AUDITOR GENERAL: RICHARDSOH JL. 'WRIGHT, PbU»da, SURVEYOR GENERAL: JOHX ROWE, Franklin. ADDRESS OF THE STATE COMMIT- The Democratic Stats Central Committee have eet to work in earnest. At the call of the Chairman, a meeting of the Committee was held, in Philadelphia, oh Thursday last— an unußnally toll attendance of the members present—when an Address was read by Mr. Ttlxb, and unanimously adopted. This very able production will be found in another column, and to it we- direct the attention of all our readers. This Address will be follow ed up by others at proper intervals , and no effort will be spared by the Committee or its talented and energetic Chairman, to place the people in possession of all the toots necessary to a proper understanding of the issues involved in the present campaign, as well &s to rouse and animate' the Democracy to a faithful and vigorous discharge of their duty. liASCASTEIL 00. LEGISLATION, In the House-the following acts were passed finally: oh Wednesday last: To incorporate the Marietta, Manheim and Mount Joy Turnpike Company. To incorporate the New Ephrata and Litiz Turnpike Company. To incorporate the Lampeter and Bridge port Tnrnpike Company. To incorporate the Pequea and Beaver Valley Turnpike Company. A Supplement to the Conestoga and Beaver Valley- Turnpike Company. A Supplement to the Quarryville and Uni corn Turnpike Company. This supplement also passea the Senate finally. An.aot to change the name of John H. Smith, of Conoy township, to that of I. Hoff man Smith. In the Senate, Mr. ScheafFer read in place a supplement to the aot incorporating the Oolnmbia and Chestnut Hill Turnpike Com pany. The act to pay the claim of Thomas and Henry Baumgardner, for damages sustained on the Columbia railroad, passed second reading on Thursday. DINGBRFIELD DISCHARGED. The trial in the case of Daniel Dangerfield alias Webster, before Commissioner Long etreth, in Philadelphia, on the charge of being a fugitive slave, was terminated on Wednesday afternoon, by a discharge of the prisoner— the Commissioner not being satisfied that the proof adduced on the part of the claimant was sufficient to identify the man. The discharge of Dangerfield was celebrated by an outburst of enthusiasm from a motley orowd consisting of negroes, “ strong minded” women and crazy abolitionists, such as was never before witnessed inside or outside of a Court of Justice; and the demonstration then and subsequently, during the evening, in hauling the negro through several of the principal streets, accompanied with yelling and shouting from hundreds of black and white throats, waß a disgrace to the city of Philadelphia. We do not think that such riotous conduct would have been tolerated in any other oity of Pennsylvania. We are very sure it would not have been in Lancas ter. THE NSW BRITISH MINISTER. Lord Lyons, the newly appointed British Minister to succeed Lord .Napier, arrived at Washington, on Thursday, morning, and was introduced by the latter to Secretary Cass the same day. On yesterday he was formally introduced to the President, and presented his credentials. THE ELECTIONS The eleotiQn in Connecticut resulted in the success of the Republicans, but by a reduced majority over the Congressional election of two years ago. The Republicans have also carried Rhode Island. 1 The IfrSofclyn Charter Election resulted in the complete triumph of the Demooraoy by a large majority. The municipal elections at Cincinnati, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Portland, were carried by the Republicans. Brownlee, the Democratic candidate for Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, was elected last week by 224 majority over his Republican opponent. ' Milwaukee Election. —Herman L. Page (Dem.) has been eleoted Mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by about 3,000 majority. The Democrats have also eleoted a majority -of the City Councils. Last year the Republicans carried the same city by over 2,000 ! THE PEACE CONGRESS There is to be no war in Europe, says the Evening Bulletin, notwithstanding all the alarm and panic that existed in the Bourses and in the political circles all over the conti nent. A few words of the French Emperor conld terrify the money changerß, 'and give stocks a turn down. But the prospect ot war was unpalateable to the people, although the spunky Sardinians, who felt proud at the alliance of their prinoess with a French prince, seemed really eager for the fray. So there could be no war, and even the French Emperor, whose words and look on the Ist of January gave the first war alarm, has thought it best to yield gracefully to the outside press ure ofthe manufacturers and merchants of his own country, and the conservative govern ments of other countries. The usual panacea for the internal disorders of the European body politic is resorted t(Tto cnre the present disirder. A Peace Congress is to assemble, and the last accounts represent that even Austria, who was the insulted party, has consented to submit her complaints to this tribunal, and to send a representative to it. Sardinia and the other second and third rate powers are claiming to be.admitted to it,''and the prospect is that the Peace Congress of 1859, wherever it may assemble, will be one of the most extraordinary “ happy families” of the European nations that has ever been seen. England and Austria, France and Russia, Sardinia and Prussia, will all be brought to hobnob together ; while Bavaria, Saxony, Sweden, Spain, and the rest will be knocking at the door and claiming to have a card of admission, in virtue of their past, present Or expectant glory.. A Narrow Escape. —The loss of two or three thousand of the Bepubliean majority in the New Hampshire negro party, does not seem to. penetrate the breasts of their letter writers with emotions of the keenest joy. