AUDITOR GENERAL: RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT, Pbllada. SURVEYOR GENERAL: JOHN ROWE, Franklin. Iff* The Democratic State Committee are requested b/the Chairman, Robert Tyler, Esq., to meet at Buckler's Hotel, Harrisburg, on Wednesday the 29th inst., at 2 o'clock, P. M. MESSRS. WRIGHT AND ROWE ' We have never known more popular nomi nations made by any political organization, than those of Messrs. Wright and Rowe, the candidates of the Democratic party for Audi tor General and Surveyor General of the Commonwealth. Even our enemies concede that they are men of sterling worth and integ rity, and do not pretend to doubt their admir able qualifications for a faithful and intelligent discharge of the duties appertaining to the offices. Our information from almost every part of the State confirms us in the belief that the Democracy (notwithstanding their unfortu nate disagreement about a by-gone and de funct issue) are a unit in support of Messrs. Wright and Rowe, and that they will receive the full party vote, if not more, at the Octo ber election. In Lancaster county, we can assure our friends at a distance, all is right. Lecomp tonism and anti-Lecomptonißm are forgotten, in the general desire by all our Democratic brethren to roll up a heavy vote for the ticket and in support of our time-honored principles. The Blaok Republican candidates are worthy and respectable men in their way, barring their political connexions ; but the Democracy of this oounty look upon their own candidates as a little more worthy and quite as respec table, and, what is of equal importance, they are the representatives, for the time being, of those great and fundamental principles which are considered so essential to the prosperity and glory of our common country. We are now firmly of the belief that the Democratic candidates will be triumphantly sustained at the ballot-boxes, and their elec tion will give the finishing blow to Black Republicanism in good old Pennsylvania.— Let our friends every where take courage at the flattering political prospects, which are daily becoming more and more manifest— looming up all around them —and present an unbroken front to the enemy from now until the election closes on the second Tuesday of Octo ber. The result of this election in Pennsyl vania will have an important bearing on the Presidential campaign of next year, and that consideration, of itself, should stimulate every Democrat to do his duty faithfully and ener getically in the present contest. THE WAR IN ITAI<Y. The next arrival will, in all probability, bring the intelligence of a great battle having been fought by the belligerant armies on or near the banks of the river Po, or, it may be, in the neighborhood of the city of Milan, in Lombardy. The battles which have been already fought were, comparatively speaking, mere skirmishes between detachments of the Austrians on the one hand, and the French and Sardinians on the other, and nothing decisive has been the result. But this state of things cannot much longer continue. At the latest accounts from the seat of war the hostile armies were not only consolidating their several divisions, but were approaching each other, so as to leave but a few miles intervening, and nothing but a rapid retreat of the Austrians could have prevented a collision ere this. What the result of such a meeting has been, if it took place, it is impos sible to conjecture. The chances are, we think, in favor of the allies ; but this is by no means a certainty. The Austrians are a brave and warlike people, and their army is, perhaps, the best officered of any in Europe. They will fight, too, under the immediate eye of their Emperor, and nothing short of one of the most bloody and destructive battles on reoord will compel them to yield the victory. The French Emperor is a shrewd and saga cious man,and rarely-embarks in an enterprise whose issue is at all Whether be has counted the cost of the Italian war remains to be seen. We shall, probably, know more about it in the course of a day or two. P. S. After the above was in type, the .Anglo-Saxon arrived at Quebec, with four * days later intelligence from the seat of war. A great battle had been fought near Magenta, on the 4th inst., in which the Austrians are said to have been defeated with the loss of 20,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners.— The Frenoh loss is stated at 12,000. The Austrians thereupon evaouated Milan, 12 mileß distant. The particulars in full are not given, nor will they be known until the next arrival. It is the French account of the affair. The Austrian side of the story is yet to be told. We think it altogether probable that it has been a most bloody enoounter, and that the loss of life will be found to be much greater than here stated. It may be that the dispatch overrates the Austrian loss, and underrates • that of the allies, as was the case with the first news we received of the battle of Montebello. The public await further particulars with no little anxiety. The beßt news the Anglo-Saxon brings is the decline of breadstuff's in the European markets. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following is gleaned from the Anglo Saxon's mails: A desperate battle waß fought at Magenta, on the 4th of June, the allied army, under the Emperor Napoleon, and the Austrian army, under General Hess, in which unlimited forces were engaged on both sides. Emperor Napoleon, in his despatches to the Empress, at the Tuilleres, claims a decisive viotory, saying that his army took 7000 pris oners,'disabled 12,000, and captured three cannons and two standards. He estimates the loss of his own army at 3,000, but it was rumored in Paris that the French loss was between 9,000 and 12,000. It is reported that there were from 150,000 to 180,000 Austrians and 130,000 Frenoh en gaged in the battle. % The Austrian accounts differ widely from those of the French. Their bulletins speak of several battles being fought, with varying success on both sides. It was still undeoided on the night of tHfe 6th as to who gained the viotory. Great losses on both sides are reported. General Espmasse, of the second corps d’ armee, was killed, and Marshal Canrobert, commander of the third corps, was mortally wounded. General Maurice McMahon, commanding the seoond corps d’ armee, had been created Marshal and Duke de Magenta, as a reward for his bravery on the'batSe field. . Five of the Frenoh Marshals and Generals were wounded. Marshal Count Baraguay d' Hilliers has been superseded in his oommand of the first corps <F armee by Gen. Forey. 'Four of the Austrian Generals and five staff officers were wounded at the battle. REVOLT OP HILAI?—-EVACUATION BY THE AUS, There had been a general revolt at Milan, and the people had deolared in favor of the King of Sardinia. . The Austrians retired from Milan, but the city bad not yet been occupied by the French. Later rumors detract from the French the victory at Magenta. It was believed that proposals of peace would follow the enterance of the French army into Milan. THE REPUBLICANS SNUBBED IN The resolution of the Supreme Court of Ohio (which ib composed of Republicans) to uphold the Constitution of the United States, as manifested in their determination of the Habeas Corpus case, about which so much has been said, will operate aB a strong check on nullifying Republicans throughout the country. In Ohio it is having a stunning effect on the demagogues of the Chase and Giddings stamp. Heretofore, says the Chi cago Times, they have only been at war with the Supreme Court of the United States; but now they must fight the Supreme Court of their bwn State. They will find it much harder work to do the latter than it was the former. Until now, the issue has been repre sented to be, by the knavery of the agitators, between the general and the State govern ments ; and many men, who would