number of coal cars pausing and re-passing. We remained on the Mountain an hour, and considered ourself amply repaid for haring made the arduous and tiresome ascent. Pottsville is a very hilly plate; and to get anything of a eight of it, and the country around, the tops of the moun tains most be ascended and then the view in grand beyond description. Business has become stagnated in this uenalCy enterpris ing borough, and business men are "lying on quilt; oars" waiting patiently for a resumption of brisk Whilst in Pottsville wii,put n: s t*,,the " Pennsylvania Hall." a real first-class house In °WY - 'mpect, kept by our old friend, Mr. Hstaxer Brawl, formerly of Reading. Having seen everything that was to be seen in and about Pottsville, we returned to the beautiful city of Reading on Friday morning, and left for the rural districts In the afternoon. We visited the pretty little village of Morgantown. a most enchanting spot, and had the pleasure of taking by the hand Hon. Jona C. EVANS, the sturdy and reliable representative of Old Barks In the State Senate, and also Mr. Jelin JONI& the father of Hon. J. GLANCY Jones. Mr. Jarsa, although beyond the time of life al lotted by the Psalmist, (being now in his 81st year,) is still a very active man, and enjoys excellent health. He Is exceedingly intelligent and affable in his manners, and charms all by his fine conversational powers. We attended a meeting of the Morgantown Lyceum, of which Hon. Joust C. Evans is President; on Saturday eve ning, and were much pleased with the exercises. The young ladies and gentlemen of the village seem to take a deep interest in all matters of a nature to elevate the mind and heart. We wish the Lyceum every success. Whilst in Morgantown the inner man's wants were relieved at the bountiful tattle el Mr. DAVID PLANK, mine host of the "Mo-gantown House." We have never spent a day or two more pleasantly than at the village of Morgantown. A more intelligent or sociable people do not anywhere live. We also visited several other places in the glorious old county of Berke, as well as two or three villages in Chester county, and must not omit to mention particularly the kind treatment we received at the "Conestoga Valley Inn," of which Mrs. Sousa GILMER Is the landlady, and Messrs. Guises B. COLEMAN and Wltaitst Guatra, both thorough Democrats, are managers. This house is situated in the midst of the Conestoga Valley, one of the finest in our great old State, and strangers stopping there may rest assured that they will receive none but the best of fare and most comfortable lodgings. We returned to Reading on Tuesday morning in time for the great Democratic County Meeting, of which a short account is given in the editorial columns, and remained until Wednesday morning, when we again took the cars of the Lebanon Valley Railroad for Harrisburg, which place was reached at o'clock At 1 o'clock we took a Beat in the cars of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, and in forty five minutes were safely landed in Carlisle. Dear, old Carlisle. What pleasing reminiscences rush to our mind as we think of the glorious days of boyhood spent in thy midst. Your beautiful wide streets and handsome public squares cannot be excelled by any other town in the State. And yet we trod the streets of Carlisle with a feeling of sadness. The friends of childhood are,nearly all gone. Some have "shuttled off this mortal coil," whilst others are far In the Western wilds and other extremes of the Union. New and strange faces met our gaze at every step. But enough of this, The U. S. Barracks, one of the finest and healthiest poets belonging to the Government, was visited, and a number of recruits were noticed on horseback and foot being exer cised in various manauvres pertaining to the profession of the soldier. The commandant is Col. Crittenden. This is the officer, then Lieut. Crittenden, we believe, whom Gen. Taylor, at the Battle of Buena Vista, sent with the message, in reply to Santa Anna's demand for a surrender, "Gen. Taylor never surrenders." We had the pleasure of hearing the U. S. Band, stationed at this post, discoursing its sweet music at a Pic Mc in an adjoining wads. CYRUS W. FIELD The College grounds of Old Dickinson wo rambled over for a short time, and thought of the many happy hours "long time ago" when we gamboled upon Its beautiful carpet of gre..u. Whilst at our ".dd home" we we, domiciled at Burk holder's "Washimiton House, - a capital -institution" by the way. We left the scenes of our childhood at 4 o'clock, p. m., on Thursday, and reached home at Urn been much invigorated 'by our ten days' trip, and will endeavor if p - ssible to make the department of The Intellicencer under our charge more interesting than ever . We bespeak the kind indulgence of our readers, upon whom wr have never called in rain. for this arduous undertaking. RgJOlClNG.