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Bepubliean says: “ the Republicans are rejoicing over New Hampshire; but isn’t the escape a little narrow, .andOhe margin unpleasantly close, and the majority disagreeably diminished f” *•?* by an advertisement in another column,; that an.extensi.ve assortment •of Fruit and Ornamental Trees will be sold at auction to-morrow morning, in this city. OF THEDEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE* In pursuance of the published call of the Chairman, j there was a meeting of the Democratic State Central Com mittee* at the Merchants' Hotel, in Philadelphia, -.on Thursday last, Robert Ttuer, Esq., in the Chair, vOn motion, the permanent organization was effected by the appointment of&ecretaries, viz:,Jaoob.Turhkt, of Weet morelahdf j. G: Furze, of Columbla,'N.P. Prtzbi iah, of Pittsburgh,'mid'JoHM HoDagoN, of Chester, and the salee : tftm of (he necessary Subcommittees. Aftar.some time spent iaconsidering the present aspect of the .campaign, and the disorganizing movement of certain disappointed and reckless pollttdabs, for a Conran tioa to be held at Harrisburg, on- the 18th insk, the. following Address was Unanimously adopted and ordered to be'signed by the Chairman, on behalf of the Committee; and published in the Democratic journals of the State: ADDRESS. \ fellow Democratt of Pennsylvania: It is known to yon all that the Democracy of the State recently assembled in Convention at Harrisburg, under .circumstances of the gravest importance. 'The Convention met with a fnll attendance ox Delegates, transacted its important business with despatch and with dignity, to the chagrin and consternation of onr enemies, and the cordial satisfaction of our friends, and concloded its harmonious deliberations with the assured eoncdrfeuee in the wisdom and efficiency of its proceedings, of the Democratic press and constituencies in every part of the Commonwealth. Every intelligent and honest Democrat of Pennsylvania has bad reason to regret and deprecate the. stem exigent. des of an Issue—actually originated years ago—that-pro- r doced, for a time and to a certain extent, a difference of opinion among friends, contributing among other causes to onr temporary defeat in this State, and the consequent ephemeral popular supremacy of the two combined opposi tion factions, now seeking to obtain possession of the Government, not by virtue of any plan of sound states manship, or by maintaining correct principles, but by means of clamorous assaults of mere numbers attracted together by lawless excitements, and by mercenary calcu lations of power and plunder. It was therefore a subject for general congratulation, that the Convention was enabled in a spirit of calm deliberation and mutual explanation on points of expediency, without the least abandonment of principle by any one, to adopt a platform and course of action, so entirely acceptable to the true Democracy in every section of the State.. In conformity with those sentiments of renewed confraternity of feeling and objects, the Convention resolved, with one voice, that the once disturbing Kansas qnesteon, now rapidly disap pearing by the peacefal appliance of legal solution, should be treated in a party sense, as settled and past. No candid man can or will deny that the entire proceedings of the Body indicate an earnest purpose by all who were engaged In framing them, to harmonize the party, and to compact and energize its forces on an honorable and rational adjustment of the only Issue, by the unwise, nneceesary and unprofitable obtrusidh of which the Democratic organization might have been impaired, and Its future efficiency prejudicially affected. The Convention consisted of Delegates accredited from every county In the State. These Delegates, among whose names may be recognized an an usual proportion of the ablest, most experienced and faithful leaders of the Democratic host, were all appointed by and presented proper credentials from the respective county authorities. Not a suspicion has been or can be raised respecting the regularity of each County Convention or County Meeting, thus participating through their seve ral representatives in the State Convention; nor has any one thought of questioning the absolute regularity under the rales and usages of the party, of the State Convention itself, in every particular of its origin, constitution and conduct. The body, as yon perceive, was thus perfect as a party organ, consisting of one hundred and thirty-three members, one for each Senatorial and Legislative District, and each representing a defined number of voters free to act and choose for themselves, in the uncontrolled express ion of all shades of opinion. The resolutions reported by the Committee, the fairly appointed organ of the Conven tion, were passed without a tingle dissenting voice, and we have not since heard a murmur of disapproval In relation to them, uttered* by a single Delegate who sat in the Con vention. Richardson L. Wright, the nominee for the office of Auditor-General of the State, and John Rowe, the nominee for the office of Surveyor-General of the State, were chosen with entire and striking unanimity, one of them having been always regarded as a Lecompton and the other as an antl-Lecompton Democrat. In fine we can aver with actual truth, that there was not one vote taken by the Convention on any question whatever, having the remotest reference to the subject, from which it does not unequivocally appear, that the whole Kansas issue was regarded as fully ended and happily taken out of the way. But since the adjournment of the Convention under the inspiring auspices we have described, a