shudder at the thought of lifting a band against their country, have thuß been led to believe that their personal rights were being invaded, and that resistance to the Federal authorities was a stern duty. State pride is the passion of State rights —and men are apt to follow, in times of excitement, their passions more than reason or the rule of law. The personal lib erty bills that have lately been sprung upon some of the States would never have been enacted but for this. They were drawn fur the purpose of making uninformed people believe that abolitionism was a slHous thing —not that their authors had any idea that any individual who had a right under the Constitution to his personal liberty would ever be deprived of it. We do not think so badly even of the leading demagogues of the Repub lican party, to suppose that they foresaw the extreme to which they were rushing, in the incipient period of their party. But once embarked on the mad stream of fanaticism, they could imt turn back; and long before now, had not the Democratic sentiment of the country opposed to them an insurmounta ble barrier, the Union would have reached its end. We have now, however, an auxiliary in one of the most intensely Republican States, and in the very core of: the Republican party. By the decision in the late fugitive slave or habeas corpus case, the checks to political Abolitionism are quadrupled. Now, if Chase and Giddings and their cohorts desire to fight any Court, let them begin at home>| It has been the burden of their cry that Strife Courts and not Federal Courts are supreme in the State; we shall see now whether they were sincere in this cry or not. Ohio, through her Supreme Court, in a case made up by the Republicans themselves, has decided that it is her duty, and intimated that it is her pleasure, to remain in the Union, to respect the Consti tution, and to obey the laws. In other words, she has declined to make a free negro nest, and a refuge for fugitive negroes, of her do main ; she will discharge her federal obliga tions, and give up runaway slaves 11 on claim of the party ” who shall show title of owner ship. That is the language of the Constitu tion. SECRETARY THOMPSON. The following letter to the Philadelphia Press, not only retracts a gross libel upon Secretary Thompson, but does no more than simple justice to the administration and its officers in the South, in the particular referred to■. Washington, June 3. —The statement, Borne time ago, (since copied extensively into the papers,) that an official in the South had called the attention of the head of the Interior Department of the alleged fact of large impor tations of Africans in the Carolina, Georgia, and Gulf States, to which he had paid no attention whatever, though made on what was deemed as high authority, I have now the best reason? to know was unjust to Secretary Thompson. The Federal officers in those States are doing their duty, and manfully combating public sentiment, which, in some localities, greatly favors the slave traffic. Special counsel have, in several instances, been employed to prosecute those charged with a violation of the laws prohibiting the slave trade, and everything is being done to bring the offenders to justice. I make this statement, as I know you would wish to do no injustice to Secretary Thompson, who, I have reason to know, is warmly seconding the efforts of the United States officials, and who is determined, as far as the means in his power will permit him to go, to see that the laws are faithfully executed, South as well as North. Mr. Thompson accompanied the President on his recent visit to North Carolina. At their reception in Raleigh he made a brief address, in the course of which he said ; This is an age when speculative questions, and not those of utility, arise. In the North we have the leading spirit of a great party urging the idea that it is impossible for the Union and the institutions of the South to exist together. In the South a new light has arisen, which is to urge the abolition of the slave trade laws, and the introduction of barbaric Africans in our midst, endangering the very safety of our peculiar institutions. These laws were passed by the strenuous efforts of Southern men, and now, all at once, we fine men in the South who 6ay that they are unconstitutional. Why do I introduce this subject here and now ? Why, to say that when they tell me that the inhabitants of this country can no longer live together peace ably in the Union, I wish to run up the stars and stripes and declare that for one I am ready to battle against these agitators. Let the reader bear in mind that this was said in the very place where “ large importa tions of Africans” are represented to have been made with his tacit approval 1 How silly are the lies of the opposition, and how utterly reckless they are in their misrepresen tations ! And in the face of these proofs to the contrary, the Black Republican papers will undoubtedly continue to assert that the administration, Secretary Thompson and the federal officers in the South are deliberately neglecting their duty in this matter and really conniving at the revival of the slave trade. Suoh miserable and reckless libels constitute their chief political capital. MORS PROSCRIPTION. . The Oppositionists in Connecticut are about to follow the precedent set by the extremists and intolerant proscriptionists of Massachu setts. They propose to add an illiberal amendment to their State Constitution similar to that of Massachusetts, except that instead of two years they have proposed but one, as a palliative for the offence and insult to foreign citizens, and at the same time a good and sufficient sacrifice to the moloch of Know- Nothingism. At the same time it is proposed to do away with the distinction of color, and “niggers” to vote. This is the kind of equal rights advooated by the Black Republicans. They trample upon the white man, and deprive him of his Constitutional and legitimate rights, whilst they extend to the black the hand of fellowship, and raise him above the white citizens they have ruth lessly stricken down. £3* We have received “ The Antiquary,” “ Waverly,” and “ Old Mortality,” three more of Sir Walter Scott’s Novels, making the number ten of the series of these popular and sterling works already issued by the enterpiis ing publishers, Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Bros., 806 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. Price only 25 cents for each novel, or the work complete in 26 volumes for $5; sent free of postage to any part of the United States: THE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED states. Attorney General Black, in his letter of instructions to the United States Marshal of the northern district of Ohio, has laid down explicitly the rules governing the administra tion of law in the Federal courts when attempted to be interfered with by process issuing from State courts. The following is bis letter: Attorney General's Office, ) Washington, April 26, 1859. J Sir : It is due to the publio peace that you and all the other federal officers in Ohio, should be as careful as possible not to give any just cause of offence to the State authori ties. ’ But it is necessary that you obey the court whose officer you are. You will, of course, -see to it that your prisoners are not rescued out of your custody, either by the void process of judges who have uo jurisdic tion, or by open and undisguised violence. If you submit to either, it will be justly regard ed as an acknowledgment that the constitu tion and laws of the United States have no longer any practical force within the limits of your district. The Supreme Court of Ohio may be so far imposed upon as to award a writ of habeas corpus for the prisoners in your custody.