—lnformation having been re ceired in this city, on Saturday evening, that both ends of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable hod been successfully laid, all the church, tire bells, tic., rung nut a mnrry peal in honor of the °lent. WABAsE..—What a delightful spot indeed! We spent a few hours there the other afternoon, in com pany with two or giro friends most charmingly. A better place to "put up" at during the dog days we do not know of. The house is furnished in the best style, and situated in an exceedingly healthy neighborhood. The table, to speak to epicurean parlance, -fairly groans under the weight of good things ;" and the attention paidto strangers and boarders is well calculated to make Wabash, as It really Is, a favorite place of resort Every varietyof amuse ment is afforded to visitors. ON A BLTST.—The Intelligeneer of this morning lion the fallowing: 'An APOLOGY —The Aram' has been absent on a '•bust" for a week past, which will account for any short coming , in the local department of the present issue of The Inkill gencer. When lest heard from he was luxuriating in Old Berks. but had some notion of paying a flying visit to Schuylkill county." 'Me Senior is invltli^us. "On a bust,' especially down in New Orleans, is often spoiled in connection with waltz. ing. As the Junior don't dance, it must mean something else in this case. Ask the Generall—Tuesday's Express. Thank you kindly, friend GEIST, for the opportunity of making clear to your extremely dull comprehension what that "something else" is: The Junior was on a glorious cold water "bust;" although, at some places, the article (water is meant of course) needed mixing badly! The "General" is also of the same opinion. Are you satisfied with the explanation? THE GREAT Pic Nic OF THE SEASON.—The great Pic Nic of the season was held yesterday at Rocky Spring. The partb•ipants in the grand gathering ware St. Joseph's German Beneficial Society of this city, and the St. Peter's Society of Columbia. A glorious social com munion was had. Each Society had a band of music, viz: the Fencibles' and National Bands, and a fine display was made on the principal thoroughfares of our city in the morning. preparatory to proceeding to the Plc Nic grounds. It is estimated that from 1000 to 1500 persons joined In the festival. The Germans are truly a people for enjoy ment. They have the happy faculty of knowing how to drive 'dull care away." PARDONED.—Governor PACKER, at the re quest of a number of our most respectable citizens, has pardoned the young man, Henry Rote, convicted at the April sessions of the larceny of a small quantity of old copper from Samuel Diller, of this city, and sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment. The sentence was con sidered unnecessarily severe, inasmuch as It was the first offence of the kind committed by Rote, and the Value of the property taken did not exceed $3. 31r. Diller himself was one of the petitioners for his pardon, and we are grat ified that the Governor has liberated him. He had already been in prison between three and four months, and WWI sufficiently punished for so trifling an offence. We hope that the lesson taught the young man will be of use to him through all his future history. ANOTHER SUICIDE.—This morning, about II o'clock, a man apparently from forty to fifty years of age, speaking the German language, called at the Fruitville Inn, Manheim tap., about two miles Am this city, and asked the girl for a bottle of porter, which she procured for him. He drank it and ate a cake, after which he asked a little boy whether there was straw in the barn. He then went into the side room, took off his coat and vest, and went out. Mr. Stouffer, who was lying down at the time, in an adjoining room, arose some time after and proceeded to his barn, where his attention was arrested by a pool of blood In the entry immediately under the funnel leading to the hay mow. On ascending into the mow, he found the man dead, with his throat cut, and also a cut in his side, both wounds having evidently been inflicted with a sharp knife. The deceased is a stranger to Mr. Stouffer and his neigh bors, but he was seen going out from the direction of Lancaster by Mr. SiVarr, residing in the neighborhood.— His coat and vest, which were loft in the side room, are tolerably good. Mr. Stouffer came into town t'•ia after noon for Coroner Summy to hold an inquest.— We.doesday's Express. DANIEL DOCHRAN, charged with throwing his wife out of the window and thereby causing her death, had a hearing on Tuesday last before Alderman Van Camp, and was committed finally to answer. The woman's dying declaration was that she was the wife 'of Lochran, and that he threw her out of the window. He denies It and says that she threw herself out. ODD FELLOWS' CELEBRATION.