state of circum stances has arisen in connection with which it has been deemed a prudential if not necessary measure, to call together the State Central Committee, with a promptness somewhat unusual, and at no small inconvenience to some of its members. We are quite sure that no instance can be shown In the whole course <Jf the history of the Demo cratic Party in Pennsylvania or elsewhere, in which a reckless attempt, however feeble, has been openly made by persons professing to be Democrats, to disorganize and destroy their party by advising, instigating aDd engaging in a plan of resistance to the acts of a Convention, while incapable of denying its regularity or validity in any respect whatever. But so it is, that a few corrupt and designing men, who there is every ground for believing have long ago contracted with the Opposition to ruin the Democratic party, if their selflsh intrigues can accomplish it. have seized upon a pretext by which- they trust to be able to defeat our excellent ticket, by imposing their disloyal views on all unreflecting Democrats they may be able to approach, and who may be unfortunately ignorant of the scope and bearing of their contemplated operations. And what is their shameless pretext for this fresh exhibi tion of treacherous disaffection? It so happened that a member of the Convention, acting no doubt under what he conceived to bo his duty, after the Convention had unani mously disposed of the Resolutions agreed on in Committee, offered of his own volition and upon his individual responsibility, a resolution that if adopted would have bound the Convention, and every member present, and also, by direct implication, the Democratic Party of the State, by an endorsement In general terms of what has been called the “ State Policy” of the present Executive. Now, notwithstanding the fects already stated, and the further fact perfectly conclusive, as it must be, on the question of the motives of the Convention, that a majority of the thirty-seven votes recorded in favor of this resolution consisted of those formerly known as Lecompton Democrats , it is falsely and impudently assumed as a sufficient justifi cation for their indefensible behavior, that a negative vote thus forced upon the Convention againrtjts wishes and its evident policy of silence, shall not oinyYbe considered a simple refusal to endorse the so-called ‘Estate Policy” of Governor Packer, bat shall be construed by some etrange , calculation unknown to common sense, into an insulting renewal of the defunct Lecompton and anti-Lecompton difficulty. But this is utterly absurd, for two plain reasons, because, first, as the vote on the resolutions constituting the embodied sentiments of the Convention clearly Bhowe, there was not a Delegate, whether once Lecompton or otherwise, who was not for them; and secondly, because not ouly the resolutions, hat tho whole proceedings, indicate a full fraternal accordance between all the Delegates in Convention, forgetting past differences aDd preferring to re-establish their old cordial relations with a certain victory before them, rather than to become by senseless feuds, the wretched victim of their hereditary enemy. Nevertheless two.or three political desperadoes, tolerated by few and respected by none, are inflamed with hopeß of encouraging disorganization among us, and alreadygloat in imagination over the prostrate ensigns of our noble old party, while counting in their dreams “ the thirty pieces of silver” to be paid by those who have purchased their two willing degradation to use, then to despise them. Accordingly these men, recently voting and working, as they persistently did, against the candidates of the Democracy, and in favor of those of our unprincipled opponents, and thus basely assisting to inflict the deepest injuries upon ns, have undertaken by a mean, dishonest and cowardly profession of Democratic opinions, in defiance of every principle of honor and overy hitherto sacred rule of party discipline, to involve in their indecent and dishonorable plans and petty fortunes, the characters of such respectable Democrats as, beguiled by their misrepre sentations, they may be able to persuade to meet them at Harrisburg on the 13th of April inst., to aid them in con summating tho disreputable business to which they have sold themselves, while ostensibly to “vindicate” the “State policy” of Gov. W. E. Packer. But let us inquire briefly and dispassionately what shape these disorganizing proceedings is likely to assume as a practical idea? What do the Bogus men propose to do when they meet at Harrisburg in their quasi Convention ? Each and every person is coaxed and begged to go there, who may like to attend on the occasion either for the busi ness or the fun of the thing. Can such self-constituted Delegates pretend to be able to show any constituencies to whom they are responsible, or by whom their acts may be popularly reflected, and by which their extraordinary as sumptions can only be relieved from contempt. Might not a gathering of Know Nothing-Black Republican-Fußionists just as well meet together,and call themselves a “Demo cratic” Convention, under pretext of “vindicating” Gov ernor Packer's “ State policy,” and he entitled to equal consideration ? There can be, we submit, no doubt of this. Besides, in the absence of certificates of election, usuallv presented by those claiming membership in a party Con vention, or of some other process of ascertaining the politi cal character and antecedents of the general company, how shall any deluded, honest man, perchance really desirous ofvindteationg Governor Packer’s “State policy,” as a Democrat, and not proposing to identifly himself with the Opposition, leel even tolerably safe in venturing into so