— If this should be done, you will respectfully decline to produce the bodies of the prisoners before the State court, or to let them be taken out of your custody. But it will be your duty to acoompany this refusal with a proper explanation. Make a return Btating the facts, and send copies of all the documents in your possession which may be necessary to verify your statement, including, if you Bee proper, a copy of this letter. The federal court in your district has ex elusive jurisdiction of the offence with which these parties are charged. No State court has any power whatever to interfere in the matter, either by means of a habeas corpus or otherwise. All process of one court the. object or effect of which is to interfere with the administration of justice in another is void and of no effect. Any forcible effort to take these prisoners out of your hands by virtue of a habeas corpus from the State court will be, to all intents and purposes, an act of lawless violence. In saying this I speak by the book, for such was the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Ableman rs. Booth at the last term. If an attachment should be issued against you by the State court for your refusal to obey their process, you will, of course, appeal to the federal court under the act of 1833 (and agreeably to the precedent in Robinson's case) for relief, which will, no doubt, be immediately afforded. But you are to exert your utmost vigilance, caution, and prudence in avoiding every cause of collision as long as you can possibly do so without surrendering the legal rights ot this government, or abandoning your duty as one of its officers. Let your desire to keep the peace be as manifest as you can make it.— Anything except yielding to an unlawful demand, is better than a trial of brute force ; but the prisoners must not be surrendered. I am aware that the habeas corpus law, as modified a short time ago by the legislature of Ohio, authorizes a State officer, under certain circumstances, to take a prisoner out of the hands of a person who has him in custody. This may be one of the forms in which the apprehended force will show itself, and it is what you must prepare to resist. •If the State authorities should disregard their duty to the constitution and laws of the ; Union so entirely as to make an attack upon you, do not forget, nor let your assistants forget, that they who defend the, law are pro tected by the law. The assaulting party must take all the oonsequences upon their own heads. The moral as well as the physical power will be on your side. Yours, respectfully, J. S. BLACK. To Matthew Johnson, Esq., U. S. Marshal Northern District of Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio. RETRENCHMENT IN THE POST OF FICE DEPARTMENT. The statement that the postal revenues are defrauded a million of dollars annually by forged or false stamps, is entirely unfounded. The story originated in New York or Wash ington, and was no doubt designed to discredit the management of the Post Office Depart ment. Mr. Holt perseveres in the good work of curtailing the expenses of the Department, and his rigid economy, while it provokes the sneers of those who are determined not to recognize his merit, extorts commendation from the most able minds among the Opposi tion. The correspondent of the North Amer ican, in referring to the subject says : In this connection it is only proper to say that the efforts of Mr. Holt in lopping of the exorescences which had spread over the postal service; in reducing useless and extravagant expenditures; in resolving something like order out of chaos, and in removing supernu merary officers, are entitled to public recogni tion and credit. He entered upon hie thankless task, giving at once earnest of a purpose to introduce practical and thorough reforms, which have been since illustrated in a most beneficial and satisfactory manner. It certain ly does not become those who have heretofore complained of the wastefulness in this Department to sneer or carp at efforts which are intended to introduce a necessary and wholesome retrenchment. On the contrary, such praiseworthy endeavors should be generously seconded, not only from a sense of justice, but as a means of effecting impor tant results, at which the upright men of all parties aim. What encouragement has a public officer to address his abilities and apply laborious investigation to so large and ramified a subject as the errors or abuses which have insidiously crept into the postal service, unless sustained by the community for whose benefit they are mainly directed? The principles announced in Mr. Holt's letter to the Presi dent, in Mr. Westcott's case, are such as must attract the respect of the country, and help to restore to the Department the confidence which has been heretofore sacrificed by its conversion into a mere machine for promoting political objects or personal ambition. The whole country is interested in an upright and efficient administration of the Post Office, and nothing but bigoted partizanship would consent to withold a full and becoming admission of such services, no matter by whom rendered. That small and narrow spirit has heretofore found no toleration in this correspondence, nor is likely to do so in the future. MULTUM in FARVO I A man who has a soul worth a sixpence, must have enemies. It is utterly impossible for the best man to please the whole world and the sooner this is understood and a position taken in view of the fact, the better. Do right, though you have enemies. You cannot escape them by doing wroDg ; and it is little gain to barter away your honor and integrity, and divest yourself of - moral courage, to gain—nothing. Better abide by the truth—frown down all opposition, and rejoice in the feeling which must inspire a free and independent man. What Good has it Done?— The cost of the Utah army, up to the end of the second quarter, was over $5,000,000, and add to this the estimate for the fiscal year ending June 1, and the expense of that army for one year will range between seven and nine millions.— Manchester American. The expense to the government, of the Utah army, is a thing to be deplored, but it results from the necessity of sending it; and in reply to the question of the American —“ What good has it done ?”—we answer that it has done what was expeoted of it and what it was sent oat there to do. It has subdued a rebel lion and reduced a rebellious people to subor dination to the laws and subjection to the civil power. That it is still necessary to con tinue the army in Utah, is evident from the latest reports. That it may be necessary even to send reinforcements, is possible. But it ill-beeomes a paper or a party that has de nounced Mormonismasa “relic of barbarism,” to find fault with the result of this necessary, and thus far, successful expedition.— K. H. Patriot. Returned. —Right Reverend Bishop Pot ter, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, returned to his home in Philadelphia last week, after an absenoe of over a year in Europe. His health is somewhat improved. CITY AND COUNTY AFFAIRS The Horticultural Fair.— The first An nual Fair of the “ Historical, Agricultural and Mechanics* Institute” took place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Our citizens were very liberal in their atten dance, and the Hall would, no doubt, have been uncom fortably filled had the weather not been so extremely warm. As it is, the Society can congratnlate themselves on having the hearty co-operation of their fellow citizens generally in their praiseworthy endeavors to get np an ex hibition of mechanical and horticultural skil worthy the reputation of Lancaster. The exhibition itself was even more th*n the most sanguine could have expected. It proves that Lancaster is excelled by none, and far ahead of many of her sister cities in mechanics and horticulture. Kefferis Orchestra also added its full share of attraction to the Fair. Below will be found the AWARD OF PREMIUMS.