—A celebration gotten up under the auspices of Little Britain Lodge, No. 420, I. 0. 0. F., will be held at Fairfield, Drumore twp , on the 19th inst. A procession of the members, in full regalia, will be formed, and an address delivered by a prominent member of the Order. The address will be delivered in a beautiful grove, about half a tulle from Brownstown. It is expected that a number of the Order in this city will be in attendance. FOUND DEAD.—An old colored man, named Peter Albright, was found dead in his own house in the village of Safe Harbor, on the 29th tilt. Peter was one of the ..fixtures" of the village, and his death leaves a vacant place not easily filled, even in that section of the county where darkies do moat abound. - CONVENTION or LYCEIIMB.—The Lancaster County Convention of Lyceums will meet at Oak Shade Grove, near Christiana, on Saturday the 4th of September. All Literary Societies and Lyceums in the county are invited to send delegates to the Convention. Tlis PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD-411IGRANT TaAvxt.—Daring the month of July, 1828 emigrant pas sengers passed over the Pennsylvania Railroad.

The funeral to, place on yesterday afternoon, and his remains were interred in the German Lutheran Cemetery, South Queen street. The funeral cor tege was composed of a large delegation of Odd Fellows, Jackson Rifles, and the New Holland and Conestoga Centre Bands, of which he was Teacher, besides a numerous body of relatives, friends and citizens. The Jackson Rifles' Band acted as a guard of honor. Mr. Ilepting had a fine repu tation as a musician, and was highly esteemed by those who knew him intimately. A FAMILY PoisoNED.—An Irish family by the name of Sullivan. living in German-st., between South Queen and Prince. on Friday evening immediately after supper, were taken with violent pains in the stomach and vomiting. The family consists of four. husband, wife and two children, all of whom felt the pains about the name time. The supper wan very light. being merely bread, butter and tea. The daughter who prepared the supper states that there was a peculiar taste in the tea. hut did not suppose there was anything of a poisonous nature in it. Dr. P. Cassidy was called in and found the symptoms similar to those produced by arsenic or corrosive sublimate. and administered antidotes usual in such canes. The family is much better, and, we believe out of danger, though Mr" Sullivan is much prostrated. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS PAST, says Satutalay'B mariettiaa. the smoke houses, eellars and hen rousts of our citizens have been nightly visited by some unknown per sons, and the frequency of the thefts put "everybody - on their guard. Almost every old musket in the place was put in readiness to welcome the thieves. On Wednesday night constable Shields and some others, while patrolling the town, observed three persons in the yard of the Rail road Hotel; they succeeded In arresting one of them. a negro from Columbia. named Snively, who, upon having a revolver presented to his face, made a "clean breast" of all their operations. Ile gave the names of the two daikies that escaped and says that they have a regularly organized gang at "Tow hhilP'—that they nightly divided int separate parties—one gang for Marietta. another to Wrightsville, Newtown. Ac., and then returned to bead quarters to prepare their chickens, hams, A:c., for Market and divide the balance. Can it be possible that such a gang could escape the vigilance of the cinch tallied of inde fatigable police of that borough! Scarcely! While Tow Hill" is in Coluinbia, the police reporter of the Spy should be glad to sing " dumb" of Marietta doings. ALL OF THE FURNACES, in our neighborhood, says the Marlottian, with three exceptions, have blown out. and one of those three, Dr. Haldeman's, will also blow out in the course of a couple of weeks. Seven furnaces within the space of three miles, out of blast. A BOLD CASE OF FORGERY.—A short time ago, a bold act of forgery, displaying much adroitness and c unning, was perpetrated in this county. The facts of the cme as for as they have transpired, as we have been able to ascertain, are no follows About two months ago a Jew, residing in Columbia, and generally known as Frederick A. Miller, came to this city. and in accordance with a preconcerted plot, visited one or two legal gentlemen to'see if they would procure a certified copy of the deed of a property belonging: to Mr. Wm. Eckert, Jr.. of Paradise township. as he wished to purchase it, and desired to know if he had a clear titl..