AUDITOR GENERAL: L. WRIGHT, PhUtds. . SURVEYOR GENERAL: < . JOHN ROWS, Franklin. PROGRESS OF THE WAR. The army of the allies continues its trium phant progress through Austrian Italy.— Another battle haß been fought, between the whole Austrian army and the French and Sardinian army, and the latter as usual are victorious. The only account we have, says the ‘Philadelphia BuUftin, is a telegraphic despatch from Napoleon to the Empress, as conoise as that he sent after the victory of Magenta, and no doubt as correct as that turned out to be. He simply telegraphs as follows : 11 Grande bataille ! Grande vicloire ! ps The whole Austrian army formed a line of i / battle five leagues in length. We have taken V. cannon, flags and prisoners. The battle last 'ed from four in the morning till eight in the evening.” We have no intention of fighting this battle over again on paper, and telling our readers exactly how it was managed. That is a duty that must be left to the able military editors of New York, who have enlightened the public in regard to the whole war, at each step of its progress; though-it must be con fessed that their reports of the battles turned out to be very different from the official reports, when the latter were received. But we must hunt up a locality for this mighty battle. Just before it was announced, the allies had advanced and had occupied Lonato, twelve miles from Peschiera; Castiglione, at the same distance, but further South; and Monte Chiaro, a short distance West of Cas tiglione. Their reconnoissances were reported as extending as far os Goito, which is on the West side of the Mincio, about midway between Mantua and Peschiera. The Aus trians had retreated before the French, and the headquarters of the Emperor Francis- Joseph were last reported at Vallegio, which is a well fortified town, with a bridge over the Mincio capable of a strong defence, and situated six or eight miles South of Peschiera, the North-West fortress of the “historic square.” The Austrian army was distributed along the Mincio, at various points, prepared to resist the allies in their efforts to force its passage. This was the position of the forces about the 23d of June. On Friday, the 24th, acoordiDg to the Emperor’s despatch, the great battle was fought. The Austrian line of battle was, according to the despatch, five leagues long, which would make it embrace the whole length of the Mincio, from Peschi era to Mantua. But a battle raging along a line of fifteen miles cannot he named from any special locality, and it is probable that the great battle of the 24th of June will be known in history as the Battle of the Mincio. A victory in such a conflict, and the exulta tion with which it was announced by the Emperor and received by the Parisians, indicate that the allies have crossed the Mincio, and are within the famous strategical quadrangle, prepp-red to blockade or besiege the four great fortresses. The issue of the war is to be decided in that space. We may expect great events there for some time to come. v DEATH OF JUDGE BURNSIDE. We are extremely sorry to hear uf the sudden death of the lion. Judge Burnside, which occurred on the Ist inst., at Bcilefonte. It appears that the Judge was about to take a ride in a buggy with his nephew, to which a young and spirited horse was attached. The Judge got into the buggy, and before his nephew had got in, the horse became unman ageable and ran off at full speed. In turning a corner the vehicle was upset, the Judge violently thrown out, andSilmost instantly killed. Judge B. was President Judge of the Centre Judicial district at the time of bis death, and was universally respected for his legal ability and deportment in life. He was married to a daughter of General Cameron, and leaves several 6mall children and a very large number of friends who mourn with them at this sudden bereavement. 1®“ Gov. Wise has written a letter to a citizen of Lynchburg, Va., disagreeing with Gen. CaS9 on the question of the right of foreign Governments to exact unrendered military service from our naturalized citizens who were born under their laws. He says he “ would protect our naturalized citizens against military service of other Powers to the uttermost ends of the earth.” California dates to the 20th of June have been received by the William H. Webb, at New Orleans. The anti-Lecompton Demo crats had nominated Curry for Governor, and Meßsrs. McKibbin and Booker for Congress. The steamships Sonora and Orizaba, which left San Francisco on the 20th for Panama, took $2,000,000 in treasure and 600 passen gers. Business was improving at San Fran oißCO, and prices of some articles were better. President Elected. —On Friday last, at a meeting of the Directors of the Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy and Lancaster Rail road Company, Michael G. Baker Esq., of Philadelphia, was unanimously elected Presi dent of said company, in the place of Joseph Teager, deceased. Four F?ne Farms For fc'ALE. —The two New Castld county, Delaware, farms adver tised in this paper were not sold on Wednes day, the 15fch instant. They are now offered at private Bale on accommodating terms, with two other farms, containing 151 acres each, situated between Newark and Christiana, with buildings nearly new; good fencing; 6oil a light loam, suitable for raising any kinds of grain or peaches. By a short sideling from the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Bailroad, fruit can be sent to the Philadelphia, Baltimore or New York markets without transhipment. Address Egbert Heisler, Christiana,.New Castle county, Delaware. Opposition Bboard fob the Foreigner.— The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald, a Black Re publican, Know-Nothing journal, says : ■4 We unhesitatingly aver that seven tenths of the foreigners in our land, are not as intelligent as the fall blooded African of our State—we will not include the part blood." Such is the feeling and sentiment of the Opposition party, generally, North and South, r and they act it out whenever and wherever they have the* power. They have done bo in Massachusetts, by their “ two year amend ment " to the Constitution of that State, and they attempted it in New Jersey, New York, ."and other States. Cool Weather. 3d, 4th, sth and 6th days of July were remarkably cool—so muoh ao as to compel people to lay aside their summer clothing and doff the woollens. NATURAL!! iATION QUESTION* Reference having been made to the coarse pursued by Mr. Fillmore's Administration in relation to naturalized American citizens who return to their native homes,.we publish, on this subject, the recorded opinions of Daniel Webster and Edw ird Everett, each of whom was Secretary of State daring that Adminis tration: ( [Extract.]— -Mr. Webster to Ignacio Tqlen, New York. Department of State, ) Washington, June 25, 1852. j The respect paid to any passport granted by this Department to a naturalized citizen, for merly a subject of Spain, will depend upon the laws of that j nation in relation to the allegiance dae its Authority by its native born subjects. If that] Government recognizes the right of its subjects to denationalize them selves, and assimilate with the citizens of other countries, the nsual passport will be a sufficient safeguard to yon; but if allegiance to the Crown of |Spain may not legally be renounced by its subjects, you must expect to be liable to the! obligations of a Spanish subject if you voluntarily place yourself within the jurisdiction of that Government. Department of State, ) Washington, June 1, 1852. J Sir ; I have to iacknowledge the receipt of your letter to Mr. Reddall of the 27th ultimo, inquiring whether Mr. Victor B. Depierre, a native of France, but a naturalized citizen of the United States can expect the protection of this Government in that country when ; proceeding thither with a passport from this Department. In reply, I have to inform you that if, as is understood to be the fact, the Government of