Sewal’.of Boston, F. P. Blair, Jr., of St. Louis, aud Cassius M. Clay propose to raise by subscription $16,001), for the purposo of circulating 100,- 000 copies. In pamphlet form.of Helper's work, entitled “ The impending Crisis of the South.” The circulating of 100,000 copies of this work, is a pretty good “ blind.” The Democracy of the South love a Black Republican abouc as well as they do a skunk, and all such, or other abolition'- *• documents”— sent South— will raise such a atorm as will blow their sectional party “on the other side of Jordan.” Sectionalism and fanatism will never be’tolerated by„ the Union loving populace of the Bouthern States, and all the Abolition “ documents,” manu factured to order, from thla time until their Anal day In 1860, will not weigh a feather with the Constitutional , Democracy of the glorious sunoy South. When that ”im- i pending Crisis” comes upon us, the South will be ready to meet It, without the aid, instructions and means, of the negro-worshipping fanatics of the North. “ Helper’s Work” is a bad. botched Job, and will find a much better field to expand his “gas” on the Green Mountains of Vermont, than among the Industrious citlieos of the South. We are ready for the ‘‘impending crisis of the South.” In convention,at Springfield, Ills., on the 224 Mr. C. D. Hodges, of Green county, was nominated for Congress, by the Democracy of the district, to fill the place made vacant by the recent death of Major Harris. The Indiana Legislature seem determined to make a I mark. They have been patching up everything to catch ! the wind, and have finally elected—yes, elected H. S. Lane j and Wm. McCarthy United States Beuators iu place of ! Messrs. Bright and Pitch. It will be remembered that ! Gov. Willard previously vetoed the bill providing for the ! election, which, we suppose the ambitious members passed I a second tlmo—prove to do “ the Btate some imaginary ' service” iu some shape, If in their breeches. It may bo S well enough to say to your readers that the two gentle-; men above named, Messrs. Bright and Fitch are the true and legal representatives or the people of Indiana, and will continue such until the time allotted them has expired. The action of the Black Republicans in the Legislature to 1 the contrary notwithstanding. j The public life of Gen. Sam Houston will expire on the 4th of March next. He h&s purchased extensive lands on Galveston Bay, whither he will remove to ebgage exten sively In Sheep grazing. The General is now in his 66th year. There Is soma talk of running Hon. John Beil for Con gress, In the Eighth district of Tennessee. Ur. Moseß Montgomery, an old citizen of Columbia, who, we believe, left there some twenty years ago, is now loca ted at Lake City, Minnesota. His many friends in Colum bia'will be pleased to learn that he still lives. There was a time when it coat something to live in the the West, but things are settling down, «a population increases, and lands open for cultivation. The following scale of prices in St. Paul, Minnesota, compared with last year, as follows: Flour, which was $0 last year, is now $4 50. Potatoes then $l, are now at 40c. Mesa Pork, then $27, is now $l6. Butter, then 35c. is now 20c. Renta have been reduced from 25 to 30 per cent. Day labor,which was lost year *1,50, now gets 90c. The Fuller House charged last year $7 a week, and the Winslow $6; and the former Is now $5, and the latter $4. The cost of living in Bt. Paul is one-third less than last year. It is very evident that lands in Missouri and tho adjoin ing States are tending upward. This rise has come much sooner than we expected. But the Immense capital lying idle on deposit, must be tamed to something soon, and we think a start has been made. Those holding lands are now asking higher figures; and those who were waiting for land to be forced upon the market, are opening their eyes. We see no reason to change our prediction, made some timo since, that those who bought first bought cheap est. Tb» following sale has been made since our last; John Bhoppard sold his farm, adjoining the town of Charles ton, Mo., to Messrs. J. L. Moore; 4 Bros., for the sum of $5,000, being $66,05 per acre. ' f The purchasers and speculators in “ Bit" or 12% cents laud—under the Graduation Act—are becoming alarmed, since the remarks of the Commissioner of Lands at Wash ington, in his annual Report. Those who for a time wero certain that Congress would confirm their titles, aro uow a “Uttle mixed " in their opinions. Eor our part, we can not see how Congress can do anything else than confirm them. Should they fail to do that, the money paid into theU.S. Treasury will have to be returned, aud : more over much of this land has been re-sold, and the parties purchasing have removed on it with their families, and if not confirmed those parties will be compelled to give up their lands, with tho loss of improvements, &c. If the law hasnot been faithfully carried out as intended, the fault doos not lay with the purchaser.for that which he buys and pays his money for, Is his, and he can so dispose of it asjhe best sees fit. A refusal on the part ot Congress to make good the titles for which they have received their money and their price, will throw open an endless chain of law-suits, and which Government, in nine cases out of ten will be the sufferer.