perilous a place ? May we not also be permitted to know . what are the principles to be displayed by this anomalous movement ? Are they more or less, do they agree or differ with those held by the National Democracy ? Is the inten tion of the movement confined to the promotion of mere personal, factious ideas, or can it boast of any principles or policy looking to the honor and the true interests-of the country ? If it be denied that this meeting, sought to be convened at Harrisburg, be intended to orgaoize a distinct faction by which to undermine, if possible, and to weaken tho Democracy, what, then, U it, that the managers think to do ? Is it simply their object to adopt a string of resolves “vindicating” Governor Packer’s “State Policy,” and then to adjonrn tine die t With a body of self appointed delegates, without credentials or certificates, and of every variety of political antecedents, what will such a “Demo cratic ” endorsement be worth to the State policy of Gov ernor Packer ? If not this, or if more than this, is it their ‘ purpose to nominate a ticket separate and distinct from that put forth by the Democratic Btate Convention, and to run it on the principle ofa popular “vindication ” ofGov vernor Packer's “State policy?” And if such be their expectation, will any true friend of Governor Packer con sent to it; or what Democrat who enjoys the confidence and respect of bis associates, with whom he has labored shoulder to shoulder for so many years, in. so many glori- ous contests, is ready, in fqrtberance of the personal malice or ambition of unworthy malcontents, to lend himself in directly, to the Opposition, on the terms of endeavoring to defeat at the polls a perfectly unexceptionable Democratic ticket, in order that the nominees of the Opposition may be eleirted, no matter who they may .be? Or are bogus operators after “ vindicating ” to the best of their ability, Governor Packer’s “ State Policy ” to nominate the ticket of the Democracy ? This would be really a farce, and wonld overwhelm the poor, beggarly concern, in the broad est and most pitiful ridicule. Be assured, Fellow Democrats, that this “Bogus -Conven tion ” has been concocted entirely outside of the pretext on which it is pretended to be based. It is an audacious effort on the part of certain schemers to use Governor Packer' and his friends, for their own secret objects. No true friend wonld desire to place him in such a position. One of the main objects of these plotters of mischief Is, to distract us and to defeat onr ticket in the coming election, but the immediate step is by means of this specious invention of an indiscriminate mass meeting, to transfer every Democrat who may be weak enough to yield to their wicked profes sions, and to take part in it, body and soul, with themselves, to the ranks of the Opposition. And we pray yon, who may be disposed to listen to their representations, to be warned in time qf their destructive machinations, and to flee their approaches as yon would the poison or stiletto of the as sassin. Democrats of Pennsylvania, with energetic preparation and with true hearts, we have victory within onr grasp.— Onr lines broken, not by the enemy, who had not the strength to do it, but by ourselves, have boon re-established Our veteran legions, never yet beaten on an equal held, have been filled up with fresh levies—the old banners are being advanced, and we hear the steady tramp of a con -1 qnerlng army, and behold those flying hordes whose rob ber-watchword is not patriotism or honor, nor the power and prosperity of the nation, but private booty, the oppres sion of classes, and lawless agitation against Governments and Constitutions. The time has gone by for small things and small men. We have something more serious to en gage our attention and our efforts than the mi sera bis trade carried on by .base politicians, who are always in the habit of making their personal successes in acquiring offices, or personal disappointments, the test of the trne value of principled or party. The Constitution—the Union—our free Institutions—our prosperity—the security of property —cmr liberties—are all cast In the balance of a few years of political history. Should Pennsylvania, the hitherto great High Priestess of Peace and Law abiding conservatism, veil her glorious countenance in sorrow, and surrender her trust and her persojn to the sectional Moloch, all is indeed lost! Bally, then—let all good men rally under the broad and glorious flag ofthe Democratic Convention. Its Plat form is the offloial proclamation of principles and meas uree.by the Democracy of Pennsylvania. The candidates nominated by the£Convention are upright, intelligent and able man, without a stain on their reputation. Is it possj ble that you.cap be prevailed upon to desert lt,and to bow down before the double-faced Idol of Know-Nothing Black Bepubliean devotion—a thing you otherwise despiße—be cause it may please .certain vain apostates to throw a cover - over its detestable features? No tnan who respects himself! will be guilty of such moral and mental obliquity. Btana fast with the old Democracy * and participate in onr ap proaching triumphs 5 for as certain as onr country survives,. we also shall rise in the majesty of a just cause. Should you triumph, with us, you will stand iu the front ranks with the victors; bnt aid the Opposition to .compass their ends, and, if no worse come of It, your part of the rejoicing and profit will be, to march-in the rear of a “ fusion ” -pro cession, with the blush of shame upon yotir faces, hated and despsied by your mongrel associates. BOBEBT T f LEE, Chairman . lIKOI TO OCBi. THE PLAN OP OPERATIONS. •The New York Courrier dts Etats Unis, of, Wednesday, contains a long article -re-assert-, irig