--free of all encumbrance.. In company with two legal gentlemen, he had a certified copy of the died taken according to the forms, and it Is supposed that he immediatly went to Columbia. forged a mortgage by means of this certified deed, for i-3.000: had an accomplice to personate Mr. Eckert: and then went before F. ft. Ebur, Esq , where the legal acknowledgment of the Instrument was mode. The mort gage was then brought to this city and properly recorded In the Recorder's office. Miller signing the receipt in the Entry-Book. This far no suspicion had he'en aroused, and the fact that he had legal gentlemen to examine the records, showed him to have been careful and guarded In his acts. He even went so far as to pay one of his legal advisers six dollars for assisting In the examination. After he had the mortgage recorded, he took it to Phila delphia, and proposed selling it for jewelry. The merchants to.whom he made the offer, wrote to an attorney in this city, to see if the title of the property upon which the mortgage was eiven, was good. and to furnish all the infor matlon requisite. An answer was sent that the property reterred to was worth ten thousand dollars, and that the property referred to Was worth ten thousand dollars, and that the mortgage offered for sale was the only one. Miller then received in exchange some twenty-five or six hundred dollars' worth of jewelry, with which lie left and has not been heard of sinre. The mortgage to entered as having been given on the 14 tb June Last. The land upon which it is given, is divided Into tracts, one containing one hundred and seventy.arin acres, and the other thirty-five, more or lees. and Is situ ated in Salisbury township. This is the first instance o f the kind on record. and is considered by those who ought to know, the boldest piece of forgery ever committed in this county.—lnland Daily Timis.

A PHIL&DELPHIN'S VIEW op L&NCASTER.— The following paragraphs we clip from a letter in The Press of Thursday lest The writer is a Philadelphian, and. it will be seen speaks In the meet flattering terms of our city and the surroundidg country : Continuing our Journey, we pass through Downingtown, Parkesburg and some other email places, and stop at Lemon Plice. This we do, that we may go over to Paradise.which, [remits name, ought to repay us Ibr our delay. This is a email town, or rather &village, about one mile from Lemon Place. Its principal attraction is Eden Hall, a seminary 'for young ladies, under the charge of Rev. Dr. Killikelly. The seminary is situated in the upper part of the town, about a quarter of -it mile distant from a beautiful little stream. This school is a moat excellent one, and is intend ed principally for members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The teachers are all well qualified for their situa tions. as is shown by the attainments and progress of the Pupils. There are no stations pf any particular interest or im portance between here and Lancaster, where we now find ourselves. The streets here are all regularly laid out at right angles, the principal of which are King and Queen streets. The Court-House, which formerly stood in the centre of the city, and in which the State Legielature met for some years, has been torn down, and a new one erected at the corner of East King and Duke streets. This is a splendid edifice of red granite. and with the exception of the one at Indianapolis, is the finest in the United States. From the Court House, the most natural transition is to the Prison, although It is situated nearly a mile distant, also on East King street. It also is built of red granite, with a handsome octagonal tower in the centre, front, be hind and above which rises a tall watch-tower, from whose top a magnificent view of the surrounding country may be had. The Reservoir Is just above the Prison ; and the grounds being prettily laid out, with a fountain, walks and seats, aro a favorite place for evening promenades. The water is forced Into the basins, of which there are two, from the work, on the Conestoga creek, about a mile distant. Thia water, with ice in it, ie generally preferred by strangers, as most of the spring and well water through this notion is tinctured with lime. It Is very healthy, but the taste to many persons is unpleasant. The Conestoga mills and Lancaster locomotive works are well worth visiting. The former, three in number. are situated on South Prince street, and furnish the celebrated cotton sheetings, EP ex tensively used in our city. One of the most delightful places of evening resort that T eve: witueserd is Breneman'e Garden. This is the property of one of the most public-spirited gentlemen of Lancaster. It is much larger