ROGERS, ) J Fine Arts Department, No. 1. The class assigned to your Committee in the Department of the Fine Arts, includes Penmanship, Engravings, Photo graphy and Paintings. Many of the specimens of the latter were not entered for premiums, but to aid the Soci ety in making the exhibition attractive. The Committee are therefore not authorized to pronounce any npon them, further than to commend the generosity of the proprietors in thus contributing these exellent works to beautify and adorn the Hall for the occasion. There were ten steel engravings, exhibited by tho Messrs. Baer, which were excellent; several of them of established reputation, being prizes awarded by the American Art Union. These do honor to American skill. Several specimanta of Penmanship deservedly attracted much attention. The contributors were Chas. R. Frailey, Esq., and the Lancaster Mercantile College. The card writing and pen drawings of the former are exquisite. The birds and bird nest exhibited by him are hardly surpassed In delicacy and softness of finish, by the finest steel engraving. The nest, especially, appears to your committee to be of superior excellence. The specimens furnished by Mr. Pollock, President ofthe Mercantile College, of pen drawing and ornamental pen manship, are very beautiful productions, evincing great freedom of hand and a correct taste; while the commercial and business band of P:of. McCreary, of the College, as shown in the splendid specimens exhibited, is entitled to high praise, for grace, boldness and legibility. A number of Photographs, by R. W. Addis, were consid ered by your committee as fine specimens of this new art. Borne of these, colored by the exhibitor, have the softness and effect of mlnaiture portraits. A likeness of the Cashier ofthe Lancaster County Bank, as a life-like portrait, could hardly be excelled by the mlnature painter. Of the paintings, there were seven , in the style called Grecian. Three of these were beads executed by Miss Rauch, one of them highly finished and beautiful exceed ingly ; the other two inferior. The flesh tint of the paint ings, represents the complexion given by an Indian sun. — The other four were exhibited by Mr. W. E. Heinitsh, and were exceedingly fine. One, a sea piece, appeared to your committee to excel every other of this kind, on exhibi tion. There were two landscapes and a- fruit piece exhibited by Mr. H. R. Fahnestock, a young and self-taught artist of oar dty. The'Committee consider these ere remarkable productions. The landscape, on the north side of the Hall, may be pronounced, with very slight allowance, most ex cellent It represents a mountain stream winding its way through a plain in the' foreground after issuing from a gorge into which a road is seen to enter; 'the bick ground being occupied by mountains and woodland slopes,the son’s rays streaming over the latter, through broken clouds, and showing the alternants bars of light and shadow, which all hare so often observed in the afternoon. Every object in this fine picture. Is presented with a truth of perspective and a richness of coloring, which not only win immediate admiration, bat secure approbation after close scrutiny. The Committee ascribed to this landscape, excellence in perspective, troth of coloring and a happy dis tribution of lights and shades. And as first efforts of an artist, purely Belf-tsught, they think the. fruit piece (which is unfinished) the Dream, of Arcadia, and especially the landscape above described, evince extraordinary talent. The other specimens were exhibited by Hr. Chas. E. Wise & Co. Among these is a portrait of John Wise, Esq., the veteran seronaut; which Is not only a correct likeness but a very good likeness, by which we mean that it gives something of the spirit of the man, as well as the simple presentment of his lineaments. These specimens lay no claim to any perfection of finish; but they afford, as the committee think, evidence of talent which deserves culti vation There is a specimen of ornamental sign painting by these exhibitors, which merits commendation. The Committee in concusion would say that they thiuk the Institute are highly obliged to Mrs. R. Hubley, Mrs. Wiley, Mrs. Heiuer, Mrs. Holbrook aud Mrs. Chamberlain, to Mr. 0. Taylor Lane, Mr. Amos S. Henderson, Mr. J. W. Jackson and Mr. 8. Stevens, for many paintings, not en tered for premiums, but generously supplied by them for decoratlng'the Hall; among which were some works of the highest order of merit and great value. A. L.

Edward Stewart, who exhibited two cases of Lancaster county birds, deserves great credit for the neat manner in which they have been put up. The Entomological collection, is large and arranged in a thoroughly scientific manner. A domestic cat in a large cage, nursing five young chick ens, deposited by C. W. Shaub, Is a singular instance of the diversion of maternal instinct. A mocking bird and cage, exhibited by Mr. Jacob Roth armel, and also one by Mr. Henry Gast are deserving of special notice, as they enlivened the exhibition with their choicest songs. The Committee regret that this department ha 3 been so poorly represanted. With asingle exception not anarticle named in the schedule has been exhibited, although very many interesting objects of this character are known to exist in the city and county —we hope that this neglect will be amended in the future.

LIGHTNER. ) The Horse Exhibition. —The First Annual Exhibition of Horses by the Lancaster County Agricultural aud Mechanical Society took place on the Society’s Grounds, College Avenue, on Monday and Tuesday last, and proved to be a complete success. The attendance of visitors was large, and the arrangements of the grounds perfect.— The Fencibles’ Band discoursed eloquent music during the exhibition. This first exhibition, as it has turned out so well, will, no doubt, stimulate the Society to make their annual horse exhibitions the best in the State.