France does not acknowledge the right of natives of that country to renounce their allegiance, it may lawfully claim their services when found within French jurisdiction. , I am, sir, very, respectfully, your obedient servant, Daniel Webster. To J. B. Esq., New York. The letter from j Mr. Everett was addressed tn our Minister at' Berlin, under date of 14th January, 1853, ini reference to several cases which bad been presented by the Minister. “ The question raised,” Mr. Everett writes, “ has received tbe| particular attention of the President.” The following extracts sufficiently state this doctrine: If, then, a Prussian subject, born and living under this state of law, ohooses to "emigrate to a ; foreign country without obtaining the certificate which alone can discharge him from the obligation of military services, he takes!that step at his own risk. He elects to go abroad under the burden of a duty which he oiyes to his Government. His departure is of the nature of an escape from her laws; and if,Sat any subsequent period, he is indiscreet eqougb to return to his native? country, bo cannot complain if those laws are executed tu his disadvantage. Ilis case resembles that of a soldier or sailor enlisted by conscription or .other compulsory proceßß in the army nr navy. If he should desert the service of his country, and thereby render himself amenable to military law, oo one would expeot that he could return to his native land and l bid defiance to its laws, hecause in the meantime, he might have become u naturalized citizen of a Foreign State. For these reasons, and without entering jnto the discussion of the question of perpetual allegiance, the President is of opinion th >t, if a subject of Prussia, lying under a legal obligation in that country to perform a certain amount of military duty, leaves his native land, and, without performing that duty or obtaining the prescribed “certificate of emigra tion,” comes the United States and is naturalized, and afterwards, for any purposes whatever, goes back to Prussia, it is not competent for the United States to protect him fp:m the operation of the. Prussian law. The case may be one of great'hardship, especially if the omission to’procure-the certificate arose from inadvertance or ignorance ; but this fact, though a just ground of sympathy, does not alter the case as one uf international law. HARD TO PLEASE It is the Harrisburg Patriot , for the present Administration to do anything pleasing to the Opposition grumblers. Having made up their minds to be in a bad humor, they remain in a perpetual and painful state of irritation. Their indignation at the fearful extravagance of The Administration is not exhausted, beforo they disceru that this same Administration is entirely too economical.— The last Congress having adjourned without making the usual postal appropriations, through the factious exertions of Mr. Grow and his Republican confederates in the House of Representatives, the Postmaster General has been compelled to curtail the expenses of the Department, and in doing so many of the country mail routes have been discontinued, and others cut down to half service. No sooner is this announced than it is the signal for a combined assault upon the Administra tion for its niggardly economy. Now retrench ment would be a. very easy matter if it cost uotbing, but in a Government, as’well as in a private household, some comfort or luxury must bo sacrificed if the means are not forth coming to suppbrt it. It may be very inconvenient to do so, but the work must be accomplished or h debt incurred. It is one thing to talk of ;retrenchment, and another thing to feel its 'effects. If the Post Office Department had ample funds it would be an easy matter to keep up all the existing routes, but as it has not, some must be cut off The Postmaster General has determined upon reducing the expenses of the Department, and has adopted Jibe only course by which it can be accomplished. The Opposition have demanded economy, and now that they have it —and most rigidly applied—they are the first to exclaim against it, so inveterate is the spirit of Opposition. THE EDITORS’ BOOK TABLE. LETTERS ON THROAT AND LUNG DISEASES.—We have received from our old’friend, Dr. N. B. Wolfe, of Cincinnati, a neat little bound pamphlet, of 64 pages, entitled “ Letters on Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, and a Historical Essay] on Medicated Inhalation, as a Thera ■ peutic Agent in treating Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis , Nasal Catarrh, Sore Throat, etc., etc., etc.” This is a most valuable little book. The Dr. has made the subjects embraced' in these letters a thorough study for many years, and his system of treatment is rapidly gaining in public favor. Several of his letters were pub lished in Toe Intelligencer about a year ago, and attract ed considerable attention. Persons laboring under any of the above specified dls. eases would do well to consult-Dr. Wolfe by letter, who will have a Circular sent ihem containing the terms of treats ment by Medicated Ijnbalation, and a list of questions by which they will ba enabled to tend a statement of the condition of their lungs, and be treated as well at home as if present with him. Address Dr. N. B. Wplfe, Box 2340, Cincinnati, Ohio. A .MAMMOTH SHEET, INDEED.—One of the handsom est sheets, as well as one of the largest ever printed, is The Illuminated Quadruple Constellation, published by George Roberts. This is a sheet measuring 100 by 70 inches—a fair size for a parlorj carpet. The paper is of superior quality, and the embellishments and printing are unsur passed. | It is a mystery howjso large a sheet could have passed through any known printing press; but here is the fact staring us in the face, and it is executed with unsurpassed beauty and neatness. | Besides the reading matter —eqnal in quantity to two orj three common-sized novels—it has excellent portraits of the President and most of the dis tinguished characters of the country, and does altogether infinite credit to the indefatigable and persevering Roberts. Ross & Tousey are thejprincipal agents in New York city, and it is for sale, we believe, by most news agents through' out the coQntry. Price, at retail, 50 cents. The Crops in Illinois. — A letter from Illinois says:— ** The wheat harvest has already commenced in southern Illinois, and the yield is said to be better than ever known before in that part of the State. The prospect for a good crop of torn in ‘ Egypt* is favorable. Fruit in that region will be abundaßt. Peaches were injured here by the late frosts, and the insects will probably destroy all that remain. After talking the accounts all the drawbacks the next crops, Illinois will be able to reed all the Eastern States from her surplus.| Money Found.