its report of a new. expedition organized in this country for inyi&ingand wolutioniz-. ing the Island of Cuba. After declaring; that the denials of other journals are untrue, it proceeds, to describe the expedition, and we translate fromitthe following \y’ “ Not only is there nothing imaginary in the expedition we have spoken of; not only does it exist; not only is it organized; but at the moment we write, it is already in course of partial realization. At least one ship has goße from New : York with a chosen lot of emigrants ; other departures are only waiting fur a signal. The plan of operations is for the party to land at. a point on the south side of the island, to acquire Puerto Principe, and to establish themselves there with the of informants that are provided-far on the spot.. This, point attained, -they • will rest there without venturing qnqnjconntry. and will await the explosion‘or the ansnrrec tional movements on which'they think they can oobot in different parts the colony. It is, in every a second‘edition of the abortive attempt of 1854, which .cost soma uf the first Cuban families so many tears.l But we are assured that there is now, to encourage the ulterior hopes of the coup do main , a secret understanding extending indirectly to the official regions of Washington.- The leaders of. the project have confidence that as soon as the flag of the ‘lone atari is raised in Cuba, the United States government will re gard the conflict : entered upon as a war of independence, and will allow a free course to the ‘active sympathies* of the citizens of the Union towards the inßnrgents. Then the preparations now silently made will be set in motion, and the fillibuster parties, transform ed into ‘reinforcements for the liberating army/ will set out simultaneously from the principal American ports. •“ We might present more fully the preoise details; but in such a matter the rightß of the journalist are limited to general facts. To go further would be to become an aconser, and that shall never be our part. If we are so explicit to-day, it is because we can scarcely anticipate but a few days the time when what we announce will become a matter of general notoriety.” The Courrier then proceeds to consider the people of Cuba, which it divides into four olasses : The first are the pure Spaniards, who consider everything for the best, in the best possible of allcolonies. This class includes the public officers and employees and the greater part of tne mercantile community, many of whom, born in the mother country, have become Cubans without ceasing to be Spaniards. Even the new immigrant Catalans and Bretons, who were diesatisfied with the government ot home, have become intractable patriots since they left their country. This class, says the Courrier , instead of thmking.pf colonial separation, would rebel; even against a decision of the home government separating Cuba from the crown of Castile. * The next olass is the powerful one of the wealthy Creoles, who, while equally opposed to annexation to the United States, are anxious for certain reforms, such as the reduction of the military element of the government, the admission of native Cubans to public offioes, and the right of representation in the Cortes at Madrid. Next to these reformers comes the olass that rejects both the Spanish and the American name, and wishes for independence, pure and simple—Cuba a free, sovereign Republic. The fourth party is the American party of annexation, which is small and un important. The other partied are united by their race and their religion, and would, together, resist any encroachment of the Anglo-Saxon race and the Protestant religion. The Courrier regards a revolution and annex ation as wholly impossible. FROM UTAH. Advices bayp been received in Washington from Utah, bearing, date March 1. Cold weather still continued, and snow had fallen at frequent intervals during a week previous, with a prospect of continuing. At Camp Floyd the health was generally good, and the army in fine spirits, notwithstanding thb long winter. Funds had become scarce with the soldiers, and the arrival of the paymaster ardently both by them and the tradesmen in the vicinity, At a place near the camp, known as Adobic town, a Mexican had been killed a few days before by a man named O’Neil, and a company of citizens started in pursuit of the latter, with a deter mination of lynching him. This Adobic town is represented as being the scene of frequent disorders, and General Johnston has placed several provost sergeants in it as a police, to prevent difficulties between the soldiers and citizens. The laxity in the ad ministration of law, arising from obstacles placed in the'way of the territorial officers by the Mormons, is a subject of complaint, and horse-stealing, robberies, attempts at murder, &c., are noted as circumstances of altogether too frequent occurrence. The Indians in the neighborhood of Santa Clara, in the nouthern part of the Territory, had shown signs of disorder, and were order ing settlers from their lands, in some instances running off their cattle and horses; but a movement of the troops was ordered with a view of reducing 3 them promptly to quiet. Mormonism is represented as being decided ly on the wane, and apostatizing from the errors of that sect has beoome quite common. The Mormon leaders, however, still exhibit feelings of hatred towards the Government, and do all in their power to thwart its pur poses in that region. Brigham Young is said to keep himßelf very secluded, and, it is supposed, is afraid of some of his own people. It is believed that he intends quitting Salt Lake City at an early day, either to retire to some place where he may enjoy the wealth he has obtained from his dupes