The balloon was inflated from the main gas pipe in West King street. The process of inflation occupied an hour and a half. The ascension was one of the prettiest wo have ever seen. On stepping into the car attached t." l the balloon, and being elevated a few feet in the air, Mr. W. made a few very ap propriate remarks to the immense crowd of people in tho Square and vicinity. The Fencibles acted as a guard around the balloon, and a special police force was detailed by the Mayor to preserve order. Mr. Wise has written the following account of this, his 228th ascension: Memoranda of TPtse’s 228</i JEriol Voyage , made from Lan caster City, June 14, 1859. Although this ascension was made as an embellishment to the first annual exhibition of tho Mechanic and Horti- cultural Arts of the Historical, Agricultural and Mechanics’ Institute of Lancaster, it turned out to be one of the most interesting, in a meteorological point of view, that I ever made. When I got up several thousand feet I observed four distinct rain storms at different distances around me, one ofthemnotfar off. The first thing, however, that drew Dotes from my pencil was the remarkably unique appear ance of the surface of Lancaster County. Twenty years have made unmistakeable havoc with its heavy-timbered woods. Now they have dwindled into little coppes, but so very regularly iuterspersed over its vast aud beautiful plane, 6tudded with villages, farm buildings, and innumer able streamlets, so as to give it the appearance of a great Park, full of little pic-nic camping places, and the wh'de was more like a scene of fancy such as we read of in ro mances written by strongly imaginative authors. The Susquehanna threw off a glare of light by reflection that tried the powers of vision as much as a meridian sun—like a bulged up mirror it reflected the sunbeams against the balloon. Heaven’s choicest designs and comforts seemed to have been lavished upon this lovely land, and year npon year adds beauty to its face. As I ascended a little higher, and had moved slowly onward, my mind was turned to atmospheric phenomena. A little to the north-east of me there huDg a huge cloud, spread out above, as near os I could judge, about two miles in diametor, and terminated below by a great cul de sac of the vaporous mass. I had no idea ; that this, or the more distant storm clouds, were giving out rain, but took It to be an incipient storm, pre paring for a thunder gust, and thus I approached it cauti ously. As this remark may create snrprise, from the im pression that the same altitude of cloud and balloon would necessarily cause the same velocity of bodies in motion, I must say that that is not the case. There axe positive nod negative powers at work in the upper regions that often make it otherwise. When I got near It I found it giving out a copious shower of rain, first indicated by the rustling noise it produced in falling upon the earth below. It was to me a very singular formation of rain—a storm cloud giving out rain without the accompaniment of thunder and lightning, and its great udder, suspended from the mass of vapor, hnng down nearly to the earth.— In a few moments more the balloon had reached the outer large drops of rain, and as they glanced over the side of the oiled surface, they flashed like shooting stars, and so luminous were several of them that I conld not divest my self of the alarming impression that there was fire pelting against the balloon, and I made a precipitous descent, so much so, that In a few minutes I found the air ship crash- ing into the apple orchard of Tobias Kreider, and the grapnel catching hold of one of the trees, obliged me to cat the rope and bonnd over the tree tops, when I threw a line to Mr. Henry Landis who held on to it manfully, until we got more assistance. Upon resting here a few minutes the storm cloud had passed on several miles ahead, and in a few minutes more Mr. Metlar and Mr. John Landis had secured me the grapnel and I rose a second time. The balloon having now lost a considerable quantity of gas, which being com pensated by an adequate disposal of ballast, put It in order for a higher ascent than the first, and up I went accord ingly. In a short time I overtook tho storm cloud again, but was now mounted to a height where I conld reconnoitre it more thoroughly, and found that it had a long, down- Dip. Dip. Dip. 1.00 1.00 Dip. ward, protruding neck, and was much the shape of a bal loon with a long neck to It. It was a water spout trailing over the land, unique iu appearance, and, like a huge ele phant with suspended trunk, it moved slovenly along.— Above and about it large cumulons clouds in detached masses were floating around, apparently mingling with its top. Casting my eye to the south-west I beheld another of these meteors approaching the former, and the balloon being between them made me feel at least cautions of a concussion, and besides that I was sure the two combined would be more likely to mab% a violent thunder storm than one alone. This phenomena was £0 interesting to behold that I could not persuade myself of danger sufficient to make it prudent to descend until the large rain drops again alarmed me by their luminous corruscations as they glanced over the surface of the balloon, although the sun was shining on it at the time. All the time of observation of the two clouds, I could discover no uprising current as Is the case in thunder gusts. These meteors, which I take to be of the water-spout class, had certainly very different actions, and evidently depended upon very different means for their sustenance. I have here simply stated the facts as observed, and must leave the deductions for more sci entific minds, and for more extended observations. As above stated, the fiery rain drops caused me to make a sudden descent opon the farm of Mr. David Bear, in East Earl, about 13 miles from Lancaster, when Mr. Jacob A. Bear very kindly furnished me with supper, and took me to Concord, where I intercepted the up train of cars, and reached Lancaster at dusk. I was one hour and thirty minutes engaged in this most interesting atmospheric voy age. JOHN WISE. Dip. Dip. 1.00 2.00 Dip. Dip. —Mr. Wise left here on Wednesday afternoon last for St. Louis. His trans-continental serial voyage he expects to be ready to make on Thursday next, the weather per mitting. He Is pretty confident of success in his vast under taking. Our able and attentive correspondent, ‘‘Old Guard,” will, doubtless, give full and interesting particu lars of this monster ascension. / of the Fulton Institute. — The long talked of Fair of the Fulton Institnte, of this city, will commence at Fnlton Hall on Monday, the 2ist of November next, and continue one week. It is the Intention of the members of the Institute to make it a first-class exhibition in every respect Exhibition at Litiz. —The closing exer cises of the session of 1858-’9 of the Linden Hall Female Seminary took place on Thursday morning last, In the beautiful Moravian Church, at the delightful village of Litiz. The attendance of visitors, especially from this city, was very large, and the exercises were really of a deeply interesting character. This school has a reputation co-ex tensive with our country's bounds, and will maintain it as long as it is under the charge of snob an able and accomplished scholar as the Rev. Julius