-|— A box containing several thousand dollars ta Tennessee bank bills was found a day or two since in Cohocksink creek, near Philadelphia. It is believed that the money is a part.o: ‘ that stolen from the bank at Jackson, Miss., when the clerk, Geo. Miller, was murdered, 01 the 2d day of February last. IMPORTANT, FROM EUROPE* GREAT BATTLE! THE ALLIES VICTORIOUS! St. Johns, N. FI. July 6, The steamship Adelaide has arrived at this port, from Galway on the 25th, bringing London and Liverpool advices of Saturdays noon, received by telegraph. The news is of a highly important character. The Empress of France had received a telegram! from Napoleon on Friday evening, announcing that a terrible battle had been fought, and the allied forces had achieved a great victory. y - r The entire Austrian army had formed in line of battle, extending a distance of five leagues. The battle lasted from four o’clock in the morning until 8 in the evening. The French captured. a number of flags, pieces of cannon and prisoners. A dispatch from Vienna says a battle was progressing, but gives no details. The previous accounts from the seat of war said the Austrian force on the Mincio was fully 280,000 strong; that the entire French force had passed Montechiaro, and their reconnoissance was said to have bad advanced toward Peschiera, the northwest fortification of the historic square. Prussia had demanded permission to march 30,000 troops through Hanover to the Rhine. It was believed that the basis of the proposed mediation of Prussia would not be acceptable to France, and Prussia would thereby be involved in the war. It was also rumored that Prussia had threatened to assist in suppressing the meditated insurrectionary movements in Hungary. The Swiss troops which were sent from Rome to suppress the rising at Perugia, have had a desperate encounter with the people, shooting them down indiscriminately. LATER FROM EUROPE, LATER WAR NEWS. Farther Point, below Quebec, ] July 8, 1859. . j The steamship Hungarian, from Liverpool, has passed this point on her way to Quebec. She brings dates to Wednesday, the 29th ult., and has made the trip to this point in about nine days. FROM THE-BEAT OF WAR. There have been no movements reported by the Allies since the battle of the 24th. The details of the action have not been received. The Austrian and Sardinian accounts report extraordinarily heavy losses in killed and wounded. The dispatches from the Emperor Napoleon report the capture of six thousand prisoners, three flags, and thirty cannon. The Austrian troops have re crossed the Mincio. General Hess has been appointed comman der in chief of the Austrian forces London, June 29. —The latest dispatches from the seat of war report that the French troop* have crossed the Mincio. STILL LATER. A dispatch, dated tKe 25th June, from the Emperor to the Empress Eugenie, says that the enemy withdrew last night, and that he slept in the room occupied in the raorniog by the Emperor of Austria. Gen. Niel has been appointed Marshal of France. The Austrian troops crossed the Mincio for the purpose of attacking the French, with their whole force, but were obliged to aban don their position, and withdraw to the left bank of the river, after blowing up the bridges at Gorta. The Emperor also says—“We took thirty cannon, and seven thousand prisoners.” A private dispatch 6ays that of the Aus trians thirty fiv® thousand were placed hors de combat, and lost sixteen flags and seventy five cannon. There has been no circumstan tial account of the battle published at Paris. Private dispatches intimate that the French army has suffered so severely as to be unable to reoume the offensive. Vague rumors also put the French loss in killed ami wounded at twelve thousand. The battle wns fought at Salferino. The Austrians are preparing for another great battle, under Gen. Hess, who has al ready displaced Gen. Schlick as commander in chief. The Emperor Napoleon issued a stirring address to the army after the battle of Salfer ino. The Austrian dispatches acknowledge that they were obliged to retreat, after suffering extraordinarily heavy losses. The Emperor Napoleon was constantly in the hottest part of the battle, and Gen. Larrey, who accompanied him, had his horse killed under him. Gen. Neil’s corps crowned themselves with giorj. The Sardinians fought with great fury against superior numbers. The Emperor of Austria is to return to Vienna on important business. A Paris correspondent of the London Times says that another battle is expected, and is considered as inevitable, before the siege ope rations can commence. Large reinforcements are constantly leaving France. The attack on Venice was expected to com mence on the 28th. One hundred and seventy-five thousand troops from the Austrian reserves were on their way to Italy. They are called the flower of the Austrian army, every man having served upwards of eight years. Five French generals were wounded at the battle of Salferino. It is rumored that an English fleet of 25 sail was arriving off Venice. The Gazette de France says that prepa rations are making to raise within two months, an army of 450,000 men. Great naval preparations are going on at Cherbourne. A dispatch received at Paris from Cariani, on the 29th ult., says that the French troops passed the Mincio without interruption, the onemy having withdrawn therefrom. On the 25th ult., Prussia made a proposal to'the Federal Diet to place an army of observation on the Rhine, under the superior orders of Bavaria. The proposal was referred to the Military Committee. It was reported that the Emperor of Austria would soon have an interview with the Prince Regent of Prussia. The English news is not important. SAFETY ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. The Pittsburgh Post , in an article on the recent fatal casuality on the Southern Michi gan Railroad, in the course of which it refers to similar occurrences on other lines, within six years, resulting in the death of 393, and the wounding of 612 persons, says: “ It is a remarkable and note worthy fact, which speaks volumes for the management of those roads, that not oDe of those terrible disasters have occurred upon the Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago roads. These two roads compose the longest line in the country. Both are under the direction and control of a man who is admit ted to possess the greatest administrative ability in railroad matters of any man in the world, J. Edgar Thomson, Esq. His control ling intellect regards with almost superhuman power, the details of this immense iron .line which connects the East with the West, and so admirably are the subdivisions of direction and authority apportioned among men of exact adaptation, each to his position, that the whole thing appears to move like a vast and perfeofc machine. As a consulting engineer, Mr. Thomson's great talents are rendered useful to half the railroads of the country.— His judgment, his prudence, his great regard for the safety and welfare of the traveling community, are most successfully shown in the whole history of the roads over which he at present presides. He has built up and perfected the best and largest railroad in. the world, the safest to travel upon, the best managed for the interests both of the stock holders and the community. In railroading he has done for the public an inestimable benefit in showing how exactly all things can be reduced to a perfect system and governed by rules equal and just to all, and at the same time inuring to the public welfare. “The contrast between the railroad line from Philadelphia to Chicago and other routes through the country is marked when each accidents as those above referred to occur.— The moral effect of. such a record as the Pennsylvania route presents, is most potent upon the traveling community when painfully fatal disasters elsewhere are recorded. No niggard economy here compels the public to risk their lives; no carelessness or neglect is permitted to pass unnoticed and unpunished. The public has perfect confidence in its safety, and its prosperity follows as the direot conse quence of its admirable management." CITY AND COUNT Y "AFFAIRS . The Glorious Fourth—Celebration of thb Dat cr ahd aboct Lajjc azter.—The 83d Anniversary of the birth of American Independence was observed in the usual manner in this city by the ringing of the churcb j Are and other bells, parade of military, fte. When the bells tolled the hour of midnight on Sunday the Fourth com menced in real earnest. A heavy salvo of artillery by the Shiftier Hose, No. 7, in the southern part of the dtji aa anotmeed its advent, which was the signal for a general discharge of firearms of every, conceivable description all over the city. After that thna sleep was impossible to those who wished to enjoy its soothing repose. In the expressive language of an old English colporterer we wot of, “sleep wouldn’t come to oar h-eyes, nor slumber to onr h eyelids.” At 4 o'clock the bells sent forth a merry peal, which was continued at intervals of every two hoars : dnriog the day, and a salute of 13 rounds of canooh fired. At 12 o’clock 33 rounds were fired, and at sunset 13 rounds. The Fencibles paraded a* 6 o’clock, A. SL, and made as nsual a fine pppearance. Salutes were fired by them in different quarters of the city. Thq Jackson Rifles paraded at the same hour with full ranks, and attracted much attention by their correct marching and manccnvering. The balance of the day was celebrated by every person on their “own hook.” Many hundreds of onr citizens spent the day at Litiz, Wabank and other rural resorts.