When the j ary returned to the cuarfc they were near him, and with tearfbl and palpitating hearts waited the resalt of the verdict, which they dared not hope v/ »nld be one nf not guilty. When it was announced, a deep cry of anguish escaped them, aod “ Oh, pray forgive him,” was the Heavy Robbery on the Cars.— An old lady, named Catharine Morris, was robbed of $896 on the cars, between Cincinnati and Pittsburg, a few days since. She was on her way to Providence, R. 1,, to see her son, and being wholly without funds, sr.uced from Pitteburg on foot to complete her journey.— She reached Williamsport, in Lycoming county, where her strength gave way, and she . wan unable to proceed further. Mrs. Morris is fully seventy years of age, anil a most lady. Mr. Crittenden and the Presidency.— The New York Commercial Advertiser, a leading opposition paper, opposes the preten sions of Mr. Crittenden to the Presidency. It says: Several reasons might be assigned for this opinion. Ooe must suffice for the present. Mr. Crittenden is too old for the Executive office at this day. Unabated yet mature pysical vigor is scarcely less necessary for the efficient, uccupancy of that office, with its present extensive range of duties and respon sibilities, than a ripened judgment and an •active intellect. There must be muscle in the arm that holds the helm of the ship of the state in these stormy times, as well as clear vision and professional skill in him who directs the vessel's course. The Presidency of the Union is no resting place for age in these days of commotion and conflict, and the struggles that ever accompany rapid and vigor.'US progress.

Nature sometimes does cure; but she will cure much more rapidly if assisted by some such remedy as Dr. Keyser's Pectoral Syrup, which is com pounded for those very diseases of the lungs and bron chial apparatus, so prevalent iu every part of the United States. We advise our readeis, therefore, who may be afflicted with coughs, bronchial irritation or any disease of the longs or wind pipe, to have recourse at once to this remedy, which Dr. Keyser has prepared with great care for the cure of those cases.

Ai ligcncer aad Vol REPORT OP THE DIUECTOEB OF THE Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company, Read at a M a eling of the Members of that Institution, on the 'lsth day of December, A. D 18-55. being their Annu al Meeting for the Election of Officers. IN compliance with the established cus tom of the Association, the Directors of the Farmers’ via aal Insurance Company submit to the Members the Annual Report of their proceedings during the past year. The performance of this dnty will, in some mea sure, only be a repetition of what has already been brought to the knowledge of the members by the treqnent calls for the paymeat of taxes, levied for the purpose of remunerating losses sustained by members of the com pany; and notwithstanding that this is the legitimate object and business of the company, it would have been more agreeable to 'he Directors, as well as to each indi vidual member, if there had been less occasion for the exercise of those functions, which constitute the princi ple duties of the Board. In that respect, the transactions of companies of this character, differ from almost all others; for, as'a gen eral rule, the more business is transacted the greater the profits; but with insurance companies, especially those of the mutual order, the less they have to do the greater will be tbeir saving, which is equivalent to gain. The losses sustained by the Company during the year now drawing to a clo-e, have been unusually severe;— and, are the more annoying and vexatioas, because prin pally occasioned by the malicious acts of dastardly mis creants, who dare not avow their purpose: and who, though tbeir d .eds come to light, still escape the pun ishment which their crimes merit, under the veil of im penetrable darkness. The firing of Buildings by the wicked incendiary, has been carried to an extent that has created an alarm amongst the peaceful citizens of this county. Rone felt secure, no one could tell where the next blow would fall or who was marked as the next victim of their malignant and d abolical disposition. A dread of some unforeseen calamity, an apprehension of some impend ing evil haunted the imagination of the timid, whilst the most intrepid were dismayed, by the contemplation of injuries inflicted by unseen hands which no precau tion could prevent, and the perpetration of altrocities which no ordinary degree of vigilance could suppress, or overtake by adequate punishment. Under these circumstances, the Commissioners of the county, acting as the guardians of the citizens, invited the different Insurance Companies to a consultalion in reference to measures that might have a tendency to arrest the progress of this featful and spreading evil. The Directors of this Company met the Commissioners with that view, and after discussing various proposi tions, agreed to offer a reward of two hondred dollars for the apprehension and conviction of any person that should wilfully set Are to any building insured by this Company. The Commissioners at the same time offer ing a reward of flve hundred dollars for the conviction of any person that shonld wilfully fire any building within the limits of the county. This would in effect give a reward of seven handred dollars for the convic tion of any person who would set fire to any building insured by the ‘‘Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company.” What effect these measures may have in staying the hand ruthless incendiary remains yet to be seen. In the opinion of the Directors it can do no possible harm, and may be the means of deterring the out-laws at whom U is aimed, from a farther prosecution of this nefarious vocation. The first loss sustained by the Company,since the last report, was by a fire which occurred in the dwelling honse of Henry -Shelly in Rapho towDsbip, on the first of February. The house was not entirely consumed, but materially iniured. The Appraisers estimated the actual loss at six hundred dollars, ($600,) aud tbs Directors paid him four hundred and fifty dollars, ($450) being three-fourths of the actual loss. The fire was accidental. The next fire waa the barn and wagon-shed of John Frantz, of Manor township, which was destroyed on the night of the second of February. The barn was new. large, and well finished, and with the