T. Beceleh, the present Principal. Lyceum Conventions. —The Lyceum Coun ty Committee met at Shenk’s Exchange Hotel, on Wednes day, June 16th, and resolved to hold two conventions; one for the Eastern section of Lancaster county, at Christiana, on Saturday, September 3d, and one for the Western, at Millersville, on Saturday, August 20th, 1859; the different Lyceums to be represented as suits their convenience, but no one to he represented at both conventions. Farther information may be obtained by addressing A # H Herr, Chairman, WUlow Street P.O. Changes in Mail Routes in Lancaster County. —The Postmaster of this city, H. B. Bwa&a, Esq., received notice from the Post Office Department that the following changes will take place, in the Mall Routes annexed, after the Ist of July next: Route No 3, 31. From Lancaster to Strasburg, via Lam peter. Now daily. Mall service reduced to three times a week. Route No. 3,032. From Lancaster to Safe Harbor. Now dally. Mall service reduced to three times a week. Route No. 3,035. From Lancaster to Colebrook. Now tri-weekly. service reduced to twice a week, omitting the middle trip. - [ Route No. 3,036. From Lancaster to Hinkletown. Now dally. Mail service reduced to three times a week. Route No. 3,043. From Lancaster to New Holland. Now daily. Mall service reduced to three times a week. Route No. 3,523. From Lancaster to Bethesda. Mail service to be discontinued entirely. Mr. Swarr requests ns to say that he will endeavor to arrange matters, on the routes referred to, so as to give the greatest accommodations to the citizens receiving mail matter thereon, and especially in their newspaper mails. Floral Festival. —The ladies connected with St John’s Lutheran Church, West Orange street, are making preparations for holding a grand Floral Festival In a few days, for the purpose of aiding in the extinguishment of the debt remaining on their beautiful church edifice. The congregation,of which the Rev. Mr. Stick, an eloquent and popular minister, is Pastor, although one of the youngest, Is one of the most flourishing in tho city, and the noble efforts of the ladies should be crowned with the happiest kind of pecuniary success. When the ladles u put their dear little shoulders to the wheel ” an enterprise of any kind rarely fails of a successful end. $1 and Diploma. Diploma. A Distressing Accident. —A young man about eighteen or nineteen years of age, named Wm. M’Call, was drowned on Tuesday last in the Susquehanna, at M’Call’s Ferry. He was a son of Mr. James M’Call, who lives on the York county side of the Ferry, and who for many years owned the extensive fisheries there, and still has an interest in them. The father was in this city when the sad casualty happened, and* the intelligence reached him at his hotel about 11 o’clock on Tuesday night, by a special messenger. Tho shock was a most ter rible one, and fell with crushing effect upon his heart. Lancaster Gas Company. —At an election held on the 13th inst., for officers of the Lancaster Gas Company, the following persons were elected: President — C. Hager. Managers—Dr. John L. Atleo, Dr. Henry Car penter, James L. Reynplds, Gen. B. A. Sh&effer, Luther Richards, Hon. Llenry G. Long. Columbia Affairs. —We learn from the Spy that several meetings in reference to the construction of the Reading and Columbia Railroad have been held. Com mittees have been appointed to solicit subscriptions in the two wards, and Col. Samuel Shoch, C. S. Kauffman, and H. M. North, Esqr., selected as a “ committee of correspon dence to have proper communication with persons supposed to be interested in the road abroad.” Another meeting will be held on Saturday evening when further pro gress will be reported. We also glean the following items from the same paper: Railroad Accidents. —On Saturday last Mr. Grubb, switchtenderon the Pennsylvania Railroad at the switches opposite the Bridge, had his haod jammed between two freight cars while in the act of coupll ng them. He has lost one cf his fingers entirely, and tho whole hand is badly mashed. He will probly recover the use of his hand, minus the finger. On Friday morning, the Express Freight Train West, at 2.30 P. M., run over a a man laying on the track a Bhort distance above St. Charles Furnace, cutting off both legs, one below tho knee and the other close to the body. Infor mation was conveyed to town and Mr. J. W. Hamilton wont to tho assistance of the injured man. He found him lifted to the side of the road, suffering intensely, hut quite sensi ble. He obtained 60me aid and then returned to town for physicians. Drs. John and Hottenstein were called and went to the man, bat conld do nothing fbr his relief; they pronounced his Injuries fatal. He remained by the Bide of the road until morning, when ho was removed by his friends to Chickies, whore ho has relatives. He gave his name to Mr. Hamilton as Hugh McAteo; he resided in Marietta, and was, we believe, engaged about some of tho furnaces. McAtee was intoxicated during Thursday oven ing and left Kramer’s, at the Basin, about i'l2 J o’clock. Ho probably laid down on the track, in a drunken sleep, as he had no knowledge of how he was injured. 110 requested when found, to be conveyed to Kramer’s, but Mr. Hamil ton could not obtain permission to take him there. The man has, probably, died of his injuries. A Fire. —On last Saturday night, near 12 o’clock, a lire broke out hi the stable of U. Vogel, on the south side of the alloy running east and west, between Locust and Wal- Dut streets, east of Third street. The flames reached the stables on the north side of the alley, belonging to Col. S. Shoch, and extended on tho south side to the stables of John Bannett, Mrs. Wien and John Yeager, a portion of the latter being used as a slaughter house. Tho firemen were promptly on the ground, but from the limited space for work and intense heat could Dot save the stables. Another. —On Wednesday afternoon an alarm of fire was given, which was generally believed to be false, bnt we learned afterwards that a blacksmith Rhop on Mill road, beyond Collins’ garden, was burned. The flro was malici ously kindled, probably by boys who should receive their deserts at some hand. Toothache. —This disease can be cured by Dr. Keyser’s Toothache Remedt, prepared by him in Pitts. v bnrg 1 Pa., which is put in bottles and sold at 25 cents each. It is an excellent medicine, when diluted, for spongy and tender gums, and is worth ten times its price to all who need it. Sold here by C. A. Heinltsh. For the Lancaster Intelligencer. THE WARM SPRINGS OP HUNTING* There is, perhaps, no State in tho Union which exceeds our owd, in the magnificence of Us scenery, and in tho various agricultural and mineral productions which form the basis of our substantial wealth and power. Pennsyl vania was the first State in tho Union to authorize, by statute, the construction of a public railroad for travel and transportation, and no State, except New York,' has equal ed her in the energy and enterprise with which she has pro6ecatod her extended system of internal improvements. There is an increasing disposition on the part of the citi zens of Pennsylvania to become more intimately acquaint ed with the resources and improvements, and the magnifi cent scenery which distinguish the Keystone State. There is no State which offers so many delightful