than our Parkinson's Garden wee, and is laid out with much tante. It is tilled with gorgeous and rare flowers, which charge the evening breezes with sweet perfume. During one evening of my stay one of the most beautiful of flowers, the night blooming cereus, (C. Grand( Borns) opened and displayed its charms to a host of visitors. Every night this garden is illuminated with Chinese and other lanterns, which diffuse a mellow, pleasant light over the whole place. Besides this. there is a fountain continu ally throwing forth its spray jets to cool the p-rfumed air. and by its cheery ripple to soothe the spirit harras,ed by the cares of day. While we are feasting the outer man by these scenes of fairy beauty, we may also feast the inner man by 'partaking of the fine ices and refreshmente served by the lessees of the warden. The environs of Lancaster are not devoid of interest to the sojourner. There are two cemeteries which Ile just out of the city—Woodward 11111 nod the Lancaster cemetery, which are well planed and laid out. with a number of fine tombs and monuments. 4)11 the Marietta turnpike. shut one mile distant, is situated the well-known Franklin and Marshall Collette. mud about a half mile further nu is Wheatland. famed so the residence of President Buchanan. Since the election of Mr. Buchanan, Wheatland hes been the Mecca of Lancaster county—a pilgrimage to which travelers are continually making. There a number of churches In the city, and toot of them with bells—one having a full chime. St. James Church is under the rectorship of Res Samuel Bowman, D. D., the assistant bishop elect of Pennsylvania The lawyers number about seventy five, while the do.!t trk are atstut forty. Wabnok, about three miles from Lancaster, on the banks of the Cottestovi. is a pleasant waterimz place. The scenery around is beautiful. and the hotel will afford ample accorm m idations for about three hundred. Some twelve miles from Lancaster are the ,lebruted Ephrata Mountain Springs, the favorite summer resort of many of our citizens The view fr m the Oi.servatory. probably fourteen hundred fret above w der level. is very grand, embracing a scope if from forty to seventy $7B 942 85 We will now go to Safe Harbor, situated at the confluence of the C,onestoga with the Susquehanna. Here I think is some of the most beautiful scenery In the State. The well known Safe Harbor Lon Works are here. and a portion of the works occupy an acre of ground under one roof. A party of three of us left Lancaster about fire o'clock in the morning to enjoy a day's fishing at this place. We put up at the Harbor House, the obliging proprietor of which sup. plied us with tawkle. and procured a man to find lait and to boat us to the fishing ground. We continued our fishing ou and off tinting the day, and caught between three and four hundred fish, principally rock, some of which weighed two. three. and four pounds. A large mess was served up for breakfast the next morning, in fine style. at Anthony Lechler's Lancaster County House. in Lancaster. I am surprised that an enterprising company of men have not cane up here, bought the Harbor House, and fit ted it up. Why. at an outlay of some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. it would make the finest watering place in the country. The house is at the mouth of the Conestoga. about fifteen feet above the water. At the back of the house rises a •ers liigh hill, about the top of which are several fine springs. front which water could be forced through the whole house; and an observatory built on this mountain. would dive a most magnificent view of the country for miles around. Opposite to this, on the York county side of the Susquehanna, which is here, about two miles wide, is a range of wooded hills, on which squirrels and such game abound, and once in a while some larger, as fox and deer. are seen. while in the fall and sprint, wild pigeons and ducks can be shot in any quantity. There is splendid boating on the river, and unrivalled fishing—shad In season, rock fish, carp, perch. and many other species abound. Even now there Is a very fine natural bathing ground across the Conestoga. on the Susquehanna, with a fine sa'ndy bottom, and a shelving shore; and besides, from the Brest supply of water on the hill behind the Harbor House. baths b....,u•trort,•d at many point.. on the Lill itself. CRICKET MATcu.—The 2d annual match game between the Conestoga and Keystone Cricket Clubs, took plate, on Tharwioy last, on the grounds of the Key stone. resulting in the defeat of the latter, with seven wickets to hall. Whilst the Karnali°ns were fielding they were interrupted by the heavy shower, which per haps caused their defeat. The !catch was played between the let eleven each Clot..