contents was valued by the Appraisers at four thousand and sixty six dollors ($4066) on which the Directors paid three thousand and fifty, ($3050). This was supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The next fire consumed the kitchen and wash-house of Henry Heidlebaugh of Peqoea township, on the night of the twenty-fourth of February. The dwelling house, though near by, was saved, by the exertions of the family and neighbors, aided by a providential change of the wind at the time of the fire. The loss was esti mated at three hundred and sixty dollars, ($360) and the Directors paid him two hundred and seventy dol lars, ($270.) The fire was supposed to be accidental, bat tbe family could not account for its origin. On tbe ninth of March, a fire occurred in a barn in East Lampeter township, whioh had been insnred by Benjamin Eshleman and Cyrus N. Herr. The barn and wagon-sbed were entirely consumed. No account coaid be given of tbe origin of the fire. By some it was supposed to hare been accidental: whilst others at tributed it to incendiarism. Messrs. Eshleman and Uerr had sold the property some months before the fire occurred, though the title had not been executed to the purchaser. Under these circumstances a difference of opinion arose in regard to the liabilities of the company. Some contending that the policy wa6 rendered void by the sale, and that the purchaser must sustain the loss he not having renewed the policy, and no notice of the sale having been given to the company; while others maintained that Messrs. Eshleman and Herr, not having divested themselves of the title, could hold the Insurance Company for tbe loss. To this view of the case the Di- rectors were at first inclined, bat finding a strong cnr rent of opinion in tbe opposite direction, they hesitated, and finally, nnder the advice o' counsel refuged to pay. Suit was then brought by Eshleman and Herr, and by tbe consent of conusel on both sides, tbe Appraisers of the company were directed to ascertain the actual dam age, which they reported at twelve hundred and seventy five dollars, ($1276). From this report, Eshleman and Herr appealed, and tbe Bubject was referred to three dis interested persons, according to the rules and b> -laws of the company. The referees estimated tbe loss at fonr- teen hnndred and ninety-six dollars, ($ i 486.) At this stage of the proceedings the subject rests at present. No adjudication by the court has yet been bad. and tbe Directors cannot tell how the controversy will terminate. The resistance to this claim has not been made from any disposition on the part of the Directors to avoid the payment of any legal claim that maybe brooght against the Company; bnt for the purpose of having a legal decision upon a controverted point of law, the proper understanding of which i-i very important to all Insurance Companies as well as policy holders. Ac cording to the By-Laws of this Company a policy Is rendered void by the alienation of the property insured bysaleor otherwise. The point in question is,whether ench alienation is effected by a simple contract for the property, or must be consnmated by the execution and delivery of the title, before it invalidates the policy. The Directors have authority under the Constitution and By-laws of the Company, to levy taxes for the remuneration of losses, bat they have no right to impose taxes for the payment of property, for which the Company is not justly and legally liable. Hence the necessity of having this mooted question properly ad judicated. On the night of March 24th a fire occurred in the store of Elias H. Witmer at Millerstown, Manor twp The contents of the store were eatirely consumed, one half of which had been insured by this company The appraisers estimated the actaal loss at five thousand three hundred and thtriy-ihree dollars ($5333), On this the Directors paid two thousand dollars ($2000) being three-fourths of one-half of the actual cash valne! Ho clue could be obtained in regard to the origin of the fire. On the 27th of March, a fire occnred on the premises of Jacob B. Shuman, of Manor township, by which a dwelling house was consumed. The appraisers report ed the aciual damage at four hundred dollars. ($4OO ) and the Directors paid him three hundred, (30U). ’ By the next Are, which occurred on the Slh of July he Barn of Henry Galen of <Martic township was de-’ stroyed. The damage was laid at five hundred dollars, ($500), and the Directors paid him three hundred and’ seventy-five dollars, ($376). The barn was fired by a simple-minded young woman, an inmate of Mr Galen’s family. She has since been convicted upon her own confession, and sentenced to the Lancaster county prison for the crime which seems to have been committed without any apparent motive. When this fire occurred the Directors deemed It inexpedient to levy a tax for so small an amonnt, and therefore authorized the Treasurer to borrow such sum as might be necessary to meet the liabilities of the Company. The last fire In this long catalogue of disasters, de stroyed the barn of Joseph Bnckwalter of East Lampeter township, That occurred on the night of the ninth of October, and was also the work of an\ncendiary. The actual loss was reported by the appraisers at niue hundred dollara, ($900), and the Directors agreed to pay him six hundred and seventy-five dollars, ($676 ) Several small flies occnred, occasioning but’trifling damage which will he adverted to in the Treasurer’s accounts. To remunerate those heavy losses, the Directors were obliged to levy three different taxes, of the first two being each one dollar on every thousand dollars of the valuation of the property Insured, the one waa made payable on the first day of May, and the other on the tenth of July. The last tax being fifty cents on the thousand, was made payable on the 20th inst. Of this a consideaable portion is still unpaid, as also some of the former taxes. The precise amount yet to collect, cannSt be ascertained by the Treasurer at this time as several of the Duplicates are yet in the hands of the collectors. The Treasurer’s account exhibits the financial condi tion of the company at this time. The accessions to the Company during the past year has beSn less than in some former years, and the amount of property withdrawn has been greater than usual yet the aggregate value of property Insured has been some what angmented, as will be seen from the following statement.