without danger, or else to found a new settlement in some region where he may avoid Gentile influence. PEACE WITH PARAGUAY, Intelligence from Montevideo to the 10th of February announces a peaceful adjustment of the difficulties with Paraguay, through the friendly offices of President Urquiza, of the Argentine Confederation. The' precise terms of the settlement are not stated; but it is known that ample indemnity has been con ceded to the family of the person killed on the steamer Water Witch, and to the Ameri can company represented by Mr. Hopkins. The trial of the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles for the murder of Philip Barton Key, was commenced at Washington on Monday week. The first three days were taken up in empanneling a jury. The examination of witnesses was commenced on Thursday, and, from the large number summoned, will probably be continued for a week to come.— So far as the trial has progressed nothing new has transpired. The general impression is that the prisoner will be acquitted. War batweem Domingo and Denmark* New York, April 6. Advices from San Domingo to the 15th of March, announoe .hostilities between Domingo and Denmark. A Danish envoy reoently arrived in a war vessel, and peremptorily demanded $150,000 as indemnity for the seizure of two Danish vessels by President Baez, during the recent revolution in Dominica. President Santana offered to refer the matter to arbitrators. The Danish functionary de clined, giving the Dominicans twenty four hours to comply with his demands, with the understanding that a refusal would be followed by a blockade of the port. The Dominicans forthwith decided in favor of war, and commenced manning their batteries. There was but one Danish war vessel in port. [second dispatch.] Additional .letters received here from San Domingo, state that previous to the Danish action against Santana's government, the French demanded the concession of all the gold, silver, copper and coal mines of the republic. The .writer is entitled to full credence. Severe Fbobt. —A severe frost at Augusta, Ga., on Thursday morning last, .did consider* able damage to vegetation in that vicinity!

Opening op a New Hall.—r The American Mechanics opened their new Hall, in Gyger & Co.’s Busking Building, East King street, on Saturday evening last,>hd hundreds of citizeos availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing what was to be seen. The Order deserve praise for the adinirable arrangements and beauty of their room and antechambers, and will, no doubt, in a short time feel quite comfortable in their beantiM new home. Interesting Religious Exercises.— On Sat tirday evening last some seventy persons were admitted to membership In St. John’s Lutheran Church, (Bev. Mr* Stock’s,) West Orange street. The exercises on the occasion were of a 'deeply interesting cbarcter. The venerable Dr. Kubts, of Baltimore, editor of the Lutheran Observer, preached the sermon, and a most solemn and Impressive discourse it was. After the sermon, seventeen persons were baptized by the pastor; twenty-dx were confirmed, and twenty-seven were admitted on certificate. This large. accession has been in a great measure the result of the, recent revival enjoyed in St John’s Church. On Sunday, morning' and evening, Dr. Kcaiz agaiir preached to crowded houses. Immediately after the morn ing's service the Lord’s Supper was administered. Reri J. H. Mxngju, of Columbia, was likewise present and assisted In the solemn.exercises. The labors of Mr. Stick have been crowned with extrt rrdinary success during the short time he haß been in our midst His congregation is one of the most enterprising and efficient In the city. We are glad to know that the persistent efforts of certain churches in Baltimore and Philadelphia to obtain the services of this able, eloquent and popular minister have proved unavailing. A Fine Reception. —Rev. We. H. Elliott, Paßtor of the Duke Street M. E. Church, arrived in this city with his family, from Philadelphia, on Friday eveniDg last The Ladles connected with the Chnrch gave the reverend gentleman and family a splendid reception at the Parsonage, in Walnut street We are told by persons who were present, and whose digestive organs are fully capable of judging, that the tables fairly groaned under the weight of “good things,” and were everything that epicurean taste could have derired. —Mr. Elliott, by his suavity of manner, gentlemanly, Christian deportment, and fine abilities as a preacher, has already taken a deep bold on the affections of his coogre gation. The Prison Case Again. —We Buppoßed, and so stated at the time, that the white-washing done by the Board of Inspectors would not relieve Mr. Oadwell from the ugly charge preferred against him by Mart McLadqh un. For this we were taken very severely to task by the Lancaster Dn&n, one of the organs, par txcdlenu, of the Keeper, the writer for which paper exultlngly proclaimed his innocence of the alleged offence. We stated also that the public were not satisfied with the ex parte investigation of the Board, and that the end of the affair was probably not yet. This Is now reality.— The girl returned to this oity on Tuesday last, and next day made oath against Mr. Oadwxll, before Alderman Carpenter, charging him with being the father of her child. The Alderman held him to ball for his appearance at Court to answer the charge. The story she tells since her return, if it be true, and It has the appearance of being a straight forward, honest statement, places both Cadwell and ex- Aiderman Waltsr G. Evans in a most unenviable attitude before the community; bat as the subject is to undergo a legal investigation, before an impartial Coart and Jury, we forbear any farther comment at this time.