— Various private parties and pic Lies were also held. “Young America,” with bis accustomed wont, wasted a full supply of gunpowder in the shape of different missiles. The even ing was given np to the kindling of huge bonfires and displays of fire-works in all sections of the city. — Tax Fourth-at Linz.—The day was-celebrated in this delightful village in the happiest style. One of the main features of the day was the arrival of the Fencibles in the afternoon, accompanied by their splendid Band. Their arrival was announced by salntes from the “Warwick Democrat.” After parading the village and firing salntes they were dismissed at the Spring. At 6 o’clock, in com pany with hundreds of civilians, they sat down to a sump tuous repast, prepared by oar good friend Licbtenthaleb, of the Litiz Springs Hotel. The illumination of the Spring and grounds attached in the eveningwas one of the grand est sights we ever beheld. It excited the wonder and admiration of the vast number of spectators in attendance. The Fencibles remained on the gronnd until abont 9 o'clock, P. M, and then left for home delighted with their trip. The citizens of Litiz may well feel proad of the manner in which they commemorated the Fourth. Thb Fourth at Columbia —The day passed very quietly and pleasantly iu (his borough, as we learn from the Spy, celebrated with the usual consumption of powder by the boys all day long, and by a parade of the Cadets of Temperance in the afternoon. The procession was a very creditable one. The boys turned ont well and looked very neat in their tastefal regalia. They were headed by the Columbla National Band, and marched through our princi pal streets. The Lancaster Section took part in the parade, and was composed of a fine looking, manly, well-behaved set of boys. Previous to forming in procession the Cadets were presented, by the Ladies of the Order of Good Templars, with a handsome Bible. The presentation was made through Miss Susan Lemmon, and the book was received on the part of the Cadets by Rev. G. M. Clawges. After the parade James Black, Esq., of this city, eloquently addressed the Cadets in the Odd Fellow’s Hall. The audience was much pleased with Mr. Black’s appropriate remarks. The Fourth at Mount Jot. —The citizens celebration on the 4th at the Cove, we learn from the Herald, was one long to be remembered, though it assumed more the phase of a mammoth picnic, in which each seemed determined to enjoy the day in the'manner most agreeable to them. Upwards of five hundred persona were present and noth ing occurred to mar the harmony of the occasion—no accidents, no drunkenness, no obscenity. It gave more universal satisfaction than any affair of the kind over held at this place. The ladies were well represented, and an array of beauty present which few towns would be able to excel. The band enlivened the scene with choice airs occasionally, while Is the afternoon the Washington Rifles’ visited the grounds, under the charge of Capt. Gallagher and his efficient Lieutenants. The festivities of the day were closed by a grand display of flre-works furnished for the citizens by the energetic and patriotic principal of the Mount Joy Academy. The Fourth at Elizabethtown. —The day was celebrated in an appropriate manner in thiß borough. The Frieud. ship Fire Company paraded in citizens’ dress, and made a very creditable display, after which a meeting was organ ized In Centre Bquare, the Declaration of Independence read by Samuel Eby, Esq., and speeches apnropriate to the occasion made by John A. Gross and William Booting. Tiie Fourth at Manheim.— Monday, the 83d anuiversary of our National Independence, was nshered in, In this placi'. In murtbtl music and the firing o; cannon. There being no general celebralii.n of the day, the Sentinel says the parade of the Manheim Rifles in the morning, and the firing of Chinese crackers by “ Youug America,” were the only demonstrations visible during the day in town. As stated last week the Rifles and Continental Cadets spent the afternoon at the Indian Spring, and wo understand had quite a jolly time of it. In the evening a party was given at one of onr Hotels, where those so disposed had an opportunity to “ shake their mortal frames,” by “trip ping on the light fantastic toe,” and which we learn was kept up to the “wee amae” hours of the morning. The day passed of quietly, and nothing occnrod to mar the general good feeling that prevailed. The Fourth ar Marietta. —The Fourth -was celebrated by a large number of the citizens of Marietta at the “Wild Cat Ron.’’ A sumptuous dinner was served up by Mr -Nagle, of the Railroad Hotel. The Declaration of lode, pendeuce was read by Mr. C. D. Mebafpet, of Philadelphia, and nn oration delivered by Col. S. 11. Folton. of the same city. The participants doubtless had a good time. The Fourth at Safe Harbor. —The day was very patri otically celebrated in this village by the .loues Artillery who fired 63 rounds of cannon at 4 o’clock, A. M. A dinner was given at the Mansion House, which wan partaken of by the Jones Artillery and a large uumber of citizens.— The Declaration of Independence was read, and a few really eloquent and appropriate remarks made by Charles ,T, Rhodes, Esq. The Burglars. —Ehrman Huber, Charles Klioger and George Heiney were finally committed by the Mayor, on Tuesday last, for trial at the August Sessions, for having entered and robbed the gate-keeper at Witmer’s Bridge, (Peter Iluber.) of $2OO, on the previous Friday morning. They all three confessed to the crime. The two women arrested were discharged by the Mayor, there being no evidence to convict them of being accomplices, except spending part of the money, which the men told them they had won by gambling. Hnber had but $1 left of his share when arrested, Heiney $6.03, and Klinger $91.43. This latter sum was found con cealed in a hog-pon by officer Kuhns, to whom Klinger divulged the fact after ho was in Prison. To officer Gundaker the credit is mainly due for tracing up the robbery and bringing thooffenders to speedy justice. In this good work, and especially in making the arrests so promptly, be was ably second by officers Uobhlet and KuhNS, both of whom were energetic and efficient in the discharge of their duties. Officer Baker assisted in con ducting the offenders to Prisoo. —Heiney has since entered ball in $5OO before Judge Long for his appearance at Court. Yeager Arrested. —The man, Henry Yea ger, who robbed the chest of the Messrs. Wagoner, near this city, on the morning of the let lust., was followed to Reading, arrested there by Mr. John L. Shober, and brought back here on the 4th inst., when he was taken before the Mayor and committed to Prison (in default of ball) for his appearance on Wednesday. A portion of the money—about $l27 —was found upon his person, together with some jewelry which he had purchased with a portion of the money. After be was in Prison a day he confessed his crime and waived the hearing. A full commitment was thereupon sent up to the Prison by Alderman Frick, before whom the original proceedings were instituted, and he will have his trial at the August Court. Suit was also instituted against Yeager by Mr. Emanuel Shober, proprietor of the Eagle Hotel, North Queen street, charging him with having stolen bis horse, wagon and harness, under pretence of hiring them to ride a few miles Into the country. He had a hearing on Thursday morning before the Mayor, and was committed for trial. Election of Major General.