Summor resorts, to those who either for health, enjoyment or recreation, desire some relief from tho toils and anxieties of bnsiness and the turmoils of an active life Our State is dotted with these places of resort, that are familiar to your read ers ; and my only purpose, in troubling you with this communication, is, to add another to the list, which offers many advantages and attractions not possessed by any other place in the Commonwealth. I have reference to the Warm Springs of Huntingdon county, situated about 5 miles from Huntingdon, of a temperature of 64 degrees, and possessing medicinal qualities which have been very highly commended. These Springß wore noticed and fully analyzed as early as 1810, and their excellent effects from that date have been well known and appreciated by the limited number who have visited them. They are desig nated on MeliGhe’s Map of Pennsylvania, published in 1825, and also particularly noticed in Day’s Historical Col lections of Pennsylvania. The Warm Springs are now owned by Gen. A. Porter Wilson, of Huntingdon, with 250 acres of land; and have now every convenience for tho accommodation of a large nnmber of There is a fine large hoteTrecently constructed on the brow of the mountain, and calculated to accommodate comfortably about two hundred guests. The bouse is kept by Col. Jno. R. Herd, a gentleman, who, from his courtesies and atten tions, and the excellence of his table and arrangements, cannot fail to give entire satisfaction to all who become his guests. There is a large Warm Spring situated about a hundred yards from the honso, and is about 30 by 24 feet; the water about two feet in depth, as clear as crystal, and of the invariable temperature of 64 degrees as already stated. Near the Warm Spring there is a very superior Spring of cold wator, besides other numerous springs that abound upon the promises. There is a large bath house conveniently arranged for ladies and gentlemen. The water from the Warm Spring is conducted by pipes laid from the springs to this building. The temperature of the water is delightful for bathing. There is a fine bowling alley of about 80 by 40 feet. The Warrior’s Ridge, with its magnificent scenery, is distinctly in view, and Stone Creek, abounding in great varieties of fish, flows directly through the tract. It is entirely isolated from the busy world, and no placo presents greater attractions for those who desire to combine a view of the grandDess of our mountain scenery, with all tho -appliances which insure comfort, health and recreation in a Summer resort. The following is a notice of these Springs taken from The Literary Museum, published in 1810, by Gen. W. R. Smith & Moses Canon, Esq.: “ A few miles North of the Borough of Huntingdon, are two Springs, which rise a few perches apart, known by the name of the Warm Springs, possessing valuable medicinal qualities. These Springs were formerly much resorted to, and proved of particular advantage to the sick and afflicted, but, for a few years past, for want of proper accommodations, they have not been much resorted to by visitors. It is understood, that arrangements will soon be made to render the accommoda tions both convenient and agreeable to those who wish to visit these Springs, either for health or pleasure. Inquiries Into, and experiments upon, the water of these Springs were made by an ablo physician, the late Dr. Thomas Dun can Smith, from which the following particulars are ex tracted : “The temperature of these waters, found by several fair trials on the spot, with a good thermometer, ia 64 degrees; their specific gravity is exactly that of pure rain water.— The taste is soft and smooth, bat, at the first drinking, nothing can be discovered in it differing from other soft water. They agree perfectly well with the weakest stomach, and after repeated drinking become agreeable.— Their sensible operation is, to produce secretion of saliva; to increase perspiration; to be slightly cathartic, and a powerful diuretic. They promote and even re store it to those who have long labored under its loss.— The effects produced by mixing it with various sub stances, are: with marine vitriolic acids, whito vitriol, corrosive sublimate, and volatile alkali, at first a light pearl blue, which, in about two hours, grew three or four shades deeper. With lunar caustic, it produced a thick, muddy white, which, by degrees, turned black, uotil it 1 became entirely of that color.” increase: of counterfeits. We learn, from the semi monthly numler of Peterson’s Counterfeit Detector, that ffty bank note forgeries have been detected in cir culation since the first of the month—fifty counterfeits in three weeks! As ususl, the great majority of these counterfeits as from New York and New England. There are two forgeries, however, on Pennsylvania banks. Peterson tells ns that these are: Bank of Commerce, Erie, Pa. —sff spurious —vig. a Western river steamboat; head of .Washington on right, Clay on left. Altered from the Waubeck Bank plate. Refuse all notes of this description. Farmers’ =od Drovers’ Bank, Penn.—2s spurious; vig. man reaping grain. Notes of different denominations altered from worthless Indiana bank of same name are in circulation. The Pennsylvania banks issue no notes of a less denomination than ss. It behooves the public to look sharp after the notes which they take. Above all, let them warily watch all notes purporting to be from New England and New York* yigg- Many readers will reoollect a Mrs. Margaret L. Eaton, formerly Mrs. Purser Timberlake, the wife of Gen. John H. Eaton, President Jaekson’B Secretary of War. Her fame being a little stained by calumnious reports, she was not received into the families of other members of the Cabinet. The generous Old Hero, believing her wronged, insisted that she should be received into com pany, and the result was a Cabinet rupture, with sad Bcandal in tiiose days. The Wash ington papers announce her third marriage, last week, at the ripe age of sixty, to one Signor Antonio Buckignani, an Italian danc ing master of twenty-two. DON COUNTY [From the Detroit Free Press, June 10.] A HARD DOSE FOR ODD WHIGS* The black-republicans have at last taken open ground against the fugitive-slave law, and, as a party, demand either its repeal or its nullification. This ground was taken in the Ohio State convention last week, where among other things, “ they demand the repeal of the fugitive slave act of 1850, as it is sub l versive of both the’’rights of the States and the liberties of the people, and as contrary to the plainest duties of nnmanitv and jnstioe, and abhorrent to the moral sense of the civilized world.” The black-republican party is composed largely of those who formerly acted with the whig party, and we must acknowledge to a curiosity to know how this new test of faith will be received by such. Will they acquiesce in it, or will they rebel ? As whigs they acquiesced in this very law ; it wqs endorsed in their platforms, and support ed by their orators and their press. Are these very men now to stultify themselves and their action of former years by giving even a taoit acquiescence in this concession to the rampant abolitionism of the party with whioh they are now acting? It is well known that the abolitionists of the Western Reserve demanded this action from the State convention, and