Educational.— At a meeting of the City School Board, held on Thursday evening last, Miss Mart Davis, of the Female Primary School, West Division, was promoted to the 4th Asslstantship of the Female High High School, vice Miss Henrietta Cromwell, resigned.

The schools are represented as being in a flourishing condition. Not so Dumb as he Looked. — For some time past there has been located amongst ns a little-Ger man man, named John Hemans, a carpenter and builder, who recently went it strong in the contract line. On the lsl inst., he made a profession of clearing up matters, but couldnot obtain a settlement from his debtors, until he produced the receipts of his workmen and his creditors, who otherwise might lien the buildings he had worked on. Accordingly to grease the skids which he meant to slope, he obtained from those creditors acknowledgments that he bad paid them, riving them “dne" bill'slor, the same, and making them believe that this was the d'hlyjway he could obtain the money to pay them with; but,upon their coming together according to appointment, to receive their dues, they suddenly discovered that some eight or nine persons had been “ sold.” Two of them named Haifie and Stlffie took out a warrant ag&iost Hemans for obtain ing money under false pretenses, bnt the accused had pre viously started off on some important business, which is likely to detain him a very long time. He has also deceived some of his best friends who became bis security and left them to pay for their misplaced confidence.— Friday's Ex press.

From a cursory glance we are satisfied the con* tents are admirable. Blackwood baa always been a favorite of ours. The following is the table of contents: Chalons—The Camp; Clothes and Scarecrows; The Turks In Kalafat, 1854.—Part I.; The Casts and Creeds of India* The Luck of Ladysmede; Italy; Her Nationality or Depen. deuce; Dasent’e Tales from the Norse; Napoleon 111, and Europe. PETERSONS’ CHEAP EDITION OF WAVERLY NOVELS.—We have received Rob Rot, by Sir Walter Scott, being the third volume of T. B. Peterson A Brothers’ new and cheap weekly issue of the JWayerly Novels, by Sir Walter Scott. Giving truthful delineations 0 f people, character and manners—ever upholding the causa of religion, morality and virtue', they Bhould be welcome at every fire aide where precepts are taught The great barrier, heretofore, to the introduction of these works, has been the high price at which they have been held, but this objection is being now overcome, by the publication of these works of Scott in such a form and at each a low price as to bring them within the means of all persons whatever. To Messrs. T. B. Petzbson A BaoraißS, of Philadelphia, more than all other polishers are w§ indebted for this new feature in American literature. The works of Charles Dickens, Charles Lever, Mrs. Sonthworth, and many other popular writers, haye been issued from their press in a cheap form, and their last enterprise is In giving to the public, the works of Sir Walter Scott, com plete and unabridged, at the very low price of 25 eta. each- The edition embraces the whole of the author’s works, and will be contained in 26 volumes, one of which will be issued on each succeeding Saturday, until complete. A foil set will be forwarded, free of postage, by Mail, to any part of the United States, to any one, by the publishers, on sending a remittance ol five dollars to them, for the twentyrsix volumes. At this low price, all persons should possess themselves of a sett, and we would take the occasion to advise all of our readers to make a remittance of Five Dollars at once, per first mall, to T. B. Peterson A Brothers, Philadelphia, for the entire sett, who will send them complete to any one, free of postage, on receipt of that sum. FOUR MURXjEfiERS HUJIO, Baltimore, April 8.