—The elec tion for Major Generals of the different Divisions of Mili tary throughout the State took place on the 4th lost. In this Division, composed of the counties of Lancaster and Chester, Brig. General Babtram A. Shaeffer, of this city, was eleeted, receiving 36 out of 44 votes polled. In this coun ty every vote, 29 in number, waa cast for him. We congratu late Gen. S. on his promotion, and the 2d Division on Its excellent choice. The General, barring his ugly politics, Is an able, efficient and coorteous State Senator. More over he is a whole-souled gentleman, and will perform the duties of his new position with fidelity and true soldierly dignity. Supposed Suicide Br Drowning. —The body of Barbara Schnupp was found in the bottom of a well on the premises of her mother, Rosanna Schnupp, in East Earl township, bordering on the Welsh mountain, about twelve o’clock on Saturday night, July 2d. She came to her mother’s about six o’clock the same evening on a visit, and seemed as usual. She was In conversation with (he female portion of the family till nine o’clock or thereabouts, when they were preparing to retire. She having divested herself of some of her wearing apparel, went ont of the hoose without saying a word. As she did not return immediately, they edited, but received no an swer. As a storm was about to burst forth they became alarmed, and immediate search was made, the brothers having been called from a distant barn, where they had been working at a late hour at the hay, came to assist the mother and sister in the search. All was in vain, till about midnight, when she waa discovered in the bottom of a well forty feet deep, dead. The body was not taken out however, till Sunday morning, when an ioquest was held over it by Daniel 8. Geist, Esq. A post mortem examina tion was made by Dr. Samuel Riugwalt, whose statement, was that she came to her death by drowning—receiving no severe injuries by the fall,save that ora broken limb. No reason could be assigned for going to the well, as the water was never need for household purposes. After a careful investigation the jury could render no other ver dict than that the drowning was wilful. No clue whatever could be found to account for committing such a rash act. She was a single person, aged abont 40 years. e Harvest. —The wheat harvest is now pretty well over in this vicinity, and, from all accounts, It has been the heaviest yield ever made in La ncaster county.— The weather could not have been fluer for harvesting than daring the last ten days or twd weeks, and,the crops of bay and grain have been housed in the best condition.— The oats crop also looks promising. The Great Balloon Voyage from St. Lotjiß to Jefferson Couvtt, N. Y , nr 18 Hours — Tarillixo Adventuexs —A Plunge nrro i.*** Ontario — Descent into a Tree—A Huge Luis Cabsied Awat—Collapse I 5 An other Tree— Ma. Wise’s Narrative. —The monster anal voyage of the 19th century bta.heen accomplished bjr .the efforts of the world-renowned .Sronant, John Web, Esq., of this city On arriving at Albany, Mr. Wist sent the following thrilling narrative of the perilous voyage to The Hew York Tribune: Although it was intended to. have started on this voyage on the 23d of June, we were delayed in our preparations until the Ift of July. By 6 o’clock, P. M.. the air-ship At lantic was duly inflated, and while we were potting her id trim with ballast and provisions, Mr. Brooks, lessee of the SL Louis Moßenm, who bad kindly volunteered to escort ns over the Mississippi in his balloon Comet, got ready for the occasion, and upon a signal agreed ascended from the ground. At 7.20, P. IL, the Atlantic was ready to sail.— Messrs. La Mountain and Gager, thinking some difficulty might arise at the start if they .should attach the tan-wheels to the shafts and wheel gearing, determined to omit that nntil we shonld be fairly under way next mornlog. Hav ing had much experience in hard winds, and the perils of landing a balloon under them, we had constructed at St. Louis a good wickerwork car, (which, with a good and strong concentric hoop, are life-preservers in these perils.) which hung between the boat and balloon, and about 8 feet above the former and within 6 feet of the hoop, so that the neck of the balloon hang in the basket car whenever the balloon was fully distended. The boat contained 600 lb a. of ballast, one bucket of water, one backet of lemonade, with an abundance of bread, wine, poultry and sandwiches, I besides delicacies too numerous to enumerate, furnished :by kind friends. Mr. La Mountain took command of the 1 boat and ballast, and took his place on one end; Mr. Gager took the other end, and took charge of the charts and compass; Mr. Hyde, local editor of the St. Louis Republi can, took bis seat In the middie, with note book and pencil, as historian. Although Mr. Hyde was not in the original programme, we unanimously sgreed to let him accompany üb, provided it would not interfere with our ultimate de sign ; and it was arranged that, under any circumstances, when the balloon should fail, the boat and Its occupants shonld be disposed of, and myself or Mr. La Mountain should proceed with the vojage alone. , The basket contained 350 pounds of ballast, a barometer, wet and' dry bulb, theimometer, besides a quantity of wines and provisions; and I took my place Id the basket and charge of the valve rope, and, as director of the general plan of the voyage, by the unanimous consent of the party engaged in this long-devised enterprise. I must say here that-Mr. La Mountain took in charge a part of the pro gramme that none but a cool head and a most accomplished sronaot could be trusted with, and especially the night saillDg. At 7.20, P. M., we set sail from the Washington Square of SL Louis, and oar course at starting was north of easL When we got up and over the Mississippi and well under way, we saw Mr. Brooks land in a clear place about sunset. At 8.30, P. M., the shades of the evening shut from our view the noble city of St Louis and the Father of Waters, though it contiuued light until after 9. Mr. La Mountain haviog suffered from sickness on Thursday, and being too unwell to'work hard under a burning sun at the inflation, left much hard labor for me at that work. I submitted the whole thing to his charge for the night, with the un derstanding to have me waked whenever he wanted the valve worked, aud he took it with alaonty. Before I went to sleep we bad mounted to a height at which the balloon had become completely distended, and where we found the current due east. Here it became chilly, and Mr. l.a Mountalo, as well as all of us, suffered from the change of air; and with all the clothiug we could put on us it was still uncomfortable, though the thermometer stood at 42, and the barometer at 23, and this was the lowest of both instruments during the whole voyage, except the crossing of Lake Ontario. Mr. La Mouutain proposed to take the lower current as long as it would take ub bat a few points north of east, and I told him to do as he deemed best, and report his reckoning in the morning. After bidding the party in the boat a good night and God speed. I coiled myself up in blankets, and laid down as best I could, and in a few mo ments was sound asleep, and knew of nothing but repose until 11.30, P. M. At this time Mr. La Mountain again mounted for the upper current; being desirous of making a little more east ing, be bailed me to open the valve, as the balloon had become so tense, aud the gas was rusbiDg from the nsck with a noise, but finding no answer from me, he suspected that I was being smothered in the gns, and he admonished Mr. Gager to mount to my car by a rope provided for that purpose, and Mr. Gager found me breatblugspasmodically, but a good shaking and the removal of the neck of the bal loon from my face, with plenty of pure cold air arouod me, soon brought me back t-o a knowledge of wbat was going and I resolved to sleep no more during the night. At midnight I felt quite well, with an invigorated spirit of