The usual specific, sulphur, has proved in the present instance entirely inefficacious. Th e utmost consternation reigns in the town, and the inhabi tants are leaving in crowds by every attainable convey. ance. Some of the moot public spirited and devoted citi zens, however, rentals, and are unremitting in their attention to all those who need assistance. If the present panic continues, in a few days there will not be- left in the town a sufficient number of living to bury the dead. This sadden eruption of pestilence is unaccountable; uo cases of the disease were known until Thursday evening when a number of persons. a moment before apparently In perfect health, were noticed to labor under the usual terrible symptoms, and in spite of every care and every conceivable remedy. fell victims to the awful scourge. There are many theories attempting to account for the sudden appearance of the disease In this hitherto healthy nrlghb,rhood, the most plausible of which is, that it was introduced by a vagrant who appeared in the streets on Thursday after noon, and represented himsef, as from the Western Shore of Maryland. Considerable reluctance has been manifested by travelers, since the receipt of the news here, to pass through the in fected town. Passengers can reach Baltimore from this place by way of the Tide Water Canal. This visitation is a heavy one upon our neighbors, and we trust that their kindness towards Columbia during Its hour of sore need will not be forgotten. Our citizens should be ready In proffering relief, and we doubt not will come promptlyto the scratch. IQ- If the Columbian, intend to take the advlCe of the Spy. and come up to the '` scratch" manfully in assisting their neighbors of York, we hope they will make 'them selves scarce in Lancaster, at least until after they have undergone a thorough purification 1 We are not ambitious, in these digging's, of using our finger nails for any such purpose. As Accrorkr av Famm Staxer.—On Tueaday evening. after the arrival of the Harrisburg Accommodation Train, an accident happe.ed to the houses of the Washinaton House coach, which, by rare good fortune only. escaped being very serious. The coach was near the train below Black's hotel, the horses standing upon the bridge over the large culvert at thin point, when the supporting timbers of the daring next the street gave way, precipitating the horses into the sewer one upon the other. The omnibus was tilled with lady passengers, who wete very much alarmed, but the vehicle was secured from following the horses down the drain, and its freight relieved from a proem ions and not very pleasant berth. Ropes were greedily procured and after consid=table exertion the horses were drawn from their perilous situation. The work win not of an easy accomplishment, from the confined space in which the ad male were Jammed, and but for their admirable docility would have been possible only at serious risk of inint7 both to the horns and their couture The wood work of the bridge, except the door, which was but recently was, upon examination, found to be almost, and in the CM of the fractured timber, entirely rotted out, and the whole culvert in a Trost dangerona condition. The so cident cam s o near proving a serious. perhaps fetal one. that the boutugh authorities wisely delded upon securing the sewer from future liability to similar mishaps. The council at once ordered the drain t, be "robed. and our efficient Supervisor, of whom it may not be out of place to say, that he is the mart active and able officer that has served the borough In a similar capacity for yearn. had the Job under headway at an early hour next morning. We are grateful to learn that a few seratcrew were the only injuries sustained by Col. Herr's fine homes. His omnibus runs regularly, and is decidedly a popular insti tution. rue Lffritsksit Cannon Tll26oT6lftliT.—The Interior of the Lutheran Church, is Second street, has just been handsomely decorated in fresco, repainted and slightly altered, the character of the work being such as to deserve special notice and commendation. The walls of the body of the church are divided between the windows by fluted pilasters, which support a heavy cornice, and the ceiling Is pannelled as are the walls between the pilasters. The pulpit recess. by the magic of perspective, has been deep• erred fourfold, and by the management of light and shade, the artist has produced an effect, the admirable deception of which requires a practiced eye and a steady gaze for detec tion. Around the arch above the pulpit. In delicately shaded and appropriately ornamented letters; is the in scription " Worship the .I..rci in the Beauty of Holiness " The pulpit has been repainted, a pore white with a.deli cats touch of guilding on the projecting ornaments, the effect of which is remarkbly chaste. The prevailing color, or rather tint of the decoration is neutral, and with a sub• ;lard light will give an air of quiet and repoee particularly appropriate to a church interior. The seats have been re painted In a sober eolor ' and the front of the gallery has been Inhered seven inch es, giving its occupants an uninter rupted view of the pulpit. The frescoing reflects greet credit upon the artist, Mr. John J. Selling, of Reading, and the appropriateness of the improvement Is In no small measure owing to the Pastor of the church, Rev. John J. 31enges, whose taste indicated the general character of the decoration. lanalar SQUABX Aug. a 1858.-31165a5.