The gallowß stands near the north wall of the jail, and is plainly visible from all the high grounds, and even from the streets in the vicinity. The cloudy weather and threatening rain did not deter the eager mnltitnde. All the criminals exhibited re markable composure and kneeled on the scaf fold.

The square was soon filled, and the greatest enthusiasm and excitement prevailed. Speeches were made from five different standi. The crowd In atten dance was estimated at between 8000 and 10,000 people.— After the speaking another procession was formed and paraded the streets until 12 o'clock. .

Tbe Know Nothings made a splendid show, as they al ways do, bat fell wofully behind at the polls. It Is said that some $60,000 has been sent here by the Black Republicans of the North—the money has been all spent, and we incline to the belief, that It has been expend ed in vain. A great many bets were made with it—as a bluff—but all found ready taken. We cannot give you auy other news to-day. Our old friend Dr. N. B.

LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY, Extra Pay.—ld the Seuate, on Friday of last week, the 4th section of the general ap propriation bill providing for the pay of members of the Legislature, &0., being under consideration, a motion was made to amend tbe section so as to reduce tbe salaries of mem bers from $7OO to $5OO, when a further amend ment was offered to take $2OO from the sal aries of the members of the Legislature of 1858. In this shape the section was adopted —but when the bill came up on third reading, the amendments were stricken out, so that the pay of members remains the same as before, to wit: $7OO for the session. AppROPBUTioNB.-The general appropriation bill, as it passed the Senate, appropriates $280,000 to Common Schools; $12,500 towards completing the bnildings of the Pennsylvania Training Sohool for feeble minded ohildren j $5,000 to the Northern Home for friendless ohildren ; $5,000 to the Penn Asylum for indigent widows and single women, and $l,- 000 to the Mount Vernon Fund. Free Banking. —The bill establishing a General or Free Banking Law was defeated on final reading in the House, on Friday of last week, by a vote of yeas 31, nays 53. Exemption Law. —A supplement to the aot to exempt property to the value of $3OO from levy and sale on 1 execution and distress for rent passed the House finally on Friday of last week. It provides, “That the widow or child of any decedent entitled to retain $3OO out of such decedent’s estate by the laws of this Commonwealth, and every person entitled to the exemption provided for in the aot entitled ‘an act to exempt property to the value of $3OO from levy and sale on exeontion or distress for rent,’ approved April 9, 1849, may elect to retain tpe sams, or any part thereof, oat of any bank notes, money, Btookp, judgments, or other indebtedness to such person ; and that in all cases hereafter when property shall be set apart for the widow and ohildren of any decedent, the same shall be appraised and set apart to said widow and children by the appraisers of the other person al estate of said decedent.” An Anti Slaveet Pbayer Meeting. —The Rev. Dr. Cheever, and the members of his (not the Lord’s) church, in New York city,.arc agitating the subjeot of holding stated,” anti slavery prayer meetings,” for the purpose of praying the negroes of the South into a state of freedom and happiness ! There are, doubt less, hnndreds of people —white people existing within a stone’s throw of Dr. Cheever’s church, who . are suffering from the want of the common necessaries of life; hundreds who are, in the parlance of the preacher, “ without God in the world hnndreds pur suing lives of oripje and dpbanohery, without anything tu encourage them to reform, but with numerous surrounding influences to drive them still deeper into degradation and ruin. Among these, there may be—doubtless, there are, many, who by nature, were origi nally equal to Dr. Cheever and the best of his Pharisaical flook in all the qualities that ennoble humanity; but, who, by poverty, discouragement, temptation and, perhaps, the coldness and scorn of professed Christians, have been driven to their present state of corruption and disgrace. Yet, none of these are objeots of solicitude on the part of the Rev. Dr. Cheever and his diseiples. These devont Christians and weepers over tbp blacks of the far off South, neverlqpnoerh themselves abont the sufferings and disgraoed condition of their white brethren and sisters at their very doors. They would not deign to “ visit ’ one of these—they would not even give them a seat in the Rev. Dr’s. Church— not even a back seat. Were there no “ means of graoe” save through such Churches as that of Dr. Cheever, the poor and degraded among the white people of this Christian land, would never know more of Christianity than the dwellers in the most 'inaccessible parts of heathendom. Yet,, the Rev. Dr.'Cheever-and. his pharieaioal 'floak, are disonssing the pro priety of holding prayer, meetings for I -the benefit of the well-fed and happy negroes Of the South 1 Comment is unnecessary. 1 Totaj, Depravitt - .— The Qhio Statesman Bays of Frances Miller, the keeper of a hdttsa of ill faine in Columbus, who murdered a - yonng man in that town last week— y - .