observation and interest in our experiment. The whole dome of heaven was lit up with a mellow -phosphorescent light, the stars shone with a crystalline brilliancy; and the milky way looked like an illuminated stratum of cum ulons clouds. Whenever we crossed water the heaven-lit dome was as visible below by reflection aB above. So re markable was this phosphorescent light of the atmosphere that the balloon looked translucent, and looked like light shining through oiled paper. We could also tell prairie from forest, and by keeping the eye for a moment down ward we could Bee the roads, fences, fields, and even houses, quite distinctly at an elevation not over a mile, and even at the greatest elevation we could discern prairie from woodland, and from water. Whenever we halloed it was followed by a distinct echo, and even this served as a differential index to height. We always tound a response in numerous how-wow-wows, and these, too, were always indicative of the fullness and sparseness of the habitations below, as we could bear them for many miles around us. Mr.. La Mountain remarked that nobody lived Id that country but dogs, or else the people barked like dogs, be having got a little oat of humor because nobody would tell him in what State we were sailiog, and he gave up the inquiry with the remark that it must be over some other country than America, as we had been moving along at a rapid pace. % At 3, A. M., Saturday, we came to a general concloslon that we were somewhere over the State of Indiana or Ohio. At 4, A. M., wo passed a city, but could not mak« it out, but at 5, A. >l., wo discovered Lake Erie ahead of us. nod then concluded that the city we left a little south of our track must have been Fort Wayue At 6, A. M., we passed Toledo, and about an hour afterward we lowered on the margin of tbo Lake a little north of Sandusky. After a few moments consultation, and a review of our ballast, we determined to risk the length of Lake Erie, and to test the notion that balloons cannot be kept up long over water, because of some peculiar affinity of the two —a notion that never had any belief with me. Just as we merged upon the Lake, a little steam-screw that was prnpelliue up the river or bay beaded for our track, and some one aboard of her very quaintly cried aloud to us: “That is the Lake ahead of you.” Mr. La Mountain cried back, “Is it Lake Erie ?” and the answer was, “Yes, it is, and you had better look out.” Our good friend, the propeller, finding that we discarded his kindness, rounded off again, sounded us a good-by with bip steam whistle, aud went bis way up the river. Here we mounted up until the balloon got full, and the barometer fell to 23, in order to make along near the southern shore of the Lake, but at Mr. La Mountain’s sug gestion, that we could make the city of Buffalo by sailing but a few hundred feet above the surfaceof the water, lopened the valve until we gradually sank to within five hundred feet of the water. Here wo found a gentle gale of about a speed of a mile per minute, and we resolved to float on it until we should heave in sight of Buffalo, and then rise and sail over it. This was a most interesting part of our voyage. We overtook seven steamboats, passed mutual salutations, and would soon leave them flitting on the hor izon in our rear. One of these lonely travelers remarked as we passed him.‘'You are going it like thunder.” At 10.20, A. M., we were skirting along the Canada shore and passed near the mouth of the Weliaud Csmal, and soon began to mount for our mo6t easterly current, so as tn take Buffalo In our track, but we circled up into it between Buffalo aDd Niagara Falls, crossing Grand Island, leaving Buffalo to the right and Lockport to the left of us in our onward course. Findlog ourselves in the State of New York, but too far north to make the City of New York, it was agreed that we would make a landing near Rochester, detach the boat, leave out Mr. Gager and Mr. Hyde, and Mr. La Mountain and myself pursue the voyage to a point at Boston or Portland. Accordingly we descended gradu ally, but before we got within & thousand feetof the earth, we found a most terrific gale sweeping aloDg below. The woods roared like & host of Niagaras, the surface of the earth was Ailed with clouds of dust, and I told my friends certain destruction awaited us if we should touch the earth in that tornado. The huge ‘‘Atlantic” was making a ter rific sweep earthward; already were we near the tops of the trees of a tall forest, and 1 cried out somewhat excited ly, ‘ lor God’s sake, heave overboard anything you can lay your bands on, La Mountain;” and in another moment he responded “all right,” standing on the slue of the boat with a shaft and wheels, intended for the working of the fan wheels, and ready to heave them over should it become necessary. Mr. Hyde looked up to my car, and very solemnly said, “This is an exciting time, Professor. What shall we do?” “Trust to Providence and all our energies,” said I. We were fast running on to Lake Ontario, and oh 1 how torri bty it was foaming, moaning aDd howling. 1 said, “La Mountain, T have 150 poonds of ballast in my CAr yet, and a heavy valise, an Express bag, (sent to the U. 8. Express Company's office in Broadway, New York,) and & lot of provisions.” “Well, If that won’t do, I will cut up the boat for ballast, and we can keep above water until we reach the opposite shore,” which was near a hundred miles off in the direction wo were then going. Here I handed my ballast down to La Mountain, as we were rapidly mounting above the terrific gale, believing that by that course we should at least get out of its main track. Everything now indicated that we should perish in the water or on the land, and our only salvation was to keep afloat until we got out of the gale, if we could. I said, “Yoa must all get into the basket, If you want to be saved, should we ever reach the land. Aad I truly tell you that the perils of the land are even more terrible than those of the water, with our machines; and it wonld be easier to meet death by drowning than to have our bodies maugled by dashing against rocks and trees.” By this time Mr. Gager and Mr. Hyde had clambered into the basket with me. Mr. nyde said very coolly, “I am prepared to die, bat I would rather die on land than in the water.” I said, “What do you say, Mr. Gager?” He replied, “I would rather meet it on land; but do as you think best.” Mr. La Mountain was busily engaged in collecting what be could for ballast. Everything was now valoabln to ns that had weight. Our carpet bags, our instruments, the Express bag, our provisions, wore all ready to go, &Dd go they did, one after another, until we were reduced to the Express bag—that went overboard last. We dow descried the shore, some forty miles ahead, peering between a sombre bank ot clouds and the water horizoD, bnt we were swooping at a fearful rate upon the turbulent water, and, in another moment, crash went the boat upon the water sideways, staving in two of the planks, and giving our whole craft two fearful jerks by two suc ceeding waves. La Mountain stuck to the boat like a hero, but lost his hat, and got a dash of the waves, but soon re covered and threw over the Express bag and the last re maining ballast, and cried out, “Be easy, gentlemen, I’ll have her afloat once more.” In another moment we were up a few hundred feet again, and the steam-propeller Young America was tacking across our track. I dow pro posed to swamp the boat and balloon in the lake, and trust to being picked up by the Young America, but the desire was that we should make the shore and try the land, and as we crossed the bow of the steamer they gave us a hearty hurrah. La Mountain had now cut out of the boat all be could, and we were yjithin fifteen miles of the shore, the gale still raging below. La Mountain might have remained in the boat below, and jumped out at the first touching of the earth, and I saw no impropriety in that, as then we might