PETERSON Si BROTHERS, you Chesnut Street, Philadelphia. The De Kalb County (Illinois) Sentinel, (a Douglas Republican paper) published at Sy camore in that State, is great un negro equality. Hear what the editor says in his issue ofJuly 26th : " Our education has been such, that we have been rather in favor of the equality of the blacks ; that is, that they - should enjoy all the privileges of the whites where they reside. We are aware that this is not a very popular doc trine. We have had many a confab with some who are now strong 'Republicans ;' we take the broad ground of equality, and they the opposite ground. We were brought up in a State where blacks were voters and we do not know of any inconvenience resulting from it, though perhaps it would not work as well where the blacks are more numerous. We have no doubt of the right of the whites to guard against such an evil, if it is one. Our opinion is, that it would be best - for all concern: ed to have the colored population 'in a State by themselves, but if within the jurisdiction of the United States, we say by all means they should have the right to have their Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to vote for President. With us, worth makes the man, and the want of it the fellow.' We have seen many a 'nigger that we thought much more of than of some white men." It_ls stated, says the New York Herald, that - General O'Donnell, the new Prime Minis ter of Spain, is about to send ten thousand men to Mexico, to enforce the claims of Spanish subjects, and demand reparation for past insults to Spain. This is no doubt an old story revived by a new Minister, for the purpose of engaging public attention at home, while he is busy dissolving the Cortes and arranging for new elections. A war cry is as popular in Spain during an electioneering canvass as it is anywhere else. It would be very desirable that such an expedition should be ,ent forth by Spain against Mexico. The effect of it, in that Republic would be like the effect here of sending an English expedition to reconquer the old thirteen colonies. Public spirit in Mexico would receive a new life. Parties would suddenly sink their differences, and the whole country would be aroused, not only to organize itself, but to oppose the enemy. The popular feeling in Mexico is that they have whipped the Spaniards out of the country once, and that they can do it again, and repeat it as often as occasion may require. We hope General O'Donnell will not give up his enterprise c. Bee,r. b. Lowry. Byes " THE DEMOCRACY OF OHIO A4Kl P —tjtrder 'this caption The Statesman has an excellent article, showing that the Black "Republicans" are grievously disappointed and mad because the friends of President Buchanan in Ohio do not quarrel with the friends of Senator Doug las. The article to which we refer concludes as follows : Why, then, should the Democracy of Ohio suffer themselves to be distracted and divided? There is but one reason. That is the Black " Republicans" earnestly urge us to do so. We cannot accommodate them. We distrust these Greeks who bring us presents. Our policy as a party has never been adopted to suit the notions of our adversaries. The Democracy of Ohio understand thembelves ; they know their power, their present advan tages and their future interests too well and thoroughly, to split their organization into pieces ou the eve of a canvass in which they know they will be victorious, if they remain united. It is time enough for us to consider whether we shall go into an eternal war about the Presidential succession after we have beaten down the common enemy. Democratic harmony in Chit) from this time until the second Tuesday of October will insure us a Democratic triumph. Ohio Democrats are animated by a love of their State. We know well what we can accomplish in the control of national affairs when we move together as a solid, united and victorious party. It is two years yet until we shall be called upon to express our voice in a National Coniention. We shall speak at the right time, and speak in such a manner that our will shall be poten tial. Meantime we shall all act together in the present canvass. The Black "Republi cans" may lay that flattering unction to their souls. j A runaway slave was discovered An the attic of a Methodist church at Washington, D. C., on a recent Sunday morning.