it dare not be refused. It was these very abolitionists who in 1844 defeated Henry Clay, the great leader of the whigs, and now the whigs of to-day are asked to give over almost the last remnant of their conservatism to pleas them. Will it be done ? The whole black-republican party of Ohio, whigs and all, are now made to demand the repeal of this law. Let us see what was the action of the whig party in former days. In their national platform,in 1852 was the fol lowing resolution: “ That the series of acts of the Thirty-first Congress— the act known as the fugitive slave law included —are received and acquiesced in by the whig party of the United States as a settlement, in principle and sub stance, of the dangerous and exciting questions which they embrace ; and, so far as they are concerned, we will maintain them, and insist upon their enforcement , until time and experi ence shall demonstrate the necessity of further legislation to guard against the evasion laws on the one hand, and the abuse of their powers on the other, not impairing their present efficiency ; and we deprecate all further agita tion of the questions thus settled as dangerous to our peace, and will discountenance all efforts to continue or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever , or however the attempt may be made; and will maintain this system as essential to the nationality of the whig party and the integrity of the Union.” The law was passed under a whig Adminis tration, signed by a whig President, and advocated, in Congress and out, by Henry Clay and Daniel Webster—both good whig authority in their day. It was voted for by as many whigs as democrats, among the former of whom were such men as John M. Berrien, John Bell, George E. k ßadger, Willie P. Mangum, John A. Pearce, Humphrey Marshall, Edward Stanley, the late blaok republican candidate for governor in Califor nia, and by Wm. 11. Bissell, now governor of Illinois. Daniel Webster touched the very pith of the tiling in a speech whioh he made in the Senate in the summer of 1850, when the bill was under discussion: "The principle of the restitution of runaway slaves,” said he, “ is not objectionable, unless the Con stitution is objectionable. If the Constitution is right in that respoot the principle is right, and the law providing for carrying it into effect is right" And again at Buffalo the the next yfcar he used the following language: “ I was in Congress when the law was pro posed. I was for a proper law. I had indeed proposed a different law. I waß of opinion that a summary trial by jury might be had, which would satisfy the prejudices of the people; but I left the Senate, and went to another station, before the law was passed. The law of 1850 was passed. Now I under take as a lawyer, and on my professional character, to say to you, and to all, that tho law of 1850 is decidedly more favorable to the fugitive than Gen. Washington's law of 1793; and I tell you why : In the first place, the present law places the power in much higher bands—of independent judges of the supreme, circuit courts and district courts, and com missioners who are appointed to office for their law learning. Every fugitive is brought before a tribunal of high character, of emi nent ability, of respeotable station. “ Do you find among all those persons who oppose this fugitive slave law any admission whatever that any law ought to bo passed to carry into effect the solemn stipulations of the Constitution ! Tell me any such case 1 Tel) me if any resolution was passed by the cod vention at Syracuse favoring the carrying oit of the Constitution ? Not one ! Tho fact 3, gentlemen, they oppose tho whole— oppose the whole —not a man of them adpi® that there ought to be any law on the subert. They deny altogether that tho provision of the Constitution ought to be carried into Well, what do they say ? Look at F. 0- ceedings of tho anti slavery convenes in Ohio, Massachusetts, and at Syracuse w the State of New York. What do t) 0 / sa y ‘ That, so help them God, no colored 3110 shall be sent bgck to his master in Virgfa*- Don t they say that ? And for the fulfilm«?t of that, they pledge their lives, their for* oo ß> and their sacred honor. [Laughter.] Zieir saored honor! [Laughter. ] They r^g oo their sacred honor to violate the i# 7o 01 their country; they pledged their s'# oo honor to resist their execution; the 1 plsdged their sacred honor to commit tre® lll against the laws of their country! Go* bless them and help them who pledged th©^ oacr0 ° honor in. such a cause 1” Such was tho action j O3 suoh were the sentiments of the whig seven, eight and nine years ago. This and. these senti ments were universal!' received all the whigs of those days. Since that time the whig party has and most of those who acted with.thave united themselves with the black-repubLan party here at the North, which is upLr the influence of the abolitionists, as wesae it plainly is in Ohio. What are they a oked to do ? Simply to declare that “ able™ 0 * to . the morttl 00080 of the oivilized wo'l**” which they approved but a few yearpsg o - This is what they must do if they coitiiue to act with the blaok republican pirty; they must condemn their own action and vilify the men whom they have ever acceited as the rightful. exponents of and governmental Is not this lkely to prove most too hard a dose for the od whigs? Will not they now “ discount* looo &U efforts to continue or renew tli* agitation, whenever, wherever, or howeve* the. attempt may be made,” as they decla?e() in 1852 ? TrE Penalty or Crime.— Doctor King, who wa/ recently executed at Kingston, Canada, fc the murder of his wife, was, it seems, a man of education and refinement. He noved in what is called “good society,” and, from all that we can learn, was the centre of a numerous circle of relatives and friends, who thought much and made much of him.— With his wife he is said to have lived happily enough, until, in an evil moment, a certain young lady, named Vandervoort, crossed his path. To this person he beoame passionately attached, and— the story is short—in order to marry her he poisoned his wife, was tried for murder, convicted, and then sent to the gibbet, to pay the penalty with his life. ’ The Iron Interests.— The Pittsburg Post sayß it is gratifying to hear that the iron manufacturing establishments all over the State are getting into fall operation with an encouraging prospect of increasing business and profits near at hand. In Allegheny county new branches of the business are being prosecuted with much success. The recovery from the prostration of 1857, caused by un wise expansion of credit in banking, railroad, real estate and other speculative operations, has been speedy and complete. In Blair, Lehigh, and other regions of the State, the furnaces are going into operation with every prospect of success and profit. ggy The Utica Herald reports that Mrs. Daniel E. Sickles has taken rooms for the season at the Clifford Springs Hotel, and that she will resist any application of her husband for a divorce, and will furnish proof of infidelity on his part whioh will prevent any decree in his favor. The difficulties with' the Camanohe Indians continue. A Bpeoial despatch from Independence to the. 13th insc., says that a. party of U: S. soldiers surprised and kiHei 25 men and 21 women, near Pawnee Rook.