have had another hour or two to wait the lulling of the galo; bnt he said he wonld share our fate, and be also clambered into the basket, just as we were reaching the land. I saw by the swaying to and fro of the lofty trees into which we must inevitably dasb, that our worst perils were at band, bnt I still bad a blind hope that we would be saved. I ordered two men upon the valve rope, and we struck within a hundred yards of the water, amoDg some scattered trees, our hook, which was of inch and a quarter iron, breaking like a pipe stem at the first catch of it in a tree, and we weotharliDg through the tree tops at a fear ful rate. After dashing along this way for Dearly a mile, crashing and breaking down trees, we were dashed most fearfully into the boughs of a tall elm, so that the basket swung under and np through the crotch of the limb, and while the boat bad canght in some of the other branches, aDd this brought us to a little, but in another moment the “Atlantic” puffed up her huge proportions, and at one swoop away went the limb, basket aDd boat into the air a hundred feet, and I was afraid sonie of the crew were im paled upon the scrags. This limb, about eight inches thick at the butt, and full of branches, not weighing less than six or eight hundred pounds, proved too much for the “Atlantic,” and it brought her suddenly down upon the top of a very tall tree and collapsed her. It was a fearful pluoge, bnt it left us daogling between heaven and earth, iu the most sorrowful-looking plight of machinery that can be imagined. None of us were seriously injured, the many cords, the strong hoop made of wood and iron, and the close wicker work basket saving ns from harm, os long as the machinery hung together, and that could not have lasted two minutes longer. We came to the land, or rather tree, of Mr. T. 0. Whit ney, town of Henderson, Jefferson county, New York. We will eoon have the “Atlantic” rebuilt, for what, I hope, may prove a more successful demonstration of what we proposed to do on this interesting occasion Btaitwix Hall, Albast, July 3,1869.

Upon % farther examination lt-wo» found that the animal had been tied up in suchia manner that he conld not get his headtolbe gronpd,and appearances indicated that he had bees there sersnl days. The ptnr animal had eattm off all thelsaves and branches within his reach, aud some that hod fslleh down were withered as if they hod been there several days. ; Upon taking the horse oat it was found that he was so weak he could scarcely walk, although naturally a fine, targe and strong animal. Our informant thinks he wss of the bay color. He was taken to the Gap and properly'cared for, where he awaits the appearance of an owner. _ MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT —MAS AND HOBSS KILLED.—On Saturday night,abont ten o’clock,as a man waapassiogup the railroad, a short distance above Christiana, he dlscov. ered a man and a horse lying upon the track. They were lying almost directly under the bridge which crosses over the railroad at that point, and the side or banister of the bridge beiog broken, it is supposed that he was riding past very rapidly, on account of the storm coming up. and it being quite dark, probably neither the man nor the horse observed the abrupt angle the bridge forms with the com mon road at that point, and running on the railing It gave way, precipitating both on the railroad below. The necks of both were broken. Upon farther inquiry it was found that the unfortunate deceased was Smoker Rockey, a young man of twenty or twenty-ooe yeirs of age, who iived up the valley ooe.or two miles above' Christiana. Infamous Outrage by a Negro.—On Saturday an out rage of a most diabolical character was committed upon the person of a little girl named Connelly, about ten years of age, whose parents reside in Salisbury, near the Hap.— The details of the outrage as related to ub are too disgusting and revolting for publication', but the offence is too heinous to be passed by in silence. It seems that the child was from home in u retired spot gathering raspberries, when she b\ a negro man. who attempted to outrage her perron. Falling to accomplish his diabolical purpose, by mere brnte force, he consummated the act by the aid of mechanical means! The poor child was barely able to . walk home and inform -her mother of what had occurred. Dr. Boon was called in. when an examination confirmed the shocking truth of the child’s story. Of coarse such an occurrence naturally excited great indignation in the community, &Dd several negroes were arrested upon sus picion of being the guilt** party, but upon being presented before the girl for identification none of them proved to be the guilty fiend. The girl is confident she could identify the negro in question, and we sincerely hope so vile a wretch will not be allowed to longer curse the face of the earth with his beastly footsteps. Iladbebeencaaght when the facts of the onlrage became known, sQtnmar.v vengeance would doubtless have been inflicted upon him.

The Golden Age—Gold Supplies. —When people croak about the alarmiog rate at which gold is sometimes shipped from the United States, they do not regard tho subject in all its aspects. They forget what an enormous original production of gold is constantly going on in our country. When the only knowD productive gold mines in the Union were those of the Southern States, whose yield was very moderate, there might have been reason to fear that the country would be exhausted of its precious metals, and then it would have been alarming if we should have been called on to seDd abroad from fifty to sixty millions in a year. But since 1848, California alone has produced nearly five hundred millions of dollars in gold, that is to say, the reports of steamers 7 manifests and the statistics of coinage indicate such a sum. But when it is considered that the manifests do not report all the shipments, and that vast quantities of gold are not coined, but are consumed in the arts, it is probable that the aggregate production of California gold,from June, 1848, to June, 1859, will oome near eight hundred millions, Such figures as these are amazing, and it is because they are so little understood and so seldom brought before the public mind, that pedple get nervous when a steamer quits New. York for Europe with a million or two on board. They do not comprehend that in spite of panics and nervousness the whole net amount of specie exported during the past eleven years is scarcely more than half the estimated total amount of California gold produced. Speaking within bounds, and allowing liberally for exaggeration in the statement of our gold product, we are certainly richer in the precious metals by two or three hundred millions than wo were in 1848. California, moreover, is a steady and permanent field, from which we may safely count upoD obtaining a certain annual gold crop. It has ceased to be precarious and doubtful. The gold crop is quite as sure a thing as tho cotton or the corn crop ; and improved modes of mining, by a settled community who devote themselves to it as the business of their lives, are likely to make tbe production of gold increase considerably for some time to come.— N.

JOHN WISE. [From the New Orleans Picayune, June 28th ] NEWS FROM MEXICO. A conducta of §5,000,000 specie left the City of Mexico on the 28th of May for Vera Cruz. About one third of the money belonged to American, the rest to french, English and German merchants. The couduota was detained at the city of Puebla two days, for wbat reason is nut stated, but arrived at Jalapa on the 10th of June. There it was detained for the space of seven days by Gen. Robles, “ for examination,” as he asserted. On the 16th the conducta again got started, with a permit from Robles to proceed without further detention to Vera Cruz. It was attended by an armed escort, and proceeded the first day as far as Corral Falso. Oa the 17th the conducta left Corral Falso for the Puente National, (National Bridge,) where it had been arranged to meet the escort sent to receive it by the Juarez Government, the money having thus far been ander the escort of the opposite, or Church party. The conducta, however, was still several leagues distant from the National Bridge, when it was overtaken by Robles, at the head of an armed force, and ordered to return to Jalapa. This order was given, as asserted, in pursuance of fresh instructions that morn ing received from the Miramon government at the capital. The conducta, however, refused to turn back. Robles then ordered it to proceed to the Macambo Beaoh, outside the walls of Vera Cruz, opposite the island of Sacrificios, but by no means to enter the city or receive an escort from the liberal government. At Sacrificios it was to be shipped on board the Eogiish men of war there anchored., These were the orders froip Mexico. When this became known there was great excitement at Vera Cruz. A meeting of the merchants win at once called and held on the 20th. It was there resolved to send a deputation to Robles to treat with him to permit the conducta to pass. In the meantime the French and English commanders at Vera Cruz, had been consulted on the matter, and refused permission to have the specie taken on board their ships. This being known, the French and English Consuls joined the deputation of merchants, and proceeded direct to Robles' camp- On the 21st, also, the United States Minister, Mr. McLaue, ordered Captain Farragut, of the United States steam sloop of war Brooklyn, accompanied by his lieutenant, to proceed at once to Robles’ camp to demand release of the money belonging to the American and Hanseatic merchants, amouot* ing to one third of the whole or upwards of $1,501),000. On the 22nd an express arrived at Vera Cruz with official des atohes from Robles to the English and French commanders, with the special orders of the English and French Ministers to the commanders to receive the specie of the conducta on board their ships, at Sacrificios. The commanders, however, still persisted in their refusal to have anything to do with the money, and the English fleet subsequently moved up to the city. At last accouuts, the conducta was still at the post village of Riconda, under the orders of Robles. Captain Farragut was expected baok to Vera Cruz on tho 23rd or 24th. Nothing was known of Robles’ final determination in the matter up to the hour of the departure of the Tennessee. Gen. Paez has been stationed at the National Bridge, at the head of a large force, with orders from the Juarez government not to allow Robles to pass that point. AFFAIRS IN THE INTERIOR. Advices from the City of Mexico are to the 19th. “The .same strife aud disorder continues to exist here,” says a letter, “that we have since the retnrn of Miramon and the dreadful day of Tacubnya. In the meantime robberies are daily becoming more and more frequent on the highways, unheard ofexactiong are made upon the people in the city, 'while the chiefs, Zuloaga, Miramon, Padre Miranda, Azcavate and Bonilla are filling well thejr purses from buth sources.” A curious evout in the ever bubbling political world of Mexico is the organization at the capital of what is called the “Conserva tive Society,” similar in its objects and rules to the celebrated Esoozosas and Yorkinos Societies, which so many years divided this aiwuys distracted country. Outside of the Miramon government, it is nevertheless composed for the most part of members of it, whose object is thereby tho more firmly to cement their power. The leading article subjects the whole society to the authority of five individuals residing at the capital, who are of course to be Miramon and his satellites. It may of his acquaintances in this city to loacn that Goa. Mariano Salas has been appointed chief of tbe staff in Mexico. Sr. D. Pedro Garay has been appointed Treasurer of the Vera Cruz Custom IJouse, and D. Rafael Cevallos Chief of the Police during the temporary absence of Senor Vila. According to the Vera Cruz Progresso, Gens. Corouado and Pesqueira, of Sonora, have both recognized General Zuazua as Commander in Chief of the Constitutional Army. This at once doesL.away with the rumor we had by way of Arizona, that they were about to set themselves up as a great Northwestern Republic. The same paper mentions the departure from Monterey of 000 Tamaulipae riflemen, and two regiments from New Leon, with a well appointed battery, to reinforce the Constitutional army at San Luis Potosi. A POWERFUL APPEAL, The Washington Stales, in an able artiole on the disunion sentiments promulgated by Senator Seward, and the danger that would result from the elevation of this Abolition leader to the Presidency, thus eloquently appeals to the people of our noble old 1 " Com monwealth: .[ “ Is Pennsylvania prepared to contribute her assistance to tbe destruction of tbe beautiful arch, of which, from the day of its construc tion, she has been the reliable key-stone? We confidently believe otherwise. What would she be without the Union? Where would she go? That prosperous future for her, which is steadily looming up in her iron and coal mines, in her fields and forests, in her advanced and advancing system of internal improvements, would never be a perfect realization were the slaveholding States driven to the sad alternative—in vindi cation of their honor, their rights, and their interests —of pronouncing an everlasting separation with the States of the North. She would lose, unquestionably, her most profit able customers for her various surplus products. Every industrial * pursuit would soon be fouod iu an irrecoverably languishing condition. The non slaveholding States would require but little of her yield. She could not expect the slaveholding States, were she to array herself under the banner of Sewardism, and thus occasion the dismemberment of the republic, to be moro favorable in their trade intercourse with her than to place the articles of her growth and manufacture upon an equality with those of the growth and manu facture of European countries. Under suoh circumstances, her material condition would be worse than it was during the most cheer less days of her Colonial bondage. The natural advantages which she possesses Tor enlarged welfare, and which she has been turning with unrelaxing exertion to valuable account, would stand out in perpetual, bold relief to tantalize her with the enormous mistake which she had committed in cruelly driving from her the most profitable friends that a Commonwealth ever had. “ If Seward shall be elected President next year, the wealth of Pennsylvania on the first day ot January, 1861, in the aggregate, will not be equal by one third of the amount of that which it .is at present The spirit of disunion has never yet, in all the issues that have arisen from time to time, made a demon stration in more than three or four of the slaveholding Stateß ; but let Sewardism exul tantly proclaim a victory over the Constitution, and, however beseechingly it might then cry “ peace, peace, the answer that it would receive from fifteen sovereignties, banded together by an inseverable tie—the tie of tbe institution of ncgroslavery—and uniting them in action for a common purpose, would be;— “thebe is no peace." “ Pennsylvania can say to Abolitionism in 1860 ,“ be still," and Abolitionism will obediently cease, forever, to disturb tbe repose and security of this common earthly tabernacle of ours. She has only to jebnke it severely to drive it back Bubdued to the dark holes of Massachusetts, from which it would probably speedily take flight to Exetqr Hall, and there ingloriously expire for the want ot nourishment. “ The Old Keystone has an important role to play in the war which Sewardism has waged against tbe Constitution. We are almost certain that she will be as faithful her future as she has been to tier past. Shq will never, never—unless she becomes incurably crazy—be guilty of the act of self-immola tion.” )
